Chapter 754 Zhen Qing: If she hadn’t married the prince
Yangzhou, Yanyuan Yamen
In the wing room
Zhen Lan, Zhen Xi and Zhou were talking with smiles.
Mrs. Zhou looked at the two girls with a smile and said, "Yu'er is not here. If she were here, you young ladies would have a lot to say."
Zhen Lan had a bright smile on her face and said, "Sister Lin, I saw her at home last time and talked a lot with her. When I got back to Jinling, I even said I wanted to visit her."
Zhen Xi also said in a waxing voice: "Sister Lin even talked poetry to us that day."
Zhou smiled and said, "Yu'er usually loves these."
While Zhen Lan was speaking, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the sky outside, and secretly thought that the eldest sister and brother Heng had been together for a while, and she didn't know how they were talking about the second uncle and the fourth uncle.
Brother Heng, most likely he doesn’t want to help.
It was late afternoon, and the warm summer sunshine shone on a table in the study. The heat in the tea cup had long since dissipated. Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing's plump waist, with a mountain shape without wings.
There was also sweat oozing out from the forehead and cheeks under the crown.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and the weather is still a bit hot. After all this infatuation, I am still sweating.
Zhen Qing hugged Jia Heng's neck tightly at this moment, her hair was messy, her snowy and gorgeous cheeks, and her beautiful neck were covered with a layer of glistening sweat, her mouth was breathing lightly, and her chest was rising and falling.
"Take a break and get up quickly. People will be suspicious later." Jia Heng looked at the young Hua Xin woman with a face as bright as a peach and plum, and said softly.
Under Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows, her narrow phoenix eyes painted with rose-red eyeshadow were slightly opened, and the corners of her eyes were full of charm. Her face, which was made of ice and jade bones, was already covered in red clouds. Her delicate body was trembling, as if she was still intoxicated.
In the aftertaste.
Jia Heng took a handkerchief to Zhen Qing to collect the sweat on her forehead and temples, and said warmly: "It's not our last encounter, why are you doing this?"
Zhen Qing's face was as red as the clouds. Feeling the young man's thoughtfulness, her heart felt sweet. Her voice was already trembling, and she said, "You don't want me anyway, so I might as well let you get me today."
Jia Heng was speechless for a moment and whispered: "Even if you want to, I can't do it."
He hugged Zhen Qing and said, "I never said I didn't want you anymore." "Then you did it just now?" Zhen Qing said angrily with a face full of embarrassment.
Jia Heng looked at the blushing Zhen Qing and said softly: "I just want you to think about it. What do you want to do? Why."
A trace of anger appeared on Zhen Qing's beautiful face, and she said, "You said I was using you? I just want to be with you forever. I want the two of us to be in charge of the country's affairs for a long time in the future, but you don't agree."
"You just want to be the queen, don't say those high-sounding words, you can't deceive me." Jia Heng said.
Zhen Qing is also quite good at painting cakes sometimes, and most people just don't believe her.
Zhen Qing became angry and said: "I just want to be the queen, what's wrong? If you have the ability, I will be your concubine willingly."
It was clear that he was in a moment of impatience and said something treasonous and disrespectful.
Jia Heng's expression paused and his eyes became a little gloomy, but he did not accept the words and asked deliberately: "Since you said that the two of us have been in charge of the country's affairs for a long time, I am very curious."
"What are you curious about?" Zhen Qing frowned, licked her pink lips, and couldn't help but ask.
"What about King Chu? What is he doing? Is he watching from the sidelines as we fight to the death?" Jia Heng said seriously, seeming to cooperate with the fight to the death, pushing and pushing.
Why is Bing Bing in charge of the country's affairs? Don't you just want him to help the King of Chu ascend to that position? This venomous woman still doesn't understand the situation and asks him to help the King of Chu? Does she know what she is thinking?
It's better to help the King of Chu than to do it himself, well, that's what I mean.
