Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Ke Ren grabbed Jia Zhen's arm and said coquettishly, "Master, it's not. I'm just asking this question, so you can answer me..."

　　Jia Zhen hurriedly agreed: "Okay, as long as you promise not to leave me, you have made a big mistake, and I won't blame you. Because you are my Jia Zhen's woman!"

　　Ke Ren suddenly burst into tears, hugged Jia Zhen tightly, and choked out: "Master, but life is yours, death is your ghost, and I will never leave you."

　　Jia Zhen felt very strange, "What's the matter with you?" Immediately, there was an ominous premonition, and she asked tentatively, "You won't get along with others behind my back, will you?"

　　"Bah!" Ke Ren said with a blushing face, "Since I entered your door, I have never looked at other men, let alone let other men approach. If you say that again, I will die. look."

　　"That's good!" Jia Zhen smiled at ease, and said arrogantly: "Then what are you worried about? Even if you are a thief from Jiang Yang or even a thief from the White Lotus Sect, I will take care of you, sir. What's the big deal? How? It's more difficult than difficult!"

　　Ke Ren seemed to finally be relieved, and the bird was leaning against Jia Zhen's arms.After a while, the inner brocade of the yarn tent was tossed, and what happened between the two was not enough for outsiders.

Chapter [-] Qingwen's Careful Thoughts

　　The people of Nancheng were surprised to find that there were suddenly more soldiers guarding the streets and alleys. From time to time, patrols with sticks and red armbands passed by.As long as there are fights, petty thieves, and if they catch them, they will be beaten to death, and then they will be locked in a small dark room for two days before they are released; if there is littering, order the streets to be cleaned, and those who are immoral will be caught immediately and sent to jail. There are also those who do not trade in the specified area, but instead occupy the road to operate, and do not pile up sundries on the road according to the regulations. If they do not rectify after a warning, they will be immediately smashed and confiscated.Refugees and beggars are also centrally managed. Anyone who is dissatisfied should first be educated with a stick, and then go to the chant to calm down.Who told you about human rights these days?　　

　　The reason for all this is that Jia Zhen concocted a "Regulations on the Administration of Zhufang in Nancheng", which listed seventy or eighty rules and regulations. The name is printed and posted on the streets and alleys of Nancheng.So the soldiers of Jinwuwei, the inspectors of the army and the horse division, and the officers of the county government, wandered the streets as if they were mad, and each handed a copy of the regulations. Pay!If you don't want to be confiscated, pay!If you don't want to be evicted, pay!Up to Jingzhao, down to the soldiers, all of them benefited, and there was no dissatisfaction.For a time, Nancheng almost boiled, and the letter of complaint poured into Jing Zhaoyin's desk like snowflakes.But Jingzhao Yinji agrees with the management regulations and plans to promote it in various cities?He pressed it down with one hand, ignoring it.Jing Zhaoyin couldn't get through here, and there were people with hands and eyes, who stabbed the matter to the inspector.These censors were worried that they had nothing to do, so they immediately linked up, went to the table together, and impeached Jia Zhen.Poor Jia Zhen took office for less than two months, and countless impeachment papers were placed on the emperor's imperial case.At this time, the emperor was struggling with each other's troubles for the various factions in the DPRK and China. This Jia Zhen made a contribution a few days ago, and his official was sold to him by Zhen.Besides, I see that many of the regulations in this regulation are quite reasonable!So, the emperor approved three words on the memorial: "let him go"!

　　In this way, no one dared to quarrel, but some people praised Jia Zhen for being brave and capable.Jia Zhen suddenly got the Holy Family. Not only did the status of Ning Guofu rise, but the sales of soaps also increased a lot.It is really like falling from the sky, drinking boiled water is sweet.

Of course, there are also those who refuse to cooperate because of the backstage force.At this time, Jia Zhen made a grand appearance, pulling hundreds or [-] people to show him the facts and reasoning, and then borrow the hats of the emperor and the crown prince to use them.As for the really tricky ideas, such as the Crown Prince's shop and the restaurant of Prince Zhongshun, Jia Zhen had already figured out the bottom line, and she would go around when she walked, and she would not go there easily.

