"Really?" Jia Jing asked back, his indifferent expression gradually becoming serious.
At this moment, Jia Rong even felt that the temperature in the dark clean room had dropped a bit. He looked into Jia Jing's eyes. It was a look as sharp as an eagle's eye, sharp and sharp, like a knife.
He only heard Jia Jing's slightly hoarse voice.
"Isn't this nice?"
Jia Rong narrowed her eyes slightly, met the sharp gaze, and replied without giving in: "It's very good. But it's too unhuman to do this." First, he used my wife as bait, and then borrowed Zhang Hongchen and Zhang Hongchen. Jin Yisi used his hands to clean up the Shenjing Holy Sect, harmed Baoyu again, and used the help of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs and the Holy Sect to deal with Zhang Hongchen. I don’t know if I am being used as a pawn to plan something."
"Didn't Rong'er once want to eliminate the hidden dangers of Ningguo Mansion in the court?" Jia Jing sneered, "Isn't the current situation what you want to see the most? In the future, will you be a law-abiding Fourth Grade Lord, or will you quietly Develop your own power and no one will leak the secrets."
"Are you Jia Xiao and Jia Di?" Jia Rong asked sarcastically.
Jia Jing sneered and said, "You can even attack Zhen'er, but why would you worry about the relatives of two sects? If necessary, not to mention brother Jia Xiao, what's the matter if everyone in Rongguo Mansion dies?"
Hearing these cold-blooded words, Jia Rong wanted to ask if those were family members, but he couldn't say the words. Because he was not without sins on his hands. Although it was for self-protection, Jia Zhen's death was indelibly related to him.
Brother Rong said: "That's why I gave the book to King Beijing."
"No, since Ronger used the book to test me, why can't I use the book to test the Beijing Palace?" Jia Jing's eyes slowly softened, and his tone became slightly lighter. He smiled and said: "Rong'er is also suspicious of Prince Beijing's Mansion. Don't you also want to find out what Prince Beijing is thinking? I just helped Ronger do it in advance."
"Is that so?" Jia Rong asked again. He didn't know how many times he said this today, because Jia Rong could no longer understand the purpose of Jia Jing's actions. At the same time, in Jia Rong's heart, just as Jia Jing said, he was guarding against Jia Jing.
It’s really tiring to be on guard against people, especially being guarded against the people around you all the time.
"Rong'er is too suspicious. You are suspicious of me, everyone in the Jia family, and everyone around you." Jia Jing said politely, sighed, waved his fly whisk, and said: "Don't you feel tired like this? Ningguo Mansion Now you are the only one left here, if I harm you, what good will it do to me."
is that so?
Jia Rong still felt something was wrong, and many things didn't make sense.
What did you overlook?
Jia Rong thought for a long time, and suddenly...
Yes, Jia She and Jia Lian. When I came back yesterday, I heard someone in the mansion mentioned that the provincial residence had been repaired, and they had asked the palace for instructions. At this time, Jia She suddenly sent Jia Lian to Ping'an Prefecture to handle matters.
He asked: "What is the relationship between the Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture and our Jia family?"
"It doesn't matter." Jia Jing said.
"Impossible. If it had nothing to do with it, how could Jia She send Jia Lian to see Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedu Envoy every year?" Jia Rong stared at Jia Jing closely. He must figure this out. If he doesn't figure it out, he won't know what's going on in his heart. rest assured.
Jia Jing looked at Jia Rong and remembered his former self. Finally backed down and said in a slow voice: "The governor of Ping'an Prefecture was once a member of Prince Yi Zhong's party, and then he defected to the present, and only then did he seek his current official position. That person has many real clues about the close contacts between the Jia family and Prince Yi Zhong. , the Jia family can only have close communication with him for the time being."
"Blackmail?" Two words blurted out from Jia Rong's mouth.
Jia Jing said: "Whether it's blackmail or appeasement. In short, Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedushi doesn't dare to report those things, otherwise he will also suffer."
"Can the Master trust an outsider so much?"
"I only believe that a normal person will not seek death. Now his crime is more serious than that of Ning and Rong."
Jia Rong's heart trembled as she looked at Jia Jing, who was in a calm mood. Suddenly I thought of the Holy Cult in Ping'an Prefecture. Could it be that Ping'an Prefecture Jiedu was protecting the Holy Cult? I'm afraid the method was Jia Jing's fault.
Jia Jing smiled slightly, the gray beard on his chin not even moving. Jia Jing said: "Rong'er already knows the whole truth, but have you made plans for the future?"
Intend?
What's the plan?
Jia Rong said: "I can't trust the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture."
Jia Jing said: "Didn't Ronger once say that one more friend is better than one more enemy? By bringing potential threats into the same camp, enemies become friends. You have to trust your friends, not to mention someone who is more powerful than us." Friends who wish to keep things private.”
