Everyone has their own talents. Reading at Zero Point Gao Ying, the eldest son of Gao Li, the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture, was very good at interrogation. Gao Li knew about it but did not pay attention to it. However, he never thought that Gao Ying interrogated Oriole so quickly and could be completed in one night.
Oriole has nothing to do with the Bai family in Lingnan. Just as Jia Cong casually said, Oriole and Ziyan are the same child. This girl was sent to the Gao family by King Lu. She was ordered to be favored by the passionate Erye Gao, even if she did not give birth to a son.
It is also necessary to raise a son for future generations. Killing Aunt Zhou and framing the second mistress Gu's family were all her own methods.
There was nothing going on with the Jia family, but Jia Cong came to see his sister a few days ago. Oriole got a new emergency that day, so she immediately waited for an opportunity to win Jia Cong's favor. It happened that she had just planned to hurt Aunt Zhou early in the morning.
She fell and gave birth prematurely. She was a close-knit girl and couldn't even find an excuse to go to the third master's yard. She casually said that she was going to see Jia Cong, who had nothing to do with her master. The orders from above were urgent, and she thought briefly.
, I thought of an excuse to seek help from the imperial doctor. I never dreamed that Jia Cong would accuse her of being a craftsman on the spot! Oriole was so frightened that she didn't even return to the yard and rushed to ask Zhao Tu for help.
Zhao Tu was just a casual move played by Huang Oriole unintentionally, and she was beaten to death. Not only did he not dislike her for hooking up with Mr. Jia, he also gave her advice and even helped her to cover up her lies. It was unintentional.
The person who passed the order to her was actually a Mr. Li who taught at the Gao Family School! Gao Ying immediately ordered someone to arrest him overnight, but it was still a step too late. Mr. Li was poisoned to death in his apartment. After dawn, he was examined and the poison was found.
The medicine was ordinary arsenic and frost, which was dropped into the tea that Mr. Li had in the evening. Mr. Li was a failed scholar and lived alone in a secluded courtyard in the back street of Gaofu. He usually only interacted with a few scholars. Although the yamen found a few
Mr. Li's friends went to question him, but it was difficult to find the suspect for a while.
Gao Mang heard about this and rushed back to report it to his wife and brother-in-law in detail. Just after he finished speaking, he happened to catch up with the child and kicked Yingchun in the stomach, and the three of them happily gathered around the stomach for a while before thinking about the business.
After thinking for a moment, Jia Cong first said: "Let's push it back. Not long ago, King Lu's move in our house failed. Later, when they wanted to find out the reason, my special envoy showed him some messy things. Even if he was not frightened, he would have been confused.
. Therefore, it is unlikely that they are here to tease me right now. The urgent order that Oriole received to test me was 90% made by Mr. Li himself, not King Lu."
Gao Mang said: "King Lu couldn't have expected you to come to Ping'an Prefecture at this time."
Jia Cong said: "Zhao Tu is probably from the Bai family. Because Oriole seduced him, he paid special attention to Oriole. How can Oriole's ability be as good as his? He also noticed that Mr. Li and Oriole have an unusual relationship. Following him
With his literary talents, it was extremely easy for him to hook up with Mr. Li, a scholar in trouble, as a scholar. He could coax even his cousin, so it would not be difficult to coax Mr. Li. Since Mr. Li was Oriole's boss, he had greater authority, so he roped in Zhao Tu to join the team.
Come to think of it, it was his idea to hurriedly force Oriole to seduce me, and Mr. Li accepted it. My sister and brother-in-law also thought that Aunt Zhou had gone into premature labor, and they forced her girl to seduce me. In addition to calling the imperial doctor, Oriole
Could a maid have any other ideas? She said she had a flash of inspiration, but in fact this was the easiest excuse to think of. It was Zhao Tu who had a flash of inspiration and wanted to use Aunt Zhou's difficult childbirth to sow the seeds of the disagreement between our two families. Absolutely not
Thinking that there is such a person as Jia Cong in the world! As a guest, he said to the host, "That girl of yours may be a spy"! Mr. Zhao came from a wealthy family, and he never thought that Rong, who was also from a wealthy family,
The national government can also produce someone as stupid as Jia Cong."
