Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 208 The prince's calculations, the turmoil between the two prefectures

"I heard that the big fool of the Xue family was kidnapped with [-] taels of silver~"

"Third brother, do you also believe the gossip in the capital?"

"."

"Fifth, Xue's family started out as a businessman. Over the years, they have earned a lot of money. According to my estimation, it is at least a million taels. If you are willing to be a side concubine, those things are not worth it." It's all in your pocket~"

"Third brother, don't come here. If the business is so easy, you can still get me? Besides, the daughter of a businessman wants a side concubine. Is it because I am stupid?"

"Fifth brother, no one has even seen it yet? How dare you be so sure?"

"Third Brother, is this a human problem? Our marriage is decided by our father and emperor. If we marry a merchant's daughter, I'm afraid we will lose our minds!"

In a luxurious mansion in the capital, two men in python robes were laughing and talking, one of them was the third prince Chu Ye, and the other was the fifth prince Chu Xuan.

While talking, Chu Xuan's voice changed, and he said with a smile: "However, I am willing to give the position of side concubine to the one in Ningguo Mansion, I am afraid that he will not agree~"

Chu Ye glanced at the other party, and his voice was a little playful, "I heard that the little girl is not yet ten years old, but you are not afraid of meat, so you are not afraid of others breaking your mouth~"

Chu Xuan curled his lips, "Third brother, don't tell brother that you haven't thought about this~"

Chu Ye stood there silently, thinking that he had thought about it, but it was easy to be self-defeating. He knew the situation in the capital now. It was another big snow dragon cavalry army, swaying horizontally and horizontally, unparalleled in the world.

If you can get his support, that position, not to mention a certainty, is not far behind, but now Taikang and Emperor Mingkang, the relationship is very tense, it is a sensitive time, it is not suitable to take the lead, the lesson of the second prince Chu Gan, They have always seen it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

"Fifth brother, the little girl from Duke Ningguo's mansion, what is the real reason why the brothers plot against her? I think we all know it well, but we just want to build a bridge. Some time ago, the champion Hou Jiaju, in Jingxi Street, This little girl fought violently, with extremely brutal methods, even the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, who was at the fourth rank, was killed by him, but he was actually telling other people that this little girl is his Ni Lin, who will die if touched~"

"As for her marriage, it is estimated that Jia Ju will personally check it out. If he can agree, let alone a side concubine, let alone the position of Zhengfei, it is also very cost-effective~"

"I heard that Jinling doesn't know the cold, and Daxuelong rides down Jiangnan~ Thousands of people form an army, shocking the world, he has the qualifications!"

Hearing Chu Ye's words, Chu Xuan also sighed softly. Indeed, Jia Gong standing behind Xichun was the one they really wanted to bet on.

"Third Brother, you said that Jia Jun's Daxue Dragon Cavalry Army did not arouse father's fear?"

Chu Ye sneered coldly, "How is it possible? Such an iron cavalry descended from the southeast of Liaodong in three or two days, approaching Jinling and the banks of the Jinling River. Tens of thousands of people were directly buried at the bottom of the river by them. It is so powerful that it shocks the world, even the emperor's grandfather must be afraid of it, how could the father not be afraid of it~"

"If there was no reason for this incident, it was to put down the rebels of the White Lotus Sect. I guess my father has already thought of a way to reorganize the Daxue Dragon Cavalry~ It should not be said that my father may have already had this idea in his heart, but Jia Gong is here The prestige in the army is extremely high, he can't act without authorization, unless Jia Jun really rebelled, otherwise, once he is forced to rebel, the whole world will probably be shaken~"

Hearing this, Chu Xuan raised his brows, and his eyes were a little strange, "I'm not afraid of causing Jia Gong's rebellious psychology. If he really revolts, the capital is not too far from Liaodong. The Daxue Dragon Cavalry will not be too far away from Jinling. But in three or two days, if you want to come to the capital, you may be able to reach the city gate in just one day~ At that time, no one wants to really face this invincible army~"