Damn, Jia Jing is definitely an old bastard.
Jia Rong could imagine that perhaps at first the Ping An Prefecture Jiedushi just wanted to extort some money from the Jia family, but later he was slowly tricked by Jia Jing into becoming the protective umbrella of the Ping An Prefecture Holy Cult. He didn't know what Jia Jing did, but the military governor of Ping'an Prefecture was definitely not having a good time now. The military governor of Ping'an Prefecture was deceived by Jia Jing.
Jia Rong asked: "Master, is he the mysterious Golden Lord of the Holy Religion?"
He was very suspicious that those who planned so much behind not only benefited the Holy Sect, but also urgently drove the Qingzun faction of the Holy Sect out of Shenjing. It can only show that Jia Jing has a deep relationship with the Holy Cult. The styles of Jia Jing and Jin Zun are so similar. It is even possible that Jia Jing is the Jin Zun who never shows up.
Jia Jing said: "Our Ningrong and Rong Mansion have nothing to do with the Holy Cult. We didn't have it in the past. Whether we will have it in the future... it all depends on Ronger's choice."
"What if I just want to be a peaceful fourth grader?"
"Then our Jia family has nothing to do with the Holy Religion anymore." Jia Jing laughed and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"What have you thought about?"
"The Holy Buddha's mother sneaked into Ningguo Mansion to plot evil intentions. Naturally, she had to be arrested and sent to the Yamen. This was a great achievement. At the same time, she could also attract people from the Bai Zun lineage of the Holy Sect, such as Bai Zun's envoys and agricultural envoys who had sneaked into Shenjing. Wait." Jia Jing closed his eyes, as if he was saying something insignificant.
Caught the little bird and sent it to the official?
Jia Rong actually felt chilled. His cheap master had planned to go so far? He said in disbelief: "Master, did you plan this early in the morning?"
"No one can ever take one step and count three steps. The situation is ever-changing, and no matter how smart a person is, he will take it one step at a time. Or, just make a preparation in advance and wait quietly for the right time." Jia Jing shook his head slowly, not yet. I forgot to tell Brother Rong and said: "Rong'er, you must remember that the confrontation between wise men is always about taking advantage of the situation. Attack when you are strong, and lie dormant when you are weak. You will never take action until the right time comes."
Jia Jing’s words are very consistent with Jia Jing’s style.
Jia Rong said: "Master, do you think now is the right time?"
"Yes, as long as the Ningguo Mansion sends the Buddha Mother away, our Jia family will always stand on the opposite side of the Holy Religion. Even the palace will no longer doubt that you are the Mingwang of the Holy Religion. From now on, it is not impossible for Ronger to rise to prominence. .”
"Buddha's mother is a maid in Ningguo Mansion. Will the palace believe her words?"
"Of course I will believe it, because there are crazy members of the Holy Church who broke into the Ningguo Mansion to seek revenge. Even if the palace doesn't believe it, they have to believe it." Jia Jing still had the same face, very indifferent.
Jia Rong sneered and said: "According to Grandpa's calculations, I'm afraid there will be a few corpses in Ningguo Mansion, and I will also be seriously injured."
"Isn't it worth one or two lives and one serious injury in exchange for decades of peace and prosperity for the Jia family?"
Jia Rong couldn't say a single word of value.
Because he knows that any trick that can completely clear the suspicion must come at a huge price. Jia Rong didn't dare to bet on how he could be seriously injured without being infected to death. Moreover, in order to achieve a sufficient effect, one of the corpses appearing in Ningguo Mansion must be one of Jia Jing, Youshi, Qin Keqing, and Eldest Brother.
Send a little bird, and take the life of a relative of Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Rong can't do it.
He said calmly: "I just want to live my whole life peacefully, and to spend this life peacefully with the people around me."
Jia Jing looked at Brother Rong quietly with his deep eyes and said seriously: "No matter what Rong'er decides, I will support it."
"..."
After Jia Rong came out of the clean room, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
After this conversation, he finally understood a lot of things and felt a lot less burdened.
He stood outside and looked back at the closed door of the clean room, took another breath, and then left with brisk steps.
"It feels so good to have no restraints."
"What does the uncle want?" Xiang Ling asked doubtfully.
How could Uncle Rong give Xiang Ling an explanation? He asked instead, "Why are you staying here all the time?"
Xiao Xiangling laughed, ran away, and came back with a small jar in her hand. She said: "Que'er said that the uncle was busy all night yesterday, so he must finish the drink before he can go back to the Yamen."
"No." Jia Rong rolled his eyes, "Whoever likes to drink this stuff will drink it. Little Que'er is ignorant, and you don't understand either? It's not like you haven't tried the old man's ability. You just got there last night, and you don't need to drink it at all. Playing with toys."
