The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Jia Cong reminded Su Tao that there was a black account in Changfeng Building, and he almost fell on him.Su Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard that, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.After a long while, the voice trembled slightly: "There is no way out at all."

"Oh!" Jia Cong praised, "You're not so pedantic."

Su Tao smiled bitterly and said, "At least I am familiar with history books."

Jia Cong patted him on the shoulder: "It's good to be awake. Officials and gangsters can't live side by side, let's fight middle age! It's still very early."

Su Tao then went out to appease the people, told everyone to go back to have lunch first, and ordered people to wait at the gate of the yamen to wait for the dozens of boxes of account books to be completely burned before packing up.Jia Cong and others stood on the threshold and watched.Yang Guotai whispered to Jia Cong: "I just followed the group of people surnamed Lu..."

"The group of corn cob people?"

Yang Guotai said with a smile: "That's right. There's Guo Wang there."

"Who is Guo Wang?"

"Xie Jing's confidant is in charge." Yang Guotai said, "It's the son of the Dingcheng Hou's family who followed him from the capital."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Mr. Su guessed right, these things have nothing to do with Xie Jing." Nai paused, "I'll go to Mr. Su, do you still want to visit the apprentice? Or what? ?”

Yang Guotai let out a long sigh, waved his hands and said, "I'm not energetic right now. Let's talk about it later."

"Well, you rest."

Jia Cong went out and ran straight to Su's mansion, and then to Su Zheng's courtyard.Su Tao's son was having lunch with the old man, so he got up quickly when he came in.Jia Cong ravaged the child's head a few times, then asked Su Zheng a question in a low voice; Su Zheng thought for a moment and answered.Jia Cong was stunned.After a long time, when I came back to my senses, I ran away with a "Ouch".Su Zheng yelled a few times to ask what he was doing, but Jia Cong didn't seem to hear.

Chen Ruijin was talking to the old man in the cell at the moment, when the door slammed open, Jia Cong broke in with a face like gold paper and grabbed her: "Come on! Something is up!" Chen Ruijin didn't say anything Get off the old beard and leave.The old beard was arguing with Chen Ruijin with a smile but not a smile, and was taken aback when he saw this.Before he could recover, the door was closed, and someone outside clicked the lock.

Jia Cong dragged Chen Ruijin out of the yamen, ran all the way back to Su Mansion, and entered his guest courtyard.When they arrived at the room where the two of them lived, they asked in a low voice, "Where's the transmitter?"

Chen Ruijin said: "It's in the cabinet."

"Without the help of others, can you send the report?"

"Yes." Chen Ruijin said, "Should I send it now?"

Jia Cong nodded: "Send a coded telegram to Uncle Wu. Ask him if the surname Mei can move freely now, and if he can, arrest him immediately and lock him up tightly."

The corner of Chen Ruijin's eyes twitched: "The one whose surname was Mei captured by Shu State?"

"Ah."

When they left the Kingdom of Shu that day, Liu Feng sent another person to send Ling Dang and his family to Taiwan, and took Mr. Namei away by the way, and they had already arrived in Dajiala for many days.Chen Ruijin took out the transmitter and battery, and sent a telegram by himself.Jia Cong closed his eyes, with thousands of thoughts rolling in his mind.After sending the telegram, Chen Ruijin packed up his things and sat aside to watch him.

After a long time, Jia Cong said slowly: "I suspect that Gu Erdai is a literati, and he started with this alias. Ordinary people will try their best to make their aliases mediocre, such as Zhang San Li Si Wang Er. Not to mention the name, the surname will probably pick something common Yes, such as Zhang Wang, Zhao Li and Liu. It is very strange to choose the word "Gu" as a pseudonym. At first I thought, maybe Gu was his mother's surname, or changed his surname for some reason. This is the original surname. .And the pseudonym 'Er Dai' is very rustic. In short, if he is called Gu Er or Zhang Er Dai, it would be more harmonious. I have a little doubt whether this person is a literati - literati love to play word games." Chen Ruijin pointed nodded.

"Then there are the pigeons we shot down that day. Since the manager reported the news to the owner, why should he be so polite? So, either the old man Lu, the owner of Changfeng Building, is a sham, and the serious manager is another literati, or the owner Aiwen, Lu The old man didn't realize that he liked it. I just came to ask Mr. Su, if the enigma is 'Gu Erdai', he might guess it if he typed a word." Jia Cong said calmly, "Mr. Su immediately said, '槑' It’s the ancient style of plum characters.”

Chen Ruijin frowned slightly, and said: "It may not be the surname Mei. It is also unknown if the word 'Mei' is in the name."

