Volume VI

6.25 Jia Baoyu: I can't talk about things in the house?

Zhou Yang did not take Jia Mu's "gift" in vain. For a whole day, Jia Rong, the former heir of Ningguo who had basically no sense of existence during his lifetime, was really called "extremely sad and honorable" after his death. The four kings and six princes were not missing. , all those who came were the most important figures, and King Beijing even came in person, which was a great deal of face.

More than [-] households in the three major camps are basically present. Even if the entire imperial martial arts and military generals line does not send any core figures, at least their children and nephews will come to attend the occasion; not to mention the old relatives and old friendships in the Jia family, what are they? The idle clans such as Leshan County King also sent people over, so that from morning to night, the whole funeral was never silent.

Even as evening approached, Princess Yongchang sent her "number one confidant" Dongfang Bing. However, as a female relative, she did not show up at the main hall of Tieksuan Temple. Although her name was sung in front of her, she only went to the family members' side of the backyard to pay their respects. Even if the anger is over - of course, the main reason why she came here in person is definitely not for Jia Rong.

That night, the VIP guest room in the backyard of Tieshan Temple.

"Didn't find out?" Zhou Yang was taken aback for a moment.

"There is no evidence of death." Dongfang Bing shook his head helplessly, "The old slave was found, but only one body was left. There is no problem with his identity. He is indeed an old man named Xue. He was in the capital headquarters more than ten years ago. .

He has never been married in his life, has no children, no relatives, and no family. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Others know very little about this person. He usually does not like to communicate. His only hobby is drinking by himself at night. , Xue Zihao simply packed a room for him in the warehouse, which was both his errand and his home. "

"Anzi." Zhou Yang knew there was no chance as soon as he heard this. "The identity of the warehouse manager makes it convenient for him to do things in the warehouse. As long as he opens the door under darkness one night, he can put whatever he wants inside easily; he can't check it. Forget it, what about the coffin? Masonry coffins are really precious, and ordinary people can't afford to buy them."

"Prince Yizhong is currently in captivity. The princess used a hidden line to contact and inquire. It was indeed Chitose who made the coffin back then, but it disappeared after the original incident. It was useless when Chitose was buried." Dongfang Bing was equally depressed. , "The matter was very big at first, and there were too many people capable of manipulating it, and there was no way to investigate it."

"Then let's leave it alone for now. It would be a waste of manpower to investigate again." Zhou Yang knew that there was no chance, so he had to make up for it. "On the other hand, the manpower of Xue Zihao and even my own hospital must be carefully sorted out. They used to have low status. It’s not that troublesome. There are too many calculations now, and I’m afraid I’ll stumble if I’m not careful; I’ll go to the palace as soon as possible to explain the matter clearly.”

"That's what the princess ordered." Dongfang Bing nodded, "What she means is that we will go to the palace to pay homage together tomorrow. You will go to His Majesty's side, and she will go to the Queen Mother's side. No matter what, there should be no flaws. Now it doesn't matter. If there is any trouble in the future, it will explode if you are not careful."

"Then it's settled." Zhou Yang nodded, "I just happened to ask for leave from the meeting today, so I will just report the situation tomorrow."

"Since that's the case, I won't delay any longer. I'll go back and report to the princess." Seeing the situation finished, Dongfang Bing got up and was about to leave.

"Is Dongfang Qianhu's official business so busy? We haven't been close to each other for at least a month, right?" Zhou Yang pulled a certain guard back into his arms and said very dissatisfied, "Even Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot do anything. Disregarding the relationship between husband and wife, using people as livestock!"

This is really not pretentious on his part. Dongfang Bing and Princess Yongchang have not interacted closely with him for some time.

With Dai Quan finished, or rather being taken away by Princess Yongchang, most of the royal secret guards fell into her hands. At present, the queen and Guo Kai's mother and son basically only have Qiu Shi'an left as the secret guards. The small half that was brought over from the Supreme Emperor and mainly focused on palace protection.

If there are any other intelligence channels, then we can only count the Jinyi Army in the hands of Zhao Quan. However, today, a hundred years after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, this group of people can only do some dirty work and attack the periphery. It would definitely work to let them inquire about some roadside news. It would be too difficult to dig deep and conduct a thorough investigation. To put it bluntly, if the Queen Mother and her son want to truly keep the news flowing, it will be nonsense without the support of Princess Yongchang.

As a result, the workload in this area has naturally increased significantly. Although Princess Yongchang has long adopted the "staff group" system suggested by Zhou Yang, she still has to make the final decision herself. She gets busy and serves as the "first confidant" "Don't even think about being idle for Dongfang Bing. As a result, someone will not be able to eat it.

