Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 358 Thunderous Means

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well done." Then he looked at Kongxing and Jie Hui.

Kong Xing hurriedly said: "My lord, I am in a humble position and don't know how to inquire about information. I only focus on killing enemies. I have spent the past two days drinking and socializing with Qiao Qianhu. It's really boring."

Jie Hui also smiled bitterly and said: "The same goes for humble positions."

Jia Cong laughed, liking their simple and straightforward character, "Where are the people you brought?"

"The two thousand troops brought by my brother-in-law and brother-in-law have been booked into several large inns to stay temporarily. I have strictly ordered them not to cause trouble and are on standby at any time."

Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said: "There is no need to stay in an inn. We will all be stationed in Ning Rong's second mansion to strengthen the guard force. We will also allocate some more people to protect the eldest daughter of the Xue family."

"Yes, I humbly obey my orders."

"What do you think about Jinling?" Jia Cong said, looking at Qiao Yin.

Kong Xing and Xie Hui have only been in the industry for a short period of time, and Jin Yiwei's skills are obviously far inferior to Qiao Yin's.

At that moment, Qiao Yin discussed with Jia Cong again.

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Jia Cong said, "That's it. You guys can stay and have dinner before you go. I'll excuse you."

"Your Excellency, please do as you please. Thank you for the food." Kong Xing and Jie Hui both bowed hurriedly.

Qiao Yin secretly calculated in her heart. She heard from the people below that Second Mistress Lian looked moist and had a spring breeze on her face. She was definitely not like a person from Jiukuang. Jing Shen concluded that the work was done, but he still had to think about how to remind the adults.

But you can't do good deeds without leaving your name. That's not Jin Yiwei's style.

Seeing Jia Cong getting up to leave, Qiao Yin hurriedly said: "I have one more thing to do, I have to apologize to you, sir."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Jia Cong frowned slightly.

"This..." Qiao Yin smiled awkwardly.

Kong Xing and the other two hurriedly said: "Let's go eat first." They avoided it.

"Say it." Jia Cong sat down again and glared at him.

"Your Excellency, the thing is like this. I heard that Your Excellency is going south with his family this time. Thinking that Your Excellency has been working on state affairs all day long, and privately thinking of fulfilling his filial piety, I took it upon myself to put some boudoir entertainment things in Your Excellency's room. Available for access.

Unexpectedly, his men were careless and mistakenly placed it in Mistress Lian's house. If you do not perform well in your humble position, please punish me. " Qiao Yin said while secretly looking at Jia Cong's expression.

"Huh? What is it? Why didn't I see it?" Jia Cong said.

"The name of this thing is 'Chun Yu Su'. It is a kind of spice. It is a hundred times more energetic when you smell it. It can bring you the joy of fish and water. It is a treasure passed down by hundreds of families under the humble servant.

If your Excellency still needs it, I humbly order him to offer more. "Qiao Yin said with a smile.

Jia Cong suddenly realized that every time he smelled the fragrance in Sister Feng's room, he felt like he was about to move. It turned out that Sister Feng had become so bold and wanton for a reason.

This bastard's rhetoric and what he said was wrong were clearly nonsense. If it was for his own enjoyment, why didn't he tell him face to face?

Sneaking it into Sister Feng's child's room was obviously to facilitate his attack. Damn it, did he think I was the one who stole my wife?

Thinking of this, Jia Cong glared at Qiao Yin fiercely. He wanted to scold him, but he didn't do it himself. If he didn't scold him, what would be the dignity of Shangguan?

Yin lowered his face and said: "You bastard! You are so smart. These drugs are placed in my sister-in-law's room, which damages her reputation. I'm the only one asking!"

Qiao Yin hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore: "Don't worry, my lord, this matter has been neglected by humble officials. The only people who know about it are Bai Hu and humble officials. If even a word is leaked, I am willing to take legal action against the family."

Jia Cong glanced at him angrily, and when he saw the aggrieved look on his face, he scolded: "You bastard, what are you doing with your wrong ideas? What kind of person am I? If you do it again in the future, you will not be punished lightly." "

"Yes, yes, I humbly bear in mind your teachings."

Qiao Yin knew that he couldn't hide it from him, and he didn't intend to hide it, but this was a bit too much, sir. Why was he still angry if he didn't mention the reward? Oh, the young man must have lost his face.

