At the beginning of the day, he told Jia Congbao that a spy had come in with his second wife, and tied Jia Baoyu to death. At the beginning of the day, Jia Cong and Jia Huan looked at each other, and laughed in unison: "What should come will eventually come."
Get up and be startled.
Jia Huan said: "Eight hundred years ago, we both thought that Jia Baoyu would one day introduce female spies into his family. This day has finally come."
Jia Cong said: "That's fine, it saves us the chance. It's like dropping the second boot. What does Sister Yun mean?"
Qi nodded and said: "That Ziyan looks ordinary, Second Mistress Bao hasn't noticed it yet, but she is quite lucky that there is a very smart person in the dowry."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "I usually work straight without bending. Besides, Jia Baoyu is just a stone. He won't understand even if I try to make a roundabout way with him. Excuse me, I just want to tell you what we heard.
I heard about Sister Yun’s matter and asked them to send someone from the yard to come over and tell me the story clearly."
Qi.pointed: "You want to interrogate her?"
Jia Cong waved his hand: "No time." He whispered something to her, and couldn't help but laugh. Jia Huan rolled his eyes. Jia Cong winked and went inside to change clothes.
She got up. Then she stood up and went to Baoyu Courtyard to talk a few words. Sure enough, both Baoyu and Xiangyun ordered Ziyan to come with her. Seeing that the two of them looked at Ziyan with four eyes eagerly, as if they were looking at a giant axe, they got up.
.There is a hint of schadenfreude in the dim sum.
When Zi Yan entered the hall of Lixiang Courtyard, she knelt down in front of Jia Cong and Jia Huan with a low eyebrow and said, "I have seen you two."
Jia Cong waved his hand: "Take it."
Zi Yan was startled. She got up and looked at the rope hanging on the desk. She reached out and took it, pressed it to the ground, and neatly tied up her limbs. Zi Yan cried in fear and screamed that she was wronged.
Jia Cong said angrily: "Originally I wanted to interrogate him, but I won't interrogate him because of the quarrel. I will drag him out and strangle him to death."
Zi Yan immediately cried: "Why do you strangle me to death?"
Jia Cong said: "Since you are a slave and I am a man, I don't like you. Okay, okay, I am too lazy to interrogate her after a long day, so let's leave it like that."
Zi Yan shouted: "I am from Second Grandma Bao."
Jia Cong said calmly: "You are an ancestor and I will kill you. She is just a girl. She just said that she insulted the eldest brother without restraint, so I killed her in a rage. Or you can arrange a story for me at will.
By the way, it’s best to coax Jia Baoyu. I’ll go back to the house to rest for a while.” He stood up and left.
When Jia Huan saw this, he also said: "Then I am too lazy to interrogate, and I have to have dinner with my aunt." He also picked up his feet and went out.
When he got up and saw that all the men were gone, he could only say: "I want to see how he judges people, but he is so lazy." Then he found a rope and put it around Zi Yan's neck.
It wasn't until the rope was around his neck that Zi Yan realized that he was dead, and his eyes straightened. He stood up and asked, "Do you have anything to say? I'll do it without you." Zi Yan shook her head.
He stood up and nodded, Zi Yan suddenly shouted, "I have something to say, I have something to say!"
He started and said: "Speak quickly, and we'll be on our way after you finish speaking."
Zi Yan gasped for a while, stared at her for a long time, and asked: "Dare to ask. Sister Dian, what is wrong with me that Third Master wants to kill me? I will be a wise man even if I die!"
He started and said, "The face is dark and the neck is white."
Zi Yan was startled.
He started to point out: "Your makeup. You sincerely painted yourself ugly, and you are too smart. In fact, our master is not sure whether you are a spy. But he has a lazy temper, and would rather kill by mistake than let go. If you
If you are not a spy, you will be unlucky and will be reincarnated into the belly of your master in the next life."
Ziyan burst into tears and shed tears: "Just because of this?"
He started to point out: "Let me add one more thing for him, you look good when you cry. I am a woman and I feel pity for you, let alone a man? I don't believe you if you haven't practiced. Do you have anything else to say?" Yibi said.
, pinched the rope in his hand, as if he was impatient and wanted to take action just waiting for her to say a few words.
Zi Yan paused for a moment, then said calmly with a sad expression: "Sister Qi. Dian, don't you ask me who sent me? Maybe it's the virtuous king?"
She stood up and said: "I am the one sent by the wise king." As soon as she said the words, she secretly laughed in her heart. She had learned the skill of talking nonsense so quickly.
Zi Yan was startled again, and after a long while she smiled bitterly and said: "I'm just telling you. My sister is good-looking and a first-rate person of the master. It was a gift from Mr. Cong's friend. How could Mr. Cong accept a big gift from his friend at will?
Girl."
He stood up, nodded, glanced at the sky and said, "Okay, do you have anything else to say? I still have a lot of things to do."
Zi Yan smiled sadly and said: "You two have the same status, why are you forcing each other like this?"
