The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Zhen's Mansion is really big. There are not only rockeries, verandas, and pavilions in the mansion, but also flat-floor wing rooms and exquisitely crafted attics. Mao Daqing ran and killed all the way, and it was a lot of fun.

He was such a vicious tiger who escaped from trouble and acted recklessly, but it was difficult for the guards of the Zhen Mansion to arrest him. This group of people was chasing after them hard. They were not good at their own skills, and they had to carefully avoid Cheng She in the mansion. How could they catch up with Mao Daqing. Only Bao Yong can still follow closely based on his ability.

Fortunately, there were smart people among the guards who knew that Mao Daqing wanted to kill the old lady. A group of people were separated in advance, and relying on their familiarity with Zhen's Mansion, they rushed to the backyard to enforce security.

As soon as they appeared, the place that was still laughing and joking suddenly became silent. Seeing that something was wrong, all the officials and wives hurriedly put away their wine glasses, gathered together, and began to feel uneasy. After a while, through the communication of several slaves, everyone learned what happened in the front hall.

When they first heard that a gangster had infiltrated the guests in the front hall, everyone's faces immediately turned pale. Then I heard that many people had died in the front hall just now, and the ground was covered with blood. Many timid official wives burst into tears and looked frightened.

In peacetime, they can still hold on to their own power. In the land of the back house, there are some distinctions between concubines and concubines, and the rich and the poor. But when disaster strikes, all the intrigues and intrigues in the past have become useless.

The scene before her eyes made Daiyu sigh and sigh. The so-called power and wealth are actually so vulnerable. She was still thinking wildly, when suddenly another maid came up outside and reported to the frightened old lady Zhen: Old lady, the uncle and the second master are fine. I heard that the young master of the Ma family... is gone, and...

Although the maid said hesitantly, it was able to make the anxious old lady Zhen put aside her worries, she cried with joy, and said repeatedly: Amitabha. Heaven bless, Buddha bless.

Madam Ma, who was hiding among the crowd, exclaimed and fainted on the spot. Ma Yin was her only son. He had worked hard to grow up. How could he die like this at the hands of thieves?

When she fainted, the people around her were confused. Everyone pinches everyone and calls out names. After finally waking up Mrs. Ma, she saw that she couldn't help but scream, crying and shouting: My son, my son...

Such a miserable sound can't help but make people feel miserable. More than one Ma Yin died outside, and no one dared to guarantee that their man would be fine. Only Daiyu's mind was relatively stable. She knew that Brother Liu was with her husband. Liu Xianglian's presence is enough to protect your husband's safety.

Daiyu was about to turn around to comfort the restless Zijuan, when a cold hand suddenly rested on the back of her hand. Daiyu turned around and saw Baochai, who looked pale. The latter kept his spirits up, and only the white color of his lips allowed Daiyu to see the nervousness of the other party.

Sister... Baochai is a talented and courageous woman, but she is still a woman after all. Although she was not in a state of despair at the moment, she could not let go of her worries when she thought of her brother and Baoyu outside.

Now is the moment of impending disaster, and Baochai can't care about the gap between the two families for the moment. She knew that the situation would be even more critical. In the whole house, there is only one trustworthy person, Daiyu.

Sister, don't be afraid. Although Daiyu usually has a bit of a temper, she is always very broad-minded when it comes to big things. He raised his hand and gently patted the back of Baochai's hand. She thought for a while, but couldn't find any comforting words, so she could only say, My husband is here, and the matter will be resolved soon.

Daiyu had some blind trust in Chen Heng. Not to mention, Brother Liu is still here. Zijuan, who was standing behind Madam, nodded with peace of mind upon hearing this. Yes, it’s hard to tell Uncle Xue and Second Master Bao. But my master has always been very resourceful. As long as the master is here, there will be no big trouble.

The thoughts of this master and servant are really funny. If Chen Heng really learns about Dai Yu, he may be so anxious that he shouts: Yu'er, you think too highly of your husband. With our strength, if Mao Daqing kills me, it will be as easy as me killing a chicken.

I don't know if Daiyu's words had any effect, but Baochai's expression was obviously much calmer. Baochai suppressed her thoughts and said aloud: Yes, sister. They will be fine...

Behind her, Ying'er, the personal maid, was already quietly looking around. This maid is also loyal and is thinking about where to take her wife to hide in order to save her life if a thief comes in.

The gloomy and sad atmosphere in the house was still permeating, but there was an unexpected noise outside. Everyone's thoughts were busy, and they were a little panicked when they heard the noise.

What are you doing to stop me? I'm an official of the imperial court. Get out of here... The visitor was yelling, seemingly pushing and shoving the Zhen family's guards.

Daiyu subconsciously pricked up her ears. She always felt that this voice sounded familiar. After a while, the visitor had already rushed to the closed door and called softly: Yu'er, it's me.

