Feng Ziying was a smart person. After following Jia Cong around, he understood that this little brother might not be able to stop him. And what he said was true, even if he didn't join the gang now, it would be good to leave a way out.
He then made up his mind. The two of them returned to Jia Cong's outer study and sat down. They had tea, snacks and chatted for a while like normal people. Feng Ziying then asked Qin Sangu where her husband came from. Jia Cong asked.
He waved a finger in the air: "Jin, Yi, Wei!"
Feng Ziying took a breath and murmured: "No wonder he was able to kill King Yan's son."
Jia Cong asked: "Whose Jinyiwei is it? At first I thought it was under your control."
Feng Ziying said: "Until the late emperor died, the royal guards were in his palm. Liu Dengxi helped the Supreme Emperor get some people inside, but not many. Then they dispersed because there was no owner in the world. From the beginning to the end, they never passed the hands of King Yan.
.”
Jia Cong touched his chin: "But the files and documents in Jinyiwei are in your hands."
Feng Ziying said: "Most of them are in my hands, and some confidential files have been destroyed..." He glanced at Jia Cong, "Is it not destroyed? In the hands of Mr. Jia Wu?"
"I don't know." Jia Cong said, "I haven't asked about that matter. Anyway, my fifth uncle is here."
"Do you really believe in your fifth uncle?"
Jia Cong took a sip of tea with a smile: "I believe in the fifth uncle. Brother Feng, let me tell you a gossip. When do you think the third aunt was willing to marry my fifth uncle from the bottom of her heart?"
"when?"
"When my fifth uncle took her to our ancestral grave in Jinling to pay homage to my grandfather," Jia Cong said, "When you live your whole life, you must have a few people you truly trust. Otherwise, you won't be able to accomplish great things."
Feng Ziying said: "After the big thing is accomplished, will it change?"
"It's happiness to have someone you trust. In order not to lose this happiness, we must put an end to the sad ending of 'changing your mind after a big thing is done' from the system." Jia Cong raised the teacup, "Brother Feng must not be in a hurry to leave and stay.
Come and see more. Even the air is free when you are with us."
Feng Ziying thought for a moment: "I want to meet your fifth uncle."
Jia Cong said: "Theoretically, we should come to visit you. It would be better to wait for the third aunt to come back and let her receive you as the hostess. After all, you two have been friends for many years, and you will definitely have a lot to talk about. I will invite five people tomorrow.
Uncle, come over? Or make an appointment for you two at a restaurant or restaurant to meet?"
Feng Ziying said: "Let's meet outside." Jia Cong nodded. Feng Ziying stretched out her fingers and flicked the tea cup in her hand, "Who killed Concubine Hui?"
"I," Jia Cong said, "At that time, the female guards of Dauchi followed her with Zhou Damei as their capital. Unless she died, these female guards would not be easy to disperse." Feng Ziying did not understand. Jia Cong explained, "As the saying goes, a tree can fall down a hozen."
As long as Concubine Hui is alive, it would be too much effort for the female guards of the Chen Kingdom to leave her and find their own way. Once she dies, she can trick Zhou Damei into going to Java to find her sister, and the female guards will be easily disbanded."
"Why are you so afraid of the female guard?"
Jia Cong held his chin and said leisurely: "It's not fear, it's resistance and disgust. I think people should have the right to choose. Ouchi guards, regardless of gender, have no choice. They have been trapped in the palace like animals since they were very young.
In the middle, they are trained and raised like robots, living and dying for others, and insults must be regarded as gifts. Ordinary people's slaves still have some personality, not to mention personality, they are not even allowed to have preferences. People should be a kind of extremely talented people.
A creative creature. Otherwise, how could we have invented a steam engine or a wireless transmitter? You don’t even know how much effort I put into coaxing my wife into becoming a normal woman."
Feng Ziying looked at him with a strange look for a long time and said: "You and Jia Baoyu are indeed brothers."
"Ah? Jia Lian and I are brothers. Thank you."
Feng Ziying shook her head: "It's different. You are different from Jia Lian, but the same as Jia Baoyu. It's just that you can do more than him."
Jia Cong pursed his lips: "I know that Brother Baoyu also has a simple concept of equality... Otherwise, how could he touch the hearts of girls who have been there for hundreds of years? I am not good at all. He really respects every beautiful woman for herself. I
No. I want every talent to be able to maximize their abilities to promote the development of the times, so that our clan can expand rapidly - because we are already far behind, we must run quickly to catch up with the Westerners. Talents with high martial arts values are piled up in the palace.
It is a huge waste to use the hospital just to protect the emperor's family. In short, Brother Baoyu is not utilitarian, but I have a purpose."
Feng Ziying sighed softly and thought about what he had just said, and suddenly realized that she had missed something important: "You said, 'Trick Zhou Damei into going to Java to find her sister'?"
"Um."
"Could it be Zhou Xiaolan, the leader of Java?"
