Chapter 157 Go to Yingtian Gate!
Ningguo Mansion
Jia Heng was talking with Jia Mu and the others.
It has to be said that the cooperation of Mother Jia and Sister Feng has pushed the atmosphere in the inner hall to a climax more than once.
The laughter continued, and before you knew it, it was almost noon.
Baoyu was standing in the corridor, listening to the noise coming from inside, pacing back and forth, somewhat itchy.
As for Jia Amnesty, he had already ordered his servants to prepare tables and chairs in the front yard and was drinking tea.
While talking, Mother Jia saw Jia Heng's kind face, and said: "Brother Heng, it's getting late now, if you check the accounts..."
However, before Mother Jia could finish her sentence, she saw a woman trotting from outside and entered the hall all the way.
Everyone was surprised.
"Master Heng, Cai Qianhu asked to see you outside the hall, saying that your cousin was beaten up, and now everyone is in the front hall." The woman said anxiously.
In a word, everyone's expressions changed.
Hearing this, Jia Heng stood up abruptly, his eyes were gloomy like water, and he looked at Jia Mu. The solemn and stern aura that was like a mountain was almost like a big stone pressing on everyone's hearts.
Jia Heng arched his hands and said: "Old lady, excuse me."
Jia Mu swallowed the second half of her words back, with a worried expression on her face, she said: "Brother Heng, go and have a look quickly, Yuanyang, you should go and have a look too, girl Feng, hurry up and invite the imperial physician to come, Brother Heng, take a look."
Qin Keqing also got up and walked to Jia Heng's side, and said, "Husband, don't worry."
Jia Heng nodded, and then walked towards the front hall without saying much.
In the flower hall in the front yard, Cai Quan and Qu Lang were talking, and Dong Qian was sitting on a chair beside him. Dong Qian's military uniform was a bit messy, with bruises on his face, but his complexion was fine, and he was talking in a low voice.
Jia Heng breathed a sigh of relief,
Before he went to Cuihua Mountain, he told Cai Quan to follow his cousin quietly with two confidantes carrying crossbows, just to guard against Jia She and Qiu Liang's tricks.
But even if it was a false alarm, the anger in his heart was still burning.
His cousin accompanied him, the official didn't get promoted by half a rank, and he didn't make a fortune, but he got beaten?
When everyone who was sitting saw Jia Heng coming into the hall, they all got up one after another.
"Brother Heng." Cai Quan said with a wry smile, "It's all my fault. I sent one of the two brothers who followed me to have lunch, and only one followed secretly. I rushed out a little later, causing Brother Dong to suffer some injuries. "
Dong Qian waved his hand and said with a smile: "No matter what happened to Brother Cai, Brother Cai's people have been following me secretly. Five or six people from the other side surrounded me. It's okay."
It turned out that he got off duty from Dongcheng at noon and was leading his horse home for dinner. He had just turned into a street corner when he was blocked by five or six green-skinned rascals with fierce faces and grinning faces.
Jia Heng looked at Cai Quan and said, "Who is it, have you found out?"
"I was about to tell my brother that three of my subordinates shot to death with hand crossbows!" Cai Quan said with eyes fixed on him, "As for the origin, I haven't found out yet."
Jia Heng yelled: "Shoot to death! Blatantly attacking Tolerance, it's tantamount to rebellion, shoot and kill!"
After pondering for a while, he asked, "Did the people from Jingzhao Yamen intervene?"
Once someone dies and someone reports the crime, the officials of the Jingzhao Yamen will definitely go to check.
"It's the fault here, because I wanted to take Brother Dong to see the doctor, so I left the place first, and when I brought them back, I looked at the corpses and bloodstains, and they were all gone." Cai Quan frowned, angrily Said: "Now it's useless even to go to the Jingzhao Yamen to report the case."
Jia Heng frowned, said with a sneer, "Who said it's useless?"
Yesterday because of Fan Yi's incident, all the cabinet ministers were in an uproar, and they have already ordered the cabinet's academician, Minister of Rites, He Juncheng, Jingzhao Yamen, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to strictly investigate the matter and get to the bottom of it.
Originally, he just wanted to light the fire and watch the civil servants swarm up, but looking at the current situation, it is impossible to stand by and watch.
With He Juncheng's urinating nature of calming things down, most likely he still needs to suppress it and control the influence.
Qu Lang looked solemn, and said, "Lord Jia, there are mixed fish and dragons in the East City, the Sanhe Gang, the Little Knife Society, and the King Kong Gang... plotting against Brother Dong, I can't think of these few, but these... my lord, don't pay attention to these few. You can’t get on the stage, but your background is not shallow, and your hands and eyes are open to the sky, so it’s not easy to move.”
