Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Ruyi was also moved with compassion. She pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "You are short of assistants anyway, so why not just let them handle the errands for you? It's just the best of both worlds."

Seeing that she really took the bait, Jia Cong frowned and said: "Although this method is good, I'm afraid that people will say that I am acting for public benefit."

"What are you afraid of? Since they are good girls, you hire them and there is mutual consent. No one can say anything." Ruyi said.

Jia Cong nodded "reluctantly" and said, "This can only be done for now."

Ruyi glanced at him, then came back to his senses and smiled calmly: "Isn't this just convenient for you to hide your beauty in the golden house?"

Jia Cong sighed in his heart and hurriedly denied it: "I have a fairy-like person like Yan'er, so how can I care about those vulgar fans? Didn't I come back a long time ago?"

Ruyi smiled and scolded: "Fuck you, who knows what you dirty seed did outside, come back and scare me."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Yan'er, don't worry. There is a way for you to prove your innocence. You will know once you try it."

"What method...well, it's annoying, I won't try it." Ruyi said in a disgusted voice.

"If you don't try, won't your husband suffer an unjust injustice? Hao Yan'er, just do it for once."

Ruyi sneered and spat in Jia Cong's ear: "Bad guys, they know how to bully me."
-
Emperor Xifeng was in a good mood during this period. After all, he received the 30 million in cash shipped back by Jia Cong and had a good year.

Emperor Xifeng had just sent out a few important ministers who were discussing matters. Looking at the large basket of notebooks that had been carried, Emperor Xifeng frowned and asked, "What kind of notebooks are these?"

The chamberlain said: "Back to the emperor, this is sent by the slaves sent by Su Dajun of the Military Aircraft Department. It is said that they are all for impeachment of Marquis Huan."

"What's wrong with this bastard? Come on."

Emperor Xifeng took the top memorial, which was written by Lu Wenbin, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment. There were more than a dozen co-signing officials at the end, and at the back was a draft from the chief assistant Zhize.

"This bastard is so bold and lawless!" Emperor Xifeng said bitterly after reading the excerpt.

Look at the voting plan again:

Marquis Huan was in charge of the emperor's personal army. He regarded the law as nothing, violated the law when enforcing the law, used public weapons for private purposes, and forcibly abducted prostitutes to use in his private residence.

It is appropriate to sternly reprimand and order the people who have been taken by force to retreat, with small punishments and big warnings, to serve as a warning to others, and respectfully ask for your Majesty's judgment.

"Do you know about this?" Emperor Xifeng gave the fold to Dai Quan.

Dai Quan lowered his head and scanned it again, with a slight sneer on his lips.

It seems that Shi Zhize also knew that Jia Cong could not be moved easily, so he did not say anything about dismissal from office and seizing a title, and just asked him to return him.

Because he said: "Back to the emperor, I just learned about this this morning, and I haven't had time to report it yet. According to what I found at the stick stick, there is a reason for this. The words in the excerpt may not be fully believed."

"explain."

"Yes. I learned that yesterday, at the invitation of Feng Yuanfeng, Marquis Huan went to the Baihua Pavilion to have a banquet and observe the flower appreciation ceremony in Shenjing.

It happened that Nan Sitiqi was investigating a human trafficking case and took away many girls, bankers, madams, shopkeepers, accountants, etc. in the building.

Those nobles who were sharpening their swords saw that Jinyiwei ruined their flower appreciation, so it was reasonable to criticize Marquis Huan. "

Emperor Xifeng nodded slightly after listening to Dai Quan's words.

This is reasonable, but Jia Cong, a boy who has never seen a rabbit before a hawk, will not do anything that is not beneficial. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?
After flipping through a few more books at random, Emperor Xifeng frowned slightly and felt a little upset when he saw that the princes of the clan, the court officials, and the feudal lords of various houses in the capital were all unanimously impeaching Jia Cong.

We are about to do big things now, so how can we have time to deal with these trivial things.

"Go and summon Jia Cong to defend himself. If he can't explain clearly, I will punish him severely."

"Yes." Dai Quan knew that Jia Cong had entered the palace early this morning, so he hurriedly went to Changchun Palace.

In the Changchun Palace, Jia Cong and Ruyizheng were meeting Queen Chen, with the second and tenth princes beside them.

