The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 247

The incident of the soul demanding the life of Monk Guiming made the whole capital feel like a festival, and the "Tong Xiucai" refused to go out to meet people because of a small piece of hair missing, and stayed in the Liu's Timber Shop every day, wishing he could pull the seedlings and encourage them a few times .Every time Jia Cong and Jia Huan saw him laugh, Liu Xianglian got annoyed and cursed, "Laugh again and kick you out! That's a good idea." The two of them endured it.

Zhu Tongnai asked: "If you are the aides of the virtuous king, please tell me how to deal with this matter?"

Gong Kun said: "It's just a few romantic stories. The oiran married an oil seller, the young lady ran away with the groom, the king of Lu and the king of Chen fought for a fan...Guan Baojing and everyone in Beijing forgot what in the blink of an eye. Monk."

Jarvis said: "Scheming is not my specialty, I just listen to a few gentlemen."

Liu Xianglian said: "Scheming is not my specialty, I just listen to a few gentlemen and my daughter-in-law."

Jia Huan said: "Leave it there and don't care. Anyway, it's just a few idlers in the market. If they have the guts, they dare not fight against the soldiers and horses of Wucheng, and talk about the virtuous king."

Jia Cong said: "It is obvious that someone instigated this matter, and we will find out the instigator. Anyway, I am not going to investigate, but Gong Yizhi."

In the end, everyone looked at Qin Keqing.Qin Keqing reached out to ask Liu Xianglian for tea, took a few sips, and said flatly: "I am a pregnant woman, even a virtuous king can't order a pregnant woman to think up her mind." Everyone felt bored.

Liu Xianglian said: "Mr. Zhu, from this point of view, Situ Pan may not kill Guiming."

Zhu Tong said: "If the Supreme Emperor is still there, he will definitely try his best not to kill Guiming, and think of other ways. Feng Ziying and others can think of what you just said, and Situ Pan himself can think of it. But today is different from the past. He must be killed."

Jia Huan asked, "Why?"

Zhu Tong smiled calmly: "Because the kings are in Beijing, and because Situ Pan is already the master. The face of the master is more important than the life of an ordinary subordinate."

Jia Cong said: "Is it possible to have face by killing Guiming? How can it be face to be forced to kill one's own subordinates by a group of idlers?"

Zhu Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "Who told you that Gui Ming is the subordinate of the virtuous king? Gui Ming is an evil monk who kills even babies! Don't you see Cao Cao beheading the king?"

Before the words fell, someone came in and replied: "Masters! A letter was uploaded on the street, and two policemen accidentally let it go. Because Guiming died strangely, there may be something different about the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Don't let anyone disturb his body, and pretend that it has been cremated. In fact, the coffin of Guiming has already been sent back to Tianqi Temple."

Zhu Tong sneered and said, "What did I say?"

Jia Cong was stunned for a moment, then he stood up and said, "Brother Feng must be unhappy at the moment, I'll go and see him."

Liu Xianglian said: "I will go too."

Jia Huan also stood up and asked Jarvis to hold him back: "Let's not go. After Gui Ming died, what's the matter with the three Jiaquan running to Feng Ziying's mansion? Brother Liu should go again later. You have to settle down in the shop, how can you be as impatient as Cong'er and run away when you hear the commotion?"

Everyone agreed, so Jia Cong went out first, got on his horse and left.

When they arrived at Feng's mansion, Feng Ziying was shooting arrows from behind.Jia Cong didn't bother, just stood beside him and watched him quietly.After a long time, Liu Xianglian also came and stood with Jia Cong watching him shoot arrows.Exhausted, Feng Ziying put down her bow and wiped her sweat: "Drink!" The three of them drank together in the garden and sang a little song.At the top of his voice, Jia Cong yelled Chen Shuhua's "Laughing in the Red Dust", another Liu Huan's Hero Song, and finally Cang Hai's Laugh.All three of them were drunk, and Liu Xianglian and Jia Cong were moved to the guest room of Feng's house and snored loudly, until the two families sent people to look for them, and they were transported into a carriage and dragged back.