Chu Ye narrowed his eyes, "Fifth brother, you underestimate our father, even if he really wants to recruit the Daxue Dragon Cavalry Army, he will not be so direct. With father's personality, there is no perfect plan, and he will not do it at all. Can do it, just like now, between the grandfather and the father, most of the time it is the father who is forbearing, the father's heart, sometimes it is really scary to think about it~"

Having said this, Chu Ye changed the subject again, "It's just that Jia Gong has not returned to Beijing for a short time now, and we are not very familiar with him, so we can't figure out his temper. It must be the same with the father, so we have been living in peace~ "

"Third brother, isn't it right? Although Jia Gong returned to Beijing for a short time, many major events happened one after another. The beating of Uncle Fan Sizhe and Fan Guo, the incident at the tooth shop on Jingxi Street, plus the White Lotus Sect and the Zhen family in Jinling, could it be that Still can't determine a person's heart?"

Chu Ye sighed lightly.

"Knowing people, knowing their faces, but not their hearts. Many times, the situation is really not like this. People's hearts are unpredictable. It can't be seen clearly by one or two things. The special thing is still aimed at him, and I dare not act rashly. I still remember the concubine mother. As I once said, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sees people's hearts after a long time~"

After speaking, his eyes paused on Chu Xuan, the time was extremely short and fleeting.

In fact, regarding the matter of the human heart, and this is actually the case with Jia Gong, isn't it the same for them?The battle for the throne has always been cruel, and there are many cases of fratricide. Even brothers may turn their eyes against each other and draw their swords. Don't look at the two brothers talking here today, maybe when they meet again It is possible to meet each other in battle.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The third prince's housekeeper knocked on the door twice, opened the curtain and walked in.

The cold air from outside the door rushed in through the gap in the curtain, and suddenly turned around in the house, making Chu Ye and Chu Xuan unnaturally shiver.

"Master, the matter has been found out. It was Ma Changqing, Chen Zifeng, and Shi Kaixuan who secretly sent people to spread the news that Xue Pan had two hundred thousand taels of silver in his possession, and spent a lot of money to buy the oiran Chuye at Baoyue Tower. People spying on him, took advantage of his unpreparedness, and laid a black hand~"

"As for whether Xue Pan has [-] taels of silver, we still don't know the truth. The people who did it are extremely sophisticated and hardly alarmed anyone. The exact person is yet to be found~"

When Chu Ye heard this, his eyes were ponderous, and there was a hint of sarcasm in those deep eyes. The three of Ma Changqing thought they were doing everything perfectly, but if some people really want to investigate, they can escape !
Then Chu Ye asked again: "What is the Xue family doing now? What happened in the Ningrong Second Mansion?"

The butler was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Chu Ye to ask this question, so he replied respectfully: "I haven't investigated this matter yet, if the master wants to know, wait a moment, the old slave will go back and investigate~"

Chu Ye nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go and check quickly, and observe the movements of the Champion's Mansion!"

The butler didn't say much, nodded solemnly, gave a respectful salute, and walked out backwards.

Chu Xuan on the side had a strange expression when he heard Chu Ye's words. After a while, he heard Chu Xuan say, "Third brother, are you planning to sell Jia Gong?"

Chu Ye looked at the towering pines and cypresses not far away through the window, and said meaningfully: "I asked Lao Yang to check the movements of the champion's mansion, just to make sure~"

"Actually, the main purpose now is to see the reactions of Xue's family and Ning Rong's two houses. The Champion Hou's house has too many eyes on him now. Even if they really want to contact, it is not suitable to go straight. Mansion is an excellent bridge!"

