The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 36 The whereabouts of Xiangling
Back at the old house, Jia Lian immediately asked someone to come over to see him.

After a while, he saw Wang Sheng and others escorting a thin and small man over. He looked panicked, and begged for mercy before he saw the rightful owner.

"My lords, please forgive me, the young one is just a young man in the yamen, please feel free to tell me what you lords have to say, the villain will never dare to refuse..."

Sun Zairen regretted it very much.

He is a servant under the yamen of Yingtianfu, but he is not the kind to arrest people, he is only in charge of standing guard in the yamen.

A few days ago, he discovered that a group of people were looking for a "little monk from Suzhou". At that time, he guessed, could they not be looking for him?

But he used to be a young monk in a small temple, and later he wandered around the south of the Yangtze River, finally settled down in Nanjing City, and even got into Yingtian Mansion as a servant, such a lowly person, who can be worthy of someone to inquire about him whereabouts?

I thought to myself that I had done a few sneaky things to survive a few years ago, and I was afraid, so I didn't dare to let people know that he was from Suzhou and that he had actually been a monk.

It's just that those people seem to have a lot of background, even the Yamen has to give them a little face, and he has come to find people several times, and he dare not show his head.

Afterwards, he heard from other guys that those people came to him under the order of "Master Yucun", and he couldn't sit still immediately.

Jia Yucun, of course he knows this person, he lived in their temple when he was still a down-and-out son.

Although he became a monk, he was born with a bit of wisdom and insight. He knew that the downfall of scholars and scholars like Jia Yucun was only temporary, so he respected him very much, and he was willing to work as a handyman. .

Later, their temple was burned down by a big fire, and the group of monks had nowhere to live, so they had to find their own way.

He also heard that Jia Yucun really won the gold medal list, and he wanted to join him, but because he didn't know his whereabouts, and because he was humble, he was afraid that the other party would not accept him, so he gave up.

Now after many years, I suddenly heard that the nobleman was looking for it, so it is naturally difficult to think about it patiently.Could it be that Mr. Jia recalled the friendship of the past and wanted to repay it?
Therefore, after repeated observations and found that the group of people did not have any malicious intentions, they finally revealed their identities on their own initiative.

Unexpectedly, when he learned that he was the little monk from Suzhou, the originally friendly and strong man suddenly changed his color and shouted, "It's you, let's find it easier!"

Then he was restrained, tied up and taken away immediately.

God is sorry, I only saw the guys go out to arrest people before. How could I ever think that I, as an official, would be kidnapped in broad daylight?
Later, when he saw that the group of people who kidnapped him came to the rumored Gonghou Street, he lay on his horse and looked up at the big characters "Rongguo Mansion", and saw that they really led him in through the corner gate. Suddenly it was cold through half the sky.

It's over, it's over, I thought that when I was kidnapped, someone saw him, and the Yamen would come to rescue him, but now it's completely hopeless...

After being locked in that dark room and thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what kind of virtue and ability he had, to offend the people in the dignified government's mansion, and let the other party do everything possible to arrest him!
"be honest!"

After being roughly pushed into a hall that was much more luxurious than their government hall, he knelt on the ground and looked up.Sure enough, sitting at the top seat was a rich and handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor, frowning at him.

"My lord, please forgive me. I really don't know where I offended my lord. I beg my lord to forgive me..."

With his hands tied, he could only keep begging for mercy with his head punched.

Seeing him like this, Jia Lian shook his head, knowing that Wang Sheng and others would be wrong, and they frightened them.

"Let him go."

Jia Lian ordered.

The reason why he frowned was not dissatisfaction, but the person in front of him was different from what he had imagined.

This is not a young novice, he is clearly a thin middle-aged Yacha, who has nothing to do with monks.

In order to verify whether he had found the wrong person, Jia Lian asked directly, "Do you know the Gourd Temple?"

Hearing Jia Lian's question, Sun Zairen, who had just released his hands and was thanking him non-stop, immediately lost his mind to adapt to the situation.

