On the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, Jia's mother set up more than a dozen tables in the big flower hall.

Inviting all the nephews, granddaughters-in-law, and Aunt Xue's family from Ning Rong's second mansion to celebrate the Lantern Festival together can be regarded as a family banquet.

Jia Cong took You Shi, Qin Keqing, Ping'er, and Mandarin Duck to Rongguo Mansion early.

accompanied Lin Daiyu and other sisters and played for a while.

At the beginning of the banquet, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng greeted Jia's mother, and then went back to their own courtyards and went happily.

In addition to the female rolls, only Jia Lian, Jia Cong, and Jia Huan were left at a table.

Jia Cong also took a look around, got up and left.

Jia Cong has made an appointment with Miaoyu to take her to see the Lantern Festival tonight.

When Jia Mu saw Jia Cong leaving, she asked the mandarin ducks beside her.

"Brother Cong is not at home for the holidays, what are you going to do?"

The mandarin duck said: "Old lady, although it is a holiday today, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division must continue to maintain order at the Lantern Festival, and Grandpa Guo said that he was going to inspect to see if there was any laziness." ”

Jia Mu nodded, and the lantern festival did not stop much in previous years.

Such a lively lantern festival provides convenience for those traffickers, and many children disappear and are abducted by traffickers every year.

If something really happens, the Five Cities Terracotta Division will also be responsible.

Jia Cong, as the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, can't get out of it, so it's really a good thing to be cautious.

didn't ask any more questions at the moment, turned his head and laughed with Aunt Xue and the others.

······

Jia Cong left the Rongguo Mansion, took Li Biao and a team of guards, and drove out of the West City Gate.

By this time, it was already dark.

Coming to the gate of Muni Temple, Jia Cong went all the way unimpeded and came to Miaoyu's Zen Temple.

Miaoyu was already ready and neatly dressed, wearing a pure white fox fur coat outside, with a white veil tied around her face, covering her eyes completely.

Miaoyu is already beautiful, and this outfit makes Jia Cong's eyes shine.

Jia Cong smiled: "At first glance, it looks like a masked woman, can we go?" ”

Miaoyu smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Miaoyu took her maid, and the three of them went out of the Muni Courtyard, got into the carriage, and went all the way into Shenjing City.

If it's too late, the city gate will be closed, and this time is just right, but if you want to go out of the city again, you will have to find a relationship.

When the time comes, let's see what Miaoyu means, if not, go to Ningguo Mansion for one night.

The carriage came to the intersection of the Lantern Festival, and Jia Cong helped Miaoyu get out of the carriage.

Since the other entrances of the Lantern Festival were sealed, only one entrance and one exit were left, and the Lantern Festival became orderly and better managed.

Seeing this, Jia Cong asked them to continue to maintain their current status and completely sealed the other entrances.

And some of the passages in the lantern festival were also blocked, turning into a one-way line, which was more orderly.

The soldiers of the Terracotta Division who were guarding the entrance of the Lantern Festival saw Jia Cong coming and hurriedly greeted him.

"Subordinate, meet your lordship, my lord, are you going to go in for a walk?"

Jia Cong said: "Well, I'll go in for a walk, you guys show me the carriage." ”

"Your Excellency, just go in, there is no problem with the carriage being placed with us, you can rest assured."

Jia Cong nodded and took Miaoyu and the others into the lantern festival venue.

Li Biao led a few people to open the road in front, and there were also a few people in the back to block pedestrians who wanted to come forward, leaving a certain amount of space around Jia Cong and Miaoyu.

The two walked side by side in the lantern festival venue, following the flow of people.

There are all kinds of lanterns on both sides, including four-cornered palace lanterns, hexagonal palace lanterns, octagonal palace lanterns, round lanterns, flower basket lanterns, double-fish lanterns, gourd lanterns, etc., which are dizzying.

There are also some light trees, lampposts, lantern wheels, carp lanterns, frogs, rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, etc., which are dotted in the meantime, looking more colorful and making people forget to leave.

Gradually, all kinds of large-scale lanterns come into view, such as the color lotus boat, Qiongzhan Yutai, the eight immortals crossing the sea, the seven saints descending the demons, the havoc in the heavenly palace, the Tang monk learning scriptures, Nezha making trouble, the merchant Dan'er, the five ghosts making trouble, the double dragon playing with the pearls, the horses and flowers, the peacock opening the screen and so on.

All kinds of lanterns are really dazzling and dazzling.

