By the way, Jia Cong and Feng Ziying did not waste any time and went straight to the Jingdezhen Ceramics Specialty Store on Zhongshan Avenue. Standing at the door of the store, Jia Cong frowned and said: "This store is quite expensive. I have visited it several times.
, you should have been suspicious a long time ago.”
Feng Ziying jumped off the horse and asked casually: "What's the matter?"
"How do they maintain such an expensive storefront and such a cold business?" Jia Cong also jumped off the horse, "If you use your brain a little, you should know that they are either doing something illegal, or they are not planning to make money. Opening a shop
If it’s not just to make money, there must be other reasons that are not easy for others to know.”
Feng Ziying smiled and said: "That's true." He raised his chin towards the store and said, "Xie Jing makes a lot of money in Jiangxi."
"Isn't the banditry so powerful? He also raised bandits?"
Feng Ziying said calmly: "He wants to raise it, but he can't." The prince does not allow him to have soldiers and horses, whether they are serious troops or bandits. "I have to collect some other money to supplement the family income. If you can't control the bandits, you can't achieve political achievements."
, If you can’t achieve political achievements, you won’t be famous. Fame and fortune must be the same, right? Otherwise, he, an uncle from the capital, has spent more than ten years in Jiangxi?"
Jia Cong blinked and said, "I just think he is a shrewd person."
Feng Ziying tied up the horse and said: "Of course he is smart. One year to clear the prefecture, ten years to make money. Besides, there are many taxes in Jiangxi that cannot be collected elsewhere. People from all over the country go there to do illegal business. Even if they don't
The gangster eats the black, scraping off layers of oil and water, which is many times more than elsewhere. Prince Qian didn't bother to care about him, saying that it was not easy for him to guard a bandit's den. "
...It’s amazing! Jia Cong clicked his tongue and said: “What you said makes sense, I can’t even refute it.” He also praised, “It turns out that Xie Jing has been collecting taxes from the underworld all over the country for these years. Not only is this person not a criminal
A mediocre person is actually very capable!" He shook his head again, "You see, ambition is a waste of talent."
The two walked into the shop side by side, and a young waiter came forward to accompany the guest. Jia Cong greeted the guest and said: "My surname is Jia Ming Cong, and I am the younger brother of Jia Lian, the prefect of Taiwan. This is Lord Feng Ziying, the son of Lord Feng Tang, the governor of Japan."
The two of us would like to see Mr. Xie Jing, the governor of Jiangxi Province, so please let me know."
The young boy was stunned. After a while, he turned to look at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper had already run over to beat Qian'er. Jia Cong smiled and said, "Did you hear clearly what I just said? Do you want to say it again?"
The shopkeeper's face turned pale, and he bowed and said, "I heard you clearly. Sir, please sit down for a moment." He hurriedly ran back.
Not long after, Xie Jing came out, his face was as golden as paper and he cupped his hands: "You two are really rare guests."
Both of them smiled brightly and returned the gift. Feng Ziying said: "Thank you, brother, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are well."
Jia Cong said: "Thank you, brother! Brother Feng is a rare visitor, but I have been here several times. Although your goods are not bad, the prices are really not cheap. I don't give you any discounts if I want to buy anything."
Xie Jing hurriedly said: "Brother Jia's shopping will naturally be discounted."
"How much discount?"
Xie Jing smiled bitterly: "Don't beat around the bush, you two are definitely not here to buy porcelain."
"Of course." Jia Cong said, "We are here to inform you that we just took off Han Quan's bellyband, and the handkerchief on the middle layer has Han Quan's birthday and the names of Han Quan's parents written on it.
We would like to hear from Mr. Xie whether this child is that seventh child or is he really Han Quan."
When Xie Jing first heard that he had removed his bellyband, he suddenly felt cold; after hearing this, he became confused. "Han Quan's horoscope?"
"Well, Han Quan's horoscope, I can't remember the details. There is another line, 'Guozijian Xuezheng, son of Han He in Xiangyang, wife Zhao'."
Xie Jing was stunned, his face turning white and black in turns. After thinking for a long time, he said honestly: "I don't know."
Jia Cong and Feng Ziying looked at each other and said, "If it wasn't done by gods and Buddhas, I guess it was your sister Xie Guiren who wanted to take off this royal status for her son."
Xie Jing suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out: "Impossible!" His face felt as if someone had hit him in the head with a stick.
Jia Cong spread his hands: "Then who do you think did it?"
Xie Jing said anxiously: "How difficult it was for her to give birth to this child in the palace, and how difficult it was for her to raise her to the age of three!"
"You also know that it is difficult to raise a child in the palace. Since entering our house, Quan'er has never been in danger and is extremely safe. It is not difficult at all to raise such a big child easily."
