It is said that Liu Xianglian was quite surprised when she heard that she was recommended by Gong Sanyi as the King of the Mountain. She frowned and thought about how to evade. Reading at Lingdian
Jia Cong knew it just by looking at his appearance, and said with a wry smile: "I guessed that Brother Liu was unwilling to do so. I just said it, just give it a try. Just treat it as a favor and listen to what I have to say, okay?"
"
Liu Xianglian originally wanted to not listen to the inside story and stay away, but after hearing this, she could only say: "That's all, just say it."
Jia Cong thought for a moment and said: "You also know that most of the people in the Taiping Escort Bureau are my father's former soldiers and his family's children. Naturally, we don't want to rebel for no reason. The reason for occupying the mountain as king is that in the early years
When they fought together, they took over my grandfather's command and became a bandit."
Liu Xianglian was stunned: "Rongguo Gong? General's order?"
Jia Cong nodded and said slowly: "This world is very small when it comes to small things, but very big when it comes to big things. For small people, there is no airtight wall in the world. Rumors fly as fast as the wind thousands of miles away. Whoever has one in his family is not very successful."
Embarrassing things can spread all over the capital immediately - whether they are true or false. Most importantly, many things that are well known in a certain circle have strayed from this circle, and people outside are not even aware of them. Those things
It's not a top secret, no one is keeping an eye on it, and there may not be any big problem if it is leaked. The strange thing is that with so many people, no one will tell it. For example, the Prince of Nan'an is the Rabbit Lord.
; and our elder brother Zhen from Dongfu forced his innocent daughter-in-law to become a monk because of a few words from a fortune-telling Taoist priest. It is the former. These two incidents have already spread outside the capital."
Liu Xianglian sneered: "Thank you so much, thank you so much for that Taoist priest."
Jia Cong smiled when he heard this and continued: "The imperial treasury is said to be rich all over the world. In fact, from the princes and princes, to the officials at all levels and even the eunuchs in the palace, there is no one who does not lend a hand. Therefore, the saint is actually very poor.
It's pitiful; what's even more pitiable is that everyone in the world thinks that he is very rich and it doesn't hurt to steal a little bit for himself."
Liu Xianglian couldn't help but laugh too.
"Soldiers need money and food to fight. Who will risk their lives without money? If there is no food to fill their stomachs, they will definitely lose in the war. If they lose in the war, they will die and lose the country. Military resources are so important, but in the early years when my grandfather was fighting
, the imperial court often failed to provide military pay or even military rations, so it just dragged on with shame."
Liu Xianglian's expression changed, and she seemed to have guessed.
"It's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. She has to fight without money or food. Therefore, my grandfather asked my fourth uncle and my father to pretend to be the chief and the second chief, and led the people to attack thousands of miles away to become bandits and rob wealthy households and passing merchants.
, to obtain military pay. After the robbery was completed, the long-overdue military pay was written off and never mentioned again."
Liu Xianglian took a deep breath and stared at Jia Cong.
"I usually listen to my father talking to the soldiers and uncles, and it seems that this matter is very common. It seems that it is not only my father and the others who have done it, but also the generals next to him. That was when the old saint was in power. Today, the saint is more
The old saint was much poorer back then. I don't believe that no one under the generals outside is robbing anyone now." He chuckled twice, "So, you see, occupying a mountain and becoming a king is a good thing in the eyes of ordinary people.
It's a big deal, and you won't do it until you can't survive. But in the eyes of these people who have been soldiers, it's just a matter of changing clothes. Naturally, there are differences with the real mountain kings. They only rob
Wealth does not kill people. And before they rob rich households, they will also snoop around to find some local tyrants and evil gentry who are unkind for their wealth, or who bully men and women. They are doing justice for heaven. They were elite soldiers of saints before, they were bandits yesterday, and they are bandits today.
My son will be a sage’s general, tomorrow I will be a water bandit, and my daughter will become a duke.”
Where had Liu Xianglian heard of this? Seeing that what he said was plain and indifferent, it was obvious that he couldn't be more serious. He actually froze for a long time like a clay Bodhisattva.
When he calmed down, Jia Cong said again: "The mountain stronghold we chose is not far away, and two days of horseback riding is enough. The terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Mr. Gong has already asked people to find out the mountain terrain. It will take about a while.
We have built houses and built paths in the past. The little life there must have been difficult at first. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once all the arrangements are in place, we should be able to live a good life. We are also planning to open a small hotel and restaurant at the foot of the mountain.
and go to a larger town nearby to open a shop. Occasionally, the Mountain King can become a small boss and go shopping in the market. The people under his command are all good and experienced. In the future, he can still use the banner of Robin Hood and just draw pictures.
The painting should not be the same as before - especially the feather, I originally painted it as an ostrich feather, but now it must be painted as a chicken feather - it will give the government the illusion of 'imitation Robin Hood'. You can also give the thief another name.
