Amnesty of the Red Chamber

Grandpa dawdled and didn't want to move, but was dragged into his room by Yu Wenxi, and blushed angrily and shouted.

"Secret here, be careful not to have ears in the partition wall." His Majesty the Emperor explained the necessity of entering the room confidently, and pushed the Grand Master onto the chair, "Enhou, don't make trouble, I have something serious to tell you."

No matter how you look at it, this guy is full of evil intentions, the Elder Master didn't see that there was anything serious about it, so he looked at him with distrust.Let's see what flowers the old emperor can make up, if he can't... Huh!

Never mind.

"I really have business to do, so sit down soon." Sighing secretly that his reputation was low, Yu Wenxi sat down next to Jia She, and said seriously: "I have two purposes for this southern tour, one is to Inspecting embankments in various places, the second is for the salt administration of Yangzhou."

"Since last year, the price of official salt in the south of the Yangtze River has skyrocketed, leading to a flood of private salt. Last year's salt tax was a quarter less than the previous year. I am worried that this did not happen by accident, and I am also worried about this situation It will become more and more serious." Yu Wenxi's expression is a little dignified, in this era, salt and iron are the most important strategic materials, and no mistakes are allowed.

"The emperor is worried that someone is secretly manipulating, organizing a large number of salt merchants to drive up the price of official salt, and selling private salt in private for profit?" Elder Xi's brain turned very quickly, and he understood the joint after a little thought.

"That's right. The reason why I came to Yangzhou first is to attract the attention of some people, so that the people below can do things more conveniently." His Majesty the Emperor said it was a matter of business, but in fact this was not the reason.Does such a trivial matter as attracting attention need him to do it himself? !

Elder She was skeptical about this, but thoughtfully did not ask, and instead asked: "Your Majesty, what is that minister doing?" The Elder thought that he had changed his past, and became a person who is beneficial to the country and the family. People, of course, have to take the initiative to invite 'war'.

"Enhou, your task is very difficult." Yu Wenxi patted Jia She on the shoulder, and forgot to take his hand back, "We didn't hide our identity when we came, and we think that officials and salt merchants will come to the door soon. Greetings. Your task is to help me make excuses with them, give them all kinds of problems, distract them, and leave them no time to worry about others."

Tapping lightly on the armrest with his fingers, the elder asked with a strange expression: "So, my task is actually... to accompany you to eat, drink, play, and have fun?" !

"Hehe, almost, almost. In the past, I always heard that the salt merchants in Yangzhou are as rich as a country, and their lives are extravagant. In order to compare themselves with wealth, they even come up with a lot of weird tricks. Enhou, this time we can be regarded as an eye-opener. Let the two boys gain insight." His Majesty the Emperor didn't feel ashamed at all, he pretended to be public and benefited his own interests, his affairs were state affairs, and there was no distinction between public and private.

Sure enough, the general merchant of the salt industry came to visit early in the morning of the second day, and sincerely invited Prince Zhongshun and Rong Xiangong to attend the reception banquet specially organized for them by the Salt Merchants Association.Master She and the old emperor looked at each other, and walked happily together.

The reception banquet was held at the time-honored Ruyi Building in Yangzhou City, and the entire restaurant was booked out. Nearly a hundred salt merchants, large and small, from Yangzhou City came, and the ostentation was not small.When the old man and the others arrived, the salt merchants were waiting at the door to greet them, each one of them was very respectful.

In the middle of the lobby of the restaurant, the stage had already been set up. After the general merchant ordered the dishes to be served, he handed over the theater cards with both hands, "Please ask the prince and Mr. Rong to order a play. The two noblemen are used to listening to operas in the capital. This small place in Yangzhou It must be not as good, and please listen to something fresh."

play? !This is to find out Zhongshun's fault, and he prescribes the right medicine.If this is really loyal and obedient here, I'm afraid it will fall into the trap of others.It's a pity that one's loyalty is not the other's loyalty, and he is flattering.

