But it was said that Liu Tong had imprisoned all Lin Hai and Su Zheng, and Jia Huan went to Qin Sangu to inquire about the news. Reading at midnight, he was not responsible for such intrigues in the past. He just picked up the missing pieces and didn't know what to do for a moment.
What to say, I could only pretend to be pitiful to Qin Sangu: "Everyone in our family who can make decisions has gone to the south. Even my sisters have left. There is no one in the whole family who can discuss it. We have to guard against our ancestors, Baoyu
My brother and my father are causing trouble. Third aunt and sister, I’m almost confused, please give me some advice.”
Qin Sangu has been accustomed to chatting and bickering with Jia Cong over the years. Jia Cong is very creative, so she is eager to hear what Jia Huan will say; not wanting him to ask her in turn, she is stunned.
Jia Huan simply pulled her sleeves and acted coquettishly.
Qin Sangu couldn't laugh or cry. She also knew that he was more honest. She thought for a moment and said: "I heard that the good king and Mr. Lin have a close personal relationship. I don't think he will sit idly by."
What Jia Huan wanted was what she said. Hearing this, he slapped his forehead: "That's right! There is also a wise king. I have forgotten about him. Then I don't need to worry about this matter. He is here anyway. I
I'm asking about sending food and clothes." He stood up and saluted Qin Sangu, then turned around and took two steps back, "Sister Sangu, do you know where my two gentlemen are being held?"
Qin Sangu glanced at him and said, "Are you scared and confused? Eight adults have been imprisoned this time. Even I know they must be in imperial prison. Otherwise, how can they be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Jia Huan shrank his neck and completely gave up the thought of breaking into the prison. Imprisonment was not something that a few green forest heroes had the ability to do. He only hoped that the guards knew that these adults were not brought in by the emperor and could let them out at any time. Mo
You have to treat them too harshly.
Seeing that he was getting ready to go back to prepare food and clothes, Qin Sangu asked, "Are you still going to the Xian Prince's Mansion?"
Jia Huan waved his hand and said: "I won't go. I have no relationship with the wise king. I only went with Cong'er to have dinner twice. Besides, he will naturally save my husband. He will save people whether I go or not." After that,
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and saw Heizi, and hurriedly approached him.
Heizi was just a year and a half old puppy back then, but now he is an old dog, and he still recognizes Jia Huan. Jia Huan stroked its head and sighed: "No wonder Cong'er refuses to keep dogs, they are better than us."
Life is short.”
Qin Sangu also squatted down and quietly touched Heizi's back from head to head, refusing to speak.
At that moment, Jia Huan went out and stood on the riverside, thinking quietly for a moment, hesitating whether he should write a letter and send it to the south immediately. If he had written it, Jia Cong's impatience and Jarvis's loyalty would surely be lost.
The things on the other side came over. But it would be useless if they came, and they would make Lin Daiyu anxious, and if not Qi Jia Cong would cause trouble. It would be better to wait for the wise king to take action. If you don't write, look at today
With Heizi's appearance, Jia Cong was afraid that he would miss the last one. Jia Cong loved Heizi as much as Qin Sangu. After thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to write it.
He then hurried back to his hometown and wrote down all the recent events in Beijing, except that among the eight adults who were imprisoned, Lin Hai and Su Zheng were excluded. He also added that Heizi was almost too old to walk, so he asked Jia Cong and Jia Wei
Si came to see Heizi for the last time, and sent someone pretending to be a commoner fleeing the capital to send him out. After that, he rushed to the Lin Mansion to comfort Mrs. Su, Su Cheng and his grandson, and discussed with Yang Heng Ge Qiao about sending clothes and food.
When they arrived at the imperial prison, they found that although the two old men were disgraced, they were still in good spirits. They scolded people vigorously and made allusions to ancient and modern times. They both lived in single rooms. Lin Hai also wrote two poems to ask him to go back.
After copying it, I feel more at ease. I think everything is still under the control of the wise king.
Only five days after Jia Huan calmed down, something happened again in the court. Liu Tong killed two censors who contradicted and insulted him. One of them was beheaded on the spot, and the other was dragged out of the Daming Palace and beheaded. The court and the public were in an uproar.
Two days later, he killed three more ministers, and this time two of them were bachelors of the Hanlin Academy. For a time, the streets were full of poems and essays written by literati. Jia Huan looked at it and couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed to Ge Qiao:
"In the past, Cong'er often said, if cursing people is useful, what else would you do with swords and arrows? I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand."
