The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 136
In the Daming Palace, the Qingci in the hands of the Supreme Emperor slowly fell to the ground, and he stepped on it without knowing it.

Gu Mingchen lay on the ground. Although he was extremely nervous due to fear, at this moment, he had no choice.

Zhao Chi's temperament changed drastically. He gave up on himself at first, and then sold himself to work as a waiter in a waiter's house. He was a grown man. He wore red and green clothes all day long, put on rouge and powder, dressed up like a woman, and spoke like a woman. Always raise your orchid finger.

Last year, the old lady of the Zhao family couldn't bear the blow and died.

Although Zhao Chi had felt guilty, he still did not follow the right path. A white silk hanging beam was suspended from the beam. Fortunately, his servant found it in time. After he was rescued, he neither ate nor drank and focused on seeking death.

Zhao Zibi was like crazy and wouldn't let go of him. I heard that he was desperately searching for evidence from Jiangnan, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. Anyway, it was like a time bomb, and he was about to wipe out all the Jiangnan civil servants group at any time.

Now, Jia Cong is over there, and the Zhen family has already fallen before Zhao Zibi starts acting like a monster.

Gu Mingchen didn't sleep all night, and fear that he had never experienced before was creeping over him. He suddenly realized a problem. I'm afraid that the Emperor has not passed away yet, so they would have to go to the Underworld Road to wait in advance, right?
Jia Cong, the child who knelt in the snow and begged his family three and a half years ago, inadvertently grew up to the point where he was willing to be a knife in the emperor's hand, and now this knife hangs over their heads.

The Supreme Emperor slowly sat down on the futon and waved to Gu Mingchen, who knelt down.

"He ransacked Jiangnan Zhen's house? How much money did he get?"

Don't ask about anything else, just money.

Gu Mingchen felt a sense of despair in his heart, "Three, more than three million taels, Your Majesty, the Zhen family has fallen, over there in Jiangnan..."

The Emperor's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a ray of light flashed through them, "Isn't there Zhao Zibi over there in the south of the Yangtze River? What are you panicking about? Although the Zhen family has been raided, the sky of Dashun has not fallen yet. If we really If it collapses, let’s see who can hold it up!”

Gu Mingchen felt as uncomfortable as a dog. He couldn't help but wonder, was the shrewd emperor in the past stupid?The Zhen family has fallen, and half of Dashun's sky has collapsed a long time ago. Isn't it a joke to wait for someone to hold it up?
No wonder Gu Mingchen is anxious, the Zhen family has fallen, and Jiangnan doesn't know how many ghosts and snakes will appear. Who among them has no contact with Jiangnan?If the emperor wants to catch them all, this is the best opportunity.

Hearing that the Supreme Emperor began to recite sutras again, Gu Mingchen was about to boldly go up and give some more advice. When Dai Quan saw this, his legs were shaking with fear. He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Gu Mingchen out, "Master Gu, you don't want to live anymore." , and we can’t involve other people!”

Gu Mingchen pulled back his sleeves, shook his shoulders, straightened his clothes, and said anxiously, "Prime Minister Dai, can you blame me? What's going on outside? The Zhen family has collapsed. Who will be next? Whose turn is it, can you please say hello to Prime Minister Dai and Jia Cong?"

"You can't calm down now?" Dai Quan said with a smile, "How old are you kid? Do you really think that this trick was done by Jia Cong? You started to act blindly before you understood anything, and even came in front of the Supreme Emperor Rampant and messy.

I'm not telling you, Mr. Gu, you are also a veteran. Remembering the Dongshan Garden idea from back then, didn't Master Ling want to harm Jia Cong at the beginning, but Master Zhao suffered a disaster as a result? The Zhao family didn't say anything all day long. Thinking of taking revenge on Jia Cong! "

"The Zhao family didn't seek revenge against Jia Cong, but Zhao Zibi worked all day long... Ah, no, Prime Minister Dai, why are we talking about this? Aren't we talking about things in the south? As for the Dongshan Garden thing, I am You really don’t hold grudges!" Gu Mingchen was really confused.

