It is said that the police officers of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division listened to the descriptions of the people in Ma Daopo Temple and knew from the three words "Jia Baoyu" that he was from the Rongguo Mansion. Back then, everyone knew that Jia Erye accidentally killed the king of Nan'an County. Zero o'clock
After reading the book, he quickly invited Zhao Cheng over.
Zhao Cheng inquired about the situation in detail from the beginning and found out that Ma Dao Po had personally admitted to using magic to harm Jia Baoyu. He also heard from the little Taoist nun that Jia Cong claimed to be the "Great God of the Three Altar Seas", so how could he dare to go to Rongguo Mansion? Even he himself murmured: "It turns out that Cong
Third Master is not a good boy!"
A detective with a gossipy nature said: "Shancai boy is the son of the Bull Demon King. Even if he achieves perfection, he is still a monster! The third prince of Nezha is the real god. Look at the tone of the third master Cong's words,
'Do you really think I'm a calf like Red Boy?' You don't take Shancai Boy seriously at all!"
Another said: "It's no wonder that Jiang Taigong, the third prince of Nezha, became a god at that time. At that time, the Bull Demon King didn't even know whether he was born or not."
Another said: "Could it be that Ma Daopo mistakenly thought he was a red boy and dared to take action? Tsk tsk, I didn't even figure out who his brother was. He deserves to be killed because of his lack of magic power!"
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said: "What do I say every day? When doing errands in the capital, you must be careful, there are all kinds of people! Look, we have met the princes and princes, and now we have even met the gods! It's an eye-opener.
No?" No wonder I am always in disgrace when dealing with their family. They have a Nezha! I will have to be more cautious in the future.
Someone else asked: "Who is that white girl?"
Zhao Cheng glared at him: "Don't pry around about the affairs of wealthy people!" The man quickly shrank his neck, having already made up for his love affair.
Zhao Chengsui concluded that Ma Daopo's death was caused by the evil deeds that caused people to be poisoned and died of backlash, and did not even enter the Rongguo Mansion.
However, Jia Cong's reputation as "Nezha" gradually spread. Someone asked the Rongguo Mansion to inquire about Jia Baoyu's situation at that time, and it was strung together with the death of Ma Daopo, and it suddenly became a "Fighting"! There are also
The gentleman who was good at talking and breaking up arranged a comment, and the chat in the teahouse and restaurant was bustling, and it turned into "Flying swords and fighting talismans, fighting three Lily". "Ma Daopo saw that his appearance in the golden light was that of a man with a red headband.
The child also heard that the good boy went down to the realm to survive the tribulation, and he thought to himself that he was just a little calf and a poor man, but he was not afraid. Unexpectedly, during the fight, the third master Cong suddenly appeared in the lotus, and Ma Daopo exclaimed, it turned out to be the third prince Nezha!
It’s a pity that it was too late, the Qiankun Circle came flying towards the door and hit the front door...” and so on and so on. This is a story for later.
On the other side, Li Wan sent someone to capture Yuchuan'er, and kept her in prison according to Jia Cong's words, waiting for Baoyu to recover for a few days before using her again. When Yuchuan'er knew that the matter was exposed, she was completely disheartened and waited for death.
The next day, Feng Ziying shackled Zhong Wei and carried him to his home's waterside pavilion. A large screen was built in the waterside pavilion, and he and Situ Pan hid behind the screen.
Someone took Zhong Wei across the Jiuqu Bridge and saw a table, two chairs, a pot, and two lamps set up in the waterside pavilion. In early spring, the wind was warm and the clouds were light, and the fragrance of flowers drifted over from nowhere. It was very comfortable to smell it.
A chubby young man was standing on the railing. When he saw him, he smiled and waved: "Hello, General Zhong~~ My name is Jia Cong."
Zhong Wei's brows moved: "Jia Sanye of Rongguo Mansion, I have heard of his famous name." He couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly.
Jia Cong came over and cupped his hands and said: "Um... General Zhong, I was entrusted by my friend to come here to persuade the general to put aside his grudges and serve the country. I hope the general can give my friend a face. Whether he agrees or not, I will listen to him.
That’s it.”
Zhong Wei thought this friend was referring to Gan Lei, Chen, etc. Feng Ziying thought he was referring to herself, so they both smiled slightly.
The two of them sat down. Jia Cong poured tea and took a few sips. He thought for a while and said, "Does General Zhong know that your nephew is still alive?"
Zhong Wei sighed: "I don't know."
