The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 216 Not far from winning the title
Behind the dark door, in the outer study, Jia She looked at the silver notes in his hand again and again. The 1 taels of silver notes, the banknotes of Datong Bank, can be exchanged for silver wherever he goes. This cannot be faked.

After Jia She collected the banknotes, he walked to the inner courtyard with the support of Zhang Cai, "Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for two capable people to speak less. I will follow you out of the city loyally to the master!"

Zhang Cai sensed that this was not an easy matter, so he asked in a different way, "Master, it's hot right now and there's a lot of dust outside. The doctor has said that the more this season is, the more my master's body needs to rest."

Speaking of which, Jia She hasn't gone out for four years. He hides behind the dark door every day, looking at the prosperity of the world outside and the excitement in the city of Shenjing. It has nothing to do with him. Day after day, he faces The hatred of mother and son Zhong has not faded away with the passage of time, but has become more and more resentful.

Jia She was in a good mood. He didn't get angry when Zhang Cai asked. Instead, he turned around and glanced at the black door. "It doesn't hurt to go out of the city occasionally. Look at the weather, it might be a rainy day tomorrow."

On rainy days, the climate is humid, and Jia She will feel much more comfortable when he breathes.

Zhang Cai sent Jia She to the ceremony gate on the third floor. Two beautiful maids came forward to support him. Zhang Cai let go of his hand and stood at the door. He waited until Jia She walked away before leaving.

After leaving the gate, seeing that the night was already deep, the sound of banging came from the end of Ningrong Street. Zhang Cai stood on the platform and straightened his clothes. With his hands behind his back, he slowly turned towards the east and hummed a tune before leaving. The moon seemed to be chasing him.

After walking out of the two arrows, he glanced back and saw that there was no one on the street. Zhang Cai turned back and stopped in front of the east corner door of Ningguohou Mansion, raising his hand to knock on the door.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu hurriedly came back from outside half a moment before Jia Mu and others came back. Hearing that Jia Mu was not there, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly returned to his room, and ordered his attacker to help him change clothes.

The attacker had been waiting for Baoyu for a long time and was so anxious that when he saw him, he came up to him and said, "My ancestor, you are finally back. Where have you gone? It's so late that you are back. Fortunately, you are back." The old lady went over there today, otherwise, just wait!"

"I also know that I have to come back early. I have never come back so late in the past. Today, I just had something to do outside, so I came back late. You have so much to say!"

Seeing that Baoyu was a little annoyed, Xiren was busy and stopped talking. He smelled the scent of him who didn't know where it came from and didn't dare to ask. He just served him to change his clothes and listened to the maid outside saying, " The old lady is back." Xiren's hands and feet became faster and faster.

In the Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Xifeng were sitting or standing. There was only Yuanyang serving beside them. They all said nothing and their expressions were unavoidable solemn, showing that they were in the east just now. The people in the government are feeling useless and have not been able to overcome it at this time.

The maid holding the curtain whispered, "Second Master Bao is here!" The atmosphere in the room relaxed a little. Mother Jia raised her head and looked at the door. She saw Baoyu wearing bright red arrow sleeves and short hair twirling around his head. , are all tied into small braids, ending with red silk, and are gathered to the middle of the crown of the hair. The total braid is one big braid, as black as lacquer. From the top to the tip, there are four big beads in a string, with gold eight treasures falling into the corners, and lights. Below, a full moon face shines brightly, with red lips and white teeth. She looks good. In the past, Jia Mu was very happy to see Baoyu, but today she is full of sadness.

She hurriedly stretched out her hand and said, "My son, come to me!"

As she said that, Jia's mother was already in tears. Mrs. Wang looked at her son and was in a better mood. But seeing Jia's mother like this, she felt the same for a while and wiped away her tears.

Baoyu didn't know what had happened. Seeing that both his grandmother and mother were like this, the excitement he felt when he came back from Junzi Xiao also disappeared. He was suddenly timid and looked at Xifeng at a loss.

Xifeng shed a few tears, rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief until they were red, and secretly twitched the corners of her lips. She felt that what Jia Cong said made some sense. In the eyes of the old lady in this house, Baoyu was the only one. Now, seeing that the eldest girl had left the palace, she had no hope in the future. The tears she shed were not for Yuanchun, but for Baoyu.

