[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Baoyu was immediately doused with cold water, and said without turning a corner, "Why are you here?"

He was worrying about Bao Cong's affairs, how could he have the time to deal with this stupid overlord.

And the reason why the Dumb King is the Dumb King is because he is ignorant and unaware of priorities.

Xue Pan was reprimanded by Bao Cong, and was punished by the prison board. Although he was not as domineering as before, he still stayed very well.Seeing Baoyu's bad tone, he was not happy at once, and immediately said with a straight face: "Why can't I come? We are cousins, and now we are in-laws. Uncle is a distinguished guest. Can I not step on your land?"

"Huh! Baoyu, I have always been very kind to you. I think of you for everything. Even my baby sister married you. But what do I gain? You have to ask 'Why are you here?' OK Good, very good! If you don't want me to come, I will never come to your door from now on!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave, Mingyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, begging: "Uncle Xue, our second master didn't mean that!"

Baoyu was worried, and was so angry by Xue Pan for a moment that he couldn't vomit out loudly, so he simply pointed at Xue Pan and shook his sleeves: "I just want to say, you have to say this! Good!" Can't you let me be quiet? How can I not let you come to the door? You say this for no reason, just to make trouble for me!"

"Hey, what's wrong with me?" Hearing Baoyu's angry words, Xue Pan was about to jump up like a firecracker, but a woman shouted angrily: "Brother, what are you doing? You just returned to Beijing and didn't go to see your mother. Just come here to anger me?"

Xue Pan still loved Baochai very much. Seeing his sister coming, even if he got angry with Baoyu, he didn't dare to quarrel. !"

Baochai gave Xue Pan a blank look, walked up to Baoyu, and said, "I heard everything. The mother at home is still sick. Don't make noise, and be careful that she hears. Don't you know yet? Baocong is in prison, and the whole family They are all troubled by this matter, and Baoyu is troubled to say that he has no intentions."

Xue Pan was shocked: "Bao Cong is in prison? What can I do then! I have something urgent to ask him to do!" Knowing that Mrs. Wang was ill, he managed to keep his voice down so he didn't dare to yell.

It's just that his face was flushed, obviously anxious.

Baoyu said unhappily: "You still ask him to do business? We are all trying to rescue him! King Zhongshun sent seven or eight people to accuse Bao Cong of more than a dozen crimes. I can’t ask. Go to Eldest Sister, but Eldest Sister can’t see her either.”

"This time, Bao Cong is going to be killed! Maybe the whole family will be affected!"

"Ah!" Xue Pan was shocked again, "It's so serious!"

He didn't feel anything about the dozen or so charges, but if Baoyu couldn't find any news and couldn't see Yuanchun, then the matter was really serious.

But, he still remembers that thing in his heart.The eyeballs rolled around a few times, and when they approached Baoyu, the thief said: "Baoyu, I heard that in your court, isn't there someone who deserves crimes and meritorious service? I have a good thing here, and I can ask Baocong to perform crimes and meritorious deeds."

What good things can Xue Pan do?

Baoyu didn't even want to ask, so Baochai also persuaded: "My good brother, don't meddle here, go back and see your mother, she has been waiting for your house for a long time!"

But Xue Pan didn't listen, and kept saying, "I really have something great to do, sister, listen to it too!"

"Do you remember Zhuangzi, which is more than 100 miles away from the capital to the east? I rested there a few days ago, and I found a nest of bandits! Those bandits, good guy, must have seven to eight hundred people!"

Hearing this, Baoyu gasped, and said in surprise, "Seven to eight hundred people? How is that possible? If there were so many mountain bandits hiding in such a close place to the capital, the imperial court would have sent troops to suppress the bandits long ago! How do you know there are so many bandits?" ? Have you seen counting?"

Baochai didn't speak, but stared at Xue Pan with a frown, obviously stunned by the news he said.

I only heard Xue Pan triumphantly said: "Didn't that be counted? I sneaked over in the middle of the night and saw them. They didn't sleep in the middle of the night. A small group of people walked around carrying things, and a group was exactly five. Ten people, I counted more than 700 people several times, that's right!"

How many people are 700?

Baoyu was surprised, and said: "Why do bandits get up in the middle of the night to carry things? What are they carrying?"

Baochai was even more strange, but according to Xue Pan's description, these bandits were in small groups, with 50 people in each group, which was too orderly.

Xue Pan chuckled, and said in a low voice, "That's what I'm talking about! I guess they're carrying silver, gold, silver and jewels! Isn't Bao Cong in the Ministry of War? Ask the emperor to make him a general, and send three 5000 soldiers." People, let us brothers go together to suppress the bandits! When the time comes, we will beat each other, and all those boxes of gold, silver and jewelry will belong to us!"

Baoyu shook his head and sighed: "Although Baocong is in the Ministry of War, he is not leading troops to fight, he is drawing maps."

Xue Pan twisted: "It's all the same! Everyone is in the military department, why can't he lead troops to suppress bandits? It's not like he doesn't know martial arts! This credit and money can't be used for others! Bao Cong can The one who committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds!"

After thinking about it, Baoyu suddenly thought that it is not useless for Baocong to draw maps!

Wouldn't it be appropriate for Feng Tang to lead troops to suppress the bandits, and then let Bao Cong survey and draw pictures?

