The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 544

The ground of Chang'an City set off a violent storm.People in the world often say that King Qin is a hypocrite, and a hypocrite is better at saving his life than a real villain.After reading the list sent by the special envoy from the capital, King Qin only gritted his teeth for less than a quarter of an hour, and calmly ordered people to arrest people overnight according to the list.In the blink of an eye, the bottom of Qin State in Xining was completely wiped out, except for Wang Yuzuo who disappeared without a trace, Mr. Cao and his daughter Cao Shi escaped, and those who died when Jia Cong was in Chang'an were also removed. gone.In an instant, Mr. Cao became suspicious of his nephew, and his heart ached.Fortunately, my sister, brother-in-law, nephew and daughter-in-law are in my hands, and my nephew dare not act recklessly.The matter was urgent, and he didn't care whether his nephew leaked the secret message, so he sent his servants to rush to the capital to report the news.

The capital city is also very lively.The Ningguo Mansion's joke was shouted all over the street, and the dirty jokes were arranged so that teahouses and taverns spread it everywhere.Jia Qiang was originally a flirtatious dandy, and didn't care about those gossips; but Jia Yun's words frightened her.He and Jia Rong have been friends for many years, and he never thought that Jia Rong would treat him carefully.Now Ningrong and Rongfu are both alive under the eyes of King Yan, and they still communicate with King Shu in private, isn't it just playing with fire?What if King Yan finds out about it?Jia Qiang shuddered, and secretly made up her mind not to associate with Jia Rong and the others.What's more, the Ningguo Mansion has run out of pockets in the past few years.

Jia Rong didn't know it at all, so she still went to find Jia Qiang to make amends.He was also a little annoyed after going for three or four days to be shut down.Then he shouted at the door of Jia Qiang's house: "It's just a woman, nothing more than a cat or a dog. You actually disregarded our friendship for many years because of her, what kind of heart do you have?" Then he cursed with foul language and looked around. The excitement is not to mention how happy it is.

After hearing a "squeak", the door opened.Jia Rong hurried in.I saw Jia Qiang wearing a moon-white thin shirt, standing in the front yard desertedly, looking three points more prettier than usual.Jia Rong's darling seemed to be pinched, and she stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "My good brother, it was all my fault that day! I took a few more mouthfuls of horse urine..." But he slapped himself, " I've never been so eyeless when I was drunk, maybe someone drugged me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Qiang asked, "Are you working in detail?"

Jia Rong was stunned.Dazed for a while, with a face like gold paper, he stepped forward and grabbed Jia Qiang: "Where did you hear that?"

Jia Qiang knew him best, and immediately understood what Jia Yun said was true, and couldn't help trembling slightly: "You...are you really acting as a spy for the King of Shu?" Nai stumbled, "Confused! This is the Kingdom of Yan!"

Jia Rong quickly waved her hands and said, "It's not the king of Shu! I'm just working for the king of Yan!"

Jia Qiang looked at him suspiciously for a moment, not quite convinced: "Uncle Zhen voted for the Sixth Prince in the early years, I knew it."

Jia Rong said in a low voice: "That was the early years. After the Sixth Prince went to the Kingdom of Shu, he had less contact with our mansion, and it was not a big deal to just hang out. Don't worry, I still have my eyesight. Now I am acting for Yan The king is doing something."

Jia Qiang glanced at him: "Smart work?" Jia Rong didn't say anything.Knowing that this was her tacit consent, Jia Qiang asked again, "Are you working for Feng Ziying?" Jia Rong shook her head like a rattle and snorted.Jia Qiang asked, "Prince Xining?" Jia Rong's expression changed.Jia Qiang sighed, "That's not as good as Feng Ziying."

Jia Rong snorted and said, "Feng Ziying just relied on his father to lead the army in Dongying to win the prince's favor, and there are those in the West Mansion."

Jia Qiang knew that Jia Rong had grievances with the brothers of the Rongguo Mansion, so she said silently for a moment: "Now everyone knows that the king of Xining County is the secret leader of King Yan. This person seems unreliable."

Jia Rong was full of resentment: "No matter how unreliable you are, you are still a lord." He said in a low voice, "Besides, most of the people in the West Mansion have gone to the south. If they fling their sleeves and leave, the King of Yan will use our Ningguo Mansion to vent their anger. .”

Jia Qiang was stunned: "The Rongguo Mansion obviously follows King Yan, and everyone knows it."

"Know the face but not the heart."

Jia Qiang shook her head and persuaded: "Not everyone can do that kind of job, so it's a good life?"

Jia Rong sneered: "Live a good life? In the early years, my father took refuge in the Sixth Prince. Didn't you know when you were the King of Yan? I want to live a good life. How can I let him go. Those brothers Jia Cong are all famous all over the world, Mr. Xie They have been staying on the southern island and will not return to Beijing, and there is Prince Teng on the other side. They can turn their backs on King Yan as soon as they want, and we will not go to Caishikou for them by then."

