However, it was said that the servants of the Jia family, the Jiang family and the Lin Luan family were all suspected of colluding with outsiders, and two of them were killed suddenly. Jia Cong did not know why. After coming out of Feng Ziying's place, he did not return home, but went straight to Shi Li's house to have sex.
Ask him if he has any clues.
When he got to the door and pushed it open, he didn't close the door, and he and Liu Xiaoqi were lying in the courtyard to enjoy the coolness. There were two rattan lounge chairs and a table full of food and drink. Jia Cong gritted his teeth: This guy has already taken Liu Xiaoqi's way.
He must have been abducted. Noi stepped forward and shouted: "It's dawn~~"
Shi Li covered his face with a handkerchief and hummed: "The sun is quite round tonight."
"Nonsense, it's obviously crooked." Jia Cong stepped forward and took off the veil, "Hey, hey, something happened."
Shi Li looked like he was still awake: "Huh?"
Jia Cong then told what happened today and finally asked, "Do you know what happened?"
"How did I know?" Shi Li said, "It's too hot today. We both spent the whole day in the yard without going out and drank several jars of wine." Jia Cong kicked the leg of the chair.
Liu Xiaoqi thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid I really have to ask Mr. Feng to go to Jia Huan's yard to have a look, in case there is anything wrong?"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "He will bring someone here tomorrow. It's so annoying." He looked down and saw that Shi Li was about to fall asleep again. He also knew that Liu Xiaoqi was there, and there were some things he couldn't say, so he had to leave in anger.
After returning to the mansion for a while, Chen Ruijin hadn't come back yet. Jia Cong had to go down alone and pathetically come up with ideas for dinner, holding his head and thinking about it in the courtyard. It wasn't until the second watch that Chen Ruijin came back. He first served tea as usual.
He held the water for a while, letting her calm down before asking: "Do you have any idea about killing Lin Luan, that maid, and Mrs. Jin?"
Chen Ruijin said: "I killed Mrs. Jin."
"ah?"
Chen Ruijin was also very busy today. First, she secretly followed Jia Cong to Feng Ziying's place. Jia Cong was still on the way, so she came back first and interrogated Mrs. Jin, and silenced her without asking anything.
Mrs. Jin is not even a craftsman, she is just someone who was bribed by the Empress Dowager to deliver a message. Now that Yinfengju has fallen into the hands of Ma Sili, it is better not to let the people of King Yan know about that line, and let the Liu family carry it.
The flag is not bad either.
Then he rushed to Wang's Noodle House to report the news to Wang Jiangshi. When Feng Ziying's people went to test it, Wang Jiangshi realized that this person was not an ordinary noodle customer. After hearing what Chen Ruijin said, he made a quick decision: "I'll give up first.
This shop." The two discussed it for a while and decided that it would be best to cover it up with a romantic affair. Xue Pan had also been here a few days ago. So they made up a story about Xue Baochai coming to blackmail the young widow. After Chen Ruijin left, Wang
Mr. Jiang tidied up a bit, and told his neighbors with a sad face that he was having a hard time making a living, so he went to the pawn shop to pawn some items. After leaving, he never returned to the noodle shop.
Chen Ruijin then turned back to Xue's house to discuss with them how to fool Feng Ziying tomorrow. Several people arranged for half a day, so Xue Pan only said that he had received information from outside and heard that Wang's noodle shop had a way to buy smuggled breech Western fire.
The gun was twice as cheap as the Red Bones, but the quantity was very small. Xue Pan did not fight, so it was very suitable for him. I thought it would not be easy for Xue Pan to deal with Feng Ziying. Who knew that he waved his hand: "Nothing."
It's okay! Ziying won't doubt me. I'm a fool like Xue Pan." Liu Aiyun and others were right. The more familiar they are with his character, the less likely they will be suspicious. Xue Pan can't coax others, but he can do it by coaxing his friends.
Finally, she walked back to Ma Sili's residence. It turned out that Wang Jiang ordered him to send someone to look for Lin Luan a few days ago. Lin Luan mumbled a few words and said that she was afraid that she would not be able to return to Rong.
It’s the national government.
After hearing this, Jia Cong clapped his fingers and said: "It seems that four people were silenced and one was missing. It's just a coincidence. The shopkeeper at Yinfengju was Shi Limi's mouth. In order to stuff Ma Sili into Yinfengju, he
Fengju. Boss Wang is a eunuch who went back to the Forbidden City to protect the Empress Dowager. He is still alive. It was you who took care of Granny Jin. So, what happened to Lin Luan’s little girl?"
Chen Ruijin asked: "Has anything been found in Feng Ziying's autobiography?"
"Poisoned to death," Jia Cong said, "but we haven't found out what kind of poison it was or how it was administered. Because the maid has been followed by spies since she left home, and she has never eaten anything."
While the two were talking, Shi Li jumped down from the courtyard wall and shouted: "You two, come and be safe."
Jia Cong glanced at him sideways: "Uncle Shi, is it time to lose? My little lover is gone?"
"Let's go." Shi Li said, "You've already eaten and drank until midnight and you still refuse to stay the night~~ Uncle Shi is so pitiful." He sat down directly opposite Jia Cong.
