The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

If Jia Huan didn't compare him to dirt in the mud, then this time travel would have been for nothing.

Without looking away, he calmly said, "But the master has overlooked one point!"

"No matter how bad Rong-ge'er's performance was, he still brought about a dozen servants and guards with him. That's the foundation of a martial family like ours!"

"How could the youngest son of the Ke Ma family, without much preparation, have managed to severely injure Rong Ge'er, and how could his men be all covered in wounds?"

"There's only one possibility: the men that Ma Yuan's youngest son brought with him are much stronger than the men that Rong Ge'er brought!"

"Impossible!" "This is impossible!"

The old lady and Master She exclaimed in unison, saying that such a thing was unlikely to happen.

As for the Second Master Zheng, he didn't feel much about it, but he did feel that something was amiss.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Before, I specifically asked Sister-in-law Zhen in private about the details of how Rong-ge'er was seriously injured, and the situation was similar to what I described!"

Then, I briefly explained the situation.

That's why I say Jia Rong is such a useless piece of trash; the abilities he displays are truly speechless.

It turned out that this fellow had received Jia Zhen's instructions and immediately found the whereabouts of Ma Yuan's youngest son.

They were all seasoned veterans of the pleasure quarters, and when they found the man, he was in a famous brothel in the capital.

This guy is trying to put on airs, or perhaps he's just inexperienced and hasn't been through anything like this before.

When we first met, I greeted the other person with a smile, as if I wanted to make friends.

As a result, in the struggle for the top courtesan in the brothel, anger flared up and evil thoughts arose in their hearts.

Ma Yuan's youngest son was quite decisive; he overturned the table, grabbed the wine pot, and smashed it at Jia Rong without any hesitation.

If the boss has taken action, how could his underlings possibly remain indifferent?

Thus, a chaotic battle quickly broke out, and the result was that Ma Yuan's youngest son's guards, despite being outnumbered, managed to beat the Ning family's servants and guards so badly that they fled in all directions with bloodied heads.

Jia Rong's behavior was almost like that of a typical sissy.

Anyway, he was stunned by the beating. Ma Yuan's youngest son personally attacked him, almost disfiguring him. He also had one of his arms and one of his legs broken. He was a typical example of a useless piece of trash.

"Useless, truly just a piece of trash!"

Lord She roared in anger, his face displaying a variety of expressions, clearly furious.

He's a real playboy. Back in his heyday, he was known as the best in the capital. What kind of things hasn't he seen?

When it comes to fighting and brawling, he's always the one leading the group and beating others until they're bloodied and bruised. When has he ever suffered a loss?

The old lady also looked disappointed, shook her head, and didn't say anything more.

Just kidding, she came from a time of war and has seen more than even Lord She.

Although he didn't need to accompany his husband to war, he had experienced the terrifying state of mind that comes with war several times, so what Jia Rong encountered was nothing compared to that.

If you're going to take action, just start doing it. Why play these smiling tiger tricks?

Only Master Zheng thought Jia Rong had done a good job, his approach of first being polite and then resorting to force was reasonable and well-founded.

Of course, he wouldn't say that aloud. It would be clearly inappropriate.

What embarrassed the Jia family the most was not this, but the fact that the brothel where the fight took place demanded that Jia Rong compensate for the cost of the tables, chairs, and benches damaged in the fight.

However, the Jia family dared not refuse to pay compensation, since the owner behind that brothel was a powerful member of the imperial family.

In other words, they don't need to give the Jia family any face at all; the news has probably already spread.

Just thinking about this made the core members of the Rong family present quite unhappy.

"Don't you elders find this strange?"

Jia Huan's words drew the old lady's and the others' attention back.

He said to himself, "A vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue who came from the imperial examination system, who is not a member of the imperial family and has no powerful family background, yet his youngest son's bodyguards are so good at fighting?"

At this point, Jia Huan said in a deep voice, "There's definitely something wrong here!"

He spoke with absolute certainty, but there was even a hint of worry in his heart: If Jia Zhen led his men to rush over rashly, would they end up with nothing but blood?

Of course, if only Jia Zhen is unlucky, Jia Huan can accept it.

This fellow is the greatest scourge of the Ning and Rong mansions!

