After receiving the oral order from Emperor Jing'an, Jia She immediately ordered two hundred guards to protect the dragon, said goodbye to Chen Xiu and Lin Ruhai, and set off for Jinling.The distance between Jinling and Suzhou was about three days. A team of cavalry set off early the next morning, but they arrived on the same day.

The century-old Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River has a noble concubine in the palace, so they are naturally well-informed.Ever since Meng Huai, who was recommended by Zhen Yingjia, was convicted, King Zhongyong sent someone to remind Zhen Yingjia to be careful, to stop what should be done, and to cover up what should be traced.

However, the Zhen family has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years, and there is a lot of crime and blood behind the glamorous appearance, which cannot be covered up so easily.While Zhen Yingjia put aside several important matters, she was also preparing for a retreat.In the past half a year, Zhen Yingjia used contacts of various identities under her hand to transport a lot of property.Zhen Yingjia naturally also knew that if the Zhen family really collapsed, most of the belongings that were sent out to be deposited elsewhere would be lost, and it would be difficult to find them back. But as long as one or two places are preserved, the rest of the Zhen family's descendants will also have ample food and clothing.

It's just that the imperial decree to inspect Zhen's family came down much faster than Zhen Yingjia imagined. Zhen Yingjia is still in charge of Jiangning Weaving and Lianghuai Salt Transportation.

Maybe it was Zhen Yingjia who knew that the holy will had been decided, and it was futile to resist, so she committed suicide in fear of sin.On this day, Liu Fu surrounded Zhen's mansion with management officers and soldiers, and when Jia Amnesty arrived, they went into the mansion to search together, but saw that the Zhen's family had hung up white banners, and the Zhen family's daughter-in-law was also wearing sackcloth and mourning.

As soon as Liu Fu saw this situation, he knew something was wrong. The imperial decree had been issued, and it was a serious crime for a guilty minister to kill himself. Even if he died, the three clans would be affected. Even for the sake of Concubine Zhen and King Zhongyong, Zhen Yingjia did not dare to do so.Suspicious that Zhen Yingjia and his wife wanted to escape from the funeral, Liu Fu didn't care about the many things, so he took people to Zhen's residence.Coincidentally, on the same day, Jia Amnesty and his party also arrived.

Liu Fu led people to tie up the Zhen family's subordinates, etc., and led people to open the Zhen family's warehouse, and carried out the belongings one by one to check them. The accompanying household staff registered and compiled the book. All the officials who participated in the copying had to sign Draw a charge.

At the beginning, everything was normal, and the Zhen family didn't make any fuss.It's just the century-old Zhen's family. After counting their belongings, apart from a few big pieces of gold, silver, copper and tin and some silks and satins, not even the title deed of the farm shop was seen.Now everyone knows that something is wrong.

Liu Fu ordered someone to bring Zhen Yingjia's eldest son, Zhen Baojin, to the main hall for questioning. Zhen Baojin knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty Liu can also be my uncle. The Zhen family has fallen into the land it is today because of the Zhen family's own mistakes. I can't blame anyone else, but the Zhen family and the Liu family's ancestors have some kind of friendship. Why did Uncle Liu make trouble in front of his nephew at this time? The Zhen family was defeated, and even the infant Baoyu brothers were among the criminals. My mother also died of a sudden illness, so what do I, the son of a criminal minister, keep my property? The Zhen family was indeed rich in the past, but I don’t know where it has been spent by my father these years.” He smiled bitterly.

Jia Amnesty looked up, but didn't find anything evil around him, so he glanced at Bai Ling from the corner of his eye, and Bai Ling shook his head slightly.

Liu Fu looked at the property list in his hand and frowned. Speaking of the hundred-year-old Zhen family, even in the capital, they are all countable. Only this little thing was confiscated, and anyone would find it unbelievable.Liu Fu also sneered and said: "Master Zhen can ruin the big Zhen family to this extent, he is considered a capable person."

Seeing that Zhen Baojin refused to tell the truth, Bai Ling cast a spell on Zhen Baojin, and then flirted with Jia Amnesty.Jia She said with a smile: "I was also a rare dandy in the capital. When people mention me, Jia She, Jia Enhou, even if they don't say anything in person, they will curse Rongguo Mansion sooner or later. But even so, Rongguo Mansion This is not the only thing left when I was in the mansion; when it comes to prodigal skills, I am far worse than your father, I don’t know how the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River has a hundred years of history, how did Lord Zhen lose all glory?"

