Ningguo Mansion, Ning'an Hall.

At that time, Jia Dairu led Jia Chi, Jia Xiao, Jia Dun, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Cong, Jia Heng, Jia Juan, Jia Chen, Jia Qiong, Jia Lin, Jia Qiang, Jia Chang, Jia Ling, Jia Yun, Jia

Qin, Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao, Jia Heng, Jia Fen, Jia Fang, Jia Lan, Jia Jun, Jia Zhi, etc. all came.

Everyone looked at the body lying quietly in the middle of the hall with shocked and horrified expressions.

No one could believe that Jia Zhen, who had always been strong and strong but had never heard of any serious illness, died suddenly and suddenly.

It's just that the clan's mansion has brought the widow to come for inspection to rule out poisoning or being killed by others.

Whatever happens after that will be handled by the Jia family themselves.

Above the bright hall, the sound of crying shook the sky.

Since there was no one in charge of the East Mansion and the gate of Shenjing was closed, Jia Jing could not enter for a while, so Jia She was in charge for the time being.

He first ordered to ask the Yin and Yang Division of the Qin Tian Jian to choose a date, and chose the seventh or forty-ninth day for the funeral. The funeral was held three days later and the obituary was delivered.

One hundred and eight Zen monks were also invited to worship the Great Compassion Repentance in the hall, to transcend the souls of the deceased before and after death, so as to avoid the sins of the deceased.

Another altar is set up on the Tianxiang Tower, where ninety-nine Quanzhen Taoist priests perform forty-nine days to resolve grievances and wash away sins.

Then the spirit was placed in Huifang Garden, and fifty other eminent monks and fifty high priests were in front of the spirit, and they performed good deeds in front of the altar.

But everything was arranged properly, but it was discovered that a very important person was missing. Without this person, how would there be a funeral?

That is a filial son.

Jia Zhen has her own legitimate son, but although this legitimate son has saved his life, he is still in a coma.

Moreover, according to several famous doctors, even if the injury is healed, it is still uncertain whether he will be able to get out of bed in the future.

Because Jia Zhen’s chair should have broken the spine...

If this is true, even though Jia Rong is the legitimate son, it is hard to say whether Jia Zhen will be able to inherit the Ningguofu family business after his death.

However, Jia Jing will make the final decision when he returns home tomorrow. All Jia She has to do now is to select a temporary filial son for Jia Zhen.

Jia Dairu stroked his white beard and said slowly: "After the Ning Kingdom, there were not many direct descendants. The bloodline of the eldest family has withered... Nowadays, the great-great-grandchildren of the Ning Kingdom, except Rong Geer, only have Jia Qiang, Jia Chang and Jia Ling.

Jia Chang is over forty years old and is older than the deceased, so he is not suitable to be a dutiful son. Jia Qiang is not in Beijing, so Jia Ling is the only one left."

As soon as these words came out, a young man in his twenties could hardly conceal the ecstasy in his eyes. He stood up and knelt down and said: "Uncle Zhen has always loved me the most. Now that something like this has happened, I feel like a knife."

, I will be willing to die even if I can be a filial son for Uncle Zhen."

This kind of fawning appearance makes people dislike him very much.

Although the Jia family has no foresight, they are not fools. How could they not see Jia Ling's little thoughts?

But right now, it seems that this person can only be allowed to take the lead.

…

The next morning.

Imperial City, Daming Palace.

In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Long'an looked at the secret fold that was brought up, frowned, and said with some surprise: "Jia Zhen is dead?"

Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, bowed and replied: "Long live my lord, he died at the end of Haishi last night. The Zongren Mansion has sent someone to take Wu Zuo for examination. It was not a homicide, but he died suddenly of an illness. Tai Hospital

Wang Laoyuan also received a reply from the court. Although I don’t know how I got the disease, it’s probably not someone doing evil. But..."

Emperor Long'an looked solemn and asked: "But what?"

He is suspicious by nature and never believes that a person who is doing well will suddenly die suddenly.

