I thought that the list of goods that attracted the Lingnan Bai family to send a detailed work to Ping'an Prefecture was extremely difficult to check, but I didn't want to find out in just two days. The list of goods was written by a tent surnamed Wen in the first important shop under the Gao family. Gao Mang and Zhu Tong went to the shop to take people in person, but the Wen tent room didn't know it, and took it right. The two interrogated together, and this was indeed the spy placed by the Emperor Taishang in Ping'an Prefecture, and it had been more than ten years.

It's just that this person is not Zhu Tong's enemy who killed his father, he was still in Ping'an Prefecture when Zhu's father died, and there are many people who can testify to it. Holding the poem note to show him, he said, "This was written when I was a student in my early years." Because of the posting of the dirty scroll of the scientific examination, he never made a poem again. Zhu Tong was extremely disappointed and withdrew.

Gao Mang continued to interrogate for a long time, and it turned out that this person was just a small minion, and he was only responsible for sending out the news that others gave him on weekdays. After Liu Dengxi disappeared, they had been taken over by Situ Pan's people, and the leader was Feng Ziying.

Jia Cong was stunned for a long time when he received the letter, and sighed: "The earth is really just a village. ”

Obviously, there are still old saints in Ping'an Prefecture who have not been dug up, and Gao Li ordered his three sons to investigate thoroughly, and he didn't want to find out a large number of fine works, including Situ Pan's and the princes', but he couldn't find out the emperor's people.

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "There is a kind of person called a double agent, who does more than one thing for one family. There are also intelligence dealers, who get the letter and sell it to more than one. When they were investigated, there were also those who were harmless to the Gao family to confess. ”

Gao Ying listened to it and went to check it again, and sure enough, he brought out a few double agents. It's just that the emperor's people still haven't been found.

Zhu Tong was much calmer at this time, and said, "What did the surnamed Wen do back then?" He never threw a piece of his poetry there. ”

Jia Cong said: "It's about to be used as bait." At that time, Bai Lingen was not so arrogant now, and he lost his official position because he was implicated by Bai Lingyi. Liu Dengxi is not sure who else is Prince Yizhong. He suddenly patted the case, "Check to see if he suddenly couldn't leave Ping'an Prefecture for any reason at that time!" Is there any big business to be busy with in your shop? ”

Gao Mang said: "I have checked, no." I can ask about this matter again. ”

He then interrogated the tent room for a long time, then came back and shook his head and said, "He just felt the wind and cold occasionally." ”

Jia Cong frowned; "So coincidentally? Have you checked his daughter-in-law? ”

Gao Mang was stunned: "His daughter-in-law? It was an ordinary woman. ”

Jia Cong glanced at him: "Qin Sangu is a woman, isn't she?" ”

Gao Mang immediately sent someone to take the daughter-in-law in the warm tent, and after a long time, nothing came out. Jia Cong looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "It's her." My brother-in-law is too kind to be tricky enough. Change to a more ruthless trial. ”

The daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Heaven and earth conscience! If the slave has a place where he can't live in the master's house, he will be killed on the spot by thunder and thunder! ”

Jia Cong said: "Why don't you make another oath, if you can't live with the Gao family, your six-year-old son will die with ten thousand arrows through his heart?" ”

The daughter-in-law shouted, "What do you have to do with my son?!" ”

Jia Cong said: "Your oath is no problem, because your master's family is not a Gao family." Besides, what are you doing in this business is to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, and what is it to swear by yourself? ”

Gao Mang also said: "It's better for you to swear according to Jia Sanye's words;." ”

The daughter-in-law opened her mouth for a long time, but she couldn't speak.

Jia Cong said: "Wen Tent used to be a scholar, but because of the dirty scroll, he died and became a spy. Therefore, his old poems must not be available to anyone. You are his daughter-in-law, and it is easy to pick up. If I'm not mistaken, then your man will have to ask the shop for a leave of absence and go around somewhere. For example, Prince Yizhong's people got the news that someone deliberately gave him to investigate, and when they heard that he had taken leave at that time and disappeared, and saw his handwriting, they could identify him as a murderer. Prince Yizhong's last trace of blood was killed, how could people not take revenge? Your husband is a bait, a bait for the Emperor Taishang to lure out the remnants of Prince Yizhong. You are a woman, and you have been married to your husband for less than two years, and you must not disobey the orders of the above, and you feel sorry for the man and are not willing to risk him, so you try to make him sick. He can't go anywhere, he can't do it. ”

The daughter-in-law said blankly: "What did this gentleman say?" ”

Jia Cong continued: "Now that nine years have passed, you want to use your husband as bait again to cause misunderstanding between the Bai family and the Gao family. Your son is six years old. At this time, the person you love most is no longer your husband, but your son. Although you are sad, you are also powerless and have no strength to resist, right? ”

The daughter-in-law became more and more dazed, just shook her head and didn't say a word.

