Chapter 223
On this day, Jia Cong got up and listened to the report from the people below, saying that there seemed to be a mess at the intersection of Ningrong Street last night, but no one saw it in the dead of night. Jia Cong let out an "oh", ordered someone to take out the clothes from the door, ate some breakfast and went to Feng Ziying's house to play.
Chen came again that night, this time earlier than the previous two, and his face was gloomy. Jia Cong turned over and sat up and put on his clothes and asked, "What were the four rings outside after you left last night?" It's like a firecracker. β
Chen said in a low voice: "Grandpa Liu has been arrested!" β
Jia Cong was shocked: "How could it be! He's so high! I went to Feng's house today, and I didn't look like Brother Feng had made a great contribution or caught a big person. β
Chen recounted the story. It turned out that Liu Dengxi and Chen left Jia Cong's house last night, crossed the courtyard wall of Lixiangyuan and fell to Ningrong Street, and walked quickly against the wall. When she arrived at the street, she heard four sounds like firecrackers, and before she could understand what was going on, Liu Dengxi had fallen to the ground! Because there was a distance between the two of them, Chen was about to go over to take a look, and a fishing net fell from the sky, covering Liu Dengxi. Immediately, a rain of arrows flew from all directions, Chen pulled out the sword at his waist and pulled away the arrows, and heard Liu Dengxi shouting "go quickly" on the ground, but the opponent did not show up at all. It was obviously an ambush, and there were many more people on the other side. She didn't dare to fight, so she flew away and fled. came out to investigate today, no one knew what happened at that time, and Zuo Jin didn't even have a watch.
Jia Cong pinched the face of the futon while listening, and pulled off the piece in his hand after listening to the "tearing". Then he went down to the kang and circled around the room, and after a while, he said to himself: "If Brother Feng already knows, this matter is his trap. Even Lord Liu took it, why did he talk to me like he was okay today? Master Liu is a big fish, and I am just a small shrimp. The big fish is in the net pocket, and what are you trying to coax the little shrimp to do? If he still doesn't know, who is the one who captured Lord Liu? Does Situ Pan's subordinates have anyone else who cares about this? β
Chen said: "I'm afraid that Situ Pan's more than one team of men and horses is in charge of this matter." β
Jia Cong said: "No. It costs a lot of money to raise a spy, how can Situ Pan have so much money? In the old year, all the money confiscated by the big family was divided among his brothers. Feng Ziying probably still helped him work at a loss. β
Chen said: "Last night's arrow was from the Royal Forest Army. β
Jia Cong said: "The arrows of the Royal Forest Army may not be used by the Royal Forest Army. β
Chen said: "I thought that the Seven Princes should be sent away first. β
Jia Cong asked, "Do you have a very safe place to raise him?" β
Chen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "It's better than in your house." β
Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "If I have been exposed, Situ Pan's manpower must have been arranged outside the mansion, and you and I will not be able to take him away safely." If I have not been exposed, there is no safer place than Rongguo Mansion. β
Chan was silent again.
The room was silent for a long time, and Jia Cong gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise." It's not safe outside, and you're staying in our house for the time being. Your kung fu is high, if there is an accident, it will be easier for you to escape with your whole child, we just shout grievances and deny everything. β
Chan remained silent.
Jia Cong sighed: "I said Sister Chen, you also say something!" My skills are only enough to be a strategist, and fighting and escaping are mediocre, so you are more experienced. β
Chen asked, "Is there an escape escape in your house?" β
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "I don't know, do you know? β
Chen Shiqi said: "How do I know about the things in your house? β
Jia Cong pouted and said, "I thought you knew." Then don't think about it. If my father had known, he would have sued me; He didn't say it, either he didn't, or no one knew. β
Chen was silent again.
After a while, Jia Cong suddenly asked, "Is there anyone in the Imperial Forest Army who has a bad relationship with Brother Feng and is jealous of him?" β
Chen said: "I don't know this. β
Jia Cong thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "There are too few clues to guess." I guess there won't be any movement at night, so let's talk about it tomorrow. He asked her, "Do you want to stay in our house?" Or go back? β
Chen opened his mouth, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" outside, and Jia Cong jumped up: "What sound?" "You stay still!" "I ran out with my shoes on.
Jarvis and others were also alarmed, and some said, "It seems to be a ringing arrow used in the army." A group of people went to the courtyard with lanterns to check on it, and soon found an arrow lying under the stone steps with a letter hooked on it. Jia Cong picked it up and took it into the study to take a look, and the upright pavilion on it read, "One person for three people". Everyone looked at each other and asked, "What does this mean?" β
Jia Cong frowned and said, "Although I don't know why, there is always an intention." Ming'er went to ask Uncle Lin. β
After a careful search, there was nothing to spare, and after a while, they went to rest.
Jia Cong returned to the house with the arrow and the note. Chan asked, "Sounds like an arrow is coming in?" Jia Cong was silent and handed her the note. Chen's face sank when he saw it, and he went to ask for arrows again. Jia Cong also gave her the arrows, and she looked at them and said, "The arrows of the Royal Forest Army are the same as last night's." β
Jia Cong said: "Do you understand what this means? β
Chen was silent again.
