Chapter 593
Jia Rong didn't have the lingo of Xining County's royal line in his hand, but he knew some common sense, and the lingo was often changed.Now that the Ningguo Mansion is exhausted, Jia Rong has no way to get money except for the buyer who doesn't know where.When a person reaches a dead end, he can break through the sky with courage.But Jia Rong didn't have the ability to be a desperado.A bizarre idea popped up in his mind——make up.
Jia Rong also studied.Although I didn't pass the imperial examination, I have roughly read history books, and I have read all kinds of strange stories, and I have never missed the Green Forest Commentary published by Zhonghua Book Company in recent years.Since it is a cryptic word, other people must not know it, so neither will the buyer.Jia Rong then made up a set of cryptic words based on the model in the story, and made up all the words that he had used to monitor the Rongguo Mansion in the past few years, and then thought about filling in some words.
After a few days, he went to the tavern to have a drink, and he met the scholar that day.Jia Rong asked him for 100 million silver.The man bargained and finally settled for 80 yuan.It's just that the person didn't want to give it all right away, he gave half of it first, and then gave the half after verifying that the lingo was correct.Jia Rong was an empty-handed white wolf, and he got as much as he got, so he only pretended to choke a few times and agreed.The next day, the two met in a tavern, and Jia Rong got 40 silver notes out of thin air.
In the past few days, Chun didn't ask for clothes or jewelry anymore, and was much gentler than before, but he often asked him about the outside world.Although the king of Xining scolded him, this person came from a family of meticulous workers, and Jia Rong was more careful and kept his mouth shut in front of Mrs. Chun.
Life in Ningguo Mansion is still difficult.Jia Rong thought about it again and again, and took 40 out of [-] into the public account, only saying that she got it from outside.Jia Zhen was overjoyed, and without asking how he got the money, immediately went out to treat guests to dinner.After pretending to be his grandson for less than half a month, he was about to go crazy.Five thousand silver is a drop in the bucket, not enough to spend a few days in Ningguo Mansion.Jia Rong didn't take out the rest anymore, but hid them quietly.
On the other side, Mr. Cui, who was sent by the King of Yan to Qin, hurried to Chang'an, first wandered around the city for a few days to recognize the streets, and then saw a secret worker under Feng Ziying, before he quietly entered the gate of Gao's house.Jia Taijun saw him in person and asked him to put him down.Three days later, Mr. Cui met Shi Zifei at Gao's house, and the two had a long talk across the screen.Two days later, Mr. Cui moved into Shizi Mansion under the name of Qing Ke.
At this moment, the son and the son are still in mourning, the whole Chang'an city is completely deserted, and the Shizi's mansion is very busy with visitors every day, no one pays attention to Mr. Cui.He was not in a hurry, he just studied in the guest hospital peacefully.This day the concubine Shizi thought of him, so she ordered a very trustworthy nanny beside her to give him a winter coat.
Seeing that the clothes were mink fur jackets, Mr. Cui waved his hands again and again and said: "My son's bones are not cold yet, and my concubine will send the newcomers to the mansion to wear such extravagant and expensive things. I am afraid it will provoke people's tongues. The mother quickly sent them back, Wan Let no one know about it!"
His face was solemn, so frightened that the nanny hurriedly put away her clothes, her voice was trembling, and she looked around: "Fortunately, there is no one here, sir!"
Mr. Cui sighed: "When you are in Tian's family, you should pay attention to every step, and I hope the concubine Shizi will think about it."
The mother said yes again and again, and sighed: "The old slave also felt that something was wrong just now, but I didn't think of it. The old slave thought that this thing is expensive, so the son is gone, so the empress gave the valuable things to outsiders. It's a bit like a prodigal girl."
Mr. Cui nodded and said: "This section is also inappropriate. Madam is old and has seen a lot, please persuade the concubine more."
With tears in her eyes, the mother said: "This old slave is already at this age. I have been with the imperial concubine for these years and watched her survive day by day. This city of Chang'an is full of tigers and wolves. After the eldest son is gone, I don't know how she will live in the future. "
Before, Mr. Cui only thought of her as an ordinary old lady, but when he suddenly heard her say "tigers and wolves everywhere", he couldn't help nodding, "You have some knowledge." That time he talked with Shi Zifei for more than an hour, and he already knew this woman Not a smart one, I don't want the humble nanny next to her to be unremarkable.Suite asked the nanny to sit down, and slowly talked to her.Immediately shocked.Although this nanny is old, she knows many things outside, much better than Shi Zifei.This autumn in Qin State is just an eventful one.The letter I got was from the Gao family, King Qin didn't value the Gao family, so the news from the Gao family was general.Since this nanny is the close person of the concubine Shizi, she can't say that she knows some details.Then he asked carefully what happened to the Qin State a few days ago, and who was the "prince concubine" who was snatched away.
