The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 666
"She went to Jiao's house?"

Jia Lian, who felt uneasy because of the premonition of the green cloud, was stunned for a moment when he heard the news that the young man had returned from the third inquiry, and then hurriedly asked: "Is the news reliable?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

The young man replied firmly: "Just because he said he was going to Jiao's house to visit relatives, the city inspector reluctantly let him go, so he specially sent a few people to follow him, saying that he would ask Uncle Jiao to be a security guard in person. .”

Since the people from the City Patrol Division followed, they should have gone to Jiao's house.

Jia Lian's face turned pale, and he thought to himself, "I don't know who else, but I still don't know what Jiao Shun looks like?"A vulgar and vulgar man, if he were a woman, he would never look down on him like that.

perhaps……

That woman said that sentence just to make her think wildly?
After some self-consolation, Jia Lian's mood immediately improved a lot, but just in case, he was going to rush to Jiao's house overnight to bring Wang Xifeng back.

So he rushed to the west corner gate in a hurry, and was about to go out on horseback, but was stopped by the patrolmen.

Jia Lian was already in a hurry, so she couldn't help waving her whip and scolded: "Are you blind? You didn't stop the woman who committed the crime, but came to stop me?!"

The guards didn't dare to offend him, so they surrounded him with apologetic smiles and said, "Don't be annoyed, Second Master Lian, we can't do anything about it. You see, Second Mistress has already left the house. If you leave again, Shangfeng asks, we really can't help it." It’s impossible to explain.”

Although she said a lot of soft words, she didn't mean to step aside at all.

Seeing that he couldn't do it by force, Jia Lian was about to make a compromise like Wang Xifeng and asked them to send a few people to follow him. Suddenly, he saw a few horses galloping towards him in the night, and the leader was a young eunuch.

Jia Lian was shocked right away, afraid that he would be implicated by the Wang family again.

Fortunately, the little eunuch was close, so he raised his voice and said: "There is a letter from the family of the Xiande Concubine, please pass it on quickly!"

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but then raised his heart in his throat.

Since Jia Yuanchun made his comeback, there has never been a single word spread out, and the Rongguo Mansion tried to put the family letters in the palace, but they were all like mud cows into the sea, and there was no sound at all.

Now that Wang Ziteng had just conclusive evidence of the crime, she sent a letter from home overnight. Who would believe it if it was said that it had nothing to do with it? !

It was a matter of his family and life, so he didn't care about chasing Wang Xifeng anymore, so he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the eunuch in, making indirect inquiries, but the little eunuch was just running errands to deliver letters, and he didn't even have the name of delivering the decree. If not, how could it be possible to give an answer?

Just like that, he was welcomed into the Rongxi Hall, and Jia Zheng also rushed to hear the news not long after.

Since it was a letter from the family and not a reward from the will, there was no need for those red tapes. After receiving the letter from the eunuch, Jia Zheng couldn't wait to open it and read it word by word.

After reading it, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression eased a lot. He raised his head and smiled at the eunuch delivering the letter, and said, "Please wait a moment, Eunuch, I will write a letter right away, and Eunuch Lao will take it back and report back."

"Good to say, good to say."

The eunuch had already gained a lot of benefits just now, so he is naturally very talkative now.

Jia Zheng turned to the ear room. Just as he was about to flip through the four treasures of the study, Jia Lian who followed behind couldn't wait to ask: "Uncle, what did your mother write in the letter? But it has something to do with Wang Taiwei's matter this time?"

"You're worrying too much."

Jia Zheng pretended to be calm and breezy, but the cold sweat on his body hadn't completely subsided. He spread the letter paper and picked up a brush, while smiling, "It's just an ordinary letter from home. The empress asked us in the letter. Regarding the current situation of the family, I urged Baoyu to say a few more words—then about that girl Xiangyun, the empress asked her in detail about her recent preferences, most likely because she wanted to reward her."

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but felt that the matter should not be so simple, or it should not be such a coincidence, so he looked at the letter from home eagerly again.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng pushed the family letter in front of him and said, "Look for yourself."

Jia Lian quickly picked it up with both hands, carefully took out the letter paper inside and looked at it line by line, the content was indeed the same as what Jia Zheng said.

only……

After greeting the elders such as the old lady, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing, the first one mentioned by the peers was neither Jia Baoyu nor Shi Xiangyun, but Lin Daiyu.

Although the pen and ink used on Lin Daiyu is far less than when Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu were mentioned later, it still seems a bit abrupt.

For a moment, Jia Lian couldn't figure out why this suddenness came about, so he just thought that Yuanchun wanted to care about his cousin on a whim—this is not without precedent, Xue Baochai had won this honor before, and Lin Daiyu was usually tied with Sanchun Now that there is no Baochai, it is reasonable for Daiyu to come to the top.

