Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

After Jia Cong left the palace, he first went to the Jinyiwei Yamen to convey the holy will. Everyone was naturally overjoyed when they heard that it was all about confiscation of the house.

"The Holy Emperor has given seven days to complete the case. What should we do with those who have not yet confessed? They are all princes and ministers. It is not easy for people to think that we have surrendered." Jia Cong said.

Wen Zhen bowed and said, "Sir, as long as the witnesses and material evidence are complete, the case will be handled the same whether he recruits or not."

"Well, punishing thousands of households..."

"The humble duty is here." Zhou Wei and Tang Zhan hurriedly left their duties and bowed in agreement.

"Implement the evidence as soon as possible and let them rebel and plead guilty and face the law."

"I have received my order, and it will be completed within three days. Please rest assured, Lord Admiral." The two said in unison.

"Let's all go about our work. Kill those who deserve to be killed, and copy those who deserve to be copied. This is a big job. Everyone should work harder, so that we can live up to the divine grace.

However, let me talk about it first. The emperor is close to the army, military discipline is as iron as iron, and family laws are ruthless. Whoever dares to take the opportunity to take advantage of others, no matter how big or small the official position, will be served by family laws. "

Jia Cong's eyes glanced lightly, and no one dared to look at him, so they all bowed and agreed.

"Cunzhou goes on your own, I'm not an outsider." Feng Yuan said with a smile, as if he didn't regard himself as an outsider.

Feng Yuan hurriedly smiled and said: "My brother-in-law has a very smart mind, can eat, drink and sleep, has a broad heart and a fat body, and is loyal.

Prime Minister Dai Nei told me last time and asked me if I wanted to give the clan's children the title of Dragon Guard. He said that Fatty Feng, the governor of Yongxing, was also donating to his children, but he didn't expect it to be his younger brother Feng Yi. . "

But Yongxing Prefecture has poor mountains and rivers, Han and barbarians live together, the land is barren, and the barbarian mountain people often cause chaos, which is really a headache.

Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said, "How about going to Liaodong to serve as a garrison?"

Jia Cong smiled and greeted the two of them, and said, "Brother Zhengfang, I'm sorry, but you know there are a lot of errands to do these two days."

"Feng Yi?" Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, don't blame me. I'm not very familiar with military personnel."

Because of Concubine Yuan's request and Xia Jingui's incident, I thought of going to the West Mansion first. As soon as I arrived in front of the "Yuci Dingguo Mansion", I heard Wangcai snatch it out and report.

Jia Cong glanced at Feng Yuan, raised his chin slightly, and signaled him to speak directly.

Then the two of them went to the inner study room, and the girl got some tea and left.

"Brother Cong is back."

"Now my brother is responsible for one area, one area, and all the power. Isn't that good? Why should I be transferred?" Jia Cong said.

Feng Yuan thought about it, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Old Feng has learned from Zilong's golden words. Just follow Zilong's arrangements, and my brother-in-law will be sent as he pleases, without any hesitation."

After pushing Jia Zheng aside, Jia Cong lifted up his robe and sat down, smiling and saying, "Brother Zhengfang always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason. What are your orders today?"

"That's fine." Jia Cong laughed dumbly, making it mysterious, how big a deal you can do.

"That's it. I have a brother named Ming Yi who is currently the governor of Yongxing. Can you please do me a favor and move him around?" Feng Yuandao said.

"Don't dare, don't dare," Feng Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, looked around furtively, and said, "Let's go to the study and talk."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "What are your strengths and where do you want to go?"

"Lingsu, I'm talking to Brother Feng, and no one is allowed to come near." Jia Cong ordered.

Feng Yuan hurriedly said: "That's what people call Fatty Feng."

Although there are many vacancies in Beijing now, there are more meritorious people this time. These people are not evenly divided, let alone others?
Moreover, the capital camp is a place that attracts everyone's attention. If I don't have extraordinary talents, I will inevitably feel like sitting on pins and needles. What's the fun of being an idle errand in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army? "

"This is a humble position." Wen Zhen and Fang Ji said with cupped hands.

"Brother Zilong, Lao Feng has been waiting for you for a long time." Feng Yuan said with a smile and cupped his hands.

Jia Cong laughed, the old Feng family genes were indeed the same, and said: "I remembered.

Then he said to Jia Zheng: "I just went to the palace to visit my eldest sister. She asked me to tell the old lady a few words. Please go and say it first."

Jia Cong was stunned, wondering what Fatty Feng was up to, so he had to dismount and go into the mansion for a while.

