Jia Cong exposed Zhu Tong to the Gao family's father and son, and Gao Li led his three sons to block it. Jia Cong saw that the old man's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he hurriedly stood in the middle and made a "stop" posture: "Wait first!" ”

Zhu Tong was fast, and immediately flashed behind Jia Cong.

Jia Cong said to Gao Li: "I just said a few words to Mr. Zhu, although I didn't say it clearly, it is obvious that there is a hidden secret. He turned his head to Zhu Tong and said, "Mr. Zhu, what annoys me the most is such a thing as hidden feelings." Didn't the matter between Mr. Chen and his father back then also be a matter of concealment and concealment? The two of you are clearly partners, why can't you open the skylight and say something? Isn't it clear to be clear? ”

Zhu Tong was stunned, shook his head and said nothing.

Jia Cong frowned: "Is it so embarrassing?" Why don't you tell me, and I'll tell them? ”

Zhu Tong lowered his eyes and said, "I have nothing to say." ”

Jia Cong turned his head to look at Gao Li and said, "Did my cousin do anything to be sorry for them?" ”

Gao Li sneered: "May I ask what Gao has done to be sorry for General Bai?" ”

Zhu Tong only closed his eyes and said nothing.

The gentleman who followed Gao Li took a step forward, and before he could raise his arm, Jia Cong looked at Gao Mang: "Brother-in-law is staring at your family, don't let them come." ”

Gao Mang nodded. Jia Cong grabbed Zhu Tong's arm and left, leaving the Gao family father and son behind! dragged the people for a long time, and went around to a water pavilion, and this time there was really no one around. Jia Cong spread his hands: "I don't have a brain about this matter." But you're also a little too confident, and you shouldn't have let the Gao family know that you should have come to me quietly, what happened to you! The two of us are equally responsible. ”

Zhu Tong smiled bitterly: "Jia Sanye is really a god, I am speechless." ”

Jia Cong hehe You come in. You are an upstream and downstream relationship, not a competitor. ”

Zhu Tong said: "It has nothing to do with General Bai, it's my own business." ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Huh? Won't reads;! Do you want to marry a girl from the Gao family? ”

Zhu Tong was also stunned, and said inexplicably: "Where do you want to go!" ”

"You're not too young, isn't your own business just a marriage?"

Zhu Tong shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Mr. Zhu, can you make it clear? Fang is the one who broke you, don't I want to make up for it? Jia Cong pouted and said, "I always know more about the Gao family." Besides, my brother-in-law. You have to get through it now, right? You two still have to do business. No matter what, I always taught Gong Sanyi. ”

Zhu Tong was silent for a long time when he heard this, Jia Cong was almost impatient to wait, and he finally said, "I'm looking for the enemy who killed my father." ”

Jia Cong was taken aback: "What are you kidding!" ”

Zhu Tong turned his back and looked at a remnant lotus leaf on the other side of the lake: "My father was originally in the camp of Prince Xianyizhong." ”

Jia Cong pursed his lips, stretched his head to his side and whispered, "Therefore, your enemy is the Emperor Taishang?" Or is it a virtuous king? ”

Zhu Tong said indifferently: "In the matter of seizing the heir, the winner is the king, and I don't blame them." If the king wins, so will the two of them. ”

Jia Cong touched his neck and thought to himself, I, Mr. Lin, are on their side, and it is better for Prince Yizhong to lose.

"My father and the prince have a good relationship, and they are not known, but they have only come up with some ideas, and the prince rarely adopts them. After the prince was defeated and died, General Beringen saved the prince and entrusted his father with an orphan. The father thought about it again and again, and left home with the child alone, hiding in another country under a pseudonym. ”

Jia Cong sighed in his heart. He knew about the little man.

"Later, General Bai's people told me that my father's children were all killed by Situ Yan's men."

