The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 81 [081] It is said that the setting sun is the end of the world

At the same time, in Yangzhou City's Xunyan Yushi Mansion.

After Lin Ruhai took several medicines, his condition didn't improve, but got worse.

How did he know that he was not sick, but poisoned.

The murderer who poisoned him was lurking at home.

And the behind-the-scenes mastermind of this murderer is the salt merchant in Yangzhou City.

Lin Ruhai felt that time was running out, and there were no children and grandchildren around her knees, so she felt desolate, so she had to call the housekeeper to him, and asked him to send someone to the Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing City to find Lin Daiyu immediately, and inform Lin Daiyu to come back quickly, so as not to let go suddenly There is no one to deal with the funeral.

On the other side, Jia Qiang heard someone calling "Huang Taiji" from behind, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she suddenly realized that the three people behind her should be Huang Taiji and his two subordinates.

Jia Qiang tilted her head slightly, and glanced back from the corner of her eye.

I saw a civil servant in a purple official gown and a black gauze hat walking towards Huang Taiji with a smile on his face from the fork on the left side of the intersection.

Annoyance and displeasure flashed across Huang Taiji's face, but he still pretended to be very happy, immediately got off his horse, greeted the civil servant with a smile on his face, cupped his fists and saluted:
"It's true that we meet everywhere in life! Huang Taiji has met Mr. Hai!"

Jia Qiang's eyes flickered, this person really was Huang Taiji.

So why is he following me?

It seems that he already suspected that I was the one who hunted down him and Nurhachi last night!

Last night, Jia Qiang kept her face covered and stayed in the carriage without showing her face. Huang Taiji never saw his true face.

Jia Qiang reckoned that the reason why Huang Taiji had doubts about him should be because he hit the hemp rope hanging the bronze bell with an arrow just now.

And last night, he shot an arrow through the door of Nurhachi's carriage.

Huang Taiji should have doubted him because of his archery skills.

But Huang Taiji must not have conclusive evidence to prove that Jia Qiang was the one who chased him and Nurhachi last night.

In other words, Huang Taiji and his two subordinates followed Jia Qiang, in fact, to investigate whether Jia Qiang was the sharp archer last night?
Jia Qiang estimated that Huang Taiji, in order to investigate clearly, probably wanted to find a chance to capture herself alive and press for the truth.

Thinking of this, the corners of Jia Qiang's lips raised slightly, Huang Taiji wanted to go with him, and he led the three of them to this secluded alley, in fact, he wanted to capture each other alive.

However, it was a coincidence that the plans of both parties were interrupted by Mr. Hai.

"This civil servant's surname is Hai."

Among the civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty, people with the surname Hai are very rare.

Jia Qiang's eyes suddenly brightened, and she suddenly remembered that the current head of the household department is Hai Rui Hai Qingtian.

It seems that this Mr. Hai should be Hai Rui!
Jia Qiang became curious about this honest and upright official, so she took a few more glances.

Hai Rui had a long beard under his jaw and a mustache under his nose. His appearance was thin and his face was sallow, which should be caused by long-term malnutrition. Moreover, there were two sickly blushes on his cheekbones. The person's mental state is sluggish, and he looks either sick or injured.

In order to prevent Huang Taiji from becoming alarmed, Jia Qiang did not rein in her horse to stop, but continued to walk forward.

As the distance gradually increased, Jia Qiang could no longer hear what Hai Rui and Huang Taiji were talking about.

Now that Huang Taiji's identity has been clarified, and Huang Taiji is being stalked and chatted by Hai Rui, Jia Qiang can no longer follow the original plan to capture Huang Taiji and his two subordinates alive.

Jia Qiang secretly speculated in her heart: Now, Huang Taiji probably doesn't know my identity. In order to prevent the other party from finding out where I live, I should take this opportunity to get rid of them first, so as to prevent Huang Taiji from finding out where I live. After Rongguo Mansion, send someone to Rongguo Mansion to trouble me.

