Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 414 A desperate move

Chen Guozi glanced at Jia Rui, then lowered his head and said, "There is no longer any threat to Prince Yizhong. Please be patient and let him live."

Jia Rui was silent for a long time, then looked at Chen Guozi and said, "People change. Who knows when you will suddenly have thoughts that you shouldn't have?"

"Sir, if you are worried, you can imprison him in the royal palace in the capital and let him die for the rest of his life." Chen Guozi implored excitedly.

Jia Rui shook his head silently, closed his eyes and stopped looking at Chen Guozi.

Chen Guozi looked disappointed, then stood up, bowed respectfully to Jia Rui, and then staggered away.

Jia Rui looked at his back without any pity, but with an expression of indifference.

Chen Guozi returned to his house and immediately locked himself in the study without seeing anyone.

He stayed in the study until midnight and then came out.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, he came to a small yard selling tofu next to his mansion.

This small stall selling tofu is run by a couple. It is already midnight, but the stone grinder for grinding tofu has not stopped and is still working hard.

The husband is pushing the grinder and the wife is delivering the beans. Everything is so harmonious.

Chen Guozi opened the door and came in as if he was entering his own home.

The husband's eyes fell on Chen Guozi, he paused for a moment, and his wife immediately said dissatisfiedly: "I can't make it in time, hurry up."

The husband immediately lowered his head and continued to grind.

Chen Guozi walked to the stone mill and watched the couple working.

It wasn't until all the beans in the wife's hands were used up that the husband stopped.

The wife put the basin aside, then picked up the towel from her body, wiped her hands, and then wiped her husband's sweat.

"What are you doing here?" asked the wife.

"The time has come for you to repay your kindness."

When the wife heard this, her face froze, but she quickly calmed down.

"What is it?"

"Today's Prime Minister Jia Rui deceives the emperor, uses the emperor to control the princes, and kills the emperor's relatives indiscriminately. Heaven is angry and people are angry. I hope you will perform a chivalrous act and strike with thunder." Chen Guozi said with an eager face.

"Didn't you say back then that you couldn't use my little trick? Why did you come here again?" The wife's face was very disdainful.

Chen Guozi was actually very helpless.

When he returned to the court, he was full of confidence, thinking that by virtue of his favor with the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor would definitely use him.

When I came back, I found that the Emperor almost doted on Jia Rui as a son.

At the beginning, he didn't care much, thinking that with his position in the heart of the Supreme Emperor, how could this boy compete with him.

As a result, in front of the Supreme Emperor, he was at most an ordinary confidant, while Jia Rui was the Supreme Emperor's heart and soul.

Because of this, he was unable to use many tricks. In addition, he had been away from the court for a long time, and the ministers were not as talkative as before, and the emperor did not give him any important errands. , just letting him assist Jia Rui, which suppressed Chen Guozi's methods.

However, this old man is not someone who gives up easily. After entering the cabinet, he also argued with Jia Rui for a period of time. Although on the surface it seemed like a back-and-forth, he always lost at the critical moment.

This time the Supreme Emperor passed away, and Chen Guozi lost his face even more.

Without his knowledge, Jia Rui actually controlled the entire court and all the soldiers in the world, which made him a little overwhelmed.

In order to fulfill someone's entrustment, Chen Guozi now had to use someone he had long disliked.

"It's useless to talk about this now. You just want to say whether we can do it or not?" Chen Guozi simply acted rogue.

The wife glanced at Chen Guozi, then lowered her head and said, "My junior sister is now Jia Rui's concubine. There should be many masters of hidden killings around her, but I'm not sure."

Chen Guozi looked at his wife in surprise: "Why don't I know about such an important thing?"

The wife silently took a piece of clothing for her husband and put it on him. Then she said to Chen Guozi: "One time my junior sister went to offer incense and I saw her maid on the roadside."

Chen Guozi thought for a moment, and then said: "Jia Rui is a lustful person, so it's better to use this as a plan."

The wife looked at her husband blankly, then reached out and touched his face. The husband smiled honestly at his wife, his eyes full of love and trust.

The wife finally had a smile on her face, and then turned to Chen Guozi and said, "This is an absolute must. I only owe you my life, but I owe him several lifetimes of kindness."

After the wife finished speaking, she turned around and said to Chen Guozi: "I promised you to do something back then, and you just said that I will do it for you within two days. Whether it succeeds or not depends on destiny."

Chen Guozi nodded and said no more, turned around and left the small courtyard.

