Chapter 528
It is said that Jia Cong coaxed away the prefect of Chang'an, Lord Chen, and the next day someone from the yamen came to deliver the letter, and the blind man's house that died last night caught fire and burned out. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info Jia Cong is so hanging on his tongue! It's just a confirmation that this person is meticulous. He looked at Chen Ruijin blankly and said, "Do I have such a golden mouth and jade teeth?" β
Chen Ruijin said: "Don't do your business, I set the fire." β
"Huh?"
"Fortunately, his house is not connected to the others." Chen Ruijin said, "I have also checked the things in his house, and there is nothing unusual. β
Jia Cong pondered: "Could something have been taken away by the people of the Yamen?" β
"Yes, quite a few were taken." Chen Ruijin said, "No one knows what was burned. and they did not dig three feet into the ground. Jia Cong couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Jia Taijun came to invite Jia Cong over, saying that he was seeing an important guest; Jia Cong then changed his clothes and went out. I saw two young men who looked like scholars sitting in the guest seat; Jia Taijun glanced at him with his eyes, and then moved his eyes to a Pixiu ornament on Duobaoge. Jia Cong understood: Pixiu is the son of the dragon, and at least one of these two is the son of the king of Qin. Nai stepped forward and saluted Jia Taijun: "Grandmother." β
Jia Taijun said: "Cong'er, these two are Mr. Wang and Mr. Ji, both of whom are famous people in Chang'an. I heard you're here and want to meet you. β
Jia Cong thought to himself: Such a young Chang'an celebrity, do you believe that you have no family background? His face was not visible, and he said, "I have seen two gentlemen." Mr. Wang, who was the first guest in the seat, only arched his hand when he returned the salute, but Mr. Ji bowed to the ground. Jia Taijun said a few more casual words, and then excused himself to rest, and asked Jia Cong to accompany them to the outer study to sit.
Out of Jia Taijun's yard, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Their study is too serious, and the bookshelves are all *." It's better to go to the Xiao Xuan at the back of the study and sit down. Open the window to the water, but also cool. β
Mr. Wang said, "It's okay." β
Then he walked to the back of the outer study, and there was a study next to the small pond, with the words "Tatefeng Xuan" written on it, and a couplet: The new green and Huange place, the good cloud fragrance protects the celery pickers. Jia Cong smiled: "This couplet was written by my brother Baoyu. Last time, when I came to Chang'an, I told my aunt and grandmother that I didn't want her to order someone to carve it out and hang it here. β
Mr. Ji said with a smile: "The old lady has got your two talented nieces and nephews, I hate that everyone knows about it." β
The three of them sat down in the pavilion, and the next person came up with tea. Jia Cong blinked and ordered, "Get some snacks!" "The Gao family was originally a military general, and they are not used to preparing snacks. Nai looked at the two of them, and Jia Cong said, "I just came to my aunt's grandmother's house yesterday, and no one outside knows about it. Besides, the two of them are obviously not here to chat. Something must be wrong? β
Mr. Wang chucked: "Mr. Jia is really a straight man." β
Mr. Ji said: "Since Mr. Jia is so cool, we will not be polite." The two of us are advisors to the King of Qin, and we want to find out the purpose of Mr. Jia's visit. β
Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth: "You staff members are thinking too much." I have a woman I like, so I brought it to my aunt and grandmother. It is a purely private matter and has nothing to do with the general trend of the world. β
The two of them glanced at each other, and Mr. Ji asked again, "Just for this?" β
Jia Cong said: "Isn't it normal to take your fiancΓ©e to see your elders?" Why the fuss? β
Mr. Ji smiled bitterly: "Most people in the world think that Mr. Jia is the confidant of King Yan. If you come suddenly, we will inevitably be suspicious. β
Jia Cong said: "Is it a bad thing that the Yan King's strategists are here? Qin Yan doesn't border, so they should be friends from afar and close to each other. Nervous. β
Mr. Ji's eyes moved: "King Yan wants to form an alliance with King Qin?" β
Jia Cong waved his hand: "I don't know!" I really just brought my girlfriend to meet the elders. There is also a request for my aunt and grandmother to help build a compulsory education school in the Qin State. β
Mr. Ji was stunned; Mr. Wang narrowed his eyes: "Compulsory education school? Gao Jiajian? β
Jia Cong spread his hands and said: "Your prince refuses to build it, so you can only ask the Gao family." β
Mr. Wang asked, "Why does Mr. Jia have to build a compulsory education school?" The Yan Kingdom of Shu was built by you Zhang Luo, and it was also your idea when Wu Guo heard about it. β
Jia Cong said: "Because my country is about to enter an era of expansion. King Wu fights South America, King Yan fights North America, King Shu fights Asia, and King Huo Sheng of Nan'an County fights Australia. In the next few decades, the territory will suddenly become larger, and there will be no shortage of talent. If compulsory education schools are not built in various countries as soon as possible, there will be a serious shortage of qualified personnel in the future. I don't want the princes to use Westerners as officials because of the lack of talents in their own countries. β
Mr. Wang looked at him and said, "These princes sent troops overseas, it seems that they were all picked up by Mr. Jia?" β
"No, it's 100% me." Jia Cong said proudly.
