Jia Heng glanced at Gu Ruoqing and ignored it. He turned around and went to the case and sat down directly. The Director of the Experience Department respectfully handed over a confession and began to read it.
"Captain, this is Tushan's confession."
Jia Heng said "hmm", lowered his eyes and began to read, nodded, and said: "Original archive, make a few copies for future reference."
In fact, Gu Ruoqing's so-called heartless words were due to what Jia Heng said before when Liu Shengzao came to harass him, "As long as no one is killed, you can do whatever you want."
It can be said that the first impression Jia Heng left on Gu Ruoqing was not very good. Coupled with his status as a commander in chief, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a ruthless person.
Gu Ruoqing took a deep look at Jia Heng, said nothing, picked up Nan Ling, and prepared to leave.
Chen Xiao looked at the delicate and pitiful girl, frowned, came to Jia Heng, and said: "I still need a maid to help with the fire, how about I accept this girl?"
"
Nan Ling's palm-sized face turned from worry to joy, and her eyes were full of hope.
Jia Heng flipped through the book of records of Wang Shouqi and others in his hand, but ignored them. He raised his eyes and said, "There is no shortage of maids in the house to help me with the fire. Come and help me read the records."
However, a suspicion arose in my heart. As the Holy Maiden of Xiaoxiao White Lotus, could I really feel sympathy for such a maid of unknown origin?
In his opinion, it was not a wise move to accept a maid who didn't know her true identity when he first came to Yangzhou. He didn't care, as he still had Daiyu in the back house.
Seeing Jia Heng's polite refusal, Chen Xiao curled his lips, then walked towards Jia Heng without saying anything else.
The shining light in Nan Ling's eyes dimmed a bit, and she looked at Gu Ruoqing sadly.
Gu Ruoqing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her eyes narrowed a bit, and she whispered: "Let's go."
With that said, he pulled Nan Ling and the two of them left the Yanyuan Yamen.
Chen Xiao walked slowly to Jia Heng, and he understood the persistence in the young man's character. If something doesn't work, it won't work.
But if the origin of the woman is unknown, it seems that her origin is unknown at the beginning. By the way, this person personally tested her at that time, insisting on finding out her details.
Jia Heng put down the book with the transcript and did not take the episode to heart. He said to a hundred households in bright clothes: "We interrogated Ma Xianjun at the Yangzhou Hundred Household Office all night, tortured his family members and the manor manager, and investigated him for collaborating with the enemy and smuggling."
Situation."
The hundred households responded and then went to deliver the order.
At this time, Lin Ruhai came over and asked: "Ziyu, what should we do next?"
Jia Heng put down the book in his hand, looked at Lin Ruhai, and said: "Let's wait for news from Liu Jixian to see if we can catch the big fish Duduo, and then interrogate Ma Xianjun and other criminals."
Lin Ruhai said: "Ziyu, do I have any other instructions here?"
Jia Heng said warmly: "Uncle, you don't have to stay with these scribes. You can go and rest first. When the matter here is over, I will lead people to the Yangzhou Hundred Household Office to interrogate the criminals."
It would be outrageous to occupy the Yangzhou Yanyuan Yamen all the time for interrogation, some of which seemed to be aimed at salt merchants. Jinyi Mansion has an official office in Yangzhou. Although it is not very big, it is enough.
Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "Zi Yu, I'm not sleepy yet, just stay here and keep an eye on it."
Jia Heng did not insist and continued to read through the transcripts made by several people. In fact, he was looking for similarities and differences in the transcripts of different people and looking for suspicious things.
"Sir, Liu Zhenfu has sent someone back." At this time, a man in brocade clothes walked quickly from outside the courtyard and saluted Jia Heng with cupped fists.
"Has anyone been caught?" Jia Heng asked anxiously.
The Jinyi fanzi who reported the news replied: "Zhen Fu followed the blood trail to look for the thief, but the blood trail disappeared at the canal crossing in Yangzhou. The gangsters had already picked up the boat, and Zhen Fu was leading the people on horseback to follow along the canal, but
There are many streets and lanes on both sides of the canal, and the roads are inconvenient, so it may not be possible to stop them."
Jia Heng's expression turned gloomy as he brushed the ground. He had been worried about this before and said in a deep voice: "Give me the order to send all the cavalry troops of the Jiangbei camp into several teams to follow along the river and be sure to catch Duduo! In addition, send fast horses to the people along the river.
