The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 559

Jia Xu and the others seem to be ups and downs, but in fact they destroyed the two imperial edicts left by the late emperor in a smooth manner. Liu Er only said to hunt for some game, jumped up the treetops and disappeared.Turning around and seeing Liu Xiaoqi playing on the swing under the old tree, Liu Er said: "The first one is Tianman; the second one is Tianqiao..." Just now, Fennel touched the old camphor wood with a long needle The order of the boxes is stated again.After hearing this, Liu Xiaoqi repeated it, and Liu Er nodded: "That's it."

Liu Xiaoqi asked: "Then I don't know much about Miss Zhen, isn't she one of us?"

"It's half my own." Liu Er thought for a while and said, "The less people who know about important matters, the better." Liu Xiaoqi pursed his lips, and threw a dart casually, killing a person not far away. An ignorant rabbit, dodging away.Liu Er pulled out the dart to wipe off the blood, put it in his dart bag, picked up the rabbit and went back to find Jia Xu and the others.

Jia Xu was talking to Fenix ​​about the rules in Jinyiwei, but Liu Er didn't dare to disturb him, so he lit a fire to roast the rabbit.Smelling the fragrance of rabbit meat, and thinking of the stone rabbit just now, Fenix ​​was secretly happy.After eating the roasted rabbit meat and some dry food, the three rushed back.Fennel walked slowly and was not good at mountain walks, so Liu Er carried her on his back and rushed to the foot of the mountain before dark, staying overnight in the temple where they raised their horses.

Today is the end of the day, with great ups and downs, great sorrow and generosity, and severe tossing.Fennel was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open after dinner.Following the Zhike monk to the room they had prepared for the benefactor, he fell on the kang and fell into a deep sleep.Jia Xu was full of energy and ordered Liu Er to accompany him for a walk.Turning around a small slope, Liu Xiaoqi jumped down from the tree with a smile: "Fifth Master, that's right."

Jia Xu nodded, "Okay." Frowning again, he remained silent for a while, and said, "I'm thinking whether to tell Cong'er." Liu Xiaoqi cast a questioning look.Jia Xu said, "I'm afraid he will smash that thing."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "No, Brother Cong cherishes things the most."

Jia Xu hummed, "Treasures are cherished. When you want to give up, you are more willing than anyone else."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Isn't there something from their Taoist school?"

"What's that?" Jia Xu sighed again: "You know him for too short a time, and you haven't been to Taiwan... That's all. Now that I'm in Beijing, why don't you take a trip. Bring all the news and things with you. In the past, I asked them how to deal with it, so I could meet those people in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

Liu Xiaoqi readily agreed, and said with a smile, "I also wanted to go to the south. I recently figured out a kind of food, and I'm going to discuss with Brother Cong how to sell it."

Jia Xu looked at him and then at Liu Er: "Is this kid actually from your Liu family?" Liu Er smiled and nodded.

The next day, when Fennel woke up, the sun was already in the sky. She didn't feel it was funny, and murmured: "It's so late. It really is not a slave's mind." Jia Xuliu got up early in the morning and fought in the backyard , four or five young monks stared at them, their eyeballs motionless.Fennel got up late, a little embarrassed.On the contrary, Jia Xu said: "Jia Cong gets up at this time every day." The three of them ate some fast food, took out the stored horses and hurried back to the capital.After finishing the old affairs at home, Fenix ​​is ​​determined, and will learn some skills from Jia Xu day after day without mentioning it.

On the other side, Liu Xiaoqi took the [-]-mile express road to Taiwan.When I arrived at Chengtian Mansion, I inquired, and even Jia Lian, the magistrate, moved to Dajiala, and hurried to Dajiala again.Along the way, I couldn't help secretly praising Taiwan's government for being rich, and the big concrete road was wide and straight.If the whole country followed this path, it would be much easier to move.I have seen the big guide sign "Dajiala", and I haven't seen the city gate after walking for half a day. The market has become more and more prosperous, and the houses on the roadside have also increased-but they look weird.

After walking for a while, there was still no city gate, so Liu Xiaoqi became anxious and urged the horse to move forward.As he was running, he suddenly heard a whistle, and a man standing on a pier at the intersection pointed at him and shouted, "Comrade, why don't you look at the red flag?" Liu Xiaoqi shuddered, and hurriedly stopped his horse. . Isn't the word "comrade" the name of Shi Qiusheng and his group of revolutionary parties?He turned his head and looked at the man carefully.This person is wearing lake blue clothes, but it is not the usual Chinese style, but it is very similar to the camouflage uniform worn by the bandits in Panlong Mountain.The man shouted again, "About you! This is a transportation hub, why don't you rush in without looking at the red flag?" At this moment, many carriages and horses passed by on the horizontal road, bypassing Liu Xiaoqi like flowing water. ; Liu Xiaoqi stood in the middle like a stone in the river, very abrupt.He immediately understood what the man meant.

