The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 549

After getting out of Dai Xian's outer house and getting into the carriage, Jia Cong aimed his eyes at Wu Xiaoxi and said, "Suddenly mentioned what his outer room is for."

Wu Xiaoxi smiled sweetly: "No one knows about many things because no one checks them out. Dai Xian has five sons, the two older ones have affairs with this lady Chun, and the two younger ones are newly added after he has made a fortune in the past few years. It's very small; the third child was raised in an outside room, I recognize it."

"You want to help the third child win the childbirth?"

Wu Xiaoxi tilted his head: "That's not true. Among Dai Xian's sons, the third has a deep resentment towards his father. His mother is Mrs. Dai's cousin, and she used some means to almost kill Mrs. Dai. After the wife turned over, she was never allowed to enter the gate of Dai's house. In order to let the third child recognize his ancestors, his mother endured a lot of hardships, and then became a nun, in exchange for the third child to recognize a maid who was married by Mrs. Dai. For the mother."

Jia Congqi said: "Dai Xian's appearance is mediocre, why is his backyard a mess, what's the matter?"

"What's so strange about this? The rich man in the country is also a big family in the village. I don't know how many people want to send their daughters to be aunts. Although Dai Xian comes from a small county town, his family is the largest big family in that county. Anyway, every backyard They're all nests of black-eyed chickens."

Jia Cong touched his chin: "What's the character of the third child?"

Wu Xiaoxi glanced at him: "Do you think it will be bad?"

"That's not true." Jia Cong said, "My two uncles and two aunts, a hypocrite and a fake Buddha, raised a glass man like Jia Baoyu with a crystal heart. It's just that Dai San must have had a hard time in Dai's house. Mrs. Dai may not have treated him harshly in terms of food, clothing, and daily life, and psychological torture is absolutely indispensable-if she is very transparent, she will not raise two sons who steal mothers. To be honest, I don’t feel very relieved. Successful people tend to go to extremes.”

Wu Xiaoxi smiled lightly and said, "Dai Lao San has a very lively temper, he looks like a fool."

Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's absolutely impossible to be a fool."

Wu Xiaoxi nodded and said: "He is very courageous. Because of his good looks, he dared to be courteous to me the first time he saw me. The brothers in the special camp misunderstood him and acted as if nothing had happened after hitting the butt of his gun twice. I can bear it, There is a bit of a gambler's style. Such people are easy to use. As for who the Dai family property will belong to in the future-it has nothing to do with us."

Jia Cong glanced at her again: "Do you look good?"

Wu Xiaoxi rolled his eyes: "Have I never met a man?"

"Of course not! Shopkeeper Wu hasn't seen any princely talent in these years." Jia Cong smiled flatteringly, "There is nothing wrong with people with this kind of temperament. Gamblers are most needed in the capital age. It's just that it's too boring to spend such energy at home. , how good it would be to spend it on the heads of Westerners."

Wu Xiaoxi said leisurely, "It was the youngest who first advised Dai Xian on the African slave business."

Jia Cong nodded: "With this vision, even if he leaves Dai Xian, he can do it."

Wu Xiaoxi sighed softly: "Dai Xian is not one of us after all. The Dai family and the whole of Fujian couldn't find a more suitable person to recruit, so this is the only way. Dai Xian and the third child in his family are good at weighing the pros and cons. Not reckless. They are not willing to be loyal to the court, but it is good to be loyal to their interests."

Jia Cong stroked his chin and said, "Then it's better to send one of our own people to take charge."

Wu Xiaoxi said: "Although we have many people, it is not enough. There are also the Malay Islands. Lin Xiangye, General Jia, is about to go out again."

Jia Cong scratched his head: "That's all. You did him a big favor, do you want to see him?"

"No see." Wu Xiaoxi sat upright, "Look at the excitement."

The next two days were really busy.Dai Xian checked and found out that Mrs. Chun had slept with her two sons, so she was so angry that she ordered someone to strangle her to death.The two men from Dai's family came to rescue Miss Chun in time, and they made a big fuss, blaming themselves for the fault, saying that they forced Miss Chun.Mrs. Dai came from the mansion to try to persuade her, but it was useless, the three of them seemed crazy.In the end, Mrs. Dai forced her son to stop meddling in Mrs. Chun's affairs with death.The two young masters seemed to have been drugged, and they were all vying to die for their mother and Mrs. Chun. Dai's other courtyard was almost turned into a hornet's nest.

Dai Xian was so angry by this incident that he flicked his sleeves and left, and lived in another outer room.After resting for less than half a day, the governor Huang Wengang sent someone to invite him.It was only then that Dai Xian remembered that he forgot about the important event that Jia Cong said a few days ago.So temporarily put the fire in the backyard behind him, and hurried to the governor's office.

