Chapter one hundred and forty-three cheaters and monthly tickets)
"Brother Chunran, this is the new book I have published in the past few days!"
At the gate of the city, Jia Cong handed a stack of manuscripts to the Prince of Chu who came to see him off, and said with a relaxed smile: "As for whether to send it or not, it depends on Brother Chunran's wish!"
"What are you..."
Si Ding was taken aback, took the thick stack of manuscripts, and glanced at the title - "The Legend of Wuyou Cave, the God of Kaifeng"!
I was stunned at first, but I didn't expect that the new book Jia Cong wrote in a hurry was actually a crime-solving type.
As for the specific plot, he couldn't guess.
He hadn't heard of the Worry-Free Cave either, so he just didn't know what the plot was.
After casually flipping through it, it seems to be related to the sewer system of Kaifeng City in the Song Dynasty. The time is too short and there are no clues.
It's just that Jia Cong smiled weirdly, so he didn't dare to neglect it. He nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, if there are no problems, I will publish this book as soon as possible!"
Of course, in view of Jia Cong's past ferocious "records", he did not say anything to death. He only wanted to let him have a detailed understanding of the novel before speaking.
"Then please!"
Jia Cong didn't force it, smiled and said goodbye, got on his horse and followed Lian Er's carriage, officially setting off for Xishan.
…
Lian Er's sudden departure from Beijing attracted the attention of all the court officials.
After asking more about it, I can only say that this guy is wise and made the decision to avoid the limelight early on.
The big flower-patting case that broke out during the Lantern Festival just happened to happen.
But as a result, as one of the two main protagonists in solving the Hanazi case, the pressure on Qiu Liang, the commander of the Wucheng Military and Horse Division, increased greatly.
After all, a clan auxiliary general was involved, and recently the clan government had made a decision to officially expel this guy from the clan!
This is a matter of course, but such a thing has aroused certain emotions among the clan group.
The dignified clan is living a very prosperous life now that the imperial power is stable, and there are many ways to get money.
However, the general who was expelled from the clan was a weirdo. He actually engaged in brothels, gambling houses and philandering gangs. He had completely disgraced the clan and it would be impossible to atone for his crime even if he died.
However, a good general who supported the country fell into a major scandal, and even someone like Prince Zhongshun was implicated.
Such a situation also makes the members of the clan feel worried.
It is inevitable to be a little more tolerant towards Prince Zhongshun, but even now it is not easy to go too far, you always have to take a little face into consideration.
As a result, Prince Zhongshun, who felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, vented his anger on Qiu Liang. Who told Lian Er to run fast?
Of course, at the moment, the flower-patting case is still making a fuss. Prince Zhongshun is at the forefront of the storm and does not dare to go too far. The most he can do is exert some influence and pressure. But even so, Qiu Liang is quite uncomfortable.
At this time, the Rongguo Mansion was completely acting like a coward. Even if Prince Zhongshun had any ideas, it was difficult to act, so he had to focus all his anger on Qiu Liang.
It’s really unspeakable...
Of course, there is great pressure, and Qiu Liang is a meritorious minister. As long as he does not have any problems, he, like Lian Er, can be promoted and reused.
…
Of course Lian Er didn't know how much pressure Qiu Liang, who was also a meritorious official, felt after he patted his butt and ran away.
Even if he knew it, he probably wouldn't care. A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!
There was a car and a horse, plus the young men Xing'er and Wang'er. This time Jia Cong also took the young men Wangcai with him to help him.
Coupled with the ten guards supported by the great master, unless you encounter an elite army of hundreds of people, there will be no problem with safety.
On the way, Xue Pan came with the Xue family's caravan. When he saw Jia Cong, he was so arrogant.
You have to be careful. Jia Cong was not very satisfied with the way he let himself go during the Chinese New Year. Especially in the days when the Huazi case broke out and Jia Cong was in urgent need of outside intelligence support, Xue Pan was nowhere to be seen.
There is nothing to say. After the classes in Ethnic Studies resumed, Xue Pan suffered inhumane torture. The figure that had swelled up from eating and drinking during the Chinese New Year was reduced in just a few days.
After such a painful experience, Jia Cong invited him to go to Xishan together, and naturally he immediately agreed to execute it without reservation.
By the way, we brought in a caravan belonging to the Xue family.
"Third brother, you are so talented. You managed to keep this stupid overlord in check. The resources of the Xue family are almost completely open to you!"
Lian Er was so excited that when he waited for Xue Pan to leave, he got off the carriage and approached Jia Cong. He said enviously: "If only I had such an obedient and rich resource brother!"
Glancing sideways at this guy, Jia Cong sneered: "Stop dreaming, that is, Xue Pan is in a special situation. I heard that Aunt Xue is quite dissatisfied with me!"
It’s strange to have a good impression...
During the few days when the New Year Ethnic Studies started, Xue Pan was tortured a lot, and Aunt Xue was naturally so distressed that she could hardly breathe.
