Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division
Jia Heng, Xie Zaiyi, Cai Quan and others took the military report of Xie Zaiyi, a sixth-grade military attache, from the Wucheng Military and Horse Department's office, and went to the Wucheng Military and Horse Department in the east city, wearing official robes and riding horses.
Before arriving in the East City, Jia Heng thought it would be a dilapidated and depressed place, but when he saw it along the way, he saw that the streets were neat, the people were densely populated, and the prosperity was no less than that of the West City.
The Dongcheng Bingma Si Yamen is located on Wutong Street, which is full of Wutong Street.
It was already noon when the carriage stopped in front of the Soldiers and Horses Division.
Jia Heng, surrounded by Cai Quan and others, strode into the official hall without allowing the soldiers guarding the yamen to report.
In the Secretary's Office, a fat man wearing a clerk's uniform behind the desk put down his pen and said with a smile: "Old Zhao, a restaurant just opened in Dongshi called Yingfeng Building. Their lion head is good. After a while, Go get some.”
Another Kongmu said with a sad face: "I'm not as big-hearted as you, Old Wang. I heard that the new hall official is looking for someone to make a raft. All our commanders have been transferred to the main office."
Kong Mu, the man named Wang, said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? They officials are like a revolving door. They can never leave us who are doing things."
"You go first, wait a few seconds, some deputy commanders will come over, I will send these things to him." Kong Mu, surnamed Zhao, smiled and said, this old Wang was looking for him just because he wanted to find more. Just share the meal expenses alone.
"Okay, then you are busy." Kong Mu, surnamed Wang, smiled, straightened his official robe, stood up, and greeted the other assistants.
However, at this moment, a group of people came over the dark courtyard, and voices could be heard occasionally.
A soldier flashed into the Secretary's Office and said, "Sir, Master Jia is here!"
Kong Mu, surnamed Wang, had just found two assistants. When he heard this, he was stunned and did not react. He said, "Which Master Jia?"
"What else can I do? Give some advice to Mr. Jia from the Five Cities Military and Horse Department."
When everyone in the hall heard this, their expressions suddenly changed. They all stood up and walked out of the official hall to greet him.
At this time, Jia Hengye had already entered the courtyard, wearing a third-grade military attaché robe, and looked calmly at the officials who came out of the official hall.
"I have seen you in this humble position, Sir Commander."
Everyone is praying to see him.
Jia Heng said calmly: "Go to the hall with all the officials and soldiers above the general banner to talk."
With that said, he ignored the people below and went straight into the official hall.
Jia Heng sat behind the desk and said in a deep voice: "How many people are here, including Dongcheng Commander Huo Jun, Deputy Commander Tian Ze and others?"
Seeing no one responded for a long time, the official surnamed Zhao said: "Master Jia, Commander Huo is not feeling well and has taken leave. Deputy Commander Tian and the others are on official business at the moment and should return to the Yamen in a while."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "How many days has Huo Jun been sick? He hasn't been sitting in the Yamen office for a few days. His life as a commander is more comfortable than mine. Those of you who are familiar with him, tell him to take up his post in the Yamen office as soon as possible." If he dares to delay his new position again, I will definitely punish him for neglecting the superior officer and derelict in official duties!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Jia Heng said: "Huo Jun has been transferred to the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities and has another appointment. The commander of Dongcheng is now Xie Zaiyi. Go and call the four deputy commanders and recognize them."
The official surnamed Zhao immediately called a few soldiers and went to summon them separately.
Not long after, two military generals hurried in from outside, both wearing the robes of sixth-grade military attachés. As soon as they entered the official hall, they clasped their fists and confessed, saying: "Song Guangyuan is a humble official. Hou Kun has met Mr. Jia."
Jia Heng said: "The two deputy commanders arrived just in time. The commander of Dongcheng has been taken over by this Xie Zaiyi."
Song Guangyuan is a middle-aged military general. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at Xie Zaiyi. However, when he saw it, he was stunned and hesitated: "May I ask if Commander Xie is from the Beijing camp?"
Xie Zaiyi said in surprise: "Do you recognize me?"
Song Guangyuan smiled and said: "The name sounded familiar just now. I didn't expect it to be that Xie Baihu. Previously, the official document was sent to Dongcheng. I thought it was someone with the same name and the same surname. I didn't expect it to be Xie Baihu, known as Xiao Li Guang in Jingying."
