The eldest son of the red mansion

Jia Ke waved to the soldier and said, "Go back, as long as I'm here." The soldier then retreated.

What Tang Kuai didn't know was that the person in front of him was the newcomer Qianhu Jia Ke.Hurry up and knelt down on the ground, bowed to Jia Ke and said, "Caomin Tang Kuai, I'm here to greet Lord Qianhu."

Jia Ke looked at him with a slight smile on his face, "I know you. We are a well-known rich businessman and kind person in Kaipingwei. I don't know what you want from me."

Tang Kuai looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and for some reason, he felt a chill down his back, as if being stared at by a wild animal.

Originally, he thought that by this time, there was nothing to be afraid of, but from the moment he saw this boy, he felt that this boy was too scary. How many times have you saved him.

Tang Kuai knelt there and didn't dare to get up, didn't dare to lift his head, kowtowed to Jia Ke, and then said tremblingly: "The Caomin surrendered themselves."

Jia Ke put away her smile, narrowed her eyes, and there were bursts of cold light from the west wind, but there was still a smile in her tone of voice when she spoke to him: "What did Mr. Tang Dashan do to turn himself in to me?"

Tang Kuai was still kowtowing non-stop, "My lord, the minor crime deserves death. He is a spy of the Tatars."

Chapter 105 Minions

After Tang Kuai said that he was a spy, not only did he not feel afraid, but he felt that a heavy burden had been lifted from his body. For the first time in so many years, he felt so relaxed.The hesitant eyes just now also settled down, and the body didn't tremble as much as before.

Jia Ke didn't feel much surprise when he heard what he said. He guessed at first that the spies in Kaipingwei made a living by selling horses, and there were only a few horse sellers in Kaipingwei, and among them Tang Kuai was the most suspected. Because he has the widest connections, father and son have never had any incidents on the grassland.This is simply impossible.

What Jia Ke didn't expect was that not only did he not follow the order of the Tatars to attack the city gate tonight, but he ran to surrender to himself instead.

Jia Ke looked at him and said, "I guessed everything about you. The only thing I didn't guess was that you would turn yourself in. Why tell me about it, so that I can have a clear idea."

Tang Kuai knelt on the ground and said frankly: "My lord, my father is a Tatar, but my mother is from the Central Plains. My mother didn't know my father's true identity until she died, and I was the only person in our family who was specially treated by my father. To train, to be his successor after death, to continue to be a Tatar spy. But he doesn't know, since he told me about it, I don't want to be in my heart. I don't want to be a Tatar, I just want to be a People from the Central Plains, I don't want to go back to the grasslands to be someone else's slave. And as my business grows bigger and bigger these years, this idea has become stronger and stronger. But I can't do anything these years, because I am in the hands of the Tatars Kite, they used my birth to control me, and when I flew a little farther, they pulled me back by the string, so they have been working for the Tartars?"

Jia Ke interrupted him and asked, "Is the death of the previous Qianhu related to you?"

When Tang Kuai heard Jia Ke asking this question, he didn't hide anything, "Yes, my lord, every year when the Tatars invade the south, I will meet a few assassins and come to Kaipingwei, and provide them with some convenience. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they fail."

Jia Ke asked him curiously, "Then why didn't anyone come to assassinate me?"

Tang Kuai lowered his head and said truthfully: "I just assassinated a thousand households this year. If another one dies, I will definitely be exposed. I am the nail of two generations of hard work. The Tatars wanted to protect me. , no action was taken.”

"Then why did they raid the city gate tonight?"

Tang Kuai also said suspiciously: "This little one doesn't know, and the little one is also very puzzled about it. Lighting three huge bonfires is the last resort. Once I use my nail, I'm afraid it will be useless."

Jia Ke stared into his eyes and said, "Since you surrendered yourself, have you thought about the consequences for yourself?"

Tang Kuai now has nothing he can’t say, “I’ve thought about it a long time ago, I’m afraid there’s no reason for the little one to survive, but the villain’s son doesn’t know about it at all, I can tell the adults anything, I just ask the adults to let me go their lives."

Jia Ke didn't give him any answer, but continued to ask: "How did you agree with the Tatars? What's the secret code?"

"Light three bonfires, that is to say, we will act at midnight tonight. They secretly came to the city, and I held a torch on the top of the city and shook it continuously, telling the Tatars that they are ready and can enter the city." Teacher Tang Kuai said.

Jia Ke stood at the top of the city and looked out of the city, thinking about things silently, as if she had forgotten about Tang Kuai.But Tang Kuai knelt on the ground, not daring to move.Waiting for Jia Ke's final verdict, I don't know whether it is life or death.

The question Jia Ke is thinking about now is his life and death, should he die?It stands to reason that he sent people to assassinate several Qianhu, and he was still an undercover agent of the Tatars. It should not be an exaggeration to kill such a person.But Jia Ke is not one of those heroes who serve the country and the people. The death of the previous Qianhu has nothing to do with him. What he thinks about now is himself.What benefit could he, Jia Ke, gain from this matter?

Jia Ke thought for a long time, and finally decided to save his life and let him work for him.In this way, he not only has a source of information about the Tatars, but also has an extra source of income, so why not do it?

As for being discovered by others in the future, no one should have the ability to do so. The two generations of father and son have been hiding for decades. If it weren't for today, who would be able to discover them when they are at the end of their lives.

