Jia Cong returned to the back house and asked Xi Ren to change his clothes.
Xiren picked up the clothes Jia Cong had changed, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said doubtfully: "Sir, why are there some rose scents on your clothes? Didn't you go out looking for a woman last night? ?”
This girl has such a sensitive nose, she's almost as good as a police dog.
This woman's feeling is really accurate. She is just looking for a woman. She has been having a crazy day with the Queen and Concubine Chen.
However, no one should know about this kind of thing, let alone the women around him.
Women are all jealous, and nothing good will come of it.
So far, women like me have been getting along relatively harmoniously. If women from the outside intervene, they will share the same hatred and deal with the outside world.
Jia Cong said with a straight face: "Don't say this nonsense. I stayed in the palace all night yesterday. If your words get out, I will probably lose my head."
Xiren said "Ah" and said, "Sir, did you really stay in the palace all night?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "Of course it is true, but there are also lies. Didn't Li Biao tell you yesterday?"
Xiren said: "Qingwen went to ask and said that you were left in the palace, so we were relieved."
Jia Cong said: "Where is Qingwen? Why didn't I see her?"
Xiren smiled and said: "Qingwen, Da Yu'er and the others went to play in the garden together. These girls have been playing crazy recently. The three Da Yu'er sisters often live in the garden."
Jia Cong smiled. The three Da Yuer sisters were all prairie people, so they naturally liked the beautiful scenery in the south.
Da Yu'er was a little better. He had been to Jiangnan with him and had seen the garden scenery of Jiangnan.
It was the first time for Hai Lanzhu and Xiao Yu'er to see such a luxurious and beautiful garden scenery, so naturally they couldn't resist the temptation, which was reasonable.
Jia Cong said: "I have the Grand View Garden in my hands just so that you can go in and take a walk and relax. I have sorted out the Yihong Courtyard so that you can rest there and live there occasionally. It's no problem."
While the two were talking, Yuanyang and Heping'er walked in together.
Ping'er said: "Master, I have some accounting matters that I want to talk to you about. Do you have time now?"
Jia Cong glanced at Ping'er and already guessed what she wanted to say.
He nodded and said: "Let's go to the study room to talk."
The three of them came to the study room, and Ping'er couldn't wait to say: "Sir, since last year, the money from the family has been flowing out like running water. Counting the money used to build the Grand View Garden, nearly five million taels of silver have been spent so far. .
All this money was taken away by Wangcai. What on earth was he doing outside? Can you tell me, too, otherwise I can't let go of this mentality. Although our family is not short of money, it won't last for a few years if we continue to spend it like this? "
Yuanyang said: "Master, I'm also very curious. What have you done with all the money? Did you ask Wangcai to search for beauties for you? With more than four million taels of silver, how many beauties will you have to buy? Master, are you not afraid? Are you being sucked and fucked by adults?”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The women at home are enough to keep me busy. How can I still have the energy to find women outside? I haven't lived enough yet.
You little melon, what do you think about every day? Am I such an impatient person? I didn’t want to tell you for the time being, but since you asked, I’ll tell you. However, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this except you two. "
The two nodded and said, "Sir, if it's too important, it's okay not to tell us."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You two are my right-hand men, so I can naturally trust you. Although I am in a high and powerful position now, I am with you like a tiger. I might be targeted one day. I don't want to be hacked." I don’t want to see you lead a miserable life.
Therefore, I have prepared a way out for myself and occupied an island overseas. Once I can no longer gain a foothold in the capital, I will take you to live on the island. All the money I earn from prosperity will be spent on the construction of the island. , now you understand. "
The two people's eyes widened in surprise. This amount of information was a bit too much for them.
I originally thought that with Jia Cong's current position of power, he would be able to live a prosperous life, and no one would dare to provoke him, but unexpectedly, there was a crisis inside.
Ping'er said: "Sir, are you thinking too much? I have made great contributions to the country. His Majesty will not treat you like this, right?"
Yuanyang said: "This is hard to say. In the novel, many emperors like to kill meritorious officials. However, the Taizu of this dynasty has never killed meritorious officials. They all rewarded them based on their merits."
