The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Although Feng Ziying has the name of a cabinet scholar, he has always been doing Jinyiwei's activities, and he is best at arresting people silently.What's more, now there are brothers from the Liu family to help.That night, Sun Shaozu was eating wine at home, and he fell drunk for no reason after eating three or four cups.When he woke up, he was tied up in a room, and two young men in black looked at him with smiles.Sun Shaozu rarely asked nonsense such as "where is this", "who are you".While talking, he looked around and suddenly saw a portrait hanging on the wall. It was the man Jia Cong showed him in the morning, but he was dressed in ordinary clothes.

A young man pointed out: "I know that General Sun and this gentleman recognize each other."

Another said: "There are many interesting instruments of torture next door. If General Sun doesn't recognize this person, it's better to go to the next door to recognize the instruments of torture."

Sun Shaozu had a strange expression on his face, obviously knowing the truth.It's just that it's not worth suffering for this person, so I thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Why do you arrest me for such a trivial matter? Untie the rope quickly, and I will tell you what to listen to."

The young man smiled and said, "It's easy to handle. Let us listen after you finish talking first. If someone finds it, he will let you go."

Sun Shaozu said: "This master is not a teacher, but a monk. He was called Hearing the Dharma. He was a monk at Haiguang Temple in Tianjin, and he came to the capital six years ago. Now he lives in Wanshou Temple. Although he is young, he is considered an eminent monk. "

"Oh? It turned out to be a monk. How did you know him?"

"I never had anything to do with what he did."

"Oh."

Sun Shaozu sighed: "I knew that sooner or later something would happen to him."

It turned out that the monk who heard the Dharma was a monk on the surface, but secretly he was not taboo about meat and vegetables, and slept in willows and flowers.In addition, he also did some activities to help people find ways to sell stolen goods, and even pimped young monks and helped them hook up widows or unfavored wives and concubines from wealthy families.However, this man has a handsome appearance, superb Dharma, and excellent skills in bed, and all the women who have affairs with him are devoted to him.Sun Shaozu often discusses with him the art of double cultivation, so he is quite familiar with it.

The young man who interrogated him laughed and said, "Which woman is he having an affair with?"

"There are too many." Sun Shaozu smiled, "Think about it, how many rich families in Beijing? How many women in the backyard? There are at most two or three who are favored, and the rest are out of favor. Even if they are favored, they cannot be favored until they are 30 years old, let alone widows. Women in their thirties and forties are like wolves and tigers, but without the nourishment of men, the long night is so hard. Why don't you go to a Taoist temple for incense and quietness every ten days and a half months, and pray in front of the former Buddha Rain and dew. He can be regarded as a rescuer."

The young man nodded: "It also makes sense. Who has he hooked up with? Who has he pimped for?"

"I don't know about that." Sun Shaozu said, "Anyway, this monk is a wonderful person, with great skills and a good job."

The young man smiled: "Even if you don't know everything, you must know a lot; even if it's not true, you'll know some of it. Master Sun, let's talk about it, so everyone can save trouble."

Although Sun Shaozu had friendship with Monk Wenfa, he didn't want to get himself into trouble because of him, so he told everything he knew.He counted more than twenty in a row, and finally mentioned the name of Grandma Zhu in Rongguo Mansion.Jia Cong was also hearing the trial next door and almost jumped up.Fortunately, Sun Shaozu said that the guy was drunk at the time, and only said that he was going to do it, but he didn't know if he would succeed.Jia Cong smiled wryly: I guess he knew why he lied—he was afraid that something would happen to the Rongguo Mansion if Wenfa had something to do with Li Wan.I really can't blame him for this matter, someone else might pretend not to know.

After the interrogation was over, the two interrogators left Sun Shaozu behind and came out.Feng Ziying and others next door looked at each other.After a while, Feng Ziying said first: "I know that the monk Wenfa helps people find ways to sell their stolen goods, but I don't know that he is also involved in people's backyard."

Jia Cong first ordered someone to invite Luo Tainiang, and then said: "Someone under your command should be responsible for collecting information from the circle of monks and Taoists. You don't know what even Sun Shaozu knew, so you can only hide it from you on purpose. Since you heard the Dharma It's King Yan's hole card, and your subordinate is probably the same."

Feng Ziying sneered: "I know." After a moment of hesitation, "Grandma Zhu?"

"Sister-in-law Zhu, I understand." Jia Cong said, "It's not a woman who is easy to deceive. These years, she has power in her hands and has a son by her side. Lan'er even accompanied her to go shopping in Beijing." He thought for a while, "Go back I will find her to find out about this person."

"The origin of hearing the Dharma is also interesting." Feng Ziying said, "This person is the concubine of Lu Dezhi, the general soldier in Tianjin, and Mr. Lu is the confidant of King Yan."

Jia Cong asked: "There are also officials and bandits under King Yan, right? Do you know who is the leader, Brother Feng?"