"Others don't know what's going on in the south of the Yangtze River. Is it possible that the Supreme Emperor doesn't know about it either? Don't worry, Mr. Gu. There are people who report everything to the Supreme Emperor, no matter how big or small. The Supreme Emperor knows less about it than you do." ?"

The emperor is really not in a hurry, and I don't know why this person is so anxious.

After saying that, Dai Quan did not let Gu Mingchen distinguish, and asked the young eunuch to take Gu Mingchen out of the palace. He also told him not to disturb the Supreme Emperor's cultivation of immortality without the summons of the Supreme Emperor. Now the cultivation of immortality is at a critical juncture. If he cannot ascend in the future, , that's all Gu Mingchen's fault.

When Gu Mingchen left the palace, his legs were trembling.

The carriage left Linjing Gate, exited Yujie Street, and when it got onto the Zhouqiao Bridge, it was blocked in front. People from all directions gathered around the bridge. People kept crowding here. Being blocked, I don’t know what kind of excitement these people were there to see.

After fighting forward for almost half an hour, he was only about ten steps away. Gu Mingchen was already irritable, and now he was so anxious that he wanted to draw his sword and kill someone.

"What's going on?" Gu Mingchen was furious.

The servants of the Gu family hurriedly ran to the front to take a look. They were so frightened that they ran back and stammered, "Master, up front, the young master of the Zhao family is dancing with his sleeves."

Gu Mingchen felt a headache when he heard the Zhao family. At this time, the surroundings were quiet and he heard a babbling sound:
"Young gentleman. Learn to be a good person without studying. A mystery hides your love. I miss you so much. I hang out with crazy people and get into trouble. Use a few love words to lead..."

His heart was pounding, and he unconsciously opened the curtain of the carriage, got off the carriage, and saw a tall but flat man wearing a white gauze dress and a big red peony on the stone arch bridge, twisting his head. Waist, water sleeves fluttered in a decent manner, and she was dancing.

His face was wiped white, and his eyelids were smeared with red rouge. The ends of his eyes were upwardly raised, like the fairy who has enchanted the world. His arms were raised, revealing the upturned orchid fingers. A sad smile was fixed on Zhao Chi's face. , and it was instantly fixed in Gu Mingchen's heart.

At this moment, Gu Mingchen's legs went weak and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, the two elders of the Gu family had quick eyesight and quick hands to give him a hand.

"master!"

"Go back, go back!" Gu Mingchen's soul seemed to have been taken away by Zhao Chi. He turned around and ran away, but he was surrounded by crowds of people rubbing shoulders with each other. Everyone squeezed forward with their eyes wide open and excited. , how could he escape?

Gu Mingchen was covered in sweat. When he was squeezing forward, he accidentally pushed a rogue guy next to him. He was pushed over by the man with a sudden palm, "Why are you squeezing? Don't you see that there are people here? If you squeeze again... …”

Seeing the official uniform Gu Mingchen was wearing, the man finally stopped talking and disappeared with a squint of his body.

Gu Mingchen couldn't do such a thing. Earlier, Zhao Chi finished singing a song and started to sing "A Cut of Plum Blossoms" again. This song of boudoir complaints was sung by him sadly and gracefully. When Gu Mingchen heard it, he could only feel the sound of the song. It was like a knife cutting into his body.

He couldn't help but think, what would Zhao Zibi think if he saw it?

In order to appease the Zhao family, Marquis Huai'en sacrificed one of his daughters to marry the Zhao family. Unexpectedly, he still failed to save Zhao Chi's heart. The child still could not bear the blow and exiled himself like this.

And he also sacrificed a son!

Gu Jufang is the most outstanding son of the Gu family. He failed to harm Jia Cong, and finally harmed himself and Zhao Chi. Mei Wenhe was also implicated. The game in Dongshanyuan actually made Jia Cong a success.