"Sisters."
Feng Ziying responded: "Zhou Xiaolan is also the female guard in the big house?"
"That's right! When King Chen took her from Qiongzhou to conquer Japan, there were no women around to take her in, so Rui Jin and I took the opportunity to persuade her to leave." Jia Cong said proudly, "What if we didn't have to do it?
Chai Huo, maybe she will accept her fate and become King Chen’s little wife, and we won’t have cocoa tea at all now!”
Feng Ziying raised her eyes and looked at him for a long time: "Then...do you have anything to do with the Dauchi Liu family?"
"I was also the one who persuaded them to leave. Their family had always lived in the palace. I played tricks with the Liu family man twice, and made him believe that their master no longer existed in the Forbidden City. They had to deal with other people outside, didn't they? Slowly
I was tainted with the smell of fireworks, and I also learned that I should charge bodyguard fees to protect the safety of others. If I don’t like it, I can resign and leave. I heard that they are also separated now. It’s like a bird that has eaten all its food and threw it into the forest, leaving a vast white land. It’s so clean!”
Feng Ziying couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Clean? So many masters suddenly lost control and couldn't mess up? No wonder there are so many rangers popping up in the capital."
"Oh, them!" Jia Cong touched his chin. "It's really possible." Feng Ziying gave him a sideways look.
That night, Jia Cong went to Jia Xu's place for a stroll. The next day, the two spy chiefs Feng Ziying and Jia Xu met at the Hantang Wine Shop in the north of Dajiala City.
This Han and Tang wine shop has three floors. The top floor is actually three large octagonal pavilions, connected by short corridors. When Feng Ziying arrived, Jia Xu was already waiting. He only took one look at this person and knew why the Shi Taijun had to take him out of the hotel.
The Rongguo Mansion cannot get rid of it. The old people say that Jia Baoyu looks like his grandfather, but Jia Baoyu is a white-faced scholar, and his demeanor is far from that of Jia Daishan, a warrior on the battlefield. Feng Ziying met Jia Daishan when he was young, and it happened to be Jia Xu
At this age - the two of them really look alike! Jia Xu stood up with a smile and clasped his fists: "Master Feng, I have long admired your name." Feng Ziying returned the greeting, and the two sat down as host and guest.
Feng Ziying said: "Master Jia Wu is probably deceiving me a lot."
Jia Xu did not deny it at all, and said with a smile: "The situation has no choice. Mr. Feng is also a person. What should we do if it is found out?"
Feng Ziying hummed: "The fifth master is too modest. Since the previous dynasty, only the Jin Yiwei has been checking others. How can anyone else check the Jin Yiwei?"
Jia Xu said: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. The Jinyiwei has long since disappeared. Now Mr. Feng is just like the Jinyiwei back then."
Feng Ziying shook her head. After a while, she asked: "Why did you coax the shopkeeper Qin San?"
Jia Xu pursed his lips: "Why are you coaxing? Are you chasing me? You racked your brains to dig out the little ones. It's not easy to marry a wife." His expression and tone were very similar to Jia Cong.
Feng Ziying was stunned, and sighed for a long time: "She also has a hard life. The fifth master treated her well."
Jia Xu said with a smile: "Master Feng said the opposite, I need her to treat me well. I'm usually the one who gets bullied."
Feng Ziying knew that this man must be an old fox, and he should be suspicious of everything he said; but this sentence was very real, and he took it as the truth, and nodded secretly in his heart. He then asked: "There are many missing files in the Jinyiwei Yamen, and they are all very important. But. In the hands of the Fifth Master?"
"Some of them are in my hands, and a lot of them were destroyed in the chaos of war. Master Feng, is there something you want to check?"
"It comes in handy from time to time."
"I have entrusted a middleman in the capital. Mr. Feng can contact him."
Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Master Wu, aren't you afraid that I will arrest your people?"
Jia Xu took a sip of wine and said slowly: "If Mr. Feng was a pedantic person, he would not have defected to King Yan back then; besides, he is not my person, he is just a middle-aged man. If you catch him, just catch him. I will Have you ever caught such a person?"
Feng Ziying nodded: "That's true." After a pause, "Fifth Master, do you think Cong'er's temperament is not suitable for being a master?"
Jia Xu burst into laughter: "This is not the first person to mention this matter. He is really not suitable to be the master, and he is not the master. He is a leader. The master is most afraid that the people below him will be stronger than him, and the leader only wants his own people to be stronger than him. You, brother Feng, just rest assured, you are looking down on Cong'er, and you know his temperament better than I do. If you are still hesitant, why not wait for the third aunt to come back? You will understand naturally just by looking at her." Feng Ziying nodded slightly. Jia Xu smiled and said, "If I have something that I need Mr. Feng to help me check, can I go to Mr. Feng? I'll pay you for the labor."
Feng Ziying didn't expect to be in such a hurry to discuss a partnership with him, but she was stunned when she heard the word "labor fee". However, the look on Jia Xu's face didn't look like a joke. "Fifth Master, are you serious about what you said?"
