The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Bell has the best memory and has a photographic memory.After returning to the Su Mansion, she consciously wrote the booklet given by Li Tao.Chen Ruijin saw that the purse was gone, and Jia Cong hurriedly raised his hands: "I pretended not to notice on purpose."

Chen Ruijin said indifferently: "Forget it, you just didn't pay attention, you didn't pretend."

Liu Xiaoqi complained from the side: "Third grandma, he not only flirts with that fan, but also writes poems for him!"

"Hey, there is no such out of context!" Jia Cong hurriedly read out the poem he "wrote".That one was copied from Mr. Yu Dafu, and he changed a few words. "It's obviously a rejection, isn't it?"

Liu Xiaoqi ignited the flames: "You're still staring at him! Third grandma, that oiran..." He suddenly shut up.

Jia Cong gave him a sideways glance: "It's not the same as what you said." From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Chen Ruijin's eyes had narrowed, and raised his hands again, "Daughter-in-law, will you be lenient when you confess?"

"You confess first, and deal with it as appropriate."

"To be honest, I think there are very few people who can handle it better than me." Jia Cong said seriously, "I have a high EQ." He didn't hide anything, and confessed from the beginning.When Li Tao called him that he had never slept with Miss Yaoyao, she said, "This girl either surrendered secretly, or she just became a spy for a few days."

Chen Ruijin put on a poker face: "Oh, why not."

Jia Cong said: "Such a big loophole is not intentionally leaked, it is lack of experience."

"Hmm." Chen Ruijin was noncommittal.

Jia Cong couldn't help shrinking his neck, and continued.Talking about the two booklets, he said: "The second big flaw is that the poems were not written by her." Nai explained, "There are some very clear thoughts of straight men in them, looking forward to the beauty of the flowers, the left and the right. Hugging, rather than winning, a beloved man is forever. Also, there are a lot of quotations from the scriptures, and the artistic conception is vicissitudes. The woman is only 23 or [-] years old, and she can't imagine her thoughts. Those poems were copied by her."

Chen Ruijin nodded slightly, and asked, "Where is the other booklet?"

Jia Cong took a deep breath: "Green Forest Book."

Chen Ruijin was slightly startled.After a while, he said, "Is it true?"

"I don't know, let's take a look after Ling Ding finished writing. And I think she is still hinting at something else." Talking about Pipa Xing again.

Chen Ruijin pondered: "Is this going to war?"

Jia Cong said: "It's a bit like it." Nai said it to the end in one breath.

Chen Ruijin thought for a long time, then asked Liu Xiaoqi: "What do you think?"

Liu Xiaoqi said briefly: "Someone wants to assassinate Mr. Su."

Chen Ruijin nodded: "I see the same thing. But now there are three big inner guards and one Zhenming Daoist living in the Su residence, who has this ability?"

Jia Cong raised his hand: "Isn't it just the two of you who are the guards in the palace? Where did the three come from?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "My elder brother Liu Hu is following Daoist Zhenming."

"Oh yes." Jia Cong squeezed his chin, "For this kind of thing, you have to predict the enemy plane first. The current clues are not enough to guess."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I will follow Master Su first."

Chen Ruijin shook his head: "Tell your elder brother to follow him. You have shown up many times, and occasionally you have to go to the shop to do something. Don't let Cheng'er know."

Liu Xiaoqi immediately said: "Miss Su has a clear mind, and it's about her father, so let her know better. Besides, the other party's strategy is specifically aimed at Mr. Su's personality and habits, how do we know."

"You have to die naturally and without arousing suspicion." Jia Cong said, "Otherwise, when we didn't come earlier, relying on General Yang Guotai's martial arts skills, we could have killed more than ten old people."

Then the two men looked at Chen Ruijin.Chen Ruijin thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Quietly call Cheng'er."

"I'll go, I'll go!" Before the words finished, Liu Xiaoqi jumped out of the window.

Not long after, the two of them came back, and Jia Cong recounted the story from the beginning.Only halfway through, Bell finished writing.Then Liu Xiaoqi went on to say, Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin read the brochure first.

This booklet is recorded by province. Jia Cong clicked his tongue again and again: "This thing must be an act of the government. It's terrible execution. The imperial court has been disbanded for so long." Looking at it from the top, there is Ge, the leader of the Panlong Mountain bandit in Hebei. He is famous as a woodcutter, as well as Wang Wu, the bandit leader of Taihu Lake in Yingtian Mansion, and Fang Yifei, the bandit leader of Buffalo Mountain in Jiannan.Fang Yifei's entry states: Moved from Maoliling to Mopanshan in a certain month in a certain year.In a certain month of a certain year, it was broken by the Shu army, and now it fled to Mount Buffalo.

