After Jia Yucun knew that Jia Cong had come to Jinling, he came to visit him with gifts.
Jia Cong didn't like Jia Yucun very much, but he couldn't say he disliked him.
For the sake of helping him get Xiangling, he didn't neglect him too much.
In the original work, Jia Yucun is a villain who is unjust for his own benefit. He was favored by Zhen Shiyin, but when Xiangling was in trouble, he was forced by the power of the Xue family and did not help.
The Jia family helped him recover and gave him an official position.
When the Jia family fell, in order to clear up the relationship, instead of helping, he gave the Jia family a hard kick.
It can be said that he is an out-and-out ungrateful villain.
However, this is the way this world is.
It is also normal in the world for people to take tea to cool down.
You have already fallen, and you still think that others will accompany you without hesitation and live and die with you, then you are just trying to get rid of it.
Standing in Jia Yucun's position, setting aside the relationship and moving to a higher level is the right choice.
At most, it would be better to be called ungrateful than to be buried with the Jia family.
However, the last thing he should do is add insult to injury.
Jia Yucun is still a bit capable, but he has a cold nature. As long as the Jia family doesn't collapse, he can still be regarded as a member of the Jia family, not to mention that he can't turn the palm of his hand while he is around.
Now that the Jia family is insufficient in power, multiple available manpower can also increase the voice.
Moreover, Wang Ziteng also likes Jia Yucun very much, and is trying his best to win over him, help him operate, and wants to transfer him back to the capital.
After chatting with him for a while, he asked him to help take in the prisoners of the Salt Gang, which could be regarded as giving him some credit, and gave him reassurance before sending him away.
After leaving the Jia family's old house, Jia Yucun was also filled with emotion.
When we first met, Jia Cong was still a nine-year-old child. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, he would become the Duke of Yipinning. This life experience is really unpredictable!
Fortunately, he made the right choice at the beginning, fulfilled his request and sent the girl Yinglian to her house.
There was a hint of affection between the two.
This time Jia Cong, as an imperial envoy, came to wipe out the Salt Gang.
It's a pity that I was not allowed to participate in the war to annihilate the Salt Gang, otherwise I could make a fortune and perform meritorious deeds at the same time.
However, it is not bad to allow yourself to accept prisoners, and you can get some credit.
In the following days, he teamed up with Zhen Yingjia to settle the affairs of the Salt Gang, and 1.8 million taels of silver came into his own hands.
A group of people from the Salt Gang with bad records were killed, and the rest were handed over to Jia Yucun and put in charge of handling them.
In this way, when reporting to the emperor, it can be regarded as having a witness.
At this point, the matter of the Salt Gang is finally settled.
In order to repair the relationship with Jia Cong, Zhen Yingli invited him and Jia Lian to go on a night tour of the Qinhuai River to experience the Qinhuai customs.
In order to paralyze Zhen Yingli, Jia Cong was quite enthusiastic towards him.
Zhen Yingli felt that Jia Cong didn't know what he had done. She felt completely relieved and treated Jia Cong more attentively.
On this day, while Jia Cong was out, Shi Xiangyun and Xichun changed into men's clothes and slipped out quietly.
But when he went out, he was still seen by the guards.
It was difficult for them to stop these two little masters, so they could only send a few people to follow them quietly and protect them secretly.
Then, he quickly reported the incident.
When Qingwen got the news, she couldn't help but be stunned. These two little guys were so willful. It would be fine if something unexpected happened.
"Why didn't you stop them? Do you know where they are going?"
"Commander, they are the masters, and we can't stop them. They just left the house, and I sent a few brothers to follow them secretly. They should be fine. Who dares to touch the people in the Duke's mansion."
Qingwen nodded, the Jia family was still very influential in Jinling, and no one dared to disturb Tai Sui.
However, having two little guys out is still unsettling.
Qingwen decided to go and have a look, otherwise there would be no way to explain if something happened.
Find Lin Daiyu and talk to her, so as not to worry about not finding anyone.
"Miss Lin, Miss Yun and Fourth Miss secretly ran out to play. I'll follow you to have a look. Please don't go out alone again."
Lin Daiyu was also a little surprised when she heard this.