Jia Cong said: "You are too calm. Naturally, this is not a flaw, it just makes me suspicious. Look closely at your fear, but there is a sadness. As soon as you frighten your son, fear comes. ”

The daughter-in-law shook her head vigorously: "The slave doesn't understand at all." ”

Jia Cong turned his head to Gao Mang and said: "When you go back, you coax her son, only saying that his parents were framed by a person named Liu Dengxi, and this person is afraid that they will tell the truth and kill his parents." This Liu Dengxi's appearance is that he is an old man without a beard, probably so tall......"

Before he could finish his sentence, the daughter-in-law exclaimed, "No! ”

Jia Cong bared his teeth and smiled: "Guess, what do you think will happen if Liu Dengxi asks your son for news but is assassinated by him?" ”

The daughter-in-law's face suddenly turned to ashes. After a long time, he said: "How did Mr. Jia get suspicious of me?" ”

Jia Cong squeezed his eyes at Gao Mang, turned his head and said, "You are too beautiful, I heard that you are extremely virtuous and capable, and your mother's family is quite wealthy. I can't figure out why you didn't find a better person to marry. Women usually marry at a higher place, and if they marry low, there is always a reason. Naturally, there are many kinds of sake. It's just that the identity of your husband at the moment is the easiest for me to be suspicious about this. ”

The daughter-in-law had a little ridicule on her face, and only said after a long time: "In this way, I can't hide it." ”

Jia Cong said: "Hmm. Besides, we have your son in our hands, and Mrs. Wen is still more cooperative. I don't understand, the Bai family and the Gao family don't do the emperor's business, what does the emperor provoke these two families to do? Or what did Father-in-law Liu provoke these two to do. ”

The daughter-in-law said, "It's not to provoke the two of them. It wasn't until Jia Sanye said that I 'caused a misunderstanding between the Gao family and the Bai family', and the slave was sure that Bai Lingen was indeed Prince Yizhong's person. ”

Jia Cong was stunned: "Isn't this matter known to everyone?" ”

The daughter-in-law said: "Beringyi is well known. Beringen, we have always been suspicious of him, but there has been no real evidence. Otherwise, where can he be so arrogant in Lingnan. ”

Jia Cong snorted: "Should he return his loyalty to the Emperor!" ”

The daughter-in-law snorted: "Do you really think that the imperial court doesn't know about Hong Kong? From there, the saint's own private treasury smuggled seafood. ”

"Flutter ......" Jia Cong couldn't help laughing, "Is there a mistake!" The emperor smuggles! Isn't it good to open a sea market directly? ”

The daughter-in-law lowered her head and said, "The first emperor refuses." ”

Jia Cong shook his head: "It's a big joke in the world!" He suddenly understood something, and clapped his high-five: "Tiger Talisman!" You want to check the Tiger Talisman! ”

The tiger talisman was hidden by Situ Yan. If you want to imitate so many high-quality tiger talismans, it is almost impossible to do without the original. Standing in Liu Dengxi's position, if it was the person who imitated the tiger talisman who was Prince Yizhong first, then Situ Yan was most likely to fall into the hands of the remnants of Prince Yizhong.

Because the Wen tent room was a clue that Liu Dengxi deliberately left for the remnants of Prince Yizhong, if Bai Lingen was not a person in it, the list of goods would have been written in vain, which could confirm that this person was credible. If you don't keep it even, there is also a list of goods next to it and threw it to the remnants of the suspected Prince Yizhong next to it, just to see which fish will bite the bait.

Jia Cong asked again: "Why didn't you know until this time?" You didn't know when General Bai sent someone? ”

The daughter-in-law laughed and said, "How do we know who he sent it?" ”

Jia Cong tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You don't know who raised that little son that day." ”

The daughter-in-law said, "The slave doesn't know." ”

Jia Cong turned his head to look at Gao Mang and said, "It seems that concealment has the benefit of concealment." If the old man hadn't concealed his identity that day, his son would probably not have lived to find out the matter himself. He sighed lightly, "Why bother, a seven-month-old child." If the Emperor is willing to leave a way out for others, he can also have a way out if he can't keep it. He does everything desperately, where do others dare to give him a way out. ”

Later, Gao Mang used this woman as bait and fished out her upper line, which turned out to be an old steward of Gaofu. interrogated for a long time, but fortunately, he didn't know what Jia Cong, Zhu Tong, Gao Li's father and son were doing that day, and he didn't know that Zhu Tong was Bai Lingen's person, and this news had not leaked out. Jia Cong couldn't help laughing: it turned out that his family knew a lot of things, but others didn't know at all. But I have a bit of a habit of treating what I know as if the world knows it.