Jia Cong said: "I know, he is alive."
Zhong Wei's eyes flashed and he didn't answer.
"Has the general ever complained about him causing trouble to his family?"
Zhong Wei shook his head and said: "No. He was only seventeen years old at that time, he was a child."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "General Zhong is more reasonable than many people. Has the general ever thought about why your family ended up in such a state of ruin when it was not an act of evil?"
Zhong Wei sneered: "Does Mr. Jia want to say that Prince Zhongshun is full of evildoers or that the late emperor is fatuous?"
Jia Cong said: "None of them. It's you and your brother who are both incompetent and stupid."
Zhong Wei took a breath of air.
"Early years ago, the Supreme Emperor gave my eldest sister to Huo Xuan, the king of Xiannan'an County, as his concubine. I was too young at that time, and I couldn't despise Huo Xuan and had nothing to do with him, so I could only tell my eldest sister not to take it.
Fight for favor and be a transparent person in the house. I will find a way to rescue her in the future. As long as she is a good person and keeps the green hills, I will not worry about having no firewood." As he said that, Jia Cong glanced at Zhong Wei.
Zhong Wei understood and nodded lightly. "After Huo Xuan died, their family wanted to send my sister to be a sister-in-law. I took the lead and led three brothers to snatch her back! I even beat old Nan'an in public.
Concubine." He bared his teeth and smiled, "General, does he know why I was not retaliated by the Nan'an Palace?"
Zhong Wei thought for a moment and said: "The three noble men are famous all over the capital. If Prince Huo wants to take revenge on you, there will be noble people to stop him."
Jia Cong nodded: "Yes. The three of us brothers are all rare advisers and are of great use to the court. How does Huo Sheng compare with us? If General Zhong and your brother are the pillars of the country, how can the late emperor be willing to wrong your nephew? Without you?
Not many, not enough for you, so he will be too lazy to defend you against injustice. If you are wronged, you will be wronged, and it’s not like no one has been wronged."
Zhong Wei smiled miserably when he heard this: "What the third master said is that I am incompetent." Yin asked, "Is there any wine?"
Jia Cong said: "No, you can just serve tea."
Zhong Wei could only drink the tea in front of him in one gulp.
"It's just that the imperial court is so big, there are only a few pillars, and the remaining ministers are not pillars. Not every family will be so unlucky. General Zhong, you made another mistake, and this one is fatal. As the saying goes
I can't afford to offend an unreasonable pervert like Prince Zhongshun, but I can't afford to hide him. If I want to hide from him, I have to hide in the south of the Yangtze River, right?! What's the point of hiding at home! Is that called hiding? The second prince fell in love with him that day.
He killed my cousin, and my cousin hid directly in Taiwan!"
Zhong Wei was stunned again. After a long while, he thumped the desk hard, and let out a roar from his Dantian. His grief, anger and regret rushed straight to the sky: "How stupid!" Jia Cong was startled! After a while, he thumped again.
one time.
After he regretted it for a while, Jia Cong said leisurely: "The heaven and the earth are ruthless, and they treat all things as stupid dogs. There has never been fairness in the world, there is no fairness now, and there will never be in the future. What a wise king and a cowardly king are just a little bit fairer."
The difference between extremely unfair and extremely unfair. You hope that the court will treat you fairly, but this expectation itself is wrong. Fair! Are princes guilty of breaking the law and the common people? Which dynasties and generations at home and abroad have such records in ancient and modern times? The late emperor was fatuous. Yes. Yes.
The late emperor was fatuous. Wouldn't he be fatuous if he wasn't the late emperor? Of course, the late emperor was extremely fatuous. He was so fatuous that I had nothing to say to scold him. He was a strange flower among the fatuous kings. I owe everything to him to where I am today.
wrong!"
Situ Pan, who was behind the screen, wanted to laugh and curse after hearing this, but he had promised in advance that he could not stop him from scolding the late emperor, so he had to endure it. He looked up at Feng Ziying, who also looked like he was laughing and laughing. Zhong Wei also looked like he couldn't bear it.
I didn't know what to say, so I just drank tea.
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said: "But we all live in this unfair world, so we can't accept our fate and wait for death! People have to fight for themselves and their families. Ministers, they are nothing more than learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor.
A family just needs a few stipends to buy rice. Since there is no fairness in the world, everyone wants to find a position where they can take advantage. That's why there are lords, Bole and Chollima. If Bole can achieve great things, Chollima can take advantage.
