Sleeping too late, Jia Amnesty fell asleep not long after his head touched the pillow.The two elders were lying together snoring loudly, and neither of them affected the rest of the other.

On the contrary, Liu Yu, who was keeping vigil for Situ Chen, didn't fall asleep all night, and ordered the people in the yard early the next morning not to tell anyone about who was together between the prince and the marquis last night.

Although I didn't do anything, I was worried that there would be some people who were tired of talking and chewing their tongues...

"Uh-huh?"

Situ Chen woke up first, removed Jia Amnesty's arm from his chest, sat up and took a deep breath.He was really exhausted last night, and he stopped directly at Rongguo Mansion after confiscating the stolen goods hidden by the Zhen family.

He has a temporary accommodation in Rongguo Mansion, why is he sleeping with Jia She again?

He lowered his head and glanced at the key parts. Fortunately, there was no embarrassment again.

Looking back at Jia She, who was still asleep, Situ Chen helped Jia She cover the blanket that had been kicked off, and then asked Liu Yu about what happened last night.

There should be nothing wrong.

"My lord and my lord slept soundly last night, and nothing happened." Liu Yu told the truth and quickly dispelled Situ Chen's worries.Liu Yu saw a water mark on the collar of Situ Chen's jacket, so he hurriedly took out the dry jacket that was delivered overnight, and ordered his servants to prepare hot water for bathing.

If anything can wet the collar, it can only be saliva.Situ Chen took off his middle coat and went to the side of the bed.Sure enough, traces were also seen on Jia Amnesty's collar.

He and Jia She are really good brothers, and they drool together in sleep.

Just as Situ Chen was staring at Jia She's collar, Jia She woke up and opened his eyes. Seeing Situ Chen staring at him with shirtless arms, Jia She was so frightened that he grabbed the blanket and sat up and asked Situ Chen what he was going to do. .

"I was drooling when I slept last night. Hurry up and take a shower." Although it was autumn, the temperature in the capital was not cold. Situ Chen sat naked by the bed and said.

What kind of bath to take in the morning, it's strange to toss.Isn't it just to leave a saliva, just wipe it off.To be honest, Situ Chen didn't wash his feet before going to bed last night.

"Last night was a special situation. I came back too late and was too tired to go to bed. It's really not appropriate to take a shower in the morning, so just wipe it off as Enhou said, and wash it when you return home at night. There is hot water over there. It’s not burning in vain, just take it to wash your feet.”

Situ Chen gave a lot of instructions, and Liu Yu immediately followed them.

Jia Amnesty sat cross-legged on the bed after waking up, and chatted with Situ Chen about the confiscation of the Zhen family's stolen goods last night.The Zhen family must have not noticed that the things are gone now, and even the people who helped the Zhen family to watch may not be able to find out immediately.It was only when the Zhen family brought the next batch of stolen goods over that they discovered that all the gold, silver and jewels that had been hidden before had disappeared, not to mention all of them had been turned into stones.

I don't know how the Zhen family will react when they learn that the gold, silver and jewels that were finally transferred to the capital are gone.

It's stolen stolen goods, how dare you report it to the officials?Situ Chen didn't think the Zhen family would do such a stupid thing.Moreover, if the things in the capital are lost to the Zhen family, they will be lost, and they will not hurt their tendons or move their bones.

"How else can I react? Naturally, tears flow into my stomach, as if nothing is wrong. Those who should go up to court go up as usual, and those who should enjoy the flowers continue to enjoy the flowers."

Jia Amnesty nodded, feeling that Situ Chen's analysis was very reasonable.It's just that since the emperor knows that the Zhen family will definitely pretend that nothing happened, why not wait any longer, and wait until the Zhen family delivers more things, wouldn't it be more profitable?

When Situ Chen put on his coat, he glanced at Jia She. How could his father's thoughts be so easy to guess?

"Stop talking nonsense, wash your feet quickly!"

Liu Yu and another eunuch brought two footbaths into the house and put them on the footrests, and began to serve them to wash their feet.

Washing feet early in the morning, Jia She always felt a little weird.Seeing Situ Chen enjoying himself with his eyes closed, Jia Amnesty wanted to find something to chat with Situ Chen.

In a panic, Jia Amnesty stretched out his left foot and stepped on Situ Chen's foot, saying that his feet were longer than Situ Chen's.Situ Chen was suddenly stepped on by Jia She, and he questioned Jia She with a hint of anger in his tone.

"Do you have athlete's foot?"

