Chapter 198: The Fire (6,000 chapters asking for monthly tickets)
Jia She's heart was trembling.
He, holding a big knife, also chopped down a man in black.
Although the opponent had been injured by the teammate in front, he was considered to have gained an advantage, but this was a battlefield!
He is on the battlefield.
Ahhh~~ Jia She wanted to scream, wanted to yell, wanted to... call daddy! But there was no time.
No time at all.
Lan Zhi and his men had turned their horses around and were charging back.
Of course he couldn't be too cowardly while being protected in the rear.
The niece didn't want to acknowledge him.
If he hadn't told me that Dongfu's sister-in-law was in danger, maybe no one would have paid any attention to him.
He felt sorry for her, sorry for his father, sorry... for her whole family.
Jia She quickly turned his horse's head and shouted: "Kill~~~"
The cry of "kill" seemed to give him special power. Endless strength surged in his body, and he chopped off a head with a sharp move of his knife.
But at the same time, his shoulder also felt a pain.
Just when Jia She thought his life was over, Lan Zhi's broadsword stabbed in from the side and blocked the opponent's attack.
She was quite angry.
Killing the enemy requires skill.
Acting recklessly will hurt the enemy by a thousand and your own eight hundred.
This is also a taboo on the battlefield.
No soldier would be willing to follow such a general.
This means that they will not live long.
When Lan Zhi's big knife blocked a sword for his uncle, he was so angry that he wanted to curse his mother.
But she didn't have time to curse. She quickly turned her sword from blocking to the opponent's side, and then swung it violently.
Bu~ A large amount of blood mixed with hot white brain matter fell from half of the black-clothed man's head.
"Nigesar."
A man in black realized something was wrong and turned his horse to flee, mumbling something that no one could understand.
But just because you don't understand something doesn't mean you haven't heard it.
"Japanese pirates, they are Japanese pirates!"
Jia She's eyes were red with anger.
How did their family end up getting in trouble with the Japanese pirates again? And these people...
"Kill~~~~~~"
When the Thirteen Guards of Ningxia heard that they were Japanese pirates, how could they let them escape?
Lan Zhi couldn't bear to part with her sword, so she leaned forward while riding her horse, grabbed the long sword that some black-clad man had dropped, and threw it fiercely...
Poof! It hit the target person right in the back.
Now that she has succeeded, the other twelve people will certainly not sit idle, right?
Although everyone was riding the same horses, it was obvious that the people from the Thirteen Guards were better at horse riding skills.
"Leave two alive."
Seeing that they were about to kill them all in no time, Jia She hurriedly shouted to leave two behind.
I really have to stay.
It is impossible for the Japanese pirates to run so far with such a clear goal of killing my eldest brother and his wife's family.
The person behind the scenes has to be brought out.
"Don't worry, I'll keep it."
At the feet of the man who was speaking, there was a man in black who had fallen off his horse in a hurry and panic.
The work here is done, over there...
The man in black in front of the carriage began planning to escape as soon as he discovered that something was wrong on their side.
But even Doctor Bai in the carriage could see through their little thoughts, not to mention Shen Ning and the palace guards.
"The wind is strong, hurry up~"
The man in black who was speaking was about to ride away when Wen Peilan's long whip came swiping and caught him right around the waist.
But his horse had already sensed his master's intention, after all, it had been slapped on the butt.
It rushed out with a whoosh.
The man in black, whose body was grabbed, fell to the ground with a bang without any surprise.
Just as he was about to stand up to resist, Fan Daming's sword was already on his neck.
This? The veins on his forehead jumped uncontrollably. He finally gave up resisting and avoided the knife. He turned his head carefully and looked at Shen Ning, "Are you Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion?"
Shen Ning: “…”
“…Huh!”
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the man in black smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky."
With her here, the boss's mission has failed.
He...failed too.
It's a pity that Jia Zhen didn't have a gun, but she, a woman in the inner house, actually carried a missionary's musket with her and was a very good shot at it.
Humph~ "However, you are lucky, but your husband Jia Jing is not."
He smiled and said, "And Jia Zhen, if you were a step later, you would have to collect his body."
This woman has harmed them, so don't think anything good will come of it.
"Congratulations, Jia Jing died because of you, and you are now a widow."
