The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Liu Xiaoqi interrogated Wu Jin'e and Brother Jiang Jing for half a day, and got a general idea of ​​the arrangement of the third son of the Qi family.Then temporarily sent them to the next room to stay.Four people entered the same room.As soon as the guards went out, Third Sister You rushed up and beat Wu Jin'e.Although Wu Jin'e was highly skilled in martial arts, she didn't even let her beat her for half a day, and her cheeks swelled up after a while.Fearing that something might happen to her, the guard stepped forward and stopped Third Sister You.Wu Jin'e looked at Third Sister You wearily and said, "If I owe you, I will pay it back."

On the other end, Jia Cong and others sat in the hall and ate tea for a while.Shen Zhimo said leisurely: "Just before lunch, the prince said that maybe you don't need to guess when you wake up. Sure enough, you don't need to guess."

Jia Cong propped his forehead: "Although there are many things that don't need to be guessed, I have to mix them in, which makes me even more tired."

Liu Xiaoqi glanced at him: "It's okay if you don't mix it up."

"No." Jia Cong said, "Although Brother Jiang Jing came up with the idea, it was Monk Jianru who was ordered by the two of them. And I hope that the monk will go to various countries and talk to the princes of all countries, so that all countries will send officers and soldiers. Terrorist attacks in the territory of my country of Yan. As long as he has this idea, it is like an indeterminate bomb and a source of virus infection. The mother's family still holds military power. If one day he gets crazy, he will really send officers and soldiers into the country. What about Yan State killing people? This person needs to die as soon as possible."

Liu Xiaoqi thought to himself, "I'll kill him."

Liu Zhuang said: "Seventh Uncle, don't be reckless. Didn't the King of Qi order Mr. Lu to investigate him? If you kill him right now, what will happen to the Qi State?"

Jia Cong hurriedly said: "If there is chaos, let it be chaos. If there is chaos, more people will come to the country of Yan."

Shen Zhimo said: "Anyway, he didn't have a few days to live, so it wouldn't be good for the prince of Qi to wipe out all his troops? If Uncle Liu Qi killed him, the matter would definitely fall on the head of Lvlin. Then the prince saw the people of Lvlin It can be of great use, how about just getting rid of the third child himself and taking over the green forest business force he left behind?"

Liu Zhuang went on to say: "Sooner or later, the population of Qi State will be the population of our Yan State. If Qi State becomes like Jiangxi in the early years, it will not benefit us."

Jia Cong touched his chin: "Okay, okay, it's up to you." Nai frowned and said, "That brother Jiang Jing is very troublesome. When I first coaxed him to confess, I promised Third Sister You to spare his life."

Liu Xiaoqi looked at him and said with a smile, "Look at the face of Mrs. Jiang's boss?"

"That's not true." Jia Cong said, "I have a good impression of Third Sister You in her previous life. And she is the most innocent in this matter. The child was conceived by the mother's flesh and blood. But this little friend... It's okay for a teenager to make a mistake, just reform and reform. He must not have done as many bad things as me. Who hasn't tasted the hardships of the world? Her mother was more difficult than him in the first half of her life. She was surrounded by tigers and wolves, and she was not guarded by her mother. Our silence was implicated by my uncle, from a young lady to a slave Girl, you didn't take revenge on the society! Jiang Yuhan wholeheartedly hoped that his son would be clean, and he would definitely not teach him how to hook up with men. He is self-taught. Life is such a long time. I really can't let go of this kind of person. .”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "That's not easy. I guarantee that he will die of illness within half a year, and Mrs. Jiang can only be punished as God."

Jia Cong raised his cheeks and said listlessly: "You guys won't understand...how should I put it? After all, he is a minor, so he still has a lot of educational responsibilities. But his guardian is in such a situation."

Liu Xiaoqi frowned: "What kind of minor is 14 years old. Many people are married at 14 years old."

Liu Zhuang asked: "Uncle Jia, how old is an adult?"

"."

"How about sending it to England?" Liu Zhuang said, "Send it with the whole family. Even if Westerners don't like to listen to operas, it will always be beneficial to show them the customs and customs of my country. It would be even better if it can attract people to learn Chinese. .Four years later... maybe Mrs. Jiang is pregnant again?"

Jia Cong thought for a while: "It's also a way to deal with it. It would be better if Third Sister You could find someone else again. I really hate the existence of people like the same wife. Jiang Yuhan had better confirm her sexual orientation." He After a pause, "Speaking of which, Mr. Wu must have concealed his identity. How did the third one find out?"

Liu Xiaoqi sneered and said, "How long can a roll of banknotes cost?"

"Well, yes." Jia Cong patted his forehead, "The next question. It seems that the third child has a very shallow relationship with Mrs. Ma, and he still wants to help Mrs. Ma find a lover to please him." Shen Zhimo couldn't help laughing twice Voice, Liu Zhuang calmly. "However, he was relieved to hand over such a big trouble as the Regent of Yan to Ma Shi. It can be seen that Ma Shi's influence on the Qi King must be quite large, so he gave the third child the illusion that she is omnipotent. That old man Cui Mian, we I have to thank him. Things are going smoothly, and the third child's mistaken perception of Zhou Ji's identity is the key."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "As King Qi's favored concubine, Mrs. Ma is not afraid of being seen by the King of Qi when he paints portraits of other men? If it is a secret, how can the youngest use the picture to find out?"