On the other side, Zhu Tong changed into his clerk's clothes and put on a bamboo hat to go out. Before leaving, he went to Qin Keqing to say something.

Qin Keqing happened to help the girl to go around in the courtyard, and frowned when she saw her, "What are you going to do?"

Zhu Tong clenched his fists and said, "Those provocateurs should go to Tianqi Temple for an autopsy. I want to see how the monk died."

Qin Keqing said: "Put on the clothes you went back to and wear a soft hat."

Zhu Tong was taken aback.

Qin Keqing said: "I know who Sangu Qin is better than you, so I must be suspicious of you. Either you don't go, or if you want to go, go without hiding it, and be careful not to show any flaws on your face."

Zhu Tong hurriedly responded, and ran back to change clothes in a hurry.

When he arrived at the gate of Tianqi Temple, it was indeed full of people making noise.He was just a spectator, huddled in the crowd and poking his head around.Because I couldn't squeeze it in, I simply got into it from the bottom.

I saw Wang Yitie standing at the entrance of the temple, clasping his hands and saying: "Everyone, as the saying goes, there is an injustice and a debt. Even if Guiming had sins in his lifetime, he also paid off with his death. Why disturb the peace of the dead."

Several idlers all waved their fists and said: "Who knows if the dog official made a fake corpse to fool the people?" Everyone responded in unison.Wang Yitie repeatedly saluted and asked them not to mess around, who would listen to him?The booing was louder and louder, and finally someone couldn't wait, pushed Wang Yitie away and rushed in.

After passing the mountain gate, you can see a coffin in the Hall of Heavenly Kings, with more than a dozen monks chanting scriptures and performing rituals beside it.The idlers rushed forward to break through the blocking monks and surrounded the coffin. Someone shouted from behind, "Open the coffin for an autopsy..." The crowd followed in confusion, "Open the coffin for an autopsy..." The leader idler had bright eyes and boldness, and rolled his eyes. Rolling up his sleeves and howling, he stepped forward to lift the lid of the coffin with both hands.The coffin was just a thin plank coffin bought in a hurry, it was so light that the idler opened it with a little effort.Everyone clattered and gathered around to have a look—it was indeed Guiming lying inside, his face was black and blue, and he was still wearing his patched monk robe.The spectators looked as if they had won a lot of money at the gambling table, and howled at the top of their voices, "The evil monk is dead! The evil monk is dead! The wronged soul has revenge!" It was more cheerful than New Year's.

Zhu Tong had been mingling with the crowd all the time pretending to be in the crowd, when he first saw the face of his enemy, a thousand thoughts surged in his heart, thinking of his father's tragic death, he was so tempted to shed tears.After staring blankly for a long time, he lowered his head and closed his eyes for a moment, then turned around and squeezed out from inside.

Just after he left the palace gate, two men who looked like assistants stopped him and asked, "Are you Tong Xiucai?"

Zhu Tong murmured "Not good" in his heart, and he just cupped his hands in a bewildered manner: "It's just a student. Dare I ask you two brothers?"

The two said: "Our master invites scholars." After speaking, they held him on the left and right and walked away.

Zhu Tong hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing! The sky is bright and the sky is bright, are you robbing people!" The idlers were cheering and celebrating around Guiming's coffin, the noise was so loud that his voice was completely covered, and no one heard him.Zhu Tong walked and struggled all the way, but a scholar was not his opponent at all, and was held to his death.

Walking into the front of the Shanmen Temple, a man in his 30s walked over with his hands behind his back. His clothes looked like those of a wealthy family, and the boots under his feet were combat boots. He was tall and hulking, with piercing eyes, and he was obviously a practitioner. son.Zhu Tong's eyes lit up, and he shouted louder.

Sure enough, the man stepped forward to block their way and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Tong shouted: "General, help! These two gangsters want to kidnap Wansheng!"

The man asked the two men, "Who are you waiting for?"

The clerk shouted: "Don't meddle in your own business! This scholar owes our boss a debt, and he has been refusing to pay it for more than half a year! He was finally caught, and we must not let him run away."

