Red House Shoufu

Chapter 118 Calculation
It will be late, and there will not be many pedestrians on the street.

At that time, the gate of Yongfang was not closed yet, Lin Shu rushed to Ningrong Street with Fuquan on his horse.

The gatekeepers of the Rongguo Mansion saw that it was the Lin family's uncle, and hurriedly welcomed him into the mansion.

"Why is my cousin here at this hour?" Jia Lian, who was having dinner with Wang Xifeng, hurried over, seeing Lin Shu's serious face, his heart was agitated.

There was no one around, so Lin Shu listened to what happened at Miaoyinfang this afternoon.

Jia Lian's face turned pale instantly: "Xing'er...Xing'er!"

"Second master, the little one is here!" Xing'er ran over from a distance.

Jia Lian whispered a few words in his ear, and saw Xing'er running to the east in a hurry.

"Come on, let's go to the study first. I'll send Xing'er to invite Uncle Jing." Jia Lian led Lin Shu to the study, and then invited Jia She over.

After a while, Jia Jing, dressed in a Confucian uniform, also arrived, and Lin Shu asked, "Uncle, in the past few days, have you arranged for Brother Zhen to visit King Zhongxin, King Beijing, and the Zhen family?"

Jia Jing was invited over by Xing'er who was confused at first, and was about to ask Lin Shu why he invited him over, but he heard a question that made him even more confused.

"Never."

Hearing Jia Jing's answer, Lin Shu became more worried.He hastened to describe in detail what he saw this afternoon, whether it was Jia Amnesty or Jia Jing, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Since it wasn't uncle's arrangement, then we have to be careful. Either Brother Zhen was set up, or Brother Zhen had other ideas. Uncle, you have to make up your mind early, and this matter must not be delayed! "

Jia Jing crossed his hands and sat on the chair with a sullen face.He was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Lian'er, you go to Dong Mansion to invite Zhen'er over, remember not to talk about it yet."

"Nephew is going now." Jia Lian walked out immediately.

After Jia Lian left, he ordered Jia Amnesty to have his own soldiers seal off the small courtyard.

……

When Jia Zhen stepped into this small courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, not even a bird chirping.

"Second brother Lian, how can you sing well? Didn't you say you have something good to show me? There's not even a shadow of a ghost here."

Jia Lian kept going to the study: "It's inside, let's go in and talk about it."

Jia Zhen didn't suspect him, opened the door and walked in.I saw the candlelight flickering in the study, my father, Jia She and Lin Shu were sitting in it, looking at me.

"Father, Uncle She, and Brother Lin are here too."

Jia Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked tentatively, "Father, are you looking for something to do with your son?"

"Let me ask you, who are you with today at Miaoyinfang, Nanhufang City?" Jia Jing asked straight to the point.

Jia Zhen's face paled immediately. He went to Nanhufang City for a stroll at noon today, but he didn't expect to meet Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong.Shui Rong invited him to the Miaoyinfang to listen to the play, saying that Gao Yongyi, the faithful Wang, and Zhen Yingyuan, the second master of the Zhen family, were also there.

Considering the delicate relationship between his family and King Zhongxin and Zhen's family, he didn't want to go, but he had something in the hands of King Beijing, so he had to follow in the end.

"Father, son... my son is listening to an opera at Miaoyinfang with King Zhongxin, King Beijing, and Zhen Yingyuan from Jinling Zhen's family."

"You bastard! Tell me, what did you do with them?" Jia Jing slammed the teacup in his hand on Jia Zhen's forehead.

Jia Zhen immediately knelt down on the ground: "Father, my son really didn't do anything, he was just listening to the show. King Zhongxin said, the second master of the Zhen family... It's not easy for Zhen Yingyuan to come to the capital. Didn't it happen that we met? Dear, just get together and have fun..."

How could Jia Jing believe this nonsense, he just kicked when he stood up, causing Jia Zhen to fall backwards.

"Happy, happy? When our family is taken to the execution ground, can you still be happy? If you don't tell the truth, you just wait for the embroidered clothes guard to come to your door!"

Lin Shu stepped forward to grab Jia Jing, and he said to Jia Zhen: "Brother Zhen, I saw you in Miaoyinfang today, not only me, but also Prince Zhongshun and Princess Zhongshun in the elegant room. This matter cannot be hidden from King Zhongshun and His Majesty."

Originally, Jia Zhen was a little angry when she heard that it was Lin Shu who informed her.When he heard about Prince Zhongshun, he was left with nothing but fear.

Jia Zhen is not stupid, he knows very well that the relationship between the emperor and King Zhongxin can only be life and death in the end, and Prince Zhongshun's mansion is a firm imperial party.

Miaoyinfang itself is the property of Zhongshun Wangfu, when Shui Rong invited him over, he also took it as a fluke, thinking about it just once, it should be fine.

But now when he heard Lin Shu's words, his inner defense line was instantly defeated. In the battle for the position, it's either you die or I live, he can't handle this matter!

Jia Jing yelled: "Don't tell me yet? Are you waiting for the embroidered clothes guard to come to the door?"

"Father, my son is forced to do nothing! Shui Rong has evidence that his son smuggled pig iron to Tartar, so he can't do it!"

Jia Jing swayed and almost fell.Lin Shu and Jia Lian helped him to a chair and sat down.

Smuggling pig iron is a serious crime, not to mention that the other party is Dachu's sworn enemy Tatar.

"Beast, do you want the whole family to die with you? Have you forgotten how many people in our family died at the hands of the Tatars? Today I will send you to make amends to your ancestors..."

Jia Jing wished he could kill this unworthy son, Lin Shu hurriedly persuaded him, "Let's ask the matter clearly before we talk about it."

"In Miaoyinfang, what did the King of Faithful and Faithful tell you? Or, did you discuss anything?"

Lin Shu walked up to Jia Zhen, squatted down, and stared closely at his eyes.

Jia Zhen was hurt by Lin Shu's gaze, she lowered her head to avoid Lin Shu's gaze, and he whispered back: "They want me to help Zhongxin Wangfu get through the road from Ping'an Prefecture to Tatar, and it's best to get it without knowing it. horses."

"Then why not discuss it in the secret room, but in a crowded place like a theater?" Lin Shu asked.

Jia Zhen shook her head: "I don't know, I just mentioned it, and didn't say anything specific."

Lin Shu feels that this matter will not be so simple, it is full of loopholes, it does not seem to be the method of King Zhongxin, let alone King Beijing Jing.

"What did they promise you? Did they tell you anything?"

This time Jia Zhen didn't answer, he gritted his teeth tightly and didn't speak. Lin Shu asked many times, but still didn't get an answer.

"Brother Zhen, if you don't tell me, I just want to help you and I won't be able to help you. This matter cannot be hidden. They specially invited you in Miaoyinfang to force you to stand in line, and they even dragged the entire Ningguo Mansion into their ranks." carriage."

Lin Shu could already guess why King Zhongxin chose Miaoyinfang on purpose.

Miaoyinfang is the property of Zhongshun Wangfu, and the emperor will definitely get the news when King Zhongxin goes to Miaoyinfang.As long as Jia Zhen passed by, he would successfully stab a thorn into the emperor's heart.

After repeated persuasion, Jia Zhen, who was frightened by the ransacking of his family and family, finally spoke up: "King Zhongxin promised me that as long as I help him open up the smuggling route from Ping'an Prefecture to Tatar, he will help me get... get Keqing!"

"Beast, why don't you die!"

Jia Jing finally couldn't bear it anymore, he took off the sword hanging on the wall, and slashed at Jia Zhen.