I just wanted to find a topic, why did I get into athlete's foot, and my tone was so fierce...

"Of course not. My lord, look, my feet are longer than my lord's." Jia Amnesty's topic was really boring, Situ Chen snorted and said, "It's wider than this king's, like a pig's trotter."

"How can there be pig's trotters?" Jia Lian didn't know what was going on, and hurried in when he heard pig's trotters at the door. "Huh? Daddy and Uncle Wang are washing their feet?"

How to explain to my son about washing feet in broad daylight is a headache...

Jia Amnesty glanced at Situ Chen who was pretending to be calm, and then began to fool his youngest son.Even Jia Amnesty could pull out such nonsense as "we have a good relationship, why don't we wash our feet together", but Jia Lian really believed it.

Situ Chen glanced at Jia She who had escaped, and asked Jia She with his eyes if it was really okay to fool his son like this.Jia Amnesty glared at Situ Chen, if he thought he was talking nonsense, don't pretend to be dumb.

"Why is Lian'er here alone, where's your elder brother?" Situ Chen finally stopped pretending to be dumb, but asked nonsense.

Regardless of what time it is, of course Jia Hu has already entered the palace to accompany Situ Che to study.

The water for washing feet was a little cold, Liu Yu reminded him in a low voice, and it was natural to divert some embarrassing topics...

Situ Chen put on his shoes, went to the little eunuch who was serving Jia Lian, randomly picked a book in Jia Lian's new schoolbag, and asked two questions. Seeing that Jia Lian answered accurately and fluently, he touched the top of Jia Lian's head and praised Jia Lian for being smart. .

"Lian'er will definitely be admitted to be the number one scholar in the future!"

"Hey, I'm going to study at my grandparents' house. Bye bye, daddy, bye bye, Uncle Wang." Jia Lian smiled and took the book from Situ Chen, put it in the schoolbag held by the little eunuch, and trotted out with the schoolbag on her shoulders. room.

Seeing the figures of the two young eunuchs chasing Jia Lian, Situ Chen casually asked if the little eunuchs sent here a few days ago were satisfied with their use.

Jia Amnesty divides the six little eunuchs sent by Situ Chen into two groups, two close eunuchs and one coarse eunuch to serve a son as a group.Generally speaking, Jia Amnesty was very satisfied. Seeing that Jia Amnesty was satisfied with Situ Chen, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Clean up and go to the cafeteria to have a meal first. Maybe the reward from the father is already in the household department." Situ Chen just said casually, it doesn't matter whether his father gives the reward or not, don't blame him for participating in the search for stolen goods That's fine.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, I could smell the aroma of rice before entering the door.Situ Chen suddenly remembered that last night Jia Amnesty had teased him for his bad eyesight, and immediately ordered a fried pork liver with green peppers.

He eats the pork liver, and the green peppers are reserved for Jia She, who hates fried green peppers.

"Pork liver is not the only thing that has the effect of improving eyesight. If the prince doesn't like pork liver, eating more fish will also help..." Seeing that Situ Chen ordered a piece of pork liver that he rarely ate on weekdays, Jia Amnesty recommended changing it. The same thing Situ Chen likes to eat.

Hearing that Jia She cared about him so much, Situ Chen felt warm in his heart, and insisted that the pork liver was for Jia She.He also joked that since Jia She's night vision is so good, Jia She will replace Liu Yu to watch the night in the future.

"Since the lord is so trustworthy, then you have to watch the night for the lord, and promise not to tell about the slobbering of the lord." Seeing Situ Chen's expression change slightly, Jia She knew that he had guessed right.

Even if Situ Chen was a bit of a clean freak, he wouldn't change the clothes he just put on last night in the morning. Situ Chen must have been drooling and changed his clothes while he was still asleep.

"Enhou should just lie down on the bed by himself." Situ Chen said, picked up a big chopsticks for Jia She to fry green peppers, and put them in Jia She's bowl. "Eat quickly, and go to the Yamen to have a look after eating."

This time the emperor made a fortune from the Zhen family, and the gold and silver pulled into the private treasury was as high as 10,000+ taels, not counting jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings?

The total reward of gold and silver was a bit boring, so the emperor picked some antique calligraphy and paintings and rewarded them to Situ Chen and Jia She.As for Wang Ziteng, who was also successful in confiscating stolen goods, he got a lot of jewelry.Jia She heard that there was a night pearl the size of a pigeon egg inside.

However, no matter how big the Ye Mingzhu was, the ancient fan was not attractive to him.

