When Jia Cong heard Mr. Bai say, "A group of men in black are on the roof," he knew that the matter was not that simple. One carpenter, a fourth-grade idle official, and at most two big masters were enough to leave no one behind. Why should they?
Alarming so many "groups of people"? Either the Zhen family has many masters, or they have peacock feather-level weapons, or they have mechanisms at the level of the Chongxiao Tower Copper Network Array. And Zhen Deren is just Zhen Yingjia's brother, so the first option is basically ruled out
.From this we can also see that Zhen Deren was not someone who would just sit back and wait for death even when facing the emperor.
Jia Cong thought for a while and asked: "Aunt Bai can be Miss Fenxiang's mother-in-law. She must have stayed in the Zhen family for a long time and won the trust of Mr. Zhen Deren. According to your opinion, among the girls and young masters in their family
,is there anyone smarter than fennel?”
Bai's face suddenly showed pride: "I'm not bragging. Even the girls and young men from the Zhen Mansion in Damen Tou are not as smart as our girl! The man named Baoyu from the Zhen Mansion in Da Da Tou is coaxed by our girl.
It has to be rolled around, and it’s like kneading dough.”
Jia Cong nodded: "Zhen Baoyu must be smart." If he could be Jia Baoyu's mirror, his talent wouldn't be any worse. He then thought about it, Zhen Deren must have given away Fenxiang, the smartest among his children and grandchildren, half a year before he was exterminated.
It was not an accident, it was probably because the old man got some rumors; and the death of Bai's own daughter was probably not a coincidence, it could have been that Zhen Deren planned to use the little girl's identity to kill her. I didn't know that the two of them were sent there.
Do the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia and the old lady of the Zhen family know? He asked again, "When we arrived at the Zhen family in Damentou, didn't they match you? You were young at that time, and the men in the Zhen family in Damentou who had no wives must have also
Quite a few, who would let a slave girl let go if she can give birth to a child?"
Ms. Bai shook her head again: "No." She thought to herself, "It's strange, women of my age are actually matched with men."
"Why did you leave the Zhen family back then? You took care of your little master to survive. You would never cause trouble for no reason and let the master's family sell you."
Bai lowered her head slightly: "It's... our girl... accidentally showed her cleverness and helped two girls from other families who came to Zhen's Mansion at the gate to get out of trouble. She thought she would get a reward..."
Jia Cong said: "It's obvious that the Zhen Mansion at the gate knows your identity. Otherwise, a smart little maid in her seventies or eight years old with an ordinary appearance would not only be rewarded, but also be brought to the old lady's side to be nursed, so that she could become a big girl in the future.
Use." For example, what kind of mandarin ducks are attacking people?
Mrs. Bai was startled, gritted her teeth and said, "Do they know? They didn't take care of our girl at all, and they didn't even give us a piece of charcoal in the cold weather! After all, our master and their master are brothers!"
"Perhaps it's because you have to do all the tricks so that you don't attract people's attention." Jia Cong thought for a moment and asked, "After you arrived at Zhen Yingjia's house, did their family send anyone to greet you and inquire about anything?"
Bai shook her head: "She is just like an ordinary servant girl."
Jia Cong pinched his chin. Zhen Yingjia must know the origin of fennel. Zhen Deren did not hide his grandson, but he hid a granddaughter. Maybe he put some clues on this granddaughter. But Zhen Yingjia was not told about this, otherwise Zhen Yingjia might not dare to take her in. Naomi
Question: "Where does Mr. Zhen Deren live? On what day did the death occur in the house?"
Bai Shi trembled slightly and said: "Our master lives in Zhuzhi Lane near Qingliangmen in Jinling City. The accident happened twenty-three years ago, on the night of the ninth day of February."
Jia Cong nodded: "I'll send someone to check." He comforted her a few words, got up and went out.
