The Return of Lord Qiang of the Red Mansion System

"Compensation for the loss?" Jia Qiang guessed a bit when she heard this, and then asked, "Don't worry, just talk slowly, what's going on."

This guy always serves tea and water in the outer hall.Although when Jia Qiang selected people back then, she specially picked the ones who were less talkative and dull, but after two or three years of experience, she has also cultivated a articulate one.

Immediately he settled down, and explained the reason clearly in a few words: "This guest's surname is Xiao, and his name is Xiao Dongwei. He brought two foreign businessmen here five days ago. At that time, he booked the Hongzi Room to talk about things, and sat for half an hour. He just left. Today he brought over a dozen vicious people, grabbed the shopkeeper Jin and said that he was negotiating with foreign merchants to exchange nautical maps for foreign gems. As a result, the foreign merchant pulled his boat away yesterday evening. His nautical chart was also stolen. He said that the map was his family heirloom, and he would not even show it to his wife. It must have been overheard by our servants when they were negotiating in our shop, and they stole it on a whim The foreign merchant who sold him. So he called to ask for an explanation, and we must compensate him for his losses."

Jia Qiang was already somewhat puzzled in her heart, but when she listened to it, she became more and more certain. She sneered and said, "He closed the door to discuss business. Who knows what he was talking about? He also said that the foreign businessman had slipped away, so he even had to find witnesses." No. He came to my door with such empty words and tried to blackmail me, thanks to him who figured it out—what did Uncle Sheng say?"

"Treasurer Jin said that the servants we serve inside are deaf, dumb, illiterate, and they are all honest people born and bred in Beijing. After serving for so many years, the rumors leaked, and usually even the customers left their money bags. It is all returned. Said that he was afraid that he had found the wrong place, and advised him to go back and think about it again. It must be negligence in other places. But the surname Xiao didn’t listen at all. After cursing for a long time, he has already started to smash our shop Yes. I was about to go to the mansion to find someone to help, but I happened to see you as soon as I came out. Lord, why don't you go back to the mansion and bring some helpers?"

The guy was afraid that if he used his hands, those rough men with broad arms and round waists would hurt his little boss, so he proposed to find someone to help.No, Jia Qiang showed no signs of timidity. Instead, she twitched her horse's buttocks, as if ready to rush: "No, I'll go meet this whimsical person."

Since Fengyuanfang's business has improved, more than half of the tables and chairs have been removed from the front shop, and some elegant objects such as piano cases, tea sets, and bookshelves have been added to add a scholarly atmosphere to the courtyard.The guests who came and went were full of praise, saying that this is not like a business at all, but it seems to be the study of some hermit.

But at this moment, the originally elegant and clean facade was smashed to pieces by a group of reckless men, leaving the ground in a mess.

Overturning the last shelf, the pottery cups on the shelf fell to the ground, Xiao Dongwei, who came to make trouble, admired it for a moment with his mung bean eyes narrowed, and then looked at the side with a full of air. Uncle Sheng roared: "If you don't give me an explanation today, I won't leave! My great-grandfather went to the West with a boat, and when he came back, he was caught in a storm. The nautical chart came back. On that route, the island countries along the way are all made of gold and paved with white jade. Anyone who goes there will be rich. I have already negotiated with the foreign merchants to run the ship later, and the profits will be [-]-[-]. I don’t want to But I was disturbed by the thieves in your shop. I put my words here: either you put this Fengyuanfang under my name and compensate me for the loss; or you wait to see what I do, regardless of the black Bai, I have plenty of ways to deal with you, and within a month, not only will this courtyard be closed, but you will also be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, where you will be punished!"

After making trouble for half a day, the movement outside has already spread to the inside.Many guests came out half-doubtedly to see what happened.Because I didn't know the previous situation, I only heard Xiao Dongwei yelling and leaking the secret, and they all stood still, faintly feeling a little bit of the same hatred, and wanted the boss to give an explanation-after all, people who are willing to spend money here, what they talk about is either Stakes are at stake, or the future depends, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

Seeing that the guests all stood up, Uncle Sheng was very anxious because he didn't understand what they meant.But because this kind of thing had never happened in the store, no nursing home was prepared.He had no choice but to persuade him to stabilize him with good words first, and then hinted to the buddy to go to Ning Mansion to rescue the soldiers.

