The deal between Liu Xiaoqi and the King of Qin's special envoy was successful, and the people sent by the King of Qin's special envoy to deliver the message also left the capital safely. Jia Xu then secretly sent a message to the king's special envoys in Beijing, informing them that the King of Xining County was another detailed leader of the King of Yan. Feng Ziying This spy leader is well known to everyone, so everyone is watching him and guarding against him. The king of Xining County was originally a secret prepared by King Yan, and no one paid attention to the convenience of everything. Now Jia Xu has given him a warning, and in the blink of an eye, Xining The fine work outside the palace has increased several times compared to before. Prince Xining immediately noticed something was wrong and ordered his men to be more careful, and ordered to investigate the origins of these people.
Coincidentally, the man named Sun under King Yan had just rushed back to the capital and reported all the things he had heard from him in Chang'an. Situ Pan couldn't laugh or cry and said, "It's useless for you to burn his letter. He will reply right away." When Beijing comes, I must go to Feng Ziying and say it again in person."
Mr. Sun said: "Wei Chen knows, but it is just to burn those directories. There are many that are true."
King Yan frowned: "Since they are suspicious of Jia Cong and intend to bait him, they shouldn't use the truth." Then he called Feng Ziying over and asked Mr. Sun to say it again.
Feng Ziying immediately became angry after hearing this: "Kidnapping? Is this what the person surnamed Jin did?"
Mr. Sun said hurriedly: "That person is just a small leader under Prince Xining, and he is eager to make meritorious deeds."
Feng Ziying said sternly to Situ Pan: "Your Majesty, my subordinates and Jia Cong are not in a party."
Situ Pan waved his hand: "You came here because of his persuasion, so what's the point of forming a party? If you want to form a party, you are also forming a party with Gu."
Feng Ziying sneered and said: "He spends all his time on his own people, but he is quite selfless."
Situ Pan coughed and said, "Jia Cong is a man who never suffers a loss. Please advise him later. This is just a misunderstanding. Don't take it personally."
Feng Ziying said: "This kind of thing happens too often. He is too lazy to care about it. He just wants to trust Prince Xining from now on."
As they were talking, there was a confidant sent by the King of Xining County outside to ask for an audience. Situ Pan ordered the man to come in. When he saw Feng Ziying, he was slightly startled. However, Situ Pan had no intention of letting others avoid him, so he had to step forward to salute and return. They said that there were suddenly many spies outside their house. Several people frowned. Because the spies of the Xining Department in Qin State were not as fast as Jia Cong, and they had not entered Beijing yet, the king of Xining County still did not know where his home was. Missed the bottom.
The next day, Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion openly and pretended to have just arrived in Beijing. As soon as he got off his horse at the gate of the mansion, he ordered a boy to go to Feng Ziying's house, told him that he was going to Feng's house for dinner in the evening, and ordered several Feng Ziying knew that he was going to file a complaint, and laughed. Then she sent someone to tell Situ Pan.
That night, Jia Cong went to Feng's house. Feng Ziying had been waiting at home early and told Mr. Cong of Jia's family to come to the study outside. Jia Cong carried a few small items bought on the streets of Chang'an. He jumped into Feng Ziying's study room and shouted: "Master Feng! I'm here to give you a gift for Master Feng."
Feng Ziying glanced at him and coughed: "What a good thing, bring it up!"
Jia Cong introduced: "This is the shadow puppet of the shadow play, this is the clay whistle that children play with, which is very interesting, and this is their green tea. I left in a hurry, so I only brought these few things."
"What a mess." Feng Ziying looked amused, "That's all, I know you have something going on."
Jia Cong blinked: "Did he receive the snack I gave to my little nephew?"
Feng Ziying sighed: "I just received it the day before yesterday." Mr. Sun said that more is worse than less, and asked him to pretend that he had read Jia Cong's letter and the fake directory given by Mr. Ji. Situ Pan did not say that this was also the case. Meaning. "Tell me what's going on."
Jia Cong immediately understood that he was angry with the people from Xining, and he said angrily: "This is the first time I have suffered such a big loss!" Then he started talking loudly. After asking Mr. Ji carefully, he learned that
The kidnapping incident was planned by Mr. Chen. Mr. Cao and others did not know the specific details. They just asked Mr. Cao to trip Chen Ruijin according to Mr. Chen's words. Jia Cong then ignored the part about Chen Ruijin walking on the roof to check for traces.
They did not say how they were taken away, but they only said that the kidnappers put sachets on themselves to disturb the scent of tracking dogs, but they did not put them on themselves. The Gao family's dogs chased the kidnappers' scent and helped find him.
Nai spread his hands and said, "Have you ever seen such a stupid kidnapper?"
Feng Ziying didn't find it funny and said: "I don't do things carefully."