Mr. Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Yijia, can the world still be unified in a hundred years?" β
Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "A hundred years? It will be difficult to unify for thousands of years. Who can beat the princes who have expanded their territory? Besides, they can't afford to fight. What is the war fought for? Territory, gold and silver, population. The places they want to fight are dozens or even hundreds of times the size of their own land, and there is no shortage of gold and silver mines. When the place is big, you still have no population? No matter how hard you try, you can always fill it up slowly. What does a thankless civil war do? β
The two of them looked at each other again, and Mr. Ji said, "Let you guess." He added, "Mr. Wang guessed that Mr. Jia had no intention of following the prince at all, and only put his mind on foreign countries." β
Jia Cong said: "I have said this to every prince, and I have never deceived them. β
"In that case, why did Mr. Jia want to divide the princes back then?" Mr. Wang said, "Isn't it good to assist a son of heaven to succeed to the throne and send troops abroad with the strength of the whole country?" β
Jia Cong said: "Back then, the Emperor Taishang and Prince Yizhong fought like that, and how many generals were liquidated after Prince Yizhong's death!" And it's a lot of effort and money. How good it would be to keep the money of those generals to fight Westerners. Besides, at that time, the princes of each family were quite capable, and it was definitely not possible to fight in three or five years, and it would delay a lot of time. He looked at Mr. Wang meaningfully and said, "The opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again." The Westerners have been fighting a civil war for the past seven or eight years, and it will be difficult to deal with them when they are finished. β
Mr. Wang nodded and glanced at Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji said: "In that case...... To tell you the truth, the two of us have followed the third son of King Qin. Jia Cong raised an eyebrow. I don't know ...... Mr. Jia."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Wang interrupted him and said, "I am the third son of King Qin." β
Jia Cong pursed his lips and said, "Why bother to say it?" Isn't it okay for us to know each other? β
Mr. Wang smiled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Jia has guessed." Because I want to make a deal with Mr. Jia, it would be better to say it clearly. β
Jia Cong tilted his head slightly: "What deal?" β
Mr. Wang said, "Please Mr. Jia help me take the throne of the world," and looked at Mr. Ji again, "This Mr. Ji wants his fiancΓ©e back." β
"Mr. Ji's fiancΓ©e was robbed?"
Mr. Ji said gloomily: "For the princess of the world." β
Jia Cong bared his teeth: "...... You're ...... Has she changed her mind? Are you still willing to follow you? Do you have children? β
Mr. Ji smiled bitterly and said, "I have given birth to a daughter for the son." β
When Jia Cong heard this, he immediately sat upright, looked at him and said, "You rob her back, what will happen to the child." β
Mr. Ji sighed leisurely: "I thought I could forget about her......"
Jia Cong didn't know if what he said was true or not, so he asked for a while: "I don't know if Mr. Ji has a family himself." β
Mr. Ji said: "I married a wife on the orders of my parents. After a while, he said, "If it weren't for marriage, I wouldn't know the depth of the demons." "I watched the wind blow through the pond outside the window.
Jia Cong frowned and said, "I know that there are lovers in the world, but Mrs. Zun is innocent." If you want me to help you, first of all, you have to reconcile with Mrs. Zun and help her get a suitable identity to remarry. Secondly, confirm that the princess still likes you and is willing to go with you. Besides, the girl is also innocent, and the child can't leave the mother, can you treat it as your own? β
Mr. Ji said casually: "It's just a girl, I won't mind." β
Jia Cong spread his hands and said, "Mr. Ji's attitude, I decided not to help you later." β
Mr. Ji sank his face and said, "They were the ones who robbed my woman back then." His children, is it possible that who else can regard them as their own? β
Jia Cong said: "You can figure it out by yourself, and you won't care about it later." β
Mr. Wang hurriedly said: "This matter is considered in the long run. β
Jia Cong waved his hand: "Don't think about it, it's over." It's too troublesome to take over the heir, and I don't bother to take care of it. β
Mr. Wang smiled and said: "If I become a prince, I will not only immediately build a school in the whole country, but also send troops abroad." β
Jia Cong's eyes moved, and he said, "If the Qin State does not send troops, sooner or later other countries will send troops." The same is true of the Gao Jiajian School. β
Mr. Wang said with a smile: "The Gao family is a martial arts family after all, and it may not be a good school. Besides......" he glanced out the window, "there are still people in the Gao family staring, does Mr. Jia know?" β
Jia Cong said: "It's just a villain, my aunt and grandmother went to the battlefield when she was young, and you are still afraid of him?" β
Mr. Wang said: "It's not that the old lady will be afraid of him, but I'm afraid that I can't guard against it." β
Mr. Ji said: "Does Mr. Jia know about the case of the blind man yesterday?" β
Jia Cong said: "Except for the fact that the deceased was a spy in vain, I don't know anything else. β
Mr. Ji said: "That incident was originally aimed at the Gao family. β
"Huh?"