However, in order to cooperate with the performance, he still pretended to give the general merchant a meaningful look, and generously pushed the sign to the old emperor, "When it comes to listening to operas, no one is as good at research as the prince, so I invite the prince to come. But Li General merchant, the prince has done his best, if this fails to satisfy the prince, he will be punished."

Mr. Li laughed haha, gave Jia She a knowing look, and said modestly: "Mr. Rong is embarrassing me. Yangzhou is a small place, so there are not many wonderful people. The prince and you both have high vision." , in order not to be punished, we can only do our best." The salt merchants who sat at the main table also said yes with a smile, and said that they would do their best to satisfy the two noblemen.

Yu Wenxi smiled and watched Jia Amnesty talking and laughing happily with others, squinted his eyes to watch the play cards, and casually ordered two plays of dan roles.The play cards were passed down, and after a while, babbling and babbling began to sing on the stage.His Majesty the Emperor sat there shaking his head and beating the time with his hands, looking very absorbed in listening.But, in fact, I didn't understand a sentence...

A reception banquet was a feast for the guests and host.When the banquet was about to end, Li Zongshang winked at others and said to Yu Wenxi: "My lord, I wonder if I can still get used to hearing the play just now? If it can still catch my ears, how about letting them sing a few more at the mansion? "

"It's not satisfactory." He nodded slightly reservedly, accepting Li Zongshang's hospitality, "I am very interested in Jiangnan dramas, and I want to appreciate more, but I am not familiar with the place here, so I need your help. .”

General Manager Li was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly smiled and assured, "Don't worry, my lord, the little people have nothing else to do but are familiar with this place. Just leave your affairs to the little people, don't say help, the little people Can not afford."

Mr. She pretended to be displeased, and said angrily, "Mr. Li, you guys are treating one another too favorably. The prince has done his homework well. Now that I'm here, is there nothing left? "

"What's the matter with Mr. Rong, how dare the villain neglect you. Tomorrow the villain will hold a banquet in Qiushuang Pavilion, you have to give me face." The general merchant is also a long-sleeved dancer, and he put on a grievance. By the way, he gave Jia She an ambiguous look.

Qiushuang Pavilion?The most famous youth building in Yangzhou City, my lord, I have heard of its name in the capital.Master Xi raised his eyebrows, he was so excited, what should we do? !He subconsciously stole a glance to look at the emperor's old son, but just as he met that half-smile look, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Huh?Strange, what a guilty conscience! ?

Watching King Zhongshun and Rong Xiangong's carriage go away, the core figures of the Salt Merchants Association, including Mr. Li, also dispersed, but they got together again in a different place.There were about a dozen people in the group, and no one spoke for a while, as if they were waiting for others to break the silence.

"Everyone, I always feel that things over there are not secure. What do you mean?" As the leader of the chamber of commerce, General Manager Li had to break the deadlock first.These people love money, but they don't love it to the point of death.The emperor's holy car stopped in Huai'an, which is very close to Yangzhou, but why did it take so long?Is it really because of illness?He is uneasy!

"Then these two will be effective today? I can't see any hope for one or two drunken people." One person in the seat shook his head, and his tone was not very good, which caused several people to nod frequently.The Grand Master and His Majesty the Emperor acted so much that it made people see no hope.

"Wonderfuls also have their benefits, and we don't care how capable they are, and they can speak up in front of the emperor. That's the point. I think licentiousers are pretty good, at least... easy to impress." Another person disagreed with his statement, and several people agreed with his opinion.

"Looking at what you all mean, you all think that side is unreliable, don't you?" Mr. Li glanced at everyone and saw that they nodded one by one, then said: "Then there is nothing to say, and I will serve those two first." Grandpa."

That night, Elder She was already lying flat on the bed, when suddenly he heard the sound of the window lattice.Is there a thief?The old man was excited, he quickly got up from the bed, and tiptoed to the window, waiting to catch him.

The thief's workmanship was not bad, and he opened the window bolt without flicking twice.But he didn't push the window directly, but smiled and said: "Enhou knows that I'm coming, so can't wait?"