At the intersection he came by himself, no matter whether it was on his side or on the opposite side, cars, horses and pedestrians stood still.The whistle blower held a red flag in his hand, and someone at the opposite intersection also raised a red flag.Both of them had big umbrellas behind them, and each sat on a chair under the umbrella holding a green flag.On the horizontal road, there were two people at the intersections on both sides, the one holding the red flag sat under the umbrella, and the one holding the green flag stood on the pier at the intersection.This red and green flag means that people and vehicles at the intersection will stop when they go.

Liu Xiaoqi was obviously a countryman who had entered the city today, a little shy, and cupped his hands to the man on the pier: "Sorry, I'm from another place, and I'm not familiar with the local rules."

The first wave of people and vehicles passed by, Liu Xiaoqi took advantage of the gap to steer his horse to the pier and clasped his fists again.The man said: "I think you are a new immigrant? You are not familiar with the traffic rules. This is the most important thing. Hurry up and go to a literacy class. It doesn't cost any money. When you see the red flag in our Dajiala, you have to stop. Wait for others to leave first, understand?"

Liu Xiaoqi frowned slightly.There was nothing impolite about this person's words, it was just an arrogance coming from nowhere, which made people feel uncomfortable.Nai clasped his fists again and said, "Dare to ask, sir, where is the gate of Dajiala?"

The man smiled: "Our Dajiala is a new city, and there is no so-called city gate. It will be expanded in the future. Who knows where the city gate will be expanded?" His tone became more and more arrogant.

Liu Xiaoqi nodded: "So that's the case." She was thinking about how to deal with him secretly later.But at this moment, the person holding the green flag came over and walked up the pier, and this person gave him a high five and jumped down with a smile on his lips.This person is over forty years old, just now he jumped like a teenager, Liu Xiaoqi suddenly couldn't bear to deal with him.Hearing the sound of a long whistle, the people on the pier raised the green flag, and there was a large sound of "drive~~" behind them, and there was a crackling of a horse whip.The person holding the green flag urged: "Hey, comrade, hurry up, don't get in the way of others at the intersection." Liu Xiaoqi suddenly felt amused, and clasped his fists to urge the horse to move forward.

When he arrived at the intersection ahead, he asked the person who was resting under the umbrella holding the red flag: "This...er, comrade, I want to find the prefect's yamen."

The man pointed to a big sign on the side of the road: "Here! There is a map there." Nai stood up, "You probably don't know how to read it, let me teach you."

Liu Xiaoqi hurriedly said, "No, I can understand the map."

The man said cheerfully, "Okay!" Then he sat down again.

Liu Xiaoqi went over to look at the sign, which had a painted map on it.He was thinking about where he was standing now, when he saw a red five-pointed star drawn at the bottom of the map, next to which was written: The five-pointed star on the map is where this card is located.Another five-pointed star was also at the bottom of the map. He saw it at a glance, and murmured: "This is... Enhou Avenue? Isn't Enhou the name of Jia She?" Fortunately, he had always known the map of Rongguo Mansion. Going north, south, left, west, right, and east, they found their destination in a few glances.

He hurried to the magistrate's Yamen and said he wanted to see Jia Lian.Menzi asked him for a film, and said, "Our master is very busy, you have to make an appointment."

Liu Xiaoqi was annoyed, and said: "I don't have time to make an appointment, is Jia Lian in?"

Menzi said: "Yes, I'm just busy." Liu Xiaoqi didn't even bother to fasten the horse, threw the reins on the ground, and disappeared in a flash.Menzi stared wide-eyed and searched for a long time, "Where is the person?"

Liu Xiaoqi went all the way inside to find Jia Lian, and jumped in front of him.Jia Lian was startled: "Who are you!"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I'm from the Falcon Bookstore in the capital city. I was ordered by Fifth Master Jia Xu to come to Taiwan Mansion. I have something urgent to see Jia Cong." Jia Lian hesitated a bit.Liu Xiaoqi said, "May I ask how many people know the name Jia Xu?"

Jia Lian immediately believed him, and hurriedly called for someone to take him to the government building, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, do you want to have a cup of tea before going over?" Liu Xiaoqi just said "No", and followed the visitor.

When I arrived at the government building, Liu Xiaoqi had seen all the strange-looking houses all the way since he entered the Dajiala area. Standing in front of this building, he couldn't help but take a closer look—it was really solemn and generous, but only four The four directions are boring and boring. Could it be that Jia Cong also learned this from the West?After sitting in the communication hall at the entrance for a while, someone came to ask him his name.Liu Xiaoqi said casually, "Yin Qi." After a while, Jia Cong came to meet him in person.When Liu Xiaoqi saw his round face, he felt inexplicably as if he had passed away.

Jia Cong complained: "You didn't say hello when you came! Uncle Wu didn't send a letter either."

Liu Xiaoqi also complained: "You don't even know how I made it all the way here! Several horses ran to death."

