The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 541

The King of Qin sent two thousand soldiers and horses to chase after more than twenty people, but they were defeated. He was so angry that he smashed everything that could be smashed in front of him.He has always been a face-saving person, the most important thing is fame, and he often dangles in front of people in half-worn clothes.Wouldn't it make the world laugh out loud when he did such absurd things now?The left and right did not dare to go forward when they saw each other, but the old man next to him, after waiting for him to get angry, stepped forward cautiously and said in a low voice: "My lord, don't worry, this old slave thinks that the matter is not so difficult. .”

"Huh?" King Qin glanced at him.

Hua Gong said: "I have heard that Jia Cong is not a troublemaker. In the early years in Beijing, his cousin Jia Baoyu let a witch named Ma Daopo do the five ghosts to harm him. He said a few words in a hurry. In terms of identity. Later, no matter who asked him, he would not admit it.”

The King of Qin thought for a while and said: "I have already investigated the matter clearly. Jia Zheng said it himself. Jia Cong had just returned from the outside that day, and he knew what was going on and who it was after hearing a few words from a maidservant." for."

Hua Gong said: "Look, my lord, he just doesn't admit it! It can be seen that he is not willing to cast spells for others to see, every time he has no choice but to do so. The old slave feels that he will not speak out this time either. Will it..." He lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that the Jade Emperor forbids people who practiced in the lower realms to use spells? If some mountain god, Lord Earth Stove, finds out, and the heavens give it to the Jade Emperor, he will have to practice for another life? So he Do you dare to let people know about the occasional spellcasting, for fear of leaking the news?"

"Hiss..." King Qin couldn't help thinking with his hands behind his back.

Eunuch Hua took advantage of the situation and said: "He said in his mouth, 'It's a big deal to practice for ten more lives. It's not that he hasn't practiced before.' These words are clearly filled with resentment. If he is really asked to practice for ten more lives, there may be many complaints. It is known that he is also I don’t want to violate the rules of heaven.”

"Hmm..." King Qin repeatedly chewed on General He's words about Jia Cong's pretense on a hot air balloon several times, and said to himself, "It makes sense. Taoism is doing good to help the world, but his temperament Can't bear to kill."

"What's more, if you are punished to practice in the lower realm, it is like a sinner committing a crime while serving a criminal service. If you fail to keep the crime, the crime will be added." Huagong said, "I can't bear to violate the precepts, so naturally I don't want to know about it. Therefore, he has never been publicized. He said it was a rumor when he mentioned it. He will never tell about that matter. As long as he doesn't say it, and we don't say it, who else will know?"

After hearing this, the King of Qin nodded repeatedly: "That's right. No one will know if the two sides don't say anything." But he immediately sent an order that everyone who knew about this matter should keep their mouths shut and not reveal a word.After a while, he said worriedly, "He really won't say it?"

Hua Gong said: "My lord thought about that sentence carefully. 'It's a big deal to practice for ten lives, and it's not that I haven't practiced it before.' The old slave was suspicious. He was punished for ten lives of practice for committing murder. This is the last of the ten lives. Therefore, he became more cautious and did not dare to act rashly. If he hadn't been forced this time, he might not be able to cast spells." King Qin's face turned green—he was also afraid of offending the gods.Eunuch Hua hurriedly said, "He practices his Taoism, and you are your lord. The road faces the sky and the well water does not interfere with the river. It's just a misunderstanding. The lord sent someone to explain it clearly."

The King of Qin hurriedly said: "Gu will send people to Beijing."

Eunuch Hua bowed his waist and said: "My lord, this old slave thinks that Qin's affairs are over for Qin, so my lord should explain it to the Gao family."

"Huh?!" King Qin's face darkened again.

Eunuch Hua whispered: "The capital is the territory of King Yan after all, no matter how the Gao family is also in Qin State. For his aunt Jia Taijun, Jia Cong must have an idea? Since he came from above, if it wasn't for Zuo Shi , it’s just for practice. The worldly theory says that you should just do nothing, but he has been helping King Yan, maybe it’s because the Rongguo Mansion is in the capital. He has to take care of his family, right?”

King Qin's eyes moved.That's right, if the Gao family is driven to Ping'an Prefecture, Jia Cong will be unscrupulous.It is also beneficial for the Gao family to stay in Qin.Besides, it's hard to say whether Ding Chu has other thoughts, but there must be some private thoughts.Keeping the Gao family is like Ding Chu has a shortcoming in his own hands, and it is not a bad thing to drive him to worry and work honestly.Thinking of this, he twirled his beard and said, "The Gao family...don't worry about them."

Eunuch Hua bowed down sincerely and said: "Your Highness is wise, and this old slave respects you." The King of Qin listened quite sympathetically.

But he sent someone he could trust to interrogate the monk named Jingde.The monk confessed that he knew that Jia Cong had a history, and all the kings valued him. I am afraid that he would promote Taoism and depreciate Buddhism like Qiu Chuji in the Yuan Dynasty.So I wanted to take this opportunity to kill him.Qin Wang was dubious and thought for a long time with the confession.He looked up and saw Mr. Hua coming up to exchange tea, so he asked, "What do you think?"