Old Emperor!The elder opened the window suddenly, and sure enough, he saw Yu Wenxi standing outside the window with a smile on his face. Before he could close the window, he floated in and pushed him aside.

"It's late at night, please Your Majesty to rest quickly, and I will send you off respectfully." Elder Xi rubbed his feet on the ground, he really wanted to kick the emperor out, what should he do?If you really kick, will you be beheaded for hurting the dragon's body?

"I'm here to rest. Enhou, come and accompany me!"

No.60 The second round of smuggling salt to collect money to seize the heirloom and save lives

Jia Amnesty watched helplessly as the shameless old emperor climbed onto his bed, and then patted the bed and said, "Enhou, it's getting late, let's settle down earlier." Settle down!The old man lifted his legs and walked out.

Those who have no name or distinction, just want to climb into my bed, what a beautiful idea!I stopped serving, and went to find my son to warm the bed.

However, before he could take two steps, he felt a tightening of his wrist, and then he rose into the air, turned 360 degrees in the air, and landed firmly on the bed.There was a momentary blank in Master She's mind, and then he burst into anger.

"You occupy my bed, and you don't allow me to find a new one, and you throw me around. I'm not a ball. The emperor, you are too deceitful, and I will fight you." Maybe you are too angry, Perhaps because he was used to calling, he blurted out the word "Emperor Laoer".After calling the exit, the Elder simply smashed the can, vowed to rise up once, and beat the emperor and the old man.He couldn't care less about killing or cutting in the future.

However, the tragic facts proved that the cat whose hair was blown up was still a cat, and he was still no match for the old emperor who teased cats and dogs.After an arduous resistance, the Elder was still pressed firmly onto the bed, waving his limbs in vain like a turtle...

"Although it's very suitable for me to do some exercise before going to bed, but the current way of exercising is too much of a waste of energy. Enhou, why don't we change to a more harmonious exercise?" Feeling the heat of his violent breathing, Yu Wenxi put his lips on the bright red earlobe and whispered softly.

I am shameless without you!

Jia She closed his eyes dejectedly, lost his fangs and claws just now, and begged pitifully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! This minister is very weak, and you will die if you do other things." Fuck more than anything else.

Yu Wenxi was silent for a while, until Jia Amnesty couldn't help squinting his eyes to peek, then patted his cheek and sighed: "Forget it, I'm always waiting for you, just don't make me wait too long, or... Take the consequences at your own risk." He could feel that this person didn't mean nothing to him, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and it was so slippery that people couldn't catch him, depressed!

After that, he turned over and lay down next to Jia She, and seeing that he was still angry, Yu Wenxi smiled and said softly: "Okay, it's my fault for bullying you, and I won't do it again. Enhou... believe me. "

The old man's red cloth face was already about to fade, but it was dyed red again by what he said.He rolled his eyes uncomfortably, turned his back slowly, and muttered, "I believe you are a ghost." Then he laughed so hard that his mouth almost crooked.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! !However, believe in something... Hmph, no!If you believe him easily, Master, I will appear very unprincipled, easy to coax, easy to deceive.

The days of eating, drinking and having fun with the salt merchants passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, ten or so days passed, Mr. Xi was able to put down his airs, and got to know a group of wealthy Yangzhou businessmen by heart.When the wine was hot, I didn't know how many tickets were booked, and the chest was patted a few times-everyone is a brother, and we can talk when we have something to do.

The salt merchants are also human beings, knowing that words in the wine market don't count.Seeing this situation, some of them felt that Jia Amnesty and the others were not capable of handling things, and that all their abilities were in their mouths.

But some people felt that Mr. Rong Xian had mentioned this too many times, so they had to wonder to themselves, could this nobleman know something?Or, their attitude these days is too obvious, it seems that they are asking for help, and they are seen by others.

But no matter what the reason was, they couldn't drag it on any longer.There has been a decree from Huai'an, saying that the emperor's dragon body is getting better, and he will continue his southern tour in a few days, and the next stop will be Yangzhou.If you can't win the initiative, if you don't make it right, you might have to give up your wealth and life.

