Chapter 760: The Sadness of Baochai
Ningfu Back Street, Xianger Hutong.
Xue's house.
In the front hall, Prince Zhongshun Li You was already very impatient.
After he received the news that Jia Qiang was taken to the palace by returning to Beijing, he kept waiting for the news that he had left the palace.
After finally receiving the news that Jia Qiang left the palace, Li You suggested that this son must go to the Buzhengfang.
As expected, Jia Qiang went straight to the Buzhengfang after leaving the palace.
Li You waited for another hour before taking the people from the clan mansion to the Xue family.
He thought Jia Qiang should come back, because as far as he knew, Lin Ruhai was on duty at Wuying Hall last night and must have a good rest today.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for more than an hour, I saw noon, but in the afternoon, there was still no one.

He was really impatient, so he sent someone to the Jia family to inform him and asked the Jia family to inform Jia Qiang to come back to see the punishment immediately.
Due to Lin Ruhai's concubine's case, Prince Zhongshun's mansion was disgraced.
This case clearly has nothing to do with Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, and they are all involved in the bitch of Prince Yimin's Mansion. However, his beloved young daughter, Princess Cheng'an, was demoted to the township lord and was disciplined by the tutor in the palace for several days before being sent home.
After I got home and cried, I fell ill in bed. The fever did not subside, and it was really terrifying and incredible to look at it.
I love to raise a child, let alone a biological daughter, even if I have a cat and a dog, I feel very distressed if I bully you so much.
Not to mention, my daughter's marriage will be affected in the future and will be shadowed for the rest of her life.
Li You believes that after all, this case is because Jia Qiang and Li Xuan planned to plot against Prince Yimin and Prince Duanzhong.
He didn't believe the arguments given by the court, it was ridiculous. Prince Yimin and Prince Duanzhong would assassinate the Supreme Emperor? Fucking a word!
Jia Qiang is like a demon, how many royal families have he harmed?
Now even two princes have been defeated, which is extremely terrifying!
Now that he has received the imperial edict, he has to beat the Xue family again in front of Jia Qiang, which is also a warning to Jia Qiang to know the duty of the king and his subjects, and Li You will naturally not let it go!
The people from the Jia family had already gone to the Buzhengfang. Li You was in the front hall of the Xue family, suppressing his anger and finally waiting.
The director of the clan’s mansion saw that Li You was impatient, so he stepped forward and said, “Prince, why not drag Xue Pan out first and wait here. Otherwise, when Jia Qiang comes back, he will have to delay for another half a day.”
After hearing this, Li You nodded and said, "Okay, let's go inside and get people!"
Jia Zheng, who came to accompany him, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this and hurriedly said, "No need for the prince to take action, why not let the ministers say that Xue Pan comes out by himself?"
Before Li You could speak, the director of the clan's office scolded: "Rareless! The prince is ordered to do his job, how can you make your own reason? Have you ever seen a criminal who went to the court to behead him without being escorted to the guillotine? The king is right now, you have a lot of family affairs!"
Li You also angrily scolded: "Get out!"
Jia Zheng was scolded with shame and could only go inside, at least blocking Aunt Xue and Baochai's doors and preventing the clan's mansion from invading...
...
In the back house, Aunt Xue was anxious like an ant on the hot pan, and was very frightened.
Originally, when he learned that Jia Qiang was back, he was taken to the palace. Aunt Xue also prayed that Jia Qiang could speak to Xue Pan in front of the emperor, so that he would avoid this.
But unexpectedly, before Jia Qiang came back, Prince Zhongshun had already brought people to prepare for the execution.
As time passed, Aunt Xue felt like a dull knife killing someone and simmering medicine, a rope was twisted around her neck, and she was about to strangle her to death little by little!
Baochai's face was also a little pale, but in just over a month, she really reduced her weight a lot.
A pair of apricot eyes, which had always had gentle and atmospheric eyes, looked so big on their thin face, but there was a little dimness in their eyes...
Seeing Aunt Xue crying constantly and folding her hands together and asking all the Buddhas all over the sky, she whispered: "Mom, don't be shocked. Brother Qiang is back and will solve this problem."
Over the past month, she has been helpless and longing for Jia Qiang to a deep level.
Xue Pan was injured and lying on the bed, and his tongue was cut off half. The screams of the medicine every day were like killing a pig, and he was in pain.
Listening to her biological brother's fate, she felt sorry for her incompetent, unrestrained, causing trouble, and was heartbroken.
After all, after her father passed away, Xue Pan was the only male member of the Xue family and her closest relative...
If he had to take another stroke, would Xue Pan be able to withstand it? It was said that he was in so much pain and he was clamoring to change the medicine later...
Therefore, all Baochai's hopes are on Jia Qiang.
She never thought that one day she would rely on a man like this and put all her hopes on him...
However, when Aunt Xue heard her words, she cried, "Silly girl, now everyone regards your brother as a burden to others. How many people have warned us orphans and widows. After all, it is not that our family has lost its use to others. The Feng brand has also become their family business. Your brother wants to be with him, but he doesn't care about him. He has the nephew of the prince, prince and queen. He is the marquis, the commander of the embroidered guard. What does the emperor feel so painful? Which tablet is your brother on? He will stubbornly expel your brother and beg for mercy? He may not come back after he comes back, but he will send your brother first...my son! Who told your father to go early? Our orphans and widows have no point of relying on us!"
Baochai's face became whiter and with tears in her big eyes, she said softly: "Mom, I won't."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crying sound. The woman in charge came in and cried in fright, "Madam, it's amazing, Madam, it's amazing! Those who were outside called in and wanted to take the uncle to behead him!"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she turned her eyes up and fainted.
