Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 78 Brother Cong, You Scared Brother Again
The Xue family was fortunate to have Xue Baochai, who was able to help Mrs. Xue manage the family affairs at the age of twelve.

Even though Xue Pan, the patriarch of the Xue family, is an unscrupulous dude, in the eyes of Jia Cong, the rules of the Xue family can beat the eighteen Ningrong Streets of Rongguo Mansion.

Accompanied by the brothers and sisters of the Xue family, Jia Cong came to the guest courtyard. The maidservant had already tidied up the inside and outside of the courtyard.

"Sister Xue is really capable, Brother Xue, you are so lucky!"

This compliment definitely came from the heart, but it also made Xue Baochai blush.

Xue Pan scratched the back of his head and smiled naively: "I think so too!"

Hahaha……

The two looked at each other and smiled, Jia Cong really thought that Xue Pan was quite interesting, but he didn't know if it was really as ugly as the rumors, or someone did it deliberately.

Xue Baochai turned her beautiful eyes, glared at her elder brother, and asked softly: "Brother Cong, see if there is anything else you need, I'll ask someone to arrange it."

Jia Cong responded with a smile: "Sister Xue has made very thoughtful arrangements, and there is nothing lacking for now. By the way, I want Brother Xue to take me to Jinling for a while. If I want to meet a friend, please tell Sister Xue to my aunt. Dinner is not served at home."

Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't ask any further questions. After a humming, she told Xue Pan, "Then brother will take good care of Brother Cong. I heard that there are many traffickers in Jinling recently. Remember to bring more people with you..."

……

Xue Pan, who was dressed in flamboyant clothes, looked at Jia Cong who was dressed in strong clothes, and stared at the Yanling knife hanging on Jia Cong's waist, and complained in a low voice: "Brother Cong, the flying fish suit is so good, why do you insist on it?" Want to change into this?"

"Brother Xue, we went to play by the Qinhuai River today. We wore the flying fish suits bestowed by the emperor. Others thought we were going to mess things up."

Jia Cong had already guessed Xue Pan's thoughts, and explained a few words with a smile: "And today, my younger brother wants to take this opportunity to meet someone, the matter is of great importance, so can he make a show of himself?"

Xue Pan asked again in confusion: "Since the matter is so important, wouldn't it be better to meet at home?"

I saw Jia Cong glanced at the dark place beside him from the corner of his eye, and smiled sarcastically.Whispered in Xue Pan's ear, "Brother Xue, guess how many spies from other families are following behind our two brothers?"

Before Xue Pan got irritable, Jia Cong spoke again to appease him: "The reason why I brought my brother out is to take advantage of the noisy place to connect with people. My father has already made arrangements, and I will ask Brother Xue to cooperate with me to play a role." Good show!"

If you say that Xue Pan is a muddleheaded person, he is definitely a man of loyalty.

If Jia Cong hadn't said that someone was following him nearby, his chest would have been slapped a long time ago.

What is the most famous thing along the Qinhuai River?
Of course, it is the Qinlou Chuguan and the Huafang actor that stretch for several miles.

Xue Pan was very familiar with this place. It was not long after the end of the township examination, and there were countless scholars by the Qinhuai River asking their sons to recite poems and compose Fu to please their beauties.

"Miss Luo, is the private room on the second floor ready for you? I brought my good brother here today..."

Jia Cong had already gone to brothels with his second elder brother Jia Lian in the capital city, but the Qinlou Chu Pavilion by the Qinhuai River was unique, more elegant inside, and even the smell of powder was different from the capital city, with a faint fragrance and elegant appearance. pole.

Others used poems to go to the private room on the second floor, but Xue Pan was a local tyrant who used money to smash it.

Jia Cong followed Mrs. Luo, who twisted her waist like a snake demon, to the second floor. The private room by the window was booked by Xue Pan early on.

"Uncle Xue, this brother of yours is too young. If his father and brother find out, wouldn't they want to ruin the slave's business?"

Mrs. Luo glanced at the childish fairy boy, and asked tentatively with a smile on her face.