Qi Dian glanced at him and said: "The same identity? The wise king thought that the Rongguo Mansion did not have decent guards, so he sent me to protect a few gentlemen. Didn't you see them hugging me every day?"
Zi Yan sighed: "I've only been in the mansion for a few days. It's rare for Lixiangyuan to come in. I really haven't seen it. Sister Qi. Although you and I are our own masters, for the sake of my own life, can you let me
Let me meet Mr. Cong."
Qi Dian frowned and said, "Who is your master?"
Zi Yan said: "In this round, I have no grudge against the wise king. All the kings are looking for talents everywhere, but the wise king got the first move. My master is King Lu. Even if I die, my master has something to entrust to Cong.
Third Master."
He thought about it for a while and said, "Master Cong has no rules in his actions. I'll ask him. He may not be interested."
Zi Yan sighed softly: "Thank you sister. Even if I die, my death will always make a difference."
Qi Dian then went out. Zi Yan was left alone in the hall with no one paying attention. He heard people walking around outside. Someone from the kitchen came to deliver food boxes, and some brothers were boxing outside. I don’t know how long it took, so Qi Dian left.
He came in and said, "Master Cong feels better after having a full meal. He is willing to see you. Let's go." Then he untied the rope around her legs and helped her stand up.
Zi Yan lowered her eyebrows and said, "Sister, there's no need to be wary of me, I've never practiced martial arts."
He stood up and said, "Master Cong didn't let me untie you."
Zi Yannai followed her bumpily to the study room. Jia Cong and several brothers were talking. He stopped talking when he saw her two coming in. Zi Yan knelt down with a plop, and Jia Cong looked at her and said casually.
Asked: "People from King Lu?"
Purple smoke lowers its head and should say "yes".
"What does King Lu mean by placing people next to Bao'er sister-in-law? Does he think brother Baoyu is the talent?"
Zi Yan said: "Third Master, it is really not easy to sneak into Rongguo Mansion. Besides, Second Master Bao is a man after all, and the waiter Shenying has shocked Shilin."
Jia Cong said: "If you are just picking people to collect information, you should choose someone with mediocre appearance so as not to attract attention. Since you are a standout in appearance, do you think King Lu ordered you to be the mistress of Brother Bao Er?"
Zi Yan said softly: "Yes."
Jia Cong said: "I guess we have to try to make Sister Yun infertile."
Zi Yan said: "I heard that Third Master Cong has the ability to give birth to a child, but I have never had such an idea. Anyway, Third Master Cong and the Third Master are both from a concubine, so they will not look down on their nephews from a concubine."
Jia Cong said: "I really don't understand what's going on. Even if you can raise a nephew for our family, you are just an aunt, and you can't talk to our family at all, so what's the use? Can an aunt still be in charge of the Rongguo Mansion?"
Which prince are you following?"
Zi Yan said: "I heard that Third Master Cong likes smart women, Zi Yan feels that he is not stupid."
Jia Cong nodded and said: "You are really not stupid, and you are very good at judging people's choices. This must not be the case when you talk to Brother Bao Er."
Zi Yan smiled and said, "Of course. Mr. Cong is most tired of beating around the bush in his life. If you have something to say, just speak out. Mr. Bao is an idiot. When you talk to an idiot, you have to follow his obsession."
Jia Cong said "Oh": "I understand. King Lu sent people to find out a lot of his nonsense in advance. You learned all of it and then said it in a roundabout way, as if your heart is the same as his.
, he will trust you. In two years' time, you will have removed the ugly makeup on your face and you will be a beautiful woman, and he will love you more and more. Then he will set a trap for Sister Yun and falsely accuse her of being jealous of you and killing you.
, it’s very easy to gain favor when she falls out of favor.”
Zi Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Does Mr. Cong even know the tricks of women?"
Jia Cong chuckled and said: "Yihongyuan is run by my family, and I know better than others how women deal with men. That's all, I'm more pleased with you now. In the early years, King Lu served under the orders of Taiyuan Prefecture.
He is a local ruffian who amassed money and almost killed me and a group of brothers. I will not help him. You don’t have to say anything he asked you to pass on to me. Moreover, all the troops of the Lu State are controlled by Liu Tong.
In the hands of the old thief, I have a personal feud with Liu Tong, and I will deal with him sooner or later. How about you switch your side to me? I have always been afraid that Brother Bao Er is unreliable and has unknowingly fallen into other people's ways. With someone like you here who knows the tricks,
He'll feel better next to you."
Zi Yan asked curiously: "Master Liu, have you ever offended the Third Master?"
Jia Cong said: "When he occupied the capital, he imprisoned both of my gentlemen, making the two old men eat in prison and sleep on straw beds, and they were very unhappy. I haven't settled this account with him yet.
.”
"This..." Zi Yan couldn't laugh or cry, and said softly, "Those two adults are both the Supreme Emperor's confidants. Mr. Liu had to use them as a raft at that time. How can it be regarded as a personal enmity?"
