The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Chapter 277 The Disaster (Long Chapter Update!!!)

There are many familiar faces in Zhen Mansion today. Chen Heng saw not only Xu Biao, Zhen Zijing and others in the crowd, but also Fengxian County Magistrate Hu Fenglai and Jinshan County Magistrate Ma Panlong. Even Songjiang Prefecture Magistrate Liu Yanzhang and Suzhou Prefecture Magistrate Zheng Chengen were present.

However, Liu and Zheng were distinguished guests, and their official ranks were much higher than Chen Heng and others. Like the Governor of Zhejiang, who was only known by name but not seen, they were led into the hall when they arrived at Zhen Mansion and never appeared outside.

Taking the corridor in the mansion as the boundary, high-ranking officials above the fourth rank and a group of nobles sat in the hall, while small figures like Chen Heng sat below the hall. Such a division can be said to be clear.

Chen Heng looked at the crowd a few more times and found that Feng Zhu from Yangzhou was also here today. He saw Feng Zhu, and Feng Zhu naturally saw this Mr. Chen.

With the previous donation from Songjiang Mansion as an introduction, Feng Zhu cherished this opportunity to make friends. After greeting the people at the same table, he stood up and came to Chen Heng to say hello.

There are many people like Mr. Feng today. Those who come to Zhen's house happily regard this place as a place for love. As long as you make more friends and nobles, you may need help in the future.

Chen Heng chatted with Feng Zhu for a while, and other merchants found the figure of Huating County Magistrate. Songjiang Port is about to be completed, and everyone is looking forward to the God of Wealth to order the port to open early, so many people took the opportunity to come up and talk and ask.

The people around saw the excitement on Chen Heng's side, and after asking around, they found out that the other party was the Huating County Magistrate who had been in the limelight in the newspapers recently. This county is the leader of Songjiang Prefecture. In terms of the status of Huating County alone, it is still above many counties in the upper prefectures.

Because of the tacit understanding of cooperation with merchants on the port, after seeing the Yangzhou and Songjiang newspaper shops' records of Chen Heng, these people asked the newspaper shops at hand to copy and retell them. For a while, Chen Heng was portrayed as a rising star in the officialdom of Jiangnan, just like a rising star of tomorrow.

You say, this birthday banquet of Zhen Mansion is really worth coming to, as you can really see officials and rising stars from all over Jiangnan here. The person with a heart was delighted and hurriedly left his companions to rush to Chen Heng to hand over his name.

The excitement in the hall was not only in Chen Heng's place. Such a large place, there were intercourse everywhere. Everyone was looking for their own way and their own people. Not long after, the field was full of mountains and mountains, each with a different image.

After talking for a while, drums and music played lightly on the stage in the corner. It seems that the birthday banquet is about to begin, and the good show is about to begin. The people who were around Chen Heng before dispersed and waited for them to sit back in their original seats. The chief steward of Zhen Mansion came out on behalf of the host who had no time to show up, and thanked the people in the hall for coming to celebrate the birthday.

The formal words here are naturally indispensable. After the old lady Zhen turned fifty, she suddenly became kind and generous. Near Jinling, there are often righteous deeds of building bridges and roads and helping the poor. This is a good thing that benefits the village. When it is mentioned today, everyone is even more excited, and the host and guests are laughing constantly.

The excitement outside was naturally heard clearly by the host in the hall. Zhen Xi, smiling proudly, raised his glass and invited the guests to drink with him. Putting down the wine glass, Zhen Xi thanked everyone for coming from afar, and then modestly said a few words for the poor hospitality. Then he turned his eyes around, and he looked around, but he didn't find his good brother.

At such a critical moment, if Zhen Baoyu is not caught to show his ugliness, it would be like a sea turtle missing a shell - a flaw in the ointment. Zhen Xi thought about it in his heart and was about to send someone to look for Zhen Baoyu. The latter had already walked from the corridor with Jia Baoyu, Ma Yin, Xue Pan and others.

Looking at Zhen Baoyu's look of looking around, and then seeing Ma Yin lying in his ear and talking non-stop. Zhen Xi knew that these people were not keeping their farts to themselves, and in a happy mood, he quickly retracted his gaze and pretended that he knew nothing about it.

