The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 329 Frankness

Feng Ziying kicked Feng En over, and was about to step forward to catch him, but the latter wiped his neck directly, blood spurted out from the carotid artery, and he lost his breath in an instant. At this moment, Feng Bao, who had one of his legs removed, also stopped struggling due to excessive blood loss. His eyes gradually became blurred, his head tilted, and there was no movement at all.

Feng Ziying looked at the two bloody corpses on the ground, as if they were petrified. The knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. She turned around slowly, looked at Jia Huan with a bitter expression and said: "Brother Huan, I will explain it no matter what I do now." , can’t you explain it clearly?”

At this time, Tiehu and Dai Shilin finally arrived. Seeing such a scene, their expressions changed drastically. Tiehu quickly stepped forward with his iron sword in hand, protected Jia Huan, and shouted angrily: "Old Feng, what do you want to do? Come on, take him down!"

The cavalry under Tiehu's command only listened to him. After hearing this, they immediately rushed forward to capture Feng Ziying, but Jia Huan stopped him and said: "Stop!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers under Tiehu's command subconsciously stopped and looked at their boss, feeling in a dilemma.

"Don't get me wrong, Huzi, it was Brother Feng who saved me just now." Jia Huan explained.

Tiehu said in shock: "Third Master, what is going on? Feng Bao and Feng En are both Feng Ziying's personal soldiers."

Jia Huan said calmly: "Feng Bao and Feng En are just undercover agents sent to Brother Feng. These two just tried to assassinate me and snatch the account book while I was bathing. Fortunately, Brother Feng arrived in time and saved me."

Feng Ziying glanced at Jia Huan in surprise, then lowered her head and remained silent.

General Tiehu glanced at Feng Ziying suspiciously, then looked at the two corpses on the ground, frowned and said: "Now that there is no evidence of death, how can the third master be sure that these two people were not instigated by Feng Ziying? Maybe they were killed just to silence them."

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Before Huzi comes quickly, Brother Feng has every chance to kill me too."

Tiehu fell silent after hearing this. At this time, a soldier found Jinbao and Muye lying in the corner of the vegetable garden. Fortunately, they were only knocked unconscious and there was no fear of their lives. Obviously, Feng Bao and Feng En Before starting the assassination, they first knocked out Jin Mu and Jin Mu who were guarding outside the vegetable garden.

Feng Ziying sighed, stretched out her hands and said, "I'm very grateful to Brother Huan for trusting me, but this matter has nothing to do with me. Tiehu, you'd better tie me up."

Tiehu was not polite when he heard this, and personally stepped forward and tied Feng Ziying's hands. Because of Dai Li's killing, he had already suspected Feng Ziying. Now that something like this happened again, he naturally had more reason to doubt. Everything is for the sake of Third Master's safety. I would rather believe that he has it than that he doesn't have it.

Dai Shilin was originally a member of Feng Ziying's command. Seeing this, he couldn't help but be in a dilemma. Finally, he knelt down on one knee in front of Jia Huan and begged for mercy: "Master Huan Mingjian, if Feng Qianhu has evil intentions towards you, he will go to Datongshan that day." It’s time to start, why wait until now?”

Tie Hu retorted: "The third master didn't have any account books at that time. Xiao Dai, I know that you and Feng Ziying are on good terms, but the matter is very important. There is no need for you to get involved and cause trouble."

Feng Ziying was a little moved and said: "Xiao Dai, you value love and righteousness. It seems that I didn't misjudge you at the beginning, but this matter involves too much and it is definitely not something you can get involved in. If you don't do it, you will get burned. Good brother, thank you. Thank you for your kindness."

Dai Shilin also knew that the water in the account book was very deep, and even the Prince Yi Zhong's palace was involved. It was indeed beyond the control of a rootless family like him, so he could only stand up uneasily.

Jia Huan looked at Feng Ziying and said: "Since Feng Qianhu insists, he will be offended. Huzi, take Feng Qianhu back to the side hall. I want to interrogate him personally."

Tiehu asked people to take Feng Ziying to the side hall, and personally searched the bodies of Feng En and Feng Bao, but found nothing valuable.

Jia Huan returned to the vegetable garden and picked up the double-barreled short gun that fell on the ground. When Tie Hu and others saw the long gun still stuck on the bathroom door, they couldn't help but gasped.

"Thank you to Third Master for being clever, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." Tie Hu said fearfully: "No, after the stone is healed, I'd better let him stay with Third Master for protection. Jin Bao and Mu Ye are too inferior!"

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "No, Shitou managed to become a hundred households with great difficulty, there is no need to hinder his future."

"Our future is not given to you by Third Master. If that boy Shitou is not happy, I will beat the crap out of him. At worst, I won't be a member of this family anymore. I'll just stay with Third Master." Tiehu said solemnly.

Jia Huan was very moved and said with a straight face: "Tiger, don't be impulsive, but don't forget what I told you before. The Jin Dynasty may be in chaos in the next few years. If you and Shitou develop in the army, I When we fight in the court, we can take care of each other and help each other. If we advance, we can make achievements, and if we retreat, we can settle down and settle down. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”

Tiehu couldn't help but wake up. During the three years of guarding the army in Jinling, the third master studied hard in the cold window while studying the art of war with himself and Shitou, practicing riding and archery for thousands of days and nights.

