Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

"Choose from the palace people released this year?"

"Yes, I found it according to what you said at the beginning." Lin Ruhai explained, "At this moment, she is in the backyard, and I invited her to be Daiyu's husband."

"Just look at it from a distance." Yan Liang made a request.

Lin Ruhai originally wanted to arrange for the two of them to meet formally, but the girl over there also agreed after hearing the request. As long as the occasion was formal and both parties had family members to accompany them, it would be no big deal to meet each other.But since Yan Liang only needs to look from a distance, it will be easier over there.He immediately sent someone to inform Jia Min to make arrangements.

There is a lotus pond in the back garden of Lin Mansion, bounded by an arch bridge, with pavilions and waterside pavilions in the south, bamboo forest in the north, and winding paths leading to seclusion.

After everything was arranged, Yan Liang followed Lin Ruhai through the bamboo forest path.When they approached the bank of the lotus pond, the two stopped, and Yan Liang stood under the mottled bamboo forest with his hands behind his back, overlooking the opposite bank through the gap between two green bamboos.Naturally, the face can't be seen clearly, only the appearance of the figure can be seen.

It seems that Jia Min took the woman and Daiyu together, reciting poems and playing chess at the waterside pavilion.

Yan Liang only glanced at it, then turned and walked back.Lin Ruhai was still chattering and praising this girl for her outstanding appearance and good conduct, but when she saw him leaving, she hurried to catch up and asked him with a smile if he was shy, and asked him how he was doing.

"You said earlier that she was in charge of affairs in the palace and was highly regarded?" Yan Liang asked.

Lin Ruhai: "Yes, I have also investigated, and she has indeed served as a female official by the queen's side for several years."

"As a female official, she should be held in high regard. How could her master be willing to let her out?"

"This..." Lin Ruhai frowned slightly and thought for a while, "Maybe it's because you are too much loved by the master to get this grace?"

"You mean the masters in the palace?" Yan Liang smiled and shook his head.

The harem has always been a place of filth and filth, and the fight between women will never stop. Even the queen is afraid that there will be a day of precarity.The way for these women to survive in the harem must be to protect their own interests first.How could the most trustworthy talent cultivated by her side for many years be easily let go and let him go out of the palace.

Lin Ruhai heard Yan Liang's voice, and asked him what he meant.

Yan Liang shook his head, "This won't work."

"This person is really decisive and has the style of a housekeeper and grandma. As far as things in your house are concerned, can they be more complicated than those in the palace? But she doesn't care about the conditions you put forward. How difficult is the candidate? How can you be so far away?" Do you think something is wrong just by looking at it?" Lin Ruhai was really puzzled.

"My good brother-in-law, have you never thought about whether there is something hidden in her being released from the palace suddenly after taking charge? Could her hands be stained with blood?"

Lin Ruhai was terrified, he calmed down, followed Yan Liang closely and asked, "Could it be that you just looked at the picture from a distance and found out?"

Yan Liang smiled helplessly, "Probably, but not necessarily. Tell me her name, and I'll ask someone to investigate carefully."

In fact, Yan Liang was sure that this woman had two lives in her body, but at the moment he couldn't say for sure.Furthermore, with such a person with evil causes, no matter how strong she is, Yan Liang will definitely not bring her into the house, it is tantamount to leading a wolf into the house.

"No, no, I found this person, and I should naturally finish the matter." Lin Ruhai firmly stated that he would investigate to the end.

"That's fine, but I have caused you a lot of trouble for nothing." Yan Liang smiled apologetically.

Lin Ruhai: "Hey, if this woman is really what you said, with a dark and ruthless temperament, then I will not be able to help you, but will cause more trouble."

It was night, after Yan Liang had a drink with Lin Ruhai in the Lin Mansion, he returned.

When he arrived at Ning Mansion, Yan Liang heard from the servant that Qi Shengao had sent someone to look for him today.

Seeing that it was late, Yan Liang thought about asking when he saw someone tomorrow.

After a while, the servant came again, "Just now someone knocked on the door eagerly, saying that it is a servant from Master Qi's house, and he has something urgent to see the master."

"Call someone here." Yan Liang said.

Not long after, a young servant wearing the clothes of the Qi manor's blue servant walked in with a bow.He first bowed to Yan Liang, and then kept his bowed posture, without showing his face, and said to each other: "My master invites Master Jia to come, there is something urgent."

Yan Liang narrowed his eyes to look at the boy's appearance. He was of medium build, with dark skin, and his footsteps were light but powerful when he walked. There seemed to be a thin callus on the tiger's mouth on his left hand, and he seemed to be someone with some kung fu.

"Are you..." Yan Liang asked in a long voice.

The young servant in Tsing Yi slightly raised his head and glanced at Yan Liang, then hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his hands again, "The young one is Lord Qi's follower."

"Okay, you go back and report first, I'll change my clothes and go." After Yan Liang got up, he wanted to go to the inner room.

The young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly added: "My master is not in the mansion at the moment, he has prepared the carriage and is waiting outside the mansion right now, the younger one is waiting for the adults here, and will lead the way for the adults later."

"Your family is not in the mansion, so where is it?"

The young man in Tsing Yi probably didn't expect Yan Liang to have such a question. He hesitated for a while, and hurriedly said: "This...it's hard to say for a small one. The master said that this matter is confidential, and everything will be known after the adults go."

Yan Liang's face suddenly turned cold, he turned around and walked to the door, watching the boy for a while.

