When the lame Taoist left Jia Cong's house, his complexion was as bad as a candle in the wind, and there was no difference between the death of a concubine and the death of his parents...
Not long after, I don't know what kind of Tai Sui crime I committed, but I was actually being hunted by the patrolling troops from the Five Cities Army. I fled in a panic and finally managed to get away from the pursuers behind me. In the end, I stepped into a small pit and fell down.
Then the cart carrying the buckets passed by, and one of the buckets of excrement suddenly tipped over and poured all over him. It was such a bad thing.
Next, in the process of leaving the city, all kinds of bad things happened again.
In short, the process of the lame Taoist returning to the ruined temple stronghold outside the city is almost like going through disasters and blood and tears.
When the skinny-headed monk saw the lame Taoist, he could hardly believe that the stinking, almost unrecognizable humanoid existence in front of him was the lame Taoist.
"Taoist, what are you..."
"Don't mention it, the old man is in trouble this time!"
The lame Taoist had an unlucky look on his face, and naturally he would not talk about the fact that most of his luck was absorbed by Fengyue Baojian. Not to mention the shame, the mangy monk would probably run away, at least he would not play with him in a short time.
It rained heavily late that night, and the temporary temple collapsed because it could not withstand the wind and rain. The lame Taoist monk and the Laitou monk were soaked by the rain for half the night.
It was not until the next few days that the lame Taoist encountered bad luck one after another, and Monk Laitou realized that he immediately kept a mile away from the lame Taoist, so that he was no longer affected by his companion's bad luck.
At this time, Jia Cong was in high spirits and full of joy. Not only had his martial arts cultivation improved further and reached the level of energy transformation, but his luck was also better than before.
He really didn't expect that Fengyue Baojian could not only confuse the mind, but also have the ability to absorb the target's luck.
No wonder the lame Taoist and Laitou monk's targets almost all revolve around the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling, as well as the characters in the supplementary book, and the characters related to them. These are all beings with certain luck.
Compared to the poor brothel Chuguan who has a weak fortune, I am afraid that just a person like Jia Rui can be worth the combined luck of the brothels and Chuguan in one or two counties.
Compared with lame Taoists who are extremely unlucky but still able to protect themselves, ordinary people will only end up dead once they lose most or all of their luck.
If you use Fengyue Baojian to act recklessly in the brothel and Chu Palace, I am afraid it will cause huge casualties and attract the attention of the Daqing court. It will not be good.
Jia Cong just thought about it for a moment and then put it down. His golden finger level was obviously far higher than Fengyue Baojian.
With the help of Golden Finger, he directly extracted most of the luck accumulated by Fengyue Treasure Mirror, which not only made up for the luck cost of activating Fengyue Treasure Mirror, but even gained a few points more.
Fengyue Baojian did not resist at all during the whole process, and the luster of the entire bronze mirror dimmed a lot. This was because Jia Cong did not directly destroy this evil treasure, leaving a small amount of luck to be extracted.
It was useless for him to ask for it, so he gave it directly back to the lame Taoist.
As long as Fairy Jing Huan hasn't given up and wants to deal with the Twelve Beauties of Jinling and the people in the secondary book, she will naturally meet again in the future, but she doesn't know that the next target to be harmed will be that bastard from the Jia family.
Speaking of which, the Jia family in Beijing is really almost useless.
In addition to a group of younger brothers that Jia Cong tried his best to pull over, and a group of students who were dawdling in clan studies, the entire Jia clan could almost be described as 'bad people'.
Even if they continue to commit minor crimes and major crimes, they have no chance.
Once they are given enough authority to do great evil, they will dare to do anything bad.
In the original work, Jia Qin, who is responsible for managing the Iron Lan Temple, is the best example. He is more hateful and deserves to die than Jia Rui.
At least Jia Rui didn't do any real evil, and Jia Qin didn't need to mention it. The whole family temple was left in a mess, which was absolutely embarrassing and could even be considered as an act of destroying the family.
Not mentioning this, Jia Cong received a notice that day and came to Rong Mansion again. After meeting the old lady and the second wife, he directly took over the supervisory position of the provincial residence.
At this time, the provincial residence has shrunk by at least two-thirds compared to the original plan.
The amazing thing is that it is almost the same as what Jia Cong originally proposed, using the sealed Wujin mansion in the mansion as the basis for expansion, just like he has the ability to cut through an iron mouth.
He was not polite and directly invited his subordinates to set up the Provincial Courtyard Construction Management Office. Then, following the model of constructing farmland water conservancy facilities in Huangzhuang last year, he divided the construction of the Provincial Courtyard into pieces and arranged a group of subordinates to supervise it.
This time, even Huan San, who had been restrained in the house, had the opportunity to participate, and he was very excited all day long.
Jialan was even given some supervision rights for the project, and his whole body was filled with endless fighting spirit, and he must perform well in front of his widowed mother.
Xue Pan is responsible for specific security and handling of possible interest disputes.
The younger brothers are all full of passion and sense of mission. They have not been spoiled by the bad habits of the Ningrong Second Mansion and the entire Jia family in the capital, so they naturally have a serious and responsible attitude and execution ability.
