It was already noon when Jia Cong and Dai Quan finished handing over the assets of the Sands Gang.
Dai Quan said with a smile on his face: "Ning Guogong, we won't keep you at home. You have been busy all night and you are probably exhausted. Go back and have a rest. Your Majesty's reward will be sent to the mansion later." superior."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, father-in-law. I'll take my leave then."
After leaving the palace, he returned to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department. He assigned all the follow-up finishing work to Qiu Liang and left the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Department with his guards.
From last night to now, I haven't slept all night, and I haven't had any water. Now I am hungry and sleepy.
What Jia Cong wants most now is to go home to eat and sleep.
The war horse trotted all the way to Ningrong Street, and was stopped by Jia Lian at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
"Brother Cong, the old lady asked you to come back and meet her."
Jia Cong nodded, got off his horse, and said to the guards behind him: "We're home now. You go back to eat and rest first. Qingwen, you go back first, and ask someone to prepare more food. I'll go back to eat later."
Qingwen frowned and said: "My lord, things are different now. The assassin may appear once, but he may appear twice. It's better to be cautious and leave a team of soldiers waiting here. Chunlan, Qiu Ju, You two stay with the Duke."
"knew."
Jia Cong did not insist and took Chunlan Qiuju into Rongguo Mansion.
When they arrived at the old lady's house, everyone had not dispersed yet, including Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue and others.
Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "I've met the old lady, I've met the master and my wife, I've met my aunt."
Jia Mu said: "Okay, don't be polite, come here and let me see if you are hurt?"
Seeing the concerned look on Jia Mu's face, Jia Cong hurriedly came to her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, my grandson is fine. Many times, I don't need to take action personally. My grandson only needs to take action." Just sit back and take command."
Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's okay. I heard that you met an assassin, but it scared us. If I don't see your people, I will never feel at ease. How can a gang member dare to provoke you?"
Jia Cong said: "Old lady, those assassins are from the north and are not from the Jinsha Gang. However, if the Jinsha Gang dares to help them, they will be punished. I want everyone to know that if they dare to take action against me, this will be their fate. .”
Jia Mu nodded, she was still very satisfied with what Jia Cong did.
Others are going to kill you, and if you are still merciful, then no one will dare to step on you.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty, you are not blamed?"
Jia Cong said: "No, the Jinsha Gang participated in the assassination of me and was even suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. No matter what, I should be killed. His Majesty also agreed with my approach and rewarded me with some palace brocades and colorful satin."
Jia She said: "The Jinsha Gang is quite powerful, and the backers behind it should be very strong. You should be more careful in the future to prevent being plotted by others."
Jia Cong said: "Master, don't worry, I already know who it is, and I will send someone to keep an eye on him."
Aunt Xue sighed in her heart, this is the benefit of having power.
His son Xue Pan accidentally beat someone to death, and he had to find someone to intercede to solve the problem.
Brother Cong killed more than 300 people in one go. Not only did he get nothing wrong, he also received a reward from His Majesty.
It seems that he is deeply appreciated by His Majesty, and the Holy Scroll is very generous.
The idea in my heart became even more determined.
After saying a few more words, everyone left one after another. Jia Cong and Lin Daiyu came to her yard together.
Lin Daiyu looked Jia Cong up and down for a while and asked, "Brother Cong, are you really not injured?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Well, don't worry, my brother is not injured. It's not like you don't know my skills. Why don't you check it yourself?"
Lin Daiyu's face turned red and she spat: "Bah, you are such an immoral person, can't you speak properly? My sister was frightened when I heard that you met an assassin.
Later, I heard Yuanyang say that you were fine, and I felt relieved. Brother Cong, can you not take risks in the future? I'm a little scared. "
Jia Cong smiled, took her hand, and sat down on the bench.
He comforted: "Don't worry, brother will be fine. Most of the time now I don't need to take action. I also want to live quietly, but sometimes I can't help myself.
Just like this time, if I don't fight back hard, they may take advantage and deal with me again and again, and even attack the people around me. This is the last thing I want to see. I don't want you to be hurt.
Only by killing them out of fear will they know that I am not someone to be bullied and they will be honest. "
Daiyu was a smart woman, and after a little thought, she understood the truth.
