Chengyang Bojiang Chengye and Sun Jiangling gave Jia Cong a wonderful feeling. To describe it in one word, they were sinister and ruthless. They were ruthless to their own people, ruthless to their allies, and even more ruthless to themselves.
The last time he had this feeling was the last time, and the person who gave him this feeling was named Wang Ziteng.
But Jia Cong still admires such people. In this world, it is often this kind of people who can better continue the family inheritance and win greater benefits.
Jia Cong agreed to Jiang Ling's request because he also needed benefits, and Jiang Ling's reasons made him unable to refuse, and I believe the emperor would not refuse either.
Daxia lacks nothing but time. If you can add sand to those dynasty worms in the southeast without sacrificing your own people, why not do it?
Jia Cong took it upon himself to beat Jiang Ling hard, really hard, until Jiang Ling's nose was bruised and his face was so swollen that he couldn't even recognize him, and then he threw him out of the restaurant.
After doing the whole show, Jiang Chengye was trembling with anger, trembling all over, and leaving Nanchifang City with his unconscious grandson, he said harsh words.
Song Ji originally thought that the Jiang family had betrayed him and others, but when he saw Jiang Ling in such miserable condition, his doubts immediately disappeared without a trace.
He knew very well how much Jiang Chengye doted on his grandson. Jia Cong beat Jiang Ling into this state, and the Jiang family and the Jia family were afraid that they would fight to the death.
Thinking of this, Song Ji felt secretly happy. With the Jiang family at the front, the Song family will be much safer. When they get home, they will send a letter to the south, asking them to quickly send people to increase their efforts to win over the Chengyang residence...
The Jiang family members left, but their people were still hanging inside. Song Ji and others wanted to break in again, but when faced with the knife in Jia Shiyi's hand and thinking of the misery of Jiang Chengye's ancestors and grandchildren, they all shrank back.
Jia Cong leaned leisurely on the railing and shouted to the bottom: "Old man Jiang is ignorant, and you have seen his fate. Ten thousand taels, ten thousand taels for each family, and you guys who paid for it will take it away. One penny less, I will I will break off their limbs and hang them on the city wall to dry!"
Mu Congying, a tough guy, was puzzled: "Five limbs? What are five limbs?"
Jia Cong glanced at the ignorant Mu Congying in surprise, and He Chong whispered: "Hands and feet are four limbs, and what the man said..."
"Ah? Where is it?"
He Chong held his forehead and did not intend to explain any more.
Song Ji was furious, pointed at Jia Cong and cursed: "Jia Cong, kid, don't bully others too much!"
"The Song family has fifty thousand taels!"
Jia Cong sneered: "If you dare to say another word, I will break the Song family's limbs first!"
Click!
While talking, Jia Cong pulled out his Yanling knife and chopped it on the wooden fence.
The gilded dragon pattern on the blade made Song Ji regain some sense. The people he was facing now were the Jia family who were never unreasonable, and they were the Counts of the Guochao Dynasty who treated the Second Saint as their own sons and grandsons.
They are both uncles, but they are very different.
With the golden sword given by the emperor, even if his nephew was chopped down by Jia Cong, the emperor would not really punish him.
Penalty? Or is it grounding? Is that punishment?
I can't bear it, I can only bear it!
…
Today I came to Nanchi for a banquet with my "good friend" Brother Qianda. We had a fight and beat up someone, and got 130,000 taels of silver. Jia Cong thought it was worth it.
One hundred thousand taels were sent to the palace to honor the emperor, which was regarded as protection fee. The remaining 30,000 taels were divided equally between He Chong and Mu Congying.
What if you don’t spend your free money?
Nanchifang City was bustling, and Jia Cong saw that it was still early, so he said goodbye to He Chong and Mu Congying, and wandered leisurely in Nanchifang City with Jia Shiyi.
With the abolition of the maritime ban, the types and quantities of imported products in the capital increased exponentially. As the largest commercial market in the capital, Nanchifang City is full of red, yellow and golden barbarians.
"This, this, and this, wrap them all up for me and send them to my house!"
"How do you sell this shiny stone? What? Is this coral? I said it is a stone, and it is a stone. In a word, how much does it cost? Wrap it up and send it to Rongguo Mansion. I want to use it to smash walnuts!"
"Wai, the candied haws seller, give me a bunch and send the rest to Rongguo Mansion!"
"Hey, there are monkey charmers. Come, take the money and go to my house to show it to my little niece. If she is happy, I will give you a big reward!"
"Eh? I'm here, young master, and there are still people who dare to bully men and dominate women."
Jia Conghao packed up half of the street and sent it to Rongguo Mansion. He was about to continue his arrogant career of spreading money, but he didn't expect that there were several slaves not far away in front of him dragging a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
At the same time, there were three or five people punching and kicking a middle-aged man, and vague words about having money and losing a bet were heard.
Jia Cong looked up and saw Changle Bofang. It seems that another gambler lost money and had no compensation, and his daughter was caught to pay off the debt.
