The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Liu Dengxi arrested Gong Sanyi and others to a small courtyard, escorted them into three rooms and kept them separated.Not long after, I heard noises from the next door, I thought it was Master Jingyuan being taken out.After a while, someone came to apply Jinchuang medicine on him, and the man said: "Eunuch Liu saw that you are a talent to heal your wounds." Gong San also hurriedly thanked in a low voice.The man confiscated Gong Sanyi's dart pouch, sleeve quiver, and hundred-chain flying claws.After a long time, someone came and led him to a larger room.

Liu Dengxi sat on an earthen kang, pointed to the bamboo chair next to him and ordered him to "sit".Gong San also cupped his hands and sat down.Liu Dengxinai asked him: "Mr. Fan, do you know who is the teacher who you often talk to her about scriptures and Dharma?"

Gong San also hesitated for a long time before saying: "I know that I have a noble status, but I thought I might be a noble person."

Liu Dengxi glanced at him deeply: "Oh? Just thought about it? Has Mr. Fan thought about who her father is?"

Gong Sanyi hesitated for a longer time this time, and he refused to speak for a long time.

Liu Dengxi said coldly: "Mr. Fan must have thought that the father of this master is Prince Xianyi Zhong?"

Gong San also turned his head to look at Fang Liang: "She has become a monk, and who is her father has long since died."

Liu Dengxi snorted, "Isn't it a crime to have an affair with my aunt?"

Gong San also said straightforwardly: "It's just romantic, and the officials don't care anyway. Besides, no one dares to care about her based on her status."

Liu Dengxi's face darkened: "You still have an affair with her even after you clearly know that she is the king of sin, obviously you are not afraid of being dragged into trouble?"

Gong San also hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's just a sister-in-law, who would know? If it wasn't for... something bad happened, she would have been a princess by now, how could it be my turn to kiss Fangze, a little grassroots person?" ..."

"Puchi!" Liu Dengxi laughed, squinting at Gong Sanyi.It wasn't until Gong Sanyi made him stare furiously that he said, "Mr. Fan, do you know who I am?"

Gong San also raised his spirits and said: "At first I thought you were here to arrest... arrest..." His face was a bit embarrassing, and even the roots of his ears were red. "Looking at the current situation, it must not be. I just can't guess who the husband is."

Liu Dengxi said: "I am from the court."

Gong San also muttered: "The world is in chaos, how can the imperial court have the time to care about such romantic affairs?"

"That's right." Liu Dengxi said loudly, "Because the world is in chaos, we must die for the emperor."

Because of looking closely at Gong Sanyi, he saw that he was so indifferent to looking away, that he almost rolled his eyes.Gong San is also an old spy who has worked for decades, since he has taken his guard lightly, it is very difficult to see the flaws.And the night clothes this old guy was wearing and the dart pouch, flying claws, arrow sleeves and other things he was wearing were all used by ordinary people in the green forest, Liu Dengxi had already regarded him as a thief in most of his mind.At such an old age, he still has an affair with his aunt, and knowing that the aunt is the king of crimes, it shows that he has no law and is full of lust.It's just that this person must have other benefits besides his martial arts, otherwise Princess Jinyang would look down on him.Then he pretended to say: "Since you have nothing to do with the Sin King, I'll ask you something, and I can let you go if I make it clear."

Gong San also hurriedly asked: "What about her?"

Liu Dengxi snorted.

Gong San also persuaded: "my lord, she is just a girl. It's a pity that the dignified golden branches and jade leaves are reduced to Ziyi Buddha. The fault of her father can't reach her. Besides, that one is dead, even if there is a big crime It's over. Why bother to pester her?"

Liu Dengxi sneered and said, "How do you know she's not guilty?"

Gong San also spoke righteously: "What can a sister-in-law who has no strength to restrain a chicken do?"

Seeing how fast he answered, Liu Dengxi knew that he didn't know everything, so he stared at him and said, "Don't underestimate my aunt, it's not difficult to send a letter or hide someone. Let alone come up with an idea or do something. .”

Gong San also hurriedly said: "Woman, you have long hair and knowledge... Ahem, I don't have much knowledge anyway, and it's not her turn to give advice."

Liu Dengxi narrowed his eyes: "Since it's not her turn, it must be the master's idea?"

