The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Cong coaxed the bandit leader to come under the tree, sat down and rested for a while, looked at the man and said: "Brother leader, there is no one else here, how about we open the skylight and speak plainly? Who sent you?" ?”

The bandit leader was taken aback. "What?"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Obviously you are not a real bandit, probably someone sent us here to trouble us."

The bandit leader sneered, "Why am I not a real bandit?"

Jia Cong said: "You don't have the temperament of a bandit. Originally, you could have been a bandit by mistake for some reason, but you still have the heart to pretend that you are a bandit. Therefore, it can only be sent by someone. "

The bandit leader just looked at him indifferently.

"The sentence just now, 'Even if I die, my brothers can get money to live, I have no fear of death.' You answered too fast, too false, and too righteous. Posturing is my strong point, so I can see who is pretending better than ordinary people. Bandit leaders are not so righteous. Also," he glanced at the group of bandits below him, "although there are many bandits, they don't look like elite soldiers. It is easy for the regular army to beat them. You can see that you are a smart person. If you are their leader, how can you be willing to hit an egg on a rock? It is simply letting them court death. Therefore," Jia Cong said with a smile, "Brother leader, Who is behind you? Why did you come to trouble us? There must be a purpose. Anyway, now that you are riding a tiger, why don't you all discuss it openly and honestly, and there is another way to keep things safe."

The bandit leader's expression changed, and Jia Cong knew he was right, and he tried again: "It's good to get to know each other, my name is Jia Cong, how about you?... Hey, don't pretend, look at your expression just now. Really, you already knew my name was Jia Cong. How did they tell you? Is Jia Cong the smartest kid?"

The bandit leader saw that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to say: "Two children have come to the Rongguo Mansion, the fat one is called Jia Cong."

Jia Cong stared and said, "Isn't Brother Huan fat?! He is also obviously fat, but he is a little thinner than me."

The bandit leader had no intention of discussing with him whether he was fat or not, so he ignored him.

Jia Cong said again: "Brother leader, what are you singing this for? To embarrass Uncle Gao, who was robbed under his own rule? Or another team is waiting behind the mountain, and beat half of them Come out to help us fight, and then take the opportunity to get acquainted with each other? Or is there another team waiting behind the mountain, halfway through the fight, come out to take advantage of the fire, and throw the blame to these ordinary bandits? I don't think you have much murderous intent. My life? Oh, no way, murderous aura came out while talking, so let’s talk if you have something to say..."

The bandit leader sneered and said: "You are so talkative at such a young age, it will be the easiest thing for me to kill you with one knife!"

Jia Cong snorted and said, "Come on, you're not that fearless of death. You still want to live after I'm dead? Is it okay to have a quick idea? You see, it's not a fight or not. People on both sides are waiting. Besides. , you are really not afraid of a mistake, you let us shoot it into a hedgehog first? Hey, I have been talking for a long time, but I still refuse to say the name. Or you can tell me a pseudonym, or a nickname. What little Song Jiang, Thin Li Kui, returning to vulgar Lu Zhishen..."

The bandit leader waved his hand: "You don't need to spy on me, it's useless to use a pseudonym." Yin said, "I had a plan to take all of your birthday presents, but now it seems to be in vain. That's all, sure enough. There are people outside the people, today I just take a trip for nothing, and there will be a period later." After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Jia Cong grabbed him and said, "Wait! Brother, at least tell me if you are from Ping'an Prefecture or from outside. If you are from Ping'an Prefecture, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" "Lord Gao suddenly collected a lot of exorbitant taxes in the past two years, which was deceived." Jia Cong said solemnly with a sullen face, "Now he has realized that he will not deceive the people again in the future. It's just that in the past The ones that were taken away probably won’t be returned.”

The bandit leader had already taken two steps, and paused when he heard the words.

"In short, if you are really local people, you will naturally believe me when you see the tax-excluded documents soon."

The bandit leader came back again: "Who lied to him?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "I really can't say this. Even if you trade your background for me, I can't say it."

The bandit leader hesitated for a while and said, "I'm really a bandit."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "I don't believe it. It doesn't smell like a bandit, it's fake."

The bandit leader smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, believe it or not, I intended to get money." After saying that, he really withdrew and walked down.

Jia Cong hurriedly followed, and shouted: "Hey, do you really not want to leave a name? The mountains don't turn around, and the water doesn't turn around. If you don't make it all together, we can see you again in the future. It doesn't matter which battalion you are. It doesn't matter which battalion you are. .”

