Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Chapter 20 Meeting Qi Shengao

Just after noon, hundreds of officers and soldiers surrounded the horse farm tightly, and no one in the horse farm was allowed to enter or leave.

Looking at this posture, Zhang Dian waited, knowing that a catastrophe was imminent, each of them was unable to stand up because their legs were weak, they comforted each other with their eyes, and sat on the stool and waited.

Just after noon, Qi Shengao entered the door wearing a sable high-collared cloak. He walked in the wind, and the cloak behind him flew up.On the left and right sides behind him, eight guards in armor joined the leadership.All the participants held their sabers at their waists, their faces were ferocious, as if they could swing their sabers to cut people at any time.Behind them were dozens of guards with knives.

Qi Shengao did not enter the house, but suddenly stopped in the middle of the courtyard.He raised his eyebrows and glanced sharply at the horse farm officials who greeted him.

The faces of the officials were flustered, and they were already scared to death by this momentum.

"It seems that you have heard the news, Lord An's horse..." Qi Shengao said in the middle of his cold words, and reached out to take a note from a leader, "Who wrote it? Stand up now! "

Before the words could finish, Yan Liang had already walked out.

The moment Qi Shengao saw Yan Liang, his eyes narrowed in surprise.He strode into the house with big strides, except for the guards who accompanied him, he only called Yan Liang to enter the house.

After a while, the chief bookkeeper Yuan Hanzai was also called in.

Zhang Dianshi and the others found that things were getting more and more strange, their hearts were hanging, and they shrank their necks to stand still and did not dare to move.

Qi Shengao sneered twice after hearing Yan Liang's rational and well-founded explanation, and Yuan Hanzai's corroboration.

"You said that you are a soft-spoken person, and the situation was critical at that time, so you had to hide the note you prepared earlier in the saddle?"

Yan Liang blinked and recognized it.

Qi Shengao even found it funny: "Jia Yanliang, do you think I'm brainless? Are you soft-spoken?"

Seeing this, Yuan Hanzai moved his lower lip.He wanted to help Yan Liang explain, but he was really afraid of the aura of Lord Qi.

Qi Shengao had already noticed Yuan Hanzai's small actions, and asked by name: "Yuan Hanzai, do you have something to say?"

When Yuan Hanzai heard that Mr. Qi remembered his name, he was quite panicked, and hurriedly and honestly confessed Yan Liang's situation in the horse factory during these days.

"My lord, Jia Xieling really puts his heart into working in the horse farm every day, but he is misunderstood, ridiculed, and even excluded by many people. There is something strange in the stables. Thanks to Jia Xieling's careful observation, he was able to discover the situation. He discovered the situation this morning. When something goes wrong, it’s already urgent and it’s hard to stop it. It’s really useless for Xiaguan to talk to him at the racecourse, but he can’t just watch the tragedy happen, fortunately he can think of a way to remind him with an anonymous note.”

"Hmph!" Qi Shengao sent away Yuan Hanzai and the guards, leaving Yan Liang alone.He was silent at first, but after a while, he got up suddenly, pointed at the tip of Yan Liang's nose and cursed, "You can send someone to notify me, but you came up with such a method, what purpose do you have, to frame me? It caused King An's attention." Notice?"

"Master Qi's words, the lower officials don't understand." Yan Liang really didn't understand.

"Just pretend, plot against me!" Qi Shen glared at Yan Liang fiercely.

Yan Liang: "I don't understand, this is just a note reminding the rider to be careful, how can it be calculated on you, my lord?"

"That's because I—" Qi Shengao was stunned for a moment, then calmed down suddenly, and sat back on the top seat.He was too surprised to see Yan Liang just now, and lost his mind for a while.This white horse was suggested to the Seventh Prince to ride to enjoy the snow scenery on a temporary basis. In Yan Liang's situation, it was impossible for him to know that he was the one who made the suggestion at that time.

Who would that be?

