It is said that the catcher of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division listened to the description of the people in the Ma Daopo Temple, and from the three words "Jia Baoyu", it was known that he was a person from Rongguo Mansion. So he hurriedly invited Zhao Cheng to come over.

Zhao Cheng asked about the situation from the beginning, knowing that Ma Daopo personally admitted that he had harmed Jia Baoyu by casting a spell, and heard that little Daoist aunt say that Jia Cong claimed to be the "Great God of the Three Altars of the Sea Society", where did he dare to go to Rongguo Mansion? Even he himself muttered: "It turns out that Third Master Cong is not a good wealth boy!" ”

There was a gossip catcher on the side and said: "The good wealth boy is the son of the Bull Demon King, and he is also a monster even if he cultivates to the right fruit!" The third prince of Nezha is the god of the Eight Classics. Look at the tone in which the third master of Cong spoke, 'Is it really when I am the little calf of the red boy?' 'I don't think of the boy at all!' ”

The other said: "It's no wonder that the third prince of Nezha, Jiang Taigong, became a god at that time, and the Bull Demon King didn't know if he was born or not." ”

Another said: "Could it be that this Ma Daopo mistakenly thought that he was a red boy and dared to make a move?" Tsk, I didn't even figure out who my brother was, and he deserved to be killed because of his lack of mana! ”

Zhao Cheng shook his head and said, "What do I say every day?" When you run an errand in Beijing, you must be careful, there are all kinds of characters! Look, we have all met the princes and princes, and now even the gods have met! But it's an eye-opener, isn't it? "No wonder I've always been disgraced when I deal with their house, and I have a Nezha in their family! We need to be more cautious in the future.

Someone else asked, "Who is that white girl?" ”

Zhao Cheng glared at him: "Don't ask about the affairs of big families!" The man quickly shrunk his neck, and his heart had already made up for some romantic resentment.

Zhao Cheng then sentenced Ma Daopo's death to be a demon trick and was killed by a counterattack, and he didn't go to the door of Rongguo Mansion at all.

However, Jia Cong's reputation as "Nezha" gradually spread. Someone with good deeds asked Rongguo Mansion about Jia Baoyu's situation at that time, and it was strung together with Ma Daopo's death, and suddenly synthesized a "Fighting Method"! There are also gentlemen who can speak and break into commentary, and the lively teahouse and restaurant are talked about, and it has become "flying sword fighting talismans, fighting three lilies". Ma Daopo saw that his appearance in the golden light was a child with a red head rope, and heard that the good wealth boy crossed the lower realm, and his heart was not afraid. Unexpectedly, when the third master of Cong suddenly appeared in the lotus, Ma Daopo exclaimed, it turned out to be the third prince of Nezha! It's a pity that it's too late, and the Qiankun circle is flying and smashing the ...... of the door." And so on and so forth. That's for later.

On the other side, Li Kun sent someone to arrest Yu Chu'er, and according to Jia Cong's words, he kept her alive and waited for Baoyu's body to be conditioned for a few days before using her. Yu Chu'er knew that the matter was exposed, and all thoughts were lost, and she was bent on waiting for death.

The next day, Feng Ziying shackled Zhong Wei and carried him to the water pavilion from home. A large screen was set up in the water pavilion, and he and Situ Pan hid behind the screen.

Someone took Zhong Wei across the Jiuqu Bridge and saw that there was a case, two chairs, a pot, and two lamps in the water pavilion. In early spring, the wind is warm and the clouds are light, and I don't know where the fragrance of flowers wafts over, and it is very pleasant to smell. A chubby young man was standing against the railing, and when he saw him, he smiled and waved his hand: "Hello General Zhong~~ My name is Jia Cong." ”

Zhong Wei frowned: "Jia Sanye of Rongguo Mansion has heard of the big name. I couldn't help but feel my heart beating.

Jia Cong walked over and arched his hand: "That...... General Zhong, the boy was entrusted by a friend to persuade the general to abandon grievances and serve the country. I also hope that the general can give the boy's friend a face, whether he agrees or not, he will listen to the boy's words. ”

Zhong Wei thought that this friend was referring to Gan Lei, Chen, etc., and Feng Ziying thought that he was referring to himself, so he smiled slightly.

The two of them took their seats, Jia Cong poured tea and drank two sips, thought for a while, and said, "Does General Zhong know that Ling's nephew is still alive?" ”

Zhong Wei sighed: "I don't know. ”

Jia Cong said: "I know, he is alive. ”

Zhong Wei's eyes flashed and he didn't answer.

