Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 196 Escape

Beijing Wang Shuirong returned to his house, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

He had killed many of his cronies before about the underground treasure house. Now something happened, and he had no one to discuss with him.

"Can't sit still and wait for death!" He sat in the study, becoming more and more worried as he thought about it. Finally, he slapped the table hard and stood up.

Through Emperor Jingwen's actions today, he saw many crises.

When the emperor wants to touch someone, he usually first asks someone to impeach him, and then investigates him. The more involved he is, the more he is involved, and the end result is that the person's family is destroyed.

If it were just those cases, Beijing Wang Shuirong wouldn't be afraid at all. The Supreme Emperor is not dead yet.

But when it comes to rebellion, the Supreme Emperor will not intercede for him.

"Send the order to cause chaos in the capital! Bring the prince and the princesses with us, and we will evacuate the capital from the secret passage!" He issued the order in a deep voice.

Figures flashed in the darkness, and someone took the order and went down.

When he asked this question, a lustful look flashed in his eyes.

The court on the third day was the day when he gave an explanation to Emperor Jingwen. Apart from anything else, he needed at least a letter.

He didn't know the cost of letting King Shuirong of Beijing escape. If he knew now, Emperor Jingwen would definitely send Jia Qiang immediately.

Prince Shuirong of Beijing left Princess Beijing behind just in case. Anyway, the Zhen family would not be able to support what happened next. Instead of bringing along a useless princess, it would be better to hide it for the sake of greater safety.

In the Beijing Prince's Mansion, because of the advance arrangements, even if Beijing Prince Shuirong left, no one would notice anything was wrong.

A passage under the Beijing Palace leads to a courtyard in the outer city.

"I don't believe it either, but it's true. Shuirong took away the crown prince and the princess, but left behind Princess Beijing!" Prince Zhongshun said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Subsequently, the news of King Beijing's disappearance could no longer be concealed, but two days had passed and King Beijing had already left the capital.

It wasn't until the third day when he still didn't go to court that he realized something was wrong.

The dignified King Beijing escaped just because of the impeachment in the court. This matter is somewhat unjustifiable.

But Beijing Wang Shuirong escaped silently.

Emperor Jingwen thought of testing the Supreme Emperor with Beijing Wang Shuirong. No matter how serious it was, he would just let Beijing Wang Shuirong receive some reprimand and stay at home for a while.

"Prince Zhongshun, has Prince Shui Rong of Beijing escaped?" he asked.

The chatting words reached Jia Qiang's ears, making him stunned.

Princess Beijing was abandoned. This Princess Beijing was the second daughter of the Zhen family. Because of the old concubine of the Zhen family, she had a close relationship with the palace.

In the East Palace, Emperor Jingwen looked at the book in his hand with a look of disbelief.

"Let him rest peacefully for a while. He has only returned from patrolling the border for four years. He is not the only one who can pursue King Beijing in Daqian!" Emperor Jingwen waved his hand and said.

"When the old concubine dies, the Zhen family will be destroyed!" Prince Zhongshun said dissatisfied.

Beijing Wang Shuirong took his eldest son and princesses and silently walked out of the secret passage in the courtyard. Guarded by more than a dozen experts, they walked for another half an hour and arrived at a courtyard next to the city wall.

"What do you mean by missing? It means escaping. The princes of Beijing Palace and the princess all escaped together!" Another official, who knew better, corrected.

"Who knows this? If you want to know, you have to ask Beijing Wang Shuirong himself!"

The evacuation of the Beijing Palace was extremely secretive. Except for the crown prince and the princesses, even the Princess of Beijing did not know about it.

The booklet in his hand said it very clearly, but he still questioned the authenticity of the news.

With the Supreme Emperor's current tolerance, the incident involving Beijing Wang Shuirong was nothing at all.

"Jiahou has a feud with King Beijing. It's better for the emperor to send him to chase King Beijing. With his ability, he may be able to capture him!" Prince Zhongshun thought of Jia Qiang and couldn't help recommending.

Prince Zhongshun did not answer. He also couldn't figure out this question.

He looked at the Beijing Palace with some helplessness. If he failed to go there, he would not be able to come back.

"Tell me, it's just two impeachments. Just pick someone to handle the two cases. Why do you need to escape?" another official said.

Emperor Jingwen didn't say anything this time. The Jiangnan Zhen family had done so many evil things. It was because of the old concubine that the Jiangnan Zhen family lived like earthly emperors in Jiangnan.

Soon, the palace sent people to the Prince of Beijing's Mansion to convey the order to the Prince of Beijing to enter the palace.

Two hours later, the Beijing Wang family was already sitting on a boat, heading south along the canal.

"Before you capture Prince Beijing, don't touch Princess Beijing. Do you want the old concubine to come to the palace to find you?" Emperor Jingwen glared at his younger brother and said.