In this scene, I can't help but think of Xin Qiji's "Green Jade Eucalyptus", "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain." The BMW withered car is full of incense, the phoenix flute moves, the jade pot turns brightly, and the fish and dragon dance all night. ’

Jia Cong has come to see it once, but he doesn't think anything.

Miaoyu was the first time to see such a lively scene, and she was very excited.

Pulling Jia Cong, asking you this and that, full of interest.

Although Miaoyu was born in a wealthy family, she has been practicing with her master, but it is rare to see such a lively scene.

After all, she is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and when she sees such a scene, she naturally reveals her true feelings.

The two were talking and laughing, and with the flow of people, they slowly came to the exit.

Miaoyu said: "Grandpa Guo, this lantern will open my eyes, today is really worth the trip, thank you for accompanying me out to see the lanterns." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Why are you so polite to me, this is too angry, now that the city gate is closed, follow me to Ningguo Mansion for one night, and I will send you back tomorrow." ”

Miaoyu thought about it, but did not refuse, and nodded in agreement.

The two were just about to go to the entrance to retrieve the carriage when the soldiers at the exit ran over.

"Subordinate, meet your lordship."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, just be on an errand." ”

Seeing that the guy hesitated, he didn't retreat, and looked like he wanted to say something.

Jia Cong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" If you have something to say, just say it, don't babble. ”

The man said: "My lord, a group of people came out just now, holding a child, the child didn't know if he was asleep or what, he didn't react at all, we felt suspicious, so we went up to check."

A group of people next to us surrounded and coaxed us to stop us from looking at the children, it looked like a group, and the subordinates suspected that they were human traffickers, but there was no evidence, so they were a little hesitant. ”

Jia Cong carefully observed this person, and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, and he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

He repeatedly ordered and notified all the gangs in Shenjing City to prohibit human trafficking in Shenjing City, but would anyone dare to ignore his own laws and continue to do human trafficking?

If that's the case, you're forcing yourself to kill.

It's just over the New Year, do you want to let yourself kill again?

"You're not mistaken, are you? Has anyone who lost a child come to me? And those people, do you know or are you familiar with them? ”

"Back to my lord, those people are really suspicious, no matter how noisy they are, the kid didn't react at all, but he didn't lose the child's findings, and those people didn't know his subordinates."

Jia Cong said: "What's your name, who is your leader, call him over." ”

The man said: "Subordinate Liu Hui, it is the leader of these people, I have already sent two brothers to follow, how to deal with it, please show me." ”

Jia Cong gave Li Biao a look and asked him to ask the other soldiers to confirm the news.

Although these people are their subordinates, they are not very familiar with them, this kind of thing should be cautious, but don't be fooled, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are too deeply entangled with the forces below.

These people can easily be bought.

I still offended some people in the capital, so the two princes won't talk about it.

When rectifying the capital, there were three gangs that did not listen to the command, went against themselves, and were destroyed by their own people, although the people behind them did not act, it was impossible to treat it as if it did not happen.

I must have hated myself very much in my heart, but I didn't act rashly.

For these people, Jia Cong also knew about them, and secretly guarded against them, and asked Tie Zhu to arrange people, focus on them, and also focus on collecting their intelligence.

If you really want to tear your face, then you will kill it directly.

As long as it's not royal, let them disappear silently, it's just too simple.

It is precisely because of the example of the loyal and obedient king that these people do not dare to act without permission and have been in a wait-and-see state.

At this time, Li Biao came back and nodded at Jia Cong, confirming that what this guy said was true.

Jia Cong said to Liu Hui: "Send someone to inform your commander, gather people, strictly check at each entrance, find out the whereabouts of these people, investigate the matter clearly, and pay attention to whether there are any lost children." ”

Liu Hui said: "Yes, my subordinates respect the order, so I will send someone to inform the commander." ”

Jia Cong thought for a while and said to Li Biao: "You take a few people to stay, ask where the gang is, follow and see, be careful, don't be calculated, if you are a human trafficker, remember to stay alive." ”

Li Biao hesitated for a moment and said: "Grandpa Guo, there will be no one by your side when I leave, so I'd better send you back first, so as not to bump into you without opening my eyes." ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's okay, just leave me half of the manpower, I hope someone jumps out, it's been too calm recently, it's good to have something to do." ”

Li Biao nodded, and no longer insisted, he knew his master's skills, but he was not too worried.

Watching Jia Cong and Miaoyu leave, Li Biao inquired about the whereabouts of the group and chased after them with four personal soldiers.

······

Miaoyu followed Jia Cong's side, and seeing that Jia Cong didn't care much, she couldn't help but say: "Grandpa Guo, seeing that you are not worried at all, aren't you afraid that those people are really human traffickers?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "What is there to worry about?" I haven't found out yet, I don't know, and I haven't lost the child's report, it's just that guy's guess.

