The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Early the next morning.

Jia Zhen and his son packed up quickly and bravely, leaving the entrance of the mansion. Just as they were about to rush to the ”Wangjiang Tower” to make a deal with Sun Shaozong, they saw several carriages surging out of the Rongguo Mansion, and the scene was very lively.

Jia Zhen asked someone over and realized that because Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu had both appeared in this play, many people in the Rongguo Mansion were also clamoring to join the fun.

It was needless to say Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, even Jia Huan, who has been neglected recently, as well as the nobody, Jia Cong, and even the second eldest grandson Jia Lan, were in the queue.

Upon hearing the report, Jia Zhen remembered that when he celebrated his birthday a few days ago, not everybody supposed to be there was there, and his heart became a bit jealous.

But Jia Rong's eyes twirled beside him, and he suddenly exclaimed with joy, "Father, this matter is quite easy to handle now.”

Seeing Jia Zhen unable to understand his intentions, he quickly explained, "Since the Yihong Courtyard incident, Second Sister was taken advantage of by Sun Shaozong, and Uncle Lian has been jealous of him in his heart. Now that Uncle Lian has just started to think about the Second Sister, if he knows that Sun Shaozong is coming to steal the one he took a liking to, how can he let Sun Shaozong off?”

“What do you mean?”

Jia Zhen frowned and said, "Encourage him to take a head start?”

Seeing Jia Rong nod, Jia Zhen shook his head again and said, "It's not right, it's not right! If we do it this way, isn't your Second Sister be a benefit to Second Master Lian?”

“What are you afraid of? We need to be a middleman for him, so we can taste the soup first and then send the Second Sister over. Isn't that enough?”

Jia Zhen still felt a bit reluctant upon hearing this.

But he was even more afraid that his start would be unfavorable and he would lose the face of Ningguo Mansion. Therefore, after careful consideration, he still squeezed out a smile and stepped on the servant to get off the carriage, shouting and saying, "Second Brothers Lian, come and talk.”

Jia Lian had already seen the carriage of Ningguo Mansion and thought it was Jia Rong inside, so he didn't take it seriously. Now, seeing Jia Zhen coming down from above, he quickly greeted him with a smile and said, "It’s rare for you to be interested in coming out for a walk, Brother Zhen.”

“Interested?”

Jia Zhen's face turned pale and he smiled bitterly. "The others have bullied us both, yet you don't listen or ask. If I don't come out again to seek justice, won't the faces of our Rong-Ning Mansions all be trampled on like mud?”

Jia Lian was stunned and said in surprise, "Where do these words come from, Brother Zhen?”

“Don’t you know?”

Jia Zhen looked left and right, pulled him to the carriage, and then dispersed each other's servants before lowering his voice and saying, "A few days ago, on my birthday, didn’t you take a liking to my Second Sister?”

Jia Lian's thoughts have never been a taboo in front of Jia Zhen's father and son, and he noticed that they were also ordinary. Therefore, Jia Lian only chuckled and said, "It depends on Brother Zhen's willingness to part.”

“What good is it for me to be willing to give up?”

Jia Zhen paused and said, "To tell you the truth, I also intended to set you up with my Second Sister, but a man came halfway and wanted to swallow both sisters!"

“How could such a thing happen?”

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and said strangely, "Who is so bold as to dare to snatch the favor of Brother Zhen?”

"Who else can it be? It's the Sun Family Erlang! He saw the beautiful girl of the You Family Sisters at my house, and he was moved by that..."

As expected by Jia Rong, upon hearing that Sun Shaozong was planning to take in ”Second Sister You” again, Jia Lian's face immediately turned fierce.

Before Jia Zhen could finish speaking, he burst into a loud curse and said, "What a dirty heart and rotten intestines. If it weren't for the kindness of my family's charity, how could these brothers have lived to this day? Not to mention marrying my flower-like sister to his house for a continuation.”

“Even the wild dog on the street who received so many favors is grateful to my family! Sun Erlang is a bastard that snatches my woman. He's just an ungrateful bastard.”

“If I don't let him know more about my prowess, won't he be climbing onto my head and taking a shit and pee in the future?”

Seeing that Jia Lian was indeed stimulated, the more he said it, the more agitated he became. He vowed to teach Sun Shaozong some lessons. Jia Zhen couldn't help but be overjoyed, but on his face, he pretended to share a grudge and said he wanted to fight alongside Jia Lian so that people could know the strength of the Rong-Ning Mansions.

