The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that the Liu family in Da Nei left the palace quietly, the Empress Dowager was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, those who want to leave can't be kept after all. Rebellion has its own punishment."

Dai Quan regretted endlessly: "The old slave was coaxed by them until yesterday, only thinking that they were really framed by others, and they were really loyal."

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "It's such a coincidence, everyone who fled is named Liu."

After a while, Dai Quan said cautiously again: "Empress Dowager, at least...the shop is still in our hands."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "What's the use? Didn't you hear it? Even the account books are in the Liguo Mansion. Lao Jiu and Zhao Cheng both know that the shop belongs to their family. Can the Ai family still be called the Ai family's?" Does Aijia have evidence?"

Dai Quan thought for a moment: "This is indeed the reason." After thinking for a while, "Empress Dowager, to this day, this old slave wants to sneak out of the palace and go to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Cong. This person has a strange idea. Think of ways that ordinary people can't think of."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "He is not loyal."

Dai Quan said: "He's not a traitor either. He's just standing on the dry shore, which is better than going into the water. Besides, the Seventh Prince is in their house. Whether he owns the Seventh Prince or not, it's all rooted in him." The thorn between him and Situ Pan."

The Empress Dowager looked up at the door for a long time, and sighed: "Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and there is really no one else." Dai Quan knelt down and kowtowed.

This afternoon, a peddler selling purses in Lixiangyuan knocked on the door to sell goods. Jia Cong was startled, it was Dai Quan!He hurriedly leaned forward and whispered, "Hey, you're not afraid of being recognized."

Dai Quan said with a smile: "Few people recognize Zajia in the first place."

Jia Cong shrugged: "That's right. Sit inside to cool off." Dai Quan nodded and followed him in.Nai turned his head and took a peek, seeing Lin Luan playing with a fat white baby in the corridor, he was secretly delighted.

In the hall, Dai Quan sighed softly: "Mr. Jia, do you know Yinfengju?"

"I don't want to know!" Jia Cong said hastily, "An antique shop is getting more and more complicated. Whoever owns it, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

Dai Quan laughed and scolded: "You are a monkey, you hide when you encounter trouble." Nai whispered, "I actually ran that shop secretly for the little sage."

"Ah?!" Jia Cong shivered. "Sure enough, it's getting more and more chaotic."

Dai Quan sadly said: "Look at the current situation, Liguo Mansion wants to take it away."

Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I think it's good if they don't confess the little sage. Now that he's in his hands, don't think too much about it. The little sage has nothing to do with that shop."

Dai Quan's face turned cold: "Could it be that they swallow it for nothing?"

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Could it be possible for them to return it to the little saint?"

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "People from the miscellaneous family are still in charge of it, but they will have to take it away at any time."

Jia Cong was stunned when he heard the words: "Huh? You haven't taken it yet?" Dai Quan shook his head slightly.Jia Cong rolled his eyes, "That's why they don't want it. When the 'Four Generals Disrupted the Capital', the Liguo Mansion was safe and sound. The family background is deep, so you may not be able to look up to that shop. You still sell things in the palace... Hiss... "He suddenly fell silent.

Dai Quan held his breath and waited for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "What did Mr. Jia think of?"

Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "Eunuch Dai, did you make a mistake? If the Liguo Mansion wants that shop, they can just take it away. Is it worth keeping it for you? If you don't take it for nothing, don't take it. What do I think? Is he a scapegoat?"

Dai Quan sighed: "At first, the miscellaneous family really thought that they were helping the little sage to take the blame. I never thought..." He hesitated for a while, then whispered, "They left."

"what?"

"Liguo Mansion originally had someone in Da Nei as a hostage."

Jia Cong thought to himself, sure enough, nonsense is not the only skill of the young master, but a common talent of all human beings.He still shouted in his mouth: "How is that possible! The little sage himself is still a child. As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff. The Liguo Mansion is also an old family. If there are any hostages in the palace, they should be taken out a few years ago." gone."

Dai Quan sighed: "The hostage stayed in the palace because of his heavy oath."

Jia Cong frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "A while ago, the prince wanted that shop, so he said that the shop sold stolen goods. The soldiers and horses of the five cities checked, not only selling stolen goods, but also stealing and selling things from the palace. Then manage the government I came out to take the scapegoat and coaxed King Yan. In my heart, I would not take such a big scapegoat. Hmm... Could it be that the Liguo Mansion exchanged their hostages for helping the little sage to take the scapegoat? go out?"