Are you really a gentleman? Daiyu's eyes lit up, she stood up in the gaze of all the ladies, blushed and said happily: Mr.

When Chen Heng outside heard this, his mind suddenly relaxed. He said eagerly: As long as you're fine. Don't be afraid. Brother Liu has already gone to help capture the thief. You stay in the house and I will take you back soon.

Daiyu nodded repeatedly, she was not panicked at all. At this moment, listening to my husband's gentle words of comfort, I even replied: My husband, please pay attention to yourself.

Yeah. Chen Heng nodded outside. As long as Daiyu is fine, she is better than anything else. Anyway, he was not familiar with the people in Zhen Mansion, so there was no need to worry too much about it.

Seeing that her husband had no intention of continuing to speak, Daiyu was about to sit back down. Baochai said softly from the side: Good sister, please help me ask my eldest brother and... husband-in-law.

Seeing the nervousness and fear in Baochai's eyes, Daiyu couldn't find the words to refuse. I had no choice but to look outside and ask in a loud voice: Ms. sir, how are Brother Xue and cousin doing?

No, I came here regardless of safety, how can you still care about outsiders? Chen Heng frowned when he heard this. He muttered: They are very good.

It's nothing, just a little frightened. Not a hair is missing from the body...

As soon as Daiyu heard Chen Heng's tone, she knew that her jealousy was over. I'm going to suffer a lot, and I don't know how to coax him after I go back. Feeling a strange feeling in her heart, Daiyu hurriedly shut up and sat down, rejecting the other ladies' attempts to inquire.

Thank you sister. Baochai looked touched and held Daiyu's hand tightly.

Seeing that Baochai finally regained her composure, Daiyu nodded and began to look forward to the passage of time.

…………

…………

It really means Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

Chen Hengcai threw the stone in his hand in the corner, and Xue Pan came after him. The guards of the Zhen family naturally recognized this uncle of the Xue family and did not do anything to stop him. After letting Xue Pan run to the door and confirming Baochai's safety, Xue Pan finally stopped sobbing.

Outside the lobby where the banquet is held, there are two corridors. Chen Heng was too lazy to pay attention to Xue Pan and hid in the verandah. Unexpectedly, Xue Pan had no eyesight. After answering Baochai, he immediately followed and stood close to Chen Heng.

Chen Heng didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he had to let his thoughts wander. When he came here before, he didn't dare to think about the consequences of Daiyu's robbery. Now think about it again, if Daiyu really made a mistake. Even if I risk my life, I still have to bite Mao Daqing twice.

But thinking about Mao Daqing's reasons further, his hatred for young men like Xue Pan became even more intense. No matter how useless Jia Baoyu was, he never went out to cause trouble. Why can't these gentlemen learn from Jia Baoyu?

Xue Pan noticed Chen Heng's gaze and subconsciously whispered: I...I really won't do it again.

Hey. Chen Heng sighed, they are all people who won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Unexpectedly, Ma Yin, who had become a dead soul, had some regrets before he died.

Seeing that Chen Heng looked bad, Xue Pan didn't dare to say anything. He had no choice but to cover his face with his hands, feeling the hot breath exhaled from his mouth and floating on his fingertips.

He couldn't figure out why Mao Daqing came to Zhen Mansion's birthday banquet and caused a scene. The people who died in vain in Lou County were neither relatives nor relatives of Mao Daqing. What kind of hatred and hostility would make the other party pick up a knife and commit murder directly in Zhen's Mansion.

Xue Pan couldn't understand, and was even more afraid that like Ma Yin, he would suddenly become the victim of someone else's sword. He was puzzled, and peeked at Chen Heng who was standing quietly, and finally asked: Chen...Brother Chen, do you know why he dares to kill people? Isn't he afraid of the government and the king's law?

Hearing this question, Chen Heng sneered on the corridor and said in an incomprehensible tone: People in Jinling dare not go out at night, and they have to be careful when crossing the street during the day. Now you ask me, why did he kill someone?

As long as Daiyu is fine, Chen Heng hopes that Mao Daqing will kill a few more evil-doing young masters to give these people a warning. The common people of the world are not lambs to be slaughtered, willing to be killed at the slightest opportunity.

When a common man is angry, he will still be able to take five steps with blood splattered. When there is really no way out, even if there are thousands of ordinary people walking at night with swords in their hands, countless Mao Daqing will stand up.

It's just that the conflict between the common people and the nobles has become so intense. This world is going to be in chaos. Chen Heng held back his voice, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance. At the end of his sight, Liu Xianglian was running towards him with a relaxed expression.

grown ups!

How is it? Chen Heng noticed the blood stains on Liu Xianglian's clothes and asked with concern.

Let him run away. Liu Xianglian shook her head regretfully.

