The group of Kedao Yanguan was loved and hated by the emperors of the past dynasties.

Unlike those speech officials who have something to say and are not afraid of power and really ask for the people's lives, like Huang Muyuan, who sells his name and seeks fame and specializes in stirring up, not only the emperor dislikes it, but even other officials in the court and the central government will not be welcome.

Emperor Chrysostom said that the palace announced the disposition of Huang Muyuan and others. Except for a few officials from their faction, no one came forward to intercede for them.

Fang Jingyan quietly checked the purse in his hand, heavy, so good!

"Hey, I'm really the God of Gambling in Great Xia! For a full two quarters of an hour, he was hammered and punished, and his official hat was lost, it seems that Huang Muyuan and others have choked His Majesty this time......"

Huang Muyuan and the others were dragged out by the dragon guards, and the emperor snorted coldly: "You wait for the herdsmen of the heavens, and the government is heavy, so you don't think about sharing my worries and don't think about speaking up for the well-being of the people, but you are staring at my harem...... Is this the way of the human servant in your mouth? ”

In an uproar, all the officials bowed down and sang in unison: "Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are waiting for death!" ”

"Anger at my heart? Ten thousand deaths? It's this set again! ”

The emperor flicked his sleeves: "Don't say such useless words in the future, Daxia will not be convicted for words, but I hope that when you impeach others in the future, at least you can be justified, don't make such a big joke like today." You can afford to lose this man, but I can't afford to lose it! ”

After that, the emperor ordered someone to pull Jia Cong out of the palace and stick him on the spot.

Acting a full set, ten boards still have to be played, and it must be played with the fairness, fairness and openness of the emperor......

Everyone gathered in a circle to watch Jia Cong next to the board, and Fang Jingyan was the last to walk out of the Qinzheng Palace, with a trace of bitterness on his face.

Because of the silver he had just "earned", half of it was taken away by the emperor.

The emperor, who was still furious in the palace just now, was happily carrying more than ten taels of silver from the "fake" at this time, and said to Xia Shouzhong: "Companion, the next time you encounter this kind of good thing, remember to remind me, this silver is really good." ”

"It's good if the emperor is happy~"

The big eunuch wanted to cover his face and leave, so he could only answer with a wry smile.

The emperor put the silver in his sleeve, walked in the direction of the harem, walked a few steps and suddenly turned around and ordered: "By the way, big companion, you will arrange for someone to send some of the newly obtained venison to Rongguo Mansion in a while, I remember that Jia Cong, this kid is a person who likes to scratch in his mouth......"

Under the eyes of hundreds of officials, Jia Cong was supported by two Han generals, "staggered" out of the palace, climbed into the carriage and prepared to go home to accept the punishment of grounding.

But the wheels had only rolled twice, and a call came from outside the carriage.

A personal soldier of Rongguo Mansion ran over from afar, panting and shouting: "Third master, third master, something happened at home~"

Well?

Jia Cong pulled the curtain and frowned.

Second Master Lian has returned to Beijing, what will happen to the family, so that the soldiers came to the palace gate in a panic to find him.

"Early this morning, my uncle and my cousin went to the Dabao'en Temple outside the city to offer incense, and when they returned to the city, they met bandits and were robbed. The second master had already taken someone to look for it, and his wife asked his subordinates to find the third master and hurry home. ”

"Ridiculous! Where did the bandits come from at the feet of the Son of Heaven? ”

Jia Cong couldn't care about pretending to be injured, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

He took the horsewhip from the hand of the soldier on the side, and ordered while getting on the horse: "I'll go home first, Uncle Eleven will go to Shuntianfu to report the case, tell the people in Shuntianfu, let them contact all the gangs in the city, and check myself out within an hour." No matter who it is, send them back to me obediently, or you will bear the consequences! ”

Immediately he galloped his horse and hurried home.

……

Although Mrs. Xing doesn't want to see her cousin, she still has feelings for this niece Xing Xiuyan.

Since Xing Xiuyan came to the capital, the little girl has been elegant and steady, knowledgeable and courteous, which can be regarded as earning her a lot of face.

Originally, she was thinking about finding a good family for her niece, so as to fulfill her niece's filial piety to her these days.

Who would have thought that just after telling the wife of the Xue family about Xue Zhen and Xing Xiuyan's family affairs, before the official decision was made, there was such a thing.

was kidnapped by bandits, if you don't get people back quickly, what reputation does it have?

When Jia Cong hurriedly returned to the mansion, Mrs. Xing was crying with the old lady, and Yingchun and others were also in Rongxi Hall, and they were all in a hurry.

The old lady was also full of anger, this was a slap in the face of Rongguofu, the in-laws of the Jia family were actually kidnapped by bandits under their noses.

