Gong Kun persuaded the old man Gong Sanyi and ordered someone to call Jia Cong over. Jia Cong quickly flattered him. Several people stayed here that night. The next day, Gong Kun stayed to hand over official duties to the old man.
Jia Cong...who goes to Hong Kong with his fiancée before getting married without carrying a bag?
Chen Ruijin didn't lack anything. It's just that they were both busy and had little time to date. Now that I had free time, I took the opportunity to spend half a day with him. After wandering around for only an hour, Jia Cong's hands were full, so he simply looked for it on the roadside.
I went to a shop owned by the Jia family and asked the waiter to send him back.
Jia Cong had already moved to the later department store and supermarket model, and there were several opened in major commercial towns like Hong Kong. The two of them went to visit the largest one, called "Fuyuan Chain Hypermarket". This one was originally a substitute for Rongguo Mansion.
The dowry shop that Jia Gui prepared did not want the shopkeeper to use it, so it grew bigger and bigger. There were no barcode scanners or computers at the moment, and the three cashiers behind the three-story cash register were banging their abacus. For fear of
If the amount of money is wrong, it is stipulated that every order must be counted three times.
Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin bought some bits and pieces and were waiting in line to check out with their shopping carts. Then they heard someone shouting from behind. When they turned around, Situ Cen also pushed a small cart and ran towards him with a smile on his face.
The aunt behind the two of them discussed it and begged him to be moved to be with his friends. He was handsome and good at talking, and his few words made the aunt smile and she actually let him move in front of her.
Jia Cong laughed and joked: "People still have to live independently. Look at our A-Cen, we used to be a master who only had clothes to eat and food to open, but now we all resort to beauty tricks."
Situ Cen complained: "I called you just now, but you didn't hear me." Jia Cong shrugged and said nothing. Situ Cen glanced at the dark cashier counter and said, "These settlers are all women."
"Local Leopard! That's called the cashier."
"I wonder if I made a mistake."
"There must be mistakes," Jia Cong said. "Now that you have done it three times, the chances of making mistakes are less. And don't customers know how to settle accounts themselves?"
Situ Cen said: "If you buy too much, if you don't keep it all, the customer will make a mistake. Not everyone can do the math."
"Basically everyone can count." Jia Cong said proudly, "Adult literacy classes were opened here very early. In addition to reading, you must also learn basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This is called improving the quality of the whole people." He patted Situ Cen.
"You people in Shu are not so knowledgeable yet," he said.
Situ Cen glanced at him: "How many years have we been in school?"
When it was their turn to check out, Chen Ruijin looked at the messy grid in the cashier. There were banknotes, silver coins, and small scales for weighing, and whispered: "It's time to issue banknotes."
Jia Cong touched his chin: "Banknotes should be issued uniformly by the state. Otherwise, dozens of vassal states, large and small, will issue banknotes independently, which will lead to chaos."
Chen Ruijin said: "It's okay for the bank to move first. We really need to use banknotes now." Then he licked his lips at the cashier and said, "Look, this is a mess."
"Well... go back and discuss with the fifth aunt."
Situ Cen heard it from behind and asked, "What did you say?"
Chen Ruijin looked at him and then at Jia Cong, and sighed: "That's it, I have to talk about serious things today."
Jia Cong hurriedly turned around and told Situ Cen: "It's too complicated, let's discuss it later." Situ Cen looked at him with contempt.
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "There is no need to go shopping anymore. I have bought everything I want to buy. After paying the bill, I will find a place to have snacks." Jia Cong responded.
There was a cocoa tea shop not far from here. The two of them went over to find a seat and ordered a few things to eat. After the food was brought, Situ Cen happily followed in. Jia Cong glared: "Why are you joining in the fun? Light bulb.
"
Situ Cen said: "What important matter was Miss Chen thinking about just now?"
Chen Ruijin ate cocoa tea and said: "Not really."
"It's obvious." Situ Cen waved to the store owner to order.
Jia Cong was annoyed: "Hey, we are a young couple going on a date. Why are you, a single guy, coming over here?"
Situ Cen said sternly: "I'm sorry!" Jia Cong kicked him but could not drive him away.
For a while, Situ Cen talked about his travels in the West. Although Jia Cong had read a lot of information and movies and TV series in his previous life, he had never been to Europe in this time and space, and what he said was interesting, so that was all. After all, he didn’t mention anything serious that day.
A few people had a half-day of leisure time, which was quite comfortable.
The next day, except for Gong Kun who still stayed behind, the others took a bus to Guangzhou. In the early years, Wang Ziteng had saved Zhen Yinglian from Xue Pan. Wei Ruoheng and his wife had been grateful for many years and had been thinking about thanking each other in person. When they came to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi
At the door of the mansion, an important steward next to Wang Ziteng came out to greet him early, pulled Jia Cong and whispered: "Your Excellency has told Mr. Cong to go to the small study in the northwest corner later. There are guests waiting for you.
