King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 349
Besides, after Zhang Ping'an received the mission, he immediately headed towards the Dragon Imperial Guard.

In Zhu Jinghong's hands, although Deng An was the most important, Zhang Ping'an was also relied upon because of his proper handling of affairs.

Going to Ningguo Mansion to bring Jia Zhen back is not that simple. What if Jia Zhen commits a crime and refuses to follow her?
Zhang Ping'an took these situations into consideration, so when selecting guards, he had to be targeted.

The simplest principle is that the selected guards should not deal with the Jia family. There are many such people in the Dragon Guards, but the first thing Zhang Pingan thought of was Hou Jing.

"Captain Hou, are you on duty today?"

Zhang Ping'an was lucky. After looking for him, he actually met Hou Jing, who was talking to his brothers.

"Yesterday was off and the day before yesterday was off. I am on duty today. Does Eunuch Zhang have anything to do with me?" Hou Jing answered with a smile.

"The Thirteenth Master sent an errand and asked the servant to take the guards to the Ningguo Mansion and bring Jia Zhen into the palace!"

Hou Jing was bored at first, but immediately became energetic after hearing these words.

"Is this happening? Did Jia Zhen offend the Thirteenth Master again?" Hou Jing asked curiously.

"I don't know the inside story, but I don't know who is free and would like to come with me!" Zhang Ping'an said in a very humble tone.

"Forget it, let's go with you!" Hou Jing and the others simply replied.

Zhang Ping'an was overjoyed and replied: "Then I'll help you all!"

"Let's go!"

…………

In Ningguo Mansion, it was very lively on the occasion of the New Year.

The front hall was full of guests. In addition to some members of the Jia family, there were also some friends of Jia Zhen, who were drinking tea and chatting at the moment.

A stage was set up in the courtyard outside the hall, and a group of musicians were playing, singing and dancing, which made the place lively.

As the host, Jia Zhen Shi Shiran came out of the back house after having an argument with the girl in the house.

Thinking that in two days, she will be able to get the Qin family girl, Jia Zhen's whole person feels sweet from the inside out.

However, when he came to the front hall and saw his son sitting in the main seat, chatting and laughing with a group of young and old, Jia Zhen's face suddenly turned ugly.

"uh-huh……"

Hearing this voice, Jia Rong, who was hesitating between words, suddenly became alert and stood up as if there were springs on his butt.

Facing his father's unkind gaze, Jia Rong carefully saluted: "Master!"

Walking to the center of the room, when others were greeting him, Jia Zhenpi said with a smile: "Look... I haven't even sat down yet, but he is actually enjoying it!"

Before Jia Rong could ask for mercy, Jia Zhen looked at the accompanying boy and scolded: "Spit on him!"

Letting a young boy spit on his master is a novelty in other places, but it is really not surprising to Jia Zhen. At least all the people present have heard of it.

But when this kind of thing really happened in front of their eyes, everyone still found it unbelievable.

The boy didn't dare to disobey Jia Zhen, so he walked up to Jia Rong and spit in his face.

"The master didn't even have a seat, why did my brother enjoy it first!"

Jia Rong looked like a doormat at the moment, but in her heart she was already furious, and she really hated her father even more than her enemies.

"Why don't you get out?" Jia Zhen scolded again.

Without even daring to wipe the spittle off his body, Jia Rong lowered his head and retreated, but today he was angrier than before.

Now that he was an alternate Dragon Guard, he had an official status at least, so he boasted to the guests about how powerful he was, and to be so humiliated in the blink of an eye was really a loss of face.

At this point, the last trace of father-son affection in Jia Rong's heart was gone, and all that was left was hatred for Jia Zhen.

However, as soon as he exited the hall, he saw a servant coming in from outside, so Jia Rong slowed down, wanting to see what was going on.

"Master, there are people coming from the palace..."