Li Wan was even more like a wooden person, even though she was like a mirror in her heart, she was also used to not showing anything on her face, just lowering her head and saying nothing.

Baoyu knelt down in front of Jia Mu. He was a little worried. Maybe it was because he came back late today, which made the old lady angry. However, he was not afraid. No matter how big the wrong thing he had done, The old lady would not scold him or punish him.

"My grandson is unfilial and made the old lady angry. He deserves to be punished!" Baoyu said coquettishly.

Mother Jia was amused and saddened by him, and hugged him into her arms, "If my precious jade is not filial, there will be no filial descendants in the world!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang felt a little more comfortable, but when she thought about Baoyu's future, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. What Jia Cong said today had left a deep impression on her heart. She didn't expect that Jia Cong was such a cruel and ruthless person. Considering that Mrs. Zhong was a man who dared to kill his husband, it is not unusual to raise such a son!
"It's better not to go there in the future!" Jia Mu said, and Mrs. Wang and the other three nodded and said "yes".

Xifeng said "yes" in her mouth, but she disagreed in her heart.

When he returned to his yard and closed the door, Ping'er came up to him and asked, "Why is it so late today? I sent someone to ask, saying that I went to the east. What are you doing in the east at night?"

Xifeng didn't say anything, but gave Ping'er a wink, asking her not to ask questions for the time being, and asked, "Is the Second Master back?"

"I'm back. I'm in the house and I just washed my feet."

The two of them entered the room and dismissed everyone in the room. Xifeng was leaning on the lounge chair. Ping'er wanted to come forward to serve her. She raised her hand and waved it, looking like she was not interested. Ping'er couldn't help but ask, " I asked you outside just now and you didn’t say anything. Now, what can’t you say?”

Jia Lian was leaning on the kang, then he straightened up, glanced at Xifeng, smiled and said to Ping'er, "You are coming back from the Dongfu after being very angry. Am I right?"

The latter sentence was said to Xifeng.

Xifeng then smiled, raised her eyes, and said sarcastically, "We are indeed brothers, but they all speak in the same tone!"

Ping'er couldn't believe it, "The old lady and the madam didn't follow me today, so why did they say unpleasant things over there?"

Xifeng sighed, "You don't know how majestic our Third Master Cong is!"

With that said, Xifeng told Jia Lian and Heping'er what happened in the East Mansion under the expectant eyes. After that, the three of them were speechless for a while.

After a long time, Jia Lian suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Cong is right. My eldest sister has been in the palace for so many years, but she has never been valued by the palace. The queen's brother went to Ningxia with brother Cong. Rebellion, meritorious service, and reward from the emperor. For this reason, the queen should also promote her eldest sister.

The situation is that the Empress has no children. I once heard that the Empress wanted to adopt one, but then I never heard of it again. "

Xifeng was originally smart, but when she heard this, her eyes flashed, "In that case, the queen has no choice but to make up her mind. If our eldest girl is really favored, she will give birth to a prince in the future..."

Jia Lian sneered, "When you give birth to a prince, you will be the prince in the future? Is this wealth so easy to enjoy?"

"What if Brother Cong is willing to help?" Xifeng eagerly grabbed Jia Lian's arm.

Jia Lian looked at Xifeng like a fool and said, "Brother Cong, why do you think he did this? Do you think he doesn't know about these ideas you have? He has cut off your thoughts. "

Jia Lian felt that there was nothing wrong with Jia Cong's move. After all, the road to seizing the throne has been extremely difficult and dangerous since ancient times. Not to mention the past, this dynasty was enough to make several dramas.

This is also the first time that Xifeng has seen Jia Cong's power. In the past, Jia Cong could maintain a superficial relationship with her, but today she completely fell out. The old lady has given an order. From now on, she will not You are not allowed to go to Dongfu at will.

However, Xifeng was still thinking about doing business with Jia Cong. She couldn't go, so she encouraged Jia Lian, "If you have nothing to do, you should go and get close to Brother Cong. You are brothers after all. At first, you didn't I treated him badly. You accompanied him when he went to Dongshan Garden that year. He will never neglect his brotherhood with you. Now that he is rich, he will get a lot of benefits from just mentioning you. Don’t do it all day long. Hard shit, won’t get close to you.”