After Zhen Baojin got the spell of deception, he naturally didn't keep his mouth tight anymore, he suddenly burst into tears and cried: "How do I know? I used to only know what I want, and I just told my father what I wanted to buy, and just went to the warehouse to pay the money. I once thought that the Zhen family would be so impressive, and one day they would fall into this field. If I had known this, I should have learned the law of this dynasty from my husband, and even if I tried my best, I would persuade my father not to cross the threshold." Said Then, wept again.

Seeing Zhen Baojin's appearance, Jia Amnesty had no choice. Although he guessed that there was something wrong with Zhen Yingjia's death, it was absolutely impossible for Zhen Baojin to tell a lie after he was enchanted. I don't know.

Jia Amnesty sighed and said, "I wonder if Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Zhen are buried?" Zhen Baojin didn't need to answer these words, Liu Fu said: "The spirit of death is in the ancestral hall of Zhen's family."

Jia Amnesty left Bai Ling to guard Zhen Baojin and his wife, and he and Liu Fu went to the Zhen family ancestral hall to check.As soon as he walked outside the gate of the ancestral hall, Jia Amnesty saw a dark yellow aura emanating from the Zhen family's ancestral hall.

Jia Amnesty noticed something was wrong at a glance, and hurriedly shouted: "Everyone leave the ancestral hall!" Immediately afterwards, there were two terrified screams in the ancestral hall.

The officers and soldiers in the ancestral hall had just pushed out the door when they heard bang bang bang!The sound of bang bang bang came from the coffin, as if someone was knocking on the wall of the coffin, and there seemed to be someone panting heavily inside the coffin.

Jia She raised the talisman and sealed the two coffins firmly!However, the people in the coffin seemed unwilling to be sealed inside like this, still struggling violently, and even let out a muffled roar, it was really hard to hold down the living coffin boards.

Immediately afterwards, two management soldiers walked out of the ancestral hall supporting each other. Obviously, the two were very frightened and their legs were shaking.

"Master Jia, General Liu!" The two seemed relieved to see Jia She and Liu Fu salute quickly.

Liu Fu frowned and asked, "What happened inside?"

One of the tall soldiers said: "It's nothing. Just now we heard something moving inside, and we encouraged each other to go in and have a look. Then we saw a figure walking by in the ancestral hall, and Hou Si, a timid one, even screamed. Let's take a closer look." , it’s just a cat.” As he said that, the tall man bumped the man beside him with his elbow, and said, “It’s only you who have the guts to be a soldier, so don’t scare yourself to death when you watch the night.”

The man named Hou Si smiled awkwardly.

Jia Amnesty calmly took out two thunder talismans and gave them to the two of them, saying: "Really? The ancestral hall is gloomy and sometimes quite scary. I have two peace talismans here for the two of you. The place is not invaded by evil spirits."

Everyone in the capital knows how powerful the talisman seals drawn by Jia She are.Now that Jia She has only been in the south of the Yangtze River for a few months, no one can ask for a peace talisman drawn by Jia She. Who knows that Jia She handed out two pieces of talisman papers today, but the tall soldier refused to accept them, and shrank his hands, laughing. Said: "Thank you, Lord Jia, but two villain brothers have one life, and they are not worthy of taking the talisman paper drawn by Lord Hou."

Jia She sneered and said, "Really?" He clasped the tall soldier's wrist.

The tall soldier trembled as if electrified.Jia She's eyes were like lightning and he said, "It's really fantastic to want to escape with a dead body!"

After the tall soldier was spotted by Jia She, he forced himself to calm down and said, "What is Master Jia saying? The villain can't understand." Even though he said this, his legs couldn't help but tremble.It is summer now, and they are wearing thin trousers, and the swing of the trouser legs betrays the tall soldiers.

Jia She sneered and said, "Tell me, are you Zhen Yingjia or Mrs. Zhen?"

Liu Fu's eyes widened when he heard Jia Amnesty's question. The two men in front of him followed him to the south to manage officers and soldiers. They were two brothers. Because they were both surnamed Hou, they ranked third and fourth respectively, and they were jokingly called monkey three, monkey four.Why did Lord Jia Hou say that these two are Zhen Yingjia and his wife?