"The general has ever complained that he has affected his family."

Zhong Wei shook his head and said, "No." He was only seventeen years old at that time, and he was a child. ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "General Zhong is more reasonable than many people. The general has ever thought about why your family has fallen into such a ruined situation. ”

Zhong Wei sneered: "Third Master Jia wants to say that the Zhongshun Royal Mansion has done a lot of evil or is the first emperor mediocre?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Neither. It's you and Brother Ling who are both incompetent and stupid. ”

Zhong Wei took a breath of cold air.

"In the early years, the Emperor Taishang gave my eldest sister to Huo Xuan, the king of Xiannan'an County, as a concubine. At that time, I was too young, I couldn't look down on Huo Xuan and couldn't do anything with him for the time being, so I could only tell my eldest sister not to compete for favor, to be a transparent person in the house, and I would be able to save her in the future. As long as she is well, she can stay in the green mountains and don't worry about running out of firewood. As he spoke, Jia Cong glanced at Zhong Wei. Zhong Wei understood and nodded slightly. "After Huo Xuan died, their family wanted to send my sister to be a sister-in-law, and I took the lead and led the three brothers to snatch my sister back! also beat the old lady Nan'an in public. He bared his teeth and smiled, "General, do you know why I wasn't retaliated against by the Nan'an Palace?" ”

Zhong Wei pondered for a moment and said: "Sanjia is famous in the capital, if Prince Huo wants to take revenge on you, there will be nobles to stop him." ”

Jia Cong nodded: "Not bad." The three of us brothers are all rare advisers, and they are of great use in the imperial court. What is Huo Sheng compared to us? If General Zhong and Brother Ling are the pillars of the country, where is the first emperor willing to wronged your nephew? If there are not many of you, and there are not many of you, he will not be too lazy to fight for you. Grievances are grievances, and it's not that no one has been wronged. ”

Zhong Wei laughed miserably when he heard this: "What the third master said is that I am incompetent. He asked, "Is there any wine?" ”

Jia Cong said: "No, you will just have tea." ”

Zhong Wei had to drink all the tea in front of him.

"It's just that the court is so big, there are only a few pillars, and the rest of the ministers are not pillars. It's not like everyone is so unlucky. General Zhong, you have made another mistake, this is the worst thing. As the saying goes, if you can't afford to hide. Prince Zhongshun is such an unreasonable color blank, if you want to hide from him, you have to hide in the south of the Yangtze River and Saibei, right?! What's the matter with hiding at home! That's also called hiding? On that day, the second prince fell in love with my cousin, and my cousin hid directly in Taiwan! ”

Zhong Wei was stunned again. In the middle of the night, he slammed the desk heavily, and let out an angry roar from the dantian, and his grief and remorse rushed straight to Xiao Han: "How stupid! "Scared Jia Cong! After a while, I thrashed it again.

After he regretted it for a while, Jia Cong said leisurely: "Heaven and earth are ruthless, and all things are used as dogs." There has never been fairness in the world, and there is none, and there will never be. What is a bright gentleman and a faint monarch, it is nothing more than the difference between a little fair and extremely unfair. You expect the court to treat you fairly, and this expectation itself is wrong. Fair size! Is the prince guilty of the same crime as the common people? Which dynasty and generation in ancient and modern China and abroad have this record? The first emperor was mediocre. Yes, the first emperor was mediocre, isn't it that the first emperor was not mediocre? Of course, the first emperor is extremely mediocre, so mediocre that I have nothing to say to scold him, which is a wonderful flower among the faint kings. It's all his fault that I've fallen to where I am now! ”

Situ Pan behind the screen wanted to laugh and scold when he heard it, but he said in advance that he couldn't stop him by scolding the first emperor, so he had to endure it. raised her eyes to see Feng Ziying, and she also looked ridiculous and uncomfortable. Zhong Wei didn't know what to say, so he just buried his head in tea.

Jia Cong high-fived and said: "However, we all live in this unfair world, so we can't accept our fate and wait for death!" People always have to fight for themselves and their families. The courtiers are nothing more than learning literature and martial arts, selling them to the emperor's family, and buying rice for a few dollars. There is no fairness in the world, so everyone wants to find a position where they can take advantage. That's why there is a lord, Bole and Maxima. If Bole can achieve great things, Maxima will be able to take advantage. For example, other people's families dare not sell stolen goods for the Green Forest thieves, but my family dare! If others sell stolen goods, they want to enter the class room, but my father doesn't need it. ”

Situ Pan's face was twisted, he gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, and finally whispered to Feng Ziying: "If I can't help but want to strangle this kid later, don't stop me." Feng Ziying forced a smile and claimed "yes". Zhong Wei opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say it, still closing his eyes and drinking tea.

