【033】The conspiracy of Li Guogong
Shenjing City is populated and the market is bustling.
Tea houses and wine shops are lined up, and pawnshops and workshops are dotted.
The streets are bustling with people.
Peddlers and pawns, foot merchants, south and north tones, noisy people.
Jia Chen stepped a stone grinding plate on the side of the street, jumped into the air, stretched out his left hand and pulled on a wine flag, with the force of pulling, his body was raised again, and his feet took turns to step on the railing on the second floor twice, and after taking off again, he raised his hands and grabbed the eaves of the second floor, and jumped onto the roof of a restaurant.
This series of actions is like a smooth flow, all in one go.
"Look, that kid can fly!" When a vendor squatting on the street and selling vegetables saw this scene, Huo Di stood up, raised his hand and pointed to Jia Chen, who was on the roof, and let out an exclamation.
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and when they saw Jia Chen who was running on the eaves, they were all taken aback and stunned.
At this time, Feng Tang, the general of Shenwu, under the escort of more than a dozen generals from the family, rode his horse through the street, and happened to see Jia Chen's figure flying on the roof.
Swift as an ape, moving like a rabbit.
"Huh? Isn't this Jia Chen, a disciple of the Rong Mansion? In Feng Tang's mind, he suddenly remembered the scene when he first met Jia Chen.
Unexpectedly, this kid not only has great strength, but also can work lightly, and can kick the wall and the house, like walking on the ground.
Compared with this kid, Feng Ziying, the son who has always been proud of him, is also dwarfed and overshadowed.
"This kid's eyes have been locked in a certain direction, as if he is chasing someone?" Feng Tang's heart was full of suspicions, and he was very curious about what Jia Chen wanted to do?
"I want to see, who are you chasing?" Feng Tang's heart moved, turned around the horse's head, and chased after Jia Chen.
In order to avoid attracting Jia Chen's attention, Feng Tang did not let the generals follow, but rode alone far behind Jia Chen.
The streets were full of people, muffling the sound of Feng Tang's horses' hooves.
Jia Chen didn't notice that someone was riding a horse behind him, and his eyes were locked on Liu Fang and his group of evil slaves.
Since the slaves were all wounded, they supported each other and walked very slowly, all the way through the streets and alleys, and after a few turns, they entered the mansion of the prince.
This Guogong Mansion covers an extremely wide area, Jia Chen stands on the roof of a teahouse opposite the gate of the mansion, his eyes go beyond the courtyard wall, and he can see that there are pavilions and pavilions scattered in it, dotted with trees, mountains and stones, and the trees and mountains and rocks are full of green and sloppy and grandiose grandeur.
There is still a melodious sound of the guqin, and I don't know if it is a deep boudoir lady who is playing the strings.
Jia Chen jumped down from the restaurant, and after seeing Liu Fang and his party enter the Liguo Mansion, the door slowly closed.
Since I'm here to spy on information, I can't just knock on the door and ask for a meeting.
Jia Chen first climbed to a poplar tree by the wall, and then stepped on the horizontal branches, the rabbit fell, his body flew out more than a foot away, and then lightly toe on the wall, volleyed a harrier turned over, and landed steadily in the courtyard of the house.
At this time, Liu Fang and his party had just bypassed a marble wall and walked to the depths of the Liguo Mansion.
Jia Chen lurked in the shadows, concealing his figure with the help of rockery trees and pavilions all the way, and quietly followed behind.
After crossing a white marble bridge, Liu Fang parted ways with a group of evil slaves and walked into a magnificent hall alone.
Jia Chen avoided everyone's gaze, jumped a few times, jumped into the flowers under the windowsill of the hall and hid.
Through the half-closed screen, the voices of conversation in the hall can be clearly heard:
"Master Qiyu, I have already followed your instructions and molested Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law You Shi and her sister Second Sister You."
Listening to the voice, the person who spoke was Liu Fang.
Jia Chen was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that Liu Fang was instructed by someone to tease You and Second Sister You.
Is the eldest man Liu Fang called his father or his grandfather Liu Biao?
Jia Chen felt that it was more likely to be Liu Biao, because Liu Biao was the acting prince of the country and the eldest man of the Liu family.
Seeing that there was no one around, Jia Chen quietly probed and glanced into the half-hidden window.
Opposite Liu Fang, there was an old man with silver hair and a silver beard and luxurious clothes, judging by his age, it should be Liu Fang's grandfather Liu Biao.
I saw Liu Biao twisting a string of rosewood Buddha bead bracelets, and smiled cunningly:
"Fang'er, you have made a contribution, and in this way, there will be a rift in the relationship between our family and the Jia family, and even become a hostile relationship, which is exactly what Your Majesty likes to see.
The Emperor Taishang is very old, I am afraid that he will not last for a few years, we must draw a clear line with the founding line, show loyalty to His Majesty, lest His Majesty settle accounts after the autumn, and when dealing with the founding line, we will also clean up our family together. ”
Liu Fang asked with some hesitation:
"Master, I don't know something, the Jia family is a double prince, and it is the one who is second only to the four kings in the founding lineage, why should we offend the Jia family first?"
Liu Biao sneered:
"Persimmon should be pinched softly, although the Jia family is known as a double country, but that is the old yellow calendar, the current Jia family generation is not as good as the generation, there is only a famous and powerless old lady of the history of the first grade, and he is still supporting the empty shelf of the strong and middle-class cadres, as for the children of the Jia family, they are all a group of wine bags and rice bags, and none of them can stand up to the door.
Moreover, Jia Zhen, the patriarch of the Jia family, is a soft bone, a few days ago, his son married a wife, and as a result, he was treated by a nine-year-old doll at the faint ceremony, groveling, discredited, and disgraced.
Therefore, deliberately offending the Jia family first is actually the best idea. ”
Liu Fang suddenly smiled with a realized smile: "The eldest master is wise! The men of the Jia family are indeed a group of mud that can't support the wall. ”
Liu Biao's eyes showed a thoughtful look and muttered:
"It's best to plant a shadow in the Jia Mansion, responsible for spying on intelligence, so that we can know the movements of the Jia family at any time, if Your Majesty wants to clean up the founding of the country, the Jia family will inevitably be in front, and we can make timely responses according to the Jia family's wind and grass."
Liu Fang pondered for a moment and said with a smile:
"I have a candidate, it is a gentleman who is still righteous and chivalrous, named Liu Xianglian. He helped out in the Rongguo Mansion, occasionally singing Kunqu opera, playing the flute and playing the kite, so as to live by the Jia family.
If you look into it carefully, in fact, he is the same clan as our family, and he is a son of a side branch. ”
Liu Biao squinted his eyes and asked thoughtfully, "Is this person reliable?" ”
Liu Fang commented:
"Liu Xianglian has a bold personality and is uninhibited, but she is a little arrogant, unruly, and self-willed."
Liu Biao sighed lightly and said:
"It turned out to be a wild and untamable horse, you go to meet him, if he is willing to serve us, you can reward him with a lot of honorarium, if he is unwilling, there is no need to force it, let's choose someone else."
Jia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't expect that Liu Biao's ancestors and grandsons were calculating the Jia family, and they also wanted Liu Xianglian to be a spy.