Jia Cong knocked on the desk twice: "The two of them must have never communicated about the portrait, otherwise the third child would not have misunderstood Zhuang'er's identity. If I saw the portrait, I would definitely think it was Mrs. Ma's friend, and I would pinch it when I found it." Lived at the gate of Mashi's life."

Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "If the picture is Lao Wu, then the fate of Ma Shi and Lao Wu will be pinched. At that time, we only need to help Lao Wu fight to defeat the prince, and then stand behind Lao Wu to kill Brother, just turn back and deal with the fifth child. Such things as having an affair with my little mother, Qi, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, will definitely not tolerate it."

Jia Cong snorted, "This man is really sinister." He clapped his hands, "Let's deal with this morning's matter. The third brother originally planned to let Mr. Zhao frame Mr. Wu first, and bring tired and spring classes. The Kong family The young master recognized Mr. Wu as an uncle in his family, so he had to stand up for Mr. Wu no matter what. This led the officials to go to Mr. Zhao's house to find the first draft of their fake playbook, and found several other articles by the way. The titles of those articles probably It seems to be a complete set with another important article, which is the one on Mr. Lu. The real author is someone close to the prince. That article must also have something to do with King Qi sending people to Qufu to offer sacrifices to the Confucius family. It was approved by the King of Qi and Master Kong. The King of Qi is fond of writing and likes ceremonial things. Maybe he will send his son to Qufu because of this article. If the third child disturbs the situation, the son will not be able to go. You can also send Wu Mister sent me back to Kong’s house. By the way, how long does it take to get to Qufu?”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Half a day."

"Um... so close. No wonder Master Kong still has time to listen to the opera. Fanciers are causing trouble, and there are people from the green forest among them, leading me into chaos. Brother Jiang Jing has never missed a job in the past, and the third child has great confidence in him." He said. Tsk-tsk twice, "Qi State's style of seizing the throne is really different. Others are busy wooing powerful officials and generals, and they are busy wooing the Kong family."

Shen Zhimo suddenly said: "There is one thing I don't understand. If the third son wants to send Mr. Zhao to be a favored scholar in front of the King of Qi, he will have to kill Mr. Wu unjustly. Mr. Wu is someone he can control, why should he die unjustly?" ?”

Jia Cong said: "It's not my own people who can control it. There is an important issue here. The playbook is indeed written by Mr. Wu. But he may not be able to prove it to the King of Qi, because the King of Qi may not be patient to listen to him for some small things. Let me tell you carefully; and the second piece of porcelain that I will touch next is far more important than the playbook, so I don't care about him. Back in Qufu, the Kong family will definitely listen to Mr. Wu's statement and watch him patiently The evidence will not wrong him. The truth cannot be false, especially if Mr. Wu took care of Master Kong during the fancier rebellion. But even if the Kong family finds out the truth, they will not help Mr. Wu get justice. For one thing, this matter It is obvious that the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond. The Kong family has remained unchanged for many dynasties, so it is natural to know that it is inconvenient for the dragon to seize the heir. Second, Wu Li is an alias, and the reputation of the Kong family will not be damaged by carrying the scapegoat. You can just change your real name back. What the third child wants is Mr. Wu’s identity in the Kong family. Besides, Mr. Wu is the love rival of the third child. Brother Jiang Jing gave it to me, and Jiang Yuhan can’t keep it for himself?” Jia Cong suddenly felt Feeling chills, "I'll go! It tastes so strong." Busily patted the goosebumps on his body.

Shen Zhimo nodded lightly: "I understand. What is that article?"

Jia Cong spread his hands: "I don't know. Do you think it is necessary to ask Mr. Lu? I'm talking about our landlord Mr. Lu Jian. As the highest official in the Lu family, he will definitely not be kept in the dark. "

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Since we want to get involved, the more we know, the better."

Jia Cong looked at Liu Zhuang with a smile: "Zhuang'er, go to greet Mr. Lu? As a foreign imperial family, you are worthy."

"Zhimo go." Liu Zhuang said, "I have something to go out."

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

"Let's talk when we come back." After speaking, Liu Zhuang went straight out the door.

Several people in the room looked at each other. "What is he going to do?" "How would I know!"

A few days ago, after finding out that Mrs. Ma had framed the five princesses, Mrs. Cui, Jia Cong thought about arresting Mrs. Ma for questioning.I don't want Mrs. Ma to follow King Qi day and night.Jia Cong and the others didn't want to disturb too much, so they gave up.The few times Liu Zhuang went to Prince Qi's mansion, so he was very familiar with the road.It will be dark now.Like a swallow, Liu Zhuang climbed into the courtyard wall of Prince Qi's mansion, waiting in the dark.The maids and eunuchs shuttled back and forth, busy delivering food boxes to the masters.When the night was completely dark, Liu Zhuang quietly found Ma Niangniang's yard.Go in and check, she is indeed having dinner, and King Qi is not there.Presumably the third child had told her that the real culprit had been sent to Zhou Xianggong's mansion, so she relaxed.