But this is contrary to the ideas of the stewards and housekeepers who have been gearing up for a long time in the mansion and want to make a big profit. Even some clan members who want to make a profit will have conflicts due to interest disputes.
It can be seen from the content of the original work that the Lin family's property was definitely no less than two to three million taels. As a result, it was not enough to fill the holes in the Provincial Courtyard, and the Rong Mansion's family fortune was also emptied. This shows how serious the waste was.
A bunch of Jiangnan dramas cost upwards of 50,000 taels of silver, and the flowers and plants in the Provincial Family Courtyard cost more than 30,000 taels of silver.
Not to mention the rockery rocks and the furnishings in various courtyards, it can be said that gold and silver were wasted.
Based on Jia Cong's understanding of the greed of the officials and housekeepers in the house, as well as the people of the clan, at least half of the money was embezzled.
Lai everyone took advantage of the convenience of the Provincial Qin Villa and built one at home. It was only slightly smaller than the provincial Qin Villa, but it was equally beautiful, as can be seen from this.
Maybe, for the sake of free money, the housekeeper in the house and the tribesmen in the backstreets might really be cruel to the supervising tribesmen.
Jia Cong was naturally not afraid, but he had to take precautions and send out Xue Pan, a big killer. When this guy was stunned, he didn't care about the identity of the opponent, but first beat him up according to the possible danger level.
Shan Ziye, a master of landscape gardening, redesigned the plan of the provincial residence. It was only based on the renovation of the sealed five-in mansion, and there was no need to rebuild the house.
After estimating the cost, if the control is strict, it will cost less than 500,000 taels!
Taking into account possible unnecessary consumption, Mrs. Wang has raised almost 700,000 taels of silver, which is more than enough.
When he handed over the renovation cost list to Mrs. Wang for review, the housekeeper's wife, who had always had a bad attitude towards Jia Cong, had a rare smile of satisfaction on her face.
"Work hard, and I will speak good words for you in front of your Majesty in the future!"
Jia Cong said he didn't want such an empty promise.
Without saying any nonsense, I picked an auspicious day and started working directly.
Then, the entire Rong Mansion circled around this provincial residence, and all kinds of troubles came one after another. Jia Cong left all of them to his subordinates to deal with. Only when he encountered troubles that were difficult to solve, he would come forward to ask the old lady or
The second wife suppressed him.
Damn it, if you want to reap the benefits, you must first get through the clear path of these two big guys.
After saving money, many people were found guilty for spending too much and exceeding the expense list, but Jia Cong did not take the blame.
During this period, blood was actually spilled for profit, and the commotion was so sensational that Xue Dalunzi's reputation once again resounded in the ears of Ning Rong and all the Jia clan members.
In order to protect his companions, this guy and Butler Lai and his servants had a violent fight on Ningrong Street, knocking out all the front teeth of Butler Lai, and even several of them needed months of nursing to recover.
Seriously injured number.
The old lady was very angry about this. She called Jia Cong, the supervisor, and wanted to make a fuss, but Jia Cong didn't give her a chance at all.
He directly took out the evidence of Lai Da's wanton corruption and retreated with the help of the materials provided, leaving the battlefield to the equally angry second wife, Mrs. Wang.
With Mrs. Wang's emphasis on money, how could she tolerate Lai Da's misbehavior?
Jia Cong solved the trouble so easily, which greatly boosted the morale of Yi Qian's still cautious younger brother, who no longer had much worries about strictly following the rules.
The boss is so awesome, the younger brother can't hold back, right?
Especially when two companions, Jia Yun and Jia Fang, were successfully admitted to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and became ninth-grade minor officials soon after, the morale was even higher.
Even though he is just a low-ranking ninth-grade clerk in the Ministry of Industry Yamen, he is a real official. Compared with the two clerks in the Department of Affairs, his grade is not inferior.
"Tsk, tsk, Third Brother Cong is really talented. He even dared to provoke Butler Lai and managed to escape unscathed!"
Privately, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but sigh.
She was also deeply touched. She didn't expect that Jia Cong, who had always been very authoritative in the government, even Lian Er had to call out "Grandpa Lai", was beaten without mercy by Jia Cong.
Regardless of whether it was Xue Pan or Xue Dalengzi who actually did the trick, anyone with a discerning eye knows that without Jia Cong’s instructions, Xue Dalengzi would not have done such a brilliant job!
I didn’t see how anxious Aunt Xue was afterward, but she apologized to the old lady several times and sent out a lot of gifts.
But Xue Dali still went his own way and had no intention of bowing his head and apologizing. Butler Lai also threatened to deal with this guy. As a result, not long after, Lai Shangrong, the grandson of the Lai family who had been released from residence, was severely beaten while eating wine outside.
.
Butler Lai was immediately frightened. He had no guts to risk the safety of his beloved grandson on whether Xue Da Lunzi dared to do anything cruel.
This incident was left undisturbed, but it shocked the hearts of the leading figures in Rong Mansion and made them a little more wary of Jia Cong, a member of the side clan.
Even the "powerful" housekeeper Lai dared to target him. In the entire Rong Mansion, it is estimated that only the eldest master and the old lady did not dare to offend easily. After all, the word "filial piety" is too restrictive to a person's life.
As for the rest of the people, they don’t have the confidence to scare Jia Cong...
