The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

On the eve of the wedding between Jia Huan and Princess Jian'an, Mr. Zhao Cheng from Wucheng Military Division and Mr. Feng from the Prince's Mansion came to harass him, saying that the princess's dowry contained a lot of stolen goods.Fortunately, the two of them are still governors, and they never went to knock on the gate of Rongguo Mansion, and they came to knock on the door of Lixiangyuan quietly until the second watch.

Jia Cong looked at the two of them up and down for half a day, and said a long "Oh~~", "Master Zhao means that Princess Jian'an's dowry is inappropriate?"

Zhao Chengzhen smiled and said: "No, no. Someone gave evidence..."

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Wait, let's make it clear first. Master Zhao, do you dare to ask Princess Jian'an's name?"

Zhao Cheng said with a bitter face: "Third Master Cong, you know that the lower official is only a mere sixth-rank official..." Nai turned to look at Mr. Feng.Mr. Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Master Cong..."

Jia Cong didn't wait for him to speak, and then asked: "I don't know when Mr. Zhao found out about this matter. Could it be this afternoon, or tonight? Why didn't I hear about it when the dowry was piled up in Lizhi Lane a few days ago?" Does your lord know? By the way, Mr. Feng, your surname is Feng, do you recognize Feng Ziying?" Zhao Cheng's face suddenly turned ugly.Jia Cong knew that it was not accidental that the traitor's surname was Feng, so he couldn't help frowning, "Brother Feng, what the hell are you doing!"Feng Ziying is in charge of Situ Pan's spies, and he is the most incapable of colluding with Situ Pan's son.

Mr. Feng hurriedly said: "Master Feng Ziying doesn't know at all!"

"Oh, so he didn't know." Jia Cong shrugged and said, "Let's do it this way. The princess's dowry contained stolen goods, and the dowry was carried out from the prince's yard. This matter is very important. Mr. Zhao, please work hard. Go to Feng's residence and report a letter, and tell Brother Feng. If he comes, it can be seen that this matter is serious, serious, and important." Jia Cong raised his eyebrows, meaning that if Feng Ziying doesn't come, you must want to hide it He's making trouble, I won't let him do it, my lord.

Mr. Feng said: "There is no need to alarm Master Feng. Besides, those things are just borrowed from the prince's yard for a few days."

"If you don't alarm him, you can only alarm the lord." Jia Cong crossed his arms and said, "Anyway, we have never hidden anything in our house, so we are not afraid of being poked into it. Mr. Feng will not want to tell me that this matter is not a big deal."

Mr. Feng thought for a moment and said: "To be honest, this matter is extremely important. Third Master Cong really wants to go to Wang Ye, and Wan Sheng will not stop him."

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Okay! That's it. I will go to see the prince with you. Wait for me for a while, and I will change my clothes and come."

As soon as he turned around, Mr. Feng shouted: "Wait a minute. Third Master Cong, it's no wonder that Wan Sheng didn't remind you. It's really better not to alarm the prince."

"No, no, no! It's better to alarm him resolutely and resolutely for such a big matter." Jia Cong said, "Otherwise, I can't make it clear." Without stopping, he walked straight inside.

Zhao Cheng hurriedly went to see Mr. Feng, and Mr. Feng gave him a wink.Zhao Cheng caught up with Jia Cong in a few steps, pulled his arm and said in a low voice: "Master Cong, listen to me! Now there is only a little bit of suspicion, why don't we check it out quietly. If it's not the best; if it is, But it confirmed a guess, we will never touch the princess's dowry. The prince will come to watch the ceremony tomorrow, why bother to disturb his old man in the middle of the night?"