And even if it was discovered that it was related to him, he would have an excuse.It's just that he was ordered by himself to go between the Tatar tribes, spy on the news, and serve the country.

Jia Ke made a decision, turned her head to look at Tang Kuai's terrified expression, and said to him indifferently: "You will have nothing to do with the Tatars in the future, please be your Central Plains person, but the Tatars Don’t break the line, I’ll send someone to contact you later.”

Tang Kuai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Jia Ke spared his life, and then collapsed on the ground involuntarily.

Jia Ke looked at Tang Kuai, who was limp on the ground, and then said to him, "From now on, continue to trade your horses, and I will ask for half of your future profits."

Tang Kuai didn't dare to have any objections at this time. Instead, he thought it was better. If he could get on the line of Lord Qianhu, it would be equivalent to getting on the line of Rongguo Mansion.When Lord Qianhu came, he found out clearly that this Jia Qianhu was a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, Tang Kuai's brain was fully active, and he figured out the key point at once, and said to Jia Ke respectfully: "Master, I will be your slave from now on. Bring it here." After speaking, she secretly looked at Jia Ke.

After hearing what he said, Jia Ke couldn't help showing a smile on his face.Tang Kuai knew that he had made the right bet this time.If he didn't send the body deed to him, Jia Ke might not be able to fully trust himself, and the result would not be certain.But now it's different, I am Jia Ke's slave, and I will prosper and prosper together with Jia Ke, and both will suffer.

Seeing Tang Kuai still kneeling on the ground, Jia Ke said to him, "Get up, you have nothing to do now, and you must be careful in handling errands in the future."

Tang Kuai quickly got up from the ground, walked gently to Jia Ke's side, and flatteringly asked Jia Ke, "Master, what about the three piles of bonfires outside?"

Jia Ke looked outside the city wall and said casually:

"Call me uncle from now on, you will call me old."

Tang Kuai hurriedly said: "Yes, what the uncle said is right, it's because I'm too bad at talking."

Jia Ke didn't pick on him, and looked outside and thought for a while, "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own way, and you will still do your business in the future. If the Tatars want information, give them some information." Doesn't matter, keep the line going."

Tang Kuai smiled and said to Jia Ke: "Don't worry, sir, and I can hand in at least 8 taels of silver to you every year."

Jia Ke was shocked when he heard his words.He never thought that this business would bring in money so quickly, even the entire Rongguo Mansion's annual income would not be 10 taels based on his estimates.

Now Jia Ke is satisfied, at least she will not be short of money in the future.

Tang Kuai looked at the smile on Jia Ke's mouth, and boldly said, "I have something to ask my lord, I wonder if you can listen to me."

Seeing that he gave herself so much money every year, Jia Ke thought that if it wasn't too difficult, she would agree to him.So he nodded slightly.

Seeing Jia Ke nodding his head, Tang Kuai hurriedly said humbly: "Master, I have two sons who are useless and know how to tease cats and dogs every day. I want to send them to my master's personal army, and trouble me to discipline them for me. "

As soon as Jia Ke heard what he said, he immediately looked at Tang Kuai with admiration. This is sending two hostages into his own hands, and it seems that he is sincerely relying on himself.That being the case, Jia Ke could not refute his kindness.He reluctantly agreed.

After that, the conversation between Jia Ke and Tang Kuai became much easier, and Jia Ke also regarded Tang Kuai as one of his own.

Chapter 106 Stealing the City

While chatting with Tang Kuai without saying a word, Jia Ke ordered someone to call Feng Mo to the top of the city.

Feng Mo soon came to Jia Ke and saw that there was another person beside Jia Ke. It was Tang Kuai, a big businessman in Kaipingwei, but the two of them had little contact with each other.At this time, I didn't know that it was inconvenient to speak, so I stood aside and didn't speak.

When Jia Ke saw Feng Mo coming, he didn't introduce Tang Kuai to him.Instead, he said to Tang Kuai: "There is nothing for you here, you go back first, put your heart in your stomach, and I will support you in the future."

Tang Kuai said respectfully: "My lord, this servant will be going back now. If you need anything in the future, send someone to say hello to this servant, and this servant will be here soon."

Jia Ke listened to his words and nodded, waved him to go back.

After Tang Kuai left, Jia Ke said to Feng Mo: "I just got the information that the Tatars will come to steal the city at midnight tonight. The code at the top of the city is to hold a torch and shake it a few times. What about this matter? What do you think?"

Feng Mo was actually very surprised by what happened just now. According to Tang Kuai's tone just now, this Tang Kuai turned out to be a servant of the Rongguo Mansion. Some decline, I am afraid it is deliberately low-key.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Jia Ke asking him, so he quickly put the matter aside.After thinking about the situation in front of him, he said to Jia Ke: "Since we already know the enemy's secret signal, we might as well use the trick and put them into the urn city. Close the gates on both sides, and then come to the urn to catch the turtle. This will consume a lot of the enemy's strength. "

After hearing Feng Mo's idea, Jia Ke thought it was very good, almost as he thought.

Jia Ke immediately gave an order to Feng Mo: "You gather all the crossbowmen, and then ask to form an ambush on both sides of the wall. When the enemy enters the urn city, all arrows will be fired, and I will shoot them all to death in the urn city."
