The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that Yang An knocked out eunuch Guo, and all the little bosses gathered around to ask him what to do next.Now the sage has gone with the Yan army, and the soldiers have turned their faces against the monk.Yang An thought for a moment and said, "Brothers, there are several ways right now. One is to go to Beijing and join the saint. The saint obviously has no intention of raising soldiers, so we can only serve him as his buddies."

Hou Ming rubbed the back of his head: "How many guys can the cosmetics shop use?"

"The powder shop is just the last step." Yang An said, "Someone has to grow and pick flowers, someone grinds the petals in a stone bowl with a pestle, and many other processes. If the powder shop is turned into a powder factory, it will take 2000 people It’s not a big deal. Shengren’s makeup formula is excellent, and the price is also expensive, and there is never a shortage of buyers.”

A little leader asked: "General, what did the monk do? Chasing a saint?"

"Yes." Yang An smiled, "But he couldn't catch the saint. There are many masters in the Yan army who came back. Otherwise, how could the saint go with them?"

Hou Ming asked: "What about other roads?"

"The Empress Dowager gave so much money, they must have exchanged it for silver bills. I just don't know who put it on." Yang An searched the eunuch Guo, only found less than five thousand silver bills. "Go back to the residence and look for it. If there is no one, it is probably at the monk's place. If there is—" He glanced at everyone, and everyone held their breath. "If there is, leave half for the sage, and share the rest equally with each other and go home."

"Boom—" Everyone suddenly regained their spirits. "The general is serious?"

Yang An said: "Of course it is true. We were all recruited by that monk and eunuch, not the meaning of saints. The money belongs to the Empress Dowager. Since the grandson of the Empress Dowager is unwilling to raise soldiers, we can't be taken away from home for nothing. Why don't you come out? Don't you want to give some severance pay? Does everyone make sense?"

Everyone smiled and praised repeatedly: "It makes sense! The general is the most reasonable."

Yang An went on to say: "The other thing is to vote for the Yan army. Their salaries are high, and after three to five years everyone will be able to marry a wife. At worst, you can go back to Nanyang with me. The social status of Nanyang soldiers is high. A little lower price is also lower! And we have women from all over the world." He winked, and the little bosses laughed.

Someone excitedly said: "I'll talk about this later, go back and find the banknotes first!"

Yang An laughed and said, "It's about finding banknotes." He then ordered people to carry eunuch Guo on their backs and return to the village.

Eunuch Guo, Jianru, Shengren, and Yang An lived in the same household, and the head of the household came up to ask about it, but something happened.Yang An said: "Our Mr. Guo fainted for some reason. I have medicine with me, so I beg uncle to help us get some warm water." The head of the household had a tea bucket, so he hurriedly took out the teapot and poured a bowl.Yang An took out a packet of medicine powder from his pocket, put it in a bowl and melted it, and poured it down for Eunuch Guo.After waiting for half a day, eunuch Guo showed no signs of waking up.Yang An waved to the little bosses, "Come on, try to undress Eunuch Guo."

So he stripped Eunuch Guo clean by himself.Everyone had never seen that kind of eunuch, and they looked around curiously, and there were some who made a fuss about it.Yang An was not interested in the eunuch, so he counted the objects found on him.There are no other silver tickets for the waist cards of Wu Wangfu, Lu Yinzi with various names, etc.I searched the house again, and went to the next door to check Jianru's house, and finally even the little saint's house was searched, but no bank notes were found.There were a lot of worthless letters, a few fake mustaches, and a small jar of paste.Everyone was very depressed.

Yang An sighed softly: "Don't frown, there is no unparalleled road. Now there are nearly 5000 taels of silver bills. Yan's prices are cheap, enough to spend for a while. Come, discuss and discuss, whether to go to the saints or take refuge in Yan country, or break up the partnership, or go to Nanyang with me."

Hou Mingdao: "The general must go back to Nanyang? If you stay in China, we will follow you wherever you go."

"Not bad!" Everyone said one after another, "We are willing to follow General Yang."

Yang An said: "I'm also reluctant to leave my brothers. But I'm originally from Nanyang, and I still have a lot of work to do there. Earlier, these two people hooked me up mysteriously, and I don't know what they were doing. I came here out of curiosity. Since it wasn't what the sage meant at all, I naturally have to go back to Nanyang. Anyway, I will arrange you well before I leave."

Seeing that he was determined to leave, everyone was silent.After a while, Hou Ming said, "Actually... I don't really like being a soldier."

Yang Andao: "I know, most of you are here because your family is poor, and you want to get some soldiers' pay. Now that the country of Yan is rich and full of job opportunities, it's easy not to want to be a soldier to work. Ladies and gentlemen, the experience of being a soldier is beneficial to men. It's good, you will understand in the future. Regardless of the ends of the world, and no matter what we do in the future, I hope brothers will remember each other."