Baoyu immediately clapped his hands and said, "I have a solution! If Uncle Feng is asked to ask for orders to suppress the bandits, and then he says he needs Baocong to help draw the map, then the emperor will definitely let Baocong out!"

Baoyu patted Xue Pan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xue, that's a good idea. I'm going to visit Uncle Feng right now!"

Just as he was about to leave, Baochai stopped him and told him, "Take your brother to explain this matter to me. I don't think this sounds like bandits, but more like private soldiers."

"Private soldiers?" Baoyu paused, frowned, and sensed a deeper meaning, "If it's true, it's not good!"

Xue Pan was so stupid that he didn't understand what Baochai was talking about as private soldiers, let alone why Baoyu said it was bad.He just muttered, why should the Feng family have to take the credit for the good work, wouldn't it be good for his own family to grab the money?

It's a pity that Bao Cong was put in prison, and none of the Jia family and Xue family could go to suppress the bandits.

Baoyu didn't care what he was thinking, just took his arm and said, "Hurry up, let's go to Feng's house quickly, and you can talk to me carefully along the way."

Xue Pan followed Baoyu all the way to Feng's house, and told what he had seen and heard over and over again until Feng Tang gave up.Feng Tang and Baoyu secretly discussed how to investigate these private soldiers pretending to be bandits, and how to use this to get Baocong out of the prison first.

Xue Pan was bored waiting, so he asked Mingyan to take him to the newly opened restaurant for a drink, and said he wanted to see the new Huaniang.Mingyan ran in and out with Baoyu these days, and was so tired that she asked Chen Ping to coax Xue Pan to play together.The two finally got Xue Pan drunk, and carried him to Aunt Xue's place. Unexpectedly, the drunk Xue Pan slipped away and hid behind a small stall selling bamboo baskets.

Mingyan and Chen Ping thought that Xue Pan was drunk, so they went to drag him out together, but he didn't come out, and covered their mouths, hissing: "Don't make noise! ​​It would be bad if the mountain bandits found out! Bandits are good at martial arts, they can cut off a head with one blow!"

It turned out that people were mistaken for bandits!

Mingyan and Chen Ping looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, thinking that Xue Pan was frightened a few days ago, and now he is drunk like this, so he coaxed him: "Where are there bandits? This is in the capital, not in the mountains. My aunt is waiting for you." You go back, Mr. Xue, come out quickly!"

Xue Pan refused, and hid in the corner, pointing forward tremblingly and said, "Bandit, it's a bandit! The one with the scar on his face is right!"

Chen Ping subconsciously followed the pointer and stared at him.Isn't that man Zhou Jia Dalang?

He looked and looked to make sure he was right.It's Zhou Jia Dalang, but there are more scars on his face.

But Zhou Jia Dalang seems to have taken refuge in King Zhongshun... those bandits...

Chen Ping's eyes flashed brightly, he immediately pushed Xue Pan, handed it to Ming Yan and said, "I have to leave beforehand, you send Uncle Xue back."

"Hey! Don't go!" Mingyan turned her head, and Chen Ping had disappeared.

=== 888 ===

All of this was seen by Bao Cong.

That's right, he is now taking a great risk, squatting in the illusion during the day, and has not slept for three days and two nights, and his nerves are extremely tense.

Emperor Zhao and King Zhongshun were not so easy to find out, and it was not something he could find out just by searching.So he continued to suffer, watching everyone that Emperor Zhao and King Zhongshun met, trying to hear every word they said.

Finally made him wait, Emperor Zhao vomited blood and took elixir, and Zhou Jia Dalang brought someone to give money to King Zhongshun in the middle of the night.

After following the clues, Bao Cong quickly figured it out.It turned out that Emperor Zhao's body had serious problems due to illness and taking pills for many years.Metal poisoning is unavoidable, and he still doesn't know what other serious diseases are.

He also saw very clearly that King Zhongshun raised private soldiers, dug silver mines, and privately stockpiled weapons.

If it is about rebellion, he thinks that King Zhongshun is more ambitious and qualified!

Bao Cong snorted coldly, brushed the dust off his sleeves, and decided to dig a tunnel under King Zhongshun's bedroom and Concubine Chen's bedroom.

Concubine Chen has an affair with King Zhongshun, and King Zhongshun even raises private soldiers in an attempt to rebel, or simply Concubine Chen’s son is the son of King Zhongshun, and King Zhongshun raises private soldiers in an attempt to support his son in seeking the throne in the future... .. What could make Emperor Zhao furious more than this?

Let them kill each other, if you can't kill them, you can also piss them off!

With two clicks, Bao Cong jumped to the location of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and began to measure the shortest distance from King Zhongshun's bedroom to Concubine Chen's bedroom.

"Ding!" As soon as the chisel went down, a deep voice sounded in the illusion.

"Jia Baocong, heaven has its destiny, and people have their lives. The roads don't change, and the lines don't shift. If you carve out a passage on your body that shouldn't exist, you will also be damaged. Are you sure you want to carve it?"

Bao Cong froze for a moment, then smiled.

He remembered that when he helped Qingwen escape, he cut a hole himself, and there was a bloodstain on his face.

But so what?If you want to get it, you have to pay a price, and he is ready.

Slowly raise the hammer and hit it into a stillness.
