The first branch of Jia Zheng's family, who should have moved out of the Rong Mansion, had taken over the Rong Mansion. Jia Lian and the second branch of the Rong Mansion had never been on good terms.
And Jia Yuanchun was the Di daughter of the second branch of the Rong Mansion.
Thinking of this, the Emperor's impression of Jia Yuanchun became even worse.
As the ruler of a country, the most taboo thing was for someone to think about his position. Now, what Jia Zheng's first branch did to Jia Lian's first branch made him very disgusted.
After all, the news that the second branch of the Rong Mansion had occupied the Magpie's Nest for so many years had already spread.
However, no one knew that the mastermind behind all this was Grandmother Jia.
This was also why the Emperor questioned Jia Lian for being unfilial.
Similarly, the Emperor trusted Jia Lian and did not question Jia Lian in public, but instead asked Jia Lian privately.
"Just…"
"Bang…Kill all of them!”
Jia Lian was just about to echo the Emperor's words when he heard a loud bang as the closed door was violently kicked open…
Then, they saw a group of burly men holding large knives, bare-chested, bare-chested, and covered in explosive muscles barging in fiercely.
After coming in, he wanted to kill Jia Lian, Liu Wen, and the Emperor without saying a word.
The outside was already in chaos.
The guests who were drinking tea kept running out, and the plainclothes guards rushed in with knives.
In the private room, Liu Wen and the Emperor were dumbfounded.
This group of brawny men had been hired by Duke Zhenguo's estate's Niu Jizong to kill Jia Lian after spending tens of thousands of taels of silver.
However, they had never seen Jia Lian before. They only knew from the information given by Niu Jizong that Jia Lian had come to Jingshui Restaurant alone to drink tea in the private room on the second floor.
As a result, this group of Green Forest killers directly rushed in to kill Jia Lian. However, after breaking in, they found that there were actually three people here. It was impossible to tell who was Jia Lian's leader. The person knew that this was not a place to stay for long. The commotion they caused would definitely attract the yamen runners of Shuntian Prefecture and the officers and soldiers of the Jingdou camp to surround and encircle them.
Therefore, they were pressed for time and could not afford to waste even a second. Therefore, the leader of the group gave the order to kill all three people in the private room.
His order did not specify any names, so the Emperor thought that these people were here to assassinate him.
After all, he was the noblest, and there were many people in the world who wanted his position or did not want him to live.
The Emperor's eyes turned cold.
He thought that after this, he would definitely find the person behind it and directly destroy his entire family.
In a flash, the group of brawny men with sabers charged forward.
"Protector beast…"
Liu Wen's face was pale as he shouted," Protect the Emperor!" Then, he stepped forward, suppressing the fear in his heart and stood in front of the Emperor, ready to block the blade for the Emperor.
"Bang…"
At this moment, Jia Lian rushed up and kicked the leader of the group who was about to slash someone with a knife. He sent the people behind him flying and knocked them to the ground.
"There are soldiers lying in ambush outside. We've been tricked and we have to retreat.”
At this moment, a burly man holding a blood-stained saber rushed in from outside and shouted anxiously at the few burly men in the room.
After saying that, he charged back with his saber.
"What…that damn Niu Jizong actually dared to lie to us, let's hurry up and leave.”
When the leader of the thieves who was kicked away heard this, his expression changed. He endured the pain in his body and ordered to retreat.
"Where are you going…"
When Jia Lian heard the name Niu Jizong, his heart instantly became clear.
Originally, he thought that this group of people were here to assassinate the Emperor, but when Jia Lian heard Niu Jizong's name, he knew that this group of people was very likely sent by Niu Jizong.
This time, Jia Lian's killing intent burst out and he was about to chase after them…
Behind Jia Lian, the Emperor and Liu Wen, who were already shocked by Jia Lian's martial arts, immediately turned gloomy when they heard the name Niu Jizong.
At this moment, no matter what purpose Niu Jizong had for assassinating the Emperor, it was no longer important.
Because Niu Jizong had already been sentenced to death in the Emperor's heart.
Just as Jia Lian raised his foot to chase after the few burly men, they threw the big knives in their hands at Jia Lian.
Looking at the large blades flying towards him, Jia Lian subconsciously wanted to dodge. However, when he thought about the Emperor behind him, he could use the Emperor's hand to destroy Niu Jizong. Jia Lian spun and jumped, kicking one of the blades, causing the blades to collide with each other and change direction.
In the end, he hit the wall and fell to the ground. At this moment, Jia Lian wanted to chase after the assassins, but he had already jumped over the guardrail and jumped to the first floor.
"Lord Jia, don't chase after a desperate enemy.”
After seeing Jia Lian's power and seeing that Jia Lian wanted to chase after him, Liu Wen was afraid that the thief would use a trick to kill him after Jia Lian left, so he directly opened his mouth and called out to Jia Lian.
Hearing Liu Wen's words, Jia Lian stopped in his tracks…
"Sage, please atone for the assassination attempt in this subject's teahouse. Sage, please give this subject some time. This subject will arrest this group of thieves and listen to Sage's judgment.”
Jia Lian turned around and admitted his mistake without a word.
However, the deeper meaning of these words was that he had directly left her in silence.
First of all, the assassin mentioned Niu Jizong, so now it was certain that Niu Jizong had sent someone to kill the emperor. Moreover, the emperor was assassinated in the teahouse under the Rong Mansion.
Therefore, Jia Lian apologized to the Emperor and volunteered to capture the thief. The Emperor would know that this matter had nothing to do with Jia Lian and Rong Mansion.
It's not that Niu Jizong wanted to kill me, Jia Lian, but that Niu Jizong wanted to rebel and sent people to kill you, Emperor.
Therefore, Jia Lian's words were not only to clear his name, but also to divert the trouble.
"Minister Jia, you have done well in protecting the Emperor.”
When the Emperor heard this, he went forward to support Jia Lian and said to Jia Lian with emotion.
In the Emperor's opinion, if Jia Lian was not here this time, he would probably be done for as the Emperor.
She couldn't help but deepen her deep feelings for Jia Lian. No matter how she looked at Jia Lian, she felt close to him.
However, what Niu Jizong did not know was that he had sent people to kill Jia Lian, but in the end, he had even implicated his entire family and caused Jia Lian to make a huge contribution.
If Niu Jizong knew about it now, he would probably cry himself to death in the latrine.
He hated Jia Lian's good luck.
Who would have thought that the Emperor, who lived in the Imperial Palace, would come out to drink tea with Jia Lian?
Thank you, Saint."
Jia Lian looked at the Emperor and thanked him with his incomparably sincere face.
"This Niu Jizong has been deeply indebted to the Emperor for generations. He doesn't want to repay the Imperial Court and actually dares to send people to assassinate a Saint. He wants to rebel.”
Liu Wen panted twice with lingering fear, and the anger in his heart rose.
He took a step forward and begged the Emperor.
He had almost been killed just now. If he died like this, who would say that it would be of great value? However, who would complain that he had a long life? He still had a lot of good days to live. He had not been in the cabinet, and he had not enjoyed enough glory and wealth.