Mr. Ji then talked about the case. It turned out that in the past two years, it was Ding Chu who looked at the Gao family unpleasantly, and he slandered the King of Qin every day. A few days ago, Ding Chu was listening to gossip in the teahouse again, and accidentally heard that a blind fortune teller had died. The blind man had just finished divining a hexagram on the front foot of an old man, saying that people would die unexpectedly, and the hind foot himself had died unexpectedly. He then ordered someone to investigate the case and go blind, and then provoked the king of Qin to steal Jiang Laosi's knife and frame him for murder. He himself didn't expect that the blind man was a spy and Jiang Laosi would be robbed.
Jia Cong thought for a long time after hearing this, and said: "I listened to what Master Chen said yesterday, as if someone forced him to deduct Jiang Laosi from the Gao family, and this Ding Chu is also this?" β
"It's not." Mr. Ji said, "It's the prince." Nai sighed, "The prince has fascinated him, and he obeys his words." β
"Jiang Laosi's knife was stolen by Ding Chu, does Lord Chen know?"
Mr. Ji sneered and said, "It's not a fair and honest thing, where can everyone know." β
Jia Cong didn't care whether Ding Chu was sent by Gong Sanyi or what he was sent. With such a large age and deep roots of the Gao family in the Qin State, he does not approve of leaving Qin. So he leisurely told these two about Ding Chu's origin, and even kidnapped Liu Tong's favorite concubine. At the end, he said: "He looks at the Gao family unpleasantly, but he is afraid that there is this reason in it." The two were obviously startled, and stared at each other for a long time. Jia Cong thought about it again and muttered, "The blind man doesn't know who killed him." The knife was stolen by Ding Chu. The person who robbed Jiang Laosi was still related to the blind man, and they also deceived Ding Chu, thinking that the blind man died at the hands of Jiang Laosi. Why burn down the blind man's house? β
Mr. Ji said: "The blind man has nothing in his house, so he has asked the catcher to take some away." β
Jia Cong asked, "Is he really blind?" Mr. Ji nodded. Could it be that he made some mark that the unblind would not notice? β
Mr. Ji smiled bitterly: "It's burned clean." β
Jia Cong took a bite of the walnut cake: "Then it's hard to check." β
Mr. Wang looked at him for a while and said, "Mr. Jia doesn't seem to be worried about Jiang Laosi?" β
Jia Cong said: "I don't know." β
"Why did Mr. Jia pay so much attention to my eldest brother's daughter?"
"I've always been mindful of women and children."
Mr. Wang nodded lightly, and said, "What I just said, Mr. Jia might as well think about it again." β
Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "Thank you for being able to afford it, thank you Third Highness." Let's not get involved. Mr. Wang smiled slightly and led Mr. Ji to leave.
Jia Cong personally sent the two of them out of the mansion, turned around to see Jia Taijun, and explained in detail what happened to Fang Cai, and finally said: "Originally, it was a serious matter, but Mr. Ji suddenly said that he wanted to take back his fiancΓ©e, which was a little abrupt. I wondered if that was true. β
Jia Taijun pondered: "The woman he was engaged to at first was originally his cousin, and after the two families divorced, they married into the prince's mansion as a side concubine, but I heard that he and his wife are also considered piano chords, and there is nothing wrong with it." β
Jia Cong held his cheeks and said, "Could it be to test me something?" What can be found out by making up a gossip? β
Jia Taijun thought about it from the beginning and said, "Your Royal Highness will tell you something important about it, and by the way, I will mention Mr. Ji's affair." You don't even ask about important matters, but only about romantic affairs. This shows that your mind is not on business. β
Jia Cong touched his nose: "What's there to tempt here, everyone loves gossip." β
Jia Taijun said: "It's okay to do this." I'm afraid that the two of them will be suspicious that we know Jiang Laosi's whereabouts. β
"There is no evidence, and it is impossible to guess. By the way, can my aunt and grandmother find out anything? β
Jia Taijun then called that Xiaomei out. It turned out that this Xiaomei had been Jia Taijun's scout in her early years, and yesterday she disguised herself as a servant and infiltrated Ding Chu's house, and peeped into a small ancestral hall of his house, which really had Ding Chengwu's tablet. There were two guests in Ding's Mansion last night, and she couldn't overhear what Ding Chu said to them. The first one she recognized was the eldest son of Lord Chen, the prefect of Taiyuan; The second one did not recognize. She was so bold that she walked past the man in the guise of a daughter-in-law who was on vigil, and saw it clearly. After returning to Gao's house, he drew a portrait of the person and wanted to take it out to find an excuse to investigate.
Jia Cong recognized the portrait at a glance: Wang Chengzuo.