It is obvious that the Third Master has been preparing for the coming troubled times a few years ago. Now the Jin Dynasty seems to be strong, but chaos is indeed rising. In the northeast, there is the increasingly powerful Hou Jin, and the Tatars in the north are also grinding. The swords are flying, and now there is another banditry in the wealthy land of Jiangnan, which is even more damaging to the vitality.

It can be seen that the third master's prediction is undoubtedly correct, and I am afraid that the situation in Dajin will be even worse in the future.

Thinking of this, Tiehu admired the third master's foresight even more, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will continue to stay in the army and develop, but Shitou must return to the third master, otherwise I will come back to guard the third master and let Shitou stay." Hearing this, Jia Huan had no choice but to say: "That's it, let Shitou come back. He is far inferior to you in terms of killing enemies in battle, and he is far from being as capable as you in terms of resourcefulness."

Seeing that Jia Huan finally agreed, Tiehu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Do you think what happened tonight was Feng Ziying's fault?"

Jia Huan pondered: "Probably not. If it were him, it shouldn't be so rough. He has every chance to arrange it more seamlessly."

Tiehu frowned and said, "If it's not him, who could it be? Could it be his father, General Feng Tang?"

Jia Huan nodded and said, "It's also possible!"

Feng Ziying's father, Feng Tang, was the commander of the Yulin Guards. He was originally a capable general under the Supreme Emperor Kangping. Even after the Supreme Emperor retired, he often accompanied the Supreme Emperor on hunting trips. In other words, Feng Tang was a member of the Supreme Emperor's lineage. , naturally do not want the account book to fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, causing the downfall of Prince Yizhong. Moreover, Feng En and Feng Bao were originally servants of the Feng family, so it was normal for them to follow the orders of the head of the family, Feng Tang.

However, this account book also involves another big shot. Once exposed, it will really shake the country. No wonder this group of people did everything possible, including poisoning, assassination, and ambushes. Dai Li even took risks , using Yangzhou guards to attack his and Yi Hong's camps.

The more Jia Huan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he even began to worry about the safety of Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu. Yi Hong had rushed back to Yangzhou to interrogate Kang Lingcheng a few days ago. If the news that Kang Lingcheng was not dead came out, would this group of people take risks again?
Thinking of this, Jia Huan broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly left the vegetable garden and came to the side hall of Xue's family temple.

At this moment, butter candles were burning in the side hall. Feng Ziying tied her hands and stood there silently, waiting for Jia Huan. Her expression was changing, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Brother Feng has been waiting for a long time." Jia Huan stepped forward, personally untied Feng Ziying, poured a cup of tea and said: "Brother Feng, please sit down, let's have a good chat."

Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, then sat down opposite Jia Huan, and said a little unnaturally: "Brother Huan, what did you find out?"

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "Feng Bao and Feng En don't have anything of value on them, and there is no evidence to support their deaths. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out who is behind the scenes."

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Feng Ziying's eyes, and she said solemnly: "Whether Brother Huan believes it or not, they were not instigated by me."

Jia Huan said solemnly: "I believe it, I believe they were not ordered by Brother Feng, but it's hard for your father to say."

Feng Ziying's expression changed, and she said a little excitedly: "What evidence does Brother Huan have? Is it because my father has a close relationship with the Supreme Emperor?"

Jia Huan glanced at Feng Ziying in surprise, shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything."

"But that's what you think in your heart." Feng Ziying said solemnly, with anger hidden on her face.

Jia Huan frowned and said, "Brother Feng, please be patient. If I don't trust you, why don't I just hand you over to the Jinyi Guards for interrogation?"

Feng Ziying fell silent, picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. After a long time, she said in a deep voice: "My father retired last year and no longer served as the commander of the Yulin Guards. He also held the idle post in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Resign, now he is just an old man who grows flowers and grass. As a son, I don’t have much ability. I just want him to enjoy his old age, that’s all!”

Jia Huan sighed and said, "Brother Feng is very filial, so you killed Dai Li?"

Feng Ziying nodded and said: "Yes, I had a chance to capture Dai Li alive, but this damn guy actually said that he had a personal relationship with my father, and also mentioned that he had worked with my father. Brother Huan, you know Yi Hong's urine. , If Dai Li talks nonsense in front of him, my father will be in trouble, so I will not stop and kill him. I, Feng Ziying, will do the work alone, and Brother Huan will deal with me alone. I hope my family will not be implicated. ”

Jia Huan shook his head and said: "Brother Feng is worrying too much. I am not a royal guard, so the trouble will not harm my family."

Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, Brother Xie Huan, if you want to kill or behead him now, it's up to Brother Huan to handle it."

Jia Huan picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Feng Ziying. He smiled and said, "Feng Qianhu killed the rebel Dai Li. What crime did he commit?"

Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment and said: "Then Feng Bao and Feng En..."

"These two spies have nothing to do with Brother Feng. I will continue to find out the truth." Jia Huan said with a smile.

Feng Ziying was surprised and happy. She stood up and gave Jia Huan a firm hug and said, "Brother Huan, I knew you wouldn't add insult to injury."
