Jiao Da glanced at Xie Kun with contempt.

"Xie Kun, you know who I'm talking about."

"Are you talking about Jia Min? Hahaha, he's nothing now, people don't know where he went, what can he do to me? Joke. ”

Jiao Da slowly stood up, shook twice, and finally stood firm.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he pounced like Xie Kun.

Xie Kun lifted his foot and kicked Jiao Da away.

Zhang Wen next to him pulled out a knife and stabbed Jiao Da in the chest with a single sword.

"Ning Guogong, Jiao Da is here, and he will lead the horse for you again."

Jiao shouted, shrank back, and pulled his body out of Zhang Wen's knife. He fell with his head up, his body twitched a few times, and he never moved again.

"This dog minion is really stubborn."

Zhang Wen said hatefully.

"Why did you kill him?"

"This, the lowly duty is to protect the adults."

"He is a man who is going to die, how can he bear me?"

"It's ...... to protect adults from humble duty."

"That's it, that's it, pour him some wine, and throw him into the moat. I'm going to report to the emperor. ”

"Humble duty understands."

Xie Kun got out of prison and rode his horse down the street. It didn't take long to come to the Jinshui Bridge in front of the Forbidden City.

"You guys go back first, you don't have to wait for me here, come here to pick me up at noon."

The four attendants said yes and left together.

Every time the guerrilla adults enter the palace, it is like this, they are used to it.

Seeing that a few of his entourage were gone, Xie Kun rode his horse and galloped towards West Chang'an Street.

He did not enter the palace, but came to the door of a deep mansion compound.

A few big characters on the forehead of the door are impressive: Dongping Palace.

"Thank you, please, the prince has been waiting for a long time."

A housekeeper came out of the flower hall and led Xie Kun to the living room.

"Xie Guerrilla, wait a moment, I'll go and report it."

After a while, Song Kuan, the prince of Dongping, came out.

"Brother Xie came at the right time, I thought it was almost there, and sure enough, I came."

"I've kept the prince waiting."

"Where is it, Xie Guerrilla is a distinguished guest, and now he is a man of the hour in the imperial capital, and so on."

"The prince must not say that, if there is no King Dongping, Xie would not be where he is today."

"Father didn't see the wrong person in the end, Brother Xie is really a person with affection."

"The prince is as kind as a mountain to his humble duties, and he does not dare to forget them."

"Well, you just remember. How is the matter of Jiaoda? ”

"Jiao Da is dead."

"Dead?"

So Xie Kun told what had happened.

"It's all a lowly job. I also ask the prince to punish him. ”

"Alas, forget it, forget it if you're dead. Maybe Qin Keqing was really just Qin Ye who was raised from the Rong Nursing Home. ”

"Why don't you go and check it out?"

"Don't worry about it for now, don't startle the snake. Now Jia Lian and others are back. They were all brought out by Jia Min, and they should not be underestimated. I will make a decision on this matter after I report it to my father. Anyway, Qin Keqing couldn't run, and he wasn't in a hurry. But those people, you have to pay more attention, and if you have any handle, you will catch them to the death. ”

"Now the King of Beijing lives in a simple place, except for the last dynasty, I don't see anyone to move with."

"Scholar Ji is just busy with Hanyu Pinyin every day, and there is nothing unusual about it."

"It's just that Liu Changfeng and Xiu Tonggui have more contacts. It seems that they are just eating and drinking together, and there is no abnormal behavior. ”

"Okay, just pay more attention to it, watch the tea."

"Humble resignation."

Xie Kun came out of the Dongping Palace, and when he saw that it was still early, he went to Fengyue Street in Dajinmen.

There was nothing to do with the investigation of Jiafu, I thought that the prince would blame himself, but I didn't expect the prince to care about it. I can't help but have a good impression of Song Kuan again.

Although he didn't know why the prince suddenly asked him to do this, and he didn't think that Qin Keqing from Ning Guofu would be the county lord of Prince Sincerity, but the prince asked him to do it, and he had no choice.

He knew that Song Kuan was dealing with him on behalf of King Dongping, so he couldn't refuse Song Kuan's request.

Soon, Xie Kun arrived at Yuhua Tower, where he wanted to relax well.

The atmosphere in the living room of Dongping Wangfu was also very relaxed at this time.

After Xie Kun left, Li Qian and Han Qi came out of the inner room, and the three of them were drinking tea at this time.

"Brother Song, why is the prince eyeing the Jia family at this time?"

Li Qian was a little puzzled.

"Yes, even if Qin Keqing is the daughter of Prince Chengyi, twenty years have passed since this matter, I'm afraid she doesn't even know about it, besides, what's the use of a daughter of a deposed king?"

"Qin Keqing is of course useless, if this matter is confirmed, isn't the Jia family harboring the daughter of the Qin criminal? In this way, if you want to attack the Jia family, don't you have an excuse? ”

"The Jia family has always been loyal to the royal family, and Jia Min saved the prince and princess, so if you do this, you are not afraid of the shame of the world?"

"Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, for the position of the great treasure, it is not uncommon for fathers, sons and brothers to kill each other, not to mention a family of relatives."

"Yes, several of us have also made great contributions at the beginning, and over the years, haven't they been wary of us all the time? Brother Song, the crown prince, is thin and cold by nature. Jia Min rescued him, not only did he not appreciate it, but he did it behind his back, I think it is better to be careful in this matter. ”

"Brother Li, when you talk about Jia Min, I think of it, where is Jia Min now?"