…………

Chen Heng was sitting at his seat and enjoying his meal, when he suddenly saw several dark shadows shining from behind in the sunlight in front of the table. Chen Heng was not stupid, and he knew that someone was coming behind him. As soon as he put down his chopsticks and turned his head, he saw two strangers who had never met before, looking at him with a smile.

Behind these two people, there were two old acquaintances, Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan. Chen Heng guessed that the one leading the way must be Zhen Baoyu. But before he opened his mouth, Zhen Baoyu had already said, "This is your cousin's husband, right?"

The man came with bad intentions, Chen Heng narrowed his eyes and replied generously, "May I know who you are?"

Zhen Baoyu chuckled, and Ma Yin, who was standing beside him, took the initiative to answer for Baoyu, "This is the second son of the Zhen family, Baoyu - Master Bao. Brother Chen, to be honest, you and Master Bao are distant relatives."

The relationship between the Zhen and Jia families should start with Rongguo Duke Jia Yuan. Jia Yuan's wife is from the Zhen family. Their child Jia Daishan married the eldest daughter of the Shi family, who is now Jia Mu. Jia Daishan and Jia Mu raised Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Min.

This relationship was sorted out by Daiyu. Hearing Ma Yin's words, Chen Heng laughed and was about to answer. He saw that Ma Yin, who didn't know what was good for him, actually raised his hand and pretended to pat him on the shoulder.

Unfortunately, before Ma Yin's hand fell, Liu Xianglian on the side firmly grasped it. Liu Xianglian frowned, his eyes flashed coldly, and he scolded: "Ma Yin, be more respectful to my master."

A proper civil official county magistrate, and a sixth-rank state co-governor. How could Ma Yin, a small platoon leader of Jinling Guard, be able to pat his shoulder and give instructions on the spot. Even his father was not qualified. Liu Xianglian was furious. If it weren't for the public, he really wanted to kick Ma Yin to relieve his anger.

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Ma Yin immediately said in a sarcastic tone, "What a powerful Second Brother Liu, it seems that he has followed the right person. His temper is very different from before. But we are talking about relatives and friendship. I don't know why Second Brother Liu is so anxious. Even if he is loyal to the master, he doesn't need to spend his energy on today's birthday banquet."

Liu Xianglian was furious when he heard this, knowing that these people were indeed looking for trouble. He immediately used his palm to tighten his left hand that was clamped on Ma Yin's wrist. After a while, Ma Yin's palm and fingertips had turned pale.

Oh no, this Liu guy, is he serious? ! Ma Yin was shocked and angry, but Zhen Baoyu was right next to him. He couldn't take the initiative to fight back, but he was unwilling to bow his head and admit his mistakes. He could only grit his teeth and hold on. He was sure that today was a good day for the Zhen family. Even if Liu Xianglian wanted to kill, he definitely didn't have the courage to tear his face.

Do you really think I dare not destroy you? Liu Xianglian made up his mind, bent the tips of his index and middle fingers, and pretended to clasp the cartilage on the inside of Ma Yin's wrist. There is a pair of radius and ulna side by side. With a little skill, he can directly disable one of his hands.

Ma Yin also saw Liu Xianglian's intention, and immediately said in fear: "Liu Xianglian, you..."

If Liu Xianglian breaks this, Ma Yin knows that he can be a one-armed hero for the rest of his life.

Zhen Baoyu and others can't see the danger, and they are still having fun. But Chen Heng can see the cruelty in Liu Erlang's heart from Liu Xianglian's expression. He immediately raised his hand and patted Liu Xianglian on the back. He said to Zhen Baoyu with a smile: "The hall is full of distinguished guests, but it is troublesome for Master Zhen to come here specially."

Ma Yin, who made trouble out of nothing, is hateful, but in order to vent his anger, he sacrificed Liu Xianglian. This matter is a loss to the grandmother's family. Pulling Liu Xianglian back from the edge of the cliff, Chen Heng took another step forward, only slightly nodded his chin, and looked at Xue Pan behind the two of them.

Could this person be the one who started it? Chen Heng frowned and thought. But he didn't know that his gaze had already made Xue Pan panic in his heart.

The dull bully has been bullying men and women in Jinling since he was a child, and he is so powerful. But his confidence comes from the indulgence and protection of his family. Chen Heng is the first person in the world who really wants to kill him. This memory will be his lingering nightmare in this life.

