I casually spread a rumor, intending to disgust the old-fashioned Jia Dairu.
Suddenly, Jia Cong sensed two strange auras, which were elusive and elusive.
He suddenly looked up and saw the figure of a lame Taoist at the corner of the street disappearing in an instant, and the ethereal aura also disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This is……
The lame Taoist who is one of the most magical duo in the original novel Red Mansions?
The soles of his feet suddenly exerted force, and his body shot out like an arrow from the string. In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of several feet, and when he arrived at the intersection of the back street, he glanced left and right. Where was the trace of the lame Taoist?
"Boss, what are you..."
Xue Pan quickly followed up, with a look of shock on his face.
Just now, Jia Cong burst out suddenly and ran out so fast that he arrived at the intersection in the blink of an eye.
He had never seen such methods before and was frightened.
"It's okay, I seemed to have seen a master just now, come and take a look!"
After waving his hand, Jia Cong didn't pay attention to his younger brother's shock and leisurely returned to his clan school, but his heart was filled with waves.
The Lame Taoist and the Laitou monk were basically in a state of inseparable focus, and obviously the Laitou monk was also nearby.
These two are very mysterious beings in the world of Red Mansions, or in other words, they possess mysterious powers just like the police fantasy fairy.
Even if Jia Cong's strength at this time has almost reached the perfection of secret power, he can't say that he will definitely be able to defeat the two of them together.
only……
It is said that the plot of Red Mansions at this time has been almost messed up. Why are these two still appearing on Ningrong Street?
There is indeed such an incident in the original work. Jia Rui fell into Wang Xifeng's love-sickness trap and became seriously ill at home to recuperate. Then he received a precious mirror from a lame Taoist and had it hanged.
The situation now is completely different. Although Jia Rui is also suffering from lovesickness, he has not yet reached the point where his thoughts are not serious mental damage.
Moreover, under the compulsory requirements of ethnic studies, the body bones have also been trained to be quite strong. Even if the buttocks are exposed and unable to move for a while, there will be no fear of life.
In the original work, the lame Taoist sent the rather miraculous Fengyue Treasure Book to Jia Rui in the name of saving people, and then the guy was played to death.
If you really want to care about it, although Jia Rui in the original work is seriously mentally exhausted, he can at least live for a few more years because of his youth and solid foundation, and he will not die until all his energy is exhausted.
But the Feng Yue Baojian given by the lame Taoist accelerated the process, and this guy definitely had no good intentions.
By the way, looking at the original novel Red Mansions, the characters played by Taoist Pojiao and Monk Laitou are not positive roles.
Every family targeted by them will end up with a tragic ending.
It feels to Jia Cong that it is a good idea to deprive the target family of their luck, and then a good family will soon be destroyed because of the loss of luck.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why these two people visited which family and why that family basically didn't end well. It would be too weird.
…
In a ruined temple outside the city, Taoist Pozu and Monk Laitou sat cross-legged and remained silent.
After a long time, Taoist Pozu, who seemed to have regained his energy, suddenly said: "What's going on? The kid who was in the back street of Ningrong's Second Mansion gave me a very dangerous feeling, so I subconsciously used means to stay away!"
"Are there any such masters in the capital?"
Laitou monk frowned and said, "Why haven't you heard the news before?"
"It is indeed the capital of the Daqing Empire, with many masters of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
Taoist Pozu smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that besides the palace and the imperial guards, there would be such good people scattered among the people!"
"They can't be considered civilians. The people living in Ning Rong's Second Mansion are not so-called common people at all!"
"Then what should we do? The mission given to us by Fairy Auntie must be completed. At the same time, we must also investigate whether there are any unexpected changes in Ningrong's Second Mansion!"
"The Fairy Lady didn't explain clearly what an accident is. She has no clue at all!"
"No matter what, let's deliver the Fengyue Treasure Mirror to the lovesick Jia clan members according to the plan. Monk, have you noticed that the light of this Fengyue Treasure Mirror seems to be a little dim!"
"..."
The chance encounter with Taoist Pozu did not arouse much concern from Jia Cong.
Beings like this kind of divine dragons, which are invisible, can only be tested when encountering them. If he is forced to do so, with the resources he currently has at his disposal, there is simply no way to cast a net everywhere to find people.
Here, the investigation of Liu Xianglian's family background and personal character has been completed, and the results are pretty good. This guy's family situation is quite simple, and he is somewhat chivalrous, which is pretty good.
There was nothing to say. Although Liu Xianglian's injuries were not easy to heal at this time, he did not need to show up in person to propose marriage.
Jia Cong first said hello to this guy, then turned around and went to the general's mansion to find the old master. He explained the situation and briefly recounted the results of the investigation.
Unexpectedly, the elder didn't care at all and just waved his hand to let Jia Cong do it by himself. It was obvious that he didn't care about Yingchun at all.
Jia Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time he didn't bother much. Then he found Mrs. Xing, who seemed to be invisible, and explained the matter clearly to his aunt.
"This is a good thing. It's really time for Yingchun to leave the cabinet!"
