Chapter 49: The dust falls

"Oops! Captain Jia is here. ”

Lin Zhixiao, the second housekeeper of the Earl's Palace, was lighting the lanterns everywhere with the steward and the servants, and suddenly saw Jia Gui who strode in, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

Steward Lin laughed.

Jia Gui looked at Lin Zhixiao, "What about the third master?" ”

Lin Zhixiao: "In the study." ”

"Then I'll go first."

Jia Gui smiled, "I have time to invite Steward Lin to eat and drink." ”

Lin Zhixiao looked at Jia Gui's departing back, and there was a hot flush in his heart, and he hurriedly glanced back at the steward and the little servant who were standing there, and shouted, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you hurry up and light the lanterns? Look at Jia Gui, who is willing to go out to work hard with the third master, it has only been more than a year, not only let go of the white body, but also became the captain of the pro-soldiers, tsk, good days are still ahead! ”

At this time, it had been an hour since Li Jiqing and the others entered the palace, and time flew by so fast that Jia Jue couldn't sit still, walking back and forth in the study.

Today's matter, it was all Jia Jue behind the back, first sent the chief of the guard and evidence to Zhang Fu, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, worried that Li Jiqing was a dou who could not be supported, and wrote a letter to Qiu Liang, but he didn't think that his worries came true, and almost made Zhu Houjiong turn the tables, but unfortunately, a group of waste, the witnesses sent were killed by Zhu Houjiong in front of so many people, without witnesses, even the emperor could not convict the Zhongshun Palace, this matter is at most the case done by the palace guards behind the back of the Zhongshun King, and the matter is finished with money.

"Third master, Jia Gui is back."

Finally, Jarford's voice came from outside the door.

Jia Jue immediately stood up and looked at the door of the study.

Jia Gui appeared at the door of the study panting, holding the door frame with one hand and panting heavily.

"How?"

Jia Jue asked urgently.

Jia Gui took a breath, "Return, back to the words of the third master, I saw Mr. Dai, saying that the king of Shu went to intercede, Da Zongzheng, the cabinet and the people of Dali Temple all went to the study, and finally because there was no witness, it could not be proved that those people were ordered by the king of Zhongshun to assassinate Li An, and Da Zongzheng proposed that the king of Zhongshun atone for his sins with money, which was also recognized by the second assistant and others, in addition, the second assistant also proposed to let Li Gui, the second son of the Marquis of Jinxiang, take over the position of commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, which was supported by the first assistant. ”

"So, what does Your Majesty mean?"

"Your Majesty has no objection."

Jia Jue was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Does Your Majesty punish King Zhongshun?" ”

Jia Gui wiped his sweat, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Jia Jue nodded, turned around and sat down on the chair in front of the window, Jia Fu stepped forward and poured a bowl of tea, Jia Jue just opened the tea bowl and was about to serve a bowl of tea, glanced at Jia Gui who lowered his head and wiped his sweat, smiled lightly, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Come, sit down and take a break and take a sip of tea." ”

Jia Gui was stunned for a moment.

"Don't go yet."

Jia Fu was the most perceptive and pushed him.

"Thank you, Third Master!"

Jia Gui was moved, and gave Jia Jue a proper salute, sat on the chair next to Jia Jue, and drank the bowl of tea carefully.

Jia Fu spoke at this time, "Third Master, don't we still have some evidence in our hands, why don't we send these to the Jinxiang Hou Mansion?" ”

Jia Jue: "No need, Li Jiqing can't fight Zhu Houjiong." ”

Jia Fuwu was not convinced, so he had to swallow that breath with saliva.

"This Li Gui is a good knife!"

Jia Jue's eyes flashed, and his tone also revealed murderous aura.

Jia Fu was shocked.

Jia Jue continued: "Keep an eye on Zhu Zaimo, once he leaves the house, come and report immediately." ”

Only then did Jia Fu understand that this was preparing to add another fire to the fire and completely push these two families to a dead end.

Jia Gui thought for a while, "Third Master, after dusk, there are unknown people outside our house in Dongcheng...."

Jia Jue's face sank, "Exposed?" ”

"Probably not."

Jia Gui stood up.

Jia Jue stood up, walked to the bookcase, and picked up a letter, which was sent by Liang Wangfu before a stick of incense, and the letter written by Zhu Wucheng, the king of Liang, just one sentence, reminded himself to be careful, Nanzhen Fusi was eyeing him, and there were their eyeliner in Xuanzhen Temple.

He put the letter on the candle flame and tossed it into the brazier, watching it burn to ashes.

Jaffo lowered his head.

Jia Gui also lowered his head.

Jia Jue looked at the two of them slowly and spoke slowly, "This Shenjing Jingdong Factory and Jinyiwei are full of eyeliners, and they should have been stared at by them at the door of Zhang's mansion." ”

"Damn it!"

Jia Gui immediately fell to his knees.

"Get up, it's not your fault."

Jia Jue was very gentle, "That mansion is handed over to the Chamber of Commerce, you don't show up recently, and also, let go of the affairs of the Zhongshun Palace." ”

"But..."

Jia Gui was stunned, but he still spoke after a while.

"Alright."

Jia Jue waved his hand, "There will be opportunities in the future." ”

"Yes."

Jia Jue nodded, "You go and arrange it, don't be targeted anymore." ”

"Yes!"

Jia Gui retreated, and Jia Jue said to Jia Fu: "Ming'er, you go to Mrs. Jiao to have wine again and probe his style." ”

..........

