Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 54: Clearing up the misunderstanding, the senior official expresses his position. Jia Qiang is besieged and robbed.
Chapter 54: Clearing up the misunderstanding, the senior official expresses his position. Jia Qiang is besieged and robbed.
Ling Guan looked at Jia Lan unhappily and shouted loudly: "Jia Qiang is here, what should I say to him? I am not his servant or his teacher, what do I have to say to him?!" Looking at Jia Lan's stunned expression, Lingguan suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly became bloodless. Even under the yellowish light in the study, it was still frighteningly pale.
"Could it be?! Young master thought that Jia Qiang and I..."
"Yeah!"
Unexpectedly, Jia Lan nodded calmly, and the senior official's expression became even worse.
But Jia Lan quickly picked up the conversation and said, "Don't you have a very good relationship with Brother Qiang? I saw you talking and laughing on the official road that day."
"Ah?" Ling Guan was stunned for a moment and looked at Jia Lan intently.
Jia Lan thought that Lingguan didn't hear clearly, so he explained again. Lingguan was stunned on the spot, but his face was not as ugly as before.
That’s it! Ling Guan’s face showed a little surprise. Jia Lan actually took the day he lost his temper to Jia Qiang as proof of their good relationship. Seeing Jia Lan’s calm face, Ling Guan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Come to think of it, I actually misunderstood Jia Lan.
Seeing that the senior officer's complexion improved, Jia Lan's heart slowly relaxed.
[Fortunately, I am alert, and my young age still has its advantages. I can pretend to be crazy and act stupid...]
Soon, Lingguan's expression returned to normal and he said seriously: "Master, I admit that I was reluctant to come here before. But now that I'm here, and Master treats me well, and he has the grace to save my life, it's not that Lingguan doesn't know.
Those who are good and bad should do their best to serve the young master from now on.
Mr. Qiang is a foreigner, so it is inconvenient for me to see him."
Seeing this, Jia Lan did not dare to mention Jia Qiang again, so he could only nod his head and bury his head in reading.
After looking at it for a moment, he raised his head again and said to Ling Guan: "Actually, what I just wanted to say is that you can sing very nicely. You don't have to worry about taboos. I don't care about this here, but if you go to Rong Mansion, you will still sing.
You have to be careful."
The senior official is a blessing: "Young Master is reminding me that the senior official will pay attention to it in the future."
【Wrong, crossed the line.】
Jia Lan knew that he couldn't test the senior officer on Jia Qiang's issue in the short term.
Anyway, she is still young, so it’s better to let her experience it slowly.
After thinking about this, Jia Lan began to read again, while Ling Guan stood aside quietly. The study room returned to silence, as if what happened just now had never happened.
But for the person reading and standing, a person's name could not help but pass through their minds.
Jia Qiang.
"Aqiu!"
"Oh, Brother Qiang! Don't make a sound. If you make a sound, you will attract those killers!"
"You think I don't understand?! I don't know which killer is talking about me, causing me to sneeze violently." Jia Qiang wiped her face and looked around, but her mouth was not free, talking to the people around her
Talking.
"I asked you both to stop talking! If you have time, you might as well look around more!"
A man in fur in front of them turned around and shouted in a low voice, and Jia Qiang immediately closed her mouth.
Although it was daytime at this time, the three of them were crawling in the ice and snow, surrounded by dense woods, constantly looking around.
"Brother Ni, it seems those killers didn't catch up."
The three of them stared at the ground for a long time. The surroundings were still silent before Jia Qiang spoke again.
The man he called "Brother Ni" did not relax at all. His eyes did not leave the horizon for a moment, but he nodded slightly.
"After twenty breaths, if there is no movement, we will go east!"
"Going east?" People around Jia Qiang asked in surprise, "Shouldn't we go south? Where we are now, the right way is to go south to Liaodong Dusi?"