"Zhang Lu, the first Yanshan bandit." Feng Ziying said, "I have not subdued this person."

Jia Cong nodded: "Then the King of Yan may have hidden his troops in the bandits, similar to Jinggang Mountain, so it is considered a secret."

"I just got the news yesterday that Lu Dezhi is still in Tianjin, and he still doesn't know that King Yan in Beijing is a substitute."

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Really?" Feng Ziying was startled.

Not long after, Luo Tainiang came over.She also knew about it, and she knew it better than Sun Shaozu.It's just that she said that she didn't hook up with Li Wan after hearing the Dharma, and Li Wan was mediocre in terms of monkhood.Jia Cong asked her if she had a list, and Luo Tainiang smiled and said, "I remember roughly." Then she also counted about twenty.Jia Cong and Feng Ziying were shocked: it was exactly the same as what Sun Shaozu said.

Jia Cong couldn't help standing up: "Such a perfect coincidence must be intentional."

Feng Ziying took Sun Shaozu's list and looked at it for a long time, and said: "There is not a single family with real power here."

Jia Cong stretched out his head and scanned the beginning again: "It's really useless. Oh, the word Rongguofu looks so abrupt--I understand!" He glanced at the list again, and called Feng Ziying's two men. A young man, "Go in and ask Sun Shaozu, when did he hear the law and revealed that he wanted to hook up with Grandma Zhu of the Rongguo Mansion, and the specific date."

The two went in and asked, and Sun Shaozu said, "Three years ago."

"What day?"

"I really don't remember this." Sun Shaozu said, "It was probably around March or April."

Jia Cong asked Feng Ziying next door: "When did he become the commander of the Beijing camp?"

"August three years ago." Feng Ziying glanced at him, "Do you think this has something to do with his promotion?"

Jia Cong snorted and said, "I always said that I was afraid that I would overwhelm the lord, but before I knew it, I was already overwhelmed by the lord. King Yan still guarded me silently behind his back. Think about it, if Sun Shaozu has even the slightest friendship with me, Can it be ignored? This matter is a test for Sun Shaozu. From this point of view, the sister-in-law must have their informants, or they have a way to know the daily life of the sister-in-law. For example, has anyone discouraged her from going to the temple, Don't meet a monk named Wenfa or something like that."

Liu Xiaoqi didn't speak until now, and suddenly asked: "Aunt Luo, have you been living in Wanshou Temple recently after hearing the Dharma?"

Luo Tainiang said: "I never heard that he went elsewhere."

Liu Xiaoqi cupped her fists and said, "Thank you, I'll look for it right away." Nai jumped out of the window and left.

Seeing that one day passed, King Yan's strategy was not guessed at all, so Feng Ziying and Luo Tainiang went to Lin's mansion to find Lin Daiyu to discuss.

Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion from the gate of Lixiangyuan. Without alarming Jia Amnesty, he changed his clothes and went out again.Jia Lan's house was a little far away, Jia Cong was still in the shop when he arrived, and snowflakes were falling from the sky again.

Li Wan was looking at the account books under the lamp, when he heard that he was coming, he hurriedly called the servant girl to pour tea.Jia Cong laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy. My younger brother has something to inquire with sister-in-law, and I have to leave later." Li Wan then asked what was the matter.Jia Cong asked everyone in the house to go out, and ordered the guards to stand guard at the front and back.

Li Wan was a little surprised: "Could it be that something happened to Lan'er?"

"No." Jia Cong said, "There is something that happened three years ago, I beg my sister-in-law to think about it carefully."

"three years ago?"

"Three years ago, between March, April and August, did my sister-in-law ever hear or meet a monk named Wenfa?"

Li Wan said: "Is it the Master Wenfa of Wanshou Temple?"

Jia Cong was surprised: "Sister-in-law recognizes him?"

Li Wan said: "I've seen it a few times. This master's profound practice, I admire it very much." Jia Cong took a breath of cold air and let it out slowly.Seeing his ugly face, Li Wan asked in surprise, "Is there something wrong with Master Wenfa?"

Jia Cong closed his eyes: "Helping women who fell out of favor in many families find monks and Taoists lovers."

Li Wan was shocked: "What?!"

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know exactly who you are." Jia Cong said hastily, "It's just that we need to investigate this person now, which is very difficult and poses a great threat to our Jia family. Please remember my sister-in-law well."

Li Wan trembled slightly, thought for a long time, and said: "I really knew him in April three years ago."

Jia Cong couldn't bear it.Gritting his teeth, he asked bravely, "Did he try to hook you up, or sent a handsome young monk to walk around in front of you?"

After a while, Li Wan shook his head and said softly: "The monk seemed to want to talk to me alone, but he had no other intentions, and he was serious about talking."

