Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 293 Which Is More Important?
The sound of laughter and gasps coming from the main room became more and more clear.

The third child also pursed his lips cautiously, secretly wondering who is going to this place for nothing, could it be that this place was sold after Feng Yuan's death, and changed to another family, but ordinary people, whose family doesn't go out to work during the day.

Approaching the main room, he put his ears against the wall and listened quietly to the conversation inside, which was the voices of a young woman and a middle-aged man.

"Hehe, your butler has turned around now. This dead ghost Feng left early, and you have taken over the property and his wife. You don't even think about being discovered, what should you do?"

It was a woman's voice that spoke, and then a middle-aged man's voice came out;
"Ma'am, you can't say that. After all, Feng Yuan is your husband-in-law. You persuaded me to sue and win the property, but you have it. Besides, I'm not satisfied. How nice it is to live a mandarin duck life together."

"Okay, you have to be more careful in everything, what's going on in the city?"

"What's the matter, everything is as usual, I just heard that an imperial envoy has come. Madame, why do you think you are so careful?"

The man was a little impatient. Feng Yuan had died a long time ago, and he was afraid of things. Apart from buying vegetables and using things, he was busy with himself every day. He didn't even have a waiter, so he didn't know what to be afraid of.

"What do you know, Feng Yuan is dead, but it was not my idea to make you sue, it was requested by someone behind the scenes, I was worried about those people, and those who hide their heads and show their tails are not good people."

"Ah, who would be like this, so what should I do?"

The man also knew that there were some things that Shengdou Xiaomin could not provoke, and he was a little scared to hear that there were other secrets in it.

Xue's family was originally a wealthy family, and they were in-laws with honorable status. In Jinling City, no one knew who was not. Feng Yuan didn't know why he was crazy. The corpse was buried, and there was not even a queen. If I hadn't been forced to go to the magistrate's office to file a complaint, how could I have accompanied so much money? go in.

"What are you afraid of? If something happens to us, some people will be worried. Come on, dead ghost."

"Hey, I"

The man seemed to be gagged, and he didn't make a sound, and then there was another obscene sound.

The youngest heard it clearly, some things are really confusing, although he was a little itchy, he didn't stay any longer, and left when he had time.

There is no one here in the warehouse of the prefect of Jinling, only an old servant stays here to clean and tidy up, and the fourth child usually comes to help.

This time, when we arrived at Houyamen, at noon, everyone went to rest.

At the back of the yamen, seeing no one there, the fourth child turned around and hid in a warehouse, nodded to the person at the door, and then walked in to find out what happened to Jinling back then, only to see Chen There was a file of the fire on the desk, and I flipped through it, and took out that page.

The fourth child also got the file as he wished, put it in his arms, and then walked out of the yamen, took a few steps around, and hid in the alley.

Zhen Jia,

Inside the mansion hall,
"Second brother, you deliver the letter in person, and come back to prepare the dinner after delivering it. Let him personally arrange the imperial cook that was given to the Zhen family in the palace back then. Don't embarrass the Zhen family."

After Mother Zhen finished writing the letter and sealed the envelope, she handed it to Zhen Yingjia and explained.

"Yes, mother, don't worry, the son knows what to do, but the son doesn't understand why the court let Luo Yunhou go south as an imperial envoy,"

Zhen Yingjia also couldn't figure it out, this was what the emperor meant, what was his intention, and the smuggled goods from the King of Beijing were getting bigger and bigger.

"People are here, so it's useless to talk about it. It's not that the civil servants are easy to fool. Just do your own thing well. It's not a problem to make Luo Yunhou satisfied. If you hate him, hmph, in the end you will I don't know what will happen, by the way, isn't the Eunuch Zhao, who is in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, coming, and he also called to the banquet together, you must not neglect, this is a close minister."

Although Zhen's mother didn't know the royal family's intentions very well, she also knew that things were nothing more than "talking words". As long as everything was discussed well, it would be a good thing.

As for the emperor's intentions, Jia's mother guessed from the bottom of her heart that it was not because of the emperor.

"Yes, mother, the son has been educated."

Zhen Yingjia also received the letter, got up and resigned, and then arranged for the steward to prepare the carriage and prepare to leave Zhen's mansion and come to the wharf outside the city.

And Zhen's mother was still a little worried, so she asked the mother-in-law beside her to go to the back kitchen to watch, and now she started to prepare and prepare the ingredients.

And at this moment when Zhen Yingjia was about to leave the mansion, the boss of the Zhen family, Zhen Yuandao, also brought people over from his Dongyuan, and those who came all the way came here to say hello.
"Second, where are you going? Just right, my brother has something to ask you."

Zhen Yingjia had something hidden in her heart, and she didn't understand it, so she didn't stop and replied;
"Brother, I still have something important to do, let's talk about it later."

Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, the boss quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhen Yingjia's sleeve,
"Second brother, it's not that we can't be late, it's that it's too late. You know Su Jinkai, the president of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce."

Zhen Yingjia, who was grabbed by her sleeve by her elder brother and had to stop, was also full of helplessness. President Su didn't know, it was the salt merchant, and it wasn't these salt merchants who caused the disaster this time, otherwise How can I let myself send invitations? Thinking about it is a bit annoying.