Gong San also hurriedly waved his hands: "I'm not one of them..." Immediately, he realized that he had slipped and shut his mouth quickly.

Liu Dengxi laughed out loud, and Gong San also turned to look at the window.After laughing, Liu Dengxi said, "Who are they?"

After a long while, Gong San also said: "I really don't know. It's just that I saw a general who looked like a general come to see her. The man was very respectful, and the teacher liked to ignore him." He couldn't help puffing out his chest, with a smile on the corner of his mouth He stroked his beard intentionally.

"What does that person look like? How old is he?"

"Very young, only in his 20s. He is more than eight feet tall, and Fangzheng has a dark face."

Liu Dengxi naturally knew that most of the generals in Prince Yizhong's line were removed back then, so he recalculated from the beginning to make sure that no fish slipped through the net in Beijing.It's just that there are still many who haven't been eradicated. If the general is young, it is quite credible. "What armor do you wear?"

Gong San also shook his head: "I didn't wear any armor, just a commoner's head. It's just that he looks like a military master, and he has four or five servants with him. When he talks to the teacher, everyone is standing outside. He looked like he was on guard, so I knew he was a major general even if he wasn't a general."

Liu Dengxi nodded and said, "Mr. Fan has some good eyesight. Do you know what that man's name is?"

Gong San also said: "I don't know. When dealing with nobles, I still know the rule of 'don't ask what is not appropriate'. I am afraid that it is not difficult for my lord to meet that general."

"Oh?"

Gong San also said: "Just wait. I see his dog-legged posture towards the teacher. Since the teacher is in your hands, he will come to rescue you sooner or later. The teacher is only a woman, and I hope you don't make things difficult. to her."

Liu Dengxi sneered and said, "You feel pity for the woman and the jade. Since you betrayed her, aren't you afraid that she will blame you in the future?"

Gong San also said with a smile: "Master doesn't like to see him, he always comes to pester you, if my lord gets rid of him, I think my wife won't be offended. My wife is harmless to my lord, so why not keep her? Roses are red and bright The incense is only thorny, just pull out the thorns, and the flowers are still very beautiful."

Liu Dengxi was stunned: "Mr. Fan is so thoughtful!"

Gong San also waved his hands again and again: "A grassroots man, where did he come from such a big heart! I just want to live a normal life, and don't get into trouble with some strange things."

Liu Dengxi looked at him and said, "Sir, you are self-effacing. You are more than just a mediocre man. I am afraid that you have made great achievements in your early years."

Gong Sanyi went to stroke his beard again, shaking his head triumphantly: "No, it must be the best. I'm getting old too..." At the same time, he glanced eagerly at Liu Dengxi, as if expecting Liu Dengxi to ask him about his achievements .

If he humbled himself a few words at this moment, Liu Dengxi would still look up to him a few times; but as a prisoner, he still boasted that he was once a master.Liu Dengxi has been a spy for many years, and he knows all the powerful people in the imperial court like the palm of his hand, but he has never heard of such a person; he immediately thinks that he is just a grass bandit with a lot of skill, some ability in the green forest.She laughed secretly in her heart that Princess Jinyang was really hungry, willing to have any man, and didn't care about her status.Thinking about it again, in her current situation, she is only worthy of such a clever green forest bandit who has never seen the world.

Nai asked Gong Sanyi some more questions, but never asked him about his outstanding achievements.Seeing that this person really didn't investigate everything, and was looking forward to monopolizing the Princess Jinyang, he ordered someone to send him back to his house.

In the next few days, people often interrogated him. He pretended to be watertight, but Liu Dengxi said a lot of things that attracted Liu Dengxi to love him.And often heard Master Jingyuan and Miaoyu being taken out of the house.Fortunately, Jingyuan didn't know about the important matter, and Miaoyu was out of it. Liu Dengxi believed Gong Sanyi's words that the general would come to rescue her sooner or later. people.A few days later, Gong San also heard the commotion outside in his dream, he couldn't help secretly happy, and guessed that the disciples had made a move.Then came the exchange of hostages.

After saying these things, Gong San also stroked his beard with a smile, quite satisfied.

Gong Kun explained in detail how they made plans, how they screened out He Shun, and how they caught Liu Dengxi.Gong San also nodded again and again: "This plan is very good! Today we are afraid of Princess Jinyang, and they are afraid of the Seventh Prince, so it will be safe for a while."