"Don't cry! Use your brain, where are the bandits at the feet of the Son of Heaven? It's for our family......"

Jia Cong lifted the curtain and walked in, and said calmly: "Grandmother is right, it can't be a bandit, someone must have instructed it." Don't worry, wife, I have already asked people to go to Shuntianfu to report the case......"

As soon as she heard that Jia Cong had asked her to report the case, Mrs. Xing immediately exclaimed, "What? How can you get people to go to Suncheonfu to report the crime? No one else can cover this matter, if it spreads, how will Sister Yan be in the future? ”

"I can't hold it, since people have already made a move, how can they let go of this good opportunity."

Jia Cong calmly analyzed Mrs. Xing: "No matter who instigated this matter, no matter what their purpose is, what we have to do is to put this matter on the bright side." Looking for someone with great fanfare, tracking down the murderer with great fanfare, and putting on an attitude of pursuing it to the end, can these people be jealous and dare not do anything to their cousin. ”

The old lady is also a person who is used to seeing selfish deeds, so she nodded and said: "Brother Cong is right, only by showing a clear attitude of pursuing the matter to the end can others be more scruples." In this way, Brother Cong, you will go to Shuntian Mansion now, let the people of Shuntian Mansion check door to door, and let out the words, no matter who kidnapped the mother and daughter of the cigarette girl this time, as long as he dares to touch a finger of their mother, Rongguo Mansion will ask him to take his life to atone for the crime! ”

"Grandson is going here, and I will definitely bring my cousin back safely!"

The old lady's thoughts were almost the same as what Jia Cong thought in her heart, the only difference was that Jia Cong didn't plan to use the people of Shuntianfu.

He didn't even change his official robe, turned around and went out of Rongguo Mansion, patted his horse to Fusi in the north town of the Dragon Guard, asked the Dragon Guard to help find out, and went to the Yulinwei station, directly mobilized a thousand Yulin Lang, and directly set off a huge storm of searching for people and chasing the murderer in the capital.

Jia Lian is almost the same, the second master of Lian, who has just served as the governor of the rear army, has a cold face at this time, mobilizes thousands of people, and spreads out his manpower on the official road leading to Dabao'en Temple, almost inch by inch.

Although the two brothers didn't even fight each other, they adopted the same strategy.

Soon, it spread inside and outside the capital that the in-laws and cousins of Rongguo's mansion and Mrs. Rongguo's niece were kidnapped by bandits.

The second master of Lian and the third master of Cong ignored the laws and regulations and mobilized an army to look for people everywhere.

and released cruel words, if the mother and daughter lose a hair, all those involved in this matter will have to take their lives.

Shuntianfu Cheng Jiahua will be more anxious than ever, he personally sent someone to call the gang leader in the city, if he wants to find clues from it, it is best to find people directly.

It's a pity that no matter what means Jia Hua used, he didn't hear any news from the mouths of this group of gang leaders.

Until someone inadvertently said the word Cao Gang, Jia Hua's hairs stood up in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"What you say is true? The people of the Cao Gang once appeared in the capital? ”

The man was so frightened by Jia Hua's murderous intent that Ling Ran almost knelt down, and replied tremblingly: "Back to my lord, the dart game under the villain's hand has dealt with the Cao Gang a lot. A few days ago, the villain met Cui Chaoying, the deputy gang leader of the Cao Gang, in Xishi, and chatted with him for a few words. ”

Jia Hua eagerly asked, "Beicao or Nancao?" ”

Beicao is in Tongzhou, and Nancao is in Jinling......

I only heard the man reply: "It's the Jinling Cao Gang." ”

……

Cui Chaoying has been in the capital for more than two months, since the Cao Yun stopped, after the imperial court changed the Cao Yun to the sea, he was ordered to come to the capital, wanting to find an opportunity to abolish the sea transport and change the Cao Yun back.

It's a pity that the officials who took a huge amount of money from their gang avoided them like snakes and scorpions in this matter.

Until someone secretly found him and put forward a condition: he wanted Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion or Jia Cong's life.

Cui Chaoying almost didn't come up to suffocate to death at that time, does this person think he is a fool, assassinating the Jia brothers, what is the difference between that and looking for death.

Fortunately, this person only needs him to find a way to trick one of Jia Lian and Jia Cong into a remote place outside the city.

So, he squatted in the capital for two whole months, and finally found an opportunity when the mother and daughter of the Xing family went out of the city to offer incense.

Beizhen Fusi sent more than a dozen good hands who were good at tracking traces, and soon found clues in the place where the Xing family's mother and daughter had an accident.