The other party even knew about the Gourd Temple, so it can be seen that he has been thoroughly investigated!

"Returning to the master, the villain knew that the Gourd Temple was originally located on Shili Street in Suzhou. I dare not lie to the master. Before the villain, I was a member of the Gourd Temple. Later, the Gourd Temple was burned down. The villain had no choice but to continue. The hair did this…”

Hearing this, Jia Lian was relieved immediately, and finally found someone.

He still wants to send Daiyu back to Beijing. It is impossible to stay in Nanjing for too long because of Xiangling's affairs. If Wang Sheng and others can't find anyone, he can't help but go to Yingtian Zhifu himself and ask him to transfer the file. I checked...

It's just that in this way, I'm afraid it will be easy to be admitted. After all, he was born in a noble family, so it is not easy to have too much contact with the local administrative office.

"Get up now."

"Thank you, my lord..."

From Jia Lian's attitude, Sun Zairen realized that the situation didn't seem to be that bad, so he cringed and didn't dare to look at Jia Lian directly. He just said, "I don't know why the Elder Master summoned the villain here? Just give orders, the Elder Master. The villain will go through fire and water, and will not hesitate..."

Jia Lian interrupted him with a wave of his hand and asked, "Do you know Zhen Yinglian?"

When Jia Lian asked this sentence, his eyes became stern, and he stared straight at the person in front of him.

Sun Zairen was so frightened that he took a step back, and said tremblingly: "Small... I know that Miss Yinglian is the daughter of Master Zhen next to the Gourd Temple. I heard that she was abducted by a kidnapper..."

Seeing that he hadn't finished his words, Jia Lian felt even more delighted, and took advantage of the situation and said, "Then do you know where she is now? I was entrusted by a friend to find her whereabouts. If you know her information, let me tell you carefully. Officials are rewarded heavily!"

He has the same rank as an official, and he can call himself the official. He knows that this is also the most intimidating identity to these low-level guards.

Sun Zairen immediately knelt on the ground with a plop: "Reporting to my lord, I seem to really know the whereabouts of Miss Yinglian..."

"Since you know it, why don't you say it quickly, what are you talking about?" Wang Sheng next to him couldn't help but interjected.The second master asked you a question, you just answer obediently, why are you stammering?

Sun Zairen didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and stammered: "Last month, a person came to my house and wanted to rent my house. I didn't want to rent it to him, but then I rented it to him... The reason Yes, I saw his daughter with a rouge mark on her forehead...

My lord doesn't know, when I was in the Gourd Temple, I met Miss Yinglian. On Miss Yinglian's forehead, there was a rouge mark the size of a grain of rice. It is said that it was brought from the mother's womb. This one!

So I wondered, could it be a coincidence that the person was Miss Yinglian who never..."

As Sun Zairen said, he also felt that the matter was a bit too coincidental, so coincidental that it was a bit weird!
If anyone wanted to find Miss Zhen's family, they would find her on her head?Where did he happen to have information about Miss Zhen's family?

If that daughter is really Ms. Yinglian, then the person who brought her must be a kidnapper. How could it be so coincidental that he just came to find me to rent a house?How do you know that I happen to recognize Miss Yinglian?
There were a series of questions in his heart but he didn't dare to ask casually. He has already experienced a lot of unreasonable things today.

For example, it is very unreasonable for him to be caught here.After he made up his mind to become a vulgar man, he rarely mentioned his past to others, and even gave himself the name "Zei Ren", which means to be a human again!
Just like that, the young master of the Rongguo Mansion was able to find him out, but he didn't know why he was looking for him, and how he was able to find him so coincidentally.

Jia Lian took a long breath, Xiangling really let this little novice meet, and things will be easy.

He was worried before that even if he found the little monk, if he hadn't met Xiang Ling, then he would have nothing to do.

At this moment, there was no need to ask any more questions, Jia Lian stood up directly.

"Let's go, take me to meet people!"
