The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But it was said that Situ Cen brought Guanshi Xu, who forcibly bought someone else's embroidery workshop under his own name, back to the mansion for interrogation.The man was dragged into the study, and collapsed on the ground like earth.Situ Cen slowly picked up the teacup and drank a couple of sips: "Let's talk."

Jia Cong joined in the fun: "If you are honest, you will be lenient and if you resist, you will be strict. If you are an accomplice, you can be punished lightly."

Guanshi Xu was stunned for a long time, then shook his head violently: "The slave is just being foolish and pretending to be His Highness's name, he just wants to die quickly."

Situ Cen sneered and said, "Quick death? You want to die if you don't confess?"

Manager Xu crawled halfway from the ground into a kneeling position, and kowtowed: "Damn this slave! Die this slave! Die this slave..."

Situ Cen frowned: "I was impatient to use severe punishment on people."

Jia Cong said: "Punishment is so rude, we are civilized people." He looked at Guanshi Xu, "Hey, look at your fat body, it is obvious that you have not suffered much. You must be recruited if you are tortured, and you must be recruited if you are not tortured." , it’s better to save yourself some guilt. Besides, it’s not like we don’t know who your master is. Don’t we have to figure it out? Maybe your master has a hard time?” Guanshi Xu’s scalp was broken at this moment , Hearing this remark, he was taken aback.Situ Cen gave Jia Cong a white look.

But at this moment, someone came to report that a person had come from outside the mansion, claiming to have something urgent to see His Highness the Third.He said that he was the one wearing the hat just now.Situ Cen was taken aback, and asked, "Did he say his name?"

Menzi said, "No. He said Mr. Jia knew him."

Jia Cong blinked, exchanged a glance with Situ Cen, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that Mr. Mei?"

Situ Cen also said in a low voice: "Why did I also think of him? He doesn't have the courage to do so." He ordered that person to come in.

Not long after, the man in Tsing Yi walked in, with the bamboo hat still on his back.As soon as Jia Cong saw it, he shouted, "Liu Feng! Why is it you!"

Liu Feng cupped his hands with a smile: "Third Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I seem to be slimmer."

Jia Cong gave him a sideways look, and said to Situ Cen: "This Dong Liu's family used to be the accountant of our Jia's horse shop, but he resigned and went out to open his own shop. Now he is a rich man."

Liu Feng said: "Don't dare, I just opened a small bank."

"Pull it down, is HSBC Bank small?"

Situ Cen was slightly startled: "East Liu's family from HSBC Bank?" Liu Feng nodded slightly and bowed to the ground.

Jia Cong said: "That year he said he wanted to take the exam for fame, but I don't know if he has passed the exam."

Liu Feng said: "I have already passed the Juren examination. Later, there are too many things in the bank, so I didn't take the examination again."

Although Situ Cen has only returned to Shu Kingdom not long ago, he also knows about this HSBC bank.In fact, it was only opened in recent years, but he is really a big rich man, and he does a lot of business.Looking at Jia Cong, he smiled and said, "What does this bank have to do with your family?"

Jia Cong said bluntly, "Our family is a shareholder."

Liu Feng said with a smile: "The third master is too modest, he is clearly a major shareholder."

Jia Cong also smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Dong Liu's family has worked hard!"

"Good talk, good talk."

Jia Cong changed the subject: "Since that's the case—" He pointed to the list that had not been put away on the desk, "You wrote this?" Liu Feng nodded. "What are you recording this for?"

Liu Feng said: "This year is going to be the end of the year. I want to take this to the Taiwan government to see Mr. She, and ask him if our bank should leave Shu." Jia Cong raised his eyebrows.Liu Feng looked innocent, "It wasn't until the third master came to Shu this time that I knew that you and the third highness have a very close personal relationship. Our bank business is very good, and I am afraid of following in the footsteps of these nineteen families."

Jia Cong argued: "The last time I saw you, I didn't hear what you said!"

Liu Fengdao: "Before I had time to say it, the third grandma sent someone out to say that she wanted to eat husband and wife lung slices, and the third master left me and bought them. Afterwards, I went there two times and never met the third master again. Ma Xing Some people said that you have been working with Mr. Qiu Liang every day."

Jia Cong was stunned: "It's the same with the third grandma." Liu Feng glanced at him and said nothing.

Situ Cen coughed twice: "Dong Liu, did you just say something important?"

Liu Feng nodded: "I just saw that the steward Xu Ershui was kidnapped by someone from His Highness the Third Highness."

"good."

"Your Highness, please don't ask anything, just cut this person off. The nineteen incidents of usurpation of private property are all pushed to his head."

Both Situ Cen and Jia Cong were shocked, Jia Cong blurted out and asked, "Why?"