"...The flowers are floating and the water is flowing. One kind of lovesickness, two places of idle sorrow. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I lower my brows, but it is in my heart."

Gu Mingchen stood there and saw that Zhao Chi was like a male goblin. Every move he made was better than the most outstanding dancer in the divine capital. Gu Mingchen followed the crowd and crowded toward him blankly. He didn't know when, His eyes were filled with tears without even realizing it.

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Chi burst into laughter. His lipsticked lips split open, revealing his white teeth. He looked up at the sky and shouted, "Jia Cong, Jia Cong, you are such a genius! I, Zhao Chi, It’s not your fault that Chi has fallen into this situation today. It was us who wanted to harm you in Japan, and you persecuted us backhand, making me live like a human being, a ghost or a ghost. It’s all my own fault!” After saying this, Zhao Chi took a step forward. Stepping on the railing of the arch bridge, he jumped down.

Everyone shouted loudly, and the servants of the Zhao family guessed that their young master wanted to die too often, which made them develop their skills. Two young men rushed forward, but they didn't do anything like the others. He went to pull Zhao Chi's clothes, but one person hugged one leg and pulled him hard.

Everyone's hearts dropped.

Zhao Chi was not annoyed, he turned around with a smile, touched the boy's head with one hand, and let the two boys lift him down again.

Gu Mingchen felt a little heartbroken when he saw all this happening. Seeing Zhao Chi being pulled into the carriage by the servants at home, the crowd dispersed, and Gu Mingchen got into his carriage with great disappointment and followed him away.

He didn't want to stay here for a moment, and was eager to leave as soon as possible. The carriage passed by the arch bridge, and just as he got off the bridge, a voice came from the carriage next door, "Master Gu, you're welcome!"

The voice was like a ghost, which made Gu Mingchen's body get goosebumps. He opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. Zhao Chi's heavily made-up face suddenly caught his eyeballs and raised his lips at him. With a smile, a face that was not so delicate at first turned out to be a bit charming, which made Gu Mingchen feel panicked.

"Nephew Chi, don't blame Shi Bo for being talkative. Life can never be smooth sailing. Han Xin still suffered humiliation, and Gou Jian also suffered hardships. If a man has ambition, there is no obstacle he can't overcome. Since you and that Huaien The girl from the Hou Mansion is getting married. From now on, don’t you want to forget the past and live a good life?"

Zhao Chi listened to him quietly and smiled at him again, his eyes curled into a pair of crescent moons, which surprised Gu Mingchen, an old man in his sixties.

"Master Gu, what should I do, Master Gu?"

"But you can't do anything like this! Speaking of which, you all suffered at the hands of Jia Cong. People outside don't know what happened that day. Is it possible that you don't know either? Why don't you think about it carefully, you and Fang'er have been friends for many years, what does he want to do to you?"

Zhao Chi remained unmoved, "Shibo, just think that I can't deal with Jia Cong, and you want to turn your anger on Brother Shi. Although he has lost his fame, he is much better than me after all.

Shibo, you don’t know that Zhao Shihua has no sympathy for her at all. That day, when I was running in the snow, I thought, since I can’t deal with it, I can finally deal with myself. ! "

After saying that, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and said in a high-pitched voice, "Let's go, it's not like we're going to die, it's bad luck! Just go back!"

Gu Mingchen sat in the carriage for a long time before he realized what was blocking his heart. He panicked and said, "Turn around, turn around, and pass the sign to the palace."

Even if Dai Quan repeatedly told him not to disturb the Supreme Emperor's purity, and to let the Supreme Emperor cultivate immortality well, and one of them would become enlightened in the future, he would not care that chickens and dogs like them could follow him to heaven.

Zhao Zibi will never let him go!
Jiangnan, Zhen family.

After searching for three days in a row, the front and rear doors of Zhen's house were sealed with seals. The people from Jingwei kept the whole circle airtight around them. All the yellow and white things had been sorted out, and the remaining Sealing and packaging.

