Chapter 23 The Reward of the Mansion
Daxiangguo Temple is brightly lit, the wall on the west side of Daxiangguo Temple has been knocked down, the surrounding monks complained, but no one dared to step forward, the face of the host of Daxiangguo Temple showed endless emotion, looking at the children who were constantly rescued, as well as those traffickers who were escorted over, sighed deeply, folded their hands and silently recited a Buddha name, I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen under the nose of the Buddha.
Not far away, Jia Jue and Zhang Jiacheng were watching all this with their hands behind their backs, and after a while, Jia Fu walked over quickly, followed by two Shuntianfu catchers, who were holding a box.
Jia Fu tore off a piece of silk covered with it, looked at Jia Jue excitedly, and said loudly: "Third master, Daxi, these two catchers recognize this boy, it is Shou Ninghou!" ”
Jia Jue walked over quickly, he glanced into the box, and saw an unconscious boy curled up inside, but unfortunately, Jia Jue had never seen Shou Ninghou, turned his head to look at the stunned Zhang Jiacheng, and immediately understood that this boy was Shou Ninghou himself.
"Lord Zhang?"
Zhang Jiacheng came back to his senses and nodded: "Yes, it is Shou Ninghou." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.
Hearing this, Jia Jue completely relieved his heart, and turned his gaze to the sleeping Shou Ninghou, "At this time, it is estimated that the palace has already received the letter, and it cannot be delayed, so it should be sent to the palace immediately." ”
Zhang Jiacheng hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Thank you General Jia for tonight's incident, thank you for your great kindness!" The Marquis of Shouning was personally sent to the palace by General Lao, this is your credit, and the old man will not be involved. ”
Jia Jue was stunned at first, looked at Zhang Jiacheng deeply, and after a moment, Fang replied with a smile: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Lord Zhang." ”
Zhang Jiacheng smiled, "Actually, General Jia doesn't have to be polite, after all, we are all people who do things for Your Majesty." ”
Jia Jue also smiled, arched his hand, and said loudly: "Go!" ”
.....
After the imperial physician confirmed that the Marquis of Shouning was fine, Emperor Tianyou did not continue to stay in Cining Palace, and Dai Quan and several guards closely protected Emperor Tianyou.
Emperor Tianyou walked like a fly, and asked, "Say, what's going on?" ”
Dai Quan: "After General Jia went out of the imperial city, he went to Zhengyangmen Street to see the lanterns, and accidentally bumped into the robbery of the children's flowers, General Jia is a kind-hearted person, so he ordered someone to follow the thief, while going to Shuntianfu to report the case, and then he found the den of the flowers, and the two adults led people to arrest the thieves to rescue the robbed children, maybe the emperor blessed, Shouning Hou happened to be in the den of the thieves. ”
Emperor Tianyou nodded, it was really the emperor's blessing, hundreds of children were abducted every year, and very few could be recovered, at this time, Dai Quan continued: "More than fifty children were rescued from that den..."
Emperor Tianyou's footsteps stopped, "What about Jia Jue?" ”
Dai Quan bowed down and replied: "The old slave took the initiative to ask General Jia to wait in the side hall." ”
Emperor Tianyou smiled and glanced at Dai Quan, "Let's go." ”
In the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, Jia Jue sat there silently, and a small eunuch walked in, changed a bowl of tea for Jia Jue, and withdrew without speaking.
It's been half an hour, Jia Jue has been waiting in this side hall for half an hour, and the emperor has not heard a word, and I don't know what the situation is, Dai Quan, an old thing, accepted his own money and didn't do anything.
Time passed bit by bit, and I don't know how long it took, Dai Quan snapped open the door and broke in, Jia Jue quickly stood up and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Dai Quan walked over and said with a smile: "General Jia, please, Your Majesty will announce that you will go to the study to speak." ”
After speaking, seeing Jia Jue stunned there, he said again: "It's late at night, Your Majesty should rest later, General Jia should go quickly." ”
Jia Jue nodded, and hurriedly walked outside the hall, and when he passed by Dai Quan's side, he heard him whisper: "The Queen Mother, her old man, is happy today, and said that Her Majesty will reward the general." ”
Jia Jue subconsciously trembled and stared at Dai Quan tightly.
Dai Quan nodded slightly, turned around and walked out.
.....
In the upper study, Emperor Tianyou sat behind the imperial case, leaning back slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Jia Jue, and then glanced at Dai Quan.
Dai Quan understood, picked up the holy decree on the imperial case with both hands, and walked in front of Jia Jue, "General Jia." ”
Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Dai Quan for a moment.
Dai Quan: "General Jia, take a look." ”
As he spoke, he unfolded the decree in his hand.
Jia Jue looked around, only to see that there was a large section of the holy decree first, and he saw that he was in the clouds, but fortunately, he understood it at the end, rewarded the third-class uncle, and gave him a mansion.
Liujue?
Third-class uncle?