"You bastard, can you please don't mention him?" Zhen Qing said with shame and anger in her beautiful eyes, biting her red lips with her bright teeth, and gently beating Jia Heng.
She had a picture of this bastard every time he said it.
He had mentioned the prince frequently in her ears just now, and she didn't know what she responded to him in the confusion.
Sensing some subtle reactions from Zhen Qing, Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Then let's stop talking and wipe the sweat from your neck."
He said, passing a handkerchief.
Zhen Qing took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her beautiful neck, put it down, her beautiful eyes reflected the young man's stern and resolute features, and said infatuatedly: "Zi Yu, then don't leave me, okay?"
She really couldn't live without this bastard. Even if she became queen one day, she felt she couldn't live without him.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, but did not speak.
Who can say what will happen in the future?
Seeing this, Zhen Qing snorted, and suddenly moved her moist red lips towards her, only to see Jia Heng duck away.
"You bastard, what are you hiding from?" Zhen Qingyu said in embarrassment, then she realized what she was doing and said sarcastically: "When I was serving you, I didn't find you disgusted either."
Jia Heng looked unnatural, looked around and said, "Qing'er, let's talk about business."
Zhen Qing snorted softly and said: "Okay, let's get down to business. The old lady is afraid that she won't be able to survive this time, so she wants to promise her fourth sister to you."
Jia Heng frowned and said, "Is Mrs. Zhen trying to pull a beauty trick? It's not like she doesn't know that I have a family. Besides, it's useless to do this."
He didn't think Mrs. Zhen would give Zhen Xi to him as his concubine, and he didn't have any thoughts about that little girl.
"What's wrong with having a family?" Zhen Qing put her glowing cheek against Jia Heng's face and sneered, "Before Xianning came to you, didn't you have a family?"
Jia Heng did not go along to mention Xianning, but said: "The Zhen family is also a famous family. I am afraid that if the old lady agrees, your father and the family will not agree."
"Father has nothing to disagree with. My fourth uncle has caused such a big disaster, and I don't know what's going on at home. And what the old lady means is that my fourth sister can just serve you tea and water, or make the bed and fold the quilt."
Zhen Qing said, then fell silent for a moment and said, "This is the fate of girls like us. Fortunately for Xi'er, she can meet you, and it is also her luck."
Jia Heng whispered: "Let me think about it."
Zhen Qing turned her face away, raised her narrow phoenix eyes to look at Jia Heng, and said with a chuckle: "You haven't noticed that sister Xi'er's appearance and character are a bit like sister Xue'er? Don't you really like Xue'er?"
They have four sisters, Lan'er and Xi'er. One looks like her and the other like the second sister in appearance and character, but sister Lan'er has already made a promise to someone else, otherwise he can stay with him for her when she is away.
Jia Heng's face paused and he said: "Let's not talk about her father Zhen Zhu's temperament. Let's just say that Sister Xi'er is so young and has not yet reached the age of many people. If she comes to me as a maid, what will people outside do?
look?"
He really doesn't want to have anything to do with people like Zhen Zhu, and he has accepted the Zhen family's legitimate daughter. Does he want to help them plead for mercy? Although Mrs. Zhen won't say this, she still cannot avoid taking care of her in the future.
Zhen Qing sighed softly and said softly: "Xi'er is actually very pitiful. She is such a confused father and usually doesn't care much about her. Now my fourth uncle has lost such a big person.
Do you think there are still good people willing to marry her? Instead of doing this, I would rather follow you and make amends to you for what happened to my fourth uncle."
Jia Heng muttered: "I can't take her with me. It's not convenient for her to be around me."
There are already enough people around him, and he doesn't want to bring another dragster. Zhen Qing looked at the young man with firm eyebrows and said: "Then put her with me first. If it's inconvenient for me to return to the capital, let her
Serve you."
After saying that, the beauty laughed at herself and said, "I'm just giving you a new taste to save you from getting bored again."
Jia Heng: ""
This poisonous woman was clearly still aggrieved by what she just said.
