The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Jia Cong and Jia's Ma Xing encounter a night walker who is about to assassinate him, Liu Xiaoqi kills the assassin first.Jia Cong asked: "Do you know who he is? He killed him so simply."

"I don't know." Liu Xiaoqi said, "His kung fu is not inferior to mine. If it wasn't for him knowing the secret, and his energy is on you just now, I may not be the opponent." Pointing to the assassin's chest, he said, "in case In case, I used a poisonous arrow, the kind that sees blood seal the throat."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes at him: "Then you were so arrogant just now, I thought you could hit him three times! It turned out that you won by attacking him by surprise, and you had to kill him with one move."

Liu Xiaoqi also turned a blind eye: "You can do it! You can't rely on Master Qi to save you."

During the conversation, the aunt shouted from the kitchen: "Mr. Jia, what happened outside?"

Jia Cong shouted: "It's okay, a colleague is here."

The aunt shouted: "The face is ready--"

Jia Cong left Liu Xiaoqi behind and ran in.Liu Xiaoqi followed suit: "I'm hungry too."

The aunt looked at the two of them: "I said earlier that there are two people, I will cook more! You can share the food, and I will cook more."

"Thank you, auntie!"

The two then shared a large bowl of noodles face to face, and Jia Cong asked while eating, "Why did Wu Tianzuo have a sudden stroke?"

"I did it." Liu Xiaoqi said, "I'll tell you after eating."

"Then just wait until you're full."

Seeing how hungry they were, the aunt cooked two more bowls of noodles for them, watching them belching happily.The two thanked the aunt again, and went out of the kitchen. Liu Xiaoqi picked up the corpse on the ground and went to Jia Cong's residence to talk.

It turned out that the old man Wu Tianzuo sent his son away and ordered the servants to go out and sit and think about things by himself.Liu Xiaoqi was sitting on the beam.He took out a small piece of ambergris from his pocket and lit it, then put it on the beam.The fragrance gradually dissipated, and Wu Tianzuo smelled it, looked around and said strangely: "I haven't lit incense in this house." No such fragrance.

Just about to call for someone, Liu Xiaoqi squeezed her throat and shouted like a woman: "I am wronged... I am wronged..."

Wu Tianzuo was so frightened: "Who?!"

"Wrong...wrong..."

Wu Tianzuo stood up and looked around: "Who is it!"

"Uncle... niece wronged..."

Wu Tianzuo suddenly felt that the clothes behind him had been pulled, and when he looked back, there was no sign of him, but at this moment his pants were pulled again.The old man was frightened and ran out of the house in a few steps.He was trying to save face, although his soul was almost frightened away, so he didn't shout out loudly.When I got to the courtyard and looked around, the sun was shining on the ground, and the old servant and the boy were talking in the corridor, so I felt at ease.But thinking: ghosts cannot see the sun.Then he took two deep breaths and stood with his hands behind his back for a moment.Just as he was about to call someone to check the ambergris fragrance in the house, he suddenly felt a sudden pain in his knees and fell down on the steps.The old servant and the boy rushed forward, but no one noticed that there were two locust rocks rolling on the ground.

Jia Cong nodded after hearing this: "It turns out that he was frightened by the wronged soul and suffered a stroke."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "At first I thought it would be effective if we played for a few more days, but who knew he would be so careless. After all, he is not guilty."

Jia Cong sighed, "Who is the assassin?"

"do not know."

"what?"

"It came out of nowhere." Liu Xiaoqi pointed, "I stepped on the roof from the front yard and went straight to the kitchen, probably because I heard someone mention you."

Then he checked the assassin's body.Jia Cong was lazy, he wouldn't do it when someone else was working, and watched with white brows and red eyes biting dry dates.Liu Xiaoqi put on the gloves, quickly peeled off the night clothes, revealing the gray cloth clothes inside, which looked like the servants of a rich family wore them.He took out something from the assassin's arms and put it on the table, complaining in his mouth: "I just ate two bowls of noodles, and there is still a dead person in front of me. You can eat it! Give me one." Jia Cong smiled and grabbed it. Three dried dates blocked his mouth.Not afraid of choking, Liu Xiaoqi chewed heavily, turned her head and spat out three date stones into the trash basket, bent down to pick up the teacup on the table, raised her neck, took two mouthfuls of tea and put it back.Nai said: "This brother is not prepared to fight you head-on. He didn't even bring a sword. The sleeve arrows, darts, and plum blossom needles have all been poisoned. There is also a poem...to escape the cold and find dreams and go to Jialan. It's absurd to have a good night's sleep. "

Jia Cong said from the side: "Send me the wintersweet flowers, the half court is snowy and the moon is cold."

"how do you know?"

"I wrote it." Jia Cong said, "I wrote a meeting ceremony for Monk Wenkong on the Shangyuan Festival." Nai poked his head to look at him, "The characters in Guange style have a deep foundation. Why did you write it so small? ? Is it for cheating?"

