The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

However, it was said that the servants of the Jia family, the Jiang family and the Lin Luan family were all suspected of colluding with outsiders, and two of them were killed violently. Jia Cong did not know why.After leaving Feng Ziying's place, he never went back to the residence, but went straight to Shi Li's house to ask him if he had any clues.

When he got to the door and pushed it, the guy didn't close the door, and he and Liu Xiaoqi were lying in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, with two rattan reclining chairs and a table full of food and drink.Jia Cong gritted his teeth: This guy has already kidnapped Liu Xiaoqi.Nai stepped forward and shouted: "It's dawn~~"

Shi Li put a veil on his face and hummed, "The sun is quite round tonight."

"Nonsense, it's obviously crooked." Jia Cong stepped forward and lifted the veil casually, "Hey, something happened."

Shi Li was still awake: "Huh?"

Jia Cong then recounted what happened today, and finally asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"How would I know." Shi Li said, "It's too hot today, we both stayed in the yard all day without going out, and drank several jars of wine." Jia Cong kicked the leg of the chair.

Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid I really have to ask Mr. Feng to go to Jia Huan's yard to have a look, what if there is something wrong?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "He will bring someone over tomorrow. I'm so bored." Looking down at Shi Li, who was about to fall asleep again, he also knew that Liu Xiaoqi was there, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to leave angrily.

After returning to the mansion for a while, Chen Ruijin hadn't come back yet, so Jia Cong had no choice but to think about it in the courtyard with his head in his arms as he thought about making dinner.Chen Ruijin didn't come back until the second watch.He served tea and poured water for a while as usual, and asked her to slow down, "Do you have any thoughts about killing Lin Luan's maid and Mrs. Jin?"

Chen Ruijin said: "I killed Mrs. Jin."

"what?"

Chen Ruijin is also busy today.First, he secretly followed Jia Cong to Feng Ziying's place.Jia Cong was still on the way, so she came back first and interrogated the golden lady, and silenced her without asking anything.This golden lady is not even considered a meticulous work, she is just bought by the empress dowager to deliver a message.Now that Yinfengju has fallen into the hands of Ma Sili, it is better not to let the people of King Yan know about that line, and it is not bad to let the Liu family carry the flag.

He rushed to Wang's noodle shop and reported to Wang Jiang's.When Feng Ziying's people first went to test, Wang Jiangshi realized that this person was not an ordinary noodle customer.After hearing what Chen Ruijin said, he made a decisive decision: "I will abandon this shop first." The two discussed the meeting again, and they felt that it would be best to cover it up with an affair, and Xue Pan just came here a few days ago.So they made up the story of Xue Baochai coming to threaten the little widow.After Chen Ruijin left, Wang Jiangshi tidied up a little, and told the neighbors with a sad face that life was difficult and he went to pawn shop to pawn things.After this trip, I never went back to the noodle shop.

Chen Ruijin turned around and went to Xue's house to discuss with them how to fool Feng Ziying tomorrow.Several people arranged for half a day, and let Xue Pan only say that he got a letter outside, and heard that Wang's noodle shop had a way to buy smuggled breech-loading Western firearms, which were two times cheaper than Hongguji, but the quantity was very small.Xue Pan does not fight wars, so it is very suitable for him.I thought it would be difficult for Xue Pan to deal with Feng Ziying.Unexpectedly, he waved his hand: "It's nothing! Ziying won't doubt me. I'm a big fool Xue." Liu Aiyun and others were right after thinking about it. The more familiar with his temperament, the less suspicious Xue Pan would be. If you can't coax others, you can't coax friends.

Finally, she walked back to Ma Sili's residence.It turned out that Wang Jiangshi ordered him to send someone to look for Lin Luan a few days ago, Lin Luan responded with a few vague words, saying that she might not be able to go back to Rongguo Mansion now.

After hearing this, Jia Cong broke his fingers and said, "It seems that four of them were killed and one was missing. It's really a coincidence. The shopkeeper at the head of Yinfengju was Shi Limie's mouth. Fengju. Boss Wang is a eunuch. He went back to the Forbidden City to protect the Empress Dowager, but he didn’t die. You took care of Mrs. Jin. So, what happened to Lin Luan’s little girl?”

Chen Ruijin asked: "Did Feng Ziying find anything in his work?"

"It was poisoned to death." Jia Cong said, "But I didn't find out what it was and how it was poisoned. Because the maid has been followed by spies since she left the house, and she has never eaten anything."

While the two were talking, Shi Li jumped down from the courtyard wall and shouted, "You two, please stay safe."

Jia Cong glanced at him sideways: "Uncle Shi is free? The little lover is gone?"

"Let's go." Shi Li said, "It's been three o'clock after eating and drinking, and he still refuses to stay overnight~~ Uncle Shi is so pitiful." He went straight to sit down opposite Jia Cong.

Jia Cong then told what the two of them had guessed just now, and asked, "Do you have any thoughts?"

