The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 943

The Jiaofang Division has always been carefully controlled by the imperial court, and the state of Jin is no exception.On this day, an old man came to Taiyuan Jiaofang, who claimed to be surnamed Ying. He was a county magistrate of a certain place, and he led a few ordinary-looking followers.All the naked-eyed judges in the teaching workshop from top to bottom can tell that Mr. Ying must be more than just a junior, he is very considerate.Mr. Ying asked to see Eunuch Zhang, the envoy of Jiaofang.

Eunuch Zhang came here after hearing the news, flattered him a few words, and asked him if he wanted someone to serve him.Yingda said: "I have a few words to say to Mr. Zhang."

The entourage took out a waist card of the Imperial City Division, and Eunuch Zhang hurriedly played a thousand children, secretly knowing that this Lord Ying must be a member of the imperial court, and the people from the Imperial City Division accompanied him to investigate the matter.Sure enough, Master Ying asked about the assassination of the eldest son on a cruise ship on the Fen River four years ago.Because the son was fine, and he didn't pursue it too much afterwards, Eunuch Zhang thought about it for a long time before he remembered it.At that time, the assassin pretended to be a dancer sent by the Jiaofang Division, but the real dancer was knocked out before going on stage.Because the dance was a Hu dance, all the dancers covered their faces, so no one noticed.Lord Ying ordered his real dancer to bring it.

After a while the dancing girl came.Master Ying saw something strange about the governor at a glance.This woman is extremely thin, less than seven feet tall, and she must have been shorter four years ago.Gan Kexi was seventeen or eighteen years old four years ago, and she was much taller than this girl.And men have thicker waists than women.It's okay if outsiders can't see it, and the dancers can't see it unless they are blind.

Lord Ying didn't show any trace, and called the dancer to come up and ask him carefully.The dancer did remember.Before going on stage, she was drawing eyebrows and eyes in the cabin, when suddenly the back of her head hurt and she didn't know anything.Later, when the officers and soldiers were searching the ship, they found her out of a cabinet and woke her up.Ask another group of dancers, there are nine in total, and all of them are still in Jiaofang Division.

He also asked the assassin about the circumstances of the assassination.The dancers said that they were dancing at that moment, and the assassin jumped in front of the prince, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from his hair and stabbed him.A Confucian scholar was faster than the guards, jumped up to the crown prince and shouted: "Protect the crown prince! There are assassins!" The guards rushed forward like a dream.The assassin stabbed the prince several times across the Confucian scholar, stabbing the Confucian scholar's shoulder and arm, and the prince was unscathed under the protection of the Confucian scholar.Later, the assassin was besieged and killed by more than a dozen guards. He escaped and jumped into the river, where he disappeared.

Master Ying's face, which had been tense for a long time, could not be stretched anymore, he twitched several times and asked, "Who is that Confucian scholar?"

The dancers all said they didn't know, but Zhang Gonggong said: "It's Mr. Hao Can, who is a gentleman under the family."

Master Ying frowned and said: "If I remember correctly, this Mr. Hao was earlier—" He stretched out two fingers, "This person. The son who took refuge in him later."

"Exactly." Eunuch Zhang said fairly, "Anyway, that person has gone to Japan now."

Lord Ying looked at the dancers and asked: "Do you remember that dance back then?" The dancers said "Yes." Lord Ying asked them to dance again.

The dancers put on their dance clothes and danced back to the old dance.After reading it sullenly, Master Ying thought for a long time before asking them to dance again.The dancers danced again.Master Ying asked who composed the dance.Zhang Gonggong immediately called out to teach mother to come out.This taught my mother to be over 60 years old, with gray hair and good looks.Master Ying asked Ban Tian why Hu Wu wore a veil since he was showing his belly.Teacher Xi's mother said something that Mr. Ying couldn't understand for a long time.Master Ying was confused, as if he no longer had doubts.

After dismissing the group of dancers to teach, Master Ying sat in the room and stroked his beard, thinking about having a cup of tea, then suddenly got up and resigned.Father-in-law Zhang sent him out of the gate of Jiaofang Division.

This Lord Ying is Feng Ziying.Go back to Ma Xing and tell Jia Cong: "The prince of Jin was assassinated four years ago in order to put one of Dongying's subordinates in front of the prince."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Haha! I've long guessed that Situ Wei used his power. That kid is poor and destitute, so he wouldn't dare to go into the muddy water of seizing his wife if he doesn't pick up some tricks."

Feng Ziying glanced at him: "Is that so? I haven't heard you say it for a long time." Then she told the story in detail.

Jia Cong bared his teeth: "Could it be that the Jiaofang Division is the territory of the Second Master of Dongying?"

Feng Ziying thought: "Not necessarily, the Imperial City Division is upright after all. The teacher's mother must be under the second uncle of Dongying, and I have sent someone to watch her. But this Hao Shen is originally a child of the Hao family in Taiyuan."

"Um, are you famous? I know Taiyuan Wang."

Feng Ziying said: "Although there are many small families surnamed Wang in Taiyuan, they are no longer a gathering of big families. On the contrary, the Hao family has been passed down to this day, and it is a big family. It's just that there has never been a high-ranking official in the past two dynasties."