"Well, Brother Cong, you have to be more careful in the future."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, with my skills, few people can hurt me. By the way, I ransacked my house this time and got a dagger. It's quite good. You can play with it. It can be used for self-defense if you put it on your body." .”
He took out the dagger from his arms and handed it to Daiyu.
Lin Daiyu looked at it but didn't answer it, and said, "Brother Cong, if this is seized from other stinky men, I don't want it."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I found this in a secret room. I've already cleaned and wiped it. It's very clean."
Lin Daiyu then took it, played with it for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take it, thank you brother Cong."
Jia Cong said: "As long as you like it, this dagger is very sharp. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "Brother Cong, Erya is so strong. She said that you gave her Dali Pills. She also said that Qingwen and others also took them. I want to eat them too, and I also want to become more powerful. , can help you.”
As for Lin Daiyu, Jia Cong never thought about turning her into a martial arts master, as long as she trained her body well.
Let her be happy and live a happy life at home, and don't want her to suffer too much.
If she had this idea, she wouldn't stop it. It would be good to be able to defend herself at critical moments.
"Sister Lin, if you really want to increase your strength, my brother will satisfy you and let you become a real heroine. Taking Dali Pill can increase your strength by thirty kilograms, but after taking it, you need to strengthen your exercise to maximize your strength. Effect.
In addition, you can take a medicated bath every night, just stand up and take a medicated bath. I will have someone bring the medicine to you later. Qingwen and others have been taking a medicated bath, and Erya has never enjoyed it. Let her go clubbing with you for the first time. "
Daiyu said happily: "Thank you, brother Cong. Will this cost a lot of money?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "What is this little money? Our family has plenty of money. Besides, you are the mistress of Ningguo Mansion, so you should spend more."
Daiyu's face turned slightly red, but she was happy in her heart and did not refute.
"Brother Cong, I want you to come over and give me guidance in person."
Jia Cong chuckled and said: "No problem, let alone giving me personal guidance, we can just have a bath together."
"Bah, you actually want to do good things."
······
The sacred city of Jing, the palace of Prince Zhongshun.
Prince Zhongshun looked in disbelief after learning the news about the Jinsha Gang.
Then a roar was heard: "Shu Zi, how dare he."
There was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound, and countless precious porcelains were thrown to the floor.
With nowhere to express his anger, Prince Zhongshun smashed the study to pieces, frightening all the maids and eunuchs into trembling.
The Jinsha Gang is a cash cow for Prince Zhongshun. More than half of the Prince's income comes from the Jinsha Gang.
Now it's fine, everything is gone. Prince Zhongshun angrily threw the cup in his hand to the ground.
The Jia family's child moved too fast, and it was already too late when he got the news, and he didn't even have a chance to intercept.
What's even more annoying is that this little bastard actually killed everyone in the Jinsha Gang and left no one behind. Even if he wanted to rescue him, who would he save?
This kid from the Jia family was so cruel, so fucking incompetent that he didn't even give himself a chance to take action.
He is a dignified prince, but he can't even protect his subordinates. If this spreads out, what dignity will he have?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hate Jia Cong to the core.
"Come here! Is he all dead?"
The chief historian of Prince Zhongshun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
Prince Zhongshun said: "The child of the Jia family has gone too far to bully others. How can I, a dignified prince, bear such a bad breath? I will bring someone to the door to let the child of the Jia family know how powerful I am."
When Chang Shi heard this, he felt a burst of criticism in his heart.
My prince is really out of his mind. If he really wants to do this, things will become big.
Besides, Jia Cong had just returned from the battlefield and acted ruthlessly. Just look at the outcome of the Jinsha Gang. Not a single one of the more than 300 people was left, and they were all killed.
If you really bring someone to knock on your door, you probably won't get any good results, since you won't go anyway.
It seems that the only thing I can do is persuade my prince to give up this idea.
Chang Shi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest your anger for a while. I have inquired about this matter clearly. People from the Jinsha Gang participated in the assassination of Ning Guogong, and they were killed by Ning Guogong's men.
The assassination of the imperial official had a bad influence, and the ministers in the DPRK deeply hated it. Ning Guogong was now the admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and it was justifiable to destroy the Jinsha Gang. His Majesty not only did not blame him, but also rewarded him, and the civil and military officials of the entire court had no objections.
If the prince steps forward at this time to cause trouble for Ning Guogong, if Ning Guogong misunderstands and thinks that the prince is behind the scenes and wants his life, then the gain will outweigh the losses.
