It is said that Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin gossiped for a while and went back to the front. Mrs. Chen walked slowly and hadn't arrived yet.Jia Cong told the people in Rongxitang: "The two of them met, no." The Chen family and his son looked at each other in disbelief; Feng Ziying stared at him and said nothing.Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "Say no."

Elder Chen still couldn't believe it: "How could it be otherwise?"

Jia Cong said: "Uncle Chen is very eager to find relatives, and my nephew understands. It is neither, but it is a pity." He cupped his hands and asked Feng Ziying in a low voice, "Brother Feng, what's the matter?"

Feng Ziying said, "Some things."

Jia Cong nodded: "Go to the study outside and tell." Turning back to Jia Zheng, "I'm bothering my second uncle to entertain Chen Shishu." The next lost tight.But knowing that Feng Ziying is an important member of King Yan's command, he didn't dare to say anything, so he let them go.

Jia Cong then led Feng Ziying and Liu Si to the study outside and asked what was the matter.Feng Ziying pointed to Liu Si and said, "This is the fourth master of the Liu family."

Jia Cong blinked: "Which Liu family?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "The Liu family in Yinfengju."

The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "That's a mess..." He clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Si.

Feng Ziying recounted Lin Luan's death in detail.Jia Cong pretended to be astonished, and felt a little proud when he heard Liu Si's words that "killers are skilled and precise".Finally, Feng Ziying said: "Young Master Liu said that I have something to ask you."

Jia Cong turned to look at Liu Si, Liu Si cupped his hands and said, "Take a step to talk." The two of them left the study and went to the courtyard.Liu Sidao, "I suspect that Gao Hanlin's son was taken away by the palace."

"Huh?" Jia Cong was taken aback. "I can't."

Liu Sidao: "Our family has searched for a long time, but we haven't found any clues. If it wasn't for King Yan, it's only in the palace."

"Don't you know that a large group of guardian guards around the empress dowager defected?"

Liu Si blurted out: "Impossible!"

"Really." Jia Cong said, "Now there are only female guards left beside the Empress Dowager. The guards either defected or were assassinated by the defectors, and even took their 'baby' away. Don't you know? The defectors Say at least seven or eight, maybe more." Nai roughly said it based on the results of Feng Ziying's investigation in the palace that day.

Liu Si was stunned, pondered for a long time, and said: "Earlier, the Empress Dowager was sure that there was a traitor in her family, and she always suspected that it was our family."

Jia Cong patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, the Tian family has believed in eunuchs since ancient times." Liu Si moved slightly, a little uncomfortable.Jia Cong hurriedly withdrew his hands behind his back, and smiled apologetically, "No wonder Brother Feng is suspicious of your family. Gao is just a young master from an ordinary family, not even a dude, and he has never had any enemies. Even if he did, it's nothing He can't afford to provoke a big person, but the only unusual thing is to provoke a little widow from a noodle shop. The widow's husband died suddenly, and she has something to do with your family's Yinfengju."

Liu Si secretly sighed in his heart.Helping the Empress Dowager take the blame, but it never ends.Thinking: "What does the noodle shop do?"

Jia Cong said: "I heard that they are smuggling Western firearms."

Liu Sidao: "He is a son of Hanlin, what is he doing with the orphan of a gun smuggler?"

Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I have to ask him himself, or the Li Guofu. I said, why did you say this behind Brother Feng's back?"

Liu Sidao: "I don't want to get involved. Our family has nothing to do with the palace."

Jia Cong tilted his head: "I don't want to be targeted." Without waiting for Liu Si to speak, he hurriedly blocked, "Forget it, there is nothing wrong with being wise and safe. I also don't think it should have anything to do with people like you, Li Guofu It’s hard to say. An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Also, anyone may ignore your family, and the Liguo Mansion will never let your family go.” Liu Si remained silent.

Jia Cong returned to the study, but Liu Si did not follow.Jia Cong sat beside Feng Ziying and said, "Liu Si and his family are probably innocent."

Feng Ziying said: "Even if they didn't do it, there must be something to do with it."

Jia Cong rested his cheeks and thought for a long time, "Could it be like this." He took a piece of white paper and drew a circle on it with a pen. "Brother Feng, what is this?"

Feng Ziying said: "Isn't it just a circle?"

"It's boring. The sun, the moon, the cuju ball, the copper basin for washing your face, and the cooking pot are too round." Nai added two more strokes, "What about this?"

Feng Ziying said: "There are two slices of radishes in the pot."

"Yeah." Jia Cong clicked two black dots on the radish slices.

Feng Ziying said: "Two longan?"

Jia Cong continued to draw a few strokes, Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Is this a pig's head?"

