Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu's courtyard.
The concierge reported the news to Jia Cong's assassin last night to Jia's mother.
Jia's mother was shocked when she heard this. Jia Cong is now the backbone of the Jia family. He is the white jade pillar of the Jia family and the purple gold beam that supports the sea. Nothing will happen to him.
He asked anxiously: "How is Brother Cong doing now? Is he injured?"
The concierge said: "In reply to the old lady, I heard from the concierge of Dongfu that Duke Ning Guo was not injured, but just transferred a group of guards."
When Jia Mu heard this, she became even more worried and sent someone over again. Could there be an assassin?
"When did this happen? Has Brother Cong come back now?"
The porter said: "Back to the old lady, this happened in the middle of the night. My servant has been guarding the door and has not seen Ning Guogong come back."
Mother Jia frowned when she heard this. Brother Cong didn't come back all night. Could it be that something happened again?
He rewarded the concierge with a fortune and sent him down.
After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he turned to Hu Hu and said, "Hu Hu, go to Dong Mansion and ask Yuanyang to see if she knows about Brother Cong."
"Yes, old lady, I'll go over and ask Sister Yuanyang."
Amber agreed, turned and left the room.
At this time, Jia She and Mrs. Xing walked in.
"Greetings to the old lady."
Mother Jia nodded and said: "Boss, you came just in time. Brother Cong met an assassin last night and didn't come back all night. I'm worried about it. You go out and ask around to find out what happened?"
This is great, why did you meet an assassin again? "
Jia She said: "Old lady, don't worry too much. I've also heard that Brother Cong is fine. There may be other things that have hindered him. I've asked Lian'er to inquire about the news. I'll come back as soon as there is news. us."
Soon, Yuanyang followed Hu Hue to Jia Mu's room.
"Greetings to the old lady, greetings to the eldest man, and greetings to the eldest lady."
Jia Mu waved her hand and said: "Yuanyang, I heard that Brother Cong met an assassin. What is going on? Are you clear about this matter?"
Amber had already told Yuanyang about his intention, and Yuanyang also knew what was going on.
He said calmly: "Old lady, on the way back last night, the Duke was intercepted and killed by assassins. A total of fifty assassins were killed on the spot.
The Duke of Guo sent the injured soldiers back to his home to recover from their injuries. He also mobilized two groups of soldiers and went to the Xicheng Military and Horse Division to join him. They haven't come back yet. That's all I know. "
Several people were shocked when they heard this. There were fifty assassins. Who wanted to stab Brother Cong?
Mother Jia said with a worried look: "Why are there so many assassins? Brother Cong is really not injured?"
Yuanyang said: "Don't worry, old lady, the Duke of Guo is indeed uninjured. Qingwen and the others were worried and followed him. With them by their side, the Duke of Guo will be fine."
Mother Jia asked curiously: "Are those little girls really that powerful? Are they stronger than those grown men?"
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Old lady, they are really powerful. Even the soldiers are no match for them. The Duke has spent a lot of money on them. He spends tens of thousands of taels of money on them every year. "
Several people sighed after hearing this. This child is really willing to spend money. In the past, Rong Mansion did not have so much income in a year.
Jia Mu said: "Brother Cong is very generous. If they are so powerful, it would be worth it."
Jia She said: "Cong'er is a very reliable kid. He usually makes plans before taking action. In all these years, I have never seen him fail. Even I, as an old man, admire him a little. "
Jia Mu nodded and fully agreed with her eldest son's words.
Thinking about the child Jia Cong, the things he did really gave people a sense of foresight and scheming.
It is really reassuring to have such a grandson.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu also felt relieved.
While talking, Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Shi Xiangyun walked in together.
Several people also heard the news and came to inquire about the situation.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Lin Daiyu came to Yuanyang and asked, "Sister Yuanyang, is Brother Cong really okay?"
Yuanyang said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Lin. The Duke of Guo is fine at all, and the few soldiers were only slightly injured. The Duke of Guo came out of thousands of troops to fight, and there are only a few petty thieves. How can you hurt him?"
