Because Qiu Liang's men set out late, they did not find Ding Wangji until sunset. However, this man's head had been chopped off. The King of Shu and others were very familiar with him. The moles on his hands and the birthmark on his back were also obvious.
I recognized him. The person who did it must be the same one who killed the other followers. His swordsmanship was sharp and his kung fu was extremely high. The two framed manuscripts of the King of Shu already made it clear that Ding Wangji and Fang Xiong were in the same group. Fang Xiong's remaining party
There were so many, it was impossible to find out who did it for a while.
Because the prince dug the tunnel entrance and chased him straight to the nunnery outside the city, Qiu Liang did not suspect that there were any mechanisms in the tunnel, so he did not know how many secret rooms there were under the Ding family's house. All the important documents and objects were given away.
Jia Cong and others moved away secretly. Good guy, the officialdom of Shu is very clear, who has a good personal relationship with whom, who is in alliance with whom, and who has relatives and enemies with whom. Such benefits were unexpected for Jia Cong.
Cong was so surprised that he threw it all to Liu Feng. "It feels so good to be a boss!"
When Ding Wangji died, Liu Tie was shocked, and immediately turned to assist Fang Yifei. Fang Yifei just didn't know what to do, and followed Lu Sanzhang's teachings, checking the documents that Lu Sanzhang had obtained for her, appeasing her grandfather's remaining troops, and using Feng Lei to
He tried his best to stabilize morale and personally found out where Fang Yong's body was. Since Fang Yong was a traitor and his head was hung out without catching the remaining party members, Qiu Liang ordered him to deal with it as he pleased. The person working below had some conscience and helped him get it.
He was buried in a thin coffin. Fang Yifei and Liu Tie dug it out while the night was dark and windy, put a good coffin in it, made up for the funeral in the underground hall, and bought another Feng Shui treasure land for burial.
Qiu Liang had no idea! It turned out that on the day Fang Yifei stole the coffin, Lu Sanzhang pretended to be an idle man and coaxed the old soldier guarding the tomb to drink and got him drunk. The old soldier found out the next day that the coffin of the traitor had been dug away.
, I was so frightened that I flew out of my mind! I was afraid that the higher-ups would blame me, so I took the opportunity to fill up the hole with soil while no one knew about it! I just pretended that nothing happened, and the matter was covered up.
Fang Yifei gradually gained the support of all his subordinates and trusted Lu Sanzhang more and more. However, Lu Sanzhang said: "Young master has grasped the hearts of the people now, just stabilize it for two years and then gradually start doing things. Now that Ding Wangji has been eliminated, I will also do it.
Farewell."
Fang Yifei was stunned: "General Lu, don't you want me to go back to the camp?"
Lu Sanzhang said: "Now I have decided to leave. There is a business party in our court recently, headed by 'Hi Claw', the owner of Red Bones, who makes decisions for businessmen."
Fang Yifei, an official lady, frowned and said: "Businessmen are the worst of the four people, cunning and greedy. My grandfather once went to Red Bones to buy firearms, but they didn't sell them!"
Lu Sanzhang smiled and said: "If they sell it, won't Shu Kingdom have to fight a civil war? Red Bones and Jia Cong are in alliance."
Fang Yifei thought for a while and said: "I remember Fang Yong once said that Jia Cong is really a descendant of heaven and man, and he took the Jade Emperor's mission to deal with Westerners."
Lu Sanzhang nodded: "Jia Cong wants to deal with the Westerners, and Red Bones wants to deal with the officials who robbed the merchants' property, so they formed an alliance. Mr. Fang is also a Founder. If he changes his method, he can buy firearms."
Fang Yifei's eyes lit up: "What method?"
"Didn't he raise bandits?" Lu Sanzhang said, "Prince Shui Rong of Beijing also used bandits as his army and went to fight in Nanyang. I can do it if I want."