The tall soldier was called Hou San, and Hou San almost cried when he saw Jia She: "Master Jia, what are you talking about? Can someone pretend to be a villain when he flees? The villain brother has been in the army for several years and has been working in the capital. Isn’t he pretending to be a villain just to get rid of it? Besides, the coffins of Zhen Yingjia and his wife are still here. If the Marquis doesn’t believe it, You can open the coffin and have a look."

Jia Amnesty ignored Hou San, and only looked at their shadows from the corner of his eye.The edges of the two shadows of the three monkeys and four brothers are incomplete, and they are not coordinated with the body movements. The movements of the shadows are either half a beat faster than the body, or half a beat slower. It is clear that there is a soul occupying the two bodies, and they have not yet fully adapted. For good sake.

"Tell me, who are you?!" Liu Fu also swiped, drew out the sword, and put it on Hou San's neck.Although Liu Fu doesn't know how to use mysterious methods, martial arts practitioners see all directions with their eyes and ears, and Liu Fu can also see that there are problems with the shadows and bodies of monkey three and monkey four.Seeing such a strange scene, Liu Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he almost jumped out of his mouth, but still drew his sword to control Hou San.

"General Liu, I went south with you on errands, but I have been following you, how could you not know me? If you think that the villain's job is not good, just send the villain back, why bother to accuse the villain and force the villain Go to hell." Monkey Three said with a wry smile on his face, and Monkey Four was also helping.

When Monkey Three was talking, Liu Fu kept looking at Monkey Three's shadow from the corner of his eye, and found that the lip movements of the shadow on the ground did not match what Monkey Three was saying. When Monkey Three paused, the shadow's mouth opened and closed. When San spoke, the shadow on the ground shut his mouth again.

Liu Fu tightened the sword in his hand, slightly scratching the skin on Monkey Three's neck, Monkey Three screamed loudly, almost forgiving his life.Liu Fu also couldn't control Hou San, so he turned around and asked Jia She, "General Jia, this is?"

Without saying a word, only the sound of bang, bang, swish, and swish was heard. Suddenly, a lot of banners hung from the roof of Zhen's ancestral hall, the paint on the four walls was peeled off, and there were also some deep and shallow talismans. .Suddenly, the ancestral hall was dimmed.Jia She grabbed Liu Fu and held up the Que Xie sword in his hand.

The soldiers outside heard the movement and rushed to knock on the door, but even if they shouted loudly, there was no response in the ancestral hall.Everyone found wooden stakes to hit the door again, but the door seemed to be made of fine iron and remained motionless.

Liu Fu only felt that his eyes went dark, and there was no sound around him, and then Liu Fu regretted that it was too quiet——

Ah~ah~ Monkey Three and Monkey Four screamed one after another, which made Liu Fu's eardrums hurt.

Jia She took out a cinnabar brush and drew a full moon in the sky, and the moon stopped three feet in front of Jia She, illuminating the ancestral hall.Then Jia Amnesty saw Monkey Three and Monkey Four hugging each other tightly and screaming there. The two obviously didn't make any major movements other than trembling, but the shadows on the ground trembled like flames blown by a strong wind, and they were pulled away for a while. Old man, it was so weak that it was almost extinguished in a moment.

The two shadows of the two simply turned upside down, both desperately hugging the legs of Monkey Three and Monkey Four, as if they didn't want to be blown away by the deceitful wind that they couldn't feel.This situation was extremely weird, Liu Fu was by no means a coward, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but feel that his hair was on the verge of falling.

"Zhen Yingjia, are you still unwilling to tell the truth?" Jia Amnesty asked coldly when he saw the two shadows on the ground.

"Jia Enhou, Jiahou Lord, please save me! Please..." After speaking, Zhen Yingjia's voice was already very weak.

"Hahahaha... Jia Amnesty can't protect himself, what's the use of begging him?" A voice laughed wildly.After a pause, the man smiled triumphantly again: "Marquis Jia En, you are finally in my hands." The voice poured into the man's ears from all directions, and he could neither hide nor judge the source of the sound. direction.

Jia Amnesty said indifferently: "Really? I don't think so. Are you a great master, or a real person?"