　　In a word, this is called bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and it may be better to replace the person who knows the current affairs as Junjie.

　　After some rectification, the security in Nancheng has improved significantly.On weekdays, the gangsters who are idle and cause trouble are all sweeping the streets!The common people could see the benefits, and for the first time they felt that the big-headed soldier with the red armband was very kind, so they naturally supported it.The merchants and shops, relying on Jia Zhen's support, dared to resist the harassment of the underworld, which made the life of the Tiger Gang who depended on protection fees very difficult.

　　Jia Zhen didn't want to pay attention to the Tiger Gang's affairs at the moment.

　　"There are [-] brothels and [-] hotels and restaurants in all the squares in Nancheng. Except for the small-scale and low-grade ones, there are still one-third. After the previous investigation and arrangement, four problematic brothels were screened out. , three restaurants. Among them, there are five in Datongfang, one in Guangxianfang and one in Changlefang." Jia Zhen wrote and drew on the paper, "It seems that Datongfang is the hardest hit area!"

　　It turned out that the ultimate goal of Jia Zhen's such a big battle was to find out the bottom of the Safflower Club.How did you find out?To say that the methods of anti-investigation of the White Lotus Sect are still a bit primitive, the left is only slang, gestures, tattoos, etc., and people like them generally have a strong atmosphere in the rivers and lakes, as long as they are caring people, they can find that they are different from ordinary people.Their leaders are more cautious and reclusive, but there are still traces to follow.In history, every time the White Lotus Sect revolted, almost always leaked secrets, and many were forced to revolt in advance.From this point of view, it is not only incomparable to Chang Kaishen's Blue Clothes Club, but also completely different and incomparable from the Chinese Red Party.

　　Jia Zhen, as an elite who has been repeatedly nurtured and bombed by Chinese spy war movies, is still not ready to deal with the White Lotus Sect, who doesn't even bother to put away weapons?

　　The above are all Jia Zhen's psychological activities, let's forgive his self-confidence!

　　Now that he knew the approximate location, how to arrest someone was stumped Jia Zhen.He didn't know how many traitors were in Jinwuwei's team. If they were cleared in advance, they would inevitably be shocked.If you let them run away, it will be difficult to catch them again.

　　Jia Zhen's fingers were lightly clasped on the desk, and the crisp sound awakened Qingwen, who was dozing next to her.

　　Xiao Qingwen lifted her hair and saw Jia Zhen holding a few pieces of paper in a daze, so she stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea.

　　The fragrance of the tea interrupted Jia Zhen's train of thought. He picked up the tea and heard Qingwen complain: "Master, you have been here for an hour or two, and you are still reading words that I do not understand. Don't ask the imperial doctor to come and see?"

　　Jia Zhen shook her head and said, "I have a very important thing to do, and I'm thinking about it!"

　　Qingwen made an "oh" and said again: "Today, Auntie Keren has come to the master's study. She said she wanted to teach me to read, but I always think she has something on her mind. I don't dare to ask."

　　While Jia Zhen put away the piece of paper and handed it to Qingwen, she asked casually, "What's wrong with her?"

　　Qingwen took it, took out a box from the hidden closet of the bookcase, opened it with a small key close to her body, put the paper in, locked it and put it back in its place. "I can't tell you either. I always feel like she's looking for something?"

　　Jia Zhen smiled and said: "Xu is looking for some books, right? She is the only one in the family who has read books. If there are no books in the study, then ask someone to buy them outside." He thought about it and added: "The box just now, only You can open it, and no one else is allowed to see it. Not even the wife and brother Rong. Got it?"

　　Qingwen nodded solemnly, "Qingwen knows. Except me, no third person will know about that box."

　　Jia Zhen gave her a thumbs up. "This is a secret between us!"

　　Qingwen suddenly blushed.

　　Seeing Qingwen's expression of innocence, Jia Zhen felt more and more that there was more affection than affection between him, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and Qingwen.Jia Zhen smiled bitterly, no rush anyway, let's talk about it later!Or, later on?