" Jia Cong nodded. Everyone then followed the steward in to see Wang Ziteng. After chatting with Situ Cen for half a day, Zhen Yinglian stepped forward to thank him for saving his life.
After Jia Cong introduced them, Wang Ziteng glanced at him. Jia Cong just said that he had something to do, and he and Chen Ruijin picked up their feet and left. When they arrived at the small study room in the northwest corner of their house, they opened the door and took a look.
Slightly surprised: There is a person sitting in front of the case. It is Li Sheng, who was an assistant in the capital when Lu Sangu was still Qin Sangu in the early years. After Lu Sangu asked King Yan to send him out of the capital, Li Sheng took over all the things she was doing. Although Li Sheng is not as good as Lu Sangu
Cai was also a rare person who could speak well under King Yan. Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, while Chen Ruijin quietly hid himself.
Li Sheng looked anxious and stepped forward and called Qian'er: "Master Cong!"
Jia Cong had a good impression of this person and bowed: "Why did Shopkeeper Li come to Guangzhou?"
Li Sheng suddenly stumbled: "Please, Mr. Cong, please come back to the capital with me right now!"
Jia Cong frowned: "Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, what happened?"
Li Sheng shook his head and said: "I can't explain clearly. The prince is also confused, and he is afraid that he will depose the prince."
"Ha?!" Jia Cong was shocked, "A good deposed prince? Isn't it true that the prince is better than his superiors and more than his inferiors?"
Li Sheng ignored his inappropriate words and spoke quickly. The details of this matter were kept secret from the outside world. He only said that clues suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The prince himself hurriedly interrogated several people and actually identified his second son Situ Yu.
It was the eldest son who planned to kill him. Now the prince has been locked up in a small courtyard in the mansion, which is no different from being imprisoned. Feng Ziying only felt that there were many doubts about this matter, but King Yan couldn't listen to it. The princess was also causing chaos in the mansion. She wished she could
Kill the eldest son to avenge the second son.
However, Feng Ziying's position was the most taboo about being involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne. She didn't know what was going on, and she was afraid that the prince might be wronged, so she asked Jia Huan to ask. It was rare for Jia Huan to take the initiative to ask for an audience with King Yan, so he asked the old man to block him after he opened his mouth.
Feng Ziying had no choice but to ask Li Sheng to look for Jia Cong. Li Sheng took over the affairs of Qin Sangu back then and became King Yan's money bag - although the money was less than before, it was still a money bag. He was around
How could there not be someone arranged by the top? He didn’t dare to go to Taiwan openly for fear of attracting suspicion. He only said that he was coming to Guangzhou to discuss business, and by the way, he paid homage to Mr. Wang Ziteng on behalf of Mr. Feng Ziying. It was a coincidence that he came, because Wang Ziteng had married Jia.
After receiving Cong's letter, knowing that he was going to personally bring Wei Ruoheng and his family over, he asked Li Sheng to stay and wait.
After hearing this, Jia Cong took a few deep breaths. He knew very well that Situ Jian clearly asked Jia Xu to kill him. His fifth uncle did it himself and had nothing to do with anyone else. How could he involve the prince with white eyebrows and red eyes? His head was gone? So he walked around the room a few times with his arms behind his back and said, "I won't go to Beijing."
Li Sheng begged: "Master Cong, if the prince refuses to listen, Master Feng has no choice but to do anything!"
Jia Cong said: "Listen to me. If I rush to Beijing, the prince will be really hopeless." He pointed to his nose and said, "You know who I am. I tell you the truth, it's the lower world." Sashi’s.”
Li Sheng nodded repeatedly: "Therefore, no one except Third Master Cong can convince the prince."
Jia Cong said: "I'm getting married soon. If I rush back to the capital because of this, I'm afraid the prince will suspect that the destined emperor is not himself, but the heir apparent. What does a son mean in front of the country?" Li Sheng took a breath of cold air.
Jia Cong calmed down his thoughts and said: "This matter is obvious. Whoever benefits from it is the mastermind behind it. It must be the third child who did it."
Li Sheng's eyes moved, and after a while he said: "... Lord Feng guessed the same way." He paused, "Lord Feng thought that... although the Crown Prince was... more honest, His Highness the Third Highness had a wrong mind." Jia Cong Nod. To put it bluntly, Prince Yan is a mediocre person and needs the support of good ministers; the third child has a deep mind. If he sits on the dragon throne, he may not be able to benefit from Feng Ziying. Although Feng Ziying is a lonely minister, it is not that he has not thought about any mistress in his heart. It was beneficial to him to come to power. The same was true for Li Sheng, so he took the risk of listening to Feng Ziying's idea and going around in circles to find Jia Cong.
Jia Cong walked back and forth in the room a few more times and said decisively: "Check the woman next to His Highness." Li Sheng was startled. Jia Cong smiled bitterly.
