It is said that Princess Qin did some testing and found out that her younger son and her eldest son's wife were not related. She immediately suspected that someone was instigating her two sons to go against each other. The first person to become suspicious was naturally Cao's cousin Mr. Ji, so she ordered someone to secretly investigate him.
. He also sent the eunuch Zhang Gonggong to the Gao family to meet Jia Cong and asked him about the story about Shao in "The Story of Ziyi". Jia Cong was not polite and told Ding Chu from being adopted by the Zhao family in Ping'an Prefecture to abducting Liu Guo of Lu.
Dong's concubine eloped, and all the past information was revealed. Finally, he said: "These things are not secrets, and they are all quite big. The princess can find out with just a little prying." Eunuch Zhang turned dark.
Thank you again and leave.
Princess Qin heard the report and said: "No wonder he wants to drive away the Gao family."
Zhang Gonggong said: "It's just that this person is very good at persuading people, and the prince can't trust him any more. Even if the queen tells the prince, he may not be willing to listen."
Princess Qin sighed: "True words go against the ears, and thieves are in power."
Coincidentally, at this moment, an old Huangmen named Hua from King Qin's side came over. This father-in-law Hua had been with King Qin for many years. Although he was not favored, he was a very reliable eunuch in King Qin's heart. But he saw him smiling at Princess Qin.
Da Qian'er said: "Just now, a merchant from the south brought a lot of sea goods to the prince. The prince found it interesting and said that he would give it to all the ladies to enjoy." Then he said in a louder voice, "I will give you advice.
, the princess is the most impartial, and she knows everyone’s preferences, so why not let the princess make the assignments." He raised his voice again, "No! The prince has already ordered someone to send it to you."
Princess Qin said: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for trusting me. Rather than letting the concubines be assigned to you, why don't you sisters choose them yourself?"
Father-in-law Hua smiled and said: "Of course it is the princess who has the final say." Princess Qin ordered people to reward him with money and also asked people to bring in those overseas goods to have a look. Eunuch-in-law Hua left with the banknotes in his pocket.
The Hua Eunuch returned to King Qin and replied, and the King of Qin asked him to step aside. The Hua Eunuch hesitated for a moment, stopped talking, and finally swallowed his words. However, the King of Qin had already seen it, and said: "What do you want to say?
"
Father-in-law Hua hurriedly said: "It's nothing." He looked around hesitantly as he spoke.
King Qin glanced at him and ordered everyone else to go out and said, "Speak."
Eunuch Hua stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, this old slave just... accidentally overheard a few words... said by the princess and Eunuch Zhang."
"What words?"
"The empress said, 'What a thief, no wonder he wants to drive away the Gao family. I only thought he was trying to gain credit in front of the prince, but I didn't expect it to be such a reason.'" Zhang Gonggong said, "It's just that the prince has already charmed him."
He said, "We can't produce any personal or physical evidence at the moment. Even if we find that oriole..." said the empress, "Oriole." Zhang Gonggong said, "Yes, I remembered it wrong. Even if the empress finds that oriole, it will not help. He
If she denies it, the prince may not be willing to believe her." The queen sighed, "The prince cherishes talents... As the saying goes, if a man is virtuous, he is talented, and if a woman is devoid of talent, she is virtuous. God knows when it will happen again if she is talented but not virtuous.
Turn back and bite the prince.' But at this moment, the servant heard footsteps running towards me, so he took a few steps back. It turned out that the little eunuch Xiao Jie who was guarding the queen's door had left."
King Qin frowned, and after a while he said: "What kind of yellow warbler?"
Mr. Hua said: "It sounds like a woman's name."
King Qin thought for a moment and said, "Are they talking about Ding Chu?"
Eunuch Hua lowered his head and said, "The old slave also thinks the same as the prince."
King Qin walked around the house several times with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Is there some grudge between Ding Chu and the Gao family?" After thinking for a while, he looked at Eunuch Hua and said, "You and Eunuch Liu have known each other for many years, right?"
.”
"yes."
"Pry into his tone and see what the princess is up to."
"Old slave, I obey." Hua Gonggong took the order and left.
About an hour and a half later, Eunuch Hua came back and said: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang said that the princess found something."
"What's up?"
Just when Hua Gonggong was about to speak, he heard someone say outside the door: "How about I tell the prince?" I saw Princess Qin wearing court clothes that had not been used for many years, holding her head high, pushing the door open, and bowing gracefully to the King of Qin.
King Qin immediately knew that she was imitating the imperial attire of Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty to give advice. He was very happy and hurriedly helped her up: "Why do you need to be so polite, my beloved concubine?"
Princess Qin sighed: "I have been thinking about it for a long time. I am just a harem girl, and I don't have much ability. Important matters have to be decided by the prince, so it is better to tell him." She wiped her tears and said, "These days,
I, my concubine, can't even sleep." Eunuch Hua hurriedly and quietly retreated, and he and Eunuch Zhang stood guard at the door.
