serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 54 Hong Chengchou?
The so-called "chicken flying dog jumping" is best used to describe the current Beijing city.

First, Bo Jiahu, the third-class raider in Ningguo Mansion, was assassinated in Yandai Xie Street, and then several manors on the south bank of the Yongding River outside the city were looted and burned in broad daylight. When the dusk spread to the city, people were panicked.

In the early morning of the next day, an imperial decree came out from the Qianqing Palace, and Shuntian Fu Yin was removed from his post and awaited review at home.

Jingtian Hou Qiuliang took over the military power of the army and horses.

Wang Shuirong of Beijing summoned the Ministry of Justice and Shuntian Mansion to track down the murderer.

Just when all eyes were on King Beijing, King Zhongshun led the [-]-step cavalry battalion southward.

The road from Qianqing Palace to Longshou Palace.

In the front is a great eunuch of the Dragon Head Palace, behind are two small yellow gates, and in the middle is the King of Beijing Shui Rong. A group of people walked along the corridor beside the royal road.

In the distance, four guards in full armor stood outside the gate of the Dragon Head Palace with sword handles in their hands.

Shui Rong looked suspiciously at the closed palace gate, then at the imperial guards standing there, suddenly, the moon gate behind him closed with a click.

Shui Rong's heart was shaken, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did the Supreme Emperor suddenly summon me?"

The eunuch seemed not to hear, and walked forward with his hands down.

Shui Rong trembled all over, but on the surface he could only pretend to be calm and strode forward.

Amidst the confusion, Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch, came out from the door opening.

The eunuch took a step forward: "By order, I invite His Majesty the King of Beijing to meet."

Xia Shouzhong: "Understood."

The big eunuch and the two little yellow gates withdrew.

Water soluble: "inner phase."

Xia Shouzhong smiled slightly, and said to Shui Rong, "I'm offended."

Shui Rong was startled: "What?"

A Forbidden Army: "Raise your hand."

Shui Rong froze for a moment, then raised his hand.

The imperial guards searched him skillfully.

Shui Rong: "What's wrong?"

Xia Shouzhong immediately smiled apologetically: "It's not because of Uncle Jia!"

After the forbidden army searched, they retreated to the side.

Xia Shouzhong: "The sage is waiting for the prince. Please follow the miscellaneous family." Then he walked towards the doorway beside him.

Shui Rong: "May I ask the inner minister, why did the Supreme Emperor suddenly summon Xiao Wang?"

Xia Shouzhong didn't turn his head, and replied flatly: "My lord, don't make random guesses. He may ask about the Zhen family's affairs just for dinner."

Shui Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."

The palace is the worst place to hide secrets. The news of King Shui Rong's body search spread from inside the palace to outside the palace. The entire court was silent, even the most stupid people could see the implication. The Supreme Emperor didn't believe King Beijing!
The news soon spread to Ningguo Mansion.

In the study room, Jia Hu read a letter and nodded with satisfaction. The emperor approved Song Chengliang's recommendation and agreed that Li Mao, the prefect of Suzhou, would be the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has the right to speak, thanks to the person behind the assassination of himself.

Without this matter, the emperor would never agree that Xungui extended his hand into the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the right deputy capital censor such an important position.

Regarding the matter of Shui Rong being slapped in the face, Jia Hu just smiled. After returning to Beijing, I met him a few times and didn't talk much with him, so I don't know much about it. The only feeling is that this person is fake!

Perhaps it was time to ask Jia Amnesty, but he remembered something, stood up, folded Song Chengliang's letter and stuffed it into his sleeve, opened the door and walked out.

At this time, Hu Po came over from the backyard and said with a smile, "The girls are all flying kites and fishing in the garden." He paused for a while, and then said, "The old man is here too."

"Oh?"

Jia Hu was stunned for a moment, Jia Amnesty was a senior otaku, every day he went to pay his respects to Jia's mother, and stayed in the yard to drink with a large group of wives, how could he think of coming to this garden?
Still staying with Sister Yingchun?
This is where family fun comes in!

Hu Po looked around for a while, then leaned over and said: "I just heard from Fei Cui that the old man drank a lot of wine early in the morning, and the old lady was so angry that she cried, saying that the old man didn't know how to take care of his body, and scolded the old man for wanting her to drink too much." Bear the pain of bereavement again.

The wives and grandmothers couldn't persuade her, and finally the old man made an oath to drink less alcohol and take care of his body more, so the old lady gave up.The old lady remembered that the girls were flying kites and fishing here today, so she ordered the old man to come and fish for entertainment. "

Jia Hu pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly, and said, "Go, have a look." After speaking, he walked towards Huifang Garden.

Today's sun is very good, there is wind, but not too much, it is the most suitable for kite flying.

In the distance, the girls and a group of maidservants were flying kites behind Tianxiang Tower. After watching for a while, they didn't see Daiyu, Xichun and Baochai.

"elder brother!"

Jia Hu turned around, and saw a group of women and maids hugging the three of them coming from the corridor downstairs of Tianxiang Building.

The women stopped in their tracks, Daiyu took Xichun's hand, Xichun took Baochai's hand, and Zijuan and the others followed closely behind.