Jia Cong then told them what they had just guessed and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Shi Li touched his chin: "Yes, but I don't want to say it right now."
"what?"
"I don't want to tell you two for now," Shi Li said, "Anyway, I have a good idea. I'll go take a look at Brother Huan's yard." After saying that, he walked away.
Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin looked at each other for a while, and Chen Ruijin said: "I'm tired today. Since he wants to take care of it, I'll take a rest."
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "I'll rub your shoulder with you." The two of them ignored it. They didn't even know when Shi Li left.
The next day, Feng Ziying led people to Rongguo Mansion and searched Jia Huan's yard carefully. There was nothing wrong. Feng Ziying walked around the house for half a day when she suddenly noticed a big pine tree outside.
There was something wrong with the bonsai. I stared at it for a long time.
Jia Cong followed him around and couldn't help but asked: "Is this something inappropriate?"
Feng Ziying said: "It seems like something is wrong and I can't think of it."
Jia Cong walked around the bonsai several times: "It's very beautiful. There's nothing wrong with it." Feng Ziying still stared at it. Jia Cong asked, "Do you know bonsai? Are you an expert?"
Feng Ziying shook her head: "I don't understand."
"Why don't you invite someone knowledgeable?" Jia Cong remembered that Wang Fu, the master who played the piano from the palace, had gone out a few days ago to buy a few small bonsais to cut and play with. He was an expert, so he sent a boy.
Go back to Lixiangyuan to invite him.
Suddenly Wang Fu came. When he saw the bonsai, he immediately said: "This pine pine has not been touched before."
"Huh?" Jia Cong pointed at the basin and said, "Even the moss has grown on it. It's obvious that no one has touched it for a long time."
Wang Fudao: "There are many kinds of moss. This bonsai is placed in a sunny place, and it is summer now. Even if the moss grows, it is not this kind. This kind is the moss that grows in cool and watery places."
Jia Cong and Feng Ziying looked at each other, and Feng Ziying ordered: "dig up!"
Wang Fu hurriedly said: "Old slave, come and dig! This pine tree is growing very well, which means five blessings will come to your door! Don't let those boys touch the shovel."
Jia Cong said: "Okay, okay, sir! I say Uncle Fu, you claim to be unable to change! What are you doing, slave?"
Wang Fu said with a smile: "I haven't spoken much these days. Isn't this because I met Mr. Feng?"
Feng Ziying said: "Mr. Wang, don't worry, the Queen Mother now only occasionally invites people to come to the palace to play music, and the Queen Mother often refuses to agree." Wang Fu silently bowed to him deeply.
Wang Fu wanted to go back to Lixiangyuan to get his shovel and other things. Jia Cong said: "It's such a hot day, just send the boys to get it. There are also guys in the yard, why don't you just come and get it?"
Wang Fu refused: "Those boys are clumsy, don't damage my guy. There must be no serious ones here." There was no choice but to order someone to follow him with a parasol to take care of him.
Seeing that Wang Fu had disappeared, Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong and said, "You treated him like a guest."
Jia Cong said: "Uncle Fu's piano is really of a high level. I always thought it was a waste to let him play the piano at home. I asked him if he wanted to go to Liu Aiyun's place, where there was a large audience. It actually scared him. Alas, these deep-rooted concepts
…Liu Aiyun’s opera art is also art.”
"What two bunches?" Feng Ziying said, "Don't you want to listen to opera?"
"I don't listen to drama." Jia Cong said, "But it doesn't stop me from knowing that Liu Aiyun is really a great person. Without real ability, how can he reach his current status just by relying on hype. By the way, Brother Feng, in Uncle Fu's family
How do you know?"
Feng Ziying said: "I sent people to the Jiaofang Division to inquire, and they all thought he was dead."
"That's all, let him do whatever he wants." Jia Cong held the back of his neck with his hands and leaned back on the chair, "Happiness does not necessarily have to be reunited as a family. It is better to forget each other in the world." Feng Ziying said nothing.
Suddenly Wang Fu came back and carefully dug out the pine bonsai. He couldn't help but feel distressed: "Who was the clumsy guy who changed the pot last time? The roots were damaged."
Jia Cong said: "Don't feel bad, pine trees are the most vital and will grow back in a short time. Well, is there anything wrong with it?"
Wang Fun mouthed: "What is that?"
When everyone took a look, something was exposed in the basin. Someone dug it out, patted it and gave it to Feng Ziying. It turned out to be a rag doll. Jia Cong immediately shuddered: "Is it a witchcraft?"
Feng Ziying said: "It's 80% correct. Could you please Uncle Fu and check again to see if there is anything wrong with it."
Wang Fulian said repeatedly, "Don't worry about it." He walked around the house and courtyard a few times, and saw that there was something wrong with three large bonsais, and found a total of four witchcraft dolls. Feng Ziying and Jia Cong both thanked them.
he.
Taking a closer look at these four dolls, the curse of these days is really simple and crude. The four dolls are all female, and they all have birth dates hidden in them. Based on their age, it seems that they are probably Princess Jian'an. They all had a number inserted into their abdomens.