"These two girls are really becoming more and more courageous. It's not okay to continue like this. You must teach them a lesson when you come back. I will accompany you to find them."
Qingwen said: "Miss Lin should stay at home. If the master comes back, she will be anxious if she doesn't see anyone."
Lin Daiyu said: "It's okay. Let Yuanyang and the others stay at home. I'll go with you. Who dares to touch us?"
Qingwen didn't want to offend the future mistress, so she had no choice but to agree.
"Then Miss Lin should put on men's clothes and take Erya with her, but leave the others alone. If we delay any longer, they will go far away."
Several people hurriedly changed into men's clothes, leaving Chunlan and Xia Zhu to look after the house. They took Qiu Ju, Dongmei and Erya with them. The five of them walked out of the door. After asking about the direction in which they left, they chased after them.
······
Shi Xiangyun and Xichun were walking hand in hand on the street.
"Sister Yun, if my brother finds out about us sneaking out, will he scold us?"
Shi Xiangyun glared at Xichun and said, "Now that we are men, I will call you fourth brother, and you will call me brother Yun. Do you remember?"
Xichun also found it amusing and chuckled: "Okay, brother Yun, what will we do if my brother finds out and scolds us?"
Shi Xiangyun said: "It's okay. We'll just play around here for a while and then go back. Third brother won't know. There are people selling things over there. Let's go and take a look."
Xichun said: "Well, don't go too far. If you run into bad people, you'll be in trouble."
Shi Xiangyun raised his fist and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yun will protect you."
The two of them walked around the street talking and laughing, looking at this, asking about that, and buying what they liked.
The two of them were having so much fun that they forgot about everything, and unknowingly, they walked further and further away.
Two ten-year-old children who didn't know how to bargain when buying things were so lavish that they were quickly spotted.
Even though they were wearing men's clothes, the way they talked and acted made it obvious that they were girls.
Seeing that they were dressed in luxurious clothes and knowing that they were girls from a wealthy family who secretly came out to play, ordinary traders did not dare to use their brains.
However, he was targeted by a group of beggars.
Several old beggars and a few young beggars stared at the two people from a distance.
"Do you know whose family these two little girls belong to? Don't mess with the wrong people? Then we'll be doomed."
"I don't know. I haven't seen or heard of any company with such a number one figure."
"The accent doesn't sound like someone from Jinling. They may be from other places. As long as they are not locals, it won't be a big problem. These two items are top quality and you can definitely buy them at a good price."
"Since they are not girls from a wealthy family nearby, let's do it. Once they reach a place with few people, they will take action and find more people to help create chaos and attract everyone's attention. We will take advantage of the chaos and kidnap the people. "
These people are quite thorough in their work and have careful plans. They look like habitual offenders at first glance, and they probably do this kind of thing often.
But they didn't know that this decision would bring them fatal disaster.
These beggars belong to the Huazi Gang in the city, also called the Beggar Gang.
Speaking of the Beggar Clan, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind may be Hong Qigong, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Qiao Feng, the heroes in "The Eighteen Palms of the Dragon", "The Dog Beating Stick", and so on.
This is just the martial arts world in China, the knight-errant in the world that people yearn for.
This is not the case with the beggar gang in reality. The huazi den hides filth, traffics in people, harvests and cuts crops, and is cruel and vicious. It can be said that they are completely unconscionable.
Just when these beggars set their sights on Shi Xiangyun and Xichun.
Lin Daiyu, Qingwen and others also came over.
It still took some time for everyone to change clothes. By the time they found them all the way, quite a while had passed.
When several soldiers saw Qingwen coming, they stepped forward and said, "Commander, it seems that the two young ladies are being targeted. The other party did not take action, and we did not act rashly."
Qingwen frowned when she heard this. Who dares to be so bold?
Looking towards the street, I saw two little guys looking at something at a vendor a few hundred meters away. Behind them, dozens of meters away, there were seven or eight beggars, staring at them furtively. .
"Are they the group of beggars following the two ladies?"
"Yes, Commander, those beggars have been following us for two streets."
Qingwen said: "These people are so brave. They actually dare to use their brains on our people. They really don't know whether to live or die. Follow them to a place where no one is around and send them to the Western Paradise."
"Yes, Commander."
