Chapter 131 130: Dialogue in Jia's Mansion

Jia's mansion is so big that it can be ranked among the top ten even in the capital city.

But in recent years, Jia's mansion has declined. Jia's mother has this feeling in her heart, but she is also a little powerless.

Obviously nothing has changed, it seems that everything is changing.

She personally manages the small secret realm in the family, and part of the production in it is used by her for her own practice, part is distributed to the family's direct descendants, and part is used as a reward.

It's just that in these years, the output in the small secret realm has become less and less. She thinks that the Jia family's secret realm may be declining. This is the real crisis of the Jia family. There are many reasons for the decline, but Jia's mother has not found it yet. She didn't dare to say anything, even inside Jia's mansion, she didn't dare to let others know.

It's just that this kind of thing can't be kept completely secret. The Jia mansion has a deficit, and now even the traffickers and pawns know about it, and they are talking about it.

Another is the disappearance of the second master of the Jia family.

Many people said that he was killed by a strongman from Jiangzhou, but they didn't know why the body was not left behind. Some people thought that it was not the strongman from other places who killed him, but for other reasons.

But no one could come up with a decent reason.

Mother Jia asked Shi Wuxie to investigate the matter from the very beginning. At this time, Shi Wuxie came to Jia's mansion and said to Mother Jia, "Second Master Jia must have attended a secret party and was killed."

"Secret gathering? Do you know what kind it is?" Jia Mu asked, she was not surprised at all, gatherings like this happen every day, from princes and nobles to traffickers, I don't know how many people are attending every day With secret gatherings.

"I feel the breath of the God of Winter." Shi Wuxie said.

"Oh, the God of Winter." Of course, Mother Jia is no stranger to the God of Winter. It can even be said that she has dealt with the God of Winter a lot. Since she took charge of the Jia Mansion, priests of the God of Winter will come to the house every year. Although she was not preaching her teachings, Mother Jia knew very well that she hoped that the God of Winter would receive her own offerings.

But now it seems that the priest of the Winter God did not win him over, but his child was already drawn over and entered the Church of the Winter God.

She thought of the priest of the Winter God Church who came to her home a few days ago to send her child back. She saw Jia Shun's injuries, and she already had a judgment in her heart.

"Xiao Shi, tell me about Lou Jinchen." Jia Mu said.

Shi Wuxie took Lou Jinchen to the Red Leaf Villa. This is known to everyone. The outlander fanatic who said in the sky of Qianjing that "the son of the capital, the general is nothing more than that" is Shi Wuxie's friend.

In the past month, many people have asked Shi Wuxie about that out-of-town madman Lou Jinchen.

Not only his colleagues, but also his superiors, and playmates he knew or didn't know well when he was a child, all asked him more or less.

This made Shi Wuxie, who never liked to gossip with others, have to always answer the same sentence to everyone - not familiar!
He is indeed unfamiliar, but no one believes it, even his father said: "It is morally good for you to accompany your friends to rescue the niece who was lost in the fire pit, but you must also pay attention to yourself." Fortunately, you hadn’t taken up your new position at that time, if you want to help your friends in the future, you have to be strategic, and when you are in the officialdom, you have to be flexible.”

"Look at the water, if it encounters obstacles, it will go around it. If it can't go around, it will accumulate strength and one day it will flow over. It's just that most people in this world can't do this."

Shi Wuxie never expected that his father, who has always been silent and rigid, would tell him this kind of truth.

Now when Mother Jia asked him again, he still said: "To tell you the truth, I am really not familiar with that Lou Jinchen. Before returning to this capital, I only met you in the city of Swimming, which has become an eyeless city." At that time, he was invaded by the 'secret spirit' and had never seen me."

"The second time I saw Lou Jinchen was at the Sanjiangkou Ferry. Han Shouyuan, the alchemist of the National Teacher's Mansion at that time, died suddenly after talking to him. However, I didn't have much contact with him, but as a man in Jiangzhou I have been arrested for many years, and I know his deeds." Shi Wuxie said.

"Oh, please tell me, Xiao Shi, what kind of person he is." Jia Mu said.

"He is a very simple person. Old lady, what kind of person do you think he is now, and what kind of person he is." Shi Wuxie said.

"I've never seen him before, I just heard it from hearsay, how can I judge a person." Jiamu said.

"The old lady might as well use this hearsay to judge who he is." Shi Wuxie said.

Xue Bao'er next to Jia's mother couldn't help but think of that day in the inn at Sanjiangkou, sitting in the middle of the crowd silently and fearlessly, the kind of scrutiny he had when his eyes swept over the people present, and then he drove the horse all the way. Carrying himself back to Jia's mansion, he secretly thought: "He is a person who is fearless, sympathetic and sympathetic to the weak. His promise to sworn brothers can be fulfilled even if he crosses thousands of rivers and mountains and faces obstacles from the powerful and powerful. who arrived."

Jia Mu was silent for a while, and said, "This is a person who can't be without a king."

"Then he is a person who can't be without a king." Shi Wuxie said.