Liu Xiaoqi said contemptuously: "Have you lost your mind? It's obviously ready to be put into the letter box. Brother Assassin has raised pigeons."

Jia Cong rubbed the back of his head: "I'm used to telegrams, and I forgot about the pigeons. From this point of view, it should not be from the Wu family. No matter how talented the Wu family is, it's not enough for the assassin to raise pigeons part-time."

"It's hard to say, smart people know everything. They are quite rich." Liu Xiaoqi found a roll of banknotes and nodded, "They are all in large denominations, so the idea is 6000 taels." She put the banknotes in her pocket In the middle, he turned over the collar of the assassin, "The obscene clothes inside are made of rough cloth, so old that they have been patched."

Jia Cong grinned and said, "If you pretend to be poor, you have to pretend to be serious."

Liu Xiaoqi looked at this person's hands: "Left-handed. But the sleeve arrow is hidden on the right arm, it seems that both hands are aura."

I checked it again from the beginning, and there was no more clues.The two tidied up for a while, washed and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Ma Xing's door came in and said, "There is a Mr. Qiu outside asking to see Mr. Jia."

Jia Cong held the porridge bowl in his hand and said, "Tell him, I haven't had breakfast yet. If he doesn't mind, he can come in and wait, if he minds, he can wait outside."

Not long after, Qiu Sheng followed the door and walked in.Jia Cong said embarrassedly: "It's cold, I got up late, I'm sorry."

Qiu Sheng said: "The prince is a man of temperament." Nai sighed softly, "Old Mr. Wu is still awake. The doctor said, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Wansheng will come to Beijing to invite my uncle to come, and I am here to say goodbye."

Jia Cong said: "The old man has this kind of disease, even the imperial doctor may not be able to help. Just try your best." Qiu Sheng nodded and said goodbye.Jia Cong continued to eat breakfast.

After about an hour, Menzi came again and sent a post.Jia Cong took it over and took a look. There were only two words on it: Wu Rui.Nai frowned slightly, turned to Liu Xiaoqi and asked, "What is he doing here?"

Liu Xiaoqi stretched out his head to take a look and said, "What the hell is he doing?" Turning around and leaving the room.

After a while, Wu Rui came.The man bowed his hands to Jia Cong: "My lord looks very good today."

Jia Cong suddenly felt that this was not quite right: "I said, Mr. Wu, did you come here to see if I am alive?"

"That's right." Wu Rui said, "I'll ask Mr. Qiu to find out the way first. If the prince is still alive, come and meet him."

"So you know the assassin?"

Wu Rui asked: "The assassin must be dead?"

"of course."

Wu Rui smiled and saluted deeply: "Thank you, my lord." Jia Cong raised his eyebrows.Wu Rui said, "This man is my family's gardener. Since his grandfather, his family has been a gardener in my family for three generations."

"Is it your family's servant?"

"No. They were invited from outside. They usually live in our house, and no one cares about the cheapness of going out."

"Oh." Jia Cong glanced at him, "You deliberately revealed my identity and whereabouts to him."

Wu Rui said: "Didn't the lord say that? When an assassin meets you, the assassin must die."

"You're really welcome." Jia Cong breathed out, "What's his background?"

Wu Rui shook his head: "I don't know. My father didn't say anything. When I was young, I saw his father flying over the wall by chance."

"Then do you know that he has another residence? How many people are there?"

"I know, there is a small courtyard just two streets away from our house, but he doesn't live there." Wu Rui said, "There is no one else in his house, he is alone."

"Without a home, how can he be replaced when he gets old?" Jia Cong thought for a while, "Does he look like his father?"

"Not at all."

Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Is it my own father? You can tell me his address. I will send someone to check." Wu Rui smiled slightly, and took a pen to leave the gardener's address.

Jia Cong asked someone to take him to the next door to see the corpse.Not long after, Wu Rui came back and said that it was the gardener.

Liu Xiaoqi had to take a hard trip, and went to the gardener's residence to check.When I came back, I took a pigeon cage with two strong pigeons inside, which looked like carrier pigeons.He smiled and said, "I came home with a full load." Then he took out a small bundle from his pocket, which was full of small creased pieces of paper, "He didn't destroy it! It's not a qualified detail at all."

Jia Cong said: "I'm not careful. It's obvious that I'm with that old man Wu Tianzuo, so you don't have to be wary of anyone." But looking through the pieces of paper, there were only two words on them: I know. "What kind of reward is this!"

Liu Xiaoqi glanced at him: "It means that his boss usually doesn't give him other errands."

Jia Cong nodded: "So he is a full-time reporter."

Liu Xiaoqi pointed to the piece of paper and said: "Xue Taojian, the words look like a woman's handwriting." After smelling it again, "It smells like powder."

Jia Cong snapped his fingers, "Woman."

Liu Xiaoqi shook her head: "You are worse than Master Qi. This kind of thick fragrance powder is not used by serious girls. It's not a fan, it's a prostitute."

Jia Cong couldn't help whistling: "Qiye 666!"

