The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Since breaking Jia Cong out, Situ Cen has never worried about it.Speaking of which, the two of them haven't been together for long, but Situ Cen fully understands how anxious Jia Cong is and how much he wants to spread the people of this dynasty all over the world.If he can apply Taoism, he will come up with a method of shrinking the ground to send people out.The Kingdom of Shu has so many territories outside, and it is really important that I know him well.

Sure enough, four days later, Jia Cong rushed to redeem him.Climbing up the mountain with the bandits leading the way, Jia Cong recognized the bandit leader at a glance—the king of the mountain was Fang Yifei, the granddaughter of Fang Xiong, the first Jiannan Jiedu envoy.This person holds the most elite bandits in the Shu Kingdom, and has cooperated with Liu Feng Heihei to do many things over the years. Jia Cong is very polite to her.The Rongguo Mansion is quite famous in the green forest, so Jia Cong didn't have to pretend to be an official and young master, and he just used slang words for a long time when he came up—the two of them acted as if they didn't know each other.

Fang Yifei didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Mr. Wei said that the money to redeem him will not be counted on him in the future. If this is the case, I will not give Mr. Jia a discount."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "He still has this self-consciousness? Very good! Your Majesty is welcome, as much as you want. Your Majesty is wise, this thing is worth more alive than dead. But I have to check it first. He brought it over and let me see if it is whole?"

Fang Yifei smiled and clapped his palms twice.Someone pushed Situ Cen out from behind.When Situ Cen saw Jia Cong, a stone fell from his heart, and he sighed, "Jia Laosan, you are here!"

Jia Cong looked at him and laughed straight: "All brothers and feet are ready, but I don't know if my brain is stupid..."

Before the words were finished, someone suddenly jumped out from the side and shouted: "Mr. Jia! Are you that Mr. Jia?" Jia Cong was taken aback, but it seemed that she was a woman, not yet 40 years old, and she was quite fair and straight. Very conspicuous in the bandit den.

Someone below shouted and cursed: "Quickly fork out!" Immediately, someone stepped forward and grabbed her and dragged her out.

Jia Cong had already completed his homework from Liu Feng, and said with a smirk, "It's so cold, this aunt has worked so hard to get out, so let him finish the sentence."

Fang Yifei looked at his relaxed appearance, but waved his hands and said, "Let her talk."

Situ Cen couldn't care about these things, he pulled Jia Cong and asked in a low voice: "My wife?"

"It's safe." Jia Cong also whispered, "It's quite dramatic, I'll tell you when you go out." Situ Cen felt relieved and nodded.

Let go of the woman.The woman shook off her sleeves fiercely, straightened her clothes again, and came over to give Jia Cong a blessing, saying: "My servant knows that Mr. Jia is a scholar. If you dare to ask Mr. Jia, if you borrow something from others, you have to return it." Is it?"

Jia Cong thought for a moment and said: "It depends on the situation. I borrowed things used by others, such as axes and teapots. After using them, they are still the same, and I have to return them. If there is any damage, I will compensate others. If it is broken If you can’t afford it, at least you have to pay a gift. You borrow someone’s house to live in temporarily, and you should clean it up when you move out. Of course, if the neighbors don’t have vinegar for eating dumplings, you can find the neighbors to borrow some vinegar, and usually you don’t have to pay it back. "

Fang Yifei smiled and said: "What if I borrow soldiers and horses?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Since ancient times, who has heard that borrowing troops and land will be returned? If you don't believe me, ask Liu Bei."

Fang Yifei cast a glance at the woman: "How come you have to return the teapot if you borrow an axe, and don't return it if you borrow a land with soldiers and horses?"

Jia Cong said: "The rules are different. Borrowing an ax and teapot is based on the rules of governing the world. Governing the world emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and repaying what is borrowed. Borrowing soldiers and horses is based on the rules of troubled times. In troubled times, the rule of the jungle is emphasized. Whoever has the biggest fist is right." If you govern the world and don't return the things you borrow, people can go to the government to sue. If you are so confused that if you lend these two things out, you don't have to expect to get them back."

The woman said anxiously, "Why can't it be taken back?"

Jia Cong said: "If he doesn't return it, what can he do? In troubled times, no one will meddle in such nosy matters. Besides, if you borrow an ax and teapot, if... the ax and teapot are small things, so it's inconvenient to make an analogy. Let's put it this way. Zhang San Asked Li Si borrowed the ancestral treasure and refused to return it, Li Si sued Zhang San to the Yamen. Zhang San bribed the county magistrate with 5000 taels of silver, but the county magistrate ignored the matter. So what can Li Si do?"