Qi Shengao immediately asked Yan Liang to take him to the scene.Yan Liang showed him the black carbon wall and the cinnabar footprints.

Qi Shengao learned that Yuan Hanzai had searched for two suspicious servants under Yan Liang's instruction, and asked Yan Liang to hand them over to him immediately.Yan Liang hesitated for a while, looked at Qi Shengao suspiciously, and nodded his head just before Qi Shengao was about to collapse.

Qi Shengao was full of anger, he shook his finger helplessly and pointed at Yan Liang, suddenly he had nothing to say.Afterwards, he sent someone to quietly take the two guards away from the back door of the horse factory, while he himself left majestically through the main door of the horse factory.

Empress Yuan Hanzai asked Yan Liang fearfully: "Could he be the mastermind behind the scenes? Then if we hand him over like this, isn't it the end?"

"He's not." Yan Liang affirmed.

Seeing that Yan Liang was so determined, Yuan Hanzai scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions.

When Yan Liang went back, Zhang Dianshi and others looked at him curiously.At first no one dared to say anything, but after Zhang Dianshi's signal, the two directors approached Yan Liang in a good-tempered manner to inquire about the news.Yan Liang's attitude was cold and he didn't respond at all.

This aroused Zhang Dianshi's dissatisfaction, so he came directly to question Yan Liang.But no matter how much he yelled, Yan Liang couldn't get Yan Liang to look him in the eye.

Zhang Dian was still slapping the table to threaten, Yan Liang took two books, got up and left.

He had the guts to leave early even though it wasn't time to release the value!

Zhang Dian was so angry that he really wanted to report to his superiors and replace Yan Liang.But at this juncture, it was lucky that they could escape the matter of King An, and he would dare to trouble Yan Liang again, so he could only hold back his anger for the time being, and wait anxiously for the disposition from above.

When Jia Zheng heard that something had happened to the Stable Animal Husbandry Department, he was the first one to tell Mrs. Wang when he got home.Mrs. Wang is busy with her nephew Jia Lian's marriage these two days.The Jia family has signed a letter of engagement with the Wang family, and they have confirmed this happy event of getting married.Now there is another incident. Thinking about the desolation of the master of Dongfu, Mrs. Wang almost called it "Double Happiness".

"My wife's opinion, if my brother really committed the crime of murdering the prince, do you think our Rong Mansion can escape safely?" Jia Zheng frowned, very worried.

Mrs. Wang was surprised: "You can't make such a big fuss, I think it's probably a crime of dereliction of duty."

"It's better to send someone to ask your brother." Jia Zheng said.

Mrs. Wang thought about it, so she sent Zhou Rui to Wang Ziteng's place.After thinking about it, I felt something was wrong, and discussed with Jia Zheng: "Shouldn't I ask myself the best about this matter? Why don't you go to him?"

Jia Zheng frowned: "You don't know what I am with him now? I am too lazy to go!"

After all, Jia Zheng went to greet Jia Mu.Mrs. Wang came later, she was not reconciled to that, she told Jia Mu about it.When Jia Mu heard it, she became angry and wanted to ask Yan Liang for an argument.But with the previous incident as an example, this time she didn't dare to easily ask Yan Liang.So I still trouble Mrs. Wang to go to her mother's house to inquire about it, and make a decision after confirming the news.

On the second day, news came from Wang Ziteng that Prince An was just frightened when he came back from the hunting ground, and he was safe and sound.

Only then did Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang heave a sigh of relief.

"However, my uncle said that someone in the horse farm did something secretly, and they are suspected of murdering the prince. This matter is top secret, Lord Qi is currently investigating, and the news is really difficult to inquire about." Zhou Rui continued.

Mother Jia's heart was raised again, she and Mrs. Wang exchanged glances, and knew that the key to this matter was still in Ning's mansion.

Mother Jia held her breath and endured it until evening, when she finally couldn't bear it anymore.But this time she changed the route and sent Jia She to Ningfu to find out the news.