I let Li Biao stay, it's enough to deal with this matter, and then I will make plans when I find out clearly, I just put the capital in order a few years ago, it is said that this kind of thing should not happen, let's go home first, and wait for further news. ”

Miaoyu nodded, she didn't know much about these things, but she was afraid that Jia Cong would delay her business because of herself.

Seeing that he looked like he was in his chest, he didn't say anything more.

The two came to the entrance and got into the carriage, Jia Cong rode on the horse, followed the carriage, followed by six guards, and went all the way to Ning Guofu.

Although there was vigilance along the way, nothing happened.

From time to time, I saw a group of soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, patrolling the streets, which could be regarded as dutiful, and it seemed that they did not take their words as a deaf ear.

Back to Ning Guofu, let Miaoyu go to her yard to rest, which has always been reserved for her.

By this time, it was not early, and most people had already rested.

Jia Cong returned to her yard, Mandarin Duck, Attacker, Qingwen and the three did not rest, they were still waiting for themselves, Xiangling probably accompanied her mother.

Mandarin duck and raider, serving Jia Cong, freshened up, and asked, "Master, why did you come back so late, and that Miaoyu also brought back?" ”

Jia Cong nodded, for the few people around him, Jia Cong did not hide his whereabouts.

I had already told them before leaving, and they naturally knew it.

"Well, it's so late, the city gates are closed, so I can only bring her back."

Mandarin duck said: "This Miaoyu looks good, but some of them are too arrogant and not very gregarious, master, you don't want to take her in, right?" ”

】

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Miaoyu was originally a rich lady, because of her body, she has followed her master to lead her practice since she was a child, far away from the worldly red dust, living in the deep mountains and ancient temples, and her temperament is naturally high and arrogant.

She lives in our house, and she also feels a little unaccustomed, she still has to stay in the Muni Monastery and keep filial piety for her master for a year, as for what happens in the future, then let it be.

Besides, since I accepted you, I feel that this time is a little insufficient, especially at night, there is no time at all, and I don't plan to accept people for the time being, so let's deal with you first. ”

The attacker covered his mouth and smiled: "Master, are you still cheap?" There are a few of us who serve you wholeheartedly, and you still dislike it? ”

Jia Cong laughed and said: "How can you dislike it, you are my baby, I am rare and tight, if you are not around, I am really not used to it, go, sleep together tonight." ”

Qingwen smiled: "Master, I've already warmed up the bed, come in quickly." ”

Jia Cong took off his coat, lifted the quilt and got in.

A hot body came over, and Qingwen said with a smile: "Master, it's warm, right?" ”

Jia Cong smiled: "Well, it's very warm, you are the little stove of the master." ”

Mandarin ducks and raiders also went to bed, and it was not the first time that several people slept together, and during the time when they went to Jiangnan, they slept together almost every day, and they had long been used to it.

Besides, it's not warm to sleep together in this winter.

Jia Cong has been eating meat for almost half a year, and he is not idle almost every day, sometimes several times a day, but he is not so anxious.

Several people were lying on the bed, unable to sleep for a while, so they began to gossip.

Jia Cong told him about the suspected human traffickers tonight, and several people had experienced the Jinling Huazi Gang incident, and they were already familiar with these things.

Qingwen didn't take it seriously, got into Jia Cong's arms, and said with a smile: "Master, what is there to worry about, it's not a big deal, with our current news channels, if it is really human traffickers, it only takes one day to arrest them."

Besides, didn't you leave Li Biao behind, with Li Biao here, such a trivial matter must have been easily solved. It is said that the gangs in the capital have seen the methods of the master, so they should not have the courage to do this, is it a foreign gang? ”

Jia Cong said: "Whether it is foreign or local, once it is verified, no matter who is involved, it will not be tolerated." ”

Qingwen said: "Let's wait for tomorrow to talk about these things, it's not early, tonight three to one, master, do you want to try it and see who lies down first?" ”

This girl is quite confident, I forgot that I was by myself last time, and today I have a helper, and I am angry again.

Jia Cong laughed and said: "Bibi is Bibi, who is afraid of whom, let the horse come." ”

Just when several people were eager to try and prepare to fight one-on-three, there was a knock on the door, which made Jia Cong have to temporarily take a truce.

Then, Chunlan pushed the door and walked in.

"Master, Chen Sanmei came to report, Li Biao is back, I am in a hurry to see my master, I heard that another brother is injured."