"It is said that the four families Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue are closely related, and one is prosperous and the other is damaged. Now that something like this has happened to the Xue family, the Jia family will definitely not stand idly by, and this matter is also related to the Ningguo government. Jia Rong is involved, and the Ning Mansion can't stay out of it~"

"If we have a relationship with Ning Rong's second residence, it will be much better if we contact Jia Gong at that time~ I asked Lao Yang to investigate the Champion Hou's residence. In fact, he just wanted to see if the champion Hou Jiayu also knew about this matter In the end, even if it is really found out who it is, the information will not be given to him directly, but to Jia's mansion~"

Hearing Chu Ye's words, Chu Xuan couldn't help but frowned, with a look of suspicion on his face, and then he asked again: "Third brother, if Jia Gong is also involved in this matter, then the information we get should be directly given to Jia Guan." Wouldn't it be better?"

Chu Ye kept looking out of the window without turning around. With his tall figure, knife-cut side face, slightly raised mouth corners, high nose bridge, and deep eyes, Chu Ye exuded a different charm at this moment.

Then he smiled softly, "Fifth brother, don't be stupid, how could it be possible to send the information directly to the champion Hou Jiayu? It's not certain whether he will want it or not. Lord Hou's heart is very cold, and the Xue family doesn't have much to do with him. You think he would make the mistake of using a dispensable piece of information to get in touch with us. When he first returned to Beijing, our brothers He didn't accept any of the things he gave, let alone now!"

"However, the Xue family and the Jia family are different. I remember Xue Pan is the only man left in the Xue family. If they have information, they will definitely not miss it. Maybe they will thank us a thousand times, even if it is the Jia family. Reject our kindness, and when we go to ask the two governments for help, with this kind of favor, it will be better than others, so it depends on the situation, who to send it to? How to send it? It’s all a science~”

Hearing this, Chu Xuan nodded thoughtfully, not to mention that what his third brother said was indeed good, if he gave something to Jia Gong, to a large extent, he would not accept it, but if it was given to the Xue family Or Jia Mansion, the situation is quite different. Comparing the two, which one is more cost-effective?If not, it will be clear at a glance.

Looking at the confident man in front of him, Chu Xuan suddenly found that his third brother had become a little strange. In the court hall, his third brother had always acted like a modest gentleman who didn't like to fight, but looking at it now, it made him feel a little strange. Unfathomable.

Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan, Baochai had just returned to the house with red eyes when she saw her mother weeping inwardly, with the handkerchief in her hand brushing the corners of her eyes from time to time, she already guessed what her mother was doing.

When Aunt Xue saw Baochai coming in, she cried and wiped her tears, "My son and your elder brother have been taken away, and he is the only male left in our Xue family. In case something happens to him , how can I go to see your father~"

Seeing her mother beating her chest and stamping her feet, Baochai quickly suppressed her worry and uneasiness, and said comfortingly: "Mother, don't worry, Brother Gong has already agreed to help with this matter, and he also helped analyze this matter before. , my brother was not killed on the spot. To a large extent, the person who came here was not a vendetta. Being able to kidnap my brother proved that they were capable of killing my brother on the spot. Now my brother was just taken away. The other party may have asked for something else. The conjecture of the brothers, brother is fine now~"

Hearing Baochai's words, Aunt Xue calmed down quickly. Before, Aizi was eager to lose her hands and feet in a panic, but now she heard Baochai's analysis, and quickly calmed down. It is really those thugs who have lost all conscience. The news that comes back will not be that Xue Pan was kidnapped, but killed. In this way, the other party probably has other wishes. As for what she is asking for, she I already had a guess in my heart that their Xue family didn't have much else, so they could only ask for money.

But then she remembered what Baochai had said before, and she was a little surprised, "Brother Gong, did you mean Jia Gong?"Why did my precious daughter have something to do with this Lord Hou again!
"My son, you are talking about Brother Gong, but the champion——Jia Gong, Brother Gong?

