The battle for succession is like an undercurrent under the calm water, although there are many murderous opportunities, but the water surface is calm, and the Shenjing City is still a solemn and peaceful scene.

After a brief period of conflict, the government returned to business as usual, but it seems to be different from before.

At this time, in the study of the Earl's Palace, Jia Jue didn't even have the heart to read, and sat quietly on the chair in front of the bookcase.

Time flies, five days have passed since that turmoil, the capital is a good scene, Jinxiang Mansion and Zhongshun Mansion have not had any more conflicts, Li Jiqing and his son are lurking in Jinxiang Hou's Mansion, Zhongshun Mansion has been closed, everyone knows that they are just licking their wounds, ready to give each other a fatal blow at any time.

In the past few days, Jia Jue's life has been sufficient and nourishing, and the training of the Rui Shi Battalion has also entered the right track, he doesn't have to stay in the barracks all day, or go to the military department to brush his face, or go to the banquet of the noble lineage, with the help of Xie Qiong and Shi Nai, he quickly became familiar with other noble generals, and he was not idle when he came back at night, went to Mengyunxuan to talk to Daiyu and laughed, contact and contact feelings, Lin Ruhai replied to Jia Yu, and also wrote a letter to Jia Jue, just said one thing, he did not object to the marriage of the two, The letter also contained the letter written by Jia Yu to Lin Ruhai, after reading the letter, Jia Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, originally thought that Jia Yu would mention this matter very vaguely, but unexpectedly, Jia Yu not only said it very bluntly, but also copied most of the letter he wrote to him to Lin Ruhai, and his old face was lost.

Jia Yu took Lin Ruhai's reply to Jia's mother, and Jia's mother didn't say anything after reading it.

Wang Xifeng is a fast-talking person, after knowing this from Jia Lian's mouth, he went to Jia's mother's house to inquire about the situation, and after seeing Jia's mother's acquiescence, he went to find Daiyu's grandmother Wang Mama, and told her the meaning of Lin Ruhai and Jia's mother, Wang Mama was very happy, she was clear about Jia Jue's thoughts, of course, she was also very satisfied with Jia Jue's person, she worked hard to make a career at a young age, the most important thing is to be good to her own girl, attentive, in addition to sending some food, drink and play things every day, is to change the way to relieve the boredom of his own girl, so sincere is really rare.

I don't know which yard it came from, and soon it spread in the circle of people in the three mansions, and the more outrageous it became, some people even said that the two families had changed their marriage books and decided on a family affair, and they would discuss the marriage after Daiyu's three-year filial piety period, and they said that there was a nose and eyes, and there was no news in Jia's mother's house, many people thought it was true, and in the end, Jia Zheng really couldn't listen to it, and reprimanded a few stewards before stopping, but it also proved that this matter was true, because Jia Zheng's original words were to let them not talk nonsense behind their backs.

Because of this incident, Daiyu was teased by Tanchun and Xiangyun, which made her angry.

Of course, Jia Jue was not restless because of this matter, early in the morning, Jiao Da went out of the city, if he guessed correctly, he went to Xuanzhen to see Jia Jing.

In recent days, Jia Fu and Jia Gui have nothing to do with Jiao Da to drink, ask about some old things in the house, Jia Fu They are young, a few words were set by Jiao Da to show his true intentions, last night to chat with himself for more than half an hour, said some old things in the past Fuzhong, when he learned that he planned to form an intelligence network, he was not as surprised as he imagined, glanced at himself, and left with only one sentence.

He said, consider considering.

It seems that his guess is not wrong, Jiao Da has an intelligence network belonging to the Jia family in his hands, but he doesn't know why the Jia family ended up so miserably.

"Third master, Master Jiao is here."

At this time, Jia Fu's voice came from outside the door.

"Please come in."

Jia Jue only opened his eyes at this time and looked out the door.

Jia Fu and Jiao Da walked into the study, saw Jia Jue sitting on a chair, Jiao Da rarely stepped forward and saluted, but they didn't see each other for a long time, but they didn't know how to speak after meeting, and they were silent for a while.

Jia Fu poured tea, "Master Jiao, please drink tea." ”

As he spoke, he put down the tea bowl and withdrew.

"Listen to it, too."

Jia Jue stopped him, "Master Jiao, please take a seat." ”

Jia Fu was happy in his heart, and his face was solemn, and he stood solemnly next to the bookcase.

Jiao Da sat down on the chair diagonally opposite Jia Fu, knowing that Jia Jue had many questions to ask himself, and quietly waited for Jia Jue to speak.

Of course, Jia Jue was anxious, but said with a smile on his lips: "I was thinking about asking Jia Fu to invite the master to come over and talk, but I didn't think that the master would come over." ”

Jiao Da was extremely relieved to see Jia Jue so cautious, secretly exhaled, glanced at Jia Fu quickly, and then looked at Jia Jue again, and said directly: "I just went to see Young Master Sun and told him what the third master meant..."

Jia Zhen's eyes flashed, looking at Jia Fu, Jia Fu's eyes also lit up, the two touched their eyes, you know, Jiao Da is a proud person, except for Jia's mother, he doesn't pay attention to anyone else, Jia Zhen, the head of the family, he only called 'Brother Zhen'er when he saw it, last night it was a 'Brother Zhen'er on the left, and a 'Brother Zhen'er on the right', and he changed his name when he came back from a trip to Xuanzhen Temple, there must be something in this.

