Zhu Xi was busy until the next day, a little clue, in the evening, sweaty rushed to Chen Jiang's small courtyard, Chen Jiang had just come back, was sitting under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard to eat, saw Zhu Xi come in, busy beckoning him to sit, while eating in two bites, let the old servant put away the dishes and chopsticks, and personally went to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot water, Zhu Xi had already found a small iron box of tea leaves, put it in the teapot.

Zhu Xi made tea, Chen Jiang took a few steps, closed the courtyard door, sat down opposite Zhu Xi, and spoke in a low voice.

"In the capital, there are 11 newspapers that copy the palace, the larger ones, there are eleven ones, all of them are also copies of the palace, promotion maps, and flower appreciation pictures or something, all of which are sold outside the capital, seven of which have semicolons in seven or eight places such as Hangzhou, Luoyang, Fujian, etc., among them, I have not been able to find out the background of the two so far, and the remaining five ......"

Zhu Xi didn't finish speaking, only heard a half-iron sound from the upper room behind him, Zhu Xi hurriedly turned around, Chen Jiang had already jumped up, and rushed straight to the upper room to rush in.

In the upper room, it seemed that the stage of the opening gongs and drums was heard, and it suddenly became lively, with the muffled sound of furniture falling to the ground, the clanging of iron boxes, and the sound of incomparably mixed footsteps.

Zhu Xi hurriedly followed Chen Jiang into the upper room.

Chen Jiang's upper room, connected to the east chamber in the middle, made a study, at a glance, there was nothing unusual, at the door of the west chamber, Chen Jiang's little guy was in a group, slumped on the ground, it seemed that he had fainted.

Zhu Xi rushed forward, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the west chamber, and what he rushed into was the big hole in the wall that was facing him.

The west chamber is extremely small, except for a bed and a hanger, there is nothing else, at this moment, on the bed, on the ground, there are paper booklets and paper rolls everywhere, a large iron box is leaning in front of the bed, Chen Jiang is standing in front of the big hole in the wall, his face is pale.

"What is this?" Zhu Xi looked around in disbelief, his fingers pointed at the paper scrolls that were scattered from the bed on the ground to the hole in the wall, and clicked over, not knowing what to say. "That's too bold! This hole ......"

Zhu Xi stood on tiptoe, trying not to step on the scrolls all over the ground, walked to Chen Jiang in two or three steps, stretched his head forward from the hole in the wall, and turned his head to look around, "Where is this?" Isn't this still in your yard? How do you ......" Before Zhu Xi finished speaking, he saw that there was a similar hole in the wall of the courtyard outside, "This person next door, have you checked it?" It's from that house......"

"I've checked, I don't need to check, I'm careless, you're right, this capital, the charm of the spirit!" Chen Jiang hated it very wrongly, "Hurry up and put these things away, see if there are any outside, you put the house away, I'll go." Chen Jiang pulled Zhu Xi, who was still looking out, back, and walked out of the wall hole with an arrow, while carefully checking the surroundings, he often went forward, and then out of the courtyard wall hole.

Zhu Xi watched him step out of the courtyard wall, let out a long sigh, first picked up the iron box, then squatted down, picked up the scrolls on the ground one by one, and threw them back into the iron box.

Two quarters of an hour later, when Chen Jiang came back, Zhu Xi had already packed up and pointed to the box, "It's only half a box, look at how much is missing." ”

Chen Jiang didn't answer Zhu Xi's words, rushed to the bed, raised his hand to remove the mattress, lay on the bed frame, and checked the iron boxes piled under the bed one by one.

Zhu Xi was behind him, stretching his neck to look at the box under the bed, counting one, two, three.

Chen Jiang carefully looked at the big iron box one by one, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, stepped in front of the big iron box that was dragged out, bent down, reached in, flipped over, pushed the big iron box again, slapped it on the iron box, turned his head to look at Zhu Xi, and said angrily: "Half a box is missing, this box, I haven't opened it yet, this little ......" Chen Jiang slapped on the iron box again, full of regret and anger.

"See something?" Zhu Xi sighed and pointed to the big hole.

"That family has three generations in the same house, everything in the family is there, probably because they found some excuse, gave the silver, and instructed them to go out, they are all veterans, clean and neat, on the other side of the yard, the adobe bricks for building the wall are ready, if it doesn't touch my organs......" Chen Jiang was afraid for a while.

"This box is full?" Zhu Xi bent down and looked at the box with only half of the volume left, "What are they missing, can Dong Weng remember?" ”

"I haven't had time to see this box yet." Chen Jiang was asked by Zhu Xi's words, his face was gloomy, the volumes he hadn't had time to read, the volumes he didn't know, these volumes, I was afraid that he would never know anymore, Chen Jiang felt uncomfortable with cat scratches.

"Dong Weng, I'll call a few people to clean up here, alas, you are here, only this old and young, it's okay when it's okay, now, with these things, how can you look at it? It's only been a few days? Zhu Xi's words were full of faint reproach.

Chen ** made a face, and after a moment, he nodded, "Pick a few old and reliable ones from your family." ”

Zhu Xi responded, called the old servant to come over at the discharge door, gave a few low orders, turned around and returned to the upper room, Chen Jiang had already woken up the little servant with a bowl of cold water, and was carrying a door panel with the old servant, temporarily blocking the hole in the courtyard wall.

