Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

On the day when Jia Rong's ship set off for Jinling, Mrs. Wang also sent her confidant's companion, Zhou Rui, to rush to Jinling at full speed.

"Ma'am, don't worry. Uncle Rong takes a water route, and it will take about a month to get to Jinling. My family rides a fast horse, and they travel day and night. It will arrive in seven or eight days. I will definitely be able to catch up." Before Uncle Rong passes by, I will take care of everything." Seeing the worried look on Mrs. Wang's face, Zhou Rui's family thought about it, and then spoke comfortingly.

Mrs. Wang sighed, and said: "How can I not be worried. What kind of temperament is Dong Fu Rong's son? You know it too. He is the most daring and ruthless one. Until now, Lai's daughter-in-law is lying on the bed paralyzed. Even his mother can't do anything about him? It's fine if he's really just for the grand master's life sacrifice this time. But if he's looking for trouble... Brother Rong has sharp eyes, he needs to know. Still don't know how to make a fuss?" Thinking of Jia Rong's methods, she couldn't help but tremble.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Zhou Rui's family was silent for a while, but they still comforted them: "Madam, don't worry. My son will come to Jinling in the early 20 days before Mr. Rong. He will definitely be able to settle the matter properly. Besides, there is Seventh Old Master over there, so there must be no problem."

"I just hope so." I don't know why?Since Mrs. Wang started from Zhou Rui, she felt very desperate, as if something big was going to happen.Feeling very uneasy, "From Zhou Rui's family, help me to the small Buddhist hall, I want to read a few scriptures."

Zhou Rui's family knew that if Mrs. Wang felt uneasy, she would go to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras for peace of mind.He responded and helped Mrs. Wang pass.

After Jia Rong came here, this was the first time she had left the capital. In the first few days, she was quite excited, and she would sit on the deck every day to see the scenery on the river. It's fresh for a few days.After this period of time, the novelty passed, and Jia Rong started her life in a small dwelling.

The days of sailing are actually very boring.

Because she couldn't practice on the boat, Jia Rong had relatively more free time.Of course, more time has passed, but it doesn't mean that Jia Rong has nothing to do.He didn't step out of his room for nearly seven or eight days, and even forgot to eat several times.This made Zhiqiu and Wu Ya very entangled, but thinking about Jia Rong's character, both of them stopped at the door hesitantly, you look at me, I look at you, let alone push the door in, just make a sound I dare not.

Before the uncle went in, he had already uttered harsh words.

No one is allowed to disturb her.Otherwise, just jump into the river by yourself.

When the uncle said this, although he was smiling, let alone Zhiqiu and Wuya with first-class eyesight, even ordinary servants could hear it. What the uncle said was absolutely true.If someone really dares to make trouble, then the uncle will definitely throw him into the river.

On the evening of the tenth day, Jia Rong finally walked out of the room with a smile on his face, holding a small celadon bottle in his hand.

"Master, what is this?" Zhiqiu looked at the celadon bottle in Jia Rong's hand and asked with a strange intuition.

Jia Rong had a slightly weird smile on her lips, raised the porcelain bottle in her hand, and said, "This, this is a rare and good thing. It took me a lot of effort to make it. There is only such a small bottle."

"Green poison marrow." It is made from seven different kinds of most poisonous substances. It is dispersed into the air with internal force. As long as it is inhaled or touched by the skin, it can kill people invisible.

When Zhiqiu heard the name, she resolutely stopped asking.Although she doesn't recognize this green poison marrow?It was also the first time she had heard of this name, but she clearly knew that the green poison marrow that this uncle was talking about would definitely not be a good thing?She is also studying medical science, although she is not as advanced as the uncle, but she is not too bad.In addition, the uncle usually likes to tinker with some weird things.This time going south, what they brought the most was not food and clothing, but uncle's various bottles and jars, as well as various kinds of herbs, and most of them were poisonous, such as heartbroken grass and the like.Every time the ship docks to refill, the uncle will also tell her to go to the pharmacy with Wu Ya to find some herbs.

Based on these, she thought, this green poison marrow is probably the same as the 'peacock gall' that the uncle prepared earlier, it is a kind of poison.

I just don't know how effective this green poison marrow is?Thinking of the efficacy of the peacock gall last time, just one drop was enough to kill a person, Zhiqiu said that she was also somewhat curious about the green poison marrow.

"Zhiqiu, send someone to find some live fish." Jia Rong said.

Zhiqiu knew that the uncle was using live fish to test the efficacy of the green poison marrow, so he immediately nodded excitedly, and prepared not to mention it.

What she didn't expect was that she commanded a servant to bring a few lively carp over in a wooden basin, when she heard a loud noise.

Jia Rong was pulling the plug, so she also stopped, and listened quietly for a while, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Zhengchou wants to try the medicinal properties of this green poison marrow, you guys Just ran into it. There is a way to heaven if you don’t go, and there is no way to hell for you to break in.” Then he lifted his foot and walked out of the door.

When Zhiqiu saw him, he immediately followed Jia Rong excitedly and went out together.

When Jia Rong went out, he saw that the guards he had brought had already surrounded the boat, and Wu Ya brought a few people standing on the deck.On the opposite side, less than ten meters away, there were several boats parked, each with a black flag on it, and a jumping carp was printed on the flag.On the leading boat, there were more than a dozen fierce men with swords and swords.