Huang Wengang trusted Dai Xian very much.After Dai Xian's family became rich, he never forgot his status as a subordinate official, and he never forgot to help everyone get rich together.When Dai Xian arrived at the yamen, he saw that besides Huang Wengang, there was also Zheng Chao'er, the commander in chief, and he immediately understood.Nai went up to greet the two of them, and Huang Wengang asked him to sit down.

Dai Xian didn't sit down, but made a bow to Huang Wengang and said, "Dare to ask, my lord, is it because of the secret order in Beijing that I called the officials here today?"

Huang Wengang was shocked: "How does Master Dai know?"

Dai Xian said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, it's because of that. Did the King of Yan order Fujian troops to go to Taiwan?"

Zheng Chao'er said: "There is another group of troops, and the leading general is named Li. We only obey that General Li. The order is not the King of Yan, but the sage."

Dai Xian thought for a moment and asked: "May I ask you two adults, who recognizes the handwriting of the little sage?" Huang and Zheng looked at each other and said, "I don't know." Dai Xian said in a low voice, "A few days ago, Jia Cong from the Taiwan government Come and see the officer."

"What?!" Huang Wengang stood up, "Why did he come to see you?"

Dai Xian then recounted what Jia Cong said that day, but never mentioned that Jia Cong asked him to replace the governor of Fujian.Huang Wengang trembled slightly from the words "Da Nei Guard".At the end Dai Xian said: "The lower officials think about what he means, it seems that the two families under King Yan are fighting each other, and the Empress Dowager and Eunuch Dai Quan have already let them bribe them."

Zheng Chao'er was confused: "The King of Yan and the Empress Dowager are obviously not in the same group, so how come his subordinates are in the same group as Dai Quan?"

Dai Xiandao: "Because of the big internal guards in the hands of the Empress Dowager, the King of Yan can't touch her. Seeing that she sells her title, she knows that she is greedy for money. If you have money to be a middleman, what else can't you do?"

Huang Wengang stumbled and said, "Whatever they love, what does this have to do with this old man!"

Dai Xiandao: "Jia Cong's intention is to let the adults pretend to be sick and ignore the secret orders of some little sages. Isn't there another General Li? It's good not to have anything to do with Fujian. Even if King Yan blames it—" He twisted his beard and said , "What can we do in Fujian?"

"Inappropriate." Zheng Chao'er said, "After all, we are still soldiers and horses of the imperial court."

Dai Xian said: "If the secret decree is really issued by a sage, that's all. If it's false, let us listen to General Li again—Master Zheng, you always know what the soldiers and horses of the Taiwan government look like. You can't say that the surname is Li. Why don't you use people from Fujian as shields to block the artillery?"

"This..." Zheng Chao'er also hesitated.Where is he willing to part with his robe?

Huang Wengang sat and thought for a long time, and murmured: "From the secret decree, it is really impossible to tell whether it is true or false."

Dai Xian said with a smile: "The fact that the secret decree can come to Fuzhou is obviously fake. Think about it, my lord, where can I really get out of the Forbidden City?"

Before the words were finished, there was a "clang" sound from the roof, and tiles fell to the ground.Huang Wengang hurriedly ordered someone to check.Not long after, a soldier came to report that there was a big "false" character on the dust on the roof, as if it was written by a human finger.The three adults were astonished and looked at each other for a long time. Although they didn't say anything, they secretly believed that Jia Cong's words were true.Besides, the three of them now have considerable family businesses, and none of them are willing to fight in Fujian.

A few days later, Huang Wengang really fell ill.And he was so sick that no matter how many doctors he invited, he couldn't find out the root cause.Finally, an old doctor whispered to the young master of the Huang family: "I heard that there are many secret medicines in the palace, which can cause people to suffer from various strange diseases. Maybe the folks also have those prescriptions." After taking the medicine, I became more and more worried and became seriously ill.

With his illness, Dai Xian became busy.Most of Huang Wengang's usual official duties are now done by Dai Xian on his behalf.He is busy with official duties, and the Dai family also has a lot of private affairs, how can he be so busy?The theory is that these private affairs should be taken care of by the two heirs, young master Dai, but Dai Xian hates that the two of them have cheated on their own concubine and still refuses to repent, and dares to contradict Lao Tzu with death, and his three sons are usually very filial and Obedient, he threw all the family's business property to the third child.Mr. Dai was fearful and fearful, and he refused to make decisions on his own. Most of the time he asked Dai Xian's confidants in charge, asking them, "If my father was here, how would he deal with it?" He also followed Dai Xian's rules and habits.Dai Xian was very satisfied when he learned about it, and praised him for a long time.After hearing this, the people below believed that the third master was now favored.

In the past few days, apart from listening to news from various places, Jia Cong wandered all over the streets for fun, wondering if there was a way to take Fujian as a whole without disturbing the large princes in the north.When I returned to Hongguji's shop one day, a clerk hurried up to meet him, and said in a low voice, "Third Master, when Shopkeeper Wu asked you to come back, I'll go over there."

