Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 189

Da da, da da...

After the new time passed, the dark clouds that originally covered the scorching summer gradually dissipated. Under the fast horse galloping in the wind, the oncoming dust mixed with heat made the riders sweat profusely.

But Jia Cong always gritted his teeth and insisted on rushing to the capital. He interrogated Qian Kun in the palace before, even though he did not find any convincing evidence to prove that today’s incident was instigated by the Dongping County Prince’s Mansion, but judging from Qian Kun’s reaction, the Qian family is indeed in Liaodong. There are arrangements.

Sure enough, there is no king with a different surname who does not miss the position of supreme!

"The Royal Golden Order is here, get out of the way quickly!"

At Yong'an Gate, Jia Cong didn't dismount but slowed down a little. He held up the golden order and led Liu Xianglian and other ten riders to pass quickly.

Fortunately, Beicheng is not like Nancheng Street where vendors and pedestrians gather, all the way to the Shenwu Gate in the northern section of the Forbidden City.

Jia Cong got off the horse, wiped the sweat from his brow, cupped his hands and said to Liu Xianglian: "Second Brother Liu will follow me into the palace to see you, Uncle Eleven, take these brothers to the guard house for a while."

When Liu Xianglian heard that she was going to enter the palace to meet the emperor, she was at a loss for a while.

"Am I going too?"

"Second brother Liu is the witness!"

Jia Cong moved closer to Liu Xianglian's ear, and whispered, "The opportunity must never come again, Second Brother Liu seizes this rare opportunity..."

Not much to say, but even Liu Xianglian found the sentence of Dongping Wangfei Bai's prodigal son very harsh at this time.

He is also a son of a prince, if he has no ambitions in his heart, then what is the purpose of practicing martial arts in winter and summer and practicing such good martial arts?
You must know that martial arts training is not something poor people can support, even the Liu family is relatively rich, and most of the money was spent on martial arts training.

Just as he was talking, Xia Shouzhong, who had received the news, had come to greet him in person.

"Little General Jia Lang, you have a golden order in your hand, why don't you come directly to Qinzheng Hall?"

Jia Cong clasped his fists and said: "Of course there is a reason for the incident. Something happened in the palace. The Empress Dowager asked me to take someone back to Beijing to report to Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he briefly introduced Liu Xianglian to Xia Shouzhong, and said something about Liaodong. Xia Shouzhong immediately narrowed his eyes, and walked quickly to the palace with Jia Cong and Liu Xianglian.

Liu Heng is in a good mood these days. After Lin Ruhai arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he inspected the prefectures of Zhejiang and Zhejiang provinces. Not only did he confiscate property worth more than 700 million taels of silver in twelve illegal salt farms, but he also found a very suitable one in Dinghaiwei, Ningbo prefecture. A place for drying salt.

He was too short of money, Wen Tongxuan, an old man, would spend every day in the Hall of Qinzheng to borrow money from the internal treasury, and he never returned, so he drew his knife and chopped off the old Pixiu so angrily.

However, the good mood disappeared in an instant after hearing the news sent by Jia Cong. His niece was robbed by thieves less than twenty miles outside the capital, and the royal family was completely ashamed.

dong dong...

Liu Heng's fingers tapped on the table, the dignified atmosphere in Qinzheng Hall made Liu Xianglian's legs weak when meeting for the first time.

He felt his heart beat faster and faster with the tapping of the emperor's fingers, but fortunately, the silence was quickly interrupted.

Liu Heng was not as angry as he imagined, but instead smiled angrily: "Big companion, pass on Cao Jiugong. Jia Cong, hurry to the capital camp and tell your father to lead someone to hunt down the thieves. Be sure to bring my niece back safely."

Jia Cong was about to take the order to go out, but the emperor said solemnly: "This matter is related to the dignity of the royal family, don't play childish temper. It doesn't matter how you want to revenge after you get it back, remember, you must get it back!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know the severity."

