The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 536

It is said that Mr. Ji came to find Jia Cong, and wanted to pack up and sell his friends in exchange for his ex-fiancee Cao Shi; Jia Cong agreed to do this business.Two days later, Mr. Ji handed over the first half of the batch, and after Jia Cong and the others rescued Mrs. Cao and the little princess, he would give the second half batch. He specially picked a water pavilion in the back garden of a dark kiln to meet.

Mr. Ji came alone. Seeing Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin coming, he smiled and cupped his hands: "I heard that Mr. Jia never likes to discuss important matters in the secret room."

Jia Cong said: "Well, the secret room feels aggrieved and boring, I don't like it."

Mr. Ji glanced at him: "The walls of secret rooms have ears."

Jia Cong said: "It's not necessarily that there are no ears in the open space, the ears are so powerful that there are so many people. Have you brought the goods?"

Mr. Ji took out a roll of bills from his pocket and handed it to him.Jia Cong said "thank you" and handed it over to Chen Ruijin.Chen Ruijin said softly, "Should we check it out?"

Jia Cong turned his head and glanced at her: "Why are you nuking him? We are not experts either."

Mr. Ji wondered, "Does Mr. Jia trust Wansheng so much?"

"No." Jia Cong said, "The art of meticulous work is profound and profound, and it's not something I, a layman, can understand. Send it to Brother Feng."

Mr. Ji was shocked: "Master Feng is Mr. Jia's man?!"

Jia Cong said inexplicably: "Are you lame? Brother Feng is my elder brother. He is an expert and I am an outsider. I can't see anything with this thing. Why don't you let him know. My colleagues are enemies. What about that?" The Prince of Xining will dig a hole for him sooner or later." Nai sighed, "Dai Li and Chen Lifu are not so easy to be."

Mr. Ji became more and more curious: "Let Feng Ziying leave the bottom line? What does Mr. Jia mean?"

Jia Cong also became more and more surprised: "You can't understand people's words! I am an amateur, and Brother Feng is an expert. Who doesn't know our friendship? If he is cheated, what good fruit do I have? The prince of Xining Isn't it to deal with me to deal with him?"

Mr. Ji was a little anxious: "But Mr. Feng is a member of King Yan!"

"What's wrong?" Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I am also a member of King Yan—we can't be regarded as a party. Even if we say that we don't form a party, someone must believe it—"

Mr. Ji blurted out, "Mr. Jia, isn't he trying to stand on his own?"

"Where did you come to judge that I want to be self-reliant?" Jia Cong said with the corners of his mouth pulled, "I have to be self-reliant to be a king, do you think I have it?"

Chen Ruijin smiled beside him: "No. The elders are more generous."

"Pull it down!" Jia Cong snorted, "His demeanor is called a bandit, which is different from the demeanor of a king."

Chen Ruijin looked at him with a smile: "That's your old man."

"That's why I didn't talk about the bearing of soldiers and bandits. Bandits are more domineering than soldiers and bandits."

Mr. Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Jia is being polite. The poem that Mr. Jia wrote for the old lady of the Gao family in Chang'an in the early years is very regal."

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? Poetry?" Scratching his head, "I don't remember anything."

Mr. Ji shook his head lightly, then thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Jia suspects someone is eavesdropping?"

Jia Cong looked around after hearing the words, and asked Chen Ruijin in a low voice, "Is there anyone on the tree?"

Chen Ruijin said: "No, not even on the top of the pavilion."

Mr. Ji laughed and said, "Since that's the case, why is Mr. Jia pretending?"

Jia Cong glanced at him: "What do you mean?"

Mr. Ji said: "Didn't Mr. Jia admit last time that he wants to be self-reliant?"

"Have you experienced auditory hallucinations? Last time we didn't mention this topic at all, it was just for business. You give me the detailed list of the king of Xining County in Qin, and I will help you steal the woman you like from the prince of Qin. , and then you go away and live abroad. Let me tell you, Dongying is good there, and it is developing very fast. Bring some money there, you have talents and learning, and it is not difficult to live a good life.”

Mr. Ji couldn't help but laugh: "Could it be that Wan Sheng heard it wrong? Didn't Mr. Jia make it clear that you want to investigate the spies of Yan State in Qin State?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Ji, do you still remember our original words? You asked me if I wanted to investigate the spies of Yan Kingdom, and I said to correct it, I only need to investigate the spies of the King of Xining, because he specifically targeted me. .If you think about it carefully, is that what we said?"

Mr. Ji thought for a while: "That's exactly what I said."

"I don't know him at all, but in the early years, I met him twice in the scene of drinking and singing, and he actually stared at me to find out! This matter was the last time your people kidnapped me and accidentally said it was a slip of the tongue , I just found out. If it’s not because of Feng Ziying, does he believe it?” Nai “cut” and said, “He was the one who troubled us first, so why don’t we fight back? We are not the Holy Father and the Holy Mother.”

