The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 470 The Prince's Secret Move

Jiao Da looked at Xie Kun contemptuously.

"Xie Kun, you know who I'm talking about."

"Are you talking about Jia Min? Hahaha, he is nothing now, no one knows where he is, what can he do to me? A joke."

Jiao Da stood up slowly, shook twice, and finally stood still.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he rushed like Xie Kun.

Xie Kun raised his foot and kicked Jiao Da away.

Zhang Wen next to him pulled out his knife and stabbed Jiao Da in the chest.

"Duke Ning, Jiao Da is here, and he's here again to lead you on the horse."

Jiao shouted, shrank back, and pulled his body out of Zhang Wen's knife.He fell down with his head up, his body twitched a few times, and never moved again.

"This dog slave is really stubborn."

Zhang Wen said bitterly.

"Why did you kill him?"

"This, the humble job is to protect adults."

"He is a dying person, what can he do to me?"

"The humble job is eager to protect adults, that's why..."

"Forget it, forget it, pour him some wine and throw it into the moat. I'll report to the emperor."

"Understandable."

Xie Kun got out of the prison and rode his horse on the street.It didn't take long to arrive at the Jinshui Bridge in front of the gate of the Forbidden City.

"Go back first, you don't have to wait for me here, come here to pick me up at a quarter of noon."

The four attendants agreed and left together.

This is the case every time Master Guerrilla enters the palace, they are used to it.

Seeing that a few of his entourage had disappeared, Xie Kun rode his horse and galloped towards West Chang'an Street.

He did not enter the palace, but came to the gate of a deep house.

There are a few large characters on the forehead, which are impressively visible: Dongping Palace.

"Thank you Guerrilla, the prince has been waiting for a long time."

A butler came out from the flower hall and led Xie Kun to the living room.

"Xie Guerrilla, wait a moment, I will report."

After a while, Song Kuan, the son of Prince Dongping, came out.

"Brother Xie came at the right time, I thought it was coming soon, and it really came."

"Keep the prince waiting for a long time."

"Where is it, Xie Guerrilla is a distinguished guest, and now he is a man of the hour in the imperial capital, and so on should be."

"My son, please don't say that. Without King Dongping, Xie wouldn't be where he is today."

"Father is right after all, brother Xie is indeed a person with affection and intention."

"My lord's kindness to my humble position is as great as a mountain, and I dare not forget my humble position."

"Well, as long as you remember it. How are things going with Jiao Da?"

"Jiao Da is dead."

"died?"

So Xie Kun told what happened.

"It's all bad for doing things in humble positions. Please punish me."

"Oh, forget it, it's fine if you die. Maybe Qin Keqing is really just Qin Ye's application for support from the Honorary Nursing Home."

"Why don't you go check it out again?"

"For the time being, don't use it for the time being. Don't startle the snake. Now Jia Lian and others are back. They were all brought out by Jia Min, but they should not be underestimated. I will make a decision on this matter after I report it to my father. Anyway, Qin Keqing can't escape. , not in a hurry. But those few people, you have to pay more attention, if you have any clues, just grab it."

"Now the King of Beijing lives in seclusion and does not go out. Apart from going to court, he doesn't see anyone walking around."

"Scholar Ji is only busy with Chinese pinyin every day, and there is nothing unusual about it."

"It's just that Liu Changfeng and Xiu Tonggui spend more time with each other. It seems that they are only drinking together, and there is no abnormal behavior."

"Okay, just pay more attention and watch the tea."

"Farewell from my humble position."

Xie Kun came out of Dongping Prince's Mansion, seeing that it was still early, he went to Dajinmen Fengyue Street.

Investigating the matter of Jia's mansion did not lead to any clues. I thought the son would blame him, but he didn't expect the son to pay attention to it.He couldn't help feeling a little more fond of Song Kuan.

Although he didn't know why the son suddenly asked him to do this, and he didn't think that Qin Keqing of Ningguo Mansion would be the Princess of Prince Chengyi, but he had no choice if the son asked him to do it.

He knew that Song Kuan was dealing with him on behalf of King Dongping, so he couldn't refuse Song Kuan's request.

Soon, Xie Kun arrived at Yuhua Tower, where he wanted to relax.

The atmosphere in the living room of Dongping Prince's Mansion is also very relaxed at this time.

After Xie Kun left, Li Qian and Han Qi came out from the inner room, and the three of them were drinking tea.

"Brother Song, why is the prince eyeing the Jia family at this time?"

Li Qian was a little puzzled.

"That's right, even if Qin Keqing is the daughter of Prince Chengyi, it's been 20 years, and she probably doesn't even know about it. Besides, what's the use of a daughter of a deposed king?"

"Qin Keqing is of course useless. If this matter is found out, wouldn't the Jia family be harboring the daughter of an imperial convict? If so, wouldn't there be an excuse for wanting to attack the Jia family?"

"The Jia family has always been loyal to the royal family, and Jia Min saved the prince and princess. If you do this, you won't be afraid of ridicule from the world?"

"Since ancient times, in the family of ruthless emperors, it is not uncommon for father and son to fight each other for the position of great treasure, let alone a family of foreign relatives."

"Yeah, our family also made great contributions in the past. Over the years, haven't they been wary of us all the time? Brother Song, the prince is cold-natured. Jia Min rescued him. Not only did he not appreciate it, but I think it’s better to be careful about this matter.”