"I know, why did I mention him, it's just that the grasshopper after autumn can't jump around for a few days."

Zhen Yuandao saw the second younger brother standing there shaking his head, not wanting to talk to him, but he knew in his heart that the second younger brother must know something, so he came over and said;

"Second brother, Su Jinkai asked someone to ask me for help, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he didn't know what to do, so he came here to ask, what happened to Jinling City now, why did Su Jinkai ask for help? .”

Hearing elder brother's evasive questioning, Zhen Yingjia suddenly stopped and turned around to ask;

"Brother, what is your relationship with Su Jinkai?"

The boss, Zhen Yuandao, was taken aback. Seeing the face of the second child changed drastically, he also felt something bad in his heart, so he replied hesitantly;
"It's nothing, it's just that he said that something happened to his business and he needed to meet with you and talk about it."

"Brother, what time is it, and you are still using those words to prevaricate me. Look at the letter in my hand. It is a handwritten letter from my mother. I invited the imperial envoy to my house for a banquet. It is tonight. You said that he will come to see you at this time. What's on your mind?"

Zhen Yingjia was also annoyed in her heart, resenting her elder brother for not being able to distinguish between priorities and priorities.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I just ate some dried stocks before, and Jinling Yanyin can distribute 30 taels of silver every year. It's not on my head, so I can't ignore it."

The boss also told the truth, which made Zhen Yingjia so angry that he tossed his sleeves and said;
"No, don't see you again. I think Luo Yunhou understands this matter in his heart. Su Jinkai is a good-looking man, so he will find a way. We have our business, and we still don't understand some things, so we can't get involved. This time it's going to be dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the house directly, and left the boss in the backyard. He lost his mind for a while, and the steward behind him also whispered;

"My lord, what's the matter? Su Jinkai is still waiting in the lobby."

"You ask me, who do I ask, this person is the same, don't say anything, how do I know how to save him, go, go back and tell him that there is no way."

Zhen Yuandao also wanted to push [-] and was about to ignore it, but the steward said again;

"Then, my lord, what should I do with the silver that has always been in the past? This is quite a lot."

Zhen Yuandao chuckled lightly,
"What to do, what can be done, just put it away, as for the others, I'm still afraid of him, but remind him, in the end it can only depend on his own good fortune."

"Hey"

Walk back with a sigh.

In the alley of Shili Street outside Changmen, Zhao Mo brought some ashes from the soil after inspection, and then walked back from the other side as if nothing had happened.

Arriving at the stronghold in the city,
It's three o'clock in the unitary hour,

At this time, the third and fourth children in the house had already arrived, and when Zhao Mo saw them coming, he poured a cup of tea for each of them and asked;

"Is there any gain?"

"Yes, Commander, this is a secret block."

The fourth child took out the secret cover from his arms and handed it up. Zhao Mo looked at it and it was similar to what he had inquired about, put it away, looked at the third child, and asked;
"Third, what about you?"

"Commander, I personally went to Feng Yuan's old house, and found that after Feng Yuan's death, his housekeeper seized the property and his wife, and dismissed the servants. Only the two of them were here, living in seclusion. The woman said that the housekeeper sued There may be someone who instructed me about Xue Pan, but I don't know who."

"Got it, be careful and go back."

"Yes, Commander."

When Zhao Mo heard this, he had a rough outline in his heart without hesitation, so he took his things and went to the guard camp.

Outside the city, in the camp of the guards,
After Xue's mother and others left, Zhang Jinyu went back to the house to catch up on sleep. She had just woken up at this time. Although her body was still a little lacking, she was much better than last night after all.

As soon as he got out of the hatch, he saw Ning Bian walking up the upstairs boat,

"Lord Hou, Zhao Mo, the leader of the Jiangnan Dark Guards, asked to see him, saying that he has news."

"Oh, so quickly, ask him to come in and talk."

Zhang Jinyu's spirit was shaken, and she thought to herself very quickly, and she also turned around and sat down in the room in the cabin, thinking that after so long, there would be no sound, and she suddenly thought, isn't the so-called Gourd Temple just Jia? Yucun is inside, because Jia Yucun first lived in the Gourd Temple, and later because of Xue Pan's case, there was a "Gourd Monk Judging the Gourd Case" happened.

Hey, I don’t want to repay my kindness, but help me to do evil. I can’t describe Jia Yucun as a white-eyed wolf. Everyone in Jia’s family is blind. Suddenly, it seems that the letter of introduction was written by Lin Ruhai first. The people of the Jia family, could it be that they stumbled?
After a while, Ning Bian walked in with Zhao Mo, and as soon as he entered the door, Zhao Mo knelt down and made a big salute;
"Subordinate Zhao Mo, pay homage to Lord Hou."

Zhang Jinyu looked over, and saw a man who was not tall and had a very ordinary appearance, a man who looked like the kind of people who would soon forget the same face after seeing him in the crowd, and was wearing ordinary clothes. Seeing it, I admire it in my heart, it's a good method.

"Please hurry up. This Marquis has also heard about Commander Zhao. Sure enough, being famous is not as good as seeing him. You are really a great talent."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your praise. This subordinate is ashamed."

Zhang Jinyu suddenly asked;
"Have you found anything?"