Princess Qin then told King Qin all the details about Ding Chu. King Qin was shocked: "He still has such an origin."
Princess Qin said: "Back then, he had a serious quarrel with the female spy named Oriole, and the quarrel with the concubine who abducted Liu Tong was even more serious. If the prince doesn't believe it, just send people to Ping'an Prefecture and Lu State to investigate."
King Qin frowned. Princess Qin was silent for a moment, and then said that a few days ago, someone tricked her into misunderstanding that there was a dispute in the backyard of her two sons. King Qin said: "There is such a thing!"
Princess Qin smiled bitterly and said: "It's all my concubine's fault. She became suspicious after hearing the nonsense rumors and wrongly accused the two children."
The King of Qin immediately said: "I am going to investigate this matter."
Princess Qin bowed gracefully again: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
King Qin felt relieved and waved his hands and said: "Why do you hide such an important matter from me?"
Princess Qin lowered her head and said: "I am too cautious. Just now, the father-in-law Hua beside the prince advised me that the closest relationship is between husband and wife. I have something on my mind. If I don't ask the prince for help, who else can I ask for help?"
King Qin nodded: "He is a good man. Please reward him later." Princess Qin smiled.
After Princess Qin left, King Qin thought about it in the room for a while, and then sent people to secretly investigate Ding Chu and Mr. Ji. Several businessmen quietly slipped away from King Qin's room, and those who saw them just pretended not to see them. Here
Naturally, there is a flower father-in-law on the head.
That night Chen Ruijin got the letter and told Jia Cong: "It's done, King Qin has started investigating."
Jia Cong stretched himself greatly: "Fifth uncle actually planted someone in King Qin's house! No wonder SHIELD knows everything."
Chen Ruijin pursed his lips and smiled: "These eunuchs were all installed by Liu Dengxi back then. Fortunately, they can all be used today."
Jia Cong said: "The King of Qin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. We don't need to take action in the next thing, right? You can go back! Let's go to Dajiala New City to hold a wedding!"
Chen Ruijin couldn't help but blush slightly and said casually: "The name of Dajiala is so weird. Do you want to change it?"
"Okay! You can do it as you see fit." Jia Cong said, "That place was called 'Taipei' in later generations, and it was a big city that ranked high on the list. When we first started building it, I also thought about whether to change the name in later generations.
, and I feel that it feels too time-travelling, and it is very inconsistent. If it is changed, should Chengtian Mansion be changed to "Tainan"? After thinking about it for a long time, Chengtian Mansion still sounds good to my ears. Although Dajiala is a bit strange, it has some local temperament.
.”
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "That's all, let's not change it. It's already smooth."
"You have the final say!"
A night of silence.
The next day, Jia Cong was still sleeping in, and the doorman came to wake him up, saying that Mr. Ji from last time was here. Jia Cong rubbed his eyes, changed his clothes, and asked someone to send more snacks to Liao Fengxuan behind the outer study room.
Walked away slowly.
I saw Mr. Ji sitting in the Liao Feng Pavilion, drinking tea and admiring the scenery. When he saw him coming, he stepped forward and bowed deeply. Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Mr. Ji, don't be so polite. I always feel that other people's courtesy should not be taken casually."
"Yes." Mr. Ji smiled and said nothing. Jia Cong sat down as if there was nothing to do and muttered, "Why are you here so early? I haven't had breakfast yet." He picked up the plate of snacks and ate without any distractions.
After a while, Mr. Ji sighed: "Mr. Jia is so calm."
Jia Cong raised his head: "Huh?"
"Don't Mr. Jia know what's going on outside these days?"
Jia Cong swallowed the snack in his mouth and ate half a cup of tea before saying, "What does your Qin country's affairs have to do with me?"
Mr. Ji chuckled: "Five days ago, someone found two corpses in an empty house on the outskirts of the city. They seemed to have died in a fight."
"oh."
"One of them is Jiang Laosi."
"oh."
"The second master of the prefect's family has disappeared out of thin air for several days. Someone found his body three days ago, and the body of another person was also in the house. The neighbors said that the other person was the owner of the house.
People know what he does. After inspection, we found that the owner of the house must be a green forest expert."
"oh."
"Mr. Jia doesn't care about these things?"
"What do your Qin affairs have to do with me?"
Mr. Ji laughed, looked at Jia Cong and said, "Wansheng wants to make a deal with Mr. Jia."
Jia Cong then raised his head: "What deal?"
Mr. Ji said: "Since Mr. Jia is so calm, he must have not obtained the 'irrefutable evidence' mentioned by Chen Laoer, or he had obtained it but Mr. Jia took it back."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "I got back everything that was stolen."
Mr. Ji smiled and said, "Mr. Jia must be very upset as well. You are just here to visit relatives, but you have caused so many troubles for nothing."
