The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Jia Anniang avoids the important and takes the light, coaxing the Liu family brothers to spare Liuzhuang easily.Liu Xiaoqi then clasped his hands and said: "The boy is just a fledgling, not good at vulgar things, so I ask Mrs. Jia for advice. How should Princess Lin'an deal with this matter."

Jia Anniang said: "Yin Qiye's identity, even if they heard from Xiangyang Marquis Mansion, they don't know. Didn't Miss Chen say that she wanted to take Mingyi as her disciple? I'll trouble Rongguo Mansion to be a middle-class person, just give them a big gift. It's just that children's families don't care about the importance, and the manor doesn't care about it."

But at this moment, the man came in and answered, saying that Mrs. Pan had come.Qi's hasn't been here since Falcon Bookstore opened, but today is the first time.Liu Si unconsciously looked up at the sky, but Liu Mingyi jumped out to pick up her mother.

Qi timidly wished everyone a blessing, saying: "I was originally related to the Xiangyang Hou's mansion, and when I entered the palace, I used the name of their girl, and I always helped their mansion once. Now what happened to Young Master Zhuang Let me stand up, tomorrow I will go to that mansion to plead guilty to Princess Lin An, if you want to kill or cut it, you can only ask me. If you want to come to that mansion, it is always for the sake of relatives..." She bit her lip.

Jia Anniang said: "According to me, it's very appropriate to leave such an idea to Lord Yin Qi. Why bother to send Lady Pan to your door to be abused by others? Gongmenhou's mansion is full of snobbish eyes, even if you smash your head It's useless."

Qi couldn't help looking at Liu Si.Liu Mingyi yelled first: "Mother! Seventh Uncle can deal with it! Seventh Uncle won't offend that princess!" Qi still looked at Liu Si.

Liu Sidao: "You don't have to worry about this matter." Qi hesitated to speak, and hung his head for a long time.

After Jia Anniang and the Qi family had left, Liu Er asked Liu Xiaoqi, "What kind of business are you doing?"

Liu Xiaoqi: "Didn't Second Brother always see it?"

"Where did the news come from?"

"Come here, sell it to the money place." Liu Xiaoqi clapped his hands, turned around and wanted to go out.

Liu Er suddenly said: "Rectifying thieves and thieves is originally the job of the imperial court, but now it is actually done by the people in the market."

Liu Xiaoqi stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "Second brother actually thought of this?"

Liu Er asked silently for a moment: "Only do this?"

Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while: "I'm only doing this right now. I'll do something else in the future." Liu Er looked at each other and asked, and Liu Si was listening.Liu Xiaoqi said, "Nowadays, most of the evildoers in Beijing are corrupt officials, corrupt officials, powerful slaves, and bullies. I have only one person at the moment, and taking down some bullies is just a matter of deterring them with skill. Looking at the big names In fact, one hammer here and one stick here can't control a lot of things. However, since I am famous, many people can use my name or the banner of admiring me to do these things. I He has contacts with Zhao Cheng and helped him a little bit," he pointed to the study outside, "he also likes these comments, and the most important thing is that these people beat and killed all hooligans—they were supposed to be fast arresters. Zhao Cheng will not pay attention to these cases."

Liu Si pondered: "Don't pay attention to these cases, don't you pay attention to the gangsters in the market who let the righteous people kill them?"

Liu Xiaoqi nodded: "According to the law, you can't mess around when you arrest and handle cases quickly. However, since the last few years of the Taizu Dynasty, the rich and powerful in the Manchu Dynasty gradually became arrogant, and the bullies in the market gradually got involved with the officials. The commander of the city soldiers and horses did not dare to handle the case according to the law when he went to ordinary counties. Not long after that, the "Official Protection Talisman" was circulated everywhere. For example, there was a rumor in Jinling that "Jia is not fake, and white jade is used as a horse for Tang Jin." "It's talking about the Rongguo Mansion and Prince Teng of Guangdong and Guangxi. How can all the arresters below be smart and know what to investigate and what not to investigate? Or they are wasting their efforts to handle the case and watching the murderer do nothing. What's more, the police will have to suffer losses and pay the murderer. Those who can't swallow this breath will change their careers, and the remaining and newcomers will gradually be less controlled. In the market, most of the people rely on Ranger."

Liu Si's eyes flickered and said: "You can't expect that you can remember the "Official Talisman"."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Every ranger who accidentally hurt the minions of the wealthy family ran around, and the market gradually became stronger. Since the power is strong, it is inevitable that there are righteous and dishonest ones. There are many crooked market rogues, and it is inevitable that they will hurt the "Guardian" again. The people on the Talisman. Taking Jingzhong as an example, most of the cases that Zhao Cheng has investigated and handled in recent years are these."

Liu Sidao: "According to your opinion, there are many nightclubs in the market. Zhao Cheng will take care of those who hurt the powerful officials, but he will not take care of those who hurt ordinary people. Now that you are willing to take care of the wounded people for him , he is happy to be free. In the future, someone will use your name to take care of these things, Zhao Cheng is still happy to be free."