When Chen Heng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but condense. Bao Yong's martial arts skills are difficult to evaluate. Thinking of the other party's original work, he can single-handedly fight off the gangsters who sneaked into Jia's house, so he should be pretty good at it. With Liu Xianglian in the mix, why not live with Mao Daqing?

Could it be? Chen Heng's mind was spinning quickly, and he guessed that Liu Xianglian might be merciful. The latter didn't say a word, just winked at his master, and then sheathed his sword.

The thief has escaped, and the remaining aftermath is naturally left to the Zhen family to deal with slowly. The men who had no idea where to hide before finally thought of the wife and family members in the back house of Zhen Mansion. Households gathered together, crying and crying, and at the same time, they were somewhat happy to escape from the place of right and wrong.

Everyone has suffered an unreasonable disaster. It is hard to say whether they will dare to come to Zhen Mansion as a guest in the future. The Chen family was about to go back, but they made up their mind to leave Huating later.

The four of them walked out of the gate together and walked side by side towards the alley. Their carriage is parked here. On the way, Zicuckoo pulled Liu Xianglian to ask about the fight. These people flying around in the world have always been a storyline in storybooks. I can meet Zicuckoo and Daiyu today, so I am naturally a little curious.

Chen Heng listened to the answers from his family, and his expression was filled with happiness and joy. As long as these people are fine, that's better than anything else. Arriving at the unguarded carriage, Chen Heng jumped onto the carriage with a quick stride. Just as he was about to lift the curtain and enter the carriage, his half-bent body suddenly froze on the spot.

At this moment, Chen Heng felt that all the hairs on his body were standing on end, and his arms were covered with goosebumps. In the carriage, he saw Mao Daqing panting. The other party was holding the tip of the knife, pointing straight at him, with a pair of eyes that had just killed someone, also showing a bit of coldness and determination.

Sir... Liu Xianglian saw something was wrong with Chen Heng, and immediately put her hand on the hilt of the sword and shouted softly.

The strangeness of the two men immediately made Daiyu feel nervous. Chen Heng froze at the front of the car and hurriedly raised his hand to signal Liu Xianglian to calm down. He stepped into the carriage and said to Mao Daqing: Let them go, I will find a way to take you out of the city.

Impossible. Mao Daqing lowered his voice. He was injured in many places, and his clothes had already been soaked with blood. Like a trapped animal, he stared at Chen Henghe's hanging curtain.

Then let's die together. Chen Heng knew that he could not show any cowardice at this moment. The lives of his family were in his hands. The distance just now was just one step away. Chen Heng knew that as long as he wanted to shout, the other party would definitely raise the knife and drop it, and he didn't care about killing one more person.

Are you threatening me? Mao Daqing has the valor of a man from the northwest and the ruthlessness of a man from the northwest. On the back of the hand holding the handle of the knife, veins popped out and the bones were clearly defined. It was obvious that he was planning to commit murder in anger.

I'm discussing with you. Chen Heng said as quietly as possible. As long as Daiyu can be saved, anything can be said. Only on this point, he would not give in even an inch.

Let them come up. Mao Daqing said harshly, and the cold blade came closer, so close that Chen Heng's nose felt biting.

Kill me. Chen Heng replied without showing any signs of weakness. If he wanted to take Daiyu into the fire pit, it would be better to die.

Liu Xianglian was anxious outside. He was determined to fight in with his sword, but he also knew that unless Mao Daqing's head was cut off with one sword, the other party would definitely have the power to kill Chen Heng on the spot.

In a panic, Liu Xianglian couldn't take care of her. Daiyu had already broken free from Zijuan's hand and stepped onto the carriage.

Madam... Liu Xianglian exclaimed, never expecting that Daiyu would be so bold and reckless.

Daiyu lifted the curtain, walked into the car with small steps, and sat next to the despairing Chen Heng. Holding the opponent's trembling hands, he comforted Mao Daqing: Don't be anxious, strong man. A strong man invites you. I'm here. There is no need to embarrass my husband.

Confused. Chen Heng scolded lightly. He had always respected Daiyu's intelligence, how could he believe that she would do such an insane thing.

Daiyu held Chen Heng's hand firmly, stuck out her tongue at it, and said with a grimace, My lord, please don't forget our life-and-death oath.

When has this happened, are you still talking about this? Chen Heng was really angry, but he was reluctant to blame Daiyu. I could only think about what if there was an eventuality and I would have to stand in front of Daiyu.

During the silence between the three of them, Liu Xianglian and Zijuan also climbed into the car. The five people sitting in the small carriage were naturally very crowded. In this situation, let alone draw the sword, for fear that if he makes any movement, the remaining sword will already be swung away.

Thinking of this, Liu Xianglian immediately said harshly: I'm in the house, I shouldn't think of you as a good man, and let you go without mercy.