Lin Daiyu said: "Well, it's fine. I was shocked when I heard the news."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "I'll just say it's okay. Brother Cong is a general who has won every battle. Thousands of troops and horses can't do anything to his powerful general. It's just a few assassins, how can they hurt him?"
Xichun said: "My brother is the most powerful, he will be fine."
Shi Xiangyun said: "Fourth girl is right. Third brother has been very powerful since he was a child. I have seen it with my own eyes. I will definitely be fine."
Several people chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were shocked when they heard the news and hurried to Jia Mu to inquire about the news.
Everyone in the room was chatting and laughing, and it didn't look like anything was wrong.
She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Old lady, why did I hear that Brother Cong met an assassin? Is this true?"
Mother Jia smiled and said, "Thank you, madam, for caring about Brother Cong. This child did encounter an assassin, but nothing happened."
Aunt Xue said: "Thank God, the child is fine. I was frightened when I heard the news. When did this happen?"
Seeing Aunt Xue's enthusiasm, Jia Mu couldn't help but feel guilty.
Although the mother and daughter were very enthusiastic about Brother Cong before, it was definitely not as obvious as today. They looked really worried and didn't look like they were cheating.
Although we are all relatives, there is no need to be so enthusiastic, right? I really can't understand it.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Aunt, I heard that last night, on the way home, I encountered assassins. Those assassins have been killed by the Cong brothers."
"What? Last night?"
Aunt Xue stood up suddenly when she heard this.
Last night, didn't Brother Cong invite Pan'er and Liu Xianglian?
Brother Cong met an assassin, what about Pan'er? Are you with him? Is something wrong with Pan'er?
Thinking of this, Aunt Xue was really panicked.
He only has such a son under his knees. How can he live if he really wants to have a son?
"Bao girl, did your brother come back yesterday?"
When Xue Baochai heard the news, he felt a little worried. When his mother asked about it, he replied: "My brother has not come back since he went out last night. Don't worry, mother. My brother should be fine too."
Everyone was a little surprised by the mother and daughter's reaction, and all looked over.
Jia Mu asked doubtfully: "Auntie, what do you know?"
Aunt Xue said: "Old lady, to be honest, Brother Cong invited Pan'er to dinner last night. The two of them should be together. I wonder if you have any news about my Pan'er?"
Everyone suddenly realized that they were worried about their son. No wonder they had such a big reaction.
However, no one had heard the news about Xue Pan, so they all looked at Yuanyang.
Yuanyang said: "Auntie, I don't have any news about Uncle Pan here, and the soldiers didn't mention it when they came back. If he is with the Duke, it should be fine, otherwise the soldiers will definitely tell him."
Aunt Xue felt a little relieved after hearing this, but she was still uneasy.
He turned around and said to the mother-in-law beside him: "Go back and ask the servants at home to find Pan'er, and ask about Brother Cong's news."
"Got it, ma'am."
The Xue family's mother-in-law agreed, turned and left.
After a while, the woman came back, "Madam, the uncle is back. Are you waiting outside for a reply?"
After hearing this, Aunt Xue finally felt relieved knowing that her son was fine.
"Old lady, do you want to ask Pan'er about Brother Cong's news?"
Jia Mu said, "Well, let that kid Pan'er come in. Yu'er, you sisters can go and stay behind the screen for a while."
After Xue Pan came in, he bowed to the old lady and Jia She first, and then asked: "Mother, why did you call me here?"
Aunt Xue said: "Weren't you with Brother Cong yesterday? Didn't you know that Brother Cong met an assassin?"
Xue Pan was surprised when he heard this.
"What, did you meet an assassin? After dinner last night, Brother Cong left alone. Liu Xianglian and I didn't leave either. We stayed there for the whole night. We left together this morning. I really don't know who Brother Cong is. matter."
Jia She asked: "Brother Pan, where did you eat?"
Xue Pan said: "We are in Zuihonglou."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Pan felt two unkind eyes staring at him.
Aunt Xue never thought that this naughty kid would take her future brother-in-law to visit a brothel. How big-hearted is this?
Don't you think about your sister?
Aunt Xue was so angry that she started scolding her.
"You damn evildoer, are you stupid? How could you take Brother Cong to visit a brothel? You have ruined a good kid. I'm really pissed off."