As he said that, he suddenly pressed Fan Daming's knife against his neck.
Poof! The blood splattered on the snow, shocking to the eye.
“…”
Shen Ning's heart trembled as she looked at the blood that was steaming a little.
She didn't care about this person, and turned to Wen Peilan with the musket loaded with the last ammunition, "Go to Taixuan Temple, quickly!"
Even though it may be too late, I still have to go and have a look.
In the Red Mansion, Jia Jing died from a mess of so-called elixirs, but here...
Although they only met once after traveling through time, Shen Ning knew that he was the pillar of the Jia family.
That's why Grandmother Jia cried so sadly after his death in Dream of the Red Chamber.
The emperor despised the Jia family so much that after his death, he also granted him a posthumous title of the fifth rank. In addition to allowing his descendants to carry the coffin back to his hometown after the funeral, he also ordered the Guanglu Temple to offer sacrifices according to the above example.
now……
Although the Jia family is completely different from the Jia family in the book, Shen Ning feels at ease as long as Jia Jing is around.
She knew that he was still secretly paying attention to the Jia family, and if anything went wrong, he would be able to cover half of the responsibility for her.
The horse ran very fast, and the Twelve Guards of Ningxia also followed Lan Zhi and caught up.
However, Jia Zhen, because of his injury, could only catch up slowly by car.
He prayed in his heart that his father was okay.
His father is so powerful that he managed to escape death. It is impossible that his father would not let him see him even for the last time.
Jia Zhen was praying in his heart, but the fear on his face was so obvious.
Old Doctor Bai glanced at him, sighed in his heart, and said nothing.
After practicing medicine for many years, the old man has seen many cases of life and death.
But this world is particularly harsh on women.
The last few words spoken by the man in black were clearly directed at Madam Gloomy.
I don't know if Mr. Zhen understands this.
The old man was a little worried.
There are too many women who died silently in the deep mansions.
Many times, it is clearly the man's fault, but in the end, the man will blame the woman.
Women bear the consequences for them.
After the woman suffered the consequences, their hearts...felt at ease.
Alas~ Old Doctor Bai closed his eyes slightly.
There is more than just Jia Jing in Taixuan Temple.
I hope those people are okay. If anything, Mrs. Shen might have to carry some things on her back.
At this moment, time seemed to become extremely long, yet also seemed to become extremely short.
Shen Ning's mind was in a mess.
She seemed to be thinking a lot, but also seemed to be thinking nothing.
Getting closer.
It wasn't that Taixuan Temple was on fire, but… there were still many places in the villa where she and Jia Jing once lived that were smoking.
Several people from Taixuan Temple who were carrying water to put out the fire saw them coming up and hurriedly dodged, with fear in their eyes.
"Master, where is my elder brother?"
Jia She held on to the last bit of hope and stared at the embarrassed master of the temple.
“Dead…dead.”
The master of the temple swayed and knelt down in the snow. "Those people came over and threatened the lives of all of us in the temple, asking Mr. Jia to show up himself..."
His tears fell.
They had hidden themselves well, but his master and uncle were killed one after another, then his two fellow apprentices, and then his apprentice...
"Mr. Jia showed up."
Just when he couldn't help but point out his hiding place, he showed up on his own initiative.
The master of the temple has always known that Mr. Jia is a powerful man.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people giving him money to keep an eye on him.
But those people only told us to keep an eye on them, not to kill them! But the man in black...
"Mr. Jia said that he was a star in the sky, and he wanted to die in a spectacular way!"
The abbot looked at the burned-down courtyard and said, "Those people tied him up and put him in the house where he wanted to die."
With shaking hands, he pointed to the area where the fire was the worst and even the wall had collapsed.
Shen Ning's heart had sunk to the bottom, but...
She looked at the master bedroom where her original body once lived, and memories came flooding back.
Unlike other rooms, this room has a tunnel.
That year they lived in a Taoist temple and built a separate courtyard, and Jiao Da also followed them.
The tunnel was designed by Jia Jing and dug secretly by Jiao Da.
exit……
Shen Ning's eyes unconsciously glanced at the dog hole in the courtyard wall.
Originally I wanted to buy a few dogs to guard the house.
If you want someone to be loyal, you have to cultivate them from a young age.