Mao Daqing also fell silent after the previous battle. How could he not see that Liu Xianglian's martial arts skills were superior to his own? But as things have developed now, the Chen family can only blame themselves for their misfortune. He, Mao Daqing, has a reason to live.

Which one of you is going to drive the car? Mao Daqing asked the four of them, holding a knife.

In order to deceive others, Chen Heng knew that only Liu Xianglian driving alone would not arouse suspicion from outsiders. Liu Xianglian also knew that if she continued to freeze here, if she attracted the attention of the Zhen Mansion, her family would definitely end badly.

Mao Daqing, remember, if I make a mistake, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, I, Liu Xianglian, will find you and cut you into pieces.

Mao Daqing is also not afraid, he is a person who licks blood from the edge of a knife. If you were really afraid of death, you wouldn't come to Zhen's Mansion to cause trouble today. After snorting, he raised his hand and patted his head, shouting: The great heads are here, don't be afraid of their death, you can come and get them now, you don't have to wait until later.

Liu Xianglian didn't show off her quick words and directly raised the curtain and sat outside. He waved his riding whip and shouted: Drive!

Seeing the carriage finally moving, Liu Xianglian was driving outside again. Facing a weak scholar and two female relatives, Mao Daqing finally lowered the blade and pressed it on his knees. He said out loud: I know you.

Hearing what Mao Daqing said, Chen Heng said angrily: Oh?! I wonder where this ungrateful person heard about my reputation.

Now the lives of the couple hang in each other's thoughts. No matter how good-tempered Chen Heng was, he was extremely angry at this moment. When you say it out loud, it naturally doesn't sound good.

Now he still had to rely on the other party to send him out of the city, and Mao Daqing did not want to fight Chen Heng to the death. He was silent for a moment and took the initiative to soften his words: The newspaper said that you are the Qingtian Grand Master of the people of Huating. I know that you are a good official who makes decisions for the people. What happened today is that I can't help you and Brother Liu...

Don't worry, as long as you are safe, I will send you out of the city. I, Mao Daqing, owe you my life. I, Mao Daqing, swore on the death of my mother and my wife that I will never embarrass you and your wife. I will also tie a grass ring to repay your family in the future.

When Chen Heng heard this, his mind relaxed slightly. He couldn't tell, although he didn't expect Mao Daqing to repay him in the future. But after hearing that the other party would not embarrass himself and Daiyu too much, I still felt that this person's words were somewhat credible.

Those who are interested in grudges and grudges will have no place in the world if they cannot even keep their promises.

Chen Heng nodded and boldly looked at Mao Daqing. Suddenly she said: Zicuckoo, go get a blanket from the grid.

What are you going to do? After hearing Chen Heng's words, Mao Daqing immediately clenched the handle of the knife.

Idiot... Chen Heng cursed angrily and reprimanded, If your blood continues to flow, it will drip along the board and onto the ground. Are you afraid that the Zhen family will not be able to find you?

Mao Daqing fell into silence. After all, he had read books and his thoughts were more meticulous than ordinary people. When Zicuckoo was trembling, she raised her hand to wipe away the blood on the wooden board and put the blanket on the ground.

Thank you. Mao Daqing finally believed Chen Heng's words when he saw that Zijuan did not move.

With initial trust, Chen Heng added: Leaving in such a hurry will definitely make others suspicious afterwards. We still need to go back to the inn to let them retrieve their luggage and talk to the shopkeeper about everything, so that we can hide it from others. .”

Mao Daqing frowned slightly, and considering how many things had changed, he subconsciously refused: How can I have time for such trouble? Leave the city, I want to leave the city now.

Are you afraid that others won't know that I escorted you out of the city? You committed such a big case today, and as an official of the imperial court, I protected you like this, and you will definitely not be able to escape the death penalty afterwards. The word death is used on both sides, so you might as well It would be easier to kill our family now.

Mao Daqing really couldn't defeat Chen Heng. Hearing this, he could only sarcastically say: After all, he is an official fanatic. At this time, he has not forgotten his ability to be an official.

You want to make decisions for the people and ask for orders for the people. Why don't you expect me to be the county magistrate in Huating for a few more years, take good care of the local people, and let them live a more peaceful life? Chen Heng also retorted.

Come on, I'm really confused, why should I argue with a literati? When Mao Daqing fell silent, Chen Heng took the initiative and immediately asked Liu Xianglian to divert to the inn.

When they arrived at the end of the field, they asked Zijuan and Liu Xianglian to handle foreign affairs. After everything was settled, the family went to the car dealership in the city and spent some money to buy a carriage. After finishing everything in such a foolproof manner, Chen Heng chose the gate in the east of the city and signaled Liu Xianglian to concentrate on her journey.

Hahahaha, today’s update is very timely.