Mr. Ji was silent for a moment, and asked, "Does Mr. Jia want to be independent?"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "The kidnappers in your family asked me this question many times, and every time I told them that I like to sleep late and have no intention of sitting on the dragon chair. I'm surprised, which eye of you can see that I want to stand on my own?"

Mr. Ji choked for a moment: "Mr. Jia wears a very good musket. Even better than King Yan's."

Jia Cong said: "You said 'excellent' because it is small? Who told you that small is good? Besides, Red Bone Kee told me clearly that this is a test product, and it might explode. Since it is a test If it is not mass-produced, it cannot be mass-produced; if it cannot be mass-produced, of course it cannot be sold to the army. Even if the princes want to buy it, they will not sell it. If the prince is killed, they will not only lose money but also solve the problem. Mr. Ji doesn’t understand anything Just don't guess."

"Mr. Jia isn't afraid of bombing?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm very lucky." I have to trust tungsten steel, can't I?

Mr. Ji muttered in a low voice: "Sure enough, a few words can clear it up." He sighed again, "I understand. Mr. Jia is saying, 'If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself'."

Jia Cong gave him a sideways look: "Stubbornness is a disease, and it can be cured!"

Mr. Ji smiled wryly: "Forget it, Wan Sheng still wants to join Mr. Jia as an assistant in the future."

Jia Cong sized him up and said, "You are such a master who betrayed a group of partners for a woman. If you know the details, probably no one would dare to use it." Mr. Ji's face changed, and before he could speak, Jia Cong patted him again. His shoulder, "However, I agree with you. A man is born in heaven and earth, why are he still alive if he can't even keep the woman he likes?"

Chen Ruijin said from the side: "I just don't know if he is willing to go with him."

"Whatever, let's get it out first." He stood up and dusted off his clothes, "Mr. Ji, see you later." He turned around and left.

Mr. Ji froze in place for half a day, then got up and walked through the corridor.When I arrived at a small courtyard, I saw two people coming out of it with gray faces.Both of them have square faces with Chinese characters and three beards, and they are both fat and thin at the same age.Nai stepped forward and saluted: "Master Sun, uncle."

Then Master Sun looked at his uncle and nephew: "You said that I was rushed here just because of this? Do you want to read Feng Ziying and Jia Cong's book and say that they are forming a party for personal gain?"

Accompanying Master Sun was Mr. Ji's uncle, Mr. Cao, who smiled wryly, "I never thought that Jia Cong would be so cunning that he would refuse to tell the truth."

Mr. Sun sneered and said: "What Jia Cong said is very true. You were the ones to strike first, so why are you still not allowed to fight back? Your family has kidnapped, and there is nothing to say if you bring the prince to him. Who is Jia Cong? Master who doesn’t want to suffer. He’s willing to just get the list and hand it over to Feng Ziying in secret.”

Mr. Cao let out a long sigh and shook his head for a long time: "...it's hard to say."

On the other end, Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin went out to wait for someone to lead the horse at the gate of the flower building. Chen Ruijin said in a low voice: "I didn't see where someone was hiding, and it was a waste of energy to sing a play."

Jia Cong said: "Anyway, the surname Ji said that the little princess is his daughter, which is obviously false. Let's not talk about the Eunuch Zhang next to Princess Qin? His appearance is quite similar to that of the prince. As long as there is such a thing as sticking to the door and surrendering One sentence is a lie, and it may not be all lies. By the way, what about this list."

"For Feng Ziying." Chen Ruijin said, "There won't be much truth in it, and even if there is, it won't be an important person."

Jia Cong turned his head, smiled, and asked, "Can you tell if someone is watching us?"

"Yes, I have."

Jia Cong winked: "Don't go back to Gao's house yet." Nai got on his horse and said, "Go to the post office."

The two of them searched for the nearest post office together, took the photo of Rongguo Mansion, went inside to find a quiet room and sat down.Jia Cong ordered the servants sent by the Gao family to buy some small Chang'an snacks that could be stored, and asked for the Four Treasures of the Study to start writing letters.Chen Ruijin opened the things given by Mr. Ji and took a look—it was so tight that it was all the directory, so he copied it down casually.Not long after they finished writing, Jia Cong put the letter and the original form given by Mr. Ji into an envelope, wrapped the letter and snacks into a package, and went to the front desk to fill out the form.While he was filling out the form, someone was filling out the form next to him.The man glanced at the address on Jia Cong's list—it was Feng Ziying's home, and the recipient was Feng Ziying's youngest son.Suddenly Jia Cong saw that his parcel had been carefully placed on the counter by the post office staff, with a note "Handle with care" posted on it, and he was satisfied, and said to Chen Ruijin, "Let's go shopping!" The two of them went out for a stroll. up.