A steel needle was supposed to curse Princess Jian'an for infertility or miscarriage. Jia Cong gritted his teeth and said, "What a black heart."
However, Feng Ziying had another thought. Because the Liu family left the palace secretly without alerting the guarding imperial guards; the Empress Dowager did not tell the people of King Yan in order not to reveal their shortcomings; therefore Feng Ziying did not know about them.
He is no longer in the palace. He is thinking that Jia Cong must marry Chen Ruijin; Chen Ruijin is a female guard in the inner court and cannot have a son; Jia Lian only has one son. There is no telling whether Jia Cong will adopt Jia Huan's son in the future.
Incense. Jia Huan also promised in public that he would never accept sex, and he was also a consort. If Princess Jian'an had no children, Jia Huan and Jia Cong would probably have no descendants. And this messy matter also involved the Liu family in Da Nei.
Although King Yan recruited some people from the imperial guard, they were not descendants of the Liu family, and he knew very little about the Liu family. To this day, it is still unclear whether they are considered to be members of the Empress Dowager. The eunuch guards who were with the Empress Dowager defected last time.
, the Liu family seems to be standing by and watching. Or it is like the Liu family and a monk in a temple, not guarding a certain master, but guarding the person on the dragon throne. Could this matter have something to do with the Liu family in Ouchi?
His mind was so open that Jia Cong was already checking the rag doll and said: "Aren't all witch and Gu dolls made of wood? Why is this one made of cloth? Brother Feng, can the cloth be found out?"
Feng Ziying looked at it and said: "This is ordinary cloth. Even if you find it out, it may not be useful. That's all, I'll check it out." He ordered people to put away the four dolls. "Do you have Princess Jian'an's horoscope at home? Yes, a pair.
.If it’s accurate…”
Jia Cong shouted: "Yes! How can ordinary people have her horoscope in their hands?"
Feng Ziying said: "Let's check your house carefully, and I'll go to Xue Da Fool to ask."
Jia Cong clasped his fists: "Please." He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the bundle holding the baby, and sneered, "Also, the person who does this is a layman. This thing is useless at all." Feng Ziying knew that he knew some magic, so she clicked.
nod.
Feng Ziying left Rongguo Mansion, first returned to her yamen, and ordered people to check the four witchcraft dolls; she also asked if there was any progress on the other side.
Wu Zuo said: "I really don't know what kind of poison it is. But it is definitely not an ordinary poison."
"What is an ordinary poison?"
Wu Zuo said: "Such as arsenic, frost, aconite, gutwort, oleander, etc., anyone who knows medicine can try to get their hands on it. The poison that this little maid was poisoned must have been carefully prepared and cannot be obtained by ordinary people."
I'm afraid that ordinary wealthy families may not be able to have it."
"Your suspicion came from the palace."
Wu Zuo nodded: "Exactly. Although I am not talented, I have seen hundreds of poisons and medicines in the world."
Feng Ziying nodded and said: "This case is indeed related to the palace." Not to mention the Liu family of Da Nei, Lin Luan and her mirror grinder had just come out of the palace not long ago, and her grandfather was still the chief of the Taiyuan Hospital, and spies came.
According to the newspaper, the young widow of Wang's Noodle House went out to pawn something. She flashed in the crowd and then disappeared. She never went back. No one in the pawn shop near their home had seen her.
He then went to Xue's house again, but it was in vain. Xue Pan followed the lies concocted by Chen Ruijin, Liu Aiyun and others, and used the firearms smuggling business as a cover, and he deceived Feng Ziying. It was just the trickster of the Jiang family.
I'm afraid she might also be silenced. Last night, a woman next to Xue Baochai fell into a well.
On the other end, Feng Ziying was sent away, Jia Cong ordered people to clean up Jia Huan's yard, and he still went to work in the Hanlin Academy. He had just explained to the adults in charge of the matter why physical education classes were held, and someone came from Rongguo Mansion.
Looking for him was sent by Jia Zheng.
The boy said happily: "Third Master Cong! The Second Master sent me to announce the good news, and asked the Third Master to go back as soon as possible."
Jia Cong was originally fat, but the weather was hot now, and it took him a lot of talking to explain clearly to a few nerds that "a strong body is the capital of a child's future." When he was annoyed, he casually said: "What's the happy event? Is it possible?"
Which of his aunts is pregnant? How old is he and can he still have children?"
The boy smiled flatteringly and said, "Even if something like this happens, it's not a big deal. Why would it alarm the Third Master?" The boy blinked mischievously, "The Third Master Cong is very happy! Someone came to the door to tell the Third Master Cong about the marriage.
"
"Ahem..." Jia Cong happened to be drinking tea, so he didn't choke. After half a day, he said, "Second uncle is not wrong! Who is so proud that he dares to propose marriage to me?"
The boy said: "It's an old relative of ours, the eldest man of the Qi State Mansion is here! He said he wants to marry their young lady to Mr. Cong."
Jia Cong fell off the chair with a "plop" and fell backwards.
The eldest man of Qi Guofu - happened to be Chen Ruijin's biological father.