"Has the matter been clarified?" It was rare that there was no invitation from a salt merchant today. After breakfast, Jia Amnesty and Yu Wenxi sat down to talk.In fact, it was the old man who accompanied the emperor and the old man to set up the chess records. The two of them were a pair of stinky chess baskets, but no one disliked the other.

"Basically, I figured it out, and I can close the net when Zhongshun and the others come over." The emperor had a twist in one hand and a chess record in the other, and his posture was quite standard and elegant. Just by looking at his appearance, no one would know how bad his chess was.

"Who made the moth? Look at the attitude of the salt merchants, the people behind it must be quite powerful." Mr. She already had a guess in his mind, but the scope of suspicion was really not that big.

The countable families in the Lianghuai area do not exceed the number of double ten, and there are very few who can influence most salt merchants.Coupled with the clues from his previous life, as soon as the old emperor mentioned this matter, Mr. She set his suspicions on Zhen and Xue.

Needless to say, the Xue family made their fortunes almost at the same time as their Jia family, and they are one of the four great families in Jinling.Although they are ranked last, their family leads the government's financial bankers, and their business has spread all over the country, and they can be called pearls like earth and gold like iron.

However, with the strength of his family, he still can't control this group of big salt merchants with their eyes on the sky.After all, compared to two generations ago, Xue's family has lost their official status and has been reduced to the same level as ordinary imperial merchants. It has long since lost the glory of Ziwei Sheren.This is not something his family can do.

However, adding the Zhen family is different.

The rise of the Zhen family was still the upstart in Jinling City during the reign of the late emperor.The empress dowager in the Daming Palace, whose mind sometimes twitches, is a cousin of the old lady of the Zhen family.Both of the Queen Mother's parents died since she was a child, and she grew up in Zhen's family, which can almost be regarded as her natal family.There is a layer of relationship. In the hearts of those who don't know the details of the queen mother, the Zhen family has a layer of foreign relatives.

In addition, when the queen mother gave birth to Yu Wenxi, she announced that the old lady of the Zhen family, Mrs. Sun, would enter the palace to be her son's nanny.People in Jinling all say that His Majesty the Emperor grew up on the milk of Mrs. Zhen.But God knows, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't drink human milk at all.I don't even have a good impression of Mrs. Sun who always talks about people behind their backs.

If we talk about these two points, it is still the Zhen family fox pretending to be a tiger, but later when Yu Wenxi's harem was drafting, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family was selected into the palace again.It was also because of her good luck that she gave birth to the eldest prince and concubine in the first year.So far, the Zhen family has truly become the family of the royal relatives and foreign relatives.

Now that the princes are growing up gradually, and the eldest prince is almost fifteen, it seems that there will be another good drama of Kowloon seizing the heir apparent.As the eldest prince's mother clan, it is impossible for the Zhen family not to have some ideas.

"Eunhou has already guessed everything." Yu Wenxi took the opportunity of passing tea, and shamelessly grabbed the man's hand, "The Zhen family wants to use the name of the boss to get closer and aspire to be the number one family in the south of the Yangtze River; The Xue family couldn't bear the loneliness, and wanted to restore their former glory. The two patriarchs hit it off immediately, and they came up with the idea of ​​Yanzheng as soon as their heads got hot."

"Those salt merchants can easily submit? All of them have big families and big businesses, but none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Everyone is a thief. In front of them, I dare not say a word." Master She was full of emotion. In his two lifetimes, he was not good at using his brain, which has to be said to be a pity.

"Don't dare to talk too much?" Yu Wenxi squinted at him, and said in a steady and unhurried voice: "Yesterday, when I was talking about Wanhualou Huakui with that fat man, Enhou talked a lot, and even made gestures. It's...much more than what I've told you."

Master Xi shivered from his stare, forgot to struggle when his hands were held, he pouted and muttered: "Don't be weird. It's not that you let me play tricks with them, now it's me who blames me. Unreasonable?" Inexplicably guilty, what's going on? !