"Then hurry up -" The girls were not without need. Dongfang Bing allowed someone to push him down after a moment's hesitation. He squinted his eyes and said softly, "The princess is still waiting for my reply. No matter what, it has to be at Haishi." I rushed back to Zijin Street before—well, hurry up." Even if it was dark and early in winter, Zhou Yang couldn't "sunrise and rest at sunset". Anyway, there was enough time, and he came here again today When handling the funeral, there was no girl by his side, so he just attacked fiercely, which made Dongfang Bing enjoy it a lot, and he didn't miss the time. The result was that when the girl left with satisfaction, there was still half an hour before Haishi - what? , the city gate is closed?Is this a problem?

Out of boredom, he simply took advantage of the newly rising moonlight to pass the time by strolling in the backyard garden of Tiekan Temple. Although it was called a "temple", it was actually the family temple of the Jia family in Jinling, and it also received foreign visitors on weekdays. , but the function of "home" is preserved on a large scale, and sufficient guest rooms and recreational places are specially reserved, and the garden is just one of them.

This time for Jia Rong's funeral, basically all members of the Jia family were dispatched. The male guests stayed at Tiejuan Temple and the female family stayed at Mantou Nunnery. It was exactly the same as Qin Keqing's funeral in the original work. In fact, it was also a common arrangement for the Jia family's funeral for a long time. The people who came were not simply In addition to the second wife of Prince Xing who was looking after the house, those attending or taking care of the funeral were also Jia She, Jia Zheng and even Jia's mother.

On the one hand, this is indeed to reflect the "Ningrong unity" of the Jinling Jia family, and on the other hand, it is also the need for the Jia family to "start up". For example, Jia She and Jia Zheng will invite distinguished guests who come to express their condolences to speak - whether they are willing to I would like to talk about it later - in order to expand the "social circle" of the Jia family. I am very tired at the end of the day, so it is not yet midnight, and there are really not many rooms in the guest room area in the backyard that are still lit.

Unfortunately, the garden was not small but did not have much scenery. Zhou Yang soon felt even more bored. He happened to see a yard with lights next to the guest room, so he simply prepared to find someone to talk to.

only--

"Good man, how could I have let you down? I didn't take advantage of the opportunity to come to you today. It makes me want to die." A strange and slightly effeminate male voice sounded like he was pleading with someone.

"You - how can you be so harmful to others?" followed by a crying female voice, "You said you wanted to save me from that fire pit. When I heard you calling someone today, I thought I would have a solution in the future, but you actually called me Together with outsiders, how do you want me to behave in the future?"

"Good sister, we are all brothers, what is the difference between inside and outside?" The voice this time was very familiar, but it also confused Zhou Yang, "It's better to be like this. After this time, I will take you with me tomorrow. When you leave Mantou'an, you can follow Brother Jingqing or do whatever you want, no one will stop you, so just don't worry."

"Second Master Bao is serious?" The female voice softened a lot.

"Can this be false?" The male voice at the beginning hurriedly helped, "Can I still be speechless about the affairs in the house?"

What followed was a sound that he loved to hear, but it shocked Zhou Yang so much that he almost left his body. He hurriedly took a few steps forward, only to see that the window of the guest room in front of him was not even closed tightly. Jia Baoyu was with an outrageously beautiful little boy. , plus a bald-headed little nun, the remaining topics are not very convenient to talk about.

"Qin Zhong?" Zhou Yang glanced at it twice and left indifferently. He was not interested in looking at this. He glanced around and saw a lighted room not far away, so he simply strode over and found that it was Jia Lian's. At this time, he was probably very tired during the day, and he was sitting alone drinking wine—well, not counting the "coquettish" pleasure next to him, it was probably a supper.

Things were really messy today. He silently despised the Jia family's special hobbies. He stepped forward and opened the door. Just in time, there were some things to talk about.

"Brother Zhou?" Jia Lian was stunned for a moment when he saw someone coming in. He took back his left hand from Xing'er and signaled him to go out. Then he stood up with a smile, but his smile looked forced, "I haven't rested after a busy day. ? Just because my brother felt his stomach was empty, he ordered some food and drinks for us to sit together? "

"Brother Lian, you and I, do you really have to be so polite?" Zhou Yang sighed softly, not caring that there was a scrap table on the table, he took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and sat down, and drank a drink first before saying, "Since you came back after your promotion, we brothers haven't been able to sit down and have a good chat together for some days."

"Go out and close the courtyard door." Jia Lian's originally smiling face paused for a moment, and he hesitated for a long time before saying hello to the door. It wasn't until the sound of the courtyard door closing that he heard the sound of closing the courtyard door being heard that he sighed softly and said, "If Brother Zhou I want to talk about Girl Feng's matter, but I actually want an explanation. Anyway, you are still willing to recognize me as your brother."

Zhou Yang didn't expect him to be so direct at all, and was stunned for a while.