"Brother Li, when you mentioned Jia Min, I remembered, where is Jia Min now?"

Song Kuan suddenly became interested in Jia Min again.

"It is said that now that I have come to the north to do business, it seems that I want to be a rich and idle person."

"Oh, it's a pity that this son can't be used by me. It's a pity."

"This man is independent, and he does have some skills. He has some experience in training soldiers and fighting. Fortunately, the emperor got rid of him for us. Otherwise, he will become a serious problem for us in the future."

"Jia Min is nothing to worry about. Neither the emperor nor the prince wants to see him. Otherwise, he would not have been asked to be the deputy head of the clan's mansion."

"I didn't expect it to be cheaper Jia Min."

"That's not necessarily the case. Jia Min is used to slanting his sword. If he really became the deputy head of the clan's mansion and made some achievements, it's unknown. At the beginning, everyone regarded Bu Kui as a fearful way. Once he left, Didn't it make things happen? Now that he stays away from the temple, it is the most favorable ending for us."

"That's true. When I think of the strength of his army regiment, I feel uneasy. It is abolished in the end, so that people can rest easy."

"Brother Han, how is King Jin?"

"It's quite close to the northwest now, and it seems to be quite warm with Concubine Zhou inside."

"Brother Li, where is the King of Chu?"

"It seems that I have more contact with Zhili. On the ninth day of the lunar new year, I went to Zhili in disguise. It seems that I am a little bit impatient."

"These two people are not convinced by the prince. Now that the emperor is sick, his mind seems to be a little alive. You should pay close attention to it. In addition, brother Li, you should also pay attention to Chang'an."

"Brother Song, don't you need Chang'an? After all, you are a girl."

"A generation of women? Wu Zetian is still a generation of women, how many people can compare? Now the crown prince, the king of Jin, and the king of Chu are all ambitious, ambitious, and talented, but His Royal Highness Chang'an has some real skills. North Vendura In the first battle, the army was defeated for thousands of miles, but she was the only one who fought decently, and the emperor doted on her in every possible way, so don't underestimate her."

"Brother Song, good advice, I just need to pay more attention."

"Okay, let's go to the East Palace, so that the crown prince won't be in a hurry, go and speak carefully."

"Brother Song, don't worry, he will pay attention."

Two days later, someone found a body in the moat. It looked about 70 to [-] years old, with a wine jar hanging on its body, and it seemed that it had fallen into the water and drowned.

However, the wound on the deceased's body attracted people's attention, so they reported it to Dongcheng Bingma Si.

Dongcheng Bingmasi posted a notice to identify the corpse, and the Ningguo Mansion found that Jiao Da was missing, so they sent the housekeeper Li Hua to take a look.

Li Hua saw that it was indeed Jiao Da, so he brought back the body.After returning, he was buried.

However, the wound on Jiao Da's body left Jia's suspense.

He dared to kill the people in Jia's mansion, and Jiao Da was the one who saved Ning Guogong, so this incident naturally aroused some discussion.

Liu Changfeng, the admiral of the Nine Gates, ordered to investigate the matter, and the old lady of Jia's mansion also asked Jia Lian to investigate the matter so that the Jiao family could have an explanation.

If Jiao Daruo died for no apparent reason, it would also be a detriment to the dignity of the Jia family.

Three days later, Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun met in a tavern facing the street of the Provincial Hospital.

This tavern is a joint venture between Jia Qiang and Jia Yun, and it serves Tatar-style dishes, among which the roast leg of lamb and lamb scorpion are the most famous signature dishes, attracting many diners. Come here for a taste.

The project of Shengqin Bieyuan is currently progressing smoothly.Because the shops facing the street were the first to be built, they have already been sold out, and almost all of them have opened.

At this time, the store was closed, only Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun were there.

"Second Uncle Lian, we've found out. The last person Jiao Da saw was Zhang Cai."

Jia Qiang said.

"Zhang Cai? Our housekeeper Zhang Cai?"

"It was him. That day, when he met Jiao Da on the street, he insisted on having a drink with Jiao Da. According to the waiter at Xianyuan Restaurant, it was Zhang Cai who dragged Jiao Da to have a drink."

Jia Yun added.

"There is one more thing that is quite suspicious. In the past few years, Zhang Cai has met with someone at Xianyuan Restaurant every seven days. Yesterday was the day to meet that person again. We followed that person. That person finally entered the Great Black Gate."

"Are you sure you entered the Great Black Gate?"

"Yes, after that person went in, he stayed there for more than an hour. He didn't come out until the time of the customs office. He chatted and laughed happily with some people. He was obviously very familiar with them. He should be a colleague."

Daheimen is a popular name for people in the imperial capital, and it is the official office of the Jinyi Army.

Zhang Cai met regularly with members of the Jinyi Army. For Jia Lian, Jia Qiang, and Jia Yun, who already had extensive military experience, they knew almost immediately what this meant.

"The Jinyi Army went too far, and even put spies in our mansion."

Jia Qiang said angrily.

"From this point of view, Jiao Da's death seems to be related to the Jinyi Army. Jiao Da is just a slave, why did they find him?"

"It's useless for us to guess here, let's go."

"Second Uncle Lian, where are you going?"

"Take Zhang Cai secretly!"

With that said, Jia Lian went out first, followed closely by Jia Qiang and Jia Yun.