Liu Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly and said: "Fourth brother is right, that's it."

Liu Erdao: "Isn't this a good thing? Why do I hear what you and Mrs. Jia said, there seems to be something hidden?"

Liu Sidao: "Second brother, it's a good thing on the surface, but it's really a big harm to the country. Xiaoqi and the others are neither officials nor officials, how can they have the right to control them? If the name is not correct, the words will not follow. Do you want to follow the rules?"

Liu Xiaoqi clapped his hands and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Son of Heaven partnered to sell the title, do you still have the rules?"

Liu Sidao: "What are you doing these for?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "What else can we do? We live in the market every day, so we naturally hope that life will be smooth and business will be prosperous. Who would like to have kidnappers abducting their children every day? Or earning a living at home just now? If you save two coins, some ruffians will come to your door to ask for it? Since the government doesn’t care, someone has to care, right?”

Liu Sidao: "Since this is the case, it is very appropriate for you to control the surrounding area. According to what you just said, even the north of the city wants to take care of it."

Liu Xiaoqi spread his hands and said: "The west of the city is not far from the north, so don't the kidnappers from the north of the city come to the west of the city to abduct children? I am not a tyrant in the market. Rangers are willing to learn from me, and I also confiscated them as apprentices, nor I recognize them. They run fast with their hands and feet, what does it have to do with me, Yin Qi, if Zhao Cheng can't catch them? I'm just a book seller." After saying that, his face was full of innocence, and the corners of his eyes were full of mischief.

Liu Si looked at him carefully for a long time, and said, "Xiaoqi, tell me the truth. What do people like you and Mrs. Jia want?"

Liu Xiaoqi said sternly: "Do justice for the heavens." Both Liu Er and Liu Si obviously didn't believe it.Liu Xiaoqi said, "Really. We only work for Wucheng Bingmasi and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs for free and don't get paid. Everything is done secretly by people with high martial arts skills. We will never gather people to recruit disciples, and we will not leave any 'timely rain' Song Gongming's reputation. Free!"

Liu Si sneered and said: "It's such a laborious task, if you encounter it by chance, you can take care of it; for a long time, many people are specially supported to do this for free, and there is no way. You must have a plan."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Dare to ask fourth brother what do we want to draw?"

Liu Si pondered for a long time and said: "Just now you said that most of the evildoers in Beijing are corrupt officials, corrupt officials, slaves, and bullies. Right now you only deal with the 'bully' type. I'm afraid there are more than one type in Rongguo Mansion."

"I'm not the only one!" Liu Xiaoqi's mouth curled up, "After a while, corrupt officials and slaves will all attack them."

"By the way, help Jia Cong, Feng Ziying and others eliminate dissidents?"

"Definitely not!" Liu Xiaoqi waved his hands again and again, "Jia Cong and Feng Ziying are lonely ministers, and have nothing to do with the people under King Yan. If the two of them want to eradicate dissidents, how can they go to such trouble? Unjust cases are extremely cheap. I just said it. If the court does these things, we naturally don’t do them. It’s because they don’t do it that we do it. Someone has to do it, right?”

The two brothers were silent for a long time, Liu Er sighed softly: "I don't know what King Yan is doing."

"It's none of the King Yan's business, it's just inertia." Liu Xiaoqi said, "The imperial court only collects taxes. Officials protect each other, and slaves bully the people. Second brother and fourth brother." He clasped his fists and said, "The two elder brothers are willing to help, together Younger brother, let’s be a chivalrous man who will do justice for the heavens together?”

Liu Er and Liu Si looked at each other, and Liu Si said, "I still don't understand what you want to do."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Fourth brother, how many times is this the question? I have already answered you before and you are not tired of hearing it? By the way, I killed one last night. There is a manager in the Liguo Mansion who wants to sell it at [-]% of the market price. The price is strong to buy someone else's shop." Liu Er and Liu Si were slightly startled.Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I didn't take the Liguo Mansion for surgery, it just happened that he belonged to the Liguo Mansion."

Liu Sidao: "I'm afraid there are many of these things in Prince Yan's residence."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "King Yan is not short of money. His money came from taxes and mines in Dongying. There are always slaves in his house who go outside to grab people's interests. These people don't have to be lenient. If so His son..." He winked, "Just pass the letter to his other son."

Liu Ercheng was reading Lulin Pinghua in the bookstore every day, and he couldn't help pouring in some of his chivalrous heart. After thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, brother can't eat tea and snacks for free."

Liu Xiaoqi clapped her hands: "Second brother is actually more sloppy than fourth brother!"

Liu Si saw that Liu Er had agreed, and that he was flustered recently, and even the Qi family was also flustered, so he also said, "It's not good for my brother to live in your house for nothing." After a while, he said again, "We've all joined the gang, why don't you say what it is for?"

Liu Xiaoqi laughed straight: "My silly brother! We kill all villains, haven't you ever heard of gangsters eating gangsters?"