Jia Congqi said: "I have passed through several countries from the capital. Would the person in charge of the post station be willing to give you a horse? Whose military order do you use?"

"I bought it with money."

"……All right."

The two went straight to Jia Cong's office.Liu Xiaoqi sighed at the door, "It's so extravagant! They're all made of clear glass."

"That's called transparent glass, thank you." Jia Cong smugly said, "What is glass? It's everywhere."

"It's just that the houses here are weirdly tight."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "This is called modern style."

"It's not good-looking anyway."

When the two entered the room, Jia Cong personally poured him a cup of tea.Liu Xiaoqi silently looked at Huizi's room, thinking to himself: Wei Wei's mother opened the door for Wei Wei, Wei Wei has come home.It's just that he didn't have the time to talk to Jia Cong right now, so he let out a sigh of relief, untied the burden from behind and put it on the big case.

Jia Cong stared at the burden: "What?"

"Fifth Master asked me to bring it to you." Liu Xiaoqi said, "The thing that killed Zhen Hui's family."

Jia Cong immediately sat up straight: "Fifth Uncle has been found out?"

Liu Xiaoqi nodded: "He ordered the people from Jinling to find Zhen Yingjia, and asked him to dictate the picture of the eunuch sent by Zhen Deren and the Supreme Emperor, and send it back to Beijing by flying pigeons. He recognized the eunuch immediately. He was an eunuch trusted by both the Emperor Taishang and Liu Dengxi, and he almost recognized Liu Dengxi as his godfather. This person is still working beside the Empress Dowager in the palace, and has a close friendship with Dai Quan. The fifth master planned to arrest him for interrogation. The eunuch was actually a loyal one, and we couldn’t pry his tongue and teeth open. Later, we managed to rescue him by pretending to be a royal guard, and we played several scenes to coax him to speak.” He paused.

Jia Cong waited for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

Liu Xiaoqi sighed lightly: "It's a long story."

It turns out that at the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, Grandpa Tai had borrowed the power of Buddhism and Taoism.There are Maitreya religion and Tianshi Taoism among the people, and there are countless believers in both.I don't know how the grandpa met the leaders of these two families, and how he coaxed them into believing that if they had a prosperous day, they would be prosperous.After winning the world, Grandfather invited important figures from both sides to Beijing, saying only that the emperor is one of you, and that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism can live in harmony.This person was very good, and the two families did not cause any trouble afterward.Because the two families have received secret orders, their flags and drums have died down for the time being.This is not over for the time being.Naturally, what they went to was not the Hongmen banquet, but the decapitation banquet.

According to the usual story, there will always be those who escaped by chance who know the truth and strive to avenge their master and ancestors and return justice to themselves.But this is not a story.None of the people slipped through the net, and none of the news slipped through the net. Both the Maitreya Sect and the Taoism of the Celestial Master were completely deceived. They really thought that the leaders of the two families were practicing in order to wait for the right time.Some people became suspicious and wanted to investigate, but found nothing.That's it.

Empress Dowager Grandfather passed away, and there was something that caused the late Emperor a headache.In order to cause trouble in the early years, Grandfather secretly sent people to dig up many ancient tombs, and exchanged funerary objects for military pay and rations.The sharp ones among these things are naturally reluctant to sell, and they are all put away, saying that they are left for future generations to store in the warehouse.A generous and detached person like Mrs. Grandfather suddenly became obsessed with power and things in the few years before his death, and ordered people to send all those treasures to his mausoleum so that he could be buried with him.

The first emperor has been thinking about those things for many years!Seeing that it was about to become his own, suddenly his father was about to be taken into the grave, secretly very uncomfortable.After Grandpa Tai died, the late Emperor endured it for several years, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sent people to dig up Grandpa Tai's tomb quietly.

The Mausoleum of Grandfather Tai was built with the help of craftsmen from the Heavenly Master Way.The first emperor had no way to deal with it. After many people died, he exhausted all kinds of organs, and finally dug up those things by force.Fortunately, the late emperor still had some conscience. He only wanted the ones that Grandpa Tai moved away at the end, and left the rest alone. He also ordered people to rebuild Grandpa Tai's mausoleum.

Among those things, the most important thing is an old camphor wood box, which contains the tokens that the grandpa got from Maitreya Sect and Tianshi Taoism.Whoever gets those two things will be able to command the believers of Maitreya Sect and Tianshi Dao—they are numerous and outnumbered like a mountain, stronger than an army.Tai. Grandfather really couldn't get rid of it back then, so he thought of using them to act secretly and follow suit, coaxing them to go dormant according to false orders and hide tokens.

The first emperor couldn't open the box by all means, and he knew that the box was made by a famous craftsman in the previous dynasty, so he sent people to look for it everywhere.Zhen Yingjia found out that Zhen Deren's teacher was the famous craftsman of the former dynasty, and a recommendation letter pushed the clan brother into the gate of hell.