After saying goodbye, Empress Chen ordered the two of them to get up with a smile and said, "Why do you think of coming to see me today?"

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Don't you miss your mother and come here to say hello?"

Queen Chen smiled and said, "Really? I heard that you did a big business again last night."

Sun Chi gloated and said with a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is true. Brother Cong not only refuted the face of the eldest brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother last night, he was also very powerful.

He swallowed the top four leaders of Shenjing and more than a dozen popular courtiers in one gulp, leaving the clan members, dignitaries, ministers, and gentry present dumbfounded. They dared to be angry but dared not speak. "

"Oh? The prince-in-law is so powerful." Queen Chen said with a faint smile.

Ruyi glared at Sun Chi and said softly: "Mother, please, there is another reason for this." After saying that, he winked at Jia Cong, "bastard, why don't you say it quickly."

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "Mother, it's not Cong who is arrogant, but actually there is another reason.

Those famous prostitutes who were forced to sell their bodies had shady backgrounds. They were all good girls who were abducted from various places many years ago and sold into brothels.

Jinyiwei has found conclusive evidence, so he will rescue them even if they offend the powerful, so that these innocent women will not be tortured for life. "

"Really?" Queen Chen smiled slightly. She was not as easy to deceive as Ruyi.

"Yes, Queen Mother. You have to make the decision for these poor women." Ruyi nodded in agreement.

Empress Chen glanced at her angrily and said with a smile: "Sure enough, girls are outward-looking. Now that I have a consort, I will continue to speak for him."

Seeing that Ruyi was about to act coquettishly, she raised her hand to stop and continued: "Okay, I know about this matter. As long as there is real evidence, the queen mother should speak out and impartially."

Then he said with a slight reproach: "Brother Cong, you were reckless yesterday and embarrassed the eldest prince in front of so many people. What will you do in the future?"

Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "When I return to my mother, I haven't read many books. I only know one sentence, don't conspire against each other if you don't agree."

Empress Chen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Having said that, it is easy to be too tough. You need to be more polite in your actions in the future and don't offend others everywhere. It should be noted that a gentleman will not compare himself with others, and a villain will not compare himself with others."

"My mother taught me that. Well, what do you mean by the last two sentences? Please teach me."

Jia Cong said with an innocent face, how could he understand these profound words, not to mention that he didn't want to appear too smart. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is the way to go. Smart people often don't live long.

Ruyi, Sun Can, Sun Chi and others all sneered. Although they were not at the level of taking the imperial examination, the basic meaning of the scriptures was completely clear.

Empress Chen also laughed angrily and spat: "You scoundrel, since you don't understand the meaning, you still say that I taught you a good lesson. It shows that you don't take it to heart and just deal with it casually."

"Queen Mother, the Master said: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing. Do you want Cong to pretend to understand when he doesn't understand?" Jia Cong argued that he could only understand the meaning of the scriptures at the level of a child.

Empress Chen muttered: "If what I say today is spread, it will be difficult for you, the most talented person in the world, to convince the public." Jia Cong smiled and said: "These false names are like floating clouds for Cong. If you think about it based on the children's poems, if people think about it later, Being the most talented person in the world, you have to think carefully.”

"Insanity!"

"The villain succeeds!"

"That's arrogant."

Everyone laughed and suddenly heard Dai Quan asking to see him.

"Xuan." Empress Chen looked at Jia Cong and said, "His Majesty must have sent you the message."

Sure enough, Dai Quan bowed in, kowtowed in greeting, and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, summon your consort to play a duet."

"What's the matter?" Queen Chen asked.

"Because of the case of the girls in Baihualou last night, today many clan members, nobles, courtiers, and relatives have impeached the consort. The Military Aircraft Department has issued a stern reprimand and ordered the girls to be returned." Dai Quan said.

"I understand. You go and wait outside while I say a few words to my consort."

"Yes, I am retiring." Dai Quan bowed and left.

Jia Cong thought that Empress Chen was going to give instructions on how to deal with this situation, but he heard her say: "Why did the eldest prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and all those other noble princes go to Baihua Tower yesterday?"

"Then why else? Of course I want to kiss Fangze, our famous prostitute. As the saying goes, domestic flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers. I heard that although the eldest prince's princess comes from a famous family, she has an average appearance and a thin figure. I want to come..."