Yingchun and Gao Mang all laughed. Yingchun said: "This stupid young lady is quite talented in poetry and literature." As soon as she finished speaking, the child in her belly kicked her again. Yingchun shouted, "The child agrees too!" The three of them said.
The whole crowd burst into laughter.
After laughing for a long time, Jia Cong continued: "Because I became suspicious of Oriole, Zhao Tu hurriedly ran to find his eldest cousin to smooth things over for her. Who knew we were still willing to give up, so he had to coax his eldest cousin and arrange it.
It is a beautiful and romantic love story. It only tells the story of falling in love and begging my cousin to save Oriole. If he also takes into account his cousin's temper, he can also plant the seeds of the father-son disagreement between his cousin and his second cousin.
.It’s a pity that God’s calculations are not as good as those of others. In the end, Oriole still asked his eldest cousin to take him for interrogation. Zhao Tu was afraid that he might have caught the chance and killed Mr. Li first. Mr. Li was a meticulous worker and must be cautious in his actions and would not leave anything behind.
If the clues are given to the Gao family, the connection between him and Mr. Li will be gone."
Gao Mang nodded: "That's about it."
Jia Cong said: "Just pay back the rest. I really don't understand why Zhao Tu didn't kill Oriole. What's the use of a waste? Even if it is useful, it is useful to King Lu. Zhao Tu can only use her to get some news from the backyard."
, it’s not difficult for him to get that information, he just needs to hook up with a maid again.”
Yingchun smiled and said: "How can it be useless? Oriole is of great use, more useful than Mr. Li."
Gao Mang asked: "What is the third grandma's advice?"
Yingchun glanced at the two of them and asked for tea from Gao Mang. Gao Mang hurriedly brought it over. Yingchun drank the tea and handed the tea cup to Gao Mang to hold. Fang slowly said: "Lingnan is the territory of Wang Ziteng."
The Bai family had neither territory nor many soldiers, only a gold-collecting port; the port was given to them by the Jia family. Zhao Tu was talented but of low status. He fell in love with the female spy of King Lu and followed Oriole.
He could be reused after returning to the State of Lu. In the State of Lu, King Lu had never been in power. The person in power was Liu Tong, the commander of the Shandong capital, and there were also internal struggles in Liu Tong's camp. Chaos was the easiest for outsiders to succeed, so Zhao Tu relied on his talents
It is not difficult to climb higher and higher. He also has an obvious weakness - being obsessed with women. Shandong has produced beauties since ancient times, and he is not afraid that no one will win over him. It would be easy to replace Oriole and marry Liu Tong's niece or King Lu's cousin
"When the time comes for King Lu to break up with Liu Tong, it would be better to lead Lingnan troops into Qingzhou." She reached out for tea again, Shiran took a sip and held it in her hand, "What the Bai family wants is the Kingdom of Lu."
Gao Mang and Jia Cong looked at each other and applauded in unison. Jia Cong smiled and said: "My sister is far-sighted, and my little brother is convinced!" She smiled brightly in the new year.
Jia Cong frowned again and said: "It's just that my cousin trusts him very much. If he exposes him, I'm afraid it will make the old man feel depressed and uncomfortable. Let's find some way to avoid it."
Gao Mang thought for a while and said: "I just thought, let's not expose him at all. It would be good if we open canals to divert water."
Jia Cong asked: "What does it mean to open canals to divert water?"
"I just don't know." Gao Mang said, "Since Zhao Tu is determined to follow Oriole to the Lu Kingdom, and Oriole's identity as a spy has been revealed, let him go. He is fascinated by women, and it is in vain that my father loves talents.
My father's attitude toward him will gradually cool down, and so will Mr. Zhao's. I'm afraid he won't leave."
Yingchun said: "He will definitely leave. For the Bai family, seizing land in Shandong is more important than stealing news about Ping'an Prefecture. Leaving a person like Mr. Zhao to waste time in Ping'an Prefecture is a bit humiliating. Just like a chess game.
, if you want to give it up, give it up.”
Jia Cong said: "What if he deceives his cousin and says that he is going to help his cousin acquire Shandong?"
Gao Mang said: "What is the use of Shandong to my father? I am afraid that he is too glib. I will have a deep talk with my father later on through the Oriole incident, and tell him not to take revenge on King Lu for the time being, so as to completely calm his mind.
