Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Jia Cong smiled slightly and said: "The Xue family's case is not big or small. It only depends on how many people in the court stand up and speak.

To be honest, today I have persuaded the new party, the old party and the moderate faction in the court. The Prime Minister Dai also likes me and promised to help me with all his strength. The factory guards are domineering and have offended many people over the years. . "

"I invite you uncles and uncles to come here today, just to add icing on the cake and not cause any trouble to you. Even if the case changes and the law does not hold everyone accountable, the factory guards can't just catch all the high officials and nobles in the court?"

Everyone laughed, it was natural. If it's true what Brother Cong said, then it wouldn't be much of a problem if I just said a few words.

However, since my family has no relatives or connections with the Xue family, my relationship cannot be in vain.

Jia Cong continued: "As the saying goes, there are people who do the beheading business, but no one does the business of losing money. Since I ask you to come forward to guarantee me, you will not just talk in vain. For the business of the Xue Family's Fairy Wine House, half of the business will be done with Everyone, how are you?"

Hearing the words "Shenxian Winery", everyone's ears were warmed up, this is a golden mountain!

Liu Fang couldn't help but said: "Brother Zilong, I wonder how much this half percent is?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's about 30,000 silver in profit, every month."

Everyone couldn't help but swallowed secretly. If there were more than a dozen families present, if they were divided equally, one family would get two thousand, and that would be every month.

This amount of money is absolutely astronomical to these people.

In the past few years, Jia Cong had only distributed a thousand boxes of wine business per month to the princes, historians, and Wang families of various countries. He could earn thousands of silver, which made each family extremely grateful, let alone throwing out such a big cake now. .

"Of course, whether you can take this business depends on whether your appetite is big enough."

"Don't worry Zilong, I'm going to do it even if I'm selling iron." Everyone said hurriedly.

Everyone planned to go back one by one and sell some useless antiques, gold and jade utensils, and farm real estate to raise funds.

"The ugly talk is ahead. To ensure that everyone really contributes, when will Xue Pan be released from the prison and when will the deal be completed?" Jia Cong was also afraid that someone would fish in the water.

"It's natural. We are all brothers. How can we not do our best?" Everyone hurriedly patted their chests.

"Brother, how will this thirty thousand business be distributed?" Hou Xiaokang pondered for a moment and then said.

He was born in the Duke's palace, so the weight of his wealth was naturally different from that of Hou Bo's palace, and he was not willing to share it equally with others.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. The distribution of benefits is the key issue.

Jia Cong had already thought about it and said: "There are six duke's mansions, four marquis' mansions, and four uncle's mansions here. To ensure fairness, Cong thought that of the half of the business, the duke's mansion accounted for 60% and the marquis' mansion accounted for two. Half of it, and the uncle's house accounts for 15%, what do you think?"

Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Hou Xiaokang and other heads of the Duke's Mansion thought about it briefly and said with a smile: "Zilong's suggestion is very good. We have no objection."

Only a fool would object to an extra three thousand silver a month.

Jiang Zining, Qi Jianhui, Xie Jing, Qiu Liang and other heirs to the Hou Mansion thought about it. Although it was less than the Duke's Mansion, there were also fewer people to share the accounts. It was almost two thousand silver a month, which was reasonable.

Yin smiled and said: "Zilong is very fair, and we are sincerely convinced."

The remaining uncles Han Yi, Feng Tang and others saw the general trend and naturally had no objections.

Everyone was very happy.

"Then I'll rely on all the great uncles and uncles."

Jia Cong's move was not that of a gift boy, but just to pull these nobles onto his chariot for future use.

After seeing everyone off, Jia Cong hurried to the inner study, where Sun Chi and the others were still waiting.

"You're finally here. My second brother and I are just helping you connect. We don't care about other things. You can talk to the emperor's uncle."

Sun Chi had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When he saw Jia Cong coming in, he got up and left.

He and Jia Cong fought side by side several times. It was a life-long friendship, and they were not polite and courteous.

Sun Can smiled warmly and said, "Brother Cong, let's leave first. Let's meet up another day when we have time." As he passed by, he winked at Jia Cong.

