Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 174 A turmoil arises in Jirentang!
At this time, Daiyu's magic power flickered, which was a sign that her strength had broken through to the second level of practice.

From now on, you can use some magic spells and your means will be greatly increased.

"Hehe, Jiao girl also said she had a surprise for Brother Cong."

"I told you I couldn't hide it from Brother Cong."

Daiyu said with a smile.

A few sisters set up a poetry club in the garden of the marquis's mansion a few days ago.

They also gave each of them a nickname.

Tanchun's nickname is Guest Under the Banana Tree.

"I was supposed to have made a breakthrough half a month ago. Sister Bao said that it would be beneficial for the future if I laid a solid foundation."

"I'm only half a month late."

……

"Brother Cong, Miss Lin has made a breakthrough today, we must celebrate well."

Yingchun also spoke at this time.

Jia Cong glanced at Daiyu.

Although he didn't say anything, there was obvious anticipation in his eyes.

"That's fine, second sister, you guys have been practicing for so many days in a row, it's time to take a break."

Jia Cong glanced at the sky.

It was exactly the 9th hour, and there was still more than an hour until noon.

"There's a new Baiwei Pavilion opened in the city. I'll take you for a walk and have lunch at Baiwei Pavilion at noon."

"When I get back in the evening, I'll host a party, invite a troupe of actors, and invite my second sister-in-law and the others to come, and have a good celebration."

Jia Cong said with a smile.

Baiwei Pavilion was opened by Jia Cong.

Of course, on the surface it was done through the Xue family’s channels and manpower.

Jia Cong took out the MSG from his previous life.

On the coast of Jiangnan, you can buy a cart of kelp for a few copper coins.

Just after it opened the day before yesterday, it became famous in Beijing for the delicious taste of its dishes.

The money earned is secondary; it is mainly used to lay copper pipe secret compartments in the private rooms to collect intelligence.

"Want to go out on the street?"

When Daiyu heard that she could go out to play, her eyes immediately narrowed into crescents.

Nowadays, daughters of the rich and powerful never leave their houses and may not leave their homes more than a few times a year.

……

After everyone packed up briefly, Jia Cong summoned Hou Jingyun and asked him to prepare the carriage.

Then he called Baochai over.

When we left the mansion, there were already several carriages parked at the door.

There are guards on both sides of the car.

The new equipment has unique red armor and a murderous look.

The Blood-Clothed Guards are the only family in the capital city that belongs to the Marquis Jing'an Mansion.

Everyone got on the carriage and drove out of the street leading to the Marquis's mansion.

Passersby saw the carriage approaching from afar and hurriedly moved to the sides.

Daiyu and a few others opened the curtains a little.

Looking at everything on the street with joy.

I walked through several streets but still didn't arrive at Baiweiju.

Then I heard wailing and crying coming from the front.

"Ouch, it killed me."

"The doctor at Jirentang killed someone."

"People's lives are being taken lightly, and no one is going to care?"

……

"Hou Jingyun, stop!"

Jia Cong heard the voice and spoke lightly to the outside of the car.

Jirentang is the name of the pharmacy that Jia Cong asked Wang Xifeng to open.

The doctor is invited to see the patient for free, and all medicinal materials are sold at affordable prices. If you are from a poor family and cannot afford the medicine, the medicine will be free.

The five pharmacies in Shenjing City have monthly expenses of more than a thousand taels of silver.

"Sister Lin, Sister Bao, wait for me here."

"This is the pharmacy opened by my second sister-in-law. I'll go down and take a look."

After saying hello to the two women in the same carriage, Jia Cong got off the carriage.

"This Jirentang has been open for more than a month. The owner is kind-hearted. If you meet a poor person, he only needs to beg for mercy and he will waive the medicine fee."

"How could you do such a thing?"

“You know people, you know faces, but you don’t know hearts!”

"For no reason, they opened a pharmacy that is so unprofitable. Who knows what they are trying to achieve?"

Outside Jirentang, there were crowds of people watching the fun, crowding in three layers.

There were people in the crowd who were trying to instigate and guide the conversation.

Seeing this, Hou Jingyun quickly took a few personal soldiers and went forward to open up a passage.

The person who was pushed away was dissatisfied at first, but after seeing how Hou Jingyun was dressed, he dared not say anything anymore.

Jia Cong walked into the circle.

Only then did I see clearly what was happening in front of the pharmacy.

A dozen people in mourning clothes who looked like bad guys were crying and making a scene in front of the door.

There was also a corpse on the ground, covered with a white cloth.

At the door of the pharmacy, a young man wearing a long gown, with a long face and tall figure, looking gentle and handsome, was watching coldly.

Seeing his personal soldiers clearing the way, Jia Cong walked over.

He shuddered and hurried forward to greet him.

"Jia Yun greets the Marquis!"

"Are you Jia Yun?"

"Not bad!"

Jia Cong nodded slightly.

It was Wang Xifeng who mentioned to Jia Cong Jia Yun, the man from the fifth sister-in-law's family in the back street.

He had only a few days' education, and was neither good at literature nor martial arts, but he was filial and thoughtful.

