Not long after Jia Cong fell asleep.
Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Shi Xiangyun and others came to Ningguo Mansion together.
Youshi, Ping'er, Yuanyang and others hurriedly welcomed them in.
Youshi smiled and said: "Several sisters are here because they are stuck on meal time. We have already prepared the meals. It just so happens that you are staying here today. Let's eat here."
Lin Daiyu glanced around and didn't see Jia Cong. She was a little confused. Could it be that he hadn't come back yet?
He smiled at Youshi and said, "Sister-in-law, brother Cong hasn't come back yet? Why didn't I see him?"
Youshi smiled and said, "Brother Cong is back. He just had some errands last night and didn't sleep all night. He took a shower and then went to sleep. Why don't you wake him up?"
Lin Daiyu was somewhat relieved when she heard that Jia Cong had fallen asleep.
Seeing the expressions of Yuanyang and others, it didn't look like something was going on. It seemed like they were fine, otherwise these people would have been anxious a long time ago.
Xichun asked anxiously: "Sister-in-law, I heard from Sister Bao that my brother took people to fight today. Is he okay?"
Youshi suddenly realized, I asked these girls, why did they come here at this point? It turned out that they were worried about Brother Cong, but they had good intentions, and Brother Cong's care for them over the years was not in vain.
"Sisters, don't worry. Brother Cong is fine and not injured. Yuanyang and the others have checked him out. Don't worry."
Yuanyang also smiled and said: "Miss Lin, Fourth Miss, don't worry. When I was taking a bath just now, we all checked over and found no injuries at all. It's very good."
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "My mother and I were talking at home, and my brother suddenly ran back and said he saw Brother Cong leading dozens of people to fight with five or six hundred people.
My mother was shocked at the time and felt a little worried, so she asked me to ask Sister Lin to see if she knew anything about the situation. Sister Lin didn’t know either, so we came over together to ask. "
Qingwen said: "Don't worry, girls. Those mobs can't hurt me. Besides, with us by your side, we won't let you get hurt."
Yingchun said: "It's good that Brother Cong is fine, so we can rest assured."
Shi Xiangyun said: "The third brother has been very powerful since he was a child. How could he be injured? I tell you, but you still don't believe it."
Tanchun said: "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I can't let go since I haven't received the exact information."
Lin Daiyu asked: "Qingwen, did you go with brother Cong? Tell us what happened, why did you start fighting again after being fine?"
Qingwen said: "Miss Lin, a group of human traffickers were discovered on the night of the Lantern Festival. Our master led people to arrest them overnight, and then asked the Iron Blood Gang who helped them, and even took away the Iron Blood Gang together.
Originally we didn't want to take action, we were just watching outside. Suddenly a group of reinforcements came, so we had no choice but to take action and wipe them out. That was it. "
Shi Xiangyun said angrily: "What, another human trafficker? These people deserve to die. They deserve to meet the third brother."
Xichun nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, the human traffickers are so abominable. I'll tell my brother later and we can't let them off lightly."

Youshi, Xue Baochai and others were a little puzzled when they saw such a big reaction.
Only people who have been to Jiangnan together know that the reason why these two little guys had such a big reaction was because they sneaked out to play and were almost caught by human traffickers.
Lin Daiyu smiled and felt relieved that Jia Cong was fine.
"Since Brother Cong hasn't slept all night, let him sleep well. There is no need to call him again. We are relieved to know that he is fine. By the way, Qingwen, how can there be so many people in one gang? Those reinforcements are really Are they from the gang?"
Qingwen glanced at everyone in the room. Almost all of them were his women, even if they weren't now, they would be in the future.
There are only a few girls left, but they are not considered outsiders.
It's probably impossible for me and the second prince to reconcile. They may be lifelong enemies. Everyone knows this sooner or later. It doesn't matter if I tell them now. It would be better to be more careful.
Thinking of this, he said: "Miss Lin, the backer behind the Iron Blood Gang is the second prince, and those reinforcements should also be the second prince's people. Our master has completely offended the second prince.
In the future, everyone will be more careful when encountering things related to the second prince. The second prince has no choice but to use our master, and he may use dirty tricks to attack the people around him. "
Everyone was a little worried when they heard this. He was the second prince and had a high status. Who would dare to offend him except the emperor?
