Hearing that Jia She was looking for him, Jia Cong nodded.
He said to everyone: "I won't set off for a while, and there are still many things to prepare for. You should also think about whether you can bear the hardship. At least you can run on horseback, and you can barely pass the test.
This time is different from the last time. Last time, we took a boat for the whole journey and you didn’t have to walk, so it was much easier. This time we basically travel by land, which is very hard even if you can drive. "
Hearing what Jia Cong said, most people looked disappointed, as they did not meet the conditions.
When Qin Keqing heard this, she also looked disappointed. She was just a young lady, and she usually only went to the garden to stroll around. She really couldn't stand it when she was asked to travel a long distance.
Hearing this, Youshi felt a little more balanced in her heart. In this case, few people would be able to follow her.
Jia Cong didn't know what Jia She was looking for, so he turned around and walked out the door without any further delay, heading towards Rongguo Mansion.
Arrive at Jia She's room in the East Road courtyard of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Cong stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the master, I wonder what the master's instructions are for calling the children?"
Jia She waved his hand and said: "Sit down, what you did was too reckless. If you offend others, you will not end up well yourself. You need to think twice before you act in the future. Don't act too arbitrarily."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your teaching, sir. My child will definitely keep it in mind."
Jia She continued: "There are official rules in the officialdom. If anyone breaks the rules, he will be the loser. Everyone will attack him in groups, drive him out of the officialdom, or even make him disappear. The fight in the court is no better than It's no different on the battlefield, but it's even more dangerous."
Jia Cong nodded. He had already understood what Jia She said.
As long as no one takes the initiative to provoke him, he is not willing to provoke others.
I have always paid attention to the unity of light and dust, and have not gone too far.
However, Jia Cong was never polite to those who took the initiative to provoke him, and even became ruthless. This was the case with Zhou Hao.
Jia Cong said: "Master, I understand. The root of the Zhou family's affairs is still with the second prince. The reason why I am ruthless is to give Zhou Guifei and the second prince a warning so that they don't make small moves behind them. , otherwise my counterattack would be very fierce."
Jia She sighed and said: "It seems that there is no possibility of reconciliation between you and the second prince. If he succeeds to the throne, our Jia family will probably be in bad luck, and you will not be in good luck. Have you ever thought about what to do?" Resolve?"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "It is probably impossible to resolve this problem. Even if the second prince promises not to hurt me in the future, I have to believe it? The easiest way is to prevent him from taking over, and our Jia family will be fine." "
Jia She shook his head and said: "You can take care of these things yourself, I don't care. Whether you bring the Jia family to heaven or drag them down to hell depends on your own ability.
I asked you to come this time because Sun Shaozu had someone send me a letter, saying that you had severely injured him and did not miss the old love at all. You asked me to come forward to help you mediate. You also wanted to We help him run his official position.
This Sun Shaozu's father used to be a subordinate of the old Duke, and we haven't interacted with him for many years. If you count, he is my generation. What do you mean by this? "
Jia Cong knew in his heart that it was Sun Shaozu, that bastard, who found his cheap man.
These two people still got in touch again. Thinking of the bastard things they did in the original book, they immediately became very angry.
My kick was still gentle. If I had known better, I would have kicked the Zhongshan Wolf to death.
If this guy doesn't stop, he will have to be sent on his way.
Thinking of this, Jia Cong suddenly had an idea. Why not take this opportunity to send that bastard to the Liaodong battlefield?
When the time comes, talk to Amin and ask him to target Sun Shaozu and kill him on the battlefield to avoid getting his hands dirty.
In other words, I have always been helping Amin, and there are really not many times when Amin helps me.
He just helped him knock off a fortune from Hong Tai, and this time he asked him to take action for him and kill Sun Shaozu.
Thinking that such a long time has passed, the barbarian tribe has stabilized internally. Even if he didn't find Amin, Amin would probably start a war again. That guy is also an ambitious master.
After making up his mind, Jia Cong said: "Sun Shaozu wanted to hug the second prince's lap and mix with the Zhou family, so I kicked him and gave him a small punishment. Since he begged the master, then Just accept him.