As for the reward, it's naturally easy to handle. It's a business without capital, and it's the cheapest to take advantage of others. Brothers who work hard must share more ideas. King, since he is the king, there is no need to pick the best tap.
What would people say."
Jia Cong said while looking at Liu Xianglian. When he saw the last sentence, his expression became a little relaxed.
"Of course you don't have to stay in the mountains all year round. It's common to go back to Beijing to deliver goods or attend meetings. As for whether you tell your family whether you go to do business or go as a escort, it's up to you. So you see the benefits of this.
Well, there are probably a few of them. One is that the money comes quickly, and you can also take some things that are not easy to get if you have money in an open and honest manner, so that you can pass them on to your descendants in the future with dignity; the other is that you can lead some people to
Making a cottage from scratch is also a kind of exercise, and it is always your own to develop your own skills; third, you can wander around and gain more knowledge; fourth, you can help people who are having a hard time by giving them some money, which is considered to be a good deed.
.By the way, you don’t have to worry about being retaliated against when you’re fighting an injustice, after all, you’re the king of the mountain, aren’t you?”
When Liu Xianglian heard this, she lowered her head and smiled secretly.
"Customers are naturally mainly wealthy slaves, so it is not easy to attract the attention of the government. Occasionally, when passing by a large warehouse like the Zhen family in Jiangnan where people are incompetent and waiting for death, you can also grab grass and hunt rabbits."
Liu Xianglian hurriedly asked: "How come the Zhen family in Jiangnan is a family waiting to die? Isn't it true that the holy family is strong?"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said: "The Jiangnan Zhen family and the four princes and eight princes are all waiting for death. Only our family is smart and spent 800,000 taels of silver to buy their lives. Anyway, when the old saint dies, all these people will have to find an excuse to ransack their homes - who will let
They are so rich, but the saint is so poor?"
Liu Xianglian was so shocked that she opened her mouth again and was about to ask. Jia Cong jumped in front of him and said: "By the way, we already fucked the Zhen family in the past year. Don't worry, they are still fat sheep. There are also
Now our biggest weakness is that there are too few good players. In the cottage, the first thing is to train the skills of the heroes. We have some methods for this. If Brother Liu is interested, we can do it again.
Let’s talk in detail. If you really have the ability in the future, those who are waiting to die can go for a walk. Let’s make some money and leave some money for the saint. If you are happy, you can even kill the Ningguo Mansion’s warehouse.
Anyway, if it falls into the hands of Jia Zhen and Jiarong, it is just a waste of money. I'm afraid there will be no saint left to raid the house. If we take it, we can occasionally build roads and bridges and rescue the victims, which can be regarded as a good deed for my ancestors of the Jia family."
Liu Xianglian raised her brows and said with a smile, "Cong'er...when did you become such a rogue?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I've always been like this." He looked at Liu Xianglian and said, "Why don't you, Brother Liu, stop rushing to reply and think about it for a few more days?"
Liu Xianglian had already made him feel more relaxed, so she nodded and said, "I'll think about it later." Then she added, "It's just that Jia Rong suffered a big loss today, and she won't let it go in the future."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Mr. Gong is the best at this. Those who are capable work hard, so it is appropriate to leave it to him."
Liu Xianglian glanced at him: "That's your nephew, I just worry about you."
Jia Cong snorted: "My nephew dares to rob a common girl in broad daylight. How lawless! He is not easy to teach. Now that my uncle has met him, I naturally can't stand by and watch him.
He has gone astray. Shouldn’t he come and thank me?”
Liu Xianglian couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Anyway, if he wants to file a complaint, he is looking for you, me. What does it have to do with me." After he said the words, he shook his head and said, "My boss is willing to teach me a lesson for such an idea.
You’re the weird one!”
Jia Cong raised his chin and said proudly: "Isn't that true! Oh my god, if brother Zhen and brother Rong really come to disturb me, I will have a headache. If I have a headache, I will go to my fourth uncle and have to move their big warehouse immediately." Then he smiled.
He bowed to Liu Xianglian, said goodbye and left.
Liu Xianglian sat there in a daze. He didn't know how long it took before he was about to get up. Suddenly he saw Qin Keqing leaning against a pillar not far away, like a fairy in a painting. He couldn't help but stare. After a while, he was stunned.
When she came back to her senses, she immediately jumped up and took a few steps closer, calling softly: "Ms. Qin!"
Qin Keqing saluted him, and Liu Xianglian waved her hand and said, "Haven't I already thanked him many times?"
Qin Keqing said: "This is not a thank you, but an apology."
Liu Xianglian hurriedly asked: "What does this mean?"
Qin Keqing said: "Apologise for Mr. Gong."
Liu Xianglian thought it was about recommending him to be the king of the mountain, and said with a smile: "Cong'er just told me. Mr. Gong has nothing to apologize for. Isn't this just a discussion?" Suddenly he suddenly remembered that Qin Keqing may not know that Zhan Shan is the emperor.