Liu Xiaoqi poured a cup of tea and squeezed it in his hands, proudly said: "Look again, what else can you see?"

"I'm too lazy to look at it." Jia Cong said, "You've already seen it, why should I repeat the work." Liu Xiaoqi picked out a piece of paper and threw it to him with a smile.Jia Cong saw that there was a light pink circle on the top, and in the center was the word "Zhonghua" in seal script, so he laughed, "No way! Our Zhonghua Book Company produced it."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "There are seven or eight kinds of Xue Tao paper from Zhonghua Book Company, this is the most expensive kind, and it is only sold in the Zhuque Street specialty store."

Jia Cong tutted his tongue and said, "Grandpa's subordinates are really rich."

Liu Xiaoqi twisted out four more pieces: "But these few pieces are not very expensive, and the handwriting is new." Jia Cong blinked.Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "What did you do in the old year?"

"what?"

"Liberated all the prostitutes in Yan Kingdom out of thin air." Liu Xiaoqi said, "Poor group of brothel old bustards, who changed from bosses to middle-class people in the blink of an eye. Originally, the fans belonged to them, and the money they got from doing business was also all of them. Theirs; now they can only live by the tap."

Jia Cong gave a thumbs up: "Master Qi has good eyesight and good reasoning! Keep going."

"It's gone." Liu Xiaoqi took a sip of tea, "The rest have to be sent back to Beijing to be checked by Luo Tainiang."

"……All right."

Without hesitation, Liu Xiaoqi took a few pieces of Xue Tao's notes and left.How can Jia Cong go out without bringing his own soldiers?It's just pretending to be a merchant and hiding in an inn.The inn is on the same street as Ma Xing.Not long after, a young man left Cangzhou on a fast horse and headed for the capital.

Jia Cong remembered that none of the 19 major benefactors of Wanshou Temple were from the capital, so he speculated that the fans or old bustards in this capital should be the No. [-] families besides these [-] families.He doesn't send money to Wanshou Temple, but he has a group of masters in his hand to monitor these people for infidelity.Nai sighed, "An emperor is suspicious no matter what."

Liu Xiaoqi suddenly remembered something: "That Han imperial physician, I heard that his medical skills are good. Do you want to..."

"Nonsense, of course." Jia Cong said, resting his cheeks, "Since you have Wu Rui, what else do you need Wu Tianzuo?" Liu Xiaoqi smiled and walked away.

Jia Cong was hanging around in Cangzhou, wandering the streets and eating snacks when he had nothing to do.Eight days later, Qiu Sheng rushed back with Imperial Physician Han.Doctor Han looked at it for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "It's too late. It's only in these three or five days, let's prepare for the funeral." Wu Rui burst into tears.

The next day, the soldier who went to the capital came back.After smelling the scent on Xue Tao's note, Luo Tainiang knew which shop she bought it from, and ordered someone to check the account of the shop in the name of the government, and found six old bustards inside.Check the handwriting again - Yan Guo brothels were re-registered with the government in the past, with the signature and fingerprints of the old bustard.Then on the same day, he found out that the word was written by Wang Haitang, the old bustard of Jinxiangyuan, and did not alarm her at all.Wucheng Bingmasi sent two yamen servants to arbitrarily arbitrarily commit an unreasonable crime and take this girl away from Jinxiangyuan, and locked her in a small cell under their yamen, and then ignored her.That night, some night walkers went to visit her, but they didn't rescue her from prison.Luo Tainiang asked the soldier to report back to Cangzhou first.

After hearing this, Jia Cong said with emotion: "It's really convenient to be in power. If we had come to investigate this matter earlier, it might not be too much trouble. If you don't pay attention, you will have to scare the snake."

Three days later, Wu Tianzuo, the dean of Donghai Academy, passed away, and all the scholars in Cangzhou burst into tears.

The next night after the old man left, Jia Cong received a call from the capital: two men in black went to the prison at night to snatch a female prisoner, and they fought against the guards.Although the female prisoner was not taken away, one escaped, and the other was shot and killed by the guards.

At five o'clock, the capital called again: Jarvis, the governor of the Beijing camp, personally led the soldiers and horses, and released the dogs to chase the fleeing man in black. He chased him to a small house and has now surrounded it.

Half an hour later, the capital called three times: the house was breached, sixteen men in black were killed, and one was captured alive.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was about to rise, and the capital called again: wash up and sleep, I have to tidy up for a few days.

Jia Cong yawned and said to Liu Xiaoqi, "Go to sleep. It's upside down again."

"Sleep well." Liu Xiaoqi said, "You promised Wu Rui to go to mourn this morning."

Jia Cong scratched his head: "I'll go tomorrow. Send someone to tell him that I'm busy, and when I'm done, he'll be free—we've taken over the gardener's lair who monitored their house." Liu Xiaoqi still waited. Persuading him, Jia Cong went to the kang, closed his eyes and said, "I must sleep. This heart has finally settled down, and I will play with Duke Zhou."