Jia Cong had no choice but to sit dryly beside him.
After a long time, Chen asked, "Is there anything else?" β
Jia Cong shook his head.
Chen said: "When and how to change?" β
Jia Cong glanced at her and said, "You can't have kidnapped someone, right?" β
Chen said: "Prince Yizhong's old department. β
Jia Cong was stunned and said, "Prince Yizhong is dead, is his person still worth kidnapping?" What are you going to do with it? β
Chen said: "The saint is in their hands. β
"Uh......" Jia Cong wanted to speak again and again, and only said for a long time, "It's impossible." Where do they come from? If Prince Yizhong's people are so powerful, he will be a saint. I always thought that the saint was in the hands of Situ Pan. If it was in their hands, I was afraid that it would have died long ago. β
Chen said: "How important the saint is, they will not move him lightly, they have to change their ideas." β
Jia Cong said: "What if it matters? Their master is dead, and there is no young masterβprobably not. What else can you do besides avenge your master? If you want to conquer the country, you have to have a master! β
Chen pondered for a long time and said categorically: "No." Only one girl escaped that year, and all the men were gone. β
Jia Cong blinked and said, "Could it be ...... They want to help that girl become an empress? β
Chen shook his head: "It's impossible." He pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I'll go first." Then he took the arrow and the book in his hand, and turned and left.
Jia Cong said behind him: "Be careful on the road. If you want to exchange hostages, Father-in-law Liu should be fine. β
Chen walked out without stopping, and nodded his head.
The next day, Jia Cong only did nothing and went over, and did not go to Lin Hai's mansion.
In the evening, Chen really came again and said, "I'll come to your house to live first, just to see if there is still news from them." β
Jia Cong nodded and said, "I've been thinking about it for a long time during the day, and I can only do this, and they already recognize my small courtyard." Then he stood up and said, "The house has been cleaned up, although it is smaller, it is still good to live in." We are all men here, so we can only grieve the eldest sister and pretend to be a maid. Sister Xun Mandarin Duck asked for a few sets of maid's clothes and put them on the kang, I don't know if it fits, I don't have any concept of clothes. I don't know the name of the eldest sister? Or a pseudonym? β
Chen said: "Since it is your maid, you can choose a name." β
Jia Cong smiled: "The names I have chosen are very strange. β
Chen said: "It won't take long to be horizontal and vertical, so it's okay to be weird." If your girl's name is weird and not weird, I'm afraid others will be suspicious. β
Jia Cong thought about it, since it was the girl's name, it had to be matched, so he said, "Since that's it, you will call it from now on. Point it. β
Chen was stunned: "What a strange name is this?" β
Jia Cong grinned and said, "How vibrant! Every day is a new start. dot, there is a rising sun every day. β
The Chen family had already said that he would take the name, and it was inconvenient to regret it, so he had to admit it. Then he went next door. The house was red. They live with sleeves, and they have everything they need, even out of the dresser. Chen looked around and said angrily: "Sure enough, it is a big family, and the houses of the subordinates are so neat. β
Jia Cong "cut", "Aren't I cold?" You are a big family in the palace. β
Chen: "The palace is completely different. Pointing to a row of puppets on the shelf, he asked, "What's that?" β
Jia Cong smiled: "It was made by 123 Romance Sister, and the girls in our house like it very much." "It's the same thing to tell her," Mickey Mouse, Y, Pleasant Goat, Lucky Cat, Winnie the Pooh, Bambi, Bugs Bunny. β
Chan asked, "What are these for?" β
Jia Cong said: "Play." They girls love this. β
"It's really interesting." Chen stood in front of the shelf and looked at the past, "I have never seen such a puppet, so clever." Your girl's craftsmanship is very tight, I'm afraid that the nobles in the palace will also like it. β
Jia Cong said proudly: "123 Sister Romance is dexterous and can be ranked first in our house." It's all her own fun, and my sisters have to say 'please' if they want to bother her to do a few. The nobles in the palace are not my people, what are you doing to please them? β
Chen Shi turned around and looked at him fixedly for a long time, seeing that Jia Cong was a little inexplicable. She suddenly said: "If you please the nobles in the palace, can you get a lot of benefits?" β
Jia Congqi said: "Can you get benefits? What are the benefits? β
Chen said: "Add an official to the knight." β
Jia Cong smiled again: "Eldest sister, you are teasing me!" The Son of Heaven has to be so mediocre that his wife decides to be an official and a knight, and a harem woman who gets a few stubborn weapons to add an official to a knight must have no brains. Besides, am I that incompetent? I don't have the ability to earn a future for myself, and I have to rely on the girl to be a puppet to please the nobles? If I am so incompetent, I don't need to be an official, it's good to be a gentleman young master, and if I force myself to become an official who can't be an official, I will be killed by a capable colleague sooner or later. β
Hearing this, Chen stood for a long time, and finally sighed: "No wonder Gonggong Liu and Feng Ziying, the king of Xian, praise you for your rarity, how many of you can say such a thing at your age?" β
Jia Cong sighed: "Sister Chen, do you still know Brother Feng?" β
Chen said coldly: "It's just a traitor." β
Jia Cong opened his mouth and closed it, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Although Brother Feng is also working for the emperor's family, the trees are scattered, and the birds are eaten and thrown into the forest, there is nothing wrong with him. Everyone has their own difficulties, and after all, there is a large family of people. β
Chen didn't say anything again, only scratched him a few times with his eyes like a knife. The moonlight is bright and murderous.