As soon as the man finished speaking, Jia Rong saw someone coming outside, a eunuch with seven guards. The leading guard was Hou Jing from the Xiuguo Gong family.Seeing that this was an unkind person, Jia Zhen rushed out to greet him, while Jia Rong consciously stepped aside and gave way for more than ten steps.

"Dare to ask..."

Logically speaking, it was Zhang Ping'an's turn to speak at this time, but Hou Jing bypassed him and said coldly, holding her saber in her hand: "Jia Zhen, the Thirteenth Master summons you to the palace!"

"Call me into the palace?" Jia Zhen looked at Zhang Pingan.

"Exactly, come with me now!" Zhang Pingan stepped forward and said.

"I wonder why Thirteenth Master summoned me?"

Before Zhang Pingan could explain, he heard Hou Jing scolding: "The Thirteenth Master has issued an urgent order. Anyone who dares to ask him why should follow us quickly!"

Hou Jing's eager look shocked Zhang Ping'an beside him. This guy looked more like a lackey than him.

How could Zhang Ping'an know that the reason why Hou Jing took the initiative to stir up trouble was actually because of personal grudges, or factional fighting would be more appropriate.

With the reconciliation between the emperor and the emperor, the nobles who were suppressed in the past have the tendency to rise, which will inevitably squeeze the interests of the ministers who followed the dragon.

Now that Yuanchun has been crowned the crown princess again, although no one dares to jump under the shock of the emperor, if he uses Zhu Jinghong's signboard to clean up the Jia family, Hou Jing still has some guts.

From this point of view, Hou Jing seems not to be absolutely loyal to Zhu Jinghong, but this just shows that everyone is loyal to interests.

What Zhu Jinghong has to do is to represent the interests of more people, so that he can naturally secure his position.

Jia Zhen also has a temper. Now that her sisters have become princesses, they will not be manipulated by Hou Jing at will.

"The Thirteenth Lord wanted to summon me. I should have gone to see him, but now the palace is strictly restricted, and I dare not trespass!"

No matter how lame the reason is, as long as it expresses opposition, it is enough.

Unexpectedly, Hou Jing couldn't help but order: "Take it down!"

Several guards behind him did not hesitate and stepped forward to control Jia Zhen from left to right. Some even kicked his calf, making Jia Zhen kneel down without dignity in front of the guests.

All the guests were in an uproar, but no one dared to speak up. This shows what kind of people Jia Zhen has friends with.

The most important thing is that Jia Rong, who is watching from a distance, is unmoved and even hopes that the guards will be more cruel.

Looking up at Hou Jing, Jia Zhen scolded angrily: "From the Hou family, I attacked a first-class baron, a powerful general of the third rank in the imperial court, how dare you insult me ​​like this!"

Hou Jing was unmoved. He leaned down and patted Jia Zhen's face, and said slowly: "I think your status is more noble than the Thirteenth Master, right?"

"you……"

How could Hou Jing talk nonsense with him? He immediately said: "Take him away!"

"Stop them!" Jia Zhen shouted.

But the person who wanted to take him away was Ouchi's bodyguard, and the people from the Jia family at the scene dared not do anything, they all advanced or retreated.

As for the guests of the Jia family, all of them looked at them from afar, with no intention of coming forward to make peace.

Seeing Jia Zhen being taken out, someone shouted to Jia Rong: "Uncle Rong, hurry up and send a message to Xifu and let the two masters come up with an idea!"

In this regard, Jia Rong had no enthusiasm at all. He just nodded and went to the inner house.

Fortunately, there was Youshi in this family. When the news reached her ears, Youshi hurried to Xifu after asking about the situation.

At this moment, the Rongguo Mansion was still immersed in the joy of the New Year. The old lady Jia Mu was leaning on the couch, listening to the stories told by the two storytellers.

Yuanyang squatted in front of the couch and beat his legs. He and the other girls were also listening attentively. It was obvious that the content of the story fascinated them.

"Excuse me, old lady, Grandma You is here!"

As soon as the maid's voice fell, Jia Mu heard the sound of crying, and the next moment Youshi appeared in front of her.
