The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Years ago when Jia Cong was still a child, he suggested to Jiang Yuhan and third sister You to buy a fake guide and elope.It's been too long, Jia Cong has long forgotten about these two people.Since he couldn't remember what Third Sister You looked like, Jia Cong tentatively asked, "Are you the little aunt of Sister-in-law Zhen's natal family?"

The daughter-in-law cried and nodded: "Exactly."

"Oh." Since the wife of Team Leader Hechun is Third Sister You, no need to ask, Jiang Baiqu is Jiang Yuhan. "How do you know me? I remember we only met once, when I was little."

Third Sister You said: "Master Cong's appearance has not changed, it is still the same as before."

... have a good memory.Jia Cong said with emotion.Among the supporting roles in the original book, Mr. Cao has a lot of ink on this one.The bastard who was fierce and unafraid of Jia Zhen, was now worn down by life to the point of crying. "Sit down first. If you have anything to say, speak slowly." Tomorrow and the spring troupe will not be able to listen to the play. It's a grand banquet. Today, the wife of the troupe leader came to the door. It's really lucky. "Bing Dang pour her a cup of tea."

Shen Zhimo hurriedly helped Third Sister You up and sat down, and poured tea: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, speak slowly."

Third Sister You took two sips of tea, but she cried even more until she shook the mountain and shook the mountain to death.Shen Zhimo was about to persuade him, but Jia Cong waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, let her shed two jars of tears hard, and we'll cry when she's happy." Shen Zhimo fell silent.

After crying for half an hour, Third Sister You gradually shed tears, and Shen Zhimo refilled her tea.After eating Huizi tea again, Third Sister You was in a calmer mood before talking about the past years.

When she and Jiang Yuhan escaped from the capital, they went smoothly.I wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River, but I lost my money and money on the way.In desperation, Jiang Yuhan had no choice but to join an opera troupe to sing along.He really sang well, and he became a horn in a short time.Once the reputation is established, the money is much easier.It's just that noble people must be involved, no matter how difficult it is to get out.

Third Sister You has a strong temper.I don't know how many times I can't bear to think about dying, but I have already given birth to a son.Jiang Yuhan named the child Brother Jing, hoping that he would be a clean and ordinary citizen.After all, things backfired.The couple kept delaying the day when their son would appear on the stage, but they couldn't delay it any longer.The kid is 14 years old and will be on stage tomorrow.When an actor comes on stage, he is similar to a fan.Last night, Third Sister You quietly held a knife in her hand, intending to kill Brother Jing before committing suicide.Kneeling on the kang to see his son's sleeping face for half an hour, he was not willing to do anything.

It had been almost four o'clock since she came out of her son's room, Third Sister You was walking around like a lost soul, she inadvertently heard someone talking, one of them was her husband Jiang Yuhan, she hurriedly stopped and eavesdropped.After hearing this, I was angry and sad.

It was the noble heart who spoke.Brother Jiang Jing will be on stage tomorrow, and Uncle Cui will invite a Zhou Xianggong to join him.This week Uncle Zhou is an important minister of Yan State, and he came to Qi State to make an unannounced visit to an important case, and he brought a maid and a handsome servant with him.He didn't want a big man from the state of Qi to fall in love with his little servant, and he was tossing and turning with thousands of thoughts.In order to please the big man, the nobleman wanted to exchange brother Jing and Mr. Zhou for that young man.Because Mr. Zhou was afraid that Brother Jing would not be able to come, he arranged a thrilling trip tomorrow.The confidant also said, "It would be the best if we can succeed in the chaos." Third Sister You guessed what they meant, as if she was a little afraid of Mr. Zhou.She thought, she might as well tell Mr. Zhou the details so that he could be on guard in exchange for her son's safety.

After taking a nap today, she pretended to go shopping, followed the news she overheard to find Lu's house, and gave five qian to the woman guarding the back door, falsely claiming that she was "a fellow of the bell girl next to Mr. Zhou".I never wanted to meet Jia Cong.

Jia Cong's mind became muddled after hearing this.What Third Sister You said messed up all her original speculations.The matter with the Spring Class should have been arranged by the direct branch of the Cui family, and Cui Ju looked disappointed that day, which shows that he was not willing.The two of them already knew that Shen Zhimo claimed to be the "Miss", and also knew that Liu Zhuang's high martial arts skills would definitely not be a "handsome boy", so they deliberately gave the nobleman wrong information.Looking at it this way, Cui Mian did not tell the true identity of Cui's direct branch, Jia Cong. After all, it is well known throughout the country that the Regent of Yan is afraid of his wife.

Jia Congnai asked: "Sister-in-law You, who is the noble person you are talking about?" Third Sister You stretched out three fingers.Jia Cong understood.After thinking for a long time, he said, "Since you don't want your children to sing, try to come to Yan Country. Compulsory education is popularized in Yan Country, and all children must go to school."

