[Red Mansion] Master Jia Dadi

"Have you verified all the numbers?" Qin Jianshen flipped through the booklet in his hand and asked casually.

After spending more than a month, the issue of military pay was finally settled, and the number of winter clothes was almost the same.

Jia Amnesty nodded, "I've verified everything."

Qin Jianshen nodded, closed the booklet in his hand, and showed some joy on his face.

And at this time.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, the saint had a frightened and angry look on his face.

"What did you say?!" The saint didn't seem to understand what he just said.

But this is impossible.Wu Xun knew this, but he also hoped that the person who was kneeling at His Highness speaking at this moment had just said something wrong.

"Your Majesty, there is a plague in the border gates. Hundreds of soldiers have developed high fevers, and the same is true in the town." Chen Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and said bravely.

plague!

How could there be a plague!

The saint's hand slipped from the armrest, and he only felt a buzzing in his mind, as if there were thousands of people clamoring around, and the world was spinning in an instant.

"Your Majesty!" An exclamation suddenly sounded.

What is wrong with me?thought the sage, perplexed.

But he quickly resolved the confusion - he passed out.

"It's almost a small thing." Jia Amnesty held a thin wolf hair in his hand, and spread several sheets of rice paper on the table, with seven or eight small patterns drawn on them.

These thin and small patterns are separated, and no one can see what it is.

But if you piece them together, it can become a firecracker.

"I remembered." Jia She said in a low voice, and he drew the last part on the rice paper.

All the parts and methods have been written out, what is missing now is a blacksmith.

It's not easy.Most of the hereditary blacksmiths were at the border. To manufacture a batch of firecrackers that could come in handy at critical moments, it was not enough to rely solely on those blacksmiths in the city.

"Master, there are people coming from the palace." Linda's voice sounded outside the study.

Jia Amnesty was stunned, and put the Langhao pen on the pen stand.

What happened?

The person who came to the palace was an old acquaintance——Little Eunuch Wu.

Seeing Jia Amnesty came out, little Eunuch Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "Jia Shilang, quickly follow our house into the palace, the Holy Majesty wants to see you."

Jia Amnesty was at a loss, but from the look on the young Eunuch Wu's face, he could tell that something big had happened, otherwise, at this time, the little Eunuch Wu would not have appeared here in such a mess.

And when Jia She met Qin Jianshen at the gate of the palace, the two exchanged a tacit look.

White walls and green tiles, the summer heat has not dissipated, and the sound of cicadas.

It was very dark inside the hall.

Jia Amnesty and Qin Jianshen saluted respectfully, and the Holy Majesty waved his hand, "Be flat, and give me a seat."

For some reason, Jia Amnesty had a feeling that the person sitting on it was sizing him up. This was not an illusion, he thought.

After being silent for a while, the sage, who was supporting his body, spoke: "Have you checked the amount of the household department?"

Qin Jianshen said yes.

The saint's eyes fell on his face, his lips squirmed, and he was hesitating in his heart, is it appropriate to leave this matter to the two of them?

There was a plague on the border. If it was not handled properly and the barbarians took advantage of it, the world would inevitably be in chaos again. This was not what he wanted to see. There were not many people who could handle it well. less.

He knew that he was getting old, and it was time for him to make a crown prince to prepare for future troubles, but neither Prince Yu nor Prince Gong could make him truly trust him. The donated money was missing, and after thinking about it, he knew that the money would definitely be used in some places that he didn't want to see, and Prince Gong seemed gentle, courteous, but he couldn't tolerate others.

No matter who is in power between these two, the remaining one will surely die.

And in the process, it is bound to cause a bloodbath.He was old, and he was not as decisive as he was back then. When the crown prince died, he regretted it.

Thinking of the prince, looking at Qin Jianshen with his head down, the saint's eyes showed sadness.

Director Wu couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional, good fortune tricks people, if the saint was more cautious back then, why should he be so distressed today.But the emperor is not wrong, and he can only say that Qin Jianshen's fate is not good.

"The plague has been closed at the border." The saint's voice was not too loud, but it seemed like a thunderbolt exploded beside the ears of the two people in the hall.

Jia Amnesty and Qin Jianshen's expressions changed instantly, plague!This is a big deal!

"How could there be a plague?" Jia She asked subconsciously, it was only the beginning of autumn, and the plague usually broke out in spring and summer, and the timing of this plague was not right, so he had to think about it.

Qin Jian said deeply, "Has the news spread?"