Xie Jing hadn't heard what Jia Cong said yet, so he thought to himself: "Why is she in trouble? Isn't it because the child is a dragon?"
"Wrong! The logic is reversed." Jia Cong said, "It is not because the child is a dragon that Xie Guiren is willing to raise him with difficulty. It should be because the child is her own, so she must raise him even if it is difficult.
If it can make it less difficult for him to grow up, I would rather he not be a dragon. Xie Guiren is only for the good of her children, even if the children no longer recognize her as their mother in the future, she will be willing to do so." He looked at Xie Jing sarcastically, "
It’s not like some fathers who only want their children and their children to risk their lives for them.”
Xie Jing argued: "Where does the word risking one's life come from?"
"Didn't Mr. Xie survive a narrow escape in the palace? Don't your family know that the harem eats people without spitting out their bones? How difficult it is to raise them to the age of three." Many years ago you came to me to ask about the Wanli Blue and White Dinosaur.
Wasn't Quan'er almost stillborn?"
Xie Jing left him confused. "The harem has been like this since ancient times. How can we expect the two of them to risk their lives?"
Jia Cong twitched his lips: "Did Mr. Xie want to enter the palace on his own? Didn't your family send her there? Didn't your family know that the harem was dangerous before sending her there? If you knew, why would you send your daughter there?" Nai hummed,
"We are all foxes of thousands of years, what kind of gossip are we playing! It's not that your grandfather and your father have done many illegal things, and they owe hundreds of thousands of money to the treasury and are unwilling to pay it back. I'm afraid that after the death of the old saint, the new emperor will settle the score.
So he sent his daughter to the palace to pay off the debt. Of course, Xie Guiren herself is not valuable. If she gives birth to a son, the emperor's son will be valuable, and maybe it can offset the things your family has committed and the money you owe."
He just kept talking, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly realized and said "ah". Isn't it the same with Jia Yuanchun in the original work? In the Rongguo Mansion, even a slave could dominate outside, and Jia Yuan
From pardoning Jia Lian to Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, to Mrs. Wang accompanying Zhou Rui's son-in-law Leng Zixing, who has not violated the national law? Most of them owed 800,000 yuan to the treasury and refused to pay it back. After all, it was a pie in the sky, and Lin Hai died.
, Baba sent a windfall of three to five million silver, but anyone who is sober should immediately return it to the national treasury. But these fools who are used to pomp and show actually used the money to build some kind of grand view garden, and blatantly told the emperor:
I have money! I have a lot of money, more than what I owe you! I just won’t pay it back! What can you do to me! In the end, even if I thought about it, I couldn’t afford to pay it back. I sighed with emotion, kept quiet for a moment, and said sincerely:
"Brother Xie, there is something I don't understand. Can you tell me about it?"
Xie Jing had just told him that his face was red and he didn't know where to put his limbs. After hearing this, he was no longer embarrassed and sighed: "Just ask."
Jia Cong said: "You all know that the palace is full of beauties and extremely dangerous. Women are worthless once they enter the harem. It's not that you don't know, right." Xie Jing was stunned for a while, then nodded. Jia Cong continued, "You guys
Everyone has read history books and knows that every emperor has many sons, and emperors have killed their sons everywhere since ancient times. In front of you is the example of Prince Yizhong, Chitose, whose blood has not yet dried. Therefore, why do you think that the palace
If a daughter gave birth to a prince for the emperor, the emperor would pardon the sins of the prince's mother's family? I'm really not mocking you, I really can't figure out this logic. Because our family almost made this mistake, which made me grow up.
My sister was sent to the palace. If the old lady of Nan'an County hadn't gone to the palace to beg a beauty for her son, our family might have followed the same path as yours. What did you and my second uncle think?
I can't figure it out."
Xie Jing saw that he didn't really look like he was faking, so he shook his head and said, "It's just a gamble." He was a little more sober now. "In the history books, in addition to the emperor killing his son, there are also cases where the maternal family gained power. When Yang Guifei was favored,
The entire Yang family's chickens and dogs ascended to heaven."
Jia Cong said: "However, which of these powerful wives ended up well? Didn't Yang Guozhong ruin a prosperous Tang Dynasty and punish his family?"
Xie Jing said: "I don't want to be like Yang Guozhong. I just hope that after the old sage Long Yu Bintian, the sage can see the seventh prince's face and let us live in the house."
Jia Cong said: "Isn't it because the treasury is empty and you don't pay back the money that the saint wants to destroy you? Although the seventh prince was born to Mr.
What does the Xie family have to do with it? The worst case scenario is to replace him with a mother. Stealing people's money is like killing parents. Do you really think that a young child can have such dignity that it can offset hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? If your Xie family is going to be completely broke.