The two of them had an ”agreement,” and Jia Lian was too lazy to gather with those half-aged children anymore. He only instructed Baoyu to take good care of them and led several trusted slaves to rush to the ”Wangjiang Tower” with Jia Zhen and his son.

As they approached the Prison God Temple, they saw that there were already many cars and sedans parked on the street and a pile of domestic servants crowded outside the gate. It turned out that, due to the limited space inside, those Masters who were not worthy of status and couldn’t be considered prestigious and had to leave their servants waiting outside.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Jia Lian angrily jumped down, regardless of whether Jia Zhen and his son followed or not, and with a few wealthy slaves, he was about to rush in.

“Master, Master, this Master?!”

The two waiters guarding the door quickly laughed and said, "I dare to ask, which Mansion are you from?”

Jia Lian criticized and asked, "Is Sun Shaozong in this building?”

The two waiters were stunned by his question but immediately nodded and said, "Lord Sun is currently in the Guanlan Pavilion on the second floor.”

Jia Lian didn't wait for them to finish speaking before he took another step and rushed inside.

The two waiters naturally wanted to stop him, but unexpectedly, two wealthy slaves holding their horse whips and slapping their heads in the face came up and cursed, "Even if you're blind, how dare you stop the Second Master Lian from Rongguo Mansion?”

The two waiters were originally whipped and had the intention of resisting a few times, but upon hearing that he was the Second Master of the Rongguo Mansion, they immediately softened their spines and pleaded for mercy in a mournful voice.

At this moment, Jia Zhen hurriedly caught up with Jia Lian from behind, picked a big thumbs up high, and praised him, "Because of your arrogance, the responsibility of Rongguo Mansion should fall on your shoulders in the future.”

Jia Lian became more and more proud, like a crab, and led his two families, a dozen or so healthy servants, to the second floor in a rampage.

Who knew, as soon as they arrived upstairs, someone shouted, "What are you doing?”

Jia Lian followed the sound and saw the two standing with their hands down, guarding the entrance of a magnificent private room. On top of their heads, a half-moon-shaped relief was adorned with the three gilded characters ”Guanlan Pavilion.”

This ungrateful bastard has such great authority…

Jia Lian sneered disdainfully, raised his head, and pointed his nostrils at the two people, asking, "Let me ask you, is Sun Shaozong inside?”

The two of them glanced at each other and raised their heads proudly, "Is this something you can ask?”

Even the servants of the Sun family were so arrogant and domineering!

Jia Lian was already in a rage, and he had just been praised by Jia Zhen. How could a few servants be allowed to act recklessly in front of him?

Without even thinking about it, he raised his hand and pointed at the two people, shouting, "Take them down, so that they can grow and remember their lesson.”

The wealthy slaves of the Rong-Ning Mansions were already rubbing their fists and palms on the side. Upon hearing this, they immediately rushed over and, without saying a word, pressed down on the two, swung their whip, and kicked them, fearing that slowing down would result in losing points in front of their Master.

The two gatekeepers didn't expect that the other party would start fighting without saying a word, and they were surrounded by a group of people. Even though they suffered a big loss, they refused to give in and shouted, “How dare you fight with us?”

“Ouch! You guys... Do you guys don't want to live anymore?”

“How dare you talk back?”

Anyway, no matter how big the commotion was, Jia Lian was to take responsibility. Thus, Jia Zhen also fiercely said on the side, "Hit, hit, hit! Hit their teeth down one by one, and I'll see if these two things that are blind still dare to talk back.”

The wealthy slaves of Rong-Ning Mansions received orders and were about to strike harder when the two of them screamed in unison, "There are assassins, there are assassins!”

With this shout, suddenly, from the nearby Private rooms upstairs and downstairs, over thirty people were surging out, each holding bright weapons in their hands. They shouted one after another. “Escort, hurry up and protect!”

“Protect the Prince…”

“Don't let the assassin go…”

Prince?

Assassin!

Escort?!

Jia Lian and Jia Zhen looked at each other, feeling cold from head to toe. They suddenly remembered that although they were performing here, the singing troupe of Prince Zhongshun’s Mansion was playing!

Was it not Sun Shaozong inside, but…
