The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 138 Jia Amnesty Ends
"boom!"

The sudden explosion of the cannon caused Jia Jing's ears to buzz uncontrollably.

Along with the loud noise, there was also a cast iron shell the size of a bowl.

The oncoming cannonball broke through layers of air barriers, and with an ear-piercing whistling, it flashed away in front of Jia Jing.

The smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with boiling heat fell straight behind Jia Jing.

There, was a broken wheelless carriage.

It was like a wooden building block smashed by a sledgehammer. After a bang, the wooden block fell apart.

The group of people hiding behind the carriage had all been turned into mutilated corpses before they could even react.

……

It was Fang Zheng and his Jin Yiwei who rushed over behind him.

Seeing another cannon fire in the woods, Fangzheng was also taken aback.

"Quick, arrest the people inside! Don't let any traitor go!"

Following Fang Zheng's loud shout, there was a rush of horseshoes, and more than a dozen Jinyi guards in flying fish suits rushed into the forest like wolves and tigers.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Fangzheng quickly jumped off the horse and faced Jia Jing. Looking at the ragged appearance, he couldn't help feeling even more nervous.

"Benhou is fine!"

Jia Jing waved her hand, and then, in the thick smell of gunpowder, turned around and walked to the place where everyone in the Jia family was.

When I led people to charge into the dense forest before, I heard the screams coming from behind.

……

On the official road, the surviving members of the Jia family were sitting on the ground in a bleak state.

Jia Jing asked: "How is everyone doing now?!"

The members of the Jia family, who were still in fear, didn't wake up until they heard Jia Jing's question, and hurriedly checked the conditions of their companions.

"Uncle Jing! Come here!"

Suddenly, Jia Rong yelled and sat down on the ground suddenly.

Jia Jing was looking for the trace of Jia Amnesty, when she heard Jia Rong's shout, she couldn't help but move.

Over there, Fang Zheng, who was especially glad that Jia Jing was fine, naturally heard Jia Rong's cry.

My heart sank suddenly.

Trotted quickly, and together with Jia Jing came to Jia Rong.

Then look in the direction of Jia Rong's finger.

The next moment, Fangzheng opened his mouth wide open like a child startled by thunder or a toad in the rain, looking at the bloody head in front of him in disbelief.

As the commander of Jin Yiwei, Fang Zheng has seen countless severed heads, and there are not a few of them that are bloodier than the one in front of him.

However, none of them are as frightened as Fang Zheng by the head in front of him.

Jia She, the father of Marquis Zhaowu and first-class general, is dead!

On that bloody head, a pair of black and white eyes stared wide open, making the cold sweat on the back of Fangzheng's forehead burst out one after another.

"Master Hou, this... your condolences!"

Fangzheng opened his mouth again and again, and finally forced out these few words.

With a blank expression on his face, Jia Jing stepped forward and gently held the head of his cheap father, and reached out to caress his eyes.

The bright red blood dripped down from Jia Jing's hands. Jia Jing tore off the curtain on the carriage and spread it evenly on the ground.

First put Jia Amnesty's head on it, and then told the surviving members of the Jia family, "Go and pick up all the corpses that the master can find, and put them together!"

There was no expression on the dusty face, and the voice that came out was so cold that Fangzheng couldn't help but tremble.

This is difficult!

Fangzheng complained endlessly...

………………

Shenjing City.

The gates of the city, which come and go, are bustling and bustling as always. There are clever hawkers who set up a small stall not far from the gate full-time to earn money from those who come and go.

Suddenly, on the official road in the distance, there was a rush of horseshoes.

Even approaching the city gate, the speed did not decrease at all.

The soldiers guarding the city gate wanted to step forward to stop him, but when they saw a murderous looking man wearing a flying fish suit sitting immediately, they retreated in a hurry.

Jin Yiwei, can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke!

……

Not long after they entered the city gate, they bumped into Qiu Shi'an head-on, who was riding towards the city gate with a group of young eunuchs.

Seeing Fangzheng in front and Jia Jing surrounded by the crowd behind, Qiu Shi'an couldn't help being overjoyed, and reached out to stop him.

Said: "Your Majesty asked our family to look for Lord Hou and Mr. Fang, and I want you to go directly to the palace to see His Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, he took another careful look at Jia Jing, and Qiu Shi'an was surprised by his rags.

"This matter has become a big deal!"

Immediately, Qiu Shi'an turned his horse's head, and everyone went straight to the palace.

…………

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Hongde looked at the ragged Jia Jing, and after learning that it was the marks caused by two shells passing by, he couldn't help but gasped.

Later, when Fangzheng briefly explained the matter from beginning to end, Emperor Hongde's face was already full of anger.

"Under my nose, those remnants of the abandoned prince managed to get fifteen red barbarian cannons and four bed crossbows to sneak attack the court officials!
Could it be that one day, if someone wants to, they can also place dozens of cannons at the gate of my palace?

check!We must check to find out the truth! "

Emperor Hongde thought about it, and there was a touch of fear and fear in his eyes, and he ordered immediately:
"Fangzheng, you are limited to investigate the matter within three days, and all personnel and officials involved will be dealt with strictly! If there is any obstruction, you will be shot!"

"After three days, if there is no result, then I will have your head!"

Fangzheng hurriedly bowed to accept the order: "Fangzheng, obey the order!"

After all, he hurriedly took orders and left.

……

Emperor Hongde asked Jia Jing who was on the side again: "Aiqing was attacked this time, is there a serious problem?!"

Jia Jing shook her head lightly, "I'm fine, I just got a little frightened!"

"Marquis Zhao Wu is surrounded by auspicious auspiciousness, and he is the pillar of the country bestowed by God to us, so he can turn bad luck into good fortune!" Qiu Shi'an said.

Thinking that he was not injured even if he was brushed by the shell, Emperor Hongde nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the two listened to Jia Jing continuing: "But the father of the humble minister, the first-class general Jia She, was hit by artillery, and his bones shattered..."

"..."

Emperor Hongde and Qiu Shi'an couldn't help but hesitate when they heard the words.

"My dearest condolences!"

Emperor Hongde sighed lightly.

………………

In Honor Hall.

Mother Jia was a little sad, but more relieved.

He muttered, "He deserved his death, at least he didn't shame the clan, and didn't drag the Jia family into the sea of ​​flames again!"

Jia Jing also looked quite sad.

After all, he is the biological father of this body of his own, and there is a kind of unspeakable sadness under the bond of flesh and blood.

It was precisely because of this that when he was in the palace, Emperor Ling Hongde also nodded secretly, and felt that Jia Jing was indeed a person who valued love and righteousness.

Even though Jia Amnesty did many things, some of them were not on the table.

After all, in this era of filial piety, hiding from relatives is a virtue!
After a while, there was a burst of crying and howling outside Rongqing Hall, but it was the rest of the Jia family who rushed over...
