Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

The department ordered casually to inquire about Yan Liang's situation with the two Dian Shi, and the two Dian Shi shook their heads, expressing that Yan Liang was lazy, and he was not seen often at the horse farm.The departmental order seemed to have expected this to happen, he laughed a few times, and sighed "I'm a master after all", so he stopped talking in advance and continued to lead people to inspect the horse farm.

The other officials turned around when they saw the wind, and immediately followed with laughter, maintaining the previous atmosphere, as if the humiliation of Yan Liang had never happened at all, but everyone looked down on Yan Liang in their hearts.

Everyone in the racecourse only followed the rules and regulations, so he came over with a cold face and told Yan Liang not to follow them any more.He was afraid that Yan Liang would continue to be an eyesore and make Shu Ling unhappy.

Yan Liang was too lazy to deal with these, so he agreed.

Yuan Hanzai was filled with indignation and dragged Yan Liang to explain to Zhang Dian.Yan Liang refused, and dusted off the official uniform, grabbed some fodder to feed the horses.

"Why don't you explain? You spend every day counting the situation in the stables, and you are not seen by them only because you are not resting where you are dealing with official duties. How can you be lazy!"

"It's explained, so what?" Yan Liang asked Yuan Hanzai back.

Yuan Hanzai froze for a moment, scratched his head and thought about it carefully, those people didn't look down on Yan Liang at all.Even if they explain this matter clearly, I'm afraid they will find other excuses to laugh at him later, it is indeed useless to explain.Yuan Hanzai felt that Yan Liang was pitiful, and raised his head to comfort him, but Yan Liang was nowhere to be seen.It happened that a colleague called him over there, so Yuan Hanzai had no choice but to follow.

After a while, Yan Liang went to the vicinity of the Shangsanjia stable.

The official kept saying that he would arrange top three horses for Prince An and Qi Shengao, but he kept wandering around the stables of the middle three and the bottom three, as if to deliberately lure everyone away from the top three.

He wants to see if there is any good show here.

Sure enough, Yan Liang saw two sneaky figures in uniforms.The two stopped and turned in front of the stable, looking around surreptitiously.The keys to the top three stables are all kept by Yan Liang himself, and he has been personally supervising the feeding of the horses. It is estimated that these two people have no chance to do anything, so they pick this world to do their tricks.Because they were far away, Yan Liang couldn't see the faces of these two people clearly.

The two were about to climb over the wall, when they heard footsteps coming from there, they ran eastward in fright.

Yan Liang sighed, Fang appeared from the corner, turned around and saw Yuan Hanzai coming over.

"Finally found you, where did you go?"

"what's up?"

"They want to ask for an order to go to Guangyuan Building to have a drink, and name you and me to stay in the horse factory." Yuan Hanzai said.

Yan Liang chased a few steps in the direction where the two guards disappeared.

Yuan Hanzai thought that Yan Liang was going to count the horses again, so he followed him relentlessly, complaining that he missed the good wine and food at Guangyuan Tower again because of Yan Liang.

Yan Liang: "I'll treat you to ten drinks."

"What? Haha, stop joking. I'm just complaining, and I don't mean to blame you."

Yuan Hanzai waited for a while, seeing that Yan Liang ignored him, he suddenly realized that he had nothing to say, so he flung his sleeves and left.

After the value was released, Yan Liang checked the situation of the upper three stables again. He ordered two reliable servants to get some black carbon powder to apply on the fence and the top of the wall, and also sprinkled a thin layer of cinnabar on the ground at the base of the wall. pink.

"You are not allowed to mention this matter to the second person." Yan Liang rewarded each of them with a tael of silver and sent them away, but when he turned around, he saw Yuan Hanzai standing at the door.

Yan Liang saw that he wanted to ask more questions, so he asked him first: "Do you want to be promoted?"

Yuan Hanzai was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Who wouldn't want to be promoted?"

Yuan Hanzai could be used, but Yan Liang was afraid that he would be impulsive and knew too much to handle.

"Then listen to me, don't ask too much, and I will tell you when the time is right."

Regarding the matter of catching dirt, Yan Liang felt that based on the "bad deeds" of the deity in the officialdom before, it might be difficult for one person to convince the public, but it is different when it comes to Yuan Hanzai.Yuan Hanzai has a clean background and a simple mind, everything is shown on his face.This kind of person can be seen through at a glance, and his testimony is easily convincing.

Yuan Hanzai still didn't believe Yan Liang's words.

Yan Liang simply proved to him that he was trustworthy.He turned his head and followed Yuan Hanzai to Guangyuan Building. He walked through the back door and entered the best private room in Guangyuan Building.Moreover, he specifically asked the shopkeeper of Guangyuanlou that no matter when Yuan Hanzai came, the next nine meals of food and drink would be free of charge.

The moment Yuan Hanzai ate Guangyuanlou sugar-steamed crispy cheese and bacon buns, he made up his mind to follow Yan Liang.People live their whole lives for what, other than serving the country faithfully, that's what they eat.

After Yuan Hanzai was dealt with, Yan Liang went to work at the horse factory as before the next day.Due to yesterday's incident, the attitude of the horse factory officials towards Yan Liang has changed a lot. The criticism and ridicule that used to be done behind the scenes has now been changed to the public.Moreover, yesterday at the wine table in Guangyuan Building, the official order also explained to everyone that the official who said the matter to Yan Liang was just a casual begging from Lord Qi in front of the sage, deliberately teasing Yan Liang.All the officials disregarded Yan Liang even more.

In the court, anyone who Lord Qi despises, let alone a master of the Ning Mansion without a title, even a Marquis who is in charge of a general, can still be killed by Lord Qi.