Baochai nodded lightly, and replied: "Well, just now we were chatting and laughing at the fourth girl Xichun, brother Gong was also there, and it happened that Luliu went to call me. It was Ms. Lin who helped me with a trick, so I went to ask Brother Gong, who told me all this, and said that he would help me with this matter, so we must calm down and not trust others easily, so as not to step on our feet. If you fall into someone else's trap, you will never recover~"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she sighed softly in her heart. The strange way was like this. She said why Baochai was so calm. The pros and cons of pros and cons!
"Then did he say anything else?"

After thinking about it, Aunt Xue couldn't help but stood up and asked quickly.

Baochai reached out and patted his mother's shoulder, and said softly: "He said that he would send someone to notify us if there was any situation, and told me to inform mother first when I came back, so don't worry!"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue sighed deeply again, she is really a good boy, he is a hero, and the wind is high and the waves are rough, and it is only a one-time event, she can see something different.

The last time when Xue Pan and Jia Rong were arrested in the sky prison, she went to see her sister, and then she begged Jia Mu, but at that time, everyone was helpless, and then Lin Ruhai came to Jia's mansion, It was only then that the whole story was clarified. If Jia Gong had been there that time, Lin Ruhai might not have to ask for it.

After thinking about it, Aunt Xue suddenly found that there was no movement behind her. She couldn't help but turned her head to look, and found that her daughter was in a daze, with a little blush on her fair cheeks, and a trace of tenderness flashed through her apricot-like eyes from time to time. , seems to be thinking about someone, they are all people from this age, Baochai's appearance is very similar to when he first fell in love.

Aunt Xue's eyes darkened slightly. At this time, who was her daughter thinking about? Naturally, there was no other person. But when she thought of the other party's identity, she sighed softly again in her heart. He was indeed a good person, and his appearance was also good. He is handsome, and his identity is acceptable, but...

After hesitating for a long time, Aunt Xue didn't say anything to break her daughter's fantasy. She didn't dare to say that the Xue family couldn't afford that person, but when she thought of this, she felt a little sad. Her daughter is beautiful, elegant, and knowledgeable. Talented, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is not inferior to the ladies in the capital at all, but after being a merchant, how can those high-ranking and wealthy families really take a fancy to him, God is really unfair~
After the Rongguo Mansion, Rongxitang, and Xue's family got the news, their Jia's mansion also received the news very quickly. After learning that Jia Rong and Xue Pan were going together, Jia Zheng and Jia She hurriedly asked someone to take him away. Jia Zhen and Jia Rong called over.

When Jia Zhen sent someone to look for Jia Rong in Baoyue Tower, Jia Rong was still having fun with the girls in Baoyue Tower. When she saw Lai Er, she couldn't help being surprised. Later, she heard that Xue Pan was kidnapped , was even more frightened, and when he heard that his father was looking for him, he was frightened into a cold sweat for a moment.

He secretly thought that something was going to go wrong, and on the way back to the house, he felt uneasy, so he almost ran away.

Lai Er was also comforting in a low voice along the way, only saying that the master just wanted to understand the situation, and he didn't want to use family law to beat people.

Rongxitang, Jia Zhen, looked at the son who walked in timidly, and his heart was even more furious. Damn, he hadn't even gone out to have fun yet, but this fucker was secretly having fun.If Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng hadn't been there, he would have been a servant to spit on him.

"Evil barrier, why don't you invite it!!"

Seeing the expression on her father's face, Jia Rong shrank her neck, not daring to raise her head anymore, only glanced secretly, and remained silent.

After Jia Zheng saw it, he reached out his hand to stop Jia Zhen from further furious. Now that Yuan Chun gave birth to a concubine in the palace, Jia Zheng's status in the two governments has also risen sharply. Although Jia Zhen is the patriarch of the Jia family, she dare not Do not listen.

"Brother Zhen! Don't worry, let's hear what Rong'er has to say first."

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Zhen flicked her sleeves, sat down angrily, and stopped talking, but her eyes were still full of anger.

Then Jia Rong explained what happened in detail.