So the original body and Jia Jing bought one first, wanting to raise it, but it was poisoned to death just when they had fed it well.
The two tossed and turned for several days and finally gave up the plan of raising a dog.
"Brother, brother~~~"
Jia She knelt on the ground, crying and pounding the ground, "We are too late! Ah, my elder brother, you died so tragically~~~~~"
He cried so much that tears and snot came down.
Lan Zhi took a look and couldn't help but walk towards her aunt who seemed to be stunned, "Aunt, if you want to cry, just cry!"
She doesn't worry about people who cry, but this one doesn't cry…
It's easy to get into trouble.
When she was a child, her mother once told her enviously that her uncle and aunt in Ningguo Mansion had a very good relationship.
Although my aunt went back home to give birth to my little cousin and never came back that year, my uncle still gave her all the money he had to support my little cousin.
Others say that my aunt is the most fierce woman in Dazhao, but if you ask her, it's just that one of them is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten.
Moreover, my aunt who returned home was not idle either.
Under her reorganization, the Jia family is really better than before.
In Lanzhi's opinion, this is also what Uncle Dongfu wants to see most.
Their general, Lord Jiang, said that the uncle and aunt in the East Palace were very powerful.
Now my aunt is like this...
"You guys go out, I want to be alone for a while."
Shen Ning dropped the gun and slowly walked towards the burned house. "Everyone, leave. He doesn't like crowds."
“…”
“…”
Jia She, who was crying, was frightened when he saw his sister-in-law like this. "Sister-in-law~" he cried in a pitiful voice, "Don't scare me!"
"Go! I'll let you go!"
Shen Ning turned around, with an intimidating light in her eyes, "Go and bring Zhen'er, Yue'er, and Rong'er over here."
It turned out that he wanted to call the children.
Jia She nodded quickly, "I'll go find her. I'll go right away."
He wiped away his tears, stood up and was about to leave.
“Slowly!”
Fang Dayou hurriedly pulled him back, "Master Jia, if we don't help take Mr. Jia's body away..."
“This is a family matter.”
Shen Ning sniffed and said, "I won't bother outsiders."
At this point, she looked at Lan Zhi, "Lan Zhi, I'm glad you're back. Help us find the man in black and avenge your uncle!"
"Um!"
Lan Zhi nodded vigorously, "Aunt, don't worry, I won't let those people have an easy time."
The two men in gray who came from afar sighed softly when they saw the situation here.
Fortunately, Mrs. Shen and Jia Zhen are still alive.
As for Jia Jing...
It is not easy to kill the emperor, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want him to die.
Even the emperor would definitely prefer to see the current situation.
They also didn't think that Jia Jing could survive in a place that was burned like this.
If you are a step late, then just be a step late!
From the time Lady Shi reported the matter to the police, to the time she went to the palace, and then to explain things to the retired emperor, it took a lot of time.
They arrived faster than Chief Constable Lu of Shuntian Prefecture and Zhu Si of the Wucheng Military Command.
The emperor emeritus should not punish.
The two people came quietly and left quietly.
On the way down the mountain, they saw Captain Lu and Zhu Si joining Jia Zhen's carriage.
Needless to say, these two people must have asked questions as they walked.
Those corpses at the foot of the mountain...
After going down the mountain, they saw a large group of people coming from the Jia family.
Fortunately, the corpses and other things were moved aside.
They found the captain wearing the uniform of the Wucheng Bingma Division and showed him his ID card. "Tell us what you found out."
"……yes!"
Dragon Mark Order! From the other party's slightly shrill voice, the captain knew that he was the emperor's man. When the prince got into trouble, the eunuch holding the Dragon Mark Order had bad luck wherever he went.
The captain did not dare to hide anything and told everything that the injured guard left behind by the Jia family had said, as well as what his colleagues from the previous team who had been guarding the bodies had said.
"…Among the forty-three bodies here, there are about thirty Japanese."
"How can you be sure?"
"They are generally shorter than us, and they hold the knife differently, and the calluses on their hands are different from ours."
“…”
“…”
The two men in gray looked at the corpse at the same time and asked, "Didn't they say there was a survivor? Where is the survivor?"
"Dead. Poisoned."
Their remaining staff were also very depressed about this.
