Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

On the first day of September, Jia Cong and his party finally arrived in Shenjing.

He asked Baochai, Daiyu and others to return home first, and ordered Sister Feng to properly resettle Pang Chao.

Jia Cong said goodbye to everyone and went to the palace to deliver the order.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, two young eunuchs came to greet him and bowed and said: "I'm here to see Uncle Dang Kou. Manager Dai knows that my uncle will return to Beijing in the past two days, so he specially ordered me to wait and greet him every day."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Jia Cong smiled slightly. It seemed that the gift of one million taels of silver was quite popular with Dai Quan.

"Don't dare."

The two young eunuchs led him into the Yangxin Gate, when they saw Dai Quan coming down from Danqi to welcome him.

"Oh, brother Cong, our family has been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have brought you back. When you are not around, our family is really unable to do anything." Dai Quan said with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.

Jia Cong was so flattered that he returned the favor and said, "Thanks to the steward, Cong's trip to Jiangnan went smoothly. The day before yesterday, I ordered someone to bring some local products from Jiangnan to the internal minister. Don't think it's despicable."

Dai Quan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Our family has not been out of Shenjing City for many years, and we have long admired the Jiangnan scenery. We really like the local products that my brother gave me. Thank you very much for your trouble. You are still thinking of our family despite your busy schedule."

"It should be, it should be, Cong will not dare or forget the feeling of caring for me in one day. How is your Majesty feeling today?" Jia Cong asked.

Dai Quan smiled and said: "Well, in the past few days, Jiangnan Zhezi has been coming in continuously. They all say that the new law is progressing very quickly, and all the big families are complying with it, or they are praising my brother for his ability to quell chaos and stabilize the country.

Your Majesty has been very happy these days and is asking about my brother's schedule every day. In my opinion, it is rare to receive a reward. "

"Cong has been away for days. The emperor is grateful to the internal affairs for taking care of him." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said.

"Hey, what's the difference between you and me, brothers? If you need a brother, just talk. If you frown, our family is not raised by father and mother." Dai Quan said.

"The Prime Minister's words are serious. However, Cong doesn't know what it means to be polite. I will never trouble the manager in the future." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"It's easy to talk about."

The two of them were walking and talking until they arrived outside the Yangxin Hall.

"Brother, wait a moment, let's go in and report."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

After a while, Dai Quan came out and invited him in.

Jia Cong went in familiarly and saw two other New Party bosses, Huo Peng and Dong Yi, Lin Ruhai and another minister he didn't know. He was too busy looking at them and bowed down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, Jia Cong, is here to see you. This time I went south to the south of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, I have lived up to my command. I will return to Beijing today to deliver the order and ask for your Majesty's instructions."

Emperor Xifeng smiled slightly and said: "Pingshen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Xifeng looked him up and down and said with a smile: "My dear friends, look, I haven't seen you for three months, but Jia Cong has grown a little taller?"

Huo Peng said with a smile: "Dang Koubo is still a young man, and he has been blessed by the emperor's grace. Naturally, his sesame seeds are blooming more and more."

Jia Cong bowed and said, "Thank you for your love. I practice martial arts every day and strengthen my muscles and bones, so I grow faster than ordinary people."

Emperor Xifeng said: "Young man, your blood is not stable yet, so be wary of sex. Although your body and bones are good, don't indulge in it. You must know that sex is a steel knife for scraping bones."

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "The Holy Spirit has made it clear that I have been obsessed with martial arts for a long time, and the appearance of women is not very important."

Emperor Xifeng said, "It doesn't matter. How can I bring many female relatives with me on a mission? Ask these two bachelors, is there anyone in the world who dares to do such a mission? Those who don't know may think you are going on a sightseeing tour."

Jia Cong hurriedly looked at Huo Dong and others, and when he saw them all smiling and nodding, he felt relieved and said: "When I return to the Holy Spirit, I am not seeking pleasure, but because of this, I am not allowed to interact with Jinling's family friends.

Therefore, I brought along the legitimate ladies of the Xue family and the Wang family, and by the way, Miss Lin, to fulfill my filial piety in front of my uncle, and for no other purpose. "

Emperor Xifeng smiled slightly: "That makes sense, but why did you bring your aunt with you? I heard that there was an extra girl on the way back, so why did you bring me along?"

Nowadays, everyone in Beijing is saying that you, Jia Cong, are so happy in the south of the Yangtze River wielding a murderous sword, drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman. "

Jia Cong smiled awkwardly, knowing that he was talking about Qingwen and Chu Chan, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Going back to the Holy Spirit, I need someone to take care of my food and daily life when I am away from home, so that I can concentrate on running errands, so I brought an aunt with me." As for the Chu family Miss, I dare not hide it, because I saw her beauty and became greedy, so I took her into the room and asked the Holy One to punish me. However, during this trip to Jiangnan, I will never dare to abuse my power and do anything wrong."