Mr. Hua said fairly: "Look at this old slave, this monk is telling the truth. Jia Cong has been in Chang'an for a while. If he is so quiet, why wait until everyone else has left before thinking about chasing and killing him? It's not too early Do you want to do it? These monks and Taoists all have ideas, I am afraid that Jia Cong noticed something different when he left the city, and deduced that it was because of him, so he had evil thoughts."

King Qin said: "Didn't Jia Cong be kidnapped? It is said that Hao Xuan lost his life."

Eunuch Hua laughed and said: "The prince suspects that Jing De did it? Old slave, Jing De clearly wants his life. He has been kidnapped for so long, if he falls into the hands of someone who wants him to die, how can he be killed?" Can you escape? People have to die in that hut."

Qin Wang couldn't help nodding: "It makes sense." He frowned and said, "Since this quiet monk is a member of the Buddhist family, could it be that the lonely king can't touch him?"

Eunuch Hua said in a low voice: "Would the Buddha really accept such a monk? The Buddhists are serious about compassion. Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. They don't even eat meat."

The king of Qin immediately said: "That's right! This monk committed crimes under the banner of the Buddha, and he violated the great precept of Buddhism!" He was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and he wanted to kill the monk to vent his anger; he was afraid that the Buddha would retaliate .After hearing this, he made up his mind and immediately ordered the monk to be rectified on the spot.

The monarch's words are as fast as the wind.When Mr. Cao and others found out, the monk was so quiet that his head had already fallen to the ground.The King of Qin asked someone to give some things to Jia Taijun of the Gao family, and sent Huagong and his father-in-law to appease and explain.Mr. Hua was very good at words, and when he came back, he smiled and replied to the King of Qin: "Fortunately, the old slave has fulfilled his mission!" The King of Qin was overjoyed and rewarded him heavily.

It was so quiet that Wang Wuzuo couldn't sit still as soon as the monk died.As he got older, he cherished his life more and more, pushing everything to the bad.He thought, now that Mr. Ji is the only one who has made a fool of Jia Cong, the people of this department are afraid that there are many dangers, so if they don't leave now, when will they wait?Coincidentally, a murder case occurred in the outskirts of the city two days later, and he and his young apprentice went to the autopsy together.After checking, Wang Yuzuo, carrying a small burden on his back, only said to find something and never came back.The little apprentice didn't see the master coming back when he waited left, and no one was there when he waited right. He was shocked and sent everyone to look for it.I searched all around, and I didn't even find a human hair made by Wang Yu.

On the other side, Jia Cong and others took the military camp documents given by the Gao family and walked eight hundred miles on the express road, all the way to the outside of the capital like lightning.Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin discussed briefly, and first divided into two ways.Jia Cong led the rest of the troops to a house on the outskirts of the city to rest temporarily.It was built by Prince Xianyizhong, and there is a tunnel that passes through the moat and leads directly into the city. Jia She bought it for Jia Cong in the early years.Chen Ruijin took Mr. Ji into the city to find Jia Xu.

That day when Jia Xu received the letter from Feige from Chang'an, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he was very grateful for the codes that his nephew and son-in-law worked hard to figure out.Fortunately, he has a large group of internal guards under his command, and there is no shortage of manpower, so he ordered people to watch Xining Palace day and night.The prince of Xining never dreamed that Jia's family would have such a number of people, it was impossible to guard against, and he got a lot of information in just a few days.

Jia Xu also guessed that they would go to Beijing quickly, so he stayed at Xiaohuazhixiang's house and waited.Chen Ruijin led the surrendered Mr. Ji to the door, and Jia Xu and Liu Xiaoqi happened to be there.Chen Ruijin first introduced Mr. Ji, then pointed to the two of them and said, "These two are the Fifth Master and the Seventh Master." Mr. Ji didn't dare to ask more questions, but told him what he knew from the beginning, and Jia Xu questioned him again. him for a long time.

For Jia Xu, the most important thing is the argot of the Xining family and their spies in Qin.Holding the list of lingoes and looking at it for a long time, he smiled and said to Chen Ruijin, "They can't guess our determination."

Chen Ruijin laughed and said: "It's not the credit of you two! Everyone seems to be happy."

Jia Xu said: "Mr. Lao Ji will stay with us for a few days. I will prepare some introductions for your household registration with you, and then arrange someone to take you to Dongying Yanzu by boat from Tianjin Port." Mr. Ji bowed and thanked.

Chen Ruijin drank a cup of tea and thought to himself: "We have been in a hurry this time, and we still haven't figured out what happened to Ding Chu. I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Jia Xu said, "Since that's the case, I'll send someone strong to investigate him." Chen Ruijin nodded.Jia Xu ordered Liu Xiaoqi to say, "Take the list and try to sell it to the special envoy of King Qin. The sooner the better."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "This is easy." He took the order and left.

