Jia Huan didn't care about these things, after all, his reputation in the Rong Mansion was not bad either.
If he hadn't always kept a low profile, his reputation might have been ruined by now!
In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, Madam Wang consistently used the tactic of praising the original owner of the body to her detriment!
Even though Jia Huan, out of resentment, directly pushed over the oil lamp and burned Jia Baoyu, he still did not receive the corresponding punishment. This is blatant praise that leads to destruction.
Who knows what the situation is really like at the Marquis of Jinxiang's residence?
Jia Huan wasn't in a hurry; he simply instructed his underlings to continue gathering more information.
A mansion like this, with its internal situation so dire, must be in complete chaos. With careful investigation, we can surely uncover more of the truth.
Just then, accurate news also came from Feng Ziying's side.
The message was very simple: it stated the exact location of Han Qi, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Jinxiang.
Without hesitation, Jia Huan led some of the martial arts instructors from his gang over there.
At this moment, Jia Huan was very concerned about his own safety and did not want to give certain guys any opportunity to take advantage of him!
When we arrived at the place, we realized that it was also a martial arts school.
However, the scale here is obviously much smaller than that of the main branch.
He didn't stand on ceremony and led his people in, only to be stopped by the disciples guarding the gate.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"Are you looking for someone? Does the martial arts school have a disciple named Han Qi?"
"What do you want with Han Qi? He's a senior brother at our martial arts school!"
"Is he at the martial arts gym right now? We're his friends!"
"Yes, he is, but I haven't heard that Senior Brother Han has any friends."
"Haha, there's a reason why they won't tell you!"
Jia Huan spoke with a smile, and then, led by the gatekeeper, went directly into the martial arts hall.
The area inside wasn't very large, and there were only a dozen or so martial arts students practicing in the training ground, all of them using very simple and widely popular martial arts techniques.
"Senior Brother Han, they say they are your friends!"
The gatekeeper walked up to a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six, pointed at Jia Huan and his group, and said.
"You are... I don't think I recognize any of you?"
Han Qi was indeed handsome and dashing, but his gaze toward Jia Huan and the others was quite strange.
"Now that we know each other, don't we?"
Chapter 300 A Renowned Reputation (Please Subscribe)
In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, Han Qi only appears once.
It was during Qin Keqing's funeral that many sons of noble families gathered together.
When the original text introduced these sons of noble families, it also distinguished them by their social standing.
For example, the eight sons and grandsons all held titles and belonged to the first rank of noble families.
Among the twelve marquises, those with both titles and official positions are on another level, such as Qiu Liang, who comes from the Jingtian Marquis's family and is now a fourth-rank official in Shuntian Prefecture.
There was also Xie Jing from the Marquis of Dingcheng's mansion, who was now a guerrilla commander in the capital garrison, quite remarkable indeed.
As for Han Qi, he was ranked alongside Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan, among others.
They were all "idle people" who had certain abilities but did not hold any official positions.
As far as Jia Huan knew, Han Qi was the eldest son of the current Marquis of Jinxiang, and he was over twenty-five years old. It was rather abnormal that he was in such a miserable state.
Just by looking at how he hangs out at the martial arts school, you can tell he's not someone without ambition.
Jia Huan glanced at Han Qi's training equipment and immediately understood, asking directly, "Brother Han, are you planning to participate in the martial arts examination?"
"Hmph, our Senior Brother Han has already passed the martial arts examination and will soon be taking the martial arts examination to become a higher-ranking martial arts scholar!"
A martial arts disciple nearby snorted and said arrogantly, "Isn't this a piece of cake for Senior Brother Han?"
Han Qi waved his hand, his expression calm and his voice slow: "You still don't know how to address a friend?"
Jia Huan and his group put considerable pressure on him; it was clear at a glance that they were not to be trifled with.
Apart from Jia Huan, whose physique could only be described as lean and wiry, the other henchmen were all burly and imposing, exuding a fierce aura.
Fortunately, this was a martial arts school, and all the students were energetic young men who showed no signs of timidity.
Jia Huan and his group did not show any direct hostility, otherwise things would not be so harmonious at this time.