Although gamblers are hateful, Jia Cong cannot stand the idea of using his wife and daughter to pay off debts.
In the chapter "Thieves and Thieves" in the 20th volume of "Da Xia Lv", there is a clause of "short of people and selling of others".
It stipulates: "Anyone who cheats or sells others to promote excellence will be hanged; those who work as slaves will be exiled for three thousand miles; those who work as wives, concubines, children, or grandchildren will be sentenced to three years. The crimes of seduction and selling will be reduced by one level."
If these scumbags in the gambling house arrest this girl, they will definitely send her to a brothel.
Jia Cong easily picked up the clay pot on the stall nearby and threw it from a distance towards the thug who was pulling the girl.
There was a bang, and blood started to flow from the man's forehead. He covered his head and squatted on the ground.
"Damn it, you dare to bully men and dominate women under the emperor's feet. Where is the king's law?"
Jia Cong strode forward and kicked away Diao Nu who was standing in front of him: "Get out of here, you dare to block my way, I'm tired of living!"
"Where does this little brat dare to interfere with our Changlefang affairs?"
The thug who was hit on the head was used to being arrogant, and he was still dizzy after being hit suddenly.
When he got up, he dodged the whistle stick of his subordinate and hit Jia Cong.
Bang!
Jia Shiyi moved faster than him, and kicked him away and hit him hard on the door frame of the gambling house.
Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the people inside. In an instant, more than ten thugs holding whistle sticks and a middle-aged man who seemed to be the shopkeeper rushed out.
As soon as the man went out, he saw Jia Cong looking at the plaque of the gambling house. He took a deep breath: Hey, how could you offend this young man? Are all the people under his command fucking blind? The shining golden order is hanging on the waist, can't you see it?
He quietly winked at the people under his command, then nodded and bowed to greet him: "It turns out to be the uncle. Yi Yongwen, the villain, paid homage to the uncle. It's all because of the villain's discipline that these people are blind. My boy bumped into you, please forgive me."
Jia Cong ignored the man and said leisurely: "Whether you forgive me or not is Shuntian Mansion's business. I have nothing to do with it."
"Uncle, if you bump into your troublesome slave, he will definitely beat him to death when he comes back, so there is no need to trouble the master of Shuntian Mansion. The master's face cannot be lost, so you should treat it as giving face to my master..."
Yi Yongwen lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, Yongle Square is the property of Prince Ji's Palace."
"You said this gambling house is the property of the great uncle of King Ji?"
Jia Cong didn't believe it, although the old prince was also a fun-loving person, a standard old dude. But he is the only remaining brother of the Supreme Emperor, so he will not be short of money to the extent of opening a gambling house to make money.
Sure enough, Yi Yongwen hesitated, and when Jia Cong's hand touched the handle of the knife at his waist, he gritted his teeth and replied: "The villain's master is Prince Shen Wu of Ji."
"Liu Shen is so courageous. I don't know what will happen if my uncle, King Ji, finds out that he opened a gambling house to earn such bloody money."
Forget it, let's leave this matter to Uncle Wang Ji.
Jia Cong snorted coldly: "I have nothing to do with other things, but if you do something about someone else's business, then wait until you test the power of the knife in my hand."
While speaking, Jia Cong pressed the spring of the scabbard with his hand, and a small part of the sword was exposed, with a cold light flashing, which was breathtaking.
Yi Yongwen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed and responded: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Changlefang has always abided by the law and will never do anything that violates the "Daxia Law". Today is really an accident, and I don't know where the fool came from. He has been staying in Changle Square since yesterday. Not only did he lose all his money, but he also borrowed 500 taels of silver from the shop. In the end, he even wanted to use some family heirloom to pay off the debt. He didn't want to attract his family. My daughter, clutching the piece of jade to death..."
"Third Master, this girl seems to be my wife's natal family."
Jia Shiyi handed a piece of jade to Jia Cong. The jade was of high quality and had the character Xing on it.
Jia Cong also thought it looked familiar. Isn't it the same style as his aunt's mother's jade?
"The girl's surname is Xing? She is from Danyang County, Zhenjiang Prefecture."
The girl raised her head in surprise, her eyes red because she had cried just now.
"Your Majesty is right. The daughter of the common people is indeed the daughter of the Xing family in Danyang. I wonder how your Majesty knew that?"
Jia Cong remembered how Mrs.
Calculating the time, the Xing family should be here soon.
But why did you not go to Rongguo Mansion first when you came to the capital, but instead came to the gambling house to gamble?
He handed over the jade pendant: "Does the girl know the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion?"
"Ah~ that's the civilian aunt..."
"That's right. My surname is Jia. I don't want to see my cousin here."
It's really surprising that this is the situation when we meet for the first time. Jia Cong briefly introduced himself, and finally turned his attention to Yi Yongwen, whose legs were trembling.
When Yi Yongwen heard the cousin's voice, chills ran down his spine.
No one in the capital knows that the Jia family protects their own shortcomings. How come those ignorant people under his command have their thoughts set on the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion?