The man turned back: "Master Zhao, even you think so, and other people must also think so, but we don't want to go south. They probably don't expect that the hundreds of households in Dongzhou Fort in the east are brothers of my same clan. They borrowed money from Dongzhou Fort
With horses, we can naturally get out of trouble."
Jia Qiang was overjoyed after hearing this: "I will do as Brother Ni San said! It's so easy to attack the east and the west!"
The three of them carefully turned back north and headed east along the gentle path along the river. Half a day later, there was a commotion behind them, a cloud of dust and smoke rose from the ground, and dozens of fast horses galloped towards them, obviously heading towards the three of them.
Jia Qiang and the others have been running around for a day, and they are already hungry. There is a plain on all sides, how can they escape?
The leader of the horse-beating man laughed loudly, took the riding whip and sneered at Ni San: "Master Ni, what a spirit! You actually started to play in the east and attack the west. If the people I sent to Shenjing hadn't found out your name, and happened to think of this
It seems that the 100 households guarding Dongzhou Fort also have the surname Ni. I guess I will be deceived by you too!"
Behind him, more than fifty villagers followed on horseback. Each of these villagers carried short bows behind their backs and stared at Jia Qiang and the others fiercely.
Ni San stopped resisting and simply sat down, panting and saying to Jia Qiang with a sad smile: "Brother Qiang, we are really in trouble now."
Jia Qiang looked at the people around her, her eyes were a little dark, her ears were buzzing, and she felt like she was about to fall to the ground like a pool of ooze, but she still kept a straight face and used her last bit of strength to move towards those people.
The man shouted: "My surname is Wu, I am the great-great-grandson of the Ningguo Mansion. How dare you kill me?!"
The man on the horse laughed loudly: "Great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion? Even if you, Mr. Jing of Ningguo Mansion, come to my territory, you have to obey me! What's more, you are a great-great-grandson of Lao Shizi? Anyway, there are a small number of Beidi people in this place all year round.
Come here to hunt in the autumn wind, and then I will send a message to the government, saying that you unfortunately encountered something wrong while you were out hunting."
"You! You..." Jia Qiang was so angry that she was shaking all over, but her momentum gradually dissipated.
The man waved his hand back, and half of the villagers untied their short bows and pointed them at Jia Qiang and the others, waiting for an order.
Jia Qiang's face was filled with regret, and she deeply hated herself for accepting Lao Shizi's life-threatening job just to curry favor with Jia Lan. Facing more than twenty black and shiny arrows in front of her, Jia Qiang got furious and mustered up her last courage to curse.
"You surnamed Wu, you tortured the villagers, were greedy for profit, and even colluded with other places to smuggle supplies. Such traitorous behavior for seeking glory, do you still have the face to meet your ancestors and Duke Ning Rong?"
”
"Hahaha, you still have to be tough when you are about to die? Doesn't all this have nothing to do with your Jia family? I agreed that I would only serve for one term, but starting from me, Wu Jinyong, my father, and my grandfather,
Our Wu family has stayed in this bitter cold land for three generations!
My grandfather and father both died fighting against the Beidi people to protect Zhuangzi. Do you, the Jia family, get any pension? It’s just a small donation like a beggar... Is this what you call a pension?
?!"
Wu Jinyong, a man in his sixties, with his beard and hair growing, glared at Jia Qiang and retorted for a while, making Jia Qiang not sure how to respond.
Ni San sneered after hearing this, and said sarcastically: "If you don't want to do it anymore, just write a resignation letter and return to your hometown. Why bother with your mother-in-law? You don't want to do errands, and you can't part with money. You push the mill and occupy the mill, no matter what.
If you take advantage of it, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"You!" Wu Jinyong was furious and ordered: "In that case, stop talking nonsense, gentlemen!"
Everyone in Wujiazhuang drew their short bows and pointed their arrows at Jia Qiang and the others.
Jia Qiang closed her eyes and shouted in her heart: "My life is at stake!"
