It is said that Jia Cong and others let Xiao Qi of the Liu family go. After waiting for seven or eight days, there was nothing else except that the Liguo Mansion no longer harassed Yihongyuan. Situ Pan's people were busy these days.
Jia Cong was lazy in the morning every day, so in the afternoon he went to Prince Yan's Mansion to help with advice or went to the imperial hospital to see the imperial doctors experimenting with vaccinia. Shi Li was living in Lixiangyuan recently, and went out to do his work during the day, and went back to Lixiangyuan for dinner.
When Jia Cong came back that day, Shi Li slumped on a wicker chair and said lazily: "Didn't I say that Old Man Liu would come? How many days have we been waiting."
Jia Cong slumped across from him: "Think about it~~ Their family has been trapped inside for several lifetimes. Even if they knew the news from outside and went on a mission outside, it is completely different from living outside with the whole family.
He would be a little at a loss as to what to do. Others could just rely on him. He was the backbone of the family. He himself could only discuss it with the Liguo Mansion, and the Liguo Mansion could only discuss it with Liu Biao. It was a big deal for Gao to hook up with the young widow.
The Liu family obviously doesn't know. Now if they are suspicious of the Liguo Mansion, they have to find someone else to discuss it. As for us, we have a good impression of their family but not the Liguo Mansion. Sister Chen is also the descendant of Liu Xinxin, which is invisible.
Zhong has become the second choice after Li Guoguo."
Shi Li said: "Why don't you come? I have a lot of things to do in the evening."
"We don't have enough manpower to add a few more," Jia Cong said, "I'd be stupid if I were tired."
"I like."
"I wish you a happy struggle." Jia Cong shrugged, stood up and went into the house to change clothes.
After dinner, we rested for a while. The three of them lit up a big ram's horn lantern and played a landlord match in the yard. The loser put a note on his face. Seeing that it was almost the second watch, he heard a gentle knock on the door outside, and a boy came out.
When he opened the door, Mr. Liu was indeed here. Jia Cong looked at Shi Li proudly, stood up and stepped forward to greet him.
Mr. Liu was stunned when he saw Jia Cong. The boy reminded him in a low voice: "Third Master! On your face..."
Jia Cong suddenly remembered that there was still a note on his face, he hurriedly pulled it off and said with a smile: "I was playing just now, hey, don't mind." Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile. Jia Cong asked, "Mr.
Sit in this courtyard or go inside?"
Mr. Liu thought for a moment and said: "Let's stay in the courtyard, it will be cooler." Jia Cong nodded and ordered his servants to bring in a small table and chairs. Chen Ruijin and Shi Li both came forward to see the ceremony. Mr. Liu looked at Shi Li a few times, but he didn't
Asked where he was coming from, he and Jia Cong sat face to face.
After taking a sip of tea, Jia Cong asked: "But is it because the Liguo Mansion wants to take advantage of Yinfengju?"
Mr. Liu smiled bitterly and said: "After much deliberation, there is no one to discuss with. As the saying goes, the beholder is clear. Mr. Jia is an outsider, so he knows better. Now Mr. Li Guo said that Mr. Gao did not know about the widow of the Wang family and Yin Fengju.
There is a connection, and the palace also said that they have nothing to do with Mr. Gao's disappearance."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Do you believe it?"
Mr. Liu said: "It doesn't look like a lie. Besides, what is Liguo Mansion doing with Yinfengju?"
Jia Cong said: "Investigation! You see, Duke Li also knows that his children and grandchildren are useless, and there is nothing he can do about them. Fortunately, your family is here. In the past, all the power in the world was in the hands of saints. Which one of yours is the most powerful in the world?"
Stay inside. If the emperor wants to move the country, he has to worry about you. Now that you are out of the palace, it will be more beneficial to them. Come and go often. It doesn't matter whether you are in the palace or not. You must try to find out the details of your family. He
It would also be nice to know how you can help their family."
Mr. Liu frowned: "How can I help their family?"
"For example, how much money does your family have? In the future, the government will not be able to make ends meet. How much will I borrow from you? Will you agree?" Jia Cong blinked, "In addition to money, there are people. How much will you be willing to help them? How much will you be willing to help them?
It’s a big help, wouldn’t it be a pity to let it go to waste?” Nai smiled and said, “It’s such a big piece of fat, I have to weigh how much it weighs and how much I can eat.”
Mr. Liu was stunned for a while and then said: "If you let Mr. Gao seduce Miss Jiang, will you know how much our family is worth?"
