I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 97 Life reaches its peak
In the book Dream of the Red Chamber, there are as many as 732 characters with names (from Baidu, the author has not counted them).

However, only a few people have visited the show.

This Drunken King Kong has been mentioned in the chapters, which shows that he must have some extraordinary qualities.

After hearing what Jia Cong said, Liu Xianglian couldn't help but ask, "Brother Cong, have you also heard of the name of Drunken King Kong?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I have heard of it once. If it is him, he could be of use."

Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll send someone to call him and have him come look for you."

"When the time comes, just talk to him."

Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

Liu Xianglian smiled and said, "It's unorthodox to say thank you between brothers like you and me."

After Liu Xianglian left, Jia Cong drank tea and waited.

He was looking for someone to go to Jinling because he had something very important to do.

This matter concerns whether their business can continue stably, so they cannot be careless.

Less than half an hour later, the Drunken King Ni Er strode into the house drunk.

He didn't know where he was drinking, and probably because he was in a hurry, he was sweating all over.

This Drunken King Kong Ni Er has a short stature and a sturdy body.

He wore a short coat on his upper body, with his chest open, revealing a patch of hair protecting his chest.

He entered the room and hurriedly bowed, "I am Ni Er, greeting the Third Master."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I have an extremely important matter to entrust to Ni Zhuangshi. Since the matter is urgent, I am sorry to trouble Ni Zhuangshi for his hard work."

"It's really hot today. You are sweating all over. Please take a shower first to cool down. It won't be too late to talk about things later!"

This Ni Er was originally a scoundrel in the market.

It's because he has some abilities and is quite conceited.

Ni Er was not actually very willing to be invited by Liu Xianglian this time.

The children of wealthy and aristocratic families are so arrogant that they would never look down on ordinary people like them.

Working for them was too unpleasant, and Ni Er felt instinctively reluctant.

He had to go on this trip just to save Mr. Liu's face.

However, when he actually met Mr. Jia San in person, he realized that he was wrong.

After seeing him, Mr. Jia San did not show any disgust on his face.

Even to a street rogue like him, she was polite and courteous.

This made Ni Er couldn't help but sigh, this is the demeanor of a real young man from a wealthy family.

And it was precisely because of Jia Cong's almost equal dialogue with him that Ni Er began to respect him a little.

Ni Er said immediately, "I will follow Third Master's instructions. Please wait for me for a moment."

After saying that, Ni Er strode out.

And when he said a moment, it really was a moment.

A moment later, Ni Er walked in, all wet.

Seeing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mr. Ni is really straightforward. I like dealing with straightforward people the most. Mr. Ni, please take a seat."

"Third Master, please."

The two of them sat down as host and guest, drank a cup of tea, and after chatting for a while, Ni Er couldn't help but ask, "I wonder what the Third Master wants me to do?"

Jia Cong said: "It is like this, I want Ni Zhuangshi to go to Jinling."

"Go to Jinling and find out the truth of a case for me. This matter must be investigated in secret without alerting too many people."

"If we find out that there is indeed something fishy going on in the case, we will have to get detailed evidence."

"This is extremely difficult. I can't find a hero around me who can do this."

"That's why I asked Brother Liu for help. Brother Liu said that this matter must be handled by Ni Zhuangshi. No one else can do it!"

"Therefore, Brother Liu Shi recommended Ni Zhuangshi to me."

"This matter is extremely important to me. Otherwise, I would never dare to trouble Mr. Ni. Besides, I will not let Mr. Ni make this trip in vain." "Whether the matter succeeds or not, I will give you 1,000 taels of silver first. If there is indeed another story behind this case, and Mr. Ni has obtained detailed evidence, I will reward him with another 1,000 taels of silver later."

"I wonder what Mr. Ni thinks?"

After Jia Cong's words, he lifted Ni Er up high.

Ni Er knew clearly that Jia Cong was flattering him.

But what kind of person is this Mr. Jia San?

How could he not be overjoyed when such a high-ranking figure flattered him so much?

Besides, the money given to him was sufficient, and he was already addicted to alcohol.

Therefore, after hearing what Jia Cong said, Ni Er immediately patted his chest and said, "Thank you, Third Master, for your insight and liking me. If I continue to refuse, it would be really ungrateful."

"If it's something else, it's fine. If you just want to get information, Third Master, just rest assured. This is exactly what I'm good at."

"Don't worry, Third Master. No matter if there is any inside information or not, I will investigate it thoroughly."

Hearing what Ni Er said, Jia Cong could not help but be overjoyed and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll leave this matter to Ni Zhuangshi."

After saying that, Jia Cong directly took out a silver note of 1,000 taels and handed it to Ni Er.

And he mentioned the case that Ni Er needed to investigate.

After hearing this, Ni Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He originally thought that since Mr. Jia San gave him one thousand taels of silver and asked him to go to Nanjing to investigate a case, it must be a very dangerous case involving life.

This trip is probably very dangerous.

But after listening to what Mr. Jia San said, I realized that this was not the case at all.

It turned out to be just a small case.

Perhaps this case is very important to Mr. Jia San, but in his opinion, there is no danger at all.

This one thousand taels of silver was easy to earn.

Thinking of this, Ni Er picked up the silver, put it away, stood up and said, "Third Master, just wait for good news from me."

"Jinling is not far from the capital, but if you want to investigate the case secretly, it will take more than a day or two."

"In one month at the earliest, or two to three months at the slowest, we will be able to get to the bottom of this matter!"

Jia Cong also stood up and said, "In that case, I'll leave this case to Ni Zhuangshi."

Ni Er bowed and said goodbye, and Jia Cong sent him out.

After watching Ni Er go away, Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion.

I hope Ni Er can gain something from this trip, and I hope my judgment is correct.

……

Let’s talk about Xue Pan, who was riding in a carriage and heading straight to Lixiangyuan at lightning speed.

Soon, they arrived at the back door of Rongguo Mansion and Xue Pan got out of the car.

He strode back to Lixiangyuan with crab steps.

Then, he couldn't wait to go into Aunt Xue's room.

It just so happened that his sister Xue Baochai was also here at this time.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, mother and daughter, could not help but frown when they saw Xue Pan's situation.

Judging from his condition, I'm afraid he has fallen ill again. I don't know what's going on with him.

For Xue Pan, it was great that his mother and sister were both in the room.

He pulled out two thousand one hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and raised his hand -

He didn't take it seriously and humiliate Aunt Xue. Although he was a bit rude, he wouldn't go to such lengths.

He slapped the banknote on the table and said complacently, "Mom, sister, this is the money I earned in a day, how is it?"

After saying this, Xue Pan felt more comfortable than ever before from the inside out.

It seemed that at this moment, his life reached its peak.