Since the eldest master has agreed, Mrs. Xing naturally has no objection. Anyway, Mr. Rong Mansion still has some money. It would be good to at least spend ten thousand taels of silver to prepare for Yingchun's marriage, and she does not need to pay for it.
Afterwards, he said hello to Lian Er from the lower office, and then he went home and asked Liu Xianglian to invite people to come to propose marriage.
Liu Xianglian did have some skills. Within a few days, she invited an old aunt from Duke Li's Mansion to come forward and went directly to the General's Mansion to propose marriage.
Neither the eldest master nor Mrs. Xing refused. They exchanged Geng stickers to calculate the horoscopes, and the marriage was almost settled.
It wasn't until Wang Xifeng, who had changed her residence, personally went to Rongqing Hall to help Yingchun move her luggage that the old lady and Yingchun himself learned about the marriage.
Just at this time, Baoyu caught a cold and had a fever at night. The old lady was so focused on this that she didn't care about welcoming the Spring Festival at all, so she asked Wang Xifeng to take the Spring Festival away smoothly.
When Baoyu's condition improved and the old lady wanted to intervene in the Spring Festival wedding, Liu Xianglian had already started the process.
For this reason, the old lady specially called the eldest man and Mrs. Xing to scold them, saying that the Spring Festival wedding should not be too hasty and so on.
The old man became impatient and directly said, "We are already sixteen in the Spring Festival. If we don't get married, we will become an old girl." The old lady was helpless.
Here, Wang Xifeng was too busy to get married in the spring, and she was quite unhappy when she took a rest. She said to Ping'er next to her: "Another ten thousand taels are gone!"
Ping'er smiled and said nothing, feeling that the second mistress was a little too fussy. Anyway, it was the father's money, and the second wife didn't feel any pain when it was spent by the second wife, so why should the second mistress care?
It was also at this time in the Spring Festival that I found out that my third brother Cong was responsible for promoting my marriage. I couldn't help but feel happy and worried. I wonder if the life after getting married will be good?
As for the marriage partner, she actually doesn't care too much about it.
…
The marriage on Yingchun's side went very smoothly, but there was a big problem on the Xue family's side.
It turned out that the personnel sent by the Xue family to their hometown in Jinling had already found out about the verdict of that year through their connections, and they were immediately shocked and hurriedly reported back.
Aunt Xue fainted immediately when she heard the news. Although Xue Baochai was extremely anxious, she still managed to calm her mind and not let the servants see the slightest problem.
When Xue Pan came back and heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue and everyone was stunned.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
In the evening of the same day, Jia Cong was rushed to Lixiangyuan. Xue Pan told the investigation results without hiding anything, and finally said harshly: "That bastard from Jia Yucun has done me terrible harm now!"
According to the verdict of the "Calabash Case", he has been wronged and is dead. He will be in big trouble in the future.
Even if he was killed directly by someone on the street, the other party might not have any trouble at all, because Xue Pan is a dead person.
If the news spreads, the Xue family's barely maintained business network will immediately collapse. The shopkeepers and village owners will divide the Xue family's property. Anyway, Xue Pan is already a 'dead person' and has no right to inherit these properties.
However, Xue Baochai's daughter is not qualified to inherit the Xue family's property.
In other words, at this time, the Xue family's property and imperial business qualifications were all controlled by a "dead man" who would cause big trouble if he went out.
In addition, if such an incident is not resolved as soon as possible, there is no need to expect Xue Baochai to enter the palace and become the princess's companion.
It is impossible for the palace to let an unfortunate girl like Xue Baochai, whose father and brother are both dead, enter, let alone serve as the companion of the princess and the princess. Don't even dream about it.
It can be said that with the news of Xue Pan's 'death' coming from Jinling, the Xue family was immediately in a precarious situation, and there was a possibility of being completely annexed if one mistake was made.
And the one who struck fastest and most ruthlessly was probably Mrs. Wang.
"The verdict of the Jinling Prefecture's Yamen is unlikely to be overturned, which means that you must die, Xue Pan, otherwise you will be a big deal!"
Jia Cong directly pointed out the key point and calmly analyzed: "It is impossible to target Jia Yucun. Now he is the salt transport envoy of Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has a high position and power, and he can provide tens of millions of dollars to your second uncle every year."
One hundred thousand taels of silver, unless the Xue family can provide this money instead of Jia Yucun, it is impossible for that person to fall!"
These words made the three members of the Xue family so depressed that they almost vomited blood. Even Aunt Xue, who was the most emotional, was sensible enough not to mention the bastard Jia Yucun again.
Just kidding, giving away hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the prince every year is too much for even the wealthy Xue family, and the Xue family will completely collapse in less than ten years.
"Is there any other way to save it?"
"Yes, that means Xue Pan, the head of the Xue family, has 'died'. Your second uncle will adopt an adopted son, also named 'Xue Pan', so he can almost get away with it!"
Glancing at the stunned three members of the Xue family, Jia Cong said with a smile: "However, the qualifications of the clan leader and the royal merchant must be given up..."
