Chapter 11: Undercurrents

The night was dark and the cold was deep.

In an elegant and quiet study, the candlelight is flickering and the fire is blazing.

On the upper hand Taishi chair, a brocade dressed in gorgeous clothes, a thin old man; His left hand drooped, placed it on the chair guard, and his right hand grabbed a purple sand teapot on the table and closed his eyes in contemplation. On the left, you have a messy bookshelf, which is full of books of all colors, and a thin layer of dust is faintly visible; On the wall behind him hangs a famous inscription, saying, 'Heaven rewards diligence'. This old man is none other than Jia Zhengjing, the housekeeper of the Guo Mansion.

On the lower right side of Jia Zhengjing is a young man in brocade clothes, short and fat, with a fat head and big ears; His hands were clasping one leg, his head was slightly tilted, and he swayed from side to side This is his only son, Jia Quan.

Jia Zhengjing's lower left hand sits a middle-aged guard in Tsing Yi, who is his second brother, Jia Renxin; He is tall and strong, with a black and purple horse face, and his triangular eyes are not leaking a fierce light, and he sits quietly on the chair with his chest up, looking like he does not squint.

The old man opened his eyes for a long time, looked at the two people in the study and said, "I have thought about it for so long, what do you think in your hearts, say it and listen to it." ”

Jinyi Shao was originally a short-hearted and active character, but now he has been holding back in the study for a long time, and he can still bear it there, so he first spoke: "Daddy, the thing you told me to visit that monk has been done; According to the report of the subordinate, the monk seemed to have jumped out of thin air, and before that, no one had seen or heard of such a person. ”

The so-called speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional; The young man in brocade clothes said flutteringly, but the face of the old man with a ghost in his frightened heart turned pale, and his pair of small triangular eyes narrowed only a slit, and his heart shrouded in a layer of fog sank straight down, could it really be that the old man had already taken precautions, and seeing that he was trapped, he hurriedly sent a henchman back to control the situation.

If that person is really someone close to the master, he will definitely find out our intentions; When the old man returns from salvation, he will definitely blame him, that is, the landslide is cracked, and the end of the world will be the end of the world, and our group of people will die without a place to bury. Thinking of that consequence, he only felt a pang of breath in his chest, and his heart was pouring straight down, and suddenly cold sweat broke out all over his body. What do we do, how do we solve this dilemma?

Seeing that the old man's face was pale, his face was covered with sweat, and his whole body was trembling, he couldn't help but feel anxious, took a step and stretched out his hands, supported the crumbling old man and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, why are you doing this, is there anything wrong with your body?" ”

The old man finally stabilized his body, waved his hand and said, "I don't have anything to do, maybe it's due to some weakness from physical fatigue these days." He pushed away the hands of the two of them and said, "This person appeared very strangely, and his identity was mysterious; A good show in the council hall is about to be done; Shengsheng was destroyed by him, and the situation that made us win instantly came to naught, and it really caught us off guard. ”

Jia Quan closed his eyes and pondered, the black mole the size of a little thumb in the corner of his eye kept shaking, and he opened his eyes for a long time and shook his head: "Daddy, why don't I send someone to Yunwu Mountain to inquire?" ”

Jia Zhengjing remembered the words that he said intoxicated in the council room, as well as the eyebrows between him and Ma Xiuying; Judging from this, it is very likely that the man was not the person sent by the master, and he came to recuperate in another hospital for other reasons, and happened to hear that the old man of the Guo family had an accident, so he hurriedly ran out; The appearance of this person, the timing is grasped and accurate, and in a few words, the two sides in the council hall who are about to evolve into a conflict are resolved, and it is definitely not a simple character, thinking of this, Jia Zhengjing breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a mentality that there is no absoluteness in the facts: "No, now it doesn't matter whether he is a person sent by the master, or if he is really a monk in the temple, he will be careful in the future, and he will be supplemented by temptation." "The arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent."

"Big brother, if it really is; Sent by the master, we are in a very dangerous situation. Jia Renxin said in a panic.

Jia Zhengjing waved his hand, took a deep breath and said secretly: "Calm down, don't panic." ”

"The second brother is a little unclear, and I ask the eldest brother to solve his doubts." The middle-aged guard in Tsing Yi hugged his fists

Jia Zhengjing nodded and said, "If the second brother has any questions, you can say it." ”

"The man was young, emaciated and weak; The eyes are deep, faintly shining, and they are not mediocre; It is not good for us to keep him behind. According to the usual rules of the master, the eldest brother has the right to deal with emergencies in other hospitals; For example, taking down the strange man in the council chamber and putting it in prison is safer than putting it outside. Jia Ren said in his heart.

"Although the master is not in the other courtyard, I have the right to deal with emergencies." He paused and said, "I only have the right to arrest, not the right to dispose of; Now the situation is special, things are ever-changing, and if you are not careful, everyone will never recover; Leave him down, first, he doesn't know the details of the other party, and he can't move his hands indiscriminately, and he will move his whole body with one hair. Second, no matter whether the plan succeeds or fails, it is better to leave him to take the blame. When Steward Jia said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "No matter if you die early or late, you will have to die." ”

Jia Ren bowed down and said: "The eldest brother still thinks thoughtfully, and the younger brother admires it so much." ”

"Second brother, you are not a rough person, you think of what I think of as much as you think; Our two brothers work together to solve the matter at hand. Jia Zhengjing grabbed Jia Renxin's hands tightly with both hands and said.

