Chapter 142 Get out of the capital and monthly pass)
This time, it’s just a short story of about 100,000 words.
For modern souls who are accustomed to millions of words of online articles, a hundred thousand words is really just an inconspicuous short story.
Of course, although the temporary plan is to write only a short story, the content is absolutely exciting. If you don't make Prince Zhongshun disgraced, it will be a failure to hide in the palace.
You can't code with a brush, but you can't use cursive script, and the speed won't increase at all.
Jia Cong planned to stay in the yard for three to five days and either finish it in one go, or at least write out most of the plot.
During this time, Chain Two was preparing to leave for Xishan.
The follow-up events of the Pai Hanako case were no longer something that he, a doctor from the Ministry of Justice, could participate in or take the lead in.
The same goes for Qiu Liang. His official position is smaller than that of Lian Er. Even if he is the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, it is hard to say whether he is qualified to participate, let alone him.
Fortunately, the incident this time was sensational enough, and the two of them had basically done their part, and with the family behind them helping to suppress the situation, there was no need to worry about problems.
This major case involved a clan general who served the country, and no one dared to tamper with it. Lian Er could safely and boldly leave the capital, a place at the cusp of the storm.
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, while preparing for departure, this guy also came to Jia Cong's yard for a walk from time to time, and happily revealed some secret information.
It can be said that the performance of Shuntian Mansion in this big case of patting flowers was quite bad. I heard that even Jin Jin got angry and reprimanded him several times.
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice on the second bus accidentally revealed that after the trial of the case is over, there will be a big turmoil in the Shuntian Prefecture, and it is estimated that the Shuntian Prefecture Yin will have to leave.
When Lian Er is promoted due to his merits, it is very likely that he will be transferred from the Criminal Department and become one of the top bosses of Shuntian Prefecture.
When talking about this, Lian Er's face was red and full of energy, and he was able to become a fourth-rank official in a short period of time. Even though he changed from a central ministry to a local government in the capital, it was still an incredible improvement.
Even if Wang Ziteng helps and works hard, he may not be able to achieve such results.
Besides congratulations, what else can Jia Cong say?
At this time, it is indeed a good choice to go out to avoid the limelight.
At least, the possible direct conflict with Prince Zhongshun was avoided!
In other words, Prince Zhongshun coaxed his men to come to the Rongguo Mansion to show off their power, waiting for the Rongguo Mansion to take action out of embarrassment, and then fight back and forth several times.
It not only shows that Prince Zhongshun is not a soft persimmon, but also can slightly divert the attention of the court officials, why not?
As a result, after waiting and waiting, Rongguo Mansion acted like nothing happened and did not react at all. This made Prince Zhongshun unhappy and even a little angry.
Damn it, a good script was wasted just because the girls didn't cooperate.
Then, the long history of Prince Zhongshun's residence came to visit him aggressively.
"If you have the ability, fight in court, but what's the point of saying harsh words in private?"
Lian Er happened to be at home and received the other party in person, but he didn't give him a good look. After the other party put up the sign of the palace, he expressed his attitude bluntly.
I don’t know how the eldest man communicated with the old lady, but in short, Lian Er took over temporarily to deal with Prince Zhongshun’s possible attack.
By the way, even though Lian Er was feeling very proud at the moment, he still felt extremely guilty when he met Prince Zhongshun.
Jia Cong came up with a bad idea. Now that he has come to this point, he might as well make it clear that he won't deal with it, and say harsh words in private and use hidden tricks. It's really too low-level and cannot be upgraded.
"But he is a prince after all!"
Lian Er also had scruples. After all, outsiders really couldn't figure out the internal affairs of the royal family. Who knew whether Prince Zhongshun might be able to stand up?
"We also have the support of nobles from the capital behind us!"
Jia Cong, however, did not take it seriously and made it very clear: "If an idle prince is bullied, the Rongguo Mansion will probably fall from the ranks of the top nobles. This is a risk we cannot take!"
"Besides, Prince Zhongshun can't use the power of the clan. The nobles in the capital are watching, so the royal family can't go too far!"
The words were said so clearly that even if Lian Er had thoughts in his heart, he could only bite the bullet and get angry.
Obviously, Prince Zhongshun's Palace Chief Shi did not expect Lian Er's attitude to be so tough. He was stunned for a moment and then became furious, put down his harsh words and walked away.
"What are you afraid of? Prince Zhongshun is so shitty right now, how can he have time to target us?"
Facing Lian Er who looked worried, Jia Cong put down his brush and flexed his wrist while saying with an annoyed smile: "I really thought the rumors outside were just falling on deaf ears!"
Because a general from the clan's auxiliary family was involved in the Hanako shooting case, Prince Zhongshun, as a leader of his family, was inevitably implicated.
Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be like a dog jumping over the wall, frequently sending his subordinates to threaten and intimidate. Isn't it just to find out the source of the rumors in the capital, and there are traces of Rongguo Mansion?
But it was a bit too late to react at this time.