He is very mature at a young age.

It was not convenient for Wang Xifeng to show up in public, so she only came to the pharmacy to inspect it a few times a month.

Usually, Jia Yun is the one who takes care of these miscellaneous matters.

But when you see someone causing trouble, you can still deal with it calmly.

He is a person who can be cultivated.

"What's going on here?"

"In reply to your question, my Lord, I guess someone is causing trouble."

"It's just a small matter. I dare not disturb the Marquis. I have sent someone to the Five Cities Military Department to call the officers over."

"But I don't know why. Half an hour has passed and I still haven't seen anyone."

Jia Yun reported this with a disgraced face.

"It came quite quickly!"

Jia Cong chuckled.

The Wucheng Bingmasi was a department in the capital that was responsible for patrolling the capital to arrest thieves, clearing the streets and drains, and managing prisoners and fire bans.

It is divided into five yamen: East, West, South, North and Central.

During the reign of Taizu, the commander of the Bingmasi was a fourth-rank official. After Taizong ascended the throne, it was changed to a sixth-rank official.

In addition, according to the Daqian system, if the father of a relative or princess of a county prince does not have an official position, the prince will be appointed as the commander of the army, and the prince will be appointed as the deputy commander, but they will not be in charge of the affairs.

It's just an official position.

A bit like the urban management officer in Jia Cong's previous life.

It is just a self-contained system, and its powers and responsibilities somewhat overlap with those of Yingtian Prefecture.

Now, nearly half an hour has passed, and the people from the Five Cities Army have not arrived yet.

With the meticulous mind of an innate god.

How can you not see that this person is clearly here to cause trouble on purpose?

……

"My Lord, sit down!"

At this time, Hou Jingyun moved a throne from the pharmacy.

The dozen or so people who were making trouble saw Jia Cong and Jia Yun talking, and suddenly thought of something.

Suddenly, a look of fear appeared on his face.

Before I could speak.

Then Jia Cong waved his hand.

"It's these unpresentable means again."

"I was being driven around without even knowing who I was provoking."

"Chop them all off, leaving them as an eyesore."

"Yes!"

The troublemakers were immediately scared to death when they heard this.

"My Lord, it's a misunderstanding..."

I was just about to open my mouth to defend myself.

The butcher's knife has arrived.

Hou Jingyun, who was at the ninth level of the acquired realm, and a dozen of his personal soldiers, whose average strength was above the eighth level of body forging after practicing the "Bloodthirsty Art", attacked together.

These land thugs who came here to cause trouble after receiving money are no match for the young scoundrels.

After a few breaths, they were all hacked to death.

What's even more ridiculous is that even the "dead body" on the ground couldn't help but stand up and try to escape in the chaos.

He was hacked to death by Hou Jingyun.

Jia Cong stretched out his hand and pointed, and more than a dozen sword energies flew out.

The person who was quietly fanning the flames among the crowd was also killed by the sword energy. …

A moment later, the streets were filled with blood and more than twenty real corpses were lying on the ground.

“It’s that person indeed.”

"If you don't strike, it's fine. But if you strike, blood will be shed!"

"I was wondering why Jirentang usually does good deeds and benevolent deeds, so why would they take human lives so lightly?"

"It turns out that this Jirentang was opened by Lord Jia. Lord Jing'an only kills the rich and powerful and never hurts the common people."

"I came from Jiangnan, and Marquis Jing'an opened his warehouses and released grain to help the people."

More than twenty corpses were a shock.

Without the instigator, Jirentang’s reputation was reversed.

A heroic young man in the crowd saw this scene and his face was filled with excitement and fanaticism.

It was Liu Xianglian who had previously witnessed the scene of Jia Cong returning to Beijing and thousands of ships retreating on the canal.

"Jia Yun, which military department is in charge of this place?"

At the door of the pharmacy, Jia Cong asked.

"My Lord, it's the Central City Army."

It was the first time that Jia Yun saw a scene with corpses everywhere, but his expression was still calm.

"Go to the Central City Military Affairs Office and ask their commander and deputy commander to come see me."

"Hou Jingyun, you come with me."

"If you don't want to come, bring your head!"

"Yes!"

Hou Jingyun led two people and followed Jia Yun to the Bingmasi.

The remaining guards were on guard nearby.

I took a look outside and saw that the number of people was not decreasing, but increasing.

Jia Cong also didn't want to be watched here.

He got up and went back to the carriage, preparing to get on.

Suddenly a handsome young man ran out from the crowd.

It was Liu Xianglian from before, with excitement still on his face.

When the bodyguards saw someone rushing out, they drew their swords and were about to take action.

Liu Xianglian shouted hurriedly.

"Brothers, please wait a moment. I am Liu Xianglian and I have something to ask the Marquis."

"Liu Xianglian?"

When Jia Cong heard the name, he paused, turned around and looked at the other person with interest.

Liu Xianglian is currently only at the sixth level of body building.

He is considered superior among the younger generation, but with this level of cultivation, any one of the eight hundred Blood-Clothed Guards is no match for him.

Just as a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Jia Cong's eyes grew more and more interested.

Top-notch talent for refining the spirit.