Jia Cong chuckled and was talking happily when he suddenly saw Queen Chen's expression darkening and looking a little annoyed. She quickly closed her mouth and her mind was racing, thinking about what she said wrong.

Fool! Empress Chen secretly spat and said slowly: "I am asking you, what are they doing in Baihua Tower? Who asked you, Princess?"

When Jia Cong heard her utter the word "them" repeatedly, he suddenly realized that this was clearly a hint that he had framed the eldest prince and caused trouble to the east.

He said hurriedly: "Cong only knows how to handle cases, but he doesn't know what 'they' went to Baihualou for. We will report it to Empress Ming after we find out."

"Well, let's go, don't keep the emperor waiting." Empress Chen said with a smile, this boy is not too stupid.

Jia Cong said goodbye and came out, pulling Dai Quan and saying: "Manager, what's the direction of the wind today?"

Dai Quan sighed: "There is a big basket of Zhezi from you, and they are all dignitaries in the court.

Brother, you have offended a lot of people this time, just for a few women, what about?
Even if you want these women, why not go and say hello in advance? Such a big fanfare will make it impossible for people to get off the stage.

Based on your brother’s reputation, wouldn’t they sell it to you? "

Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "To be honest with the manager, Cong is short of money now. How can he have money to buy people?"

Dai Quan asked curiously: "Brother, our family also knows a little bit about your net worth, why is it like this?"

Jia Cong looked around and whispered: "It's just because I have started another business and am spending a lot of money, so I don't have any spare money."

"Oh? What good business?" Dai Quan asked with eyes shining.

Jia Cong said: "Sea trade. My younger brother and the Xue family have set up a business to go overseas to do business with all nations. Are you interested?"

Dai Quan swallowed his saliva and said, "This is indeed a good business. How much capital should be invested?"

Jia Cong stretched out four fingers and said: "My little brother invested 4000 million."

Dai Quan took a breath: "So many? Brother, I'm powerless."

He had lived a hard life in the past. Since Jia Cong started his business, he has become richer, but he has no money to participate in this kind of business.

Jia Cong laughed in a low voice and said: "Friends have the right to make money together, let alone you and me brothers. Don't worry, manager, when you make a profit, I will give you my own heart. Manager, don't be dissatisfied with meager things."

Dai Quan smiled brightly, Jia Cong never expressed his kindness in a humble way, and said hurriedly: "Brother, you are so polite, but I don't know how to repay you. I really deserve it."

Jia Cong said: "Hasn't the general manager cared enough for my sister and brother? Isn't Cong a heartless person? He should reciprocate his kindness. If the internal ministers are divided between each other, Cong will be ashamed and ashamed."

"Brothers."

"lifetime."

The two of them exchanged some heartfelt words, and then Dai Quan whispered: "Your Majesty has no intention of going into details today.

I have made a statement for you in front of the emperor. Later, you just insist on handling the case, and no one can do anything to you. As for how to get it back in the future, I think I have an expert at my disposal. "

"Thank you, manager."

"Besides, now you are the person His Majesty needs, and they are breaking a big taboo by joining forces with you.

Not to mention that my brother is upright, even if he is guilty, how can they fail?

Isn't this clear that the party is united and opposed to the other party? How could Your Majesty let them succeed? "Dai Quan said with a smile.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Thank you, my wife, for your advice."

"You and I are of the same mind, brother. How can I just watch my brother being slandered?" Dai Quan said with a smile.

"If there is no inner support to look after him, Cong will be in trouble."

"you are welcome."

While they were talking, they arrived at the Yangxin Hall. Jia Cong followed Dai Quan in and saw several great scholars there, as well as several important ministers, as well as royal family members such as Prince Zhongshun, Marquis of Guanyang, Marquis of Shicheng, and Marquis of Chuanning.

Jia Cong was not afraid, so he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Cong, I wish to greet you."

Emperor Xifeng snorted coldly and said, "Don't cause me any trouble, and I will be in good health."

"I dare not, I am afraid."

"Is there anything else you don't dare to do? Why did you lead soldiers into a brothel and rob prostitutes yesterday for the benefit of your own good? Look at this basket of discounts. They are all for you."

Emperor Xifeng said coldly, "This bastard is too careless. The other people's discounts are calculated based on the book, and he is calculated based on the basket."

Jia Cong glanced at the full bamboo basket and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am wronged!" (End of Chapter)