"However, I see that those salt merchants don't seem to be of the same mind with them, and they have the intention of turning against the water. I am afraid that they knew about the emperor's southern tour, and were inspired by His Majesty's great virtues. Although he didn't know why he was guilty, the elder still patted the dragon decisively.

"As long as the benefits are sufficient, a knife resting on their necks will not stop them from being bold. In the current situation, it's just an uneven distribution of spoils. In addition, I released some news intentionally or unintentionally, and the halo of the Zhen family can't be covered. " Yu Wenxi laughed and scolded him as a "sycophant", and he lost the intention of playing chess, and threw the chess pieces casually, wanting to get close to someone by pulling them.

The Eldest Master naturally refused, and the two were about to "flirt and scold", when they heard rumors from outsiders that Yangzhou Patrol Censor Shi Lin begged to see him.The two people in the room were pleasantly surprised and annoyed, and Lin Ruhai didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Good brother-in-law, it's really timely!With a sudden force, Jia She broke away from the grasped wrist, coughed softly, "Please bring my brother-in-law in quickly." Then he motioned to the old emperor with his eyes, and did not hurry to avoid it.

Because he was alone with Jia Amnesty and had no plans to go out, Yu Wenxi didn't have Yu Wenxu's face at the moment, he was so transformed into a living person, it was worth seeing.

Lin Ruhai didn't come alone, but behind him was a servant holding Lao Gao's box.Jia Amnesty didn't take it seriously, and asked someone to pick it up, but suddenly realized something was wrong.What kind of servant is this? It's obviously Mr. Li from the Salt Chamber of Commerce.

"Hey, what's going on here? Why did Mr. Li dress up like this? If you miss me, I'll just go to the door. Can I ask you to come in?" Elder Xi was quite surprised, and asked jokingly: " Could it be, is this a new pattern?"

In the past ten days, he has known how many tricks these salt merchants have.That day I went to swim in the Slender West Lake, just because he said something normal, this group of people actually sprinkled a lot of gold leaf into it, just to see the scenery.It's pie! ?Even more powerful and domineering than Lao Tzu.

Mr. Li stepped forward to give a deep salute, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Rong was joking, the villain doesn't have the mind to play tricks now, and his life is about to be lost. Mr. Rong is so righteous, please save the villain, etc. Be a salt merchant." As he spoke, he couldn't afford to kneel.

"Brother brother, speaking of it, it's my younger brother's dereliction of duty. As a patrol censor, this kind of trouble happened under his rule. He really owes the emperor." Lin Ruhai bowed to the end in the direction of Huai'an, his face full of embarrassment , "When the holy driver comes to Yangzhou in the future, the younger brother should come to the imperial court to plead guilty, and I also ask the elder brother to be considerate for the younger brother."

"After talking for a long time, one called for help, and the other wanted to plead guilty. What the hell is it? It's worth all of you acting like this. Keep your heart in your stomach, our friendship is here, so naturally I have to take care of you. Yes." The elder was still very righteous, and he took over the matter with a wave of his big hand.

Lin Ruhai glanced at Mr. Li coldly, and reprimanded, "What's the matter, why don't you explain it quickly, or no one will be able to protect you." In the half a year since he took office, these big salt merchants have not been very enthusiastic about it, so he can't open it. situation.Now that they couldn't bear it anymore, they knew that dragging him into the water was really abominable.

Mr. Li seemed to be really frightened, he didn't dare to get up while kneeling, and hurriedly started talking.

Since the beginning of last year, they have been collaborating with the Zhen family and the Xue family to attack the official salt with a large amount of private salt in order to make huge profits.Among them, the Xue family is in charge of salt production, they are in charge of sales, and the Zhen family is in charge of transportation on the road.

For this reason, the Zhen family specially organized a large number of salt lords and equipped them with sophisticated weapons, almost monopolizing all the private salt business in the Lianghuai area.In the last year alone, they earned nearly ten million taels.