Her qualifications are surprisingly similar to those of Yuanyang, the head maid in Jia Cong's courtyard.

"Liu Xianglian? From the Duke of Liguo's residence?"

"What do you want from me?"

……

"I dare not lie to you, my Lord. I am indeed from the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, but we have long since separated from the family."

"It has nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion now."

Liu Xianglian knelt on one knee.

"I have rashly stopped the Marquis' carriage. Liu Xianglian begs the Marquis to give me a chance to serve you."

"Sixth level of physical forging? Work for me?"

“Not to mention those far away, there are countless people in Shenjing City who want to join my army.”

"I have eight hundred Blood Robe Guards under my command, and the weakest of them has reached the eighth level of Body Forging."

"Why should I give you this opportunity?"

Jia Cong chuckled.

Hearing this, Liu Xianglian did not retreat at all, but his expression became even more determined.

"I know I am not strong enough, but I am loyal and the world can bear witness to it."

"I only ask that you give me a chance to prove my ability. No matter what it is, I am willing to give it a try."

It looks like it’s almost cooked.

Jia Cong then took out a book on the Xuanmen cultivation technique, "Baihong Zhendian"!
It was left behind by a short-lived sect a thousand years ago.

Practice to the highest level and reach the third level of spiritual refinement.

It has supernatural powers and white rainbow divine light, which is inspired by the long rainbow that penetrates the sun, and is brilliant and majestic.

Thousands of rainbow lights flash as fast as lightning, making it impossible for the opponent to defend against them.

It is considered top-notch among the spiritual cultivation techniques collected by Jia Cong.

"Well, I think you have a decent character, so I'll give you a chance."

"This White Rainbow Canon points directly to the third level of soul refining. You have three months."

"If you can enter the country using this method within three months, you can come to my house to find me."

"If not, in order to prevent the technique from being passed on, I will not only take back the technique, but also your life."

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"The villain is willing!"

Faced with Jia Cong's final test of his character, Liu Xianglian accepted it without any hesitation.

"Go!"

After nodding, Jia Cong threw the martial arts technique to Liu Xianglian.

"My Lord, I will take my leave. I will definitely come to your residence and serve you within three months."

Liu Xianglian said this firmly, then turned around and left with his skills.

……

"Sister Bao, send someone to keep an eye on Liu Xianglian."

"Once there is any sign of trouble, take action immediately!"

Back in the carriage, Jia Cong gave instructions to Baochai.

Giving Liu Xianglian a chance was naturally not only because of his superior talent for spiritual cultivation.

Now Jia Cong has sisters and several maids in his family, and there are more than ten people who are related to him, big and small.

They have all embarked on the path of cultivation.

There is another reason.

This Liu Xianglian was the person chosen by the lame Taoist, and he will practice with the lame Taoist in the future.

Whether there is grass or not, just rake it up first.

Maybe we can use this to find the lame Taoist priest's trail and cut off one arm of the Grand Illusion Realm.

……

This time he didn't have to wait too long before he heard Jia Cong summon him.

The commander of the Zhongcheng Bingmasi Yamen and two deputy commanders rushed over, tumbling and crawling.

Salute outside the carriage.

"Your humble servant greets the Marquis!"

"I will only give you three breaths of time. Tell me who is behind this..."

"Don't think about making excuses. The Zhen family of Jinling just wanted to reason with me, but you know the result."

Faced with this minor sixth-rank official, Jia Cong did not even get off the carriage.

He spoke through the curtain.

The tone was not harsh, but it made the commander of the Central City Army sweat profusely.

Jinling Zhen family!

He was the local emperor of Jinling, but in the end his entire clan was exterminated!

This is just an insignificant item in Jia Cong's military achievements.

If I had known earlier that there was this killer behind Jirentang.

No matter what, the Zhongcheng Bingmasi dared not accept this task.

Only two breaths passed before Jia Cong's vicious reputation flashed through his mind.

"My Lord, I really didn't know that Jirentang was related to you!"

"I am willing to reveal the mastermind behind this."

"It was Prince Yi Zhong. Prince Yi Zhong was the one who was plotting against the Marquis behind the scenes!"

"Yesterday, the brother of Concubine Yang from the Prince's Mansion came to me and said that Jirentang was blocking his way to wealth and wanted to rectify it."

"Tell me to send the officers later today."

The Zhongcheng Bingmasi quickly confessed everything they knew.

"Blocking the road to wealth?"

"Forget it. I will not kill you today. Go to the Ministry of Personnel and resign tomorrow."

"It's too late, be careful about the lives of your family!"

Does the commander of the Zhongcheng Military Department really not know that Jia Cong is behind Jirentang?

maybe……

After all, when Wang Xifeng went out to inspect the pharmacy, it was impossible for her to come in a high-profile manner.

But still the same sentence.

If I provoke Jia Cong today, I will be safe.

What if someone comes to cause trouble in the future under an unknown name?
These petty things are not big deals, but they are troublesome.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Central City Army no longer cared about losing his job.

It's impossible to be an official in Beijing, but you can always find a job by being sent out.

If you lose your life, you lose everything.
