Chapter 306: Captivity (Subscription Requested)
At the beginning of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, the eldest lord had to sit in charge himself and be busy, and after the officials of the Ministry of Industry were familiar with the new rules, the eldest lord could spare more free time.
With free time, the eldest master is ready to deal with Jia Zhen's affairs.
This guy is really not worry-free, he has avoided trouble and gone to Jinling, and he has the courage to participate in the struggle for the throne, and he doesn't know how to write dead words.
The eldest lord has never broken contact with the clansmen in Jinling.
It's not that the eldest lord takes the initiative to contact the other party, but the Jinling clan wants to tie up the thighs like the eldest lord, and with the promotion of the eldest lord to the Ministry of Works, the Jia clan people in Jinling are more enthusiastic.
Letters come and go frequently, and there is naturally news of Jia Zhen, which is really a lot.
After this guy arrived in Jinling, like a wild horse that had taken off the leash, all kinds of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling were full of tricks, and he was rampant in Jinling with a group of clan gentlemen, and his life was not happy or happy.
Jia Zhen's third-class mighty general title is not a fart in the capital, but it is a great existence in Jinling, which makes this guy shake a lot of prestige and win over many sons and daughters of wealthy merchant families.
Then, this guy's confidence swelled, and he somehow hooked up with the family of Yizhong County King, as one of the main forces providing money, he was quite valued by Yizhong County King.
Of course, these are all the news revealed in Jia Zhen's recent letter to the eldest master.
This guy was fooled by the letter forged by the old lady, and he really thought that the eldest lord had completely taken refuge in the king of Yizhong County, and he was excited to send several secret letters one after another, saying a lot of secret information.
In order to be brilliant under the king of Yizhong County, this guy is really willing to spend his blood, and directly spent a million taels of silver for more than a year, which is simply an out-and-out boy with scattered wealth.
As for where the silver came from, didn't you get it from the people of the Jia clan in Jinling?
For the sake of this, Jia Zhen has a very unpleasant relationship with the old family in power of the Jia clan in Jinling, and the eldest lord has received many letters of complaint from the elders of the Jinling clan in the past year.
Jia Zhen's house, using the identity of the patriarch to pit many clansmen, attracted some of the clansmen who were greedy for wealth and glory, and suddenly became rich because of the merchants in the sea, and all of them took refuge in the king of Yizhong County.
But that's it!
Jia Zhen, the patriarch, has no deterrent power, and in the face of the clansmen who have become rich in Jinling by relying on overseas business, his patriarch is just a name.
At least, there are few elders of the Jinling clan who buy face, and the eldest lord can guess the clue from the letters written by these clan elders.
It's okay like this, if Jia Zhen pulls all the people of the entire Jinling Jifang clan into the water, and when the king of Yizhong County is defeated and flees, I am afraid that the Jia clan will hit the territory hard.
It's not that the eldest lord can't bear it, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, these clansmen who have lost their family background will be pasted like dog skin plasters, which is something that the eldest lord is not happy to see.
In the letter to the eldest lord, Jia Zhen vaguely revealed the idea of returning to Beijing, obviously the splendid wealth of Jinling is no longer very attractive to him.
How is this possible?
The eldest lord will never agree, with the absurdity of this guy, after returning to the capital, he has the support of the king of Yizhong County, and he can also borrow the power of the eldest lord, who knows what this guy will do?
Not to mention anything else, Jia Rong, who is doing well in Tongzhou Prefecture, will be greatly affected, and it will even affect his quite good career.
and Qin Keqing, I heard that the relationship with Jia Rong has been good recently, if Jia Zhen returns to Beijing and has the previous black history, who knows what will happen to this young couple?
I'm afraid that only the old lady will welcome him back, Jia Zhen's temperament is very good, maybe she has an extra good card in her hand that can be used.
Don't doubt the old lady's means, isn't it like playing to rectify such an old gentleman as Jia Zhen?
How can the old lady be given another chance to play?
Jia Zhen is still thousands of miles away, and the old lady flickered him with a letter, and at the same time pushed the big house into the fire pit, if Jia Zhen lived in Ning Mansion, what would it be?
There are many ways to deal with Jia Zhen, but if you want to solve the trouble once and for all, then it is best to let this guy disappear.
There is no need to be so domineering as killing people and destroying mouths, there are other more effective methods, after all, he is finally the head of a clan, even if he suddenly hangs up, there will be chaos.
A letter was sent to the old man of the Jinling clan, and within half a month, the patriarch Jia Zhen was invited to board the ship of the Jia clan and disappeared directly to the sea.
At the time of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest man took the opportunity to go out of the city to inspect the construction site, and first went to Xuanzhen outside the city to see Jia Jing.
"The affairs of the clan are at your disposal, as long as there are no leaks!"
Jia Jing's attitude was quite indifferent, and he directly said that as long as he didn't kill people, he would do it, and as for Jia Zhen's uneasy things, there was no need to tell him.
After saying this, he also warmly introduced the method of Wai Dan to the eldest master, saying that he had already eaten the experience and eaten out of the doorway, and wanted to ask the eldest master if he wanted to enjoy it together.
Enjoy the hair!
Holding the so-called pill presented by Jia Jing, with the medical knowledge of the old man, through the fragrant medicinal fragrance, you can easily smell some of the main ingredients in the pill in your hand.