Jia Cong clasped his fists to receive the decree, and the emperor turned his attention to Liu Xianglian, pursed his lips and said, "Liu Xianglian..."

Liu Xianglian immediately bowed down and said, "Xiaomin is here."

"Liu Xianglian is loyal and loyal, and bestows on one hundred households of the Fusi of the North Town of the Dragon Guard."

Liu Heng seemed to be very satisfied with Liu Xianglian's careful and prudent handling after the incident, and directly bestowed him with the real position of Cong Liupin.

When Liu Xianglian was still in a daze, he said again: "Those three civil righteous men were given seven-rank posts, and you can lead them to contribute to the country. They have learned literary and martial arts, and they are like the emperor's family. They always hang out in the market. What's the deal?"

……

After Jia Cong took Liu Xianglian to receive the edict and left, Cao Jiugong, who was summoned, arrived belatedly.

As soon as he entered the door, the emperor scolded his face: "Long Jianwei is blind and deaf, my niece was taken away by thieves in the capital, and Long Jianwei didn't even hear any news..."

Cao Jiugong didn't refute at all, until the emperor's anger was almost blown, then he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think that regardless of whether this matter is really the work of the Dongping County Palace, the Qian family can't stay."

"One hair will move the whole body, Lingnan has not calmed down, and Liaodong can't be chaotic."

Regardless of whether today's incident was really done by the Dongping Palace, the Qian family's dissent has been clearly revealed, but now is not the right time to cut down the feudal clan.

Liu Heng could only sigh and order: "Let people watch you. As long as the Qian family doesn't leave Beijing, there will be no chaos in Liaodong. Also, quickly take people to the palace in the north of the city and bring back the queen mother. Then Qian Kun will be secretly detained. In prison, the Wei and Bai families sent back to the Dongping Prince's Mansion, and told Qian Kangshi that they were not allowed to leave the mansion until the matter was clarified."

This is almost a disguised confinement, Cao Jiugong bowed to accept the order.Liu Heng looked at Cao Jiugong who had quickly exited the hall, and said to himself: "It's really strange, how come the ghosts and monsters who were hiding in the dark before have come out in the past two years? First came the White Lotus Sect, the Sacred Huo Guangming Sect, and then the Japanese pirates, Huo The Qian family is also somehow preparing to flee to Lingnan to openly rebel. Now it's even worse, even the Qian family can't sit still..."

Xia Shouzhong hesitated again and again, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave also feels that something is wrong. It's a coincidence, the coincidence makes people feel unbelievable. It seems that someone is leading the rebellion step by step, forcing them to rebel. And everything is wrong. Weakening the prestige of the emperor, first the important ministers of Liang Yuan were assassinated, and then the Japanese invaded Gyeonggi. My lord, there seems to be a pair of black hands behind these things."

"The Huo family is gone, and the Qian family is also on the table."

The more Liu Heng thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was too strange. He was silent for a long time and then ordered: "Big Companion, you go and arrange for reliable people to keep an eye on the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County and the Prince's Palace of Xining County in secret. I always feel that it's either Water Rong or Qi Wenhua."

……

After receiving the emperor's edict, Jia Amnesty immediately selected a thousand elite cavalry, and under Liu Xianglian's guidance, he found the trace of the thief who robbed Tu Siqi.

And with the assistance of the Dragon Guards, the group tracked them through the dense forest to the west, and arrived at the foot of Shijing Mountain when night fell.Jia Amnesty sent scouts to the northwest to check, and the rest buried their pots and cooked for a while to rest.

Liu Xianglian changed into the official uniform of the Hundred Households of the Dragon Guards, took three happy ranger brothers, and went out of Beijing with Jia Amnesty.

Apart from giving directions along the way, Liu Xianglian was always in a dizzy state. He touched the official uniform on his body with extremely complicated emotions.

"Brother Cong, am I going to be an official now?"

Jia Cong handed a bowl of broth to Liu Xianglian, and said with a smile, "Second Brother Liu is more heroic after wearing this official uniform. As His Majesty said, Second Brother Liu and the three brothers are good at martial arts. Isn't the city wasted?"