"If it doesn't matter, why bother us in the middle of the night?" Jia Cong said with a smirk, "If Mr. Zhao guessed right, wouldn't it be that I and you are working together for personal gain? You, Mr. Zhao, are fine; the prince is in the prime of his life. What is the meaning of the Rongguo Mansion and the crown prince working together for personal gain? Anyway, I am not short of money, so there is no need to hide the prince for ideas." Nai glanced back at Mr. Feng, and said loudly, "If I am the crown prince's aide, I will definitely persuade him. He must not hide anything from the prince. The prince is not something ordinary people can fool."

Zhao Cheng stamped anxiously beside him: "Master Cong misunderstood! That's not the case at all!"

"Since that's not the case, why are you hiding it from the lord?" Jia Cong spread his hands, "I lost face in front of the lord since I was young, so I don't care about losing face one more time."

Zhao Chengxi said in a low voice: "Master Cong, listen to the officials!" Nai whispered, "This matter has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion, but it is really a big deal. It's just a bit unbelievable, so I dare not report to the prince rashly." Then he hurried I said it all over again.

It turned out that a few days ago, someone used a piece of Xue Tao's note to secretly report that Yinfengju, a large antique shop, was colluding with bandits to sell stolen goods, but Zhao Chengben didn't dare to control it.However, within two days, someone from the Shizi's Mansion came to the door to hint that the supply of goods in Yinfengju was not correct.Zhao Cheng immediately thought that Xue Taojian was sent by the prince, and the prince wanted to find Yinfengju.Isn't Yan Kingdom the biggest son besides King Yan now?He didn't care about who was behind Yinfeng's residence, so he went over to investigate in person.Yinfengju naturally complained repeatedly and refused to admit it.Where does Zhao Cheng care about them?

If you don't check, you don't know, and if you check, you will be shocked!Many objects in this antique shop seemed to be things in the palace, and Zhao Cheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to check them again.But at this moment, someone from Shizi's residence came to ask about the case, Zhao Cheng didn't dare to hide it, so he told everything.The steward was shocked when he heard this, and hurried back to the government to report the letter.In less than two hours, this Mr. Feng came to the Yamen of Wucheng Bingmasi to examine and ask carefully.Zhao Cheng told him again.After hearing this, Mr. Feng ordered him to investigate secretly, not to alarm people for the time being.Zhao Cheng secretly investigated for a few more days, and suddenly realized that he had frightened the snake a while ago, and Yinfengju's actions were much more detailed and airtight.It's just that he has been sending policemen to watch them these days, but he hasn't seen any movement from above. He thinks that the person behind this shop is not the one he is most worried about.But if it wasn't him, Zhao Cheng's back would stiffen, and he harassed Yinfengju several times.

Three days ago, an old woman with a suspicious appearance went to Yinfengju and stayed for more than an hour before she came out.Zhao Cheng's people secretly followed the old woman, not wanting her to end up in King Yan's house in Lizhi Lane.Zhao Cheng's heart beat again.This afternoon, after a guy who went out to watch the fun early in the morning ran back to Yinfengju with a smile on his face, their chief shopkeeper suddenly became emboldened.He usually pretended not to recognize the few policemen pretending to be hawkers outside their shop, but today he purposely wandered in front of them and said some weird words.In the evening, the big shopkeeper invited a few guys to go to the Hualou to relax and relax. The fans who served them heard that he missed half a sentence: "It has been carried into Rongguo Mansion neatly." What else is neat and tidy today? Carried into Rongguo Mansion?Naturally, it is Princess Jian'an's dowry.

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Master Zhao means that there is an antique shop in Beijing called Yinfengju, which sells things from the palace. You suspect that these things were stolen from the palace. Now They packed the stolen goods into Princess Jian'an's dowry and brought them to our residence?" Zhao Cheng smiled flatly.Jia Cong tilted his head, "If the princess's dowry is stolen by someone by some means, may I ask where is the original dowry? They sent the things into our house, wouldn't they be afraid of our dispute?"

Then Mr. Feng said sullenly: "Is Mr. Cong not suspicious? The country of Lu has such a big idea, no matter how prosperous it is, how can it afford such a rich dowry." Zhao Cheng nodded embarrassingly beside him.

