Chapter 194: A Complicated Relationship The Sudden Eunuch
Xia Jingui, born in a wealthy imperial merchant family, was born quite beautiful, and also knew a few words. However, he is arrogant, pungent, jealous, and extremely vicious.
Why did the original shopkeeper of this restaurant have to sign a deed with the transfer of ownership with him, and it wasn't the Xia family who tied up his family and threatened people's lives?
When Xia Jingui leaned over to approach Jia Cong, the strong smell of fat powder almost stunned him.
"Lord Xiao Jia, the slave family can't help himself, please raise your noble hand high, the slave family will have a good reward!"
Jia Cong covered his mouth and nose, hurriedly took a few steps back, and fanned in front of his nose: "Just talk, what are you doing so close?" It's smoked to death! ”
To tell the truth, Xia Jingui has a good appearance, and his figure is also top-notch, and most of the melon eaters around him are itching for him.
Even Xia Jingui himself is often proud of his appearance, feeling that he is not inferior to the noble daughter of the family, and the biggest problem is that he does not have a noble family background, so he lacks opportunities.
Jia Cong's sentence smoked the young master to death, almost slapped her in the face in front of everyone, making the original flattering smile on Xia Jingui's face disappear in an instant, and instead hung up with frost on his face, and a trace of jealousy in his eyes flashed away like a thunderbolt.
Sensing the malice, Jia Shiyi's right hand rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist, ready to attack.
Jia Cong actually noticed the change in Xia Jingui's eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Although the Xia family is wealthy, there is a heavenly difference compared with the Jia family. Do tigers care about the threat of rats? What's more, the little fat man is a dignified royal cat!
Xia Jingui had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Lord Xiao Jia, this restaurant is not what my Xia family wants, and the Xia family is just acting on behalf of the nobles." If you want to come to Rongguo Mansion, you don't want to go against the nobles. ”
She emphasized the word noble, wanting to stop Jia Cong from continuing to make trouble.
However, Jia Cong just walked into the restaurant with the cat in his arms, and slowly came to the private room on the second floor facing the street, looking at it from afar.
This restaurant is on Zhengyang Street, not far from the north side is the official offices of the six departments and five temples, and you can even see the red walls and green tiles of the Forbidden City.
He laughed and said, "Good location, no wonder, no wonder ......"
Jia Shiyi also followed up the building, frowned and said after looking at the four directions: "Not to mention that if there is an ambush here, you can control most of the civil and military officials of the upper court at the right time." Little Third Master, will there be a loyal palace behind the Xia family? ”
"I don't know, but the daughter of the Xia family feels that she can overpower our family, so she has to be a county king-level figure. There are only a few in the capital, so check it out. ”
Jia Cong had already seen the Daxing County Commander brought by his own soldiers, the six-grade Jing County Commander, and at this time he was scolding the Xia family's pig teammate in his heart.
When he came to the door of the restaurant, Jia Cong leaned on the second floor and shouted: "Please go upstairs to speak." ”
"Xiaguan Daxing County ordered Shen Xingrong to meet Master Jia."
Daxing County is Jing County, with a high rank and a local level, and the county order is the sixth grade.
At this time, Shen Xingrong finally understood the saying: Three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng.
What kind of sin did he do in his last life, seeing that his three-year term of office expired, he didn't expect such a thing to happen......
He did not hesitate to express his embarrassment, and explained bitterly: "Lord Jia, the lower official is also a last resort, the noble person personally ordered, and the lower official had to obey." ”
Jia Cong teased the kitten on the table and asked in a flat tone, "Which nobleman?" Let's hear it. ”
"Lord Shen, please think clearly about what to say and what not to say, and be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth."
"Yo, someone threatens the imperial court!"
Jia Cong raised his eyes and saw that there was a middle-aged scholar at the door of the private room, frowning, and wanted to stop Shen Xingrong from telling the truth.
I saw this scholar bowing slightly and saluting Jia Cong.
"This restaurant is in the Xia family, but it is just a misunderstanding of Lord Shen......
Jia Cong didn't answer the words, and said coldly: "Come on, slap your mouth!" ”
"If you can't punish a doctor, you can raise people in a dignified court, and adults are high-ranking and powerful, and they can't set up a private court......"
Jia Cong didn't play cards according to the routine and stunned this person. Seeing that the pro-soldiers of Rongguo Mansion were approaching, they hurriedly racked their brains and said words of response.
If you have a meritorious reputation, you can indeed see the official without kneeling, and the punishment will not be added.
It's a pity that at this point, Jia Cong followed the temperament of the eldest master, and the prince dared to fight, not to mention a small lifter.
Bang Bang Bang ......
After more than ten slaps, the scholar's mouth was speechless.
However, Shen Xingrong was frightened by the scholar's warning after all, and was reluctant to reveal the true identity of the nobleman.
The soldiers have already taken the booklet of the household, and the new owner of the restaurant recorded on it is indeed the scholar in front of him, Ningrunchi of Hejian Mansion.
"Tut-tut, such a good location, I only gave two thousand taels of silver!"
