The day before Princess Jian'an and Jia Huan got married, the big shopkeeper of Yinfengju spent a lot of effort to lure Zhao Cheng and the prince's people to Rongguo Mansion, and they made a lot of trouble in the middle of the night; the day after the two got married, the big shopkeeper dumped them in the morning. The policeman who was following him disappeared without knowing where he was. He died in an extremely strange manner in the afternoon, and it was obvious that he had been silenced.
Feng Ziying didn't pay much attention to this matter at first. On the day the two got married, he went to have a drink and watch the ceremony, and was busy with other things the next day. He didn't find out until the third day. He suddenly felt that the matter was bigger than he thought, and sent someone to Lychee Lane. Check. It turned out that the sneaky old woman was a sex drug seller. A wife who worked in the kitchen asked her to come over to look at the goods. The two only bargained secretly at the back door for half a day to make a deal. The old woman got the money and left. , and never walked half a step inside. It can be seen that this old woman is completely bluffing, in order to make Zhao Cheng suspicious of Princess Jian'an's dowry.
Feng Ziying thought about the matter from the beginning. Could it be that the five-city soldiers and horses surrounding Rongguo Mansion at night were different from what the other party originally thought? He couldn't help but stand up. That's right. If it weren't for Zhao Cheng and the others secretly looking for Jia Cong until midnight , Jia Cong did not dare to get involved with the prince, so he dug himself out of bed overnight. This matter was probably going to cause a big fuss. Once Jia Zheng was alerted, probably the whole capital would know, and the other party might not have any back-up plans. According to the Based on his past experience, the more confused he was about the trap, the more unusual it was. After all, Feng Ziying was not Zhao Cheng, so he immediately led people to the door. The store was sealed, and the store clerk, accountant, and others were captured and brought back for interrogation.
I just briefly asked these people, but before I could use any means, someone came to my door. It was Liu Fang, the grandson of Li Guogong Liu Biao and the first-class son of Li Guo. Feng Ziying was shocked. He had always thought that Liu Fang was the He was a person like Jia Lian. Could it be that he had coaxed her into going there all these years? The two of them were familiar with each other, so Feng Ziying went out to greet him in person.
Liu Fang sat down and took a sip of tea. The first thing she said was: "Yinfengju is the property of another branch of our Liu family." Feng Ziying frowned. Liu Fang said helplessly, "I only know this. My grandfather said , just tell you this."
Feng Ziying asked: "Which is the other branch of your Liu family?"
Liu Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know? The prince must know." Feng Ziying narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a long time. Liu Fang said, "My grandfather only said these two words when he sent me here. Now. I don't even know if there is another branch of the Liu family."
Feng Ziying originally didn't want to bring Yinfengju to King Yan. The prince wanted to seize the people's property. Someone in the Feng family helped the prince to seize the people's property. The person in the Feng family who helped the prince to steal the people's property also suspected that the King of Yan had stolen Selling things in the palace. None of this was something he wanted King Yan to know. Now seeing that this matter was hidden, Feng Ziying did not dare to delay and immediately went to Prince Yan's Mansion with Liu Fang.
When she met Situ Pan, Liu Fang said before Feng Ziying could say anything: "Your Majesty, you really don't know anything even if you are born late."
Situ Pan smiled and said, "You don't know what?"
Liu Fang said: "Just now Wan Sheng's grandfather called Wan Sheng over and told Mr. Feng just one thing, 'Yinfeng Residence is the property of another branch of our Liu family.'" Situ Pan's eyes moved. Liu Fang was immediately relieved, and it was obvious that he He knew it. "The last sentence he said was, King Yan knows."
Situ Pan asked Feng Ziying: "What kind of shop is Yinfengju?"
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and said: "It's true that my subordinates took it lightly." She didn't dare to hide it and told the matter from the beginning. "Because the boy Huan'er got married the day before yesterday, I was busy with other things yesterday, so I didn't take care of this.