Jia Cong asked, "Was Xiao Shizi still a baby when he was killed?" Under the age of one? ”

Zhu Tong turned around and glanced at him: "It's only been seven months." ”

Jia Cong said: "That person from General Bai, is he a bad old man?" Did he send you some money and food? ”

Zhu Tong was a little surprised and said, "No, I'm in my forties." ”

Jia Cong let out an "oh". He just thought that when he first met Gong Sanyi, the old man went back to appease the families of his former comrades-in-arms, so that he stretched his neck and looked forward to it for a long time. It can be known that after Prince Yizhong did something bad, he didn't know how many people were unjustly killed, either explicitly or secretly. Nai sighed: "The evil of Zhulian is difficult to write. This law must be abolished. ”

Zhu Tong sneered: "Abolish? Whoever is the emperor will be scolded, the emperor has been scolded, how can killing only one be enough to relieve anger? ”

Jia Cong said casually: "Therefore, the emperor should not be given so much power, so that he can kill people just because he is unhappy." ”

Zhu Tong became more and more surprised when he heard this, and looked at him for a long time.

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't look at me so strangely. We are not the only country in the world, and the emperors of many countries have no right to kill. This is called a constitutional monarchy. Seeing that Zhu Tong's eyes were clearly interested, he explained, "That is, the law is above the monarch's power, and the law is extremely meticulous and thorough, and those who do not break the law cannot be killed." There is no such thing as the Nine Clans. ”

Zhu Tong said: "Is the Son of Heaven still the Son of Heaven?" ”

Jia Cong said: "The Son of Heaven can appoint officials, and the Son of Heaven has many, many taxes to spend;." Although the Son of Heaven did not commit the same crime as the common people, it was enough to choke. This is the case in many countries around the world. There are also countries that do not even have emperors, they are republics. He also talked about a lot of later political systems, and Zhu Tong's eyes widened more and more.

"There is such a thing!"

"It's more! The world is so big, we only see this one-third of an acre of land under our noses. Jia Cong snorted, he suddenly remembered that this was not the time to popularize the rule of law, and hurriedly said, "Stop, stop!" Let's get back to it and talk about it slowly. Your father-killing enemy is the emperor's person, how did you find here! ”

Zhu Tong said: "I heard from a subordinate who escaped with his life, my father originally took Xiao Shizi to hide very well, because he occasionally took in a person who was in a hurry to spend the night, and I don't know how to expose his flaws." ”

"......" Jia Cong was speechless, and only said for a long time, "It turns out that this kind of thing really exists!" I always thought it must have been a storyteller. ”

Zhu Tong said: "Later, General Bai led me to clean up my father's relics, and a note was scattered under the case, with a poem written on it, not my father's handwriting. The man who stayed overnight was a scholar. Three months ago, General Bai sent me a letter with a manifest of goods, the handwriting of which I remember all my life. ”

Jia Cong said: "Presumably, the list of goods belongs to the Gao family." ”

Zhu Tong nodded.

Jia Cong said: "From this, it can be seen that the person who harmed your father may be hiding in the Gao family now." In that case, why don't you just ask the Gao family to help you check? The two of you are partners. ”

Zhu Tong smiled bitterly: "General Bai sent people to test it, and let the Gao family come back." ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Of course, if you are just tempting others, you will be spying on trade secrets." Have you made it clear to others that the person is the emperor? ”

Zhu Tong said: "We are just doing business with them, how can we say it so clearly? You two are in-laws, is it clear that you are in-laws? ”

Jia Cong said: "It's quite clear. It's not because of my in-laws, it's actually because of my brother-in-law, I've already approved of it. Nai scratched his head, "Forget it, I can't tell you for a while." Mr. Zhu, this matter is serious......" He suddenly laughed, "I'm sorry, I remembered a joke. ”

Zhu Tong looked at him.