Jia Cong held his chin and thought for a while: "It's been a long time. A big family can't be a high-ranking official for hundreds of years. What's the use of having too many people? If the government wants to bully you, you have to endure it for nothing. I'm afraid you will be anxious. It's easy to be anxious. Soldiers are risky. For example, it is mixed with some kind of seizing the heir with an unknown future."

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager's family and the Hao family have married twice."

Jia Cong said twice: "That's clear. The first king of Jin arrived in the state of Jin, and he brought many veterans from the capital. Even if the local rich Hao family came here, the masters of the capital would definitely not like them. The only option is to win over the concubine of Jin at that time, who is now the queen dowager. The queen dowager is eccentric and likes the second uncle of Dongying. Hmm...Situ Wei's mother and concubine, the Yin family, were drafted into the palace. Follow him Calculated based on his age, it should be drafted as soon as King Jin came here. At that time, the entire Prince Jin Mansion had just settled down, and everything was incomplete. Brother Feng, will Situ Wei have an uncle Wang next door?"

Feng Ziying was taken aback: "The Wang family? Which Wang family?"

"No, it's an analogy... um, an allusion. The allusion is not correct either." Jia Cong patted his head, "I mean, in that chaotic period, could Situ Wei be the son of Concubine Yin and the Second Master Dongying. "

Feng Ziying frowned: "You... are too unbelievable."

Jia Cong said: "At that time, it was too late to build the Shizi Mansion, and the Shizi and others lived in the Jin Palace. The Yin family has no foundation, but is born beautiful. It is a relatively easy way to seek refuge with Jin Wangfei. Jin Wangfei likes her younger son. It is the second uncle of Dongying. The second uncle often goes to act like a baby to his mother and concubine, and the Yin family often goes to flatter the princess. The two met without paying attention. This can also explain why the Queen Mother has been helping Situ Wei from such an early age. It's all meat. How fair is it for the eldest to be the king of Jin once, and then to pass the throne to the second son's son, right? Just like my grandmother, she was only thinking about Baoyu's elder brother inheriting the Rongguo Mansion after my father died. Who is Jia Lian? Can not remember."

Feng Ziying thought for a long time, then hesitated and said: "It makes sense. I have to ask my colleagues who hid in the Jin Palace in the early years about something."

"Early years?"

Feng Ziying said with emotion: "Liu Dengxi hid in the Eighth Prince's residence. I didn't expect people who still use him to this day."

Jia Cong blinked and said, "Then what can we do to ensure that he won't be pried away?"

"His whole family is in the country of Yan." Feng Ziying said, "Parents, brothers. The nails planted by Liu Dengxi are absolutely sure."

Jia Cong nodded: "Wait until the Jin Kingdom is captured, so that he can settle down."

Feng Ziying said: "His elder brother promised to adopt him a son in the future. He was the one who gave Gan Kechun the pregnancy medicine."

"Oh."

The next day, many things came to fruition.

First, the teaching mother of Jiaofang Division.Feng Ziying's people followed her to a troupe, and then the troupe's wife went to Hao's house by car.

Then I received a telegram from the south.By coincidence, Zhou Xiaolan came to Dajiala to discuss a trade contract in person, and she is currently staying at the Java embassy.She said that in the early years there was no female guard named Qiao, but there was a female guard named Hao Qiao, who was a few years younger than Zhou Damei, and was very skilled in martial arts.After the world was in chaos, she did not go to Chen Country with Zhou Damei, but went back to her hometown.But Zhou Xiaolan didn't know where her hometown was.Jia Cong and Feng Ziying smiled at each other and clapped their hands.

The nail in Prince Jin's mansion also sent back important news.Concubine Yin was not a concubine of the eldest son Ji when she was first elected to the Jin Palace, but was a maid beside the concubine.Because of Sheng's beauty, the prince asked Princess Jin to ask her to go.The concubine refused to give it at first, but only after asking for it several times.Concubine Yin conceived soon after accepting grace.When she was pregnant, Princess Jin sent someone to take care of her.

After hearing this, Jia Cong was stunned for three seconds, then bared his teeth at Feng Ziying and said, "Brother Feng, guess, is Situ Wei a premature baby?"

Feng Ziying took a few deep breaths: "Even if you are biased, it's not so biased! Is the eldest son born? Could it be that the mother left the son?"

"I can't rule out this possibility." Jia Cong thought for a long time and said, "The situation is basically clear. The female guard Hao Qiao, under the pseudonym Qiao XX, took refuge in the former King of Jin and trained guards in the library of the Jin Palace. Gan Kexi is one of the guards. It's just that he is very talented. It's a pity to be a guard. The King of Jin let him preside over the Imperial City Department. Hao Qiao's family, the Taiyuan Hao family, took refuge in the Jin Princess at that time and now the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother prefers the youngest son, Dongying The second uncle. The eldest son, who is now King Jin, may not be her own. There is a high probability that Situ Wei was born by the second uncle of Dongying and Concubine Yin, and he himself...does he know?"

Feng Ziying said: "Even if you tell him about such things, you have to wait until he becomes a prince."