The bandit leader almost staggered.

Jia Cong saw it clearly, and before he had a reaction, he continued: "My family has opened several antique shops. If you are really a bandit, we can still do business. You can't just exchange antique calligraphy and paintings for firewood, rice, oil and salt. If Sell ​​it to a pawn shop, and the pawn shop won't kill you? My antique shop is very fair in business."

The bandit leader had stopped and looked back at him now.

Jia Cong said very sincerely: "Now my family is not as good as it used to be, but it is more or less a state government and has a few noble relatives. We dare to do business that ordinary small antique shops dare not do."

He's been thinking about money laundering for a long time.This business is simply tailor-made for the rich and powerful at present. It is easy to make money and does not require too much effort. The current chaos makes the court careless of such trivial matters.If princes and princes want to run their own affairs, money is the most important thing, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of unknown money that has to be laundered.I'm afraid this bandit leader was ordered to rob just like Jia Shejia Jia Si back then.There may not be only one person like him, this business is done well.

The bandit leader looked at him carefully for a long time, and said: "Forget it, I can't be the master, let's talk about it in the future."

Jia Cong nodded again and again: "Okay! Why don't you make a secret sign?"

The bandit leader said: "Master Jia, please decide."

"Hmm... secret code... I'm afraid that if your heart is broken, no one will wipe your tears for you?"

The bandit leader was stunned: "What kind of signal is this? Three long whistles and two short whistles are all that matters."

Jia Cong grinned, nodded and said, "Okay! I'll wait for you!" and made an OK gesture.

The two of them walked down one after the other.The bandits saw that their leader came down in a friendly manner, and guessed that there would be no more fighting today, and some impatient ones had already started packing up their weapons.The leader only waved his hand, and his subordinates clattered up the hillside, disappearing in the blink of an eye.The leader was riding a horse, and he clasped his fists at Jia Cong: "Master Jia, I hope that what you said is true, and the future will be long." He pulled the horse away.

Seeing that he was gone, Gao Ying hurriedly asked: "Cong'er, what did you tell him?"

Jia Cong sighed softly, and said sternly, "I said that Uncle Gao won't collect exorbitant taxes anymore, let him and the bandit brothers go back and find a way to clean up their crimes, and go back to the village to live a better life." He looked at Gao Ying and said sternly , "My cousin already agreed that day, so I swear, don't cheat me."

Gao Ying hurriedly said: "I heard Weiss' words that day, my father already understood, and he issued the paperwork to remove many taxes, probably they came here late." He looked at the bandit leader again. Xiang Xiang said regretfully, "Just now you took advantage of the situation to recruit him. A group of ordinary bandits made him practice so well. If you recruit him back and let my father teach him, he can be a general."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Now that he has suffered from your family for two years, he just wants to recruit you in a few words? Can you wait for your cousin to reduce his tax for half a year? Anyway, on your land, if If he is really a character, he will show up sooner or later. At that time, his cousin will be pleasing to his eyes, so it will be easier to recruit him."

Gao Ying thought so, so let it go.Everyone made a false alarm and rectified the carriages and horses to move forward.

Because this section of the road is really not a bustling place, I only went to a very small village at dusk to spend the night, thanks to Gao Ying who knew the way.There were only a dozen or so households in this village, and there were not many houses, so they gave the villagers a few extra money and rented three farm yards to rest, and let the owners stay overnight at relatives' homes.Fortunately, the land here is not valuable, and the yard is not small.

After tidying up, Jia Cong was curious about what the village looked like in ancient times, so he walked around while it was still dark, and felt that the difference from hundreds of years later was not too big.Just as he was about to go back to his residence, he suddenly heard three long and two short whistles in his ears, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look around.I saw the bandit leader sitting under a big locust tree, and he had changed into an ordinary villager's attire, quite rustic.

Jia Cong hurriedly grinned and ran over to give a thumbs up: "Brother Villager, you are so handsome!"

He has probably never seen such a shameless person before, he was startled, and said: "My surname is Zhong."

Jia Cong smiled and drew the word "bell" on the ground with a branch: "Is that right?"

Zhong Heng couldn't help chuckling, took the branch and wrote the word "Heng".

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "This name, if you say that you are a child of an ordinary family, do you believe it yourself?"

Zhong Heng sighed: "I don't want to mention it, I didn't intend to tell the name of the third master, and for some reason..." He shook his head, "Zhong was ordered to discuss business with the third master Jia."

Jia Cong nodded and asked, "Do you know my escort agency?"

