Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 5

Zhao Xingliang panicked!
Holding the waist card in his hand to confirm again and again, he looked at Jia Ying full of grievance and puzzlement.

It seems to be asking: "Aren't you from Yunnan Prefecture?"

"Why is it related to the Ningguo Mansion again?"

"Where are you from?"

"Is it really okay to tease me as a little policeman?"

It's no wonder that Zhao Xingliang is unbearable. As the saying goes, people don't fight with officials. In the eyes of the people, Zhao Xingliang is an official.

But in Zhao Xingliang's eyes, he Jia Ying. No, he is the official in the Ningguo Mansion.

Offended the Ningguo Mansion, offended not one, but four.

Even though this is Yueyang, Zhao Xingliang has heard of Bai Yu as a horse for Tang Jin.

Fortunately, Zhao Xingliang has been hanging out in the officialdom for a long time, and he knows when to "make progress" and when to bow his head and admit cowardice.

As if changing his face, the gloominess disappeared in an instant, replaced by a sincere and appreciative face, first he bowed to Jia Ying, and said: "I don't know if it's the son Gaotang's coffin here. It's my fault!"

Then, he turned around and returned his waist card to Zhou Siwu first, bowed and said: "I don't know that Mr. Qianhu is here, it is a lowly position and reckless, I hope Mr. Qianhu will forgive me!"

Pointing to the yamen servant who was screaming at the side, he said: "The lowly post is not strictly governed, offending the adults, and the heroic spirits of Duke Jia and his wife, they should make amends!"

After finishing speaking, under the gaze of the three of Jia Ying and a group of yamen servants, he walked to the carriage pulling the coffin.

Pfft!
There was a clear kneeling sound.

Then came bam!Boom!Boom!Three rattles.

Standing up again, he said to Zhou Siwu: "My lord, please give the humble official a chance to correct his mistakes. When the humble official returns, he will definitely punish this yamen servant severely."

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Jia Ying and Zhou Siwu, and did not get up, just waiting for them to speak.

This wave of operations is so smooth and smooth, seamless and optional!
At first, Jia Ying thought that everything should be done in moderation, after all, on the other party's territory, it is not good to do too much, so she wanted to find a step for the other party to step down later.

It's just that no matter what he could have imagined, the majestic chief arrester of a state, who is also a majestic figure on weekdays, is actually so bachelor at this time.

Jia Ying really wanted to ask him, how do you want me to recite the lines after you have performed all the tricks.

If you don't believe me, look at that old servant Zhou Siwu again, the ferocious energy just now flew away early, and now he has turned into a clumsy and clumsy gourd again.

But Jia Ying was also unusual, he chuckled, stepped forward a few steps, and very kindly picked up Zhao Xingliang.

He said: "Where is Zhao catcher's words? Uncle Wu just said some nonsense just because he was desperate to protect the Lord. It's just that his father and mother have passed away for many years. This time helping the spirit to return to his hometown is already disturbing the ancestors. Please also Catcher Zhao should show some face to Jia, so as not to disturb the peaceful sleep of the deceased."

"As for what the head arrester did, it was only part of the responsibility. How could we blame the head arrester for this? It was Jia who should have said yes to the head arrester. Please don't take offense if he disturbed the head arrester's official duties. "

Zhao Xingliang didn't even dare.

Seeing Jia Ying's smiling face again, it seemed that he really didn't take the unhappiness just now to heart, so he said cautiously: "Since this matter is over, then Zhao will leave, disturbing the cleanliness of the young master, please don't forget it Strange."

When the other party wants to leave, Jia Ying is naturally happy, so that everyone will be clean.

At the entrance of the inn, after seeing off Zhao Xingliang, Jia Ying suddenly asked the old servant beside him:

"Uncle Wu, are all those who come out of our mansion so domineering?"

This was Jia Ying's first time traveling with the old servant Zhou Siwu. What he didn't expect was that the usually honest and silent old servant would be so sneaky with his power.

Zhou Siwu smiled honestly and said: "Second Master doesn't need to be too polite to these lowly officials. Who would dare to provoke someone who came out of our mansion."

Jia Ying didn't know what to say for a while, people dare not provoke you, it was a day before the wall was overwhelmed by everyone, otherwise, even a beggar would come and step on you.

How can there be permanent power in this world, let alone a declining government, so what if it is a big job?
If you can't see through this point, you will be defeated sooner or later!
It's just that some words, in his current capacity, are meaningless to say.

But right now is not the time to think about these issues, there are still two troubles waiting for him to solve in the inn.

