Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 51 Murderous Aura

"You evil beast! You are about to die and you still don't repent and kneel down!" Jia She pointed at Jia Cong and shouted.

In the minds of everyone, I have absolute authority to tell my son to kneel down. It does not require any reason. It is like a law of heaven and cannot be disobeyed. Unexpectedly, Jia Cong just looked at Jia She and smiled coldly, standing as tall as a green pine. , without the slightest intention of "kneeling down".

"There's no need to kneel down. Just use whatever means you have, Cong. I'll take all the orders." Jia Cong said, his tone as cold as ice and as hard as a knife.

"Brother Cong, don't be so presumptuous." The eldest lady finally couldn't stand it anymore and scolded.

Jia Cong glanced at her, with a disdainful smile on his lips.

Jia Mu frowned when she saw this. Brother Cong was too outrageous.

"You, you, have rebelled against heaven!" Jia She was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He shouted: "Come here, pull this rebellious, unfilial, disrespectful, disrespectful beast out of the house and kill him with a stick. !”

"Yes!" Someone was waiting outside the door and agreed, and four young men carrying sticks and ropes walked in. The first two were Dai'er and An who used to perform executions in the East Road Courtyard and whipped Jia Cong. Son.

"Get it for me." Jia She ordered.

Dai'er and An'er both went to Jia Cong to catch him with evil smiles. This was a business they had already mastered.

"Seeking death!" Jia Cong snorted coldly, and with a touch of his right hand, Qingluan was unsheathed.

There was just a clang sound, and the bright sword light flashed in his hand like a hook of the waning moon, and the bloody light burst out!
  ah! There was a scream in the hall. Dai'er and An'er had frightened faces. They clutched their throats and fell to the ground. Blood spurted out from between their fingers.

The other two young men were frightened when they saw that Jia Cong dared to kill two people in front of the court. They hurriedly threw away the stick and rope and shrank aside.

Jia Cong turned to look at Baochai and gave her a reassuring look. Then his wrist shook and the blood drops on the tip of the knife flew away. He looked at Jia She and said with a ferocious smile: "Master, with these rotten sweet potatoes, stinking A bird's egg wants to take my life. Is it too childish?

Forget it, I'll give you time, go outside and call all the young boys at home who can breathe, and see if I can kill them all! "

Hearing Jia Cong's murderous words, everyone in the hall was frightened, and the young girls were even more disfigured. Many girls collapsed on the ground, and Mr. Cong went crazy.

Jia She watched the two boys die in front of him, and was so frightened that he peed, "You, you, you are crazy! If you rebel against human ethics, aren't you afraid of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!"

Jia Cong laughed wildly and looked around at everyone, "If being cut with a thousand swords can scare people, are there people like Gao Li and Jing Ke in this world?"

As he spoke, he wiped the spotless blade and sighed: "Today, I can finally drink blood with my ancestral sword, so happy! Master, what else do you have to say?!"

Seeing that Jia Cong was crazy, Jia She dared to show off his master's record. He threw himself in front of Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, look at Brother Cong, he's crazy!"

Jia's mother had already seen that Jia Cong was no longer a soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others. She pushed him to the point where the lives of everyone present were in danger. He was going to die anyway, so what was he afraid of? Daishan is so confused, why did he choose such a rebellious person?

"Brother Cong, do you want to kill your father?" Jia Mu said in a deep voice.

"Cong doesn't dare. I just heard that tigers are poisonous and do not eat their children. If my father is poisoned by a tiger, then don't blame Cong for being rude." Jia Cong sneered and looked at Jia She: "If the eldest master wants to kill me, I'm afraid You have to ask the guy in my hand first.”

"The elder is just angry that you got into trouble and wants to teach you a lesson. Why do you do this? You really think I am dead." Jia Mu said.

Jia Cong was quite right. He sheathed his sword with a clang, bowed and said with a smile: "Cong has always admired the old lady for her good housekeeping and good parenting. How dare you ignore it? It was just a joke with the elder, but he didn't expect it. It's Cong's fault for being so timid."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become more relaxed, everyone looked at the two corpses on the ground and killed them as a joke? Believe it or not.

Mother Jia waved her hand and asked the servant to pull the body down and said, "Knowing that you have special skills now, you shouldn't make such a joke. How can human life be a trivial matter?"

"What the old lady taught me is that if you want to blame, blame the master." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"Bah, the more you talk about it, the less likely it is. What does it have to do with the master?"

"Who asked me to pass on such sharp sword skills to me, and leave me such a sharp sword? Cong just waved it casually, with no intention of killing. Besides, these two young men deserve to die, they don't understand that the great master With such a loving father's true intention, he dared to get involved with his master, and he deserves to die." Jia Cong said with an innocent look on his face, spreading his hands.

Mother Jia shook her head helplessly: "You are right, but how will the Qingyang Marquis incident end? You caused the trouble yourself, so don't expect your family to settle it for you."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "This is exactly what I want to say. If the master is willing to listen patiently, there will be no such misunderstanding."

"What do you want to say?" Mother Jia had a sad look on her face. She was worried about internal and external troubles. How come there was such a rebellious and unfilial "Jing Ke wanted to leave" in the family, but she still couldn't get rid of him. She was so old that she still had to Accompany Xu and Weisheng.

"After hearing this, the old lady will definitely turn her worries into joy." Jia Cong said.