Jia Cong talked about Mr. Ji again and said: "The Prince of Xining is not very picky. That man is an infatuated person who only cares about his cousin."
After hearing this, Feng Ziying thought for a long time and asked: "Since you promised to help Mr. Ji rescue his cousin, why didn't you do anything?"
"The woman refused." Jia Cong said, "Sister Chen went to see her specially. She already had children, and the prince doted on her. Sister Chen said that since the woman refused, forget it. Later, for some unknown reason, Ji
My husband didn't come to see us either, so we hurried back to the south - Brother Yao'er is probably getting married soon."
Feng Ziying said: "That's all. That person named Ji... is one of our own after all."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes and looked at him for a while, then looked around: "Is it possible that the prince is eavesdropping?"
Feng Ziying laughed and said: "Nonsense. I have no grudge against Prince Xining."
Jia Cong hummed: "Yes, yes, you have no problem with him, but he has a problem with you. He is jealous and you are favored~~ He does not spend his mind on hard work, but only thinks about holding back his colleagues. Could it be that his colleagues are pulling him down?
Jia Cong spread his hands: "I didn't say it to the prince. Why don't you let someone kidnap you just to complain?"
"Okay~~" Feng Ziying said as if coaxing a child, "Has your aunt made it clear?"
"The old lady is quite reasonable." Jia Cong said, "She also said that my brother-in-law has been bored in Ping'an Prefecture. He is the third child and nothing happens to him." He took a sip of tea and said, "
I'm here to tell you that you have to go back to the south quickly. Cousin Lin's wedding is also a big event. "Hey," he looked at Feng Ziying, "do you want the prince to give you a gift?"
Feng Ziying smiled: "We are already on the way." She thought for a moment and asked, "I know you have to rush back to watch the ceremony. Will Mr. Su go?"
Jia Cong touched his chin and said: "With his old arms and legs, he can't catch the rush. By the time he arrives slowly, he will have already got married. I'll just give him a gift and write an article. But his son has always wanted to pick him up.
Go to Jingzhou. He's used to being in the capital and doesn't want to leave." He sighed again, "But Cheng'er's marriage didn't work out, so the old man is a little frustrated. The next time Brother Su comes to pick him up, maybe he will go.
Already."
Feng Ziying thought: "Su Tao did a good job in Jingzhou."
Jia Cong sighed: "The Kingdom of Chu has been divided, and Jingzhou is still under the word 'Chu'. It's hard enough for him. But the people in the Chu Kingdom still respect him. I'm afraid that the old man will get used to staying in the north and go to the south."
I don’t accept it. Furthermore, our family is backing me in Beijing, and my brother Huan is always there when I’m not around. Cheng’er is like a eldest lady. When she goes to Jingzhou, will her father just find someone to marry her off? That’s really not as good as that.
Marrying Lan'er."
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"
Jia Cong waved his hand: "That's great! If they were suitable, they would be engaged early. Lan'er is honest, Cheng'er is ambitious. Cheng'er is more ambitious than Lan'er, Lan'er will be bullied, and Cheng'er will be unhappy. Cheng'er will be unhappy.
The girl has to choose someone who is clear-minded, knowledgeable and able to hold her down. It’s a bit difficult..."
Feng Ziying said disapprovingly: "How come there are so many things! Isn't it the end of the world if we are well matched?"
Jia Cong shook his head vigorously, and after a while he said: "It's not that easy to take her for granted. Anyway, she is still young, so there is no need to worry. Even if her father takes her over, with Mr. Su here, her father would not dare to give her to someone else randomly."
"That's all, no one else can care." Feng Ziying said, "When will Huan'er and Baoyu come back?"
Jia Cong grinned: "Brother Huan and his wife have been hanging out for a long time, won't he have to come back when I go back? Lan'er hasn't done anything yet. Brother Baoyu, who cares about him! As long as he writes articles from time to time for his fans
Buy it and let him shop for as long as he wants. I don’t know where he is now.”
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "I don't know where he went and he sent his wife there."
"That's an excuse for Sister-in-law Bao to go out to play." Jia Cong said, "She has never left the capital since she moved in, but Sister-in-law Huan has gone out twice to play. Can she feel better? Can't you comfort her?
.”
Feng Ziying said incomprehensibly: "How can this be true? Whose daughter-in-law doesn't stay peacefully in the backyard? Only your women have a lot of troubles in the world."
Jia Cong shrugged: "We are the only women in the world who are promising." He suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "By the way. The mastermind who kidnapped me in Chang'an, whose surname is Chen——"
"Um?"
Jia Cong lowered his voice and said, "He said that Prince Xining has a capable subordinate. Who do you think he is?"
Feng Ziying's eyes moved: "Who?"
"Our Jia Rong from Dongfu!" Jia Cong slapped the table and said, "I really don't have any eyesight! What kind of thing is that?"
Feng Ziying was silent for a moment and said: "Brother Rong has made some progress now."