At this time, Jiao Da's expression was extremely serious, he glanced at Jia Fu again, and said, "The third master guessed well, the old man has the last intelligence network of the Jia family in his hands. ”

Both of them were shocked, and looked at Jiao Da together.

Jiao Da sighed, and then said: "This matter has to start with the young master, when Ning Rong Ergong relied on the military to set up a direct intelligence network, which was later passed to the hands of the young master, unfortunately, the young master thought that there was no war, so he let Young Master Sun study and become a scholar, so he naturally did not pay attention to the intelligence network, with the death of the old man, and there was no money to support the recruitment and training of new people, the intelligence network became fragmented, and when the young master died of illness, the intelligence network was handed over to the second generation of Rong Guogong.

However, after Rong Guogong took over the intelligence network, he rebuilt the intelligence network, but the good times did not last long, as the Jia family was involved in the struggle between Emperor Wuzong and the civil official group, the intelligence network of the Jia family was also hit hard, and many old people died in the slaughter of many forces, and the Jia family intelligence network collapsed. ”

Jia Jue sat in front of the bookcase, looking at him quietly, not moving.

Jia Fu, who was standing next to him, spoke, "Master, how many people are left now?" ”

Jiao Da's heart was sour, "In order to turn the tables back then, the last elite went to Hetao with the Beijing camp, the battle was killed, the missing disappeared, and even a dozen people who came back from the Hetao have passed away in these years, leaving me, an old immortal, with a few hairy babies guarding the ancestral hall of the Jia family, lest the Jia family ...."

Jia Jue's eyes flashed, "What happened to Hetao?" ”

Jiao Da was uncomfortable for a while, "Third Master, I have followed the master all my life, I have identified the Jia family in this life, and I originally planned to bring the secret in my heart to the grave, but I just went to see Young Master Sun, and he asked me to tell you everything I know." ”

Speaking of this, there was another sigh, "I don't know too much about the things back then, I only know that that night, Emperor Wuzong personally came to Rongguo Mansion and summoned Rongguo Gong and the third master of your grandfather, I don't know what to say, the second day Jingying went to Hetao, and then the news of Wuzong falling into the water came from the palace, and after another month, the news of the defeat of the army came from Hetao, and Wuzong died that night. That night, there was a fire in the imperial city, the West Factory was reduced to ashes overnight, and the East Factory Arrest Office was also burned down, in short, many people died that night. ”

"Oh...."

Jia Jue took a breath of cold air.

"The dozen or so people who came back from Hetao were all banned by the Duke of Rongguo, so they didn't hear anything, but once they were drunk, and got the following information from their words, the army went to Hetao to welcome a group of Taizu bloodlines outside, and they had a very important thing in their hands, in addition, this matter has something to do with the civil officials, it should be that they betrayed the Jingying with the Warat people, and the cabinet head of the family was the head of the Wu family, that is, the Lao Tzu of Wu Shichang, the imperial historian. At that time, Emperor Wuzong was about to take the Wu family under the knife, but he didn't think about it, and finally fell into the water and died. ”

Jia Jue took another breath of cold air, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, Emperor Wuzong really died at the hands of civil officials, it was simply audacious.

At this time, Jiao Da hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although the Jia family's intelligence network has died in name only over the years, those little guys are still good, and they have inquired about some news behind their backs. ”

Jia Jue's heart moved, Jiao Da sighed, and said: "Originally, I thought that the rise of the Jia family again would eventually become a dream, but it was not until the strong rise of the third master that I suddenly discovered that our dream may be able to come true, and you are the new master of the Jia family." ”

Jia Jue was stunned, the new master?

Isn't Jia Zhen the patriarch of the Jia family?

Jiao Da got up and came to the bookcase, "Plop!" Kneeling down, Jia Jue was startled, and hurriedly came over to help him up, "What is this doing, master?" Hurry up, please! ”

Jiao Da pulled Jia Jue's arm and said solemnly: "Third Master, please go to the ancestral hall with me." ”

Jia Jue groaned and sighed, "Okay." ”

After a stick of incense, Jia Jue came to the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall of the Jia family was in a courtyard west of Ningguo Mansion, close to Rongguo Mansion, looking at the twelve fierce young men standing solemnly on both sides of the ancestral hall, Jia Jue's eyes flashed with a gleam.

In the ancestral hall, Jiao Da changed into a clean black robe, stood there solemnly, and when he saw Jia Jue walking in, he shouted: "Kneel down!" ”

Jia Jue took the three sticks of incense handed over by Jia Fu, inserted them into the incense burner, and slowly knelt down.

Under Jiao Da's guidance, he respectfully kowtowed to the spirit card three times.

"Up!"

Jia Jue stood up, and suddenly saw that Jiao Da stepped forward and opened the wooden box that had been placed on the spiritual platform all the year round, and took out a gold medal from it, with only the word 'Jia' written on it, Jiao Da said solemnly: "This is the identity token of the head of the Jia family." ”

After handing the token into Jia Jue's hand, he took out a booklet from the box, "This is the roster of the Jia family intelligence network today, and there are only fifty-one people on the register, which are distributed in Gyeonggi, Nanzhili and Guanwai. ”

Jia Jue nodded and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Master of the house, please bow down to us!"

The twelve sturdy young men respectfully kowtowed to Jia Jue.

Jia Jue waved his hand, "Don't be polite, hurry up." ”

.....

More than ten fast horses suddenly rushed out of Ningrong Street, and the group rushed out of the city gate and ran towards their respective goals.