Now that the matter has come to this, Jia Cong has no choice but to do anything. After all, it seems that he is not at a disadvantage and cannot be harshly criticized, because he waved his hand and said: "Stand down."

"Yes."

"return."

"My lord, please give me your instructions." Qiao Yin felt happy, the lord was still reasonable.

"You think that naughty thing is really miraculous?" Jia Cong said.

Qiao Yin said hurriedly: "I'll send you some more later. Once you try it, you will know that this thing must be used regularly to achieve full effect."

"Well, let's go."

"Yes, I resign from my humble position."

Jia Cong then thought about it and realized that for this reason, even if he was discovered by Baochai and Qier, he would have to explain whether he was a victim or not. Hey, I have a pillow when I feel sleepy.
-

The next day, Jia Cong got up early in the morning, took Qiao Yin and others, and hundreds of soldiers and cavalry, and went straight to Jinling Guard.

Thousands of households from Shadoufu and Jiangnan areas were already waiting at the yamen gate. When they saw Jia Cong and others coming in force, they rushed to greet them.

"The humble rank respectfully welcomes the Admiral."

"Get up."

Jia Cong drove his horse straight into the middle gate, dismounted in front of the Yi Gate, and everyone rushed into the Jinling Wei main hall.

Sitting on the Huanghuali Grand Master's chair in the middle under the large ebony plaque of 'The Untouchable', everyone paid homage together.

Qiao Yin and other thousands and hundreds of households from Shenjing are on the left, and the local Jinyiwei generals are on the right, each in a row.

Jia Cong did not cry out, but glanced lightly. Everyone in Jinling felt a chill in their hearts and quickly lowered their heads. The Admiral was so majestic.

Their evil spirit was developed by torturing prisoners for a long time, while Jia Cong's evil spirit was developed by killing people in the border battlefields. There is a huge difference. Everyone in Jinling was secretly panicked. The admiral's eyes just now were as cold as ice. It was obvious that he must be a ruthless person. It seemed that the rumors were true.

Only the officials of the hundreds of households behind were very happy. If the people in front were unlucky, the people behind us would have a chance to take over.

Just listen to Jia Cong say coldly: "This governor is from Nansi, and he has always regarded military discipline and law as the standard. When he was in Shenjing, he was cruel and rectified it severely. You know it."

"Yes, I understand." Everyone said in unison.

"Before coming, I asked someone to check the background of your Jinling Guards. It's so messy, shocking, and full of evil deeds that are outrageous! Shadoufu, what crime do you deserve as a governor!" Jia Cong shouted.

Sha Dou Fu trembled and kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am a low-ranking official. I have been tortured and intimidated by the thieves Wan and Tang. I have done some things that are against my will and discipline. I have no choice but to do it. It is not true." My true intention is to have mercy on you, sir.”

Thousands of households hurriedly said in unison: "I hope you will be merciful."

Jia Cong chuckled and said, "You have no choice, you have no choice? That's fine. Wan and Tang were powerful at the time. As soldiers, if you obey orders, it can't be considered a fault..."

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."

"However, Wan and Tang are forcing you to prey on the common people, take advantage of them, force good people into prostitution, and kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Jia Cong's voice became more serious.

Everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave when they heard this, with cold sweat dripping down their faces.

"Mo Zhenye of a Thousand Households was sentenced to death. On June 12, the seventh year of Xifeng, because he took a fancy to the beauty of the commoner girl Zhao, she took her as a concubine. Zhao's father and brother stopped her, and you ordered her to beat her to death on the spot. Is this so true? thing?"

Jia Cong opened the file and sneered.

Mo Zhenye felt a chill in his heart. This matter was extremely secret. Only the most trusted school captains and hundreds of households knew about it. How did he know about it? Damn it! Someone rebelled! Thinking of this, I dare not deny it, and I kowtow to beg for mercy.

"My lord, please spare my life. I was confused for a moment. I beg you, for the sake of your loyalty to my duty these years, please be more generous."

Sha Doufu said hurriedly: "Admiral, Mo Qianhu has solved strange cases many times over the years and has made great achievements. He is a rare talent. Please let him take the blame for his meritorious service."

Jia Cong glanced at him coldly and said sternly: "You have failed to discipline and control your subordinates, which has led to the laxity of military discipline and lax military law. You cannot absolve yourself of the blame for their sins!