"You suspect that King Lu is the owner of Yinfengju and stealing things from the palace?" Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh, "Master Zhao doesn't know something. Most of the dowry of Princess Jian'an was not bought by King Lu, and what is it with that Yinfengzhai?" There is nothing to do with half a copper coin. In April, the wife of Boss Liu in Beijing went to Luzhou to visit relatives and met Princess Jian'an. The two hit it off immediately, and Mrs. Liu liked the princess very much. Most of the dowry was given by Mrs. Liu Princess makeup."

Zhao Cheng hurriedly asked: "Who is this Mrs. Liu?"

"Her man used to be a bodyguard in our family's Taiping Bodyguard Bureau." Jia Cong said, "Later, the old servant of Liu Bodyguard's family told him to marry a wife. He thought that if he had a wife, it would be inconvenient for him to be a knife-head licker again." It's bloody work, so I opened a small business." He smiled and said, "He is a good friend in our house."

Zhao Cheng suddenly understood.Princess Jian'an's dowry of ten miles of red makeup was originally given to her by her husband's family after a detour, and it was all from the Rongguo Mansion.It is well known that the Rongguo Mansion is rich, and the Rongguo Mansion has been openly selling stolen goods for more than ten years.Nai hurriedly turned to look at Mr. Feng.

Mr. Feng frowned slightly, and after thinking hard for a long time, he asked: "Listen to what San Ye Cong just said, Yinfengju has nothing to do with your mansion?"

Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "There is no need to hide the head and show the tail in our mansion. The properties below are all upright. I don't recognize any Yinfengju." Mr. Feng and Zhao Cheng looked at each other, obviously not convinced.Jia Cong suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Haha! I got it! No wonder you two are sneaky. Master Zhao, are you suspicious of the Yinfengzhai opened by the prince himself? That's right, who else can get things out of the palace except him !"

Zhao Cheng looked embarrassed, and said, "It must be...not."

Jia Cong said enthusiastically, "Lord Zhao must have thought so! Otherwise, why would you be timid? This is easy, so just ask him?" Zhao Cheng said nothing.

Mr. Feng coughed, "It's not very convenient for Mr. Zhao's official title."

Jia Cong clapped his hands again: "The more I think about it, the happier I am, hahaha...do you want me to ask for you?"

Mr. Feng hurriedly said: "It's not the prince, I have already tried to find out. Now I just need to find out that it is the King of Lu."

Jia Cong smiled coldly: "King Lu doesn't have that ability. I'm afraid it's the Rongguo Mansion to find out." Mr. Feng glanced at him and said nothing.Jia Cong said sternly, "Our house can't bear this blame. Whether it is true or not, we must invite Feng Ziying to come over and find out in person."

Mr. Feng looked at Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng stepped forward and said: "It's a trivial matter, don't alarm Master Feng."

Jia Cong looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you know why our Rongguo Mansion is trusted by the prince?"

"Eh..." Zhao Cheng thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Because the family is loyal."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "No. Because we never hide from the prince. Our house has been doing this kind of thing for many years, and we have never covered it up in front of the prince. He has always known. But we have no ability to steal from the palace. Things, I don't think King Lu or Concubine Ning have that ability." But he ordered a boy to go to Feng's house quickly and make sure to call Feng Ziying.It was quite funny to look back at Mr. Feng with a disappointed face.They originally planned that if Yinfengju had nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion and King Yan, they could secretly swallow it for the son.Jia Cong pretended to wonder, "Why is Mr. Feng disappointed?" Mr. Feng smiled wryly and shook his head; Zhao Cheng looked down at Qingzhuan.

Suddenly Feng Ziying came, Zhao Chengdui stepped forward to bow and bow with a face full of flattery, and that Mr. Feng also bowed with a stiff face.Feng Ziying looked at the two of them several times, but said nothing.Jia Cong said the matter from beginning to end.Feng Ziying looked at Mr. Feng coldly: "So it's for this." Mr. Feng took two steps back with his head down.