Go outside and ask Wu Xiaoxi to come with you and tell her what Bai said. Wu Xiaoxi thought for a while and said, "Why did Zhen Deren hide a granddaughter but not a grandson?"
Jia Cong said: "Two different things. This granddaughter was sent to Zhen Yingjia's house because of her outstanding talent, and Zhen Yingjia definitely didn't know the real reason. She just thought that she was a clan brother and wanted to keep her roots. It can be seen that Zhen Yingjia also knew that Zhen Deren would be destroyed if he failed to protect Zhen Deren. Zhen Deren
He only dared to send his granddaughter instead of his grandson, which shows that he knew Zhen Yingjia's courage and character, and he did not dare to send a boy over for fear that he would be sold by his brothers. After all, they felt that girls were worthless, and the root cause of Zhen Deren's danger was Zhen Yingjia.
I recommended him to the late emperor, and it seems that Zhen Yingjia felt sorry for Zhen Deren. I just don’t know if Zhen Yingjia would have reported the origin of this fennel to the late emperor."
"No," Wu Xiaoxi said, "otherwise, why would they find an excuse to sell the little girl as soon as she discovered that she was very smart? The Zhen family feels guilty for hiding the person the emperor wants to kill."
Jia Cong said "Yeah": "If Zhen Deren still wants to hide his grandson, he may have thought of another way. The grandson is most likely to be the estranged daughter of one of his sons, who is only responsible for passing on the Y chromosome of their family and does not care about the rest.
Fennel has other uses. A four-year-old girl with a high IQ can already hide a lot of secrets." Jia Cong snapped his fingers with joy, "Take a walk, go back and chat with Fennel and see what clues Old Fox Zhen left.
"
Wu Xiaoxi glanced at him: "I'll write a letter."
"What letter?"
"Let the Fifth Master ask the people of the Liu family. On the night of the ninth day of February twenty-three years ago, did any of them have any missions at the Zhen Deren family in Zhuzhi Lane near Qingliang Gate in Jinling City? Why did they ask for so many people? What was the outcome?
.”
Jia Cong smiled and cupped his hands to her, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Wu is a treasure trove!"
He then went to find Fenxiang. Fenxiang had recovered now and was sitting on the porch outside the house in a daze. Jia Cong took a chair and sat across from her, looked at her and said, "She looks much better. Do you understand?"
He stood up and saluted. Jia Cong said, "I have just met your lord, and I also know a little about the Zhen family." Fenxiang was startled. Jia Cong looked at her sideways and said, "You have such a high IQ master.
Son, you left home when you were only four years old, and you still don’t know your last name? I don’t believe it. Mr. Zhen Deren must have told you something before sending you away from home.”
Fenxiang shook his head: "I don't remember."
Jia Cong said: "I don't believe you don't remember."
Fenxiang smiled bitterly and said, "I was very young at that time. How rare is it for Mr. Jia to remember what happened when he was three or four years old?"
"Remember! I remember it clearly." Jia Cong smiled and said, "I am considered smart among ordinary people, but Miss Fenxiang, you are probably smarter than me." If I hadn't used any cheats, I would definitely not have your IQ.
Gao. "I remember things when I was three years old, how can you not remember things when I was four years old? What's more, those things were specially told to you by your grandfather. Otherwise, you, a dignified young lady, suddenly become a servant of your uncle's family."
How can people not make a scene in Zhen Yingjia's house?"
Fenxiang raised her eyes and looked at Jia Cong, and saw that he was acting like "You can't fool me." He was pretending to be stupid and couldn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Grandpa told me, if that mansion treats me well, I will be able to do it when I am ten years old."
When I was two years old, I told the old lady of the Zhen family that after the death of the late emperor, no matter who the new emperor was, the Zhen family would be the first to die. If they treat me badly, let me try to escape from their family before I turn seventeen."
Jia Cong praised: "The old man is very discerning!" He added, "Gods and Buddhas can't save a person who wants to die, but they sent you away early. Besides, if you are a child, those idiots in the Zhen family won't listen.