The one with the most entries is naturally Jiangxi.Originally, there were many and dangerous mountains in Jiangxi, and there were bandits on almost every mountain.The place with the largest number of people was originally Jinggangshan.The earliest bandit leader, Xu Kang, was the youngest son of Xu Hongzhi, the Jiangxi General Soldier. After this man died of illness, the army was taken over by his aide Wan Zhang, and now he has surrendered to the new Jiangxi General Li Guopei.The second is the people of Xu Kang's elder brother Xu Qi, who hide in Dayuling in the south, and they are basically officers and soldiers.After years of development, the number of people has exceeded [-].The remaining seven or eight bandits were led by Xu Hong's generals.What's weird is that Xu Qi's entry has a circle behind it, and the entry of thirteen gangs of bandits has also been circled, including all of Xu Hong's men and horses.

Jia Cong felt strange, and called Bell over and asked, "This circle?"

Ling Dang said: "She drew a circle on that booklet, and my drawing is more round than hers."

Jia Cong nodded: "Good boy." Nai and Chen Ruijin looked at each other.

After a while, Su Cheng listened to Liu Xiaoqi's story, and Chen Ruijin handed her the brochure without saying a word.Su Cheng's face was drained of color, he took two deep breaths, took the booklet and read it from the beginning.Everyone waited silently.After she finished reading, Liu Xiaoqi handed over a cup of tea.Su Cheng raised his neck and gulped it down.

Jia Congnai said: "Everyone express their own opinions. First of all, those circles, and Li Tao's 'iron cavalry protruding with swords and guns' hint, in my opinion, I am afraid that some bandits are going to attack Nanchang Mansion recently." Chen Ruijin and Liu Xiaoqi nodded.Jia Cong looked at Su Cheng and said, "Our original plan was to let Xiaoqi's eldest brother guard your father, but now it seems that it will not work. I am troublesome Taoist Master Zhenming to guard against assassins, Xiaoqi and Brother Liu have to help out to investigate. They are very skilled. , Strong concealment ability. If the bandits in the circle join forces, the number will be almost 3000. There are less than [-] soldiers in Nanchang Mansion and they are not at the disposal of Senior Brother Su. The [-] men sent by Li Guopei to guard the grain and grass will leave tomorrow. Oops!" He slapped the table and said, "Those people can't let them go!" Nai hurriedly stretched his head outside to call for someone.

A guard came over, and Jia Cong ordered: "Go to the magistrate's yamen and find the officer in the military room. You can accompany him to see General Qi, who is in charge of the Yan army's grain and grass. Tell him that I have something urgent and ask him to come to Su's house immediately." see me."

Just as the guard agreed to leave, Chen Ruijin said again: "Brother Liuhu will go outside the city to check now." Jia Cong hurriedly called another guard to look for Liuhu.After thinking about it, he sent someone to invite Yang Erbo, Yang Qianli.

He had just returned to the house and sat down when Su Cheng suddenly said, "Why did that Li Tao ask Uncle Cong to meet today?" Jia Cong's eyes moved.She went on to say, "General Qi is leaving tomorrow. If I meet Uncle Cong again tomorrow, will it be too late?" Su Cheng's eyes are clear now, even shining brightly, "Since she is sincere, she must Don't want us to lose."

Jia Cong nodded again and again: "Maybe they are just waiting for General Qi to leave."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "By the way, grab the food."

Su Cheng said: "Food doesn't matter. There are many granaries outside the city. Since they are bandits, they can just rob them. The important thing is soldiers." She thought for a moment, "Uncle and Auntie, I think we underestimated our opponents before."

Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin said in unison: "Tell me and listen."

Su Cheng pointed to the booklet and said, "These bandits have been in power for many years. If they joined forces, how could they be persuaded in three to five months? Even with a tongue like Uncle Cong's, you have to meet the bandit leader. Moreover, the neighbors have been building roads in the past ten years, and several official roads in Jiangxi were actually repaired by Mr. Wang Ziteng, who sent troops to guard and help them, for the convenience of merchants in Guangdong and Guangxi. The only remaining officers and soldiers in Jiangxi also led With Wang Ziteng's allowance, I concentrate on guarding against those official roads, and don't care about other places. The mountain roads are so rugged. If I want to go to the bandits' territory, I don't know how long I will run just to deliver the letter. If I run alone, I will run from the time my father arrives. , may not be able to run to the end."

Jia Cong said: "If the opponent has several lobbyists and has been in contact with these bandits for many years, we can contact them early."

Su Cheng continued: "The Supreme Emperor left Jinggangshan the year before last, and those who knew the details should have guessed that the prefect of Jiangxi must be replaced."

"No." Chen Ruijin said, "King Yan knew that Xie Jing hid the Seventh Prince before he was not prepared to replace him. There is no other reason, so he can't take care of it. Jiangxi's small land, how can it compare with the gold mines in North America? important."

Su Cheng nodded: "Yes, Auntie is right. Xie Jing and these green forest people have long been in trouble. It's still aimed at my father."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "If the opponent was Jin Yiwei earlier..."

Jia Cong said: "No need to assume." He glanced at the brochure, "The manpower is so meticulously arranged, except for the imperial court, no other family has this ability."

Liu Xiaoqi went on to say: "Jin Yiwei should know best that no one can stop what the court wants to do. Even if Master Su is killed, can the bandits ascend to the sky? Not to mention that Li Guopei is not a vegetarian at all, no matter King Yan or Nanbian Even Wang Ziteng will not let Jiangxi be full of bandits."