Besides, the Jinsha Gang is gone now, and all the Jinsha Gang's properties have been taken over by His Majesty. It will be of no use to go to Ning Guogong again, and it is impossible for His Majesty to return the Jinsha Gang's properties to the prince. "
After hearing these words, Prince Zhongshun also held back his anger and slowly began to think about it.
There is indeed some truth to what Chang Shi said. Zhang Qiang, a bastard, it's okay for you to mess around with him. Now it's better. He is dead and I have lost a lot of property.
Being involved in the assassination of a court official is indeed very troublesome.
Moreover, these assassins came from the north. If this caused the emperor to misunderstand and think that he was colluding with the barbarians, there would probably be no good fruits in the future.
Could it be that this mute person is in vain? How can you swallow this breath?
"Although what you said makes sense, you can't let me suffer the loss of being dumb. How did I get this bad breath in my chest?"
Chang Shi said: "My lord, if you want to deal with Ning Guogong, you must either join him in killing innocent people indiscriminately, complain to the Supreme Emperor, or secretly find a way to plot against him. You must not attack him blatantly."
Prince Zhongshun snorted coldly and said: "I have paid such a big loss, I can't feel happy, and I can't let the Jia family boy feel happy either. Please think of a way for me. I will retaliate against him severely. I will make him It broke our hearts."
Chang Shi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Duke Ning Guo is adopted to the Dongfu and has nothing to do with the Rongfu. However, he is the only master in the Ningguo Mansion. He is not married yet and has only a concubine to help him manage the house. Isn’t there any weakness in this?”
Prince Zhongshun said: "Don't he have a business? He ruined my business, and I also made it impossible for his business to be done. I leave this matter to you. Find someone to ruin his business and let him know what pain is." .”
Chang Shi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's difficult to attack in this capital. Ning Guogong controls the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and the entire Shenjing City is under his nose. Once discovered, he will definitely not show mercy. This guy It's too cruel. The prince is a rich man, so he can't do it.
Ning Guogong has a caravan, trading with Liaodong, and his winery, which is on Zhuangzi outside the city. We can try these two goals, but I am afraid it will require a lot of manpower. Whether it is a caravan, It's still Zhuangzi, so he should have guards. "
Prince Zhongshun nodded, agreeing with Chang Shi's idea, and wanted to take revenge on Jia Cong severely this time.
"Manpower is not a problem. We don't have enough in the palace. You can borrow some from other princes' palaces. This matter must be done for me. I said it like this. I am a dignified prince and I have to be given by this Jia family kid. Pressing down, it’s so damn frustrating.”
······
Jia Cong returned to Ningguo Mansion and finished his meal in a hurry.
Under the service of Yuanyang, Xiren and others, I took a nice hot bath.
Then, he went to bed and lay down.
The mandarin duck is leaning to one side, holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand, fanning it from time to time to help drive away mosquitoes.
"My lord, are those assassins really from the north?"
"Well, those assassins are very powerful. They are not comparable to those gangs. They should be sent by the barbarians. When you go out in the future, don't go out alone. Let Chen Sanmei send a few guards with you."
Yuanyang said: "Could there still be assassins?"
Jia Cong said: "It's hard to say, how can you say this kind of thing accurately? I have offended Hong Tai badly, so I'd better be careful."
Qingwen climbed to the other side of the bed and said with a smile: "We killed Hong Tai's father, killed his two brothers, and robbed his wife. They probably hate us to death, so sending some assassins here doesn't count. If it’s too much, you have to let people vent their anger, right?”
Yuanyang looked at the two people and was speechless for a while. These two people were too courageous and did not take the assassin seriously at all.
Thinking about the skills of the two people, I felt relieved.
"Well, I understand. I usually just go to Xifu to see the old lady, and I don't go anywhere else."
Jia Cong yawned and said, "Would you like to come in and sleep with me?"
Yuanyang rolled his eyes at Jia Cong and said, "How does it look like lying on the bed with you in broad daylight? I won't mess around with you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "We are in our own house and no one comes, so what are we afraid of?"
Qingwen directly opened the quilt and got in, pillowed on Jia Cong's arm, and said with a smile: "If she doesn't come to pull her down, we can sleep by ourselves."
Jia Cong smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and fell asleep soon.