The mother said: "We don't know many things outside. Anyway, when the woman and her gang came, Chang'an had accidents one after another. First, it was the Maitreya sect, and then the prince insisted on marrying her, and finally the bandits were brought into the city of Chang'an." coming!"
Mr. Cui was stunned.After a while, he said, "Maitreya? Isn't Maitreya gone long ago?"
Mammy was also stunned: "It's gone? Didn't we find out several spies? They're all dead."
Mr. Cui hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Please enlighten me."
Mammy said: "I also heard what others said, so I don't know if it's true or not. The reason is that in spring, a young master in the capital came to Gao's family to visit relatives, and was kidnapped." At first, Mr. Cui thought it was an ordinary relative of Gao's family. When he heard the word "kidnapping", he suddenly thought of Jia Cong.The mother went on to say, "After all, the Gao family is very capable. They raised a few powerful wolf dogs and rescued the young master overnight. Our prince and the prefect went to find out who kidnapped him, but he refused to say, and our son guessed." A long time." She paused.Mr. Cui nodded. "Shortly afterwards, six or seven people died in Chang'an City, among them was the second master of the magistrate's family, but the official government did not find out anything. Later, the young master went back to Beijing. He left, and the prince suddenly sent troops. Chase him!"
Mr. Cui already guessed that the person must be Jia Cong, and asked: "Why did the prince send troops to chase him?"
The mother looked at the window and said in a low voice: "Your Highness was persuaded by a very famous and eminent monk, Master Jingde. Who knew that Young Master could use magic spells! When the magic weapon was sacrificed, it beat His Highness's pursuers to their knees! His Highness was furious! Kill Master Jingde."
Mr. Cui took a deep breath and said after a while, "What happened next?"
"Later, Miss Wang, whom our son originally wanted to marry, had a scholar under her surname Dong, who was extremely powerful. After re-investigating the unsolved cases in the spring, it was found that Master Chen, Master Jingde and a coachman were all taught by Maitreya. The young master, a relative of the Gao family, is a Taoist and talented. The Maitreya sect was afraid that if he gained power, he would help the Taoist school and the Buddhist family would suffer, so they wanted to kill him." The mother finished speaking in a fit of anger, "Our prince sent What a big temper! Sir, think about it, even the magistrate’s men are the masters of Maitreya! Is this okay?”
Mr. Cui was stunned for a while, then thought for a long time, and said, "I haven't heard of these things outside?"
Mammy said triumphantly: "How can the outside know? These are not allowed to be revealed."
Mr. Cui nodded slightly, and asked, "Does Miss Wang have any other stories?"
"Yeah~~" Mammy shook her tongue and started talking, talking about everything from the money she didn't know where to "Water Bandits of Taihu Lake", and it took less than half an hour to finish.After hearing this, Mr. Cui took out two taels of silver to reward her, and said: "If you hear about these things outside, please come and tell me. Whether the grandson of the king can pass these years safely, the news outside is the most important thing, let us You have to be flexible."
Mammy said solemnly: "Mr. has an order, I dare not disobey!" She took the money respectfully, kowtowed to Mr. Cui and left.
Mr. Cui changed his clothes and said that he wanted to go out for a walk, found a small restaurant in a small alley to eat, and told the owner of the restaurant what Nanny Cai said just now.The two discussed for a long time, and the boss wrote an urgent letter after he went, and asked someone to send it to the capital immediately.
Feng Ziying felt that her scalp was numb, so how could she care about this?Recently, news from various countries has entered Beijing, and rumors spread from all directions that the Supreme Emperor is imprisoned in Jinggangshan, Jiangxi.Wanzhang also sent people to report, and the number of strange people down the mountain increased sharply, all asking about the situation on the mountain.The bandits in their family also encountered a lot of trouble when they went down the mountain.King Yan thought about whether to give the old man another place to hoe the ground, so he sent someone over to have a look.
The envoy left Beijing overnight, and flew away like a horse.On this day, I arrived at Jinggangshan, and bumped up the mountain to enter the village.The envoy clasped his fists at Wan Zhang and said, "General Wan, the master ordered the villain to come and see how good that man is."
Wan Zhang was about to invite him to a table with a flattering smile, but he was startled when he heard this: "That person? Which person?"
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in the messenger's heart: "Who else is there? Of course it is that person!"
Wan Zhang wondered: "Isn't that man already taken away by the prince?"
The envoy was shocked: "When did the prince take him away?"
"Six days ago." Wan Zhang said, "I've just left for six days. I'll show you the prince's secret order." Regardless of etiquette, he ran to his residence.