The brothers suddenly realized! "I only thought that the Rongguo Mansion was a royal court and not short of money, but I never thought of this one!" Heartbroken.

After a while, Chen Ruijin came over, asked about the situation at the other end, and said with a smile, "It's not a problem." Then he took Jia Amnesty's film, and under Jia Cong's name, he sent an important manager of Rongguo Mansion Go to Xiangyang Houfu to be a middleman.It is only said that Liu Zhuang is the nephew of a friend of Jia Cong, and he is also the son of a general. His father went to Dongying with Feng Tang.Children are young and immature, and it doesn't matter how serious they are.He also told the story of the matter to the Houfu of Xiangyang in detail.The people in the house heard that it was Princess Lin'an who forced the embroiderer to put aside Princess Jian'an's things and embroider her own things first. They thought that the Rongguo Mansion was just trying to vent their anger on the third grandma of their family. Admitting that this matter was originally the fault of Princess Lin'an.Liu Xiaoqi ordered another generous gift to send over.The Xiangyang Marquis Mansion has also gradually become poor over the years, and seeing the list of gifts, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. How could he remember that Princess Lin'an had a broken rib?That's it.Qi was stunned for a long time, Youzi couldn't believe it.The Liu family brothers turned their heads to train Liu Zhuang's subordinates' strength and measure, and Liu Zhuang also studied these words carefully, so let's not mention it for now.

But when he went back that night, Mr. Liu asked Liu Er if he had found anything; Liu Er only said no. "Xiaoqi only sells books every day, the fourth helps him collect the bills, and Zhuang'er helps with small tasks such as wrapping books." He thought for a moment and said, "It's just that some people who look at unusual people often come to buy books."

"An unusual person?"

"Fans dressed as men, beggars with banknotes in their arms, blind fortune-tellers." Liu Erdao, "But they really went to buy books."

Mr. Liu frowned: "These are probably spies." Nai asked again, "Where is Rongguo Mansion?"

Liu Erdao: "Except for Jia Cong's visit on the opening day, there is nothing to do with it. Zhao Cheng often goes there, and Feng Ziying also goes there a few times. Both of their injuries have not healed yet."

Mr. Liu sighed: "Forget it, it's inconvenient to press too hard. Now we really can use the Rongguo Mansion. It's better to investigate secretly." Nai then said, "Jia Si sent people over today, the trip to the south The bodyguard for the young master's family of Xiangrui Yinlou will leave in the day after tomorrow. I thought, you often go outside, and you have gone out of the palace to do a lot of things in the past, so you can go this time." Liu Er took the order.Mr. Liu said again, "Let Ting Boy look at the other end of Xiao Qi, he also saw it a few days ago. You can talk to him about the essentials later."

Liu Er took the order again.After a while, he said: "It's better to let the brothers go in turn. One has poor eyesight, but everyone has bright eyes. Everyone go and have a look, maybe you can see some different traces."

Mr. Liu thought for a while: "It makes sense. Just follow what you said."

The next day, Liu Xiaoqi waited for half a day but could not come to Liu Er, so he looked around and saw a familiar cousin leaning against the fence outside his bookstore with nothing to do, so he invited him in for tea and snacks: "Why did you change today? Second brother didn't finish the commentary yesterday." Only then did Master Liu know that Liu Er, the co-author, came to Falcon Bookstore every day to eat, drink and read.Liu Xiaoqi extended an invitation again, and he entered the room like Liu Er, and when he returned at night, he still took the commentary that he hadn't finished reading.Because Liu Er was going to get up tomorrow and follow the Taiping Escort to the south, he slipped back to the bookstore tonight to pick up the commentary he hadn't finished and take it with him on the way to relieve his boredom.It didn't take long for the various comments from the Falcon Bookstore to spread throughout the Liu family, and all the Liu family children who had been following Liu Xiaoqi's place also entered the house.Only Mr. Liu did not know about this matter.

It was September, and suddenly there were many murders in Beijing. The murderers were all highly skilled in martial arts and did not leave any traces.There were everyone who died, officials, petty officials, wealthy managers, and kidnappers who took pictures of flowers, and I couldn't even find a commonality.In addition to killing people and robbing money, they left words in various handwritings, some on the wall, some on the desk case, and some on the flower-painting paper bought outside.Those who died all had evil deeds.Snatching people, wives and daughters, taking people's fields, houses and shops, and even the owner of a medicine shop died because he sold fake medicines.The killer doesn't look at identity at all.Lai Sheng, the chief executive of Ningguo Mansion, seized [-] acres of land in the suburbs of the city, and was stabbed in the neck; the first important eunuch under the prince of Yan married a girl by force, and had a sleeve arrow pierced in his heart.Zhao Cheng was in a state of desperation and didn't have any clues, so he could only insist that those who acted were all rangers.

One day, Zhao Cheng couldn't explain anymore.Hou Xiaoping, the third master of Xiuguo Mansion, died unexpectedly.