For example, if other people don't dare to sell stolen goods for the Green Forest Thief, my family dares to do so! Others have to go to the prison to sell stolen goods, but my father doesn't have to."
Situ Pan's face was twisted, he clenched his teeth and endured it for a long time, and finally whispered to Feng Ziying: "If I can't help but want to strangle this kid later, don't stop me." Feng Ziying suppressed a smile and said, "Yes.
". Zhong Wei opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't. He still closed his eyes and drank tea.
Unexpectedly, Jia Cong went on to say: "Prince Zhongshun has robbed many men and women. But one time he fell in love with a beautiful sister-in-law. My sister respected that sister-in-law and put her in her family temple to protect her.
, Prince Zhongshun didn’t dare to snatch it!”
Zhong Wei trembled all over!
Jia Cong raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Wei: "I have long heard that Prince Zhongshun's palace supports many green forest experts. What does he do when he has no time to support so many people in the world? It costs money, and you can't manage the affairs for him. Unless..."
Zhong Wei couldn't help but leaned forward and asked: "Unless what?!"
"Unless someone often assassinates him. Once is not twice, twice is not three times, three times is not enough, four times, five times, six, seven, eight, nine, countless times! Until that person dies, Prince Zhongshun will have no peace." Jia Cong smiled and said, "Order
The nephew must be alive, and he is still working tirelessly to assassinate his enemy - the then Crown Prince Zhongshun, now Prince Zhongshun. Oh, he is now the King of E. He must have neither succeeded nor been killed by the green forest masters raised by Prince Zhongshun.
Because King E still has those green forest experts. As for when he will take action next time, whether he will succeed or be killed, I don’t know."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence both inside and outside the screen. Situ Pan and Feng Ziying looked at each other with their mouths open for a long time. Feng Ziying gave a thumbs up, and Situ Pan nodded with a smile.
After a long time, Jia Cong said: "Liu Dengxi saved you, and you have worked hard for him for many years. Now he is dead, but he died not unjustly. There is nothing to say about becoming a king and losing a bandit, and seizing the legitimate son. Prince Yi Zhong
There were many deaths in this department back then. I think you have repaid your kindness to Eunuch Liu and you are worthy of him. But your nephew Zhong Heng, as elders, you did not protect him well back then. You still owe Zhong Heng.
. Besides, he is the only flesh and blood of your Zhong family. If the great revenge is not avenged, he will probably not get married and have children. As the old saying goes, there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the worst. It is better..."
Zhong Wei took a long breath and listened with bated breath.
Jia Cong poured a cup of tea and drank it all, stretched his shoulders and arms, and said with a smile: "How about General Zhong go to Ezhou and open a teahouse near Ewang's Mansion, and use a word that both you and Zhong Heng know as a sign. For example, his calligraphy,
Your calligraphy, your brother's calligraphy... When he goes back to take revenge next time, when he sees the sign, he will definitely feel that he is connected with this teahouse and the Zhong family, so he goes in and takes a seat... You have such a high skill, uncle and nephew can work together
Wouldn't it be easier to take revenge? After the great revenge is avenged, you can also marry him a wife and give birth to a fat nephew. Your Zhong family can be considered a heir." Seeing Zhong Wei's eyes.
With anticipation aroused, Jia Cong turned to look behind the screen, "Brother Xian Wang, are you ready?"
Situ Pan also took a deep breath, stood up and walked out from behind, saying to Zhong Wei: "If the general is willing to put aside his grudges with Eunuch Liu, find his nephew, and avenge his past, I will not stop him."
Before Zhong Wei and Situ Pan could speak, Jia Cong said again: "The public is public, and the private is private. To the public, you and your companions will serve Liu Dengxi until death, and you will no longer owe anything to him. Just like he is a
Boss, you are his big shopkeeper. His shop closed down due to poor management, and you stayed on until the last day without even asking for salary. However, the shop is still closed. This is none of your business, and life is yours.
Just because your original shop is closed, you can't just drink the northwest wind. If you think that the shop opposite is grabbing business and causing your shop to close, it's okay not to work in the shop opposite, but it's okay to change your career to be a woodcutter or a farmer.
.Besides, it’s not like your shop has never taken business from others and forced them to close their doors and go bankrupt! In business, you are willing to accept defeat. It would be unkind to be pretentious." Yi Bi said, and he looked at it.
Zhong Wei.