So today everyone had the guts to laugh at Yan Liang wantonly, and even pushed him out to sweep the stables.

Yuan Hanzai felt that these people were too much, and he wanted to stand up to speak for Yan Liang, but before he slapped the table and stood up, Yan Liang had already turned to go to the stable.

Yan Liang specially instructed the guards yesterday not to clean the stables this morning.Sure enough, he found a few traces of footprints at the base of the wall of one of the stables in the upper three, and the black toner on the wall was also rubbed.

Yan Liang also found that the white horse had a black spot on its left belly.Yan Liang went to identify it, and it was indeed caused by black toner.

Yuan Hanzai was a little confused, but he knew that the toner on the wall should have rubbed onto Jiaobai's body through someone, so he asked Yan Liang nervously: "What's going on?"

"Is there any news from above that you didn't tell me?" Yan Liang asked.

Yuan Hanzai shook his head blankly.

At this time, several guards came over and said: "Prince An said that today he will ride Jiaobai, let's saddle Jiaobai, and send him to Prince An's mansion immediately."

"Jiaobai? Isn't that King Sui's horse?"

The guard nodded, "It's Jiaobai. I heard that King Sui agreed to lend it to King An."

Yuan Hanzai glanced at Yan Liang.

"I'll put on the saddle." Yan Liang took the saddle, checked it first, and then put it in place. Zhang Dianshi and others followed, urging to hurry up.

Seeing Yan Liang doing it himself, the four couldn't help making fun of Yan Liang.

"This guy is really obedient, we can hire one less handyman to do the work at the racecourse!"

Yuan Hanzai kept his eyes on the white horse.After the horse was taken away, Yan Liang sent everyone out of the stable, and then locked the door, and kept the scene. If something happened, these small suspicions would become big evidence.

Yuan Hanzai couldn't help pulling Yan Liang to ask quietly if something would happen.

"Of course." Yan Liang said.

Yuan Hanzai was shocked: "Then you still ask them to take that horse away?"

"Otherwise, why don't you stop it?" Yan Liang looked at him and said.

Yuan Hanzai pursed his lips, "How dare I, I can't tell."

"Then someone will listen to what I say?" Yan Liang looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Yuan Hanzai choked.With Yan Liang's current situation, I'm afraid he might not have as much weight as his own words in the horse factory.

"It's just that they believe this. These are just small suspicious things, and they can't be connected with the murder of Prince An. As long as the horse is fine, it's useless if you don't have enough evidence. And this matter Speaking out in advance will only make those hiding in the dark more vigilant. How to predict and stop the next shot?"

Yuan Hanzai nodded hurriedly, and patted himself on the head, "I'm really too simple-minded, you're right! Then what should we do next? We are so soft-spoken, how can we stop it?"

Yan Liang: "Wait."

Although Yuan Hanzai didn't understand, he had no choice but to obey Yan Liang's orders obediently.

The two returned to the office.The four Dianshi and the other six directors were eccentric, laughing and mocking Yan Liang to come in.Some people covered their noses on purpose, saying it was too stinky.

"Why does it stink? Ah, I remembered, our leader Jia Xie just came back from cleaning the stables, and his body smelled of fresh horse manure!"

Zhang Dianshi's words made the others laugh again.

Yan Liang was really pitiful to see these officials in their thirties doing such childish behavior every day.Naturally, he would ignore them, sitting in his place in the room and reading a book, one page after another, no matter how much they laughed, it did not delay the moment in front of him.

Seeing this, several people gradually fell silent.

The more Zhang Dian looked at Yan Liang, the more he disliked it. He slapped the table and shouted at Yan Liang, "You are free enough, go! Clean up all the stables in the horse farm!"

"It's not just the stables, you have to wipe every horse's butt clean." Another pianist joined in the fun, followed by others booing.

"I won't go." The deep male voice in the strange laughter was particularly ear-catching.

The laughter stopped suddenly, Zhang Dian stared at Yan Liang angrily, "What did you say?"

Yan Liang put down the book in his hand and picked up another one to continue reading.

"Jia Yanliang, you are so arrogant, believe it or not, I will beat you out right now!"

Yan Liang squinted at Zhang Dianshi, and said, "I don't believe it."

"You!" Zhang Dianshi gritted his teeth, and really wanted to call someone to beat him out, but the people around him pulled him a little, signaling him to be careful.It was only then that Zhang Dianshi realized that Yan Liang had an identity after all, and he was afraid that bullying him in the face would hurt him. "You wait, I will definitely report to the department and ask him to give you a copy, which will fulfill your wish."

"Well, let's talk about it when we come out, don't talk about your prestige." Yan Liang gave Zhang Dianshi and everyone a cold look, and the laughter grew longer.

He never paid attention to these people, and now he doesn't pay attention to them even more.Yan Liang could clearly see that the bullying they committed towards him had become an evil cause and planted in himself, and the retribution came very quickly, just in the past few days.

This kind of situation can only explain one problem, that is, he who was bullied by them will have a change of luck today.In other words, the note he just hid on the front bridge of the saddle has been found.

Yan Liang privately asked Yuan Hanzai to take a few guards and guards to search the guards' residences. "Be careful, especially clothes and shoes. Whoever can find shoes with black toner clothes and cinnabar traces will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver."

Yuan Hanzai nodded foolishly, and immediately set off to do it.

At noon, news came from the hunting ground that Jiaobai ran wildly, and finally bumped his head against a tree to death.

The people in the horse factory were in an uproar, and all the pawns were terrified, worried that their lives would be lost.Jiaobai is a top-quality horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, his running speed is as fast as the wind, if he is really crazy, his speed will be doubled.If Prince An rode on it, even if he didn't die, he might fall half disabled.