"Well, I know that people in the Jianghu regard being chivalrous and righteous as a virtue, but to the imperial court, how are they different from demons? Wandering among the mountains and rivers, they often think of entering the city to kill a few dignitaries and earn their fame. Sitting in the middle and ruling the roost, gathering crowds to scream, is the biggest instability factor in the imperial court." Jia Mu said.

Shi Wuxie has worked in the remote Jiangzhou for many years, and has met many Jianghu monks. Of course, he knows that there are all kinds of people among them. , This kind of person throws his head away with one word, but dies with one promise. He respects it in his heart.

Therefore, Shi Wuxie didn't agree with Jia's mother's blow to the people in the rivers and lakes, but out of respect for her elders, she didn't refute it, so she didn't answer.

"You said, even if Jia Shun was wrong in principle, he shouldn't give his woman to others, but after all, there is no matchmaker, no one who has passed through the door, and he is not guilty of death, but he was lynched. Are you The defender of the dry law is the newly appointed Deputy Superintendent of Yin and Yang who was appointed by the emperor to reform the administration of officials. You have to handle this matter well and let the court take a good look at the capabilities of the latest generation of the Shi family."

Shi Wuxie knew that Mother Jia believed that Second Master Jia was killed by Lou Jinchen.

"Has the old lady ever met the priest of the God of Winter?" Shi Wuxie asked.

"Follow me." Mother Jia got up, and brought Shi Wuxie to a cellar, and then Shi Wuxie saw a person whose whole body was covered in frost.

And he soon discovered that this person's fatal wound was between the eyebrows, and the sword intent wrapped around the wound between the eyebrows was sharp, with a scorching blazing sun, but now it was frozen.

"Xiao Shi, can you confirm who stabbed the sword wound between the eyebrows?" Jiamu said.

Shi Wuxie said silently: "The person who stabbed Second Master Jia may not be the one who killed him. His frosty body is also deadly. It is the same scene as I saw when Han Shouyuan died at Sanjiangkou."

"Oh." Mother Jia glanced at Shi Wuxie. She couldn't say that Jia Shun had joined the Church of the God of Winter, and the people of the God of Winter would not kill him. In the secret struggle between the God of Winter and the National Teacher, he joined the God of Winter.

This is also the reason why the people of the Winter God Sect failed to dispel the cold air in the corpse.

This kind of cold air can only be dispelled by special fire spells. However, after dispelling the cold air, the corpse will definitely rot, and the sword air in the sword mark between the eyebrows will dissipate.

The people from the Winter God Church didn't arrive in time, just to let the cold into the body, so that if Jiamu wanted to investigate the sword wound and find out the murderer, she had to let people know that Jia Shun had joined the Winter God Church.

"You don't have to worry about the frost on his body. I will go to the Church of the Winter God to discuss it. You just say whether you recognize the sword wound." Jia Mu obviously wanted to force Shi Wuxie to express his opinion.

She knew that members of the Shi family would not tell lies, and Shi Wuxie was a junior with extraordinary abilities, so she called Shi Wuxie to investigate the case.

"I don't have much contact with Lou Jinchen, so I can't be sure." Shi Wuxie said.

"Not much contact? But taking him to find someone in the Red Leaf Pavilion, even Mr. Ling Yin's face will be lost." Jia Mu said, Shi Wuxie knew that this was Jia Mu's dissatisfaction with her answer.

"The reason why I went with him is because I secretly asked him to help deliver someone." Shi Wuxie said.

"Oh, can you tell me, who can win the favor of you two young talents?" Mother Jia said.

At this time, Shi Wuxie glanced at Xue Baoer who came along but didn't say a word.

Xue Baoer was slightly taken aback, she had told her aunt about this matter, but at this time, her aunt asked about it as if she didn't know, she didn't know why, but she could only follow her aunt's words and say: "Auntie Grandma, Mr. Wuxie once instructed me to follow Lou Jinchen all the way back, after Lou Jinchen knew that it was Mr. Wuxie who instructed me, he let me ride his horse and sent me all the way back."

"Oh, it turns out that he is not really a chivalrous man, but a philanthropist, Xiao Shi, he has no friendship with you at all, you just handle the case impartially, don't let Shi's family get hurt Shame on the easy-to-earn title of god catcher."

Shi Wuxie quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your teaching, old lady."

When he walked out of Jia's mansion again, he felt a little relieved in his heart.

Shi Wuxie couldn't help thinking: "Mother Jia is indeed the mainstay of the Jia family, she is the sea god needle of the Jia family, let's not talk about her cultivation, the invisible oppression makes me a little breathless, just say that The chain of words after the words suppressed me."

He thought about it, and found that what Jia Mu said was telling himself that Lou Jinchen had nothing to do with him. He told himself that he needed to use this case to prove that he had nothing to do with Lou Jinchen. Chen is not a friend, just because of Lou Jinchen's kindness, even if someone makes a fuss based on this, she can prove it for herself.

What's more, it is to use the Shi family's reputation to suppress yourself, so that you can care about the Shi family's hard-won reputation, and don't make friends with people in the world like Lou Jinchen. People define their nature, saying that they are lawless people without a king.

He found that, although he was helping her investigate the case, it seemed that he was clearing himself of suspicion.