Yan Liang just came back from Prince An's mansion and was interrogated by the prince. He was feeling tired when he saw Jia She standing in the Fulu hall with a smile to welcome him.Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son, were also there, laughing together.

Yan Liang suddenly felt that this family seemed to be a little too positive, seeing these men smiling at him, he would not be in a good mood at all.

Jia Rong recited the article he had just learned, Jia Zhen reported his homework for today, and Yan Liang told them father and son to leave one by one.

When it was Jia Amnesty's turn, he couldn't stop talking, "Let me tell you, the niece she married Lian'er was very hot. The old lady praised her for being straightforward, capable, and smart. , but I think she is a shrew, she is a shrew! But she respects Wang Shi very much, tell me, isn't this telling my son to marry her Wang Shi's eyeliner back? The worst thing is, they plan to call Lian'er Cheng After marriage, I lived in their Rongxi Hall, saying it was convenient for the Wang family's housekeeper."

"It's the daughter-in-law's duty to be filial to her parents-in-law. You can't let this matter. If they insist, you can ask the patriarch to judge." Yan Liang said.

Jia She thought so, and nodded joyfully.As for what Jia's mother told him to ask, he didn't ask. In fact, he knew how Brother Jing would reply to him, so why bother him.Jia Amnesty made up his own mind and made up a reason to reject Jia's mother.

Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng couldn't do anything about it. Although they learned to be smart this time, they didn't ask Yan Liang to ask for trouble.But just enduring it like this, making them suspicious every day, is really suffering, making their daily lives very uncomfortable.

Regarding the matter of Jia Lian's post-marital residence, Jia Amnesty was timid and did not dare to argue with Jia's mother, so he directly told Jia Lian that he must live with him.Jia Lian wanted to be filial to his aunt, so of course he didn't want to hear this, so he went to sue Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang told Jia Mu, and Jia Mu asked Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty couldn't do it, so he simply moved Jia Jing out, and said stubbornly: "I'm not convinced about this matter, if it doesn't work, I'll ask the patriarch to make a decision!"

As soon as Jia Jing was mentioned, Jia's mother became even more angry: "You think you have a backer, but I dare not call him? He just came, and I feel the same way."

In the evening, Yan Liang was invited to the Rong Mansion.

After hearing what had happened, Yan Liang smiled and said: "It's common sense for a daughter-in-law to respect her parents-in-law. How can a newly married daughter-in-law live in the aunt's room? As for the inconvenient housekeeper, Lu Yuan, etc., I think they are all excuses. Can you be exhausted by walking a few more steps every day? What's the point of delay!"

Jia's mother never expected that Yan Liang would care about such a small matter in Rongfu's family, she stared at him in shock, and murmured "You...you..." in a low voice, she was so angry that she couldn't follow up.Because Yan Liang brought out his identity as the patriarch,

On Mrs. Wang's side, an unfilial name was brought up, so how could she dare to justify it.Wang Xifeng is the daughter of the Wang family, if she is accused of unfilial piety, even she herself will be disgraced.It is indeed common sense for a daughter-in-law to respect her parents-in-law, but this principle does not make sense anywhere.

Mrs. Wang immediately covered her handkerchief in a crying state, and choked up with Jiamu, "It's all my fault. At that time, I just wanted to let the child live closer to you, so that it would be convenient for them to be filial, and it would be convenient for the young couple to move around as housekeepers. But I forgot the feelings of the elder brother, it is really wrong. Mother, I will give you a good apology!"

"I don't blame you, I also think there's nothing wrong with these two children who live closer together. It's not filial to me if you stop me like this!" Mother Jia wiped her tears angrily.

The name of unfilial piety was deducted.

Mrs. Wang proudly glanced at Jia She and Yan Liang from the corner of her eye, this time she wanted to see how they ended up.

"It's easy to solve, just ask Brother She to move to Rongxi Hall."