So after reading it, he completely relaxed, and said with a smile: "My lady can hand out such a letter from home, so there must be no problems at home."

In this way, I don't have to rush to divorce my wife anymore...

wrong!

As soon as the crisis was over, he suddenly remembered the ominous omen covered by the green cloud, and wished he could go out and chase Wang Xifeng immediately.

However, according to family practice, since the eunuch was brought in by himself, he should send it out by himself. There must be a suitable reason for this temporary withdrawal-he didn't want Jia Zheng to know that Wang Xifeng was probably going to be a Buddhist scripture up.

Just as I was worried, I suddenly saw Madam Wang leading Tanchun in, half eagerly and half frightenedly asking: "What did the elder sister write in the letter?! Could it be from the Wang family..."

"It has nothing to do with your mother's affairs!"

Jia Zheng replied coldly, and incidentally signaled Jia Lian to forward the family letter to Mrs. Wang for review.

Mrs. Wang took it in her hand and saw it from beginning to end. While she was relieved, she was also worried——Jia Yuanchun did not mention anything about the Wang family in the letter. It might be good news for Rongguo Mansion, but for She and Wang Xifeng had never seen this at all.

But because of Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, she is much less dependent on her natal family than Wang Xifeng, so this worry is not too strong.

Seeing her froze with a complex expression, Tanchun who had been waiting beside her for a long time couldn't help coughing lightly.

Only then did Mrs. Wang think of passing the family letter on to her.

Tanchun took it and glanced at it first, then frowned and read it carefully again. She also noticed the abruptness in the order, but she didn't vaguely pass it like Jia Zheng and others. After thinking carefully for a while, she suddenly said: "Master, do you want Brother Jiao to help you appraise this letter from home?"

"Ok?"

Jia Zheng, who was writing a reply, and Jia Lian, who was worrying about finding a reason to get out as soon as possible, all looked over at them.

Jia Zheng put down the brush in his hand, and asked with some displeasure, "What do you mean by that? Is there something wrong with the letter?"

"It's not wrong, but..."

Tanchun considered it carefully and said: "This is the first time that your mother asked about Sister Lin alone, but she was ranked ahead of Sister Xiangyun and Brother Bao, and she asked such detailed questions. Don't you think it's strange, Master?"

"This……"

Jia Zheng also felt a little strange when he heard what she said, but he didn't think about it deeply, and he didn't want to show his timidity in front of his daughter, so he waved his hands indifferently and said: "What's so strange about this, isn't your mother once Are Baochai and Xiangyun mentioned separately?"

How can this be confused?
Not to mention that when mentioning the two of them, they never surpassed Baoyu as his own brother. Just judging from the practice of the past, Jia Yuanchun obviously didn't like Lin Daiyu's cousin very much, but now he suddenly ranked her at the top. No matter how you think about it, it's very wrong!

But it is not easy to say these words clearly in front of Jia Zheng, she can only find another way: "Even if you don't mention this matter, it is worth our careful consideration just because of the intention of the empress to send the letter from the family - besides, the empress is in the letter. I asked repeatedly about Sister Xiangyun's preferences, which must have made us rely on Big Brother Jiao."

Jia Zheng didn't refute it this time, after all, he was worried that something serious had happened at the beginning.

Jia Lian was in the state of repelling Jiao Shun instinctively, and subconsciously retorted after hearing the words: "Then let's figure it out for ourselves, why bother..."

Halfway through the talk, he suddenly came to his senses. Isn't this the right reason for him to go to Jiao's house overnight?

Then he made a 180-degree turn and said, "However, Jiao Shun does have some skills, so it's not a bad idea to ask him to help with Zhang Zhangyan——If uncle doesn't object, my nephew will go to Jiao's house overnight!"

His inconsistency caused everyone to stare at him.

However, Jia Zheng didn't ask why, and after a moment of pondering, he nodded and said, "That's all, then you can take this book with you for a while."

As if being pardoned, Jia Lian left in a hurry.

The guards outside were afraid that he was following the concubine Xiande's will, but this time they didn't dare to stop him, so they consciously sent two people to follow on horseback - not because they didn't want to send more people to follow, The main reason is that there are not enough horses.

Speechless all the way.

When he rushed to Jiao's house in a hurry, it was nearly three quarters of an hour later than Wang Xifeng, but Jia Lian didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, in his mind, even if the two of them were to hook up, they had to go through the process of hooking up first. , you can't just go straight to planting and fertilizing right away?
So when he arrived at Jiao's house, he calmed down and took a seat in the front hall without haste, just waiting for Jiao Shun to come to entertain the guests.