Zhu Xi's house was not far from Chen Jiang's residence, and a dozen or so old and capable servants came quickly, packed up their things, called craftsmen over, and built the wall overnight.

Chen Jiang and Zhu Xi sat back at the wooden table under the pomegranate tree, drinking herbal tea and talking in a low voice.

"How this case will be tried, Dong Weng still has to think about it." Zhu Xi looked worried, "Look at it, this is simply broad daylight, what can Dong Weng do?" If you report to the government and make a fuss about this matter, I am afraid that someone will take the opportunity to question Dong Weng's lack of ability to control this case, take this case away from Dong Weng's hands, or refer a few people to come over, there will be a big difference between the gains and losses. ”

Chen Jiang listened intently, sighed and nodded, it is true, he did not plan to report to the government for this incident.

"If you follow Dong Weng's plan, the world will know about it in the past few days, then Dong Weng has to think about it first, how to protect these volumes, how to protect the whole brothers, and how to protect Dong Weng himself? This method of harming people and planting false accusations cannot be prevented. Zhu Xi continued, "I have advised Dong Weng before, Dong Weng has such a plan, I am afraid that he will die before he can leave the school." ”

Chen Jiang slammed the cup in his hand on the table, his face full of anger and anger.

Zhu Xi looked at him, slowly sipping herbal tea, and after a while, he sighed leisurely, "Dong Weng's mood, I know, I can't tolerate sand in my eyes, but this case, this big and small bow, although I don't know the details, but only two things, the benefits in the middle, and this matter has continued to this day, it has been thirty or forty years, and it has been more than twenty years, how big this case is, how extensive it is, it is conceivable that Dong Weng wants to catch it all......"

Zhu Xi laughed dryly, "Dong Weng, you want to kill all the people in the world, how can there be such a big net?" ”

Chen Jiang sighed, "It's me who is too greedy. Chen Jiang said, stood up, entered the room for a while, took out a thick booklet, and handed it to Zhu Xi, "This is what I sorted out the day before yesterday, you read it, let's discuss it, which ones to pick, which ones to put in, what to do." ”

"Okay." Zhu Xi took the booklet and made no secret of his joy.

Chen Jiang looked at the excitement and joy on Zhu Xi's face, his eyebrows raised, and he couldn't help but show a little smile, Zhu Xi's exhaustive heart was really the same as himself.

In Changsha Palace, Tang Jiashan stood under the corridor, looking at the hanging flower door, unable to hide her anxiety.

Jin Zhuoyan came back, and the little girl who was guarding under the weeping flower door gestured to Tang Jiashan, Tang Jiashan carried her skirt and ran almost all the way out to meet her.

Before Jin Zhuoyan arrived at the Hanging Flower Gate, Tang Jiashan had already rushed out to greet him, Jin Zhuoyan greeted an anxious Tang Jiashan, and paused in surprise, "Why is it in such a hurry?" ”

"Qin Tianjian's side, can you advance the words?" Tang Jiashan ignored Jin Clumsy's question, and asked anxiously.

Jin Zhuoyan frowned, "Your sister's family affairs have not been decided yet?" ”

"Hmm." Tang Jiashan's tears fell, "I just came back from there, the Bai family handed over the word before, I didn't pick someone at that time, Ayu was small, A-Niang dragged it and didn't reply, and the matter of picking people came out, A-Niang and Sister Yu said, Sister Yu cried, I was afraid of General Bai Xiao, A-Niang ......"

Jin Shuyan reached out and grabbed Tang Jiashan's shoulder, and while holding her inside, he comforted her softly, "Don't be too anxious, speak slowly." ”

"Well, if A-Niang didn't go back to the Bai family first, it was because she felt that A-Yu was not suitable, A-Yu was coquettish, A-Niang was afraid that she would not be able to afford the Bai family's family business, and later, things were not quite right, A-Niang wanted to settle down quickly and went to the Bai family, who knows, Mrs. Wang took Bai Xiang to Shandong, saying that it was for Bai Xiang's family affairs, and until now, she has not come back."

Tang Jiashan's tears fell down one by one.

Jin Shuyan took out the handkerchief from Tang Jiashan's hand and wiped her tears for her, but did not speak.

"Qin Tianjian's side, isn't General Lu always friendly with that side? Can? Tang Jiashan saw that Jin Clumsy's eyelids drooped slightly, and he didn't say a word, and his heart was frightened and cold.

"It's too late." Jin Cunyan said in a low voice, "Don't go bad first, your sister hasn't criticized the eight characters, what did you say?" This time, the emperor is going to pick an extremely expensive life, and he will never ......"

"Ayu's life, I have been approved three times, and the three times are not the same, the first time it is said to be an untimely death, the second time it is said that the life is precious, and the third time it is a mess, I ......" Tang Jiashan looked up at Jin Zhuoyan.

Jin Shuyan avoided Tang Jiashan's gaze, "You relax first, early tomorrow morning, I will go over with General Lu to have a look, no matter what, you have to see people like us." ”

Tang Jiashan was stunned for a moment, her body was weak, her head was resting on Jin Zhuoyan's arms, and she cried bitterly.
