Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

While talking, Xu Wenying and Zhao Lin also went out of the room because they heard the noise, and when they saw Wei Zhen asking the guy, they also came up.At first, the guy was unwilling to gossip and provoke right and wrong, but seeing that the few people standing in front of him who looked either rich or expensive were not ordinary people, after weighing it, he still told the truth.

"The courtyard next to it was originally the house of the Zhao family. Later, the Zhao family moved out, and the house was bought by a couple. Speaking of the couple, this..." The man hesitated, and then said: "They They are not in business. They often go out for ten days and a half months and don’t come back. When they come back, they always have one or two children who are born in the face. They are all neighbors in the neighborhood. We have seen them a few times, and we all know them. There are many, most of these two couples are working as kidnappers for a living."

After hearing this, everyone's faces were not very good-looking. Because of her childhood experience, Xu Wenying developed a temperament of jealousy and hatred, and she was very angry when she heard this. Didn't report to the officer?"

The man grinned bitterly and said with a wry smile: "Guest officer, our small town is under the administration of Taide County, and usually we only see people sent by the county government when collecting taxes. The neighbors in the neighborhood couldn't see it and went to the head of the village to argue, but the head there didn't know what benefits the couple had received, so he ignored them and told us not to be suspicious and meddle in our own business. It’s just a feeling inside, so what can I do?”

After the buddy finished speaking, Xu Wenying restrained his anger and sent the buddy away. He had already made up his mind to take care of this business. At this time, Jing Xuan was already fully dressed, so he naturally listened to what the buddy said just now. When we arrived, Jing Xuan nodded and said to the three of them when he saw that the three people in front of him looked aggrieved, "Since we are living here and we have something to deal with, let's take care of it."

Just like what the guy said, the people living in the yard next to them are really a couple who are kidnappers. Now there are three girls living in the yard, and they are not very old. The one looked to be only three or four years old. The couple were startled when they saw a few young boys barging in. Then they yelled sharply and grabbed the wooden stick by the door.

After all, Xu Wenying had been a water bandit for so many years, so he was not afraid of him, it was fine if he didn't make a move, this move hit Xu Wenying's arms, and within two strokes he restrained this strong man.Only then did the couple realize that the iron plate was mentioned, and they begged for mercy again and again, swearing that they would never do this kind of business again in the future, and change their ways.

Jing Xuan frowned: "I'm afraid that we will leave tomorrow, and you will return to your old jobs in the future. If I don't care about this matter, it's fine. If I manage it, I will never have future troubles."

Everyone thought this way, and the abducted girls had already been taken back to the inn for placement.Because it will take at least one or two years to go to Yangzhou this time, so Jingxuan brought all the nuns and maids from Zhou's mansion with him, and it happened to arrange these girls at this time. over there.

Seeing the scared and timid appearance of the three girls, the nuns cursed the kidnapper for his insanity, comforted the girls, and asked them carefully. The kidnapper has come, and he has long forgotten his name and where he lives;

There is also a seven-year-old who was abducted three years ago. At first, she was afraid of being beaten by the abductor and dared not speak up. Later, seeing that the nuns were all kind and friendly, she cried out with a "wow", but she He was only four years old when he was abducted, and he didn't remember much. He only remembered that he lived in Jinling, his surname was Zhen, and his name was Yinglian. There was a famous gourd temple near his home, so he didn't know anything about it.

The youngest one is only three years old now, and she was just abducted by a kidnapper. The cry that Jing Xuan and the others heard just now belonged to this girl. , I don’t know anything.

The matter of Zhen Yinglian is the best solution. Jing Xuan also heard about the Gourd Temple when he was in Jinling. When the time comes, he will send someone over to inquire about it. It seems that the remaining two matters will take time, and everything will be controlled. They were all settled in Yangzhou City, Jingxuan pressed all these matters, and the two kidnappers were tied up in the car by Wuhuada, and they were taken to Yangzhou to liquidate.

There is nothing to say on the road, and this day I finally arrived in Yangzhou. Now the cheap daddy Lin Ruhai is working as the inspector of salt, and his official residence is in Yangzhou; The emperor's old boy secretly arrived in Yangzhou, and Jing Xuan really had a headache as to which place to go first.

At this moment, an old acquaintance came to greet him from a distance, Jing Xuan took a look, was it Xue Pan and Wu Niang or which one?Now that Xue Pan and Wu Niang are engaged, it stands to reason that suspicion should be avoided, but Wu Niang's temperament has always been used to doing her own way, and Xue Pan is also a person who doesn't play cards according to the rules, and the two of them are still tired all day long. At the same time, Wu Niang took care of the Escort Bureau and Xue's business as usual. Although it caused a lot of gossip, the two didn't care.