Seeing Jia Cong looking at him with cold eyes, he knelt down with a plop.
Not to mention raising his own master, it may not be easy for His Royal Highness to save his face at this time.
"Uncle, I really didn't know that this girl is your cousin..."
"Shut up!"
Jia Shiyi had already asked the driver to drive the carriage over, letting Xing Xiuyan get on the carriage first.
Jia Cong kicked Yi Yongwen and said coldly: "When you open a gambling house, as long as you pay taxes according to the rules and don't do anything that violates the law, you can do whatever you want. But you have to keep your eyes open, my family, If you dare to put one in to gamble, I will break off your limbs and hang them on the city wall!"
"But...but..."
Yi Yongwen wanted to quickly agree to send this plague god away, but he couldn't agree. Because at this moment, there is a man named Jia playing on the second floor of the gambling house.
Jia Cong snorted coldly, and Yi Yongwen immediately collapsed to the ground in fear, and immediately sold the young man named Jia above him.
"Uncle Eleven, go and capture this person!"
Soon, Jia Shiyi grabbed one person and threw him out of the gambling house.
Jia Cong recognized the man at a glance and shouted angrily: "Jia Rui, you dare to enter the gambling house? Someone, take Jia Rui to the ancestral hall and deal with him according to the clan rules!"
"Brother Cong, please, don't... uh uh uh..."
The soldiers hiding in the dark rushed over immediately after hearing the order, blocked Jia Rui's mouth and dragged him out.
Jia Cong pointed at the golden plaque of "Changle Bo Fang" and ordered in a cold voice: "Smash that plaque for me!"
Bang, bang~
There was a loud noise, and not only was the plaque smashed, but most of the gate of Changlefang was also destroyed.
Jia Cong asked people to put Xing Zhong, who was hiding aside, into the carriage. Before leaving, he warned Yi Yongwen again: "Next time I let my uncle see someone from my Jia family entering Changlefang, you are going to let people go." Let me collect the body for you!"
…
Xing Zhong and his wife brought their daughter Xing Xiuyan to Beijing to visit relatives, but they met Jia Cong under such circumstances, which made Jia Cong confused and embarrassed for Mrs. Xing.
After all, she is his aunt, she has been very good to him in the past few years, and she still needs to take care of her face.
Jia Cong did not take the Xing family directly back to his hometown. Instead, he found a small courtyard in Dashi Yongfang and rented it. Then he sent someone to the inn to pick up Xing Xiuyan's mother Wen.
Probably due to the fatigue of traveling and riding, Wen fell ill as soon as he arrived in Tongzhou. And because Xing Zhong lost all his money and had no money to seek medical treatment and buy medicine, he was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed.
Jia Cong sent people directly to the Imperial Hospital to ask for an imperial doctor. He woke up from his daze before nightfall and cried for a while while holding Xing Xiuyan.
After settling in here, Jia Cong found Xing Xiuyan and forced her to give her a thousand taels of silver notes despite Xing Xiuyan's refusal.
"I will send someone over tomorrow to make some clothes for my cousin, uncle, and aunt. When my aunt gets better, I will invite you over, cousin."
The old lady must not let the old lady know what this cheap uncle did, otherwise there will be trouble at home in Ontario.
Xing Zhong was not only a gambler, but also almost killed his daughter. If the old lady knew about this, she might force her aunt to completely separate herself from her natal family.
Even though Mrs. Xing often cursed her cousin for being idle and unpromising, she only had this one family member left to worry about.
Most of the money I collected over the years was sent to the south to support my parents' family...
If the old lady is displeased because of her cousin's misbehavior, she will probably have to cry and cause a disturbance that she shouldn't have.
Hey, what nonsense is this!
Xing Xiuyan clutched the banknotes with red eyes, watching Jia Cong's background gradually disappear into the doorframe.
In the gatehouse of the small courtyard are Jia Cong's personal soldiers, and those responsible for taking care of the Xing family are the two maids in his courtyard, and Grandma Wang, who was borrowed from Daiyu.
As soon as Jia Cong walked out of the small courtyard, the person responsible for inquiring about the information came up to him, bowed and said: "Third Master, we have found out. The people who seduced Mr. Xing to the gambling house were several businessmen from Jinling, who were quite wealthy. They took the same boat as Mr. Xing, and they should have deliberately approached Mr. Xing on their way north."
After listening to the soldiers' report, Jia Cong's face became more and more grim.
No, Jia Cong is 100% sure that these people are deliberately getting close to Xing Zhong. Otherwise, given the current state of the Xing family's downfall, how could these people take the initiative to make friends?
He seduced Xing Zhong into a gambling house and lost all his money. It was still the property of Prince Ji's palace. If the gambling house really used Xing Xiu's cigarettes to pay off his gambling debts, and the dignified Yongfeng Uncle's cousin became a brothel girl, it would really cause a big mess. What a joke!
Jia Cong suppressed the killing intent that burst out in his heart and warned: "Catch those people and interrogate them carefully. Don't let any of them escape. I want to see what else they want to do besides these dirty tricks." What!"