"Don't talk about that little thing all day long. If he remembers my love, he will remember it without saying anything. If he doesn't remember it, what's the use of talking about it? Back then, he also said that he wanted to be with me We opened a bookstore together. Now, he is afraid that he has forgotten it, so why should I remind him? He is his, and I did not give him good things back then, so why should I expect him to give me good things now?" Jia Lian is Not daring to provoke Jia Cong, he brushed aside Xifeng's words.

Xifeng was also anxious for nothing and glared at him angrily. Ping'er opened the curtain and got up and called the maid to prepare soup, so the couple stopped talking.

On the fourth watch of the next day, a carriage from Ningguo Mansion left Ningrong Street and headed towards Lingchunfang, where Shuntianfu Yamen is located. Lingchunfang is on the east side of Andingmen Street, and you can go out from Andingmen on the way. If the capital hadn't been heavily guarded now and Azig was seriously injured, he wouldn't have been able to get out of this door just a few steps away.

There was a lantern hanging on the carriage, with three characters "Rongguofu" written on one side and a huge "Jia" on the other side. When we arrived on the street behind Shuntianfu Yamen, it was still not bright yet, so we could only deliver water. Walking through the streets with the night-scented car.Zhang Cai got out of the car and followed the agreed signal at the door. He knocked four times, three times hard and one light. After three times in a row, the back door opened, and two people helped him out. It was the two Azigs who had disguised themselves. .

"Who are you?" Samushha asked.

"Buddha Maitreya ordered me to come and save you two!" Zhang Caidao said.

This was correct. Samushha glared at Zhang Cai and said impatiently, "Hurry up!"

Not far away, the sound of wheels rolling over the road was heard again, and the smell of night fragrance wafted over.

Zhang Cai hurriedly opened the car door, pushed a board forward, revealing the space under the car, and motioned for the two of them to get on the car, "You two squeeze in first, and we will pick up my master and wait until we get out of the city!"

Seeing this, both Azig and Samushha breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were so well prepared, it seemed that there wouldn't be much problem for them to leave the city.

Although it was a bit uncomfortable for the two big men to be squeezed together, this suffering was nothing to Azig and his wife.

The carriage stopped for a moment on the way. The two Azigs listened carefully to the movements outside. When they saw that the driver had changed, they didn't think much about it. This time they went out, they always had to hide their eyes from others.

The lantern on the carriage was changed soon after. The carriage did not go towards Ningrong Street as before, but went to Duke Li Guo's Mansion in Chongbeifang, which was not far from Ningrong Street. The carriage entered the gate. I heard someone outside asking, "Why isn't it our car? Is it not repaired?"

"Look at what this uncle said, the axle of the car is broken. How can it be repaired so quickly? Take a look at this car, can it be used? I heard that I am going out of the city. The bottom of this car is thicker than the one in my house. That car is comfortable to use.”

The car door was opened, and someone must have taken a look inside and said with a smile, "You old guy, where did you get such a good car? If it gets dirty and worn out, don't blame us!"

"On weekdays, Mr. Hu usually takes care of small businesses. Now that we are in an emergency, there is no reason for us to just sit back and ignore it. To be honest with Mr. Hu, this car was originally ordered by another house. I hope Mr. Hu can help use it carefully." It would be nice if the younger ones can take action in the future."

"Hahaha, good!" Hu Tan, the steward of Duke Liguo's Mansion, took the salute from the owner of the car dealership and weighed it in his hands, which seemed to be about four or five taels. He was very satisfied and said nothing more. Let people go.

He went to serve Liu Fang when he went out.

At this time, it was about five o'clock in the morning, and the white lantern hanging on the carriage was still on, but it had been replaced by the characters "Li Guogongfu", and inside the plywood, Azig and Samushha Listening to the voices outside, knowing that the car was leaving the city, they all breathed a sigh of relief again.

As long as they get out of the city, it doesn't matter whose car they take. Once they get out of the city, they will be like dragons entering the sea and eagles soaring into the sky.

At the same time, a similar carriage stopped inside the black gate of Ningrong Street, in front of the three-story Yimen. Jia She came out with the support of Zhang Cai, walked tremblingly to the side of the carriage, and asked, " Are everything ready?"