"Lord Jia She warned us before he left. Our people removed his jaw and took out the poisonous fangs. Who knew that their collars were also poisonous? He...is not a Japanese pirate, but a member of our Dazhao. He should be a death warrior."
This was because someone from Dazhao colluded with the Japanese pirates and launched a fatal attack on the Ningguo Mansion.
The first people that the Wucheng Bingmasi suspected were some big salt merchants in the south.
After all, colluding with Japanese pirates was something the Li family had done before.
Of course, they still had some doubts in their hearts, but the object of their suspicion was not something that their Five Cities Army could interfere with.
For everyone's sake, I'll have to keep my doubts to myself for now.
However, the salt merchants in Jiangnan... are all very rich.
Be suspicious of them, maybe everyone can make some money to spend.
They were talking here while Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Rong Ge'er were walking along. Although they had seen several corpses before, there were too many of them here...
Looking towards the direction of Taixuan Temple from afar, the three of them couldn't help but have red eyes.
Especially Rong Ge'er.
Although my grandmother and father are fine, my grandfather...
Although grandpa never gave me a good face, he was still grandpa! If grandpa got into trouble, would grandma be able to bear it? Rong Ge'er was very worried.
They went up the mountain at a faster speed.
It was almost dark at this time.
When she met Jia She on the road, Rong Ge'er burst into tears, "Uncle, my grandfather..."
"...Brother is gone."
Jia She wiped away his tears again and said, "Your father is injured. You go up and comfort your grandmother. I will go back now and bring little Yue'er over."
At least give my brother a ride.
"Zhu'er, Lian'er, go up there and persuade your aunt to do whatever she asks you to do."
"yes!"
"……yes!"
The two brothers looked at each other and answered in unison.
The uncle of the East Mansion is gone, and they...
Jia Zhu and Jia Lian couldn't help crying.
Their fathers were not very reliable. It was okay when their grandfather was alive, but after their grandfather passed away, although Uncle Jing was already in a Taoist temple, he would still give them advice whenever they came over.
When I go home during the New Year holidays, I will talk to them alone.
Jia Lian entered the court and came to ask his uncle for advice. His uncle helped him analyze the preferences of many adults.
He taught him to be diligent and memorize all kinds of data. When adults asked him questions, he could answer them immediately. He...
Jia Lian couldn't help crying out loud.
…
Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.
Because the place was relatively remote, Jia Zheng was the last one to know about the situation at home.
he……
He walked around the room.
There were so many things in his mind that he dared not think about.
If something happens to Dongfu's eldest sister-in-law and Zhen'er, Rong'er is still young and can't support the family, then...
"Master, have a cup of tea!"
Aunt Zhou doesn’t know why good people don’t live long in this world.
The eldest lady and the eldest master of the East Mansion have never done anything unfair to the master and the mistress.
But these two people...
"Open the door of the small Buddhist hall."
Jia Zheng ignored the cup of tea and said, "I will go in and pray to the Bodhisattva, asking him to bless my eldest brother and his family to be safe and sound."
Really? No way! Aunt Zhou suspected that he wanted to tell his wife about the situation in the East Palace.
Having followed the master since she was a child, she knows him very well.
In the past, many times when he wanted to do something, he would just put on an aggrieved face or sigh a few times, and the old lady and his wife would get things done for him.
He is clean and knows nothing.
But the good thing... is all here with him.
What do you want a wife for now? Go there with your whole family to be Rong Ge'er's housekeeper?
The eldest grandmother of the East Mansion, Youshi, had no children. They were the elders, and as long as they got the support of the old lady...
Aunt Zhou's mind was in a state of confusion, but she quickly took out the key to the Buddhist temple and said, "Master, it's slippery outside. Let me help you."
Jia Zheng ignored her thoughtfulness. When he went to the small Buddhist hall, Wang was already in bed.
It was cold, and the charcoal fire she had here was barely enough to last through the day.
In order to save some charcoal, Wang went to bed early every day to rest.
The door rang, and there were footsteps... It seemed that one of them was the master's.
Wang frowned, she was too lazy to argue with him.
It takes strength to quarrel.
Especially after Baoyu stopped coming, the master would come over and scold her whenever he was a little unhappy.
What a vicious woman, stupid woman...