Jia's mother spat: "You're still trying to sell things off."

"On the night when Brother Qianerzhen was killed, I was practicing swordsmanship outside the camp and met a girl. The tiger happened to follow me again, so I killed the tiger and saved the girl by the way. Do you know that girl? Who is it?" Jia Cong smiled. "Sister Bao, you are always smart, you may have guessed something." Jia Cong looked at Baochai and smiled at her.

Baochai had just calmed down from the shock, and saw the straightforward concern in Jia Cong's eyes. She quickly gathered her mind and said: "This girl can accompany you in the siege. I guess she must be from the palace, and brother Cong said it seriously..." "

"Either the imperial concubine or the princess." Lin Daiyu interjected. Just now she witnessed Jia Cong killing someone with her own eyes, and she almost fainted from fright. Later, she saw that Jia Cong was calm, and she recovered. At this time, she couldn't help but interrupt, feeling a little unconvinced. Is Baochai the only one smart?

Jia Cong nodded: "Miss Lin is very smart, and Cong admires her. I didn't expect it at the time, but later on when I returned to the camp, there was an angel's message saying that His Majesty had summoned her. Hehe."

Jia Mu and others were startled: "Why does Your Majesty see you?"

"It's not that big of a deal. I just saved Princess Ruyi from a tiger's mouth." Jia Cong said calmly.

"What? Princess Ruyi?"

"That woman is Princess Ruyi?" Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang and others asked in silence.

"Do you know each other?" Well, it seems that this little princess is quite famous, so I don't need to introduce her.

"This is the youngest princess of the Holy Emperor, and the only one who has not yet left the palace. The Holy Emperor has always loved her like a treasure, obeyed everything, and promised her everything will go well in her life, so she was given the title "Ruyi". Who knows?" Jia Mu said angrily.

Mrs. Wang also said: "I heard from the eldest girl in the palace that Princess Ruyi has been strong-tempered since she was a child and likes to dance with swords. Her mother died young and she was raised under the Queen's knees since she was a child. Because of her cleverness, liveliness, pure kindness and filial piety, The empress also treats her as her own child, loves her more than life, and treats her better than her legitimate son.

The emperor and the empress dowager also regarded it as the apple of their eyes. The people in the harem would rather offend the queen than dare to offend her. "

"Why is this? Could it be that the princess is more noble than the queen?" Tan Chunqi asked.

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said: "That's not true. It's just because the Queen is respectful to the world and has a mind as big as the sea. She doesn't care if the palace people make small mistakes. But if she offends Princess Ruyi, she can file a complaint casually, whether it's to the Holy Emperor or not. , the Queen, or the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, who can bear it?"

So it turned out that Jia Cong deeply felt that it was so wise for him to give in decisively.

"What happened next?" Jia Mu asked.

Suddenly I heard a report from outside, "Old lady, there is an angel outside delivering a message."

Everyone hurriedly got up and made preparations, setting up incense tables and cauldrons to burn incense. Everyone who had an official title or title knelt on the ground in the Hall of Honor and Jubilee.

"The Emperor, who is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, decrees: The court's kindness to scholars should not be more important than praise; the son of man should report his relatives' arrival, and should not be concerned about showing off. Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion has little courage and is not afraid of danger. He upholds the heroic spirit of his ancestors and inherits The beauty of family loyalty is to kill a tiger alone and to save the tiger. I would like to thank you for your kindness and give Er'en the title of Cavalry Lieutenant, and give Rongguo's wife a jade ruler to reward her for her service. I appreciate this."

Everyone happily saw off the eunuch and returned to Rongqing Hall.

"Brother Cong, has His Majesty given you a title?" The sisters surrounded Jia Cong and kept chattering.

Jia Cong laughed, pointed at the court clothes, seals, and edicts held in the girl's hands, and said, "It's guaranteed to be genuine."

The faces of Jia Mu and others finally thawed. Although this title was low, it was granted by the Holy Emperor Chrysostom, which was of great significance. Moreover, Jia Cong was still young and had a promising future. Moreover, with this saving power, even if Qingyang Hou had a hundred courage, he would not dare to cause trouble.

"Is the old lady happy now?" Jia Cong smiled and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Is there any good news?" Jia Mu smiled and said, "Don't tell me anything, just tell me."

"It's nothing. The Holy One heard that I didn't have a cousin, so he gave me one. It was used by the ancients." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"A gift from the Holy Spirit?" Everyone was surprised and happy.

"Brother Cong, why don't you tell me quickly and be careful." Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at him angrily. Brother Cong always likes to tell the truth, it's so annoying.

"Sister Bao is knowledgeable about the past and the present, guess what." Jia Cong ignored her and only teased Baochai.

Baochai glanced at everyone with a guilty look, his face turned slightly red, and said: "The Sacred Heart is as unpredictable as the abyss or the sea. How can a mortal guess it? Why don't you tell me quickly."

"It's Zilong."

Everyone froze for a moment.

Even a girl who has never read a book is familiar with the story of Zhao Zilong entering and exiting Changban Slope seven times and riding the savior alone. Now His Majesty has given him the nickname "Zilong", which shows his love for Jia Cong. It is conceivable that the expectations are high.

Obviously, he hopes that he can become a loyal minister and good general like Zhao Yun in the annals of history in the future!