Anyway, Zhao Tu wants to leave my Ping'an Prefecture, and the only excuse is that he is seduced by women."
Jia Cong winked and said: "When we find out his true identity, we will try to throw some clues to my cousin and let him get suspicious and figure it out on his own. Even though he will still be unhappy because he saw the wrong person,
Since the old man has corrected his mistakes by himself and has not caused any great losses, I will feel better."
Gao Mang praised: "Don't say Cong'er is stupid, sometimes he thinks more carefully than others."
Jia Cong said proudly: "This is called putting people first."
Yingchun said angrily: "Come on, come on! There are many people who praise him. Third Master, please stop supporting him. Tomorrow, you will become even less aware of the heaven and earth." Jia Cong made a face.
Gao Mang smiled even more: "She is really like an elder sister like a mother."
The three of them laughed again and discussed Gao Mang's words to persuade Gao Li later. Yingchun said: "Zhao Tu acted prudently. Now that he knows that Oriole's identity has been exposed, he will not rush to apologize to the master for excuses, otherwise he will not
It's too late. Third Master, let's go now and get ahead of him." Gao Mang nodded, clarified their thoughts with Jia Cong, got up and walked out of the yard, heading straight to Gao Liwai's study.
Seeing him leaving, Jia Cong turned to Yingchun and whispered: "This Mr. Zhao rarely interacted with the three cousins in the past, but later he secretly got close to his brother-in-law. This shows that in his eyes, the brother-in-law is better than those two."
Yingchun smiled and whispered to him: "That's your sister who came up with some good ideas for your brother-in-law." Jia Cong smiled mischievously and gave a thumbs up to his sister. Yingchun felt more and more happy.
On the other side, Gao Li was feeling depressed at the moment. One side resented King Lu for burying his secret work in his house, and the other side was worried that Zhao Tu had fallen under the charm of Oriole. When he heard the person below calling "Mang San Ye", he was coming.
He felt better. Although Gao Mang was not very good at talking, he had made a lot of progress in the past two years since he got married, and his ideas were actually clearer than his brother's. The third child's family was really blessed.
Gao Mang came forward and bowed, and Gao Li asked, "How is your wife?"
Gao Mang said with a smile: "Very good, Cong'er is guarding him. Just now the child kicked his mother several times, and he was more lively than usual. Fortunately, Cong'er has only come here these days. He came early and it seems that he has been going to the third grandma every day.
If the commotion around me makes the child behave like his uncle, I'm afraid I'll have to worry a lot."
Gao Li said with a smile: "You were just like a monkey when you were a child. Don't blame it on others." Then he asked him why he came here.
Gao Mang said: "Because I think of the Oriole incident, I'm afraid I want to take revenge on King Lu."
Gao Li snorted: "He sent a spy into my house, how could I not take revenge?"
Gao Mang said: "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now is not the time for me, Ping'an Prefecture, to take the lead in going to war with the prince surnamed Situ. We are all generals in the house, so we turned around and forced Cong'er to come up with a strange and bad idea to take revenge for the time being.
Come on."
Gao Li was dumbfounded: "What kind of strange and bad idea?"
Gao Mang smiled and said: "I will order him to go to the capital later. The kings are still in the capital, and King Lu is also there. When he wants to come out, he will immediately send a message to the capital and let Huan'er handle it."
Gao Li said: "I don't know whether this matter was King Lu's idea or Liu Tong's."
Gao Mang said: "If it were Liu Tong, there would be no need to worry. Cong'er hates Liu Tong so much that her teeth itch, and she will have to take revenge on him sooner or later."
Gao Liqi asked: "Have Liu Tong ever provoked him?"
Gao Mang clapped his hands and said: "Dad, have you forgotten? Liu Tong took his two gentlemen to jail and suffered a lot, and almost lost their lives. This kid is petty, so he keeps remembering it. It's just not for the sake of the overall situation."
If you touch him, you will one day borrow the help of King Qi to deal with him."
Gao Li said: "How come you borrowed the hand of King Qi?"
Gao Mang said with a smile: "This is what your third daughter-in-law calculated. Cong'er has an impatient temper, and when he can endure it, he will not be able to bear it immediately. The position of Pianlu State is very important to both Master Gao of Ping'an Prefecture and the King of Lingnan."