After Chen Guoxin left, the wife took her husband back to the house, and then asked him to sit on the bed. She fetched a basin of warm water from outside, walked to the bed and knelt down to take off her husband's shoes.

The man quickly stopped him, but the wife insisted on pushing her husband's hand away, "You wash my feet every day, today it's my turn to serve you."

There were tears on the husband's face, but there was a smile in his eyes. In this way, the wife slowly washed her husband's feet, poured out the water, and returned to her husband's side.

"Since I followed you, I haven't hid anything from you. You heard what I said just now. There are some things I have to do. After I leave, you can find a new wife and give birth to a son and a half. Don’t waste any more time on me.”

When she said this, the tears on her face fell like raindrops.

The husband looked at his wife with a smile on her face, nodded gently, and then held her in his arms.

Besides, Jia Rui came out of the mansion again and walked to the palace.

He has walked this road countless times, and he is naturally familiar with it. In addition, there are hundreds of guards beside him. He thinks that he will enter the palace as easily as before and handle today's official business.

While passing by a relatively bustling small market, Jia Rui specifically asked the soldiers to slow down and not to bump into the people doing business and shopping.

Jia Rui also raised the sedan curtain and looked at the daily life of the people outside with great interest.

An old lady selling wontons was asking the customers to move inside so as not to bump into the official's carriage.

There was a stall selling sesame cakes not far away. When they saw Jia Rui and the others coming, they quickly picked them up and hid aside.

There were also vegetable sellers who also protected their vegetables, fearing that they would be hit by Jia Rui's team.

There was also a tofu stall not far away, and the couple were pushing the stall and hiding behind it.

This scene in the market made Jia Rui feel relaxed and happy.

He has been away from these ordinary people for a long time, and now when he thinks about it, he still misses the carefree life at that time.

The sedan passed by a tofu stall, and the tofu seller's wife turned to Jia Rui's side involuntarily.

Jia Rui also caught a glimpse of the wife and was stunned for a moment.

Because this wife is so beautiful, only Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin can be compared with her in his own house.

But this woman has a heroic spirit that the two of them don't have.

Set off by this heroic spirit, this woman is very graceful.

And the wife also showed a smile at this time. Under the background of this smile, the whole person was like the sun attracting the attention of the surrounding people.

Jia Rui couldn't help but become a little crazy.

Just as Jia Rui's sedan was about to pass by, the wife suddenly waved her hand, and a two-inch-long steel needle flew out of her sleeve.

The steel needle went straight to Jia Rui's face with lightning speed.

Faced with this situation, Jia Rui woke up from his confusion. If he were an ordinary person, in this situation, he would only have to wait for death.

Fortunately, Jia Rui had a special skill. With a sharp move of his hand, a masculine finger force shot out from his finger and hit the steel needle.

The steel needle was very powerful. Although it was hit by Yiyang's finger, it only tilted a little and continued to fly forward.

However, it was just such a slight tilt that allowed Jia Rui to narrowly avoid the surprise attack.

At this time, the four guards next to Jia Rui rushed over.

These four guards are masters of hidden killings. Hualan specially placed them beside Jia Rui to protect him.

After coming to Jia Rui, Jia Rui used his own methods to control these guards, and then taught some wonderful skills to improve the martial arts of these four people.

When the wife saw the four people coming over, her eyes flashed. He also had an impression of these people.

They were indeed masters of hidden killing, but the wife didn't take it to heart because she had confidence in her skills.

But what happened next left my wife stunned.

I saw these four people arriving in front of my wife at a speed that ordinary people could not imagine, and then each of them had a steel needle in their hands.

The four steel needles went straight to several large acupuncture points on the wife's body at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The wife didn't even have a chance to react before she was hit. After that, she stood there stunned and unable to move.

When the husband behind his wife saw this scene, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to roar, but in the end it was just a murmur of ahhh, and no words of actual meaning came out.

One of the four men turned around and came to the husband's side. Then he raised his hand and slapped the husband. The husband was hit and flew several meters away, and then fell to the wall on the side of the road. After that, he started vomiting blood.

From the corner of her eye, the wife saw her husband being severely injured, with despair and pity in her eyes.

But soon she felt relieved, and her eyes became gentle. She kept looking at her husband with her peripheral vision, and her eyes could no longer tolerate anything else.

Although the husband's chest was beaten to pieces, his eyes did not leave his wife. He looked at his wife's gentle eyes and smiled himself.

At this time, other people in the market reacted, and then they became a mess and ran away in all directions.

At this time, Jia Rui's soldiers also rushed forward to protect Jia Rui's sedan in the middle.
