Chapter 12: After the Assassination

Jia Yu took Zhishu to the Jia family's old house. Jia Yu didn't plan to live in the ancestral house of the Jia family, not to mention how many Jia Daishan and Shi's eyeliner were in it, and he was not interested in dealing with the elders of the Jia family now, after all, there were still twelve rooms in the eighteen rooms of the Jia family in Jinling. If it was just Jia Yu, he only planned to go to the ancestral house before the exam, and by the way, go to the ancestral hall to light a pillar of incense for his grandfather. But now the Lu family is dreaming of the former grandfather of the country, saying that he wants to go to the ancestral house to put incense on the grandfather of the country, but it is inconvenient to move when he is old, so he sent Jia Yu back. Now the four princes can only be allowed to live in the inn, but the inn was not overcrowded during his childhood? Zhishu later paid a hundred taels of silver to let a student give up the room.

Back at the old mansion, Jia Yu was unsurprisingly surrounded by the subordinates who stayed behind to guard. After a while of chickens and dogs leaving, Jia Yu sent the people of the old mansion away. Under the cover of Zhishu, he disguised himself for a while and put on the clothes of a small servant, and then came to the Liufu pawnshop with the token, in fact, the so-called token is not a valuable thing, just the jade button on the sleeve of the fourth prince. There are some patterns on the jade button, and the shopkeeper saw the jade button and personally received Jia Yu, and then naturally interrogated Jia Yu quietly. In addition to explaining the location of the four princes, Jia Yu was of course pretending to be crazy and stupid for everything about himself, and the shopkeeper couldn't ask anything, so he had to let Jia Yu go, after all, he was sent by the four princes to report the news. Jia Yu left the pawnshop and found that he was followed by a tail, and walked to the street with a sneer, with the help of the crowd, he turned a few corners, and saw that the tail failed to follow under his consciousness, so he quickly took off the clothes outside, but inside was Jia Yu's usual clothes, and then used a water balloon technique to wet the clothes and wipe the disguise off his face, and then swaggered out. Still passing in front of the tail, the tail looked anxious with the lost person, and he didn't even notice that the target was in front of him.

It was night, close to the ugly hour, and several people in black sneaked into the inn where the four princes lived. Xiao Er fell asleep on a wooden bed with a few stools, and the man in black crossed him to the outside of the fourth prince's room. One of them blew into the smoke after piercing the window paper, and after a while he didn't hear any sound, he opened the door, leaving one person outside to wind the wind, and the others all entered the room, and the four princes were lying on the bed in the dark, and the leader gave a look, and a man in black approached the bed with a long sword, and stabbed the figure in the front bed a few times, and then felt that the hand felt wrong, and the hand probed forward, and there was only a futon on the bed, and there was no one at all.

The leader reacted and was about to flee out, when there was a loud shout from outside the room, which was the cry of the wind companion outside, and then the sound of fighting with people. The leader hurriedly jumped from the window to the street, and as soon as his foot touched the ground, he was kicked over, and then he was held down by his chin and unloaded, and he couldn't commit suicide.

The fourth prince secretly said that he was lucky, thinking that his luck was here, thanks to Jia Yu's question, he couldn't help but recall the scene last night when he thought of this. Yesterday, the fourth prince handed over the jade buckle to Jia Yu: "Just trouble Brother Jia to hand this over to the shopkeeper of the Liufu pawnshop tomorrow, he is his father's subordinate." ”

When Jia Yu took the jade pendant, he suddenly thought that the Zhen family and the four kings and eight princes in the book had a close relationship, and if this incident was initiated by the Zhen family, the connector in Jinling might not be trustworthy. So Jia Yu asked pretendically: "As long as it is a person who has been believed by the apprentice brother, it is fine." However, did the apprentice brother ever think about why the attack happened near Jinling after such a long journey to the south? And even the apprentice brother's itinerary knew so well, maybe there were ghosts. ”

The fourth prince was very glad at this time that he went to the nearby military camp to borrow someone from the Duke of Zhenguo after listening to Jia Yu's reminder, of course, it was not the army that was borrowed, but the personal guards of the grandfather of the country, after all, the army could not move without the order of the saint. Otherwise, he can be regarded as a self-defeating horse now, and he doesn't know what happened when he dies. After the four princes revealed their identities, the leader hurriedly poured out the basket he knew, but fortunately, the only one who defected was only the principal of Jinling, and the leader only received an order to kill a person, and no one told him. The only pity is that when the fourth prince sent someone to catch the shopkeeper, he had committed suicide, and his family didn't know what was going on, so they couldn't explain who was behind him. After the four princes took over the manpower, they rushed to Jiangnan with the people. Of course, he also sent someone to report his safety to Jia Yu.

After knowing that the four princes were safe, Jia Yu didn't pay attention to what happened to the four princes, and the more he knew about the royal affairs, the faster he died. He didn't have time to pay attention to it, he was busy meeting with the elders of the other rooms. Although he is not favored by Jia Daishan and Shi, he is the eldest son, whether Jia Daishan and Shi want it or not, Jia Yu is the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Yu sent away the elders in the other room again, and sat down tiredly: "Zhishu, is there anyone else?"