Jia Cong threw the booklet on the table, looked at the original shopkeeper of the restaurant who was brought by the soldiers, and Wen Yan asked, "Uncle, how much is your restaurant worth?" ”
The old man trembled and bowed down and replied: "Lord Qiqi, the price of the restaurant is five thousand taels of silver, and the villain has already discussed it with Lord Xue, and the things in it are together with the restaurant, totaling five thousand five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Brother Xue, did you bring any money?"
Well?
Xue Pan subconsciously took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them all to Jia Cong.
Jia Cong took out five thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets from it and put them on the table. Dong Dong knocked on the table: "Shen County Order, I don't embarrass you anymore." The silver ticket is here, and the owners of the two parties are also there, so you can draw up a new deed and transfer the ownership. ”
"My lord, the lower officials don't dare to ......"
Shen Xingrong's mind was now full of notes handed over to him by the scholar that day, and in the face of Jia Cong's gentle words, he didn't even have the courage to step forward.
Xia Jingui, who was stopped at the door, bit his lip and wanted to speak, but was reminded by the maid in a whisper: "Girl, even Mr. Ning has been slapped in the mouth......"
Hum!
Jia Cong snorted coldly: "It's okay if you don't write, then go to the Imperial Prison and stay." ”
As soon as the word edict came out, Shen Xingrong couldn't take care of Ning Runchi's threat and warning, and immediately picked up the pen on the table, and wrote the new deed after a while.
After signing the deed and transferring the ownership, the old shopkeeper got 5,500 taels of silver, returned the 2,000 taels to the Xia family, and was personally escorted by the personal soldiers of Rongguo Mansion and returned home.
After a brief tidying up, I followed a dart game south to my hometown that day.
Of course, these are all later words, the restaurant at this time has changed owners, but the matter is not over.
When the old shopkeeper was found by the soldiers, he had just been reunited with his wife and children who had been released. Jia Cong said coldly: "The Xia family of the imperial merchant and the son of Hejian Mansion Ning Runchi, kidnapped others, forcibly seized them, and temporarily detained Daxing County. Shen County order, go back and try the case well, this official will always pay attention to the progress of this case, if someone threatens you, you can come to Rongguo Mansion to find me at any time. ”
Shen Xingrong wanted to cry without tears, but after hearing Jia Cong's last words, his heart was a little relieved. With this master's attention, that noble man should be too much.
The accompanying officials stepped forward and wanted to escort Xia Jingui and Ning Runchi to the Daxing County Ya, but Xia Jingui shouted: "Presumptuous, I am the concubine of Prince Yizhong, you dare to be rude!" ”
This loud drink really scared the people in the restaurant, including the county magistrate Shen Xingrong.
He looked at Jia Cong hesitantly: "This ...... This...... My lord, this ......"
"How could Daxia ever have a prince's side concubine?"
Jia Cong is not wrong in what he said, the palace of Daxia does not have the title of side concubine, and if the second concubine already has a son, she is not allowed to choose a successor regardless of her concubine.
According to the example of internal assistance, if there is a concubine to nominate a concubine, and no concubine can choose one person to manage family affairs and raise children, it is not allowed to ask for the title of second concubine.
The concubine of the prince or the prince of the county, whose son has been enthroned as the prince, and the concubine does not survive, is allowed to be the second concubine.
And the side concubine in Xia Jingui's mouth is actually talking about the second concubine of the palace. But Liu Ye, the prince of Yizhong, was born in the Xuanfu family, and in the second year of Yuanyou, the sage gave the female official Li as the second concubine of the palace.
In other words, as long as the Li family does not die, it is impossible for her to become the second concubine of Prince Yizhong's mansion in her life. As for the concubines in the palace, they can't be on the table at all.
Shen Xingrong was still worried, but he smiled when he saw Jia Cong: "Concubine Xia, why don't you send Concubine Niangniang to the Yizhong Palace, let's ask Prince Yizhong, is there a person like you in the backyard of the palace?" ”
Xia Jingui was frightened for a moment when he released cruel words, and he subconsciously spoke. This will be repented again, where dare to bring trouble to Prince Yizhong's mansion?
However, if she really goes to prison, her reputation will be ruined, and Prince Yizhong will definitely not let her set foot in the palace again.
At this moment, a personal soldier walked in and whispered to Jia Cong, and a waiter downstairs begged to see the third master Cong.
Jia Cong came downstairs from the private room and saw the waiter, to his surprise, this person turned out to be sent by Xia Shouzhong.
All sides have been emptied, and after a greeting or two, the waiter explained his intention.
"Slave Xia Jiang, temporarily in charge of the affairs of the Inner Government Division."
Jia Cong asked suspiciously, "What is the Inner Mansion Division?" ”
"Lord Hui, the Inner Mansion Division is a new order issued by the emperor, responsible for monitoring the Quartet and detecting rebellious ministers and thieves who are not loyal to the emperor......"