In the next few days, Liu Tong killed more and more people, his rank became higher and higher, and more and more people were crowned in the court. Only then did Jia Zheng understand that it is better to be without an official than to be an official, and those without an official are not.
He will die, and becomes more and more attracted to Hui Niang.
One day, someone who was following Hui Niang discovered that she had secretly poured contraceptive pills into a flower pot and hurriedly gave it back to Luo Tai Niang. Tai Niang said to her with a smile: "I will only tell you two things. Head of the Rongguo Mansion
The one who has the final say is Mr. Cong, the second is Mr. Huan, and the third is the big boss. The second boss has no weight at all."
Hui Niang hung her head for a long time and murmured in a low voice: "The master said that Mr. Huan strongly approves of me and says that I am blessed."
Luo Tainiang said: "You were sent by him. Naturally, he will agree with you in front of the second master and sing operas with you for the second master. But if you want to raise a younger brother for him, although he doesn't mind, Aunt Zhao will definitely mind."
At that time, do you think he will keep you to save trouble, or will he kill you to keep Turgen quiet and not let Aunt Zhao nag him all day long? We are running a brothel, and we lack nothing.
woman."
Hui Niang was stunned.
"Haosheng is doing an errand for the third master. He will let you out one day. You can pretend to be a widow with money and marry a good family and be a decent wife. You won't lose your life." Luo Tainiang said and left.
Hui Niang shouted from behind: "I will definitely miss you!"
Luo Tainiang paused for a moment, then looked back and smiled: "I just said, a brothel owner needs women for everything. Think about it for yourself, will it be difficult to find a woman who is younger and more beautiful than you? The second master just likes you for nothing.
You are younger and more beautiful than his wife and two aunts." Then he turned around and said, "I chose you that day because you are quite smart and interesting, but I didn't expect you to have such thoughts. Sure enough, one moment and another moment.
If you don't want to do it, that's fine, I'll arrange for a replacement. Qiaoyue is also smart."
Hui Niang hurriedly took a few steps to catch up and grabbed Luo Tai Niang's sleeve: "I'll do it, I'll do it! I understand! I will never have any inappropriate thoughts again!"
Luo Tainiang glanced at her sideways: "Seriously?"
Hui Niang nodded repeatedly: "Seriously! I was fascinated by Master Rang's gentleness these days! Now that I have woken up, I was running errands for Third Master Huan."
Luo Tainiang said sternly: "That's all, I'm letting you go this time not because it's your first offense, but because I'm really too busy at the moment and don't want to put more effort into arranging this matter. If I see you showing signs of dishonesty again, it's a coincidence.
Yue, Qiangwei, and Jin'er are all capable of defeating you; and the second master is an excellent deceiver."
Hui Niang nodded repeatedly and swore, even swearing for the rest of her life, so that Luo Tai Niang could let her go.
But he didn't dare to hide it, so he quietly returned it to Jia Huan that day. Jia Huan frowned when he heard this and said, "It's inevitable for people to be confused. This time, that's all."
Luo Tainiang smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I want to be lazy; with the way Beijing is like these days, I am really busy."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Tai Niang. I will give you a big red envelope at the end of the year."
Luo Tainiang was very happy to him.
Someone quickly spread the news about the incident in Beijing to Tianjin, and Gan Lei stepped up the siege. Unexpectedly, Cao Datong ordered someone to shoot a sleeve with a rattling arrow, which was what the saint was wearing when he was captured! Gan Lei was so frightened that he could not help but
I dare to push too hard. Liu Dengxi's father-in-law had already left Beijing and was living in Ganlei camp. He ordered the spies to search Tianjin city day and night. They almost fled to the sky and escaped, but they couldn't find where the saint was hidden. For the time being, the Royal Forest Army was
Can't count on it.
The Minister of Rites and the two ministers were both imprisoned, and Liu Tong killed several more officials. The remaining officials could not bear the knife on their necks and began to organize the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.
Jia Huan was still counting his fingers to figure out when the wise king would be able to rescue his husband. Jia Huan and Jarvis had already returned to Beijing immediately.
The capital is restricted these days, and no one is allowed to enter the capital. Therefore, the two of them did not go through the city gate, but entered the mansion in the south of the city through the tunnel, and even brought the horses in. Then they changed their clothes and brushed their clothes.