Jia Qiang thought: "That's not true. The Rongguo Mansion has a lot of property in the capital, and they are reluctant to part with it. Besides, Jia Cong is very smart. He just wants to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Who will compare the height of King Yan's tree? Feng Ziying beat him up and protected him."

Jia Rong said: "It's best if they don't have two minds. Anyway, I don't care about anything else, I just care about the affairs of their house."

Jia Qiang glanced at him sideways: "The King of Shu, are you sure you didn't provoke me?"

Jia Rong hesitated for a moment, unwilling to coax him, and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if we have contacts occasionally."

Jia Qiang felt a "buzz" in her head.Jia Rong and Ningguo Mansion are now probably just double-sided elaboration as mentioned in the commentary, with the King of Shu at one end and the King of Yan at the other, I don't know which one is the right one.If the king of Yan is the rightful master, it’s fine; if the king of Shu is the rightful master, the king of Yan would have to copy and kill all his families if he knew it, and his family must be involved.Can't help staggering and falling.

Jia Rong hurried forward to support him; Jia Qiang shook her arm fiercely to break away from him, and said in panic, "Master Rong is good at doing business, and he will be promoted as soon as possible. I will not accompany you." She ran into the house as if flying away. , Close the door of the main room tightly, no matter how much Jia Rong shouted, he would not open it.

After a while, a servant from Jia Qiang's family came up and pushed Jia Rong out with all kinds of tongues and hands, and the door closed with a bang.Jia Rong shouted outside for a long time, but no one answered, so she had to go back.Turning on his horse and walking a few steps, he looked back at Jia Qiang's house, and suddenly had a strange feeling—the relationship between the two of them might end here.The incident was seen by the idlers who were hidden around, and when they turned around, the Hualou Restaurant was full of excitement.

A few days later, a newspaper called "Yanjing Evening News" appeared on the street.It's just a simple one, and newspaper boys are hired to sell it on the street.Apart from a few poems and articles in this newspaper, the most eye-catching one is the "Yanjing Gossip" column. The elder brother was having an affair with his younger sister-in-law and the younger brother caught him, it was very lively.Even a fool can guess who this allusion is about!The story was vivid and interesting, and the newspaper sold out in the blink of an eye.However, "Yanjing Gossip" is still serialized, saying that he wants to know what will happen next, and let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.We have to wait half a month next time!All the idlers were looking forward to it, waiting for the new newspaper to be published in half a month.

Feng Ziying also ordered someone to buy a copy of the "Yanjing Evening News" to read it carefully, and she couldn't help laughing—you can guess with your toes that Jia Cong did it.It is obvious that Jia Rong's detailed work of the Xining Department is to keep an eye on the Rongguo Mansion.Also a subordinate of King Yan, Jia Cong was inconvenient to deal with and could not suffer from being dumb.Although it's just a romantic affair, it will be lively when it gets big.Jia Rong has been completely reduced to a talking point, and she will never escape being pointed at by others in this life.

It only took less than half a day for the king of Xining County to find out that "Yanjing Evening News" was the property of Zhonghua Book Company in Rongguo Mansion, and he immediately took the physical evidence and personal evidence to sue Situ Pan.How could Situ Pan not know about Nezha's temperament?He just reprimanded Jia Cong and sent him away.The king of Xining County had just returned to the mansion, and he heard from his disciples that Uncle Xiao Rong from Ningguo Mansion had arrived and was waiting in the study outside.

King Xining nodded, walked to the outer study with his hands behind his back, and entered with a cough.Jia Rong stood up and bowed to him: "My lord, this subordinate is here to ask for his resignation."

The king of Xining raised his hand to let him sit down, and said: "This king just went to impeach Jia Cong to the prince."

Jia Rong said angrily: "Sure enough, it's his fault!"

The king of Xining County said: "This king is just pretending. His "Yanjing Evening News" was found by this king casually. It can be seen that he is not prepared to hide it from others. The prince will not take it seriously because of this. In this way, at most Feng Ziying should write a letter to reprimand him. If I don’t impeach the prince, the prince will suspect us in turn.” Nai sighed, “It’s not easy for the Qing emperor.”

Only then did Jia Rong realize that the "Yanjing Evening News" was done by Jia Cong. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to smash his newspaper office!"

The king of Xining sneered and said, "Smash his newspaper? He can choose his name, Yan, Jing, Evening News. The word 'Yanjing' has already made the prince itch. The means of flattering are not comparable to ordinary people. he."

Jia Rong hurriedly said, "Is that all?"

The king of Xining County said: "Of course not. I coaxed the prince to make him think that we have suffered from being dumb." He patted Jia Rong, "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Jia Rong was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, "Forget it, I can't compare to him at all. My lord, I don't want to do it."