Xue Baochai said: "Qingwen, since you know that the backer of the Iron Blood Gang is the second prince, why do brothers Cong still take action? The second prince has a special status, and it is not a good thing to offend him."
Qingwen said: "Miss Xue, after our master found out this time, he first asked your Majesty for instructions. Your Majesty issued an order to raid the Iron Blood Gang. Our master was on an errand according to the order.
Besides, our father has overthrown the entire Yangzhou officialdom, and almost all of them are members of the second prince. They have offended the second prince a long time ago, and reconciliation is no longer possible. "
Lin Daiyu knew that what Jia Cong did in Yangzhou was all for the Lin family and to avenge her father and mother. She offended the second prince and felt a little guilty in her heart.
If Qingwen hadn't said it today, he wouldn't have known about it.
Brother Cong has never told him about the second prince, probably because he is afraid that he will think too much about it, right?
Brother Cong was really kind to me. He had done so much for him, and he could only use this life to repay him.
"Qingwen, if you stay with brother Cong, you will have to worry more in the future."
Qingwen smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Lin. As long as we are here, nothing will happen to me. No one in Liaodong is my opponent, and the same is true in Shenjing City."
Ping'er said: "Miss Lin, let's eat first. The food has been prepared. Let's talk after eating."
Everyone was not polite and stayed at Ningguo Mansion for dinner.
After dinner, they had another conversation, and went to the back room to see Jia Cong. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, they left without disturbing him, and then Lin Daiyu and others stood up to leave.
Xichun and Shi Xiangyun, however, chose to stay.
During this period, Xichun often stayed in Ningguo Mansion, and everyone was used to it. Seeing that she insisted on staying, they didn't say anything.
Shi Xiangyun said that he wanted to keep Xichun company here to prevent her from being too lonely.
Lin Daiyu knew that the two of them had criminal records, so she warned them and asked Yuanyang to watch them carefully, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion with the others.
······
Not long after Jia Cong left the palace, the second prince Xiang Hong was introduced to the palace by Emperor Longqing.
The second prince was walking in the palace, feeling a little uneasy.
Obviously, his father asked him to enter the palace because of what happened today. I don’t know what that bastard Jia Cong told his father.
When I thought of Jia Cong, I immediately gritted my teeth and felt a burst of secret hatred in my heart.
This bastard made all his years of hard work go to waste in one fell swoop. He killed all the more than 800 warriors he had cultivated secretly, leaving not a single one behind.
His ruthless and decisive attitude is simply outrageous.
He knew clearly that those people were his own men and yet he did such a cruel trick. He didn't take the second prince seriously at all.
This reminded him of King Zhongshun, his uncle who also suffered a great loss at the hands of Jia Cong. More than a thousand horses and horses were slaughtered and burned to ashes.
This Uncle Wang didn't even dare to let out a fart, so he just let it go.
Even when I encouraged him to take action against Jia Cong, he simply refused without any hesitation, which was really a pity.
It is estimated that Uncle Wang was frightened by that boy Jia Cong.
Facing Jia Cong, I was a little helpless. I originally thought of taking action today and deal with him together, but instead of thinking, I suffered a big loss, and my many years of hard work were in vain.
I don’t know who gave Jia Cong such courage and made him act so boldly.
Aren't you afraid that if you become more powerful in the future, you will turn around and deal with him?
He secretly swore in his heart that once he succeeded to the throne in the future, he would be the first to deal with the bastard Jia Cong.
Little did he know that Jia Cong had already thought of this result.
He has already made up his mind to prevent him from ascending to the throne of emperor. There is bound to be a fierce competition between the two of them.
Arriving at the imperial study, the second prince stepped forward to salute.
"My son, please pay homage to your father."
Emperor Longqing looked up at him, ignored him, and looked down at the memorial again.
This unfilial son is becoming more and more courageous. He dares to hide people in the capital. His heart is to be punished. However, this is his own son, and he really cannot bear to kill his son.
Let him go this time and let him kneel down and reflect.
Seeing that Emperor Longqing didn't pay attention to him, let alone call him to get up, the second prince could only kneel down.
I groaned secretly in my heart. I knew without thinking that it must be because of today's incident. I don't know if that bastard Jia Cong said something to his father in an exaggerated manner.