There are almost several rumors outside every day. It is Jia Cong who was the instigator. Even now, I can’t figure it out. There are too many selfish thoughts of well-intentioned people mixed into it.
Even if Jia Cong wants to guide public opinion, he is currently unable to do so.
At this time, the best choice is naturally to wait and see.
Anyway, the benefits they deserve have been basically realized. As for the unlucky guy who was implicated in the Huazi shooting case, Jia Cong and Lian Er are not in a position to help.
Time flies and five days pass in the blink of an eye.
Not to mention the commotion in the capital, Lian Er was already ready to set off for Xishan at this time.
Because the application had been approved years ago, the Shangguan of the Ministry of Punishment just felt that Lian Er was lucky, and did not suspect that he was deliberately avoiding the limelight.
I don't know if Prince Zhongshun sent his confidants to the mansion one after another to make a fuss, which shocked everyone in the mansion. Feng Lazi, who was supposed to be making a fuss, has been surprisingly quiet recently and has not caused any trouble.
He was even kind enough to help with packing for departure.
Lian Er didn't care what Feng Lazi had in mind. He was naturally happy to have his leisure time. When everything was ready, he invited Jia Cong to set off with him.
"When you get to Xishan, you two brothers remember to help each other!"
It was rare that the eldest man took time away from the gentle village and held a farewell banquet in the main hall of the General's Mansion. There was no one else but the three of them.
It's really speechless to talk about it. It's obvious that Lian Er made a lot of preparations for departure, but the old lady pretended not to notice and didn't even say a word of comfort, let alone a farewell banquet.
Feng Lazi didn't know if he was confused or not, and he had no preparation or plan in this regard. As a result, the two brothers were ready to set off, and only the eldest master came forward to clear the table.
"Don't worry, sir, this visit to Xishan is just a routine matter, and you won't take the initiative to cause trouble!"
"Brother Lian doesn't have the heart to bother, and I certainly won't either. What can a white man do?"
"You guy, don't talk too much. Who knows what you will do after arriving at Xishan. Let's make a deal first, and you have to listen to me in everything after we set off!"
"In that case, I'll just be a boring gourd, I'm afraid Brother Lian won't be able to bear it!"
The two brothers chatted and laughed for a while, as if they were having a cross talk, and it was very lively.
The elder was stunned for a while after hearing this, and he was completely relieved. As long as the two brothers didn't have any conflicts, there would be no trouble in this trip to Xishan.
However, the support that should be given is not lacking at all.
First, there is a guard force of ten people. According to the elder, they are all direct descendants of Duke Rong's personal guards. They have practiced martial arts since childhood and have good fighting skills. It is not a problem to serve as bodyguards for the brothers.
Not only that, but one person was also given two name cards of the great master.
After the farewell meal, the eldest man patted his butt and left. Obviously, Wenwen Township was more attractive, and he didn't even have time to explain the purpose of the two famous cards.
When Jia Cong saw the guards supported by the ten great men, his eyes lit up and he secretly said, "What a good man."
Not only are they tall and strong, they all have a strong aura, bearing strong traces of being a soldier in the military.
Obviously, they were all trained in the way of elites in the army. They walked, sat and lay in a very orderly manner.
"I don't think I have any good skills in my hands!"
Jia Cong smiled and spoke, but his voice was not loud enough for Lian Er next to him to hear clearly.
Lian Er's expression was a little dazed, and he obviously didn't expect that the men and horses brought by the great master were so elite.
If he had not entered the Criminal Department before, or had not experienced the twists and turns of Jiangnan, he might not have taken seriously the guard who was very capable of fighting at first sight.
It was completely different now. When he saw the guards sent by the elder, he felt satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's go, let's not be an eyesore in the capital. Get out as soon as possible and feel at ease early. By the way, we can reassure some guys!"
With a smile, he got on his horse and walked slowly toward the city gate, surrounded by the elder's supporting guards.
Lian Er didn't say much. Instead of riding a horse, he got into the accompanying carriage. With the help of his servants Xing'er and Wang'er, he started his journey to the Western Mountains to avoid the limelight.
In other words, Lian Er was on a business trip, and of course it was a long trip, but no one in the house saw him off at the gate.
I won't talk about the female relatives like Feng Lazi, so I can only carry the eldest sister to the second door, but Fenghuang Dan doesn't know what to say, which is very disappointing.
Huansan knew that he and a group of his classmates, Jia Cong's younger brothers, went to the city gate to see him off.
Unexpectedly, they met Qiu Liang and the Crown Prince of Chu at the gate of the city.
Qiu Liang, that's all. Because of the big case of filming Hanako, he has become very familiar with her recently, and they often get together to discuss things. It's quite interesting that this guy can take the initiative to come to the city gate to see him off.
Of course, after this guy got to know each other, his words became quite sharp: "It would be better for you two to leave me alone to attract firepower. You have no sense of loyalty at all!"
Lian Er smiled so awkwardly, but Jia Cong didn't have any psychological burden. He rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If you don't have loyalty, you have no loyalty. It's better than staying and fighting with others..."