He didn't want Xiao Dongwei to see Uncle Sheng like this, but when everyone was afraid of him, he became more and more proud, and couldn't stop cursing.What's more, the lion opened his mouth. Originally, he said that he would take Fengyuanfang to pay for his losses, but in the end it turned out that Jia Qiang had to use the money he had earned over the years to fill his hole.

Talking about the excitement for a while, it seemed that the huge courtyard had already taken a surname, and began to call brothers and sisters with the guests: "This is the young master of a certain family, we met last time in the Beijing Palace, talk about it." It's quite speculative. Next time, brother, come over and let me be the host."

Hearing his ignorance and lies, Uncle Sheng laughed back angrily, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I had a good dream before it was dark. That's how Boss Xiao does business? Don't you give the ocean chart by yourself?" Shang, who set up a fairy dance, turned out of embarrassment and blamed it on us."

When Xiao Dongwei heard this, he immediately became furious: "You old guy dares to praise me! You guys, stop smashing those dead things, come and fix this old bastard!"

In response to the bang of the thugs he brought, he was rubbing his hands and rolled up his sleeves and was about to make a move, when a voice came from outside the door: "According to the regulations of this dynasty, those who go to the store to cause trouble without reason will be fined 20 taels of silver with thirty sticks. If the owner has The fame is repeated, and the penalty is doubled. I think a few of you are tired of living a good life, and want to find some unhappiness for yourself."

Because the emperor believed in the divine way, it has gradually become more and more serious in the past few years. It is inevitable that he will be neglected in political affairs, and the officialdom will be distracted.Not to mention that the officials formed cliques to intrigue, and the low-level officials alone took advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.As long as the money is used, or there are people behind it, the laws and regulations of the country are as empty as they are, and they can't control these people at all.

Xiao Dongwei dared to come to Fengyuanfang to make trouble, so he was naturally somewhat dependent.He only said that the person talking was a sour scholar, he didn't want to raise his eyes, but saw the most handsome and handsome young man getting off his horse, he knew it must be Jia Qiang, his boss.Thinking about what I said just now, I couldn't help laughing wildly: "I think you are the one who is stupid in reading and reading! You ruined my business, and I came to you to ask for an explanation. What are you talking about?"

"Oh? So your Excellency means that even the laws of the country can't govern you?"

Jia Qiang handed over the reins to the clerk, and walked in leisurely, seemingly understatement, but just one sentence silenced Xiao Dongwei.

Choked by him, Xiao Dongwei opened and closed his mouth a few times, but he couldn't find the answer. He simply kicked away the overturned chair under his feet, pointed at Jia Qiang's nose and cursed: "You bastard, put a big hat on me! You The hands and feet of the people in the store are not clean, which disturbed my business, I want you to compensate, and I am justified wherever I say it! I just want a word, will you pay for it, kid?"

Compared with his panic, Jia Qiang was very calm: "Your Excellency, don't worry, you said that my people have ruined your business, so you should let me know the reason? - Uncle Sheng, I think this master has told you just now. After a lot of talking, come and stand beside me, if I don’t understand anything, just ask you.”

Uncle Sheng understood and immediately stood behind Jia Qiang.Xiao Dongwei didn't understand, so he spat, and said the nonsense again.No, as he was talking, Uncle Sheng interrupted from time to time: "Boss Xiao, that's not what you just said. Your original words were—"

This happened a few times, Xiao Dongwei, who had been singled out a lot, saw that it was difficult to get back the lie, so he played violently again: "Don't try to procrastinate, are you going to pay or not?"

Jia Qiang sneered: "Boss Xiao, you said that this business is related to your livelihood for the rest of your life, and you have lost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Putting aside your incoherent preface, let me ask you: such a big business , do you rest assured to hand it over to a strange foreign merchant? There is no guarantor? Didn’t sign the contract? He wanted to take your family chart, and didn’t leave you a pledge of almost the same value? I did it, those who know it say you have a big heart, those who don’t know it only thinks you are telling stories and bragging.”

He asked questions like a cannonball, but Xiao Dongwei couldn't answer a single word.The other guests who were suspicious at first didn't understand when they heard this.There was the kind one who blamed Xiao Dongwei for not knowing the rules of business, for being cheated on himself and cheating on others; On the head of the house, he is really brave.

Seeing that the momentum was falling towards Jia Qiang, Xiao Dongwei broke his heart and cursed: "You little bastard, I discussed with you in a nice voice, but I was shameless. If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless—how many of you One, tie him up and bring him back to the prince's mansion, let this old shopkeeper take the house deed and hand over the seal to redeem him!"