"It is said that the monkey does not know that it is delicious to eat the fruit with the skin peeled, and takes the banana and gnaws on the skin. There was a monkey who felt sorry for his monkey and taught him how to peel a banana. The monkey learned it after just one look. After a few days, the monkey bought oranges and came back for the monkeys to eat, not wanting the monkeys to still gnaw on the skin and not peel the skin. ”

Zhu Tong said: "It's not a good thing to listen to. ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Naturally, it's not a good word. When I went to Chang'an a few years ago, the matter of your classmate Chen Gongzi is true. ”

Zhu Tong immediately understood, and knew that he compared himself to a monkey, and said angrily: "How can such an ordinary business transaction between father and son and the Bai family's Gao family be the same thing!" ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Bananas and oranges are not the same thing, this is a matter of work habits." You are accustomed to hide everything and go and investigate it yourself, lest something slip of the tongue or a word of it. It is probably because Prince Yizhong's old ministry has been pursued by the imperial court for so many years. Now it is different from the past, and Prince Yizhong no longer has to be taboo. Besides, it is a taboo for the Gao family that the emperor's people hide in the Gao family, and if they know, they will definitely find out to the end. "No wonder the Chen family and the old eunuch easily broke into the little master's house, it turned out that there was a mole inside;! He frowned suddenly, "No! Wrong wrong! ”

Zhu Tong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Jia Cong grabbed Zhu Tong's arm: "Go!" ”

Zhu Tong didn't know why, so he had to follow him back from the water pavilion to the big flower hall. Most of the businessmen who had just come to the meeting had already left, and some of them had gathered to study and ponder the charts. Zhu Tongnai said: "Jia Sanye has made these real novelties, I'm afraid that others will be able to learn them immediately." ”

Jia Cong said: "I originally wanted them to learn." ”

Zhu Tong said: "Aren't you afraid that the disciples of the church will starve to death Master?" ”

Jia Cong said: "That's a useless master, if you don't starve to death by your apprentices, you will be starved to death by your peers." There are many things that cannot be done by a few alone. Because he glanced at it a few times, he didn't see the father and son of the Gao family, so he pulled a small guy and asked. The little guy said, the adults and the three masters all went to the study. Jia Cong nodded, and led Zhu Tong to Gao Li's study.

When he arrived at the door, the boy guarding the door came up and said, "Third Master Cong, the master said that if you come, just go in." ”

Jia Cong said "um" and went in with Zhu Tong. I saw Gao Li, his three sons, and the steward. Jia Cong stepped forward and said to the steward: "This gentleman, the kid apologizes first." ”

The steward hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Where do you dare to be!" ”

Jia Cong said: "The kid has very important and very close matters, which concern several families, and I want to discuss with my cousin and ask Mr. to stay away for a while." ”

Gao Licai said, "Mr. Zhao is a person I can trust", Gao Mang had already seen Jia Cong's eyes, and hurriedly said: "Dad, since it is a matter of several families, Cong'er doesn't know Mr. Zhao, so he doesn't dare to speak casually." It's the same with Mr. Zhao. ”

When Gao Li heard this, he gave up, and hugged his fist to Mr. Zhao and sent him out.

Jia Cong went outside to tell the guards a few more words, turned around and came back to take a look, Gao Li, Gao Ying, Gao Hua stared at Zhu Tong coldly, shook his head, and said to Zhu Tong: "Look, this is the disadvantage of being unclear." ”

Then he pulled Zhu Tong to sit down. Gao Li snorted heavily.

Jia Cong said: "Don't blame Mr. Zhu. There are some things I don't know that you don't want others to know, but now that you don't talk about it, you can't understand it at all, and I'm afraid we'll all be in trouble. ”

Zhu Tong sighed and said nothing.

Jia Cong didn't care about 3721, and poured out all the affairs, scholars, and goods lists of Zhu Tong's father and Prince Yizhong's little son. Finally he said, "There are two strange things about me. First, only a scholar like Zhu Tong would believe that his father suffered because he occasionally took in a passer-by for the night, and the passer-by happened to be the emperor's meticulous work, and his father happened to be careless and missed any flaws. The fine work is evident to inquire eight. Nine is not far from ten, and finally go and confirm: it's just fake, it's really killed on the spot. How could such a person be careless enough to leave a handwriting? How did such a careless person do it? Long dead. ”

Zhu Tong was also stunned.