In the backyard of the inn, Tie Kou and Qi Sixian have mixed feelings.

Fortunately, they escaped the disaster smoothly, and they seem to have met a noble person.

The sad thing is that they seem to have offended the nobleman and hated him, because Jia Ying's face on the opposite side is as gloomy as water at the moment.

After a long time, Jia Ying looked at Qi Sixian who was still pale and said:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

When the matter came to this point, Qi Sixian also knew that he had no intention of concealing it, so he immediately explained the ins and outs of the matter.

"The little girl's name is Sixian, and her father, Qi Benzhong, was originally the right envoy of Huguang in the 59th year of Xuanlong. In the second year of Jiade, he was deposed because of the impeachment of Fei Lian, the left envoy of Huguang, and Zhong Shanlang, the inspector of Huguang. He was demoted and returned to his hometown.

Although my father was demoted to the public, he has been collecting evidence against the two of them over the years.At the beginning of last month, my father received a letter from Beijing, saying that His Majesty intends to recover, so he called his father to Beijing to play the right.

But who would have imagined that the news that my father collected criminal evidence and wanted to impeach the two again spread like wildfire, so the two thieves sent people to intercept and kill my father on the way to Beijing. My parents, my parents, and the servants in the family were all killed. He fled in chaos, and was rescued by Brother Tie. "

Pointing to the criminal evidence on the ground, he said, "The account books and memorials here are also what my father told the little girl to keep properly before his death."

Jia Ying pointed to Tiekou again and asked, "What about him?"

Before Qi Sixian could speak, he saw Tie Kou beside him saying sadly:
"Returning to your son, the villain Tie Kou was originally from Dang Tie Family Village, Pinghu, by Dongting Lake. Because of his proficiency in martial arts and good water skills, he was nicknamed Hengjiang Suo in the Jianghu, and was later recruited by Bao Sixi, the magistrate of Yueyang.

Just because everyone in my Tiejiazhuang practiced martial arts and was good at casting weapons, then Bao Siqian ordered the villain to recruit the children from his hometown to work for him. business.

A month ago, a group of officers and soldiers broke into Tiejiazhuang suddenly. They... They were not as good as beasts. They killed anyone they saw, even the elderly and children. Yukou, except for the villain and a dozen brothers who happened not to be in the village and escaped by chance, none of the rest were alive.

It was also that night, brother Qi and Miss Qi rescued by the villain.

Afterwards, the villain and his brothers wanted to avenge the folks in Tiejiazhuang. Unexpectedly, Bao Siji had already prepared for it. Not only did he take the lives of several brothers, but the villain was also arrested. The man was able to survive by threatening his private bank accounts. Later, it was Miss Qi who used tricks to cooperate with the brothers who escaped last time to rescue the villain from the prison.

Next, it will be tonight's matter, and the young master knows it all. "

After Tie Kou finished speaking, he wiped away the teardrops on his cheeks, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed three times and said:
"Young Master, what happened tonight is all Tie Kou's idea, and has nothing to do with Miss Qi. Tie Kou will kill and cut without any complaints. I just ask you to let Miss Qi survive."

After listening to Tie Kou's story, Jia Ying couldn't help but take a few more glances at this woman surnamed Qi. Just now he felt that this woman was not simple. It was a game of dead chess that was revived.

Now I heard that she even dared to rob the prison of the government. Although Tie Kou only said the word "use tricks", Jia Ying can think that if Tie Kou can be rescued from the prison, this girl Qi is probably the key, otherwise , only with a few quack warriors
You are like a vegetable market in a state prison!
This Miss Qi, what should I say. What a pity, she is a daughter!
It's not that Jia Ying looks down on women, but that since the birth of Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, women have been strictly bound by feudal ethics.

Pity.
After listening to the story of the two, Jia Ying got up and walked to the guest room.

The four present were left in a daze.

Is this over?

Especially Tiekou, they were hiding in the haystack just now, and they could hear everything that happened in the backyard clearly, among which the key one was: Jia Ying came from Ningguo Mansion.

This is the most likely and capable person Tie Kou has ever encountered to avenge him. He has already figured out what conditions he should offer to get the other party to agree.

These wealthy sons, it is best to raise some casual people. His martial arts are not the best in the world, but they are definitely not bad. Even with internal injuries, he can fight with his two servants for more than a dozen rounds.
But the other party didn't follow the routine, which made Tie Kou almost choked to death by his own thoughts.

On the other hand, Qi Sixian vomited blood twice in a row, and now he has no energy to plot revenge.

Zhou Siwu told Xi'er to watch in the backyard, and chased after him.