Jia Cong nodded: "I drew this by myself. What if it was added by many people?" Feng Ziying raised her eyebrows.Jia Cong said, "I suspect these things are not done by one family, but by many people. The witchcraft dolls found in Brother Huan's yard may be done by Lin Luan."

Feng Ziying frowned and said, "Didn't you check clearly when you sent her out?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Check the hairball! It's just a woman sent by a boss in the palace, and Brother Huan doesn't want it. I sent it away. There are poisons and medicines hidden in the powder box. Let her stay with us. It’s not sure what the mansion will do.”

Feng Ziying thought for a moment and said: "She has Princess Jian'an's birth date, and she can tell it in the past."

Jia Cong said: "Except for her, I really can't think of anyone else who would not want Princess Jian'an to have a child. By the way, there is one thing I didn't tell you. Her mirror-mobbing Liu Yunxi once gave me aphrodisiacs."

"What?" Feng Ziying was startled, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "I don't think this kind of trivial matter is very important. She is not clever, and Uncle Fu saw it when she administered the medicine, so I didn't drink the tea; I sent them away the next day."

Feng Ziying immediately said: "Since this is the case, it is still a matter of whether the two of them are grinding their mirrors. It may be that they were both sent by the Empress Dowager."

Jia Cong said: "Not necessarily. How could the Empress Dowager think that we would help Lin Luan get someone out of the palace? Lin Luan must have his own thoughts, so he may not listen to the Empress Dowager." He thought for a while, "After Lin Luan came out of the palace, especially after we helped her find out Liu Yunxi, the Empress Dowager was beyond her reach. She became selfish and what could the Empress Dowager do to her?" After thinking for a while, "She bought the ring The mother-in-law in the elder brother's courtyard buried the witch-gu doll, and originally wanted to compete for favor. If it doesn't work, if you want to send it out, why don't you dig out the doll earlier?"

Feng Ziying said: "It's all buried, so what's the point of digging?"

Jia Cong pinched her fingers and said: "She has moved out, obviously she has nothing to do with Brother Huan, and even sent a little maid to see Mrs. Jin for what. And if she poisoned that little maid herself, would she be a little girl?" Is the servant girl innocent? First spy on Big Sister Xue to meet the little widow, then come to our mansion to meet Mrs. Jin, and then go to buy spices." Jia Cong patted the table and said, "No! She might really be a mirror."

Seeing that he had regained his spirits, Feng Ziying smiled and crossed her legs: "Surprised. How did you see it?"

Jia Cong said: "Someone took away the guardians of the Empress Dowager. Just now Liu Siye also said that the Empress Dowager had long been suspicious of a traitor and wronged their family. It can be seen that there are other things happening. I Let’s assume for a moment. Did the leader of this matter submit an anonymous petition to Wucheng Bingmasi, saying that Yinfengju sold stolen goods?"

Feng Ziying nodded: "I have found out that the son of the prince wanted Yinfengju after Zhao Chengde's Xue Taojian."

Jia Cong said: "As I guessed, the prince was used as a gunman. That incident was weird, and the final result was to expose the Liu family in Da Nei. The Liu family did not care about the scene where the empress dowager was assassinated. Because of being wronged, the Empress Dowager didn’t bother to take care of herself when she was fine. Could it be that the person who pried away the eunuch’s guards played a counter-measure to provoke the relationship between the Liu family and the Empress Dowager so that the eunuchs could be pried away smoothly.”

"Anymore?"

"Both our family and Jiang's family have unobtrusive women who have been bought and silenced. Not to mention whether she has the ability to stretch her hands out of the palace, the Empress Dowager has no need to bribe a woman, which is of little use. These two I'm afraid that the woman was bought by someone else, and most likely it was bought by the person who kidnapped the guardian. Otherwise, how did you buy the woman in Brother Huan's courtyard? It is obvious that she knows that the Empress Dowager wants to give Brother Huan a woman. Lin Luan , probably didn’t know that Mrs. Jin was not from the Empress Dowager, and asked her to help bury the witch doll. Brother Pihuan didn’t want to accept her at all. Later, she got that Liu Yunxi, and her mind changed. You see, she refused to return Home. Their home is not bad, if you can give her a good home, why don't you go back?"

Feng Ziying said: "You are so good at everything, I understand it!"

Jia Cong said: "Although what I said is messy, it is clear anyway. You see, Lin Luan is really a mirror. After getting a lover, her mind changed. She doesn't want to mess with the Empress Dowager. She lived in Lixiangyuan for a while, The empress dowager must have told her about my temperament before leaving the palace, this woman should know that I don't like fame." He stumbled, "She told people in her shop that I gave the prescription for treating smallpox, maybe it is I hope that I will go to her to reprimand me because of this. It's a pity that I didn't take her seriously."