Jia Cong giggled and said, "I like breaking other people's secrets the most."

Feng Ziying gave him a sidelong glance, and said: "The power of the Empress Dowager is within the walls of the Prince Jin's mansion, and she cannot reach into the court hall; the Hao family has no such ability. Therefore, even if the King Jin is not born to the Queen Mother, she can't do anything about it." Naihe. It can be seen that Hao Qiao and the Hao family are not completely of one mind."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Hao Qiao has her own code of conduct. After all, it was taught by the palace. Otherwise, if she tried to kill King Jin when he was still the crown prince, the second uncle of Dongying would directly succeed the crown prince. She is willing to help The series of Queen Mother, Concubine Yin, and Situ Wei who were married by the Hao family are just partial gangs, and they will not violate the rules of succession to the throne to do things like the sound of axes and candles." He squeezed his chin, "This person has to find a way Get rid of it, or it will spoil our business."

Feng Ziying said: "Tudu is the most convenient."

"It's a pity that it suddenly happened." Jia Cong stretched his waist, "It seems that the fat lady is not married yet? It's not bad to go to Nanyang to see the sea with old girlfriends, isn't it." Feng Ziying looked at the sky.

"But we still have an unsolved mystery." Jia Cong said, "It's not a sign that King Jin took away the Second Master Dongying."

Feng Ziying said: "Even Han Qi doesn't know why."

"Then it can only be some kind of consonance." Jia Cong thought for a long time, "Princess Jin...does she have a trustworthy girlfriend?"

"Concubine Jin believes it." Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong and said, "You can come out and talk to her yourself."

Jia Cong recited "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable": "The poor should not deceive women." Feng Ziying laughed twice.

When it comes to Taoism, Taoist Aunt Xinzhen is the most famous in the entire city of Taiyuan.There were only five days left before Xinzhen and Lin Dongyang got married, and suddenly a post was sent to the Prince Jin's mansion.Concubine Jin was at a loss for what to do about the incident with the crown prince. When she saw this post, she immediately yelled to throw it out.On the contrary, the nanny beside him persuaded: "My lady, since the Taoist priest Xinzheng asked to see my lady, he must have something to say." Jin Wangfei gritted her teeth for a long time, thinking that her son had fallen into some kind of magic spell of this evil way, so she agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Chunyang Palace was cleared of pilgrims early, and Princess Jin drove in a row to pay homage to Lu Zu.At this time, Jia Cong, Regent of Yan, was at the Jin Palace, together with Zhang Su, Han Qi and other important officials of the Jin State, reported to the Jin King the railway line they had just negotiated and roughly how much it would cost.Except for the second child who was still recuperating in the mansion, the four adult princes including Shizi and Situ Wei were all present.

The abbot of Chunyang Palace greeted him at the gate of the palace early, led the Taoist priests to pick him up, and accompanied the princess to pay homage to Lu Dongbin.After all, the princess will take a short walk into the palace.Just after turning around the corridor, I suddenly met a woman wearing a stone-blue Taoist robe, with a very beautiful appearance, who stood upright.The female crown went straight to the princess and said: "There is something in the poor way, and I want to show it to the princess. I beg you to turn your screen back and forth when you look at this thing, so that no one else can catch a glimpse." Then he took out a plain cloth handkerchief from his bosom, There is something in the handkerchief. "If it is seen by others, it may cause serious injury."

Although the concubine was suspicious of her, she believed her. Seeing that she spoke so confidentially and seeing that the thing was only the size of a jade pendant, she ordered someone to take it.The nun was still kneeling far away, and everyone else stepped back ten steps.The concubine opened the veil and took a look. Inside was a dental plaque, engraved on it: "Dajin Imperial City Secretary, Sixth Grade Officer, Zeng Yuan."Nai gasped.

The Taoist girl didn't raise her head and said: "I beg you to return it to the poor Taoist after reading it." Princess Jin slowly wrapped the tooth card and returned it to the Taoist girl herself.The nun immediately stuffed it back into her arms. "Thank you ma'am."

Princess Jin said: "You really believe in the truth?"

"Yes." Xinzhen still bowed his head, "Pindao married General Lin at the behest of the lord, and the lord also promoted him to a higher official position. When Pindao recognized his son, he really didn't know his identity." " Then she raised her head slightly, and said with a wry smile, "That's why the poor Taoist disappeared as soon as he learned that Mr. Wang Daxiang was the eldest son. General Lin holds the military power of the whole country, and it's really not easy for us Imperial City Secretary to send someone in. Madam Don't worry, the Lin family will be loyal and good for generations. Wouldn't it be better than adding a dispensable beauty to the Shizi's mansion?"

Concubine Jin never dreamed that this nun was actually a master craftsman by her husband.After being stunned for a long time, he bent down and helped Xinzhen up.Nai held her hand and said in a trembling voice, "Tell me honestly, you have me in your heart."

Xinzhen bowed his head and said: "My lady, I only have the Secretary of the Imperial City in my heart, and the Secretary of the Imperial City is only loyal to the prince. When the son ascends the throne, I must have him in my heart."

Tears rolled down Princess Jin's eyes, and she said three "good" words in a row.