"Pull him down!" Jia Cong sneered, "Brother Zhen teased his wife, and he didn't even dare to fart. That's his own wife! The matchmaker is getting married in a big sedan chair! I don't take this kind of person seriously.
.It can be seen that the Prince of Xining County is not a capable person, and the subordinates he recruited are all such people."
Feng Ziying was silent for another moment: "The more villainous it is, the more useful it is."
Jia Cong shrugged: "These villains are naturally useful when you give them benefits, but when others give them benefits, they immediately rebel." Feng Ziying lowered her eyebrows and smiled.
Jia Cong stayed at Feng's house until two o'clock before leaving. Feng Ziying did not see him off, but only allowed him to ride a horse. "Now that we have eaten and drank, it was so easy to ride back in the car." As soon as he left the outer study, Mr. Sun came out of the secret room.
Feng Ziying said with a half-smile: "Prince Xining is so discerning that he bribed Jia Rong?"
Master Sun said solemnly: "Master Feng, I know that you have been close to Mr. Jia for many years, and I also know that the prince trusts you the most. But Mr. Jia's behavior today is really suspected of forming a clique."
Feng Ziying was noncommittal: "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for your kind reminder. Prince Xining's men have many tongues, so be careful of others prying them open." Mr. Sun smiled bitterly and said goodbye.
Not long after, Mr. Sun arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion and reported back to Prince Yan everything that he had eavesdropped on today. After hearing this, Situ Pan frowned for a long time: "Now every family has placed spies outside Xining Mansion. This matter is obviously a leak.
Yes. Who do you think did it?"
Mr. Sun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wei Chen can't guess. As Jia Cong said, most of the men he picked were villains who saw profit and forgot their loyalty. I'm not sure who sold him for money."
Situ Pan said: "He himself is suspicious that Jia Cong is sincerely seeking revenge on him, so he wants to shake his bottom."
Mr. Sun said: "The prince of Xining is very prejudiced against Jia Cong. If Jia Cong has that idea, there are many ways. Jia Rong will take advantage of it. The man named Chen in Qin State is dead, and no one knows that he confessed to Jia Rong before he died.
Such a character comes out."
Situ Pan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's still the Qin State that caused the problem. Please go and check again after your hard work." Mr. Sun bowed and accepted the order.
On the other end, Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion, called Jia Lan over, looked at him for a while, and asked: "Lan'er, do you think you can take on the trouble?"
Jia Lan smiled and said, "Uncle, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Jia Cong said: "Let me tell you the truth. I'm in a hurry to go back to the south, and I don't have time to do some things and it's inconvenient to do them. You can do them for me after I leave, okay?"
"What's up?"
Jia Cong said solemnly: "Jia Rong from Dongfu has become a secret agent of the imperial court. He only cares about one thing, which is to keep an eye on our house."
Jia Lan was startled: "Brother Rong often comes to talk to me."
"So I don't know what your father said to him." Jia Cong bared his teeth and said, "I don't know what he said to his boss. By the way, his boss is not Feng Ziying."
"Is he the Prince of Xining County?" Jia Lan asked.
"Huh? Even you know about it? Where did you know about it?"
Jia Lan said honestly: "I went to have a drink with my friends a few days ago, and I listened to Fan Tou's talk at the restaurant." Jia Cong couldn't help laughing - Jia Xu was disgusted that so few people knew. Jia Lan continued, "Rong Rong
My brother is at the table. Let me tell you, why does he look a little strange?"
Jia Cong nodded, patted his shoulder and said: "Our uncles have been very busy over the years and have no time to teach you. At first we thought, you have an honest temper, and you have family to protect you, so you can live a peaceful life. Now.
Looking back at this era, it seems that no one is willing to let honest people go. You are not Jia Baoyu, and you are not made of stone. Reality forces every honest child to learn to be cunning. You not only have to learn to guard against others, but sometimes you also have to learn to take the initiative
Attack. Lan'er, let's practice with Jia Rong. Uncle asks you to deal with him without showing any trace. Remember, not only can people not find out that you did it, but they won't even suspect you.
"
Jia Lan smiled and said: "Uncle Cong, everyone in the capital knows that Uncle Xiaolan of Rongguo Mansion is honest. No one will doubt me."
"Don't take it lightly." Jia Cong warned, "Your surname is Jia, and this surname will make people not look down upon you. My uncle will only teach you a little trick: try to mobilize the personalities and behavior patterns of others, and make things happen according to your own design.
To evolve. Of course, first you have to understand your target person. Think about it now, who you are going to start with."
Jia Lan held his cheek and thought for a long time: "Since it is inconvenient to deal with him directly, let's start with Uncle Zhen."
Jia Cong tilted his head: "What else?"
Jia Lan smiled and said, "Isn't it Brother Qiang?"