The guards, the inspection department, and the boats blocking the river crossings must all be searched carefully, and even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will still be caught!"
It was dark at this time, which was a little after eight o'clock in the future, and with the cover of night and unclear vision, it was easy to lose clues. If Duduo disembarked from the boat and fled in disguise, it would undoubtedly be more difficult to arrest him.
Due to limited communication conditions at this time, it was impossible for the officers and soldiers along the road to block the route with just one phone call.
The Jinyi palace guard clasped his fists in response and quickly ran out of the hall.
Lin Ruhai looked at the disappearing figure of the Jinyi palace guard, frowned, and asked: "Zi Yu, can we still catch him?"
Jia Heng sighed and said: "The situation is not good. If there are other places to stay, once they hide, it will be difficult to find them again."
Lin Ruhai was silent for a moment and asked: "Why is this Donglu man so bold?"
Jia Heng said: "Jiangfang, patrol along the road to guard the emptiness."
In fact, the Yangzhou Baihu Office did not have many problems, but it was just a painful plot that was staged previously.
At this time, a nun stood under the curtain of the back hall, peeping her head as if hesitating whether to come in. When she saw Jia Heng's electric eyes, she hesitated to speak.
Jia Heng understood clearly and followed the nanny into the inner hall.
Mammy smiled along with her and said, "Uncle, I heard that something happened in the front yard and that the uncle was assassinated, so she sent me to ask about the situation."
Daiyu heard in the backyard that Jia Heng was assassinated by gangsters while attending a banquet. Her heart was in her throat. She was sitting on pins and needles in the house, worried. When she heard that Jin Yi had returned from the front yard, she quickly asked her nanny to come to the front yard to inquire about the situation.
Jia Heng nodded and said softly: "Go and tell Sister Lin that there is nothing wrong with me, and I will go over to see her soon."
The grandma responded quickly and told Daiyu to go.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then returned to the front hall, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, come with me to see if Ma Xianjun has confessed."
In fact, even if Ma Xianjun is not recruited, it will be of no use. As long as the steward of the house or the confidant shop owner leaks the smuggling incident, the whole clan will be implicated. However, it is hard to say whether there is an illegitimate child. Cunning rabbits have three holes.
At this moment, on the entire streets of Yangzhou City, torches were like dragons, people roared and horses neighed, and a large number of Jinyi cavalry and officers and soldiers from the Jiangbei Camp cooperated with the arrests, blocking the water and land arteries, and at the same time heading towards Dexin, the manor where the Ma family was located.
Yuan rushed over and began to arrest relatives and stewards.
For a time, people were panicked and rumors spread.
The words were divided into two parts, but it was said that Duduo escaped from Huanhua Tower and went down the canal ferry east of Yangzhou City. It was midnight at the time and the canal was flowing along the river. He had traveled a lot of miles in a short time, and then
As soon as they left Yangzhou City, they quickly abandoned the ship and fled towards the north.
Under a low hill twenty miles away from Yangzhou, Duduo fainted from the pain and became blurred until the calls of his servants Su Hetai and Deng Biao could be heard in his ears.
"Master, master!"
Duduo opened his eyes, only to feel that his vision was blurred. The lantern swayed in the summer wind, and a circle of orange light appeared. He made a weak voice from his throat and said, "Where is this?"
"Master, we are still in Yangzhou. We stopped the master's bleeding. Elun took the people on the boat and led the army to Taipingzhou." Su Hetai said anxiously.
In fact, it was to use his life to fight for a way out for Duduo.
Duduo sighed after hearing this and was silent for a moment, but his face was already as pale as paper.
Deng Biao was a middle-aged man with a deeply furrowed face. He looked more like a peasant than a general. He lowered his voice and said, "Master, we have to go back quickly."
Duduo's face was pale, and he felt pain and numbness below him. He was almost unconscious and asked in a hoarse voice: "How is my injury?"
"The bleeding stopped after applying the Jinchuang medicine." Su Hetai looked troubled and hesitated.
But Duduo was startled and looked at Su Hetai. Seeing the evasive gaze, he suddenly understood. His eyes darkened and his heart felt cold. Could it be that Duduo had become an eunuch since then?
In the previous fight with Jia Heng, Duduo felt that something was wrong when he was hit by a knife. The feeling of the knife tip passing through, and then the heart-breaking pain, almost instantly let him know that the injury was serious.
