night.

It's still nice during the day, and the bustling crowds come and go. Although the atmosphere is sad, there is still some popularity.

But at night, almost everyone could feel the sad and dark clouds shrouded over Rongning and the two palaces.

The mansion was so quiet that it was faintly quiet. The monk's chanting scriptures and the Taoist's casting sounds, as well as the crying sounds from some corner, which made the atmosphere in the Jia Mansion even more miserable.

Many people from the Jia clan came, sitting, standing or kneeling in front of the mourning hall, guarding the spirit while discussing the funeral.

Nowadays, among the male men of the Jia clan, the oldest, are Jia Dairu and Jia Daixiu.

However, both of them were from the Jia family. They were not very glorious and decent, so they didn’t have much say in the clan. Except for their high seniority, there were not many people who came to pay New Year’s greetings during the New Year and the Festival…

Now, the real person among the male members of the Jia family is Jia Zheng, and there is another one, Jia Jing.

If Jia Zhen is still there or Jia Rong is still there, Jia Jing may be able to calm down and pursue his great way of heaven and man.

But his legitimate son and grandson were taken away by someone. If he could continue to burn incense and chant scriptures, well, then he might really have the potential to be expected.

Unfortunately, he is just a mortal after all.

Now, among the people of the Jia family, the only one who is truly sad and heartbroken is probably this withered Jia Jing.

Although Jia Zheng was also sad, he was a Confucian scholar who believed in the destiny of heaven. He thought that the death of Jia She and others was God's will.

It’s good to be able to pass the etiquette, but there’s no need to be too sad. (In the original work, Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were almost cheated by Aunt Zhao, and Jia Zheng had this mentality.)

"Our clan has always been charitable and filial to protect the family, and our ancestors have made great contributions to the people of the country. Why did we suffer this disaster? Why did we suffer this disaster?"

Jia Jing cried and cried so hard that he was almost in a state of dying. Jia Zheng couldn't help but whisper to comfort him.

On the left, Jia Daixiu suddenly slapped the tables beside him, and with a "bang", it scared everyone.

Everyone saw Jia Daixiu roaring in anger: "Why did you come to this? You still ask why? It's because the noble and noble military army has become the clan title that is now only beautiful! If my Jia clan is still the noble and noble, the head of the family will have personal soldiers and soldiers to protect him. If the head of the family is protected by more than a dozen soldiers, how could such a tragic disaster happen?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded with a slight expression, but there were some people with subtle expressions...

Jia Daixiu pointed to Jia Jing and said, "Since the head of the family has passed away, Gong Jing was the old master, so he should take on this position again. I ask you, do you still want to give up the title?"

When Jia Jing heard this, he was silent. Although he was sad, he was so sad that he became more determined to practice and towards the Tao.

Let’s take a look. If you don’t practice the way of heaven, no matter how glorious you are in your lifetime, no matter how much you enjoy the happiness and enjoy life, you will be worse than insects once you die.

How can we compare to the great way of cultivating immortals when we are suffering from common things? Once we achieve enlightenment, we can gain great freedom and live with the heaven and earth...

After a long silence, Jia Jinglong sighed and said, "The career of the world is not my wish. We should choose good talents from the clan and give them a title."

Jia Daixiu still refused to give up and said angrily: "Since you are in the way of heaven, we naturally cannot force it. However, who should choose as the heir, you should be extremely cautious. Gong Jing should know that if you ask for something wrong, the title of Ningguo will be the lowest general. If you do it again, you will be the position of Duke. If the position of Duke will be lost, even the qualification to take the title of Duke. If that day really comes, what will we have to meet the ancestors of the Jia family? Even if you become ascendant to heaven in the future, what will we have to meet Duke Ningguo?"

These deafening words made everyone in the mourning hall so shocked that they even forgot their sadness.

Everyone says that this old man who only knows how to eat, drink, cheat money all day long is not ashamed. Is he crazy about his old family?

If you get tired of Jia Jing, you will probably not even buy the auxiliary coffin board for him when he dies in the future.

However, to everyone's surprise, Jia Jing might have been confused about Taoism and actually bowed to Jia Daixiu and asked for advice: "Uncle Xiu, why do you teach me? Why don't I know that the title of relatives and nobles is better than that of relatives and relatives. Unfortunately, my descendants are not worthy of ancestors in my later years, and now there is no grandson of martial arts in this huge Jia clan."

Jia Daixiu snorted and said, "You only know how to practice the way of heaven all day, so you naturally don't understand foreign affairs. But you don't know that since the death of Rongguo, my Jia clan has produced another good and beautiful jade that can practice martial arts."

Jia Jing was shocked when he heard this and said repeatedly: "There is such a thing? But I don't know who is it? Is it a neighboring branch of Ningguo?"

Jia Daixiu became more and more elderly, and said angrily: "I'm confused! Do you care if he is a relative of Ningguo or a relative of Rongguo? Isn't it all for my family? This person is not someone else, but the third son of Zheng Gong, and Jia Huan, a member of Yu, is it."

When Jia Jing heard this, he immediately looked at Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, Huan'er is just a villain, and not only is he a stubborn person, how can he deal with this matter? This is absolutely not allowed. I would like to ask my elder brother to find a descendant in the Ningguo branch and inherit his title."