Jia Renxin's face turned red, and he nodded excitedly.

"Okay, let's listen to what you inquired about today, and then make a judgment." Jia Zhengzheng put down Jia Renxin's hand.

"Later, the young lady came to the news, canceling the regulations for continuing to discuss the rescue of the master in the council hall at night, saying that everyone was tired from staying up all night, so let everyone rest early and talk about it tomorrow; What does Daddy think? Jia Quan said.

Jia Zhengjing squinted his eyes and paced back and forth in the study, carefully considering the meaning of this passage.

"In this way, the young lady already has an idea in mind, and there is no need to consult it separately; Only with the eldest lady and the female streamer, it must be indecisive and difficult to make up her mind; There must be that strange young monk behind to add fuel to the fire. Jia Ren thought to himself.

Jia Zhengzheng nodded approvingly and said: "What the second brother said has some truth, although the eldest lady is smart and courageous, after all, she is a woman, and it is normal for her to lack momentum." ”

Steward Jia left his seat, walked back and forth a few steps back and forth, looked at Jia Renxin and said, "Second brother, what is the progress of asking you to investigate the stranger's matter?" ”

Jia Ren clenched his fists and said: "My subordinates came to report, the monk went to the soup and room with the young lady in the morning, and then went to the back garden together, and once went to the east guest room for dinner; Then he went to the lady's boudoir again, and that time he went alone; Jin Ju's skills are too powerful, I didn't dare to get too close, and I don't know what happened inside. After thinking about it, he said: "My subordinates feel that their relationship should not be simple. ”

Jia Quan stood up with a snort and said angrily: "Ma Xiuying, a slut, actually let a monk into her boudoir, she must have done nothing good." Look at her usual noble and holy appearance, but secretly she is a baby slut. His fat palm slammed on the table, making a snapping sound, and roared angrily: "Where is the monk, I will kill him." ”

The old man slapped Jia Quan's face, and said with hatred: "You rebel, you know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble all day long, and have nothing to do; When it comes to women, I don't care about it like I am dizzy; If you hadn't been out causing trouble, you would have been bold; Lao Tzu will be sent to this poor and remote mountain to be the deputy governor of this non-existent Laoshzi; Use your pig brain to think about what kind of crisis it is now; If you have half the ability of the eldest lady, Lao Tzu will still take risks like this and make you rich! ”

Jia Quan covered his face with his hands, full of anger and unwillingness, and whimpered: "That slut, I usually look at her cold, glamorous, high, ice and jade, but I didn't expect her to be cheap and debauched in her bones." He gritted his teeth and said, "That monk and cheap boy, I want you to survive and not die!" ”

Jia Zhengjing slapped the other half of Jia Quan's face and said angrily: "Fan you brainless brute, you know how to shout and kill; I told you, but now I can't move that person, do you listen or not? ”

Jia Quan cried: "I'm just talking, just talking." ”

Jia Renxin hurriedly pulled Jia Quan behind him and said: "Big brother is angry, Quan Er is still young, and it is normal to have some willful impulses, and it is common sense to look at the importance of men and women; I believe that he can distinguish the importance of things, but he just talks about it, and he will never dare to mess around. ”

"Don't worry, daddy, the child knows the severity." Jia Quantian was not afraid of the ground, but he was afraid of his father, who was strict with him, and cried in despair.

Jia Zhengjing continued to roar: "Look at your little bit of talent, how can I have such an unsuccessful son as you, I'm angry with me." "He let out a long sigh, turned around and stared blankly at the 'Heavenly Reward for Diligence' in a daze.

The study was silent, except for the soft crackling sound of the candle flames. Jia Renxin didn't speak, and stood there quietly like a statue, and the air was suddenly filled with dullness and heat, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

I don't know how long it took, Jia Zhengjing turned around, his face was calm, and his whole person changed.

"Second brother, did you tell the people you arranged to go to Wuthering Heights?"

Jia Renxin lowered his head and said: "Second brother, don't worry, the manpower has been arranged, and we will set off at Wuthering Heights early tomorrow morning."

Jia Zhengjing muttered to himself, and after a while, he said: "I didn't prevent a lot of dreams at night, so I asked them to prepare more silver taels and set off overnight." ”

Jia Renxin was shocked, it seemed that the eldest brother was ready to break the net, and said resolutely: "Since the eldest brother has made up his mind, the younger brother will arrange it." With that, he bowed and hurried out.

"Daddy, you've finally made up your mind." Jia Quan put away his crying and said happily.

"Now it's time for me, I'm unwilling to fight once" Jia Zhengjing's eyes turned red with excitement, his face was distorted, a pair of triangular eyes flashed with cold light, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"What do you need children to do these days?" Jia Quan's face was excited, his chubby face was flushed, and his muscles kept shaking with the black mole.

"If you don't do well, do more wrong, let's go back and rest early." Solemn words.

Jia Quan nodded dejectedly, turned around and left.

Jia Zhengjing sat back in the chair gently, and a cold smile appeared on his thin and hideous face: "Jia Renxin, hehe..." "The voice is sharp and hoarse, and it makes people shudder.