Zhong Wei listened to his ears and understood in his mind which of the words just now was the most important. "Your companion". He couldn't help but breathe heavily. When Jia Cong used Zhong Heng to persuade him, he really thought that it was...
Advising him to surrender to Situ Pan, he suddenly realized that those words were just a cover, told to Situ Pan behind the screen. This Jia Cong not only wanted to save him, but also wanted to save the rest of his companions! There were so many things in his mind at the moment.
I rolled around, thinking about my companions and my nephew, and couldn't settle down for a long time.
Situ Pan and Feng Ziying both saw what he looked like. Feng Ziying said, "Why don't you, general, think about it for a few more days?"
Zhong Wei nodded.
Feng Ziying then made a gesture, and the soldiers guarding the bridge came over and respectfully asked Zhong Wei to move. Zhong Wei raised his eyes and glanced at Jia Cong.
Jia Cong smiled and waved, and uttered chicken soup for the soul: "Those who abandon me can't keep yesterday's day. No matter what, tomorrow is a new day. People should not live in the past, but in the present; nor should they live in the present.
Instead of living in the past, you should live for the future. General Zhong, as long as people are alive, there is hope. You are very poor, but you are not without everything. You still have Zhong Heng. Look -" He pointed to a flower stand on the other side of the lake,
"Newly blooming roses!"
Zhong Wei looked at the rose stand in the distance and breathed faster, then turned around and left with the soldiers escorting him.
They gradually crossed the bridge and landed on the shore. Situ Pan couldn't help but ask: "Cong'er, will he surrender to me?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "Yes."
Feng Ziying punched him: "What a boy! You can make the dead alive!"
Jia Cong said: "Only those who have lost themselves will die for the loser. Because Zhong Wei lost his family business and himself, he gave his whole life to Liu Dengxi. But he still has a nephew who may not be dead. In case this happens
Is the nephew not dead? This is hope. When he has hope, he naturally wants to live for himself. If he wants to find his nephew, he must first let him go to Ezhou. Brother Xian Wang cannot let such a tiger return without any reason.
Shan. He has to find a way to prove that he no longer cares about Liu Dengxi before you let him go."
Situ Pan nodded and said, "Of course. But I don't know how to believe him."
Jia Cong said: "Leave it to him to think. As long as he is determined to go to Ezhou, he will try to win your trust, otherwise he will not be able to leave. It is not difficult to make a poisonous oath or something like that."
Situ Pan said, "What if he refuses?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said: "He will definitely do it. No father or uncle would ignore his nephew in danger, not to mention that he is the only flesh and blood of their Zhong family. Zhong Wei must be very anxious at the moment, afraid that he will be late.
After a while, what if Zhong Heng is killed by King E? I wish I could immediately fly to Ezhou and keep an eye on his nephew."
Situ Pan said again: "Do you really think Zhong Heng is trying to assassinate the King of E? What if he didn't go?"
"It's obvious that I'm the one who assassinated the King of Hubei!" Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "It's so obvious that Zhong Wei's care leads to chaos, so you two will believe it! As long as Zhong Wei can live like an ordinary person,
He is bound to interact with others. What about the waiters in the teahouse, the frequent tea patrons, the proprietress of the restaurant next door... Is it possible that he fell in love with a widow and wanted to marry her? An old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life, save
I married a gentle and hard-working little widow. Oh my, what a blessing from God. Zhong Wei is not old yet, he can still give birth to a son." He winked, "It's not easy for a shopkeeper who is good at business to farm the land. I'm afraid it won't be easy and he won't make any money.
A few bucks. Speaking of which, I was very poor back then and refused to work in the shop across the street. The shop owner across the street gave me a few bucks to buy land regardless of past grudges. After all, I owed him a favor. Oh, my son still wants it.
It’s about marrying a wife! If you don’t have money, you can’t afford a bride price. If you can’t afford a bride price, you won’t be able to get a good wife. Are you going to watch your son marry a rich and unsophisticated girl?”
Situ Pan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly he put his hands on his hands and laughed, then pointed at Jia Cong and said: "How on earth did you get this kid! Well, well, well, if he comes to be the shopkeeper of the shop opposite, the boss will give you a big red envelope."
!”
Jia Cong jumped up and shouted: "It's settled!" Then he turned to look at Feng Ziying, "Brother Feng will be a witness!"
Feng Ziying also smiled and said: "Okay, I will be a witness! Your Majesty is not allowed to deny it!"
The three of them laughed together at the waterside pavilion, and their laughter spread far across the water.