Shi Li rubbed his chin: "Yes, but I don't want to talk about it right now."

"what?"

"I don't want to tell you two for the time being." Shi Li said, "Anyway, I have a good idea. I'll go around my brother's yard and have a look." After saying that, he pulled away and left.

Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin looked at each other for a while, and Chen Ruijin said, "I'm tired today. Since he wants to take care of it, I'll take a rest."

Jia Cong hurriedly said, "I'll shake your shoulders with you." The two of them ignored it, and they didn't even know when Shi Li left.

The next day, Feng Ziying really led people to Rongguo Mansion, and searched Jia Huan's yard carefully, and found nothing wrong.Feng Ziying walked around the house for half a day, and suddenly realized that there was something wrong with a big pine tree bonsai outside, so she stared at it for a long time.

Jia Cong followed him all the way around, and couldn't help asking: "Is this thing wrong?"

Feng Ziying said: "It seems that something is wrong, I can't think about it."

Jia Cong walked around the bonsai several times: "It's pretty nice, there's nothing wrong with it." Feng Ziying still stared at it.Jia Cong asked, "Do you know bonsai? Are you an expert?"

Feng Ziying shook her head: "I don't understand."

"Why don't you invite someone who knows how to do it?" Jia Cong remembered that Wang Fu, the master who played the piano from the palace, went outside to buy a few small bonsai to cut and play with himself. He was an expert, so he sent a servant Go back to Pear Fragrance Court and invite him.

Suddenly Wang Fu came and saw the bonsai and immediately said: "This pine has been touched."

"Huh?" Jia Cong pointed at the pot and said, "Even moss has grown, it's obvious that no one has touched it for a long time."

Wang Fudao: "There are many kinds of moss. This bonsai is placed in a sunny place, and it is summer now, so it is not like this kind of moss. This kind of moss grows in a cool place with plenty of water."

Jia Cong and Feng Ziying looked at each other, and Feng Ziying ordered: "Dig it out!"

Wang Fu hurriedly said: "This old slave is here to dig! This pine grows very well, and it is a blessing for the family! Don't let those boys mess with the shovel."

Jia Cong said: "Okay, okay, sir! I said Uncle Fu, you can't change your old self-proclaimed! What are you slaves, slaves."

Wang Fu said with a smile: "Recently, I seldom talk about it. Didn't I meet Mr. Feng?"

Feng Ziying said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, the Empress Dowager only occasionally invites people to enter the palace to play music, and the Empress Dowager often refuses to agree." Wang Fu bowed deeply to him silently.

Wang Fu wanted to go back to Lixiangyuan to get his shovel and other things. Jia Cong said: "It's such a hot day, I just send the boys to get it. There are guys in this yard, why don't you just go get it?"

Wang Fu refused: "Those boys are clumsy, don't break my guy. There must be no decent people here." He had no choice but to order someone to take care of him with a parasol.

Seeing that Wang Fu had disappeared, Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong and said, "You treat him like a guest."

Jia Cong said: "Fu Bo's piano is really high-level. I always feel that it is too wasteful to let him play the piano at home. I asked him if he would go to Liu Aiyun's place and listen to so many; he was scared. Alas, these deep-rooted concepts ...Liu Aiyun's opera art is also art."

"What's one bundle and two bundles?" Feng Ziying said, "Don't you like to listen to operas?"

"I don't like to listen to operas." Jia Cong said, "But it doesn't prevent me from knowing that Liu Aiyun is really a big man. Without real skills, how can he get his current status just by hype. By the way, Brother Feng, Uncle Fu Do you know what's going on at home?"

Feng Ziying said: "I asked people to ask the Jiaofang Secretary, and they all thought he was dead."

"Forget it, let him do as he pleases." Jia Cong leaned back on the chair with his hands behind his neck, "It doesn't necessarily mean that the whole family is reunited to be happy. It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to stay together." Feng Ziying didn't say a word.

When Wang Fu came back, he carefully dug out the pine bonsai, feeling distressed: "Which clumsy person changed the bonsai last time! It hurt the roots."

Jia Cong said: "Don't worry about it, pine trees are the most vigorous, and they will grow back in a short time. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Wang Fu nuzzled: "What is that?"

When everyone looked at it, something appeared in the basin.Someone dug it out and gave it to Feng Ziying, and it turned out to be a rag doll.Jia Cong shuddered immediately: "Witch Gu?"

Feng Ziying said: "It's probably true. Please Lao Fubo to look again, is there anything else wrong?"

Wang Fu said repeatedly, "Don't be a bother", wandered around the house and courtyard for a few more times, and saw that three large bonsai were not suitable, and found four witchcraft dolls in total.Both Feng Ziying and Jia Cong thanked him.

Taking a closer look at these four dolls, the curse these days is really simple and rude.The four female dolls all have their birth dates hidden inside, and they probably belong to Princess Jian'an based on their age.Several steel needles were inserted into the abdomen, as a curse for Princess Jian'an's infertility or tire failure.Jia Cong gritted his teeth and said, "What a black heart."

