Chapter 199 Sadness (1st update)
Taixuan Guan, Jia Zhen came up from the other courtyard crying, but her father was gone, and her mother...
“Mom~~~~, I don’t have a father anymore, wuwu~~~wuwuwu~~~~~”
Jia Zhen cried and crawled towards her mother who was collecting the broken bricks, "You can't and don't want us, wuwu~~~, don't scare your son~~~"
"Don't cry!"
Shen Ning, who had driven everyone out and cleaned up brick by brick, had her hands shaking so much.
She had been shot five times today, and her entire right arm to shoulder was numb and painful from the recoil of the musket.
Now picking up bricks and tiles...
Forget about the pain.
Everything from the joints to the muscles are screaming in pain.
But if she doesn’t do it, who will?
If you let others do it, what if you encounter the agency in that place?
There are also corpses.
Although there was a faint smell here, Shen Ning always had some hope.
There are some things that Jia Jing has never told the original person, but through various memories, she knows that there is someone beside him who has always protected him.
It's just that that person is not on the Jia family's list.
But when the prince was frightened, it was almost that person who took action.
Jia Jing asked to die here. Shen Ning didn't know if the other party had the ability to save him and stuff a body in.
She could only clean it up by herself, and if anything went wrong, she would try her best to cover it up.
Being a dung picker in Taixuan Temple and being monitored all the time is not what Jia Jing wants.
The reason why he stayed here honestly was only because of the Jia family.
It might be better for him if he could fake his death and escape...
"Your dad doesn't like people crying."
"Woo~"
Jia Zhen quickly wiped away her tears.
His father really didn't like people crying. When he beat him, the more he cried, the harder he hit him.
"He only has us..."
Shen Ning was so tired that she didn't have enough strength to speak.
"If you feel sorry for me and your father, then we can deal with it together."
"Mother~"
Jia Zhen cried again, "As long as my son comes, you can have a rest."
My father must be dead, he could smell the burning flesh.
Woohoo~
How painful it was when my father died!
Jia Zhen, who had been burned by sparks while baking on the fire, knew how painful it would be to be burned by the fire.
Although his shoulder was injured, except for the moment of the incident, he was protected in the carriage.
He has strength.
Jia Zhen forced her mother to sit down on the steps and picked up the broken bricks and tiles.
Mr. Lu and Master Zhu Si Zhu came over and walked around, smelling the smell, and looking at Shen Ning's dejected look, they both sighed slightly.
Jia Jing was so powerful back then. He followed the prince and was capable of both literary and military skills. Unexpectedly... he also followed the same path as the prince.
The two of them stepped back silently, trying to be as respectful as possible!
They interrogated everyone in the Taoist temple and investigated all the circumstances of the incident.
Forty men in black fell from the sky and killed two of them as soon as they arrived, looking for Jia Jing, but Jia Jing was nowhere to be found.
But they surrounded the Taoist temple, and they seemed to know for sure that Jia Jing was in the temple...
Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhu both suppressed their guesses.
Also subconsciously not to touch.
After all, the capital doesn't trust Jia Jing, just the few above.
Regarding his final appearance, both of them had their own speculations in their minds.
The Taoist temple is so big, and people have already died for him, so he can't expect everyone to die for him.
Survival is human instinct, Taoist people... Seeing the teachers being killed one by one, I guess mentally, I have reached the edge of collapse.
If he doesn't take the initiative to come out, someone will surrender him for the sake of his life.
Showing up proactively can save his last bit of dignity.
"I want to report back immediately about the situation here."
Zhu Si said: "Master Lu, I'm going to trouble you first. Look, what do you want me to bring to Master Dong?"
"Well, ready."
Mr. Lu raised his head and raised his hand, and the clerk who had been taking notes stepped forward.
"Please, Mr. Zhu, please give this to us."
Jia Jing is dead. Although most of the murderers have been executed, they still have to be aware of the real leader behind the scenes.
After all, colluding with Japanese pirates is a serious crime.
What's more, they killed Jia Jing, who was most valued by the prince when he was still alive.
If the prince is good, he and Jia Jing will definitely be able to get along well with each other like their elders.
Alas~
Mr. Lu looked at the Jia family's team that finally came over and sighed softly.
From the direction of the other courtyard, the sound of crying was loud.
"Grandma, grandma~~~, wuwu~, my grandfather..."
Brother Rong loves his grandmother the most.
Grandma is covered in ashes like this, picking up bricks and wood with trembling hands, his heart...
"Be good, don't cry!"
