The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

"Just explain the situation to the fairy priest truthfully, this isn't our fault!"

"I'm worried that the fairy will unleash her fury and make things difficult for us!"

"So what? It's still better than recklessly going to the capital to make a living, isn't it?"

"Isn't there any other way? I feel like this is too negative!"

"Then we can only target individuals who are alone; there's nothing else we can do!"

"That works too. At least we can give the fairy an explanation later!"

"Alas, who knew the situation in the capital would change so drastically? We were caught completely off guard and can only rely on waiting for the rabbit to run into our trap!"

"Heh, you talk as if you can do anything. Wasn't it you, monk, who first said that we couldn't stay in the capital? That's why we quickly left the meditation retreat."

The monk and the Taoist priest were not in a good mood. After exchanging a few private complaints, they began their operation.

And you know what? They actually managed to find quite a few members of the Jia family from the capital who were working outside the city.

It's a pity that they were all from collateral branches, and their relationship with the Ning and Rong mansions was only so-so, so their help to the monks and Taoists was pitifully small.

However, they also noticed some clues from these collateral relatives!

Logically speaking, with the decline of the Jia family's fortunes in the capital, these collateral descendants should not have benefited at all.

Their luck was rather ordinary, even less than that of ordinary people in the capital.

His abilities were extremely mediocre; his only advantage was that he could read and write.

However, the literacy rate in the capital was still quite high!

The key point is that these members of the Jia family's collateral branches should have become accustomed to living off the Ning and Rong mansions.

When the Ning and Rong mansions collapsed, they scattered like birds and beasts.

When that time comes, without the protection of the Ning and Rong mansions and their clans, their lives will surely be quite miserable.

For example, in the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, if Jia Yun hadn't fallen in love with Xiao Hong and received support from Xiao Hong's parents, how easy would it have been for him to leave the Rong Mansion early and make his own way in the world?

It's likely that she received guidance from Xiao Hong's parents, which is why she left the Rong family circle so early.

Otherwise, even when the Rong family was at its lowest point, it was still a behemoth to Jia Yun.

Even a little bit of profit would be enough for him and Xiao Hong to live a comfortable life.

That's right, the monk and the Taoist priest encountered Jia Yun outside the capital city, in the Tongzhou area.

At this point, Jia Yun had made a name for himself!

When Jia Huan first transmigrated, it was during the most difficult time for him and his mother.

With the help of her mother doing odd jobs and the clan's assistance, they barely managed to eat and avoid starvation.

After Jia Huan left the mansion to attend school and established the Ningrong Street branch, his life gradually improved.

He didn't join a church, but instead helped with errands and did odd jobs, and his income was already quite good.

As the gang's influence rapidly expanded, it needed a lot of manpower to run legitimate businesses. Jia Yun became one of the lucky ones, running an inn at the starting point of the artificial waterway in Tongzhou.

It can only be said that some things are still very much a matter of fate.

Jia Yun's performance was definitely among the better ones among the clan's children.

Slightly different from the original Dream of the Red Chamber, this time it was Xiao Hong's parents, Lin Zhixiao, one of the four stewards of the Rong Mansion, who took a liking to him first and betrothed their daughter Xiao Hong to him.

Forget about feelings; the dowry alone provided by Lin Zhixiao's family was enough for Jia Yun to build a successful career on his own.

Of course, he didn't do that; he understood the hardships of going it alone very early on.

Unlike the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, because Jia Baoyu's reputation was ruined early on, Lin Zhixiao and his wife did not send their daughter of marriageable age to Jia Baoyu's courtyard to make a living.

Instead, she was sent to Wang Xifeng's side early on to gain experience. Once she had gained enough experience, she asked Wang Xifeng to remove Xiao Hong's status as a slave so that she could marry Jia Yun normally.

Of course, they were already a couple, and their life after marriage was quite happy.

Jia Yun's situation was already quite good through his own efforts, so he didn't need Lin Zhixiao's help. His married life with Xiao Hong was even more harmonious.

That's how it should be!

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, Jia Yun gives the impression that he married into Lin Zhixiao's family.

Although Lin Zhixiao did not mean it that way, Jia Yun did make a name for himself by relying on him, and no one knows whether he was unhappy about it or not.