Jia Cong said: "Who can know what will happen in the future? It's best if it doesn't happen. Once something like that does happen, we'd better have a way out, lest we get cornered and be beheaded."
Ping'er said: "Master, is it safe on the island? Where is our island?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, since it is an escape route prepared for ourselves, there will naturally be no security issues. The island is very large and can accommodate a population of four to five million. There are now one hundred thousand people there.
The entire island is our private property, and it is temporarily managed by Wangcai. A city is being built on the island. At the same time, a palace is being built for us, so the money spent is a bit too much. It is estimated that a lot of money will be invested this year. "
"Ah, such a big island? Master, does such a big island really belong to us? How did you get it?"
Yuanyang asked with a surprised look on his face.
Ping'er was also very surprised and stared at Jia Cong.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "This island is called Jeju Island. It is to the south of Korea and to the east of us. There are nearly 20,000 indigenous people on it. I sent people to attack it. Last year, another 80,000 people moved up. Now there are more than 100,000 people.
When I have free time, I will take you to see it. The scenery there is also quite good. "
When the two heard this, they finally understood.
This is really a big fortune. With so many people on it, do you want to become the king?
This man is really capable of tossing things around. He looked at Jia Cong with eyes full of admiration.
Yuanyang said: "Master, have you been to that Jeju Island?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "We only captured it last year, and I haven't been there either. Haven't I been staying with you at home these past two years? I can't leave the capital without His Majesty's permission."
Ping'er said: "Sir, this is really a big fortune. It needs to be managed carefully."
Jia Cong said: "That's natural. Taking advantage of the flood victims this year, I plan to move some people to the island and develop the entire island. Even if we don't live on the island in the future, we can still pass it on to our children. Such a big The territory is divided enough.”
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Master, you are thinking too early now, you don't even have a hair on your head yet."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "I'll plant some root hairs for you in the evening. I'll see if you're still good at it."
Yuanyang said: "Master, if you dare to plant it, I dare to take it."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Wouldn't it be better to play for two more years? It will be different after we have children."
Ping'er said: "Master, you always say that, Yuanyang and I are already old. If we don't have a child, we will be old in a few years. Even Xiangling can't hold his anger."
Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "If you really want a child, then prepare to have one this year."
When the two heard this, they both laughed.
"Master, this is what you said, don't go back on it."
Jia Cong said: "Well, there is nothing to regret about this. If you want to have a baby, just have one. From now on, you will have one baby a year, and each of you will have ten or eight babies, so that you can have enough."
"Bah, you thought this was a pig."
Yuanyang said: "Sir, is Zhang Hu on Jeju Island?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "No, Zhang Hu is in Mongolia, and we have our territory there. However, if something happens, it is too difficult to go to Mongolia, and the checkpoints along the way will be difficult to pass. It is more convenient and safer to go to sea. , once we reach the sea, it will be our world.”
Ping'er said excitedly: "Master, you are so powerful. You grab territory wherever you go. No wonder our caravan has never had any trouble. So that's what happened."
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't tell anyone about these things. I didn't even tell Sister Lin. Once word spreads outside, we really should run away."
When the two heard this, their smiles became even brighter.
This was Jia Cong's trust in them, and he felt even more happy.
"Master, don't worry, we will never tell anyone."
······
At this time, the Zhou family was already in turmoil.
Zhou Hao was sent home. Seeing Zhou Hao's miserable condition, Zhou Hao's mother burst into tears.
"My son, what's wrong with you? Don't be so scared."
Zhou's father's face changed when he saw this. He took a closer look at his son's injuries. His face became very ugly, and he was filled with anger. His son had really been castrated by Jia Cong.
This bastard showed no mercy at all, he was so unscrupulous.
Zhou Benzheng roared angrily: "Jia Cong, my son, you have gone too far to bully others. I will never let you go."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he quickly asked for a doctor to bandage the wound.
After asking carefully about what happened, it was confirmed that it was Jia Cong who did it, and his heart was filled with hatred.
Just because of a few quarrels, he castrated his own son. It was so arrogant and arrogant.
Do you really think that if you kill a few more people, everyone will be afraid of you? Is it lawless?