Inside the room, Zhou Siwu asked, "Second Master, what should we do with those two?"

Jia Ying confessed: "Tomorrow morning, you go to the city to find some carpenters and coolies. When you get on the boat, someone will always need someone to carry the coffin. When the time comes, let the two of them mix among the coolies. When you get on the boat, you will say that someone is needed on the way." Take care, just leave the two of them alone."

Zhou Siwu asked again: "And then?"

"What then? Then let them leave when it's convenient?"

"The old servant thought so."

"Do you think that my son will help them take revenge? Or get rid of those corrupt officials for the court?"

Jia Ying said rather speechlessly, "We can't afford to participate in this kind of thing!"

"Then why did the second master save them?" Zhou Siwu was still puzzled.

"I'm not saving them, I'm saving us, myself!"

Zhou Siwu: ".?"

Jia Ying sighed, supported her forehead and explained: "Uncle Wu, do you really think that what Qi Sixian said can change my mind? It's just that he reminded me of one thing."

"what's up?"

"On the day of the funeral, the first political thing I did today was to reinstate the former members. Among these old members, the ones who really caught my attention were Qingliu like Qi Benzhong. Don't forget who Qi Benzhong is. If I turn a blind eye to it today, if something happens in the future, we will be the unlucky ones. Now that we have done what we have to do, we don't need to worry about the rest!"

"Okay, Uncle Wu, you go and make arrangements for the two of you, so you should rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow!"

In the early morning of the second day, according to Jia Ying's order, the two were mixed with the artisans and coolies. The group left the Tonglai Inn and rushed to the ferry.

It was only when he got to the ferry that Jia Ying realized that the ferry pier had already been heavily surrounded by government servants from the state government, and there was another team of guards stationed at various main roads to isolate the crowd of onlookers.

Xi'er was a little worried and said: "Second Master, the state government office probably knows that the person they want to arrest is here, so they sent someone to wait for us."

Jia Ying shook her head and said, "What are you thinking about, if they know, they can just send people to arrest us, why bother!"

"Then what are they doing?"

Jia Ying pointed to the big and small officials on the riverside of the ferry, wearing brocade and green satin tonic gowns, and said, "All the big and small officials from Yuezhou are here, so there must be some important person coming."

Sure enough, Jia Ying didn't finish speaking, and on the river in the distance, I saw a group of boats approaching the pier.

The building boat stopped sailing and docked. Immediately afterwards, a group of big Han generals played the king's order flag, and saw a letter saying "by order, the governor of Huguang and other places, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Feng."

Feng Yankuan wore a golden pheasant robe and a black gauze on his head, and walked slowly down the building under the watchful eyes of all the officials in Yuezhou.

All of a sudden, the ceremony and music on the ferry were singing together, and the gongs and drums were loud.

The people of Yuezhou kept flocking to watch the excitement. For them, it was rare for them to see such a big scene once in many years.

Zhong Shanlang, the Inspectorate of Huguang, and Bao Siyu, the magistrate of Yuezhou, led a group of officials to greet him. After a brief ceremony, they gathered around Feng Yankuan and walked towards the official sedan chair parked outside the pier.

The moment he saw Wang Ming's flag, Jia Ying had a guess in his heart, so as soon as Feng Yankuan appeared on the stage, Jia Ying recognized him from a long distance away.

The majestic Feng Yankuan walked out of the pier and was about to sit in the official sedan chair when he suddenly felt a familiar figure in the crowd not far away, and looked carefully at him, and a smile appeared on his slightly aged face the next moment.

So he gently waved to Jia Ying who was not far away, motioning for him to come over.

All the Yuezhou officials were stunned, Zhong Shanlang and Bao Sizhen looked at each other indistinctly, but they didn't expect that the imperial envoy still had acquaintances here, so he didn't know whether it was good or bad for a while.

"Teacher!"

Jia Ying, who walked over quickly, respectfully bowed to Feng Yankuan as a disciple.

Feng Yankuan sized him up again, and said with a gratified smile, "I can meet you here, I guess it's because I'm going to Beijing to take the Enke Exam."

Jia Ying smiled impressively and said, "Everything can't be hidden from the wise eyes of my teacher."

Feng Yankuan was noncommittal, stroked his beard and said: "The old man just arrived in Yueyang today, and I still have business to deal with. It is inconvenient for you and my teachers and students to catch up on the old days. Now it is too early for the Spring Festival. You might as well stay in Yueyang City for a few days. When you are free, then I invite you to come and talk."

Jia Ying had no answer.