Not long after, he ran back and handed the envoy two secret orders.One said that the news had leaked out recently, and special agents had taken away the Supreme Emperor, and the other was to transfer General Li Guopei to lead the troops to Fujian to practice naval warfare.The envoy trembled all over when he saw the two secret orders, and Baba'er was sweating while standing in the cold—the Emperor lost it.He didn't even bother to take a sip of tea, he hid the secret order in his bosom, and immediately said that he wanted to return to Beijing.
Wan Zhang also knew that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to follow.With Li Guopei not around, someone must guard the mountain.He sent the envoy down the mountain in desperation, and said with tears, "This secret order is clearly true..."
The emissary sighed, "Six days... the speed of the horse is enough to go to sea from the ports of Wu State." Wan Zhang was so frightened that he fell off the horse.
The envoy rushed back to the capital at night, but several horses died on the way.King Yan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
Since Jia Rong of Ningguo Mansion got the money, he had to go to the Hualou to spend the money.One day, he was having wine with some good friends, when the servant came in and came back, someone was looking for him outside.Jia Rong looked at it with a smile, and immediately sobered up.The person who came was the scholar who spent 40 silver to buy his volume of false lingo.Jia Rong had already prepared countermeasures, if the scholar said that his lingo was wrong, he would say that he had changed it in the past few days, and if the other party asked for a bank note, he would just refuse to give it.So he stretched his face and waited for others to speak first.
Unexpectedly, the scholar gave him a deep salute with a smile, and handed over a purse with both hands: "Thank you, Mr. Jia. This is another tael, Mr. Jia, please keep it well. It will be just now, and we still have business to do."
Jia Rong was shocked!Could it be that the ancestors did not manifest themselves?Those are obviously made up by himself, why did he come to give the other half of the money again?Do you have such luck?He is also poor and crazy now, so he just said dryly: "It's easy to say, easy to say." He took the purse and held it tightly in the palm of his hand.The scholar made a long bow to him, turned and left.
Jia Rong didn't care about her friend's fans, so she ran to the hut.When I got inside, I opened my purse and took a look - there were 40 silver bills neatly, not a lot of money.Jia Rong stayed for a long time, took a few deep breaths, and hid the purse in her bosom.Nai fell to his knees with a plop, and said in his mouth, "Thank you ancestor for protecting you..."
Even the nonsense lingo can get 80 silver, Jia Rong is full of energy.Then he went back to the banquet and told his friends that he had something urgent to leave, and sent the people who followed him back home first, and he went to Jia Qiang's house alone.
Jia Qiang cut off contact with Ningguo Mansion ever since she knew that Jia Rong was acting as a secret agent.At first, he only lived on a small property at home.Later, when I met Jia Yun outside, the two brothers said something heartfelt, and Jia Yun took him to do some business.It was very difficult at first, but fortunately Jia Qiang looked good and could talk, but after three or four months it gradually became smoother.
Jia Qiang was still in the shop when Jia Rong came.Jia Rong couldn't wait, so she went to the shop to look for him.But I saw Jia Qiang wearing the old clothes from three years ago, sitting in the shop looking at the newly arrived goods, surrounded by shopkeepers and shopkeepers, her eyebrows and eyes still picturesque.Jia Rong coughed.Jia Qiang looked up at him.Jia Rongben was wearing a brand-new brocade robe of white fox fur, with his arms behind his back and his chest upright, looking like an old man.Seeing Jia Qiang glance over, she suddenly lost her momentum, stepped forward and said with a flattering smile, "Brother Qiang."
When Jia Qiang saw him in the past, he was either cold-faced or turned against him.The two hadn't seen each other for a while, but today he just said indifferently: "I'm busy right now."
Jia Rong was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I have a lot of free time! Waiting for you and waiting for you!"
Sure enough, Jia Qiang ignored him and just inspected her own goods.On the contrary, some guys quietly looked at Jia Rong a few times, and dared not speak.With enough time for two sticks of incense, Jia Qiang was done.He ate a cup of tea and walked up to Jia Rong, beckoning: "Come out and talk to me."
Jia Rong hurriedly followed her out, and said happily, "Brother Qiang, I'm very lucky! I made a fortune!"
Before the words finished, Jia Qiang interrupted: "Brother Rong, the world has changed a lot, and the prince's family has lost the court's supply and power. It is no longer possible to live by the ancestors, and it will be sooner or later to make a fortune by chance. Sit and eat. Only by making progress on your own can you support the whole family. Seeing that we have survived these years, I only advise you a few words. Whether you can listen to it or not." He looked at Jia Rong and sighed With a sound, he shook his head, "Forget it, anyway, you have the support of the Prince of Xining, so you can't say that you will be promoted to a noble in the future, and you can travel thousands of miles." He withdrew and went back to the shop.
The guys inside poked their heads out several times earlier, and when they saw the owner came back, they all scattered.Jia Rong wanted to show him the 40 bank note, but now she was stunned.
