Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

The next day, Jia Cong first went to the Yamen to look for Wang Ziteng and asked Dai Quan about selling his official position.

Wang Ziteng smiled bitterly and said: "Just when I was about to report to the Duke that you were going south for a few months, Prime Minister Dai Nei frequently wrote posts recommending talents in the army.

Although they are all small officials such as General Commander, Qian Commander, and Dusi, if the backbone is not strong, how can the army be strong? If you don't do it, I might hurt your relationship with the Prime Minister, so I have to do it reluctantly. "

Jia Cong asked: "How many people did he recommend?"

"A dozen or so before and after."

"Well, let's give him face first, install these people, let them work for three to five months, and then find some fault and remove them." Jia Cong said.

"The Duke is right. It's cheap to have two good looks, and he's decent on the inside, too, and the military affairs won't be too affected," Wang Ziteng said.

"In the future, personnel appointments will be reported to me, but anyone who intercedes or greets me will be blamed on me." Jia Cong said.

"Yes. I understand."

"You're busy, I'm going to the palace to meet with the minister, and it's not an option to keep doing this."

Jia Cong said goodbye to the prince and walked straight to the palace. He looked for Dai Quan outside Yangxin Hall and pulled him to the side hall to talk.

"Brother, why do you have time to come in and see me today?" Dai Quan said with a smile.

Jia Cong said: "I have something to discuss with the manager."

"What's the matter?" Dai Quan asked hurriedly when he saw that his expression was wrong.

Jia Cong told the story about Prince Beijing's Mansion and said: "Inner Minister, according to my opinion, the four princes have united together, and now they are seizing some leverage on the inner minister and using it to threaten me. I am afraid that he wants to He has taken over the military power." With a simple word, he first led the trouble to Dai Quan.

Dai Quan was shocked. Unexpectedly, just a few days after he took over the power, King Beijing came to his door and sneered: "The King of Beijing and others are too lenient. Is it their turn to interfere in your brother's affairs?"

However, the four empty-headed princes still dare to interfere in our affairs. If our family does not treat each other politely, it will be looked down upon. "

Jia Cong said: "What the manager said is true, but now that you have been targeted, you must be more cautious in the future. If others ask you to come to the door, if you are not a close friend, push them if you can, so as not to be taken advantage of. If they are in front of the emperor, Taking part in this book is not good for you or my brother."

Dai Quan nodded slowly and said, "Brother, I remember what you said. The factory and guard families should not be too close to each other on the surface, for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Lord."

Jia Cong said: "Yesterday I met an actor named Jiang Yuhan at the Prince's Palace in Beijing. Has the manager heard of it?"

Dai Quan smiled slightly and said: "This was given to Zhongshun by the Supreme Emperor. After the fall of Zhongshun's palace, he was redeemed by King Beijing. He is just a rabbit sannyasi. I am also interested?"

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "General manager, don't try to trick me. This person is very familiar with my brother Baoyu. I have sent people to check his background. He is from Dongchang. Now that the manager is the admiral of Dongchang, doesn't he know that his subordinates Is there such a number one person?”

Dai Quan smiled awkwardly and said, "My brother's ears and eyes are really good. We vaguely remember that there is such a person in our family. But what's wrong?"

Jia Cong laughed softly and said: "The manager is so powerful that he even has people around King Beijing. Cong thought that since King Beijing wants to deal with you and me, why don't we take advantage of him first and seize his handle in the future? It would also save you some trouble."

Dai Quan nodded and said, "Brother, do you have any ideas?"

"I have a few clues about the crimes committed in the Prince's Palace in Beijing. The manager can instruct Jiang Yuhan to investigate carefully in the Prince's Palace and we should find something."

Jia Cong took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Dai Quan.

This was also what he and Pang Chao had discussed. If Jiang Yuhan really betrayed Dongchang, it would be best not to let Dai Quan know about it. He could just cheat and control Jiang Yuhan in the future.

After Dai Quan issued the order, if Jiang Yuhan had not betrayed, he would naturally verify and report everything.

If he betrays, King Beijing will know that Dongchang is investigating him, and the relevant clues and characters will immediately change accordingly, or be lost, hidden, or tampered with.

All in all, Dongchang will not be allowed to grasp the evidence, and in this way, Jia Cong can immediately determine Jiang Yuhan's true identity.

Dai Quan didn't know what the plan was, so he held up his hands and said, "Brother, I'm sorry for taking the trouble. I'll arrange for someone to do it right now."

"You're welcome, manager. You and I are brothers. King Beijing will deal with you just like he deals with me."

"Okay, then our brothers will have a fight with the four princes." Dai Quan said with high spirits.

"My little brother, I will stay with you until the end." Jia Cong said with a smile.

Farewell to Dai Quan, Jia Cong walked out of the inner right door and headed towards the military aircraft.