　　Early the next morning, Jia Zhen went on a horse and begged to see the commander-in-chief of the left wing of Shangguan Jinwuwei, who was Hou Xiaokang, the grandson of Hou Xiaoming, the Duke of Xiuguo.The two originally belonged to the four princes and eight princes back then and had frequent contacts.Now that the official ceremony has been recited, he will tell the truth in the future.

　　Jia Zhen cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Hou, my little nephew is here to ask for help."

　　Hou Xiaokang said in surprise: "What do you mean by this nephew? Your Nancheng has become more and more prosperous recently. It can be said that you are fighting for gold every day. What else can you ask for?"

　　Jia Zhen said: "To be honest with my uncle, my little nephew has already found the traces of the White Lotus Sect in Nancheng, just because its nests are distributed in various quarters and have been in operation for a long time, and I am afraid that there may be spies in each flood season in Nanying, and if there is a big attack, It is easy to strike grass and startle snakes. Therefore, I would like to ask my uncle to mobilize troops from outside, and use the momentum of thunder to plough the courtyard and sweep the caves, so as to remove this tumor for the Holy One."

　　Hou Xiaokang was shocked when he heard the words: "Is what the nephew said true? Did you really find out that the White Lotus Sect is against the Party?"

　　Jia Zhen affirmed: "How can I deceive my uncle? I sent my confidants to investigate secretly for two months. Now, their every move is under my control."

　　Hou Xiaokang grabbed Jia Zhen's hand and said excitedly, "It's a big deal, I'll take you to see the general." After that, he took Jia Zhen and walked out.

　　Jia Zhen complained that Hou Xiaokang made a big fuss, what a big deal?As long as he can bring in one or two hundred people at will, plus his confidants, to surround those places, those rebels will not be able to escape, why should they report it to the general?One more person gets one more credit, doesn't he know this principle?Jia Zhen felt a little regretful. She really should have done this by herself. The big deal was to escape a few...

　　In fact, Jia Zhen has really wronged the military commander Hou. You must know that Nancheng's former generals, guerrillas, and several thousand commanders were all involved in the killing and withdrawal of the White Lotus Sect. Not even a single White Lotus Sect rebel against the Party was caught.Even with him, the commander-in-chief has almost become synonymous with incompetence.Now Jia Zhen came over and said that he had figured out where the White Lotus Sect was, and he was still not excited?It's just that within the capital, the mobilization of an army of more than [-] people must first ask for an order, otherwise it will be a rebellion!That's why he was so anxious.

　　Jia Zhen, who later learned the truth, recalled the time when she caught Qiu Que, and she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.Fortunately, Qiu Yihe didn't listen to his orders at that time...

　　After entering the gate of General Jinwuwei, Jia Zhen put away her thoughts and followed Hou Xiaokang with her head down.Arriving in the hall, a spirited old man sat on it and read a book.This person is the general of Jinwuwei, the Duke of Chengguo Cao Shou.He grew up with the emperor since childhood, and no one can compare to him in terms of loyalty.

　　Hou Xiaokang repeated what Jia Zhen told him.The old man pondered for a while, then asked Jia Zhen, "Are you sure about this?" Although his voice was not loud, Jia Zhen felt the power.At that moment, Jia Zhen almost regretted saying, "Let the humble post go back and check again." Fortunately, Jia Zhen was also a stupefied young man, stalking her neck and saying, "It's absolutely true!"

　　The old prince laughed, stepped forward and patted Jia Zhen on the shoulder, "You look like that of Prince Ning back then."

　　Jia Zhen paused and asked, "Have you met my great-grandfather?"

　　The old prince stroked his beard, "Twenty or thirty years have passed in a flash. At that time, your grandfather was still there. We were under the command of your great-grandfather, and we were considered to be friends. It's just that your father abandoned martial arts and became a Taoist priest. Lost contact."

　　Jia Zhen heard this, and hurriedly knelt down again to greet him.Darling, he turned out to be the subordinate of the great-grandfather, the same robe of the grandfather?Does this have to do with the big boss?