"Is there a sister like you? Are you pushing one sister after another into the fire pit?" Jia Heng patted the millstone gently and whispered.
"This is how I act as a sister. When I meet good ones, I won't monopolize them. I want to share them with them. Anyway, in your mind, I am a vicious woman who can only take advantage of you. I am far less innocent than Xue'er." Zhen Qing Leng
He said in a loud voice, just talking, but suddenly he felt sad and regretful
He bowed and turned the cricket's head to one side, his beautiful eyes gradually became moist and tears filled his eyelashes.
Is he tired of her majestic princess trying to please him in every possible way?
Even for the prince, she had never served him like he did just now. Even in these years, the prince had been in awe and respect for her. How could he act like this?
She didn't know why, but she seemed to be poisoned by this bastard. When she heard that he had won the battle, she came over to see him immediately, but he said he was tired of it?
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing, wiped the tears from the corner of the beauty's eyes, looked at the rosy face, and said warmly: "Don't be wronged, I know you also have your difficulties, the Zhen family is responsible for the affairs of the clan, but
She has worked so hard for the Zhen family all these years, and she has even been involved in it for the rest of her life." This venomous woman has begun to bow her head, but she probably still won't be able to give up her goal of being the queen. I can only say that Zhen Qing now loves herself.
, I also feel that I can't give him up. I want both of them and can't let go.
Even compared to the illusory goal of the Queen, the importance of being with him should be higher at this moment. As for the King of Chu?
Wait a minute, my husband, who is the King of Chu?
He couldn't suppress Zhen Qing blindly, he still had to give some sweetness. Listening to the young man's considerate words, Zhen Qing's delicate body trembled slightly, and the phoenix eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows seemed to have mist rising, shining brightly, and she said aggrievedly: "Then
You hurt me like that just now! Just stab me in the heart with a knife, I'll make you tired, I'll make you tired! You heartless bastard."
As he said that, he lightly hit Jia Heng with his pink fist.
Jia Heng gently rubbed Zhen Qing's cheek, looked at the tears in the narrow phoenix eyes, and sighed: "I also thought that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain."
"I just want to be in pain." Zhen Qing said, grabbing Jia Heng's hand, looking at the tooth marks, stroking it gently, feeling distressed but also fiercely saying: "Anyway, if you don't want me anymore, let's work together
We will go to hell and be our companions on the road to hell."
Jia Heng didn't say anything more. Even if you go to hell, you can't take me with you. He just said: "I advise you not to be too attached to the Zhen family's affairs."
Zhen Qing has a rather paranoid personality, and it was only thanks to him that he was able to subdue Zhen Qing just now.
Zhen Qing's face was as rose-red as the clouds, she pursed her lips, hugged Jia Heng's neck again, rested her head on Jia Heng's shoulder, and murmured: "Zi Yu, I don't want to worry about family matters anymore.
Let's not separate, okay." It must have been because of family matters. The fourth uncle had betrayed his trust and lost so many troops, which made him angry and blamed her.
"Well." Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said, "The Zhen family is actually not hopeless."
Zhen Qing: "???"
Jia Heng said: "There will always be some affection in the palace in the future. The key is you. You have helped King Chu do too many taboo things over the years. You always act too smart. I'm worried that you will end up badly. Chu
After all, the king is the son of the Holy Emperor, and he may be able to survive in the end. What about you? When the time comes, do you think I will save you or not?"
The king of Chu could at most be imprisoned until death, but Zhen Qing would definitely die if she wore three feet of white silk or drank a glass of poisoned wine.
Hearing this, Zhen Qing had complicated thoughts. She raised her charming jade face as red as clouds, and her sharp and beautiful eyes showed determination, and said: "When the day comes, don't worry, I won't hurt you!"
This is a woman. Just now she wanted to die with Jia Heng, but now she doesn't want to implicate Jia Heng, but the way to not implicate Jia Heng is obviously to separate, but in Zhen Qing's heart, separation cannot be separated. If you dare to separate, then
perish together.
