Having experienced countless conspiracies and calculations in the last days, Jia She's vigilance is far higher than ordinary people.Even if it was such a good thing as promotion, Jia She could still smell a hint of danger from the slightest abnormality.
I carefully recalled the original work, but it is still several years before the opening of the Red Mansion, so naturally I can't spoil anything.Jia She was never one to sit still, since he couldn't find any clues from the original book, Jia She decided to find out by himself.
Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty changed his clothes and went to the end of Ningrong Street.
Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty was in vain this time, there was no one in Zuo Liang's small building.
Jia She frowned slightly, and went back to Rongguo Mansion to lead the horse, not even the servant, and went to the street.Jia Amnesty thought for a while, and went outside the west gate first.
In ancient times, communication was underdeveloped, and news was passed on by word of mouth.The channels for transmitting news are either contacting each other among high-ranking households to transmit official news, or market gossip to transmit private news.
Jia Shen himself had a bad reputation, and he offended his two official relatives, the historian and the Wang family. Jia Shen didn't expect to get first-hand information about the officialdom, so Jia Shen went to the teahouse outside the city gate. .
There are many and mixed people coming and going in the teahouse outside the city gate, but one advantage is that there is a large flow of people.Whether they are coming out of the capital or entering Beijing from other provinces, they all gather here, and they can often hear some first-hand news from inside and outside the province.
Jia Amnesty went into the teahouse and ordered a pot of tea, but because he was dressed luxuriously and looked good, no one came forward to set a table with him.But it doesn't matter, Jia She's wind blade is getting stronger day by day, and his hearing is also getting better and better. While drinking tea, he pays attention to what everyone in the teahouse is saying.Useful and useless, you can always hear some news.
"Have you heard that Master Shen's house in Baoding Mansion was stolen?" Jia Amnesty heard a man behind him say.
No need for Jia She to turn around, another man with a hoarse voice said again: "What's so strange about this? As long as there are thieves in this world, they will steal things, and naturally there will be people who steal."
At the beginning, the man said again: "The theft from Master Shen's mansion is different this time, not to mention that there are many guards with high martial arts skills in Master Shen's house, according to the neighbors of Master Shen, no one saw anyone coming from Master Shen's house Move things up and out."
The hoarse man laughed when he heard this: "I said, Mr. Wu, which thief would steal something and pass by the street swaggeringly, and be seen and recognized by others? If so, then Not stealing but robbing."
The man named Wu Laosan lowered his voice again: "This is because you are ignorant. The strange thing is that it is strange here. What was stolen from Mr. Shen's house was not a single thing. Boxes of gold and silver and antique calligraphy and paintings were lost. Even They also lost a few pairs of large Ru kiln vases that are as tall as a person. If only a few ingots of gold and silver were lost, it would be difficult to detect, but with so many things lost, no one saw them. Isn't it strange?
Master Shen not only reported to the official, but also invited monks and Taoists to practice at home.There are rumors that: The snitch who stole Master Shen's house has sorcery, using the method of five ghosts to transport it, so no one even saw it. "
When Jia Amnesty heard this, he was still drinking his tea slowly, without even moving an eyebrow.But I was extremely surprised in my heart: Is there another person in this world who possesses the same space as himself?The things of the Shen family were also taken into the space?
The man with a hoarse voice said again: "It's a bit strange for you to say that. But it may not be some kind of strange thing. I don't know if it's not the people of Shen's house who are guarding and stealing."
The man named Wu Laosan said again: "If the Shen family has several brothers, your theory is also possible, but Mr. Shen has only one only son under his knees, and he has no brothers to fight for the family property. Who would waste his time stealing his own things?" What’s more, no matter who stole it, small items can be taken out of the house, but the big things and the big boxes can’t disappear without anyone seeing it.”
The man with a hoarse voice was still dissatisfied, he pondered for a while and said: "If it wasn't for Mr. Shen, he either lost the bet, or he gave away his things long ago after he raised a foreign house, and now he only reports to the official when he sees that the paper can't cover the fire. I never believed there were any snitches that were invisible to the human eye."
Baoding Mansion is not far from the capital, but only three to five days away.The people who came and went from south to north in this teahouse, probably passed through Baoding, maybe they heard people talking about it, and many people knew about it.
Wu Laosan argued with the hoarse man, and many people interjected that they had heard about it.And the tone was quite mysterious, exaggerating the matter into a monstrous atmosphere, turning a good theft case into a story of Liaozhai.
Although Baoding is not far or close to the capital city, and the Shen family in Baoding has nothing to do with him, Jia She always feels that this matter seems to have something to do with his sudden entry into the household department.
Afterwards, Jia Amnesty heard no more useful news. The ancients had few pastimes, and even chatted with great interest. The people in a teahouse, speaking with northern and southern accents, revolved around how to steal big things without being seen. discussed.
Of course, some of them were familiar with the affairs of the capital, saying that such a big case had happened in Rongguo Mansion, and that none of the lost items had been recovered for several months.
Some people worry that if such a snitch occurs, their property will become unsafe.Of course, as soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of laughter, saying that your family's property is worth a penny of the Shen family in Rongguo Mansion and Baoding Mansion in the capital?Even if you don't lock the door, that trick won't attract such a powerful snitch.
These are all news of little use to Jia She. Jia She took out a small piece of broken silver and put it on the side of the teapot. Just as he was about to get up and walk out of the teahouse, he keenly heard the sound of a carriage stopping.
If it weren't for the enhancement of the five senses after the supernatural power was enhanced, Jia She would not be able to discover official affairs while sitting in the tea shed.