At one point, Mrs. Ma had finished eating, and the maids were busy cleaning up the dishes.Liuzhuang imitated the meowing of a cat for a while, which was exactly the same as what Ma heard in Puzhao Temple on the first day of February.Ma was surprised in vain.After thinking for a while, he said he wanted to rest alone for a while, got up and walked to the back room, ordering everyone else to retreat.

Liu Zhuang slipped to the window and knocked "dongdongdong" three times, and Ma Shi sat upright at the table and beckoned.Liu Zhuang opened the window and jumped in, and lightly clasped his fists at her: "Madam Ma, I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty to visit."

Mrs. Ma smiled slightly, and wrote with a pen: "My little brother must have something urgent. Please sit down."

Liu Zhuang said: "I still have an errand, so I won't sit down, just say a few words."

Mrs. Ma glanced at him and wrote: "Please tell me, little brother."

Liu Zhuang said solemnly: "The portrait my mother drew for me was stolen or copied to the Third Highness." Mrs. Ma gasped. "Your Majesty, please check the people around you." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Third Highness may have bad intentions for your Majesty." After saying this, he immediately cupped his hands, and without waiting for Ma Shi to react, he rushed out of the window like lightning.Ma Shi chased after a few steps to the window and looked around, but couldn't even see a shadow.

After standing by the window for a long while, Ma Shi suddenly felt a chill down his back, turned around and rushed to the head of the bed.With trembling hands, he opened a secret compartment and took out a few letters from it.After staying for a while, he simply took out the entire hidden drawer and fell it on the kang with a clatter.With just one glance, Mrs. Ma knew something was missing, and standing in front of the kang looked cloudy and cloudy.After a long time, she packed up the things one by one, put the secret compartment back and locked it.

After thinking for a moment, Mashi picked up a pen and wrote a line of characters, and hurried out to show it to the close nurse.Mammy was stunned: "Your Majesty lost a portrait?"

Mrs. Ma nodded, and then wrote: "It's my father's portrait. It's well placed, but I haven't taken it out to look at it recently, and suddenly I can't find it."

Mammy said "Oops": "It turned out to be a portrait of the father-in-law. It must be the mother-in-law who misses the father-in-law. I took it out and looked at it. I forgot to put it back somewhere."

Ma shook his head and wrote: "I haven't watched it for a while. I really put it away then."

The mother said: "You are always in this yard, can you still grow wings and fly?" Then she called all the people in the yard and asked them to help find it together.

Ma wrote: "My father is very young in the portrait. Because I have left home since I was very young, I don't know what he looks like now."

Mammy hurriedly said: "It's a portrait of the father-in-law when he was young, not the old man. It must be quite similar to the empress." Madam Ma immediately laughed, and glanced down.

The maids and eunuchs were busy looking around.I searched for a long time, but couldn't find it.Mrs. Ma shook her head, and wrote with a pen: "That's all. I'll draw another picture tomorrow." The mother then ordered everyone not to look for it anymore.

Mrs. Ma ordered people to study ink, and drew another portrait of Liuzhuang, who was older and with a beard, and wrote two words beside it: my father.Two days later, a well-known confidant eunuch did not ask for leave from Mrs. Ma in person because she returned home. She was inexplicably furious and killed him.Everyone else was shocked.Ma Shi has always been quite tolerant towards his servants, and has never taken anyone's life because of a small matter.This is for later.

On the other side, when Liu Zhuang returned to Lu's Guest House, everyone asked him what he was doing just now.Liu Zhuang said: "I haven't eaten yet." Everyone had to endure curiosity and wait for him to eat.After finishing eating for a while, he said, "I have reported to Madam Ma."

"what?!"

"Now it is obvious that Madam Ma is very talkative in front of the King of Qi. After a while, the people of the son found out that the third highness was behind the Green Forest forces. The prince's own son, Mr. Lu, cannot take charge of the rectification by himself, so he must return to the King of Qi first. Let it be decided. His Highness the Third Highness formed an alliance with Madam Ma. If Madam Ma happened to say some words of persuasion beside King Qi, Mr. Lu may not be able to move him." Liu Zhuang said, "I just went to warn Ma Madam about the portrait. First, cut off the back road for the Third Highness. Presumably, Madam Ma will not only help save him, but also cause trouble."

Jia Cong and Liu Xiaoqi looked at each other for a long time, and said in unison: "Why didn't you think of that!" Everyone laughed.

Liu Zhuangnai asked: "Have you asked Mr. Lu Jian what is going on with that article?"

Shen Zhimo said: "I've been there. He said that Master Lu will come over in person to talk about it in the morning."