Xue Pan patted the table angrily: "Don't inquire, I just smashed your building, and I have plenty of money to pay for it! Go, go, call Miss Hualing, I want to listen to her singing today. Let's get some good wine." All the dishes are on the table, and your money is indispensable!"

Miss Luo, who was unable to find out Jia Cong's identity, said that she was unwilling, but she didn't ask again. Instead, she smiled and said: "Uncle Xue, don't be upset, the slave family is also worried that Master Xue will be the leader of the elders, and the slave family is going to arrange it."

After Mrs. Luo left, Jia Cong nodded to Jia Shixi who was guarding outside, and then a personal guard left quickly towards the river.

After the door of the private room was temporarily closed, Xue Pan asked excitedly: "Now, let's talk about it. I have reserved all the brothers in the private room. No one can find out what's going on here."

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xue Pan strangely: "Brother Xue really wants to know?"

"Like a cat scratching!"

"It's okay to tell Big Brother Xue, I still have an imperial errand to Jinling, and the saint ordered someone to come to Jinling to kill someone!"

hiss!
Xue Pan instantly remembered Huai'an Mansion overnight, and sat on the ground as soon as his legs softened.

"Brother Cong, don't scare me. Why are you killing people again? Who are you going to kill?"

Jia Cong lifted him up and whispered in Xue Pan's ear, "Jinling weaves Li Xun!"

"Ah! How could it be him? He is a famous figure in Jinling and even in Nanzhili!"

No matter what, Xue Pan would never have thought that the person Jia Cong wanted to kill was Li Xun. You must know that when his father was alive, he would rather offend the prefect of Jinling than Li Xun, who seemed to be of low grade in Jinling weaving.

The Xue family also sends [-]% of the proceeds from the silk business to the Li family every year, so as to tie up the Li family so that the Li family will not be caught by the Weaving Mansion.

Unexpectedly, brother Cong actually took the emperor's messenger and was about to kill Li Xun. Wouldn't the family save a lot of money?
Suddenly recovering from his panic, Xue Pan laughed suddenly, which surprised Jia Cong.

"Brother Xue, why are you laughing?"

Xue Pan held Jia Cong's shoulders and explained in a low voice: "My family sends a large amount of gold and silver to the Li family every year as deposits, so that we can get the silk satin from Zhizao Mansion, but the deposits have never been refunded. Brother Cong, do you think I can stop laughing?"

Now it was Jia Cong's turn to be puzzled.

"What's more? The Xue family is an imperial merchant, hasn't the security deposit been handed over to the household department long ago?"

Xue Pan spat towards the east of the city: "It's not just my family. All the royal merchants and government merchants near Jinling who have silk business will send [-]% to [-]% of their shares to the Li family. Otherwise, we won't even be able to receive raw silk. Here. So what if the household department paid the security deposit? Li Xun is backed by the Zhen family, and no one dares to object. The common people have said that Jinling's surname is Zhen!"

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder the Supreme Emperor wants to chop off Li Xun's head, the nine clans who didn't punish Li's family are already benevolent by him.

Jinling is the land of Longxing, one of the two capitals of the Great Xia, and an important town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The common people say that Jinling's surname is Zhen, can the Supreme Emperor not kill chickens and monkeys?
If it hadn't been for the Supreme Emperor who really didn't want to send a white-haired man to a white-haired man in his twilight years, and didn't want the balance of his son to be strong and his father to decline, the purpose of Jia Cong's coming to Jinling today might be to go to the Zhen family to kill someone.

Seeing Jia Cong rubbing the handle of the Yanling Saber lost in thought, Xue Pan didn't bother him, lying on the edge of the window and watching the people coming and going downstairs.

Suddenly, he saw a middle-aged man with a girl about twelve or thirteen years old downstairs beside the steamed stuffed bun shop.

Because he was downstairs, and Xue Pan had excellent eyesight, he could see the situation downstairs at a glance.

Xue Pan watched the scene for a while, and said to himself: "Such a pretty girl is willing to plant grass, this father is really cruel... Hey, this girl has a red rouge between her eyebrows..."