Jia Cong thought for a while: "Last year King Yan wanted to replace Xie Jing, but he didn't waste his brains in choosing a successor. Senior Brother Su still dug him from Chu State. King Yan also lacks talents, especially now that Lien Chan and Lian Jie are in North America. , Small-scale immigration has already begun. Officials are also needed there—otherwise, everyone will flock to dig such a big gold mine, so there must be no mess.”

Su Cheng said: "The opponent has secretly found a suitable candidate for the prefect of Jiangxi, and has placed a lobbyist beside the King of Yan. If my father is gone, his lobbyist can go forward and persuade the King of Yan to choose that person as his successor. As for these bandits— —" She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's almost the hardest bone to crack. General Li Guopei has suppressed the bandits for more than a year, so cut off the rest of the branches and leaves first, and save these for the last bite."

Jia Cong snapped his fingers: "The bandits are hard to suppress because they are hidden in the deep mountains. Now they have all moved away from the mountains and gathered to attack Nanchang Mansion. Li Guopei's distant water cannot save the nearby fire. Nanchang City was destroyed, and the prefect Su Tao died in battle. Li Guopei Starry Night He rushed to recover Nanchang, and wiped out the bandits easily—Jiangxi is surrounded by mountains in the south, east, and west, but the north is flat; and Nanchang is in the north. Once they leave the easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack land, they are no match for Li Guopei." He paused, "After the war, Nanchang, the provincial capital, must be devastated, and no one is willing to take over this mess. If there is a suitable candidate, King Yan will probably agree after the recommendation." Nai tutted, "What a big appetite!"

"Wait!" Liu Xiaoqi said, "Master Su has so many masters around him, even if Nanchang City is destroyed, he won't die."

"People must have a plan." Jia Cong said, "Now we have to guess their plan."

Liu Xiaoqi muttered, "It's like I didn't say anything."

After a while, someone from outside came to report that General Qi and the military officials came.Jia Cong hurriedly asked to come in.Chen Ruijin smiled when he saw the pawn: "It's you."

The officer in the military room was also overjoyed to see Chen Ruijin, and bowed to the ground: "My lord! I never thought I would see him again! Your lord is majestic and heroic, and the servant will always remember it in his heart."

Jia Cong glanced at the two of them from the side, and then stepped closer to Chen Ruijin and hugged her shoulder: "Daughter-in-law, do you recognize him?"

Chen Ruijin said: "On the day I first arrived in Nanchang Mansion, Mr. Su asked me to go to Zhuzi Street to seal up Xie's shop? This gentleman happened to be shopping in Chulongzhai. I asked him to find out about the shop."

"Oh!" Jia Cong was stunned, his arm still on his daughter-in-law's shoulder, "My daughter-in-law was so majestic that day~~" Chen Ruijin looked at him sideways, and then at the hand on her shoulder.Jia Cong didn't move at all, and pressed his palm tightly.

Liu Xiaoqi coughed twice: "Well... let's get down to business."

Su Cheng Yingying stood up and saluted the two of them gracefully: "Please sit down, both of you." The pawn was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly returned the salute with General Qi.Bell is clever and has moved two chairs.Everyone takes their seats.Because I asked the official's name, his surname was Tu and his name was Yaozu.Jia Cong pouted, secretly slandering that the name was so vulgar.

Su Chengnai said solemnly: "General Qi, we have a detailed report to report that some bandits have gathered more than a dozen places to rob the general's food and grass, and they have already set up an ambush, waiting for the general to leave the city."

General Qi was shocked: "Who is so rampant!"

"There is no evidence yet, [-]% are Xie Jing's people." Su Cheng said, "After getting the food, they still plan to attack Nanchang Mansion."

General Qi became anxious: "Nanchang Mansion has no soldiers at all!"

"Don't worry." Su Cheng said with a smile, "It's not a day or two since Nanchang Mansion has no soldiers. Didn't the bandits come to bother you before?"

General Qi slapped his thigh: "Isn't it! Why is there no one to pick up such a big fat mutton?"

"Earlier, Nanchang Wei still had government soldiers, but they were not under the control of the prefect. Now these people have been dispatched by you General Li to suppress bandits." Su Cheng gave him an angry look, "Only four to five hundred old, weak, sick and disabled are left. Look at the barracks. However, no one came to disturb them. Because—" She paused, "Every big family in the city has many guards. If there are bandits coming, these people can protect the rich family. Poor people What can the bandits snatch?"

General Qi thought for a while: "I remember, Nanchang Wei's soldiers went to Wugong Mountain. It's not far from Nanchang Mansion."

Su Cheng looked at Liu Xiaoqi: "If you go to dispatch the soldiers from Wugong Mountain right now, when will you arrive?" Liu Xiaoqi was about to answer, when she suddenly said, "I know!" She glanced at everyone, "If there are bandits attacking the city, my father will definitely go to the city gate to command the resistance! That place is the cheapest place to assassinate."