.It’s only now that I learned that the shopkeeper was silenced yesterday afternoon. Just now, the people from the shop were taken to the Yamen. Before I could interrogate him, Brother Liu came."
Situ Pan thought for a moment and asked: "In your opinion, what does the dowry of Yinfengju shopkeeper Nao Nang Jian'an do?"
Feng Ziying said: "I don't know. If their shop is serious about reselling palace belongings, even coaxing Mr. Zhao to go to Rongguo Mansion will be useless."
Situ Pan asked: "Why did he die again?"
Feng Ziying lowered her head: "The humble minister is incompetent."
Situ Pan snorted: "Why are you only talking about Zhao Cheng? Aren't there others following you?"
Feng Ziying bowed her head even more: "The humble minister's cousin is blind and ignorant..."
"That cousin of yours is just doing things for others." Situ Pan said calmly, "Yinfengju is a huge antique shop, and it has been open for several years, but no one has made any plans. The boss usually has only a mediocre interest in business. Why?
Suddenly wanted to buy that shop? It was the eve of Jia Huan and Jian'an's wedding when the incident occurred, and the dispute caused a big incident. I didn't expect Cong'er to stay out of trouble, so I didn't start the incident. Only two days later, the shopkeeper died. This matter
They wanted to make a fuss, but they couldn't. The lonely king didn't know which side they were planning. They wanted to let the lonely king know that the boss was seizing the people's property and couldn't restrain the people below, or they wanted to get rid of the Liu family's branch.
Make a fuss." Nai looked back at Liu Fang, "You don't know anything?"
Liu Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Only those who are born late will know that there is another one in our family."
Situ Pan said: "It's no wonder you don't know. Not many people in the whole country know." These words shocked Liu Fang and Feng Ziying and changed their expressions. "What's going on with reselling the things in the palace? That one has to go to the lonely king."
An explanation.”
Liu Fang lowered her head and said "yes", then resigned first. Feng Ziying asked: "Is there still a trial?"
Situ Pan said: "We have all been arrested, why not try them?" Feng Ziying also said "yes" and did not dare to ask more questions. Just as he was about to go down, Situ Pan said again, "Don't use severe punishment for the time being." Feng Ziying agreed in her mouth, but in her heart
Complaining - those people are not ordinary bookkeepers, so how can you tell if they don't want to be punished? Fortunately, he said "for the time being".
On the other side, Jia Cong ran to Shi Li and asked: "Hey, what's your plan? Tell me quickly. I still have the Empress Dowager to take care of. After I finish taking care of it, I'll go back to the south."
Shi Li glanced at him: "Can you go and do Miss Su's business first?"
"No." Jia Cong said, "A woman who has been in the palace for too long may be mentally ill. She still has countless masters in her hands. She is like a landmine that will explode at any time."
"Come on, don't you want to vent your anger on Mr. Su?" Shi Li said.
"It's good to know."
Shi Li sighed slightly: "You all know that she is mentally ill, why don't you wait a little longer and let her seek death? I guarantee that she will live an extremely uncomfortable life, how about that?"
Jia Cong looked at him sideways: "What do you want to do with these dramas? Confess quickly. I don't believe it is just to plant a spy for Yinfengju."
"More than just a spy." Shi Li shook his head triumphantly: "I don't know, let's go and see. Anyway, this shop will never be in the hands of the prince." Jia Cong circled around him to spy for half a day, and he
He just refused to say anything. When pressed, he only said a few words, "The Empress Dowager and the Liguo Mansion are not colluding. Besides, if Yinfengju could be taken away easily, it would have been taken away long ago." It would be better to say it.
If you don't say it, Jia Cong's head will be dizzy.
A few days later, Jia Huan and his wife went on their honeymoon trip. Jia Cong took Jia Jue to play in Lixiangyuan. While he was making the child happy, the door knocker on the street rang. The boy ran to open the door and said it was there.
