It was still early when Jia Jue came out of King Liang's mansion, so he didn't go back to the house directly, he planned to go to the Xue family's pawnshop in Xishi to have a look.

As the temperature plummeted, the people in Shenjing City have put on warm cotton clothes, and what makes the people of Shenjing even more happy is that this year's fur is much cheaper than in previous years, because the imperial court won a great victory in Xuanfu and captured hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, those sheepskins are half cheaper than in previous years, plus the previous Baoling Hou swept the Jurchen tribe in Liaodong, Daxue Mountain has completely become a hunting place for the Han people in Liaodong, merchants brought a large number of furs into the Guannei, and now ordinary people can buy one or two, You can also buy a pair of buckskin boots or something by gritting your teeth.

Dozens of pro-soldiers surrounded Jia Jue all the way to the direction of the West Market, the wind was whistling in the ears, the horses' hooves did not stop, the group was wearing armor and carrying knives, no one dared to provoke, less than a stick of incense rushed to the gate of the West Market, at this time, the West Market was full of people, the people were wandering around, while talking about the gossip from everywhere, the court and officials have always been the focus of their topic.

Listening to the noise in his ears, Jia Jue sighed slightly, he didn't expect the emperor to be so generous, change the forbearance of the past, and belittle several high-ranking officials in a row, even the great Zongzheng let him die, this is the great Zongzheng who is in charge of the Zongren Mansion, and he is also the descendant of Zhu Di's lineage, when the Holy Ancestor Emperor specially ordered Zhu Di to be in charge of the Zongren Mansion in order to win over the vassal kings from all over the country, so many years, no descendant of Zhu Di has been given death by the royal family.

He thought that the emperor would take the opportunity to warn Da Zongzheng, King Zhongshun and others, but he didn't expect to do it directly, and he just got the latest news in the Liang Palace, and the Zhongshun Palace was also surrounded by the forbidden army, and it is estimated that the princes of Zhu Di's family were frightened.

It is estimated that the words that Lu Nansheng said before his death have spread to all the provinces, and no official has gone to inquire about the news so far.

Jia Jue led the matter to Dazongzheng, but he wanted to use the emperor's hand to suppress the Zhongshun Wang's lineage, paving the way for future actions, and at the same time making the Zhongshun King have no energy to pay attention to himself.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Put away the paper man of the King of Shu himself just wants to plant a seed of doubt in the emperor's heart, this kind of thing is rather believable, as long as the emperor is wary of him, King Liang can get more support from the emperor, and secondly, it can also let the nobles who have the heart to fall to the King of Shu retract the foot that has stepped out, otherwise it will be difficult for everyone to take the heir together in the future.

A series of officials were killed or demoted, and the household department was handed over to King Liang by the emperor.

With a few arrows, the skill of Emperor Tianyou made Jia Jue shudder, and he began to realize that the emperor had guessed that he had hidden something from him, but he did not expose his lies, but instead took the opportunity to deal with Chen Hai, a cabinet scholar who supported Zhu Wuxiang, the king of Shu, if as expected, the emperor had already made up his mind.

It's just that the king of Shu and the civil officials behind him will be willing?

It seems that there is a big turmoil, a storm that finally determines the power of the court, I heard that the king of Dongping County is constantly moving in Jiangnan, and even the soldiers and horses of the three general military offices in Henan, Huguang and Shandong have been requisitioned by him to the Jiangnan camp for reorganization, it seems that the emperor is going to do it in Jiangnan, which is intended to solve the problem of the family's control of the government from the root.

"Third master, it's here."

Jia Fu leaned over and reminded in a whisper.

Jia Jue was a little unsettled, Jia Fu's voice startled him, and when he looked up, he saw that the door of the Xue family's pawnshop was crowded with people, and he could vaguely hear the shouting and scolding from the crowd.

"Fellow villagers, old men, the old man is the shopkeeper of this Hengshudian, the small shop has always been in good order, and has never used the means of taking advantage of people's danger, let alone used illegal means to bully customers and lower prices. Today's things are indeed the fault of the small shop, but it is not all the fault of the small shop, and I hope you will give a comment! ”

The shopkeeper of this Heng Shudian is the old shopkeeper of the Xue family, surnamed Liu, fifty-eight years old this year, shrewd and capable, the most important thing is loyalty, so he will be hired by Xue Pan's father as the big shopkeeper, in charge of the Xue family Chamber of Commerce for him, today he came to Hengshudian to check the accounts, just met a scoundrel to make trouble, if it was in Jinling, he didn't bother to pay attention, and directly ordered the little guy to beat him and throw him into the cell, but unfortunately this is Shenjing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Xue family's imperial merchant identity can not suppress people, he can see at a glance that the other party is looking for trouble, understands that it is because his pawnshop has robbed the business of several other families, and he has already ordered someone to go to the house to find Aunt Xue to find a way.

In the crowd of onlookers, many people recognized that Liu San, a famous scoundrel in Nancheng, was lying at the foot of the shopkeeper Liu, and they didn't have to guess to know that he was invited to make trouble by someone who paid for it.