"Seriously." Jia Xu said sternly, "It's rude to come and go without reciprocating. In fact, our two families have no conflicts and can cooperate." Feng Ziying looked at him for another half day, while Jia Xu drank indifferently.
Feng Ziying then lived in Dajiala and went out for a walk every day. One time, Chen Ruijin went to Dajiala Armed Police School to provide teaching guidance, and Feng Ziying followed him to have a look. When the students were roaring and punching, suddenly there was a loud sound outside the teaching building opposite. A string of firecrackers came. Everyone turned to look, only to see six big characters written on a row of bright glass windows on the third floor: Chen Ruijin, I love you. The students burst into laughter.
Feng Ziying wondered: "How did he write it? Did he write it backwards?"
Chen Ruijin glanced at the window with a smile: "The writing is so ugly, isn't it just written backwards inside?"
"He's quite interesting. Don't you mind his arrogance?"
"It's a bit disgusting. He comes here every now and then, and it's quite interesting to see him too much." Chen Ruijin said, "Nowadays, young people have imitated him, and there are all kinds of confessions everywhere. Jia Cong said that only by letting go of your heart can you If you open your mind, their generation will surely produce many inventors." Feng Ziying thought silently.
After living like this for a month, those people who went to Guangxi to inspect steam coal diggers came back. Jia Lian and Jia Cong personally led some people to the Zodiac Square to greet them, and Feng Ziying was among them. The first person to get off the carriage was Lu Sangu Feng Ziying immediately understood what Jia Xu said, "You will understand it just by looking at her." Where is the third shopkeeper in the west of the city? He is more dignified than the court officials. Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, got off the carriage behind. Although his face was full of wind and frost, , but high-spirited. On the contrary, she was water-soluble. Although she was white, fat and fat, there was a slight sadness in her eyebrows. The Javanese heroine Zhou Xiaolan actually had murderous aura. About an hour and a half later, Sangu Lu had changed into the clothes she usually wears when meeting guests, and came to Jia's house in person. The guest house invited Feng Ziying to come over and have a chat.
Feng Ziying was shocked when she entered their house. She had never thought that this old friend's home looked like this. Although Qin Sangu was rich in her early years, she lived very simply in food and clothing, and even the newly made clothes were simple. Color - she is a little widow after all. Nowadays, everything in this house is exquisitely decorated and luxurious. There is not much gold and jade, but there are many antiques, and there are all kinds of foreign antiques. Lu Sangu herself is also very luxurious in her dress, even more than the empress in the palace. Nothing less.
Feng Ziying asked curiously: "Why do you... start to like these things after we are married?"
Lu Sangu said: "There is no woman who doesn't like to dress up. You can't be arrogant in Beijing. If I dare to dress like this, the shopkeepers below me will have to follow the extravagance. I don't earn all the money for myself, don't I have to pay for it? Then? Yes, even a widow is afraid of people gossiping."
Feng Ziying nodded and followed her around, only to discover that there were more strange things - Jia Cong showed him around the institute and didn't see everything. There were many that were used for daily use. For example, With the pedal sewing machine, women can save a lot of effort when making clothes. There is also a small charcoal pencil sharpener, and even charcoal pencils are easier to use than writing brushes. Feng Ziying sighed: "Cong'er really just wants to save manpower."
"It not only saves manpower, but also provides daily convenience." Lu Sangu said, "There are many convenient things." She pointed to a Western painting on the wall and said, "That was painted by the Western inventor Leonardo da Vinci. This man is a genius. , Cong'er ordered people to go to the West to collect the blueprints of his invention, and sent them to the research institute for our people to study. The bicycles running all over the streets today are modified based on his blueprints."
Feng Ziying said: "Since he is an unparalleled genius, why didn't you invite him here? Didn't you invite many Westerners to work?"
Lv Sangu laughed: "I have been dead for almost three hundred years!" Feng Ziying suddenly realized. Lv Sangu added, "Arms factory, Cong'er only showed you the firearms assembly factory, right?" Feng Ziying nodded. Lv Sangu looked up at Da Vinci's painting He said, "Many of this man's inventions and drawings can be used in military industry, or can inspire military industry. Gliders, propellers, parachutes... Fortunately, the Western monarchs three hundred years ago had no vision, and these things would have been buried. Otherwise, they would have been buried. , the Westerners may have captured our country long ago." He briefly talked about the functions of Da Vinci's mechanical invention.
Feng Ziying was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat: "...Three hundred years ago?!"
Lu Sangu nodded: "Our country is not the only one with mediocre masters."
Feng Ziying shuddered again: "Thanks to the gods and Buddhas, the West also has mediocre masters."
Lu Sangu said: "Thank God, there are mediocre masters in the West." Jia Xu was eating tea outside. When he heard this, he laughed and sprayed tea all over the floor.