Liu Feng thought for a moment and said: "I was just standing at the gate of Jixiang Embroidery Workshop, and I heard the people in the vicinity talking and guessing. Some people said, it's so weird, I never heard of the Third Highness doing these things before, could it be that something happened when I went to the West? It suddenly occurred to me that talking about the Third Highness, no matter whether it is the eldest son or the concubine's mother's family, they have never done these things for many years. At first I thought that the Third Highness found that the family's money was not enough because he was about to get married..."

Jia Cong hecked twice, and Situ Cen gave him an angry look.Jia Cong said: "If he has no money to send, he can just ask his elder brother for some."

Liu Feng said with a smile: "Recently, I learned that the two of you have friendship. I thought, the third master's friends are very good. Even if you are too lazy to make money and just want to grab it, you will not use your own name to grab it. There must be a misunderstanding here. Then I checked the accounts of our bank, and found out that it was the Uncle Guo who robbed the people's property."

Both Situ Cen and Jia Cong stood up!At the same time, he asked: "Check the accounts of your bank?! How do you know?"

Liu Fengdao: "Although there are many banks in Chengdu, we are the only ones who have opened a major customer account for deposits and withdrawals and cashed bank notes overseas. Therefore, the uncle of the country also opened an account in our bank. The managers of several industries have come to our bank to deposit money, and they all deposited the money into an account in the uncle's house." Nainahan looked at Jia Cong and said, "Don't you know, the third master? Didn't you return the money a few days ago? Ask who robbed the Jixiang Embroidery Workshop for His Highness the Third Highness?"

Jia Cong said in a daze: "I asked your third grandma! I was so busy that I didn't have time to check this, so I asked her to check it. She told me the next day that she was the younger brother of Princess Shu."

Liu Feng twitched the corner of his mouth: "The third grandma sent a little girl who only had her hair back to ask me. That clever little mouth! It's so good that I choked to death."

Jia Cong guessed it must be the bell, and immediately pointed to Situ Cen and said, "It was made by his wife, don't blame my wife!"

Situ Cen looked at Jia Cong and said, "That day when we held an APE in Dajiala, when the meeting was over, I heard from Minister Jia, the third daughter of your family, that Jia Cong understands when he understands, and makes people want to strangle him when he is confused. Know what it means."

Jia Cong shouted: "I really can't blame me! I don't know where she got it from." He waved his hand and said, "This section is skipped, it's not important at all. Liu Feng, you just said that those stewards deposited the money into the uncle of the country. Lord's 'one' account? How many accounts do they have?"

Liu Feng said: "Two, this one was newly opened in April." Situ Cen frowned: The first item on Liu Feng's list was April.

Jia Cong rested his cheeks and said, "Then... has anyone withdrawn money from that account?"

Liu Feng said: "There is no Shu country yet. Other countries don't know about it."

Situ Cen thought for a long time, but didn't quite understand: "What is this 'account' you are talking about?"

Liu Feng then roughly explained.HSBC Bank's major customer account deposits and withdrawals are only open to wealthy individuals with assets of more than one million silver.Customers can open an account at HSBC Bank and attach a stack of ten fingerprints.HSBC Bank sent these fingerprints to various branches of its own, and copied the account information of major customers to each branch every three months.Customers can deposit money into the account passbook at the HSBC bank in Chengdu; after three months, they can withdraw money at the Pingan branch of the HSBC bank with their passbook and their fingerprints.Not only do you not need to bring cash, you don’t even need to bring bank notes.

After hearing this, Situ Cen was shocked: "It can still be like this!"

Liu Feng said with a smile: "If there is no Jia family, this matter will not be possible."

Jia Cong said: "Speaking of which, I wanted to ask last time, why not update the data every month? Isn't three months too long?"

Liu Feng said indifferently: "Does the third master know how many millionaires there are in the country? Once every three months is already exhausting us." Jia Cong pursed his mouth.

Situ Cen took a deep breath: "So, my uncle has at least two millions of dollars in his hands?" Liu Feng nodded.

Jia Congqi asked, "Why do you need to open two accounts?"

Liu Feng said: "At first I thought that the second account was opened for His Highness the Third Highness. Now I feel that something is wrong. If it is not the Third Highness who amassed money, then it is the uncle Guo who used the name of the Third Highness to envoy. Then he Why open another account? It costs millions of silver to open an account."

Jia Cong looked sideways at Situ Cen.Situ Cen's face sank like water: "I didn't know he was so rich."

Jia Cong said: "A relative of the emperor, a million is really nothing."

Liu Feng coughed, lowered his head and said, "So I think that Uncle Guo is just helping others to make money."

Situ Cen waved his hand: "My son doesn't need to collect money."

Liu Feng said: "It may not be the prince."

Jia Cong said: "Who else is there besides the son?"

"I don't know." Liu Feng said, "I have never done these things before, but I am so anxious to collect money in the past half a year. I look like I have been blackmailed by someone."

Situ Cen took a deep breath, but Jia Cong remained silent.After a long while, Situ Cen looked at Liu Feng and said slowly, "Excuse me, cheat?"