The matter of coveting a daughter-in-law is, in the backyard of a wealthy family, merely a rather disgusting piece of gossip, not a big deal, as long as it doesn't become common knowledge.

But for some reason, this guy, in order to curry favor with the current emperor or sever ties with the deposed crown prince's faction, actually killed someone to show his support.

Damn it, even though Qin Keqing wasn't officially listed in the royal register, everyone knew she was a noblewoman with royal blood.

Otherwise, how could her funeral have caused such a commotion?

In contrast, the funeral of Jia Jing, Jia Zhen's biological father, was far more shabby than anything else.

You killed a noblewoman with royal blood just like that. What will the current emperor think?

It's obvious to anyone with a brain what the royal family is thinking; it's not good intentions.

Leaving aside the digressions, let's turn back to Rongqing Hall. After Jia Huan's reminder, the group of bigwigs present suddenly realized what was going on.

“Huan-ge’er is right, there’s something strange about this, and a really strange one at that!”

"Investigate! We must find out the truth!"

"We definitely need to investigate, and of course, we also need to strengthen our defenses in the manor!"

The old lady and Master She both spoke up, their expressions rather subtle, a mixture of anger, confusion, and even a hint of unease.

Well, at this point, the Rong family was only at the tail end of its peak.

It may appear powerful, but it is actually quite weak inside and cannot withstand much setback.

If Jia Huan could see it clearly, how could the old lady and Master She not see it clearly?

Only the Second Master Zheng was somewhat slow to react, but some of his actions revealed his guilty conscience.

If the investigation reveals that everything is normal, the consequences could be quite serious.

As the heir of the Ning family, a branch of the clan, the quality of the servants and guards he had was even lower than that of the protection provided to the youngest son of a mere vice minister. One can imagine what this meant.

If the other powerful figures discover the flaws, then the Ning and Rong mansions will be in danger.

Putting everything else aside, there's no way they can save their businesses outside the region. That's why the struggles between the powerful and wealthy are described as bloody and ruthless.

Jia Huan didn't feel too guilty; he had said what needed to be said and given all the necessary reminders.

As for how the core members of the Ning and Rong mansions conduct themselves, that's not something he can dictate.

Of course, through his gang of thugs, he also gathered some unusual information, all about Ma Yuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

This fellow's hometown is in Lu, near the Grand Canal, not far from the capital.

The information gathered by the people sent out revealed that the Ma family's situation was indeed quite unusual.

Well, the Ma family is not as simple as it seems on the surface. They appear to be the most powerful family in the area, with considerable influence both in official circles and in the underworld.

According to locals, the Ma family's rise to power has only occurred in the last twenty years, and the speed at which it has been so rapid that it seems quite unbelievable.

Even stranger, men dressed in tight-fitting clothes often came and went from the Ma family's large estate outside the city.

Their bodyguards are known in the area for their fighting prowess; it's unclear where they were recruited from.

The fact that the locals were unaware of the Ma family's birth of a son is even more bizarre.

Unfortunately, the thugs Jia Huan had were nothing special. It was already quite an achievement that they were able to gather this information and escape unscathed; they couldn't expect much more.

Jia Huan couldn't be sure that the Ma family definitely had a problem!

After all, he didn't know much about the powerful landlords of the Great Qian Dynasty, or how much power they wielded, so he dared not draw any definitive conclusions.

As for the specific situation within the Daqian territory, it is not very clear.

This had a significant impact on his judgment.

The main issue is whether a real Jianghu (江湖, a world of martial arts and chivalry) or Wulin (武林, a world of martial arts and chivalry) exists in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber.

If so, what level and standard would it correspond to?

These things may seem insignificant, but they are crucial information in Jia Huan's mind.

There's not much Jia Huan can do now; he can only wait for Jia Zhen's reaction from the Ning Mansion.

Meanwhile, his own life rhythm was not disrupted by this incident.

The situation remains the same as before; at most, the only change is the commencement of medical studies.

Indeed, through some official and private maneuvering, he finally managed to get the two well-known doctors who had been implicated and imprisoned released.

One is Zhou Shouli of Ping An Tang, and the other is Wu Youhe of Ren He Tang!

In the past, Jia Huan would have been dreaming if he wanted to recruit them, but isn't the situation a bit special now?