He now guessed the reason why Beijing Wang Shuirong escaped. Perhaps it was because he emptied the weapons and equipment from the underground treasure house of Beijing Prince's Mansion and chopped off the dragon robe. This time Emperor Jingwen launched an attack, and Beijing Wang Shuirong He ran away because he thought what he had done was exposed.

"Why did he run away?" Emperor Jingwen murmured.

There is also a secret passage in this courtyard, and the other exit of the secret passage is outside the city wall.

The next day in Jiuqing's room, Jia Qiang found a place to sit down early, drinking tea and listening to the conversation of the officials next to her.

"I ordered people to block the road leading to King Beijing's fiefdom and must intercept him. I think there must be a hidden secret in this!" Emperor Jingwen said in a deep voice.

"Wang Shuirong of Beijing is missing!" an official said.

"What about Princess Beijing?" Prince Zhongshun asked.

Beijing Prince's Mansion, which has been passed down for generations, was still a little reluctant to leave when he decided to leave.

When the court went to court the next day, Wang Shuirong of Beijing did not attend. Others thought he was busy overturning the case.

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and he couldn't help but mourn for Beijing Wang Shuirong.

The prince's entry into and out of the capital requires the consent of the palace. Leaving the capital without authorization is a serious crime, not to mention taking away the prince and the princess. This is already a precursor to rebellion.

Jia Qiang didn't want to tell her discovery. It was not a good thing for him to sneak into the Beijing Prince's Mansion.

Although there was no mention of Beijing Wang Shuirong at the court meeting, the atmosphere in the court hall was extremely depressing.

After the court meeting, Jia Qiang still went to Wenyuan Pavilion to study.

Since he got an official position, he feels as if he has returned to the days when he worked in his previous life, and is even busier.

He got up before dawn in the morning, went to court and then went to the cabinet.

Of course, if he really complains to other people, they will definitely be pissed off. This is to enter the cabinet. Although he is only a member of the fifth-level cabinet, he is exposed to major world affairs in the cabinet.

With his seniority in the cabinet, even if he wants to be a civil servant in the future, he will have advantages that others cannot match.

Daqian implemented a five-day rest period, and Jia Qiang still had time to rest.

This day was Xiu Mu's day. Jia Qiang still got up very early. He got on his horse and took Jia Gong with him to leave Jiahou's mansion. All the way out of the capital, we came to Xuanzhen Temple.

The land deed of Xuanzhen Temple is in his hands. In fact, Xuanzhen Temple is the private property of Jiahou Mansion.

Since Jia Qiang took over the Jiahou Mansion, all uses of Xuanzhen Temple have been supported by the Jiahou Mansion.

The consumption of Xuanzhen Temple is not small. Jia Jing practices Taoism and makes elixirs. All the elixirs need are precious materials. It costs dozens or hundreds of taels of silver to open the furnace at one time.

Jia Jing had a bit of a romantic relationship with him, and Jia Qiang was originally admitted to the Ningguo Mansion by Jia Jing.

No matter what Jia Jing thought at the beginning, Jia Qiang must accept this kindness.

In addition, Jia Qiang also inherited the courtyard where Jia Jing studied, and acquired the "Jia's Hundred Turns Refinement Technique" and "Yangong Bingshu", the general's training skills. He also had to accept this favor.

Originally, Jia Qiang thought that she would compensate Jia Jing with money and just support Jia Jing from now on, without having anything to do with Jia Jing anymore.

But it didn't work this time, because the Qin family suddenly sent Qin Keqing to Jiahou's mansion, so he had to come to Jia Jing to find out what happened back then.

Jia Qiang came to the gate of Xuanzhen Temple and clicked the door lightly.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and a small child poked his head out.

"Xuanzhen Temple does not accept outsiders, please come back!" the little Taoist boy said with a Taoist spell.

"Xuanzhen Temple is my private property!" Jia Qiang said lightly.

The little Taoist boy was stunned and thought for a moment before he understood.

"Master Jia Hou, wait a moment, Xiaodao will notify the temple owner immediately!" Xiaodaotong said quickly and closed the door.

Jia Qiang stood outside the gate of Xuanzhen Temple and waited for another cup of tea before the gate opened again.

"Xuan Chengzi has met Mr. Jia Hou, please come in!" The master of the temple, Xuan Chengzi, had a smile on his face and extended his hand to invite Jia Qiang in.

Jia Qiang nodded and walked into Xuanzhen Temple.

"Master Jiahou is here to see Master Jing?" Xuanchengzi asked as he walked.

"Exactly, does Mr. Jing have some free time?" Jia Qiang nodded and asked.

"Master Jing usually doesn't see outsiders, but I think Jia Hou is an exception. I'll go and pass the news right away!" Xuan Chengzi said after letting Jia Qiang into the hall and letting the little Taoist boy serve tea.