The master came forward to help him with the operation and asked him to go under the command of Prince Teng of Liaodong to lead troops to fight. Maybe he could be awarded a title for his meritorious service and avoid being a lackey for the second prince. "
Jia She was a little confused and looked at Jia Cong up and down.
I was a little confused in my heart. According to this boy's usual character, since he didn't want to see Sun Shaozu so much, he shouldn't mind his business. What happened today? The sun came out in the west?
After looking at it for a while, I didn't see anything wrong. Since Jia Cong said it, he agreed.
You can't do this for nothing, you must get the benefits. This kid is not short of money, and it seems he wants to use this to honor himself.
Thinking of this, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, since you agree, then I will take the time to run it for him and get him to work under Wang Ziteng."
Jia Cong said: "Master, I heard that Sun Shaozu has a rich family. You can give him a good deal, promise him, give him a powerful general, give him troops along the way, and give him the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
Jia She hesitated and asked, "Can Wang Ziteng agree?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Master, just don't worry, I will send a letter to Wang Ziteng. It is not difficult for such a small matter."
Jia She laughed when he heard this and said happily: "This will be easier to handle. I will definitely give that guy a good blow."
Although I don't know why Jia Cong did this, Jia She was still very happy to get a large sum of money.
After dealing with Jia She, Jia Cong left the East Road Courtyard.
He planned to go to the Grand View Garden from Rongguo Mansion to accompany Sister Lin and Sister Bao.
As soon as she turned a corner, she saw Aunt Zhao walking towards her.
"Hey, Duke Guo, where are you going?"
Seeing Jia Cong, Aunt Zhao came up to him with a smile.
Although Aunt Zhao likes to mess around and can't see the situation clearly, she is not ugly at all. Otherwise, Jia Zheng would not have always doted on her and had two children with her.
Jia Cong took a look at Aunt Zhao. She was about thirty years old. Although she was not as good as Wang Xifeng and others in appearance, she was not much different, and she was on par with Tanchun.
Tan Chun is better at being young and full of vitality, but Aunt Zhao is better at being mature and charming.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I've met my aunt. She just went to the old master's place. I'm just about to go back. Where are you going?"
Aunt Zhao looked around and saw that there was no one around. She took a few steps forward, came to Jia Cong's side, and whispered: "My lord, did you really arrest that Ma Daopo? Did she say anything?"
Are you asking yourself about Ma Dao Po? Are you here to get some news?
Jia Cong suddenly realized that it seemed that Aunt Zhao was waiting for him here specially.
It's been a while since this happened, why is it brought up again now?
Could it be that... I came here to test myself, do I know the truth of the matter, and do I know that she asked Ma Daopo to do it?
This woman really likes to be clever. He had clearly let her go and hid it for her, but he actually brought it up again. She seemed not to be at ease.
She should have asked someone to find Ma Daopo and confirm that something happened to Ma Daopo. She was afraid that Ma Daopo would implicate her.
Knowing that you and Tanchun and Jia Huan are relatively close, you came here to ask, right?
Although I won't report her, I can't let her be too presumptuous and have no scruples.
Otherwise, she might think that she is supporting her.
It would be bad if this really happened. It seemed like I had to scare her and let her know how to be respectful.
Thinking of this, Jia Cong said with a half-smile: "My aunt guessed it right. I arrested Ma Daopo. After being tortured to extract a confession, she told the whole story. She also said that my aunt paid her to kill her." Human.”
"What? That bastard gave me away?"
After Aunt Zhao finished speaking, she instantly realized something and quickly reached out to cover her mouth.
Then he looked at Jia Cong and whispered: "It's not me, it's not me. That's what she said. Maybe she got lost."
Jia Cong was so happy when he saw her like this that he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
She made a serious face and said: "Auntie, please stop making excuses. The evidence is conclusive and you cannot deny it. You gave Ma Dao Po an IOU of five hundred taels of silver. I have the IOU in my hand. What else do you have to say?"
"Borrow...the IOU, is it in your hand?"
Aunt Zhao was startled when she heard this. She stopped quibbling and asked stammeringly.
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well, that's right. I have all the witnesses and physical evidence. It was also for the sake of Third Sister and Brother Huan that I didn't tell you in public."
Aunt Zhao smiled awkwardly and said: "Master Guo, since you haven't said anything yet, can you return all the evidence to me? I will definitely remember your kindness."
