The night was dark, and Lian Er returned to the small courtyard where he lived with a gloomy face.
"Second Master is back!"
Ping'er hurriedly stepped forward to wait on her. Wang Xifeng, who was already in royal attire, asked curiously: "What did the old lady say?"
"Hey, I must catch those two bastards who talked nonsense and made Baoyu faint with anger!"
Lian Er had no expression on his face and said sarcastically: "You really think of me as a detective!"
"Is this the second master's plan, and he is going to violate it?"
Wang Xifeng saw the man's thoughts at a glance, shook her head and said: "I'm afraid the old lady won't be satisfied, Baoyu has been tortured a lot this time!"
"That's not the reason why I can use it for public use!"
Lian Er sneered and said: "Do you think Shuntian Yamen is run by the government? Even the empress in the palace would not dare to say such big words!"
After a pause, he continued: "Besides, it's not like you can't find out how the noble disciples who brought Baoyu back reacted. They obviously disapprove of some of Baoyu's actions!"
Wang Xifeng raised her brows slightly and asked curiously: "By the way, when it comes to the matter of official dismissal, is Baoyu really so heartless and unjust?"
"It's not as exaggerated as what people say. Baoyu just didn't take the responsibility and told the second master the whereabouts of the Han official!"
Lian Er shook his head and sighed: "In order to avoid antagonism with Prince Zhongshun, the second master finally told the people of Prince Zhongshun's house the news he got from Baoyu!"
Wang Xifeng was speechless, this was a mistake...
"Of course, Baoyu's performance is definitely not good!"
Lian Er sneered: "At that time, the long history of Prince Zhongshun was scared away by his third brother, and he was protected by his second wife. There was no need to tell the second master where Han Guan was hiding. I can only say that he is not worthy of close friendship!"
"yes……"
Wang Xifeng sighed: "I didn't expect Baoyu to be such a person. I will naturally be more cautious when dealing with him in the future!"
Lian Er shook his head and said: "Baoyu's matter is actually not big. The key is that the second master can't even tell whether Prince Zhongshun is hostile or not, and he really doesn't know what to say!"
"Prince Zhongshun, why are you causing trouble with the palace?"
Wang Xifeng frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Normally, the government has no contact with him, so it is unlikely that he will offend him directly!"
"This is all a matter for the older generation. All you need to know is that Prince Zhongshun has a bad relationship with the palace!"
Lian Er sneered and said: "Otherwise, the third brother would not have caught Prince Zhongshun in the previous big case of philandering, and wiped out all the external forces of this guy. He could only cower in the palace and feel aggrieved!"
"What the second master means is that Prince Zhongshun was so severely punished by Brother Cong that he didn't even dare to retaliate?"
Wang Xifeng's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
"Haha, do you know how proud third brother is?"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "The third brother's family, which is famous in the capital, is very powerful. If he were to be included in it, it might be infamy for a hundred years!"
Having said this, he glanced at Wang Xifeng lightly and said with a chuckle: "Now you know why the eldest master and I protect our third brother so much, right?"
Wang Xifeng was speechless for a moment. What should she say? She had never experienced such a strange thing before, so she had no way to comment.
"The old lady is indeed old!"
Lian Er shook his head and sighed: "I'm slow to respond to external things, so maybe I'm not willing to understand at all. When something happens, I'm always asked to do this or that. Do you really think I have much energy?"
"Why do you have to say such depressing words, Second Master?"
Wang Xifeng was unhappy and said angrily: "No matter what, the second master is the second person in Shuntian Mansion!"
"The best place in the capital has too many powerful people!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "Even the governor doesn't dare to act recklessly, so what if I, the second-in-command, are caught and impeached by the imperial censor, I don't know when I will be dismissed from office and go back to the government to rest on my laurels!"
"Is it really that serious?"
"Of course, who knows what kind of existence those two guys are who revealed all kinds of secrets and made Baoyu mad. They even know the news about Prince Zhongshun's palace!"
Wang Xifeng's heart trembled, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lian Er's worries were justified.
If the other party had an extraordinary background, Lian Er would not hesitate to send people to arrest him, but wouldn't he just jump into the pit himself?
"But the old lady's instructions..."
Wang Xifeng was used to flattering the old lady, so naturally she felt a little afraid.
"Put it off as long as you can!"
Lian Er didn't care much. He didn't rely on the old lady's resources for a living, so there was no need to worry too much about getting himself involved.
If something really happens, will the old lady try her best to save it?
Lian Er's brain has not yet been exposed, how could he have such naive ideas.
“We can’t stay in this yard any longer!”
On second thought, he spoke again: "Let's move to the big house and find a big yard. If anything happens, the big man can help with it!"
He was really disadvantaged because of his junior status. As soon as the old lady gave an order, he had to run around to follow the instructions. Even if it was done, would he still get any benefits?
Wang Xifeng instinctively wanted to object, but Lian Er's considerations were not unreasonable.
