Chapter 123 A Cruel Man

There was a lot of snow.

All the doors of Beijing Prince's Mansion from the gate to the main hall are open, and the lights are bright at a glance.

The lights dimmed the snowy night.

A steward of the Beijing Palace sent Jia Hu out.

Lin San and others who were waiting by the door rushed forward to greet him. Someone put a thick fur cloak on Jia Hu, someone handed him a hand stove, surrounded Jia Hu and walked towards the carriage.

As Jia Hu was walking, he stopped suddenly, and looked back at the brightly lit Beijing Palace, where the cries shook the mountains and shook the mountains.

At this time, the soldiers drove the carriage over.

Lin San: "It's freezing cold, Commander, hurry up and get in the carriage."

Jia Hu nodded, turned around and got into the carriage, the soldier patted the whip on the horse's buttocks, and said in a low voice, "Drive!"

Under the escort of a group of cavalry, the carriage drove towards Ningrong Street.

In the carriage, Jia Hu closed his eyes slightly, his body was shaking slightly with the rolling of the wheels.

All along, Jia Hu's evaluation of Wang Shui Rong of Beijing is a hypocrite, but he is still a ruthless person!

The greatest taboo of those who achieve great things is the benevolence of women.

Either don't do it, or do it absolutely, and don't give your opponent a chance to breathe.

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is the best example. A military prodigy, with invincible courage, was defeated by the benevolence of a woman.

But this is cruelty to the enemy.

Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong is the master who has ruthless to him, a truly cruel person.

Before coming here, Jia Hu got the latest news about the Beijing Palace from Jiao Da, and yesterday when Mrs. You came to give the New Year gift to the Beijing Palace, he also met the second girl of the Zhen family, she didn't look like a dying person.

Through the analysis of the information sent by all parties, Jia Hu understood Shui Rong's plan. He wanted to escape from the capital by taking advantage of the death of Princess Beijing.

In any case, the second daughter of the Zhen family is his first wife, so he can do it!

In this regard, Jia Hu thought he was inferior to him.

At this moment, Lin San's voice came from outside the car window: "Master, Mr. Jiao is here."

Jia Hu opened his eyes: "Let him come up."

The carriage came to a slow stop, the soldiers pushed open the door of the carriage, Jiao Da came in wearing a cloak, and the carriage started up again.

Jiao Da: "This is news from the Elder Master." He took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

Jia Hu took the letter and tore it open to read, he was slightly taken aback, his face showed endless emotions, he should have thought of it long ago.

Jia Amnesty, who is a serious person, handed over his relationship in Longshou Palace to himself. This letter was sent there. It said one thing in the letter. At the beginning of Shen Shi, Xia Shouzhong conveyed the emperor's oral order, Order spies everywhere to give up surveillance on the noble generals such as the Jia family, Liu family, and Niu family, and keep an eye on the Beijing Palace.

In Youshi, the news of Princess Beijing's death came out, which was obviously related to this matter.

And the cause of this incident was the spy who was ensnared by Jiao Da and others.

In this way, can Shui Rong escape from the hands of the Supreme Emperor? !
Jiao Da went on to say: "Wang Zhong has received news that Wang Gou'er said that the Wanping land has been unrest recently, there have been several fires and accidents, and many people have died."

Jia Hu's eyes lit up: "Any other discoveries?"

Jiao Da: "I have already sent people over to see if I can take the opportunity to take one or two lives."

Jia Hu's expression became serious: "You must be cautious. If you dare to fight in Wanping City, you will either be appointed to the Department of Criminal Justice or the Department of Zhenfu."

Jiao Da nodded.

Jia Hu: "Are you going home with the car, or where are you going?"

Jiao Da thought for a while: "I let the Zhen family boy play tricks today, I'll go and see how it goes."

Jia Hu nodded: "It's freezing cold, you always pay attention to your body." As he spoke, he handed him the thick fur cloak with the limp sides.