"I'll send it to your two highnesses." Jia Cong understood and hurriedly sent it out.

"There is no need to give it away. You and I are not outsiders. The emperor's uncle has been Zuo Zongzheng for many years and has many connections in the clan. If he can win it, it will be of great benefit to this case." Sun Can said in a low voice.

"Thank you, second brother, for the advice." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said.

"Okay, let's go back."

Jia Cong sent the two of them to Yimen and then returned. He saw Prince Zhongxin looking at the furnishings in the inner study in his spare time.

"Tsk tsk, what a four-legged cauldron with Taotie pattern, what a gilt cloud-bat pattern with two dragons playing with beads and a bowl-shaped furnace with a ring! Hey, this blue and white Eight Immortals celebrating their birthdays with Chi's ears seems to be an ancient relic from the previous dynasty. This furnace jun The glazed Ganoderma lucidum nine-like flower arrangement is very unique.

Ouch, the pastel gourd vase with hundreds of flowers, perfect, priceless, priceless. Brother Cong, you have indeed made a fortune. "

Prince Zhongxin praised him repeatedly, looking at Jia Cong like a golden doll.

Jia Cong didn't know his virtues, so he smiled and said: "This humble house is simple and simple. The prince has praised it too much. If there are a few things that can be appreciated, please accept it with a smile and show my respect to Cong."

"Ah hahaha, Brother Cong, you are too polite. I come to your house to eat and take food. Why am I so embarrassed?"

Prince Zhongxin patted his big belly with his stubby and fat palm, then changed the topic and said: "However, it would be rude for me not to accept your sincerity.

That's it, I still need an incense burner at home, so I'll just get any burner. Hey, look, this stove is somewhat similar to my belly. It’s also fate. "

Jia Cong looked at where he was pointing and cursed in his heart, Fatty, I picked the most valuable thing away, so you're not polite at all.

This gilt ring-shaped bowl-shaped stove with double dragons playing with bats and clouds is a gift from Baochai and is worth at least 50,000 silver. "Being favored by the prince is also a blessing of this stove." Jia Cong said with a smile.

Prince Zhongxin smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits, and he said: "Let's stop talking and talk about business. The Gongjin case is extraordinary. Prince Zong Zhengshun has always been at odds with your family.

I heard that the factory guards had found him and asked him to persuade many clans to kill the Xue family for the crime of disrespect, and then involve the Ningrong and Ning Rong families. You and I, brothers, hit it off like old friends. As soon as I heard the news, I rushed over to report the news, which may be as simple as possible. "

"Your Majesty's righteousness is so great that I sincerely appreciate it. It's just that Cong is young and has little virtue and limited knowledge, so I would like to ask Your Majesty for advice." Jia Cong said.

Prince Zhongxin nodded and said: "If it were an ordinary case, our clan would not be able to say anything, but this case involves the Supreme Emperor, so the brothers in our clan can do anything."

Jia Cong said: "I would like to hear the details."

"Here's my guarantor. As long as there are enough people talking, the Emperor or His Majesty won't be able to go against the public opinion and impose harsh sentences, right?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"It's just that Prince Zhongshun has been in charge of Dazongzheng for decades, and he has always been highly respected and in charge of the big guys. If he says something, how dare the princes, auxiliary princes, and town princes in the clan not listen?

It is difficult to ask them to speak for the Xue family in turn. " Prince Zhongxin said while looking at Jia Cong's expression lewdly.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "If you consider me a friend, you might as well tell me how much money you need."

"Hey, it's vulgar! You are still a world-famous genius, why are you so vulgar? The brotherhood between you and me is stronger than gold, and our righteousness is deeper than the sea. Talking about yellow and white things, isn't this tarnishing the friendship between you and me? It's vulgar. Already." Prince Zhongxin waved his hands hurriedly and said seriously.

Jia Cong was stunned, has this fat man changed his gender?

"What does the prince mean?"

"We're not talking about money, we're talking about fate." Prince Zhongxin smiled, his eyes shining with gold.