Feng Yuan whispered: "My brother is now in charge of the military power, and Yuan has something to entrust."

Quickly entering Shenshi Hall, Jia Zheng and Feng Yuan hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Okay, I'll go right away. Mr. Feng, I'm sorry to excuse you."

My brother-in-law often wrote letters complaining that he had changed his nickname to Feng Zhugan. "

Feng Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, it would be great if you could be the governor of a good place.

"In addition, there are many court officials involved in the case this time. In order to prevent political instability, the list of guilty officials was sent to the Military Aircraft Department and six departments, and they were asked to consider filling the vacancies in a timely manner." Jia Cong said.

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Brother Zhengfang, you and I are not lying to each other. It may not be a good thing if your brother is transferred to the capital.

"My lord, the Minister of Household Affairs, Mr. Feng, has been waiting for me in the mansion for a long time. I said that my lord has gone to the government office. Mr. Feng said it's okay. He just sits and waits for me to come back. Now the second master is accompanying me."

"Go ahead. According to the rules, keep 10% of the proceeds from ransacking the house. No increase or decrease is allowed."

It would be great if I could serve as a general in Beijing. If not, it would be a great honor to go to a good place. "

"But it doesn't matter."

Cheng Lingsu agreed and personally stood guard outside the door.

"I humble my duty and obey my orders!" Everyone was filled with joy as they were waiting for these words.

Jia Cong sent everyone away. Seeing that the sun was setting to the west, he didn't bother to sit in the office. He casually explained a few words to Lei Tai and Fan Ming, and then went back home. There were still things waiting at home.

"Just laugh." Feng Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile.

Feng Yuan slightly hesitated and said: "Liaodong... is a bitter and cold place. I'm afraid my brother won't be able to bear it."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Feng is too worried. I have guarded Liaodong for several years, don't you know the details?
If you go into exile, it will be difficult. What should your brother be afraid of if he becomes an official? Moreover, Yang Xiong, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, comes from my family and will naturally take care of your younger brother.

What's more, I have been operating there for several years and have some connections and businesses. Are you still afraid of suffering a loss if I go there? "

Feng Yuanxi said: "It's so good, I leave it all to Zilong. I don't know where to guard?"

"Well, guard the Jinzhou Guard." Jia Cong said slowly, having already sketched a map of Liaodong in his mind.

"Jinzhou Guard, where are you?"

"The seaside is right between Tianjinwei and Gaoli, facing each other across the sea." Jia Cong said.

Feng Yuan nodded and said: "Zilong will take care of the arrangement. Old Feng accepts your personal favor. From now on, my brother's life and future will be decided by Zilong without any second thoughts."

Jia Cong smiled. He arranged for Feng Yi to go to Jinzhou Guard. He had his own considerations. The future belonged to the sea, and it was naturally good to occupy a port base first.

As far as he knew, Jinzhouwei had at least two places where it could build excellent ports, Dalian Bay and Lushunkou. To the east, it was eyeing Korea, and to the west, it was approaching Shenjing. This would be a battleground for military strategists in the future.

"Brother Zhengfang is so polite. I just have something to ask for," Jia Cong said with a smile.

This kid never suffers any loss. Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Zilong just says it doesn't matter, he will go through fire and water, no matter what."

"Cong thinks that my brother has been working hard in the household department for a long time and has deep roots. He is also a close friend with Mr. Yan, the leader of the department. I have something that I would like to ask my brother to make the decision on." Jia Cong considered his words and set him up first.

Feng Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Speak directly if you have anything to say, why are Zilong so polite to me?"

"Yes, my brother-in-law Xue Pan, whose ancestor was originally the 'Ziwei Sheren', has some credit for suppressing the rebellion this time. Can he take advantage of the situation and reinstate him?"

Feng Yuan was shocked when he heard about the four people of 'Zi Wei She Ren'. This boy really had a big appetite. He asked him to do a small favor, but he turned around and offered a sky-high price.

Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, it's not that I'm trying to shirk. It's easy to talk about other things, even if he wants to be awarded a plaque for righteousness by the Holy Spirit.

Although this 'Ziwei Sheren' position is not high, it must come from the Holy One's confidants. How can we, the ministers, make the decision? "

Jia Cong frowned slightly and said, "Is there really no room for maneuver? If so, Cong will not make it difficult for the eldest brother."

Feng Yuan turned his thief eyes around and said with a smile: "Of course, if the imperial businessman next to me wants to get this honor, there is no way.