However, this man named Li Cuifang frowned and held his chin in deep thought, and only walked to Jia Lian's side after a while and reminded in a low voice: "Little grandfather, the last general feels that this matter is fraudulent. This trace may seem hidden, but as long as someone is proficient in recourse, it can be easily spotted. Seem...... There is someone who can be placed in front of us so that people can trace the past. ”

Jia Lian, who was originally planning to lead someone to chase after him, suddenly reined in his horse and asked in a deep voice, "How sure are you?" ”

Li Cuifang shook her head: "The last general doesn't know what to say, but the last general's intuition has always been extremely accurate, little grandfather, this matter has to be guarded against." ”

Jia Lian didn't hesitate, let alone think that Li Cuifang was alarmist.

For people like Li Cuifang, who live on the tip of a knife every day, their intuition is often more accurate than anything.

On the one hand, he sent people to inform Jia Cong in the city, and on the other hand, he led people to continue to follow the traces.

This chase went directly to Tongzhou Wharf.

After Jia Cong received the news, he only took a dozen people out of the city to meet Jia Lian, and the people who stayed behind continued to search from house to house in the capital.

Tongzhou Wharf was at the busiest time at this time, and there was no trace of the crowded wharf, and the clue was broken on the edge of the canal.

This time, the Dragon Guards had no choice, so they had to judge according to their experience.

"Brother Cong will wait here first, and I will take people around to look for it and see if there are any clues."

Jia Cong nodded, and then saw Jia Lian wave his hand, and several lieutenants on the left scattered in all directions.

Within a few dozen breaths, the wharf in Tongzhou sounded with horses' hooves, followed by an abnormal noise, with crying, cursing, and complaining everywhere.

Jia Cong didn't care about these things, and after listening to the analysis of the dragon guard, he set his eyes on the sparkling surface of the canal.

At this time, a word came to his mind: Cao Gang.

In the past, there was chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and Cao Yun stopped. In order to send the grain, grass and silver from the south to the capital as soon as possible, he proposed to the emperor to boycott the Cao Yun and change it to sea transportation.

Could it be someone from the Cao Gang?

Since he thought of this, Jia Cong naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

He ordered his soldiers to go to Tongzhou City to find the people of the Cao Gang, and about two quarters of an hour, Qiao Si, the leader of the Tongzhou Cao Gang, personally brought people over.

Qiao Si cursed in front of Jia Cong and swore that he didn't do it, and said that he had already sent the task down, and the entire Tongzhou Cao Gang would assist Rongguo Mansion in finding the nobleman.

Coincidentally, before nightfall, there was news from the Cao Gang.

At the end of today's Shen Shi, there were people from the Jinling Cao Gang, who came from the direction of the capital with their families, and left Tongzhou by boat.

Jia Cong was almost certain that this team of centaurs was the person he was looking for.

"Second brother, you go back to the capital first. I went down the river to find ......"

Jia Lian is one of the five major governors of the dynasty, and he is not allowed to leave Beijing without an edict, and it is already the limit to go to Tongzhou.

Although Jia Cong himself has the emperor's ban on him, this thing is just a year's worth for Jia Cong.

"Okay, you take someone on the boat to chase it, and I will send someone to set off by land and pursue it along the river. I'll go back to the capital first to see if there are any other clues. ”

Jia Lian didn't object, and this matter became more and more strange.

Soon, the two brothers were separated at the Tongzhou wharf. Jia Lian sent a group of 100 forbidden troops south along the canal, and took the rest of the people to march at night, intending to return to the capital before dawn.

And Jia Cong took dozens of people, transferred an official boat and set off, and went downstream......

……

Xing Xiuyan woke up in front of her in front of her, but she felt that she should be in a boat at this time.

She quickly adapted to the light, and saw the figure next to her by a glimmer of light from the gap.

"Mother? Mother ......"

"Sister Yan~"

Wen also woke up, she tried, and her hands and feet were tied with ropes.

She struggled to move in the direction of the shouting, and finally leaned against her daughter.

Xing Xiuyan was obviously calmer than Wen, and stopped her mother's screams.

"Mother, we're on the boat...... In the short term, the thieves should not do anything to us. ”

Wen couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the group of fierce thieves on the official road.

I only heard Xing Xiuyan whisper in her ear: "I didn't have a good situation that time, so Ling'er secretly hid in the grass." As long as Ling'er goes to Rongguo Mansion for help, my aunt and cousin Lian will definitely send someone to find us. ”

"Ling'er?"

Wen remembered the cowardly but loyal little girl, who Wang Xifeng bought from the tooth man to serve his daughter.

"Ling'er's affairs must not be exposed, beware of thieves and dogs jumping off the wall."

After Xing Xiuyan comforted her mother, she gave an extremely solemn advice. Mother and daughter leaned together, comforting each other, looking for a little comfort in the darkness.