Jia Hu walked towards them with a smile and said, "I asked the kitchen to prepare the oven, game, wine and vegetables. Let's sit on the floor and play while eating. We can enjoy the beautiful scenery and adjust our taste."

During the conversation, he had already walked to the side of the three of them.

Xichun clapped her hands and jumped up, shouting happily: "That's great! I'll tell my second sister to go!" After saying that, she smiled and ran towards Yingchun and the others.

"This girl!"

Jia Hu shook his head and smiled, and said to Daiyu, "I asked the kitchen to make red bean balls and squirrel mandarin fish."

Daiyu smiled back, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Jia Hu raised his hand, took off the string of beads on his wrist, and took her hand, "You should take it with you."

Daiyu was in a hurry, her face flushed red, "Don't hold back, Sister Bao is watching."

Jia Hu: "Oh?" His eyes turned to Baochai.

Baochai was at a loss for a while.

Only then did Jia Hu let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Bao, if there is anything you want to eat or play, just tell the mother-in-law, don't be an outsider." Then he ordered Zijuan and the others. nod.

Daiyu: "Uncle is behind the rockery, you can go quickly."

"Ok?"

Jia Hu was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Daiyu just glanced at him and didn't speak.

"Uh"

Jia Hu paused slightly, being too smart is not a good thing.

"."

Baochai silently took two steps back.

Jia Hu wanted to say something else.

At this time, Xiangyun ran over like a gust of wind: "Second brother, do you have venison?"

Jia Hu nodded angrily, "Why is your venison missing!" Then he said to Daiyu: "Play first, I'll talk to the Elder."

Daiyu smiled: "Go." After speaking, she took Xiangyun and Baochai to Yingchun and the others.

After crossing the rockery, the back of Jia She who was fishing appeared. Jia Hu walked forward with a smile, couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Uncle She fell into the wine tank?!"

Jia Amnesty didn't even look back, but said flatly, "Speak if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say."

Jia Hu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Uncle Xi is so vulgar! How can you say that you were coughing and coughing in the East Palace all those years ago? I mean, you are a child of everyone."

Jia Amnesty still didn't look back, and remained motionless.

Jia Hu walked up to Jia She: "Uncle She, news came from the palace that the Supreme Emperor called Shui Rong into the palace, but ordered people to search him. Why?"

Jia Amnesty moved slightly, and continued fishing.

"What is the identity of Shui Rong?"

"The big show is about to start. I have to know whether the people around me are enemies or friends!"

"Uncle Pardon."

Jia Amnesty finally spoke: "You know all about it. The self-generating firecracker developed by the Ordnance Bureau was stolen two years ago, and it disappeared without a trace. It's even better now, with hands reaching out to the Zhenfu Division and the Tier He even can openly assassinate the officials of the imperial court, and at the foot of the emperor, there are Manchu Tartars and the remnants of the Salt Gang. It’s a big deal.”

Jia Hu: "The Supreme Emperor suspects that it is the King of Beijing! Why?"

Jia Amnesty: "Shui Rong's ancestor's surname was not Shui, but Hong, whose ancestral home was Fujian. There was a big traitor in the former Ming clan, so he changed his surname, and moved his family to Jinling. After making great achievements, he was named the King of Beijing County.

When Emperor Taizong executed King Sanshun and General Qingming, the identity of the Shui clan was exposed.They are Hong Chengchou's tribe. "

"That's the case, why does the old lady give water-soluble media?"

Having said that, Jia Hu's expression changed: "Is it the Supreme Emperor?!"

Jia Amnesty: "The most ruthless emperor's family, the emperor's cruelty is beyond your imagination. A second girl from the Zhen family has involved the Zhenjia family, the Beijing Palace, the Zhongshun Palace, and even today. It is a last resort, old lady It is acquiesced that Wang Ziteng will become the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp."

After a pause, "It is certain that someone in the founding lineage betrayed Da Zhou. Shui Rong is just one of the suspects, and the Jia family was also on the list." As he spoke, a bubble appeared on the water.

Jia Hu: "Take the bait!"

Jia Amnesty handed the fishing rod to Jia Hu.

Jia Hu raised the fishing rod, but it turned out to be an empty hook. When I looked carefully, it was just a fishing line with no hook at all. He hurriedly asked, "How does Uncle She use a fishing line to fish?!"

"I am willing."

Jia She became extremely arrogant.

Jia Hu didn't care about the old man, put down the fishing rod, took out the letter from his sleeve, and handed it over.

Jia Amnesty glanced at the letter and nodded, "It's up to you."

Jia Hu smiled: "Yesterday I heard from Lian's second brother that there is a concubine brother in the eldest wife's hometown who lives on renting the land in the temple. Now that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is going to buy the land of the temple, life will definitely be even more difficult, and Suzhou may be in chaos. For a while. Why not let Li Mao send them to Beijing."

Jia Amnesty got up: "You can figure it out." Handing over the letter, he turned and walked out of the garden.

Looking at Jia She's walking back, Jia Hu smiled, what a weird little old man.

Seeing Jia Amnesty walking away, Hu Po came over, "Second Master, Grandma Xiao Rong is leading people to set up a banquet."

Jia Hu came back to his senses: "Let's go."