Who knew that Jia Cong continued: "There are more men and women who are robbed by the prince of Zhongshun. Once, he fell in love with a beautiful sister-in-law, my sister respected that sister-in-law and connected her to her own family temple to protect her, and the prince of Zhongshun didn't dare to rob it! ”

Zhong Wei trembled!

Jia Cong raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Wei: "I have long heard that there are many green forest masters in the Zhongshun Palace. What is he doing when he has nothing to do with raising so many people in the rivers and lakes? He spends money, and he can't manage the board for him. Unless ......"

Zhong Wei couldn't help but lean over and ask, "Unless what?!" ”

"Unless someone goes and assassinates him from time to time. Once not twice, twice not three, three times not four, five times six, seven eight. Nine countless times! If that man does not die, there will be no peace if he is loyal to the king. Jia Cong smiled, "The nephew must be alive, and he is still tirelessly assassinating the enemy-that is, the loyal prince of the past and the loyal prince of the present." Oh, he's the king of E-e now. Presumably, neither succeeded, nor was he killed by the green forest master raised by the loyal prince. Because the king of E still has those green forest masters. As for when he will do it next time, whether he will succeed or be killed, the kid doesn't know. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence inside and outside the screen. Situ Pan and Feng Ziying looked at each other with their mouths open for a long time. Feng Ziying gave a thumbs up, and Situ Pan nodded with a smile.

For a long time, Jia Cong said: "Liu Dengxi saved you, and you have worked hard for him for many years." Now he is dead, but he has died unjustly. There is nothing to say about the success of the king or the defeat of the king, and the seizure of the heir. Prince Yizhong's family did not have a shortage of dead people back then. The kid thinks that you have repaid Gonggong Liu's kindness and are worthy of him. It's just your nephew Zhong Heng, you were an elder but didn't protect him well, and you still owe Zhong Heng. Besides, he is the only blood and bone of your Zhong family. If the revenge is not avenged, I guess I will not become my own son. As the old saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater. It's not as good as ......."

Zhong Wei took a long breath and listened with bated breath.

Jia Cong poured a cup of tea and drank it all, stretched his shoulders and arms, and said with a smile: "It's better for General Zhong to go to Ezhou and open a teahouse near the left side of the Ewang Mansion, so that a word that you and Zhong Heng both know can be used as a signboard." For example, his words, your words, your brother's words...... When he goes back to take revenge next time, when he sees the signboard, he must feel that he has a relationship with this teahouse and the Zhong family, so he will go in and sit down...... Your kung fu is so high, wouldn't it be easier for your uncle and nephew to take revenge together? After the revenge is avenged, you can also marry a daughter-in-law for him and give birth to a white and chubby big nephew. Your Zhong family is also considered to have a queen. Seeing that Zhong Wei's eyes were burning with anticipation, Jia Cong turned his head to look behind the screen, "Brother Xianwang, is it done?" ”

Situ Pan also took a deep breath, got up and walked out from behind, and said to Zhong Wei: "If the general is willing to let go of the grievances of Gonggong Liu, find his nephew, and take revenge, this king will not stop him." ”

Without waiting for Zhong Wei and Situ Pan to talk, Jia Cong said again: "Public is public, private is private. Yu Gong, you and your companions can be regarded as serving Liu Dengxi to death, and they are no longer indebted. Just as he is a proprietor, you are his treasurer. His shop closed due to poor management, and you lasted until the last day, and you didn't even ask for a salary. However, the shop was closed. It's none of your business, it's your fate. You can't just drink the northwest wind just because the original shop is closed. If you think that the opposite shop is stealing the business and causing your shop to close, it is always okay not to go to the opposite shop to do things, and it is always okay to change your career to become a woodcutter or a farmer. Besides, it's not like your shop hasn't robbed other people's business and forced them to close their doors and go bankrupt! In business, willing to gamble and lose. Blind hypocrisy is inevitably a bit of a bad husband. Yibi said, he looked at Zhong Wei on the other.