Jia Cong thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed. You feel that Wenfa intends to talk to you alone, but he didn't take the opportunity to seduce you or send a young monk to seduce you, but he just put on a pose that is easy to think. Crooked posture, right?"

Li Wan nodded: "He has a great reputation, I thought I was overthinking it."

"Who did you bring with you? Do you remember? Why did you go to see him? Who recommended you to Wanshou Temple? And who recommended you to listen to the Dharma?"

Hearing his question, Li Wan was a little weird, but still thought hard for a long time: "But they brought Qingping and Xuexiao with them. There was a wedding event in Wanshou Temple that day, and a group of eminent monks in Beijing were invited. Suyun's The man heard about it and wanted to pray for his dead parents, so Suyun came to ask me for leave. Qingping urged me to join in the fun."

Jia Cong nodded: "Did Suyun accompany my sister-in-law there?"

"No. Since she asked for leave, she naturally accompanied her man to pray for her in-laws."

"It's not a temporary decision for my sister-in-law to go out."

Li Wan thought about it for a long time: "No, it was decided more than ten days earlier. Your nephew wanted to leave his official duties to accompany me at first, but I said, it's important to be serious, so I'll go by myself."

"That's why Lan'er didn't accompany sister-in-law, sister-in-law went by herself." Jia Cong nodded, "Understood. Suyun's man made a move, but Qingping urged him to do so. Suyun's man is less suspicious."

Li Wan hurriedly said: "I watched this kid Qingping grow up, so he won't have bad intentions. It's just that he has a more lively temper."

Jia Cong smiled wryly and said, "I didn't say that she must have bad intentions. If she doesn't keep it all right, people will take advantage of her."

Li Wan thought for a while: "She often goes to Wanshou Temple to offer incense. She makes a wish and fulfills it at the same time." Then she called Qingping to come in.

Qingping bowed her head and knelt in front of the two of them.Jia Cong stared at her for half a day with a half-smile, which made Qingping feel cold all over.Jia Cong said slowly, "Do you like monks or Taoists?"

Qingping suddenly trembled: "Slaves...slaves don't even like it."

"Do you have to choose one? Monk or Taoist, which one do you prefer?"

Qingping trembled for another half day: "The regent is the great god Linfan of the Santan Haihui. Since the master belongs to the Taoist school, the slave naturally likes the Taoist school."

"Oh." Jia Cong said, "That's because I like monks. You have a good friend in Wanshou Temple, right?"

Qingping shouted: "No!"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "If there is no good monk there, and it is not close to our residence, why do you always go there? Isn't there a temple elsewhere?"

"Your servant is just going to offer incense." Qingping cried, "I am only going there to make a wish come true."

Jia Cong pouted: "Forget it, I'm not good at interrogation." Then he said to Li Wan, "This matter is important, I will take her to an interrogator who can inquire."

Qingping cried and climbed up to hug Li Wan's leg: "Grandma...I don't have any friends...Grandma save me..."

How dare Li Wan save her?Nai sighed, "If you are innocent, the Regent will not embarrass you."

"Yeah." Jia Cong said leisurely, "I'm sure I didn't wrong you. But if you scrambled around and helped to learn the Dharma, that bald donkey set our Jia family a trap, and I wouldn't let you go."

Qingping cried: "I really have nothing to do with Master Wenfa! Master Wenfa is a broken sleeve, I am a daughter, what can I do with him..."

Jia Cong was startled: "Huh? He's a broken sleeve when he heard the Dharma? Isn't he surrounded by countless noble ladies from the capital?"

Qingping shouted: "He is Duanxiu, Yuan Yaofen is his good friend!"

Jia Cong only felt a headache: "Who is Yuan Yaofen, a man?"

Li Wan hurriedly said: "You don't know? Liu Aiyun is the next opera troupe in Beijing. Liu Aiyun seldom sings opera now, but Yuan Yaofen is the most popular one, singing Daomadan."

"I'm going! Why did you mess with an actor again!" Jia Cong frowned, "Can this person compare to Liu Aiyun?"

Li Wan said: "In terms of reputation, of course it can't compare to Liu Aiyun. Back then, Liu Aiyun saved the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the empress and prince. It's just that among the common people, there are a lot of people who like him."

Jia Cong couldn't help muttering: "Wenfa himself is a romantic monk, and he found a good friend as an actor. These two professions are very delicate and marginal professions. Wenfa himself is the illegitimate son of a court official."

Qingping was startled, and lost his voice: "Is he the illegitimate son of a court official?"

Jia Cong glanced at her: "You seem to care about him?"

Qingping shook his head vigorously: "He is really a broken sleeve, not a slave lover."

Jia Cong snorted and said: "This monk is really open-minded. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, there are ways for you to say it." He touched his chin, "Monk... an actor. A monk hooks up with a lady, and an actor recruits people I like it. Are they going to take the route of spreading rumors by public opinion?"