It’s useless, there is no need to seek their territory or neighboring properties. Qi is a big country, the king of Qi has strong soldiers and horses, strong financial resources, and is close to Lu.”
Gao Li thought: "Since Lu is far away from Ping'an Prefecture, why bother with me?"
Gao Mang said: "What did they do to offend you? It's just that I stuffed a female spy into the second brother's backyard. Didn't you listen to what Oriole said? It's for future use. There are two commercial streets in Ping'an Prefecture, and the money is always real.
"
Gao Li snorted: "Liu Tong, a great military general, only knows a few tricks in the backyard, which is ridiculous."
Gao Mang was startled, and suddenly grabbed Gao Li's hand: "Dad!"
Gao Li glanced at him: "What to do?"
"What did you just say?"
Gao Li said: "It is ridiculous to say that Liu Tong, a great military general, can only use such small tricks."
Gao Mang shook his head: "That's not it. Dad missed the most important thing."
"Um?"
Gao Mang thought about it and said slowly: "Liu Tong is a great military general who only knows backyard methods. Liu Tong is a military general, how can he only know backyard methods? How can Liu Tong, a military general, think of backyard methods? Backyard methods should be regarded as
What women are thinking, could it be that a woman is now in power in the State of Lu?"
Gao Li thought for a while and nodded: "You may not be in power, but you can at least speak for yourself. Later, we will also send a spy to find out. Manger, you have made more progress since you got married." Gao Mang smiled shyly.
.
The two men said something else, and Gao Mang left.
It was not until the afternoon that Zhao Tu went into the house to see Gao Li. They talked for a while in the study, but they didn't know what they said. None of the three Gao brothers went to find out. Gao Li ordered the oriole to be given to Zhao Tu, and said: "Since
Her family members are all being held hostage in the State of Lu. We will find a way to rescue her in the future." Zhao Tu bowed to express his thanks.
Gao Mang also asked his confidants to hire a capable painter, pretending that his girl was ugly and fell in love with Mr. Xiao Zhao. She was madly in love with him, so he spent more money to trouble him to secretly paint a portrait for Mr. Xiao Zhao. For the sake of the girl's reputation, he begged
The painter must keep the secret secret. The painter believed it, secretly took a peek at Zhao Tu's appearance, and successfully painted it for him.
Jia Cong sent the portrait and secret letter back to the capital to Gong Kun on flying horses. Another flying pigeon sent a letter to Jia Xu, telling him that there must be a woman among the leaders of Lu State. Because he suddenly remembered that they had been there in the past.
He once deduced that there must be someone who could speak to Liu Tong who was under Situ Pan, so he also wrote it down.
A few days later, Zhao Tu wanted to marry Oriole, but his father and uncle refused to agree. However, the female relatives in his family all liked Oriole and tried to persuade her. After Gao Mang heard the news, he ordered someone to quietly reveal Oriole's identity and that he had been ordered to seduce Gao.
Hua Jia Cong leaked everything to Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law. This woman is a talkative woman, how can she eavesdrop on such a big news? In just half a day, all the female members of the Zhao family knew about it, and by night, all the men also knew about it.
Now. If Zhao Tu wants to marry Oriole, there is no way.
The eldest sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law who came in and out all sneered at the Oriole, and the more evil-tempered ones even scolded her, and some even beat her. Oriole suffered a lot of injustice in just a few days, crying day and night, and was scolded by Zhao Tu's mother for being "an idiot."
You are a dead howling ghost, just hoping to defeat the Zhao family's luck so that you can return to the state of Lu to repay your master!" As if he had eaten a belly full of yellow lotus gall, he secretly found a place to hang himself from a beam when no one was around!
Fortunately, there were less things going on in Zhao Tu's shop that day, so he returned to Huizi's house early, and the general rescued her. The two of them cried in each other's arms in the house.
The hen he raised cursed loudly and uttered obscenities so loudly that it drowned out the cries of the two of them.
Finally, one day, Zhao Tu quietly packed up a few pieces of luggage, left a note saying, "It is hard to violate my wife's affection for your kindness," and left.
Gao Mangde retaliated, stroking his palms and smiling: "What a god of plague, you can consider sending him away!"
