Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

Yan Liang strode away.

Jia She hurriedly followed and asked him how things were going.

"Success or failure depends on what your old lady thinks. But if she dares to disagree, I will really dare to remove your second brother from the family tree." Yan Liang paused, then laughed, "Your second brother has no choice. "

"That's great! I didn't expect that not only Lian'er could come back to live in this trouble, but I could also live in Rongxi Hall." Jia She was so excited that Chen Bi shouted.

For so many years, his eldest wife had to live with the winks of the second wife. It was just that he had no status in front of outsiders. Even the servants at home stepped on lows and highs, and looked down on them as well.This time he must stand up!

"After living in Rongxi Hall, you must live up to your expectations, and don't let others find reasons to drive you away." Yan Liang also told Jia She to look like the eldest son.

Jia She hurriedly agreed one by one, and said that these few days he didn't think much about drinking and sex, and he had a new hobby.

"What?" Yan Liang asked.

Jia She stroked his beard embarrassedly and smiled, "Play chess. You told me to follow the instructions on the paper and care about the children. I suddenly found that Yingchun really likes to play chess. I played with her for a while. I also like playing chess more and more, I want to win, I especially want to win."

"Since I like it, it's a good thing to think carefully." After Yan Liang said, he waved his hands and walked back to Ning Mansion quickly.

When Yan Liang arrived at Fulu Hall, he saw the young servant standing on the porch looking left and right.It just occurred to him that his elder brother Zhang Luo had been hit by a board for stealing a painting two days ago and has not yet been dealt with.

Zhang Wang rushed over and knelt down, "Master, I'm so bold, please don't drive away big brother!"

Yan Liang: "He wronged you, and you still beg for mercy?"

"I don't blame him. He blames me. He thinks that I am young. I beg the master to give me a lighter punishment. I think our brother can stay in the mansion. My elder brother is not bad, but I really Very good. When our brother was beaten before, he was the one who helped me carry the board. If the master punished me that day, he would definitely block it for me." Zhang Wang choked, "Master, please——"

"Needless to say, call your brother."

Yan Liang knew that the two brothers had a deep bond, that's why he kept Zhang Gong from sending it away immediately.Yan Liang wanted to give Zhang Luo a chance to see if he could repent.If it works, both brothers will stay.If it doesn't work, don't keep one and throw one away.

After a while, Zhang Luo, led by his younger brother Zhang Wang, entered the door with his head bowed, knelt down and wept bitterly to apologize.

"Master treats the little ones well, eats good food and wears well, and teaches the little ones to read and write, but the little ones are wolf-hearted..."

Yan Liang didn't like to cry, so he glanced at him and found that his greedy karma was gone. It seemed that after he was beaten, he was comforted by his younger brother, and he had come to his senses.Yan Liang immediately said that he could stay.

Zhang Luo still hadn't realized it, he was stunned for a while, and kowtowed to thank him.

Turning around, the news reached Lai Er's ears somehow.

In the evening, Lai Er was naked and knelt at the back door of Ning Mansion to plead guilty.

After Yan Liang heard about it, he found it ridiculous.This fellow must have thought that anyone would be forgiven as long as they made amends to him, but the reality was far from what he thought.

Like Zhang Gong looking at these two children, they are quite innocent, but they have just activated a kind of intentional karma among the evil causes - greed, which is still easy to eliminate.But like Lai Er, the body, speech, and mind have already been full of evil causes, and it is impossible to change for the better.

The man Yan Liang must have disappeared, and he beat him before he left, and poured feces and water out if he couldn't leave.Only then did Lai Er give up, and ran home with his butt dripping.

On the second day, Yan Liang went to the horse farm early.

Last time, he had good luck because of the elimination of the evil cause, that is, he found out that Wang An's mount was tampered with.This time Zhang Luo's evil cause has also been eliminated, and he will definitely have good luck today.I hope it is official luck, which can promote him to leave the horse farm as soon as possible.

Everyone in Machang now knows that Wang An was only frightened that day and was not injured.Everyone felt more at ease. Although they were not as scared as they were on the day of the incident, they were still worried about how the higher authorities would deal with them.Qi Shengao's people still went in and out of the horse farm from time to time to investigate, and occasionally took two people away for interrogation, which made the whole horse farm panic.

Everyone still wanted to know what Qi Shengao talked to Yan Liang and Yuan Hanzai that day.Because of this, Yuan Hanzai was very afraid of being questioned by his colleagues, and has been lying about being sick at home for the past two days.

Yan Liang still came to report every day, but he was an arrogant, indifferent and extremely tough nut to crack.It was useless for the officials to use both soft and hard tactics, and in the end, no one dared to provoke him.

Zhang Dianshi naturally looked down on Yan Liang more and more.

This morning, Zhang Dian was invited by Qi Shengao's people, and he sued Yan Liang severely.

"My lord, he is the co-leader of the horse factory, and he alone manages the feeding of the stables of the top three. If there is something abnormal about the horse, the subordinate officials feel that he may not be able to get rid of it. By the way, the prince temporarily passed on the horse that day. When the news said that it was going to be bright and white, Jia Xieling personally took over the saddle, we all saw it with our own eyes, and he was the only person in the horse factory who had contact with bright white."