Jia Cong winked and hinted that he guessed that the two of them had something to do with each other, and said: "The princess has a lot of dowry, and the prince must have seen the list, most of which are prepared by our family. Let's go and have a look. If you are really betrayed I have the bag, and there is still one night, so I should have time to find them and come back." Feng Ziying nodded, and the four of them went to investigate together.

Because there are so many things, Jia Cong will be busy tomorrow, and Feng Ziying will also come to have a drink, so I only smoked a dozen boxes, and checked one or two items in each box.They all matched the dowry list, and none of them belonged to the palace.Feng Ziying smiled and looked at Zhao Cheng: "I'm afraid Mr. Zhao let the shopkeeper of Yinfengju play tricks." Zhao Cheng was ashamed.

Jia Cong said: "The joke is so big, is there something wrong with the shopkeeper? Whose shop are they?"

"I'll check it later." Feng Ziying glanced at Mr. Feng and told Jia Cong, "There are still doubts about this matter. How did the woman end up in Lizhi Lane after she came out of Yinfengju? Don't tell the lord first, find out later." .”

Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "It's not my business anyway, I'm too lazy to do anything."

Feng Ziying and the others left, and that Mr. Feng's face was really ugly.It was already past the third watch, and Jia Cong had lost the energy to settle accounts with Shi Li, so he hurriedly packed up and went to bed.

The next day was a day of great joy for Jia Huan, everyone inside and outside the house was happy and enthusiastic, everyone had a look of satisfaction on their faces, talking and laughing endlessly.Jia Zheng was naturally more joyous than others, he called Jia Huan to give him instructions for a long time, and even put on the groom's hat for him.Accompanied by Jia Cong to welcome the bride, the whole journey was very lively, and the idlers in Beijing passed another day of New Year.

In a blink of an eye, when they reached the gate of the house on Lizhi Lane, Jia Huan jumped off the horse and straightened his clothes.Jia Cong stepped forward to help, and said in a low voice, "You chased him back by yourself."

Jia Huan smiled and said, "I know."

Jia Cong breathed out and touched his nose: "I'm a little bit worried about your love at first sight. How do you know that you are suitable for each other if you haven't been together for a long time?"

Jia Huan gave him a sideways look: "Zhu Tong and his wife fell in love at first sight too? The son is not even his."

Jia Cong quickly raised two fingers and pressed his lips: "Why isn't the son his? It's just that they were not married when they were born. This is called 'Huanjun Mingzhu'."

Jia Huan pursed his lips: "A slip of the tongue. Don't worry so much, we have been writing letters for several years."

"...Hey, you are still pen pals." Jia Cong took out a note from his arms, "I planned to keep it for myself. If you want it, I will make it for you first."

Jia Huan took a look at the ten lines and said with a smile: "Where do you think these words come from? It's so empty."

"Empty words are all false. It's just that people marry for a lifetime, even if they are empty, they have to say a few words. You can't even say empty words." Jia Cong snorted, "Even sister Lin likes to hear such words. In terms of detachment, who can be more detached than her?"

"It makes sense." Jia Huan looked again, "Forget it, anyway, I'm not a face-saving person. So many people come to watch the excitement, so it's not good for them to come for nothing, right?" He held up the note in one hand Standing at the gate of the courtyard, with one hand behind his back.Everyone knew there was someone listening behind the door.He read it aloud. "From today onwards, I will only treat you well. I will pamper you and will not lie to you. I will do everything I promise you, and I will sincerely say every word to you..." After reading, he He made a group bow to the surroundings, "Everyone, elders, testify."

The door opened with a "squeak", and the welcoming audience cheered in unison, "Oh-oh--" Jia Huan couldn't help puffing out his chest, his heart pounding: he's about to marry a wife!