Song Kuan suddenly became interested in Jia Min again.

"It is said that now that I have come to the north to do business, it seems that I want to be a rich idler."

"Alas, it's a pity that this son can't be used by me, but it's a pity."

"This person is a maverick, he does have some skills, he has some experience in training and fighting, fortunately the emperor got rid of him for us, otherwise, he will become a big trouble for us in the future."

Jia Min is no longer worried, neither the emperor nor the crown prince wants to see him. Otherwise, he would not have been asked to be the deputy head of the Zongren Mansion in the first place. ”

"I didn't expect it to be cheaper."

"Not necessarily, Jia Min is used to taking the sword sideways, if he really becomes the deputy head of the Zongren Mansion and makes some achievements, it is unknown. At the beginning, everyone regarded Bu Kui as a daunting path, but when he went, didn't he make a fortune? Now that he is far away from the temple, it is the most beneficial ending for us. ”

"That's right, when I think of the strength of his army of government, I feel uneasy. In the end, it was abolished, so that people can sit back and relax. ”

"Brother Han, how is King Jin's side?"

"Now it's quite close to the northwest, and it seems to be quite warm with Zhou Guifei inside."

"Brother Li, where is the King of Chu?"

"It seems that I have more contact with Zhili, and on the ninth day of the new year, I also went to Zhili in disguise. It seems that he is also a little out of breath. ”

"These two people are not convinced by the prince, and now that the emperor is sick, his mind seems to be a little lively. Keep an eye on it. In addition, Brother Li, over there in Chang'an, you should also be careful. ”

"Brother Song, Chang'an doesn't need it, right? After all, she is a woman. ”

"Female? Wu Zetian is still a woman, how many people can compare? Now the crown prince, the king of Jin, and the king of Chu are all ambitious, ambitious and talented, but His Royal Highness Chang'an has some real skills. In the first battle of North Wendula, the army was crushed for thousands of miles, but she fought quite well, and the emperor loved her in every way, so she must not be underestimated. ”

"Brother Song, I'll just pay more attention."

"Okay, let's go to the East Palace, so that the prince won't be in a hurry, and he will go and speak carefully."

"Brother Song, don't worry, I'll pay attention."

Two days later, a corpse was found in the moat, looking to be about sixty or seventy years old, with a jar of wine hanging from it, which appeared to have fallen into the water and drowned.

However, the wounds on the deceased's body attracted people's attention, so they reported it to the Dongcheng Terracotta Division.

The Dongcheng Terracotta Division posted a notice to identify the body, and Ning Guofu found that Jiao Da was missing, so he sent the housekeeper Li Hua to take a look.

Li Hua saw that it was Jiao Da, and he took back the corpse. When he returned, he was buried.

However, the wounds on Jiao Da's body left a suspense for Jiafu.

dared to kill the people in Jia's mansion, and Jiao Da was the one who saved Ning Guogong, so this matter naturally caused some discussions.

Liu Changfeng, the commander of the Nine Gates, ordered an investigation into the matter, and the old lady of Jiafu also asked Jia Lian to investigate the matter, so as to give an explanation to the Jiao family.

If Jiao Daruo died in an unknown way, it would also be a damage to the dignity of Jiafu.

Three days later, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun met in a tavern on the street of the Provincial Relatives Courtyard.

This tavern is the property of Jia Qiang and Jia Yun's partnership, and it operates dishes with Tatar flavors, among which roast lamb shank and lamb scorpion are the most famous signature dishes, attracting many diners to come and taste them.

The project of the Provincial Parent Hospital is currently progressing smoothly. Because the shops on the street were the first to be built, they have long been sold out, and almost all of them have already opened.

At this time, the store was closed, and there were only three people: Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun.

"Second Uncle Lian, it has been found out, the last person Jiao Da saw was Zhang Cai."

Jia Qiang said.

"Zhang Cai? Zhang Cai, the housekeeper in our house? ”

"It was him, that day, when he met Jiao Da on the street, he had to find Jiao Da to eat wine, according to Xiao Er of Xianyuan Restaurant, it was Zhang Cai who dragged Jiao Da to eat wine."

Jia Yun added.

"There is another thing, which is also quite suspicious. In the past few years, Zhang Cai has met with a person at Xianyuan Restaurant every seven days, and yesterday, it was the day of meeting with that person, and we followed the person, and the person finally entered the big black door. ”

"Are you sure you're in the dark?"

"Yes, after that person went in, he stayed in it for more than an hour, and he didn't come out until the time of the closing office, and he talked and laughed with some people, obviously very familiar, and he should be a colleague."

Daheimun Gate is the popular name of the people of the imperial capital, and it is the Yamen of the Jinyi Army.

Zhang Cai met regularly with the people of the Jinyi Army, and for Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun, who already had rich military experience, they knew almost immediately what this meant.

"The Jinyi Army is too much, and they actually planted spies in our house."

Jia Qiang said indignantly.

In this way, Jiao Da's death seems to be related to the Jinyi Army. Jiao Da is just a minion, why did they find him? ”

"It's useless for us to speculate here, let's go."

"Second Uncle Lian, where are you going?"

"Take Zhang Cai down secretly!"

Saying that, Jia Lian took the lead in going out, and Jia Qiang and Jia Yun followed closely.