"Second. Let's just think he forgot the sign in a hurry. I forgot it at the time, but I will definitely be able to remember it afterwards, I can't regret it, and I often think about it and often complain about how I made a mistake at that time, and I must correct it next time. Since that person knew that Mr. Zhu was Prince Yizhong's person, General Bai Lingen was obviously also Prince Yizhong's person, and Mr. Zhu's adoption of Xiao Shizi was also arranged by General Bai Lingen, how careless would he be to pass on his handwriting from the Gao family to the Bai family? ”

Gao Li thought for a long time when he heard this: "Cong'er, what do you mean?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I just thought about it, and Mr. Zhu's words are also right;." Their line of Prince Yizhong has been hunted down by the saints for so many years, and they have been hunted down quite miserably, so they are used to being cautious. When they encounter such things, they really won't be as uproaring as I am and say anything. Besides, the two of you are just doing ordinary business. This matter involves Mr. Zhu's murder of his father's enemy, how can he give it up? Cousin, think about it, if you were Beringen, would you say so many things? Or will you check it yourself? ”

Zhu Tong said: "I know what you mean." However, how could the thief not know that the prophet Bai Gao and the two families had business dealings nine years ago? ”

Jia Cong gave him a blank look: "This is called idle chess!" Also called an introduction! Instead of letting you look for clues on the side, why don't you give a bright object to distract your attention, in case there is something else to use in the future? Look, isn't it useful now? He then said to Gao Li, "Uncle Cousin, I'm afraid that this matter needs to be investigated carefully." Which cousin personally found out, and it was not through the hands of others. There are people who are too good to be the emperor in this house. ”

Gao Li hurriedly said: "What else do you know? ”

Jia Cong said: "There is something I am afraid you are worried about, so I didn't tell you." Last time, the Chen family who pretended to be a fan in Qunfang Building touched my house a few nights ago and scared me! ”

Gao Li stood up and shouted in a lost voice: "What! ”

Jia Cong said: "They are now sick and rushing to the doctor, they really think that I am a good wealth boy in the next life, and they want me to accompany me to Tianjin to find the emperor!" I refused to go, so she threatened me with my sister's little nephew! ”

Gao Mang stood up with a "snort": "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Jia Cong said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, let me go back with a counterthreat." I said that they dared to touch a hair of my sister's nephew, so I immediately went to Beijing and tried my best to persuade King Xian to stand on his own feet and kill all the seven sons of the emperor! She was frightened, took me out of the way, and left. I thought that the Gao Mansion had been very well guarded lately, and she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and even if she had been practicing martial arts since her mother's womb, it would not be so easy to find my house. I'm afraid that there are their people in the house. ”

Gao Li's cold sweat oozed out when he boarded, and he made a life: "Ying'er! Check it out for yourself! The government inquired strictly. Nai complained to Jia Cong again, "Why don't you say such a big thing!" ”

Jia Cong said: "I only think she is really strong in martial arts." Besides, they don't dare to mess around seriously if they are afraid, and now Situ Pan has not yet stood on his own, so the little emperor is the son of the emperor. ”

Gao Li pondered for a long time and said, "I don't know who it is." Ying'er, be careful, don't trust people at will. ”

Gao Ying agreed again.

Jia Cong said again: "Although Mr. Zhu is not his in this matter, he is filial piety, and he has never harmed his cousin, and he still hopes for Haihan." Besides, he's only been here for two or three months. ”

Zhu Tong looked at his nose and nose, and said in his mouth: "Zhu Mou, who has something to do with secrets, has avoided it." ”

Gao Li was silent. In all fairness, Zhu Tong really has no other way. It's just that he casually let him be Haihan, and Gao Li is not so generous.

Jia Cong added: "Now eighty percent of him has also been cheated." Besides, if he hadn't said it thoroughly, how would we have known these things? How can you scrutinize it? I'm not sure what will happen in the future. ”

For a long time, Gao Lifang said with a cold face: "That's it." ”

Zhu Tong only quietly gave a deep salute.

Jia Cong casually revealed Zhu Tong's identity, which was originally intended to cause Gao Li to be wary of the staff beside him. Because the man who wrote the little paper scroll knew a lot, he was most suspicious of this person. Zhu Tong is not familiar with things in Beijing, so it should not be him. First there is Zhu Tong, and then there is no one who must be fine, Gao Li no longer dares to trust the staff at will. Then he instructed Gao Mang and Zhu Tong to check the list of goods. Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