Xue Pan, who was dressed in brocade and silk, immediately felt that he had nowhere to hide under the gaze of the other party. He had to lower his head and admit his cowardice: "It's not me, I didn't say anything nonsense."

Ma Yin couldn't help glaring at him when he heard it. You are a useless thing, we are kind enough to help you vent your anger. You actually showed your weakness first, damn, you are really a soft bone for dogs to chew.

It's not you? Chen Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Baoyu on the side. This man was able to maintain his dignity and met Chen Heng's gaze quite frankly. The two looked at each other, and Chen Heng shook his head. Others might not be sure, but he was sure that Jia Baoyu would never have such courage and ideas.

Compared with Zhen Baoyu who did evil, Jia Baoyu was more like an ordinary young man. He liked to hide in the girls' nest, taste some rouge, and appreciate some literati's calligraphy and paintings. Ask him to do something evil, the first thing he would do is to be scared out of his wits, and maybe he would even think it was dirty. In this comparison, Jia Baoyu was doted on by relatives and elders, but he didn't know how many times better than Zhen Baoyu.

Seeing Chen Heng take the initiative to look away, Jia Baoyu felt even more humiliated. You have married Sister Lin, and you still want to humiliate me like this. I...I...Am I so unbearable and incompetent in your eyes?

Noticing that Chen Heng finally looked at him, Zhen Baoyu was overjoyed and said, "The guests in the hall will naturally be taken care of by my brother. Cousin-in-law, cousin-in-law. Tell me quickly, how did you do it to make those newspaper shops spread your name?"

As expected of a spoiled young man, he didn't even bother to look at Ma Yin who was rubbing his wrist behind him.

Seeing that Zhen Baoyu was still only concerned about his own affairs, Chen Heng twitched his mouth and glanced at him up and down. Thinking that Daiyu was still in the backyard today, he simply smiled and responded, "This is a long story. Master Zhen, why don't we talk about it slowly after the banquet, okay?"

"No, I want to listen now." Zhen Baoyu shook his head and said very arrogantly, "Just follow me inside and sit at my table. Let's talk while we eat."

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of those who were interested. Zhen Xi was anxious watching in the hall, and he couldn't help shouting in his heart: You guys should make a fuss, Baoyu, think about your past behavior. Why are you still being so nice?

…………

…………

The backyard of Zhen's mansion was also full of female guests. It was a coincidence that Daiyu and Baochai were sitting at the same table. The two sisters who were once in love, now have different circumstances and are a bit unfamiliar.

With the same outstanding and stunning looks, they became the focus of everyone as soon as they appeared. After Mrs. Zhen praised them very much, she gave Baochai some extra gifts. This daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion came on behalf of the female elders in the family. Etiquette is not to be lacking.

Today, Xue Baochai is dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a head full of pearl hairpins and gold ornaments. She is really a peony flower in the world. It is really pleasing to the eye, and you want to see it again.

Compared with her, Daiyu's appearance is a bit plain. The material of the clothes is not bad. But her black hair was only tied into an ordinary bun, and a pearl hairpin bought by Chen Heng from a street shop in Songjiang was simply inserted in her hair. Such an ordinary look inevitably makes people like Baochai's fancy dress more.

It happened that Mrs. Zhen thought that these two people were relatives, and arranged their seats together. When people look at Baochai, they can't help but look at Daiyu a few more times.

How Zijuan didn't notice the attention of everyone, the few gossips floating around, and Ying'er's contempt for herself and his wife, all made Zijuan feel anxious. If Daiyu hadn't always been calm and calm, there was no sign of anger. Zicuckoo, who felt very sorry for his wife, was afraid that she would be the first to go outside to complain to her master.

Before coming, the master personally gave the instructions. Today, whenever Madam is wronged, she must go over and report it as soon as possible.

"Sister, eat this." Baochai took a piece of fish and put it in Daiyu's bowl. What was a very ordinary act of intimacy in the past seemed a bit deliberate to Daiyu now.

The other party is like a victorious general showing his mercy to a down and out person. But I'm really having a good time.

Daiyu blinked. She didn't want to dress up for the banquet just because her husband was the local magistrate.

That’s all, let others think whatever they want.

