The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Early the next morning, when Jia Jue was still having breakfast, Ji Yun came to the door.

"You don't have to come so early." Jia Jue laughed when he saw her.

Ji Yun chuckled: "I'm here to report the letter."

"What letter?" Jia Jue asked.

"My brother said that Tang Zexiong was not burned to death, but was hit by two swords first, and then his throat was sealed with a knife." Ji Yun said quickly.

Jia Jue frowned slightly: "This is a bit strange. Since Tang Zexiong is dead, why did he go to such lengths to set the fire?"

"Why not?" Ji Yun asked strangely.

"According to common sense, the reason for the arson is probably to destroy the corpses, but Tang Zexiong's identity is certain, so arson is unnecessary. If you are an assassin and you need to assassinate others, you will kill him before setting off. Did the fire burn his body?" Jia Jue asked.

Ji Yun thought for a while and shook her head: "No. He will leave after he dies. There is no need to set fire to it. Isn't this attracting people?"

"That's right, this is an extravagant approach." Jia Jue nodded and pondered for a while, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Ji Yun hurriedly asked.

"Unless the arsonist and the murderer are two groups, and the arsonist does not know that Tang Zexiong is dead. Or, the arsonist did it on purpose."

Ji Yun was slightly taken aback when she heard the words: "Two groups? Are there so many people who want to take Tang Zexiong's life? Do it on purpose? Why do you want to do this?"

Jia Jue smiled: "Yes, if there are two groups of people, these clues will make sense. As for why they did it on purpose, there may be many, for example, to cover up some more important things, or to deliberately Challenge the court and so on."

After hearing this, Ji Yun pondered for a while: "In the past, I always pestered my brother to arrange a servant for me, but now it seems that I was wrong."

"Oh? Why did you say that?" Jia Jue asked.

"Officers take too much brains to handle cases." Ji Yun looked distressed, "And what I dislike the most is using brains."

Jia Jue couldn't help laughing: "Then what should you do?"

Ji Yun glanced at him, and suddenly said: "I think the most suitable for me is a guard or a thug. Otherwise, you can hire me to be your guard. You do the things that use your brains, and the ones that use knives." I'll come."

Jia Jue laughed out loud when he heard this, but he didn't expect Ji Yun to be so forthright.

"What are you laughing at? Do you agree?" Ji Yun said angrily.

Jia Jue nodded: "I agree, of course I agree. But I have three rules, if you can do it, I will hire you."

Her request actually hit Jia Jue's fancy.

There is only a thirteenth lady with high martial arts skills beside him, but she has a heavy burden on her shoulders. Recently, she is busy receiving and integrating Qingxuan's power, so she has no time to separate herself for the time being.

Jia Jue is also lacking a role like a guard, who can not only listen to him, but also stay with the female family members of Jia's family to protect their safety when needed.

"Tell me." Ji Yun said hastily.

"First, you are my guard, and you must obey my orders, you understand."

"Don't worry, as long as it's not something that hurts nature and reason, I won't refuse." Ji Yun patted her chest and replied.

Jia Jue glanced at the trembling man, and continued:
"Secondly, I don't want anyone other than you to know about my business. You can do it?"

He will have a lot of secrets in the future, and he certainly doesn't want anyone to reveal them.Of course, before confirming Ji Yun's loyalty issue, he would not take her to participate in these.

"It's okay, my mouth is very tight, and I will never talk nonsense, and my brother is no exception." Ji Yun nodded immediately.

Jia Jue nodded: "Thirdly, if there is such a young man, whether to kill or capture, beat or release, you can't make decisions on your own, you have to follow my orders."

"Okay!" Ji Yun responded simply.

"Then what do you want?" Jia Jue asked.

Ji Yun thought for a while and asked, "How much is my monthly bill? I have an errand, so I can't take my brother's money anymore."

"How much do you want?"

Ji Yun pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Ask, how about 100 taels?"

Jia Jue glared at her, and said flatly, "One or two a month."

"What? This lady is also a great master! Only one or two cases per month?" Ji Yun's beautiful eyes widened.

Jia Jue glanced at him: "My official residence is from the fifth rank, and my annual salary is no more than a hundred taels of silver. Come and tell me how much silver I will give you? Earlier you said that you would be a servant, and the monthly salary was probably only a dime."

Ji Yun thought for a while, and then reluctantly said: "I heard that the young lady in your house has two taels of silver every month. I can't be less than them no matter what."

"Forget it, let's take two or two. This is what I gave you from my salary." Jia Jue sighed.

"Two taels, then, two taels." Ji Yun struggled for a while before agreeing with difficulty.

Looking at her appearance, Jia Jue couldn't help laughing again: "Okay, then it's settled. From now on, you will be my personal bodyguard."

Seeing his smile, Ji Yun frowned: "Why do I feel that you are falsifying me?"

Jia Jue shook her head quickly: "It's nothing, with your ice and snow intelligence, how could I fool you?"

Ji Yun stared at him fixedly, why does she always have the feeling of being cheated?

……

In the evening, by the Mochou Lake.

"Is this what you mean by 'things men love'?" Ji Yun, who was dressed in men's clothes, pointed at the painting boat on the lake and asked Jia Jue.

Jia Jue smiled and said, "Isn't it?"

"You men really don't have any good things." Ji Yun rolled his eyes at him. Of course, she knew in her heart that Jia Jue was here to investigate the case.

Before Jia Jue could answer, he suddenly saw a small boat approaching, and a delicate voice sounded:
"But Mr. Yu in person?"

Jia Jue looked over, but saw a young girl in the small boat, who should have come to see the guests.

"Yes, may I ask the girl's name?" Jia Jue smiled at her.

The little girl glanced at him, only to see him facing the wind like a tree, handsome and elegant, she couldn't help but blush:
"My lord, you are being polite, just call me Xiaolian."

Jia Jue smiled and said, "Miss Xiaolian, it's my first time visiting Mochou Lake, but I don't know which boat has better food and drinks?"

Xiao Lian's eyes rolled around his face, seeing that his eyes were clear, without any disrespect or embarrassment, she couldn't help feeling very fond of him.

She smiled and said, "Master, you are asking the right person. I am an expert on the matters on Mochou Lake. If you want to taste delicious food and wine, you should go to Xiuniang's boat. Then Xiuniang is from a famous family. It's a must, and she also knows poetry, so I think I can have a conversation with the young master."

"Then thank you Miss Xiaolian, I'll go to Xiuniang's boat." Jia Jue said with a smile.

"My lord, get on the boat, I'll take you there." Xiaolian smiled and held out her hand to Jia Jue.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiaolian." Jia Jue smiled and took Xiaolian's hand to board the boat.

"Miss Xiaolian, how much is the boat fare?" Jia Jue asked after boarding the boat.

Xiao Lian paddled her oars and said with a smile: "If it's someone else, there are more than ten liang who look down on me, but if it's your son, how can I charge for the boat?"

Looking at Xiao Lian who was smiling sweetly in front of her, Ji Yun couldn't help but muttered: "I'm so obsessed."