At this time, Liu San hugged the leg of the shopkeeper Liu and shouted loudly: "Five thousand taels, give me the money and I'll leave." ”

"You!"

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to open his mouth widely, and he was not afraid of dying, he had the heart to report the name of the Jia family, and remembered Aunt Xue's warning.

Some people around the crowd who watched the excitement noticed the abnormality and turned around and left, some people sighed secretly when they heard this, and some people felt that this Hengshudian must have a powerful relationship behind the West Market, and they felt that it would be a good show.

Seeing that the shopkeeper Liu was unwilling to give money, Liu San stopped pretending, immediately got up, and shouted loudly: "Come out!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw more than 20 big men rushing in with long knives and sticks, and the shopkeeper Liu was startled, couldn't help but take two steps back, and shouted loudly: "Don't mess around, do you know whose relatives our owner is?" ”

Liu San was invited by several other pawnshops to make trouble, and he knew very well the financiers behind those houses, and he had also inquired about the owner of Hengshudian, but he was a businessman, how capable could the relatives of such a businessman be?

Liu San waved his hand, "I don't want to lose money if I fell Lao Tzu's heirloom, okay, Lao Tzu will smash your store and smash it for me!" ”

More than 20 big men raised the long knives and sticks in their hands and rushed towards the door of the store together, and the little guy of the Xue family also rushed out with sticks, at this moment, an arrow "swished" on the legs of the strong man who ran in front, the arrow missed directly through his thigh, the strong man immediately fell to the ground and screamed miserably, before everyone came to their senses, another arrow was shot, a strong man holding a long knife covered his neck and fell to the ground, as soon as he saw a life, the onlookers immediately turned around and fled.

At this time, everyone reacted, and looked in the direction where the sharp arrows were fired, only to see dozens of cavalry standing not far away, each with an armor and a sword, and the leader of the group held a bow and arrow, looking at them with a blank face.

"The third master is here!"

The shopkeeper was overjoyed.

"It's Jia Jue!"

Someone suddenly recognized the person holding the arrow as Jia Jue and shouted.

Liu San was stunned, his face turned white with fright, he was just a scoundrel, there was a group of thugs who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled rampant in Nancheng on weekdays, and today he dared to come to Xishi to make trouble at the instigation of those few families, but he didn't think that he met a powerful person for the first time, the first battle of Xuanfu, no one in Manshenjing didn't know who Jia Jue was, even the fierce and vicious Warat people died tragically in his hands, and he can still be good when he hits his hands now?

Jia Jue urged the horse to come over slowly, and the shopkeeper Liu was just about to step forward, but he was preempted by Liu San, he stepped forward in a panic and knelt on the ground, "The little one sees the general!" ”

"You are a scoundrel, who gave you the courage to smash the shop of the Jia family's relatives?"

Jia Jue sat on the horse and asked coldly.

"The small one really doesn't know that this is the shop of the general's relatives, if you know, the small one will not dare to eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, beg the general to have a large amount, spare the little one's life!"

Liu San kowtowed repeatedly, at this time, he didn't dare to mention those at all.

"Spare you?"

Jia Jue sneered, he glanced at those strong men, and shouted: "In broad daylight, you dare to hurt people with weapons, cut them!" ”

When the soldiers got the order, they rushed to the horses, drew their knives and slashed at the strong men, and in a moment they all cut down the more than 20 people to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Shopkeeper Liu was frightened, Liu San was even more tightly lying on the ground, he trembled like chaff, at this time, the forbidden army patrolling the street heard that there was a death here, and he was also stunned to see such a tragic situation, and the leading officer recognized Jia Jue, and immediately turned over and dismounted and arched his hand to Jia Jue: "I've seen uncle!" ”

Jia Jue nodded silently, and said to Liu San, who collapsed to the ground: "I'll give you a chance, if you can escape from my arrow, then I will spare your life, if you can't escape, then you deserve to die!" ”

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers made way for Liu San, Liu San has been grabbing food with people since he was a child, and when he grew up, he relied on this pair of feet to escape the enemy's several pursuits, he stood up and rushed out like an arrow, and after a while he was more than ten steps away.

Jia Jue slowly pulled out the bow, the bow was like a full moon, and his eyes narrowed, at this time Liu San had already run fifty steps, he kept dodging left and right, but he didn't dare to rush into the alley on the side, because he was worried that Jia Jue would use this as an excuse to catch him back, eighty steps, just when he breathed a sigh of relief, Jia Jue's bowstring was loosened, and a sharp arrow shot out like lightning, Liu San heard the sound of the arrow missing the air behind him, and wanted to dodge, but it was too late, just listen to 'poof! With a thud, the arrow missed the back of his head, and he took two more steps forward, slumping to the ground.

Jia Jue took back his bow and arrow, and said to the people in the surrounding shops: "The owner of this shop is surnamed Xue, a person from Jinling, and a relative of the Jia family. Thank you Jia in advance! ”

Speaking of this, he turned to the forbidden army officer and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, General Shenwu will send a letter." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the shopkeeper Liu, "Give a few military masters fifty taels of tea." ”

"Thank you for the reward!"

The officer was not polite, and hurriedly saluted Jia Jue with a fist.
