Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 361 Fighting poison with poison
In the county government house, Ni Er picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Still feeling that it was not enough, he simply grabbed the teapot and started to drink it with the spout.

Fortunately, I reacted in time and hurriedly drank and poured myself. I drank four or five cups of tea in a row before I quenched my thirst.

He put down the tea cup and said sheepishly: "Third Master, I am a rough man. I like to drink tea from a big bowl to satisfy myself. I just drank a cup of cow, which made Third Master laugh."

Jia Huan said seriously: "Drinking tea quenches your thirst when you are thirsty, adds interest when chatting, and relieves boredom when you are bored. When you are thirsty, you naturally have to drink tea in large gulps to enjoy it. If you are obviously thirsty, but you drink slowly and slowly, that is pretentious. ."

After hearing what Jia Huan said, Ni Er couldn't help but extend his thumb and said: "The third master is really eloquent!"

"By the way, Third Master, I'm asking for an audience this time because I've spied on something extremely important. I can't afford to delay, so I'm here to ask for an audience."

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Ni Er, what exactly is going on? Please tell me carefully?"

Ni Er couldn't help but said: "The Third Master also knows that I have a group of people under my command. The last time the Third Master invited those gentry to a banquet, those people inquired about it. After the banquet, those people did not just disperse, but went there again Go to Juxian Tower."

"This Juxian Tower is the property of the Bai family. The younger ones are thinking that if the third master entertains them again this time, they are afraid that they will go to Juxian Tower to conspire."

Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but perked up. Since Ni Er said this, he must have heard something.

Next, I heard Ni Er continue to say: "So the younger one climbed to the top of the Juxian Building in advance and waited there for two hours, and sure enough they were waiting for them."

"When I heard about their plot, I was really frightened. I thought I had to report it to the third master, so as not to delay the matter. That's why I came to ask to see the third master."

Jia Huan said hurriedly: "You have heard what exactly they are plotting. Please tell me carefully."

Ni Er then narrated the news he heard. There may be a few omissions in the middle, and he also added his own understanding based on memory, but the general meaning is not bad.

After hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

He was never afraid to assume the worst ill will towards those in the court, but he still didn't expect that they could be so vicious!
If they were unable to stop them, they would not hesitate to raise their butcher's knives high to massacre at least half of the aristocratic families. They would not hesitate to exterminate them all, and even set off a big fire.

These killings alone were enough to put him at the forefront.

And if this is still not enough to bring him down, then they will slash the butcher knife at the people again.

And once hundreds, thousands or even more people die in Ping'an County, can he really continue to be the county magistrate, even if the emperor continues to support him?
He will definitely not be able to continue his job, and may even lose his official position, or even be imprisoned, or even implicate the Jia family.

These people, for their own selfish purposes, do not hesitate to use such vicious methods!
Jia Huan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Yes, I should have thought of it a long time ago.

This kind of thing has actually happened frequently throughout the ages.

Take the late Ming Dynasty as an example. Aren't those civil servants so bold as to assassinate the emperor?
Even if the emperor doesn't listen to them, they dare to secretly get rid of him. If he replaces an obedient emperor, what else can they not dare to do?
The red rope cases, arson cases, and red pill cases in the Ming Dynasty all pointed to the emperor.

If they had not known about this matter in advance, Jia Huan would have been caught off guard by them, and he would have ended up being disgraced or even imprisoned.

But a conspiracy is a conspiracy and cannot be seen in the light.

As long as the conspiracy is exposed, it will never succeed.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask Mo Da: "Mo Da, have you ever found out the origins of the strangers who are in contact with the Cao family that you are keeping an eye on?"

Mo Da replied: "Sir, my subordinates have found out this person's identity. He is from Prince Zhongshun's palace."

Prince Zhongshun's Mansion?
I have stumbled upon me several times, and this old man Qiu still remembers it!Now he takes the initiative to jump out again?Hum!

Jia Huan's eyes showed a bit of sinisterness.

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

He couldn't help but order: "Mo Da, please go down and arrest this person secretly, don't alert others."

"Yes, son."

After thinking for a while, Jia Huan ordered again: "Mo Da, do you know the art of disguise?"

Mo laughed and said, "Sir, I don't know how to disguise myself. But those two girls, Mo Zhu and Mo Mei, do. When they disguised themselves as men, even the third master didn't recognize them."

Yes, why did you forget these two little girls?
Jia Huan smiled and then said: "I will find two girls to disguise themselves later, and then you can find a few brothers to follow me out, so you don't want to follow me."

Mo Da felt nervous after hearing this, and asked hurriedly: "Third Master, are you going out of the city? If you go out of the city, you won't be able to do it if you don't have enough people. You have to bring a few more people."

Jia Huan smiled and said: "I'm not leaving the city, I'm just going to the inspection department. I'm afraid someone is watching me secretly outside, so I'm going to go out in disguise. And as long as you don't follow, they won't suspect anything. Something else.”

It's just that if you go to the Inspection Department, it's not that far, so you're not afraid of any danger.

Mo Da breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Next, Jia Huan went to the room of sisters Mo Zhu and Mo Mei, and found that Yuanyang was also here, talking to the two sisters.

The three of them were as friendly as if they had known each other since childhood, which made Jia Huan very curious.

I secretly praised Yuanyang's social skills.

Seeing Jia Huan coming, the three women hurriedly stood up to greet him, but Yuanyang wanted to stay away.

Jia Huan said with a smile: "You are right here. I am here to ask Mo Zhu and Mo Mei to help me disguise myself. I will secretly go to the inspection department later."

When they heard that Jia Huan was about to go out in disguise, the two girls, Mo Zhu and Mo Mei, were startled. After asking carefully for a long time, they were sure that there would be no danger, and then they felt relieved.

Next, the two girls took out many bottles and jars and began to disguise Jia Huan.

Jia Huan closed his eyes and let them smear it on his face.

After a while, Mo Zhu smiled and said: "Okay, Master. Master, you took a quick look in the mirror, but do you still recognize yourself?"

Jia Huan stood up, walked to the full-length mirror and took a look in the mirror.

I found that what appeared in the mirror was a sallow face, with an ordinary and featureless appearance, the kind that would be hard to find in a crowd.

Mo Zhu Mo Mei smiled and said: "Third Master, if you change your hairstyle and clothes, as long as you don't speak, others won't be able to tell."

This disguise technique was really wonderful, and Jia Huan praised it very much.

Next, Jia Huan asked Yuanyang to change her hairstyle and clothes, and she suddenly seemed like a different person.