Jia Cong let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "There is nothing in the world, it's just people who bother themselves."
Mr. Ji said calmly: "Mr. Jia must be interested in finding out King Yan's spies in Qin?"
Jia Cong raised a finger: "Correction! They are spies from the King of Xining County, not from the King of Yan, nor from the State of Qin." Mr. Ji looked at him thoughtfully. Jia Cong took a bite of the snack, "Because
He specifically targeted me."
Mr. Ji nodded and said: "I see. Feng Ziying can trust you anyway."
Jia Cong took another bite of the snack: "That's right. If you don't accept it, hold it in."
Mr. Ji said: "Wan Sheng has always been my uncle's helper and knows a lot."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "We have already started to investigate Mr. Cao."
Mr. Ji said: "How much time and energy will it cost you to find out? How about I give it to you?"
Jia Cong glanced at him sideways: "Is this what you want to trade with me?" Mr. Ji nodded. Jia Cong thought that no matter whether the information this person gave was true or false, it would be of some use. He asked, "You know
How many?"
Mr. Ji said: "It's quite a lot. If I add my uncle, it will be even more."
Jia Cong said "Hey": "But your uncle's illegitimate son was killed by my people."
Mr. Ji said: "He is just an illegitimate son who cannot get into the family, and he is not a serious son."
Jia Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a long time, then asked: "Are you here for Mr. Cao?"
Mr. Ji said sternly: "No. Wan Sheng is here for me. If I can make a deal with Mr. Jia, I will persuade my uncle later."
"What do you want?"
Mr. Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Last time Wansheng said he wanted to get his fiancée back, Mr. Jia didn't seem to believe it."
"No." Jia Cong said, "It was your arrangement that your fiancée entered the prince's backyard. You don't need to rely on anyone's strength to take her back - I don't believe you can't do it yourself if you want to take her back."
Mr. Ji lowered his head slightly, and after a while he whispered: "Uncle wants her to go, what can I do?"
Jia Congdao shrugged and said, "You really want her so much, what can you do? When the rumor of 'the most beautiful woman in Chang'an' spread, you just need to spread another one, 'Mr. Cao has body odor'! Guarantee the crown prince's concubine?"
Dare to take her away."
Mr. Ji was startled: "I am not so bold when I am a late student." Jia Cong curled his lips and said nothing. After a while, Mr. Ji whispered, "Uncle said, let me seriously join His Highness the Third Prince and help him win the throne.
position. In the future, both of them will suffer losses, and my cousin will still be mine."
Jia Cong held his cheek and said: "But I have a daughter, and you can't treat it as your own. Besides, even if the prince loses his position, that Cao family is indeed a beauty, and she may not be able to fall into your hands. Even Cao Cao would not agree.
Send the beauty to Guan Yunchang."
Mr. Ji said: "We can go overseas." Jia Cong raised his eyes and glanced at him, not as if he was joking. Mr. Ji said again, "I will take my cousin overseas to avoid my uncle. Besides, the King of Qin has already
They are starting to investigate my uncle and I. Mr. Jia, if I say that there is no trick of yours here, I won’t believe it."
Jia Cong shrugged and said, "It's fine if you don't believe it or not. No one asked you to believe it."
Mr. Ji smiled and said, "Can this deal be done?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "No. Now that King Qin has started investigating, it will be difficult for your uncle to escape, and it will be even harder for you to escape. I don't have to help you, King Qin will help me."
Mr. Ji whispered: "There are some things that King Qin may not be able to find out. Besides, Mr. Jia probably doesn't want King Qin to know."
"Oh?" Jia Cong laughed, "Is it something against me? Evidence?"
Mr. Ji said: "It is extremely difficult to move Mr. Jia in front of King Yan, because Mr. Jia has done many great contributions for him. It is much easier in front of King Qin. Since Mr. Jia also brought Ding Chu with him, he must be willing to give in."
The Gao family reconciled with the King of Qin. You see, I just want a woman to save myself trouble."
Jia Cong looked at him a few more times: "Do you really only want one woman?"
Mr. Ji nodded: "I really only want one woman. And..." He smiled and said, "Her daughter is mine." Jia Cong was so shocked that he dropped the snack in his hand. Mr. Ji said, "It's just
His Highness the Third Highness did not know about it. That day I accompanied him to see Mr. Jia. If I said that I would treat my cousin’s daughter as my own, I’m afraid he would complain that I was pretending too much. How many men are willing to keep other people’s children?”
Jia Cong suddenly remembered Pan Xigui from Beijing, and murmured: "There are still some..." He sighed again, there was nothing outsiders could do about it. He looked at Mr. Ji, "The child is really yours?" Mr. Ji
Nodding. Jia Cong stretched out his hand and wanted to give him a high-five, but his hand was in mid-air and he patted the case, "Okay. Handle the person with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
