The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 100 [100] The prodigal family disobeyed the king's favor, was extravagant and desperate to be shameless
The words are divided into two parts.

On the other hand, ever since Huang Taiji reported Babutai's death to Nurhachi, Nurhachi has been filled with grief and anger.

The death of his second brother Murhazi didn't make him feel very sad.

Because Murhazi is just a half-brother, and he has several brothers like this.

Moreover, whether they are brothers or half-brothers, they are inherently competitive.

This is true in small families, it is also true in large families, and it is even more so in royal or imperial families.

The so-called brotherly friendship is rare in reality. The most common thing is that brothers bully each other or even kill each other in order to compete for family property or the throne.

But Nurhachi was still very sad when his own Jiubeile Babutai died.

After all, this is his own son!

In fact, Huang Taiji only saw Babutai's carriage at first, and found that there were blood stains in the carriage, but he did not confirm that Babutai was dead.

It was he who bribed a hundred households in Beizhen Fusi through his connections, only to find out that Babutai had been shot to death by an arrow. Moreover, the arrow that shot Babutai to death was not the hand crossbow arrow equipped by Jin Yiwei, but the military arrow. The long arrows equipped with Wuli's longbow.

Dang Huang Taiji reported this information to Nurhachi.

Nurhachi immediately realized that it was not Jin Yiwei who killed Babutai, but the master in the carriage that chased them down that night.

Huang Taiji cupped his fists towards Nurhachi and said:
"Father Khan, when I went to buy arrows with two of my men, I met a master archer on the road. He was [-] steps away, and his arrow hit the rope hanging from the huge bronze bell on the clock tower. I suspect that he was the murderer. The murderer of the dead ninth brother Babutai!"

"What? Eight hundred paces away? Hit a rope? How could this man shoot so far? And still shoot so accurately?" Nurhachi's eyes were wide open, and he asked repeatedly in a difficult voice.

Huang Taiji nodded bitterly:
"It's absolutely true! He shot an arrow and broke the hemp rope, causing the huge bronze bell to fall on the bell tower, and there was a loud bang, which was heard by many people at the time."

Nurhachi took a breath, and murmured solemnly:

"In our Jianzhou Jurchen tribe, I am afraid that no one can shoot beyond [-] paces, and even the Sauron tribe, which is known for being good at archery, may not be able to find a good archer who can shoot so far.

I have been a soldier for half my life, and I don’t know how many fierce generals are skilled in bow and horse. Among them, the furthest shot can only reach more than 600 steps. Quite, such a powerful sharpshooter, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle and my hair stand on end.

If this person is a general of the Ming army, he must be a brave general who has won the three armies!If we rise up against the Ming Dynasty in the future, I am afraid that we will have to face this terrible opponent. "

As he spoke, a murderous look flashed in Nurha's falcon-like eyes, and he asked angrily:
"Who is he? I will cut him into pieces and destroy his whole family!"

Huang Taiji responded embarrassingly:
"I originally wanted to follow him to a secluded alley, looking for an opportunity to arrest him and question him, but unexpectedly, I ran into Hai Rui on the way.

Hai Rui chatted with me for a long time, and when I finally got rid of Hai Rui's talkativeness, I found that the sharp archer had disappeared. I searched around the city of Shenjing with two of my men, but couldn't find him. whereabouts of this person. "

Nurhachi said angrily:
"Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. If you fight alone, you may not be the opponent of this sharp archer. Even if you join forces with your two subordinates, you may not be able to defeat him. Maybe you will be killed by him, Hai Rui To stop you, although it was a mistake, it may have saved your life unintentionally.

Since you and your two subordinates have seen the sharp archer, you must still remember his appearance, and you must find him as soon as possible to avenge Babutai!But even if you find him, don't act rashly. You must gather hundreds of martial arts masters to surround and kill him together, so as to ensure nothing goes wrong. "

"Yes!" Huang Taiji agreed generously, and continued:

"I suspect that it was this archer who killed my second uncle."

Nurhachi sighed heavily, and said sharply:
"Then we have to find him, kill him and his whole family, and avenge your ninth brother and your second uncle! This time the tribute to Beijing has been completed, and I will return to Hetuala first to preside over the overall situation. You lead Four subordinates, stay in Shenjing City, continue to search for the archer, I will send more people to assist you as soon as possible."