Third Sister You cried: "The nobleman has his eyes on him, so there is no way out. Third Master Cong, please excuse me to look at him and take him out of this hell. We two will be cows and horses in the next life to repay the Third Master."

Jia Cong shook his head: "What do I want cattle and horses for? I want population and investment. It's easy to save your son. Since Jiang Yuhan is now an influential theater troupe leader, you can help me persuade rich people from Qi to come to Yan to set up factories and shops. , in exchange, I will arrange for your son to study in the country of Yan."

Third Sister You immediately said: "I promise, I promise! As long as Brother Jing is saved from this tiger's den, we can do anything!"

"That's good." Jia Cong said, "That's it. As for the adventure tomorrow - don't worry, I admire them even if they can make a surprise, let alone a danger."

Third Sister You's eyes lit up, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Third Master Cong." Jia Cong thought of the Third Sister You who committed suicide, and he didn't know what it was like.

As soon as Third Sister You left, Jia Cong turned around and waved: "Zhuang Er, come out."

All the uncles and nephews of the Liu family came out.Liu Xiaoqi smiled and looked at her nephew: "Have you seen any other big men?"

They have only been in Qi for more than half a month, and they don't go out much, so have they seen any big shots?Not counting the Cui family and the Lu family who knew the details.Liu Zhuang thought about it for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I have no idea."

He was thinking, and others were thinking too, but they couldn't find a single suspect.In the end, Shen Zhimo said: "Could it be peeped by some princess?"

Jia Cong said: "The princess is not a big shot. No one who plays political games will try hard to please the princess. Wen can't control court and military and can't command soldiers." Nai clapped his hands and said, "Leave this question first. Look at the Cui family's descendants. What are you playing with Cui Mian?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I've figured it out just now. It's obvious that Xie Jing is not alone in the green forest business, and he's partnered with a local tycoon in Qi. His in-laws surnamed An are just a student of politics, and they can't support it." Putting on such a big air. Xie Jing, the direct branch of the Cui family, and the third child. One has experience and connections, one has local influence, and the other has a famous status. These three parties are in partnership and jointly engage in green forest business."

Jia Cong nodded and said: "It makes sense. Madam Ma is in the palace, and she has to serve King Qi, and join hands with the fifth child to deal with the prince, and she is a girl, too far away from the green forest. I tend not to have her share in this business. "

A thought suddenly flashed in Liu Zhuang's mind: "Uncle Jia!"

"Ok?"

"The fifth and third belong to both sides, Cui Mian and Cui's direct branch belong to both sides, right?"

"That's right." Jia Cong said, "But the direct branch of the Cui family can bully Cui Mian through the influence within the family."

"No matter how Cui Mian treats the fifth child, he will never be able to stand out again."

"Yes. The bond between Lao Wu and Cui Mian is Cui Shi. He is not willing to give up Cui Shi's life. Cui Mian can't let him go. It's just that he will use him if he doesn't keep it. No matter what, Lao Wu has withdrawn from the stage of history. .”

"However, the fifth child himself is not very capable, and he can stand up to the eldest son because he recognizes Ma as his mother."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The third child is not very capable. None of the princes of Qi can stand up on their own, but they all have legitimate identities, so all gods and demons can use them."

"If one party is completely ruined, such as the fifth child, will the people who bet on him before, such as Ma Shi and Ding Chu, change their course?"

"Of course." Jia Cong said, "It's not bright in the east, but it's bright in the west. Who can hang on a tree? Maybe they've already started looking for someone else."

Liu Zhuang thought about it for a while, his face was reddish, and he said bravely: "That time... I asked Mrs. Ma for a letter...it was the letter she framed Mrs. Cui..."

Jia Cong's eyes widened suddenly: "Who?!"

Liu Xiaoqi opened her mouth and couldn't close it: "Ah?!"

Shen Zhimo was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward and laughed together, and finally just lay down on the coffee table with his whole body.Jia Cong and Liu Xiaoqi laughed.Liu Zhuang blushed: "You're serious! Why did you laugh for so long." Everyone was about to stop talking, but they laughed for a while.

For half a day, Liu Xiaoqi was the first to hold back, and shouted, "Quiet, quiet..." Everyone gradually calmed down.Liu Xiaoqi said seriously, "I'm not clear-headed yet, the prince will speak first."

Just now Jia Cong really laughed hard, and now his stomach still hurts, he rubbed it and thought to himself: "There are many levels of cooperation between people. Lao Wu and Cui Mian have in-laws as mediators, and they should have gotten married. The old fifth had an affair with Mrs. Ma, which broke the knot abruptly. The fifth was obsessed with Mrs. Ma, but Mrs. Ma was not necessarily loyal to the fifth. She hooked up with Liu Tong's confidant in Lu State, and at the same time in Hong Kong. Messed up with several children of the Bai family. My guess is that the Ma family has cooperated with the third and the fifth, but the cooperation with the fifth is deeper-compared with the third, the fifth is like a fool. Jianru monk That incident should have been done by Mrs. Ma after getting the news, discussing with the third child, and the actions of the third child's subordinates. They didn't expect to be caught by us in advance."

Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while: "I didn't expect it beforehand. After you approached Mrs. Ma, she actually left the matter to the fifth child, and asked the fifth wife to take the lead. Did she discuss it with the third child?"

Jia Cong patted his head: "I'm a little messed up again, let's sort it out. The person who posted the green forest post - there is Bai Wuchang drawn on the post, let's call her Bai Wuchang for the time being. This Bai Wuchang is probably confusing Lou. The person from Jinqiao is also the one who advises Jianru, who is the person we are looking for. She should be a decisive role in the green forest business in Qi State, which is very important. This determines her boss—Xie Jing , the third child and the direct branch of the Cui family will not sacrifice her easily. At the end of last year, I threatened Madam Ma to help me investigate this person, and Madam Ma had to contact the third person. As the favorite concubine of King Qi, she must be very busy around the New Year. The third child is not She is a godson, and the relationship between the two of them should be secret, and they are each other's backup tires. Therefore, their communication is not very smooth. The third child was reluctant to sacrifice Bai Wuchang, so he asked Ma to find another person, Li Daitao. I think no matter the old The third is Ma Shi, who didn't pay much attention to this matter. In other words, Bai Wuchang should receive less attention than what she did, do you understand what I'm talking about?"

Shen Zhimo immediately said: "Understood."

Liu Zhuang thought for a while: "Understood."

Liu Xiaoqi raised her hand: "I don't understand. If Yan is strong and Qi is weak, wouldn't everyone be happy if the third child abandoned his pawn and gave her to us?"

"I have said long ago that a terrorist attack is a kind of extreme emotional venting by the weak side that the strong side can't do anything about. This method itself must have been thought up by the weak side, and the strong side would not have this kind of brain circuit. Bai Wuchang is very She has the ability, but her status is very low. The higher-ranking people are used to looking down on the lower-ranking ones. In addition, the Tianjin Shipyard case was not successful, and the country of Yan was not damaged. The third child thinks that this matter is not so important to the country of Yan. Regent of Yan Wang personally went to Qi State to look for Madam Ma, maybe just for fun. So he didn’t discuss it with too many people—comrades, remember that none of King Qi’s sons are useful, including the third child. That’s why he I will dispose of Ma Shi at will. And Ma Shi and the fifth child are committing adultery." Jia Cong snapped his fingers, "It would be great if I could use my hands to dispose of Cui Shi who is pregnant."

Liu Xiaoqi nodded slowly: "When Zhuang'er got the letter from Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Ma saw his kung fu. Mrs. Ma came from the country of Chen, so he knew how powerful the female guards are. Just in case, she kept it day and night Follow King Qi. We can only start with Lao Wu."

Jia Cong went on to say: "The fifth child is missing, and the Cui family is safe and sound. Cui Mian asked Zhuang'er to help him send a piece of paper, pointing the suspicion of kidnapping the fifth child to Green Forest. Cui Mian knew that their family's direct branch was in the Green Forest business. , as an old Confucian, he must be very dissatisfied. That Jianzi had the idea of ​​using the power of the Qi State court to attack Cui's direct branch. And he picked up his daughter and granddaughter from Lao Wu's house too quickly, which caused the third Pay attention, there is a secret arrangement at the door of their house. At least at this time, Cui Mian and his father have no idea about Bai Wuchang, and they are more active with us to scare the snake and wait for the rabbit. The third child is based on the idea that the fewer people who know the secret, the better. In principle, only Xie Jing’s relative, An’s second grandmother, was sent to get Cui’s words. However, nothing was caught, and many people, including Lu’s children, went to Wenji Lane to visit Zhou Xianggong. So they immediately paid attention to it. Speaking of Zhou Ji, another important person in the Cui clan was sent to formally question him—that old servant. The old servant probably didn’t expect that Cui Mian and his father would not tell him the truth—they concealed my identity and lied to him. Said that I was an important person sent by Yan State to handle the case. But they told me what the case I was going to handle. After hearing this, the old servant decided to stay at Cui Mian's house, because the old servant knew who the culprit of the case was. That night, Zhuang Er went to inquire Xie Jing’s in-law An Zejing, the old servant took advantage of the situation and gave us a list of the Xie family’s forces. It would be great if the Xie family could be wiped out with the sword of Yan Guo. Today, the Cui family no longer needs Xie Jing’s help , can independently win the green forest business.”

Liu Xiaoqi asked: "Who sent Zhou Zhoulang to test Zhuang'er's martial arts that night."

"I don't know." Jia Cong said, "It may be the old servant, but I personally prefer Cui Mian. He is not trying to test, but reminding."

"Remind who?"

"Remind us." Jia Cong said, "Cui Mian's intention to kill with a knife is still alive."
