The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 542

The transaction between Liu Xiaoqi and the special envoy of the king of Qin was successful, and the person sent by the special envoy of the king of Qin to deliver the letter also left Beijing safely. Jia Xu sent someone to secretly send a letter to the special envoys of the kings in Beijing, telling them that the king of Xining County is another spy leader of the king of Yan.Everyone knows that Feng Ziying is the leader of the secret operation, so everyone is staring at him and guarding against him; the Xining County King was originally a hidden child prepared by King Yan, and no one paid attention to everything.Now Jia Xu gave him the bottom line, and in the blink of an eye, the fine work outside the Xining Palace has increased several times compared to before.The prince of Xining immediately sensed something was wrong, ordered his subordinates to be more careful, and ordered to investigate the origins of these people.

Coincidentally, the man surnamed Sun under King Yan just rushed back to the capital, and told him everything he had heard in the corner in Chang'an.Situ Pan couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "It's useless for you to burn his letter. He's coming back to Beijing soon, and he will go to Feng Ziying and say it again in person."

Sun Daren said: "I know it, but it's just to burn those lists. There are still many real ones."

King Yan frowned: "Since they were suspicious of Jia Cong and intended to bait him, they shouldn't take it seriously." Then he called Feng Ziying and asked Master Sun to say it again.

Feng Ziying was immediately annoyed when she heard this: "Kidnapping? Is this what the surname Jin did?"

Lord Sun hurriedly said: "That man is just a little boss under the prince of Xining, he is eager to make meritorious service."

Feng Ziying said sternly to Situ Pan, "My lord, my subordinates and Jia Cong can't be regarded as forming a party."

Situ Pan waved his hand: "You were all persuaded by him, what kind of clique is it? If you want to form a clique, you are also forming a clique."

Feng Ziying sneered, and said: "The hard work is all on his own people, but he is impartial."

Situ Pan coughed: "Jia Cong is a character who doesn't suffer, so you can persuade him later. This is a misunderstanding, so don't take it to heart."

Feng Ziying said: "There are many such things, he is too lazy to care about them. It is just that he will trust the prince of Xining again from now on."

As they were talking, there was a confidant sent by the king of Xining outside to ask for an audience.Situ Pan ordered the man to come in, but he was slightly taken aback when he saw Feng Ziying.But Situ Pan didn't have the slightest intention to let others avoid him, so he had to go forward to salute, and said that suddenly there were many spies outside their house.Several people frowned.Because the scouts from Xining in Qin State were not as fast as Jia Cong, and they hadn't entered Beijing yet, the Prince of Xining still didn't know where his family had missed.

The next day, Jia Cong went back to Rongguo Mansion pretending to have just entered Beijing.As soon as he got off the horse at the gate of the mansion, he immediately ordered a boy to go to Feng Ziying's house, telling him that he was going to Feng's house for dinner tonight, and ordered several dishes.Feng Ziying knew that he was going to sue, and laughed.Then he sent someone to tell Situ Pan.

That night, Jia Cong really went to Feng's house.Feng Ziying had been waiting at home early, and told the Jia family's Third Master Cong to come to the outer study by himself.Jia Cong hopped into Feng Ziying's study outside carrying a few small items bought on the streets of Chang'an, and shouted, "Master Feng! The villain has brought a gift to Master Feng."

Feng Ziying glanced at him, coughed and said, "What a good thing, bring it up!"

Jia Cong then introduced: "This is a shadow puppet from a shadow puppet show. This is a very interesting clay whistle for children to play. This is their green tea. I left in a hurry and only brought these few things."

"What a mess." Feng Ziying looked amused, "Forget it, I know you have something to do."

Jia Cong blinked: "Did he receive the snack I gave my little nephew?"

Feng Ziying sighed: "I just received it the day before yesterday." Mr. Sun said that one more thing is worse than one less thing, so he pretended to have read Jia Cong's letter and the fake name list given by Mr. Ji; mean. "Tell me what's going on."

Jia Cong immediately realized that he had already gotten angry with the people from the Xining Department, so he said angrily: "It's the first time I have suffered such a big loss!"After questioning Mr. Ji carefully, I learned that the kidnapping incident was planned by Chen Erye.Mr. Cao and the others didn't know the specific details, but just followed Chen Erye's words to let Cao's tie Chen Ruijin.Jia Cong then ignored the part where Chen Ruijin went to the roof to check for traces, and didn't say how he was taken away. He only said that the kidnappers put sachets on them that disturbed the smell of the tracking dogs, but they didn't put them on them. Gao's dog followed the kidnapper's scent and helped him find him.Nai spread his hands and said, "Have you ever seen such a stupid kidnapper?"

Feng Ziying didn't feel it was funny, and said, "I don't do things carefully."