It didn't take long for Jia Cong's package to land in front of Mr. Sun and Mr. Cao.Mr. Sun opened the letter and read it himself, he couldn't laugh or cry.The gist of Jia Cong's letter was, Brother Feng, that Prince of Xining is jealous of you, your brother and me!This is the list of his subordinates, I don't know if it is true or not, anyway, you are on guard against his ideas.He also filed a serious complaint, saying that he was kidnapped, and he was kidnapped in the latrine, which smelled very bad.Thanks to the kidnapper's strong smell and Gao's family raising a tracking dog, Fang was rescued.Well, that... I killed everyone who participated in my kidnapping to vent my anger.Such a detailed description one by one is like commenting.

Master Sun put the letter in front of Mr. Cao: "What else can Mr. Cao say?"

Mr. Cao pondered: "I don't believe it. How could he send away the list just after he got it? Could it be a disguise for us to see?"

Mr. Sun snorted, "I don't know if Mr. Cao is not in the capital. Jia Cong is a slippery urinator, and he finds it troublesome the most, so he will dodge away when things happen." Nai glanced at him, "Don't be silly anymore. Guess."

Mr. Cao smiled wryly, and murmured, "He concealed it so well."

Master Sun sighed, and said in a low voice, "I shouldn't have told you about this matter. Without his help, the lord would not have come today." After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Back then, Jia Cong occasionally got a lot of weapons. There are so many, so many, so many." He even said three too many, which made Mr. Cao's eyes widen in shock.Master Sun continued, "Those things were originally hidden by Prince Xianyizhong. If Jia Cong has the heart to stand on his own, he can hide them without telling anyone, and use them to raise bandits, water bandits and pirates."

Mr. Cao looked at Mr. Sun, and tentatively said: "Those weapons...he...dedicated to the prince?"

Lord Sun nodded: "Back then, the prince had money and someone, but he only lacked weapons. Without those, many things would be impossible to do. I'm afraid the Supreme Emperor is still in power at this moment. I don't know if the prince is dead or alive. He casually took out a Lingnan match from his pocket and lit the candle on the shelf, and burned Jia Cong's letter to Feng Ziying and Mr. Ji's list of names close to the flame, and burned them completely. "After I return to Beijing, I will go to see Feng Ziying and make it clear to him. We are all my own people, so why bother to act like a black-eyed chicken. I wish you could eat me and I eat you."

Mr. Cao was silent for a long time, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.Master Sun patted him on the shoulder and went out.Mr. Cao looked at Mr. Ji and said, "Do you think Jia Cong really wants to be independent?"

Mr. Ji said: "This man is cunning, we can't get evidence. My nephew dare say, he is determined to be self-reliant. Uncle, ambition may not be born with him. Even if he gave weapons to the prince before, maybe that At that time, he really wanted to follow the prince. In the past few years, his reputation and ability have grown, and his mind has changed."

Mr. Cao sighed: "It's just that there is no evidence. How can he not leak even a crack?" Nai frowned.

But at this moment, someone came in to answer, and Chen Ruijin sent a note to Shi Zifei.It is said that the tea that the same concubine Cao ate last time is excellent, and Cao is also an interesting person.I am about to leave Chang'an, and I want to have tea and chat with her again.The concubine Shizi didn't have much idea, she was invited to go with all the girls of the Gao family that day because she was instigated by a nun next to her.Seeing the note, he smiled and said, "If you want to see her, why do you ask me?" He agreed.

In the afternoon of this day, Chen Ruijin went to Shizi Mansion alone with a smile.Seeing the concubine Shizi say some polite words first, she went to sit where she had tea with Mrs. Cao that day.Listening to the rain hall is the same, the lotus is the same, the waterfowl is the same, the time is the same, even the tea stove and the little girl are the same.Cao said with a wry smile, "I don't want Miss Chen to come to see me."

Chen Ruijin said bluntly: "Has your cousin contacted you? He wants to entrust us to save you from Shizifu."

Mrs. Cao was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "Please tell me the truth, can he and my father still survive?"

Chen Ruijin said: "I don't know. The King of Qin can't trust them anyway. He has already started to investigate. It's hard to say whether he can find out."

Cao's eyes were red: "I just hope that my poor child will not be involved." Chen Ruijin remained silent.After a while, Mrs. Cao shook her head again, "Even if she lost her life, what would happen if she fell into the hands of another woman?"

"Do you want to run away with Mr. Ji?"

Mrs. Cao shook her head: "Your Majesty loves me very much. I only raised one daughter, and I listened to the concubine's words, so people rarely look for me." She stopped talking for a while, and finally said, "I see, the Majesty is more beautiful than you." Cousin is much stronger."

"So you don't want to leave." Chen Ruijin looked at her with his chin in his hand, "Do you want to do business with me?"