In Xia Jin's camp, Jia Cong handed Xia Jin the house deeds, land deeds and account books of twelve of the best shops in the south of the Yangtze River and the capital, as well as the land deeds of [-] acres of fertile land. "Master, I spent my money to buy these." All the shops raided by the Zhen family are prosperous and clean."

Although, a prosperous shop with twelve rooms only cost 1000 taels of silver, and it also built a lot of fertile land.And the 1000 taels of silver finally returned to the army and fell into their hands, but the formalities were completed and they were not afraid of anyone talking.

Xia Jin took it and took a look at it. It was not too much, so he handed it to Jia Cong, "You can keep it. In the future, if Master is short of money and spends it, I will ask you for it again. Master has so little brains to worry about things in the army." It’s not over yet, there’s no time left to worry about this shop and the farm.”

Jia Cong had no choice but to take it. He also saved some in his hand, and with these, it was quite a lot.

When a house is searched, the emperor gets the big head, and the person who does the copy gets the small head. These are all agreed upon rules, and the emperor acquiesces to them.

Therefore, confiscating homes is the fastest way to get rich. Generally, those who are appointed by the emperor as ministers of confiscation are those who are in the emperor's heart.

Of course, Jia Cong does not count.

However, Xia Jin did not participate in the house raid, so he used this method to save some property for his master.

"Master, you are already quite a grown man. If you are afraid of disgracing your master and not marrying a real wife, you can also take a concubine to take care of you three meals a day and keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer!"

Xia Jin rolled his eyes at him, "Your skin is tight today. Do you want Master to help you loosen it up?"

"You don't dare!" Jia Cong said something naughty, and then he said seriously to Xia Jin, "Master, although my apprentice has been promoted to a general, he still only has more than 400 soldiers. When will he be able to replenish his army?" It’s all together, if we don’t make up for it, I will go and recruit troops on my own.”

To be honest, Jia Cong looked down on these soldiers in Ningbo. They were poisoned with wine and meat by the local wealthy gentry, and were frightened by the Japanese pirates. They ate and took more than anyone else and went to the battlefield. Just diarrhea.

If this kind of soldier really comes into your hands, it will take a long time to train the team.

"Li Jizong had a total of five or six thousand soldiers before. I selected four thousand, and I will leave these 4000 to you. The secret of leading troops is nothing more than combining kindness and power, and clear rewards and punishments. Look at your more than 400 soldiers." The leadership is pretty good, so I’m not worried about that. What I’m worried about is the Emperor’s clear edict this time. What are your plans for the Divine Army Camp?”

Jiangnan officialdom has been silent for a while. What is surprising is that no one from any faction submitted any information to the court. Everyone seemed to regard Jia Cong's copying of Zhen's house as a dream that night.

This made Xia Jin very uneasy.

After the secret document was handed over, the emperor issued an explicit decree, ordering Jia Cong to also lead the Shenbing camp and the general. Xia Jin learned from Jia Cong, what was the Shenba camp?
Jia Cong gave Xia Jin a Franconian firecracker from the side, "Master, you can give it a try. This firecracker has some improvements over the firecrackers we captured before, but if you want to make significant improvements, disciple I still need someone, if master knows any great blacksmiths, carpenters or Taoist priests, can you recommend them to your disciple?"

Xia Jin was a little confused. It didn't matter what kind of carpenter, blacksmith or craftsman he was. What he didn't understand was, what did this matter have to do with Taoist priests?
"Some Taoist priests know Feng Shui, some Taoist priests are good at reading, and some can read the sky. What kind of Taoist priest are you looking for?"

"The kind of Taoist priest who only wants to attain Taoism and become an immortal, making balls and eating them all day long, is the legendary alchemy cultivator."

Every Taoist priest who practices alchemy is the earliest chemist!

"I'll keep your attention first. You haven't said yet, what are you going to do with your divine army camp?" Xia Jin found that he was almost led astray by Jia Cong.