Mr. Liu came to visit. When Jia Cong heard the word "Liu", he felt very happy. Someone from the mysterious Liu family had appeared! He hugged Jia Jue and said, "Brother has a guest. How about Jue'er having fun by himself?"
Jia Jue pouted and acted coquettishly, refusing to obey. Lin Luan coaxed him a few words and accepted the offer.
Jia Cong stepped out to meet Mr. Liu, walked over and cupped his hands, asking him to sit in the study. This man was an old man, over sixty years old, with a strong body but no energy, and a sad look on his eyebrows. After the two sat down, Jia Cong cupped his hands first.
: "According to your seniority, should I call you uncle?"
Mr. Liu asked: "Do you recognize me?"
Jia Cong said: "It looks a bit like a willow swan."
Mr. Liu's eyes suddenly turned bright: "Hu'er will not be rebellious."
Jia Cong shrugged: "Oh."
Mr. Liu was silent for a moment and asked, "What's the matter with him?"
Jia Cong said honestly: "I heard that Zhou Xiaolan was a little greedy after becoming the head of the country."
"He's not that kind of person."
Jia Cong spread his hands: "Then I don't know. He should still be somewhere in the Malay Archipelago at this moment. If you don't believe it, go find him and ask."
Mr. Liu smiled bitterly for a moment and said, "Why doesn't King Yan doubt you?"
"If he doubts me, he will ask me."
Mr. Liu was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "May I ask, who is Liu Xianglian?"
Jia Cong was startled and said, "Are you thinking too much? His surname happens to be Liu, and we were in the same family five hundred years ago. Really, please look at my sincere eyes. In fact, you can check it out."
Mr. Liu shook his head and was silent for a long time. Jia Cong stayed with him for half a day, holding his cheek, and couldn't help but said: "Why are you always worried? Liu Hu is so capable, will he not be as good as Zhou Xiaolan? In a few years, he will win
Jiang Shanlai has ascended the throne. Wouldn't it be better for you to be the Supreme Emperor?"
Mr. Liu stopped shouting: "Nonsense! My Liu family is loyal!"
Jia Cong pursed his lips: "Does the Empress Dowager not trust you very much? Because Liu Hu wanted to be free, she must have overthrown your family."
Mr. Liu shook his head again. He was silent for a long time before he said: "I really can't find anyone to give me advice here. I beg Mr. Jia, for the sake of someone in our family helping you to go to the West to work, please help me think of a way to get rid of Tai."
It’s better for the Empress Dowager to be suspicious.”
It's strange that Jia Cong believed him! He blinked cutely: "At least you have to tell me your background. I heard from my uncle that Liu Xinxin was the first to teach Ouchi guards, and I don't know anything else."
"That's true."
Jia Cong waited for a long time, but he didn't say anything. He twitched his lips and said, "Okay. That means that your family has been loyal and loyal for generations, living and dying for the inner court. Now there is only one Liu Hu, the emperor.
The Queen Mother feels that your whole family is disloyal. Therefore, I have only one suggestion now. Mr. Liu may wish to refer to it." He whispered, "Switch to the Little Sage."
Mr. Liu said: "Adou cannot be helped."
Jia Cong said: "Then choose another one. I can help you eliminate King Chen, but Adou is also unaffordable. By the way, you can also exclude King Lu, who has no ambition. You can look at the others."
Mr. Liu looked at him and asked: "According to my nephew, who among the kings is the most qualified to be a leader?"
Jia Cong said: "I haven't finished reading it yet. Among the things I have read, the previous generation was King Yan, and the next generation was the Crown Prince of Shu. By the way, what is more rare for the Crown Prince of Shu than others is that his younger brother is the elder of the King of Shu's family.
Third, he is intelligent and does not want to play musical chairs with his brother at all. He just visited Taiwan before I returned to Beijing and is currently studying in the West. If nothing else, he will help Shu open up the world.
The door to the new world."
"How do you say this?"