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this is not possible. As the leader of the clan, I can't watch you harm my Jia family. If it weren't for the sake of my third sister, I would definitely hold a clan meeting and deal with you severely. In the future If you dare to commit the crime again, you will be punished for both crimes."
Aunt Zhao begged: "Mr. Guo, I will never dare to harm anyone again. Please just spare me this time and give me all the evidence."
Jia Cong shook his head expressionlessly and refused directly.
Jia Cong had already burned the evidence, including Ma Daopo, so there was no evidence for her.
This time it was just to scare her, so that she would not harm others in the future.
Seeing that Jia Cong was unmoved, Aunt Zhao felt a little troubled.
It's not a good thing to hold your own handle in the hands of others.
As long as the other party is unhappy, he can deal with him at any time. This is not possible. He must find a way to get all the evidence back. He cannot always be so controlled by others.
But, how can I get it back?
Jia Cong, a bastard like him, has to think of a way to do this.
Aunt Zhao didn't know that those evidences had been burned by Jia Cong, and she was thinking of ways to get those evidences back.
Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and her plan came to her mind.
He said with a smile: "My lord, you concealed such a big thing for me. I have to thank you properly. Why don't you go to my yard and I'll treat you to a few drinks as a token of my gratitude?" How about a thank you?”
Hearing this, Jia Cong looked her up and down, then shook his head.
"No, such a trivial matter is nothing. From now on, just stay in peace and don't cause trouble again."
After Jia Cong finished speaking, he stopped talking to her and walked away directly.
After all, Aunt Zhao is Jia Zheng's woman. She used to go to her yard to play with Jia Huan. Now that she is older, it is inconvenient to go there. If someone sees her, there may be some rumors.
Aunt Zhao wanted to do something, but she just wanted to get evidence back. She had no evidence to give her.
Seeing Jia Cong leaving, Aunt Zhao stamped her feet bitterly.
Why didn't this bastard fall for the trap? I just want to get the evidence back.
No, the evidence must not be left in his hands. He must get it back no matter what, even if he pays some price for it.
But this bastard has plenty of money and lacks nothing. What should I do?
I don’t know where he put the evidence. If he knew where it was, someone could secretly get it back.
Not to mention that Aunt Zhao is thinking about getting back the evidence and is racking her brains for it.
At this time, Jia Cong had already passed through the corner gate of Rongguo Mansion and entered the Grand View Garden.
"This slave has met the Duke."
The two female guards and two women guarding the corner gate saw Jia Cong coming in and quickly stepped forward to salute.
Jia Cong smiled and said, "No need to be too polite. Keep an eye on the door and don't let anyone else sneak in."
"Yes, Mr. Guo, we will not slack off."
Jia Cong nodded and walked forward along the path in the garden.
Now is the early spring season, everything is recovering, the grass and trees have begun to sprout, and a touch of green has appeared in the garden.
Jia Cong strolled in the garden and looked at the surrounding scenery, and his mood instantly improved a lot.
As he was walking, a girl walked towards him, it was his sister Xichun.
Seeing Jia Cong alone, Xichun ran over with a smile, took Jia Cong's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother, I won't be an official anymore. Please come to the garden to accompany us more often. You haven't told me a story for a long time." .”
Looking at the young and beautiful girl in front of him, Jia Cong couldn't help but sigh that the little girl back then had grown into a big girl.
She was only ten years old when she followed her to Yangzhou, and she and Shi Xiangyun were almost kidnapped by beggars. They were both frightened at the time. Now they are twelve years old, and they are considered big girls.
This girl has been close to me since she was a child. Now that she is older, not only is she no longer unfamiliar, but she is even closer to her.
Jia Cong was also very pleased with this, as he finally did not hurt them in vain.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Well, brother will have more time in the future. I can often come to play with you and tell stories. Forget it. You are a big girl now. You are not the child you used to be. Those stories to coax the children. If you listen to it now, it probably won’t be interesting.”
Xichun smiled and said, "How could it be possible? The stories my brother tells are all good. I have written down all the previous stories and made a big book. I can read them when I have nothing to do. I find them very interesting."
"Hey, I'm a little envious seeing you two brothers and sisters kissing each other."
Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away.