Xie Zaiyi said: "Xiao Li Guang didn't dare to take the job, and now he is working as an errand with Mr. Jia."
Hou Kun watched the two reminiscing about old times from the side, his eyes flashed, and he also spoke in agreement with a smile.
Seeing a few people chatting with each other, Jia Heng also nodded secretly.
Xie Zaiyi is not a rootless duckweed. Even Feng Tang had heard of his name and wanted to take over the command of Dongcheng. He should be convinced by everyone.
"The Sanhe Gang thought that I was going to take the opportunity to rectify the Dongcheng Army and Horse Division before taking action, but the actual focus is not on Dongcheng, but on Jinyi Mansion. This is a smoke bomb released." Jia Heng looked at all the officials in Dongcheng The eyes and the expression of the primary school were reflected in his eyes.
There is no doubt that in this official hall, most likely there are informants from the Sanhe Gang.
Thinking of this, Jia Heng coughed, and suddenly there was silence in the hall.
Jia Heng met everyone's gazes and said: "Commander Xie took over Dongcheng. As you all know, it is nothing more than a major case that has caused a lot of fuss in Shenjing City recently. I was ordered by the emperor to appoint the five-city military department, so I had to do something. In order to fight against the outside world, we must first pacify the inside. The Five Cities Military and Horse Department needs to be rectified, and the East City needs to be rectified even more! The past atmosphere of perfunctory, lazy and indifferent needs to be swept away. "
These words actually hinted at Huo Jun's unwellness, but more importantly, they were sending a paralyzing signal to the Sanhe Gang's informants in the Dongcheng Bingma Division.
First, rectify the Dongcheng Military and Horse Department, and then make great efforts to clean up the Jianghu gangs in Dongcheng.
The two deputy commanders both said yes and expressed a few words of determination.
Jia Heng waited for a while and finally saw the two deputy commanders from Dongcheng who had arrived belatedly.
One Wei Yue and the other Hong Zhen entered the official hall and bowed down to Jia Heng in a polite manner.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The national examination candidate was beaten and maimed by a green-skinned rogue. The Holy Emperor was furious and the scholars were in an uproar. The green-skinned rogue came from Dongcheng. How do you deputy commanders feel?"
When Wei Yue heard this, he knelt on the ground with a bang and cried bitterly: "Sir, it's because of the incompetence of low-ranking people and others, that they allowed the Sanhe Gang to wreak havoc on one side and bring disaster to the whole place."
Seeing this, the expressions of the other deputy commanders changed, and they cursed secretly in their hearts, and they all knelt down to apologize. Seeing this, some officials and primary school officials in Dongcheng also knelt down to apologize.
Jia Heng pretended to ponder, and then shouted: "What's the use of talking about this now? The most urgent task now is to solve the case, give an explanation to the world, and bring peace to the city of Jingjing!"
Jia Heng said loudly, his eyes swept over the people kneeling below, and lingered on Wei Yue in front of him. Such a hard-working performance was really suspicious.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "In addition, the Dongcheng Army and Horse Division will launch a street cleaning operation from today on to clean out some young scoundrels who are idle and causing trouble, and train them into laborers, either picking up dung or sweeping the streets. , or clearing the canals, and at the same time, we must search for shops in Dongcheng and Dongshi, accept their actions and report them to the gangsters, and basically ensure that those who are sued will be held accountable!"
It is almost needless to think that this street cleaning operation will end in an anticlimax and end in catching a few idle second-rates. As for the disciples of the Sanhe Gang, not a single one will be caught!
And this is the second smoke bomb he released for the Sanhe Gang!
You thought I was complacent, so I promoted Huo Jun overtly and secretly, and launched a vigorous street-clearing operation, and then I took advantage of the situation.
But in fact, this is just a false shot!
Several deputy commanders in the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division and the main banner school responded in unison, and some even gave their chest-high assurances.
Seeing this, Jia Heng seemed very satisfied, and the coldness on his face dissipated a little, and said: "After talking about official matters, there is one more private matter. Tomorrow, Ningguo Mansion will hold a knighthood banquet to celebrate. If you all If you have time, you can come to the house for a glass of water and wine."
This knighthood banquet is the third smoke bomb.
