The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But he said that a young man from central Beijing was willing to sell rice grains to Su Tao at a price that was [-]% lower than the market price, just for the supply of steam mills.The leading yamen servant became more and more proud after hearing this.Therefore, the man was obviously a rich young master, and he didn't dare to show him face, saying: "I can't decide this matter, you can talk to our master. However, our master is busy with the case today, so he may not have time to see you."

The young man immediately took out an ingot of gold from his sleeve and handed it to him: "I would like to trouble you, brother officer, to help me."

Everyone looked at the gold, at least five taels, and their eyes were straightened!The yamen servant's face immediately looked like a spring breeze: "It's easy to say! I am the most familiar with our master's younger brother, Mr. Jia, and I will give you a few words of kindness later." He held the gold tightly for a few times and put it into his arms.Just mentioning Jia Cong, he knew that this gentleman was not easy to mess with.The man ordered himself to yell to go, but he didn't dare to go back just like that.After thinking for a moment, he turned around and ordered a little brother who had been friends with him to take the young man back to the yamen.

The young man didn't mind either, and made a salute to the yamen servants with a smile on his face: "Big brothers, if my business is successful, I will thank you all for your help, and I will never lose my word." say compliments.

The young man then followed the young yamen servant all the way to the gate of the government yamen. Seeing many people queuing outside, he asked why.The yamen servant said "ranking numbers to file a lawsuit".The young man frowned and said, "So, it's not easy for me to meet Mr. Su today?"

"It's not easy to see."

The young man pondered for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, please help me. No one knew about the steam mill, but now everyone spread the word with drums and gongs. It won't take long for every family, even people from other provinces to know about it. He took out a banknote and handed it to the yamen servant, and said with a smile, "I want to catch up early."

It was the first time that the yamen servant took back the money, so he took a few glances.Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he hurriedly put them into his arms, cupped his hands and said, "It's easy to talk about." The young man nodded with a smile.

The yamen servant asked him to wait outside the door, and stepped into the yamen by himself.Hiding in a secluded place, he quietly took out the bank note and took a look, then took a deep breath: 50 taels.It was the first time in his life that he saw so much money.Like a girl meeting her lover for the first time, her heart is pounding.After looking at it carefully for a long time, he carefully put it away next to his body.

Nai slipped into the lobby, where Su Tao was asking questions.Today is the first day of hearing, and the complainants all heard that the new magistrate was punished by the previous magistrate, and all of them were harmed by Xie's family, so right and wrong are clear.Su Tao's trial of this case was both joyful and aggrieved.What makes me happy is that I helped many common people get their grievances corrected, but what makes me feel aggrieved is that some people dared to sue after I have been in office for a few days.

The yamen servant then dodged behind the big pillar and poked out half of his head to take a look. Seeing Su Tao slap the gavel heavily, he pointed at some document on the desk and scolded: "It's shameless! What's the face of the imperial court!" Take charge of Wu Gui, and take the gold plate from the Feng family." Two guards with muskets on their backs agreed.The plaintiff knelt down and cried, "Master Qingtian! My father can rest in peace in heaven!"

Since the people from the Zhang family didn't come so soon, Su Tao took a sip of tea to rest for a while.Even if the yamen servant is a fool, he can see that the master is in a good mood at the moment, so he hurried forward to tell the matter about the young man outside.Su Tao was startled, and said in a low voice, "Steam grinder? Did Mr. Jia ask you to call it?"

"Exactly."

Su Tao frowned slightly, and ordered someone to come up and call Jia Cong.But the man searched around but didn't see Jia Cong, so he came back and said, "Mr. Jia is probably not in the government office." I had to order that person to be brought to the side room first to see him.The yamen servant went out with a smile on his face.

Not long after, he led the young man into the side room.Su Tao raised his eyes and saw that this person was in his twenties, with a height of eight feet, with clear eyes and steady steps.Although he is young, because he is wearing a dark blue gown and has a steady expression, he looks quite reliable.There is a soft hat on the head, and a piece of sapphire is installed on the top beam door.There is a book bag tied around his waist, and the book bag is embroidered with ink and bamboo.Su Tao's eyes were good, and he caught a glimpse of the beautifully embroidered book bag, and there was a small suet white jade pendant on the tassel.Su Tao didn't realize he had a good impression of this son.

The young man followed the yamen servants to Su Tao and bowed in front of Su Tao before he opened his mouth when he heard a sound of "嗖", and a golden vessel fell to the ground with a "clang".The young man stood in front of Su Tao in a flash, and a black shadow flew in from outside the window and rushed towards the young man.Su Tao didn't know what happened and was stunned.When he calmed down and took a look, the two figures in front of him were already in a ball.Su Tao is also a Muggle, so he couldn't see how they fought at all, so he hurriedly shouted: "Come on—"

But at this moment, someone knocked open the door and barged in. "Who is it—" the man shouted two words, and was stunned when he saw the messy figures and fighting.