Gong San also sent the femme fatale Ma Xiangzhu into the hands of the third son of King Yan's family, just to cause trouble among King Yan's sons. This Ma Xiangzhu is a courageous and careful master. From the beginning, the sister of Princess Chen seduced her brother-in-law. From King Chen to being Liu Tong's concubine and seducing Liu Tong's confidants, it was like walking a tightrope, but they were able to hide the people around them tightly. It can be seen that this woman's plan must be careful. King Yan obviously wanted her to He was blinded by the "clues and evidence" he set up. He was disappointed and angry, and could not even listen to the advice of important ministers. Fortunately, the prince was his eldest son after all, and King Yan was not a heartless person and would not kill his son rashly. , leaving time for Feng Ziying and others to operate.
Jia Cong took a sip of tea and said: "The prince refused to listen to the advice, and it was obvious that he was blinded. If a wise man is tricked, he must control his emotions exquisitely. Women are the best at controlling a man's emotions. 'Deceive' For this kind of thing, many clues must be released in a short period of time. The person involved must be forced to look forward and backward, taboo about this and this, and dare not disclose the truth. He thought that it would be very embarrassing if he disclosed the truth, but he did not know that this 'truth' would definitely have loopholes. There are so many things. And those who are good at setting up such traps are mostly women." He looked at Li Sheng and said, "Women know the secrets in the backyard best, and know the most shameful things."
"Third Master Cong thinks it was the Third Highness's concubine who did it?"
"It may not be a concubine, it may be a good friend, or it may even be a fan." Jia Cong said with a smile, "Don't look down on fans, there are also geniuses among fans. Brother Feng must first figure out what happened before he can prescribe the right medicine."
Li Sheng thought for a long time: "Third Master, guess what?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "I can't guess. But the prince will always calm down. You can find someone else who is loyal and upright. I don't know who is loyal and upright. Anyway, if the prince is wronged, there will always be a great scholar who is willing to come forward. Let that person be the same."
Your Majesty, go ahead." Li Sheng couldn't help but nodded.
Jia Cong drank Huizi tea again and said: "It is entirely possible that His Highness the Second Highness wants to kill the Crown Prince. But the Crown Prince will never kill His Highness. It's simple, there is no need. Killing brothers is too risky.
There is absolutely no need for the prince to do anything wrong. Even if there is any dissatisfaction or even deep hatred between the brothers - such as the hatred for taking away his wife or something like that, the prince can tolerate it and wait until he comes to power to take revenge."
Li Sheng said: "What if someone says that the Crown Prince Xu is worried that his brothers will take away his Crown Prince's crown?"
Jia Cong shook his head: "We can't take it away. The Yan State has a large number of good generals and loyal ministers. Even if a mediocre lord takes the throne, they can assist him in creating a peaceful and prosperous era. To put it bluntly, a mediocre lord is more suitable than a capable lord as the next king of Yan.
The prince is currently expanding the territory, and the one behind him should be more stable. If he is too ambitious and thinks about surpassing his father's achievements, he will definitely be warlike and happy with achievements. And the newly expanded territory is not yet stable.
If you are too anxious, you will easily collapse."
Li Sheng said: "That's what I mean too."
"Therefore, the prince does not have to do anything. He can just sit and wait for his inheritance. It is only because his other brothers want to kill him, but there is no reason for him to want to kill others." Jia Cong said, "Normally the yamen
Anyone who investigates a case knows that before a murderer is determined to have committed a crime, he must find his criminal motive: that is, why he committed the crime. If there is no reasonable explanation for the criminal motive, no matter how much other evidence is there, it will be useless. The prince, there is no criminal motive for killing his brother. 2.
His Highness's death must not have been caused by him; someone framed him."
He spoke categorically, and Li Sheng nodded repeatedly: "Third Master's words make sense."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It is not easy to frame the crown prince, and it is even more difficult to deceive the prince."
Li Sheng was stunned and sighed: "Why bother..." Jia Cong shook his head and sighed.
As if he had taken reassurance, Li Sheng said a few more words to him and left in a hurry. Chen Ruijin came in from outside and asked, "Do you want to support the crown prince of Yan?"
"No -" Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "I can't care!" He pulled out the chair for her and waited for her to sit down before saying, "Brother Feng and Li Sheng are obviously looking forward to the crown prince coming to power. If I don't want to
If you can coax this Li Sheng away, he will definitely stay and harass me. We are getting married soon! Who cares if the son is thousands of miles away?" Jia Cong waved his hand, "Send him away quickly, otherwise the honeymoon will happen.
They harass me to death!"
Chen Ruijin pursed his lips and smiled, then thought for a moment: "In that case, I still have to keep that Ma Xiangzhu."
"Ah? She has completed her mission, why is she still here?"
Chen Ruijin said, "Anyway, you managed to keep her." Jia Cong blinked, not knowing why. Chen Ruijin said, "Mr. Gong's strategy has its own uses."
Jia Cong pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what use that woman had, so he could only say: "That's all, it's always right to listen to your wife."