Mrs. Xue was so angry that her liver hurt, but the head of the family, Xue Mingyi, looked at the growing property of the Xue family, and his son, who was getting more and more sensible, liked and satisfied Wu Niang a thousand times. Mrs. Xue had no choice but to wait for Jin Wu After the mother passed the door, I could take up the role of mother-in-law and teach her the rules.

Although Xue Pan has improved a lot now, the shadow that Jing Xuan cast on him is really hard to dispel, so seeing Jing Xuan, he still couldn't help but feel a little chilled. After passing Jingxuan, he said with a smile: "Everyone in the bodyguard bureau is looking forward to the arrival of the eldest son, so it can be regarded as looking forward to you!"

Seeing Wu Niang's expression, Jing Xuan knew that there was something to say, so he didn't ask any more questions in the street, nodded, and led everyone to the escort agency along with Wu Niang and Xue Pan.

After entering the bodyguard bureau, he looked at the people present. One of them was Yu Hua, whom Jing Xuan was familiar with. He must have been sent by Huan Chen to protect the emperor. Dressed like a scholar, most likely he is from the Lin family.Seeing this, Jing Xuan thought to himself, strangely speaking, logically speaking, when he arrived in Yangzhou, he had to either meet the Emperor first, or go to the Lin Mansion first. In any case, there was no reason to come to the Escort first, but it turned out that it was the Lin family and the Emperor. They sent people to the Escort Bureau, after thinking about it, Jing Xuan also figured it out, the emperor must have reached some consensus with the Lin family, and it was probably for the salt administration.

What Jing Xuan expected was right. The emperor secretly came to Yangzhou, so he naturally wanted to hide it as much as possible, but in order to take Jing Xuan to live with him, others can hide it, but Lin Ruhai can't hide it. The inspector censor here told Lin Ruhai his whereabouts, but there was nothing wrong with it, so Lin Ruhai was the only person in the entire Yangzhou city who knew that the emperor had come here secretly.

Unavoidably, there are too many people, and only Lin Ruhai and his wife, and Lin Ruhai's trusted aide, Jia Yucun, were the only ones who knew the news in the huge Lin family. What he said was that he was dismissed from office because of being squeezed by Shangfeng and assassinated by his colleagues.

Lin Ruhai talked with him about the past and the present, and felt that this person was a great talent, and he cherished his talent and ambition, but also thought that there was a shortage of people in the field of investigation and salt affairs, so he kept him, one thing was to be an enlightenment for his daughter Second, he can be hired as an aide to assist him in handling the salt administration, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.This Jia Yucun was afraid that there would be no place to display his "talent", so when he saw Lin Ruhai appreciated it, he readily agreed, and he gained Lin Ruhai's trust.

It was the first time Jia Yucun had seen this legendary young master of the Lin family, so he couldn't help but take a second look, but he was a man of the city, so he quickly restrained his expression, but Jingxuan was the most However, he is keen, and has already noticed his expression. Jing Xuan is a man with a keen mind and his emotions are all in accordance with his own heart. He also likes his eyes in everything. Picky nose and picky eyes, today Jing Xuan saw that Jia Yucun was so displeased, he didn't even give him a look, and just wanted to get rid of him quickly so that he could talk to Yu Hua.

So Jing Xuan patiently asked him a few things about the Lin Mansion, and then sent him off: "You go back first, you will go to the mansion when I have free time here."

Jia Yucun naturally also felt Jingxuan's impatience, and he knew what was going on, so he bowed and left when he heard the words. Who knew that just as he walked to the door, he happened to see the three girls who were carried down from the carriage, and Jia Yucun's eyes fell. When she saw Yinglian's face, she couldn't help showing a look of astonishment. When the people around saw her, they paid attention and asked, "Why, Mr. Jia recognizes it?"

Jia Yucun shook his head quickly, but the man didn't ask any further questions. He told Jing Xuan only after Jia Yucun left. Jing Xuan nodded to show that he understood, so he put the matter aside and asked Yu Hua first:

"Why did the emperor come to Yangzhou all of a sudden? The emperor's message was vague, which is quite puzzling." Jing Xuan asked Yu Hua.

Yu Hua sighed, and then explained the whole story to Jing Xuan: "It's all about the salt administration. Recently, the taxation of the salt administration has gone from bad to worse. The emperor got the news that many officials in the south of the Yangtze River colluded with the salt merchants to boil the salt. The sale of private salt filled their pockets, and many of them were families who had picked them up several times. When the emperor allowed them to intervene in salt administration, it might have meant that they had tacitly allowed them to use this matter to make up for the shortfall.