Zhong Heng said: "Taiping Escort."

Jia Cong said: "You go to the Taiping Escort to find the shopkeeper Jia Si."

Zhong Heng couldn't help sighing: "The Public Amnesty Committee really values ​​Master Jia Si."

Jia Cong said: "Naturally, they are a fateful friendship. Um... this... There is also a code. It is really a code, but it is a bit strange." He said embarrassedly, "The code is, Marvel was originally called Surprise .”

Zhong Heng frowned: "It's really strange."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Therefore, there will be no mistakes."

Zhong Heng nodded, and asked again: "Are those small crossbows from the Gao family or from yours?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "I said Brother Zhong, do you think I will tell you about such an important matter?"

Zhong Heng couldn't help laughing: "That's right." Then he got up and patted the dust, and walked slowly with his body bent, his walking posture was really like an ordinary villager.

Jia Cong stared at him for a long time, and took a leisurely stroll back after he disappeared.

That night, Jia Cong and his confidants talked about Zhong Heng in detail, and asked Gong Kun if he knew the name.Gong Kun frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "I've never heard of this name, so it's better to ask people to find out."

Jia Huan said: "Anyway, it's just doing business, and it's not worth making it so clear."

Gong Kun waved his hand and said, "It's not just for business. Since he can change into the farmer's clothes and wait here, he is clearly prepared. I'm afraid that Mr. Cong's guess is correct. They still have a second hand, so be cautious tonight." Some." He then went out and ordered everyone to pay attention to food and drink and people coming and going in the village.Everyone knew that he was Mr. Wei, and when they saw him so solemnly exhorting him, they were a little more vigilant.

Yao'er heard that he insisted on watching the night in person, Jia Cong persuaded him for a long time, but he didn't listen, so he had to tell him to bring a western firearm and a telescope for him.Gao Ying had always respected him, but he had never seen him like this all the way, so he felt a little uneasy, and after thinking about it for a long time, he actually came to watch the night himself.

At night, everyone fell asleep.There was nothing wrong before, until the third quarter of the ugly hour, someone suddenly shouted: "It's on fire!"

The village suddenly became lively.In the distance, a house was smoking in the moonlight, people were howling, and many dogs barked together.Immediately someone came to call for help and asked them to help put out the fire.

Yao'er shouted: "Don't run around, I'm afraid there will be fraud!"

The man shouted: "You are allowed to live in the village, but you foreigners are not even willing to help put out the fire?"

Yao'er stood in the moonlight and squinted his eyes to look at him for a while, then suddenly threw a throwing knife towards him, only to hear the man cover his arm with an "Oops".Without waiting for him to say anything, Yao'er said first: "I have never seen a villager wearing such boots, it is obviously something from the army camp."

That person yelled half a word, and lost his voice when he heard the words.

Now that Gao Li came over, he couldn't help exclaiming: "A thing in the barracks? Who is he?"

Yao'er said: "It's not a villager anyway."

The man hurriedly shouted: "I have these ordinary boots, where are they from the military camp? When did the military camp take care of the boots?"

Yao'er said: "I'm sorry, I just said casually, the moon is not very clear today, I only see boots."

The man shouted again: "Can ordinary villagers not wear boots? We also have hunters in our village."

Yao'er said: "Of course, villagers can also wear boots, but the villagers don't need to explain to me that the boots are not under the control of the military camp, and they don't know that the military control does not care about boots." A lot of people came around.Then he sneered, "My brother still thinks Zhong Heng is a man."

I saw a man coming over from the crowd, saying: "It has nothing to do with Zhong Heng, he has already left quickly."

Yao'er said "Oh": "So, are you guys falling apart inside?"

The man sneered and said, "We don't bother you about our affairs. Hand over the things wisely, and let you and your group leave safely."

Yao'er smiled lightly: "It is important to have self-knowledge. Judging from this alone, Zhong Heng is ten times stronger than you."

The man snorted, waved his hands and said: "Stop talking nonsense, and see the truth under your hands!" Nai raised the big knife in his hand and rushed over.

How could Gao Ying let Yao'er, a half-grown child, fight with others?Moreover, in his eyes, Mr. Jarvis is the future military adviser, who cannot easily go to the battlefield, so he hurriedly blocked the front with a gun: "Don't bully the children, Gao will fight with you."

At this moment, Jia Cong and the others got up early, taking advantage of their young age and short stature, they quietly wandered around these small courtyards, good guy!There are many families, and my side has been firmly surrounded.