Xia Jiang smiled flatteringly and said: "The godfather of the slave and maid, Xia Shouzhong and Xia's father-in-law are always in charge of the internal government department, and the slave and maid are temporarily in charge of complicated and trivial matters. Lord Xiao Jia, my godfather said that Xia Jingui was the person that Prince Yizhong looked down on, but the matter of this restaurant was the handiwork of King Zhongshun. Let the adults put a long line to catch a big fish, and don't kill the bait. ”
Jia Cong muttered: "Liu Ye is really heavy-tasted, is it so good?" ”
"The slave maid thinks that Prince Yizhong should be interested in the Xia family, not Xia Jingui."
Xia Jiang bowed and said: "This matter is handed over to the slave and maid by the godfather, and if Lord Xiao Jia is interested, he can send someone to Nanxunfang outside Dong'an Gate to look for the slave and maid." ”
Jia Cong glanced at the respectful Xia Jiang with deep meaning, smiled and nodded: "Interesting, interesting." I know, I won't miss Grandpa Xia's plan. ”
After sending Xia Jiang away, Jia Cong immediately ordered: "Uncle Eleven, immediately send someone to check the relationship between the Xia family and the Yizhong Palace, the Zhongshun Palace, and check this Ning Runchi to see who he is." ”
Jia Shiyi asked cautiously, "Little Third Master, what about this Xia Jiang?" The first feeling he gave his subordinates was extremely uncomfortable. ”
"Not for the time being, someone will be more anxious than us."
Jia Cong pondered for a moment and whispered: "Reveal the matter of Xia Jiang to Cao Jiugong and let him worry about it." ”
……
Ning Runchi was sent to Daxing County Prison, and Xia Jingui was only invited to the Yabian House in Daxing County, and the Xia family spent a lot of money to ransom people out after a while.
Shen Xingrong didn't stop for a moment, and sent the silver to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Cong looked at the box of silver and divided it into two parts, one of which was sent to Lixiangyuan, and the rest was kept.
"San'er, where did you get the money?"
As soon as Master Yu entered the door, he saw the silver of the white flowers, picked up a piece and weighed it: "Ten taels of silver, I'm afraid there are 10,000 taels of these things." ”
Jia Cong nodded, told his father about what he encountered today, and said suspiciously: "My son is a little puzzled, since Liu Ye is behind the Xia family's daughter, why would she go to such great lengths to do things for Liu Chen?" ”
Master Pardon is also a little confused, this relationship is so complicated.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to ask for help. So he took his youngest son through the side door of the east cross courtyard and went straight to the study of Ningguo Mansion.
"Then there's only one possibility......"
Jia Jing frowned after listening to Jia Cong's description. He said in a deep voice: "With the stability of Your Majesty's throne, whether it is Liu Ye or Liu Chen, it is difficult for them alone to fight against Your Majesty who has a stable throne, so they collude together. ”
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
Brother Cong summed it up well, no matter what happens in the future, the biggest possibility for them now is to huddle together for warmth. After all, the saints are old, and the connection sickness makes them feel great fear. Without the protection of the saint, His Majesty will not be merciful. ”
Jia Jing walked to the window, and the capital gradually dimmed after sunset, he pondered for a while, and instructed: "Brother Cong, this matter is over, don't interfere." ”
"Why? Uncle, this is a good opportunity. Not to mention Liu Ye, Liu Chen has a big enmity with our family......"
"Have you heard of that Neifu Division before?"
Jia Cong shook his head, and Jia Jing continued to ask: "Then Xia Jiang came today to stop you from punishing Xia Jingui, do you really think this is what Xia Shouzhong meant?" ”
"Can this be fake, he dares to lie to me?"
Jia Jing asked again: "From the time you first arrived at the restaurant to the arrival of Xiajiang, how much time did you share?" ”
Jia Cong estimated the time: "About half an hour...... I understand, Uncle is saying that this time is simply not enough for this matter to reach the ears of Xia Shouzhong in the palace, and then the word will come out. ”
Jia Jing nodded: "Yes, Xia Jiang won't lie to you about his identity, but he has his own plans." Even if you go to Xia Shouzhong to confront him, this Xia Jiang also has enough reasons. ”
Syllable!
Jia Cong slapped the table angrily and scolded: "Damn, this guy dares to lie to me!" ”
"These are all trivial matters, and I only have one thing to worry about now, what is the purpose of the existence of this Inner Division."
Jia Jing looked up at the full moon hanging on the treetops, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Your Majesty also wants to follow the old path of eunuchs interfering in politics?" It shouldn't be! ”
……
In an official office outside Dong'an Gate, Xia Jianggao sat and listened to the reports of his subordinates.
"The first lord, the humble has arranged for someone to go to the Daxing County Ya, Daxing County made Shen Xingrong unwilling to obey the orders of the adult, he said that Lord Xiao Jia of Rongguo Mansion is very concerned about this case, and Ning Runchi cannot die in the Daxing County prison."
"Hehe, our royal cat is really famous......"
At this time, Xia Jiang didn't have the flattery and humility he had in the restaurant before, sneered, and ordered: "You go in person and tell Shen Xingrong that our family is doing things for the emperor, and even Rong Enbo Jia can't miss the emperor's major affairs." ”
Syllable!
He slapped a dragon golden order on the table, and said coldly: "Tell Shen Xingrong that you are obedient and have a bright future." If you don't listen, the Nine Clans will not be able to protect it! ”