"Liu's nephew..."

Jia Amnesty walked over suddenly, Liu Xianglian quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, stood up and bowed down: "See you, Uncle."

The other three also got up and said: "Meet Rong Enbo!"

"Sit down and talk."

Jia Amnesty handed the dried meat to the little fat man to make him grind his teeth, and talked with Liu Xianglian and others around the campfire.

He didn't ask about Tu Siqi's robbery, but instead asked the four of them about the situation of the rangers in the capital.When Jia Cong had almost eaten a piece of jerky, Jia Amnesty seemed to have a deep meaning and said: "After this matter is over, Erlang will have more contact with your knight-errant friends. If you are a knight-errant who breaks the ban, since you have obtained the official status, then You should worry more about the public security in the capital."

Jia Cong held the dried meat and looked up curiously.I saw Elder She smiled and patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder, got up and went to the lieutenant general.

Liu Xianglian didn't realize it for a long time, and asked doubtfully, "Brother Cong, what does Uncle Shi mean by that?"

"Didn't Second Brother Liu just say that? The game in Beijing either entered a high-ranking family to act as a guest secretary, or went to work for the gang in Fangshi. There are not many righteous people like the three brothers."

Jia Cong thought about it for a while, and explained to Liu Xianglian and the bewildered three: "My father means that Second Brother Liu is well-known, so you might as well try to bring these righteous men to the government."

The imperial court spent a lot of effort to encircle and suppress professional rebels such as the White Lotus Sect and the Holy Fire Guangming Sect, but the effect can be said to be unsatisfactory.

It would be better to use the rangers who wandered around the rivers and lakes, which can be regarded as giving this group of rangers with good martial arts a good future and solving the problem of being banned by chivalrous martial arts.

Secondly, sometimes it is more convenient for these rangers to do things that are difficult to do in public.Such as espionage, such as assassination...

Liu Xianglian has been suppressed by Li Guogong's calculations for a long time, and her personality is more delicate and thoughtful. Jia Cong only talked about it, and he has already started to make up all kinds of brains.

He didn't even close his eyes until the midnight scouts found out where the thief was hiding.

After listening to the scout's report, Jia Amnesty divided the team into three, led the whole way by himself, led the way by the deputy general, and finally handed over the whole way to Jia Cong and Liu Xianglian, and rushed towards a col in the west.

……

Wang Si is not called Wang Si now, he already has a new name Wang Zanghai.And he wasn't a pirate at first, in fact he was Shui Rong's father, the old king of Beijing, who had been placed in the south of the Yangtze River in his early years.

About eight years ago, he received an order to lurk under the command of Wang Chenghai, King of the Three Seas, and this lurk lasted for seven or eight years.

Now he has taken the third position under the command of Three Sea Kings, and there are nearly ten thousand sons under his command.

With the passage of time, Wang Si's status has become higher and higher, and his loyalty to the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County has long since disappeared with the wind.

How can a man live under others for a long time?Last year, according to Shui Rong's order, he took the opportunity of the Huo family to collude with Japanese pirates to disrupt Gyeonggi, and brought his subordinate Erlang back to Beizhili again.

Of course, he obeyed Shui Rong's orders on the surface.In fact, his purpose was not to sacrifice his life for Shui Rong, but to prepare to contact the court in accordance with the order of Wang Chenghai, King of the Three Seas.

Therefore, as soon as he landed, he took Erlang straight all the way, did not offend the common people, and even paid for food and hid it in Yanshan Mountain to wait for the opportunity.

If you want to get an official, kill and set fire to be recruited.

Wang Chenghai had this in mind, and in fact, Wang Si also had this in mind.

Wang Si respectfully sent away the people sent by Shui Rong, and after turning around, he sneered and said to his confidants: "I think the officers and soldiers have already seen the traces we left behind, so let the brothers pay attention, after encountering the officers and soldiers, don't do anything, put yourself Hide it and wait for my order!"