If Xue Baochai hadn't known that this was a good thing and tried her best to dissuade and appease him, Aunt Xue, who always showed a gentle face, would have taken direct action against Jia Cong.
For this reason, Xue Baochai originally heard that Xue Pan was planning to follow Jia Cong to Xishan to gain more knowledge and do business at the same time. He planned to have a farewell banquet, but was forcibly rejected by the angry Aunt Xue.
I didn't know if someone was trying to cause trouble, so I quickly informed the little maid Lingque about Aunt Xue's reaction, and it was naturally known to Jia Cong. Fortunately, he didn't care about it, otherwise it would probably have caused resentment.
On the premise that there was no farewell banquet in the mansion, he would not attend the Xue family's farewell banquet. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of several big shots in the mansion? Why bother?
“That’s pretty good too!”
Lian Er didn't take it seriously, pointed at the long Xue family caravan, and said enviously: "If there is need, the entire caravan will serve you!"
Jia Cong just smiled and said nothing. If he didn't have such convenience, how could he call Xue Pan to go to Xishan together?
It's a pity that although the Xue family claims to have shops all over the world, they don't have one in Xishan. Otherwise, this trip will only be more relaxed and enjoyable.
Originally, he planned to take a few close friends with him to the Western Mountains to increase his knowledge. Reading thousands of books would not be as good as traveling thousands of miles.
It's a pity that the younger brothers are quite excited, but their families are not happy.
After a little trial and error, he had no choice but to give up on this rather bold decision.
it's not a big deal……
On the other side, after seeing off his friend Jia Cong, the Crown Prince of Chu returned to the palace and picked up the manuscript of the new book he had just received and started reading it.
The content is as exciting as ever, but as the plot progresses, Si Ding's originally surging mood gradually calms down, and even becomes cold at the end.
Damn, this is really a scam!
The one with less than 100,000 words was finished by almost evening.
But at this moment, his heart was filled with coldness. If Jia Cong was still around, he would definitely teach this kid a lesson.
Damn, this is going to cost people's lives.
Once published, it is likely to arouse today's vigilance, and then Prince Zhongshun will be in trouble. It is hard to say whether he can turn around in the future.
Some of the content inside is simply too shocking.
That day, he had no intention of eating or sleeping. He read a lot of books about Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty overnight, and found out that there was indeed a worry-free cave hiding dirt and evil!
Speaking of Wuyou Cave, Si Ding also had an eye-opening feeling after seeing it.
Who would have known that the capital of a dynasty that is known as the richest in history would even have a place like Wuyou Cave? It’s hard to know what to say.
Turning around, he was worried about what to do with the manuscript in his hand.
He was naturally aware of Jia Cong's ruthless intentions. It was obvious that some of Prince Zhongshun's actions had annoyed this guy.
Otherwise, he would not have written such a highly targeted book in such a short period of time, and now even he, a bystander, finds it difficult.
After thinking for a long time, I still can't make a decision.
He knew very well that once this book was published by his hand, it would definitely offend Prince Zhongshun completely, and might even piss off the Emperor.
But if it is not released...
"I didn't expect that there would be another ruthless person in Rongguo Mansion!"
King Chu put down the manuscript in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "Once it is published, it will completely eliminate Zhongshun's chance of making a comeback!"
In other words, Si Ding really couldn't make up his mind, so in the end he had no choice but to drag his father into the water.
The King of Chu didn't care much at first, but after he briefly read the manuscript, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Having experienced the brutal battle for the throne, he did not feel that the content of the manuscript was too sensational, but he felt a sense of renewed understanding of the Song Dynasty.
As for deliberately targeting Prince Zhongshun, he didn't care much.
To put it bluntly, the longer the emperor lives, the more unfavorable it will be for Zhongshun in the future. At present, Zhongshun still has the right to speak out, but it is all forcibly given by the emperor.
How is it possible to say that there is no knot in my heart right now?
When the emperor passes away, Prince Zhongshun's life will definitely not be easy.
Unless the Jinling Zhen family, the biggest support force behind him, falls and Zhongshun surrenders to the present time in time, then it is possible to live a slightly easier life, otherwise the end will be worrying.
As the Grand Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, King Chu's status in the royal family is quite aloof, that is, he will not be an eyesore to the current generation. He does not have much power but does not live a life that is too oppressive.
Suddenly seeing a manuscript that was deliberately targeted and could even kill someone with one blow, King Chu felt quite emotional.
I don’t expect that the heroic Duke Rong would have such a ruthless and unusually ruthless junior. I don’t know if it’s good or bad?
"Father, this book..."
Si Ding was very anxious, but he had no time to pay attention to his father's complicated mood. After waiting for a while and there was no movement, he couldn't help but ask.
"Must be released!"
The King of Chu said bluntly: "If the content of this book is known today, and we deliberately suppress it and prevent it from being published, I am afraid it will arouse unnecessary suspicion..."