This time, all the Jia Cong who can write find excuses to look at the handwriting one by one, and none of them are the ones who wrote the paper scrolls that day. He couldn't go to Gao Li in a daze, so he had to give up.

Now that this matter is over, it is time for Jia Cong to return to Beijing. He asked the imperial doctor again and again, went back to the courtyard to pack his things, and prepared to get up the next day.

That night, after nagging for a long time from Yingchun, Jia Cong was about to go to sleep, when someone knocked on the door lightly. When he opened the door, it was Mr. Zhao, who hurriedly let him into the house.

Mr. Zhao saluted him first and said, "Thanks to Jia Sanye, otherwise we adults wouldn't be suspicious of those people at all." ”

Jia Cong said: "There is nothing rare. Ping'an Prefecture is so close to the Beijing Division, and Uncle Cousin is a powerful general, and there are so many generals below, it is impossible without spies. This batch has been taken, and there is the next batch, and there will be no less. It's just that it's not easy for the newcomer to get the trust of his cousin casually. ”

Mr. Zhao sighed: "Not only the newcomers, but even us old people are a little worried. ”

Jia Cong blinked innocently: "No." ”

Mr. Zhao said: "You and Mr. Zhu were talking in the study that day, and later I asked the lord, and he only said vaguely that Mr. Zhu was ordered to check the accounts, and said that there were people from the emperor who entered the palace at will. It wasn't until a thorough investigation was completed recently that I was told the truth. ”

Jia Cong frowned and said, "Did he sue you?" That is Mr. Zhu's private matter, and it has nothing to do with Ping'an Prefecture and the Gao family. ”

Mr. Zhao was stunned and said, "This matter is extremely important after all. ”

Jia Cong said: "That's it, let's seek common ground while reserving differences." I don't think he should sue anyone who has nothing to do with it. Therefore, does Mr. Zhao think that his cousin may have overcorrected? ”

Mr. Zhao nodded.

Jia Cong said: "Wouldn't it be good for you to talk about it?" He didn't even notice it, you tell him what was in his heart. ”

Mr. Zhao sighed: "The old man's loyalty can show the sun and the moon, but it is useless. ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you two go out to play together." ”

Mr. Zhao was stunned.

Jia Cong said: "Go shopping, eat some street snacks, and go to the flower house to eat wine and bubble girls." Don't be a master and a subordinate, how annoying. If you want him to rest assured, just be his friend. ”

Mr. Zhao said curiously: "How can there be such a thing!" The Lord is the Lord, and the Ministers are the Ministers. ”

Jia Cong said: "It's okay not to talk about feelings." Talk about money. How much money and how many benefits he gave you, and you can't betray him for so many benefits, right? Where did others give so much? ”

Mr. Zhao was suddenly annoyed: "The old man followed the adult for the sake of benefit." ”

Jia Cong asked, "Then what are you for?" It's either for money or friendship, there's always a reason. ”

Mr. Zhao said: "I was a down-and-out businessman that day, I couldn't move in the middle of the text, I couldn't go into battle in the martial arts, and there was a piece of skill in the chest that had nowhere to show. Thanks to the support of adults, regarded as a confidant, in order to repay the kindness of adults, the old man is willing to do his best for adults. ”

Jia Cong said: "Oh, this is also a benefit, allowing you to show your skills." Have you told him to understand? ”

Mr. Zhao said: "Adults naturally understand. ”

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "Mr. Zhao, it's good for me to tell you a joke." He didn't wait for an answer, and then said, "Once upon a time, there was a young couple who lived in harmony and beauty. On this day, the husband came back from outside, and his face was full of unhappiness. His daughter-in-law served carefully, but her husband was still unhappy. He doesn't talk much, and he doesn't eat much. The next day, my daughter-in-law wiped her tears at the aunt next door and said, my man doesn't like me anymore, he must have another woman outside, and he didn't even say a smile when he saw me, and he didn't even bother to say anything to me. His man also told his brother who was working in a place that yesterday I was fighting crickets at the street entrance, and at first I won fifteen copper coins, and then I gambled a few more and lost twenty copper coins! I was so depressed that I didn't even eat. ”

Mr. Zhao couldn't hold back his laughter, pointed at him and said, "You, you, you...... Third master, why bother to make fun of the old man. ”

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Isn't it very similar?" ”

Mr. Zhao said with a smile: "Third Master Mang often says that Third Master Cong of the Jia family is a wonderful person, and it is really wonderful. ”

Jia Cong snorted.

Coming out of his courtyard, Mr. Zhao withdrew and went to Gao Li's study, and said, "On weekdays, I always feel that the third master, especially the third master, attaches too much importance to the third master. ”

Gao Li smiled: "Didn't I tell you?" You don't believe it. How about testing it for yourself today? ”

Mr. Zhao nodded with his hand and said, "This son will not bear him." "Jia Cong, the bear child of the Red Mansion