"You're just talking in anger." Jia Heng pinched Zhen Qing's face gently and frowned.
Zhen Qing bit her pink lips, stared at Jia Heng with phoenix eyes, and said softly: "If that day comes, it will be my own fault and it has nothing to do with you."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "Then you want me to watch you die. At that time, it will be you."
At the end of the sentence, he was silent for a moment, put Zhen Qing's hand on his heart, and said in a low voice: "It's you who is stabbing my heart with a knife."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her heart trembled. She looked at the young man's clear face and said in a low voice, "Zi Yu."
He couldn't help but wrap his arms tightly around Jia Heng's neck. They were already hugging each other tightly, and now they wanted to rub themselves into the boy's arms, regardless of each other.
She knew that he also had her in his heart. She and he were a match made in heaven. If she hadn't married the prince, she and he would have been a match.
But why can't he help her? Is it because he still has a grudge against the prince because of what happened in Yuanchun?
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing, leaned into the beauty's ear, and whispered: "Okay, it's useless to think about it now. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. You should be more restrained these days and don't do those taboo things.
Son, Your Majesty is determined to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. For the position of the East Palace, he must choose a worthy man. If the King of Chu is working hard for the country, Your Majesty will not turn a blind eye. What the Han Dynasty needs now is a capable king. I have told you these words, and
Even if you are playing a conspiracy, are you really the supreme opponent in the palace?"
Zhen Qingfeng's eyes flashed, and her thoughts were complicated. Can the prince do it? Without her help, the prince would be the opponent of the King of Qi and the King of Wei?
Why can't this person be the prince? If he is the prince, with his mind and means, it will be a matter of time before he becomes the prince. At that time, she will be the princess. Queen, what is she thinking about?
Under Zhen Qing's curved willow-leaf slender eyebrows, her charming phoenix eyes flashed, and she whispered in Jia Heng's ear: "Zi Yu, love me."
Jia Heng: "???"
This vicious woman, most people really couldn't subjugate her, or in other words, it was him who made her experience the joy of being a woman. After she returned to the capital, she could not say that she respected the King of Chu as much as ice.
A long time passed.
"It's obvious that you're not good enough, so you have to show off your strength." Jia Heng supported Zhen Qing's plump waist and whispered, "It's almost done.
There have been ups and downs along the way.
Zhen Qing said in a trembling voice: "Well, then let me go.
I don’t know why, but I can’t get enough of being with him. Being the queen of my mother’s world probably won’t bring such happiness, right? Well, that’s different, huh, she needs both.
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Qing and returned to the bed again, whispering: "Qing'er." The two of them were gentle and entangled for a while, and Jia Heng said softly: "Okay, this conversation has lasted long enough, don't wait any longer.
If you go down, others should be suspicious."
Following a strange voice, Jia Heng left Zhen Qing, stood up, and straightened his clothes.
Under Zhen Qing's beautiful eyebrows, a pair of cold phoenix eyes looked at Jia Heng angrily. She was about to take the handkerchief, but she saw that the scene was no longer the same as before, but her legs were shaking as she stood up.
Jia Heng came forward to support Zhen Qing and said, "Have a rest, just wash your face later."
He thought to himself, if this continues, there is no guarantee that he and Zhen Qing will have a child.
Although he is gaining strength, it does not mean that it is impossible. If Zhen Qing gets pregnant, it will actually be quite troublesome.
"You bastard." Zhen Qing, with her beautiful face, looked at Jia Heng with shame, unable to stand still.
Jia Heng helped Zhen Qing tidy up her slightly messy dress, held on to the crooked golden hairpin on her bun, and whispered: "I will go to Jinling tomorrow to recruit the soldiers and horses of the Jiangnan camp. You
If my second uncle can fulfill his duties and make some contributions, he may gain some love in the future, but don’t have too high expectations, as it won’t help you.”