When the news spread to the Hou Zhai, Wang Xifeng, who was already weak but gritted his teeth, heard this, and couldn't help sniffling and sneering: "At this point, does he know he's in a hurry? It's too late!"

That's right, it should have been urgent last year.

Jiao Shun sighed, got up and said, "It's already here, so I have to meet him for a while."

Wang Xifeng wanted to get up as a gesture: "Then I'll go find Xiangyun... Forget it, I'll finish my tea first."

hehe~
Jiao Shun cast a disdainful glance at the stubborn woman, and went out to the living room in the front yard.

After meeting and exchanging a few pleasantries, although Jia Lian was eager to know Wang Xifeng's movements, she felt that she shouldn't show cowardice in Jiao Shun. Besides, everyone is already here, so what is there to worry about?
So suppressing the restlessness in my heart, I first took out the family letter and said: "I came this time mainly because my mother suddenly revised a letter. Although the content is just an ordinary family letter, the elders in the family are worried that there are other secrets, so I want to ask Brother Shun Palm your eyes for help."

"My mother's family letter?"

Jiao Shun's heart moved, he took it over and glanced a few times, when he saw Lin Daiyu abruptly standing in front of Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu, he immediately understood it, gently put the family book aside, and sighed: "Your Majesty is indeed a woman." Don't let the eyebrows realize what's wrong so quickly."

"Ok?"

Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it—Jiao Shun had only glanced at it a few times, could it be that he could read it more thoroughly than himself?

Seeing this, Jiao Shun said again: "Originally I was just guessing, but now that I have the family letter from the empress, it should be conclusive—the empress is worried, she is only afraid that there will be changes in the Lin family."

"The Lin family has changed?"

Jia Lian was even more confused, what Lin family, where did the Lin family come from?Is there still a serious Lin family?

"To be exact, I was worried that Lin Ruhailin, the inspector who died in office, would be involved in this party strife."

"This……"

Jia Lian vaguely grasped something from Jiao Shun's emphasis on the word "Xunyan Yushi", but he hadn't fully comprehended it, subconsciously said: "How is this possible, my uncle has passed away for several years... ...Hiss~!"

After all, he is not a complete idiot, halfway through the talk, he thought that it is because there is no evidence of death that he is the most suitable to take the blame!

He took a deep breath and murmured: "No wonder the empress suddenly put Sister Lin in front, it turns out..."

"Yes."

Jiao Shun nodded and said, "Once Mrs. Lin is involved, Miss Lin will probably be imprisoned—fortunately, when she came out of Rongguo Mansion, those patrols had carefully searched her, and it was a blessing in disguise that she saved a lot of trouble." .”

"Searched, spared trouble?"

Jia Lian didn't understand again.

"Yes, salt officials have always been either honest or corrupt. If it is found out that Mr. Lin is conniving at the township party to sell private salt, then the court will naturally trace the family property left by him. At that time..."

squeak~
Before Jiao Shun finished speaking, Jia Lian stood up in shock, with such force that he knocked the chair back half a foot, making a piercing rubbing sound.

"what happened?"

Jiao Shun knew why and asked.

"No, nothing."

Jia Lian replied tremblingly, but his pale face and the cold sweat that was seeping out quickly obviously betrayed the fear and shock in his heart.

He subconsciously took two steps outside, and only then remembered that he wanted to say goodbye to Jiao Shun, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "This is a big matter, I'm going to report to my uncle right away!"

Said, turned around and left.

Jiao Shun hurriedly picked up the letter on the table, rushed over and handed it to him.

Jia Lian only had time to say thank you before stumbling into the night.

uh~
Watching his back disappear, Jiao Shun stroked his chin and was speechless for a while before returning to the backyard.

Seeing him coming in, Wang Xifeng got up immediately and asked, "Where's Jia Lian? What did he tell you?"

"It is said that the empress in the palace sent a letter from home, asking me to help with the palm."

"Other than that?!"

At other times, Wang Xifeng might have paid attention to the family letter immediately, but now she cares more about Jia Lian's feedback on her night trip to Jiao's mansion.

"Um……"

Jiao Shun spread his hands together: "Other than that, I didn't say anything."

"how is this possible?!"

Wang Xifeng firmly refused to believe it.

"Really, he has already gone back."

"This this……"

Seeing Jiao Shun's promise, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but gritted his silver teeth and said, "He really deserves to be a tortoise bastard!"

As he said that, he rushed forward and picked Jiao Shun's clothes, obviously wanting to use practical actions to continue to add bricks and tiles to Jia Lian's turtle image.

Jiao Shun didn't dodge or evade this time, he just looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Are you sure you can still succeed?"

"Why not?!"

Wang Xifeng cocked his neck, and immediately said decisively: "The big deal is to call Ping'er to help out!"