Before Jia Jing could speak, Jia Daixiu became angry again. The old man's white hair was floating, and his messy white beard was floating. He pointed as a sword and pointed at Jia Zheng and said angrily: "Why is Zheng Gong's selfish interest here? I have heard that Zheng Gong already has a son like a treasure and jade. Do you want to take another uncensored jade? You must know that although Rong Ning is two palaces, it is actually a clan. One should prosper and one loses, and the other loses. Besides, do you have to bear to see that Jing Gong has no son and is desolate?"

Jia Jing then remembered the sad things again. He took Jia Zheng's hand and said sadly: "Brother Zheng, what Uncle Xiu said is not bad. You already have a piece of jade that carries jade, and now you have another unparalleled jade that can be followed by martial arts. God treats me so kindly! Now, now you have suffered this disaster for your brother, and you have lost your son and grandson in your later years... Wow, I would like to ask my brother Zheng to fulfill it, and it will be the decline of Ningguo."

On the side, Jia Daixiu and even Jia Dairu kept persuading him. When Jia Zheng heard this, he felt that his head was about to explode.

He was very reluctant to leave, but...

well!

Chief Jia Zheng sighed and said, "This matter requires the ancestor to nod."

When everyone heard this, they all said that they were great kindness!

...

The next day, the 14th year of Longzheng, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Early in the morning, as soon as the main gate of the Jia Mansion opened, a team of Xuanyiwei from the Black Ice Platform entered the order.

The leader was Zhong Wei, a hundred-house of the Xuanyiwei who was about to be scared by Niu Ben that day.

Today, Zhong Wei seemed particularly confident and his head was raised.

Jia Zheng personally met Zhong Wei, Jia Huan, Niu Ben, Han brothers and others standing by to accompany him.

Although Niu Ben is usually laughing and joking, he is from a public family and has been influenced by him since childhood and has a very strict family education. At critical moments, he is still very calm and capable of doing things.

The same is true for the Han brothers. Although they are serious and talk less, Han San is better, but Han Da and Han Rang can be so suffocating.

But when it comes to doing things, he is not ambiguous at all. He is brave and capable, and has the style of a general.

Yesterday, the Jia family was in chaos, thanks to their help.

"What are you doing?"

Although Jia Zheng was a Taoist master in the Ministry of Works, he never caught a cold on the part of the emperor like Xuanyiwei.

Faced with Jia Zheng's plain question, Zhong Wei was not angry. If it weren't for the inappropriate smile on his face, he would probably have smiled.

Even if he didn't laugh, his expression was still relaxed, which was completely incomparable to the dull and stressful look that Jia Huan saw yesterday.

Zhong Wei bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Jia. I came here, first, to obey the orders of thousands of households and obey the orders of Lord Shigong. Second, to bring good news to Lord Shigong."

Jia Zheng frowned slightly and said, "What good news?"

Zhong Wei straightened his waist and said, "Sir, it is good news about the murders of Mr. She Gong, General Zhen and others. Last night, Qianhu went out in person and found some clues. I think it's only a matter of time before the ability of Mr. Qianhu can solve this case."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was moved and stood up and said, "Is this true?"

Zhong Wei nodded and said, "How dare you deceive the lord with humble lord?"

Jia Zheng said anxiously: "I wonder who found out that it was done?"

Zhong Wei hesitated after hearing this, looked around, and saw that there were no outsiders, and gritted his teeth and said, "When I say that, if there is no big mistake, I want to kill the lives of Zugong and others, it was the White Lotus Sect who did it."

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan's heart that had been raised suddenly dropped, and he exhaled secretly, then frowned.

Jia Zheng also frowned and said in confusion: "Is the White Lotus Sect an evil religion in the Western Regions? Our Jia family has no grudges and grudges with them. Why do they harm my brother, son and nephew?"

Zhong Wei was also a second person and said, "Mr. Zheng, the White Lotus Sect has been restless since the Song Dynasty. No matter which dynasty or generation, they have taken rebellion as their responsibility. It is really a natural traitor. I think they also know how important the two Dukes Rongning are to our Great Qin, so they planned to be the successor of the two Dukes Rongning."

Jia Huan suddenly spoke, "How did you know that it was done by the White Lotus Demon?"

Zhong Wei looked very kind and nodded to Jia Huan, "When it comes to the third son, the reason why we can confirm that it was done by the White Lotus Sect is because we found a wood-carved white lotus near the scene of the crime. The third son may not know that the White Lotus Demon Man committed crimes in various parts of the Qin Dynasty. Every time he committed a case, he would inevitably leave such a wood-carved white lotus."

When Jia Huan heard this, he nodded calmly, but his heart gradually became sank, and there was a coldness, even his face was a little unnatural and turned pale.

Zhong Wei only said that Jia Huan was afraid, so he comforted him: "Three Young Master, please rest assured. This time, something happened to the Lord She Gong and others in the palace. The saint Long Yan was furious and even alarmed the Supreme Master in the Dragon Shou Palace. This time, our Black Ice Platform has launched with all its strength, and..." As he said, he lowered his voice and said: "The official dared to reveal a top-secret news to you. Our informant in the White Lotus Sect has now started, and the murderer who murdered Lord She Gong and others can almost lock in. This time, Chai Dadu and the four thousand households all took action. Even if the murderer is Dong Qianhai, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he is destined to be unable to escape!"

"Dong Qianhai? The world's number one Wuzong, Dong Qianhai?"

On the side, Niu Ben and the three brothers of the Han family took a breath and exclaimed in horror.