Su Hetai made a "pop" sound, and the seven-foot-tall man knelt down on the ground and said with tears in his face: "Master, my leg was bleeding profusely just now, so I had to tie it with a rope first. I saw that it was empty. I really...can't save it."
.”
The Jurchens had established a government system and also used eunuchs in the palace. It is not surprising that both of them disappeared.
Duduo's face was pale, and he felt as if he had been struck by thunder. The world was spinning, and he bit his back molar, but it seemed to have affected the injury. Waves of heartbreaking pain came over him. Cold sweat the size of soybeans oozed out from his forehead, and his pupils were filled with tears.
Full of blood and tears.
Why did it happen to be injured there?
Men don't shed tears easily, but before they feel sad, Dodo at this moment is like a male cat that has undergone sterilization surgery, with tears in his eyes and no love left. A generation of male cats has passed away.
Duduo closed his eyes tightly, feeling the humiliation and resentment in his heart like vines that quickly wrapped around his heart. He was convinced that even if he assassinated someone, he shouldn't take action himself.
"Master, please calm down and take care of yourself." Seeing this, Su Hetai panicked and said quickly.
Duduo didn't say a word, and he didn't know how long it took, but he whispered: "We are not safe here, the Chinese dogs will come after us!"
He swore that he would destroy the Han Dynasty in this life, and he would make Jia Heng repay him a hundred times. If he could enter the pass, he would massacre Yangzhou, and he would not seal the sword for ten days and ten nights!
Ahhh...
If Duduo was not over thirty and already had a son, there would be no need to worry about the inheritance of the incense. If he had only just had a son, he would have lost all hope and would not survive.
Su Hetai, Deng Biao, and the young novice monk from the Calabash Temple changed their expressions. After hearing the words, they all responded in unison, carried Duduo, whose facial features were almost distorted, and walked towards the thick night.
…
…
At the Yanyuan Yamen in Yangzhou, Jia Heng and Chen Xiao entered the execution room and looked through the window at Shang Ming, who was tortured by Ma Xianjun.
Compared with Tushan's toughness, this pampered Yangzhou merchant was not so quiet. He kept groaning in pain and making noises like a slaughtering pig, but he refused to confess to colluding with the Donglu.
Jia Heng frowned and said to Fan Zi at the door: "Gag him. When he wants to confess, you can nod to indicate."
Most people cannot withstand the torture in Jinyi Mansion.
Fanzi, who was in charge of the execution, quickly accepted the order, then approached and gave Ma Xianjun a bunch of rags to gag his mouth.
Jia Heng glanced at Chen Xiao, whose face was as clear as ice jade, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, just follow me back to the back hall to drink tea and wait."
Chen Xiao glanced at Jia Heng and said nothing. As Jia Heng came to the back hall, the two sat down and fell into a brief silence.
"Why do you want to keep the little maid just now?" Jia Heng picked up the teapot and teacup, poured two cups of tea, and asked softly.
Chen Xiao took the tea cup from Jia Heng, thanked her, and said, "She is a poor girl with a pitiful background. I don't think she has any ulterior motives."
Jia Heng chuckled lightly and said: "Sometimes, you can't look at the surface. Women are born to lie. They will pretend to be pitiful just to deceive your trust. Ordinarily, you have been living in the world and have seen too much. You shouldn't
That’s how soft-hearted it is.”
Chen Xiao turned to look at the young man with a strange expression, and said softly: "As I said, you have been deceived many times."
Jia Heng looked at the fair-faced girl with curvy eyebrows and plump cheeks, and asked, "You were lying to me when you were working as a cook in the mansion?"
Chen Xiao held the tea cup and took a sip without saying a word.
Jia Heng took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, I won't talk about your scandal anymore."
Chen Xiao glanced at Jia Heng angrily, raised his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do with these people?"
Jia Heng looked at the night in the courtyard and said: "Let's torture first to see if we can pull out the radish and bring out the mud. A few people are implicated, but I think this clue can only be sent in by the Ma family, and the others are not good either."
If we move, we still have to return to Liu Shengzao's line, now it's just a breakthrough."
Naturally, he hoped that Ma Xianjun would be like Wu Zhuan when he was arrested, and start biting him crazily in order to obtain a reduced sentence for meritorious service. However, for such a family head-like figure, the more likely option is to keep secret in order to protect others.
