The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Tang Xiaolong nodded, and suddenly asked suspiciously,

"Still alive?"

Madam Rong glanced at Tang Xiaolong indifferently.

"What did Hall Master Tang say?"

"hehe."

Tang Xiaolong smiled awkwardly, and then said,

"Mammy is an elder in the village. If you don't mind, you can just call me Xiaolong!"

Rong Mama glanced at Tang Xiaolong and said with a smile,

"Haha, Hall Master Tang, how about I review Article 16 for you?"

Tang Xiaolong's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"No, that's not necessary! Thank you, Aunt Rong, but that's not necessary!"

After the discussion was over, Rong Mama said,

"Even if you don't need to evacuate immediately, go back and check the intelligence of the masters of the Rongguo Mansion one by one. This Rongguo Mansion is full of strangeness, which makes me feel that it is full of calculations."

"I also remembered that when I accompanied the county lady to visit Jia She today, Jia She kept asking about our situation in Yangzhou intentionally or unintentionally. You should check with both father and son."

Tang Xiaolong nodded solemnly.

"Okay! I'll make a note of it!"

Then he said,

"However, if we want to do this secretly, the Rongguo Mansion is an old and aristocratic family after all. It is not as easy to infiltrate as the father and son in the east. It will take several days."

"I only have a few of my men out there right now. I can give you the contact signal later so you can send them your way."

Rong Mama nodded when she heard this, and clasped her fists towards Tang Xiaolong and said,

"Thank you, Master Tang!"

Tang Xiaolong smiled and waved his hand.

"It's all for Qingfeng Village!"

Suddenly she thought of something and looked at Aunt Rong and asked,

"Madame Rong, regarding Jia Lian and his son, I think..."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand and asked in a low voice,

"how do you feel?"

Madam Rong thought for a moment and shook her head.

Under Tang Xiaolong's puzzled gaze, he said,

"If it weren't for the worst, we wouldn't have come in. Now a servant from the main house has died. If the main house's offspring also die one after another, even if there is nothing wrong, it will inevitably arouse people's thoughts!"

After hearing this, Tang Xiaolong thought about it and fell silent.

After a moment's silence, he clasped his fists towards Rong Mama and said,

"Then I'll make some arrangements first. I'll find a chance to get a feel for Jia She and Jia Lian as soon as possible. If they show any signs of noticing anything, I'll kill them immediately! But you have to be prepared on your end too..."

Rong Mama took a deep breath, looked at Tang Xiaolong and nodded.

"Don't worry, I understand!"

"But you have to be careful too!"

"Don't worry, Madam Rong!"

Tang Xiaolong clasped his fists, smiled and pointed at Rong Mama's face.

He turned and walked towards the rockery where Rong Mama had come out earlier.

Confused, Rong Mama took out a snow-white handkerchief and wiped her face lightly, leaving a little blood stain.

He smiled and shook his head, then folded the handkerchief back into his sleeve.

Heading towards Rongxitang.

……

The outer room of Rongxi Hall.

The dinner is still going on, and people are still drinking and chatting.

Although these people are all from the Jia family, except for Jia She and Jia Zheng, most of them are from the same clan, so their daily lives are naturally not as good as those in the Rongguo Mansion.

We had a sumptuous banquet today, and the elderly were okay and observed some etiquette.

Almost all the young people were showing off with their cheeks flared.

But today is a family dinner, so naturally there are not so many details.

At the main table, Jia She, Jia Zheng and their peers in the Jia family raised their glasses frequently. However, Jia She had a pair of triangular eyes, which would occasionally glance at everyone in the room, as if he were a falcon searching for prey on the ground.

Suddenly, Jia She saw Jia Rong, whose face was flushed, sitting at Jia Lian's table.

Although he was chatting and laughing with the children around him, his eyes would look outside the door from time to time.

Speaking of which, it seems that nothing has gone well in the East Palace since the beginning of the year.

First, Jia Rong's son, who had not yet married into the family, died in a firestorm before the wedding.

Soon after, his father Jia Zhen was stripped of his title and sent to Jinling.

That was the place closest to the rebels in Yangzhou, yet Jia Rong could still live so comfortably.

Judging from his complexion, he seems to be getting better?

This made Jia She start to think.

Thinking of this, Jia She stood up calmly and walked towards Jia Lian's table.

When Jia Lian saw Jia She coming, he quickly put down his wine glass and stood up to salute.

"master!"

Seeing this, Jia Rong and others also stood up and saluted Jia She.

"Master!"

Hearing the name "Big Master", Jia She's face darkened unconsciously, but he still smiled and said,

"You all sit down! You all sit down!"

"Tonight is our family dinner, and it's also a welcome party for the old lady's granddaughter, the Lady of Leping County. Everyone, eat and drink well!"

"Thank you sir!"

Upon hearing this, all the young men sat down again, but because of Jia She's appearance, they seemed a little more reserved than before.

Jia She walked up to Jia Rong and asked with a smile,

"Rong'er, I heard that Brother Zhen went south to Jinling. How has he been doing recently?"

Hearing that it was just a common greeting from an elder, Jia Rong also responded politely,

"Thank you for your concern, Master. You wrote to me not long ago saying that he has several families in Jinling taking care of him and that everything is fine!"

"Oh, that's good! That's good!"

Jia She smiled and nodded, and said with emotion in front of everyone,

"The future of our Jia family depends on you young people. From now on, everything depends on you!"

Everyone bowed in unison.

"We will remember the master's teachings!"

Then Jia She casually asked Jia Rong a few more questions, but since he saw nothing unusual, he did not suspect anything.

After saying a few words, I was about to return to my seat.

But at this moment, a burly man in a brocade robe and carrying a square box walked in.

Jia She just felt that this person was very powerful. Where could he find such a person in the Jia family?

Coupled with the doubts in his heart before, Jia She became particularly wary of outsiders.

I couldn't help but ask,

"Huh? Who is this person? Why does he look so unfamiliar?"