"Masters, Duke Dingguo is here." Menzi announced.

Seeing Jia Cong coming in, all the military planes stood up to greet him.

"I have met all the Prime Ministers." Jia Cong smiled and made a four-way bow.

"Ding Guo Gong is polite." Everyone smiled in return.

Jia Cong smiled and exchanged greetings with everyone. He looked at Guan Pu behind the outer table, cupped his hands and said, "I just came back from Jiangnan, and I haven't even had time to congratulate Duke Ping Yan on his entry into the cabinet."

Guan Pu relied on his help to return to the court, so he naturally got close to him and said with a smile: "You are so polite, Mr. Guo. We are all doing errands for the court. It is the same everywhere."

Jia Cong smiled and exchanged greetings with him, then walked to Huo Peng and said in a low voice: "Xiang Huo, there is some trouble in clearing the deficit. They are all well-known people in the capital, so it's not easy to do anything about it.

Are you going to come up with a charter, whether it's nailing nails on a stone slab or washing your face with rice soup, so that we can follow the charter. "

Huo Peng pondered for a moment, but did not dare to express his position easily, and said: "Don't be impatient, Duke. I will discuss it with Duke Zhun later and tell the emperor his will. How about it?"

"Okay, Cong, please wait for Mr. Huo's instructions." Jia Cong smiled and nodded, then walked to Duan Zhun's side and whispered: "Mr. Zhun, do you have time to meet me?"

Duan Zhun's eyes flashed, he glanced at Jia Cong, and said with a smile: "Even if you don't have free time, you will naturally have it when the Duke comes, please."

With that said, the two of them went to the small courtyard next to where the military ministers and ministers received their guests.

The clerk served tea and left.

Duan Zhun took a sip from the carmine-red enamel teacup with flower and bird patterns, and said with a smile: "The Duke has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."

Jia Cong was a little embarrassed and said, "I do have something to ask for."

"Oh? It must be no small matter for you to beg for help publicly." Duan Zhun said with a smile.

Jia Cong said in a panic: "Just because of the Zhen family's case... Mr. Quan also knows that our family has some friendship with the Zhen family. The third girl of the Zhen family and I..."

"But that girl from the Zhen family who 'hates the water in life'?" Duan Zhun joked.

"The boss also knows?" Jia Cong was "surprised."

"Zilong's wonderful words are famous all over the world. No matter how ignorant I am, I have been admiring him for a long time."

Duan Zhun chuckled, then stopped his smile and said: "But the case of the Zhen family is too big. If you want to escape unscathed, it is absolutely impossible. I am sorry that I am helpless."

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "No, the men of the Zhen family deserve to die. Death is not a pity. How dare Cong plead for them? He just wants to save their family members."

In addition, Baoyu, the young master of the Zhen family, has never committed any crime, but he is just a handsome young man with no position or title. If he can be pardoned and leave a trace of blood in the Zhen family, Cong will have fulfilled his friendship with the world. "

Duan Zhun pondered for a moment, glanced at him, and said: "It's okay, who taught me that once I see Zilong, I will try my best in front of the emperor."

Jia Cong was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your kindness. Regardless of success or failure, Cong is deeply grateful." Duan Zhun twisted his beard and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Zilong is not only a son-in-law who rides on a dragon like a sea, but also promotes the new law." It has been a great help, and I am not an unkind person, so I should reciprocate the favor. I hope Zilong will continue to serve the imperial court side by side with us. "

"Cong, please follow the boss' orders." Jia Cong said hurriedly, saying a few good words first, and it would be more serious to fish out Zhen Yuan.

Duan Zhun smiled slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
-
Jia Cong left the palace and first went to the Jinyiwei Yamen to give Wang Fei a detailed explanation of the errand of monitoring the Prince's Mansion in Beijing. He was about to go home for lunch when he suddenly remembered that he had not seen Yang Siniang for a long time.

After changing into casual clothes, Qingche Jian followed to a small alley next to Liulichang in the outer city and found the innermost house.

Du Dapeng knocked the code with the door knocker, and the door opened. A capable man looked at Jia Cong and his party, and then spoke the secret code before letting them in.

Jia Cong was also the first to come back. Seeing that Yang Siniang had done a good job keeping the secret, he smiled slightly.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Yang Siniang heard the news and ran out to meet him, with a look of surprise on her face and said, "Why are you here?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Let's see you."

Yang Siniang was ashamed and happy at the same time. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go in and talk."

Jia Cong waved his hand, ordered his soldiers to stay outside, and entered the inner room with her.

Bang, Jia Cong couldn't wait to bolt the door with his backhand.

"What are you doing? The girl will come to serve tea later." Yang Siniang blushed and spat.

"How can I have tea while you're here?" Jia Cong gave her a bad smile, put his hand in his arms and loved her tenderly, relieving the pain of lovesickness.

