Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

"Wait a minute." Jia Cong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hurriedly stopped Ping'er and said, "Sister Feng, have you done such a good thing to accumulate Yin Gong? How disrespectful."

Sister Feng blushed, glared at him, and cursed: "Bah, am I that heinous bad guy who only does immoral things?"

Everyone pursed their lips for fear of laughing and looked at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong chuckled and said without comment: "Although I let you take charge of things, I'm just afraid that you will be bored on weekdays. Now that you are pregnant, you are not allowed to work too much. Let Sister Ping do the work for you. After the child is born, you can take good care of yourself. It's not too late.

If you want to supervise her, it must not exceed an hour a day. Sister Ping'er will supervise her. If there is any violation, I will fire you immediately and let you have children at home in peace. "

Sister Feng spat at him and blushed on her face. Her sister-in-law was pregnant with her brother's child, so she was a little embarrassed after all. Fortunately, she was not Qin Keqing and had a strong heart.

"I'm not a child, don't I know the importance? Okay, you go about your business, I have my own sense of discretion." After saying that, he stood up and left.

Jia Cong looked at her plump, round and swaying peach buttocks, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Remember, one hour! Not even one more moment!"

"I know, it's long-winded." Sister Feng turned around and rolled her eyes at him, but her heart felt a little sweet and soft. It turned out that it felt good to be controlled by a man at all times.

Chu Chan smiled and said: "Now we each take care of our own things, and we need a general manager above us."

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "What my good sister said is that I already have a candidate for the general manager, but... well, let's just leave it like this for now.

Everyone smiled and nodded, Miss Bao is so lucky.
-
In the past few days, Jin Yiwei has been working hard to eliminate clues about the Jia family's violations of law and discipline over the years, and investigate old cases of the old party.

The Northern and Southern Divisions were chasing after each other, fearing that their colleagues would take away the credit. They were all ashamed of Jia Cong, and they all scrambled to be the first. They fought dozens of bloody and secret battles with other spies in Ping'an Prefecture, and finally cleared up the evidence. .

However, the matter of Xuanzhen Temple has been searched and searched to no avail. The whereabouts of the missing persons have never been found. I guess it has nothing to do with Jia Jing. After all, he is only alone and practicing Taoism there. How much can he do? Jia Cong just asked for it.

In the evening of that day, Jia Cong was very happy to get the latest report from Jin Yiwei. He checked it twice. Now even if the Jia family still has some problems, it should be harmless.

"Mr. Pang, do you think there are any problems now?"

Pang Chao read the report, his brows still furrowed, his expression solemn, and he said slowly: "Brother Cong, do you remember what I said to you in Yangzhou? If after returning to Beijing, the old party stands still..."

Jia Cong said solemnly: "There must be a decisive blow."

Pang Chao nodded and said: "It has been more than ten days since you returned to Beijing. Have you noticed any movement in the old party during these days?
Even the Su family was raided by you, and they still acted like nothing happened. Isn't this the biggest danger? Don't take it lightly now. "

Jia Cong said: "What do you mean, sir?"

"Perhaps we have stepped into the enemy's trap and don't know anything yet." Pang Chao sighed.

Jia Cong was startled and said with a dry laugh: "Sir, are you a little over-cautious? The old party is not a god either."

Pang Chao waved his hand and said: "Be prepared for danger in times of peace and store up grain to guard against hunger. The situation is not good. It's time to make plans early. Have you contacted the neutral faction?"

Jia Cong said: "We haven't had time yet. Cong will contact you tomorrow. I know Fatty Feng. I just want money."

Pang Chao nodded: "If you can get more help, just try to get more help. This is why I asked you not to offend the Queen. If nothing can be done, the Queen is our last hope."

"Cong understands."

The next day, the court meeting

Jia Cong went to court as usual and reported back the investigation results of old cases involving officials from the old party.

As soon as we arrived outside the Meridian Gate, we saw many eyes coming from the east and west sides.

After all, the previous court had two young eunuchs who held lanterns to guide the way. With this kind of treatment, except for Jia Cong, who was so good with Dai Quan that he could wear a pair of trousers, there were only a few bachelors.

Jia Cong felt a chill in his heart. Although the light was dim and he couldn't see clearly, from the cold and mocking eyes of a pair of people, he could already feel the strong hostility emanating from the ranks of civil servants and nobles.

Not caring about avoiding suspicion, Jia Cong strolled into the ranks of civil servants, clasped his hands and laughed and said, "Good morning, gentlemen, have you eaten?"
It's getting colder today, so you gentlemen need to remember to put on more clothes. If you get cold, it will be a great loss to the country. "

When people in the new party saw him coming, they all returned the courtesy and greetings with a friendly smile.

The fence-sitting faction never offended anyone, so they politely returned the favor and exchanged pleasantries.

Everyone in the old party smiled coldly, looked away, and ignored him. Boy, you don’t know when you are about to die.

Jia Cong was secretly worried. The situation had really deteriorated. It seemed that these people had already made plans. Will they challenge me at the meeting today?

His eyes quickly searched around and quickly locked onto a wretched fat man in the crowd.

Feng Yuan made eye contact with him, smiled, squeezed out from the team, and said with a smile: "I went south to the south of the Yangtze River and made great achievements in battle. I even said that I would buy you a drink and catch the wind for you.

Going to the south of the Yangtze River, there are beautiful scenery in good times, can there be any good poems? "

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I have one or two crude compositions, and I am just about to ask for your advice."

"Okay, who doesn't know that I, Old Feng, am a person who loves poetry, and I just happened to have a discussion with my brother." After Feng Yuan finished speaking, he walked aside with Jia Cong.