Jia Amnesty didn't show it on his face, but when he got up, he purposely turned half a circle and looked at the table behind him from the corner of his eye.
Jia She quickly scanned and saw about six or seven people sitting at that table, still happily talking about the theft from the Shen family in Baoding.
Why did the carriage stop when it passed the teahouse?Although there were many possibilities, Jia She felt that the most likely one was that the people in the carriage knew what was happening in the teahouse at this moment.In other words, about the theft of the Shen family, the people in the carriage ordered the group of people named Wu Laosan to release the news here.
Thinking of this, Jia She got up and followed the carriage.
In the last days, Jia Amnesty had already cultivated to the point of flying with the wind.When he first crossed, Jia She's wind ability was weakened a lot, it was only enough to cut off candles.But after several months of hard work, although Jia She still doesn't have the ability to fly against the wind, his feet are lighter than ordinary people.According to Jia Shen's own estimate, in the world of martial arts, he can be regarded as a person with good lightness kung fu.
In order to prevent being discovered, Jia Amnesty did not ride a horse, but followed on foot.
Jia Amnesty followed the carriage for several blocks, and finally, the carriage stopped beside Yunshang Building in the east of the city.Although Jia Amnesty is not familiar with Yunshanglou, the original body is a frequent visitor here.This is a very famous brothel in the capital. There are all kinds of beauties in it, ranging from girls from the south of the Yangtze River to beauties from the north country, fat people, swallows and thin, spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums.
According to the original body's memory, Jia She recalled the pattern of Yun Shanglou, but he didn't rush in.
Hearing about the theft from the Shen family in Baoding, Jia Amnesty didn't dare to be careless. Maybe he was not the only person with supernatural powers in the world of Red Chamber, so Jia Amnesty followed the carriage very carefully.
Chasing all the way from Chengxi to the east of the city, it took a lot of time.Back at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty first asked the concierge to send a message that Lin Zhixiao send someone to fetch the horse from the teahouse outside the west gate; then he returned to his house.
Jia She doesn't like to use servants to wait on him, and Jia She's house in the East Court doesn't need people to be on duty.But when Jia Amnesty walked to the door of the house, he keenly sensed that there were people in the house.
Frowning slightly, Jia Amnesty held the wind blade on his fingertips before stepping inside.
At the same time, Zuo Liang, who was on the beam inside the house, heard someone entering, and thought that Jia Amnesty had finally returned, and just breathed a sigh of relief.Immediately afterwards, I heard the footsteps of people outside paused slightly.
Zuo Liang immediately tensed every nerve, and his right hand went deep into the boot to hold the handle of the dagger.Zuo Liang has followed Jia Daishan for many years, and knows that the two sons under the Duke's knees are not practicing martial arts, but people outside can even detect his own breath, obviously he is a master.So the person who came in wasn't Jia She, who could it be?
Jia She didn't know that because he stopped for a moment, Zuo Liang noticed something was wrong. After entering the room, he saw a person descending from the sky like a roc.
Fortunately, after time-traveling, Jia Amnesty did not dare to slacken even a single moment of practice in the past few months, and his agility has increased by more than ten times compared to when he first time-traveled.Jia Amnesty took his left foot as the axis, stepped out with his right foot, stood on the ground and turned half a circle, narrowly avoiding the sharp edge of the dagger, and already saw that it was Zuo Liang who was attacking him.
Zuo Liang is highly skilled in martial arts, but the limit of his body is not as good as that of Jia She, who has supernatural powers, so Zuo Liang's five senses are slightly worse than Jia She.In addition, knowing that Jia Amnesty does not know martial arts, Zuo Liang is highly nervous, only thinking that this person who comes in and dodges properly must be uneasy and kind, Zuo Liang does not leave any room in his hand, seeing a dagger stabbing in the air, the next move is...
Just as Jia Amnesty's right foot stabilized, he saw the dagger in Zuo Liang's hand wrapping around his throat like a poisonous snake spitting out letters; he hurriedly straddled his left foot, avoiding Zuo Liang's attack at an incredible angle.
At this moment, Zuo Liang saw clearly that it was Jia She who came in, and hurriedly stopped the attack and said, "My lord!"
Zuo Liang didn't know when Jia She had learned such a skill, but now was not the time to be curious, he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if the master is back, if Zuo offends, please forgive me."
Although the servants of Rongguo Mansion were sold out by Jia She, Jia She still felt that the people in the mansion were too talkative, and when looking for Zuo Liang on weekdays, Jia She personally went to the small building where Zuo Liang lived at the end of Ningrong Street.Zuo Liang would not come to his room if it was not important.Jia She waved his hands to show that it was okay, but he asked, "Why is the third master coming to the East courtyard at this time?"
Zuo Liang was taken aback by this question, out of a soldier's intuition, and because Jia She gave him the 20 taels before, Zuo Liang felt that something might be related to Jia She, so he came to look for Jia She, but he didn't want Jia She to go out went.
After a while of thinking, Zuo Liang said: "Master, some brothers heard that the Shen family in Baoding Mansion and Wu'an Hou Wei's house were stolen, and the method of the theft was the same as ours. The things were lost, the locks were not broken, and no witnesses saw them. They just disappeared out of thin air. generally."
When Jia Amnesty heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
I carefully recalled the original work, but it is still several years before the opening of the Red Mansion, so naturally I can't spoil anything.Jia She was never one to sit still, since he couldn't find any clues from the original book, Jia She decided to find out by himself.