In fact, the Zhen family is more like the Jia family without him. Unless there is another one like him, no matter how hard the Zhen family tries, it will be difficult to save the building from falling.
"Have a drink of tea." Jia Heng took the tea cup and handed it to Zhen Qing.
Zhen Qing softly said "Hmm" and looked at the young man lovingly with her phoenix eyes. Her heart was filled with sweetness, affection and tenderness, and she said in a tired voice: "Ziyu, I can't lift my arm, please feed me."
.”
"Are you a child?" Jia Heng said softly, but he also took the tea cup, hugged Zhen Qing in his arms, and handed it to Rose's lips.
It feels like Zhen Qing has started to fall in love after being pulled by him, and the little girl has started to act like a baby. I guess King Chu may never see his wife in this life, and she will be so petty and cute?
Well, his idea is not very good.
Zhen Qing's crystal clear jade face showed Tianran contentment, and her beautiful eyes looked at the young man, saying: "Ziyu, why don't you let Xi'er live with that sister Lin for a few days? I looked at sister Lin.
I feel lonely in Jinling alone."
"Let's talk about it when we get to Jinling." Jia Heng said softly, and suddenly said: "By the way, Xianning may come over after a while, so don't look for me yet."
He is not worried about Xianning, he is worried about Jinyang. During this period, the two demon concubines were making too much noise, and there was always a feeling of being blocked by the real wife. Zhen Qing snorted, obviously not looking for Jia Heng.
He was a little unhappy with his words and said angrily: "Xianning, she is just a little girl. Wherever you go, she will follow you."
Anyway, it’s still a month before we arrive from Shenjing.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, pinched Zhen Qing's pink cheeks, and said, "As a sister-in-law, you are even jealous of your own sister-in-law."
After all the previous troubles, it was obvious that Zhen Qing had reached the stage of passionate love for him. For him, he didn't know whether this was good or bad.
The two of them chatted for a while, but Zhen Qing left first, while Jia Heng tidied up briefly in the study before leaving the study to wash her hands.
Under Chen Xiao's beautiful eyebrows, she looked at Jia Heng with cold eyes and said quietly: "If you don't break up with her, what will happen in the future?"
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said, "You heard it just now. She almost went crazy. Take your time."
If you really want to break it off, you can still break it off. All you have to do is hurt Zhen Qing hard. Of course, he will gain an enemy like "Niu Colu Qing" from now on, who will always oppose him. This is not the correct way to deal with emotional problems.
Chen Xiao said coldly: "It's okay in Jinling. No matter how you hang out together, you won't arouse any suspicion. If you return to the capital and are still so entangled with each other, sooner or later you will be discovered by the King of Chu. How can the King of Chu swallow it at that time?"
This tone?"
"The King of Chu is a smart man." Jia Heng was silent for a moment and whispered. Chen Xiao: ""
Smart people, what do you mean?
Jia Heng's eyes were dark and he whispered: "It may sound a little sad, but Zhen Qing is just a woman, and compared to that chair, she is not important enough."
He felt that even if the King of Chu was aware of it, he would probably not make it public and would instead threaten him.
Otherwise, if he really breaks up, although he will be infamous, the King of Chu will also become the laughing stock of the world and will never be able to hold the position again. Moreover, Zhen Qing herself has a strong temperament, and she has the Zhen family to rely on behind her.
The King of Chu cannot do without Zhen Qing's help, and Zhen Qing is so crazy, so she should be confident that she can deal with the King of Chu.
As for, "King Chu, is it time to drink medicine?"
Although Zhen Qing is kind-hearted, how can she become the queen without the King of Chu? So it is impossible.
Even if that day comes, it will be after King Chu ascends the throne.
Moreover, the relationship between the two couples has not completely broken down. Now it is just a piece of porcelain covered with cobwebs.
Chen Xiao's eyes were dark and he said, "You men are really willing to do whatever it takes to get power."
The same goes for the one in the palace, brothers fighting each other just for that position.