Thoughts appeared on Chen Xiaoqing's beautiful face, and she said softly: "I think that's why you kept that Nan Ling. In fact, it would be better if she was Wang Shouqi's eyeliner. You just have an excuse, and that Gu Ruoqing,
If you can gather her, I might be able to help you obtain information about Liu Shengzao, but as you said, this woman looks very scheming and seems to be a liar."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "The beauty trap is too slow, and Liu Shengzao is not that stupid. Today is just a coincidence. If he knew that I was also in Huanhua Building, he would not come here no matter how much he drank. Besides, in the past
It is too despicable for a powerful woman to bend over and seduce Liu Shengzao."
Then when he dispatched Anma, he still had a bottom line and did not use seduction tactics.
Chen Xiao said softly: "You are not so despicable."
There are still some bottom lines, but hanging out with Princess Chu and that one who seems to be Princess Beijing is indeed a bit unspeakable of a gentleman.
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "Otherwise, do you think you would be safe and sound if you fell into my hands?"
Chen Xiao sneered and said: "Kill first...then, is that what you said at the beginning? Why do you still want to try it?"
When we first met, Jia Heng did say a lot of things that now seem a bit frivolous and unprovoked, but they actually had no other meaning.
Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and looked at Chen Xiao. The girl's face was unpainted, and the men's clothing in a plain brocade robe was more heroic and handsome than the women's clothing. He said: "If you scare people, how can you take it seriously? Besides,
, you are not being nice now, you don’t remember a word of my kindness to you, but you remember clearly the bad things.”
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment. When she was good, she also remembered, but not much. The "Xiaoxiao be careful" she said in a hurry before was probably blurted out? She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.
"Like how you deceived Tushan before?"
Having said that, the person in front of me is as good at playing with people's hearts as my senior sister.
Jia Heng put down the tea cup and said, not wanting to talk further: "That's about it. What's wrong with you today? Say what you have to say, why are you going around in circles?"
Chen Xiao picked up the tea cup on the side and took a sip. He looked thoughtful and said, "Nothing, just asking."
I'm just trying to get to know this cousin. Although he is the heir of the prince, during this period of contact, his character seems to have some merits, but he is too obsessed with women.
If you have low emotional intelligence, your waistband will be loose and your crotch will be damaged.
Why were you so messy with Princess Chu and Princess Beijing that day?
"That Nan Ling, if you don't accept it, do you think you don't like the little girl?" Chen Xiao narrowed her beautiful eyebrows and looked at the young man with deep eyebrows, who lowered his head to sip tea and didn't know what he was thinking, and asked.
Jia Heng: "???"
Shen Sheng said: "As I said just now, because the origin is unknown, I don't want to bother staring at a person anymore, why do you suddenly ask me what I am doing?"
In fact, I didn't talk much with Chen Xiao. Every time I talked, I just kept talking. The main reason was that Chen Xiao didn't want to talk about her past and present.
"I'm wondering if these two women, Princess Chu and Princess Beijing, are the women you say can deceive others." Chen Xiao slowly uttered two words.
She felt it was necessary to remind her cousin not to mess with anyone. Xian Ning didn't care about it before, but she wanted to see the person in the palace who was in agony after knowing the truth.
But Princess Chu Zhen Qing, as she knew in Beijing, was not a kind person. This woman was quite similar to those scheming and ruthless women in the palace in the past, especially if she was deceived.
Jia Heng was surprised and said: "You are so good, what are you talking about?"
I vaguely understood that this was talking about the previous drama about the two concubines.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't like little girls, he likes Daiyu quite a lot, and his liking for Daiyu has nothing to do with age. He likes thirty-year-old Daiyu just as much, and he has liked her since childhood.
Chen Xiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His clear eyes seemed to reflect the young man's figure, and he said calmly: "Liu Shengzao has a son who also likes other people's wives. Over the years, he has done a lot of things to take away other people's wives."
It's a matter of conscience, see if you can find a breakthrough here and have someone monitor it."
Jia Heng automatically ignored "ye", put on a facelift to tone down his appearance, and asked: "How do you say it?"
There was something strange in Chen Xiaoqing's eyes, and he said coldly: "In order to get a wife, he forced many people to die. I have had people collect information for the past two days, and I think it is shocking. His father must have helped him save a lot of lives."
lawsuit."
Jia Heng felt strange when he saw Chen Xiao. He had no intention of harming King Chu and King Beijing. It seemed that these two people were more alive...