Dai Quan was startled, and suddenly thought: Could it be that the Liu family didn't want Yinfengju?He straightened his back, and couldn't hold back once his brain opened.The Liu family in Da Nei had secret contacts with the Liguo Mansion, and both the late Emperor and the Supreme Emperor knew about it.It's just that those two families did it too secretly, they couldn't get any evidence, and the Liguo Mansion really had no one to use, so the Tian family didn't take it to heart.A few years ago, the Empress Dowager wanted to start a business outside, because her natal family had already driven King Yan out of the capital, so she entrusted it to Liguo Mansion.Liu Biao's old man is a hundred times stronger than their children and grandchildren, and he knows in his heart that the Da Nei branch is by no means comparable to his own.Heroes come out of troubled times.In the peaceful and prosperous times, they can still hang out in the house for decades; in today's world, if they have no titles but no skills, they are waiting to die slowly.If there are no internal traitors in the palace, everything is done by the Liguo Mansion, just to frame the Liu Family in front of the Empress Dowager, so as to calm their hearts...

The more he thought about it, the more he was right, the old eunuch couldn't help but clenched his fists, raised his head and asked Jia Cong, "Just guess who caused the incident of Yinfengju."

Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I don't know what to guess! Anyway, whoever benefits in the end is responsible for it."

Dai Quan nodded slowly, and said word by word: "That's right. Whoever gets the benefit is the one who did it." Nai closed his eyes for a while, got up and said goodbye.

Jia Cong sent him out, and saw Lin Luan coaxing Jia Jue from a distance.Dai Quan asked casually: "That child is so fat and white that he is really likable."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Cute, isn't it? That's my second uncle's youngest son, and now he's the baby of our house."

Dai Quan cast a sideways glance at him and said, "Third Master is very blessed."

Jia Cong snorted and said, "Your empress dowager forced it! I will give it away when elder brother Huan comes back from her honeymoon, and I have already bought a house for her." Before Dai Quan could speak, he rushed to say, "The empress dowager really deserves it!" It's outrageous, how can a granddaughter marry a woman! Is she the grandmother of her natal family?"

Dai Quan only thought that if he wanted this woman, he had to try to get rid of Jia Huan's name first, so he looked at him with a half-smile, waved his hand and said: "Anyway, the woman has been sent to your house, the miscellaneous family don't care. "Nai left.

Jia Cong watched him slowly disappear, thinking to himself: Dai Quan sneaked out of the palace himself, so we know they have no one else to use.Da Nei Liu's house should be gone.What about the three people at Chengbei Noodle House?Oh, there are only two now, and one is guarding the tunnel crossing outside the Forbidden City.The Liu family left them behind?

Thinking of this, Jia Cong turned to Chen Ruijin to discuss.Chen Ruijin said: "I have seen those three secretly, one is the female guard. The female guard is quite taboo to pretend to be a couple with the male guard, for fear that the relationship will be inconvenient to control. That Boss Wang is in his forties and has no beard. I suspect he is an eunuch .”

"Eunuch? Isn't it right? If it were eunuch Shi Li, wouldn't he be able to hear his squeaky voice?"

Chen Ruijin smiled and said, "It's not that all eunuchs have high-pitched voices. Although most of the eunuchs purify when they are young, some of them only purify after their voices have changed."

"So that's it." Jia Cong nodded and said, "These two eunuchs belong to the original group of 'no guys'. Then there should be no 'some guys' around the empress dowager."

Chen Ruijin said: "I grew up in the women's guard battalion, so I didn't know the Liu family. In the early years, Eunuch Liu once said that we female guards can't be regarded as the inner guards, as long as the inner guards practice martial arts and protect the master."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "That is, the male guards don't learn things that most of them don't need. What kind of shop, construction, spies, male guards learn less. The Liu family members are not allowed to learn. "Chen Ruijin nodded.Jia Cong shook his body, "Then may I think that most of the people who sell things and collect information for the Empress Dowager outside are mostly eunuchs, or her eunuchs have been recruited outside with money in the past two years."

"Probably so."

Jia Cong stretched his waist: "Does Shi Li know?"

"This is the noodle shop he took me to."

"Okay, let him take care of this first." Jia Cong let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm afraid there are female guards and eunuch guards in the palace."

"Oh."

Shi Li really didn't make the Empress Dowager feel comfortable.While Ma Sili was "playing with you" in Yinfengju, he learned more and more. People outside the palace of the Empress Dowager died unexpectedly one after another.Think about the beggars at the gate of King Yan's Mansion, the beggars at the gate of Liguo Mansion, the beggars at the gate of Rongguo Mansion; a soldier of the Imperial Forest Army passed by under the Han Bridge in the south of the city, and killed a beggar leader because of a western gun.

In the west of the city, there was a gambling house that had only been open for two years. When the gambling excitement was high in the middle of the night, a group of idlers rushed in and killed more than 20 gambling house thugs.The owner of the casino died the worst, his body was split in two.Several gamblers all said that they saw someone in the smashing place holding a western gun. The gun shot at the owner of the gambling shop, and then split open the corpse.The five-city soldiers and horses heard that they were even more afraid to investigate—only the elite of the imperial forest army can be equipped with Western firearms.The owner of this gambling shop is just an idle man from other places, he doesn't even have a wife, let alone relatives; it's hard to say what the origin of the Yulin Army is.Who doesn't know that Chengxi has been messed up since the treasurer Qin San left?