Jia Cong said: "Gu Erdai helped General Yang assassinate the late emperor. General Yang almost died, but the late emperor did not die, but he was not well. If so, he did not abdicate until two years later. How old is Gu Erdai?" Leisure? Helping others to kill the king? There must be a reason for him to make this arrangement. General Yang was probably picked out too—the late emperor did a lot of foolish things in those years, and there were quite a few people who wanted to kill the king and take revenge. Among the many candidates It takes a lot of time and energy to choose General Yang from among the people. As the saying goes, whoever benefits is the murderer. In this matter, the one who benefits is the most obvious: the third prince and the Supreme Emperor."

"Guess, Gu Erdai belongs to the Supreme Emperor?"

"It used to be, but not now." Jia Cong said, "Gu Erdai is either Mr. Mei's father or his grandfather. Anyway, he was originally Liu Dengxi's man. Without the help of Liu Dengxi's palace figures, no matter whether he is a court official or a green forest hero. Don't even think about arranging an assassin to kill the king. Mr. Mei is just inheriting his father's business. He said that Han Quan's belly pocket was written by him, I believe it. There is no need to lie about such things. Their family is still loyal. They contacted Eunuch Dai Quan in the palace and managed to hide the youngest son of the Supreme Emperor to avoid accidents. By the way, he still has the token of King Lu in his hand. I believe that although he is a multi-faceted spy, in fact He thinks that he is the person that Lao Tzu placed next to his son. Although we are not very clear about these things, the direction is quite clear."

"Who knows that not only the Taishang Huang disappeared for one year, two years, three years, but even Liu Dengxi died. Is it easy for others to be a spy? The top is gone! What else are you playing?"

Chen Ruijin raised his right hand: "Wait! When this Changfeng Pavilion opened for business, the Supreme Emperor hadn't been to Jinggangshan yet."

Jia Cong said: "Isn't it normal for the government to set up an eyeliner in the green forest? Besides, Xie Jingben is the uncle of the Seventh Prince. Liu Dengxi will not tell the Supreme Emperor all these trivial matters. He has to deal with the court and the late emperor, so he doesn't have the energy How did Liu Dengxi know that he would die so early."

Chen Ruijin thought for a while: "It makes sense. You continue."

"Since the master is gone, we have to find a new master or stand on our own. The Mei family is uncertain. They don't know who to find a new master. The cheaper ones are King Lu and Han Quan, so Mr. Mei is helping King Lu As a matter of fact, the Mei family is still doing green forest business with Xie Jing. Self-reliance, I don’t have the guts. The ancients said that a scholar can’t rebel for three years. The Mei family is all literati, not rebellious material. Second, people know too much, and they feel guilty without the protection of Situ. To put it bluntly, if Changfeng Tower is not a secret door of Jinyiwei, anyone will be wiped out by them."

Chen Ruijin couldn't help but shoot the case: "Jinyiwei!"

"what?"

"Isn't that what Jin Yiwei does?" Chen Ruijin said, "Jin Yiwei knows whoever has done something secretly. Anyone who wants to arrest a saint must have evidence of his crime. What you are talking about is that the Changfeng Tower can be opened for so long and paid back. It wasn't destroyed by someone, unless it was Jin Yiwei." She stood up, opened the cabinet, and took out the transmitter again.

Jia Cong asked, "What?"

"Send a telegram to Uncle Wu." Chen Ruijin said while setting up the transmitter, "Uncle Wu has some files in Jin Yiwei, and Uncle Feng has some. They were independent back then, but now they are together. I asked Ask Uncle Wu if he has checked with Feng Ziying. If there is anything missing, it will be in Changfeng Tower."

"That's right!" Jia Cong nodded repeatedly.So he honestly waited for his wife to send the report.Now that he was in a stable mood, he looked at Chen Ruijin's fingers eagerly, and said, "Daughter-in-law—"

"Ok?"

"Your hands are so pretty."

Chen Ruijin rolled his eyes at him: "Don't be noisy." Jia Cong took a good look from the side.After the telegram was sent, Chen Ruijin couldn't help but his face was full of glow, and he gave him another look, "What else are you thinking about? Let me listen to it."

Jia Cong had made up a lot of indescribable things in his mind at this moment, so he had to take it back forcefully, coughing twice: "After the disappearance of the Supreme Emperor, Changfeng Building relied on Xie Jing, the prefect of Jiangxi. By the way, he explained why Xie Jing could receive it. So many black taxes—if it wasn’t for the help of Changfenglou, the Greenwood hypermarket, where would he know what kind of business the Greenwood people have done? Wouldn’t they trade secretly?”

Chen Ruijin said: "Green forests are all profitable businesses. Since the Xie family has collected black taxes, it is not sure what the fat has become over the years. It's just that there is a suspicion of knowing too much."