If it is your brother-in-law, it is not impossible to discuss this matter. Firstly, Mr. Xue has some affection in the Tian family, secondly, because of your brother's golden face, and thirdly, because of the dignity of Princess Ruyi, this matter There is some leeway. "Jia Cong laughed. Based on his understanding of Feng Yuan, if this fat guy dares to take the job, it means that he has a good chance of winning. Otherwise, his efforts will not be in vain and it will only cost money.

Because he said: "Brother Zhengfang, my brother-in-law has done a great job in suppressing the rebellion this time. He provided all the money and food. Please tell me on your behalf, Your Majesty."

Feng Yuan's eyes lit up, his eyebrows raised, and he said, "How much will my brother-in-law contribute?"

"Don't you just rely on Brother Zhengfang's guidance on geometry?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law is really happy. How about this number?" Feng Yuan stretched out two fingers furtively.

"Deal." Jia Cong was generous and didn't bother to bargain. Two million was two million.

After seeing off Feng Yuan, Jia Cong went to Rongqing Hall and quietly told the old lady what Concubine Yuan wanted.

The old lady nodded slowly and said: "I punished my wife that day because I was afraid of offending Marquis Wu. Now that Marquis Wu and his party have failed, there is no need to worry about it, not to mention the dignity of the imperial concubine and the Wang family.

Now that Wang Ziteng is at your disposal, Brother Feng is by your side, and Mrs. Xue's wife is your mother-in-law, it might as well just let her out because it has chilled the hearts of the Wang family. "

Jia Cong said: "The old lady understands the ways of the world, and Cong is not as good as her."

Jia Mu smiled helpfully and said: "You, the matters in the inner house are not about raising troops to fight, just fighting fiercely. I believe that after this time, my wife will know what is good."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if there is an old man in the family, it is like having a treasure. You are the treasure of our family, not that boy Baoyu. Cong can't wait to carry the old lady to the East Mansion and take care of the housework for me."

Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "You monkey, I am so old that I can't be happy and happy? I still have to worry about you?"
Don't worry, not to mention the princess, Bao Yatou and Yu'er are both good, and they are more than enough to take care of the inner house. "

"It's all the old lady who trained me well." Jia Cong said with a smile.

After Jia Mu finished talking to him in the inner room, they came out to talk and laugh with everyone in the hall.

"Yuanyang, go tell your wife that there are a lot of things at home now. Ask her to come out and help take care of it. It is good to worship the Buddha. As long as you are sincere, the Buddha will naturally know it and there is no need to stay in the nunnery all day." Jia Mu said calmly.

"Yes, old lady, I'll go and deliver the message right away." Yuanyang agreed with a smile.

"That's what the old lady said." All the girls laughed, knowing that the madam was finally out of trouble.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "The old lady still understands the Dharma well and has a compassionate heart. She can achieve enlightenment without reciting sutras.

As the saying goes, when a person achieves enlightenment and a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven, don’t forget to support and guide us who have committed serious sins. "

Mother Jia smiled from ear to ear, pointed at Wang Xifeng and said: "You have a sweet mouth, but don't blaspheme the Buddha."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "The old lady is our Lao Buddha. There are other Buddhas, but I don't recognize them."

Everyone laughed and agreed.

Baoyu is indispensable. These days, Mrs. Wang is imprisoned, but he is still free.

Jia Cong looked around and said, "Didn't Brother Huan just come back? Where are the people?"

Tanchun said: "He sent the eldest master and his wives back and went to Zhuangzi to train troops. He said he couldn't embarrass you, third brother."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Well, Brother Huan has become sensible, but you don't know that if Brother Huan hadn't been alert this time, I'm afraid that the master and the ladies might not have been able to come back safely."

The girls were busy asking why.

Jia Cong then told Jia Huan what he did and said, "It shows that our Jia family men are not born useless, they just don't want to make progress." He glanced at Baoyu.

The girls covered their mouths and chuckled, echoed, and looked at Baoyu jokingly.

Baoyu's face turned red and Sansan didn't dare to speak.

Mother Jia rolled her eyes at Jia Cong, changed the subject, and said, "Now that you have multiple jobs, if you don't go about your serious business, we ladies will be so naughty if you go."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Forget it, you just talk with the old lady, and I'll go see Sister Qiao." After that, he glanced at Sister Feng.

"I'll take you there." Sister Feng stood up and said with a smile.

Everyone hurriedly agreed and got up to see each other off.