When Jia Heng heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he said, "Qu Baihu, can you elaborate."
This rich family in brocade clothes knows very well about one-third of an acre of land in Shenjing.
Qu Lang pondered for a while, and said: "My lord, in the East City area, there are all kinds of religions and schools, such as brothels, gambling houses, women and children, and other side businesses. These people are doing immoral business. Ask the officials , I heard from a lowly position... I just heard that some people even acted recklessly, and even bribed colleagues in Jinyiwei's mansion."
Cai Quan frowned, and said, "I've heard of those gangs in Dongcheng."
Facing the inquiring gazes of several people, Cai Quan said shyly, "Some generals in the Beijing Camp can go there to have fun, and the price is fair...Brother, I've heard what they said, but I haven't been there!"
The last sentence is even a bit decisive.
Jia Heng slowly withdrew the suspicious gaze that fell on Cai Quan's face, then looked at Qu Lang, and said in a deep voice, "Qu Baihu, this East City is in such a mess, is there no one to take care of it?"
It almost became a rotten sore in the city of Shenjing, which was bleeding pus and emitting a stench all the time.
How can the emperor tolerate it!
Qu Lang explained: "Speaking of it, it is also the mess left by the former Jing Zhaoyin and the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division. Sun Liangchen, because of corruption and cunning, dismissed his post and confiscated his home, and Zhou Song, the commander of soldiers and horses, was also exiled to the nine sides because of his lack of discipline, dereliction of duty and perverting the law. The lieutenant did it, and because of this meritorious service, Captain Qiu was promoted from being in charge of punishing thousands of households to being an envoy, and now he is highly regarded by the Holy One."
Jia Heng's eyes were deep. This was the second time he heard Captain Qiu's name.
Qu Lang continued: "Afterwards, Master Xu was transferred, and the post of commander of the five cities was temporarily vacant. Because many refugees have entered Shenjing to seek a living and have nowhere to live, so they can only live in Dongcheng."
Jia Heng frowned and said, "I don't think so."
It's just that Xu Lu has just taken office in Jingzhao not long ago, and he hasn't straightened out the top and bottom. In addition, the Jingzhao Yamen is weak and weak, so it's hard to applaud.
Listening to Qu Lang's narration, Dong Qian hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother Heng, if you don't forget it, you didn't suffer any injuries anyway."
Cai Quan's lips twitched, wanting to persuade him a few words, but when he changed his mind, he felt that something was wrong. After all, he was not the one who was beaten, so he couldn't say something to calm things down.
And glanced at Jia Heng, but saw Jia Heng's face was gloomy, thought for a while, and said: "Brother Heng, do you want to ask for that one, that one can be in charge of the factory guard of the inner police factory."
As he spoke, he pointed to the sky, naturally not the emperor, but the Prime Minister Dai of Daming Palace.
Jia Heng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is appalling to hear such a murderer! I have been honored by the Emperor's great grace, and I have been conferred the title of General Yunhui, and I have the title of the Son of Heaven to personally command the army and defend the Emperor. Que, if you don't clear up the other generation for the emperor, what kind of face will you stand between the heaven and the earth!"
If someone else said this, it might feel a little far-fetched to say it on another occasion, but Jia Heng had just been awarded the title, and it was the time when the emperor was so grateful for his great kindness.
Say a few words of honesty and brilliance, "Your Majesty treats you generously, and I will cut Xiaoxiao with a sword", no one will feel strange, but feel that Jia Ziyu has always known kindness and generosity.
Not to mention, a commander of Jin Yiwei was added.
Cai Quan was shocked when he heard the words, and asked in surprise, "General Yunhui?"
Dong Qian also looked at Jia Heng in surprise, a little unbelievable.
Cai Quan just took Dong Qian with him, and not long after he sat down, he naturally didn't know that Jia Heng was conferred a title by imperial edict.
Old Jinyi like Qu Lang is not acquainted, and he is not a person who talks indiscriminately, and he has no reason to show off other people's affairs.
Jia Heng cupped his hands in the direction of the Daming Palace, and said with emotion: "The imperial decree just issued, the emperor's kindness is mighty, conferring a third-class Yunhui general, the emperor's eyes are fierce, how can we allow Xiaoxiao to run wild under his nose !"
The Dongcheng gang may have some black gloves for the dignitaries, helping the dignitaries in Beijing to do things that are inconvenient to do.
But so what!
Others have been bullied to the top, and if you look forward and backward, others will only make progress.
Besides, if you can't even protect the people around you, once people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, even Cai Quan looked slightly different.
In fact, since he was awarded the title of third-class general Yunhui, he is already qualified to form a small-scale political force centered on himself.
This sounds like a mysterious thing, but it is the magic of famous utensils, the difference between cloud and mud.