Jia Cong waved his fingers and said: "Mr. Liu, you can't watch from his position. First of all, you see, our family knows that the noodle shop is run by the Empress Dowager, and we met it by chance; your family knows
It's because you are from Da Nei. The Liguo Mansion doesn't know! They just heard from Hualou that there is a noodle shop owner who has something to do with Yinfengju. Moreover, that person has a small business and a lot of money. It is obvious that he has other shady people.
business. After asking again, the man is dead! It is inevitable to be curious. What if we can know the source of goods from this man's wife? It is best to do business without capital. The little widow is beautiful, and the surname is Gao, who belongs to the Hanlin family.
It's easy for a young master to seduce a young man who just lost his wife. And Boss Wang is obviously a sidekick, so seducing his wife might not disturb your family. He just didn't expect that Mr. Gao would disappear."
Mr. Liu frowned slightly and sighed for a while: "I hope I have nothing to do with these things."
Jia Cong held his chin and said: "How is that possible? Your family is just a three-year-old kid who is pregnant with money. What's more, the Liguo Mansion is already very poor. By the way, did that old man Liu Biao invite you to live in the Liguo Mansion?"
Mr. Liu looked at him: "What do you mean by this?"
Jia Cong said: "Many years ago, Aunt Xue took her children to the capital. My second aunt kindly invited their family to live in our house. Here, this is the courtyard." He pointed out, "It's not small, and it has a door facing the street.
, freedom of entry and exit." Nai paused, "Later, my second aunt told Aunt Xue that she wanted brother Baoyu to marry sister Xue. Of course, she didn't tell her sister that she couldn't actually decide on brother Baoyu's marriage. Later, she
I borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars from Aunt Xue for various reasons, but of course I never paid it back, and I don’t know where the money went. In the end, it was Brother Xue who went crazy and wanted to go back, and he was really upset. But, ordinary people have
How many people can be like Brother Xue, who is willing to quarrel with relatives for a few stinky money? Most of them just drag it out year after year."
Mr. Liu took a deep breath. In the past few days, there have been thieves coming to Faxiang Temple every night. Although they didn't take it seriously, it was annoying after all. He also asked a few questions, and they all said it was somewhere on the road recently.
There were rumors that the Liguo Mansion had a lot of money and treasures hidden in the family temple. If these words were really spread outside, people in the green forest would not know how long they would be disturbed. Liu Biao then asked them to live in the Liguo Mansion, or to go to the Liguo Mansion.
What kind of house does the government house live in? He was still hesitant at first, but after hearing what Jia Cong said, he gave up the idea.
Jia Cong looked at his face and said, "Obviously I'm right. You must not live in Liguo Mansion, but in their house?"
Mr. Liu shook his head: "Not yet, but the current residence was actually found with the help of his family."
"That's going to be soon." Jia Cong sighed, "It's best to deal with you thin-skinned people." Mr. Liu laughed dumbly. He, a big guard leader, has a thin skin? But Jia Cong saw what he was thinking and said,
"Don't underestimate your skill. It's called professional skills, and it's two different things from emotional intelligence. You are not spies after all, and it's not easy to look down on your relatives. Let alone relatives who have helped your family a lot."
Mr. Liu said: "Our family will not live in Liguo Mansion."
Jia Cong tilted his head: "Juniors have a lot of mouths. Your family is so rich, it is easy to buy anything, why do you have to live in their house? The mouth of eating people is short, the hands of taking people are short, and the feet of living people are short."
"
Mr. Liu thought for a moment and said, "I can't find a suitable place for a while."
Jia Cong said: "Isn't it possible to find a good middleman? Our house is bought by a middleman. There are three hundred and sixty businesses in different industries, and among the middlemen there are also very professional ones... Well, yes
They are particularly good at helping clients find houses. All you have to do is put forward your requirements. Where do you want to buy a house, how big is it and how much does it cost? They will help you select the most suitable one. It will be easier if you don’t miss the money.”
Mr. Liu frowned again: "I'm afraid that King Yan and the Queen Mother are looking for our home."
"And!" Jia Cong rolled his eyes at him, "Old man, who are you! Do you know how many people in the capital have the surname Liu? Are you always going to put a note on your forehead - First of all, guard the Liu family? In the eyes of outsiders,
You are just an ordinary guest." Nai paused, "Has the Liguo Mansion helped you get your household registration?"
Mr. Liu shook his head: "We haven't applied for household registration yet."
"Ha?!" Jia Cong was shocked and looked at the old man for a long time. Although Shi Li had already found out that the Liguo Government had not asked anyone to register for anyone recently. "Isn't this... too outrageous?"
Mr. Liu said: "I'm afraid the palace will notice."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "The one in the palace can't even get through the palace wall, so what if he notices it. King Yan is just fine. If it's inconvenient to go to the capital, you can go elsewhere." The two of them were silent for a moment.
Jia Cong said, "Old man, do you want our family to help you? After all, Sister Chen is also a descendant of Mr. Liu Xinxin. Where is your family's ancestral home? How can you live outside the palace without a household registration?"