Jia Cong winked: "There are some things that I can't explain with just my mouth. The Third Prince of Shu will find that the colonial system is very interesting when he goes to the West for a walk. As a prince, he is born to understand this.
Interested. The Kingdom of Shu has the King of Shu who is good at martial arts but not rigid, the prince is wise and cunning, and the third child has a pioneering spirit. It is likely that the Kingdom of Yan will surpass the Kingdom of Wu and become the strongest vassal state in our dynasty in the near future. On the contrary, the King of Yan
..." He sighed, "I know his son, a prince, and a dead second son. I heard that the third son is also restless. Among these, there is really no one who can compare to the king of Shu.
Two sons. But he also has three younger sons, and I don’t know what the future will be like.”
Mr. Liu looked at his son and asked curiously: "From what you said, you are already optimistic about the Kingdom of Shu. Aren't you ready to join them?"
Jia Cong said: "But the King of Yan is stronger than the King of Shu. Besides, King Yan treated me well when I was young. If his son was really incompetent, I would not switch to Shu."
Mr. Liu nodded slowly many times and asked again: "Where is Chu State?"
Jia Cong spread his hands: "I don't know. From the current point of view, it is far worse than Wu State."
Mr. Liu let out a long breath and said: "In this case, it is difficult to tell the right one for the moment. Our family does not have to follow the Empress Dowager, but she is the only one who is the legitimate one at the moment."
Jia Cong faked a smile and said: "According to this, Princess Yazhi in Lingnan is the orthodox one. They are all named Situ. Whoever has the ability will get the job. The country is a very important task. If it really falls into the hands of King Chen and King Lu
They can't afford it either."
Mr. Liu was silent again. After a while, he suddenly asked: "What is the identity of Liu Xianglian's wife?"
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Don't stare at these two, they are just ordinary people."
"She gave Princess Jianan a lot of dowry, did you know?"
"Of course I know!" Jia Cong said casually, "My second sister-in-law Lian made all the orders."
Mr. Liu was shocked: "Those are gifts from your family?!"
"Otherwise, whose family do you think it was given to?" Jia Cong asked inexplicably, "It was given by the Liu family? Eight poles can't hit even one spot, so why give her a dowry?"
Mr. Liu stared at him and said, "Why did I hear that it was sent by Prince Yi Zhong Yubu?"
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Uncle Liu, you are stupid! Who killed Prince Yi Zhong? Who hunted down the remaining thousands of lives of Prince Yi Zhong? Besides, how much is Princess Yazhi's dowry?
It’s not enough for Huan Third Sister-in-law for a fraction.”
Mr. Liu shouted: "I said so too, but the Empress Dowager just refused to believe it."
"Don't reason with women who have lived in the palace for a long time." Jia Cong said kindly, "The walls of the palace have trapped them stupidly."
Mr. Liu sighed again and said: "We have a house in our family, but it was taken away by a eunuch from His Highness the Third Prince of Yan two days ago. I wonder if Mr. Jia can help us get it back."
Jia Cong asked curiously: "Your family doesn't even have such skills? You let a eunuch rob the house and leave?"
Mr. Liu smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to explain in one sentence. It's inconvenient for us to come forward in this matter, and it's inconvenient to disturb Mr. Feng. Zhao Cheng, a rat like that, won't dare to take care of it."
Jia Cong touched the back of his head: "There is someone under the crown prince who wants to help him seize an antique shop. Do you know?"
Mr. Liu nodded calmly: "I heard about it."
"Since it is inconvenient for me to come forward, I will try to bring these two things to King Yan." Jia Cong said, "The third son saw that he only lost one house, and it belonged to the eunuch, but the prince had to lose a big antique shop.
! Absolutely a bargain. He will definitely be happy to return the house, and then force the prince to return the shop to him."
Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment: "This idea... is not a bad idea." But it was hard to avoid hearing it. It was all taken away or wanted to be taken away by them, so how did it become theirs? (.. )