For a long time, Yang Siniang gasped and pushed him away, saying angrily: "What are you doing in broad daylight? How can I meet people if they see me? I'm not ashamed. Let's talk about serious things."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Isn't this serious business? You can at least give me some pain."

Yang Siniang spat: "The many good people in your family don't care enough for you, so they come to bully me, a dutiful daughter."

Jia Cong said aggrievedly: "Don't I miss you?"

"Bah, I think you miss someone else's body."

"It would be terrible if I didn't want your body."

"why?"

"Because there are only two possibilities, either I love Lord Rabbit, or your body is not attractive enough. Which one do you choose?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

"Poor talk!" Yang Siniang sneered.

"Good lady, come here quickly and let me hug you."

Yang Siniang rolled her eyes at him, still blushing and fell into his arms, saying: "You came to find me, don't you have nothing to say?"

Jia Cong now had some experience and said hurriedly: "Why are you speechless? I'm full of words." He hugged her and said a lot of sweet words, and then gradually turned the topic to business matters.

Yang Siniang said: "Now the information network in various places is almost complete. I have summarized all the important information and submitted it to Mr. Pang in time."

"Well, I know, I heard it from Mr. Pang."

"Also... we also sent two groups of good soldiers to serve under Liu Qianhu."

"Anymore?"

"And...can you please stop moving." Yang Siniang said shyly, holding down Jia Cong's mischievous hand.

"Good lady, please be merciful, I miss you so much."

Yang Siniang was so heartbroken by his soft pleading that she unconsciously let go of her hand, hooked her arm around his neck, and said angrily: "You have made people miserable, but you go home and are happy, what will they do?"

Jia Cong burst out laughing and said: "Good lady, I didn't say I was unwilling to serve. I can recruit you for my husband, I can fight when I come, I will be at your command 24 hours a day and 24 hours a day."

"Bah, I'm still wearing my filial piety, so I won't mess around with you." Yang Siniang lightly hit him with her pink fist.

"How about we remain as stubborn as before?" Jia Cong hurriedly encouraged his eloquent tongue.

"No, I haven't taken a shower today." Yang Siniang shook her head shyly, unwilling to have sex with him.

"Then what should I do if I feel uncomfortable? Are you going to die without saving me?" Jia Cong muttered.

Seeing his angry look, Yang Siniang sneered and spat: "Why do you have so many beauties in your family looking for trouble for me?"

"They don't have your valiant appearance." Jia Cong saw that there seemed to be something interesting and said hurriedly.

"I don't believe you are so glib." Yang Siniang laughed.

"Good lady, please... please?" Jia Cong begged in her ear.

"Dirty bitch!" Yang Siniang spat at him. She couldn't stand his begging, so she had to knelt down to serve him.

As soon as he untied his belt, he heard the girl at the door say: "Siniang, this is an urgent message from Master Bai."

Yang Siniang hurriedly jumped up, grabbed the door latch and said, "What's the matter?"

"They said they are holding the White Lotus Dharma Conference outside the city today. Some elders seem to be rebellious. Master Bai is afraid that the situation will get out of control. Please take people there quickly, just in case."

"Go and call someone, I'll be right back."

"Yes."

Jia Cong saw Yang Siniang hurriedly put on her clothes and was about to go out. He smiled bitterly and said, "Siniang, what should I do?"

When Yang Siniang saw that his belt was disheveled and his waist was stretched to the sky, she couldn't help but sneered: "If you haven't put on your pants yet, if you can wait, I will serve you when I come back. If you can't wait, I will go home to find my wife."

Jia Cong had no choice but to stand up and simply took off his robe and trousers.

"What are you doing?" Yang Siniang stamped her feet and said angrily, thinking that he was going to "abolished public service for personal reasons."

Jia Cong said: "Of course I'm going with you, please find another set of clothes for me to change into."

Yang Siniang frowned and said: "No, you have a body of ten thousand gold. I dare not take you to those places. What if something happens?"

Jia Cong walked over and slapped her hard on her toned buttocks, and muttered: "What kind of amazing dragon's pond and tiger's den?
I am trying to retrieve the enemy general's head in the midst of thousands of troops, just like picking out an object from a bag, how can I still be injured by such a small scene like yours? joke! "

Yang Siniang covered her buttocks and said angrily: "It's okay to know that I am powerful, but now that you have a high status, how can you go into danger? If the princesses and others find out, will I still be alive?"

"Just don't tell them, okay?" Jia Cong said with a smile, "Hurry up, your troops are quick, what will your mother-in-law do?"

Yang Siniang couldn't resist him, so she had to let him go.

After a while, a group of people filed out of the house, quickly left the city, changed to fast horses at the stronghold on the outskirts of the city, and galloped away along the official road. (End of chapter)