In the beginning, everyone shared the spoils reasonably and cooperated happily; but within half a year, the Zhen family became greedy and wanted to gain more profits by relying on monopoly.On the surface, the salt merchants didn't argue with him, but in fact, they already had knots in their hearts.Then the emperor suddenly wanted to tour the south, which made them feel uneasy; a while ago, they heard that the Zhen family was not valued by the emperor at all, and they even retreated.

Although they approached Prince Zhongshun and Jia Amnesty according to the Zhen family's order, they actually had their own plans in mind.But just last night, something happened that made them dare not neglect any more, and hurriedly asked Lin Ruhai to visit Jia Amnesty.

The reason why Lin Ruhai was approached was that one was that he was the censor of salt inspection, and he should take care of this matter; the other was that he was Jia She's brother-in-law, so he could be more or less connected; the three were that he was used as a cover so as not to attract attention. .

"After talking for a long time, what happened yesterday to scare you like this?" The old man tapped his fingers on the table and asked playfully.He really didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know if the old emperor knew about it.

……

At this time, in the next room, Yu Wenxi frowned slightly while holding a stack of secret reports, and said, "You mean, that Zhou Daquan is dead? What about the account book in his hand?"

……

"Mr. Rong, Zhou Daquan was killed yesterday." Mr. Li's face was pale, and his lips trembled unconsciously.Last night, he was drinking and talking with Zhou Daquan. This morning, he was killed. Who would know his panic?He was afraid, afraid of becoming the next one.

"Zhou Daquan, that fat man who calculated his accounts very clearly, is he dead?" Jia Amnesty's expression became more serious, he picked up Mr. Li and pressed him on the chair, and asked, "He is dead, why are you so afraid of this?" ?”

Mr. Li was half paralyzed on the chair, and tremblingly said: "The accounts we have exchanged for more than a year are all in the hands of Zhou Daquan. We thought that apart from a few people from the Salt Merchants Association, Zhen, Xue, etc. The two families didn't even know that we had such an account. But now... I'm afraid people have always known."

Speaking of this, his face became even more bitter, and he said with a crying voice: "I, the reason why I am afraid of this is because... because I also have a copy in my hand. Mr. Rong, help!" In fact, this is not the case, he is afraid that people will also know his account.

"Where's the account book?" Seeing him like this, the old man wanted to laugh, but he held back and asked with a sullen face.Obviously not that daring, but still want to do that daring thing, don't know what the picture is.Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, can they die and take them away?

"You don't need to ask, here it is." Yu Wenxi walked in quickly and threw an inch-thick booklet to Jia Amnesty.

At this time, he had put on a loyal and obedient face again, and the elder twitched the corners of his mouth at that face.Thank goodness, my nerves are strong enough, otherwise the emperor's old man is like a painted skin all day, who can stand it?If it were another person, he must be insane.

Before Grand Master Xi went to look through that account, His Majesty the Emperor took out another similar one and threw it to him.The elder was stunned, looked over suspiciously, and asked, "This is it too?"

"These salt merchants are very ghostly, and almost everyone has such an account. They are afraid of being tricked, but they don't know that they are the worst." Yu Wenxi stared at Li Zongshang with a stern look, and ordered Said: "Take him down to have a good look, don't let anyone kill another one."

No.60 The third time Zhen Yingjia actually had a kind of determination to die Xue Jiacheng Yunyan

In a secret room in the other courtyard of the Zhen family in Yangzhou, Zhen Yingjia, the patriarch of the Zhen family, also had a ledger in front of him.He flipped through it inexplicably, and said with a sneer: "I know that group of merchants are very dirty, thinking that with such a secret account, it will be difficult to hold the master? Humph!"

Xue Sheng, the Patriarch of the Xue Family, was also present here, and his face was not as calm as Zhen Yingjia's, "Brother Youzhong, I always feel that something is not right, should we accept it? Besides, the emperor's southern tour, I I always feel that it is not only for the river workers, but also for us."