Fang Yifei smiled bitterly and said: "Our family is full of women and children, and we haven't had the energy in recent years."
"If you help the merchant party, you can be considered one of your own." Lu Sanzhang said, "The merchant party does not help the merchants to fight against each other, but helps the merchants to kill corrupt officials and slaves. It is not just the merchants, but ordinary people as well. Recently, the merchants are also the same.
In the Shu Kingdom, several wealthy slaves and noble family members who robbed people's property have died unexpectedly, all because of the merchant party."
"I see." Fang Yifei nodded slightly, "I've heard of it. I know what the merchant party does."
Lu Sanzhang said: "I have joined the Shang Dang. I discovered Ding Wangji's evil intentions while investigating a case. If I don't care, I think the Fang family and the Shang Dang can cooperate. You have some
, we have guns. Those brothers-in-law and father-in-law who are favored by the king of Shu by virtue of having a sister and daughter, and relying on a few uncles and fellow villagers with big seals to bully the market and plunder, the government may not be able to control, or dare not
Cured."
Fang Yifei's expression changed. He said after a while: "What benefits can we gain?"
Lu Sanzhang said with a smile: "There are a lot of benefits. I will know it if I take a little inventory. If Master Yi Fei only thinks about the men and horses like this, sooner or later, even if the King of Shu is not destroyed, he will have to return the power to Zheng.
Young Master, just look at Young Master Yifei’s abilities in the past few years.”
Fang Yifei turned his head and said: "It's just my grandmother..."
Lu Sanzhang said: "Mrs. Fang is just an old woman, why does she have the final say? Those who help me these days are all foreign men." He tilted his head, "Where can I go to see the old lady if I have nothing to do?
Young Master, as the saying goes, you are not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem. The old lady is just a woman in the backyard, so don’t let her know about these things outside."
Fang Yifei raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Sanzhang. This person had a lot of experience and was determined to find out whether he was a boy or a girl, but he was just pretending to be stupid. After a while, she nodded and said: "That's what General Lu said."
The next day, Lu Sanzhang introduced her to Liu Feng, and the Shang Dang and Fang Xiong's remaining tribe were in serious collusion.
Seeing that it was already winter, Jia Cong and others had to go back to celebrate the New Year, so Liu Feng naturally couldn't leave. Before leaving, Jia Cong told him: "As long as you don't have to sell your appearance, you can do the rest by yourself."
Liu Feng smiled and said: "No need, the young master of the Fang family already wants to be a man for the rest of his life. Besides, if she wants to take a look, she would also like the fifth master."
"Nonsense!" Jia Xu said, "How old am I?" Liu Feng smiled and said nothing. But by chance Lv Sangu came out of the room, and Jia Xu hurriedly went to meet her. Liu Feng and Jia Cong looked at each other and smiled.
As they were about to leave, Qiu Liang and the two eldest sons of the King of Shu came to see them off. Situ Cen said: "Next year I will take a boat from Lingnan to the West, and I will go to your island first."
"Okay~~" Jia Cong said, "There are a lot of new and interesting things on our island. You can learn more about Westerners when you come to visit. By the way, it's best to learn a few Western words before leaving." Situ Cen
Everyone nodded and said goodbye. No one discussed with Zhenming where he was going, so he naturally followed Jia Cong and others.
The official route was fast and furious, and that day we entered Guangzhou City and went straight to the Governor's Palace of Guangdong and Guangxi. Wang Ziteng received a message from Fei Ge and knew that they would come these days, so he went out to greet them with a smile. This old man now has soldiers and money.
Just like a local emperor, life is much more prosperous than before in the capital.
After everyone exchanged a few words and went to the guest house to wash up and change clothes, Jia Cong went to the back to see Mrs. Wang Ziteng. Mrs. Wang Ziteng told him: "Baoyu is in Guangzhou now."
"Huh?" Jia Cong was stunned, "Didn't he study in Jiangnan?"