Feng Ziying thought of something else.Because the Liu family left the palace in Da Nei secretly, they did not alert the guards of the Imperial Forest Army; the Empress Dowager also never told the people of King Yan, in order not to reveal their shortcomings; therefore Feng Ziying did not know that they were no longer in Da Nei.He was thinking now that Jia Cong must marry Chen Ruijin; Chen Ruijin was born as a female guard in the inner court and could not have a son; Jia Lian had only one son.In the future, it is impossible to say that Jia Cong will adopt Jia Huan's son to inherit the incense.Jia Huan also made a public promise that he would never accept two colors for life, and he was also a son-in-law.If Princess Jian'an had no children, Jia Huan and Jia Cong might have no offspring.And this messy affair also involved the Liu family in Ouchi.Although King Yan recruited some people from the inner guards, none of them were descendants of the Liu family, and they knew very little about the Liu family.Up to now, I don't know if they are considered as the empress dowager's people.The last time the guardians around the empress dowager defected, the Liu family seemed to stand by and watch.Or the Liu family is like a monk in a temple, not guarding a certain master, but guarding the person on the dragon chair.Will this matter have anything to do with Ouchi Liu's family?

His mind was wide open, Jia Cong was already examining the puppet, and said, "Aren't witchcraft dolls made of wood? Why is this made of cloth? Brother Feng, can you find out the cloth?"

Feng Ziying looked at it and said: "This is an ordinary cloth, and it may not be useful even if it is found out. Forget it, I will check it out." But he ordered people to put away the four dolls. "Do you have Princess Jian'an's horoscope? That's a pair. If it's accurate..."

Jia Cong shouted: "That's right! How can ordinary people have her character in their hands?"

Feng Ziying said: "Your family will check again carefully, and I will go to Xue Dafool ​​to ask."

Jia Cong clasped his fists together: "Please." Nai lowered his eyebrows and looked at the burden holding the doll, and said with a sneer, "Also, the person who made this is an amateur. This thing is useless." Feng Ziying knew that he knew some magic, so he clicked nod.

Feng Ziying left the Rongguo Mansion, went back to her own yamen first, and ordered people to check the four witch dolls; then asked Wu Zuo if there was any progress.

Wu Zuo said: "I really don't know what kind of poison it is. But it is definitely not an ordinary poison. Medicine."

"What is an ordinary poison. Medicine?"

Wu Zuo said: "Such as arsenic, aconitum, heartbroken grass, oleander, etc., ordinary people who know medicine can try to get them. The poison that this little maid is poisoned must be carefully prepared, and it is definitely not available to ordinary people. I’m afraid that ordinary rich families may not be able to have it.”

"You suspect that it came from the palace."

Wu Zuo nodded: "Exactly. Although this subordinate is not talented, he has seen hundreds of poisons and medicines in the world."

Feng Ziying nodded and said: "This case is indeed related to the palace." Leaving aside Liu's family, Lin Luan and her Mojing just came out of the palace not long ago, and her grandfather was still the director of the imperial hospital.And spies came to report that the little widow from Wang's noodle shop went out to pawn things, disappeared in the crowd, and never went back, and no one in the pawn shop near their home had seen her.

So he went to Xue's house again, and it was in vain.Xue Pan followed the nonsense compiled by Chen Ruijin, Liu Aiyun and others, and used the firearms smuggling business as a cover, and he really fooled Feng Ziying.It's just that the secret work of the Jiang family may have been wiped out. Last night, a woman next to Xue Baochai threw herself into a well.

At the other end, Feng Ziying was sent away, and Jia Cong ordered someone to tidy up Jia Huan's yard, but he still went to work in the Imperial Academy.Just now I explained clearly to the adults in charge of this matter why the physical education class was held, and someone from Rongguo Mansion came to look for him, and it was Jia Zheng who sent him.

The kid said happily: "Master Cong! The second master sent me to announce the good news, and asked the third master to go back quickly."

Jia Cong was already fat, but now it's hot, and it took him so much time to talk to a few nerds to understand that "a strong body is the capital of a child's future", he was annoyed, and said casually: "What happy event? Could it be that one of his little aunts is going to be successful again? How old is he and can he have children?"

The servant smiled obsequiously and said, "Even if there is such a thing, it's not a big deal, so why disturb the third master." The child blinked in a sly way, "Mr. Cong is very happy! Someone came to tell Mr. Cong about marriage. "

"Ahem..." Jia Cong happened to be drinking tea, so he didn't choke, so he said after a long time, "Second Uncle is right! Who dares to talk about marriage to me with such a big face?"

The young man said: "It's our family's relatives, the grand master of the Qi State Mansion is here! He said he wants to betroth their young lady to Third Master Cong."

Jia Cong fell off the chair with a "plop" and fell on his back.

The Grand Master of the Qi State Mansion - happened to be Chen Ruijin's biological father.