Dispelling the strange feeling in his heart, he nodded and said: "This is a clue. Previously, the Jinyi Mansion was surrounding several salt merchants and Jurchens. I will let people keep an eye on them later."
Immediately, there was silence for a moment, and he looked at Chen Xiao calmly and said seriously: "Yesterday was actually not what you imagined. I was the one who was forced."
He felt that it was necessary to clarify something to Chen Xiao while he was busy talking, otherwise Chen Xiao would have preconceived ideas about him and think he had some special hobbies.
Let me state in advance that first of all, he did not take the initiative to provoke anyone.
I don’t even think that there was any mercy before. As for Chen Xiao, he had always been prepared to be trained as a tool, so he gradually became more intentional about arranging flowers.
"To be honest, I was poisoned and plotted against me. It's the kind of poison you walk around in the world like I love one, yin and yang... and other messy poisons." Jia Heng frowned, and there still seemed to be a coldness in his eyes.
Fortunately, it’s not poison, Zhen Qing is a femme fatale!
Who knows if she will be Empress Wei in the future?
Chen Xiao looked at the cold-faced and silent young man with a strange expression, his cheeks slightly covered with frost, and said, "But that day, you... didn't look like you were poisoned."
The scene with a strong visual impact inevitably appeared in front of my eyes. The Princess of Chu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting on the sand. Although she was gnashing her teeth and cursing in a low voice, she did not look like she was being forced.
It seemed that I was thinking deeply, and the magic sound that filled my ears vaguely sounded, "Pah, stick it out."
Jia Heng's face was as calm as water, and he said in a low voice: "Maybe he is getting better and better, and he knows the taste of the marrow."
Chen Xiao: "..."
No, who can tell her? Why are you discussing this with your cousin?
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, her eyes were cold, and she said expressionlessly: "Those who play with fire will burn themselves. You'd better restrain yourself. If you are seen by others, the consequences will be disastrous. With your current status, you can protect yourself, but it will cause trouble."
Criticism from political opponents."
Jia Heng said: "Well, I have my own sense of propriety, but don't always peek. The first time I saw you peeking on the eaves above Ciyun Temple, this time you went to the eaves again. Xiaoxiao, you were a child
Have you been beaten too much?"
Chen Xiao blinked and cleared his eyes, obviously confused.
"If you don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles."
Chen Xiao's eyebrows showed a hint of embarrassment and she whispered: "That's nonsense."
Jia Heng stood up and said warmly: "Okay, you go and have a rest early. I'll go to the backyard to change clothes."
Tomorrow, I might have to deal with the gods coming from Yangzhou and Jinling to inquire about the situation, and I also need to go see Daiyu. Daiyu, who has just established a relationship, is particularly clingy.
At this moment, in the wing where Daiyu was, the girl was wearing a lotus-colored dress, her hair was like clouds, and she had air bangs on her forehead. She was sitting behind the desk, looking towards the front yard. The grandma who had just sent the message had already replied, nothing happened.
Son.
It's just that I haven't come here yet, it's been... half a quarter of an hour.
"Girl, cheese tea." Zicuckoo came from the side, holding a tea cup to wake up Daiyu.
Daiyu sighed softly, turned around and said softly: "Sister Zijuan, I can't drink it."
Zicuckoo smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry. Since the uncle said there's nothing wrong, I'll be here soon and nothing will happen."
And just at this moment, an astonishing voice came from outside, "The uncle is here."
When Daiyu heard this, she felt happy and quickly followed the sound, only to hear the sound of footsteps coming. After taking a bath, a young man who changed into a robe with a python-shaped pattern pattern entered the side room through the curtain.
"Sister Lin, haven't you rested yet?" Jia Heng stared at the girl standing under the window with a gloomy black eyebrow.
"Brother Heng." Daiyu called softly with joy in her eyes.
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Zijuan, and said warmly: "Sister Lin and I will have a few words alone."
Zijuan nodded, smiled slightly, and quickly left the wing.
Jia Heng came close enough to see the girl coming like a gust of wind, breaking into his arms, and said in a choked voice: "Brother Heng."
"Sister, why are you crying? There's nothing wrong with me. I was on guard before." Jia Heng put his arm around Daiyu's shoulders and gently stroked the girl's back. At this moment, he felt a little like Fairy Jiangzhu, and only returned a few tears to him.
The weight of words.
He couldn't water it anymore, so he could only irrigate something else.