Zhong Wei listened to it in his ears, and knew in his heart which of these words was the most important. "Your companions". His breathing couldn't help but pick up heavily. When Jia Cong took Zhong Heng to persuade him, he really thought that he was persuading him to surrender to Situ Pan, but then he suddenly felt that those words were just a pretense for Situ Pan behind the screen. This Jia Cong not only wants to save him, but also wants to save the rest of his companions! For a while, my heart was tumbling, and I thought of my companion and my nephew, and I couldn't settle down for a long time.

Situ Pan and Feng Ziying both saw this appearance in their eyes, and Feng Ziying said, "Why don't you think about it for a few more days?" ”

Zhong Wei nodded.

Feng Ziying then made a gesture, and a soldier guarding the bridge came over and respectfully asked Zhong Wei to move. Zhong Wei glanced up at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong smiled and waved his hand, and spit out chicken soup for the soul: "Those who abandon me cannot stay yesterday." Anyway, tomorrow is another day. Man should not live in the past, but in the present; Nor should we live for the past, but for the future. General Zhong, as long as people live, there is hope. You are poor, but you are not destitute. You still have Zhong Heng. Look—" he pointed to a shelf of flowers at the end of the lake, "a new rose!" ”

Zhong Wei looked at the rose shelf and breathed faster, and then turned around and walked away with the soldiers who escorted him.

They gradually crossed the bridge and went ashore, and Situ Pan couldn't help but ask, "Cong'er, will he vote for me?" ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Yes." ”

Feng Ziying slapped him: "Good boy! You can bring the dead to life! ”

Jia Cong said: "Only those who have lost themselves will die for the loser." Zhong Wei lost his family business and himself, so he gave his whole life to Liu Dengxi. But he also has a nephew who doesn't necessarily die. What if this nephew doesn't die? This is hope. When he had hope, he naturally wanted to live for himself. If you want to find your nephew, you first have to let Brother Xianwang let him go to Ezhou. Brother Xianwang can't let him return to the mountain with such a tiger for no reason. He has to think of his own ideas to prove that he doesn't care about Liu Dengxi anymore, so you will let him go. ”

Situ Pan nodded and said, "This is natural." But I didn't know how to trust him. ”

Jia Cong said: "Leave it to him to think for himself." If you have the heart to go to Ezhou, he will try to win your trust, otherwise he will not be able to leave. It's not hard to swear a poisonous oath or something. ”

Situ Pan said: "What if he refuses? ”

Jia Cong chuckled, "He will be willing." No father or uncle would watch their sons and nephews get into danger and ignore it, not to mention that it was the only blood and blood of their Zhong family. Zhong Wei may not be in a hurry this time, afraid that he will be a little late, what if Zhong Heng lets the king of E kill him? I can't wait to fly to Ezhou to stare at his nephew. ”

Situ Pan said again: "Do you really think that Zhong Heng should be assassinating the king of Hubei?" What if he hadn't gone? ”

"The one who stabbed the king of E, it's clear that I'm not a good one!" Jia Cong pouted and said: "It's so obvious, Zhong Wei is concerned about it, and you two will believe it!" As long as Zhong Wei can live like an ordinary person, he will inevitably associate with people. What kind of guy in the tea house, the tea guest who often comes and goes, and the proprietress of the restaurant next door...... Is he in love with a widow and wants to marry her? An old man who has gone through all the vicissitudes of life saved a gentle and hard-working little widow, oops, it's a godsend. Zhong Wei is not old yet, and he can still give birth to a son. He squeezed his eyes, "The shopkeeper who is good at business goes to farm, but I'm afraid it won't be easy and I won't be able to make a few dollars." Speaking of which, he was so poor that he was so poor that he refused to go to work in the shop opposite, but the owner on the opposite side gave him a few dollars to buy land regardless of his previous suspicions, and he owed him a favor after all. Oh, the son still has to marry a daughter-in-law! If you don't have money, you can't afford to give a dowry, and if you can't afford to give a dowry, you can't marry a good daughter-in-law, do you watch your son marry a saltless woman who is five big and three thick? ”

Situ Pan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, and pointed at Jia Cong and said, "How did you give birth to this kid!" Okay, if he comes to the opposite shop as a shopkeeper, the owner will give you a big red envelope! ”

Jia Cong jumped up and shouted: "A word is a certainty!" He turned his head to look at Feng Ziying again, "Brother Feng is a witness!" ”

Feng Ziying also smiled: "Okay, I'll be a witness!" The prince is not allowed to deny it! ”

The three of them laughed in unison in the water pavilion, and the laughter spread far and wide.