Although it was expected, Jia Jue still had a lot of loss in his heart, and he really didn't give himself a promotion, but he compensated himself for a mansion, and he didn't know where it was.
"General Jia, thank you."
Dai Quan reminded.
Jia Jue hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted Emperor Tianyou, and said loudly: "Thank you for your grace, thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager!" ”
Emperor Tianyou stood up with a smile, "Okay, your merits are in my heart, speaking of which, it is still because you are young, otherwise you should be promoted to the first level no matter what you say, but you can rest assured, with this matter, no one will be able to stop you from being promoted under the pretext of your young age next time you make meritorious service." ”
Jia Jue also calmed down at this time, gave another salute to Emperor Tianyou, and replied, "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace." ”
"Get up."
Emperor Tianyou's face immediately became extremely solemn and serious, "You should know that there is a mansion next to the Rongguo Mansion that is no less regulated than the Ningrong Mansion, let me tell you the truth, that mansion was originally intended by Emperor Wuzong to reward your Jia family, but unfortunately, creation makes people." There are some things that I can't tell you for the time being, but you will know later, you are now also the head of a battalion, and it is really not good to nest in half a courtyard, just by the will of the Queen Mother, I will reward you with this mansion, hoping that you can reproduce the former glory of the Jia family, this is a standard duke's mansion. ”
While walking, he said to Jia Jue again: "You don't have to worry about the traffickers, I have already ordered the Criminal Department to take over, it is estimated that the matter is not small, it may be tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I will remove your name at that time, remember, you are because of Shou Ninghou who was saved on the way back home, and the other Jinyi guards will deal with it." ”
Jia Jue hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your protection!" ”
This night, the Shuntian Mansion Yamen was brightly lit, and the mournful wailing and screaming in the prison were endless, and Yang Zongchang, the secretary of the Criminal Department who received the emperor's will, hurried to the Shuntian Mansion with a body of alcohol, and sat in the government with the Shenwu General Feng Tang, and with a confession to the lobby, Feng Tang, who was born as a military general, directly smashed the coffee table next to him with one palm, Yang Zongchang trembled with anger, and the officials of the Criminal Department and Shuntian Mansion in the hall lowered their heads one by one, and there was silence, and the air seemed to have frozen.
The content of the confession can be said to be shocking, Jia Jue and they destroyed only a part of the Shenjing Huazi gang, just like that, more than fifty children were rescued from their hands, so calculated, the number of children lost tonight may reach one or two hundred, and the fate of these children is generally quite miserable, girls with good looks will be sent to Jiangnan, as for the whereabouts, you can guess without asking. Some will be sold to the troupe or sold to the rich as slaves, these are okay, some handsome boys are castrated and sent to the palace, and many more will be mutilated and reduced to beggars.
Zhang Jiacheng broke in like a gust of wind, and Feng Tang quickly stood up and looked at him with an inquiring gaze.
Zhang Jiacheng could no longer suppress the excitement and joy in his heart at this time, and said loudly: "I caught, and finally caught this group of beasts, one hundred and twenty-five people, of which seventy-one were killed on the spot for resisting, and the rest were all taken to prison, and eighty-three abducted children were rescued." ”
As he spoke, he leaned over and sat down on the chair on the left, poured a bowl of tea and drank it in a big gulp.
A trace of worry flashed on Yang Zongchang's face, he finally knew why the emperor asked him to come to Shuntian Mansion, this is a trafficking gang that has formed a certain scale and power, he has already guessed that the identity of the backer behind this group is definitely not simple, it will involve the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and even a few heavyweights may be dug up.
However, these people must also be behind the blame.
Thinking of this, he only glanced at Feng Tang, the Shenwu General with a calm face, could it be that this was a counterattack by the Xungui Group against the civilian official group?
But when I thought that these people would do such a heartless thing for the sake of silver, I was also very angry in my heart, and I really lost my conscience!
At this moment, Li Xian, the deputy general of the forbidden army, broke in angrily and said loudly: "Something is wrong!" ”
Yang Zongchang: "What's wrong?" ”
Li Xian: "This is the leader's confession. ”
As he spoke, he handed a confession to Yang Zongchang.
Yang Zongchang took the confession and looked at it, his face suddenly turned blue, and his eyes lit up, "General Feng, please immediately transfer troops to take people with this official." ”
As he spoke, he handed the confession to Feng Tang again.
Feng Tang took the confession and only glanced at it twice, slapped the armrest of the seat violently, and shouted: "This group of beasts is really lawless!" ”
The leader failed to withstand the punishment of the forbidden army, and told everything he knew, he and his men were only responsible for robbing children, and there would be someone to do the things after that, these people were the people in charge of the Qinglou in the east and west cities, as for these Qinglou, hehe, there is no backer to open a Qinglou in the capital, and the Qinglou is a place where the sun is making money, these backers are not easy to shake by Shuntianfu or the Criminal Department, but this matter will involve Shou Ninghou, these people have to shed their skin if they don't die!