Dai Quan hurriedly replied: "But before he died, Jia Zhen had a conflict with his only son Jia Rong, and shouted loudly that it was Jia Rong who poisoned him. This was the response received from Wang Yuanjing of Taiyuan Hospital. Yes, it’s not poison, it’s Qingxin Powder. It’s something that makes people pure and calm.”

Emperor Long'an asked curiously: "Jia Rong gave me Qingxin Powder? Why is this?"

Dai Quan hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Emperor Long'an's eyes suddenly became sharp, he was startled and said hurriedly: "Maybe it's because Jia Zhen always calls his daughter-in-law, Jia Rong's wife Qin, when they are alone together. She painted ink paintings. She also always asked Mrs. Qin to cook rock sugar and lotus seed soup for her. Jia Rong was worried...worried about his old man picking up the ashes, so she asked Mr. Qin to add Qingxin Powder to the rock sugar and lotus seed soup. When Jia Zhen found out, she was shocked on the spot. He smashed Jia Rong with a chair, and he is still unconscious at the moment. It is said that the injury is extremely serious. Even if he recovers, he will probably be able to collapse on the bed."

Emperor Long'an was furious when he heard this. He slapped the imperial case and cursed: "What a waste of time, you are a beast who doesn't care about human relations!"

He was about to promote the Jia family, wanted to win over the founding heroes, and divide the military power of the Yuanping heroes. He had already made a plan, but he didn't expect that something like this happened again.

The heroes of Yuanping were of course loyal to Dayan and also to the Tian family.

But the object of their allegiance is the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor Chuan was behind him, and although he ignored everything, he only left the palace once and caused such a big disturbance.

What's the reason?

In addition to the old ministers at the beginning of the Manchu Dynasty, the most important thing is that the military power of Dayan is still firmly in his hands.

Although Emperor Long'an did not believe that his throne would still be shaken, the emperor was the most insecure person in the world. If he did not hold enough military power to protect himself, he would not even be able to sleep at night.

Jia Zhen's life and death were of no importance to him.

However, something like this happened to the Jia family, which delayed his promotion of the Jia family and then laid out military power. How could he not be angry?

At this moment, outside the Yangxin Hall, the eunuch Xia Shouzhong hurriedly came in, holding a sealed lacquer box in his hand. After entering the hall, he knelt down and said: "Long live the Lord, Yangzhou Prefecture has sent an urgent secret."

When Emperor Long'an heard this, his eyes narrowed. Dai Quan stepped forward, looked at Xia Shouzhong with a half-smile, then took the lacquer box and looked at it carefully. Seeing that the seal was intact, he nodded to Emperor Long'an, and then Open the lacquer box, take out the secret fold and give it to Emperor Long'an.

Emperor Long'an unfolded the secret fold and looked at it. The frown on his face gradually relaxed. When he saw the last number, he laughed three times and praised three times: "Well done! Well done! Well done." OK!"

But in the end, his eyes focused on a person's name, and he began to think thoughtfully. After a while, he suddenly looked at Dai Quan and asked: "What did you say about Jia Zhen's son Jia Rong?"

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Returning to the master, Jia Zhen's son Jia Rong had his spine broken by Jia Zhen. Although his life has been saved, he is still unconscious, and even if he wakes up, he will probably be paralyzed on the bed."

Emperor Long'an said a noncommittal "Huh" and said slowly: "I remember that Jia Qiang seems to be the decent great-great-grandson of Ning Guo Gong Jia Yan, right?"

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "That's right. However, now that Jia Qiang is not in the capital, the Jia family has appointed another great-great-grandson of the Duke of Xianning, Jia Ling, as Jia Zhen's filial son."

When Emperor Long'an heard this, he sneered. Although he didn't say anything more, his eyes twinkled.

Shixun's heir, is it possible that whoever the Jia family wants to claim belongs to whom?

joke!

…

Yangzhou Prefecture, Yanyuan Yamen.

Early in the morning, Jia Qiang was having breakfast in the small study and smiled when she saw Xiang Ling's fair and rosy face moist and moist.