The woman shouted: "Speak up again! Report to the magistrate."

Jia Cong said: "If Zhang San takes Li Si's treasure and presents it to the emperor in exchange for an official position, what if Li Si sues him?"

The woman was dumbfounded for a long time before saying: "There is always justice in the world!"

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Which liar coaxed you to say that there is always justice in the world? Do you believe such a false lie? How stupid are you?"

Situ Cen felt uncomfortable listening, and interjected: "Although there are corrupt officials in the world, there must be honest officials."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "I'm just making an analogy. Zhang San wouldn't dare to borrow something if he met an upright official, wouldn't he pay it back? Even if he wanted Li Si's treasure very much, he still had to find a way to coax Zhang San into moving here first. Corrupt officials will be borrowed after they are governed. However, you have to admit that corrupt officials have always existed since ancient times, and even Ming Tai Zu Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t control them with cruel methods.”

Situ Cen choked, and said again: "It is a common morality to borrow and repay, and the common people naturally obey it. There is no reason to go to court for everything."

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "It's wishful thinking. It's pure daydreaming to expect the vast majority of human beings on earth to act in accordance with morality. Otherwise, what would the court do? Can't do nothing to govern?" He said with a half-smile, "Take Shu as the Say, if everyone respects morality, Mr. Wei, you have already gone to Mount Emei for your honeymoon, where would you come to visit the bandits' den?" Situ Cen was speechless.

The woman obviously didn't expect Jia Cong to come up with such a set of words, she was dumbfounded.Jia Cong asked her: "Auntie, do you have anything else to do? If it's all right," he pointed at Situ Cen, "We're going to discuss the value of this product."

The woman thought for a while, then said falteringly: "Then...leading troops and fighting is always a man's business."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Auntie, have you ever heard of opera? Do you know Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying?"

The woman became more and more anxious: "Oh, there are only two of them!"

Jia Cong curled his lips, glanced at Fang Yifei and then at Situ Cen: "It seems that we can't do business safely without sending you away. I have already guessed this aunt. Given Fang's age, I think it is her." When my father died, my brother was still young, so she took care of the cottage; now that my brother has grown up, I want her to return the cottage, right?"

The woman nodded again and again: "That's right! Our master's family business should have been inherited by the young master, and the girl will only take care of it for a few years."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "If she doesn't want to pay back, what do you guys think?" Without waiting for the woman to speak, he twisted the corner of his mouth, "I knew from the time you came out to talk, auntie, that you guys can't do anything. If he has The ability is when you pick up a knife and gun to rob the cottage with your sister. Send a helpless woman out to speak, and expect an outsider who came to the bandit's den to do business for help. Have you ever seen such a naive person? This is the green forest, not the imperial court. The rules of the green forest are very simple, and the strong are respected. If he is incompetent, just gossip about his sister, even any leader in this hall can fight him. If you are a bandit, you must abide by the rules of the bandit , do you still expect the government to make decisions for you?" Jia Cong bared his teeth and smiled, "How can you take all the good things in the world?"

The woman was dumbfounded again.Instead, a leader next to him asked, "Sir, why did she take advantage of it?"

Jia Cong said: "Bandits don't pay taxes! What is the government? The government means that the people pay their own money - that is, tax money, to hire gentlemen to judge cases, catch thieves, and hire generals to help them settle To destroy the Japanese pirates and the bandits who robbed houses. Only the master generals are not enough! The master generals also hired policemen and soldiers to help. There are too many master generals, and there will be troubles, so there is an imperial court to manage these master generals. Of course , These are all scene words, just listen to it, don't take it seriously."

Situ Cen frowned: "Where did you hear these bastard words?"

Jia Cong said: "The origin of society, the primitive society is like this. Haven't you read these books?"

"Why does it mean that in the book?"

"Why don't you mean that? I just said it in a simple and easy-to-understand way. They might not understand me if I stick to the words."

Just then the leader nodded and said: "I understand what you said, sir. But now there are too many corrupt officials who only collect taxes and don't make decisions for the people."

Jia Cong looked at Situ Cen with a smile: "Isn't that right. The former magistrate of Fuping county is like that, why don't you just jump ship and go to Nanyang?"

Situ Cen tugged at him, and said in a low voice, "You also know?"

Jia Cong frowned: "So you also know?"

Situ Cen shook his head and sighed, "There's no other way."

Jia Cong snorted, "This kind of thing shouldn't have happened at all!" Nai shook his hand, "Forget it, you don't understand if you have different positions." Looking at Fang Yifei, he said, "We can negotiate the price."