Leaving aside other matters, the monk and the Taoist priest met Jia Yun.

The first thing to observe was Jia Yun's aura. But what he found was astonishing.

They actually saw a hint of officialdom in Jia Yun's aura!

In other words, this kid Jia Yun might actually become an official in the future!

This is very abnormal!

Based on the monk and the Taoist's impression of the Ning and Rong families, it was already quite difficult to ensure that the sons of the two families could smoothly become officials with real power, let alone help the collateral relatives.

But that's the truth; the monk and the Taoist priest couldn't possibly doubt their own abilities!

"How is this going?"

"How would I know? Maybe something happened over the years that we're unaware of!"

"Aren't you a member of the Taoist sect? You should be very clear about the changes in fortune!"

"I don't cultivate the Dao of Destiny, so how would I know so much? Monk, don't try to shift the blame; I won't admit it!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I remember when we were in the capital, we met this kid Jia Yun. It seems like he doesn't have the aura of a red official, does he?"

"Of course, Master Dao is not confused. Jia Yun's luck is merely thick and white. He is stronger than ordinary people, but he certainly doesn't have the aura of an official!"

"So, he acquired his 'red official aura' during the time we were away?"

"That's for sure. It's not that a mortal's fate is unchangeable; it's just that people who can change their own fate are not common!"

"Then let's take a look at a few more members of the Jia family and see how their fortunes change!"

"That's how it should be. But what about Jia Yun? Should we give him a little naughty treatment?"

"No need. He's just a nobody. Besides, this place is so close to the capital. I'm worried that making a move might cause trouble. Let's just forget about it and be on the safe side!"

And so, the monk and the Taoist priest let Jia Yun go, allowing him to escape a calamity without realizing it.

The saying "those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune" is perfectly exemplified in Jia Yun's case!

Not long after, when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he overheard some news.

The branch plans to recruit several people with management skills to go to sea; there are important tasks assigned to them.

Jia Yun was so clever; he immediately sensed the opportunity!

He ran an inn at the starting point of the artificial waterway in Tongzhou, so he was naturally very well-informed.

I've naturally heard a lot of news and rumors about maritime trade in Tianjin.

He knew that the branch had a stake in the maritime trade, and it was said to be in cooperation with important figures in the capital.

In addition, he had a good relationship with the shopkeeper of the Xue family's shop nearby, and gradually learned some secret information from him that was difficult for outsiders to know.

He didn't know anything else, but he did know that the Xue family had invested a huge amount of money in their offshore businesses in Tianjin!

Combining various rumors and information, Jia Yun gradually guessed the true purpose of the hall recruiting managers. His heart pounded wildly, and he realized that his opportunity had arrived.

Because of a coincidence, he wasn't originally one of the candidates to be recruited, so if he wanted to win the contract, he had to act immediately. There was no time for him to go home and discuss it with his wife and father-in-law.

Having made up his mind, he volunteered directly to the important figures in the gang.

The branch responded very quickly and soon gave a clear answer!

After careful confirmation and discussion within the organization, Jia Yun was selected as one of the managers for this recruitment and will soon be sent to the port area of ​​Jeju Island in the open sea as a temporary official.

And so, by chance, Jia Yun seized the opportunity and unwittingly became an official outside the Daqian system.

"A monk and a Taoist priest?"

Jia Huan looked at the urgent letter in his hand, a puzzled expression on his face.

At this moment, he had already received an urgent letter from Jia Cong, the contents of which naturally attracted his attention.

The assassination attempt on Jia Cong is nothing new!

After all, this guy was wandering around the Central Plains with three thousand men, doing things like cutting off people's livelihoods and ruining their official positions. How could he not provoke a strong backlash?

They have been targeted by numerous assassination attempts, with one or two of them being particularly dangerous.

But that's all there is to it!

Given Jia Cong's current physical condition, unless it's a deadly poison or a highly potent poison, it's impossible to kill him directly.

Given enough time to recover, his life is in no danger!

As for direct assassination attempts, Jia Cong also encountered them several times!

In particular, the presence of the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains contributed to the flourishing of martial arts culture in the region.

Just like in the world of Swordsman, once Shaolin becomes powerful, the influence and strength of the entire Central Plains martial arts world will be quite astonishing.
