Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Jia Yucun has been very busy recently. Even after leaving the office in the morning, he didn't have time to go to the backyard to make out with Jiao Xing.

After pacing back and forth in the study room outside for three or four times, Jia Yucun felt sad and sighed, thinking about things all the time, and was too busy to even drink tea.

"Master, the disciple is back."

The waiter suddenly came to report. Jia Yucun was very surprised and said repeatedly: "Pass it quickly, pass it quickly! Call in quickly!"

After a while, Sha Menzi, who had gone out to inquire about news, walked in quickly. Seeing that Jia Yucun was in a hurry, he didn't bother to salute, so he shook his head.

"Did we not meet or...?"

Jia Yucun didn't want to hear that news. That was what came out of Pianmenzi's mouth.

"Missing! Our people have been searching for several days, but Mr. Huang and Gao Peng are nowhere to be seen...the kind of people who can't be seen alive or dead!"

The Samanako took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his sweat, and his paws felt numb in his heart.

Because of the old incident in the Calabash Temple, the ascetic monk returned to secular life. When he saw that the new master was Jia Yucun, he was also wise and powerful, so he came over to seek refuge.

It's just that the secular world is dark, without the tranquility of Buddhism, and the ups and downs of officialdom are even more difficult. After the ascetic monk came to Jiayu Village, he only enjoyed happiness for a few days, and then everything became difficult.

Jinling was the capital of the imperial court, and many powerful people did not move to Kyoto.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so the powerful squires are like local snakes. It is really difficult to be a good official here!

Menzi initially thought that Jia Yucun had a backer and should be easy to support. Unexpectedly, he is also a faggot, and his official position is not secure.

Gao Peng was a local snake, but he just tried to scare him, and Jia Yucun sold his backer.

The disciples knew that Jia Yucun had returned to his official position, thanks to the support of the Jia family and Lin Yanke. But there was only one eunuch at the top, so Jia Yucun took over.

Hearing Menzi's reply, Jia Yucun felt full of regret and disappointment.

I regret that I got on the boat too early, and now I can’t find a way out when the boat capsizes. Disappointed that the lineage of the Supreme Emperor is not as reliable as expected.

"By the way, is there any news from Lin Yan class?"

If the Supreme Emperor hadn't taken action yet, he could be saved by sending a letter now.

"That's what I'm about to say!"

Menzi was terribly thirsty, but he didn't dare ask for a bowl of tea. Seeing Jia Yucun's expression change, he quickly bent down and said:

"Someone with quick feet came to deliver a message, saying that Mr. Salt Class was assassinated and he was injured so much that he couldn't get out of bed. Our people went to visit in the name of adults, but they didn't see anyone. They said that there was a screen in the middle, and only human voices were heard."

"Can you speak? But in person?"

In Jia Yucun's heart, his idea must be good. If Lin Ruhai was fooled, he would be seriously injured and die. Even if Lin Ruhai is lucky, the backhand can still kill him.

"Didn't you see anyone?"

The monk laughed in embarrassment, not daring to confirm.

Seeing that both of his plans had failed, Jia Yucun couldn't help but let out a long sigh and sat down blankly.

Menzi became Jia Yucun's confidant and gave him several suggestions.

Knowing that Jia Yucun cherished his official position and was proud of his talent, he was caught.

He tried to please both sides, but ended up being shipwrecked.

But it doesn't matter if Jia Yucun sinks, we can't let him sink the ship too!

"Sir, Gao Peng has been missing for three days. Who knows where he has gone. Since the Jia family said that he fled in fear of crime, why not..."

Menzi's reminder was enough. After all, Jia Yucun was smart and didn't like others to make decisions for him.

"Gao Peng's crimes are serious, and I also want to sentence him neatly. But if he is nowhere to be seen, even if he is issued a pursuit document, it will be of no use."

Could it be that Jia Yucun couldn't think of a clever way to blame Gao Peng for bad things? No, he just knows more than Menzi.

Jia Yucun had seen Gao Peng commanding bandits and robbers. He had several desperadoes in his hands.

If you leave the crime to him, it will be clean, but when Gao Peng leads the desperadoes to settle the ledger with him, it will be troublesome!

There is a person who can be a thief for a thousand days, but how can he guard against a thief for a thousand days? It would be okay if Gao Peng died, but if he lives well, revenge is still to come!

"Ugh!"

Jia Yucun sighed heavily again, feeling that there was no way out. If Lin Ruhai was really dead, he would be able to find a way out. It's because they are neither up nor down that they are in big trouble.

"Master! Madam is here to urge you to eat."

It turned out that Jiao Xing sent her maid to remind her husband when he didn't come home for dinner.

How can Jia Yucun be in the mood to eat? He hurriedly asked the servant to send the maid away, and then pretended to ask the disciple to stay and eat with him.

Samana wanted to run away for a long time. He had been busy all morning and was tired and thirsty. It is better to go out and find a restaurant than to eat in front of the boss.

Jia Yucun made concessions a few more times. When he saw that the disciple was nowhere to be seen, his eyes turned cold.

After he came to Jinling, he had too few confidants. Menzi was his old friend, so he had no choice but to trust him.

Therefore, when dealing with the outside world, it is up to the Samanas to inform them of many matters. Menzi was also an insider about his frame-up of Lin Ruhai.

Since no one else can move, it's better to hold the door...

Jia Yucun was decisive and acted quickly. He immediately sent another confidant with these instructions. After receiving the order, the man went out to chase his disciples.

Jia Yucun then took a sip of tea with intention and thought about how to make up for it later.

After eating and resting for a quarter of an hour, Jia Yucun found an old document and read it, when someone beat the drum outside the yamen.

"Who is complaining?"

Jia Yucun tidied up his official hat and asked the yamen to investigate. After a while, someone came to send a message, saying that a large group of people came beating gongs and drums, and it seemed that there were several cases.

"Confused! Even if there are ten hundred people, they should collect the pleadings first."

Jia Yucun walked out boldly, wanting to see who was causing trouble.

It was only when he entered the hall that he saw Lin Ruhai and Yuanyang in the crowd.

Lin Ruhai was dressed as an old scholar and had a lot of beard covering most of his face. But Jia Yucun has lived in his house for a year, how can he not recognize him?

But Lin Ruhai didn't guard against him. When Jia Yucun recognized him, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

Jia Yucun was immediately frightened into a cold sweat.

Yuanyang was not in disguise. She followed her mother and cried as her mother and sister cried.

It's just that Jia Yucun has good eyesight and he had noticed Jia's mother when he met her. Later, after handling Xue Pan's case, Jia Yucun also received a thank-you gift from her.

"Who are you accusing me of?"

Jia Yucun understood that the matter was serious.

"A civilian woman came to complain that my son-in-law hired a murderer to kill my husband and son."

Yuanyang's mother shouted.

"A civilian woman came to complain that my husband, Gao Peng, spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife. He ignored human relations, allowed his concubine to harm his son, and colluded with bandits."

Jin Hongyan shouted with tears in his eyes.

"The common people come to complain that my brother-in-law is doing all kinds of things, buying and selling household registration..."

Brother Jin handed over the petition and made room for Yuanyang.

"The slave of Jinling Rongguo Mansion sued the city gatekeeper Gao Peng for robbing the fields and privately selling the ancestral property of the government. Please ask Mr. Qingtian to redress the grievances of the people!"