Everyone in the official hall looked stunned when they heard this, and then some of them understood it and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir. I will definitely come and bother you."
He thought to himself that this kind of banquet is a good opportunity to get closer to Shangguan. It seems that Master Jia is indeed a young hero, caring about both public and private affairs.
Seeing this, Jia Heng said no more, looked at Xie Zaiyi aside and said, "Commander Xie, are you going back with me first, or are you sitting in the office now?"
Xie Zaiyi said: "Let's escort the Lord back first."
Jia Heng nodded and took Xie Zaiyi and Cai Quan out of the Dongcheng Army and Horse Department.
As soon as Jia Heng left, there were whispers in the official hall. Some were talking about how to give gifts to Mr. Jia tomorrow, and some were talking about the street cleaning operation. Since it was lunch time, the officials who were originally gathered around were talking about it. The students and primary schools naturally dispersed in twos and threes.
Dongcheng, Anyifang
Li Zhai, the former commander of Dongcheng, Huo Jun was having dinner with Li Jinzhu. After listening to what the official named Wang said, he sneered and said: "This General Jia thought that Huo would be promoted and demoted secretly, so he invited him to the capital camp. It is such a wishful thinking that one of our famous generals can control this whole group of people in Dongcheng!"
This former commander of Dongcheng, a sixth-grade military attache of the Han Dynasty, was in his early thirties. He had a face with a Chinese character, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a wide mouth. He looked quite heroic.
Li Jinzhu said: "Brother Huo, I'm going to get you involved again this time."
"Brother Li, don't worry about it. Once this limelight is over, the prince will transfer me to the Penglai Guard in Shandong and serve as the commander of the guard." Huo Jun raised the wine cup and said, "I will tolerate this kid for a while."
Li Jinzhu nodded and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I, Old Li, will go and meet Mr. Jia."
Huo Jun nodded, raised the wine cup, and said, "However, this Jia Heng kid is not easy to talk to. Brother Li must be prepared to quarrel with him." Gu Geng
He vaguely heard some rumors that even King Qi had suffered some losses in front of this person, but he didn't know the details.
Li Jinzhu smiled and said: "I, Mr. Li, am very aware of the dangers and will never act recklessly."
He is no longer the stupid fool who dared to fight and kill with a single sword and no worries. Whoever owns you will own the whole world
"However, we have to leave a way out, and we have to send the tiger cub out." Li Jinzhu raised the wine cup and handed it to his lips, his eyes slightly lowered, thinking.
…
…
After Jia Heng had lunch, he did not sit down at the Wucheng Bingma Si. Instead, after distributing invitations, he went to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen first.
Because today is the day when Jia Zhen was exiled from the army.
The Lingnan mountains are high and the roads are far away, shrouded in smog and full of snakes and leopards.
He always has to give it away.
In the cell next to Jingzhao Yamen, several Jingzhao Yamen officers escorted a middle-aged man with unkempt hair and a prison uniform, and moved out of the cell step by step amid the clatter of chains.
Jia Zhen wore a heavy yoke on her neck and chains at her feet. Because she had not seen the sun for a long time in the cell, she felt a little dizzy as soon as she came out. Her thin and dark face looked a bit haggard and pale, and her eyes were blank and absent-minded. .
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone in the distance, shouting: "Jia Zhen, your wife is here to see you off."
Jia Zhen's body trembled, her eyes were focused, and she looked around in a low voice.
I saw a carriage parked on the roadside, pulled by an old servant.
Beside the carriage, You stood looking at herself, and beside her was a maid carrying a food box.
Youshi, who has a green bun in the clouds, is wearing a brown undershirt. Her clothes are not as gorgeous as before, but are simple and simple. The charming and gorgeous face in the past is now as white as the sun without any makeup. A little bit haggard.
"Master..." Youshi called out softly when she saw Jia Zhen from a distance, and walked a few steps quickly. Although she did not shed tears, she still looked a bit sad.
Jia Zhen looked at Youshi and was stunned for a moment. She suddenly looked excited and said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here? Where are the others? Where is Brother Rong? Where are the old lady and the eldest man in Xifu?"
Youshi's face was pale, she pursed her lips, shook her head gently, tears gradually welled up in her eyes, and she said with a sore heart, "Master, they are not here anymore."