Ma, disguised as an ordinary boy and went to the Taiping Escort Bureau.
The two of them entered the door and ran straight to the study. Gong Sanyi was leisurely reading a book. When he heard that they were coming, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Do you two like that dog so much?"
Jia Cong sat down on the chair opposite him and said: "We are all here, let's tell the truth. Is something wrong with Mr. Lin?"
Gong San also raised his eyebrows: "Why do you see that?"
Jia Cong said: "It's true that I am willing to go to the capital for Heizi. Why does Brother Huan want Brother Yaoer to take him? Even if he likes Heizi, he will not give up all the big things for Heizi. I'm just afraid of those eight people.
Among the adults who were imprisoned was Uncle Lin. He was afraid that Sister Lin was too anxious to write it down."
Gong San also nodded and said: "Su Zheng is in the cell not far from him."
Jia Cong frowned and said, "What is Situ Pan doing? There is no bathing or sunbathing in the prison, and good people will get moldy if they go in. Finally, the old man's body and bones have improved over the years."
Gong Sanyi stared at him speechlessly and said: "Huan'er thought that Liu Tong was not Situ Pan's person, but I think so. The few high-ranking officials he killed were all close confidants of the saint, and the remaining low-ranking officials were all.
There are a few old censors who cover up their appearance and are pedantic. No one who is the emperor will like it, so they take the opportunity to destroy everything. Anyway, there are not many people in the court who are single-minded saints. The most important ones are either
They belong to the old saint - the old saint is dead; or they were conquered by his two brothers together. Lin Hai is like this. Once the saint dies, all these people can be used by Situ Pan. He also specially avoided the kings.
Man, in order not to offend his brothers for the time being, so that they can continue to watch the fun, he can arrange it carefully."
Jia Cong said: "There are still several groups of people outside the city. It seems that there are many of them, and the camps are stretching to the sky."
Gong San also smiled and said, "If they didn't come to join in the fun, wouldn't Situ Pan be very lonely?"
Jia Cong rubbed his temples and sighed: "Since it's useless for a while, let's take a break for now."
The two of them washed up and went to sleep.
But at this moment, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old came to the door of Rongguo Mansion, pushing a cart of vegetables and asking to see Jia Huan. The gatekeeper did not dare to let people in because he had been ordered to do so. The young man stamped his feet and begged.
After watching him for a long time, he said: "Tell Mr. Jia that my name is Shi Qiusheng and that I sent him scones that year. He will definitely remember it! I really have something important to tell him!"
The disciple said: "The third master is not here right now, how can I dare to let you in?"
Shi Qiusheng squatted at the door and waited all day. No matter how the door tried to drive him out, he could not be driven away.
Jia Huan didn't come back until the afternoon. Shi Qiusheng saw him from a distance and stepped forward and shouted: "Master Jia, do you still recognize me? I am Shi Qiusheng! When you passed by our house that day, your senior brother helped our family."
Five taels of silver and five hundred coins, do you remember?" Seeing Jia Huan's confused look, he quickly took out a scone from his arms and shook it.
Jia Huan went out several times today to inquire about news. He had just spent half a day trying to comfort Mrs. Su and the little ancestor Su Cheng. He was very tired. Therefore, he did not listen to what Shi Qiusheng said at first and was stunned.
I stared at him with my eyes wide open. When I saw the scones, I immediately remembered: "Oh, scones! Cold ones are not as delicious as hot ones!"
Shi Qiusheng nodded repeatedly: "That's right! It's the family that makes scones!"
Jia Huan jumped off his horse and said, "Why are you here? Aren't you not allowed to enter the city now?"
Shi Qiusheng immediately blushed, lowered his head and said: "I... I tricked an uncle who was delivering food that my father was seriously ill in the city, and he asked me to help deliver the food. I was afraid that I would miss the third master's return home, so I didn't go.
…”
Jia Huan smiled and said, "No problem, I'll send someone to deliver it to you." Then he turned around and ordered a boy to help him deliver the food.
The boy was stunned: "Third Master, do you want me to help him deliver food?"
Jia Huan said: "Go if you are told."
The boy muttered a few times and glanced at Shi Qiusheng. Shi Qiusheng was so frightened that he hurriedly hid aside.