Zhang Fu sat in the carriage a little upset, he has been planning a big game of chess, has been planning for a few months, according to the agreed plan, another one or two months can be over, unfortunately, with the big victory in Zhejiang, the situation gradually got out of control, the emperor not only had money, but also began to meddle in the government, especially the Beijing camp was cut, ruined his most important move in this game of chess, in order to save the situation, he took great pains to get the power of the three battalions from the twelve regiments, and he didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, Ji'an Boxiao Yanqing and Jining Bohongtai died outside Yongding Gate for no apparent reason, these two military powers were also divided between the emperor and the Jia family, and Lu Dayou, which made his heart full of anger, if he didn't know some secrets of the Zhongshun Palace, he suspected that Zhu Houjiong was a spy sent by the emperor to break into the civil official group.

Li An's death brought him great trouble, if it weren't for the evidence sent by the palace, he would have the heart to kill Zhu Houjiong, he had just appeased the nobles who had taken refuge, but such a bad incident happened, which was equivalent to giving him a resounding slap in the face, Zhu Houjiong's dissatisfaction was in his expectation, but he didn't expect such a violent reaction, and there was no room at all.

This is also the fundamental reason why he asked Wu Shichang to send the witness to the Jinxiang Marquis Mansion, he couldn't swallow this breath, but unfortunately, Li Jiqing, this waste, played a good hand of cards poorly, and bought his son's life with 100,000 taels, which was a big loss.

For this Ang Lee, Zhang Fu is very optimistic and already plans to cultivate it well, but unfortunately, Fu Bo has a short life!

I thought of Zhu Houjiong's words again, 'three surnamed slaves', hehe, now that the Marquis of Jinxiang has been forced to a dead end, he can only follow the civil official group with all his heart, Xungui's side will definitely not believe them, and the King of Zhongshun will definitely find the right time to deal with them, as for the emperor, it is hard to say, the first assistant must have come forward to support the emperor's signal, and the life of the Marquis of Jinxiang will not be easy in the future.

I couldn't help but think of Li Jiqing's second son, who is a ruthless man, better than his old son, it seems that he can give it a try.

Although this matter has subsided temporarily, he knows that this matter is just the beginning, and there is Jia Jue, it seems that everything is related to him, and today's events are not related to him, but he heard that Qiu Liang led people to the casino after receiving a mysterious letter and caught the palace guard who was gambling in the casino, Qiu Liang is a person of the noble lineage, and the relationship with the Jia family is very good.

This son is a great scourge, and he cannot be kept.

Today's events also made him understand that there is nothing invulnerable in the world, which made him a little weak, whether the emperor has already noticed it, will he be waiting for himself to jump out, thinking of this, his heart is uneasy.

Fortunately, the letter sent to Duoyan Sanwei was not signed by himself.

Zhang Fu breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and knocked on the carriage, "Don't go back to the house first, go to the Song Shangshu Mansion of the Household Department." ”

......

The study room in the palace of the king of Shu was silent, and Zhu Wuxiang, the king of Shu, who had always been gentle and elegant, lost his temper rarely, and locked himself in the study after returning from the palace.

At this time, Zhu Wuxiang, the king of Shu, closed his eyes and sat quietly on the chair behind the bookcase.

The biggest victim of Ang Lee's death is not Li Jiqing, but Zhu Wuxiang.

Although this matter has been settled, he knows that this matter has caused a rift between the Zhongshun palace and the civil official group, and it is difficult to make up for it, Zhu Wuxiang sighed secretly in his heart, entering the palace to intercede for the king of Zhongshun is already the greatest effort he can do, as for Zhu Houjiong's grievances with the civil officials, he is powerless, he can't do both, he can only stand by the side of the civil officials, this is the foundation of his life, as for the Zhongshun Palace, he can only slowly appease it in the future.

At this time, Shi Luo Yinghe, the head of the palace, pushed open the door of the study and walked in, and at a glance, he saw Zhu Wuxiang, who was gloomy, and walked lightly to the king of Shu, "What did Uncle Wang say?" Zhu Wuxiang opened his eyes at this time and looked at him.

"I didn't see the prince of Zhongshun, but I saw the prince."

Zhu Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, "What did he say?" ”

Luo Yinghe thought for a while, "The prince said that in order to support His Royal Highness, the Zhongshun Royal Mansion not only lost its military power, but also fell into the calculations of the civil officials, hoping that His Royal Highness can make decisions for him." ”

Zhu Wuxiang stood up, looked up at the door, his eyes were full of disappointment, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How is the investigation?" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the palace, it is estimated that it is the enemy of the Zhongshun Palace...."

"Jia's family?"

The King of Shu looked at Luo Yinghe.

Luo Yinghe: "It's possible, but it shouldn't be, the Jia family has been suppressed openly and secretly over the years, and they don't have the strength to resist at all, so Jia Jue is just lucky to get a military merit and be promoted, even if he has some ability, it is impossible to have such a great ability in such a short period of time." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, "Perhaps, the civil officials will shout to catch the thief!" ”

Zhu Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, somewhat understood what he meant, and nodded, "This matter still needs to be investigated, at least we have to know it in our hearts." ”

"Yes."

Luo Yinghe nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Highness has time to meet the prince." ”

"How?"

"Something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?!"

Zhu Wuxiang frowned slightly.

"I can't say it, it just feels weird, Your Highness should take a look for yourself if you have time."

Zhu Wuxiang looked at him, and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity, so he had to say, "Okay, you can arrange it." ”

Luo Yinghe immediately bowed down and replied, "Yes." ”