"Huh?" The king of Xining took a sip of tea, looked up at him, and said kindly, "Why do you need to be discouraged? You just wait, in less than half a year, this king will definitely vent this anger for you!"

Jia Rong lowered her eyes and said, "It's not because of Uncle Cong. It's... for other reasons."

"Why?"

"I'm not in the mood to do things anymore." Jia Rong said sadly, "Brother Qiang ignored me, really ignored me."

The king of Xining County patted the case: "It's useless! But why do you care about romantic affairs?"

Jia Rong shook her head: "Brother Qiang and I have been together for so many years, and we are the most intimate. This time it is not because of his petty temper, he really wants to break up with me. I understand it in my heart."

The king of Xining County saw that he did not seem to be a fake, and said kindly: "This king is also young and has passed through the wind, and this king knows how you feel." Nai sighed, "You two are uncles and brothers after all, and the original reputation of such things not good."

Jia Rong snorted, "Our family has never had a good reputation since my grandfather. Who cares?"

"Isn't it rare for you Brother Qiang now?" Xining County Wang said, "Otherwise, he wants to share a life with you at this moment? For his own good, you can only divide it for a year or a half, and wait until the hustle and bustle outside cools down." Coax back slowly."

Jia Rong smiled wryly and said: "...I can't coax you back." Jia Qiang didn't say a word about Xiaoxuan that day, obviously she didn't care much about that woman, but what she cared about was her identity as a secret agent.After You Qi heard that his family had something to do with the King of Shu, his face immediately changed.He was terrified. "My lord, I'm not of much use anyway, why don't I ask someone else to be wise."

"Nonsense!" The Prince of Xining sank his face, "Where is this place where you are my king? Come and leave as you want?"

Jia Rong stood up anxiously before she was about to speak, when someone knocked on the door outside and shouted, "My lord! There is something urgent!"

The king of Xining motioned Jia Rong to sit down and coughed, "Come in."

I saw a person hurried in, holding a scroll in his hand.The king of Xining picked it up and looked at it, trembling all over, raised his leg and kicked over the small ebony table in front of him with a "clang" sound, and the teapot and teacup shattered to the ground.Jia Rong has a good eye, so she hurriedly resigned when she saw that it was not good, and she didn't dare to resign again.The king of Xining didn't bother to pay attention to him, he just waved his hand.This letter was written by Wang Yuzuo, who had escaped from birth.This person hid in a secret place, briefly wrote about the events of Chang'an a few days ago, and sent a messenger pigeon to Beijing with an urgent letter.Only then did the king of Xining know that someone under his command had done something wrong.

Two days later, the first messenger sent by Mr. Cao from the state of Qin arrived in the capital.According to his master's words, this person reported in detail the things surrounding Jia Cong in Chang'an City, and then talked about Mr. Ji.Naturally, Mr. Cao would not say that his daughter sincerely punished his nephew, but only said that the two of them made an appointment to meet and let the people in Prince Qin's residence know that Mrs. Cao escaped safely and Mr. Ji almost fell into the hands of the crown prince.He also said that Mr. Ji misunderstood his father and daughter and fled Chang'an City with Jia Cong's people.According to the mailing address on the letter he sent to Cao's family and Mr. Cao's subsequent visits, Mr. Ji should have parted ways with Jia Cong after leaving Chang'an.The Prince of Xining's brain hurts right now.He has met Mr. Cao, his nephew, and he knows all the details of his family in Qin. It is not for fun if he sells it to Jia Cong.

That night, the king of Xining County received important news—it was over.He placed people beside the special envoy of the King of Qin, and he was able to get some news about Qin from time to time.Because the business with Mr. Ji is really important, the special envoys of the king of Qin came out on their own, and never told half of them, not even the confidants around him.It wasn't until yesterday that I received a letter from Fei Ge from Qin Guolai, knowing that all the fine work has been taken down, I was relieved.In the evening, Gao Xing drank two more cups of wine, and leaked to the people who served him: "All the secret work that King Yan planted in our Qin country, I have dug up all the secrets of your master hahahaha..." He didn't know those people Whether it is from the Xining family or the Feng family, it is from Yan State anyway.The people below hurriedly complimented him a few words, and he himself said, "This idea is not worth the money!" Afterwards, the secret agent added a few more words, and learned that an important secret leader had sold all his subordinates to the King of Qin special envoy.

The chief of the secret operations that matters is naturally surnamed Ji.The king of Xining County secretly kept a little bit of luck in his heart, hoping Mr. Cao's conjecture was true, and his nephew never took refuge in Jia Cong.Turn it back and think about it again: no matter how much Jia Cong knows, I am no longer at odds with him.In the past, it was easier for him to be in the dark while he was in the open; although now both of them are in the open, he still has more advantages - Rongguo Mansion has too many things in the capital, and Jia Cong can't afford to mess around.

He sneered: "No one knows how to lie to others. If you want to make a fuss, it's better to make a big fuss."