A house near the Forbidden City was robbed in the middle of the night.The owner of this house is very unlucky.He was a young fellow, and this house was his cousin's inheritance, and he was beaten to death by thieves as soon as he got it.Because two house owners died in a row, and the eunuch in the front was beaten to death by the eunuch of King Yan's third family, Zhao Cheng immediately guessed that this little thief had something to do with His Highness the Third Highness?So he didn't dare to act recklessly, and ordered people to temporarily seal the house, keeping it for later disposal.As for the "future" date, it's hard to say.

The Empress Dowager really believed that the Liu family was wronged.Both the beggar and the gambling house are top secret, the Liu family doesn't know anything about it.Mixed with regret, depressed and hard to let go, it was actually a disease of anger.Only in this way, the Liguo Mansion will definitely not be the mastermind behind the scenes, maybe it was instigated and used by others.There are still traitors, and they haven't been caught yet.

Since she was ill, the little sage had to come over to attend to her sickness.The Empress Dowager took his hand and said: "If Liu's family is here, our grandparents and grandchildren will be safer. It's a pity that the Ai family ran away in anger. Now, if there is an emergency, what should we do?"

The little sage's face changed, and he said: "Grandmother, Uncle Ninth... won't kill us. If you want to kill us, kill us early."

The Empress Dowager wept and said: "You don't understand... If he doesn't do anything, it's not guaranteed that others will do it." The little saint's face became more and more ugly.

For a while Dai Quan sent him back to the palace, but he ordered others to avoid it, and asked in a low voice: "Little saint, now you and the empress dowager are the only ones in this palace, don't hide anything from her. "The little sage bowed his head, his expression frightened.Dai Quan knew more and more that he had something important to say, so he persuaded him a few more times.The little saint was so forced that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had no choice but to say it.

A few days ago, a masked man in black suddenly broke into his bedroom.Before everyone understood what happened, the man knocked out all the eunuchs and maids in the room like a wind blowing.Nai took out a piece of paper from his bosom, put a dagger against the little saint's neck and ordered him to copy it again.The little saint was terrified and controlled by others, so he had to do it tremblingly.The meaning on the note was to let the Liu family out of the palace.

Dai Quan was shocked: "Why didn't you report such an important matter to the Empress Dowager!"

The little sage lowered his head and said, "I...don't dare..." Dai Quan stumbled and asked what kind of paper it was.The little sage smiled bitterly and said, "That was originally made by my study."

Dai Quan stood there in a daze for a long time, then sighed dejectedly: "I've lost my mind, I really can't keep it." He then decided that the Liu family had done it themselves.

A few days later, at midnight, seven assassins appeared from nowhere to assassinate the Empress Dowager, their martial arts were very strong.The Empress Dowager had some guards around, and they led the assassins to the outer hall for fear of hurting Yu Ping'er by hitting the mice.I don't want these assassins to carry Western firearms in their pockets. They haven't taken them out in the house, so they are rude outside.The Queen Mother's guards killed one of them in the blink of an eye.Someone flew over the eaves and walked on the tiles, wanting to go outside the palace to ask the Imperial Forest Army for help, but he was beaten down after walking less than fifty steps.The palace courtyard is deep, even though the gunfire of these fighting guns is loud, it cannot be heard outside the palace wall.

In just two quarters of an hour, the Empress Dowager was captured alive, and all the guards around her were dead.The old woman thought there was only death and no life, and she was so sad and angry that she didn't know where to start, so she yelled "Heavenly murdered rebellious officials and thieves".Before half a sentence was finished, an assassin casually grabbed a dead eunuch's shoe and threw it into her mouth, blocking it.The rest of the court ladies and eunuchs who were not good at kung fu were all tied up and blindfolded.The assassin worked tirelessly.First, he carefully searched for the fallen bullets to make sure that there were not many of them, and then moved all the corpses to the courtyard, untied the leather bag around his waist and poured kerosene on it.One of the assassins came back inside and swung a knife to split the ropes in the hands of the two eunuchs, then withdrew. The leading assassin dropped the fire pocket, and the flames shot into the sky.

The Forbidden City is really not small.When the imperial army rushed in, the empress dowager had been untied by the eunuchs and maids, and she was safe and sound.The body was burnt beyond recognition, and it was impossible to tell who it was.Naturally, the assassin had long since disappeared.I saw a piece of Xue Tao's note on the desk, on which was written in a correct pavilion style: "Does the Ninth Prince know that you are the tenth?"

Such matters are naturally not in charge of Zhao Cheng, but in charge of Feng Ziying.Feng Ziying ordered someone to temporarily move the Empress Dowager to another palace, took the note and looked at it for a long time, and sighed: "What Cong'er said is that the emperor's family is full of dog blood."
