This was an anti-theft badge,
The purchase ratio was less than 50%, and the anti-theft time was 24 hours.
Shuijing's sleep had always been good, but this night he had some insomnia. He simply got up and opened the window,
A gust of wind mixed with a few strands of coldness blew in, and the depression in his chest seemed to dissipate a lot.
It was said that there were no parents in the world who did not love their children,
But if there were too many children,
Their hearts would be biased,
If they really wanted to be fair,
There was almost no. There were sons and daughters,
Most of them would be biased towards their sons; there were eldest sons and youngest sons,
Most of them would be biased towards their youngest sons; and those raised by their side and those raised by others,
It was clear at a glance who was closer and who was thicker.
And Jia Xie,
Was the unlucky guy who was raised by his grandmother.
However, this favoritism was usually measured, and it would not make the hierarchy unclear and disorderly. Like Mother Jia, who could be biased to the extent of ignoring the premature death of her eldest grandson,
It was rare in the world.
Generally, this kind of person mostly had a compassionate look on the surface,
But on the inside, they were more hard-hearted than anyone else. If they liked you, they liked you. If they hated you, they hated you. They would not change their opinion of you because of what you did. It was impossible to warm a heart of stone,
It was definitely not a heart of stone that could warm a heart of stone.
Just like the retired emperor,
As long as he thought of the relationship between father and son,
Shui Lan would not have died with hatred..
Shuijing narrowed his eyes slightly,
After pondering for a while, he knocked on the window lattice.
A secret guard quietly appeared and knelt behind him.
Shuijing did not turn around and said in a low voice, "Go and find out what dirty things are done behind the scenes in Rongguo Province."
If Mother Jia and the Wang Clan's goal was the title of nobility and Rongguo Province, then Jia Xie's so-called compromise would not have much effect at all. Because as long as he and the Jia Lian did not get involved in things that would cost them their heads, then no matter how foppish and incompetent they were, they would not lose their titles. After all, it was against the etiquette and law to abolish the elder and establish the younger. Even the retired emperor did not dare to do it openly. Therefore, Jia Xie's mother and the Wang Clan would definitely dig a hole for Jia Xie and Jia Lian in the dark. A hole that would cause them to lose their titles and even their heads.
Rongguo Province was now under the control of the second household, which meant that whatever the second household did, it was in the name of Rongguo Province. If there was any serious crime that could lead to execution, once the higher-ups investigated, they would not only arrest the second family, but also Jia Xie, the head of Rongguo Province. At that time, even if Jia Xie claimed to have been wronged and said that she had nothing to do with it, no one would believe her.
The higher-ups are looking at the evidence. They don't care if you're a scapegoat. Since the evidence shows that this decapitation is related to Rongguo Province, who else should we look for if not you, the head of the family? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not taking good care of your family and your name card. They were just following the rules …
Shuijing tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, but Jia Xie had a good night's sleep.
He had not had a good night's sleep for a long time. Whether it was after Xianfang left or after Hu Ge 'er died, he could not remember.
In order to play the role of a qualified playboy, he had a woman lying on his bed almost every night. If it happened to someone else, he might laugh and scold them for having such good luck with women. But it happened to him, especially when he was not willing to find those women, no matter how the Jia Xie thought about it, he felt that he was doing the work of a male prostitute, and it was incomparably sullen.
After serving the women, he could not sleep peacefully. He was afraid that someone would suddenly burst into the room and cry loudly, "Second Master Lian is gone." If that happened, the sky that he had worked so hard to hold up would really collapse. He also did not dare to sleep too deeply, for fear that he would dream of Xianfang. The words, "Our hearts will never leave each other until death," still rang in his ears, but he had completely violated the oath. No matter what the reason was, he had betrayed Xianfang. Even in the afterlife, he would not have the face to see Xianfang again.
But it was different now. He had become a person with a backer again. He no longer had to worry about losing his life as a Jia Xie. When he and those people finished settling the matter of Xianfang and Hu Ge 'er, when the Jia Xie inherited Rongguo Province, he would go to a temple to become a monk and concentrate on cultivation. Perhaps Xianfang would forgive him then.
Shuijing did not sleep much that night. When he woke up the next day, he was depressed to find that there were two deep dark circles around his eyes. Not only did it humiliate his image, but he was also ridiculed by Wen Dongyan. Therefore, when he saw the high-spirited and energetic Jia Xie, who had lighter dark circles under his eyes, he was so angry that he directly shouted, "Why did you come out looking like this!?"
The Jia Xie was puzzled by the shout. He looked down at his clothes. They were clean and tidy. He then looked at Wen Dongyan, who was sitting next to him. He did not feel that there was any difference between his clothes and his.
Then it was not his problem.
The Jia Xie breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Shuijing probably did not sleep well last night, so he woke up in a bad mood today. He was just an innocent bystander who was implicated.
"Since you think my clothes are not good, I will change into another one," he said smoothly.
Shuijing choked. "Is that what you mean, Master?"
The Jia Xie scratched his head and said doubtfully, "Then, Master, you mean …?"
Shuijing glanced at him coldly. "Go and shave your beard first."
The Jia Xie touched his beard that was about to be cruelly murdered. He was very confused. "Why?"
"Just go when I tell you to. Why do you ask me why!?" Shuijing said angrily.
Seeing the Jia Xie leave in confusion, Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and laughed. "Master, you can't bully an honest person just because Madam ordered you not to grow a beard, right?"
Shuijing said faintly, "Don't you know that I have been thinking about shaving your beard for a long time?"
Wen Dongyan sighed. "Fortunately, I am not an honest person."
Shuijing, "…"
It was really boring to stay in Jinling for a few days. Coincidentally, there was news from Yangzhou. Shuijing and his group took a boat along the Grand Canal to Yangzhou.