"Young master, I was the last one who left just now. Zhishu replied after handing the teacup to Jia Yu. Jia Yu looked relieved. "From tomorrow onwards, young master, I will copy the scriptures in the ancestral hall for seven days, and I will not see anyone. "There are still nine days left in the children's exam, and Jia Yu plans to copy the scriptures until the day before the exam, and then go to the exam after a day of rest, avoiding all entertainment.

Jia Yu entered the ancestral hall early the next morning, and copied the Buddhist scriptures while carrying the exercises. Jia Yu saw that the Lu family was also a little sincere to Jia Yan, so regardless of whether there was an underworld or not, he seriously copied the scriptures for Jia Yan in the past few days, wanting to do something for the Lu family. But when he copied the scriptures, the exercises were twice as fast as usual, thinking of the name of the exercises, the nine turns of the golden body, I used to think that the golden body was the meaning of the undefeated golden body, but now it seems that there is more or less the meaning of the golden body of Buddhism. In the future, you can read more and understand more Buddhist scriptures, whether the Nine Turns of the Golden Body is a Buddhist exercise or other reasons, it is right to practice quickly. Thinking of this, Jia Yu had a plan for what to do after the Tongsheng exam.

Jia Yu copied for seven days in a row, and after a day of rest, he went out with the prepared stationery documents at the beginning of Yin, and the descendants of the ancestral house only now knew that Jia Yu was going to take the Tongsheng exam, Shi's dowry Jin Caijia was directly dumbfounded, she didn't receive Shi's news that Jia Yu was going to take the Tongsheng exam, Shi just told her to find a way to stuff some maids for Jia Yu to ruin Jia Yu's reputation. Who knew that Jia Yu had arrived, so he locked himself in the ancestral hall for seven days, so that she had no way at all. After Jia Yu came out, she still thought that she would implement the plan when she had the opportunity in a few days. Jin Cai and his mother-in-law could only stare at each other in a hurry, and now they can't do anything at all, stop Jia Yu?

The Jin Cai family could only ask weakly: "Young master, do the master and wife know?"

Jia Yu glanced at her coldly: "Grandmother knows." Then he went out with his book.

Came to the registration office, at this time it was a sea of people, Jia Yu and Zhishu squeezed for a long time before it was their turn, Jia Yu handed over the documents handled by the Lu family for him, and it was written that Jia Yu's identity certificate and the recommendation of the other three talents, after filling in some personal information and the location of the foothold, Jia Yu took the certificate issued by the yamen and walked aside with the four treasures of his study. After careful inspection, the yacha let Jia Yu into the examination room.

Jia Yu followed the number to his cubicle, took out all the pen and ink, sat down, checked that the paper given was not stained, and waited for the exam to begin. I don't know how long it was, but it was probably time, and the door of the examination room closed with the arrival of several officials. The examiner in charge of observing the examination handed the test paper to the candidate, and Jia Yu put the test paper down after making sure that there were no stains. A quarter of an hour later, the bell rang, indicating that the children's examination had finally begun. Jia Yu opened the test paper and read the question carefully again.

The exam questions will not be difficult, and the test is still within the scope of what Mr. Hu asked him to do. Jia Yu didn't waste any time, and after thinking for a while, he began to write on paper. Writing three pieces of paper full, Jia Yu put down the pen, picked up the prepared dry food and ate it with water. After resting for a while, he looked at the second question again, and then wrote it again, and finally finished the questions before dark, and after eating a little dry food, Jia Yu rested. Fortunately, such a day was only three days, and three days later, Jia Yu was a little impatient when the bell rang again, not for any reason, but in this summer, he was in the same room with Yoneda, and even Jia Yu was a monk and couldn't bear it.

Zhishu has been waiting outside for a long time, and he is not worried at all about whether Jia Yu can be admitted to Tongsheng, what he is afraid of is that the young master will not be able to endure the hardship. As a result, the first day and the second day passed, Jia Yu was not carried out, and now it is the third day, and the bell has also been ringed, which means that the young master has finished the exam. As soon as the door of the examination room opened, the candidates walked out one after another, their faces were not very good-looking, and their bodies smelled sour. Jia Yu also walked out, and he also performed a cleansing technique after he came out, but even so, he still felt a strange smell emanating from him.

Jia Yu saw Zhishu and hurriedly pulled him to the carriage: "Zhishu, have you ever asked someone to prepare hot water? The first thing the young master did when he went back was to take a bath." Zhishu saw that the young master's face was good, and he put his mind at ease: "Young master, everything is ready, and food is ready." ”

"Young master, I'm not greedy at all, I just want to take a bath, and when I think of the smell, I don't have any appetite at all. Jia Yu replied. Jia Yu didn't lie, he didn't ask much for food, he was just a little clean. Jia Yu fell asleep after taking a bath, stayed in a narrow space for three consecutive days, exhausted his brainpower, and endured the taste of Yoneda Gong for the next two days, and he didn't eat well, even Jia Yu's extraordinary physique was a little unbearable, and he even woke up after sleeping for a long time.