The saint was very appreciative of the two people's reactions in his heart. When such a thing happened, the most important thing is to control the situation first. He waved his hand, "This matter has not been reported yet, and no one in the capital knows about it."

Qin Jianshen heaved a sigh of relief. If this incident gets out, it will definitely cause chaos among the people. At that time, it will be like adding fuel to the fire. Things will only become more and more troublesome. If the news of the plague spreads to the capital, first Handled well, it will not cause civil disorder.

"As for why the plague broke out?" The saint's face showed a bit of anger, "The spies came to report, but the source of this matter has not yet been found. The doctors in the border area are no better than the capital, and they can cure a little headache. They are helpless about this plague. .”

Jia She understood that the ancient times were no different than the later generations. Ordinary families hid some good things, such as those prescriptions, which were used to cure diseases and save lives, but most of them were hidden in the hands of some aristocratic families.

There is nothing wrong with the world's pursuit of profit, but it is unavoidable to be sighed.

"I have already planned to send some imperial doctors to go with you two." The saint made up his mind, and this matter can only be entrusted to the two of them now. It would not make people suspicious, and these two people have always acted intelligently, and they expected that they would be able to adapt to the situation at the border.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty and Qin Jianshen would not refuse this matter.

Under the cover of the nest, how can there be any eggs.If there is turmoil in Da'an, it will be the people who will suffer.

Seeing that Qin Jianshen and the other two quickly responded, the saint felt a little uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "This time going to the border, you may encounter a lot of trouble. I will give you two Ren Shang Fang Baojian, if there is an accident, the two of you will act on my behalf."

Eunuch Wu was shocked, his eyelids trembled, such authority...

His expression was incredulous, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

On the contrary, Qin Jianshen and Jia She had normal expressions.

Jia She had never encountered a plague in his previous life, but he always had a good memory for seeing things, but he remembered some ways to control the plague.

Whenever a sudden large-scale outbreak of a disease such as the plague is transmitted either through the air or from the source of the disease, no matter which way it is, you must first prepare such things as masks and alcohol.

"What is this?" Chen Xuran picked up a square piece of fabric with a belt on each side, and looked at the thing in his hand full of doubts.

"Master Chen, this is a new gadget that Master Jia ordered someone to make. It is said that it is used to wear on the face to keep warm in the cold weather at the border." An official next to him said.

"Keep warm? Just this thing?" Chen Xuran sneered, shaking the fluffy fabric in his hand, "Look at this thing, it flies when the wind blows, so it's no wonder it can keep you warm."

The official smiled apologetically, "This lower official doesn't know. Once Mr. Jia said that, the lower official listened to it."

Chen Xuran threw the mask on the table casually. It seemed that this Marquis Jia En was nothing but good luck. He used the military salary to make this thing, and nine out of ten he must have taken the opportunity to make money.

However, that's okay, a mocking smile flashed across the corner of Chen Xuran's mouth, now he can learn to be smart, what Marquis Jia En wants to do is up to him, when the time comes, he will collect all these evidences and pass them to His Majesty, Jia En Hou is dead.

"What news did you hear?" Inside Prince Yu's mansion, Tu Jin saw Yan Lu walking in from the outside, and quickly got up and asked.

Yan Lu shook his head, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. His father always sent him a letter from home once a month at the border, but this month's letter has not arrived yet.

Tu Jin pinched his fingers and frowned: "Father asked Qin Jianshen and Jia Enhou to escort the military salary and some supplies to the border. I feel that something is wrong about this matter."

"My lord, could it be..." Yan Lu thought of the money that Tu Jin sent to the border. hiding.

Tu Jin also thought of this, but right now they don't know anything. If they act rashly, they will cause trouble. Although that guy Tu Feng has the same evil intentions as him, no one wants to be the first one for the time being. of.

"It's not necessarily the case." Tu Jin gritted his teeth and said comfortingly.

But his palms were full of sweat. If this is the case, then...

"My lord, there is no news from Rongguo Mansion." The servant whispered in Tufeng's ear.

Tu Feng's finger holding Heizi stopped, "What did Jia Zheng say?"

"He said that no one in Marquis Jaen's courtyard could pry their mouths open and inquire about it," said the boy.

"Trash!" Tu Feng almost crushed the sunspots on his hands, his handsome face was as gloomy as water, "Tell him, if you don't find any news, you can be a Yuanwailang with peace of mind in the future!"

"Yes." The boy replied.
