In the yard.

The "squeak" sound of the fat dripping on the charcoal on the barbecue, mixed with the tempting aroma of meat, made everyone waiting on the side swallow their saliva uncontrollably.

"Third Brother Cong, hasn't the meat been roasted yet?"

This is not the first time Xichun has asked, but Jia Cong's answer is still the same as Fang Cai.

"Wait!"

As he spoke, Jia Cong pinched a pinch of cumin and chili powder from the saucer and sprinkled it.

"Hiss......"

Now even the eyes of Daiyu and Yingchun on the side are a little wrong.

A moment later.

In the scorching eyes of everyone, Jia Cong turned the barbecue meat skewered with iron skewers twice and put it on the plate that had been prepared a long time ago, and smiled at Daiyu and the three of them: "You can eat it now!" ”

The voice did not fall.

Xichun has already opened the bow left and right, copied two skewers of barbecue, and feasted on it.

Although Daiyu and Yingchun have never been so bold, they eat very quickly in small bites.

After finishing another wave of barbecue that was almost hot, Jia Cong instructed the maids: "Next, the barbecue work will be handed over to you, don't forget to roast yourself more!" ”

Ruyi, Qingwen and other maids responded with a smile.

The other side.

Because the barbecue was sprinkled with chili powder, the three Daiyu, who rarely eat spicy, turned red with spicy faces, Rao was like this, but no one was willing to put down the meat skewers in their hands.

Jia Cong was amused, and hurriedly poured a cup of warm tea for each of them.

I took two strong breaths of cold air to ease the spicy taste in my mouth.

Daiyu asked curiously: "The red powder that Third Brother Cong just sprinkled should be the kind of pepper powder that was put in the hot pot, right?" Sure enough, it's extremely spicy. I just don't know what the other dish of cyan powder is? ”

"Red is indeed a pepper."

Jia Cong nodded, pointed to the plate of cumin powder again, and said with a smile: "As for this plate, it is a powder made of cumin, which is specially used to remove the smell and increase the flavor." ”

"That's what happened!"

Xichun was "surprised" and said: "No wonder there is almost no taste in this barbecue, I also said that the third brother Cong's cooking skills are good, it turns out that it is because of these cumin powders." ”

Seeing Xichun doing something strange there, Jia Cong feigned anger and said: "It's good to be able to roast it for you, and dare to dislike it!" ”

When Xichun heard this, he first reached out and grabbed a few skewers of barbecue, and then provoked: "Just dislike it, what can you do?" ”

Everyone burst into laughter again.

In the midst of laughter, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, noon had passed.

Daiyu, Yingchun, and Xichun, who were full of food and drink, were sent away, and when Jia Cong returned to the house, he heard the self-striking bell "Dangdang" ringing three times in a row.

It's time to apply.

Two or three hours have passed since He Dong and He Bei discovered the abduction gang at the temple fair in Baoguo Temple in the morning.

I didn't receive a reply from the four brothers in the south, east, and west.

Jia Cong was also a little anxious in his heart.

Then he ordered Xing'er to say: "You go to the door of Yimen to find a little one, ask him to inform the porter, and when you see them coming back, you will report immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as Xing'er took the order and turned around, Xiao Tao's voice rang out at the door, "Third master, a little maid just came, saying that He Dong was in a hurry, and this son was waiting outside the Yimen." ”

I heard that He Dong was back.

Jia Cong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After telling Xing'er that she didn't need to call someone to inform the porter, Jia Cong hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and went straight to Yimen.

Not much.

As soon as Jia Cong came out of the Yi Gate, he saw He Dong who looked like an iron tower not far away.

He hurriedly asked, "Are your four brothers injured?" ”

He Dong hugged his fists and said: "Third Master Xie cares, the four of us brothers are just quietly following them in secret, and they haven't missed face-to-face fighting, where will they be injured?!" ”

"It's good that you don't get hurt!"

Jia Cong laughed and asked again: "You came back in such a hurry, didn't you find the den where the kidnappers were hiding?" ”

"Yes," He Dong's face was a little heavy, "Originally, I felt to He Bei that those kidnappers were only three or five people at most, but who knew that what we met was just a small team of many kidnappers......"

"Just a squad?"

Jia Cong's brows furrowed, "That is to say, these people are abducting children in Baoguo Temple, and there should be other places as well?" Did you find out how many people you had on each other? ”

"The number of people on the other side is not clear," He Dong shook his head, "but the den we found along the vine alone contained dozens of kidnapped children and more than thirty guards......

With so many people, it is no longer something that Jia Cong can solve with the four people from the southeast, the northwest and the southeast.

After all, those kidnappers have dozens of children as hostages, which is enough to make Jia Cong and others throw rat traps.

Suddenly, Jia Cong's heart moved.

Isn't this a good opportunity to get close to the Chengde Emperor?

Make up your mind.

Jia Cong instructed He Dong to go back first and continue to stare at it, and he would bring someone over later, and then changed into his official uniform and hurried to the palace.

……

In the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chengde was criticizing the pile of seemingly endless twists and turns, while Qiu Shi'an stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, General Jia Cong is asking to see you outside the palace gate!" ”

"Jia Cong is here?"

Emperor Chengde raised his eyebrows, "Announce him in." ”

"Yes!"

Not much.

Qiu Shi'an led Jia Cong to the Qianqing Palace.

"Minister, Jia Cong, knock to see Your Majesty!"

Jia Cong saluted respectfully.

Above, Emperor Chengde was looking at the fold in his hand, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Jia Aiqing, let's be flat." ”

The voice did not fall.

Jia Cong stepped forward and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the main purpose of the minister coming here today is to borrow two hundred people from the Jinyi Mansion with you!" ”

“……？？”

Emperor Chengde looked up in amazement, "Jia Aiqing just said that he wanted to borrow two hundred people from the Jinyi Mansion?" ”

"Yes!"

Jia Cong replied very affirmatively, and found the abductor at the Baoguo temple meeting in the morning, and sent someone to follow him, and said that he had found the hiding place along the vine.

Emperor Chengde gasped first.

Then he said angrily: "Shenjing is the first good place at the feet of the Son of Heaven and admired by the Quartet, how can such a thing happen, the bastards of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, are they all eating dry rice?" ”

As he spoke, he untied a gold medal from his waist and threw it to Jia Cong.

"You don't have to go to the Jinyi Mansion to transfer the people and horses, you just need to take my gold medal to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and by the way, tell them that if this matter can't be properly resolved, I will solve the black gauze hat on their heads!"

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Minister, Jia Cong, receive the order!" ”

……

Hurriedly out of the palace, Jia Cong went straight to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

On horseback, Jia Cong suddenly remembered something.

"It seems that Qiu Liang of the Marquis of Jingtian Mansion is serving in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, right?"

Jia Cong's face was strange, "His family is also the founding of the country, and he has a good relationship with the Jia family, so am I a disguised pit of my own people?" ”