"Why didn't they come? But there was something in the house that delayed me?" Jia Zhen said with a look of hope on her face, "I'm going to Lingnan now. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. They should send someone to provide some money." . Even if they have forgotten, Brother Rong has to give some money to these officials in Dongfu, and it can also make my life more comfortable on the road. Let me tell you, after three to five years, there will be a general amnesty under the country, then Then, maybe I’ll put it back.”
Because Jia Zhen was imprisoned in a cell and cut off from news, she actually didn't know the recent changes in Shenjing City, nor did she know about Jia Heng's ennoblement or the promotion of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
Youshi looked at Jia Zhen, who was talking endlessly because she had been imprisoned for too long. After a while, after she finished speaking, she sighed: "Master, now there is a new master in the Ning Mansion, Rong." My brother is not in the East Mansion, and now he is living with the eldest master of the West Mansion."
"There is a new owner in the East Mansion? What's going on? Who is in charge of the East Mansion now?" Jia Zhen's face changed drastically after hearing this. She thought about it and said in surprise: "Is it Brother Qiang?"
You shook his head slightly, with complicated eyes, and said quietly: "It's Uncle Heng."
"Who is Uncle Heng? Huh? Little Jia Heng?!" Jia Zhen's pupils shrank, her whole body was trembling because of her anger, and she exclaimed: "How could it be him? It shouldn't be him! He What qualifications do you have to live in Ningguo Mansion? That belongs to our branch..."
Youshi's beautiful face paused slightly, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Master, let's have some wine and food first. What's going on here cannot be explained clearly in a few words."
Hearing this, Jia Zhen suppressed the shock and anger in her heart. At this moment, she felt extremely hungry and thirsty in her belly. The food in the cell was simply pig food. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
At this time, You took the food box from the maid and placed the dishes on the stone table. Then she whispered to the maid beside her to get a few taels of silver and ask the officer if he could open the heavy yoke so that the prisoner could eat. .
The officer thought for a while, took the key, came over and removed Jia Zhen's shackles, and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up, Master Dianshi will set off on the road after he finishes dispatching the mission."
Youshi responded and thanked the officer.
Jia Zhen took off the heavy shackles and felt relaxed all over. She just lowered her eyes and looked at the dishes, frowned and said: "Why are they so bland? There are not many meat dishes?"
Listening to Jia Zhen's picky words, Mrs. You sighed quietly and said, "My mother's life is also very difficult. The master committed a crime. My wife was also killed by someone from the Ministry of Rites yesterday. This fish, this chicken, things that I was tired of eating in the past may not be available every time in the future.”
At this time, Jia Zhen tore up a roast chicken and looked up at You. Only then did she realize that she was not wearing silk clothes. She couldn't help being surprised and asked again: "Where is Ning Mansion? I remember there are many Zhuangzi in Ning Mansion." , shop, tens of thousands of taels of silver a year."
"It all belongs to Uncle Heng." You filled a glass for Jia Zhen, with a wry smile on her graceful and soft face. In addition, there were still tears on her jade face, which made me pity her even more.
Before Jia Zhen could ask in anger, Youshi explained: "Originally, because of the old master's removal from the title, the palace couldn't bear that Ning Guo had to cut off the incense and worship, and wanted to transfer the title to him..."
"What, this is so unreasonable? Why give it to him!" Jia Zhen heard this, her eyes almost burst into flames, and the scraps of roast chicken she was eating in her mouth were mixed with greasy saliva and spit out, which landed on Youshi's smooth and jade-like face. On the face.
You Shifang sighed secretly, wiped her face with a handkerchief, and said: "Master, please listen to me. The palace issued an edict to transfer the title to him, but he didn't want it, and then wrote a letter " "Resignation List".
Jia Zhen snorted coldly, and without thinking about her resignation, she said: "He is self-aware!"
"It is said that this "Resignation Letter" was written with sincere words, and it also spread the reputation of Uncle Heng's virtue throughout the capital, but the originally issued imperial edict to ascend the title has no effect." You said here, The jade face paused slightly, and the figure of the young man could not help but be reflected in the lake of her heart, as well as Huan's words that still linger in her heart when she thinks about them:
"Madam, it's better to watch the road when walking. If you fall and break your appearance, with Jia Zhen's lustful temper, it is impossible to say that she will divorce her wife and marry another..."
Jia Zhen frowned and said angrily: "Since he resigned, why did he move into Dongfu again?"