Jia Cong talked about that Mr. Ji again, and said: "The prince of Xining can't be picky. That man is a seed of infatuation, and he only cares about his cousin."

Feng Ziying pondered for a long time after hearing this, and asked, "Since you promised to help Mr. Ji rescue his cousin, why didn't you do it?"

"That woman refuses." Jia Cong said, "Sister Chen went to see her specially. She has children, and the prince spoils her again. Sister Chen said, since the woman refuses, it's fine. My husband didn't come to see us either, so we hurried back to the south—brother Yao'er is about to get married soon."

Feng Ziying said: "That's all. That Ji...is one of my own after all."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes and looked at him for a while, then looked around: "Could it be that the prince is eavesdropping."

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Nonsense. I have nothing against the Prince of Xining."

Jia Cong snorted and said, "Yes, yes, you have no grudges with him, but he has grudges with you. I'm jealous of you~~ I don't spend my mind on hard work, I only think about dragging my colleagues down all day long. Could it be that my colleagues tear me down? Can he go up there?"

Feng Ziying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My lord really isn't eavesdropping."

Jia Cong spread his hands: "I didn't say it to the prince. Is it okay to let someone kidnap you once and complain?"

"Okay~~" Feng Ziying said coaxing a child, "Did your aunt explain it clearly?"

"The old lady is quite reasonable." Jia Cong said, "She also said that my brother-in-law has been bored all the time in Ping'an Prefecture. He is the third child, and he has nothing to do with him." Nai took a sip of tea, " I'm here to tell you that you have to go back to the south quickly. Cousin Lin's marriage is also a big deal. Hey," he looked at Feng Ziying, "Will the prince give you a congratulatory gift?"

Feng Ziying smiled: "Already on the way." Nai thought for a moment and asked, "I know you have to go back to watch the ceremony. Will Mr. Su go?"

Jia Cong stroked his chin and said: "He has old arms and legs, so he can't catch up with the urgent road. When he arrives slowly, he will already be married. Send a gift and write an article. But his son has always wanted to pick him up. Go to Jingzhou. He is used to being in the capital, so he doesn’t want to go.” He sighed again, “Cheng’er’s marriage failed, so the old man is a bit disheartened. Next time Big Brother Su comes to pick him up, maybe he will go gone."

Feng Ziying thought: "Su Tao has done a good job in Jingzhou."

Jia Cong sighed: "The state of Chu has been divided, and Jingzhou is still under the word 'Chu', which is enough for him to work hard. But the people in the state of Chu still respect him. I am afraid that the old man is used to staying in the north and went to the south for water and soil. Not convinced. What's more, with the support of our family in Beijing, Brother Huan is usually there even when I'm not around, so Cheng'er is like a young lady. If she goes to Jingzhou, will her father just find someone to marry her... That's really not as good Marry Lan Er."

Feng Ziying's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Not bad! If they were suitable, they would have been engaged long ago. Lan'er is honest, Cheng'er is ambitious. Cheng'er is more courageous than Lan'er, Lan'er will be bullied, and Cheng'er will be unhappy. Cheng'er The girl has to pick someone who is clear-headed, knowledgeable and able to hold her back. It's a bit difficult..."

Feng Ziying said disapprovingly: "Where are there so many things! Is it over if the family is right?"

Jia Cong shook his head vigorously, and after a while he said, "It's not that easy to be right. She's still young anyway, so don't worry. Even if her father takes it, with Mr. Su around, her father wouldn't dare to give her to someone else."

"Forget it, others don't care." Feng Ziying said, "When will Huan'er and Baoyu come back?"

Jia Cong grinned: "Brother Huan and his wife have been hanging out for a long time, won't he have to come back when I go back? Lan'er is fine. Who cares about Brother Baoyu! As long as he often writes articles for his fans Buy it and let him shop for as long as you want. I don’t know where I’m going now.”

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "I don't know where he went, but he sent his wife there."

"That's an excuse for Second Sister-in-law Bao to go out for a while." Jia Cong said, "She hasn't been out of the capital since she entered the house, but Third Sister-in-law Huan has gone out to play twice. Can she feel better? Don't give me some comfort." .”

Feng Ziying said inexplicably: "There's no reason for that! Whose daughter-in-law doesn't just stay in the backyard peacefully, and your women are the only ones who have a lot of business in the world."

Jia Cong shrugged: "Our women are the only women in the world who are promising." He suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "That's right. The mastermind who kidnapped me in Chang'an, named Chen—"

"Ok?"

Jia Cong lowered his voice and said, "He said, Lord Xining has a capable subordinate, who do you think is it?"

Feng Ziying's eyes moved: "Who?"