Jia Cong said: "It's not easy to be a steward in the Dingcheng Hou's mansion. Anyway, Mr. Xie doesn't know anything, he just collects taxes. Originally, Xie Jing's protection fee and the Mei family's business. Even if you don't become the uncle of the country or the Jinyiwei , Both of these two families can live quite well. The unlucky Xie Jing risked his life to flirt with Han Quan, causing trouble to the King of Yan and dismissing him. The new prefect Su Tao is a good person and will not take over the position of backer of the forest. So Changfeng House had two choices. One, to do business elsewhere; the other, try to empty Su Tao, so that he, the magistrate, can't do serious things and have no time to manage their business."

"Changing to another place is once and for all, but they have been in business for so many years, and they don't even change the name if they change shopkeepers halfway through. They only change 'Ge' to 'Lou', which shows that Changfeng Building has formed a brand in the green forest. If you switch to another place, it will be as if the reputation of hard work in the past ten years has been completely ruined. People are reluctant."

Chen Ruijin smiled and said, "What a 'reluctant'."

Jia Cong also laughed: "The Xie family left a lot of properties in Jiangxi, all of which are money! Naturally, they are reluctant. If the official is lost, the uncle of the country will not be able to become, so the money still has to be earned, right? So I tried my best to give it to Mr. Su. Adding to the chaos. Originally, the old and new magistrates had a contest, which was quite dramatic. Another thing happened in the old year—the Supreme Emperor reappeared in the world and recruited Mr. Mei to the Kingdom of Shu."

Chen Ruijin thought, "Mr. Mei surrendered very neatly."

"Because he tried in the past." Jia Cong said, "To test how capable the Supreme Emperor is now, and whether he can still follow. The result of the test is that he can't. I believe that when he wanted to surrender us, he was quite sincere."

"Did you change your mind later?"

Jia Cong bared his teeth: "Later, he followed our people to the Taiwan government and met Uncle Wu. If he surrendered sincerely and had ability, Uncle Wu would still cherish his talent. According to the usual practice, he had to be released for training. That is to say, he can move around freely, and he can see the streets and alleys of Dajiala, customs, and elementary school education. He used to only suspect that I wanted to rebel, but he was able to affirm this section after he arrived in Taiwan. However, he also discovered Dajiala is not the same as the capital city. Under the light of Mr. Lin’s righteousness, and that idiot Tian Gengzi never opened the back door in the law, and the new law that was tried out a while ago was also introduced—Mr. Mei is very happy. It's easy to see that we're going our separate ways and going our separate ways."

"Also, there are armed policemen with guns all over the streets in Dajialan, which shows that the Taiwan government's force is extremely high. As the senior brother of the three of us, Su Tao borrows soldiers from us. It's just a matter of saying. If Su Tao has Huo. Gun team, Xie Jing still wants to keep his power in Jiangxi like a daydream. Xie Jing will definitely fall; if Xie Jing falls, even if he abandons his pawns and saves the car, he can’t stay in Changfeng Building. There must be a scapegoat, right?"

"Mr. Mei was originally a multi-faceted spy. As long as those who stare at him are lax, he can try to deliver letters to the capital. The few of us strolled slowly on the road, and his letters were sent out in a hurry, and the other side of the capital was in a hurry. The order to come to Nanchang Mansion was a coincidence. First, they wanted to silence General Yang so that they could hide themselves; Uncle will not trust Mr. Mei so easily, he will definitely not be able to leave Dajiala. In this way, it is equivalent to having a hostage of the Mei family in our hands. The Mei family is in such a hurry, they are more or less afraid that their men will be here Something happened to Dajiala."

"When there was a group fight that day, senior brother was the first victim who lost face, General Yang was the second victim who was the assassination target, and Lu Dong's family in Changfeng Building was the third victim. His master has abandoned him, and he doesn't know yet."

"Finally, those dozens of boxes of account books today. I failed to assassinate General Yang twice—how could people guess that we have a cheater as big as my uncle? And that little clever kid Cheng'er—the details of the Mei family will be revealed sooner or later." Expose it to us. Now that that’s the case, let’s make a last-ditch effort: send the black account to the magistrate’s yamen, and let everyone who has done business in Changfeng Building know that their secrets are all in the hands of Senior Brother Su.”

Chen Ruijin raised his eyes and asked, "What is the account book?"

"Oh, I haven't had time to tell you yet." Jia Cong told the whole story of what happened outside just now, but stroked the back of his neck and said, "It's dangerous! I'm too careful. It doesn't matter whether they have backed up or not. , that thing cannot enter the gate of the government office."

Chen Ruijin nodded, and glanced at him: "You're too quick to think."

Jia Cong said "hehe" twice: "That old Hutou, I guess it should be from the Xie family. Because General Yang was left behind by the Mei family. Since it is necessary to find out for Mr. Su, the two families naturally have to keep people. "

Chen Ruijin laughed suddenly: "Xie Jing is not an easy-going lamp either. I don't know if he has any secrets from the Mei family."