At the beginning, he also led troops to fight outside, went through life and death, and never saw Daiyu shed a single tear, because his relationship had not reached that stage at that time.
So, a thousand words of good morning, good night, have you eaten? Even a sincere essay is not as good as an adventurous physical contact.
"My sister is worried." Jia Heng allowed Daiyu to sob softly for a while, supported Daiyu's shoulders, looked at Daiyu, whose eyes were dim with tears as the pear blossoms were covered with rain, he reached out and wiped it with his thumb, and said warmly: "Previously
I told my sister, why is she still so concerned about me?"
After wiping away her tears, Daiyu's pretty face was stained with tears. A pair of bright eyes as clear as water were tracing the lines of the young man's face, and she said softly: "Brother Heng, using your body as bait is too risky after all, huh~"
However, before he finished speaking, he saw a shadow approaching, warmth and softness came over him, Daiyu squeaked, her curved eyelashes trembled down, and her snow-faced skin was as red as clouds, and her delicate body was half soft, letting the young man
Comforting as usual.
After a while, Jia Heng hugged Daiyu, whose head was lowered to her chest, and she couldn't help herself. She grabbed her slender hand, came to the side and sat down, and whispered: "Fortunately, I'm used to it."
This is how it should be with the teary-eyed Daiyu. As long as she spends her days soaking in the honey pot and doting on her, there will be very few quarrels.
Daiyu's delicate body softened for a long time, she pursed her glossy lips, her jade cheeks were as red as blood, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She said angrily: "Brother Heng, why are you..."
As the girl had more contact with Jia Heng, she gradually got used to Jia Heng's side of people in front of others and behind others, and she gradually became better and enjoyed it.
The kind of love and cherishment in the disagreement, coupled with the neither salty nor bland attitude of Jia Heng in the past, are almost completely different from the central air-conditioning Baoyu in the original work.
"I don't know why, every time I see my sister, I feel that my sister is gentle and lovable, so I can't help but want to get close to her." Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, who had eyebrows and starry eyes, and whispered in his ear: "Sister Lin, what are you talking about?
what to do?"
Daiyu: "..."
The girl's eyebrows were lowered, and her bright eyes were as rippling as water. He was such an old man, and he was such a rogue, what else could she say?
Doesn't he treat his sister-in-law like this?
Well, I can't think about this... When I think about it, I feel a little sad.
Jia Heng held Dai Yusu's hand, who was feeling a little depressed, with one hand, and put his other hand around the girl's shoulder, and said softly: "We just arrested a few people, and we'll interrogate them first. We'll see what happens in the next two days. Let's wait for two days."
Delay going to Jinling."
Although the Duduo assassination incident happened, it did not delay his trip to Jinling. Instead, he left Yangzhou at this time, and the soldiers and horses of the Henan Dusi came to cooperate with him to go to the Jinling household department to ask for pay and let people touch him.
Regardless of his true thoughts.
Daiyu leaned her head on Jia Heng's arms, and was held by Jia Heng's hand. She lowered her eyes with clear eyes, but she saw that her fingers were long and slender, and their joints were like jade. They were bigger than her own little hands. She couldn't help but pursed her lips.
He said softly: "Brother Heng is busy with official duties. It would be better if I didn't wait at home so that Brother Heng would not be distracted by me."
Perhaps it was because Jia Heng's assassination frightened Daiyu, or maybe it was the sweetness after they fell in love. It was already the romance of Jinling and the mist of Gusu. It didn't make any difference whether they went to Jinling or not.
"It doesn't matter. After this assassination, we should be able to calm down for a long time. Now it's others who are worried. Besides, I also want to take my sister around. Being stuck at home all the time is not good for my health." Jia Heng sniffed.
She smelled the fragrance between Daiyu's hair, and she didn't know what kind of spice it was, but it was quite consistent with Daiyu's temperament. It was fresh and elegant, refreshing, and she said softly: "Besides, my sister said this as if you are at home, and I don't care.
It's the same as my heart, but I can't see it, and it won't necessarily be even more distracting."
Daiyu seemed to have lost her mood for some reason just now. A girl's mood curve itself goes up and down, so there is a saying of striking while the iron is hot.
As for what happened next, it was Daiyu’s words that left Daiyu speechless.
Listening to the young man's somewhat doting words, Daiyu was delighted. Under her smokey brows, her starry eyes sparkled, and her icy face turned red. She said briskly: "Brother Heng thinks I'm here."