Xiang Ling blinked her eyes. She seemed to be more nervous than others. It took her a while to realize what the uncle was talking about. Suddenly, the little face turned red, like a cute red apple.
She said: "I'd better drink it. Grandma also knows about it and is worried about his health. That's why she specially asked Ling'er to bring this thing and wait for him to come out."
One by one, I am strong and strong, and it’s not like I have a few girls in one night. Uncle Rong gritted his teeth secretly, his original good mood was ruined by such a small jar.
It feels like several women around me are saying, "Oh, you need to take supplements, and you need to take more supplements."
Isn't this a clear expression?
Any man would be unhappy, and Uncle Rong was the same, very unhappy.
Jia Rong said: "Since it is a good thing, let's just drink it."
"Sister Que'er prepared this for uncle. She stayed up all night." Xiang Ling said naively, "Ling'er can't eat this."
Jia Rong was also stunned after hearing this and asked: "Stay up all night?"
Xiangling nodded and said, "Yes, I was boiling hot water for the uncle and grandma at night. Sister Que'er was worried about the uncle's health, so she started boiling it in the middle of the night. She didn't sleep well all night before she could cook it."
"Then I'll eat a little bit." After all, it's Xiao Que'er's wish. Even if it means something, it has to be expressed. A scumbag will never let any woman down, and will definitely make any woman feel that her efforts are useful and rewarding.
This is the difference between a scumbag and a straight man.
Jia Rong picked up the small jar and scooped it into his mouth a few times. It tasted quite good and was not cold at all.
"Master, please have some more."
I still want to eat, because it will be so uncomfortable if I am as erect as last time. That's all. Jia Rong put down the jar and said to Xiangling, "Okay, take it back. You don't have to go out with me today. I'll go to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion first."
Yes.
He was still worried and wanted to talk to King Zhongshun about seclusion.
The carriage of Ningguo Mansion started creaking and drove straight to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion.
Although the walk wasn't fast, it didn't take long either.
But Jia Rong frowned secretly. Is this a tonic or an aphrodisiac? She felt that her whole body was starting to heat up.
As soon as Uncle Rong entered the palace, he asked his servants to fetch water and quickly washed his face before going to find Prince Zhongshun.
"Master Thirteen is not back yet." The young eunuch replied.
"Not back yet?" Jia Rong frowned. "At this time, the court meeting should have already been held. Could it be that your prince is going to which yamen to handle official business today?"
How could a little eunuch in a palace know this?
"Do you want your lordship to pay your respects to the princess?"
Say hello to Princess Zhongshun? Forget it then. Jia Rong touched the water drops on his face and sighed. He came here today on business.
At the moment, I can only go back to the Water Conservancy Camp and come back later in the afternoon.
But thinking in his heart, he didn't know what King Zhongshun and the others thought of Zhun Geer. From his last conversation with King Beijing, he knew that Zhungeer had invited many Westerners, and the Westerners' muskets were much more powerful than Dayan's muskets.
I hope King Zhongshun and the others can take it seriously this time. Jia Rong was not sure about seclusion.
Since the emperor has already given such an edict, it is difficult to change it.
On this day, Jia Rong thought for a long time and gradually calmed down.
Now that I have nothing to be afraid of, the worst I can do is ask Heishan Village to buy some flintlock guns and heavy matchlock guns from Eros. I can imitate them first and then decide whether to give them to King Zhongshun or keep them privately.
Anyway, Dayan couldn't help but shoot, and Ningguo Mansion no longer had any threats outside.
The retreat will not affect him for the time being.
As for cement, if the palace really wanted to ban it, King Zhongshun would not agree, and neither would His Highness the Crown Prince.
This afternoon, before Jia Rong went to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, a letter came from Ningguo Mansion first.
Xiao Queer arrived at the Water Conservancy Camp first with the good news.
"Grandma Feng has given birth."
gave birth?
Damn...why did she give birth when she was not in the house?
Jia Rong quickly asked: "Is she okay now?"
"Grandma is naturally safe and sound." Xiao Que'er said cheerfully, "Master, don't you want to know whether the baby is a boy or a girl?"
"Both boys and girls are born the same." Uncle Rong laughed.
"It's a boy. Grandma Feng gave birth to a boy." Xiao Queer replied.
"..."
After hearing the news, all the officials in the Water Conservancy Yingtian Mansion were curious. It's not like Grandma Rong gave birth to a child. Why is this Uncle Rong so happy?
Someone familiar with Jia Rong said: "Who in the city of Shenjing doesn't know that Lord Rong is extremely filial. Your Excellency is very happy to have a child for Ning and Rong."