For this reason, the emperor and the emperor quarreled a few words. The emperor insisted that these old ministers had difficulties and excuses, but the emperor believed that they were using the emperor's favor to enrich their own pockets. Let's not stop until the truth is found out. "

Jing Xuan's forehead jumped when he heard this, do we need to investigate this kind of thing?To fill the gap?There is a lot of oil and water in this smuggling of salt. After so many years, no matter how much the deficit is, it has been filled.This reason is very useful, I'm afraid that these people got money from the salt business, and the first thing they thought of was not to make up for the shortfall!

The emperor has been in power for so many years, it is impossible not to see through this point. It can be seen that the father and son have too much alike temperament, and their words are too serious. If the words are rushed to this point, they will never be taken back. It is really... Jing Xuan sighed helplessly.

First, he followed Yu Hua to meet the emperor. The emperor really carried out the micro-clothes matter thoroughly. He even chose the back house of the bodyguard bureau for his residence, and his clothes were no different from those of the rich and noble family. Seeing such an emperor, he was still a little bit astonished. Looking at it again, in three years, the emperor saw that he had grown a little older, but he was full of energy, his eyes were still piercing, and he could tell that his body was still strong.

The old man was also looking forward to seeing Jing Xuan. Seeing his precious grandson, his eyes were even brighter. He pulled Jing Xuan up and down to look, and nodded in satisfaction: "I have grown a lot taller, and my body has become stronger. Not bad. good."

Jing Xuan sighed: "You are really too old to come here to Yangzhou, so you are not afraid of those people jumping over the wall in a hurry. What if something good or bad happens?"

The emperor blew on his beard: "They dare!"

Jing Xuan looked at him with the eyes of a child, flattened his mouth when he saw the emperor, and touched his nose softly: "I also know that brat is right, but he doesn't want to save face for me as a father. This time, I must find out those ungrateful guys with my own hands, so that I can return to Beijing with face!"

Yes, I am really angry!Jing Xuan sighed with a headache, turned around and asked Yu Hua, "You can deploy the staff of the Escort Bureau as you like, so we must protect the safety of this place."

Yu Hua nodded, "The emperor sent secret guards to accompany him to ensure the safety of the emperor."

The emperor pretended not to hear, looked up at the white clouds in the sky, Jing Xuan was very angry and funny, sent someone to make tea, and played a few games of chess with the emperor in the yard, which made the old boy quite happy.

After leaving the Emperor's side, Jing Xuan should also go to the Lin Mansion for a while. Thinking of Jia Yucun's look at the three girls just now, after thinking about it, Jing Xuan asked the accompanying mother to take the girls with her. On the way, we went to Lin's mansion together.

I went to see Lin Ruhai first, and the father and son "respected each other like ice" and chatted. Naturally, Lin Ruhai's purpose was to ask Jing Xuan to be cautious in his words and deeds when accompanying the driver. After Jing Xuan complied, the father and son also Having nothing to say, Lin Ruhai waved his hands: "Go and see your sister."

When Jingxuan arrived at the back house, Xiao Daiyu was waiting to see her brother in Jia Min's room. Jingxuan also brought her a lot of gifts this time, and the mothers brought them here first. When Jingxuan entered the room , Jia Min was talking to the nuns, and Xiao Daiyu was surrounded by these gifts he brought.

Seeing her brother, Xiao Daiyu's eyes lit up all of a sudden. Although the brother and sister hadn't seen each other for three years, Xiao Daiyu still recognized the person in front of her as her brother at a glance, and the change in Xiaowa was even greater. Well, when Jingxuan saw Daiyu, the younger sister who hadn't seen her for three years, got better and better, and felt a little happy in her heart.

After gossiping for a while, Jing Xuan told about the accidental rescue of three girls on the road. Jia Min hurriedly called the three girls in. Seeing that these three girls were abducted by kidnappers and separated from their parents at a young age, I naturally felt more unbearable. Looking at the timid appearance of these three girls, I felt more and more sympathy, so I said to Jing Xuan :

"You still have things to do now. It's inconvenient to take these three girls with you, so stay with me. I'll send someone to find their biological parents. It's a good thing if God opens his eyes and finds them. It was really a huge crowd, so I stayed by my side to find a relative, and always let them find a place to live."

Jia Min's move was in Jing Xuan's arms, and it was good for the Lin family to come forward, but as much as Jia Min sympathized with these girls, he hated the kidnapper, and the kidnapper and his wife were naturally handed over to the Lin family. In the presence of Mr. Xunyan Yushi, how could the governor of Yangzhou government not pay attention to this matter, the kidnapper and his wife were immediately sentenced to exile in the frontier.

Within a few days, Jingxuan got the news from the Lin family that Zhen Yinglian's relatives had been found, and among them, Jia Yucun contributed a lot.It turned out that when Jia Yucun saw Yinglian that day, he felt suspicious. After all, the cinnabar mole on the girl's forehead was too eye-catching. The girl named Zhen Yinglian, who lives next to the Jinling Gourd Temple, Jia Yu Village identified her as the girl from Zhen Shiyin's family in Jinling.