As I said before, after the Xue Pan incident. There was no contact between Baochai and Daiyu. Daiyu's thoughts changed several times, but she just thanked her softly.

"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, why is she so polite?" Baochai picked up the handkerchief and gently touched the corner of his lips. She is here today for Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and she must take care of the face of Rongguo Mansion in every word and deed.

"Ying'er..."

When Mrs. Jia Er called her, Ying'er immediately stepped forward and said: "Madam, the tea is here."

The fish just now was a little sweet. Baochai took a sip to relieve the taste. Seeing how elegant she was in every move she made, Wanqiu, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family, said to the sisters at the same table: "The old lady of the Jia family is really a lucky person to find such a good granddaughter-in-law like Sister Xue."

The daughter of the Jia family is prefixed with spring, and the daughter of the Zhen family is prefixed with autumn. This was something that the elders of the two families had discussed. Mrs. Zhen, who was at the head, heard her granddaughter's joke and said, "Since you are envious of others, why don't you hurry up and find something for your brother?"

This is a joke. How could the matter of finding a wife for Zhen Baoyu be entrusted to her daughter who has not yet left the court? Mrs. Zhen just saw that Baoyu had never been married, so she took today's opportunity to reveal it to the ladies present.

This baby of mine is also at the age of getting married and starting a family. If you have this intention, you should seize the opportunity.

The women who can sit here today are all smart people. After listening to the string song, I know its elegant meaning. They all praised Zhen Baoyu's character and appearance, and said: "Such a good man must be carefully selected and it is better to take his time."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhen beamed with joy and replied repeatedly: "I can't wait, I can't wait any longer. If I wait any longer, I won't be able to see Baoyu's child."

Baoyu, Baoyu. You know Baoyu every day. When Zhen Xi's first wife, Mrs. Wang, heard this, it was jarring to death. Today she was sitting next to the old lady helping with the dishes. Thinking about the hard work of her husband outside, she immediately said: "The old lady must not say anything that will make the younger generation sad. I must say, not only the second brother Bao, the old lady also has to wait for Brother Xin to grow up and marry a wife."

Brother Xin is the eldest son of Wang and Zhen Xi. He is now three years old. Mrs. Zhen also liked this great-grandson very much, and said happily: "If I can really see brother Xin get married, I will have no hope in this life. Even when I see the Bodhisattva, I can laugh out loud."

"I'm afraid that if the old lady meets the Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva will still say that the old lady's blessings have not been exhausted. She should return to her children and grandchildren and continue to enjoy the happiness of family." Xue Baochai interrupted at the right time, and his words were also appropriate and stable.

All the guests were amused by these words. One moment they praised Baochai's eloquence, and the other moment they said to the old lady: "Mrs. Jia's wife is right."

Daiyu said very little today and just watched from the side. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly felt that the way Baochai smiled looked more and more like Mrs. Wang.

She didn't know whether to evaluate it as good or bad, so she just sighed inwardly. Thinking of the actions of himself and Bao Qin, they could not pull Baochai out of the deep house.

Maybe some things and some people are just destined.

…………

…………

Chen Heng, on the other hand, was still frowning and tugging at Zhen Baoyu. The latter is really like a toad, it doesn't bite but it has a nasty attack. He refused several times, but Zhen Baoyu refused to turn around and withdraw. The guests at Chen Heng's table were also worried and stood up to help Zhen Baoyu persuade them.

Taken together, it becomes mine, right? Chen Heng gradually relaxed his eyebrows and was about to reprimand Zhen Baoyu. At the other end of the hall, there was suddenly a loud noise.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it. Looking over, he saw a late guest standing next to a servant of the Zhen family, scolding the impostor who had taken his place.

Seeing that she was having fun, Zhen Baoyu immediately left Chen Heng and walked over. Only halfway there, the guest sitting on the chair picked up a few dishes with a flick of his sleeves. Not only did he knock down the rightful owner, he also broke a lot of things.

Hearing the crisp noise, Zhen Xi immediately led the chief steward out, looked at the place where the trouble was, and asked with a cold face: "What's going on? Who are those two people?"

"One is the owner of the pawnshop in the east of the city. He is one of our own." The steward beside him whispered, "I don't know who the other one is. I don't know where he got the invitation from the pawnshop owner and joined in to join in. eat."