Hearing the word Wang Fu, Jia Qiang's eyes moved slightly.Before he could think about it, the group of thugs rushed up screaming.

Uncle Sheng exclaimed, and was about to rush up to block it, but saw Jia Qiang raise his arm slightly, but he didn't know what to do, and the man who rushed to the front rolled to the ground with a cry of pain.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, a few clever people quietly withdrew their hands and avoided it.The rest of them continued to rush forward without thinking, and when Jia Qiang pointed to the west and brushed the place with his fingers, they suddenly felt pain and numbness all over their bodies, and rolled into a pile screaming miserably.

From Xiao Dongwei yelling to strike, to the time when most of the thugs were subdued, it only happened in the blink of an eye.Those who originally thought that Jia Qiang would be at a disadvantage all opened their mouths wide and looked at the scene in disbelief, almost suspecting that they were dreaming.Otherwise, how could a frail young man beat up so many strong men?

Xiao Dongwei was surprised, but more scared than others.Backed up a few steps, and suddenly saw a few thugs who hadn't fallen timidly trying to escape, and immediately scolded: "Whoever you dare to leave, I will report back to the prince, so that you can't get along in the capital! Take them down quickly!" This kid, you will be punished for your merits!"

Threatened by their employers, several thugs had no choice but to shrink their heads and surround them.Seeing his companion lying on the ground with no external injuries, but screaming more and more miserable, he couldn't help feeling his scalp numb, and became even more afraid of Jia Qiang.Xin Dao didn't wait for the young master to touch him, he pretended to be hit and fell down, so as not to suffer in vain.

But I didn't want to, and made another move, but Jia Qiang changed his moves.Before they realized what was going on, these people flew out of the store involuntarily, as if they were flying through the clouds, until they hit something on the street, and fell to the ground with a bang.

After throwing the last thug out, Jia Qiang looked coldly at the carriage that appeared at no time and was knocked into a circle. Her eyes were like knives, but her voice was sharper and colder than the blade: "Come out."

In the past few years, he has exchanged at least [-]% of the chips of the system, and armed himself almost completely.Not only is he superb in martial arts, but in the keenness of eyes and ears, few people in the world can match it.He could clearly hear that when Xiao Dongwei mentioned the palace just now, there was a change in the people inside the car, as if they had held some weapon in their hands.

——Is it because you have a guilty conscience and can't help but want to do it?Then I will fulfill you!

Perhaps because of her growing strength, Jia Qiang's behavior became more and more sharp.Since you have the ability to protect yourself and protect the people you care about, why bother to be submissive and speak against your will?

It doesn't matter if the prince is the mastermind behind the scenes, what happened today is in full view, so it is difficult for him to turn black and white?Instead of waiting for the other party to reveal his identity and tie his hands and feet, it is better to take advantage of the situation and beat him up first, and then talk about it after getting out of this tone!

Seeing that the people in the car did not move for a long time, Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows, kicked up an antique bronze tripod, weighed it in her hand, and slammed it at the car.

The force was quite strong, and the chiseled window pane was instantly cracked, but the people in the car still did not appear.

Just when Jia Qiang wondered if she had mishandled the opponent and knocked him unconscious, someone in the car suddenly sighed sadly: "I haven't seen you for three years, you still don't want to see me."

The voice seemed familiar, but Jia Qiang couldn't remember where she heard it.While thinking about it, he sarcastically said: "So you are my old friend? I haven't seen you for several years, and someone came to provoke you. With such a character, you expect others to treat you like that. It's just a dream."

"They are not my people, I just wanted to help you."

Following these words, the person in the car finally appeared.

It was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a fine-quality short gown with arrow sleeves, outlining his slightly muscular, graceful and smooth figure. The clothes were not decorated with embroidered pearls like the ones that are popular in Beijing, which made him look extraordinarily neat. .His skin is not as pale as the children of the Beijing family, but has an eye-catching wheat complexion, but his facial features are particularly deep and handsome.Especially those amber eyes, like the fresh honey contained in the white porcelain of the official kiln, seem pure, but have an inexplicable attraction, which makes people unable to move their eyes.

This strange boy was unexpectedly handsome.

However, despite being so unfamiliar, Jia Qiang felt that she had seen this person somewhere.Staring at the young man's heroic features for a moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He finally recognized who this person was, but he couldn't believe it: "Mr. Feng? You——are not the same as before."