Not only does it contain lead and mercury, but it is also the kind that is seriously out of the limit, but it does not mean that this thing is necessarily harmful.
It is not easy to perfectly combine the two toxic elements of lead and mercury with medicinal stones, and make the medicine fragrant, but it is not easy to smell the qi and blood in the body of the old man as if he was stimulated, and suddenly accelerated the flow rate a little, and he knew that this thing still had some effect.
The Daomen's Wai Dan technique cannot be said to be ineffective, but a pseudo-Taoist priest like Jia Jing wants to rely on the Wai Dan to practice fame.
If your own kung fu is not in place, and you rashly enjoy the results of Waidan, it is very likely that you will have symptoms of pill poisoning.
Pack the porcelain bottle of the pill medicine given by Jia Jing, and when you have time in the future, you will go to Qingxuguan to find Zhang Laodao and ask, to see what effect this thing has, and what kind of skills are needed, and see if you can set up some useful information.
After leaving the Xuanzhen Temple, the eldest master did not return to the city directly, but went to Tongzhou to continue his inspection.
During their stay in Tongzhou, Jia Rong and Qin Keqing came to visit him with a little Xichun, and the eldest man was the thickest thigh of the Jia family at this time.
Jia Rong, this kid is still very good, after leaving the flower world like the capital, and at the same time with Qin Keqing's assistance, he mixed quite well in Tongzhou, and at this time he was already a Tongzhou Tongzhi of the seventh grade.
Qin Keqing's complexion is not bad, maybe it is related to Jia Rong's harmonious relationship, in short, although the eldest master only glanced at it, he can also see that this person is in a good mood and his body is even healthier.
As for Xichun, who lives with her nephews and daughters-in-law, she is taken care of quite well, the little girl has a ruddy face and a lively temperament, and she is not at all lonely and lonely in the original book of Red Mansions.
It is said that because Jia Zhen avoided Jinling, Xichun, who was still young at the time, was handed over to the eldest master to take care of at first, which was the result of Jia Jing's personal request, and was not sent to the old lady for upbringing.
Obviously, Jia Jing doesn't trust the old lady, but he trusts the old man very much.
The eldest lord naturally does not make a fuss about children, and when Xichun was about a year old, he was taken care of by Mrs. Xing and Aunt Qian, until the eldest master was transferred to Suzhou Province, and then it was taken care of by Jia Rong and Qin Keqing, who had already established a foothold in Tongzhou.
Now it seems that the young couple takes care of them very well, and the eldest man is very satisfied with this.
After seeing the ceremony, the eldest lord first asked Jia Rong how she was doing in Tongzhou, and after getting a very positive response, he explained his intention and explained the matter of temporarily imprisoning Jia Zhen in the open sea.
Jia Rong and Qin Keqing were silent for a while, and it took a long time for Jia Rong to ask Lao Tzu if Jia Zhen was safe, whether life in the open sea was too bitter, and so on, and after getting a satisfactory answer, he did not have the slightest question.
"Everything, but according to the orders of the ancestors!"
Obviously, Jia Rong doesn't like Jia Zhen very much, otherwise in this era of filial piety, he would say such things in the place where officialdom has the most important reputation.
Qin Keqing worked hard to narrow his sense of existence, obviously even less interested in Jia Zhen's father-in-law.
The eldest lord didn't care, and said with a smile that this matter has been clearly explained to your grandfather, so that Jia Zhen, an unconscious guy, can calm down and calm down in the open sea, lest he not know the heavens and the earth and the chaos to participate in the things that should not be involved, not only lose his own life, but also have to take the whole clan into it.
did not shy away from Jia Rong's official position, and told the fact that Jia Zhen had defected to the king of Yizhong County and had paid tribute to millions of taels of silver.
Jia Rong and Qin Keqing's faces changed when they heard this, they are not fools, otherwise they would not have been in Tongzhou, plus they are in the officialdom and in places like Tongzhou, they naturally have a clear judgment on the situation in the court.
In line with the judgment of the eldest lord, the young couple also believed that with the initiative of Prince Zhongshun, today's position is becoming more and more stable, and the chances of King Yizhong are already quite slim.
At this time, he was also involved in the king of Yizhong County, which was no different from looking for death.
At this time, the young couple were completely convinced by the eldest master's act of imprisoning Jia Zhen, and they no longer had the slightest dissatisfaction.
The battle for the throne is a hundred times more dangerous and terrifying than the battle for the succession, and if one is not careful, not only will he be crushed, but even the clansmen will have to follow the bad luck.
I don't know what Jia Zhen thinks, but she can't see the situation clearly, and she wants to mix up with the king of Yizhong County, who has little chance of winning.
Even Qin Keqing, the younger sister of the King of Yizhong County, did not say that she wanted to follow the King of Yizhong County to advance and retreat, and she was not even embarrassed by her expression, obviously she had already been mentally prepared.
This is the case, it is human nature to drive away profits and avoid harms, as long as the brain is fine, no one is willing to put themselves in danger, it is obvious that Jia Rong and Qin Keqing and his wife understand this very well.
That's good, how can I say that the eldest man pulled them at the beginning, and naturally he didn't want to see this young couple dragged into the abyss by Jia Zhen.