When Xiangling saw Jia Qiang looking at her, she was too embarrassed to raise her eyes and buried her head in eating.

Last night she was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying. Although Jia Qiang tried to persuade her in every possible way, it was to no avail. Master Qiang really used force to stop her tears.

Thinking of last night, she hugged Jia Qiang like an octopus all night. Just thinking about it now, she felt that her body was too weak to lift up...

After finishing the meal, Xiang Ling quickly put away the dishes and ran away like a little rabbit amidst Jia Qiang's laughter.

But not long after Xiangling left, Jia Qiang welcomed two unexpected guests...

"Uncle Li, Aunt Sun, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Qiang stood up and asked the two of them to sit down. Li Fu looked at the crutches in his hands and sighed inwardly. He looked at Jia Qiang and said, "There was a lot of noise yesterday. We wanted to come and have a look, but we weren't allowed to go out. Let's see now."

"Look, it doesn't seem like anything's wrong with you..."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Nothing happened. I was lucky enough to escape."

Li Fu sighed when he heard this and said slowly: "Yes, I am lucky and escaped, but what if I am not lucky? I am old and disabled, so I can't do much. Fortunately, your Aunt Sun's skills are still there.

Especially when you are intercepted, her hidden weapons can help you get out of trouble. Moreover, your Aunt Sun has good ears, so she can tell if there is an ambush around. From now on, let her stay with you."

Jia Qiang was startled when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "No, no, you are both old and mature. You can help me train a group of good hands on Jufeng Island, which is already a great help. How can we break it up?"

Second elder, ask Aunt Sun to protect me? This is not a polite word, nor is it a heresy, there is really no need for this."

Li Fu was silent for a while and said: "Five years, your Aunt Sun will protect you for five years and then come back. If it weren't for you alone, if you were good or bad, the Jinsha Gang would not be able to escape the disaster. Jing'er, you won't be able to live well in the rest of your life."

.”

Aunt Sun smiled and said: "Don't underestimate me. If I were here yesterday, anyone who dared to surround you within ten feet would have died."

As he said that, he gently raised his hand to smooth out the messy hair on his temples. It seemed like a very ordinary action, but Jia Qiang heard a "duh-duh" sound coming from all directions.

He looked around in shock...and saw nothing.

Then I saw Aunt Sun step forward and pull out a large handful of five-inch embroidery needles on the window bars, tables, chairs, door frames, etc...

Jia Qiang blinked, looked at Aunt Sun sincerely and asked: "Aunt Sun, I wonder if your craft has any rules that are passed down from female to male, from within to outside? But speaking of it, I am not one of them now.

outsider……"

Aunt Sun said with a smile: "The master of the strange way always said that you are a ghost, and you become like this when you see the benefits? There is nothing about my skills that cannot be passed on. It's just that I started soaking my hands in medicinal wine when I was five years old, and the bones made by soaking are thicker.

Then I hung iron knots on my fingers and embroidered them for ten years, until I finally embroidered a picture of a hundred birds facing the phoenix. The birds on the picture were all detailed and not messy. Finally, I practiced hidden weapons for another five years.

The techniques have only reached this point now. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Jia Qiang smiled, cupped her hands and said: "Aunt Sun is joking, I am still used to using my brain to solve problems. I am not used to martial arts style, so I will never mention this matter again. However, I really don't need Aunt Sun to protect me every day.

.If you have any true disciples, you can lend them to me. I don’t want them to do any dirty or dangerous work. Every time I go out, just help me catch the car."

After hearing this, Aunt Sun thought for a while and said: "There are two of them. Although they are not good at learning, they still have 60% of my craftsmanship. They are just dexterous in their hands, but their hearts are sincere. If they follow you, you should take more care of them."

.”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "This is natural! Aunt Sun and Uncle Li just wish they were born on Jufeng Island and enjoy peace and happiness."

Li Fu was depressed for a long time, and finally asked: "When will Jing'er come back?"

Hearing this, Jia Qiang narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon. However, she is going to do something private. From now on, you two elders are not allowed to talk about this matter with outsiders..."