After coming out of Xiaohuazhi Lane, Liu Xiaoqi patted on the horse and went straight to Qin Wang's special envoy's mansion to deliver the post.The special envoy of King Qin was shocked when he heard the report.Yin Qiye of Falcon Bookstore has always sat on the Diaoyutai and waited for someone to take the bait. How have you ever heard of him going out to visit?Can't help thinking for a long time, finally ordered someone to invite him in.

Not long after, Liu Xiaoqi came in, and bowed to him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Special Envoy."

The special envoy stood up with a smile and replied: "That gust of wind brought Yin Qiye here?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "To be honest, I'm here to sell."

"Oh?" The envoy twisted his beard and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Master Special Envoy must have heard that our bureau is only for business. For business, we can produce and sell our own products, or we can buy goods to sell, or we can find buyers to buy and then find sellers. Sell."

The special envoy said: "The old man is confused."

Liu Xiaoqi looked around for a few moments and asked, "Is it convenient for the Special Envoy to speak here?"

The special envoy said with a smile: "I heard that Yin Qiye is here, the old man has arranged for someone to guard outside."

Liu Xiaoqi nodded, and said: "Our bureau has a big client, who was in Chang, An, and on business a few days ago." Qin Wang's special envoy suddenly stopped breathing.Liu Xiaoqi paused, and said slowly, "I don't know what happened by coincidence. Anyway, I found a source for us. Those goods are definitely good—" the envoy's eyes widened unknowingly. stare at him.He said slowly again, "The one with the source of goods is not willing to sell to us directly, but only entrusts us to be middlemen. And his goods are not convenient to sell to other people except King Qin."

The special envoy took a few deep breaths and asked, "Dare to ask, what kind of goods is he selling?"

Liu Xiaoqi picked up the teacup and took a sip, said: "He was originally the secret leader of the other family in Qin, and he was considered the second in command. Because he and the big boss had turned against each other for some reason, we entrusted our big client to help him escape Qin State. It’s a pity that I am alone and have no food and clothing. The capital is a world of flowers and flowers, the wine and meat of rich families are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death.”

The special envoy suddenly understood, and hoarsely said: "He wants to betray his master?"

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Isn't he following his master just for money?" He leaned forward and said, "Master Special Envoy, money can make Mo Tui ghosts."

The special envoy clapped the case: "It's easy to say! But is that stuff real?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "When did our S.H.I.E.L.D. sell fake products? Even if they are not our products, they will be checked clearly after passing through our hands. Please rest assured, the small shop is fair, and we will not slap your two heads in vain. "

The special envoy narrowed his eyes: "Why did Lord Qi want to slap the heads of the two families?"

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and frowned: "My lord, there are a lot of guys in the shop, and they also have to eat, dress and marry their wives."

The special envoy of the State of Qin laughed loudly: "It's easy to say!"

Liu Xiaoqi raised the teacup and said, "This business is a win-win situation. The news about being the second boss can only be sold to Qin Guo, but never to his former boss, isn't it? Qin Guo can't buy it? If there is no God As the Shield Bureau is a middleman, it will take a lot of effort for Qin to verify the authenticity of the detailed news."

The special envoy nodded again and again: "What Qi Ye said, this old businessman did it. I just don't know who is that big client?"

"My lord, that has nothing to do with the state of Qin, why bother to inquire so clearly?" Liu Xiaoqi smiled, still holding the teacup in his hand, "If such an important person has escaped, maybe there will be some changes in Chang'an. ?”

The special envoy also smiled and raised the teacup, and the two drank tea instead of wine in one gulp.

Liu Xiaoqi sold almost all of the fine works of the Xining department that Mr. Ji explained to the special envoy of the King of Qin, except for his uncle Mr. Cao and the Cao family.Mr. Cao hides deeply, never comes out to contact people in person, and most of them order his subordinates to go out to do things.Chen Ruijin met Cao Shi twice when she was in Chang'an, and the second time was when she took the initiative to go to the Prince's Mansion.Feng Ziying is also short of manpower in Chang'an, so he must know about this.If the state of Qin purged the secret works of the state of Yan in the Xining family, including the Cao family, some people might think of it as Rongguo's mansion.Chen Ruijin had met Cao Shi, and knew that this woman was not loyal to King Yan or Prince Xining, but just obeyed her father's order.

The king of Qin sent out the list of detailed works, and saw that there were so many people doing everything, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.Immediately copied several copies, and ordered several confidantes to take different routes to quickly send them back to Chang'an, and hand them over to the King of Qin.But Mr. Cao was coaxed by his nephew's letter, he hesitated for a few days before writing a secret letter and sending it to the capital, the messenger had just left the gate of Chang'an.Right now, the prince of Xining is still ignorant of the traitor, so the special envoy of the king of Qin rushed to Chang'an from the main road and the small road without incident.

However, Jia Cong in the suburbs got a letter from Feige sent by Gao's family. Wang Wuzuo was missing, so he was so frightened that he begged Chen Ruijin to draw more than ten portraits of Wang Wuzuo and send them to Jia Xu.