, But now, Brother Xie, you find out that your steward has embezzled hundreds of thousands of public accounts. The girl in charge is your concubine, and she has also raised a young bastard for you. What will you do? Will you look at that little concubine?
Can I save the public account of hundreds of thousands of yuan in the face of my concubine?"
"This..." Xie Jing felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Jia Cong looked innocent, holding his cheek and looking at him eagerly for the answer. After half a cup of tea, Xie Jing said in a hoarse voice, "We... never thought
These……"
Jia Cong scratched his chin: "Then... didn't the saint praise my second brother Lian after our family paid back the money from the treasury? You didn't get much inspiration and thought about paying back the money from the emperor's family?"
Xie Jing said: "Not to mention that except for your family, no other family has paid back the money; besides, how miserable life will be without money? Who is willing to hand over their own money?"
... Jia Cong was speechless. The sentence "That's what you borrowed" was stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it. The other sentence "Isn't it sad that the emperor has no money?" couldn't be said. After a long while, he spread his hands and said: "I know you guys
Why do you have to force Quan'er to do it?" Nai stood up, "Unfortunately, Han Quan is our child. If someone wants to force him to do something he doesn't want to do," he said with a smile.
, "Why don't you give it a try, I don't know what I can do." Then he turned to look at Feng Ziying, "I have nothing to say, I'm going back first." He clasped his fists, picked up his feet and walked away.
Seeing that he had taken six or seven steps without looking back, Xie Jing shouted like a gamble: "Since the Seventh Prince is your child, isn't it better to support him than to support some Prince Yan from outside the Eighth Route?"
Jia Cong opened his mouth and said: "Since ancient times, how many emperors have destroyed the biological mother's family, let alone the adoptive mother. The two things in the world that cannot stand the test of time, and will be worn away sooner or later, are the emperor's feelings and the emperor's conscience." He stopped.
Bu thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Xun Yu said that those who are good at using military force should not worry about victory before thinking about defeat. Our family is not as incompetent as yours. We can't even make money to maintain the family business, so we can only use our daughter to gamble;
They are not as stupid as your family. They think they will win even before they even take a gamble. I have heard the saying that nine times out of ten you will lose, I have heard this saying since I was five years old."
After he left, Feng Ziying and Xie Jing sat there staring blankly for a long time, not knowing what to say. After a long time, Feng Ziying said: "The prince originally ordered me to kill Han Quan." Xie Jing took a sharp breath.
Feng Ziying smiled calmly, "An Xin, since he is not the seventh prince, he is not worth killing."
Xie Jing was silent for a long time and said: "This is confidential, how did you know about it?"
Feng Ziying said: "After others found out, they wanted to use the opportunity to frame Rongguo Mansion. Unfortunately, the perjury was extremely false. I saw through it at a glance."
Xie Jing said: "Jia Cong doesn't really want to help King Yan. King Yan, King Wu, King Shu, and those overseas foreign masters Huo Sheng, Zhou Xiaolan, etc. were all used by him."
"I know." Feng Ziying said, "The prince has known it for a long time. He only wants to persuade the kings to occupy overseas lands. So what? Isn't it our prince who benefits?"
Xie Jing sneered: "How long has Master Feng been in Dajiala? Do you think this Taiwan government is under the rule of King Yan?"
Feng Ziying said: "All of these have letters back to Beijing."
Xie Jing glanced at him: "The demeanor of the people may not be able to be described on paper. Lord Feng, why not go for a walk on the street and then take a look at the school." After saying that, he actually got up and went back to the back of the shop.
Feng Ziying frowned slightly and said to the shopkeeper, "You boss is so rude." She also stood up and left.
Then he went back to Jia's house. Jia Cong had just returned home not long ago. The disciple invited Feng Ziying to go to the study room. Jia Cong greeted him and said with a smile: "I guess you two can't talk for long. You can talk.
I’ve said it all.”
Feng Ziying said: "Ask your girls and boys to bring some snacks."
"Hey, are you hungry?" Jia Cong hurriedly ordered someone to get snacks.
Not long after, refreshments were brought, and the two sat across from each other to eat and drink for a while. Feng Ziying suddenly looked up at Jia Cong and said, "I have been here for a few days, and I have walked and seen everything I should go. Cong
Son, why do I think you want to rebel?"
Jia Cong threw a piece of pineapple cake into his mouth and ate it. Fang smiled and said: "Yes~ Brother Feng, do you want to join the gang?" Feng Ziying frowned. Jia Cong took another sip of tea and said, "The third aunt has already
It’s been a long time coming~~”
Feng Ziying was surprised: "She is not in Australia?"
"She has never been to Australia." Jia Cong said, "She is our Minister of Commerce, and she is currently inspecting the steam engine project in Guangxi with the Australian leader Huo Sheng, the Javanese leader Zhou Xiaolan and other foreign leaders.