Jia Cong was completely unconscious, and only asked cautiously: "That...... I've heard that you are all chosen from among the orphans who have fled so that they will not be held back by your family, but is it true? β
Chen glanced at him: "Where did you hear that?" β
"Hey, hey, there's somewhere to hear it anyway."
A sneer appeared on Chen's face, which made people tremble a little when he looked at it in the moonlight. After a while, she said indifferently: "I am Chen Yi's granddaughter." β
Jia Cong moved his brows: "What a familiar name." Suddenly, he snorted, "Isn't Chen Yi the previous Duke of Qi?" Are you the young lady of Qi Guofu?! How can it be! How could you do this! β
Chen said: "When I was young, I was clever, so I let Gonggong Liu take a fancy to it, and I wanted to enter the palace in the name of Concubine Hui." β
Jia Cong gasped: "You can still rob people like this...... Oops, your house was also copied by Fang Xiong that day. β
Chen said: "If he doesn't copy the saint, he will copy it." There are only two conditions for me to be a female guard, the first emperor will raid the Qi Mansion after his death, and Chen Ruiwen will be ruined. β
Jia Cong suddenly understood that their family must have a big pot of dog blood when they sent the Chen family into the palace, and sighed: "I always sigh that life is often more bloody than comments, and sure enough, it never disappointed me." β
Chen sighed: "All the women who enter the palace, I am afraid that this dynasty will be counted even the previous dynasty, and only Jia Yuanchun's fate will be good, and I will meet you brothers." β
Jia Cong shuddered: "It's so dangerous! My sisters are all smart, but fortunately they have never met Grandpa Liu. Otherwise, when I grow up, they will suffer all the hardships. As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that it was inappropriate, so he said, "That...... I mean...... My sister doesn't have the talent to practice martial arts...... They are all literati, and they can only write poems and fill in the lyrics......"
Chen smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "What you said is the truth. Nai turned his head and glanced at the puppet on the shelf a few times, "It's time for me to rest, the third master, please come back." β
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Eldest sister is at her own convenience, I'm leaving." Then he turned and went back to the house cleanly, and did not give her a beating.
Chen saw that he was gone, and sat still on the edge of the kang by himself. After a quarter of an hour, the door opened, and a man slipped in. Chen stood up busily.
The man asked in a low voice, "How is Jia Cong?" β
Chen said: "There is nothing suspicious. Then he told him what had happened.
When the man heard this, he wondered, "Didn't he say a word of relief to you with such a look?" Speaking of which, he is not small. β
Chen said: "He is not curious about the affairs of Qi Guofu. As Feng Ziying said, this son is not nosy, and he is used to hanging high on his own business. And he was born with no heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, nor did he have the heart to fight unevenly. β
The man said: "Since they are not nosy, what are they doing with the Seven Princes hiding in their house?" β
Chen said: "I have a thought, I'm afraid I have a little bit of a strange idea. β
The man said, "You say." β
Chen said: "The criticism given to him by Situ Pan that day was that he was extremely intelligent, bold and careful, and said that this son was affectionate and unwilling to owe anything to others. At this point, I look like it's in the middle of a line. He was bold enough to raise the Seven Princes in the mansion; Because of his affection, he dared to excuse Feng Ziying in front of me; As for the reason why they raised the Seven Princes, with all due respect, I am afraid that it is not because of their loyalty to the Holy One. β
"Because of what?"
"He exonerated Feng Ziying, but he showed that he was not loyal to the saint. In this way, it is only for the sake of others to raise the Seven Princes. I guess it's because of Lord Lin. β
The man frowned, and only after a while did he say, "It's the past." Nai said again, "If we don't use this person, it's a pity to leave it to Situ Pan." You probably can't take him down? If not, when the Seven Princes are older, they must be removed. β
Chen said: "I'm afraid I can't. The Seventh Prince is only four years old, and when he is older, he has been getting along with the Jia brothers for so many years, and His Royal Highness himself wants to be able to take them down. Jia Huan and Jia Cong are in a similar situation, and these two will definitely help the Seventh Prince at that time, I am afraid that it will not be Situ Pan's turn. β
The man thought for a moment and said, "Reasonable." Nai sighed, "When the saint returns, the most rewarding person is Lin Ruhai!" Teaching students is better than the waste of the Manchu Dynasty. Then he ordered the Chen family to wait carefully in Rongguo Mansion, turned around and went out, and disappeared into the night.