Xue Baochai looked at Xue Pan with extremely resentful eyes. She was really worried about having such a brother.
When Xue Pan looked at the expressions of Aunt Xue and Xue Baochen, he still didn't understand what was going on.
I couldn't help but secretly curse myself for being careless and forgetting about this incident.
He quickly smiled and said: "Mother, you are worrying too much. I can't take care of Brother Cong. Didn't I just say that Brother Cong left right after dinner and didn't stay at all? Don't worry. I’m going to find out about Brother Cong right now.”
After saying that, without waiting for Aunt Xue to agree, she turned around and ran out.
Damn it, I accidentally let it slip, I'd better go out and avoid it.
In addition to his mother and sister, Xue Pan felt that there were still a few unkind eyes staring at him, which was really dangerous.
After Xue Pan went out, he inquired at the concierge and went straight to the Xicheng Army and Horse Department.
Aunt Xue said with a helpless smile: "It makes the old lady laugh to see such an unsatisfactory person. Hey! It's so sad."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "They young people all love to play, and most of them are like this. My aunt and wife don't have to worry too much. It's just fine if I grow up. I heard that Brother Pan has been busy doing business in the past few years and has grown up a lot." .”
Aunt Xue said: "In the past few years, I have been doing business with Brother Cong. This child has indeed improved a lot than before. This is all thanks to Brother Cong."
Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that Jia Cong went to a brothel.
Later, I heard that I just had a meal and left, and I became happy.
Brother Cong has kept himself clean for so many years and has never done anything messy. I still trust him very much.
Not long after, Jia Lian and Xue Pan came back together.
Jia Lian said: "Old lady, sir, you don't have to worry. Brother Cong is fine. When I rushed to the Xicheng Army and Horse Department, Brother Cong had already been summoned to court by His Majesty.
I asked Qiu Liang about it, and it turned out that those assassins were related to the Jinsha Gang. After Congdi found out, he led the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division to annihilate the Jinsha Gang overnight. From the gang leader down, there were more than 300 people, and no one was left alive. There is no more Jinsha Gang in the capital. "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This is too cruel. More than 300 people were killed at any time. It was scary to hear.
Jia Mu and Jia She couldn't help but nodded secretly. This is called decisive killing. This is what they want. Only in this way can it act as a deterrent, and outsiders will not dare to provoke the Jia family.
Mother Jia couldn't help but feel relieved. In this regard, Brother Cong did better than his grandfather Rong Guogong.
"Lian'er, does your Majesty know about this?"
Jia Lian said: "Old lady, the people from the Xicheng Army and Horses Division worked hard all night and raided the entire Jinsha Gang. Such a big movement naturally alerted the Xiuyi Guards, but His Majesty did not blame them.
When we arrived, Brother Cong had already come back and was currently busy picking up the property from the Sands Gang with Mr. Dai. He might not be able to come back for a while. "
Xue Pan said excitedly: "You haven't seen it. After Brother Cong came back, the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division began to pull out corpses one by one. Those eunuchs pulled out silver one by one. It looked so awesome." It’s so enjoyable, if I had known earlier, I would have been with Brother Cong.”
Aunt Xue was so angry that she cursed: "Shut up! If you don't go home and lie down, why are you staying here?"
Xue Pan was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Aren't I reporting to you? Since Brother Lian is here, I will go back."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Jia She said: "As long as your brother is fine, we will be relieved. This kid has not changed at all. However, after this incident, he probably won't be able to stop, and he will have to struggle for a while."
Knowing that Jia Cong was fine, everyone felt relieved and started chatting.
Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "The third brother is really awesome, he is still as fierce as before."
Thinking of what Jia Cong had done, Tanchun's eyes sparkled with envy.
"Third brother is a true hero!"
Xichun chuckled and said, "Sister Lin, you should rest assured now, my brother is the most powerful."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "I know your brother is the most powerful, okay, little aunt."
Xichun said: "Then why don't you praise my brother?"
Daiyu tapped Xichun's forehead and said with a smile: "So many people are praising your brother. If I praise him again, he won't go to heaven."
When several people heard this, they all chuckled.
