The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 44 It's a False Alarm
In less than an hour, Laifu came to report.

Because of her anxiety, and because Laifu was born in a family, Aunt Xue didn't care about the rules that women usually don't see outsiders, and directly invited Laifu in.

Looking at the nervous eyes of Aunt Xue and the three people beside her, Jia Jing also asked directly: "Have you found out everything?"

"Master Hou, we've found everything out. The owner of Cuiyun Building, Zuo Sanxi, whose mother is the companion of the old lady of Jingtian Hou's Mansion, is actually the Cuiyun Building, which is the military commander of the five cities. Commander Qiu Liang's property.

As for the gambling stall, it is the property of the Black Tiger Hall in Nancheng District, and that beautiful female customer is a fragrance owner of the Black Tiger Hall, who is specially used to deal with people like Mr. Xue. "

"It's true that each has its own tricks!" Jia Jing shook her head and said, "What about the people behind the Black Tiger Hall? Find out who set up the trap inside?"

Lai Fu replied respectfully: "The Black Tiger Hall is composed entirely of refugees from outside, and there is no shadow of power behind it, but the head of the Black Tiger Hall is used to being a man, and he is filial to all government offices on a yearly and monthly basis. So no one will touch these muddy legs, and let them exist until now."

"It means that the one who designed Xue Pan this time is Heihutang himself?" Jia Jing was a little curious, "Is this Heihutang so courageous?"

"Master Hou, it should be like this! Since the beginning of the new year this year, there have been severe natural disasters in various parts of Dazhou, and the number of refugees in Shenjing has increased by tens of thousands compared with previous years, and the Black Tiger Gang composed of refugees in Nancheng is their best. It’s just that the Black Tiger Gang accepted more refugees, and the shortage of funds was a bit serious..."

"The gangsters can't eat anymore, so they set their sights on the wealthy families in Shenjing? You are so courageous!" Jia Jing felt a little inconceivable.

Hearing Laifu's words, Xue Pan on the side said angrily: "My Xue family is after Ziwei Sheren, and the business is hand-picked by the palace. How dare such a bunch of mud legs do this?"

As he was talking, he saw Xue Baochai holding Xue Pan, and said:

"Brother, do you think our family is the same as before? Have you forgotten why we entered Beijing? Even the shopkeepers of their own shops dare to fool us, let alone that guy who is looking for food?!"

In front of Jia Jing, Xue Pan's face turned red after being shaken out by his own sister, but beside his mother and sister, this "dumb bully" didn't dare to play his temper, he could only be an ass Sitting paralyzed in the teacher's chair, he refused to speak any more.

Aunt Xue next to her was secretly relieved when she heard that no force in Beijing was coveting the wealth of their Xue family.

But even so, because the matter involved Jingtianhou Mansion and Heihutang, it was not something that the Xue family could solve by themselves, so Aunt Xue turned her attention to Jia Jing again, "Please also ask Lord Hou to save me." Save our family!"

As he said, he bent down and bowed down.

Jia Jing hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop them, "They are all relatives of my own family, Aunt Xue is too polite! Since Brother Xue has found my head on this matter, I will naturally not ignore it."

Saying that, Jia Jing ordered Lai Fu to say: "Lai Fu, you can take my waist card and go to the Jingtian Hou Mansion, and tell the truth to Commander Qiu Liang."

Laifu took Jia Jing's badge and went.

The three Aunt Xue on one side were still a little uneasy, and asked, "Is that all right?"

Jia Jing laughed and said: "That's all right, Cuiyun Building is Qiu Liang's property, Brother Xue Pan had something to do with drinking in Cuiyun Building, Qiu Liang will naturally give me an explanation!
If other things were involved, it would be a little more troublesome, but now it is our founding family who met our own family, isn't it much easier! "

Seeing what Jia Jing said was certain, Aunt Xue and the three of them couldn't ask any more questions, but there was still an unconcealable worry on their faces.

There was silence in the room.

"Brother Jing, I guess it will take some time before people come back. It's getting late, why don't you just have some dinner here and wait while you eat?!" Xue Baochai broke the silence in the room.

Aunt Xue also reacted immediately, and immediately asked the servant girl to prepare a meal, "Look at this, it's almost past time, but you are still hungry!"

After a while, I saw a series of meals being brought up by the maids...

After dinner, Jia Jing was sipping hot tea when a little maid outside the door came in to announce that Lai Fu brought two strangers who he didn't know and was waiting at the door.

He signaled Aunt Xue and Baochai who were next to him to hide behind the screen for a while, while Jia Jing and Xue Pan still sat in the room.

After all, two strangers from outside the mansion came again. They were not of the same nature as Laifu. Laifu was regarded as a family child, so it would be better to avoid taboos, but this time there were outsiders, Aunt Xue and Baochai two People have to avoid it.

After calling the three of them in, Jia Jing and Xue Pan sat on the grand master's chair, Jia Jing didn't get up, and still just sipped the hot tea in her hand.

Laifu came in first, followed by the two figures brought by Laifu later.

The two of them were one tall and the other short. Compared with the figure next to them, the one in front seemed particularly thin, while the one in the back appeared to be more burly and burly.

"The villain pays homage to Master Hou!"

After entering the room, the two saluted Jia Jing who was sitting on the chair.

The thinner man at the front spoke first, "Master Hou, the villain is Zuo Liangwen from the Jingtian Hou Mansion, and he is now in charge of the housekeeper of the Jingtian Hou Mansion."

"En!" Jia Jing blew on the hot tea, and just responded, telling Zuo Liangwen that she knew.

Zuo Liangwen first explained: "Because my master has the task of patrolling Shenjing tonight, he can't get away, so he specially ordered the villain to come and inform Lord Hou!"

Pulling the tall and burly man next to him again, Zuo Liangwen continued: "As for Uncle Xue's matter, I'm really sorry, but it's our family's negligence, the villain is here to accompany you!"

As he said that, he saluted Xue Pan heavily, but Xue Pan was at a loss for what to do.

"The person next to the villain is Li Hu, the head of the Black Tiger Hall. After learning about his subordinate's self-assertive behavior, he should come to apologize to you, Lord Hou. He can beat or scold you as you please. "

Hearing this, the tall man was like pushing a golden mountain and falling a jade pillar, and knelt down with a "plop", "Master Xue's business is all because the little brats below are ignorant and offended the nobleman, so I will accompany the nobleman on their behalf." No, beat and scold, whatever Master Hou tells you!"

"You're smart." Jia Jing raised her head, looked at Li Hu who was still kneeling on the ground, and said, "However, your Black Tiger Hall set up a trick to bully the brothers of the Xue family for no reason, and this Marquis doesn't want to fight with you guys." What do you care about, but you must obtain the understanding of the brothers of the Xue family, otherwise you will be at your own risk!"

……

Not to mention how Li Hu from the Black Tiger Hall apologized to Xue Pan. Behind the screen, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai who witnessed the whole process saw it with their own eyes. Whether it was the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion or the boss of the gang, they were helpless. Such a character, just like that, was directly detained by Jia Jing's waist card, and even tremblingly kowtowed to his son/brother in the hall to admit his mistake.

Today is the day when I truly understand what the word "power" looks like!

This made Aunt Xue deeply envious, and then looked at Xue Baochai who was still gazing at the hall. The plan of entering the palace was no longer feasible, but an idea came out of Aunt Xue's mind irresistibly... …