Baochai hugged Aunt Xue hard, looking desolate and helpless. Listening to the noise outside, she could no longer help but cry out in fear...
Fortunately, Jia Zheng came in at this time and sighed when he saw this scene, "Look up the concubine to the kang." He said to Baochai again, "Don't panic, niece, just ask someone to take Pan'er to the front and continue waiting. Brother Qiang'er hasn't come back yet, so he will count everything when Brother Qiang comes back."
When Baochai heard this, she felt relieved, closed her eyes a little, thanked Jia Zheng, and sent Aunt Xue to the kang with the nanny, and said comforting words in Aunt Xue's ear.
After Aunt Xue woke up, before she could speak, she heard a shrill "pig cry" not far from outside the window. She rolled her eyes and fainted again...
Jia Zheng hurried out and stood at the door to prevent the people from the clan mansion from rushing in by chance...
Seeing several people carrying Xue Pan away like a pig, Jia Zheng looked extremely ugly, but he was powerless.
The winter snow falls and the cold wind is coming.
Looking at the pear tree with dead leaves in the courtyard, it was full of desolation.
Thinking about the current situation of the Jia family, Jia Zheng felt sad and couldn't help but shed two tears.
When his father Jia Daishan was alive, who dared to treat the Jia family like this?
And at this moment, a servant in green suddenly saw a man in green crawling in and shouting: "Mr. Marquis, Marquis is back from sending the message! Marquis is back from sending the message!"
Jia Zheng suddenly looked shocked and said, "Brother Qiang is back?"
Baochai looked up suddenly in the room, Aunt Xue also sat up, stretched her neck and looked outside...
I heard the servant say, "I have never come back, and I say I want to send Princess Yin home first..."
Hearing this, Baochai's eyes, which had just become bright in the room, became dim in an instant.
Aunt Xue showed signs of fainting again, and was shaking...
But then he heard the servant say, "The Marquis asked someone to tell me that even if it was the previous order, he said that he had to fight in front of him. If he didn't come back, whoever dared to touch the uncle's finger, he would return it ten times!"
Baochai's mouth raised slightly, and she did not make any mistakes after all...
...
Zhuchao Street, Feng'anfang.
On the Yin Family Xuanci Hall.
After Jia Qiang saw the ceremony, before the eldest wife of the Yin family spoke, the eldest wife Qin said, "Look at Brother Hao who was running around outside, he lost weight. Brother Qiang, why do you look more and more handsome? If this continues, how can you let the women in the world live? It's not as handsome as you, a brother!"
Jia Qiang laughed and said, "The eldest lady felt sorry for the fifth brother and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the prince and I are both lazy. I'm troubled by the fifth brother, I'll bow to him!"
After saying that, he bowed to Yin Hao on the side.
Yin Hao stood up to avoid it, and laughed and scolded: "Stop being frivolous!"
The Grandma Yin Family smiled and said, "Qiang'er asked Hao'er to do things because he had more important things. I heard from the Empress that the burden on you is not light. The Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace is looking forward to you coming back early and they are waiting for the rice to be put into the pot. Is this trip still easy?"
The second wife, Sun Shi, said strangely: "Isn't it said that it is to escort Lin Xiangye's beloved daughter back to her hometown to sweep the grave and worship? Why are there still a tolerance?"
The wife of the Yin family smiled and said bluntly: "What are you eating? Even if you only go back to your hometown to visit the grave, that's what it should be. However, if only this is the case, how could the emperor be willing to release people? He still carries important responsibilities."
Jia Qiang nodded and said, "It was because of the emperor's mission. He went to Jiangnan to sell some money-maker stocks for exchange for silver, and asked those people to use the silver to buy grain and rice... It was quite smooth."
The wife of the Yin family laughed and said, "What the imperial court needs is not a small amount? Have you done it?"
Jia Qiang didn't want to show off, but since the wife of the Yin family asked, Yin Ziyu kept looking at him again, and wanted to know what he had done in Jiangnan, so she said: "I sold a total of 20 million taels. I asked them to go to Siam, Annan and other countries to buy grain and rice to prevent the need for severe drought next year. Now the first batch of 100,000 stones is on the way, and we should be able to reach the capital by the end of the year. I didn't expect that the court might have to use a lot of food and grass, so it happened to catch up, which is considered a contribution."
There was a silence in Xuanci Hall, and 20 million taels of silver were blown away like thunder.
Even Yin Ziyu looked at Jia Qiang in surprise.
Jia Qiang explained: "It was not the silver I made out of thin air. Even if it wasn't me, I could sell it with the stocks of the House of Internal Affairs Money Bank and the name of the Empress. If I were to sell it alone, it would not be worth so much money. This is the royal money bank, so it is so valuable."
After a while, the wife of the Yin family calmed down and looked at Jia Qiang deeply, saying with concern: "Be sure to let everyone know this statement, Qiang'er, this skill is not enough!"
Where is this still a merit?
If you make a great contribution to this point, it is clearly a sin!
Moreover, from now on, whenever the imperial court is short of money, he will think of Jia Qiang first.
It is ordinary to be able to make a calculation, but it is a sin to not be able to make it.
But who can afford to fill this bottomless pit when the imperial court uses silver?
Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady, what else is there now? It's good to compare with each other's skills and demerits."
Mrs. Yin Jia Tai said in surprise: "Why is this?"
Jia Qiang said: "I was in the palace before, in front of the emperor and several great scholars, I asked, should the activities done by the third son of the emperor Li Xiao be killed or not?"