　　After the old man received the ceremony, he said to Hou Zongbing and Jia Zhen: "I agree to this matter, you just do it. You must wipe out the White Lotus Sect against the Party, and then I will ask for your credit in front of the emperor! "

　　Jia Zhen's head was still dizzy until she came out of the Great General's Yuanmen.Hou Xiaokang said with a smile: "The old ministers of the past were headed by the Four Kings and Eight Dukes. Which one of the military generals in the dynasty is not from our ancestors?"

　　Jia Zhen nodded, and a passion surged from the bottom of her heart: "The ancestors have made great contributions, and the descendants can't eat and wait to die, and smear the face of the ancestors!"

　　"That's right!" Hou Xiaokang laughed loudly: "Let's go, let's discuss it!" Next, the two chatted in the small room for a long time, and no one else knew what they had discussed.

　　Back at Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen was paralyzed on the Taishi chair in the study, with her feet on the desk, her eyes closed, and she was still humming an unknown and unpleasant ditty.

　　A pair of small hands touched Jia Zhen's head and pressed it jerky.

　　Jia Zhen didn't open her eyes, "Qingwen, you have to learn from Keren, and the way people serve people is amazing!"

　　Before he finished speaking, the hand disappeared.Jia Zhen opened her eyes and saw Qingwen pouting and standing on the side, not rubbing ink for a while, and even spilling ink on the desk.

　　"Oh, my little ancestor, this is the best rice paper!" Jia Zhen jumped up, grabbed the inkstone from Qingwen's hand, and pulled the ink-splashed rice paper aside.

　　Qingwen said unhappily, "I don't know how to serve people, you should call someone else!"

　　Jia Zhen laughed and said: "I don't know who you learned from your temper. Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it! Come on, I'll show you a trick!" After speaking, he spread the rice paper on the table again. , blowing air at the ball of ink, the ink flows forward along the energy, and is divided into strands of different sizes, looking closely, it looks like a dry branch.

　　Qingwen thought it was interesting, so she came over to look at it and couldn't help laughing: "Master, you're blowing it wrong here!"

　　Jia Zhen took a few breaths, her head was a little hypoxic, and pushed her to take advantage of the situation: "You can, try it?"

　　Qingwen squeezed Jia Zhen away, "Just try, what's so great?" So she puffed out her cheeks and blew the ink with all her might.

　　Jia Zhen looked at Qingwen from the side, her pretty face and delicate dress seemed to be very different from when she first saw her.The more Jia Zhen looked at her, the more she liked her, feeling that she was like her own sister.

　　"Oh, it's blown out!" Qingwen exclaimed, bringing Jia Zhen back to reality.When he saw a little ink blowing on the table, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let me show you my methods, sir!"

　　Jia Zhen took a pen and dipped it in the ink. According to the trend of the ink, he modified a few strokes, and the branches on the rice paper became clearer.

　　"You go and grind some paint. You want red."

　　Qingwen knew that Jia Zhen was going to paint, so she hurriedly fetched cinnabar and mixed it with water.

　　Jia Zhen took another pen, put on cinnabar, and randomly drew bones and petals on the branches.After a while, a plum blossom map was completed.

　　Jia Zhen put down the pen, looked at it carefully, and sighed with satisfaction: "I haven't painted for many years, yet I can still paint so well! I, Jia Zhen, are truly a genius!"

　　Qingwen smiled and put her finger on her face to shame him.

　　Jia Zhen was very angry, and the consequences were serious. "This painting will be given to you! Don't lose it, or the family will serve you!"

　　Qingwen was not afraid, took the painting and looked at it for a while, "For the sake of my sincerity, I reluctantly accepted it!"

　　Hey!This girl's temper is rising!There is absolutely no consciousness of being a maid.Whose maid dares to talk to the master like this?

　　"You have a lot of guts!" Jia Zhen said gloomily, "Aren't you afraid that I will spank you, sir?"

　　"As long as you're willing, you can beat me!" Qingwen was very arrogant and fearless. "If you beat me to death, you will have one less concubine in the future, so you can find another one."

　　In one sentence, Jia Zhen was speechless.At the beginning, in order to prevent Jia Baoyu from taking Qingwen away, I did promise to do so.Just in front of her, at such a young age, Jia Zhen felt very beastly and ashamed.