Everyone's eyes turned red: "General!" "We will never forget the general!"

"Okay." Yang An raised the banknote in Yang's hand, "I have an idea, please listen to it." Everyone fell silent immediately.Yang Andao, "Eunuch Guo still has the badge of Prince Wu's residence on him, and the letters he has communicated with several princes' residences. These...let's go to Beijing and sell them to special envoys from various countries. A lot of money."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "The general is so smart!"

"Among the brothers, there must be quite a few who want to go home." Yang An said, "Right now we can only afford two liang of severance pay for each person. Get some more money, so we can make up five liang per person. Otherwise, wouldn't it be Have you worked so hard these days for nothing?"

The next one called Liu Grasshopper shouted: "The general treats us well, he is capable and smart. Anyway, my old bachelor Liu is homeless and jobless, and I will follow you for the rest of my life! You go back to Nanyang and I will go with you!"

Yang An said happily: "Okay! Brother Grasshopper, don't worry, those who follow my surname Yang will have a future."

Another shouted: "My family has only one old lady, at worst, I will take her to Nanyang. I will follow General Yang!"

Yang Andao: "The weather in Nanyang is warm and cheap for retirement."

Another one said: "I still have two girls to raise, can I go to Nanyang?"

Yang An laughed and said, "Why not? The Nanyang military membership has many advantages. Your sister can get tuition fee reduction with a military membership certificate."

"Then I'll go with the general too!" This man patted his chest, "These two hundred catties will be sold to the general!" In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people said they were willing to go with Yang An, and they also expressed that they would bring their brothers from home. of.

After lunch, everyone packed their luggage.Yang An was alone in his residence, so he opened the window and whistled.Liu Xiaoqi entered through the window.Yang An took out something from his pocket and handed it to him.Liu Xiaoqi saw that it was the passbook of the HSBC bank, and laughed twice.Co-author Yang An came across the passbook when he was searching for Eunuch Guo outside the village.Back at the residence, in front of all the little bosses, he stripped off the things that guy shook out of him.Because other people didn't recognize this thing, the guy who was also watching the eunuch went away, so Yang An quietly put it away in his sleeve.He took the letters and other things, wrapped a bag and threw it to Liu Xiaoqi, and said, "Remember to get me some envelopes to recharge." Liu Xiaoqi agreed, threw the bag in the air and picked it up a few times.

For a while, Yang An went to bid farewell to the head of the household and gave him back a tael of silver.The head of the household sent him out with a smile all over his face.The brothers lined up and set off for the capital.

After walking for half a day, Hou Ming suddenly remembered something, ran forward and asked Yang An, "Where is the surname Guo?"

"Isn't he awake?" Yang An innocently said, "He's still lying on the kang. I left him his fake beard, paste and a lot of guides."

Hou Ming said angrily, "I should have hit him a few more times."

Eunuch Guo is naturally not at the farmer's house, he has already woken up.Opening his eyes, he saw that he was lying on the kang, and it was obvious that he was not the farmer who stayed overnight.A young man was dozing off by the window, and when he heard the noise, he turned his head and looked over: "Grandpa Guo is awake?" His face was kind.

Eunuch Guo was still a little dizzy, and sat up while supporting the Kang: "Where is this? Who is your lord? Why are the miscellaneous family here?"

The young man was Liu Xiaoqi, and he said leisurely: "This is an inn. I am the subordinate of the traitor Jia Cong. I stole you from the kang of the family you lived in yesterday. Do you have any questions?" Eunuch Guo "plopped" back onto the kang.Liu Xiaoqi said again, "By the way, just now my accomplice took your fingerprints for you and went to Beijing with your passbook and your account opening form."

Eunuch Guo's eyes were dark again for a while, before he said: "He can't get the money."

"I can get it." Liu Xiaoqi said, "Isn't your introduction saying Li Liulang, a native of Jin? The special envoy of the King of Jin in Beijing is also a part-time salesman. You just need to do Zhang Jin's introduction and pretend to be your son in filial piety." .You die, your son inherits your money, it is only right and proper."

Eunuch Guo was so hung up that he didn't come up.Liu Xiaoqi didn't tease him, and casually unpacked the package and took out the letter to check.Eunuch Guo immediately realized that the bundle was his own, so he didn't need to ask what letter he was reading, and he almost fainted from anger.After a long time, he struggled and shouted: "Don't worry, someone will come to rescue the miscellaneous family."