Jiao Da was not polite, he took the fur cloak and hugged it in his arms, knocked on the front fender of the carriage, and the carriage stopped slowly, "Second Master, Jiao Da is leaving." After finishing speaking, he pushed the carriage The door went out.

Dragon Head Palace, bedroom.

It is also brightly lit.

The Taishanghuang stood by the window wearing a long gown and looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window. Obviously, he was a little disturbed and stood there in a daze.

Suddenly, the door of the palace opened, followed by the sound of footsteps, and Xia Shouzhong's voice also came: "Xu Yuanzheng is back, besides people from the honorable family, many officials from the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Punishment are also present. Xu Yuanzheng did not dare to mention the matter of opening the coffin for autopsy."

After a silence, the Supreme Emperor said: "Everyone, withdraw."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Shouzhong was stunned.

The Supreme Emperor looked unusually calm, and said lightly: "In the next few days, no matter whether it is someone from the honored military or the six ministers and nine ministers of the cabinet, they will go to the Beijing Palace, and there will be people coming and going. Internal surveillance of the Beijing Palace, what do you think will happen?!"

Xia Shouzhong was a little anxious: "There is obviously something wrong with the Beijing Palace."

"That's right!" The Supreme Emperor sighed, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem with the Beijing Palace, but the problem is now a big funeral at the Beijing Palace. Don't forget, Chen Yejun from Nanyang Bo's Mansion. I haven't forgotten it! No one can guarantee where the last straw will overwhelm the nobles. I can't take this risk. In any case, the military can't mess up."

Xia Shouzhong heard the melancholy of the Supreme Emperor from his tone, thought for a while, and said: "The mission of the Yi Kezhao League is about to enter Beijing, why don't you ask Your Majesty to order martial law in the capital?"

Taishanghuang: "The emperor is unbelievable! Such a good opportunity was wasted in vain, and let the nobles grasp more power. I still have to find a way to wipe his ass and Zhongshun's evil obstacle, but Jia Hu abolished it , I still have to swallow this breath."

He paused for a while, and then said: "I have an idea, after the second batch of grain and rice from Siam, Annan and other places are shipped to Beijing after the New Year, Jiangsu will be in chaos. You said, can you take advantage of these Rebellious hands weakening the gentry and honorable military?"

Xia Shouzhong couldn't believe it, and swallowed subconsciously.

The Supreme Emperor still looked out of the window: "I can't help it, if the emperor has half the power of the prince, if I'm gone, the emperor can't control this situation!" Saying that, he slowly turned his head to look at Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong lowered his head.

The Supreme Emperor turned his head and looked out of the window again: "First, withdraw all the people who are monitoring the Beijing Palace, I want to see what this hypocrite is up to!"

"Yes." Xia Shouzhong replied softly.

Beijing Palace
study
Bei Jing Wang Shui Rong actually fell asleep while sitting on a chair.

The thick cotton curtain was lifted, and the butler came in, looking at Shui Rong who was asleep, a look of discomfort flashed in his eyes, he stepped forward and said softly, "My lord."

Shui Rong woke up suddenly, looking at the housekeeper with a panicked expression, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

The butler sighed silently, then went to the compartment and took out the copper pot, poured hot water into the copper basin, twisted a towel from it, walked to Shui Rong, gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, and said : "All the spies in the palace have withdrawn."

Shui Rong looked at the butler for a long time before speaking: "Is this a relief?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, understood the meaning of Shui Rong, and replied: "The princess is asking for benevolence!"

Shui Rong is silent, the princess is dead, and the Zhen family will not be involved in anything from now on.

The steward then said: "Wanping has sent news that our people have been caught in the trap of the Criminal Division, and more than a dozen people were killed or injured."

Shui Rong became a little anxious: "These are unnecessary, let them withdraw."

Butler: "Yes." Just turned around.

"Hold on."

Shui Rong thought for a while, "Collate the information we found into a book, maybe we can make a deal with Jia Hu."

The butler's eyes lit up: "Yes." He strode out.

At this time, bursts of crying came from the front yard, and Shui Rong closed his eyes again.