It's just that when he left Jinling to go to Beijing to take the exam, this girl was still pampered by the Zhen family, how she was rescued from the kidnapper suddenly, Jia Yucun was also puzzled by the second monk Zhang Er, but he was able to prove it With Yinglian's identity, things are easy to handle. Compared with Yinglian's memory, Jia Yucun is undoubtedly more reliable. Her father, Zhen Shiyin, also disappeared suddenly, and their family lost all their property because of a fire in the Gourd Temple. Now the wife of the Zhen family, Feng Shi, has returned to her natal family, and her life is not as good as it should be.

After finally finding Mrs. Zhen, Mrs. Feng, at first hearing that her daughter had been found, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but be in disbelief, as if in a dream. Until she saw her daughter, this mother and daughter were united. Although they had been separated for three years, Mrs. Feng still couldn't believe it. Recognizing her daughter at a glance, Na Yinglian threw herself into her mother's arms without saying a word, weeping. Jia Min looked at her and couldn't help but also shed tears.

When Jia Yucun learned about the situation of Zhen Shiyin's family, he also beat his chest and stamped his feet. He talked about Zhen Shiyin's kindness to him, and said that he would treat Feng's family as his sister-in-law and Yinglian as his niece, and begged Lin Ruhai to give them mother and daughter. Finding a place to stay in Yangzhou, all the expenses should be borne by him.

Lin Ruhai praised Jia Yucun for his gratitude, and Jia Min even arranged the mother and daughter to live in Lin's mansion. The Feng family couldn't shirk it, and thanked them with gratitude. Jia Min sympathized with their family's experience. Seeing that Yinglian was young but very intelligent, she thought of making her a companion with Daiyu. Yinglian was indeed intelligent, and she was very understanding in reading and writing. She also got along well with Daiyu. Then he gradually lost the idea of ​​going back to Jinling.

As for the remaining two girls, they really can't remember their own backgrounds. Finding their relatives is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Where to find them in this vast sea of ​​people? Generally speaking, it is not a problem.

The news spread to Jing Xuan's ears, and seeing that the rescued girls were finally settled, he also let go of this matter, but for Jia Yucun, who was praised by the cheap daddy for knowing how to repay him, Jing Xuan felt in his heart His face became more and more contemptuous. If he really knew how to repay his kindness, how could it take him three years to find out that something happened to his benefactor?If it wasn't for what happened to Yinglian this time, I'm afraid that Jia Yucun would never think of his so-called benefactor for the rest of his life, would he?

Such hypocritical villains can also be praised, Jing Xuan snorted coldly, and sure enough Huan Chen's evaluation of Lin Ruhai really hit the nail on the head.Just as she was thinking, footsteps came from the door, Jing Xuan looked up, and saw Jin Sanniang standing at the door with colorful expressions on her face.

This Sanniang was originally charming, but now that she is older, she has added a bit of charm. At the beginning, she was the head of the water village, and I don't know how many men fell under her pomegranate skirt. Now, those men are flocking to her , she is different from her younger sister Wu Niang who had been appointed earlier, but San Niang has not seen a single one right these years. She usually laughs and scolds those men, but all those who want to take advantage of it are defeated. San Niang taught them a lesson for those who were not good-looking and tried to make a move.

No one knew that it was because Sanniang had something on her mind. Ever since she met Wei Zhen that year, Sanniang couldn't hold others in her heart. Only Xu Wenying could have guessed what was going on in her heart. Originally, he was happy to see it come true. On the one hand, he was the eldest brother Wei whom he admired the most, and on the other was the third sister. If they really became a family, he would naturally applaud.

It's a pity that this time Xu Wenying witnessed the matter between Wei Zhen and Jingxuan with her own eyes, so she naturally had some concerns in her heart. Make it clear.According to Brother Wei's temper, it's a matter of a lifetime if he is sure, I'm afraid that Sanniang will never have a chance.

Sanniang was stunned when she heard the news at first. Although she faintly felt that there seemed to be someone in Wei Zhen's heart, she didn't expect that person to be Jingxuan. Sanniang had to digest it for a while before accepting the news. It happened that the accounts of the Roewe Escort made her find out the problem again, so she had to tell Jing Xuan about it, and San Niang, who had been pretending to be an ostrich for so many days, arrived at Jing Xuan's door.

When the words came to her lips, she spared three people, but the emotional woman put the business at the end, and opened her mouth to say: "I only thought that Brother Wei was an idiot, but I didn't expect that I lost to you. That's all, let's go!" I won't be convinced if I lose to anyone, except you, I'm convinced if I lose to you."

Jing Xuan's face turned black, Wei Zhen's rotten peach blossom!