"
Mr. Liu said: "Most of us have a guide to how we purchased things in the past."
"Oh, it must be done by the palace, it must be fake."
Mr. Liu nodded.
"That's so boring." Jia Cong said, "I live like a house, not at all practical. I say, be honest. The princes have to toss for several years, don't think that you can survive another two years.
The Supreme Emperor is back. Even if he comes back, where will there be a place for him in the world? It is better to make long-term plans."
Mr. Liu was silent for a long time. Finally he said: "If you really want to go to your place of origin to apply for household registration, you don't need to bother your government. We have our own way."
"Yeah." Jia Cong nodded, "Your whole family has cheats. Stay safe."
After a while, Mr. Liu asked: "Mr. Jia, if it really has nothing to do with the palace, where is the child of the Gao family?"
Jia Cong held his cheek and said, "That's a brothel and gambling house."
"Um?"
"Under normal circumstances, when a good person disappears, it's probably not because he was hooked up by a prostitute, but because he lost money in a gambling house and was detained by someone else." Jia Cong said, "Because he is the son of the Hanlin family, so he wants to
Even if he loses money, he is reluctant to tell the gambler his family background, for fear of losing his father's face. Well, Beijing is still quite chaotic now, and there are fights between gangsters in the streets, and it affects the fish in the pond. This is not yours.
For our strength, we might as well count on the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."
Mr. Liu thought for a moment and sighed softly: "That's all. Excuse me."
Jia Cong said: "Don't be so polite, you are the elder after all."
Mr. Liu smiled and said: "No wonder Taoist Master Zhenming went to the south to help you, he really knows how to speak."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "They say I can't speak, just like a stick. Isn't it true that you are always the elder?" Then he looked back at Chen Ruijin. Chen Ruijin came forward and said a blessing.
Mr. Liu then looked at Shi Li, who was sitting idle with a teapot and a snack plate: "That little brother is very skilled."
Shi Li hurriedly put down the teapot and clasped his fists in his hands, saying: "Old senior, that's a big reward."
"Which family do you belong to? What's your name?"
"This junior's name is Ah Hei. Master never said it..."
Mr. Liu asked casually, but after hearing this, he looked at him and said, "Do I recognize him?"
Shi Li lowered his eyebrows and said, "I bet I don't recognize him."
Mr. Liu took a closer look at his features and said, "You do look familiar." Shi Li smiled and said nothing. Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Mr. Liu stood up and left. Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin escorted him out in person.
Turning back to the yard, Jia Cong glanced at Shi Li and said, "Hey, what a bloody grudge?"
Shi Li hummed, "I knew you would make blind guesses."
Jia Cong came up to him and said, "Maybe you are their missing child. Is your surname Liu?"
Shi Li smiled and shook his head: "No, my real surname is Shi. Guess again!"
"What if it's not the child of a sister they lost contact with?"
"No. I'm not related to their family by blood."
"It's not that we are related, but that we have enmity?" Jia Cong narrowed his eyes, "Their family has been ordered to assassinate many loyal ministers and good generals. Are you an orphan?"
"Still missed." Shi Li shook his head, "Oh, even Jia Cong couldn't guess it, let alone them."
Jia Cong touched his nose: "Aren't these bloody stories? What else can there be? He thinks you look familiar. There must be some reason."
Shi Li laughed and said, "Why do you think I want to come to Lixiangyuan to live in these days? I want to hang out in front of him."
"Ah!" Jia Cong high-fived, "I guessed it!"
"What?"
Jia Cong was so excited that he almost jumped on the table: "Could it be that you are a descendant of his lover? Because as the leader of the imperial guard, he cannot marry a woman from an ordinary family, so the woman can only marry someone else?"
Shi Li still smiled and waved his hands: "No! That's right!"
Jia Cong really couldn't guess now. "What other possibilities are there!" He had never asked Shi Li's identity earlier. He thought that if there was anything unusual, Jia Xu would tell him. Since
I didn’t say anything, but he must have been just an ordinary child who was adopted by Mr. Mu by chance. “Are you a descendant of the Situ family?”
Shi Li rolled his eyes at him: "I just told you that my surname is Shi."
"It's going to cost someone's life." Jia Cong rubbed his eyebrows, "How can I guess?"
"That's all, let's guess again when we have time in the future." Chen Ruijin said, "The ancestral home of Li Guofu is Chang'an."
Jia Cong nodded: "So they will go to Qin to apply for household registration in the near future. I will write a letter to my aunt and ask her to help me keep an eye on it. Knowing the names of these people is better than not knowing." Naishin said.
I was lazy and said, "This verbal exchange is really hard. Let's go to bed."
He and Chen Ruijin then went back to the house to clean up. Shi Li was still sitting alone in the yard enjoying the shade. (.. )