Not long after Xuanchengzi left, he led Jia Jing into the hall.

Xuan Chengzi bowed to the two of them and then exited the hall, leaving Jia Qiang and Jia Jing alone.

Jia Qiang looked at Jia Jing. Jia Jing was extremely thin. His large Taoist robe was empty, but he had an air of immortality.

"What a resemblance!" Jia Jing looked at Jia Qiang and murmured to himself.

"Who is he like?" Jia Qiang heard clearly and asked quickly.

"I didn't expect that the child who was expelled from the family has now replaced Ningguo Mansion. Thank you for your support over the years!" Jia Jing said with emotion without answering his question.

"Actually, I want to thank Mr. Jing very much. If it weren't for the book that Mr. Jing left in the courtyard, I wouldn't have been able to inherit the body-refining skills of the Jia family, and I wouldn't have been able to pass the exam!" Jia Qiang said sincerely.

"There are so many children of the Jia family, all of whom only know glory and wealth. They have completely forgotten how the ancestors of the Jia family built such a big business. There are so many people who are not as good as a child like you!" Jia Jing shook his head and said.

Before he became a monk, he became a Jinshi and entered the officialdom as a Jinshi.

If he hadn't been on the wrong team, how could he have ended up clinging to Xuan Zhen Guan.

Ever since Jia Zhen lost his title, he had been disappointed with Ning Guofu. None of his juniors had achieved success.

On the contrary, Jia Qiang, the adopted one, has achieved unimaginable achievements.

"Master Jing, why am I here to ask about Qin Keqing?" Jia Qiang asked directly without further chatting.

"Qin Keqing? If Jia Rong is not in exile, why would Qin Keqing still be involved with you?" This time, Jia Jing was confused.

"The Qin family didn't know why they sent Qin Keqing to my house!" Jia Qiang explained in a deep voice.

Jia Jing was very puzzled. According to the original agreement, Qin Keqing was engaged to Jia Rong. After Jia Rong was exiled, the marriage should have been concluded. How could Qin Keqing be sent to Jiahou's mansion again?
"Qin Keqing is related to some secrets from the past. After hearing this, you can choose to turn around and forget about it!" Jia Jing said in a deep voice.

He stood up and took some tea from the side.

Jia Qiang quickly stepped forward, took the tea, and poured it for Jia Jing.

Jia Jing took a sip of tea, with a look of memory on his face.

"I followed Prince Yi Zhong Lao Chitose. Prince Yi Zhong Lao Chitose committed a crime and the Supreme Emperor chose Jing Wen. In order to vent their anger, Prince Yi Zhong Lao Chitose's men arrested Jing Wen's young daughter and sent it to Qin Bangye. raise.

It was decided at the beginning that when Qin Keqing reached her age, she would marry him to Ningguo Mansion.

After all, it is the blood of the Tian family. Even if we want revenge, we don’t want to ruin the blood of the Tian family! "Speaking of this, Jia Jing glanced at Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang never thought that Qin Keqing was the daughter of Emperor Jingwen.

This matter may seem strange, but since the words came from Jia Jing's mouth, their authenticity is still reliable.

At such a close distance, he could sense that Jia Jing was not lying.

"Not many people knew about this at first. In fact, I am the only one who survives to know Qin Keqing's true identity. The others all thought that Qin Keqing was the posthumous son of Prince Yi Zhong and Concubine Chitose Lan!" Jia Jing added.

Jia Qiang shook her head. Regardless of her identity, Qin Keqing was of Tian family blood.

"Qin Bangye shouldn't handle Qin Keqing's matter like this. I don't know if he is scared or for other reasons. It's up to you to handle this matter. Anyway, the person who did it in the first place is old and dead. Even if Emperor Jingwen wants to pursue it, it doesn't matter. "Yes!" Jia Jing said calmly.

Qin Bangye broke the agreement, and Jia Jing had opinions on Qin Bangye.

If Jia Qiang really reported the matter to Emperor Jingwen, Jia Jing would not be able to escape, and Qin Bangye would also be punished with death.

However, Jia Jing no longer cares about life or death. His life has no meaning anymore.

"Let her stay in the house to raise her, just to raise one more person!" Jia Qiang thought for a while, it was better to maintain the current situation.

"You are killing people all over the country, yet you still have a kind heart!" Jia Jing said with a smile.

Jia Qiang also smiled. He was not a kind person. In this world, he only cared about the people he cared about. Anyone who was his enemy would be killed by him with his sword.

Qin Keqing's matter was extremely complicated. It included not only royal disputes, but also immortal plans. Even though he didn't understand the situation, he naturally maintained the status quo.

"I won't live much longer. After I die, come and take away the things I left behind!" Jia Jing finally waved his hand and said.

After saying this, he looked sluggish and quickly took a bottle from his arms, poured out a golden elixir and drank it.

As he took the golden elixir, his face turned rosy.