Jia Huan said again: "Where to send it? Tell him."
Shi Qiusheng told the address, and the boy went to push the cart of vegetables with a look of displeasure on his face, but he couldn't push it at all! Jia Huan laughed and said, "How? Delivering vegetables is not easy." Then he called two more people to help and gave instructions.
He said, "Just say that I hit the boy who was delivering food on my horse, and I ordered you to help deliver the food." The person below agreed a few times, then turned around and waved to Shi Qiusheng, asking him to follow him into the house.
Shi Qiusheng lowered his head and followed in without saying a word.
Jia Huan led him straight to Baoyu's outer study room, which was no longer used. Only a few women cleaned it every day. He was then brought some tea and snacks, and kept watch from a distance. Fang said, "Let's
Although we have only met twice, I also know that you are an honest person and would not take such a big risk to come to Beijing for no reason. But what is the important matter?"
Shi Qiusheng said hurriedly: "Third Master! Many military masters came to our village a few days ago, and there were many mountains. There were no military flags! My grandfather said that this was extremely strange. He had never seen a military master not fight.
We didn’t dare go over to inquire about the banner. Because we heard that the emperor was captured by bad guys, and many people fled from the capital, my grandfather was worried that something happened to the noble man, so he specially ordered me to come and report the news."
Jia Huan was shocked: "How many hills?!"
Shi Qiusheng nodded repeatedly and explained it in detail.
Jia Huan walked around the room several times with his hands behind his back. His scalp ached from thinking about it. He muttered, "What kind of effort should I put in? Isn't there Mr. Gong?" Then he asked Shi Qiusheng, "What's the difference between the uncle who delivers the food?"
Do you want to pay him back?"
Shi Qiusheng nodded timidly: "There is also a car. I should have left the city to pay him back the money and car."
Jia Huan said: "No problem. Since he is willing to let you come to the city to see your fake father, it shows that he is kind-hearted and will not care about it." Then he asked him the address of the uncle who delivered food, and called a smart talker.
The boy came and gave him a one-tael silver dime, a five-tael silver ingot and three hundred coins, and ordered, "Don't take any money or belongings with you, just take these when you go out. Go to the city gate and tell him
The soldier guarding the gate said that your young master on horseback kicked and injured a boy who was delivering food, and ordered you to deliver a message and money for food to their house. Because you know that it is easy to go out through the city gate and difficult to come in, you will give the three hundred money.
Use it to bribe the gatekeeper, just say that the one tael is for food, and the five tael is for me to pay for their family's injury. Then you can give him whatever money he wants, and the rest will be given to the food delivery person.
People."
The boy smiled and said, "He designated the five taels."
Jia Huan also smiled and said: "The five taels were originally given to him. Since he took five taels, why should he offend the young master of the family and take all the remaining one tael of silver and three hundred coins to embarrass the young master?"
Suddenly the boy pulled the horse and ran away. Jia Huan ordered people to take Shi Qiusheng down to rest. He sighed "I am destined to work hard", jumped on the horse and went to the Taiping Escort Bureau.
Yao'er had woken up at this moment, while Jia Cong was still sleeping soundly. Jia Huan came over and saw Yao'er grabbing him, and said happily: "I knew brother Yao'er would come!"
Yao'er smiled and stroked his head: "It's hard for you, I've been busy all alone these days." So he went in to wake up Jia Cong, invited Jia Si over, and they all went to Gong Sanyi's study together.
.
Jia Huan and others first recounted the chaos in Beijing these days from the beginning, and then told the story of Shi Qiusheng coming to report. But Shi Qiusheng was just an ordinary mountain boy who did not dare to go near the barracks. The barracks had no flags, so there was no sign of it.
I don't know who they are from.
Gong San also thought for a long time after listening to this, and said: "From what he said, there are about 70,000 to 80,000 people. Liu Tong's idea of troops and horses is not enough."
Yao'er said: "The trouble is that I don't know whose family it belongs to, and it can cause chaos."
Jia Cong held his head and thought for a long time, and suddenly he jumped up with a "Oh!": "Has Brother Liu come back?"
Jia Huan said: "I came back a long time ago and brought a lot of good things back. They are in Panlong Mountain."
Jia Cong shouted: "Move all his people into the capital quickly!"
"what?"
"Attack the imperial prison at night!" Jia Cong gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, the lives of the two gentlemen will not be saved!"