Even if they are not as skilled as the martial arts school, they still have handy tools to use, right?
"A mere honor..."
Jia Huan smiled slightly and was about to introduce himself.
Like I said, he's not here to fight or cause trouble, so there's no need to make things too tense.
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion broke out at the entrance of the martial arts school, interrupting him.
"Brother, I've brought some powerful masters with me. Hurry up and welcome them!"
A loud, somewhat arrogant laugh came from the entrance, followed by a young man in fine clothes swaggering in, surrounded by more than a dozen martial arts masters.
The man glanced around, completely ignoring Jia Huan and his group, and then looked at Han Qi, shouting, "Big brother, big brother, the expert I've invited this time will definitely satisfy you!"
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here!"
Han Qi's face darkened immediately upon seeing the newcomer, and he said with displeasure, "This is not a place for you to run wild, get out!"
"Brother, what are you saying?"
The elegantly dressed young man didn't seem to care. He strode closer and said casually, "I know you're fond of martial arts, so I specially invited a master to give you some pointers. Is that wrong?"
"Big brother, do you look down on me? Do you think I'm just a son born out of wedlock and not worthy to speak to you?"
"You can't do this! Father has always taught us to love our brothers. If he knew you treated your younger brother like this, he would be angry and disappointed!"
"you!"
Han Qi's face was extremely ugly, especially with outsiders present, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Who is this idiot?"
Jia Huan asked one of his underlings, "So arrogant, how come we've never heard of you before?"
The underling beside him knew a bit about the Marquis of Jinxiang's residence. He glanced at the man and whispered, "It's Han Xuan, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Jinxiang. His relationship with his elder brother has always been so-so!"
This is hardly a casual relationship; it's practically a complete falling out.
The two spoke softly, so their voices went unnoticed by others.
The way they were whispering to each other and the occasional glances they exchanged made Han Qi and Han Xuan, the two brothers, feel rather uneasy.
"Brother, your martial arts school doesn't look very good!"
Han Xuan chuckled and said, "You don't know how to greet guests, and you have the leisure to whisper among yourselves?"
"Kid, who are you talking to with that sarcastic tone?"
The martial arts instructor who came with Jia Huan was displeased and snorted, "Don't go looking for trouble!"
"Who do you think you are, acting so arrogantly? Do you even know who I am?"
Han Xuan's face darkened. He pointed to his nose and glared at the martial arts master who had spoken, saying coldly to Han Qi, "Brother, don't say I'm disrespecting you!"
"Make this guy kneel down and kowtow to apologize, or this isn't over!"
Upon hearing this, the martial arts masters who had come with Jia Huan were immediately horrified.
Each of them stared coldly at Han Xuan, their hearts brimming with undisguised killing intent.
They are all ruthless individuals who have participated in numerous conflicts in the martial arts world. Recently, they have been taking turns following Jia Cong to suppress bandits. Each of them has several lives on their hands, and their strength is quite remarkable.
Once the killing intent was released without restraint, the temperature in the small training ground of the martial arts school seemed to drop several degrees, and a solemn and murderous atmosphere quickly spread.
"Young master, be careful! These guys are no pushovers!"
The underling following Han Xuan's side changed his expression slightly and hurriedly grabbed his arm to remind him in a low voice.
"With so many of us, are we afraid of them?"
Han Xuan was quite dissatisfied, feeling that he had lost face in front of his elder brother, and said angrily, "And those masters I invited are not easy to mess with either!"
But he didn't notice that the martial arts master he had hired at great expense had a solemn expression on his face, but didn't utter a single word.
In the past, he would have already made a scene in front of his sugar daddy, instead of being so obedient.
"Enough, Han Xuan! Those people aren't disciples of the martial arts school. If you have a problem, come at me!"
Han Qi roared, breaking the somber and tense atmosphere of the training ground.
"Hey, so you're not one of the boss's men after all!"
Han Xuan's face showed a mocking expression. He glanced at Jia Huan and his group and said coldly, "Since you're not from the martial arts school, then get out. You're not welcome here!"