This person turned out to be Feng Ziying, Jia Qiang remembered this descendant of the royal family who looked similar to her.When I first met him three years ago, he was just like myself, with fair skin and overly delicate facial features. Anyone who saw them would think they were brothers.

In the past three years, except that he himself has grown a little taller, his appearance has not changed much.But Feng Ziying was only a little tanned, and her whole person changed from handsome to handsome. The heroic appearance overwhelmed the exquisiteness, showing a [-]-point masculinity.

——Maybe I should spend more time in the sun, and maybe I can transform myself into a handsome man with a bad face.

Jia Qiang stared at the face that was no longer resembling her own, thinking with envy.

After wandering his mind for a moment, he thought of a question that he should have realized a long time ago: "Mr. Feng, when did you return to the capital?"

He knew Feng Ziying's life experience from Jia Jing's words back then, he knew that he was the only blood left by the King of Runan, and he was deeply feared by the present, but he didn't know why he didn't kill him.His adoptive father, General Shenwei, has been taking him to hide away, almost never returning to Beijing.And I haven't heard any rumors that he will come back recently. Why does this person come back?How dare you come back?

Feng Ziying's answer was very straightforward: "I have something to do recently, so I came back."

Jia Qiang was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing whether to continue asking.It seems that from the beginning, Feng Ziying often left him speechless.

"That person—" Feng Ziying pointed to Xiao Dongwei, who was obviously thinking of a way out, with his eyeballs rolling around. "He has newly joined the King of Beijing, and the King of Beijing has been short of money recently. He was eager to claim credit, so he approached him what are you going to do?"

"Prince Beijing? The prince he is talking about is King Jingjing?" Jia Qiang was a little surprised.It suddenly occurred to me that when I was talking to someone from the official school before, the other party mentioned that the king of Beijing was planning to entertain some of the high-ranking candidates in the capital's middle school, as well as some celebrities, and he would post invitations to each family in the near future.

Thinking of some rumors about the prince in the past few years, Jia Qiang's eyes flashed, and she made an unexpected decision: "For the sake of the prince, I can't make things difficult for him, can I?"

After that, he strode up to Xiao Dongwei, straightened his clothes with his own hands, and patted the old face that was tighter than a drum due to nervousness: "Boss Xiao, I will talk to you about the law of the country. Talk to me about business; I talk to you about business, and you talk to me about fisting. You are more changeable than women, so I don't know what to do. Tell me, what do you want to do now?"

Having seen his skills just now, and seeing him so "close" to him, Xiao Dongwei felt that the hairs all over his body exploded.The eyes subconsciously stared at Jia Qiang's hand, for fear that he would throw himself out too.Just as his whole body was stiff, his mind also became confused: "I...I want to go..."

"No compensation?"

"No, dare not."

"What you lost has nothing to do with my buddy?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."

"Well, everyone heard it." Jia Qiang bowed to everyone, and finally said to Xiao Dongwei: "It seems that Boss Xiao made a mistake. You go well, and I won't see you off."

"Go? Do you really want me to go?" Suddenly hearing this sentence, Xiao Dongwei became even more dizzy, but his movements were unambiguous at all, as if drinking ginseng soup, and he was extra energetic.Throwing down the thugs all over the floor, he rushed to the street corner in a few breaths, and ran away in a hurry.

An accident ended like this, the guests couldn't help talking, they all said that Jia Qiang was generous, and she let Xiao Dongwei off without hesitation.He kept praising him as an honest person, and he would pay more compliments in the future.

Uncle Sheng, who directed the guys to clean up the mess, grinned quietly: "Since you know the details, why bother to hold on to the little grasshopper, it would be better to find the right owner directly some other day."

On the side, Jia Qiang patted him on the shoulder: "Uncle Sheng, you still know my heart."

After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat and looked at Feng Ziying, who was listening to the conversation between their master and servant with pricked ears: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I was supposed to clean up the dust for Mr. Feng—" But I still have something to do, I'm afraid...

"It's better to hit the sun than to pick it up, just today."

Before Jia Qiang could react, Feng Ziying went straight to the backyard.Unbiased, he picked an empty courtyard, as if he was clear about the rules of Fengyuanfang.

The unfinished words choked in her throat, causing Jia Qiang to roll her eyes.The idea of ​​not wanting to get too deeply involved with Feng Ziying seems impossible to implement, and it is impossible to drive him away directly.He had no choice but to follow in, and resentfully said: "Mr. Feng has a taste for elegance, so I will accompany you."