Yes, they don’t regard you as a relative."
Fenxiang said calmly: "My grandfather was not sure either. Their family only suffered a decline, but no one died."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "That's because the world has been divided into feudal states, otherwise they will have to finish whatever new monarch comes to the throne. It seems that your grandfather did not blame Zhen Yingjia for recommending him to the emperor and pushing him into the pit of fire. Old man
My son is a kind person." Fenxiang closed his eyes slightly and his face became calmer. Jia Cong returned to the topic, "But he must not only tell you this. Otherwise, he would hide a granddaughter who cannot carry on the family line to Zhen Yingjia's house.
What are you doing? It would be great to have a grandson disguised as a granddaughter and send it to you. You can’t tell the male or female of such a young child. How can Zhen Yingjia prove that she is not a virgin?" After saying this, he couldn't help but look at the woman again - well, absolutely
It's female.
Fenxiang's brows moved: "If my grandfather knew Mr. Jia, I would not be the one who survived."
Jia Cong said: "This idea is not the first one that comes to my mind. When a family encounters a disaster, there are many families who pretend to be girls with their male grandson in order to leave a legacy. I don't believe your grandfather has never heard of it.
Your grandfather did not use this trick, but would rather give away you as his granddaughter. Do you believe it if there is no reason?"
Fennel choked him so much that he couldn't speak for a long time. No matter how smart she was, she had only lived in the back house for more than twenty years, and had heard and seen too few things. Seeing how calm and calm Jia Cong said, he really thought he was being
Many families who had their homes confiscated and exterminated had used the trick of pretending that their sons and grandsons were girls. It took a long time to think of an excuse for my grandfather to explain why he was chosen to be sent away. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Why does Mr. Jia have to know."
This is what Jia Cong was waiting for! He sighed and said slowly: "I have just told your mother, and I will tell you again. I am suspicious that our Zhen and Jia families are tied up in the same thing.
Yes, and the trouble is not small." Fenxiang was shocked. When Jia Cong was coaxing Bai, he saw that Bai mistakenly thought that he was tracking the mother and daughter here, so he thought it would be better to make the mistake. He smiled bitterly at first
, "When I was very young, I heard an expert say that the Zhen and Jia families are each other's shadow. At that time, I thought that the 'Zhen family' referred to the Zhen family that sent Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Provincial Tiren Academy, to the Zhen family. After all, our family is
We are very close friends. I have checked their family countless times over the past ten years, and they are already in ruins! They can’t compare with our family, and they even despise them. How can a family like theirs be a shadow of ours? So is Lao Cao the same?
Are you coaxing me? It turns out that there is another Zhen family in Jinling." He said sternly, "Now there is a group of people of unknown origin, who have some connection with the chief craftsman under the King of Yan. They kidnapped me a few days ago while I was doing business in the State of Qin.
Although I escaped safely later, it was clear that the matter was not over yet. In addition to looking for something that had been lost for many years in our family, those people were also looking for an old camphor wood box as big as a fist."
Fenxiang's eyes moved and she said, "It's not necessarily that the box has anything to do with our family." Jia Cong smiled at her. Fenxiang shook his head and sighed, "That's all, in front of Mr. Jia
I'm afraid it won't work if you just pretend."
Jia Cong said: "I have told your Majesty several times that our family is like a grasshopper on a rope right now. The enemy behind the scenes is so fierce that I don't know who it is. If we don't cooperate, there is no way out. It's better for everyone if we join forces. Our family
The things have been lost a long time ago, but they still haven’t let us go?”
Fenxiang thought for a while and said sincerely: "My grandfather never told me about the old camphor wood box."
Jia Cong tilted his head and looked at her for a long time, which made Fenxiang feel uncomfortable. Finally he exhaled and stood up and said: "This happened suddenly today. It's normal for you to be unable to make up your mind for a moment. It's okay. Just calm down and think about it.