　　"When you grow up, there are still a few years left. If you don't want to, you don't have to count." Jia Zhen promised her, "I will never force you to do anything in the future. Just do it as long as you think it's good. At most, I will give you a dowry."

　　Qingwen held the painting, with little stars in her eyes, looked at Jia Zhen and complained: "People were going there, but you forced them to come over, didn't you just let me be your person? Now you say that. , do you want to go back and regret it, don't you want it? It's not a cat or a dog..." Saying that, her ears and neck blushed, she glared at Jia Zhen, and couldn't help but burst into a smile, "I'm kidding you! Master, you too It's just a mouthful of flowers, and I've never trampled on anyone. If you really let go, I'm afraid I'll be better."

　　Jia Zhen looked at Qingwen's clear eyes, nodded and praised: "You are a good girl. Don't worry, I..."

　　Qingwen was afraid of what he would say, and immediately said: "I know that I am a good girl, so don't think about driving me out." She clenched her small fists and said angrily: "Also, I don't want to lose to You Where's the third one!"

　　Jia Zhen was stunned.

Chapter [-]: Encirclement and Suppress Hongyang Against the Party

　　Tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good day for murder and arson.

　　As soon as the appointed time came, Hou Xiaokang, the commander-in-chief of the left wing of the Jinwu Guard, immediately dispatched [-] confidants, plus the [-] elite soldiers sent by the old king, making a total of [-] people, and branched out to Datong and Guangguang. Xian, Changle three squares.Nancheng Jia Zhen had already secretly assembled a hundred troops, all of them were vetted, loyal and reliable people.Jia Zhen distributed them to three quarters to respond to the army. Li Shoubei and Wang Dan were in charge of Changle Fang, Wang Guerjian and Yu Qian in charge of Guangxian Fang. Jia Zhen brought Timur and Wang Jian and other family guards to take charge of Datong Fang and guided Jin Wu's army. Surrounding the White Lotus Cult's lair.

　　On the silent street, the clatter of hooves and the sound of neat jogging rang out.

　　Outside Datong Square, Jia Zhen waited for the troops brought by Hou Zongbing.Hou Zongbing bowed his hands slightly on the horse, and ordered, "Time is running out, Jia Shen will lead the way immediately!"

　　Hou Zongbing and Jia Zhen hung behind him, Hou Zongbing asked, "Nephew, where is the leader of the White Lotus Sect?" Jia Zhen pointed to a building in front of him, "That's the place, it's called Yuhua Pavilion, Nancheng. The most famous antique shop, I heard that it is still the business of a big man in the capital."

　　Hou Zongbing's eyes flashed brightly, and he pointed at Jia Zhen and said with a smile: "With your smoothness, nephew, you shouldn't put me on the fire, right?"

　　Jia Zhen chuckled, "Don't worry, uncle, we just don't know. We can't blame us!"

　　The two were like two old foxes, smiling at each other.

　　Soon, the soldiers were unable to drain the water around the Yuhua Pavilion. "Open the door! Routine inspection!" Nanying led the way and knocked on the door.

　　There seemed to be someone inside, but soon there was no movement.

　　Every soldier has a violent temper.When they saw that no one opened the door, they threatened: "Listen to the people inside, please open the door quickly within three breaths, otherwise, we will break through! One! Two!"

　　Before San could shout, a voice came from inside, "Wait, wait! I'll open the door!" Immediately, the door on both sides was opened from the inside when the door bolt was heard.

　　This is a fat white man in his forties, looking like a shopkeeper, wearing a single coat, seeing the soldiers surrounded by soldiers, his eyes flashed a bit of sternness, then he smiled and bowed and said: "Masters, I don't know Is there anything I can do to help you adults?"

　　Jia Zhen stared at the man for a while, then smiled, "We do have one thing, and only the shopkeeper can help?"

　　The shopkeeper calmly blocked the door and smiled in agreement: "What's the matter with your lord? The little old man is buying antiques here. I can give you a thumbs up."

　　Jia Zhen stepped forward and pushed the shopkeeper away.He was stagnant for a moment, and then retreated, Jinwu guards rushed in together, and searched the inside regardless.