Feng Ziying also couldn't help making the case: "Lin Luan has been watched by others, and I want to ask you for help."

Jia Cong nodded and said: "Grandma Jin and the head of the Jiang family's wife wanted to use her or blackmail her. They used witchcraft dolls. That little maid was probably sent by the people behind the scenes to watch Lin Luan. He didn’t want to take it off, so he gave the little maid the secret medicine Sanxiang Yin, and asked her to follow Eldest Sister Xue to meet the little widow, then come to our house to find Mrs. Jin, and finally poisoned her to death, and reported to the government. The government investigated, Both Mrs. Jin and the Mrs. Jiang's family will have to be exposed."

Feng Ziying let out a sigh of relief: "She wants to use the hands of the government to deal with the people behind the scenes."

Jia Cong said: "Si Master Liu said that the killer who killed Lin Luan was very skilled, and anyone in his family could do it. In fact, he was telling Brother Feng that the killer was at the level of a big inner guard. By the way, Gao Hanlin's son can't be guaranteed to be with them." hand."

"What do they want an ordinary young master for?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Usually? The grandson of the Liguo Mansion wants to beg a little widow for no reason. That little widow may have a way to smuggle Western firearms."

Feng Ziying thought for a while: "The two big shopkeepers of Yinfengju have a close relationship with the little widow's husband."

Jia Cong said: "This is another guess of mine. Western guns are smuggled! Is this thing easy? How many people are staring at Western guns? The government that does business with them is fine, if it is a bandit..."

Feng Ziying felt a headache just thinking about it: "Is that okay? There must be chaos in the world."

Jia Cong nodded and said: "Our family has discussed business with Hongguji. Although Hongguji is a merchant, it is clear who can sell it to and who cannot. Ordinary people can't buy their firearms. As an Ouchi guard, although his martial arts skills are high, he is no match for firearms. Therefore, the two shopkeepers of Yinfengju are on good terms with the little widow's husband in order to get smuggled firearms. They say everything to fans Did this man do such a terrible job of smuggling firearms?"

Feng Ziying suddenly understood: "The boss of the dead noodle restaurant Wang is not in charge, but his wife."

"Brother Feng has an idea." Jia Cong said with a wrinkled finger, "The first person to die was the former shopkeeper of Yinfengju. I guess this person was in collusion with the people behind the scenes. I'm afraid Liu's family judged him to find out the clues and was wiped out." The second one was Boss Wang, I guess the smuggler from the little widow killed him because he talked too much. The third one was the little maid, poisoned by Lin Luan. The fourth is the wife of the Jia family and the Jiang family who were bought by the people behind the scenes, and they killed her. The sixth is Lin Luan. What she did was seen by the people behind the scenes. There are at least seven guardians who recognize Sanxiangyin. She was not silenced, but killed by revenge. Because she alarmed the little widow." Jia Cong smiled, "Don't doubt the king of Jin and the king of Chu. Yes. The firearms of Red Bones are sold to officials and not to people, and the princes of various families don’t need smuggled goods.”

What he said made sense, and Feng Ziying couldn't help but disagree for a while. "It's just, if it wasn't for the prince, why did he spend so much effort to pry away the big inner guard from the palace?"

Jia Cong glanced at him: "What's so inconvenient if you have a big internal expert? Even if you can't deal with officers and soldiers, can't you deal with the common people?"

Feng Ziying pondered: "Then Gao Hanlin's son?"

Jia Cong said: "The two shopkeepers of Yinfengju failed to get firearms from Boss Wang, and he died easily. Perhaps the Liu family also guessed that the little widow was in charge."

I only heard Liu Si say outside the window: "The Liu family doesn't want any firearms."

Jia Cong glanced at the window: "You are eavesdropping! This is not a gentleman. Your family is not small. Are you in charge of the house, Liu Siye? Do you know everything about your family? If your family doesn't want it, it doesn't mean that the Liguo Mansion doesn't want it." Liu Si was dumbfounded.

Feng Ziying stood up and said, "I'll go check that witchcraft doll first."

"Huh? You didn't check before you were old."

"Now that Lin Luan is suspicious, it's much easier to handle." Feng Ziying left after saying that.Liu Sili stood still outside, and no one cared about him.

Jia Cong personally sent Feng Ziying out, returned to the outer study and bowed to Liu Si: "Master Liu must have something to say."

Liu Si sighed softly, cupped his fists and said, "Our family has never thought about buying any smuggled firearms." Jia Cong said, "I don't believe it."Liu Si said helplessly, "Yinfengju is not our family's property, it belongs to the Empress Dowager."

Jia Cong was so excited that he was so happy that he jumped up: I can count it as my young master!I'm not in vain of my young master's nonsense.