Fang Yifei smiled and opened 50 taels of silver.Jia Cong cast a sidelong glance at Situ Cen and raised his chin.Meaning, you make the counteroffer yourself.Situ Cen hurriedly said: "The price is too high, how can I afford such a price!"

Fang Yifei said: "Look at Mr. Jia's face, I didn't triple it. Since it's not worth living, I'll sell it to Master Tian." Situ Cen was dumbfounded!Fang Yifei didn't want to say, "We are bandits, and we are the most impatient to bargain with others. Since Mr. Wei can't afford 50, why not pay 100 million, anyway, you can't afford it either."

Situ Cen hurriedly said: "50 is appropriate, just 50." All the bandits laughed in unison.

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Sharp! How easy it is to do business like this."

Situ Cen tugged at him: "Of course you can relax! It's not your money."

Jia Cong shouted: "Do you have a conscience? I have traveled so many miles to redeem you, and I didn't even charge an intermediary fee, and you still complain. I really have no place to complain. I have to go back to the same place with you." Your father wants money."

Situ Cen said, "You don't have any money with you?"

Jia Cong said with contempt: "I have no common sense at all! Even if I carry money with me, how much can I carry?"

"Your surname Liu... doesn't your buddy carry a large roll of banknotes with him?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "What on earth did you go abroad for? How could he have so much money as a buddy? There is only a 200 tael bill mixed with some messy pieces of paper. It was cut out from a large sheet of white paper, and it will only be two hundred and fifty letters."

Situ Cen was stunned, not realizing it was funny: "He speaks so loudly..." Nai shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, if a bun has meat, it doesn't matter if it's folded, how do I know if he's a rich man or not."

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Anyway, you wait honestly and eat a few more days of bandit food. I will hurry back and find your father to get money. How about it?"

"It's too much effort. Why don't you use my name to find Lord Tian and ask him to borrow 50 silver envoys temporarily." Situ Cen sneered, "Master Tian must have it."

"Ah? Didn't he want to kill you? Will you borrow it?"

Situ Cen smiled, and said slowly, "Tell him that. Mr. Tian, ​​everyone is out to earn a living. As the saying goes, all brothers are brothers, so why bother to use fists, feet and swords?" What? What else can’t be solved with money?” Jia Cong was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.Situ Cen shook his head, "Tell him, [-]% to [-]%—no, [-]% to [-]%. I'm seven and the other three. I can assure you that he will definitely do this business."

Jia Cong laughed so hard that he bent over: "He's willing to do it at twenty-eighty times. I would do it if it were me! With your line, the money won't come rolling in like running water in the future?" Nai clasped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, my lord, I've gone to collect money, and our old Wei will trouble the lord to take care of it for two more days."

Fang Yifei smiled and cupped his hands: "It's easy to say."

Jia Cong waved at Situ Cen, turned around and left.After leaving the camp, some minions led him down the mountain.Jia Cong said, "I'm going to discuss business with the county magistrate of Fuping. It's not good for you to follow. Why don't you pick me up at the foot of the mountain at noon tomorrow." Minoru sounded reasonable, so he just sent him to the foot of the mountain.

Jia Cong rode slowly alone for about half a mile, when he heard someone shouting from behind: "Mr. Jia!"

Jia Cong complained: "It's so slow. I'm walking slowly enough." He reined in the horse.

The man said: "I'm sorry, I had a few more words with the master." It was Situ Cen's guard leader Zhou Hu who came.

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Ah Cen is so naive to run around with his new wife, is it because you are used to it? Did he also run around with a sword when he was in the West, and you secretly followed him and helped him?" He settled all kinds of bandits?" Zhou Hu nodded with a smile.Jia Cong sighed and muttered, "There is no such thing as quiet time, but someone is carrying the burden for you to move forward."

Zhou Hu was taken aback: "What did you say, sir?"

"I said, you are doing it wrong." Jia Cong said seriously, "He is so old and has traveled so many places, but he still has a misunderstanding of his own force. Could it cause trouble?" Pause He also said, "You have done so many things for him, and you should let him know about it and get a salary increase. What if there is any injury? Take a step back and say, you think these are your duties, and you don't want to get money , it should be a name."

As soon as the words fell, someone snorted from the treetop: "What about me? Is there not much I can do for you?"

Jia Cong looked up at the man and smiled, "Even I belong to you, just take whatever you want."

Chen Ruijin jumped down and clasped his fists to Zhou Hu: "Guard Zhou, I have long admired your name."