At the same time, in Rongguo Mansion.

Hearing someone greeted him, Jia She looked back and saw that it was Jia Zhen, so he said with a smile:
"Brother Zhen, what gust of wind brought you here?"

Jia Zhen's lips curled up into a faint smile, and she responded:
"I'm here to discuss with the old lady about offering sacrifices to ancestors and holding family banquets during the Chinese New Year. I don't want to meet you and Brother Qiang here. What are you talking about?"

In fact, Jia Zhen has already seen that Jia She and Jia Qiang had a conflict. The two of them were facing each other, and they were about to fight. Moreover, Wu Xindeng next to him had a slap mark on his face, which was obviously caused by Jia Qiang. Called.

As the patriarch of the Jia family, although Jia Zhen usually flies eagles and running dogs, asks flowers and seeks willows, and does not do business properly, but he is still very shrewd and good at observing words and expressions. From a long distance, he saw that Jia She and Jia Qiang had conflicts , and then hurried over to resolve the conflict.

Jia Qiang's true identity is the prince, and Jia Zhen dare not let Jia Qiang be wronged.Maybe, Jin Yiwei is hiding in the dark and watching right now, so I have to perform well!

In fact, Qiu Chen, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, was indeed leading four of his subordinates, hiding behind a row of roofs not far away, secretly observing everything here.

According to His Majesty's decree, Qiu Chen must secretly protect Jia Qiang's safety, so he dared not slack off in the slightest.

On this side, Jia She felt that Jia Zhen had the same interests as him and had a good relationship with him, so he immediately complained to Jia Zhen:
"That's what happened. Brother Qiang beat Manager Wu and even contradicted me face to face. As the patriarch of our Jia family, you have to punish Brother Qiang properly!"

Jia Zhen stroked her mustache, narrowed her eyes and asked:

"Then why did Brother Qiang beat Manager Wu? And why did he contradict you? Everything happens for a reason, and I believe Brother Qiang will definitely not do this for no reason."

Jia Amnesty frowned, and found that Jia Zhen's words were not quite right. She seemed to be favoring Jia Qiang?
Before Jia Amnesty could respond, Jia Zhen turned her head to look at Jia Qiang, and asked kindly:

"Brother Qiang, tell me, what's going on?"

Jia Qiang recounted what happened to her just now.

Jia Zhen nodded solemnly, and assured her righteously:
"Don't worry, Brother Qiang, I will never let you be wronged."

As soon as these words came out, both Jia Amnesty and Wu Xindeng were dumbfounded.

What's happening here?
Looking at this posture, Jia Zhen is determined to support Jia Qiang!
Suddenly, Jia She and Wu Xindeng recalled those ambiguous rumors almost at the same time. It is said that the relationship between Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang is very abnormal and a little too close.

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty's old face instantly darkened.

Wu Xindeng looked at Jia Zhen with vigilance and hostility in his eyes.

Jia Zhen noticed the change in their expressions and knew that they were very dissatisfied with her, but she still smiled and said:
"Master Xie, I have already understood the ins and outs of the whole incident. It is obvious that Wu Xindeng was wrong. He is a slave, but he actually bullied his master. A slap in the face is not a light one. In my opinion, he should be spared." The position of the head of the silver treasury!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xindeng gasped, shrank his head, and showed a look of horror.

But Jia Amnesty's face darkened, and he said in a gloomy voice:

"Brother Zhen, you are the head of the Ningguo Mansion, so it doesn't matter what you say!"

To his surprise, Jia Zhen didn't back down at all, and replied with a sullen face:

"But I am also the patriarch of the Jia family. Both the Ningrong and Rongfu belong to the Jia family. As the patriarch, I have the right to handle all matters of the Jia family!"

As soon as these words came out, both Jia Amnesty and Wu Xindeng were taken aback.

Jia Amnesty was puzzled and puzzled. He didn't understand why Jia Zhen suddenly became so tough?

Jia Zhen has never been so arrogant to herself before. Could it be that Jia Zhen dares to offend anyone for Jia Qiang?