Shen Ning hugged Brother Rong who was crawling over in tears, looked at Jia Zhu and Jia Lian who were crying and wanted to come over to help, and stopped her: "Uncle, let us come here as a family, you... you go back to Beijing, go back I need to buy a better coffin in Beijing and organize the funeral..."
Looking at the place getting closer and closer, her heart was in agony.
"There's no need to make it big, your uncle... doesn't like it!"
It must not be Jia Jing!
There are many cemeteries on this mountain. Can you steal one?
She asked Jiao Da to secretly send someone to tell her about the fact that the King of Jin sent people to steal letters at home.
Jia Jing is so smart, can he make some preparations?
Definitely.
If he hadn't done it, how would he be worthy of the prince's attention all those years?
The crown prince is gone, but for the sake of his throne and the safety of his other sons, the Supreme Emperor did not even let him take the title, which shows that they all recognize his ability.
Since you have the ability, it's not difficult to fake death and escape... right?
Anyway, if Shen Ning were here, she would definitely fake her death and escape.
The sky is big and the earth is big, even if you go to the sea, it is better than picking up manure here.
Shen Ning was very sad.
Whether it is Jia Jing in the Red Mansion or Jia Jing here, they are actually poor people.
He was born in a noble family, gave up martial arts and followed literature, and became a Jinshi on his own, but he ended up wasting his time in this Taoist temple.
There are so many useless people in the Jia family, who bully men and women, take over lawsuits, play with little wives, and waste everything in comparison... But they live a good and nourishing life.
Jia Jing didn't care about anything. In fact, at that time, he was extremely frustrated with the world, right?
"Go ahead and bring more firewood. Since your uncle wants to make a splash, then let's make it clean... and make a splash."
If it’s not done, burn it again.
This world... is not worth it to Jia Jing.
Burn it clean. If there is something, we can't find it out anymore.
……
In the capital, in Shoukang Palace, someone was crying softly.
The Supreme Emperor has not woken up yet, even if he wakes up in the future...
Prince Cheng and others were much more careful in front of the emperor.
When they found out that this incident was caused by King Jin..., everyone involuntarily stayed away from him.
No matter what happens when they make trouble when their father is around, the most he can do is reprimand, ground them, and fine them.
After all, after the prince's brother died like this, as long as the throne was not involved, the old man was harsh on the surface but tolerant on the inside.
But now...
If the Supreme Emperor cannot get well, he will be the leader of the brothers.
They are ministers, no longer sons or brothers.
In the past, they, who were brothers, had no benefits for the emperor.
No, no, no, King Cheng was still thinking about what he had done to bully him. When he was a child, it could be said that he was ignorant and could turn over stories, but after he became the emperor...
It's okay if the princes don't take stock. Once they take stock, they all wish they could turn into filial sons and help the Supreme Emperor get better quickly.
The old man can't leave in such a hurry.
They all act based on the old man's eyes.
This past half a year...
In the past six months, the emperor had unknowingly become more powerful than them, without them even cooperating and giving enough face.
The old man can at least hold on for another two years, and let them set an example as courtiers in the court, so that the emperor can rest assured.
He was relieved that they were safe.
In order to look good in the history books, he would not kill his brother easily.
But now...
Everyone had a look of fear on their faces.

Even King Jin is the same.
He didn't expect that someone named Dong could sue him like that if he touched the Jia family.
what to do?
Prince Jin's mind was running rapidly, trying to think of something.
Could he strike first and kill the man named Dong?
He had wronged him, and if he did this to his father, cutting him into pieces with a thousand cuts would not be an exaggeration.
Yes, that's it.
King Jin's eyes searched for his father's favorite sword, and when he found it hanging in front of the tent, he couldn't help but want to move forward.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu rushed in, "Your Majesty!"
He gasped, "Someone colluded with the Japanese pirates and broke into Taixuan Temple. Jia Jing died."
What?
The palace suddenly became quiet.
Many people can understand killing Jia Jing.
After all, his relationship with the prince was extraordinary.
He is a capable man, so if you don’t hold him down, in case you avenge the prince in the future...
When it came to the prince's affairs, each of them added fuel to the fire.
With Jia Jing dead, they feel more relieved, but colluding with Japanese pirates...?
Is this something humans do?
Although Dazhao's powerful enemies are in the north, the Japanese pirates... we can't let them get bigger!
The previous dynasty is a clear example.
How much tax did Jiangnan receive due to Japanese pirates?
Although many of the Japanese pirates in the later period were caused by certain guys themselves, they were attacking the country.
Therefore, the previous dynasty became weaker and weaker and was invaded by foreign enemies.
How many years have they been since the founding of their country?