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "It's all for others to pay, Liu Dengxi can't stay."

Gong San also said: "Keep him and cause some trouble for Situ Pan."

Jia Cong said: "He is too skilled, and he is an old eunuch. People are prone to extremes when they are old, and disabled men like eunuchs are even worse. If we don't pay attention to something, others can wait for a while. Wait, let me try to coax him, but he may not be able to wait. There are many people who are making trouble for Situ Pan, and he is one of them. Besides, even if he is gone, isn’t there still the coachman?”

Gong San also said: "Do you have a way to kill him?"

Jia Cong winked and said, "You can try."

Gong San also gave a "huh".He didn't bother to care about it anymore, he knew in his heart that this group of children is now young, and asked: "Whose idea of ​​'General Ding'?"

Jia Cong said: "Obviously it was Zhu Tong's idea! We don't know who under Prince Yizhong's command had seen the Tiger Talisman that day."

Gong San also snorted: "You managed to subdue him well. The arrangement was also perfect." He sighed again, "I don't know where that child is now. That's all." He turned to look at Shi Qiusheng, "Have you done your homework?"

Shi Qiusheng hurriedly said: "I did it!" and immediately took out the homework of the previous days from his bosom.He carries it with him every day.

Jia Cong said with a "Oh": "Everyone, we really fell out of favor~~ Let's go, don't hinder the intimacy between master and apprentice here, and cook noodles! I'm starving to death."

Everyone laughed; Shi Qiusheng blushed and was at a loss; Gong San also ordered him to be ignored.

On the other side, when Liu Dengxi and others returned to the residence, a doctor came to look at the injury first, and praised: "The treatment is very proper, and it will be cured in just a few days."

The coachman thought: "They don't want to make trouble, I'm afraid they are telling the truth."

When the doctor went down, others first told Liu Dengxi what had happened in the past few days.Liu Dengxi nodded repeatedly when he heard what Jia Cong taught the Seventh Prince, and praised: "He is not ambitious." They asked that "General Ding." Liu Dengxi said, "When Prince Yizhong did something bad, the late emperor would The Jingying Jiedu envoy Ding Chengwu killed all his families. He had a son, Ding Chu, who was famous all over the capital when he was five years old because of his photographic memory. He just escaped and was never caught. Counting his age, he should be 26-[-]." Suddenly, they all praised Eunuch Liu for his extensive knowledge and knowledge.

But at this moment, there was an urgent dog barking outside, everyone was startled, and the driver Fang ran out in a hurry.

When I opened the door, I saw a big yellow dog barking at their gate, and a panic-stricken man beside him shouted, "Wangcai! Don't make noise! ​​Come here!" Seeing the driver come out, he hurriedly laughed , "Uncle, I don't know why it is like this."

The coachman frowned and said, "Hurry up and get rid of it! I can't sleep because of the noise!"

The farmer said yes again and again, and called Wangcai.Wangcai barked for a long time, looking at the farmer aggrievedly.The farmer stomped his feet and said, "Go quickly! Otherwise, I will beat you!" Wangcai turned his head to look at the door and barked twice. Pick up the dog legs, dawdle away.The farmer apologized to the coachman repeatedly, yelled at Wangcai, and followed him away.

The coachman went back to the house and talked about what happened just now. Someone laughed and said, "The kitchen is cooking chicken for Mr. Liu. The dog has a good nose. No one has heard it before." Doubt, heard the words and put it down.

He also ordered people to go to the edict prison to find the jailer and inquire about the seal of the false edict that day, and it turned out that "you are ordered by heaven to live forever".They believed "General Ding" seven or eight points.

The coachman said: "I just don't know who is the one who robbed the prison."

Liu Dengxi thought: "Hired bandits to rob the prison with false edicts, rescued more than a dozen confidantes of the saint, and sent them back after the world was at peace. Obviously it was done by loyal people. I have counted the government and the public, but I can't think of who it is."

Chen Shi called out hesitantly: "Elder-in-law..."

"Ok?"

Chen Shi said: "I suspect that the Rongguo Mansion did it."

Liu Deng liked to hang up and stood up: "What?!"