Humph~ You can only say those few words when you insult someone.
He said it wasn't annoying, but she was tired of hearing it.
Wang rolled her body in the quilt, trying to press both sides tightly, to prevent the man from getting angry and coming over to lift her quilt again.
"I pray that the Buddha will bless my elder brother and his wife, and my nephew Jia Zhen, so that he can return home safely!"
Jia Zheng seemed to have really come to ask for the Buddha's blessing, and he kept talking about things that everyone knows now.
The more Wang listened, the brighter her eyes became.
Wang Zisheng, who also received the news, specially ordered people to serve wine to celebrate the misfortune of the eldest branch of the Jia family.
Humph~ So what if they don't recognize the Wang family? His eldest brother is the General of Zhennan, and the Prince of Nan'an might be replaced by his eldest brother.
Wang Zisheng is very satisfied with the current situation.
Although Jia Lian is a member of the Jia family, he is also his family's nephew-in-law. On the surface, the relationship is clear, but the supplies that the armory should give to his eldest brother cannot be reduced by a single cent.
If you dare to give less, it will be a revenge! "Master, I'm afraid something happened in the palace. I heard that the princes of various palaces have handed in their cards and want to enter the palace."
"oh?"
Wang Zisheng took a sip of his wine and said, "Then let's go check it out."
The fact that so many princes are flocking into the palace must be related to the retired emperor.
His eldest brother voted for the emperor, so the emperor emeritus didn't care.
"By the way, go to the west city gate and ask around. If the Jia family returns with the coffin, report back immediately. I'll go and join in the fun, Master."
Humph, bullying the Wang family?
Is this retribution? The Wang family can’t do anything to the Jia family for now, but there are people who can help them deal with it.
"yes!"
The housekeeper hurried off to inquire about the news.
Xinping Hou Cheng Luo and Yuanchun, who also received the news, split into two groups, one went to Taixuan Temple and the other returned to her parents' home.
Cheng Luo, who was heading to Taixuan Temple, looked at the charcoal fire and clay stove prepared by his wife and couldn't help but sigh.
Yuanchun also prepared a lot of snacks in the back car.
Even the fire-making women were brought along with them.
He knew that she was worried that his aunt and her family would not be able to return to Beijing tonight and would not even be able to drink hot tea.
The more Cheng Luo likes Yuanchun, the closer he gets to the Jia family. Now that the Jia family is in trouble...
“Hurry up!”
He urged the driver.
The convoy quickly sped up.
When Yuanchun, who had rushed back to her mother's home, took her little cousin into her third aunt Jia Jin's arms, the little cousin was crying because it was late and she was looking for her mother.
"Don't cry!"
Jia Zhen was the elder, and although she was also worried and wanted to cry, she had to hold back her tears because her nieces were crying. "That's why I drove Yingchun and Mei'er away."
It was difficult to coax little Yue'er when she was looking for her mother, and while they were coaxing her, she actually started crying.
This is not to comfort the child, but to cause trouble.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I won't cry!"
Yuanchun wiped the tears from her little sister and said, "Auntie will be fine. She may be on her way back now."
She took out a coral bracelet for her little sister to play with. "Last time you came back, you held on to it and wouldn't let it go. This time I'm giving it to you, so don't cry anymore."
“…”
I don’t know what little girl Jia Yue is saying, she just likes red things.
She liked everything about this coral bracelet and wanted to chew it as soon as she got it.
"Oh, this is not edible."
Yuanchun hurriedly took her little hand and asked, "Aunt, has she eaten yet?"
"Don't worry, I've eaten."
Jia Zhen tapped her niece's forehead and said, "She has reached this stage. She wants to taste everything she sees."
As she spoke, she stuffed a toothbrush that Aunt Li had specially made by kneading eggs and flour into her mouth, "Eat this. Your mother specially asked Aunt Li to make this for you."
When Youshi sent her little niece over, she also sent over everything she needed.
"Ahh~~"
Jia Yue also wanted to taste the red coral skewers.
Yuanchun had no choice but to hide it again. "When I came back, there was news from the palace that the old lady had fainted in Shoukang Palace. It might take a while for them to come back. This family..."
At this moment, the maid's voice full of surprise came from outside, "The old lady is back."