Mrs. Wang Ziteng said: "He came all the way from Jiangnan and has been here for more than ten days. His uncle asked him to wait until the New Year before leaving."
"Have you ever been to the island?"
"Not yet. I know you are coming and I want you to take me with you."
Jia Cong said "Oh": "I know." He couldn't help but frown slightly. Jia Baoyu was going to Chengtian Mansion and obviously wanted to see Lin Daiyu. I hope he can make progress during the more than half a year of study tour and not cause trouble in a hurry.
Mrs. Wang Ziteng saw it and asked, "Cong'er, is there any inconvenience?"
Jia Cong pursed his lips: "It's no inconvenience. I'm just afraid that Brother Baoyu will cause trouble. He has caused a lot of trouble for our family since he was a child."
Mrs. Wang Ziteng burst into laughter: "That kid Baoyu, it's true that sometimes he just speaks without restraint. Speaking of which..." Her eyes suddenly lit up, "The name of the girl you sent to Tandu Nunnery is Miaoyu..."
"Ah? What's wrong with her?" Jia Cong hurriedly leaned forward slightly. Gong Sanyi still valued her quite a lot. After all, she was a relative of Prince Yi Zhong.
Mrs. Wang Ziteng whispered with excitement: "When Baoyu came to Guangzhou, he visited the ancient sites and made friends with literati. I heard that there was a sister-in-law who led Buddhist monks in Tandu Temple and was very good at cooking tea and writing poems, so I went to look for her."
Jia Cong only felt a pig iron thunder explode on his forehead, and after a while he said: "He...couldn't be that Master Miaoyu...has the same taste..."
Mrs. Wang Ziteng covered her mouth and smiled: "Master Miaoyu never looks good to others, but he is the only one who visits me every day these days. I am so jealous."
Jia Cong suddenly had a look of despair on his face. He wouldn't have played like this... Even the Grand View Garden was gone, and Miaoyu had never entered Jia's house. The two of them could still have tea with half a wall separated! This inertia
It’s not unreasonable anymore. Oh my God, it’s okay to have eaten this cup of tea earlier! Why did it happen at this time? I hope Miaoyu has gone through many rough years in the outside world and experienced the death of three princes and one Beringen. Her temperament
After some vicissitudes of life, he was no longer so naive. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly his mind opened up. He couldn't sit still any longer, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye.
Then he went to find Wang Ziteng and complained: "I have something urgent and want to go to Brother Baoyu."
Wang Ziteng frowned and said, "He went out for a stroll and won't be able to come back for a while? How long did it take you to get in? Go back and have a rest. I'll have someone call him back."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I'll go sit at the waterside pavilion in the back garden for a while. When Brother Baoyu comes, tell him where to find me." Wang Ziteng nodded. Jia Cong only walked a few steps and came back, smiling, "Snacks..."
Wang Ziteng looked at him amusedly: "Can I miss your food? I will send you a waterside pavilion."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!"
Not long after, Jia Baoyu came back as expected. Jia Cong was sitting in the waterside pavilion, eating Guangzhou dim sum from his previous life. From a distance, he saw the male protagonist in this time and space coming along the Jiuqu Bridge. He secretly praised that Skin is really good! After all, the protagonist is finally
He is favored by Mr. Cao. A man with such an appearance is bound to be liked by women no matter where he is in time and space.
Baoyu walked into the water pavilion and shouted happily: "Brother Cong!"
Jia Cong waved his paws like a lucky cat: "Hello, brother Baoyu~~ You haven't tanned yet!"
Baoyu smiled and said: "Mingyan is nosy and always nags me for wearing a hat."
Jia Cong breathed out and said: "We met an old Taoist priest in Chengdu this time. We have invited him here. He is my grandmother's cousin."
Baoyu was about to sit on the chair opposite him when he heard this and stood up happily: "Seriously?!" He respected Taijun Shi the most, and it was as if he had lost his support without the old lady.