"Farewell to you, I am not." Jia Heng said calmly.
Chen Xiao sneered: "Yes, you are a womanizer."
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I'm going to take a bath first, and later we'll go to Yangzhou Baihusuo."
Chen Xiao looked at the figure who disappeared in the Moon Gate, and frowned. For some reason, he felt a little strange in his heart, and felt that something was missing.
Well, Jia Heng just stopped pinching Chen Xiao's face.
After Jia Heng bathed and changed his clothes, he was already acquainted with Shen You. Because it was a long summer day and the sun had not yet set in the west, he went to Yangzhou Baihu Residence with the retinue of the Jinyi Mansion Guards.
On the other side, Zhen Qing waited until she was ready, especially when her weak legs were no longer weird, and then called Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi sisters to leave Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen.
The beauty was dressed in a scarlet dress, with perhaps the stamens of the flower bearing the dew. Her originally gorgeous and alluring jade face shone brightly, and the charm between her brows and eyes overflowed, gracefully and charmingly. Surrounded by her nuns and female officials, she arrived at the carriage with carved hairpins.
Nearby.
Zhen Lan couldn't help but raise her eyes to take another look at her eldest sister. A hint of suspicion arose in her heart, and she asked delicately: "Sister, where is Brother Heng?"
There were two of us when we went there before, why is there only one sister now?
Zhen Qing smiled and said: "Brother Heng has gone to deal with official duties. We have agreed to go to Jinling to meet the old lady tomorrow."
As she said that, she looked at the only carriage and thought to herself, she should go back with the two girls, don't let them notice any clues.
After getting on the carriage, because they were in the same carriage, Zhen Lan's nose twitched slightly and her eyebrows furrowed. She didn't know if it was because the weather was hot and people were sweating a lot. She always felt that she couldn't tell what the eldest sister's body smelled like.
, but after smelling it for a long time, I feel a little dizzy and my cheeks feel hot.
Zhen Xi didn't notice anything strange. She raised her pretty palm-sized face and asked, "Sister, what did Brother Heng say to Daddy?"
Zhen Qing sighed softly: "My fourth uncle is only afraid that he will not be able to keep his official position. There are no other charges."
When Zhen Xi heard this, her face turned pale and she held her handkerchief.
Zhen Lan asked: "Sister, Brother Heng is in charge of the Jiangnan camp, so he must make personnel adjustments. Can the second uncle still keep his job?"
Zhen Qing said: "This depends on the specific performance of the army during the reorganization. It is estimated that the first wave will be to check the vacancies and capture the soldiers and generals. Although your second uncle has been in the same dust these years, he has not taken any vacancies.
"
The Zhen family is not short of money, but it is short of power. Zhen Qing even told the family before that military power is the most important thing and the generals should not be treated harshly.
Zhen Lan thought for a while and said: "Brother Heng is now in charge of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps. He is probably planning to build a navy and eliminate the water bandits. I heard that the Jurchen prince is still escaping at sea. He may cause some trouble again. Second uncle
He is also a navy general, it would be great if he could follow him and make some achievements."
"Sister Lan'er is really good at military affairs." Zhen Qing said in surprise, then smiled and said: "It seems that I have read many books in my life. It would be great if we have a female general in our family."
Zhen Lan's cheeks were slightly red after being praised by Zhen Qing, and she said softly: "Sister, I usually just flip through books casually, but I don't really understand these things."
The girl rested her head on Zhen Qing's shoulder just like she did when she was a child. However, after a moment, she felt an indescribable breath coming from her eldest sister's beautiful neck.
Zhen Lan frowned, feeling her heart beating wildly. Not to mention that the Zhen sisters returned to the manor in Yangzhou Mansion in a carriage.
Jia Heng, escorted by Liu Jixian, Chen Xiao and other Jinyi Mansion guards, entered the guard office.
