dream of red mansion

Chapter 380
In the gloomy room, the light of the candlestick seems to be afraid of the darkness outside the house, and only dares to use its own weak light to illuminate the vicissitudes of the old man in front of the case.

Said to be an old man, in fact, he is not too old.Just because of the twilight air all over his body, he looks quite old.

Suddenly, a faintly invisible phantom flashed outside the window, and it seemed that even the lights flickered.

"You're here."

The old man said lightly.

silent.After two breaths, the door slowly opened, and a black figure stepped out from the darkness.

The old man was not afraid at all, and asked, "How is it?"

In the voice, a trace of suppressed expectation could be heard.

The black shadow stared at the old man quietly, but the old man couldn't see his face.

"Failed."

Sombra's voice was very deep, very deep.

"Oh."

The old man was also silent for a while, and then his voice returned to silence.The paused pen swam over the ink paper again, and wrote the last two words in the last place.

He folded it up and stacked it on the case, and then he looked up at the shadow, as if he wanted to see his face clearly.But nothing could be seen except the darkness.

"Go back and tell your lord, I know what to do..."

Sombra didn't reply, but the old man knew he could bring the message to him.

"I just ask my lord to take good care of my family and let them live!"

After the old man finished speaking, seeing that the black shadow had no intention of leaving, he smiled brightly, then picked up a bowl of tea by the desk, and took a sip...

The black shadow's body, which had not moved at all since entering the room, seemed to tremble.

After drinking the tea, the old man ignored the others and continued to deal with official documents at his desk.

The black shadow bowed to the old man, and then disappeared into the room, as if he had never appeared before.

Time continued to flow, and suddenly, a scarlet liquid slowly overflowed from the corner of the mouth of the old man who was writing an official document. He didn't seem to notice it, but twisted his brows, and continued to write the last comment in his life.

However, after all, it can't be satisfactory.The scarlet liquid continued to flow, and finally merged into a drop on the lower jaw, which fell on the official document, covering the old man's blurred eyes.

Suddenly, it was a bloodstain!
The old man had no choice but to give up his last wish, and slowly lay back on the grand master's chair, recalling all kinds of things in his life in his mind.

The apprehension of being a teacher in the school, the longing of studying hard in the examination room, the complacency of becoming an official once...

In the end, it was the innocent smiling face of the grandson.With a faint smile, he closed his eyes.

……

Today is another fine day.

After a cold winter, God was finally willing to let Sister Sun come out to show her blushing face.

"Haha, you two idiots, you lost again, bring the money!"

Jia Qing's ecstatic voice came from the deck on the second floor of the official ship.

On the board of the ship, there is a small table.At this time, the three of them were sitting together, playing the game of catching thieves, which has long been famous in Jia's mansion.

Beside, there were still a few onlookers standing.

"Humph!"

Since ancient times, gambling has meant that some people are happy and others are worried.No, one of the "little idiots" put the cards on the table, then looked away, obviously not going to pay...

Another idiot, Qingwen, was not so bold, or she was better at gambling. Although she also pouted, she obediently handed over ten copper coins, but she still refused to accept it and said, "No, you must be cheating." Otherwise, how could your cards be so good, I didn't even get a single card..."

Jia Qing happily took the money, and said casually: "That's because you are stupid, no wonder I..."

Then he stared at the renegades, saw that she pretended not to see, Jia Qing stood up, ready to get the spoils he deserved.

"Zijuan, quickly help me hold it!"

The repudiate was shocked, and finally turned his head, while reaching out to block Jia Qing's claws, he said to the maid next to him.

Zijuan was very obedient, and without saying a word, she picked up the exquisite piggy bank on the table and hugged it in her arms.

The renegades breathed a sigh of relief, sat back on his seat, and looked at Jia Qing provocatively.

Jia Qing sat down dejectedly, and complained: "Sister Lin, you are so shameless! Do the math yourself, how much have you owed me these two days?
I agreed not to renege on my debts, so I will play with you!Now it's like this again, hmph, I will never play with people like you who do not believe in their promises again! "

Daiyu curled her lips and was about to speak when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the front and changed her words: "Are you in Yangzhou again..."

Jia Qing just looked back and said, "Yes, we're in Yangzhou again."

Suddenly, Jia Qing stood up, walked to the side of the boat, and looked into the distance.

Seeing Jia Qing's abnormal movements, the others also walked over slowly.

After a while, the official ship slowly slowed down.Jia Qing and the others also saw the obstacles ahead.

In the center of the wide river, two small and large boats stood side by side, standing quietly.

What's even more strange is that, in the middle of the distance between the two ships, a huge banner lay horizontally in the air, swaying with the breeze.

Staying a little closer, seeing the words on it clearly, Jia Qing couldn't help but turn dark.

Who did this? !
On the banner of Gein, there are sixteen huge italic characters written clearly:
greedy for money
Abuse of authority
Favoritism
child prodigy in vain
The girls on the boat also saw it. After thinking about it, Qingwen asked, "Second Master, is this talking about you?"

Jia Qing looked unhappy and said, "What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Qingwen immediately said: "These people are really hateful, they slander the second master so much!

Second master, you should arrest them all and beat them all! "

After hearing this, Jia Qing felt warm in her heart. She looked at Qingwen and said, "It's better to be Qingwen girl! Knowing that Er Ye is a good person, she will complain for me."

Daiyu and Zijuan naturally believed that Jia Qing was definitely not the kind of person mentioned above.However, if it was out of thin air, how could these people dare to slander Jia Qing so much?Jia Qing is an imperial envoy now!

Besides, they have only heard about this kind of situation in dramas, and it is because the officials push the poor people into a hurry, so they do this kind of thing of blocking the way and "redressing grievances".What is going on here?
Several other ships in the same company also found the obstacles ahead and slowed down.

Downstairs in the official ship, Chief Zheng rushed to Chuantou, looked at the situation ahead, was startled, and then shouted loudly:
"Who is so bold, dare to intercept the imperial envoy Luanjia, isn't he afraid of beheading?"

Seeing that no one responded, Mr. Zheng turned his head and was about to ask Zhao Baihu on the frigate to send someone to arrest him. Suddenly, a voice came from the opposite ship:
"I didn't stop the imperial envoy Luanjia, I just came here to ask a corrupt official, treacherous official, and evil official for an explanation!"

"Bold!!"

Director Zheng let out a drink, and then said to Zhao Baihu, who was also paying attention to the movement here: "Please, Mr. Zhao, take down all these lunatics!"

"Hahahaha, my lord has great authority! However, if you want to let your lord down, I'm the only one here!"

On the opposite side, there was a disdainful voice.

"Is this person crazy?" Daiyu looked at Jia Qing upstairs and asked.

Jia Qing looked at the distance, this is the pier where the canal is located in Yangzhou, it is very spacious.There are also several restaurants and teahouses facing the river on both sides.

Looking around, there are many people on the sidelines at this time!
"He's not crazy, he's just asking for fame."

Jia Qing said calmly.Hehe, I didn't expect that someone would actually want to step on his head.

"Let him talk!" Seeing that Zhao Baihu's ship was already approaching, Jia Qing said in disbelief.