The voice was shocked for a moment, obviously surprised that Jia She knew their dharma names, but it only paused for a moment, and the voice said viciously: "Why should I entangle with you, a dying person, it's too illusory and psychedelic. I have to go or not, ah!" The voice was only half complacent, and then let out a shrill scream.

Liu Fu listened to the voice to identify his position, and a small mahogany sword flew out. Immediately afterwards, Jia Sheyi slashed at the top of the ancestors of the Zhen family with his evil sword.At the same time, the closed gate of the ancestral hall opened in response.After the sun shines in, the shadows of Monkey Three and Monkey Four on the ground slowly return to themselves.Both fell to the ground panting.

Two talisman papers of Jia Amnesty flew out, pinning them on the ground, and several thunder talismans were thrown out, there was a constant rumble in the ancestral hall, almost at the same moment, several thunder talismans exploded outside the ancestral hall at the same time.The thunder talisman in the ancestral hall blew away the pervasive yellow fog. At the same time, the soul-calling banners hanging from the roof of the ancestral hall and the talisman seals on the four walls became fainter and weaker.

Outside the ancestral hall, the clothes of the two management soldiers had already been smoked by thunder talismans, and there was a burnt smell in the air.Ordinary people can only see the two of them in great pain, but Jia She saw Gongsun Ba and Bai Lichao holding a soul-binding rope, entangled them tightly.

Jia She and Liu Fu came out from the ancestral hall. The two people on the ground looked at Jia She and Bai Ling, and murmured, "Impossible, he is a fox demon, how can he use thunder charms?"

Jia Amnesty was very calm, put away the evil sword and said: "Walk along the river without getting your shoes wet, I won't ask you to escape every time."

The two people on the ground glanced at Yuyun again, and one of them said: "Master Yu, after 100 years, you will finally break this formation."

Seeing Jia She and Liu Fu coming out, Yuyun was very excited, her hands trembled a little, she didn't answer the words of the two people on the ground, but whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Bo Xu, did you see that?" Is it? I finally didn’t let Ying Tiandao’s formation succeed in front of my eyes for the second time.”

It turned out that this illusory psychedelic formation was exactly the formation that trapped the three brothers of Ying Tianmen 100 years ago.Back then, Sheng Tiandao used Wen Ruobing as a bait to lure both Yuyun and Bai Xu into the formation, and in the end only Yuyun escaped, and Bai Xu died.

100 years later, Shengtiandao repeated his old trick, using Zhen Yingjia and his wife as bait, and tried to use this formation to trap Jia She.But even though they escaped from Duyangguan last time, they also died physically, and their vitality was seriously injured.He had just arrived at Zhen's house after he had been injured for more than half a year.

The two only knew that the Panxiang Temple was destroyed and the Dragon Locking Formation was broken, but they didn't know that Bai Ling was enlightened in the battle of Huanlaizhuang and was able to draw amulets by himself.The thunder talisman that Bai Ling used before was drawn by Jia She, because the interaction between the talisman and Bai Ling was limited, and the power could not be fully exerted; now the power of the thunder talisman drawn by himself is not the same.Also, Yuyun came to Jinling together with Jia Amnesty as the guardian of the dragon, and the strength of the imperial court has greatly increased.

A monk still thinks that apart from one Jia She from the imperial court, the others are nothing to fear. After tricking Jia She into the Zhen family ancestral hall, he thinks he has the chance to win, but he doesn't know that the court will follow his plan. Ling used thunder talismans to deal with the two at the same time, and after the two were injured, Gongsun Ba and Bai Lichao used the soul-binding rope to capture the souls of the two.

Although the Taixu psychedelic formation is powerful, all the monks guarding the formation this time are recovering from serious injuries, so their power is limited.Jia Amnesty, Yuyun, and Bai Ling attacked from inside and outside, and quickly broke the formation.This time there was no chance for the monks to escape together, so they were captured without a fight.

The author has something to say: Regarding the severe drought in the previous chapter, shortly after Zhen Yinglian was abducted in the original book, the Gourd Temple exploded and caused a fire. After the Zhen family was burned, Zhen Shiyin and his wife first went to Zhuangzi to live. Only then did he sell the farm and join Feng Su.So when I read the original novel, I really felt that Jing Huan and Yi Monk were very evil together. They were like plague gods, disasters happened wherever they went, and they were considered gods.

Happy Labor Day everyone.