Now that you have destroyed my son, I will never let you go.
After some diagnosis and treatment by the doctor, Zhou Hao's life was saved, but he was no longer a man.
Zhou Hao woke up and remembered what happened in the restaurant, his expression suddenly changed.
"Ah, Jia Cong, you bastard, I will definitely kill you."
When Zhou Hao saw that he had become a eunuch, his spirit collapsed instantly and he roared. His hatred for Jia Cong reached its peak in an instant.
"Father, mother, that bastard Jia Cong hurt me like this, you must avenge your son."
When Mrs. Zhou saw her son's appearance, she felt distressed and said, "Master, you can't ignore Hao'er being killed like this. You must make the Jia family pay the price."
Zhou Benzheng said: "Madam, don't worry. Although Jia Cong has a vicious reputation, our Zhou family is not afraid of them even if the concubine is here. Now, if my son is harmed like this, I will never let Jia Cong go."
"Who is it? Who harmed my dear grandson? Is there any justice left?"
Mrs. Zhou, supported by the maid, walked in tremblingly.
Zhou Haoda cried: "Grandma, you have to make the decision for your grandson. That bastard Jia Cong has caused great harm to your grandson. I want him to die, I want him to die."
At the end of the sentence, Zhou Hao roared loudly.
Mrs. Zhou felt distressed and said: "My dear grandson, don't worry, grandma will definitely vent her anger on you. You should recover well first, and I will ask your noble concubine and aunt to come forward and avenge you."
That afternoon, the Zhou family sent the news to the palace and told Concubine Zhou.
After Concubine Zhou heard about it, she was so angry that she just cursed.
The maids and eunuchs around him were so frightened that they all lowered their heads and trembled fearfully, fearing that Concubine Zhou would anger them.
After getting angry, Concubine Zhou gradually calmed down and thought in her heart.
The Jia family and the Zhou family were not celebrating the holidays, so they shouldn't be so cruel.
Could it be that he was targeting Jia Cong and Jia Cong knew about it?
Are you retaliating against yourself or warning yourself by doing this?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it became. Jia Cong had no choice but to target his natal family.
Take this to retaliate and warn yourself.
She, a dignified concubine, was actually threatened with revenge.
Thinking of this, Concubine Zhou was filled with resentment.
Although she was a noble concubine, she had no way to deal with Jia Cong, just like he had no way to deal with himself.
A palace wall separates them, but they are two different worlds. No one can do anything about the other. It seems that they can only ask Your Majesty to make the decision for themselves.
In addition, you can also ask your prince to think of a solution outside.
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and ordered a young eunuch to deliver a message to the second prince's house.
Concubine Zhou took the maids and went straight to His Majesty's palace.
At the same time, Dai Quan also got the news.
Regarding Jia Cong's willfulness, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He had just told him that Concubine Zhou was targeting him, and he immediately took revenge.
When I saw Concubine Zhou coming to see His Majesty again, I knew she was here to complain.
After thinking about it, I should still tell Jia Cong to let him be on guard.
He ordered his godson, eunuch Xiao Li, to leave the palace quietly and go to Ningguo Mansion to deliver a message to Jia Cong.
Concubine Chen hurriedly found the queen and asked the maids and taiji around her to step back.
The queen asked doubtfully: "Sister, what's wrong with you? You're in such a hurry. Could something have happened?"
Concubine Chen whispered: "Sister, it's not good. I just heard the news. On his way back, Duke Ning Guo destroyed Concubine Zhou's family. The Zhou family went to the palace to find Concubine Zhou, and Concubine Zhou had already gone to find the emperor.
Sister, what should we do now? Do you want to help Duke Ning Guo? "
When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but frown.
Jia Cong is this bastard, he really doesn't stop for a moment, and he started causing trouble again as soon as he left the palace.
Concubine Chen, too, had already put all her thoughts on Jia Cong. As soon as there was some trouble, she began to lose her temper.
The Queen said: "We will not come forward in this matter for the time being. If we come forward forcefully, it will only make His Majesty suspicious. We will wait and see what happens. Duke Ning Guo is not that easy to deal with."