It’s good that there is no impact on the people around me. When the case is investigated later, I will have an excuse to rectify the salt affairs.”
She didn't want to be separated from him, and for some reason, she just liked being with him. When we were together, she felt that time flew by quickly. The short time they had just been separated, for some reason, the days seemed like years.
She didn't know what was wrong, it wasn't like this before.
In fact, this is a sign of being in love, where you want to be together all the time, and you can't get enough energy to do anything.
Jia Heng said softly: "The case is easy to investigate, but the Jurchens marched straight in and assassinated people in the territory openly. Especially the coastal defenses in the south of the Yangtze River were lax. After we go to Jinling, there are still a lot of things waiting for us."
Without waiting for the people in Jiangnan to impeach, he wanted to take the lead in impeachment, and presided over the reconstruction of the navy and inspected the Jiang Defense Station. Therefore, he still had to go to Jinling on this trip to compete with the governor of Liangjiang and the Jinling War Department for power.
Daiyu's bright eyes under her airy bangs were fixed and affectionate, and she said softly: "If you want the salt affairs to be as Brother Heng said to Dad that day, this case shouldn't be enough."
The girl also read a lot of relevant classics in the past two days, gained a lot of knowledge, and also understood the current situation that Jia Heng and Lin Ruhai are facing.
Jia Heng gently stroked Daiyu's hair, which was soft and lush, and said: "Yes, it's just that we have opened up the situation, so there is no need to worry about the rest."
Daiyu pursed her lips and suddenly said softly: "Yesterday, Princess Chu and Princess Beijing said they wanted Xinxin and I to go over on the Zhen family's boat."
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "Then what do you think?"
Did he doubt that Daiyu was testing him? Probably not. Although Daiyu was keen on these things, he didn't reveal his secrets, so there shouldn't be any doubts.
Daiyu said softly: "I think Brother Heng seems to be wary of the Zhen family, a little hesitant, but he likes Xinxin quite a lot."
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Be prepared to be prepared, but not all of them. Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing is okay, but Princess Chu Zhen Qing has bad intentions. My sister will have less to do with Princess Chu in the future. I originally wanted to take the same boat with my sister
, check out the scenery along the way."
Daiyu said "hmm", thought for a while, and said softly: "Then I will have less contact with the Princess of Chu. Brother Heng told his father last time that collecting salt would benefit the country, and he wanted to change the salt system. This pair of salt merchants
It’s just the first step.”
Jia Heng smiled, looked at the beautiful girl, and said, "Why is my sister suddenly interested in this?"
Daiyu suddenly paid attention to this aspect. She could only say that she really wanted to enter his world and have more common topics.
Baochai also tried it, but Baochai was worried that she would be too smart and would displease him, so she always hid her clumsiness in front of him. Some men don't like their women to overpower them.
"It's quite interesting to see Brother Heng and Daddy talking about this before." Daiyu said softly.
Jia Heng smiled and said, "How about giving my sister a job as a salt inspector?"
Capture smugglers and inspect salt affairs, don't say it all.
When Daiyu heard this, her heart was filled with embarrassment and joy, her starry eyes flashed, and she said angrily: "Brother Heng makes fun of people, what have I done?"
Jia Heng fixedly looked at Daiyu, who was smiling slightly and with blooming cherry blossoms. On the contrary, Daiyu was so embarrassed that she turned her pretty face away and said softly: "Brother Heng, why are you looking at me?"
Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "I was just thinking, how could there be someone as good as my sister in the world? She is like a piece of crystal clear."
Daiyu: "..."
This... is she so good? A crystal clear piece of crystal. Does this mean what she is thinking?
Jia Heng looked at Daiyu, who was contemplating, but said nothing and moved closer, approaching with warmth and softness.
At first glance, Daiyu was inconspicuous. Well, this sentence is inappropriate. It is because we have been with Daiyu for a long time, and it really feels like her soul has been infiltrated little by little. It does not mean that she has been acting petty.
Of course, these may not be important, but always praising the divine religion can allow Daiyu's character to develop appropriately according to his requirements.
This itself is a positive reward mechanism.
Because no one likes to criticize others, kindness often does not get feedback, empathy does not respond, and the indifferent side of human nature that stems from self-protection rears its head.
And just when Jia Heng was having personal feelings, Zijuan's trembling voice suddenly came from outside, "Master, you... why are you here?"