Zhang Cai lowered his head and said, "It's all right to reply to the master!"

After hearing this, Jia She breathed a sigh of relief, glanced inside the carriage, and with the help of two people, he got on the carriage with difficulty and lay down on the carriage.

Outside, it didn't rain as Jia She thought. It had been sunny for about half a month. It was right before the Dragon Boat Festival and the weather was a bit sultry. The curtains were opened and the carriage drove out because it was still sunny. It's early, and there aren't many pedestrians on the road.

Jia Cong stood next to the big stone lion at the gate. He looked at the carriage driving out of the black gate. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He couldn't help but hold the hilt of his sword tightly. He watched coldly as the carriage drove out of Ning Rong. street.

He could watch with cold eyes as Azig's master and servant were found in Jia She's carriage, but in this case, he would inevitably be implicated. Collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country was not a common crime. Not to mention the destruction of the nine tribes, there would be three tribes. , and Ningrong's Second Mansion has not yet released the fifth server, Jia Cong does not dare to take such a big risk.

How could he do such a stupid thing as killing a thousand enemies and damaging himself by eight hundred?

It would be best to let Jia She go to jail alone.

Of course, the title will also be taken away.

Before dawn, Yin Duhui of Shuntian Prefecture came out of his study. He didn't sleep all night. He wanted to take off his belt and hang it on the beam several times, so that he could save the lives of a whole family with his own life.

At this time, Du Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the two people had left safely, but his heart still remained uneasy.

He didn't know if the news had leaked out.

At the moment, I can only bite the bullet and go to the Yamen first. No matter what, the two people have already left.

Yesterday, it was not that he didn't think of reporting it, but Azig saw through his mind. He couldn't tell why these two people came to his house, and he didn't know what kind of tricks were done to the family. Once someone came to ransack the house , what kind of evidence of collaboration with the enemy and treason will be found, so Du Hui does not dare to act rashly.

The city of Shenjing gradually became lively. Du Hui didn't even think about having breakfast. He just wiped his face and went to the front office. The master, clerks, and office servants were all moving as usual, which made Du Hui couldn't help but feel... A bit of luck.

He sent the steward out to inquire about the news. Not long after, he saw the steward hurried into the yard. Du Hui kicked the master who was reporting to him out and ordered the steward to come in quickly.

"But what happened?" Du Hui stood up nervously and knocked over the inkstone on the table.

"Master, something bad has happened. Someone from the General Affairs Department handed over a bullet to impeach the master, saying that he harbored imperial prisoners and was suspected of treason!"

When Du Hui heard this, his vision went dark and he fell down.

The steward hurriedly caught him and finally woke him up. Du Hui was already half alive. With a grimace on his face, he asked, "Yes, who is it? How did you know?"

You have to die to understand!
"It was Ma Ying, the imperial censor, who together with Jiang Chao, the imperial censor of the capital, presented the memorial. Now everyone in the court knew about it. When I came back, Du Luan, the judge of Dali Temple, also said that I would impeach you as a traitor to the party!"

"They... what evidence do they have?" Du Hui's implication is that no one is in his house now. Even if the Jin Yiwei comes, can they still find people from his house?
The steward also hurriedly reassured, "What I said is true. They can't find the person anyway. They can't accuse someone so unjustly without any evidence."

However, both the master and the servant had a doubt in their hearts: who sent the person to the back garden?

Liu Fang and others also heard the movement in the court at this time. Although they were worried, the city gate was in front of them, and they were only one step away from leaving the city.

Just get out of town!
Originally, Geng Xi and Liu Fangding's plan was to go out through Anding Gate. In this way, Jia She got in the car first, drove the carriage to the back garden of Shuntian Mansion, took Azig and two people into the car, and then went out through Anding Gate. Yes, it's just a few steps away.

However, they were just leaving the city and could not leave the city on the fourth or fifth watch, so Jia Cong arranged it. After Zhang Cai and Jia She suggested it, they changed to today's method, so that Jia Cong's people could use their hands and feet.

"We're finally leaving the city!" Liu Fang was very nervous. She glanced back at Jia She's carriage, muttered, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Azig's master and servant heard it inside the plywood, looked at each other, and were secretly happy.