Jia Cong nodded and asked casually, "Is there something wrong?"

The man said: "A lady who refused to say her surname came to her. She just wrote a sign and went in, and she saw her." Jia Cong frowned and walked in with his arms behind his back.

This is the shop of Red Bones in Fuzhou, and there are many houses behind it. Jia Cong walked for half a day before reaching the place where Wu Xiaoxi talked with people.Seeing a few special battalion soldiers guarding the door, they coughed twice.Then I heard Wu Xiaoxi say inside: "The third master is here, please come in quickly."

Jia Cong opened the door curtain by himself and saw that there was a rich and handsome woman sitting on the guest seat in the room. She was under 50 years old and looked like an official's wife. She asked with a smile: "Since I am seeing an official's wife, why let me in?"

The woman had stood up and performed a blessing, Jia Cong hastily replied, "I dare not."

Wu Xiaoxi blinked and said, "This is Mrs. Dai Xian's wife."

Jia Cong glanced at her and said, "So it's Mrs. Dai."

Wu Xiaoxi smiled wryly and said, "Mrs. Dai came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime."

Mrs. Dai hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper Wu, I have no such intention. I just want to find out what the shopkeeper Wu said to our master that day."

Wu Xiaoxi looked at Jia Cong and said, "I told her that I was just a cover, and Mr. Jia borrowed my carriage to see Lord Dai."

Jia Cong said: "That's true. Due to some reasons, Wan Sheng was unable to visit the mansion, so he asked shopkeeper Wu to help me. The fact that Wan Sheng discussed with Mr. Dai is a very important matter for the court. If Mr. Dai refuses to tell Madame is excused."

Mrs. Dai was frightened by the words "major court affairs", and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "Then why... our master went to investigate that fan?"

Wu Xiaoxi said "Oh": "That fan! I reminded you. Mr. Jia said several times that what they discussed was a big deal. I looked at that fan and saw his intentions were not right. I'm afraid there is something wrong. What's wrong." He said apologetically, "I really don't know..."

Mrs. Dai came to a sudden: "So it's because of this..." Immediately she realized that her son had pulled out a carrot and brought out the mud. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Who could have sent the powder as a craftsman?"

Both Wu Xiaoxi and Jia Cong were at a loss: "I don't know!" Jia Cong also said, "Fujian is Lord Dai's territory, and he will find out. Well, maybe he has no time to investigate these days."

Mrs. Dai couldn't help standing up: "If that fan head is a secret work, could she deliberately provoke our master to discord with my two sons?"

Wu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Very likely."

Mrs. Dai immediately said: "If our master doesn't have time to check, can someone else check?"

Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "Now Governor Huang Wengang is seriously ill, but he doesn't trust others except Mr. Dai, so Mr. Dai has to help Mr. Huang with his daily affairs. We are also in a hurry and there is no way - I am also afraid that the fan is a secret work Well, it will be difficult if you eavesdrop on something." He thought for a while, and then bowed to Mrs. Dai, "Master Dai probably doesn't have time to deal with that young lady these days. Please, Mrs. Dai, please be kind. Take care of her, don't let anyone rescue her, or silence her, or pass on a message to her."

At first, Mrs. Dai was just hoping that Mrs. Chun would work carefully so that she could break her son out. After hearing this, it seemed that Mr. Jia was very sure that Fentou was a spy, so she hurriedly said, "I'll interrogate him when I get back." she!"

Jia Cong said: "Just lock her up. I heard that the two men of the Dai family have made her stunned. Mrs. Dai must not torture her. If she is not a spy, she will not be able to endure severe punishment. If she dies In your hands, your two sons will have pimples on you for the rest of their lives; if she is a spy, with all due respect, all spies are trained, even if you are an amateur like Mrs. Dai, she will not tell the truth even if you kill her. I will definitely try to deceive you and your son into a misunderstanding—once this misunderstanding arises, it will really last a lifetime."

Mrs. Dai is always a woman in the backyard, so it is not easy to guess that there is something about Wu Xiaoxi here, and dare to ask her about it.Hearing this, his face turned pale with fright, and he said after a while, "What should I do!"

Jia Cong said: "I have to feed her with food and water, and save it for another trial in the future."

Mrs. Dai stumbled and said: "I can't wait! That woman's son is favored now!" Nai thought for a moment, then bowed down to Jia Cong, "I have a maid who is the smartest, I wonder if Mr. Jia can ask someone to teach her? "

Jia Cong and Wu Xiaoxi looked at each other, and said, "Your maid? Are you smart? Or please come and see me."

Mrs. Dai hurriedly shouted: "Fennel——"

After a while, a woman walked in through the door curtain.Jia Cong took a look, this fennel was almost 30 years old, and she was still dressed as a maid.A pair of bright eyes, shining brightly is a smart man.