Liu Feng said: "Otherwise, Uncle Guo has many ways to make money. It's not that he doesn't have money now, he just...cough cough." He looked up at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong raised his hand and said, "Isn't it just selling stolen goods, smuggling seafood and so on. If the relatives of the emperor don't rob people's property, they mostly get rich from these." Situ Cen was speechless for a while.

Liu Feng went on to say: "To be able to blackmail the Uncle Guo of the Shu Kingdom must have a strong background, and the Uncle Guo must have hardships that cannot be explained, and the shortcomings that other people have taken advantage of must be severe. If the Third Highness is blatant Check it...not sure what to find out." He closed his mouth.

Jia Cong said: "Hey, don't be hesitant. If you have any ideas, hurry up and finish it at once. After you finish talking, everyone can discuss it."

Liu Fengdao: "What I mean is that His Highness the Third Highness is only pretending to protect his shortcomings, and slaughtered that Xu Ershui first, making big things small and small things... for those who threaten Uncle Guo. Go back and investigate secretly."

Jia Cong said: "Check the size!" He looked at Situ Cen, "Just ask your uncle if it's all right?"

Liu Feng laughed and said: "Could it be that Uncle Guo will tell the truth? The Third Highness can't take uncle down and torture him to extract a confession."

"Hiss..." Jia Cong pondered for a moment, feeling really inconvenient.Simply spread your hands and look at Situ Cen.

Situ Cen had never dealt with this kind of thing before, he frowned and thought for a long time before sighing, "I don't know how to ask."

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "As the saying goes, if you are undecided about foreign affairs, ask Google, and if you are undecided about internal affairs, ask your wife. Ask your daughter-in-law if there is any way."

Situ Cen couldn't do anything for a while, so he really sent someone to invite Qiu Shi and Chen Ruijin.Not long after, two women came over.Ling Dang naturally followed Chen Ruijin.Seeing that Liu Feng was also in the study, he smiled and watched him lift his chin.Liu Feng's face was full of words that good men don't fight women.Jia Cong spoke quickly, crackling, and checked what happened today with Liu Feng.At the end he said: "It's really impossible, we have to wait three months to see who uses that passbook to withdraw money."

Qiu thought, "I'm afraid something will happen after three months."

Chen Ruijin suddenly said to Situ Cen: "Liu Feng is reliable, what does your Highness think?"

Situ Cen was slightly taken aback: "Although I met Liu Dong's family for the first time, I trust him." Liu Feng cupped his hands.

Chen Ruijin said: "The glass flower hall in your back garden is bright and spacious, why don't we go there and talk about it." Everyone's expressions moved slightly.The flower hall was originally built by Situ Cen to please Mrs. Qiu, but after it was built, it was discovered that it was a good place to discuss secret matters - outsiders could not eavesdrop.

Mrs. Qiu glanced at Chen Ruijin and said, "Your study outside is really stuffy and dark. Just follow Sister Chen, let's sit in the flower hall." The two of them spoke, and Jia Cong Situ Cen naturally agreed.Several people immediately moved to the glass flower hall.

Others waited outside including Zhou Hu, only Ling Dang followed in.After everyone sat down, Chen Ruijin glanced at everyone, and said, "Third Highness, just now I and the third concubine have interrogated two stable women, but nothing has been found. However, one of the stable women was looking at the third princess There's something odd about the eyes—a sort of conceit."

Everyone is surprised.Situ Cen said: "She is a stable woman and a prisoner. Look at my daughter-in-law, is she conceited?"

Chen Ruijin nodded: "Later we asked the officials who were adjudicating the case, and they all said that we had never seen her look like that before."

Mrs. Qiu thought: "When Sister Chen told them my identity, that old woman suddenly seemed to be a little more energetic."

Chen Ruijin said: "I have a vague idea in my heart, but it's still in a mess, so I can't express it for now. Liu Feng is a very organized person. You can help think about it." Then he glanced at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong started from the beginning, rectifying the administration of officials, the way of heavenly masters, underground prisons, and the robbing of private property by the uncle of the country.Finally said: "I suspect that these things are arranged by someone."

Liu Feng smiled and said: "There is no need to be suspicious? The third master just wants to think, what would happen if you and the third highness didn't go to the auspicious embroidery workshop for a moment of pleasure today. Those embroiderers and embroiderers would freeze to death or starve to death What kind of bureaucracy does the Third Highness want to rectify?"

Situ Cen said in annoyance: "This matter should be done by the prince! What do you want me to do?"

Chen Ruijin said: "The Third Highness rectified the administration of officials only recently. Uncle Guo has used your name to rob people's property for more than half a year."

Qiu Shi glanced at her man: "It's much cheaper to use his name than other princes. Even if someone sues, the prince and prince will protect him."

Chen Ruijin nodded: "That's right. Others may not be so bold as to bet that the prince won't act impartially." Situ Cen's eyes twitched.Chen Ruijin said, "I guess, only Princess Shu would dare."
