Chapter 363 People's Heart
"So, I really want to know who this person is. He has such a big grudge against my Jia family that he wants to kill everyone in my Jia family."
The expressions of the old lady and Wang Xifeng changed drastically, and Mrs. Wang was even more terrified. It was just a matter of teaching that little bitch a lesson, why would she even have to sacrifice her own life?
"You...you...you don't have anything to do with the family affairs, why are you so sensational!"
"Sensational?" Jia Cong sneered, "Old lady, do you also think I am sensational?"
Grandmother Jia's expression changed. This matter was not a big deal, nor a small one. If it was suppressed, the royal family would naturally not make a fuss about these trivial matters. However, if they really followed the rules, what Jia Cong said was not sensational. After all, this was a matter of the royal family's reputation and was of no trivial importance.
"Grandson, let's just keep this matter to ourselves!" Grandmother Jia sighed softly.
"Suppress it?" Jia Cong sneered, "It can't be suppressed. If we can't find out who is behind this, won't the reputation fall on Sister Bao? Therefore, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. Anyone who dares to harm my Jia family should be torn into pieces and their skin and bones pulled out!"
Madam Wang collapsed on the chair. After a while, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's a good thing that this matter can't be traced back to me. What can he do?"
"But even if we investigate this kind of thing, we can't find the root cause..."
"Don't worry, old lady. Since our old immortal has such a great reputation, he must have some means. If humans can't find any traces, maybe the immortal can. Old lady, don't worry about this matter. Leave everything to me."
"Second sister-in-law, go and call everyone in our family over. Today, I will see if this god or Buddha is effective! Ask someone to invite Second Brother Bao and Second Master over as well. There is no need to hide this kind of thing ."
After saying that, Jia Cong stood up and said, "Old lady, I will go ask the old immortal first and come back in a while. "
After Jia Cong left, the old lady pondered for a moment, "Some people are always too smart! You must know that even if they do things secretly, they cannot escape the eyes of gods and Buddhas. Feng girl, go and tell everyone that if anyone admits to this, I will plead with Congge'er for mercy. At most, I will send him away from the mansion, which may save his life. But if it is found out, according to my grandson's temper, I am afraid that several lives will be lost."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng hurried away.
About half an hour later, Jia Cong and Taoist Zhang came in a line.
All the other people in the mansion, whether they were servants or masters, had gathered at the old lady's place.
The Great Illusionary was unwilling. How could a monk like him be willing to get involved in such a matter in the harem? Moreover, if he was found out, wouldn't he be blamed? However, the gods also have concerns, right? Facing a powerful first-class marquis, what could he do? He could only do as Jia Cong said.
Jia Cong glanced at everyone, then smiled and said, "Old lady, you see, I told you that our old immortal has some extraordinary skills."
"This box is called Tongxin. There is a strange stone in it that can sense whether a person has done something. As long as a person places his palm on the strange stone in the box for three or five breaths, he can find out the whole story. And please rest assured, the old immortal is not a gossipy person. Apart from investigating this matter, the gods and Buddhas don't have that much time to know other things. Now, who will try first?"
"I'll do it!" Jia Zheng was the first to speak. It was really embarrassing for him to have such a thing happen in his family! If he found out, he would have to beat Jia Cong severely to vent his anger.
Jia Cong said to everyone present, "I will tell you one last time. If anyone can take the initiative to come forward, I will spare his life for the sake of the old lady. But if I find out, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Seeing that no one spoke, Jia Cong turned to Jia Zheng and said, "Then let the second master go first ?"
Jia Zheng reached in without hesitation, and after a few breaths, he withdrew his hand. Taoist Zhang immediately said, "The second master has a pure heart, so he is certainly not a wicked person."
"Second Master, please go out first to avoid confusion when there are too many people!" After saying that, Jia Cong asked the female guard beside him to take Jia Zheng out.
Seeing that Jia Zheng was safe and sound, most people present felt relieved.
Then, Daiyu stood up and said, "Third brother, I'll do it!"
As Daiyu stood up, several girls came over one by one.
Seeing Baochai with red and swollen eyes, Jia Cong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sister Bao, I will take care of everything. Let alone someone playing tricks, even if the King of Hell comes, what do I have to fear? In a few days, His Majesty will arrange a marriage for me, Sister Bao, just wait."
If it was any other time, Jia Cong would not have said this openly. However, since something like this happened today, he naturally wanted to reassure Baochai and also to stop some people with bad intentions from thinking about it.
Baoyu, who was standing by, wanted to rebuke Jia Cong, but the old lady held his hand tightly, "Baoyu, stop talking nonsense!"
Hearing the old lady's words, Baoyu gritted his teeth and glared at Jia Cong. He was a bastard, and he wanted to marry Baochai?
Baochai looked at Jia Cong with red eyes and nodded vigorously.
Behind the group of girls, the maids, big and small, naturally followed without hesitation!
There were fewer and fewer people. At this moment, an old lady walked towards the box step by step. It took her a while to reach the box.
After he put his hand in, he quickly took it out. Taoist Zhang narrowed his eyes and was about to speak, but Jia Cong beside him smiled and said, "Molan, take the nanny out too!"
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest quickly shut up!
In the end, only a few old ladies were left. Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Youshi and others naturally did not hesitate. Aunt Xue was even more impatient. Even the old lady reached her hand in directly.
"Second Madam, you don't have any guilty conscience, do you? You dare not do it!" Jia Cong said to Wang with a smile.
Mrs. Wang said hurriedly, "Who has a guilty conscience? What am I afraid of?"
After saying that, he reached into the box and then pulled his hand back.
Jia Cong then nodded in satisfaction, but he tore the box open, revealing a piece of skin that had been rubbed by many people until it was shiny.
"Old immortal, it seems that even gods and Buddhas cannot defeat the human heart!" Jia Cong said to the immortal Dahuan who was standing beside him. The immortal Dahuan smiled bitterly. This marquis had a terrible mind and had a perfect grasp on people's hearts.
"I just gave this box a name casually! It's absurd to say that gods and Buddhas can communicate with each other. However, if you have nothing to hide , you won't worry about anything. Only those who have evil intentions will hesitate."
"Then, Second Madam, can you tell me why you dare not touch it? But you have evil in your heart?"