For the current plan, we can only refuse to admit our guilt. Fortunately, Jia Cong killed everyone.
Now there is no proof, no conclusive evidence. As long as he refuses to admit it, even his father can't do anything to him.
Thinking of this, my heart slowly calmed down.
He had been kneeling for nearly half an hour. The pain below his knees was so painful that it was a bit unbearable for him.
Emperor Longqing looked at the time and then closed the memorial and raised his head.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Do you know your sin?"
The second prince said: "Father, my son has always been conscientious and abiding by the law, but I don't know what crime he committed? Please make it clear, father."
Emperor Longqing snorted and said: "How dare you say that you don't know? How dare you say that the Iron Blood Gang is not your property? You hid people in the capital and sent out more than 500 people without authorization. How dare you say that this was not done by you?" ?”
The second prince said with a tearful expression: "Father, I have been wronged. Father, you cannot listen to other people's slanders and accuse me unjustly. That Iron-Blooded Gang is really not my property. I just serve as their backer." , charge them some protection fees.
There is really nothing else besides that. Hiding people and horses in the capital is even more nonsense. Even if I have great courage, I would not dare to do this. It must be Ning Guogong who has wronged my son. He also asked his father to see clearly. To restore my son's innocence. "
These words immediately made Emperor Longqing laugh angrily.
This unfilial son, knowing that everyone had been killed and that there was no proof of the matter, actually refused to admit it.
He also threw the blame on Jia Cong, saying that Jia Cong framed him.
How did he know that Jia Cong never mentioned him from the beginning to the end, and even deliberately concealed it for him, fearing that he would know about this unfilial son's behavior, which was a bit difficult to do, but it could be said that he was intentional.
If Dai Quan hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known about this matter.
Jia Cong didn't leave his name behind when he did good deeds. It's better for you, but you think of people as bad and refuse to admit what you have done.
Emperor Longqing became more and more angry as he thought about it. He stood up, walked around the front, raised his foot and kicked the second prince on the shoulder, knocking him to the ground.
"You bastard, you don't admit or tell what you did, and you are still here to criticize Ning Guogong. Jia Cong never mentioned you in front of me, and deliberately concealed your behavior. You really let me down.
Do you think that if you refuse to admit it, I won’t know that you did it? Do you think that I am a fool? "
After being kicked to the ground by Emperor Longqing, the second prince was also shocked when he saw Emperor Longqing getting angry.
He quickly got up and knelt in front of Emperor Longqing, crying: "I don't dare, I don't dare to deceive my father, but I really didn't do this. I hope my father will tell me."
The second prince was crying so hard that Emperor Long Qing was a little doubtful. Did he make a mistake?
Then he shook his head, this unfilial son was acting out with him, it was really hard for him, the acting was so similar, I almost believed his lies.
Comparing the two sides, a judgment can be made.
For the sake of harmony between his father and son, Jia Cong took the initiative to conceal some things, and he had no intention of showing off his merits. This character is so rare, he really thought about himself wholeheartedly.
If Dai Quan hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known it. Jia Cong was really a loyal and filial man.
Look at what this unfilial son has done, it's really hard to like.
Long Qing sighed and said: "That's it! Just step back, go back and shut up for half a year, and give me a good reflection. If you dare to act recklessly again and don't know how to advance or retreat, don't blame me for not thinking about the love between father and son."
The second prince breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He finally passed this test and quickly kowtowed in thanks.
"My son, in compliance with the decree, will definitely remember his father's teachings and will not let him down."

Rongguo Mansion, Jia Mu's house.
When it was time to eat, none of the little girls came.
Mother Jia was a little confused, what were these little girls playing at? You actually forgot to eat?
He said to Amber beside him: "Go and call the girls over. Dinner will be served soon."
"I know, old lady, I will go and call the girls over now."
Amber agreed and went out, and came back from outside after a while.
Seeing her coming back alone, Jia Mu couldn't help but ask, "Why are you back by yourself? Where are Yu'er and the others? Why didn't they come together?"
Hu Hu said: "Old lady, the girls are not in the house. The servants asked the maids in the house and they said that Miss Xue came over and said that Duke Ning Guo was fighting with someone today. The girls were worried, so they went together. Go to Ningguo Mansion."
