Chapter 599: Brother 8
The news in the capital spread quickly, and what Jia Huan did on the first night spread throughout the capital the next day.
He sat in the lobby of the restaurant, eating the special food of the capital, and listening to the other diners discuss the affairs of the Yellow Mansion.
「…… In the entire Huang Mansion, only Lord Huang's study burned down, and it did not spread to other places at all. It's really weird. A fire of that magnitude should have burned down all the surrounding houses. As a result, only Lord Huang's house was missing, and the fire was extinguished, which was too strange."
"Yes, yes. I heard that the fire only killed Lord Huang, and no one in the Huang Mansion was burned to death except for those who were injured while fighting the fire."
"I've heard people say it could be retribution." The person who spoke lowered his voice.
"Well, well, it's said that the ghost has come to take revenge." Others lowered their voices as well.
"I don't know what that Lord Huang has done."
"Absolutely nothing good......
「……」
Because the death was too bizarre, Lord Huang's reputation was greatly questioned, and the entire Huang family was affected.
Originally, the emperor wanted to give his henchman a posthumous honor, but after hearing the strange death of Lord Huang and the folk rumors, he pressed his previous thoughts.
Of course, at this time, the emperor still regarded Lord Huang as his confidant, and he did not expect that Lord Huang had betrayed him.
The emperor just had a headache about who the position of the envoy of the capital festival should be handed over.
This is related to the safety of the entire capital and the safety of him, the emperor, and must be handed over to the most trusted person.
And even more headache than the emperor is the four princes.
Lord Huang took refuge in the four princes, which is equivalent to the four princes taking control of the capital in their own hands, that is, they really led troops to force the palace, and the four princes also have the certainty of victory.
But now Lord Huang died suddenly, the position of the envoy of the capital changed hands, and it returned to the hands of the emperor's people, and the four princes lost control of the capital.
If you want to win over the new Jiedu envoy, I don't know if I can succeed.
The four princes were as big as a fight, and many plans were almost shelved.
The crown prince didn't have any thoughts about Lord Huang's death, but he was just a courtier, so he would die.
Oh, this person is the uncle of his beloved woman, so he can barely let his Donggong Changshi go to the royal family to give incense to people on his behalf.
If you want to say that Lord Huang has the greatest impact after his death, in addition to the Huang family, it is the second young lady of the Guogong Mansion, the Huang family.
Without the support of a powerful uncle, the position of the Huang family is a little shaky, and her sister-in-law has been eyeing the housekeeper right and wants to take it away.
I used to be afraid of Huang's uncle, but now......
Jia Huan didn't know that killing an enemy would have such a big impact on the Guogong Mansion, and after killing the most direct enemy, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lord Huang is the executor of the Qin family's plan, and it is he who gives the order to eradicate the grass and eradicate the Jia family.
On the contrary, the fourth prince didn't pay attention to such an ant-like existence of the Jia family at all, and forgot about it when he turned his head.
After Lord Huang died, he couldn't remember the Jia family anymore.
He thought that Lord Huang had already eliminated all the Jia family, but he didn't know that the people sent out by Lord Huang had been killed by Jia Huan.
As soon as Lord Huang died, the Jia family was safe.
However......
Jia Huan saw the young man who walked to the front, and his head was also big.
Why did Jia Heng come to the capital?
He took two steps forward, grabbed Jia Heng, and dragged him away.
"Second brother? You've come to the capital." When Jia Heng saw Jia Huan, he was slightly surprised, and then regained his composure.
Jia Huan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why did you come to the capital?"
Jia Heng: "I'm going to get married, in order to facilitate marriage, I wrote to my father-in-law and asked him to help me dredge up the officials and transfer me to the capital."
Jia Huan asked, "Daddy and sister Chen'er have also come to the capital?"
Jia Heng: "Naturally, my father and mother want to help me prepare for my family affairs."
Jia Huan's eyebrows furrowed.
If Jia Heng didn't come to the capital, the four princes would definitely not be able to remember him and the Jia family.
But he not only came to the capital, but also married the daughter of the Hou Mansion, in case the four princes knew about it, remembering that he was a member of the Jia family......
Jia Huan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Jia Heng pulled out his hand from Jia Huan's hand and said softly, "Second brother, you don't want me and my father and mother to come to the capital, are you afraid that something will happen to us?"
Jia Huan raised his eyes and stared at Jia Heng.
Jia Heng also stared at Jia Huan and whispered, "Big brother's death is not an accident, is it? You asked my father and mother to come to me to keep them out of danger, right? Did you find out what made you resign and come to the capital?"
Jia Huan knew that Jia Heng was smart, but he didn't expect him to be able to find out that something was wrong with Jia Yan's death.
Jia Huan: "How did you find out?"
Jia Heng: "I heard Daddy tell me about the fire in my eldest brother's house, and the fire burned abnormally, and it couldn't have burned so fast, unless someone added something to it. In addition, when the corpses were finally collected, the number was incorrect. Although the corpse was removed from the bedroom, who knows if it was Qin's, or if it was his maid's?"
Jia Heng continued, "I have always felt that the Qin family is a woman who is not in the room, and the death of the eldest brother makes me suspect that it was done by the Qin family and her female husband."
Jia Huan raised his hand and patted Jia Heng's shoulder: "Since you know, why did you still come to the capital?" Aren't you afraid that the people behind it will attack you and your father and mother again, cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots?"
Jia Heng said, "This is the capital, and the people behind the scenes can't be so rampant. Besides, I am the son-in-law of the Hou Mansion, and I have the support of the Hou Mansion."
Jia Huan: "The person behind the curtain can't be provoked even by the Hou Mansion,"
Jia Heng hurriedly asked, "Second brother, what do you know?" 「
Jia Huan sighed, "Don't regret it."
Jia Heng hurriedly shook his head: "I just want to know the truth, and I won't regret it."
Jia Huan took Jia Heng to his residence and told him about the Four Princes and Lord Huang, and the whereabouts of the Qin family.
Jia Heng was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect his family to be involved in the royal family's conspiracy.
It took a long time for Jia Heng to react.
He gritted his teeth: "I know that the Qin family is not a good one, and the eldest brother will regret marrying the Qin family. Now, he doesn't even have a chance to regret it."
Jia Huan sighed: "I'm not speaking for the Qin family, although she is a water-based Yang Hua, but the death of the eldest brother was not done by her, but by the Four Princes and Lord Huang."
Jia Heng raised his head and stared at Jia Huan tightly: "As soon as I came to the capital, I heard that Lord Huang was burned to death in his study, didn't you, did you do it?"
Jia Huan didn't deny it, and nodded: "I'm just treating others in the way of others."
Jia Heng took a breath of cold air: "How did you do it? The Huang Mansion is not the eldest brother's family, how did you accomplish this without being discovered?"