"What are you afraid of? Even if something happens, I will stand up for it." Zhen Yingjia despised Xue Sheng's timidity very much, and said displeasedly: "The matter is not that serious, hasn't the account book been brought back? Besides, Gong There are Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhen inside, and they are all our reliance."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xue Sheng coldly, and said like a raving: "If it doesn't work, there will be His Royal Highness. His Highness is currently in Beijing to supervise the country. If something happens in Jiangnan now..." These words are still full of meaning , but the pavement came with a strong and spicy taste.

Xue Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhen Yingjia in horror, his face turned pale, "You, Youzhong, it's not easy to say such words. In this way, let's pretend that you haven't said it, and I haven't heard of it. I have heard..." As he spoke, he was about to stand up and say goodbye.

By this time, Xue Sheng really regretted it.He mingled with Zhen Yingjia just to seek money, but he didn't have the guts to think about such outrageous things.Why didn't he realize that Zhen Yingjia was so daring to think and act before? Now he can only regret it.

"Jixing, I'm not joking about this." Zhen Yingjia leaned towards Xue Sheng slightly, took his arm, and said in a low voice: "There is an opportunity in front of me, as long as the plan is right, what I say will not be for nothing." False. Do you know that the emperor has actually arrived in Yangzhou."

"What did you say?" Xue Sheng opened his mouth dumbly and asked.He didn't feel that Zhen Yingjia could accomplish anything, but it would be good if he could find out his reality.After all, when you go to inform, you have to have some dry goods, right?

Zhen Yingjia let him go, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said with a non-focused smile: "I got the definite news that the emperor did not recuperate in Huai'an, but came to Yangzhou with Jia Amnesty, as the king of loyalty and obedience." When they first arrived in Yangzhou, I had some guesses, so I let those idiots attract their attention. I secretly ordered people to go to Huai'an to inquire, and finally got the definite news yesterday."

"There are only four or five guards around them, and they have two children with them. This is an excellent opportunity. Jixing, God will be blamed instead. We can't miss this opportunity. Don't worry, once It's done, not to mention restoring the glory of your ancestors, but going a step further, so what's the difficulty?" Zhen Yingjia wins over Xue Sheng not only for the sake of the Xue family, but also because of the three families in Beijing.

Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue, the four major families in Jinling since the founding of the dynasty, although they are now in decline, the contacts in their hands are not comparable to the upstarts like the Zhen family.Zhen Yingjia needs to use Xue's family to win over Jia, Shi, and Wang's family.

Xue Sheng was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and asked: "It's not that I don't believe you, Youzhong, but that the emperor's whereabouts are top secret. How did you find out? If one of them makes a mistake, our two families will be lost forever." It seems that the emperor is surrounded by traitors, if he can find out, maybe he can atone for his crime.

Zhen Yingjia stared at Xue Sheng with a smile that was not a smile, until he looked embarrassed, and then said indifferently: "Since I want to know, then I will tell you. Li Qing, the head of Qianqing Palace, has been taken down by me. He, yes my people."

"Li Qing?" Xue Sheng lowered his head, and began to quickly calculate the gains and losses in his heart.He didn't expect Zhen Yingjia to be able to buy even the emperor's closest confidant. Could it be that he was really sure?But... the current emperor has been on the throne for 17 years, so it doesn't look like he is easy to fool.

"Jixing, do you know why I tell you everything?" Zhen Yingjia looked at Xue Sheng jokingly, and said with a laugh: "Because, the killer has been sent out. Now, the two of us are like grasshoppers on the same rope. No one can run away."

"If it works, then go to the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth; if it doesn't work, then go to the capital together, go to Caishikou...beheaded." Speaking of this, as if thinking of something happy, Zhen Yingjia couldn't help laughing, nodded Xue Sheng and said: "Jixing, don't think I don't know your thoughts, you, don't try to pick yourself out."

"You!" Xue Sheng was shocked and angry when he heard the words. He stood up and glared at Zhen Yingjia angrily, cursing in a trembling voice: "Zhen Youzhong, you are so kind! Do you know what you are doing? Rebellion, you are here Rebellion! What on earth are you trying to do?!"