Seeing Jia Rong coming out, Wu Ya immediately took two steps back behind Jia Rong, bowed and said, "Master."

"This is a river thief?" The so-called river thief is a thief who specializes in looting houses on the river.

Wu Ya immediately replied: "Going back to my lord, this is the scorpion fish. They are the most vicious existence on this river. They are erratic and often seen in remote places. They like to rob the ships of rich and powerful people the most, and their methods are ferocious. In this robbery, almost all the dogs were spared. After killing people and looting things, they burned the boat. The government sent troops many times to encircle and suppress them, but because of their cunning, the number of them was not large, so they had to end up in the end. "

Jia Rong's eyes lit up when she heard the words, "It's just the right time." Just to try the properties of her new medicine?

As the boats got closer and closer, they stopped at a distance of five or six meters, and saw a minion coming out of it, and shouted: "Leave all the valuable things on the boat and the beautiful maid, Lao Tzu!" I will spare your lives. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being cruel.”

At this time, because the sky had already darkened, the torches were also lifted up, illuminating the entire river.

Jia Rong's ears moved suddenly, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she flipped her fingers. Jia Rong threw a few small blood-colored pills into the river, and they melted in the water. In this place, it spreads all around.

With just one breath, seven or eight people gradually emerged from around Jia Rong's boat, their faces turned up, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive?Judging by their attire, you can tell that they are in the same group as the giant squid in front of you.

Jia Rong nodded in satisfaction, it seems that the medicine is more effective than she imagined.

Seeing this situation, Jia Rong could clearly see that the expressions of those Jiang thieves changed drastically.

Since this carp is a river thief, it must be familiar with water, otherwise, can it come and go on this river without a trace?Just when the person shouted, she vaguely heard a knocking sound, and after thinking about it carefully, she knew what the sound was?

Just in the past few days, besides the green poison marrow, she has also concocted many other good things. She was still worrying about how to test the properties of the medicine.Are you afraid that the efficacy of the medicine will not be tested with animals?Now there is no need to worry. Aren't these river thieves just ready-made experimental products?

Without any further hesitation, Jia Rong flipped her hands over and hit the thumb-sized celadon bottles one after another, using her inner strength, to hit the Jiang thief's boats one by one.

The celadon bottle seemed to have eyes, and flew to those ships one by one, and then, the bottle exploded with a bang.

Afterwards, a scent of orchids slowly permeated the air. Jia Rong turned her head and quickly stuffed a pill into each of Wuya and Zhiqiu's mouths, "This is the solution to the problem." Medicine, take it." He said and threw one into his mouth.

After a cup of tea, all the Jiang thieves, including Jia Rong herself, had already collapsed limply on the boat except for her and Wu Ya Zhiqiu who had taken the antidote.

Jia Rong took out a white porcelain bottle from her cuff, handed it to Zhiqiu, and said, "The pills here are one for each person."

Zhiqiu took the porcelain vase, nodded, and went to Wu Ya to get busy without mentioning it.

After about a cup of tea, the people on Jia Rong's boat also stood up again after taking the antidote.Jia Rong said to Wu Ya: "Go, tie up those river thieves and lock them to a boat."

Wu Ya led people to take orders without mentioning it.

"It's all done?" Jia Rong asked after taking a leisurely bite of a bowl of porridge that was still steaming.

Wu Ya nodded: "It's all done to return to the master. A total of 56 people have been tied up and locked on the boat according to the master's request."

Jia Rong nodded, and asked again: "Those people in the river, have they been salvaged?" Those people were just poisoned, but they didn't die.Jia Rong asked Wu Ya to fish them out and throw them into the Jiang thief's boat together.He asked Wu Ya to sprinkle the antidote into the river.The poison she dropped just now was Red Sun Drunk. As the name suggests, after being poisoned, one's body would become lighter, just like getting drunk, and after seven days, one would die unconsciously.

"Master, among those Jiang thieves, I found a very familiar person." Wu Ya said again.

Jia Rong frowned, "Who?"

"Lai Shangrong." Wu Ya replied with a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

The corner of Jia Rong's mouth twitched, and a sneer appeared: "Nurse Lai's grandson, Da Lai's eldest son."

Lai Shangrong, how could she not know.As soon as Lai Shangrong fell from his mother's womb, he was deprived of his slave status and became a free man.In Lai's house, he also lived a life like a son and son. He was raised by maids, mothers-in-law and nanny like a phoenix since he was a child.He even hired a master since he was a child, studied and practiced calligraphy, and walked the way of an official.It's just that this family has been slaves for generations, even if they are released from slavery and become commoners, they will not be allowed to take the imperial examination within three generations.

But no matter who made his fate, the Rongguo Mansion was behind him. Whether it was his grandmother or his father, they were extremely trusted by Jia's mother.Therefore, at the age of last year, Meng's Jiamu sent people to manage, donated a future, and sought a position as the head of the county government.Coincidentally, the place where he works is Huaxi County, which is just on the border of Jinling.

Now, their ship will have at most two days to reach the boundary of Jinling.

It seems that the reason why they are missed by this group of people this time is probably not an accident.I just don't know if this is just the actions of Lai's family behind Jia's mother's back, or whether Jia's mother conspired with him, or if Jia's mother is waiting for the fisherman's profit to kill with a knife.

Thinking of what she let her investigate indefinitely, Jia Rong felt that the possibility was very high, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's go and see you."