Are they making trouble because of something bigger? If you disturb my distinguished guests, I will pluck off your heads. Zhen Xi glanced at the steward beside him and said solemnly: "Go and get them a chair, and we will find out this person's origin later."

"Yes." The chief steward accepted the order and was about to order someone to deliver the message. When the uninvited guest saw Zhen Xi turning around and going back, he directly shouted to stay with the host and said in a surprising way: "Uncle Zhen family, you come to judge."

Good fellow, you are the birthday boy who eats arsenic - you are deliberately seeking death by hanging yourself. Zhen Xi was heartbroken. When he turned around, he looked at the man with a smile on his face and said, "I wonder what your distinguished guest has to say, and what matters need my comment."

"Uncle of the Zhen family, I have always heard of the virtuous name of the old lady of the Zhen family. She is a rare old lady of blessings in the world, and she often brings blessings to the village. I have admired you for a long time, and today I came uninvited. Although it is a bit presumptuous, she is also sincere. Sincerely, I want to congratulate the old lady..."

The man stepped forward and was almost in front of Zhen Xi. Only then was he stopped by the servants who came and pushed him back to where he was standing before.

However, what he said made Zhen Xi unable to help but nod. He immediately said happily: "My grandmother's righteous deeds at home are due to her compassion. I didn't expect that I could recruit a righteous man today. I am a guest from afar. I don't know how to address you. Can I ask the servants in the house to find a place for you?" "

"My surname is Mao..." the man said with a smile, "A nickname is not worth mentioning. Everyone who knows me will call me Daqing."

It's him? ! Chen Heng and Liu Xianglian looked at each other. No one expected that this person turned out to be a person from the Jianghu River on the Qinhuai River last night.

"Brother Mao is polite." Zhen Xi cupped his hands and was about to order someone to find a place for Mao Daqing. The latter spoke again: "Today is unexpected, but I have also prepared a congratulatory gift for the old lady. I also ask Uncle Zhen to accept it and pass it on to you. It's all my sincerity."

"Okay, okay, Brother Mao is interested."

Seeing Zhen Xi nodding his head and stopping Mao Daqing's servant, he took the gift box from the other person's hand, turned around and walked towards the head of the family. While the servants were taking steps, Mao Daqing bowed to everyone around him and apologized politely: "Today is a good day. It is because of me that I have disturbed the enjoyment of all the distinguished guests. I will write a song as an apology."

Seeing the atmosphere becoming more peaceful, others chuckled and agreed. Mao Daqing cleared his throat and immediately started singing: "Bitter rain and bad storms at the head of the river."

It was played to the tune of a Su song. The melody was gentle, but it couldn't stand up to Mao Daqing's rough and wild voice, which sounded very heroic.

"Life is full of ups and downs."

Mao Daqing continued to sing, but everyone could tell something was wrong. This song and lyrics don't look like a birthday celebration.

"Good people may not be rewarded, so why should evil people enjoy peace and happiness? Since ancient times, black and white have been divided into colors, and evil people still need to be punished by others."

Zhen Xi was already furious when he heard this, and he opened the gift box brought by his servant. He took out the worthless thing and saw that it turned out to be a white lotus carved from jade.

As soon as this thing appeared, Mao Daqing immediately stopped singing, turned to the pawnshop owner, and said loudly, "On the ninth day of November in the fourth year of Jianping, Shopkeeper Kong, together with Zhen Zijing, the magistrate of Lou County, gave interest to more than ten people in the county. Money. Forced them to sell their land and daughters at the end of the year, and their families were ruined.”

"Afterwards, in order to cover up the matter, you even asked Li Zheng to come forward to testify, saying that they all fell into the water and died. For those more than 300 acres of land, you linked them together and transferred them all to the Zhen Mansion. Shopkeeper Kong, I It’s not a lie.”

Being interrogated by Mao Daqing on the spot revealed everyone's fun-loving attitude. Shopkeeper Kong, who was making a fuss just now, immediately waved his hands in a panic and said: "No... no, it's absolutely not the case. You are slandering, do you have any evidence?"

Everyone looked at Mao Daqing again and saw him laughing loudly: "Evidence? I am not a government official, and I never ask for evidence when doing things! Since God won't accept you, the officials will protect you. It's okay, grandpa will accept you for God today." "

As soon as he finished speaking, Mao Daqing pulled out half of the remaining sword from his thigh and shouted at him: "Shopkeeper Kong, Zhen Zijing, today is the day you die."