"My martial arts skills are superb, beyond our imagination." Jia Cong looked at him and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Baoyu said: "Now that he has been found, let us all be filial and filial to him."
The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched: "I know you are missing this string. Brother Bao Er, have you been having tea and talking poetry with a beautiful sister-in-law recently?"
Baoyu frowned and said, "Have you heard any gossip?"
Jia Cong said: "I know who you are, and I know who Master Miaoyu is. Even with my eyes closed, I know that you two are innocent. But things in the world are not yours to be innocent. She has always been aloof and lonely.
Not only does she not follow others, she doesn't even pay attention to her words, but she is willing to keep you for tea every day, which shows that she is very fond of you. Many people who want to make her look envious and jealous. The death of Mr. Beringen in Hong Kong had already dragged her into gossip.
Now, with you in the mix, I'm even more uneasy." Baoyu opened his mouth to speak, but how could Jia Cong give him a chance? Instead, he gestured, "Listen to me. I know you two are both clean and thorough.
She is a clean-minded person and is too lazy to care about the gossips of these common people. If it were in the past, it would be fine even if she returned to secular life and married you. But now, Sister-in-law Bao Er has an extra uncle in her family! The old man killed more than a dozen tough bandits by himself.
.Really. Instant kill! If he loses his mind for a moment, both of your heads will fall to the ground."
Baoyu stumbled and said: "What does this have to do with your second sister-in-law? Master Miaoyu is a monk, and we are just..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jia Cong stopped him again: "She is a beautiful woman who practices spiritual practice with her hair!"
Baoyu said anxiously: "She is a monk!"
Jia Cong said coolly: "If sister-in-law Baoer had tea and talked poetry with a beautiful young monk every day, would you be happy?"
Baoyu choked.
"Anyway, I just want to remind you. Sister-in-law Bao Er has someone to support her now. You can't afford to offend that person. If he wants to fix you, our family may not be able to protect you." Jia Cong stuffed a shrimp dumpling into his mouth.
He slowly ate it and said, "Of course there is honor in having an affair with a smart and beautiful woman! I also know that you respect Sister-in-law Bao Er more than anything else. If you are born with a sentimental streak, why not divorce her and marry someone else?"
You can't afford our family. When my grandmother asked you to marry her, she probably didn't know that she had a cousin who was very skilled in martial arts and was still alive."
After a long while, Baoyu whispered: "You are right. If Sister Yun eats tea with the young monk every day and talks about poetry, I will feel aggrieved. It will be the same when I look back. If she knew about it, she would also feel uncomfortable.
.”
"Of course - and it's more uncomfortable than being in the same position as you." Jia Cong grabbed a chicken claw and nibbled on it twice. "You respect her more, but she respects you more. Isn't this the case with feelings? Who can
Whoever likes it more loses. Why do you miss Sister Lin, and why does Sister Yun miss you."
Jia Baoyu lowered his head and sighed: "I know what you mean. Later I will order someone to send a message to Master Miaoyu and I will not disturb her practice anymore."
"Huh?" Jia Cong couldn't help but put down the chicken feet in his hand. He thought it would take the boss's effort, but why did he understand? Is this person still Jia Baoyu? "Hey, do you really understand? That...I know
You are still a bit romantic by nature, and now it is only Uncle Shi who is in trouble. If you really don't like Sister Yun, marrying another one will be a problem. Even if they divorce, her identity, temperament, appearance, and marrying a good family will be no problem.
We have the support of our family. It’s a coincidence that you don’t have children yet.”
Baoyu said with emotion: "What you are saying is that if you can't marry someone I like, it's not bad to marry someone who likes me. Now that we are married, it's better to live peacefully. Now that our ancestors are gone, she has brothers here, so we should be filial.
.”
Jia Cong sat across the table and looked at him for a long time, then nodded and said: "This is the easiest way." (..)
