The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

There are really a lot of acquaintances in the Zhen Mansion today. Chen Heng saw not only Xu Biao, Zhen Zijing and others in the crowd, but also Hu Fenglai, the magistrate of Fengxian County, and Ma Panlong, the magistrate of Jinshan County. Even Liu Yanzhang, the prefect of Songjiang, and Zheng Chengen, the prefect of Suzhou, were also present.

However, Liu and Zheng were distinguished guests, and their official ranks were much higher than those of Chen Heng and others. Like the governor of Zhejiang, whose name was only heard but not seen, they were ushered into the hall upon arrival at Zhen Mansion and never appeared outside.

With the verandah in the mansion as the boundary, senior officials of fourth rank and above sat in the hall with a group of nobles, while in the hall were small people like Chen Heng. Such a division can be said to be distinct.

Chen Heng took another look at the crowd and found that even Feng Zhu from Yangzhou was here today. He saw Feng Zhu, and Feng Zhu naturally also saw Mr. Chen.

With Songjiang Prefecture's previous donation 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, and those who come to Zhen Mansion with great pleasure regard this place as a place of love. As long as you make more noble people and friends, you might be able to borrow some help in the future.

Chen Heng chatted with Feng Zhu for a while, and other merchants discovered the presence of the Huating County Magistrate. Songjiang Port is about to be completed, and everyone is looking forward to the God of Wealth ordering the opening of the port as soon as possible. Therefore, many people take the opportunity to come up to talk and inquire.

People around him noticed the excitement on Chen Heng's side, and after asking around, they found out that the other person was the Huating County Magistrate who had recently made a splash in the newspapers. This county is the leader of Songjiang Prefecture. In terms of the status of Huating County alone, it is still higher than many other counties in Shangfu.

Because they had reached a tacit understanding of cooperation with the merchants at the port, after seeing the articles written by Yangzhou and Songjiang newspapers about Chen Heng, these people asked the newspapers at hand to copy and reproduce them. For a time, Chen Heng was portrayed as an upstart in Jiangnan officialdom, as if he was a rising star.

You tell me, this Zhen Mansion birthday banquet is really worth it. As expected, you can meet officials and rising stars from all over the south of the Yangtze River here. The interested person was overjoyed and hurriedly left his companions behind and rushed to Chen Heng to hand over his name.

The excitement in the hall was not limited to Chen Heng. In such a big place, there are human connections everywhere. Everyone is looking for his own way, and everyone is looking for his own person. Not long after, the place was full of hills, each with its own strange appearance.

After saying this for a while, drums were playing lightly on the stage in the corner. It seems that the birthday banquet is about to begin, and the fun is about to begin. Everyone who was still surrounding Chen Heng dispersed, waiting for them to sit back down. The chief steward of the Zhen Mansion came out for the master who had no time to show up, and thanked everyone in the hall for their kindness in coming to celebrate his birthday.

The scene here is naturally indispensable. After Mrs. Zhen turned fifty, she suddenly became philanthropic. Near Jinling, there are often righteous deeds to build bridges and roads and relieve the poor. It was a good thing that benefited the village. When he said it today, everyone burst into tears, and the guest of honor kept laughing.

The excitement outside was naturally heard clearly by the host in the hall. Zhen Xi, who was smiling proudly, raised his glass and invited everyone to drink with the distinguished guests. Putting down his glass of wine, Zhen Xi thanked everyone for coming all the way, and then humbled himself for his poor hospitality. Then he turned his eyes around and looked around, but he didn't find his good brother.

At such a critical moment, not arresting Zhen Baoyu to make a fool of himself would be like missing the shell of Neptune—a fly in the ointment. Zhen Xi thought about it and was about to send someone to find Zhen Baoyu. However, the latter had already come from the corridor with Jia Baoyu, Ma Yin, Xue Pan and others.

Look at Zhen Baoyu peeping her head, and then look at Ma Yin lying in the other person's ear talking non-stop. Zhen Xi knew that these people were not holding their shit in. In a happy mood, he quickly looked away and pretended that he had no idea about it.

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

Behind these two people were actually two old acquaintances, Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan. Chen Heng took a look and guessed that the first person must be Zhen Baoyu. But before he spoke, Zhen Baoyu had already said, This is my cousin-in-law.