Jia Cong said: "I have never been public-minded. It is a personal enmity to hurt my teacher's relatives and friends. Okay, just tell me whether you want to switch to me. First, let's talk in detail about King Lu's plan in Rongguo Mansion? The historians and them
How far has the collusion gone? Do they have any leverage?"
Zi Yan bit her lip lightly: "Thank you for the promotion, Third Master, but my whole family is in Lu country."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "That's right. Then I have to kill you." Zi Yan was startled. Jia Cong continued, "You are a spy and useless. You also know a lot of important things in my house. If you don't kill me, let's stay."
What are you doing? Brother Bao and Sister Yun, what do you think? She entered the palace under the pretext of dowry. Needless to say, Shihou has already followed King Lu."
Zi Yan was startled and raised her eyes to see Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu walking in from outside shakily, supporting each other. Both of them looked as pale as dead people. Shi Xiangyun clenched his fists angrily, while Baoyu was more frightened.
Qi. Dian said aside: "A few days ago, I heard Bi Yue from Grandma Zhu's house say that Grandma Bao's dowry was much more than our family expected. If it's not complete, it's because of King Lu's handiwork."
Zi Yan lowered her head and said: "From front to back, Grandma's dowry to King Lu is at least half."
Jia Cong snorted coldly: "Think of his luck. Otherwise, I can't let him off lightly for sending exquisite works to our house. In this case, the dowry is his apology to Sister Yun."
With tears in his eyes, Baoyu pointed at Ziyan and hissed: "You...you are actually a craftsman..."
Zi Yan lowered her head further: "Rongguo Mansion is connected to Wang Ziteng to the south, Gao Li to the west, merchants Xue Pan, scholars Su Zheng, and the Emperor's confidant Lin Hai. The three businessmen are famous all over the world, and the second master Bao has recently been
There are also articles that are like banishing immortals."
Jia Cong proudly said to Baoyu, "Did you hear that? This is so straightforward and true. Isn't that how I usually talk to you? I feel comfortable when she talks like this. She is trying to please me. It's obvious that we both have nothing to say."
Never mind." Zi Yan pursed her lips.
Baoyu asked: "Is it possible to spare her life?"
Jia Cong said: "No. I have spent so much time talking to her just to show you two. If you work in their profession, you will die at any time. You will die early and be reincarnated. Besides, she already knows many things in our house."
Baoyu said: "If a weak woman is not forced to do it, how can she do it carefully?"
Jia Cong said: "That's right. If the Japanese pirates hadn't had nothing to eat at home, they wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to come to our country to rob and kill people."
Baoyu immediately lowered his head and was speechless.
Jia Cong looked at Shi Xiangyun again: "What does Sister Yun mean?"
Shi Xiangyun gritted his teeth and said: "No." Baoyu was shocked and remembered that Jia Cong had said before, "Put another trap on Sister Yun." Zi Yan never denied it, so she didn't dare to say anything, but she felt vaguely that she was too harsh.
A little more.
Jia Cong nodded and asked: "Which brother could do me a favor and deal with her?"
Immediately, a young man came up and dragged Zi Yan out. Zi Yan hurriedly shouted: "Third Master! I am willing to join Third Master!"
Jia Cong sneered: "I'm sorry, I don't want any talents."
Zi Yan shouted at the top of her lungs: "Second Master Bao, save me! Second Master Bao, save me!..." Baoyu looked at Jia Cong and then at Xiangyun, not daring to speak.
It's just that the one who dragged her showed no mercy, and there was no sound outside for a while. The young man came in and clasped his fists and said, "It's been dealt with."
Jia Cong patted his shoulder. Then he looked at Jia Baoyu, frowned and said: "Don't look like I bullied you. Now you have been deceived by others, so that our whole family is involved. Next
Let me tell you a secret about this medicine..." He swallowed the words halfway and ignored him, turning to look at Shi Xiangyun, "Sister Yun, if Shi Hou knew that she was dead..."
Shi Xiangyun gritted his teeth with a dark face and said, "I have my own way of dealing with it."
"Okay. Sister, there is no need to be sad. Everyone is their own master. This kind of thing is very common."
At this moment, Jia Baoyu remembered that this detailed work was arranged by the historian's family to be part of Shi Xiangyun's dowry. After she died, Shi Xiangyun was already standing opposite her mother's family, feeling quite fond of her. He then held his wife's hand and said, "You are married now."
You are now a member of the Jia family. Although I am incompetent, I can always protect you."
Shi Xiangyun has been frying in a frying pan since just now. He hates his uncle and aunt for being cruel, and is afraid that he will no longer have support from his family. He is even more afraid of bringing Xizuo into Rongguo Mansion and having Jia Cong arrest him.
Jia Cong stopped. Suddenly hearing this, he cried "Wow". Baoyu half hugged her and patted her back. Seeing this, Jia Cong hurriedly whistled, took the lead and slipped out, starting to join the room.
The brothers inside also slipped away one by one, leaving the two of them alone to talk to each other.
When he got outside, Jia Cong let out a long breath and rubbed his temples again. He stood up and said with a smile: "After this incident, Mr. Bao will probably not be easily fooled by women again."
Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's hard to say."