The calibers of several pianshi and master bookkeepers are similar, and there is nothing new about the letter, which makes Qi Shengao have to suspect that Yan Liang is the only person who can work in the entire horse factory.The other officials were clearly gagging. They didn't do their job and didn't observe. Apart from complaining and asking three questions, it was naturally impossible to know the clues.

After Zhang Dianshi was sent back to Machang, Yan Liang was invited by Qi Shengao.

The people in the horse factory panicked when they saw this, and they gathered around Zhang Dianshi for advice.

Zhang Dianshi sneered: "I don't think anything can be found out about this matter, otherwise we wouldn't have been interrogated for so many days. Regardless of whether he did this matter or not, if it can't be found out, there must be a scapegoat!"

All the officials suddenly understood, their eyes met and they all sniggered.

Yan Liang was not sent to the government office, but the carriage stopped at Guangyuan Building instead.

When he arrived at the private room, Yan Liang saw a man in brocade robes and fine attire standing facing the window, although his back was turned to him, but this man's figure was slender and tall, one could tell that he was Qi Shengao at a glance.

After a while of silence, Qi Shengao turned around and asked Yan Liang: "Tell me your opinion on this matter."

"I have no opinion, the truth is whatever it is." Yan Liang said.

Qi Shengao chuckled, "You're more interesting than before, but the truth can't be seen clearly by anyone. I've searched for so many days, and there's only superficiality."

Yan Liang: "Where are the two guards?"

"Little guy, I don't know much. The person who instigated them was Zheng Nianyang, the head of the household department. This person disappeared after the incident and has not been whereabouts so far." Qi Shen Gao said so far, with a little anxiety on his brows.

Head of the household department?If Yan Liang remembered correctly, Qi Shengao was the Minister of the Household Department.The person who instructed the two guards happened to be Qi Shengao's subordinate, and the person who advised the prince to ride Jiaobai that day was also Qi Shengao.From this point of view, Qi Shengao seems to be the mastermind behind this incident.The most interesting thing is not only this, but Prince An, he should have seen clearly the suspiciousness of Qi Shengao, but he just used him to investigate the case.

What is the purpose of Prince An's arrangement in this way is somewhat confusing.

"Seeing me in trouble, you can be happy." Qi Shen glared at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang didn't speak.

Seeing Yan Liang's indifference, Qi Shengao said angrily, "Don't forget, your behavior of hiding the note on the bridge in front of the saddle is also very suspicious! I checked carefully, and your note is written in black. The roll is wrapped in paper, so it is the same color as the saddle and cannot be seen by the naked eye. You fix the roll on the shadow of the front bridge with a silver needle, and you can only feel the paper when you hold the front bridge of the saddle when you get on the horse. The existence of it. You have done so carefully, it must have been carefully considered, and the note and silver needle also need to be prepared in advance."

"It's not surprising that I found out doubts the day before I was dismissed from office. I had some thoughts and made some preparations. If I intend to murder the prince, there is no need to remind me. I admit that the way I put the note was a bit reckless, but people have times when they can't help themselves. I believe the lord will understand this." Yan Liang felt that Qi Shengao's anxious look was a bit funny, and politely responded with a smile.

Qi Shengao was made angry and helpless by his attitude, and turned his back angrily, "Okay, get out."

"Have you checked the order of the Stable Animal Husbandry Department?" Yan Liang asked.

Qi Shengao was stunned, and suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Liang: "You mean—"

"The lower officials don't know about it. My lord will only find out after checking." Yan Liang quickly left after saluting slightly.

Qi Shengao looked at Yan Liang's back with complicated eyes, pondered for a moment, and then sent someone to monitor the order of the Stable and Animal Husbandry Department, while he drove straight to the official minister's house.

Two days later, Qi Shengao caught Chen Dianlin, the servant of the household department, from the order of the stable animal husbandry department.

The purpose of this guy's joint order to tamper with Prince An's mount is very simple, just to force Qi Shengao to be deposed so that he can replace him.Regarding the order of the Stable Animal Husbandry Department, they have long been friends, so naturally they promised high-ranking officials and generous salary together.

As for why he knew in advance that Prince An would choose Jiaobai, it was because he happened to visit Qi Shengao on the snowy day, and he heard Qi Shengao and the housekeeper say with emotion, "Admiring the scenery in snowy days is like riding a white horse".Later, news spread that King An wanted to enjoy the snow scene, and Chen Dianlin had this plan.Jiaobai is the only white horse in the top three stables of the Stables and Animal Husbandry Department, and Prince An and Prince Sui's brothers have a good relationship, so he speculates that King An will definitely follow Qi Shengao's suggestion to choose this horse.As for the missing head of the household department, he was Chen Dianlin's subordinate, so he was easy to dispatch.After the incident, Chen Dianlin silenced this person and buried him on the spot.

Qi Shengao endured the humiliation and found out the truth about this matter, which was greatly appreciated by Prince An.And he now understands that Yan Liang should have believed that he is innocent, otherwise he would not have confessed to himself without reservation from the beginning, let alone when King An had a crisis of trust in him. Give him hints.

Therefore, when King An asked him what reward he wanted, Qi Shengao recommended Yan Liang to him without hesitation.