Speaking of the excitement, he grabbed Zhen Yingjia's neck, shook desperately and shouted: "My Xue family will never go with you, don't try to drag me into the water, don't try to - I tell you, I The Xue family has received the grace of the emperor for generations, and will never do such a rebellious thing, never!!!" After saying that, he threw people away like trash, turned around and was about to leave.

Xue Sheng really didn't expect that Zhen Yingjia would be so agile in handling affairs. He just got the news yesterday and would dare to send a killer to assassinate him today.He didn't even think about it, even if the emperor travels in low clothes, there are not many guards around him on the surface, but isn't there any in secret?If there is a mistake in this kind of thing, it will not only ransack the family and exterminate the family, but also destroy the nine clans.

What's even more hateful is that Zhen Yingjia actually dragged him into the water without knowing it, and framed him so blatantly.This, this is really the injustice of my previous life!He didn't visit the god and Buddha of the Xue family, so how could he be so unlucky to get caught up with such a traitor.

Watching Xue Sheng rushing out coldly, Zhen Yingjia didn't stop her, straightened her clothes indifferently, and sneered, "Jixing, what do you want to do? I've already said that we are grasshoppers on the same rope." , before things come to fruition, no one can do without anyone."

Just as Xue Sheng rushed out of the secret room door, he flew back in the air.Immediately afterwards, two big men in black came in, clasped their fists like Zhen Yingjia, and said, "My lord, Mr. Xue went the wrong way. We have sent him back."

"Good job. Go and guard the door, and send it in as soon as there is news." Zhen Yingjia waved his hand, ignoring Xue Sheng who was angry and frightened, and sat silently on the chair, his eyes didn't know where to look.

In fact, he was not as calm as he appeared. He was actually terrified to death, and he didn't want to go to this point.But he didn't want to die, he didn't want to be exiled, he didn't want to eat chaff...he was forced to do all of this, forced.

……

"Kunlun, Yun Lie, you protect Si'er and Lian'er and leave first. The accompanying guards are already rushing to Yangzhou, so they should not be far away at this time." Yu Wenxi gave Yuwen Xiao Si'er a jade plaque in his hand, solemnly He said: "This thing can prove your identities. After seeing the guard camp, you don't need to look for me, just go and surround Zhen's other courtyard."

Si'er pursed his lips and nodded, hiding the jade plaque next to his body.Before being taken away, he looked back at his father, full of doubts in his heart.Why... His father didn't seem to be angry when he was assassinated?

"Lian'er, I have already earned the family business for you. It's up to you whether you can keep it or not. Remember, find a good husband for your sister, and don't allow her to marry a grandson; and you, no You are allowed to marry Wang Xifeng, no, you are not even allowed to marry someone with the surname Wang, no one can do it; in addition, tell your wife that if you want to remarry, you can feign death and get away, I will not delay her..." At this critical juncture, pardon the lord I just feel that there are thousands of words that I haven't explained to my son, and I regret that I didn't record them in a book.

"Okay, there's no need to tell the last words, I can protect you." Yu Wenxi gave him an angry look, and pushed Jia Lian to Yun Lie.

The two younger ones knew that this was an extraordinary time, and when they were not mothers-in-law, they also knew that being here was a burden, and they were obediently taken away by Kunlun and Yunlie.

That's right, Yu Wenxi, Jia She and others are being hunted down by a group of assassins at this time.Although the martial arts are not outstanding, the large number of people makes the guards fall into a hard fight.Fighting and retreating along the way, he has come to the suburbs.

He had expected that Zhen Yingjia would take the risk, but he didn't expect that Zhen Yingjia would be so crazy, and he suddenly launched an attack tonight, which caught him off guard.Fortunately, he has always adhered to the principle of being prepared, and yesterday he secretly ordered a battalion of guards to come to help.Calculating the time, they should have reached the boundary of Yangzhou.

"What the hell, Zhen Yingjia, wait for me to strike, I can't kill you, you bastard." Jia Amnesty slashed at the assassin who turned the front, and before he could stop, he slashed to the other side, his posture was extremely ugly.His sword skills are on the battlefield