"These ancient fans must have a history of at least 200 years, and they are all treasures..." Jia She praised the ancient fans repeatedly.It seems that apart from these ancient fans, everything else is waste paper.The paintings and calligraphy hidden by the Zhen family are really not too expensive, relatively speaking, those ancient fans are really good.

Situ Chen was not interested in ancient fans. Seeing that Jia She liked ancient fans so much, he thought about collecting some ancient fans when he didn't find a few pieces of red fox fur. It's better to send some ancient fans first.

After appreciating it for a while, Jia Amnesty solemnly put the fan back into the box and handed it to Liu Yu, temporarily putting it in a safe area, and taking it back with him when he returned home.

"By this time, the news that the Zhen family lost something should have spread to the south of the Yangtze River. It just so happens that Jia Zheng and his wife haven't taken office yet, so there will be excitement to watch." Situ Chen picked up the tea bowl and scraped the foam from the tea leaves.

Jia Amnesty spread out the account book, fiddled with the abacus twice, and said, "Qiongzhou is far away and is on the frontier of Daqi, so it is no different from being exiled. There are probably two possibilities. One is that the Zhen family intends to no longer control Jia Cunzhou and let him live. Qiongzhou is going to die on its own. The second way is to send some members of the Zhen family to follow Jia Zheng over there to grind Jia Zheng to death."

Situ Chen rubbed his chin, guessing that the Zhen family would be more likely to choose the second option.

After losing so many things, why not take it out on Jia Zheng?

When she heard the news that the Zhen family's things had been stolen, Mrs. Wang was drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror, and with a trembling hand, she drew the eyebrows to the position where they were directly inserted into the temples.

"Lost it? How did you lose it? Did you report to the officials in the competition? How does Lord Zhen think about this matter? Is there any blame?" Mrs. Wang didn't have time to wash and repaint the eyebrows that were damaged, and she turned to the person who came to deliver the news. The mother-in-law of the Zhen family asked questions.

The woman glanced at Mrs. Wang's eyebrows, thinking that Mrs. Jia Wang is really shrewd and sometimes confused, and when he is confused, he is not as good as his mother-in-law.

If this incident happened in Jinling, Master Zhen would definitely report to the customs and order the prefect of Jinling to dig Jinling City three feet to get back those gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings.But this thing was stolen in the capital, how can I report it to the authorities?

"Not only your place, but the warehouses in the entire capital city have been ransacked and replaced with stones. Mr. Zhen thinks that someone must have been targeted early on and plotted for a long time before doing it." As for whether to blame, of course It's to blame.So many things were stolen by thieves, who could not be angry?

But what's the use of being angry, if you get angry, you will only spend more money.

Let's investigate this matter little by little quietly, until the results are found out, we won't send things to the capital again...

Mrs. Wang was relieved to learn that the Zhen family did not blame her.

Fortunately, she kept an eye on it, and every time the Zhen family hid gold, silver and jewelry, she secretly took some jewelry back and hid them in Jia's mansion.Now that the Zhen family's belongings in the entire capital have been looted, the jewelry she took before is even more unverifiable.

Had I known something like this was going to happen, I would have taken more.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was relieved, the woman thought that Mrs. Wang was worried that the Zhen family would blame Miss Jia for the theft of gold, silver and jewelry, and told Mrs. Wang to reassure Mrs. Wang.

"Since the chrysanthemum appreciation party, the wives of the Zhen family are very satisfied with Miss Jia. If there is a party in a while, they will invite Miss Jia to attend." Just invite Jia Yuanchun, as for Mrs. Wang Where is the coolness and which is to stay.

Within two days, the Zhen family asked Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to leave for Qiongzhou to take up their posts. If they can get out of Jinling City in three days, don't wait until the fifth day.

Mother Jia didn't expect Jia Zheng to go to the post in such a hurry, and she wondered in her heart whether Mrs. Tianwang's poor performance had annoyed some noble person in the Zhen family?

How dare the daughter-in-law offend the Zhen family?A few days ago, the mother-in-law of the Zhen family came over and said that the wives of the Zhen family are very satisfied with our daughter-in-law, and they will call us when there is a party in a few days. Mrs. Wang felt that she had wronged Dou E. It was bad enough to follow Jia Zheng to Qiongzhou, but now she was being blamed again.

Mrs. Wang refused to take this "black pot" by saying anything.