After a while, Fang Fang said coldly, "Who the hell are you?"

The young servant in Tsing Yi was puzzled, and smiled helplessly: "The young one doesn't understand the meaning of the master, the young one has already said it, the young one is the servant of the Qi family."

Yan Liang smiled and sneered.He immediately backed out of the door and asked someone to take the boy down.

The young man in Tsing Yi didn't expect the incident to happen so suddenly, and in his haste, he instinctively took out the dagger from his sleeve.The young servant in Tsing Yi has some fist skills, if he can deal with ordinary servants with this skill, ten or eight servants will not be a problem, and if they are not in order, they can jump over the wall and escape from Ning Mansion easily.However, he came to the wrong place today. Since Yan Liang was assassinated, he has been gifted by the emperor with twelve bodyguards.The young servant in Tsing Yi was not as good as the Ouchi guards at all, and he was defeated by one opponent, so he was quickly captured by the guards.

In fact, since Yan Liang saw this young man, no matter what he said that was not flawed, it was all flawed.The cause and effect revealed in him has already betrayed him.

Coincidentally, the time of this person's retribution is very close to that of Wu Min.Moreover, how could a mere servant of the Qi Mansion carry dozens of evil reasons for his appointment.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Yan Liang held back his hand.

The incident happened suddenly, and the boy in Tsing Yi was still a little bit hesitant.After being stunned for a while, he sneered, and stared at Yan Liang generously: "You traitor!"

"What did you say?" Yan Liang opened his eyes slightly and stared at him.

The little servant laughed, "Why, now that you have been reinstated and become a senior executive, do you want to forget about it? Don't forget, you are—"

The boy suddenly struggled, and the guard quickly suppressed him with a knife.Unexpectedly, this guy Jing was not afraid of death, but slammed his neck against the blade fiercely.Blood suddenly flew out like a waterfall, splashing the guard with the knife all over.

The man fell to the ground, convulsing twice before dying.

Yan Liang frowned, never thought that someone would die in front of his eyes.Yan Liang sent the guard down to clean up, and then asked someone to send a message to invite Qi Shengao immediately.

"My lord, what about this corpse?"

"Don't move."

After two sticks of incense, Qi Shengao came out of the night wearing a hooded black cloak.As soon as he entered the house, he saw the bloody dead body on the ground.He lifted his feet and walked around, took off his hat, and entered the inner room.

"Why didn't you ask someone to clean up that corpse?" Qi Shen frowned and said, as if he thought it was bad luck to take things.

"I have asked someone to notify Lin Ruhai, and he will bring someone to investigate the scene soon."

"Tsk, I even reported to the official." Qi Shengao smiled, feeling that Yan Liang obeyed the law, he looked around the room with his hands behind his back, and then sat down on the Arhat couch, "It's really Ningguo Mansion, the interior furnishings are upside down Better than mine."

"The person who said it was yours, has seen it, do you know him?" Yan Liang asked him.

Qi Shengao reached out for the big cushion and leaned on it tiredly.Hearing Yan Liang's words, he took a cold breath and pointed at him, "Why are you still relying on me? The person outside the door has nothing to do with me."

"It was said that it was a servant from Lord Qi's mansion who came to me urgently. There was already a carriage waiting outside the door. I had arranged for someone to investigate just now. There was indeed a carriage parked at the back door of Ning's mansion, but there was no one else. Presumably it was him. One person went to pick me up alone."

Qi Shen raised his eyebrows, "Who have you offended recently?"

"What about you?" Yan Liang didn't answer, but instead asked Qi Shengao.

Qi Shengao thought for a while, tilted his neck and smiled, "I have many enemies. If I think about it carefully, there must be at least one possible person who would do this."

"Tell me the most likely."

Qi Shengao stopped laughing suddenly, lowered his head slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Yan Liang saw that he had a candidate in mind, so he urged him to speak quickly.Qi Shengao frowned tightly, and only whispered "it can't be him".

"Dare to invite me to Ningfu blatantly in your name. The most important thing is that this man has such a staunch and loyal dead soldier beside him." Yan Liang said while observing Qi Shengao complexion.Seeing that his complexion was getting darker and darker, he guessed that this person must be someone Qi Shengao was familiar with, and someone he hadn't thought of for a long time and didn't want to think about it.

In this way, it is either the Ninth Prince Kang Wang who has just been reprimanded to the northwest, or the eldest prince Shun Wang who has long been imprisoned in the northwest for the crime of treason.

Considering what list was mentioned when the dead man was dying just now.It made Yan Liang think of the list he found in the hidden compartment of the old bookshelf of Fulu Hall not long after he came to this world.Could the list that the dead man mentioned refer to the one he found?

But he had checked that the names on that list were of no value, they were all dead and scattered.But according to Yan Liang's understanding, the owner's list has an unclear relationship with Lord Shun.So the main emissary behind the boy's scenes is likely to be King Shun.Although King Shun was imprisoned far away in the northwest, it is not impossible for him to plan secretly and return to Beijing quietly.

"Is it King Shun who told you to have such an expression?" Yan Liang asked tentatively.

Qi Shen raised his eyes high and stared at Yan Liang, "It can't be him! The Queen Mother has been in poor health since she was a child, and she was sick on the couch. When she gets old and confused, she often misses the old people. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Northwest The news came that the Holy Majesty has been keeping this matter secret and kept it secret, because he didn't want the old lady's mood to be affected by the death of her unfilial grandson."