Everyone secretly scolded them for being shameless. It was clear that these two people were going to mix up some dirty things again, and they did so in the name of comparing poetry, which was despicable.

Jia Cong didn't care about being too high-profile in public. He pulled Feng Yuan aside and whispered: "Brother, I have been in Beijing for a long time. You should know that the old party is going to attack me?"

Feng Yuan chuckled: "Just today."

Jia Cong was stunned. Even Jin Yiwei didn't receive the news. How did Feng Yuan know about it?

"When did you know?" "Just today." Feng Yuan spread his hands. He is from Jinmen, and his accent has a comedic effect.

Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and said: "That's nonsense. I also found out today. Then do you know anything that I don't know?"

Feng Yuan shook his head.

"Fuck!" Jia Cong cursed secretly, and then said: "Today's court meeting is probably a bit dangerous, I hope I can help."

Feng Yuan's eyes lit up. He has always been a man who cares about money rather than his life. He laughed softly and said, "Mo Xi sells wine by boat and spends a lot of money to buy Chunfang. I heard that I have both people and wealth in Jiangnan."

Jia Cong chuckled and said, "Brother, do you know how much money I copied in Jiangnan this time?"

"I would like to hear the details." Feng Yuan's eyes flickered, and his eyes almost turned into two golden ingots.

Jia Cong made the sign "eight".

Feng Yuandao: "Eight million? It's not a lot."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "Beyond the water clouds outside the gate of Baidi City, I lowered myself eight thousand feet down." He was really satisfied to talk to this fat man without saying a few poems.

Fatty Feng's body trembled with fat, he swallowed with a grunt, and held Jia Cong's hand tightly: "Really 80 million?"

"Cong still has this number. If he is gone, who knows how much it is?" Jia Cong said.

Fatty Feng stopped reading poems and said, "Tell us the rules."

"If I and your brothers try their best to protect me, I will send 20% of this money to the inner treasury and the rest to the Ministry of Revenue.

If I don't save you, I can only send this money directly to the inner treasury. As for how much money I can get from His Majesty, it depends on your ability. "Jia Cong said.

Feng Yuan worked hard. He hadn't eaten such a big pie in several years. How could he be willing to give up? Even if Jia Cong was impeached and turned into a sieve, as long as he was not plotting to usurp the throne or assassinate the king, he would still dare to make a profit, fearing that What an egg!

What's more, he has his own judgment on the situation of the DPRK. Although Jia Cong is dangerous this time, he may not be able to escape unscathed. Anyway, he is just the icing on the cake, and the main force must be supported by the people of the new party.

Yin Ran said with emotion: "What did you say, brother? You and I are brothers, we are of the same body, we share life and death. Whoever wants to mess with you, mess with me. Watch me fight with you and the thieves!"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Brother is loyal, Cong thanks you."

"Which one of us is following who? Don't forget to send the money in as soon as possible. There is no fucking money in the treasury." Feng Yuan whispered, this matter is so big that Jiang Zhongtang needs to take action himself.

Jia Cong nodded and turned away. In the hands of a fat man like you, when has the treasury ever had money?

"Dang" is a clear sound.

On the Meridian Gate, the bell in the Wufeng Tower rang.

The east and west side doors opened slowly.

Everyone was busy dressing up and lining up to enter the palace.

Now that Jia Cong is the commander of the Imperial Guard and in charge of the emperor's personal army, his ranking is finally much higher.

In addition to the four princes from the southeast, northwest, and several governors of the fifth army governor's office, he was the one behind. As for the other twelve regiment battalions of the capital, the eight battalions of Xishan, the infantry commander's office, and the general soldiers from other provinces who returned to the capital to report on their duties, they were all behind.

Entering the Baohe Hall, all civil and military officials stood in silence.

Suddenly hearing the sound of ritual music, several royal guards and chamberlains came in from the back of the palace with Emperor Xifeng in their arms, climbed up the imperial steps and sat down.

All the officials bowed once, kowtowed three times, and shouted long live the three times.

Emperor Xifeng gently raised his hand and said: "Everyone please get down."

"Long live thanks." Everyone then stood up and formally began to discuss matters.

Dai Quan, who was walking down the imperial steps, shook his fly whisk and sang in a high-pitched voice: "If you have your origins, you will start playing, but if you don't have your origins, you will retreat from the court."

Officials from various ministries came out one after another and reported several things.

Jia Cong secretly thought that it was a blessing, not a curse, but that it was a curse that could not be avoided. He strode out of the queue and loudly played: "Your Majesty, Jia Cong, is telling me about the prison edict the day before yesterday."

"Accurate."

"Your Majesty, I have recently arrested all 14 criminal officials from various ministries and yamen and brought them to justice based on the impeachment of various imperial censors and officials. All the criminal officials have confessed. Facts of the case as follows……"

Jia Cong took a booklet and read it from cover to cover. He finally said: "According to the law, the above-mentioned criminals should have their homes confiscated and executed. The person behind the confession and the relevant people will be investigated in another case. Please give me your permission." "

After hearing this, Emperor Xifeng said calmly: "Do you have any objections?"

There was silence in the court, and Jia Cong's heart was raised. Will the old party be put to rest now? Why don't we rescue these many capable people?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster! And this monster is quite big.

Emperor Xifeng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Since all the ministers have no objections, let's handle it as it is."

"Yes, I obey your order." Jia Cong agreed and was about to retreat.

But I heard a man come out of the squad and say: "I impeached the first-class general Jia She for robbing people's property and causing serious injuries." (End of this chapter)
