I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 228 Settlement
Sun Shaozu could barely be considered to be from a noble family, so it was not easy to deal with him.

Unless he asks his master Kou Xiang for help.

However, Prime Minister Kou was an upright man and would never bend the law for his own selfish ends.

In this case, we have to think of another way.

In the end, Jia Cong decided to use the strategy of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

And the knife you want to borrow has to be sharp enough.

Suddenly, Jia Cong thought of a detail about Sun Shaozu.

He was lustful, addicted to gambling and drinking, and he raped all the wives and maids in the family.

Sun Shaozu was a man whose lewdness was even worse than that of Jia Zhen and Jia She.

At this moment, Jia Cong suddenly thought of the shrew Su E he had met.

Although Su'e was fierce and aggressive, she was extremely beautiful. Even when compared with the other Twenty Beauties, she was not inferior.

If not for this, I'm afraid she wouldn't have fascinated Qin Tao, the son of the Prime Minister, to such an extent.

I wonder what would happen if Sun Shaozu, this lewd man, met Su'e, this shrew?
Whether it was Sun Shaozu who was tempted by her beauty or forced himself on her.

Even if the two of them were in love and had an affair, it would not affect his plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

However, Su'e must not reveal her identity in advance.

Although Sun Shaozu was a lewd man, he was also very cunning.

If he knew Su'e's true identity in advance, he would definitely not dare to take action.

We need to think of a way to let Sun Shaozu meet Su'e without him knowing her identity.

A lewd man like Sun Shaozu can't stand the sight of beautiful women. Once he sees one, he will definitely have evil thoughts about them.

However, for a moment, Jia Cong couldn't think of a good way to do it.

After all, he had never been in the market and didn't understand the shady ways of the market.

However, there is a sequence in learning and different specializations in skills.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, just go find a professional to ask.

Besides, it is impossible for Jia Cong to do this matter personally.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong went straight to find Ni Er.

Then he told Ni Er the whole cause and effect of the matter.

Of course, this also includes the bad behavior of Sun Shaozu and Su'e.

Although Ni Er is a commoner, he also has a chivalrous spirit.

If he were asked to harm a decent girl, he might not be willing to do so.

Even if you are willing, there will definitely be some resentment in your heart.

After hearing this, Ni Er couldn't help but smile and said, "I already know what Third Master wants to do. Just let me do this. I will make sure I live up to your trust."

As expected, professional matters should be done by professionals.

Jia Cong was overjoyed and quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to Ni Er, asking him to reward his brothers who were working below him.

……

After Ni Er returned, he did not dare to be negligent. This was something that the Third Master had ordered him to do, and he had to do it well.

After returning, Ni Er called a few younger brothers who were specially assigned to this mission and patiently gave them instructions.

Then he gave all the one hundred taels of silver to his younger brothers, and Ni Er did not keep a penny for himself.

Now that he works for Jia Cong, his annual salary alone is several hundred taels of silver, not to mention the year-end reward from the Third Master.

Ni Er was a man of loyalty, so he distributed all the money to his subordinates.

After these brothers received the silver, they immediately patted their chests and promised: "Don't worry, brother, we brothers will take care of this matter."

"Even if I fail, even if I kill him, I will never bring any harm to my second brother. Just wait for good news from us."

Ni Er laughed and cursed a few words, then drove all of them out.

Let’s talk about Ni Er’s younger brothers. Their names are easy to remember. The two leaders are called Zhang San and Li Si.

They were originally from the market, and had worked in all kinds of situations. It was only in the past two or three years, following Ni Ergan, that they gradually stopped doing this.

Now that I'm back to my old job, I'm quite skilled at it.

They mobilized their connections and soon found out the whereabouts of Sun Shaozu and Su'e.

On the second day, Zhang San and Li Si came to the Sihai Teahouse where Sun Shaozu often visited.

The reason Sun Shaozu came here was actually to seek official position.

Their Sun family has actually declined.

He gave Jia She five thousand taels of silver to ask Jia She to help him get a government job.

Unexpectedly, that old man Jia She did not do anything after taking his money. Not only did he not find him an official, he even did not return the five thousand taels of silver to him.

He didn't dare to go to the door to ask for it.

He had originally planned to urge Jia She a few more times, but he did not expect that the old man would fall ill and be bedridden.

This made Sun Shaozu dumbfounded.

The old ancestor and the second master of the Jia family didn't like him, so Sun Shaozu had to think about finding a way out elsewhere.

The reason why he often came to the Sihai Teahouse was for this reason.

Because the Sihai Teahouse is often visited by second-generation rich people who come here to drink tea and listen to music, Sun Shaozu came here just to try his luck.

On this day, Sun Shaozu came to Sihai Teahouse as usual.

He looked around but didn't find anyone available, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

At this moment, the conversation between two people on the first floor of the teahouse caught Sun Shaozu's attention.

Judging from the way they were dressed, these two men were just street thugs.

I only heard these two people say:

"Old Li, you have made a fortune, so you have to treat me to a meal today."

"Hey, what kind of windfall is this? I just ran errands for someone and helped him get a position in the Five Cities Military Department to command a small official of the sixth rank, and I made a profit of thirty or twenty taels of silver from it."

"What's the big deal? But inviting you to be the host is a small matter. The tea today is all on me."

"Tsk, Lao Li, you are too stingy, aren't you? Never mind, you don't have to buy me the tea, I'll pay for it myself. You just need to treat me to a good time at Chu's House."

Hearing this, Sun Shaozu's eyes lit up.

The commander of the Five Cities Army? A minor official of the sixth rank?
He doesn’t think it’s too small!
Although these two people are from the market, they must have connections.

God helps those who work hard, and he finally got what he waited for.

Thinking of this, Sun Shaozu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Please come in, brothers."

Zhang San and Li Si looked at each other and exchanged glances, knowing that the fish had been hooked.

Next, the three of them sat down and talked more and more.

After all, if one person has the intention and two people are willing, there is no reason why they won’t cooperate.

Zhang San and Li Si quickly won Sun Shaozu's trust.

Knowing that these two people were working in Qin Xiangfu, Li Si had an elder brother who was the housekeeper of Qin Xiangfu.

As for the elder brother Li Si, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can help others get a job.

However, this is only applicable to those below the fifth rank. It is not possible for those above the fifth rank.

Hearing this, Sun Shaozu's heart was burning with excitement.

He hurriedly stood up and invited the two of them to have some drinks.

Then the three of them changed places together.

The place to eat was chosen by Zhang San and Li Si, and they happened to pass by a theater on the way.

At the entrance of the theater, a beautiful young woman was called out and met the three men.

This young woman was Su'e, and the people who called Su'e out were arranged by Zhang San and Li Si.