You raised her eyes and looked at the disheveled husband opposite her. She suppressed the strange thoughts in her heart and explained: "The second master of Xifu invited him to be the head of Ningguo because of his virtue. The palace issued an edict to let him serve as a child. In order to worship the ancestors of Ning State, there is also a saying in the palace that Ning Guo Mansion was originally built with money from the national treasury. Then, soon he suppressed the bandits in Cuihua Mountain, made great achievements, and captured the bandit leader alive, and then The palace conferred the title of Third-level General Yunhui on him."
"This..." Jia Zhen heard the shocking news. Her pale face was almost distorted. The chicken legs in her hands seemed to have lost their fragrance and tasted like chewing wax. She looked up to the sky and roared: "How could this be! God is so blind, how can Jia Heng be allowed to do this?" The child is knighted!"
When You saw Jia Zhen losing her temper and roaring, she sighed quietly. She didn't know how to comfort her for a while, but she didn't think much about it. She changed the subject and said, "Sir, Feng Yatou sent Miss Ping'er earlier to say that Ning Mansion will be here tomorrow. Celebrating the knighthood of Mr. Heng, he said that he wanted to take me into the Ning Mansion because he thought that my life was difficult..."
"Take you to Ning's Mansion?" Jia Zhen suddenly stopped and roared. As if struck by thunder, she suddenly stared at Youshi with a pair of tiger-wolf-like eyes. Her black hands suddenly grabbed Youshi's slender shoulders. His eyes gradually became bloodshot and scarlet, and he roared angrily: "Do you also want to enter the Ning Mansion? Don't think I don't know. You are used to enjoying wealth and glory, and one day you want to climb into the bed of that uncle Heng!" Continue to enjoy prosperity and wealth!"
"I didn't! Master, I don't plan to go there." Hearing this, Youshi's delicate body trembled slightly, her face turned pale, tears filled her eyelashes, and she said in a trembling voice: "Master, you... you hurt me. .”
Jia Zhen looked at Youshi with ferocious features, full of resentment and anger burning in her heart.
He is Uncle Zhen, and now Jia Heng's son is Uncle Heng!
He is a third-class mighty general, and Jia Heng's son is a third-class general Yunhui!
He lives in Ningguo Mansion, and now Uncle Heng also lives in Ningguo Mansion!
Yes, that uncle Heng took away everything from him and now lives in Ningguo Mansion with all his majesty and great pleasure. He must be thinking of cuckolding him?
He won't tolerate it!
Thinking of this, Jia Zhen seemed to think of that scene, where his wife, You Shi, was gently expressing joy under Jia Heng's child's crotch...
I felt a surge of anger, and the evil fire hit my forehead.
Looking at the pitiful wife in front of her, with her charming face and eyes, I felt anger rising in my heart, and hatred growing in my guts.
Both hands let go of Youshi's thin shoulders and pinched towards the slender neck.
He must not be cuckolded!
Absolutely not...
"Crazy, Master is crazy..." Seeing this scene, Youshi's maid, her childish face turned pale, she screamed in shock, and she was at a loss what to do.
And Youshi was choked by Jia Zhen, despair appeared in her beautiful eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, her beautiful and sad white face was already flushed, and she whimpered: "Master..."
In the carriage carriage, Second Sister You, who was wearing a emerald white skirt, and Third Sister You, who was wearing a bright red skirt, were whispering something to themselves. When they heard the noise, they looked away in a show of prestige, almost turning pale with fright. He quickly opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, rushing towards Jia Zhen.
At this time, Youshi had been pinched so hard that she couldn't breathe. Her beautiful eyes gradually became blurred, and her consciousness was even a little confused.
Gein, Jia Zhen almost vented all the resentment in her heart during this pinch.
But at this moment, he heard a loud shout, "What a bastard!"
Then he saw a flying kick, kicking half of Jia Zhen's face, knocking her to the ground.
"Ahem..."
You Shi coughed violently, bowed down slightly, covered his neck with both hands, panting like a fish dying of thirst, his beautiful eyes showed the joy of surviving the disaster.
Jia Heng, who was wearing the official robe of a third-grade military general, stood nearby, looked coldly at several soldiers from Jingzhao Yamen, and asked: "Why do you let the prisoners be alone with their families!"