Lin Daiyu said: "Qingwen, are you sure you can deal with these people?"
Qingwen said: "Don't worry, Miss Lin, it's easy to deal with these people, we don't even need to take action."
Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said: "Yun Yatou and Si Yatou are too courageous. It can't go on like this. We don't know what trouble they will cause in the future. They must be taught a lesson.
Since you are so sure, let's not take action yet, let these beggars take action first, let those two girls see what is the sinister heart of the people, let's see if they dare to sneak out next time?
After these beggars take action, we will rush forward, capture them, and rescue those two girls. What do you think? "
Qiu Ju said: "We have no problem, but will this scare the two girls?"
Qingwen said: "Just listen to Miss Lin. It's not a good thing that these two are getting bolder and bolder. It's good to teach them a lesson and let them know the dangers outside."
Qiu Ju, Dongmei, you two follow, stay closer to protect them both. "
"knew."
The two agreed, and slowly walked forward, gradually approaching the two of them.
Qingwen, Lin Daiyu and others also wandered around casually and approached the group of beggars.
Just when Shi Xiangyun and Xichun had just turned a corner.
These beggars suddenly started to move and followed quickly.
Two little beggars were fighting with each other and bumped into the stall next to them. The stall owner was kicked, beaten and scolded, making a scene.
A few more beggars came over and argued with the owner of the stall, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
These four older beggars had already stopped Shi Xiangyun and Xichun.
The two of them were not fools. They were shocked when they saw the posture of these beggars.
I thought bad, I met a trafficker.
The two of them were really panicking now. They had heard about Xiangling's experience, and she was relatively lucky. She was just beaten and scolded.
It would be miserable if my legs and feet were broken by these beggars and I would be begging for the rest of my life.
"What do you want to do? We are from the Jia family. If you dare to touch us, the third brother will kill you."
Shi Xiangyun stared, and shouted with anger.
Several old beggars were shocked when they heard this. They couldn't afford to offend the Jia family.
One of the beggars said: "They are not from the Jia family. I have seen everyone from the Jia family. Stop nagging and arrest them quickly."
Xichun said: "We are from the capital. My brother is Duke Ning. You can't afford to offend him..."
Before he finished speaking, a sack was pulled over his head and the two of them were put into the sack.
The two were frightened and shouted, "Help."
Several beggars were also shocked when they heard that she was Ning Guogong's sister. They felt a little hot when they looked at the two people in the sack.
"You are too quick to act. We can't afford to offend Mr. Ning Guo. Third child, aren't you begging near Jia's house? You don't know about such an important thing? What do you do for food?"
"Ning Guogong has come to Jinling, but I have never met these two people? Who knows whether what they said is true?"
"What now? This is a hot potato for sincerity."
"It's already like this, what else can we do? Take the person back first. If it's really Ning Guogong's, we can only run away."
Several people nodded, picked up the sacks and left.
At this time, Qiu Ju and Dongmei rushed over. Without saying anything, they directly moved their hands on the two men carrying sacks.
The dagger in his hand quickly slashed across the throats of the two men and snatched the sacks off their backs.
The two men moved so fast that two of the other beggars fell down before they could react.
The remaining beggars were startled and said angrily: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill our brothers?"
Qiu Ju snorted coldly and said: "With your blind eyes, you dare to touch Ning Guogong's sister. You really deserve to die. Go down and accompany your brother."
He handed the sack in his hand to Dongmei and quickly pounced on the remaining beggars, killing them all in a few flashes.
Qingwen asked the soldiers to arrest the troublemaking beggars and rushed over with Lin Daiyu.
Looking at the two unconscious people released from the sack, Lin Daiyu asked: "What's going on? How did it become like this?"
Qiu Ju said: "It's okay, I've been drugged. This sack is smeared with drug. Once a person is put on it, he will be knocked unconscious immediately."
Dongmei took out a small bottle from her arms, uncorked it, put it under their noses and smelled it.
After a while, the two people woke up.
Shi Xiangyun shook his head and murmured: "Fourth sister, Brother Yun can't protect you this time."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she burst out laughing and reached out to flick her head.
"Wake up, young lady, are you still dreaming? If you continue to dream, you will become a beggar's wife."