Only then did Liu Xiaoqi turn his head away: "Are you talking about Monk Jianru? Are you wondering how I found you? You are lying on the kang comfortably, and I am not Zhuge Liang who can pinch and count." Eunuch Guo turned around. Shaking, no words.Liu Xiaoqi looked at him for a long time, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "My partner and I just came back from doing business in Chen Country, and happened to meet officers and soldiers from the Fifth Army Battalion training here. My nephew was in their camp, so I went over to have a look. Wait. I haven’t seen my nephew come out for half a day. The soldier who reported the letter came and told me: a bandit has entered the camp, and my nephew is fighting with the bandit. It’s a tie right now, and I don’t know how long the fight will take. I know my nephew. He is very skilled in martial arts. There are not many people who have made a move before him. So I showed my identity and went in. Master Jianru is really good. If we keep fighting, my nephew may not be able to beat him."

Eunuch Guo looked at Liu Xiaoqi's age, obviously less than thirty.How old is his nephew?So I thought it was a child.A child can draw with Jianru... His body trembled again.

"That monk is a man, and the gourd with his mouth sawn is refusing to say anything." Liu Xiaoqi shook his chin, "He didn't say anything, but someone did. Wang Wufu, a young scholar, said everything." Eunuch Guo He closed his eyes abruptly.Liu Xiaoqi is not finished yet. "Jianru, he is more than loyal, but not smart enough. He is not good at extorting a confession, but he is the easiest to deceive. If you try to seduce him with any words, when he is in a hurry, hey, Huang He will mention it, tsk tsk!"

Eunuch Guo sat up and scolded sharply: "You cunning people! You only deceive good people..."

"Goodness?" Liu Xiaoqi tugged at his ears, "Say it again, father-in-law? Who is kind? Learn from monks who are kind? Asking soldiers to massacre ordinary people with guns and guns is called kindness? What did the Buddha teach him or did the Bodhisattva teach him?" ?" Eunuch Guo choked, unable to speak for a long time.Liu Xiaoqi snorted, "Slaughtering the common people is for inhumanity. Kidnapping the emperor is for disloyalty..."

Eunuch Guo patted Kang and shouted: "After all, that thief Jia Cong has evil intentions and is trying to take my kingdom!"

Liu Xiaoqi sneered: "The world belongs to your King Wu?"

Eunuch Guo raised his head and said, "The world belongs to the Situ family!"

Liu Xiaoqi turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Do you know why the princes don't believe in the blood book written by the former King of Wu?"

Eunuch Guo's eyes moved: "Why?"

"Because Jia Cong's daughter-in-law was originally a female guard in the palace, she couldn't have a boy." Liu Xiaoqi said, "Many princes know it, but you, King Wu, don't."

Eunuch Guo was surprised: "Isn't she Chen Ruiwen's sister?"

"That's right! Chen Ruiwen's sister can't be a female guard? If you don't believe me, I'll arrange for you to see King Yan in the future." Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Otherwise, why do you think King Yan is recuperating so peacefully?" Nai sighed , "There's nothing he can do about his body. He poisoned his own son."

Several thoughts flashed through Eunuch Guo's mind. "It's a matter of time to give birth to a boy or a girl, so why can't female guards give birth to a boy?"

Liu Xiaoqi twisted her neck: "The palace has adjusted the body of the female guards since childhood. When you arrive in the capital, you can ask the Empress Dowager, she knows. By the way, you have been to the capital half a year ago, but the old lady didn't tell you. You? Or send you to see the King of Shu in a few days? This one also knows. There is also the Queen Mother of Lu State. The Queen Mother, the mother of Xiao Wang Xiucai, doesn’t know, she was just a concubine at first.”

Although Eunuch Guo was ordered to send blood books everywhere, he didn't dare to read what King Wu wrote. He only knew that Jia Cong wanted to rebel against Situ's family.From what this person said, Jia Cong didn't seem to rebel?If he wanted to rebel, he could accept several concubines to have children.If he likes his daughter-in-law, it's good to leave the mother and keep the son, and what kind of daughter-in-law is there.Even if his daughter became the female regent, wouldn't she be married in the future?Isn't the child born with her husband's surname?His complexion changed.

Liu Xiaoqi said again: "Princess Regent will give birth to her second child in a few months. All the preparations are for their daughters. Some of them started preparing after they found out that she was pregnant." He thought After thinking about it, "The third son of the Shu royal family is in the capital right now. So are their three concubines. As soon as they heard that the regent princess of Yan was pregnant, they prepared a gift, and they prepared a gift for their daughter. Everyone with the surname Situ in the world knows Jia Cong. Your daughter-in-law can only bear daughters, but you, the King of Wu, don't know."

Eunuch Guo murmured: "So, our prince misunderstood?"

Liu Xiaoqi shrugged: "Although you are foolish, you are doing things for the master after all, so I think nothing will happen to you. Monk Jianru must die. It is unreasonable for soldiers to kill civilians."

Eunuch Guo immediately said: "He was pushed by others!"

"He said it was his idea."

Eunuch Guo patted Kang Yan: "Although it was his idea, he only thought about it when someone pushed him! The miscellaneous family knows! How many years has the miscellaneous family been in Wu Wangfu, such things have been seen a lot!"