I didn't ask about your guilt, but you still dare to plead for mercy! Sha Dou Fu, how many heads do you have? "

"I am guilty of a low position, please have mercy." Sha Doufu was glanced at by Jia Cong's murderous eyes, his heart trembled, and he kowtowed hurriedly.

"Come here, get Mo Zhenye!" Jia Cong shouted.

Tiqi, who came from Shenjing, came out, held down Mo Zhenye and tied him up.

"Sha Zhenfu, help, help!"

Mo Zhenye knew very well that Jia Cong killed without blinking an eye, and no one who was "captured" was left alive. He was so frightened that he screamed for his life.

Sha Dou Fu smiled bitterly. There was no point in offending Jia Cong for a thousand households.

Jia Cong stared at the audience, everyone bowed their heads, no one dared to look at him.

"On October 20, the eighth year of Xifeng, in charge of thousands of households in Hualang, he framed Zhang Jialiang, a member of the East City Council, and framed him for having an affair with a water bandit. He tortured his family to death, then seized his family property, raped his wife and daughter, and sold them Is it possible to enter a brothel?" Jia Cong sneered.

"I...I...please have mercy on me! I will swear allegiance to you from now on." Hua Lang screamed, his face as white as paper.

Jia Cong waved his hand, and Tiqi took it down again.

Everyone trembled and shivered.

Several brave-hearted Qianhu and deputy Qianhu have begun to wink at each other, encouraging Sha Dou Fu to resist the "disordered life" and "harsh laws".

Sha Dou Fu's heart was in turmoil, and he could not make a decision for a while. He committed the following crime and violently resisted the law. This was a very serious crime within Jinyiwei, and was slightly less serious than treason.

What's more, Jia Cong had a strong army and a strong horse, and he was not sure how many people he could order to disobey the admiral in brocade clothes, so he said nothing and only acted.

He never expected that Jia Cong would kill him on the first day he arrived, leaving him no chance to prepare or resist.

Jia Cong believed that he was invincible and did not take these chickens and dogs to heart. He sneered and said: "I am the most just and do not like to beat someone into submission. If the accusation is not true, you can complain, let alone me." The governor won’t let you speak.”

"Of course, if there is a hero who wants to risk his life, he might as well gather his troops quickly and see if I can kill you and other nine tribes." Jia Cong sneered.

No one dared to answer, and the hall was deathly silent.

Jia Cong continued to read: "Sun Gaoyi, who was in charge of thousands of households, on the evening of April 18th in the fifth year of Xifeng, on the Qingbo Painted Boat on the Qinhuai River, he got into a dispute with four imperial eunuchs who were jealous of each other, so he ordered the four of them to be killed. Knocked into the water, they all drowned, and then walked away. Is this possible?"

When Sun Gaoyi saw Jia Cong taking down the four thousand households one by one, he was a man who had led troops for a long time and was quite brave. He stood up with a cold snort and said loudly: "This is a malicious slander, and I will not humble myself despite my humble position.

Those four people got drunk and fell into the river. What did they have to do with their humble positions? Xuedao and the government office have long had a public opinion. From the beginning to the end, the humble position has never touched a hair on their hair. Please take a closer look, the admiral. "

Jia Cong laughed and said: "Finally, someone with a handle is here, okay, okay. According to you, this governor has wronged you?"

"Don't dare to humiliate me. There must be a villain behind my back to slander me and deceive you. Please be aware of this and clear my name." Sun Gaoyi said, neither humble nor arrogant.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's not too late to take it down first and then complain about it." Before he finished speaking, several Tiqi came in with ropes.

"Wait a minute!" Sun Gaoyi shouted, "Your Excellency, you just listen to one side and make a hasty decision. If you are humble in your position, I am afraid that the brothers of Jinling Guard will not surrender either! Please think again, Your Excellency."

Jia Cong heard the threatening tone in his words, shook his head and said with a smile, "Oh? If you point out who is not lying down, I will take a look at it. If you can point it out, I will spare your life, how about that?"

Sun Gaoyi was delighted, "This is what the adults said."

He hurriedly said to his subordinates who were kneeling behind him: "You will stay with me for a long time. Please tell me what kind of person I am."

How could those few households dare to speak? They were all as silent as ostriches, wishing they could bury their heads in the ground.