Mrs. Chen said: "The people who make this plan are bold and out-of-the-box. Dare to make false edicts—even though the seal text is false—there are not many who have the courage. Lin Hai and Su Zheng are all the gentlemen of the three families. Jia Huan I don’t know about Jarvis for the time being; judging from the past three or four days with Jia Cong, he respects Lin and Su very much. But how can ordinary people think of such a strategy as hiring bandits? Jia Cong has a wide range of knowledge, listen to him It is often like a horse flying in the sky. It can talk about the independence of the United States from tea, from the United States to the ancient Mayan country, and then went around the ancient Egyptian country, and finally returned to the ancient Shu country. I can figure it out. Besides, their family has sold stolen goods for all kinds of people in recent years, and it is very common to recognize bandits. They have also made a lot of money, starting from 1000 taels of silver."

The coachman said: "Then why didn't he just save Lin Hai and Su Zheng? He also brought together eleven other adults."

Chen Shi said: "The traitor Liu Tong was in power at that time. If he dared, Liu Tong would have to confiscate his family and destroy his family in the Rongguo Mansion the next day. Besides, I heard from Mr. Gao Changzhi that when they were in Hengwuyuan, there were two It is the largest and best room in the room, and there is a scroll hanging in one of them, which reads, "The water on the river is like the sea". Because there is the word "Ru Hai" in it, Mr. Lin said that the room was prepared for him. It's inconvenient for others to refute. Master Su took advantage of his acquaintance with Master Lin to go to the next room. "On the river, the water is like the tide of the sea" is just the title of a poem. How can there be a poem title hanging in the room? I'm afraid The purpose is to imply that the house is prepared for Lin Hai. Jia Cong is very fond of eyes."

After hearing this, Liu Dengxi thought about it for a while, and said: "That's right! Jia Cong is bold and affectionate. When he was nine years old, he dared to ask the Nan'an Palace for his elder sister, and even turned against the Palace. He is really courageous."

Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Not only that, he actually beat the old concubine Nan'an in front of Huo Sheng at the gate of her mansion. It's his luck that Huo Sheng didn't kill him."

Liu Dengxi went on to say: "He is also smart and evasive. He was like this when he was very young." He couldn't help clapping his hands happily, "Good boy, good boy! The emperor is very lucky to have such loyalty!"

The coachman said from the side: "I look at him, but he can't really be regarded as Zhongliang, but the two adults Lin and Su are Zhongliang, and he follows the master as a disciple."

Liu Dengxi said: "It doesn't matter whether you are loyal to yourself or follow your husband. Loyalty is good anyway. In the early years, Situ Pan once said that those who fear the law will be bound by the law, and some things can only be done well by those who are not afraid of the law. Hiring bandits How could Lin Hai and Su Zheng come up with such a plan? The two lords are loyal and loyal. With the two of them, are you afraid that Sanjia will go to Situ Pan? The two lords really taught three good disciples. Available, available!" He ordered Chen, "Go back to Rongguo Mansion. There is no strong opponent in their mansion. Ding Chu is both civil and military. I am afraid that the Seventh Prince is not safe. You can rest assured. Besides, these three Jia Among them, Jia Cong is the most useful one for us right now, we can discuss with him and borrow his wisdom when we encounter problems."

Chen should go down.

The coachman hesitated and said, "Eunuch, do you trust him so much?"

Liu Dengxi sighed: "Even if I don't believe him, I also believe in Lin Hai and Su Zheng. If I dare to raise the Seventh Prince, I have to believe him. Nowadays, there are very few loyal ministers, let alone those who are loyal and capable. If you don't believe him, how can you trust him?" Can you use him? Talent is rare."

The coachman bowed his head and said "yes".After a while, Mrs. Chen went back to Rongguo Mansion.

It was the third watch of the night, and everything was silent.A family member of General Shenwu's mansion was on patrol, and suddenly heard a rapid "嗖", like an arrow in the army, he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" He immediately lit a torch and searched for the sound.Not long after, I found an arrow book in the garden, and hurriedly woke up Feng Tang and Feng Ziying.

The father and father hurriedly put on their clothes and got up to see that the arrow belonged to the Imperial Forest Army!The letter on the headband left an address in a neat and neat pavilion style, and on the back it said, "The old thief Liu Dengxi is here."