The old lady is actually not too troublesome, at least she won't deliberately trouble the junior.
The real headache for Wang Xifeng is the increasingly arrogant Mrs. Wang.
In the evening, the old lady called Lian Er to come over and give orders. It is estimated that tomorrow Mrs. Wang will call her over to give orders, asking her to urge Lian Er to catch the person as soon as possible.
Co-authored, the couple couldn't run away from such an offending thing, and they wouldn't be able to help if something happened in the end. It's a beautiful idea.
"Don't worry, as long as the eldest master lives a leisurely life, he has no interest in our affairs!"
Lian Er advised: "As for my wife, she is now focused on her private business and doesn't even care about the affairs of the government. No one can compete with you for power!"
"Okay then, let's move out of here as soon as possible!"
Wang Xifeng felt relieved and chuckled: "This yard is indeed a bit small, and it's not far from the second wife's residence. You can't hide anything you want to do from anyone!"
"As long as you know what's in your mind!"
Lian Er pondered: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of opportunities to go out and socialize in the future. It will be more convenient to move to a big house. Just bring a few girls with you. Don't bring Baoyu with you, otherwise you will be offended."
People!"
Just kidding, no one outside would spoil a phoenix egg. A fifteen-year-old young man mixed in with a group of beautiful girls would destroy a large area.
"Speaking of this, I really didn't expect that Prince Chu and Qiu Liang would give brother Cong face like this. Not only did they come here themselves, but they also brought their wives with them. They really underestimated this kid before!"
"I can only say that Third Brother's ability is worthy of these two friendships!"
Lian Er smiled and said: "Fortunately, Baoyu didn't follow me this time, otherwise I know the result wouldn't be too good if I think about it!"
Hey!
The next day, Lian Er left the government office on time. After a busy day of official duties, he did not rush back to the government office, but went to Jia Cong's residence first.
"In other words, Brother Bao was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted after a few words?"
Jia Cong was speechless for a while, he didn't expect Phoenix Egg to encounter such a troublesome thing.
"The old lady called me over last night and asked me to catch those two people as soon as possible. She said she wanted to vent her anger on Baoyu!"
Lian Er continued: "No, I can't go back home directly after I leave the office. I'll stay with you for a while first!"
"What a coincidence, even if you don't come, I will send someone to invite you!"
"Oh, what's wrong, third brother?"
"Is such that……"
Jia Cong talked about Liu Xianglian's matter, and finally said calmly: "I think this person can still be accepted. After we find out his background and character and there are no problems, it's time to take action against the second brother. Is an elder brother like a father?"
!”
"The age of welcoming the Spring Festival is indeed the time to get married!"
Lian Er's attitude was a little cold, but he still agreed to Jia Cong's suggestion and asked curiously: "Does the third brother look good at Liu Xianglian?"
"This guy has good martial arts skills, and he has also been involved in the martial arts world. He has a deep understanding of the ways and dirty tricks of some martial arts circles. Whether he is working with the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division or working with the Tianfu Yamen, he can easily achieve results!"
Jia Cong said calmly: "What we are missing here is a backer and a relatively fair environment. Can we do it easily?"
At this point, he added: "It will be arranged when Princess Yuanchun's status is still stable and the situation in the palace is relatively good. She will be able to make her mark in just a few years. Even if she is the commander of the Sixth-Rank Five-City Military and Horse Division, it is not
impossible!"
"That being said, this guy is really worth pushing!"
Lian Er nodded in approval and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for the news from you, but you have to persuade me immediately!"
"Brother Lian, can't you persuade me?"
"Although I have become famous now, I still feel weak and guilty in front of the master. I don't have much confidence anymore!"
"Okay then, Brother Lian asked his second sister-in-law to help look after Sister Yingchun's matter, and check to see if the old lady has any other plans!"
"Third brother means..."
"I'm worried that the old lady regards Sister Yingchun as the backup for Princess Yuanchun and doesn't want to let go easily and waste Sister Yingchun's youth in vain!"
"Isn't this nice?"
Lian Er was hesitant and asked curiously: "Is it possible that the third brother is not optimistic about Princess Yuanchun's future in the palace?"
"Watch that shit!"
Jia Cong curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Sister Yuan Chun got to the position by informing people. Brother Lian thinks he will be free of worries now?"
"Anyway, we have the county head 'Yong'an' and have already been connected with the clan. There is no need to continue to invest power in the palace!"
"Besides, with Sister Yingchun's temperament, she is not suitable to live in the palace. Unless she can enter the palace in the name of general election, the second wife and even Concubine Yuanchun will not agree, so why bother to expend such effort?"
Lian Er nodded and said: "Okay then, let your second sister-in-law investigate first. If the old lady really has other ideas, then think of other ways!"
Jia Cong chuckled lightly and invited Lian Er to have a sumptuous dinner. He waited until the sky got dark before letting him go. The matter of setting up a branch house was completely completed, and now it was time to show off his talents...