Day, I believe you can figure it out with your IQ."
Fenxiang quickly stood up and performed a long blessing. Jia Cong turned around and left, saying: "Your parents have settled down. Do you want to live here alone or with them?"
Fenxiang said hurriedly: "I can just live with my mother, why bother to come and occupy an extra room."
Jia Cong didn't look back, just walked away and shrugged: "Okay."
Fenxiang came here with Mrs. Dai empty-handed and didn't bring anything. The clothes she changed in the past two days were all temporarily bought outside. Today her whole family came over and they packed her luggage for her. She then moved to her parents' house.
Went to the yard. At night, Fenxiang coquettishly wanted to sleep with her mother, so she took Bai to her room. After carefully checking the windows and doors in front and back, no one was there. The mother and son closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed to talk.
.
Bai first told what happened today. Dai Xian sent their family away very suddenly. It was an important servant beside Dai Xian who came in with the order. Because Fenxiang usually lived in Mrs. Dai's yard, all his belongings were there.
In the yard, Mrs. Bai went to pack her daughter's things, and a maid next to Mrs. Dai saw it and asked her. She then said, "Master gave our family to a friend and ordered us to pack things."
She was shocked and ran back to Mrs. Dai. Mrs. Dai didn’t know anything about it, so she came to the Fenxiang House to ask questions in person regardless of her status. When she heard that the master had given her the gift, she told her not to leave and hurried out to find Dai.
Xian. Dai Xian has not been home for many days because his son cheated on him, and Mrs. Dai didn’t know where to look. Before Mrs. Dai came back, someone came outside to urge them to hurry up. Mrs. Dai’s maid
They didn't dare to stop Mrs. Bai, so they had to watch her pack up the two bags and leave. Until Ye Laizi and Mr. Bai's family got on the carriage, Mrs. Dai hadn't returned home yet.
Mrs. Bai stroked her chest and said, "I'm extremely anxious. My wife values you the most, and I won't let you go. Fortunately, she never came back, so I must have stopped you."
Fenxiang sneered and said, "Stop it? It's hard to tell whether the wife has found the master or not. What Mr. Jia said is that the master really didn't pay attention to the wife." He then asked, "Today... what did Mr. Jia say to his mother?"
?”
Bai's face suddenly turned pale and she said, "My girl! I don't know if we can avoid this disaster." She then told her exactly what Jia Cong had said when he came to find her.
Fenxiang trembled with fright: "Mom, do you think this Mr. Jia was found from Jinling?"
Bai Shi said, "Why else would he want you for no reason?" He looked up at her and said, "You are so young, and you don't even look like he has a crush on you."
Fenxiang said: "He just sees me as smart and wants to take me under his wing."
Bai Shi said: "He said that our two families are tied together. If it was a lie, how could it lead to this? How can you imagine those things by just imagining them?"
Fenxiang was smart, so she couldn't help but think too much. She then remembered that the source of her story of Red Bones was that Mr. Jia and Shopkeeper Wu met with Dai Xian, which made Dai Xian suspicious of Mrs. Chun. He also said, "Zhen and Jia two
"Every family is like a shadow to each other." He also said that he had checked Zhen Yingjia's house countless times. It was indeed possible that he had checked it from the Zhen family in Damentou. Could it be that the incident of Mr. Dai's arrest in front of him was just that he abducted him in order to keep it secret?
A deception?
Mrs. Bai was anxious and shouted from the side: "I don't know what kind of trouble I caused back then. It seems like I can't escape."
Fenxiang couldn't help but said: "My grandfather only asked me to remember thirty-six numbers, and I don't know what they are for."
After all, Fenxiang and Bai's mother and daughter are the servants of ordinary people. They don't know that there are countless ways in the world to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Jia Cong is currently filming thighs in the darkroom next to them: "I'll go! Password!"