With a sound, Mao Daqing had already rushed to the opponent. When he raised the knife and dropped it, a good man's head had already fallen to the ground. The blood spurted out, splashing like spring water. Everyone was stunned, and after a moment, everyone screamed.

Damn it, this is a killer coming from the sky.

When the people fell on their backs, everyone fled in all directions, fearing that they would stand in Mao Daqing's murderous path. Zhen Xi was also frightened. With his face suddenly pale, he backed away repeatedly and shouted to the people around him: "Go to Bao Yong, go to Bao Yong!!! Let Bao Yong come and capture him..."

Mao Daqing came over today and had no intention of giving up. He flicked away the blood on the tip of the knife and rushed towards Zhen Zijing with murderous intent.

"Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life..." Zhen Zijing was so frightened that she lost her mind. She screamed miserably, fell to the ground, and crawled in panic.

"I was wrong, I really know..." He crawled under the table, crying and begging for mercy. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck. When he touched it again, there was blood seeping out. Before she died, Zhen Zijing tried her best to turn her eyes away, only to see Mao Daqing's laughing figure walking away.

When Zhen Baoyu saw the other party running towards her, she also showed the same expression as Zhen Zijing. He shouted: "Ma Yin save me, Xue Pan save me..."

Damn it, I can save myself with this little skill. How could Xue Pan care about anything else. He had already taken his brother-in-law and hid under the table. He was smart enough to hide under the table in front of Chen Heng. Xue Pan knew that as long as Liu Xianglian was there, Liu Xianglian's martial arts would be able to protect him.

Ma Yin had no choice. His father had told him to serve Zhen Baoyu well. Seeing that the other party was in trouble, he directly picked up the wooden stool and rushed towards him.

"Well done." Mao Daqing laughed loudly, "I heard that you bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil things with him. Today you should be the soul of the dead under my sword..."

There was no weapon at hand, so the wooden chair Ma Yin held was chipped away in just a few strokes. Fortunately, he blocked Zhen Baoyu, and Zhen Baoyu was dragged away by the servants of the family.

Seeing his real master running away, Ma Yin saw that Mao Daqing was good at martial arts and was about to give up. It's a pity that he was very smart in his abacus, but he didn't know the power of Mao Daqing's sword, which was dangerous for his life. Without paying attention, the entire right hand was removed with one knife.

"Ah————" Ma Yin screamed in pain and fell to the ground. It was only then that the fear in his heart came to him.

Can't die, absolutely can't die.

He still has so much glory and wealth to enjoy, and there are still so many beautiful brothel girls waiting for him.

How could I die? I can't die, I'm only nineteen years old! ! !

"Yin'er!!!" Ma Yin's father had been protecting Zhen Xi, but he roared angrily when he saw Ma Yin's miserable condition. Ma Dayin didn't care about the Zhen family, so he rushed over with bare hands, trying to save his only son's life.

"Fuck you." Mao Daqing cursed, raised the knife and dropped it, and another head fell to the ground.

"Ah ah ah, I want your life." Ma Dayin was filled with grief and anger. This was his son. How dare this black guy? How dare he, a common man with a flat head, dare?

Mao Daqing heard this and said with a smile: "The common people want your lives too!!"

After saying that, Mao Daqing, who was eager to kill, also ran towards Ma Dayin. Only then did the latter realize that he came to attend the birthday banquet today and did not bring his usual weapons with him.

Damn it, my son can be reborn, but I can’t lose my life. Ma Dayin panicked, stepped aside, and began to hide around the banquet table. Unexpectedly, Mao Daqing's pace was also excellent. He jumped onto the table with just a few moves, and the remaining knife in his hand had already struck Ma Dayin on the head.

At the critical moment, a figure emerged from among the Zhen family servants. The man holding the whistle stick held the stick in front of the slashing blade. As soon as Mao Daqing saw his opponent, he immediately started fighting with him. After several back and forths, neither side could help the other.

Mao Daqing immediately praised him: "What a good martial artist." He added, "It's a pity that he is a scum among those who work for the tiger."

"Bao Yong, kill him." Zhen Xi shouted at the servant.

"Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor." Bao Yong stepped forward and fought with Mao Daqing while retorting.

"Hahahaha, farting, farting, it's really ridiculous." Mao Daqing was not afraid and replied, "The rice you eat is grown by the common people, and the clothes you wear are woven by the common people. Tell me, you are loyal What kind of gentleman is that?"

"Kill him, kill him!!!" Ma Dayin couldn't help shouting, "Afterwards, I will appoint you as the leader of the Jinling Guards and guarantee that you will be promoted and rich for the rest of your life."

The madness on the face of this man who had just lost his only son was almost terrifying.

Seeing Mao Daqing trapped by Bao Yong, Liu Xianglian felt at ease and hurriedly said to Chen Heng: "Sir, you go to the corridor to hide for a while. I will retrieve the sword and come to protect you."

Before entering Zhen's house, Liu Xianglian's family heirloom sword had been taken away by the gatekeeper of Zhen's house for safekeeping.

Chen Heng couldn't help but nod when he heard this. Are you kidding me? Although I know that the hero is doing justice for heaven, I can still sit upright and do so. But if you hurt yourself, it will inevitably not be beautiful.

The courtyard of Zhen Mansion was really big, and Mao Daqing had to kill him like this three times. There were still dozens of steps away from Chen Heng's position, and Liu Xianglian was not around, so Chen Heng naturally followed the instructions and hid in the corridor.

As soon as he left, Xue Pan, who was under the table, grabbed Baoyu and caught up with him in mourning. "Wait for me, wait for us. Brother Chen, brother Chen, wait for us."

Jia Baoyu, who was held in Xue Pan's hand, had been scared to death.

Flowers before and under the moon, wealth and splendor are all trivial matters before life and death.

The blood of Ma Yin, Zhen Zijing and others was already flowing along the ground. The stench of blood not only stained Baoyu's hands, but also soaked in his heart.

The three of them finally climbed up the corridor and hid behind the pillars. Liu Xianglian had already raised her sword and ran back to Chen Heng's side. He first took a look at the situation in the field. He saw that the guards of the Zhen family had arrived and were fighting to the death around Mao Daqing.

Seeing this, Liu Xianglian felt at ease and concentrated on protecting Chen Heng behind her. At the same time, he scolded Xue Pan, who was approaching him: "Stay away, don't interfere with me drawing my sword."

"Yes, yes. Brother Liu, Brother Liu. We all listen to you." Xue Pan nodded.

Ask him to beat someone to death, and he has a hundred courages. But if the person who died was himself, it would be very terrible.

Xue Pan, who was extremely obedient and sensible, was deeply afraid of offending the savior. Only standing one step away did I feel a little more at ease.

When Xue Pan also looked at the field, Mao Daqing had multiple injuries on his body. But this man is also very brave, and he shows signs of getting braver as he fights.

What a good man. Chen Henggang praised it in his heart. Who knows that Mao Daqing knows that if he continues to fight like this, he will only die. Suddenly he became fierce and fought a bloody path, running towards the backyard of Zhen Mansion.

"Old Madam Zhen, Mao Daqing is here to wish you birthday on behalf of the people of Lou County!!"

Seeing the thief escape and shouting to kill in the backyard, the servants in the venue suddenly became chaotic. Chen Heng suddenly slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Yu'er, Xianglian, go and protect Yu'er."

The people in the backyard have grown-up wives. Liu Xianglian also felt troubled and panicked, and immediately abandoned Chen Heng and chased Mao Daqing's figure.

Seeing the river of blood in the hall, Chen Heng felt panicked for no reason. He looked around, climbed across the corridor, picked up stones in the yard, and ran in the direction of Liu Xianglian.

What a bullshit guy, please don't hurt my wife.

"Sister!" Xue Pan also shouted. There was not only Daiyu behind him, but also Xue Baochai.

Xue Pan shook Jia Baoyu's shoulders again and again, shouting: "Go, Baoyu, go. Accompany me to save my sister, save your Baochai."

Baoyu was really scared. No matter how Xue Pan shouted, he was indifferent. Seeing this, Xue Pan didn't care about anything else. He just left Baoyu behind and ran to the backyard, saying: "Sister, run away, sister, run away."

This is to make up for the previous update. I took a day off for overtime work, and I made up for the words for you.