"Jia Rong from our East Mansion!" Jia Cong patted the table and said, "I have no sense! What kind of stuff is that?"

Feng Ziying said silently for a moment: "Brother Rong has improved a bit now."

"Pull it down!" Jia Cong sneered, "Brother Zhen flirted with his wife back then, and he didn't even dare to let go. That's his own wife! The eight-carried sedan chair is married! I don't pay attention to this kind of person It can be seen that the Xining County King is not capable, and the recruits are all such people."

Feng Ziying was silent for another moment: "The smaller the person, the easier it is to use."

Jia Cong shrugged: "These villains are naturally useful when you give them benefits, but they will rebel when others give them benefits." Feng Ziying lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

Jia Cong stayed at Feng's house until the second watch before leaving.Feng Ziying didn't see him off either, but he wasn't allowed to ride a horse. "After drinking, I'd rather go back by car." As soon as he left the outer study, Mr. Sun came out of the secret room.Feng Ziying said with a half-smile, "The prince of Xining is so discerning that he bought Jia Rong?"

Master Sun said solemnly: "Master Feng, I know that you and Mr. Jia have been in close contact for many years, and I also know that the prince trusts you two the most. It's just that Mr. Jia's actions today are really suspected of forming a clique."

Feng Ziying was noncommittal: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your kind reminder. Lord Xining's subordinates have many tongues, so be careful to let others pry them open." Mr. Sun smiled wryly, and said goodbye.

Not long after, Lord Sun arrived at King Yan's mansion, and returned all the eavesdropping and peeping to King Yan today.After hearing this, Situ Pan frowned for a long time: "Now every family has placed spies outside Xining Mansion. This matter is obviously a leak. In your opinion, who did it?"

Lord Sun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can't figure it out. As Jia Cong said, most of the men he picks are villains who forget righteousness for profit. It's not sure who sold him for money."

Situ Pan said: "He himself suspects that Jia Cong is sincere in retaliating against him and shaking him off."

Sun Daren said: "The prince of Xining has a very strong prejudice against Jia Cong. If Jia Cong has such thoughts, there are many ways. Jia Rong can make good use of them. The surname Chen in Qin State is dead, and no one knows that he confessed to Jia Rong before he died. Such a character came out."

Situ Pan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that the matter is still caused by Qin State. You work hard, and then go and investigate." Master Sun bowed to accept the order.

The other Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion, called Jia Lan over to look at him for a while, and asked, "Lan'er, do you think you can handle the matter?"

Jia Lan said with a smile, "Uncle, just say what you have to say."

Jia Cong said: "Let me tell you the truth. I'm rushing back to the south, and some things are inconvenient to do when I don't have time. After I leave, you can do it for me, okay?"

"what's up?"

Jia Cong said grimly: "Jia Rong from the East Mansion is a secret agent of the imperial court. She only cares about one thing, and that is to keep an eye on our mansion."

Jia Lan shivered, "Brother Rong often comes to talk to Master."

"So I don't know what your father said to him at all." Jia Cong bared his teeth, "I don't know what he said to his boss. By the way, Feng Ziying is not his boss."

"Is it the Prince of Xining County?" Jia Lan asked.

"Huh? Even you know? Where did you know?"

Jia Lan said honestly: "A few days ago, I went to drink with my friends and heard about it from Fantou in a restaurant." Jia Cong couldn't help laughing - Jia Xu disliked that too few people knew about it.Jia Lan went on to say, "Brother Rong is at the table. Let me just say, why does he look a little strange."

Jia Cong nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our uncles have been busy for many years and have no time to teach you. At first we thought, you are honest, you have a family to protect you, and you can live in peace. Now Looking at this era again, it seems that honest people are not willing to let go. You are not Jia Baoyu, you are not made of stone. Reality forces every honest child to learn to be cunning. You not only have to learn to guard against others, but sometimes you have to learn to take the initiative Attack. Lan'er, let's practice with Jia Rong. Uncle asks you to deal with him without showing any traces. Remember, not only can people not find out that you did it, they won't even suspect you. "

Jia Lan said with a smile: "Uncle Cong, everyone in the capital knows that Uncle Xiaolan in Rongguo Mansion is honest. No one will suspect me."

"Don't take it lightly." Jia Cong warned, "Your surname is Jia, and this surname will make people not look down on you. Uncle only teaches you a little trick: try to mobilize the personality and behavior patterns of others, and make things according to your own design." To evolve. Of course, first of all, you have to understand your target person. Think about who you are going to start with."

Jia Lan held his cheeks and thought for a long time: "Since it is inconvenient to deal with him directly, let's start with Uncle Zhen."

Jia Cong tilted his head: "What else?"

Jia Lan said with a smile: "Isn't it Brother Qiang?"