When they were young, the masters who taught them were also great Confucians. Who among them didn't understand what they should know?
When King Cheng looked at King Jin first, the emperor was also looking at King Jin.
King Jin: "..."
His face was extremely ugly.
Why are you looking at him?
He wanted Jia Jing to die, and he also said that if there were not enough manpower, he could find foreign aid, but...
Could it be his uncle?
"Your Majesty!"
He said in a very loud voice: "Where is this place? It is the Shoukang Palace of the Supreme Emperor. Who is Jia Jing? If you die, you will die. That man surnamed Dong made our father so angry, we as sons cannot just let it go. Right? ”
With that said, he took a few steps forward to grab the sword.
"What are you doing? Take him down!"
The emperor stopped shouting, and Dai Quan was the first to step forward and lead people to hold down King Jin.
"Prince Jin, is this where you confuse right and wrong and act arrogantly?"
The emperor watched him being pushed to the ground by the eunuchs, but did not let him be pulled out immediately.
Instead, he asked Liu An, "Did Jia Jing be killed by Japanese pirates?"
"...No!"
Liu An hurriedly shook his head, "The men in black who colluded with the Japanese pirates surrounded Taixuan Guan. Jia Jing hid first. They killed people in Taixuan Guan and forced him to show up. Then he had no choice but to show up, but he He said that he was a star in the sky, and even if he died, he would die violently, so those people tied him up and threw him into the Jia family's courtyard over there, poured oil and set him on fire."
"..."
"..."
The place was a little quiet.
The princes are all somewhat sensitive to fire.
The prince had set a fire at the beginning.
Now Jia Jing is taking the same path...
"Evil son..."
The Supreme Emperor woke up and happened to hear it.
He felt even more unspeakable pain and regret towards the 'fire'. Hearing this, he was so angry that he sat up, pointing at King Jin who was pinned to the ground, breathing heavily.
He wanted to curse, but...
His son, his face was pushed to the ground by the eunuch like this, he he...
The Supreme Emperor's throat made a 'gurgling' sound and he fell down again.
"Father! Father, father..."
Shoukang Palace suddenly became chaotic again.
The imperial doctors who had been rushed to the side hall were called over urgently.
At the same time, Jia She also arrived home.
He was in a state of embarrassment, with blood stains on his body from the murder. He was seen by many people along the way.
However, he didn't cry in front of people outside, but when he entered Ningrong Street and saw the "Ningguo Mansion" and the two big stone lions in front of the door, he couldn't help it anymore and started crying.
Big brother is gone.
From then on, no one could hold up the sky for him.
Those who followed him from afar to inquire about the situation, hearing how sadly he cried, couldn't help but guess that all the Jia family's big house was gone except for those who were at home.
Mother Jia, who was lying on the couch waiting for news, felt her heart pound when she heard her son crying like that, and she didn't feel well immediately.
Fortunately, Wang Xifeng was afraid that bad news would come and the old lady couldn't bear it. Although she didn't invite an imperial doctor, she did invite shopkeeper Chen from Huichun Hall.
Shopkeeper Chen quickly gave the woman acupuncture and brought the decoction she had brewed long ago for the old lady to drink.
"Mom, Brother Jing has gone."
Jia Min cried, "Sister-in-law asked Yue'er to come over."
Yue'er has never met her eldest brother since she was born.
But Jia Min knew that the couple had wanted to have a second child, and to what extent.
Even if the eldest brother later worried that his sister-in-law was getting older and would be in danger of giving birth, and he didn't like Xiao Yue'er, he would still be happy that his sister-in-law gave birth safely.
Otherwise, how could he hand over his private room happily.
The sister-in-law said she should take off her clothes, so he just let her do it?
Don't you want to follow her heart?
Want to coax her?
But when the child was born, he didn't see it at all.
Picking shit in Taixuan Temple every day...
"Mother, you are not in good health. Go back tomorrow. I...I will take Youshi and Yue'er over."
"Why is it gone? He is still so young!"
Jia Mu's tears fell.
Although he was not born to her, she regarded him as a son.
He is also more competitive and sensible than her two sons, if not...
Jia Mu cried so hard that she put a string of Buddhist beads she carried with her into her daughter's hand, "Yue'er is still young, give this to her."
Children are easy to get sick. In this cold weather, if something happens..., Mrs. Shen is afraid that she will follow him.
"Tell your sister-in-law that I will go tomorrow to see her. She must be fine."
Her body really couldn't bear it.
If something happens to her again, the family will be doomed.
"You have to persuade her a little, and remember Dian Yue'er and Brother Rong at least."