Everyone laughed, the young man was lustful and did ordinary things.

Emperor Xifeng glared at him angrily and said, "I don't have time to take care of these trivial matters, so you can take care of them yourself.

I know everything you did in Jiangnan. Although you acted a little ridiculously, you did a good job at last. You were quick in fighting chaos and able to detect rapes. Gu Qing praised you a lot. Do you have anything to say? "

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "I can only rely on the great power of God to do things according to the emperor's will. How can I get any credit? Gu Zhitai is too polite, and I don't dare to accept it.

There is another thing. This time I went south to Jinling and raided more than ten large companies that were illegal and disruptive and colluded with bandits to cause chaos..."

As he spoke, he took out an abbreviation from his sleeve and read: "In total, we obtained more than 27 million taels of silver, more than 1.7 million acres of farmland, houses and gardens, gold and jade utensils, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, valuable furniture, There are some silks, silks, and satins, the total value of which is roughly estimated to be no less than 80 million taels. Please see it, Your Majesty."

Everyone was secretly shocked. These wealthy families were indeed as rich as the country.

Emperor Xifeng's eyes also lit up, he took the abbreviation presented by Dai Quan, browsed it quickly, nodded slightly and said: "These greedy wealthy families, how kind the court treats them, they are not satisfied even if they have accumulated such huge wealth. , and you still dare to cause trouble, huh."

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly what he is." Jia Cong was busy flattering.

Emperor Xifeng smiled lightly and said: "You have made great achievements in this trip. How can I not reward you? After all, I will reward you for whatever you want."

Jia Cong had already expected it, because Pang Chao had already told him that if he asked what he wanted, he must not not ask for it, nor should he ask for it unreasonably. It must be in line with his own situation and identity.

Because he said: "I have repeatedly received blessings from the Holy God, and I am in a high position before I can reach the weak crown. I really don't dare to ask for anything more. But Your Majesty's golden mouth has already opened my mouth. How can I dare to refuse? There is really something I need your Majesty's permission to do."

"What's the matter?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "I am now a grown man, and I have always been in love with Baochai, the daughter of the eldest daughter of the Xue family of the Imperial Shang Dynasty. I would like to ask your Majesty to give her as my wife."

In addition, Mr. Lin loves a girl named Daiyu, and Cong is also in love with her. He wants to not bother the two masters, so he begs your majesty to be kind and grant her an equal wife. "

Everyone laughed, and Lin Ruhai also shook his head and laughed. This kid is not polite.

Emperor Xifeng also smiled. He had never seen someone asking for marriage, but he wanted two girls at once, so it was his first time. He looked at Lin Ruhai and said with a smile: "Lin Aiqing, you are Jia Cong's uncle. This This is your family matter, what do you think?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and bowed and said: "I was seriously ill a few years ago and I couldn't bear to think about it, so I left my little girl with him. Unexpectedly, brother Cong later found a miracle doctor and brought me back to life.

Since he has this intention, I will agree to it and please your majesty to fulfill it. "

Emperor Xifeng smiled and said: "Okay, this is a happy event, I will take it upon myself to be happy. I will go back and wait for your will."

"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your grace." Jia Cong bowed and stepped back. He couldn't help but gear up. He could finally push Sister Bao and Qi'er, hehehehe.

Jia Cong came out and asked the young eunuch to find a side hall to stay. After Huo Peng and others left after discussing the matter, he invited Emperor Xifeng again.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Xifeng asked when he saw him leaving and returning.

Jia Cong said: "There is one more thing that I can't report because there are so many people here, so I came back to perform a solo for Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Emperor Xifeng said calmly.

Jia Cong took out a stack of case files from his arms, presented them with both hands, and said: "This time the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River are causing trouble, I ordered the Jin Yiwei to investigate in many places, and finally found the Fei family in Huai'an..."

"Fei family?" Emperor Xifeng's expression condensed and he stared at Jia Cong like a knife, as if to see through his deep meaning.

"Yes, the Fei family in Huai'an. Because the matter involves the eldest prince's mother's family, I dare not be expert in it, and I dare not reveal even half of it. I have ordered the Jiangnan Jinyi Guards to send the witnesses and material evidence related to the case to the capital for your Majesty's detailed questioning. Please give me your Majesty's instructions." Jia Cong finished calmly.

Emperor Xifeng's expression softened a lot and he said: "I am very pleased that you have handled this matter thoroughly. Dai Quan, please take over the investigation of this matter."

"My servant obeys the order." Dai Quan bowed hurriedly and said.

"I excuse myself," Jia Cong said.

"Go." Emperor Xifeng waved his hands and felt a little tired. The Fei family in Huai'an is a stupid and daring dog! (End of chapter)