As a white man, even if you are a guest of the emperor, chatting and laughing happily with the emperor, and a prince in white clothes, it is impossible for you to gather a group of political forces around you.
But once you are awarded the title of general and ranked among the military honors, you will be able to display your own banner in the court.
Not to mention the influence he exerted on the emperor.
Of course, right now his political power may still be relatively weak, even a little shabby, but the title and famous weapon will gradually exert its power.
"The only thing to worry about is that you don't have to do too much, get a real job, delay the imperial examination, and finally be granted a Jinshi background by the emperor. It feels a little gold-plated."
Qu Lang's resolute face remained silent for a moment, then he suddenly said: "My lord, you can first go to the Jinyiwei under your command to investigate which gang is responsible for it."
Hearing this, Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Qu Lang, staring at the young man with more meaning, and said solemnly: "Then there will be a hundred families of Lao Qu."
Previously, I thought that this Baihu was more dull than the smooth and sophisticated Zhao Yi, but I didn't think he was a caring person who was clumsy in words but quick in action.
That's right, if you can get a hundred households in a place like Jinyi Mansion, which can eat people and don't spit out bones, there is no easy stuff.
"Speaking of which, this is also the magic of famous utensils." Jia Heng suddenly realized something.
Although he was the commander of Jin Yiwei before, but he was only a title, his calling of Jin Yiwei was actually not justified.
But now a title, coupled with the title of Commander of Jinyiwei, will give people a strong hint that the emperor will let him take charge of Jinyiwei someday.
There are people who are willing to show favor and get closer.
"The post of Jin Yiwei is really difficult to resign. Even if you leave a title, it can exert a little influence." Jia Heng put away some thoughts in his mind, and faced the flushed face who had already been agitated. Cai Quan said, "Brother Cai, go find a stretcher!"
"stretcher?"
"The bed board is also fine. Carry the elder brother and take the brother from Jingying, let's beat the drums and complain!" Jia Heng said in a deep voice with a stern face.
Without corpses and bloodstains, how can we not help those people?
Free testimony, hit you... Do you need a reason?
Cai Quan replied loudly: "Okay, I'll prepare the bed boards now, and go to the Jingzhao Yamen now!"
"Go to Jingzhao Yamen, to Yingtianmen!" Jia Heng said in a cold voice with gloomy eyes, "Come here, go to my old house in the wicker alley on Ningrong Street, call Mr. Fan, and let's go beat Dengwen drum together! "
Cai Quan heard that his pupils shrank sharply, his voice trembled, and he felt his breathing was stagnant. He said, "Brother Heng, that's the palace gate..."
Even Qu Lang's eyes were aggressive, and his heart was full of turmoil.
This is... going to break the sky! ?
But after thinking about it, maybe with the family and reputation of this young dignitary, beating Deng Wen's drum will really shake the scholarly community, and the crowd will be raging, and they will punish those Jianghu gangs in Dongcheng together!
Jia Heng took a deep breath, his eyes flickering coldly.
Since some people don't abide by the political rules, then turn the tables and everyone stop playing!
First, the country's exam candidates were beaten and disabled, and then the Wucheng soldiers and horses were beaten. What are they going to do!
Is the murderer rebelling?
He has reason to suspect that one day, this group of people will break into the Daming Palace and kill the king!
"Brother, do you feel dizzy now?" Jia Heng looked at Dong Qian with a cold expression and asked.
Dong Qian was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly frowned, he frowned, supported his head and said: "I feel a little dizzy, and my chest hurts, I can't breathe..."
Just at this time, two young servants brought the board over, and Jia Heng said, "Then lie down."
Qu Lang clasped his hands and said, "Lord Jia, let someone investigate that humble position first."
Jia Heng stepped forward and patted Qu Lang on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "If the Son of Heaven asks, Qu Baihu should respond."
Hearing this, Qu Lang's heart trembled violently, he felt a surge of energy and blood rushing to his cheeks, his voice trembled a little before he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord...
"Go quickly, Qu Baihu, the time left for your investigation is at most one hour." Jia Heng cut off Qu Lang's words with gentle eyes.
There are so many people with mixed eyes, some things should not be said.
Qu Lang didn't say much, he took a deep look at Jia Heng, clasped his fists, greeted a few Jin Yiwei, turned around and left, and after leaving the main hall, he almost ran wildly. Investigate this.
As long as the performance is correct, Mr. Jia will say, "Qu Lang, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, knows the details very well, and the Holy One can ask him..."
When Qu Lang went back, Jia Heng didn't delay, and someone sealed Cheng Yi to the two accountants, and sent them back temporarily, and then took Cai Quan, carried the removed bed board, and carried Dong Qian with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Go straight to Yingtianmen.