The two returned to the courtyard where Jia Min lived before he left the court. Now the old lady took the initiative and allocated it to Sister Feng, and teased Sister Qiao for a while.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Qiao will follow me. Her eyes are big, dark and smart. She will be smart in the future."

Sister Feng rolled her eyes at him and sneered: "No matter how easy-looking you are, what's the point? If you meet a heartless person, you won't end up with no one to love or care for you."

Ping'er, Feng'er and others hurriedly lowered their heads and pursed their lips, for fear of laughing out loud.

Jia Cong smiled dryly and said, "What do you mean by Sister Feng? I will make the final decision on Sister Qiao's marriage and ensure that everything goes smoothly for her."

"Humph, you can't even protect her mother, why do you protect her?" Sister Feng's eyes widened, she snatched Sister Qiao away, held her in her arms and coaxed her.

Jia Cong hurried over and hugged the mother and daughter, and said with a smile: "Good sister, why can't I protect you? Who dares to disrespect you in the two houses now? It's more interesting than when I was a sister-in-law. ?”

Wang Xifeng blushed, Miss Feng was naturally more powerful now, she spat at him, then she smiled and said angrily: "You must be good.

By the way, what's going on? It doesn't matter if you don't remember us two. "

Jia Cong smiled and said: "My good sister-in-law is really the best among women, Cong Gan is the best."

Hearing him say the title of his girlfriend, Sister Feng's heart was shaken, and Danfeng's eyes were vaguely covered with mist, and she said: "Why don't you tell me your dirty seed! You can yell whatever you want, and you won't be afraid of people laughing at you."

Jia Cong glanced sideways at Ping'er and others, and said with a smile: "They are all mine, what are you afraid of? Here's the thing, Brother Xue's newly married sister-in-law is named Xia Jingui, do you know?"

Sister Feng sneered when she heard this and said, "Do you still know? This Grandma Xue is so majestic and evil, and she is restless all day long.

My aunt also told me several times, always sighing, or full of regrets, saying that the Xue family had summoned a mourning star, and they had failed their ancestors. "

"Sister, is there any way to surrender?" Jia Cong asked hurriedly.

Although he patted his chest in front of Baochai, he still had to ask "professionals" for advice on how to do it.

After all, the situation is easy to change, and the temperament is hard to change. It is not easy to completely transform a shrew like Xia Jingui into a good wife and mother.

Sister Feng glanced at him and said, "You are not taboo about meat and vegetables. You don't even let Xue Datou's wife go? Do you like your sister-in-law so much?"

Jia Cong shook his head and said with a smile: "I have never met anyone, so how could I have such intention? It's just that Baochai is upset about this matter, so I promised to take care of it for her."

Sister Feng didn't believe him, and sneered: "You're lying to a three-year-old. Although Grandma Pan says she has a stronger temper, she looks like a first-class girl. It's human nature for you, a greedy cat, to be unable to restrain yourself."

Jia Cong muttered: "That's nonsense. No matter how beautiful Xia Jingui is, is she more beautiful than the top four leaders of Shenjing?

In terms of character, talent, and temperament, there is a huge difference. Sister, do you think I am as inexperienced as Jia Lian?

Not even sparing the girls from the second Bao family, as well as the eldest master’s aunts? Hahaha, so funny. "

Although Sister Feng was a little dissatisfied, she had met Lan Wei, Ren Shu and others. Apart from her background, she looked down on Xia Jingui in every aspect and believed Jia Cong's words.

Suddenly I thought of something, and my heart moved, and I was already thinking about it.

Yin smiled and said: "This is quite reasonable. I guess you asked the right person. Do you want to surrender to this kind of people? Although it is more troublesome, it is not impossible. I didn't think about it at the moment.

How about you come over here after dark and I'll tell you in detail? "

You bastard, can't you bear it anymore? Jia Cong smiled secretly in his heart and said: "Don't worry, sister, tonight I will definitely relieve my sister's pain of lovesickness.

Don't make excuses to coax me into losing my dignity with Baochai. "

You are a dirty guy, you are not afraid of being tired when you do bad things. Sister Feng blushed and spat secretly, and chuckled: "Who can coax you! If you don't believe me, don't come."

"Come on, come on, even if you die," Jia Cong said hurriedly.

"You can go ahead now and let me think about it."

"Yes." Jia Cong kissed her hard on the cheek and rushed away happily.

Sister Feng bit her lip and glared at him, let's see how proud you are, dirty seed! Thinking of his plan, he couldn't help but chuckle. (End of chapter)