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, Ma Changqing, Chen Zifeng, and Shi Kaixuan again, and then Jia Zhen, Jia Zheng, and Jia She, the men in charge, turned gloomy. Last time they didn't care about each other, that's because In the face of being all four kings and eight males, I didn't expect that these three bastards would actually put their noses on their noses. Is this bullying them without anyone in the Jia family?
Then they heard that Xue Pan had spent [-] taels of silver and slapped Ma Changqing and the others in the face. A strange look flashed across the faces of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen. I never thought that Xue Pan would actually spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to go to Gaole, it was a bit frenzied.

On the contrary, Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing after hearing this, "Pan'er, this child, behaves like this, it's like a child who spends a lot of money in a busy market, but doesn't know the principle of not revealing his wealth, the way to make trouble~ Now I probably guess it is What's the matter?"

Although Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen had differences in their hearts, they also nodded lightly. The wealth touched people's hearts. It would be strange if no one took action for Xue Pan's behavior of revealing his wealth.

"Now, what shall we do?"

"The Xue family has already reported to Shuntian Mansion~"

After a moment of silence, Jia Amnesty said, "It shouldn't be very effective, but anyone who dares to take action at this juncture, except for those with great influence, and those methods that are extremely clean, will not be left behind by the Shuntian Mansion." How many clues!"

In fact, I have also heard about this matter, and I think it is quite reasonable to analyze what brother Gonger said at the mansion before. The other party really did not necessarily kill Pan'er. Then you won't spend any more effort to take people away, but kill them directly!

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen did not object, it was indeed possible.

After that, Jia Zhen frowned, and said, "Then the rumors spread in the city before, could it be the work of Ma Changqing and the others?"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng couldn't help looking at Jia Zhen who was sitting on the side, his eyes flashed thoughtful, not to mention, it was really possible, then he stroked his beard, and then said: "Ten chances Eighty-nine, but this is a rumor spread by them, but it may not be done by them, otherwise they wouldn't do anything extra!"

"Let's do this! Send out all the servants and servants in the mansion to secretly inquire, especially in the Baoyue Tower area, if there is any unusual movement. Abducting a person in broad daylight will definitely leave some clues!"

Several people nodded their heads when they heard the words. Now it seems that there is no other good way. Whether it is life or death, they can only obey the destiny!

On the other side, Jia Gong took Xiangling back to the mansion, and did not leave in a hurry, but came to Miaoyu.

Seeing Jia Gong coming, Miaoyu was taken aback for a moment, but then called Jia Gong and the others to sit down.

After three rounds of tea, Miaoyu asked, "If you have nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, you must have something to do!"

Jia Ju looked at her and smiled softly: "I can't hide anything from you!"

The girl in front of her is like a secluded orchid in a deep valley when she is quiet.

After several times of double cultivation, Miaoyu and his mind and soul merged, and there was a subtle induction between the hearts. Many times, she could guess what she wanted to say with just a meeting of eyes.

Miaoyu's beautiful eyes couldn't hide her smile, and the next moment she didn't know what happened, suddenly Miaoyu's cheeks turned red, her crescent head drooped, her fat-skinned face exuded amazing temptation, her eyes were shy, her pair of soft Pancreas didn't know where to put it, and put it on the table for a while, and put it on his legs for a while, fidgeting, and didn't dare to look at Jia Gong again.

Seeing the smile in the eyes of the girl Jia Ju on the opposite side, I can't hide many of my thoughts from her, but there are not only disadvantages in them, it's interesting to watch the fairy sitting on the cloud break his skills in a second.

But Jia Jun didn't forget the business, and said after a little slowing down: "Yu'er, can you help me find someone?"

Although she has shouted many times, Miaoyu still feels a little ashamed. She can see through this person in front of her. She is unambiguous and decisive when encountering major events on weekdays, but once she walks into his room In my heart, I found that the other party is not rigid, there are a basket of nice love words, coaxing people around, and I accidentally fell into his gentle trap, even if I want to get out, I'm afraid I can't.

"Tell me~"

"Xue Family, Xue Pan~"