Su Tao took a closer look, and it was Jia Cong who came.He hurriedly said, "Cong'er, you're here? I was looking for you just now, why didn't you disappear?"

Jia Cong said with a stiff face, "Brother just happened to go to the latrine... What's going on?"

Su Tao said: "I don't know either. What kind of steam grinder are you talking about? There is a young man who wants to inquire about the source of the supply." He pointed, "Before he had time to speak, someone broke in from the window. They started fighting."

Although Jia Cong couldn't see the moves of the two fighters, he could still see their shadows, one was wearing blue and the other was wearing gray.Zhenming is wearing gray clothes today.Nai said: "The old gentleman in gray is an elder we invited to help, and the one in blue is probably an assassin sent by Xie's family."

Immediately, someone shouted: "Nonsense! He is the assassin!"

As soon as the voice fell, it was as if the fast camera of a movie suddenly got stuck, and the Muggles could clearly see what was going on in the room.The man in the gray clothes was indeed the old man Zhenming, he held a dagger against the young man's neck, and said with a smile, "How dare you half-heartedly fight with me?"

Only then did Jia Cong understand the young man's appearance, so he didn't choke to death!The corner of his mouth twitched, and he asked, "Uncle, how did the two of you get on?"

Zhen Ming said: "I heard what you said to Yang Xiaozi just now. If it is really an assassin, Master Su will have been stabbed to death by the time you come slowly." Saying that, he let go of the young man.

It turned out that just after Jia Cong came out of the latrine, he met two civil servants and said, "Mr. Jia, just now your lord sent someone to look for you. It seems that there is something urgent." Jia Cong wanted to go to the lobby.

After walking two steps, I met Yang Guotai, he smiled and said, "Don't panic, your babysitter is here."

Jia Cong was taken aback: "What child care?"

Yang Guotai said: "Didn't you prepare a babysitter for the yamen servant who went out to yell?" He heard the yamen servant answering Su Tao just now, so he repeated it to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong was stunned: "I didn't arrange babysitting! According to the news last month, the steam disc grinder has just been tested and has not yet been mass-produced. Where does he know the name of this thing?"

Yang Guotai wondered: "No arrangement? This person sings the script according to your meaning in every sentence."

Jia Cong thought about it for a while, and almost wondered if he had lost his memory and arranged for someone to sing!Quickly asked: "What about the person who delivered the food?"

"Master Su asked me to lead you to the side room on the east side."

"Thank you!" Jia Cong ran away.

Coincidentally, Zhenming also heard it. I am afraid that the person who came was not a good person, so he stepped on the roof.Just glanced at the young man outside the window and saw that this young man was extremely skilled in martial arts, so he first surprised him with a hidden weapon.By the time Jia Cong ran in, they had already been fighting for a while.

Jia Cong rolled his eyes at the sky: "Can't you figure it out before you fight? It's my fault that I came quickly. It's a miracle that you two didn't break anything in this room with your fighting power."

The young man was aggrieved and said, "Master Su and I have just met and were about to discuss business. This old man suddenly jumped in from the outside and started fighting. Who is like an assassin..."

Jia Cong answered smoothly: "Uncle is more like an assassin."

Zhenming glared at him and said, "Didn't you say that no one next to the steam mill knows the name?"

"There is no way for outsiders to know, isn't there someone of our own?" Jia Cong curled his lips, "If you are skilled in martial arts, you must be an assassin? What is the difference between a man and a woman walking on the street who are adulterers, husbands, and wives?"

Zhenming raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead: "It's not big or small!"

Jia Cong pointed to Zhenming and said, "This is my uncle, whose lay surname is Shi. He became a monk in Tianning Temple, Nanchang Prefecture, and became a Taoist. His Taoist name is Zhenming." Lord, I won't go into details about the origin, uncle must have already guessed the tricks he played with others just now."

Zhenming said: "I guessed it as soon as we fought."

Jia Cong looked at Liu Xiaoqi: "Why don't you hurry up and salute my uncle? After all, he is your elder."

Liu Xiaoqi hastily bowed and saluted.Turning around to salute Su Tao again: "Your Excellency is frightened."

Su Tao's heart is in full bloom now.He knew that the Xie family had colluded with Lvlin for many years and had many masters in their hands; he didn't expect to have two such people on his side.Looking at the old and the young, they are really immortal, and Liu Ying is young and handsome, and he is comparable to Mr. Bao in the Song Dynasty.Nai smiled and twirled his beard and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, everyone is our own."

Jia Cong said: "What did I say, I obviously didn't arrange childcare. You are clever, acting like a real childcare."

Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I really want to buy a machine with my third brother."

"Pull it down!" Jia Cong gave him a sidelong glance, "You don't know the source of the goods?" Liu Xiaoqi giggled.

Su Tao hurriedly asked what the steam grinder was.Jia Cong called everyone to sit down, first described the machine with Su Tao in detail, and then talked about how Yang Guotai reminded him just now, how he arranged for the servants to go out to beat the gong to publicize, and how Zhenming misunderstood Liu Xiaoqi.At the end, he said: "This series is too fast, one after another, I don't have the time to explain it to everyone. Brother has to be busy trying the case." Shaking his head again, "Oh my god~~ I haven't heard anything from morning till night today. Ansheng, how many things happened!"

Su Tao laughed loudly: "No coincidence is a book!" Nai asked again, "Who is the Yang Guotai you mentioned just now?"

Jia Cong looked at him and then at Zhenming: "The name Yang Guotai...seems quite common. There are quite a few people with this name."

Su Tao was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

"It's nothing." Jia Cong turned his head and looked straight at Zhen Ming, "Uncle should know a man named 'Yang Guotai' in his heart, who is different."

I really understand that my eyebrows trembled: "It's him?"

Jia Cong nodded: "It's him. Do you want to thank him? Although you saved him this morning..."

Zhen Ming stood up and clasped his fists at Su Tao: "My lord, Pindao went out a little earlier."

Su Tao hurriedly stood up: "The old hero can go!"

Liu Xiaoqi blinked and said in a low voice: "Brother Cong...could be that Yang Guotai."

Jia Cong looked at him and said, "That's right, that's Yang Guotai." Liu Xiaoqi couldn't help taking a breath.Jia Cong kicked him, "White eyebrows and red eyes, what are you doing in Jiangxi? What's going on in Beijing?"

"There are people in the capital." Liu Xiaoqi said sternly, "I received a green forest post last month, so I rushed here."

"What green forest post?"

"There is a man named Guicha Hedu, has Third Brother Cong heard of it?"

The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "Who came up with such a tasteless and uncreative nickname."

Liu Xiaoqi said helplessly: "No wonder sister Chen said that you often have convulsions in your head and can't grasp the key points." Nai asked Su Tao sideways, "Does Master Su know?"

Jia Cong laughed and said, "How could he know?"

Unexpectedly, Su Tao pulled his back: "I know."

"Ah? You know?" Jia Cong was taken aback, "You actually know? Who is it?"

Su Tao said: "It's the leader of the green forest people. Haven't you seen it?"

"What? I've seen it?"

"It's the one who came to sue Lu Dong's family a few days ago."

"Huh? The dwarf?"

"good."

"I'll go!" Jia Cong curled his lips, "That dwarf doesn't look like a good person, to have such a vulgar nickname."

Liu Xiaoqi said helplessly: "How vulgar is that nickname? Third Master Cong don't judge people by their appearance, He Du is holding the green forest book in his hand."

"Fuck him!" Jia Cong snorted, "Green forests are the way of thieves. Thieves and thieves are disorderly, and where did disorder come from? He is bragging."

"Master Cong, don't take the literal meaning." Liu Xiaoqi said seriously, "The Green Forest Book is not the head book of the Green Forest people, but the list of the Green Forest people who are willing to kill people."

Jia Cong's eyes jumped: "Can I understand it as a list of professional killers?"

Liu Xiaoqi nodded: "Murder is the hottest business in the Green Forest. He Du knows best where to find these people, and whoever can take any business."

Jia Cong and Su Tao looked at each other, and said, "From this point of view, He Du can only be regarded as one of Old Man Lu's downlines. Old Man Lu pulls all kinds of pimps, and He Du specializes in providing killer resources."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "In the early years, people from the Green Forest were doing business in Jiangxi. Now that King Yan wants to rule Jiangxi, and Mr. Su is a powerful official, the business of the Green Forest has nowhere to go. He Du spread the Green Forest stickers widely and called the Green Forest people to discuss Countermeasures."

Jia Cong made up his mind, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just the legendary martial arts conference!"

Liu Xiaoqi squinted at him: "Of course not! Those who came here are all killers, not serious martial arts people."

"That's right." Jia Cong thought again, and laughed again, "It should be called the Killer Professional Conference! Hahaha, it's so interesting, will they set up a trade union..."

"Bang!" Su Tao replayed the case again, annoyed: "Is it interesting? Nanchang Mansion has only been safe for two days, and people will come to sue today. What if there are killers in the green forest all over the streets? The people can't make a living? "

It was the first time for Jia Cong to see the official power in Su Tao, and he hurriedly said, "Don't worry! Isn't it just a killer?" He pointed at Liu Xiaoqi, "What are you afraid of him doing? Isn't there someone with the surname Liu? ?”