The person who came here is not kind. Chen Heng narrowed his eyes and replied generously: I wonder who you are?

Zhen Baoyu chuckled lightly, and Ma Yin, who was standing beside him, took the initiative to reply on Baoyu's behalf: This is the second young master of Zhen Mansion, Baoyu - Mr. Bao. Brother Chen, let's talk about it. You and Baoyu Young master, we are still distant relatives.

The relationship between the Zhen and Jia families should be discussed starting from Jia Yuan, the Duke of Rongguo. Jia Yuan's wife came from the Zhen family. Their child Jia Daishan married the eldest daughter of the historian, who is now Jia Mu. Jia Daishan and Jia Mu also raised Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Min.

It was Daiyu who helped her sort out this relationship. Hearing Ma Yin's words, Chen Heng chuckled and was about to answer. Then he saw the ungrateful Ma Yin actually raising his hand, trying to slap him on the shoulder.

Unfortunately, before Ma Yin's hand could fall, it was firmly clamped by Liu Xianglian on one side. Liu Xianglian frowned, her eyes showed a cold light, and she scolded: Ma Yin, show some respect to my family.

A serious civil official and county magistrate, there is also a sixth-grade state magistrate. How could it be that Ma Yin, a little Wutou of Jinling Guard, could pat his shoulder casually on the spot to show off. Even his father is not qualified for this. Liu Xianglian was furious. If it weren't for the public gaze, he really wanted to kick Ma Yin in order to relieve his hatred.

Oh. Ma Yin heard this and immediately said in a strange tone, It seems that the impressive Brother Liu is with the right person. His temper is much different than before. But we are talking about relatives and friendship. I don't know Liu Er. Brother, why are you so anxious? Even if you are loyal to protect the Lord, there is no need to spend all your energy on today’s birthday banquet.

Liu Xianglian was furious when she heard this, knowing that these people were indeed looking for trouble. The palm of the hand was immediately used hard, and the left hand clamping Ma Yin's wrist was tightened a little bit. After a while, Ma Yin's palms and fingertips turned pale.

No, does this guy named Liu really want to play? ! Ma Yin was shocked and angry, but Zhen Baoyu was right next to him. He was neither able to take the initiative to fight back, nor willing to bow his head and admit his mistakes. I can only bite my tongue and grit my teeth to hold on. He was sure that today was a great day for the Zhen family, and even if Liu Xianglian had murderous intentions, she would never have the guts to break up with him.

Do you really think I dare not destroy you? Liu Xianglian's heart skipped a beat, and she bent the tips of her index and middle fingers to clasp them on the cartilage on the inside of Ma Yin's wrist. Here is a pair of radius and ulna bones side by side. As long as you use some skillful force, you can immediately cripple a person's hand.

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

This needs to be broken off by Liu Xianglian. Ma Yin knew that he could be a one-armed hero for the rest of his life.

Zhen Baoyu and others could not see the danger in it and were still enjoying themselves. However, Chen Heng could 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 then joked to Zhen Baoyu and said, The hall is full of distinguished guests, but Mr. Zhen has come here specially to thank me.

Ma Yin, who makes trouble out of nothing, is certainly hateful, but in order to express his bad temper, he hooked up with Liu Xianglian. No matter how you look at this matter, it’s all a loss to grandma’s family. Pulling Liu Xianglian back from the edge of the cliff, Chen Heng took another step forward, slightly tapping his chin and looking at Xue Pan behind them.

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

Dai Bawang bullied men and women in Jinling since he was a child, and he was very prestigious. But his confidence comes from the connivance and blessing of his family. Chen Heng is the first person in the world who really wants to kill himself. This memory will be a nightmare that will linger in his life.

Xue Pan, who was dressed in brocade clothes, felt that he had no place to hide under the gaze of the other party. He had no choice but to lower his head and admit it: It's not me. I didn't say anything nonsense.

Hearing this, Ma Yin couldn't help but glare at him. You useless thing, we are here to vent your anger out of kindness. You actually showed your cowardice first, damn, you are really a piece of gristle for dogs to chew on.

Not you? Chen Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Baoyu aside. This person could still maintain his face and look at Chen Heng quite openly. 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 the courage or idea.