Is there any misunderstanding about the king's affairs?
But Qin Keqing said, "Mr. Gong asked me to apologize on his behalf because he tricked you today."
Liu Xianglian looked at her appearance and felt that it was not what he thought, so she said nothing and only signaled to Qin Keqing to speak frankly.
Qin Keqing said: "I didn't know about this at first. But if Mr. Gong discusses it with me, I don't know if I will agree to act in this play for him." Then he told Gong Sanyizhi's plan.
.
Liu Xianglian was shocked and said angrily: "That's unreasonable! It's a waste of my wholehearted admiration and trust for him to plot against me like this."
Qin Keqing bowed again. "It's just that the third master Cong said something just now. He thought it was reasonable, so he gave up his previous thoughts and sent me to apologize to the second master. He will naturally smooth over the rest of the matter, and he hopes that the second master will
My lord has a lot, so don’t argue with him.”
Liu Xianglian asked quickly: "What did Cong'er say?"
Qin Keqing told her in detail. It turned out that after she had settled her father and brother, she was going to go to Gong Sanyi for advice on how to deal with Jia Rong. Gong Sanyi's plan was already half completed, so he told her without concealment. Qin Keqing was still shocked.
At that moment, Gong Sanyi suddenly said that the sound of footsteps seemed to be that of Cong'er, so he asked her to hide behind the screen for a while before talking back. Then she heard what Jia Cong and Gong Sanyi said.
After hearing this, Liu Xianglian praised him: "What a boy!" After half a day, he realized that Qin Keqing probably knew about "occupying the mountain as king". He couldn't help but his heart was beating wildly, and his breath was a little restless.
Looking at her, "What about you? What do you think?"
Qin Keqing lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows and said, "As I said before, although I don't know about it, Mr. Gong and I have a life-saving grace, so I may not refuse him to act in this play."
Liu Xianglian suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
Qin Keqing said: "I know very well the appearance and intentions of Mr. Liu. It's just that... the second master also knows that I came here like that before." She shook her head gently, "When I first arrived at the nunnery, I
I just waited for death. Mr. Gong gave me a way to live. And the man... I can't believe it anymore. Jia Rong was also kind to me back then, but when things really happened, he was of no use. The boss and Mr. Gong
After all, they are my parents, and I have to rely on them to support my family. In today's world, it is not easy to make money, and it is even more difficult for women to make money. If it is really just me, I can still survive in the nunnery. However, my family still has to pay for it.
There are old fathers and young brothers..." As he spoke, he already shed tears, just like what people often say, pear blossoms bring rain.
Liu Xianglian originally thought that she might despise her friendship and hesitate after seeing Gong Sanyi's life-saving grace. Unexpectedly, this was the reason, and she was startled again. After half a day, he suddenly became bold and filled with passion, and stepped forward to grab Qin Keqing.
hand: "You should know that I am willing to support your family."
Qin Keqing did not break away, only shook his head and said: "I want to support my own family. I once relied on a man who had a good family background and everything. The world said that I had to cultivate for three lifetimes to get such a blessing. He finally
It was five hundred taels of silver that sent me away. Mr. Liu, don't blame me, it's not that I don't know about friendship. I just don't want to rely on others anymore."
Liu Xianglian was anxious and squeezed her hand: "How can I be the same as that Jia Rong?"
Qin Keqing raised his head and looked at him and said: "Of course I know that you two are as different as clouds and mud. How can Jia Rong compare to you? Don't insult yourself. It's just me. I don't want to rely on anyone anymore. Even in the future
Zhong'er has become a talented person, and I don't want to rely on him. Furthermore, when I got to this escort agency, I realized that the sky is high and the sky is high, and the roads are far away and the mountains are high. There are so many people, so many things, and so many places to go in the world. In the past, Ningguo Mansion was only a small square inch.
The land of Er.”
She smiled softly, making Liu Xianglian so happy that she couldn't even get dazzled.
"Cong'er once said that many women are born as eagles of the Nine Heavens, but they are hatched in cages and raised in cages and don't know they have wings. I am not an eagle of the Nine Heavens, but just a bird under the eaves, but I will eventually
I have spread my wings and flown for the past two years. If you want me to go back to the cage, even if it is a cage decorated with gold and jade, the most luxurious cage in the world, even if it is hung on the Golden Palace, I will not go in. I would rather live in the wind.
Even though the rain is falling in the small grass nest, there will always be a day when the sun shines high. I can fly twice and see the sky and the earth. Therefore, Mr. Liu, although I am a woman, I still want to rely on my own ability to stand upright in the sky and the earth.
If the second master wants to marry a daughter-in-law who stays at home and is waiting for you at the door of the house, Ms. Qin, she is definitely not a good match. If you want someone to share the same boat with you, even if the land is filled with thorns, tigers and leopards, I am willing to recommend myself.
.”
Because he broke free from Liu Xianglian's hand, he bowed deeply to him and turned around to leave.