The Jia Xie also pretended to be sick in bed at the old mansion in Jinling and followed them.
But one day, he saw Shuijing in a green robe, wearing a hat, and holding a fortune-telling banner. He was stunned for a long time before he said, "Master, what are you doing?"
Shuijing rolled his eyes at him, didn't say anything, and left without looking back.
The Jia Xie was a little confused and looked at Wen Dongyan.
Wen Dongyan kindly explained to him, "Master is setting up a fortune-telling stall."
"Fortune-Telling!?" The Jia Xie's eyes widened and he exclaimed. In fact, he had seen it from the beginning. It was just that he found it hard to believe that a person with such a high status like Shuijing would do such a lowly business.
"Since when did you have such a hobby?" He didn't know that Shuijing was interested in fortune-telling before. Moreover, Shuijing always believed that it was better to believe in oneself than to believe in the heavens and the earth. He despised the idea of praying to gods and Buddhas.
"Haha, since when?"
Wen Dongyan said meaningfully. He waved his goose feather fan and walked away slowly, leaving the curious Jia Xie scratching his ears and cheeks. He felt very depressed.
He didn't doubt Shuijing's investigation ability. It was just that Mama Liu was Jia Min's nanny and he had known her for more than ten years. He had a certain understanding of her character. Moreover, he had never heard that she had a son named Liu Jin. This son was even bold enough to impersonate his name and commit crimes outside.
"To be exact, it should be a godson." Wen Dongyan walked in slowly against the light outside the door. "Master, Brother Ruhai's health is not good. Why do you have to say half of it and leave Brother Ruhai feeling uneasy?"
Shuijing snorted and said lazily, "Since you don't think what I said is good, then you go and say it. I don't need to waste my breath."
Wen Dongyan smiled and turned to Lin Ruhai. He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Ruhai, long time no see."
"Brother Dongyan." Lin Ruhai stood up and cupped his hands in return. "It's been more than ten years. Brother Dongyan's style is still the same, but I'm already like a dead tree."
"Brother Ruhai, you're joking. You work hard for the sake of the country and the people, while I'm just a commoner. How can I compare to you? "
Lin Ruhai smiled wryly.
Although Wen Dongyan was a commoner, he was more important than him, a doctor of Lantai Temple and an imperial salt inspector. Back then, Wen Dongyan publicly refused to be an official in the main hall, which made the emperor emeritus very angry. Although the emperor emeritus didn't revoke Wen Dongyan's title as the top scholar, he issued a decree that he would never be accepted. He really felt sorry for Wen Dongyan. He was also very confused about why he wanted to be an official if he didn't want to be one. However, it was also thanks to Wen Dongyan's refusal that he was able to receive the emperor emeritus's vigorous training. When Wen Dongyan joined the Shuijing, the emperor emeritus seemed to be in a fit of pique and sent him and that year's second place to a high position. One had to know that every three years, there would be a top scholar, second place, and third place, but not everyone could be promoted to a high official.
Everyone, including him, sympathized with Wen Dongyan. However, at that time, no one would have thought that Wen Dongyan would become an unattainable existence for many people.
The affairs of the world were truly unpredictable!
Lin Ruhai sighed in his heart. He calmed his mind and asked, "Brother Dongyan, what's the matter with that Liu Jin? I've never heard of Mama Liu having such a godson. Could it be that someone is impersonating him? "
"Liu Jin is indeed Mama Liu's godson without a doubt. It's just that he previously lived in the capital until more than a year ago, which was after the late Madam passed away, then he came to Yangzhou. " Wen Dongyan paused for a moment, then turned to look at the Shuijing. Seeing the Shuijing nod, he then took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them to Lin Ruhai. "You'll know the specifics after you read it."
Those pieces of paper were densely packed with words. At first, Lin Ruhai's face was filled with confusion, then his face became darker and darker. His chest was heaving up and down more and more, and his body was trembling violently.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Wen Dongyan with scarlet eyes. "Is what's written on these pieces of paper true?" His voice seemed to come from hell as he gnashed his teeth.
Wen Dongyan sighed. "It's absolutely true. Their methods aren't brilliant, and they're full of loopholes. As long as you investigate carefully, you can find out? F * ck!
The paper in Lin Ruhai's hand was twisted out of shape from his grip. He pushed Wen Dongyan aside and rushed over to Jia Xie like a flash of lightning. He angrily roared, "When has our Lin family ever wronged your Jia family? You actually used such despicable means to harm us!?"
Jia Xie's ears were ringing from the roar, but he wasn't easy to bully. He immediately slapped the table and roared back, "Are you crazy! Why are you getting angry at me!? "
"See for yourself!" Lin Ruhai threw the pieces of paper at Jia Xie's face. He gritted his teeth and fiercely said, "I, Lin Ruhai, have always treated your Jia family well, but how did you treat me? Putting aside the fact that you planted people in my backyard and passed the information to Duke Xiu's Mansion and the Zhen family, you even deliberately fed me and Min 'er medicine to weaken our bodies, causing Yu' er and Mo 'er to be born with congenital deficiencies. Mo 'er was only three years old when he died! "He grabbed Jia Xie's lapel." Isn't Mo' er the grandson of your Jia family? Isn't Min 'er the daughter of your Jia family? How can you be so heartless?! "
Jia Xie finally understood what was going on. He sneered and forcefully flung Lin Ruhai away, causing him to stagger back several steps. He supported himself on the table with one hand and barely managed to steady himself.
"Are you angry? Do you hate me? Unfortunately, you've found the wrong person. The person you're looking for is in the capital! I won't take the blame for nothing. "
"Found the wrong person?" Lin Ruhai's eyes were full of disbelief. "You're the head of Rongguo Province, and these people are your servants!"