Compared to Zhen Baoyu, who did evil things, Jia Baoyu is more like an ordinary young man. I like to hide in my daughter's nest, taste some rouge, and appreciate some literati's calligraphy and paintings. If you ask him to do something evil, the first thing he will do is be scared out of his wits, and maybe he will feel dirty. In such a comparison, Jia Baoyu is many times better than Zhen Baoyu who is doted on by relatives and elders.

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

Noticing that Chen Heng finally looked at her, Zhen Baoyu was overjoyed and said: The guests in the hall naturally have brothers to take care of them. Cousin-in-law, cousin-in-law. Tell me quickly, how do you do it, let those who report Your name is recited in every shop?

As expected of a young man who was pampered and pampered, he didn't even bother to look at Ma Yin, who couldn't help but rub his wrist behind him.

Seeing that Zhen Baoyu was still only concerned about his own affairs, Chen Heng twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at him up and down. Thinking that Daiyu was still in the backyard today, she simply put on her face and said, This matter is a long story. Mr. Zhen, why don't we talk about it later after the banquet, okay?

No, I want to listen now. Zhen Baoyu shook her head and said very arrogantly, You can just go inside with me and sit at my table. Let's talk while eating.

The movement on their side naturally attracted the attention of interested people. Zhen Xi watched anxiously in the hall, and couldn't help shouting in his heart: You guys are making trouble, Baoyu, think about your past behavior. Why are you still so vocal and angry?

…………

…………

The backyard of Zhen Mansion was also full of female guests. It was a coincidence that Daiyu and Baochai were sitting on the same table. A pair of sisters who were deeply in love in the past are now in different situations and are somewhat alienated.

The same outstanding and stunning appearance made them both become the focus of everyone's attention as soon as they appeared on the stage. After Mrs. Zhen praised them very much, she gave Baochai some extra gifts. This daughter-in-law from Rongguo Mansion came here on behalf of the elders of the family. Etiquette cannot be lacking.

Today, Xue Baochai is dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a head full of pearls and gold ornaments. She is really a peony flower in the world. It's really pleasing to the eye, and I want to watch it again.

Compared with her, Daiyu's appearance is a bit watery. The materials used in the clothes are not bad though. But her black hair was only tied into an ordinary bun, and a pearl hairpin that Chen Heng bought from a street shop in Songjiang was simply inserted into her temples. Such an ordinary appearance inevitably makes people prefer Baochai's dressed-up appearance.

It happened that Mrs. Zhen thought that the two were relatives and arranged their positions 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. Zijuan, 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 here, the master personally gave 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 bit 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 table: The old lady of the Jia family is really a lucky person to find such a good grandson-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 is something that the elders of the two families have 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 wife Wang heard it, it was extremely jarring. Today she was sitting beside 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 want to tell you that 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 currently 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 words make sense.

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 people but it responds to them with its diaphragm. 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, but 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 a fuss over something bigger than that? 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 add a chair for them, and we will find out the origin of this person later.

Yes. The chief steward accepted the order and was about to order someone to deliver the message. When the uninvited guest saw that Zhen Xi was about to turn around and go back, he loudly asked the host to stay and said in an astonishing voice: 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 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 my grandmother's compassion. I didn't expect to be able to recruit a righteous man today. I am a guest from afar. I don't know how to call you. I will 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 melodious, 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 the eleventh month of the fourth year of Jianping, you, shopkeeper Kong, together with Zhen Zijing, the magistrate of Lou County, gave interest to more than ten people in the county. money. They were forced to sell their fields 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 What he said was half-truth.

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 stepped back 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 here 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, please 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 person 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 do anything about 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 are you?

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 that Mao Daqing was 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 nodded when he heard this. Are you kidding me? Although I know that the hero is doing justice for heaven, I can still sit up straight. 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 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. They saw that the Zhen family's guards 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.

Mrs. 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, crawled 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, but there was not only Daiyu behind him, but also Xue Baochai.

Xue Pan shook Jia Baoyu's shoulders repeatedly and shouted: Let's go, Baoyu, let's go. Accompany me to save my sister, and save your Baochai.

This Baoyu was really frightened. No matter how much Xue Pan shouted, he was indifferent. Seeing this, Xue Pan couldn't care about anything else. He left Baoyu alone and ran towards the backyard, saying: Sister, run away, sister, run away.

This is the previous update. I worked overtime one day and asked for leave, so I’ll make up for the word count for you.