Damn fat man, after all that, it’s not about asking for money.

Jia Cong was speechless and said, "I wonder if I'm destined for you, little brother?"

"The benefactor is quite destined." Prince Zhongxin smiled slightly and said, "How about this, brother, I will try my best to offend Prince Zhongshun, try to win people over, and try my best to get people in the clan to side with me."

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but if the people in the clan are not of good character, they may not be able to speak."

"It's natural. The male should serve as a auxiliary to the Duke or above, and the female should serve as the Princess or above. How about that?"

Well, they are all super-grade titles, which makes Jia Cong nod and say: "What the prince said is absolutely true, but it's fate... Please enlighten me."

The Prince of Zhongxin County pondered for a moment and said: "Since ancient times, passion has harmed young people, and we have formed a long-term relationship in two decades."

Damn it, here we go again!

Two hundred thousand for a family, ten million for a family of fifty. This damn fat man is too greedy. He doesn’t know how many kickbacks he will take.

"There are so many members of the clan, twenty thousand for a family is not bad." Jia Cong's face suddenly darkened.

"Both the rich and the poor are pitiful, and the fate will not be resolved on the fifteenth day of the bright moon." Seeing Jia Cong directly cut off 90% of his profits, King Zhongxin knew that the asking price was too high, so he hurriedly gave in.

"There is no cornucopia at home. Thirty thousand silver is worth the trouble." Jia Cong shook his head. This damn fat man was probably treating himself as a cash cow.

"It's not necessary to have a long-lasting wish for trouble. One hundred thousand heroes are also fate." Prince Zhongxin gritted his teeth and said, this bastard Jia Cong is too stingy.

"It's not as easy as giving charcoal to add flowers. Forty thousand dollars can make everyone happy." Jia Cong frowned. Most of the clan members were poor, and forty thousand dollars would be enough for them to last for several years.

"Women can only see each other at night. Without the Eight Immortals, there is no chance." King Zhongxin reluctantly gave in one more step, as 80,000 silver was not much left.

"For the sake of our brotherhood, we can see the light with one hand." Jia Cong sighed.

"This... the love is deep and the relationship is shallow, why not build some more relationships?" Prince Zhongxin said sincerely.

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "This is the end of the fate, and there is nothing Cong can do."

Damn it, Prince Zhongxin calculated in silence for a moment, Prince Zhongshun would never pay for it, so he spent some money first to win over people, and he thought he could make more than half of it, well, he was the one to do it.

Because he sighed and said: "Forget it, what difference do you and I have between brothers? Even if the elder brother supplements more, he still has to help the younger brother. Just wait and listen."

Damn fat man, do you think I am a three-year-old child?

"Wait a minute, let's make a deal first, and we will have a fate after things are done, so as not to make others cheat and fish in troubled waters." Jia Cong said.

Prince Zhongxin was stunned. He didn't expect Jia Cong to be so smart. He could only nod and said: "That's natural. The people I call brother are all heroes who value love and justice. How can they just get married and not do anything."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Your Majesty is not afraid of offending Prince Zhongshun."

Prince Zhongxin smiled disdainfully: "We all have the prefix Zhong, so I'm afraid that they are stupid. I only know how to share your worries and solve problems for Your Majesty, what do other people have to do with me?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"That's right, hahaha."

Prince Zhongxin did not forget to take the incense burner with him before he left.

Jia Cong sent Prince Zhongxin out of the gate, turned around, and cursed in his heart, damn, he was tricked by a fat man again.

He thought that he had been tricked three times by Fatty. The first time was by Xu Qing, the censor of Yangzhou Salt Academy, the second time by Fatty Feng, and the third time by Prince Zhongxin.

Jia Cong secretly made up his mind not to deal with these fat guys in the future.

After a busy day, Jia Cong felt a little tired despite his physical strength, mainly mentally. Suddenly he thought that he would have to go to the bridal chamber tonight. Jia Cong just wanted to say three words, please let me go.

Suddenly I remembered that the Xue family had suffered a big change. I didn't know how Sister Bao was doing, so I hurriedly went into the garden. (End of chapter)