Jia Qiang wasn't afraid of Huang Taiji, but because he didn't want to get involved in Rongguo Mansion.Moreover, his power is still relatively weak now, and he urgently needs time to develop and grow. It is not yet time to openly enmity with Huang Taiji, and it will not be too late to deal with Huang Taiji and Nurhachi when the army is strong in the future.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang slammed the horse's belly, whipped the horse, and ran at a high speed, and soon ran to the end of the street, and then turned a corner.

At the moment of turning the corner, he looked back and saw that Huang Taiji was still talking with Hai Rui.

After successfully getting rid of Huang Taiji, Jia Qiang went straight back to Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard of Luxue Temple, Wang Lang ran up to Jia Qiang excitedly, and said with a smile:

"Brother Qiang, our ten big white pigs have given birth to a total of 38 little piglets."

Jia Qiang was startled for a moment, but then she was overjoyed.

At present, there is no such excellent breed of large white pigs in Ming Dynasty. When there are more large white pigs bred in the future, they can be sold to the outside world. Lay a solid material foundation for the rebellion.

Jia Qiang smiled and said:
"Great, it's all the result of your careful care. Your martial arts skills are so strong that you have become so talented. I would like to invite you to be the deputy head of the Rose Escort. I wonder what your intentions are?"

Wang Lang was taken aback for a moment, and after a little hesitation, he smiled and said:

"Thank you Brother Qiang for thinking about me, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, and willing to take up the position of deputy head of the bodyguard."

In fact, he originally wanted to say goodbye to Jia Qiang and find another job elsewhere.

But he didn't expect Jia Qiang to think highly of him so much, so he was embarrassed to resign.

Jia Qiang patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Great, you are the founder of the Mantis Boxing School. Having you join the Rose Escort will be even more powerful. If you work hard in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

Wang Lang was slightly taken aback, raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Brother Qiang, I never told you what kind of martial arts I practice, how do you know that I use Mantis Fist?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"Because your movement and moves are very similar to a praying mantis! I also want to ask, as the grandmaster of the Mantis boxing school, instead of recruiting apprentices in Jimo and spreading branches and leaves, you went to Shenjing City to apply for a swineherd. Why?

What difficulties did you encounter?Or is there something else hidden?I'm just curious, if you find it inconvenient to tell me, don't tell me, I don't want to embarrass you. "

At this time, the end of the year is approaching, and every house is decorated with lanterns and festoons, preparing for a reunion year. Lin Daiyu looks at the white clouds in the sky outside the window, and misses her father.

Unknowingly, tears welled up in her loving eyes.

Zicuckoo asked cautiously:
"Miss Lin, do you think of something sad? Why are you crying again?"

Lin Daiyu picked up the handkerchief, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a sad smile:

"I was suddenly homesick, so it touched my heart. You help me spread the paper and ink. I want to write a poem to express the feeling of homesickness in my heart."

"Hey! Good!" Zijuan sighed softly, spread out a piece of Xuelang paper on the table, then washed the brush and ink, and stood by the side.

Lin Daiyu dipped the pen in the ink, and wrote a poem like a snake:

"Jiang Chengzi is slow. Hope the old man returns.
The haze is small and the water is indistinct.

Outside the bamboo wall, the lotus girl raises a light pole.

Thin smoke surrounds.

Song a song, Yiyin green shoes and yellow hat.

Cailian tune.

Look far away for the shadow of the crane in the Jianglou, every year, Jinbomeizi grows old.

Drunk is even more affectionate, Jiang Tian is extraordinarily aggressive.

The solitary sail sets in the sun and passes by the water, reflecting the fine clouds and weaving the brocade, and the shadows of the rosy clouds shine.

Support the blue bird.

Kunlun sends, Qingyou travels back early.

Harvest spirit grass.

The high plate of the new moon is filled with jade, and there are few disturbances under the heavy door and deep steps.

Rhyme and Fengguan Longsheng are pretty. "

After writing the last word, the homesickness pent up in her heart finally eased a little.

But how did she know that her father might not be dying soon, so she had already sent people to Shenjing City.