Jia's mother just vented her dissatisfaction casually, seeing that Mrs. Wang had been wronged, she didn't say anything, and hurriedly asked the servants to pack Jia Zheng's bags.Always worried that Jia Zheng would be short of things in Qiongzhou, Jia's mother even brought a pear tree for Jia Zheng's bathtub.

After cleaning up for five full days, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang drove out of Jinling City with seven carriages and rushed to Qiongzhou to take up their duties.

Those who didn't know thought it was moving...

Zhen Zhibang heard that Jia Zheng had brought seven carriages to Qiongzhou, but he didn't invite a single guard.I don't know whether to say that the old lady Jia kept everything secret or was too naive. Doesn't this make Jia Zheng wait to be robbed?

Anyway, sooner or later they will be robbed, so it is better for the Zhen family to teach Jia Zheng a lesson first, and make up for the loss of the Zhen family a few days ago.Zhen Zhibang shared his idea with his elder brother Zhen Zhiyuan, and Zhen Zhiyuan immediately clapped his hands in agreement, and ordered his subordinates to wipe their tails clean.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng looked at each other with disgust, and each sat in a carriage.In order to reduce the bumps, the coachman drove the car not too fast at all, and it was not far to the outskirts of Jinling until it was dark.

Just when the two were about to eat something and rest, a group of masked people rushed over with a torch in one hand and a knife in the other.Jia Zheng had never seen this posture before, and immediately yelled that he was an official of the imperial court.

"Brother, I met a big ticket today, saying that he is an official of the imperial court!"

"Haha, I'm tied up! One hundred thousand taels or less will tear up the ticket!"

The robbers were all disguised by the guards of the Zhen family. The task they received was to take away everything, tie up Jia Zheng as a meat ticket, and let Mrs. Wang go back to manage the old lady Jia and ask for money to redeem him.

Mrs. Wang really felt sorry for Jia Mu's 10 taels of silver, and wished that Jia Zheng would go to see Lord Yama sooner.But now his and her lives are still held by the robbers, so they have to go back.When I go back, I have to tell the truth to the old lady, otherwise Jia Zheng will be torn apart...

The old lady has to tear her up!

"Stop thinking about ghost ideas!" A robber saw that Mrs. Wang was distracted, and slapped Mrs. Wang twice. "Two nights later, we will see silver here. If you dare to report to the police, I will kill your husband!"

The coachman was too frightened to speak, and tremblingly took Mrs. Wang back to Jia's house in Jinling to get the silver.

Mother Jia saw that Mrs. Wang's cheeks were so swollen that she struggled to speak, and she was unable to reprimand her daughter-in-law. This matter was her negligence after all. Mother Jia could actually take out the 10 taels of silver, but after taking the 10 taels to redeem Jia Zheng, Mother Jia's private house would shrink a lot.

After much deliberation, Jia Mu made a bold decision.He went to Zhen's house with 5 taels of silver bills and begged Zhen's family to rescue Jia Zheng from the robbers.

In order to save money, the old lady even cared about her son's life?Or did he trust the Zhen family too much, thinking that the Zhen family would be able to rescue Jia Zheng safely?

However, Jia Zheng was kidnapped by the Zhen family. If the Zhen family really saved him, he could guarantee that Jia Zheng would go back to Jia's house without any injuries.It's just that the old lady took too little money, only 3 taels.This is far from the 10 taels expected by the Zhen family.

"The old lady didn't arrange guards for Jia Zheng, what a mistake..."

Mother Jia knew that the 3 taels of silver would not be enough to feed the Zhen family, so she hurriedly took out another 2 taels of silver notes that she had prepared earlier, even if she invited the guards of the Zhen family to escort his son to Qiongzhou safely. Bar.

Although 5 taels was only half of the expectation, the Zhen family still accepted it and said that they would send someone to rescue Jia Zheng now, ensuring that Jia Zheng would be unharmed.

Jia Zheng was tied up with a rope, and his stomach was growling with hunger.Just as he was about to call him to eat, he heard a "robber" yell that the officers and soldiers were coming, and he left him and ran away without a trace.

This... is this kidnapping serious?

"Sorry Mrs. Jia, we are late." The second group of guards of the Zhen family carried Jia Zheng back to Jia's house.After streamlining his luggage, he recuperated for a few days and rushed to Qiongzhou again under the escort of his guards.

A few days after Jia Zheng left, Jia Amnesty's letter of appointment finally came down.Jia She happily took it apart and looked at it, but was immediately stunned.

"Isn't it the servant of the household department that was promised? How could it be..."