At this moment, Nie Hong from the 100 households in Yangzhou, and Shang Ming from the 100 households in Jinyifu North Town, Fu manager, all came out and looked at the young dignitary who had just won a great victory in Haimen, with expressions on their faces.
With excitement, he called out: "Captain."
Jia Heng nodded, walked toward the courtyard, and asked, "How are the prisoner interrogations going at the recent guardhouse?"
Shang Ming said: "The cases of smuggling to the Jurchens by sea over the years confessed by the Cheng and Ma families have been successively investigated. The Bao and Huang families have also been involved in the case and have begun to confess one after another."
As he said that, he took out a booklet from the hands of a general bannerman who was accompanying him, held it in his hand and said: "A brief summary, please take a look at it.
Jia Heng took the book and went to the official hall, sat down and started reading.
The eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, Cheng Peili, Ma Xianjun, Bao Zuhui, and Huang Cheng, were all involved in the case. Only four of them were involved in the case in varying degrees, but the evidence of colluding with the Donglu was conclusive.
Jia Heng nodded, placed the booklet on the small table aside, and asked, "Where is Liu Shengzao, the transshipment envoy of the Huaihe River, have you found any new useful clues in the past few days?"
Shang Ming looked troubled and said: "My lord, Liu Shengzao's confession was recorded by his humble rank, but the matter involves the palace, so I dare not continue the torture and interrogation. I still ask the governor to make a decision."
Liu Shengzao entered the torture room of Jinyi Mansion. In order to prevent himself from suffering more, he started by saying that he was working for Chonghua Palace. The so-called Salt Transport Department's deficit did not exist at all, and then shocked these Jinyi captains.
Because the Jinyi Mansion only handles affairs for the palace, since the matter involves the eunuch in charge of the palace and the Supreme Emperor of the Chonghua Palace, it is not easy to torture him.
"Oh." Jia Heng frowned, already guessing the whole story in his mind. Just how much dirty water did Liu Shengzao throw at Chonghua Palace, and how much of his own corruption sins did he hide? We still need to ask, and only he has the knowledge.
Eligibility Inquiries.
Jia Heng's face was like water and he said, "I'll ask you personally."
Entering the torture room on the west side of the official hall, he sat down behind the case. While looking at the latest report, he ordered: "Go and bring the person here." Not long after, Liu Shengzao was brought over. He was dressed in prison uniform and had long hair.
He was in good spirits because he had not been tortured. He entered the official hall. The two warriors in golden clothes following behind him pressed Liu Shengzao's shoulders and shouted: "Kneel down!"
Liu Shengzao knelt down, with an angry look on his face, looked at the young dignitary sitting behind the handsome case, and sneered: "Jia Heng, my son, when I accompanied the emperor on a tour of Yangzhou, you were not even born yet."
"Insolent!" Shang Ming, who was watching from the side, yelled angrily.
Jia Heng looked at Liu Shengzao with cold eyes and said solemnly: "Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
Liu Shengzao sneered and said: "I have been in charge of the Salt Transportation Department for more than ten years. I have seen countless feudal officials, princes and nobles. Who are you, Jia Heng, a kid? I might as well tell you that the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department will meet every year
Send the remaining silver to Chonghua Palace through Eunuch Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the capital. If you want to check the Salt Transportation Department's deficit, just go and check it!"
Although the Supreme Emperor retired to seclusion in Chonghua Palace, he was an emperor who had ruled the world for decades. He did not believe that this kid really wanted to smear the Supreme Emperor's face in his twilight years.
Jia Heng looked at Shang Ming on the side and said coldly: "Apart from sending these to the palace, you have also been greedy a lot, right? How much have you been greedy over the years? If you bring it in truthfully, I can still plead with the Holy One to spare you.
If you continue to blame the emperor for your fate, not only your wealth and life, but also your three clans will be killed!"
Looking at the fearless young man, Liu Shengzao was slightly frightened. Jia Heng shouted: "Let him be punished first, torture him severely." Jinyi Mansion interrogated the prisoner, how could he not be punished?
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