Zhu Tong shouted loudly: "I don't know them at all! How could I ever owe their boss a debt! Scholars are hardworking and thrifty, and never borrow money from others! The master said, eat sparsely, drink water, bend your arms and sleep on it, and enjoy yourself Among them..."

The man waved his hand and said, "Don't drop your book bag, I'm bothered."

Zhu Tong immediately shut up.

The man said to the waiter, "Even if there is any financial dispute, you should go to the government to file a lawsuit. How can you forcefully arrest someone in front of the Buddha?"

The man said: "Master, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door by himself, and don't care about the frost on the roof of others, so as not to cause trouble." But he ignored him, and took Zhu Tong to avoid him and walked over.Zhu Tong yelled again.

The man sneered: "I just like to meddle in other people's business?" Before he finished speaking, his strike was like lightning, and only two "Ouch" were heard, and the two guys fell to the ground.

Zhu Tong immediately jumped up behind the man and cupped his hands: "Thank you, General, for saving me! Xiaosheng will definitely repay you for being named on the Gold List in the future."

The man turned his head and glanced at him: "You are young, since you have studied, you will be able to study well, and don't talk about nonsense." After saying this, he looked down at the two guys, and said "disappointment" in his mouth, Turn around and leave.

Zhu Tong quickly stuck to it: "Where is the general going? Thanks to the general's help, how about asking the general to drink later?"

The man waved his hand and said, "A trivial matter is nothing to worry about."

"Although the late students are poorer, there are still two drinks."

The two of them walked away while talking, and suddenly there was a "hoo", a figure flew over from behind, and kicked the back of the man's head with a flying kick.The man was talking to Zhu Tong, and he dodged in the past.I saw a beautiful woman standing behind her, wearing green clothes and wooden hairpins, neat and majestic.

Zhu Tong lost his voice and shouted: "Master Qin!"

The man's eyebrows moved: "Do you know her?"

Zhu Tong hurriedly said: "I came to this temple a few days ago and wished to meet once by chance. This girl is the third aunt of Qin, a tyrant in the west of the city. She is a little widow~~"

The man frowned even more: "The widow has become a tyrant and is still robbing men in the temple."

Qin Sangu clasped her fists and said: "General, the little girl has important matters to find this scholar, and I hope the general will not intervene."

The man sneered, "I want to take care of it?"

Zhu Tong had already hidden behind him, and waved his arms: "The general is a good man!"

Seeing the man's expression, Sangu Qin knew that it would be impossible not to fight today.So he didn't waste any more words, and gave another salute.The man pointed to the side, and Zhu Tong quickly dodged behind the pillar.He just hugged the pillar and turned his head, the two were already fighting together.Hearing the sound of the wind, his eyes were dazzled, and he didn't know who had the upper hand.

This is already the mountain gate, and you can go out of the temple from outside, but Zhu Tong didn't dare to run around, I'm afraid Qin Sangu's subordinates still have others guarding outside, so he hid behind the pillar and shouted vigorously, "The general fought well, the general fought well! "In fact, he couldn't see how they fought at all.

Suddenly someone was singing a little song outside the door, the voice was weird and extremely unpleasant: "I love you, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice..." Zhu Tong couldn't help laughing out loud!Isn't this the song that Jia Cong usually hums carelessly?Immediately guessing that the general was one of his own, he didn't care about face, and while the two were about to hit him, he turned and ran to the next pillar, hugged the pillar and took a second look, the door was very close, Then he ran out.

I saw a short man dressed as a clerk waiting outside the temple leading two horses.Although the guy wore two beards, he could be seen to be a woman from a closer look, but his brows were thick and his eyes were drooping, which made him a little ugly.She softly shouted "Go quickly", and got on the horse first.Zhu Tong hurriedly followed on his horse, and glanced at the woman's hand by the way: her hand was as dark as her face and neck.

The two of them took a few steps to flatter their horses, and four or five people had already surrounded them from all sides.The woman jumped up from the horse, and heard "dongdong" several times, before Zhu Tong could see what was going on, those people were already lying on the ground.The woman jumped back on the horse and yelled "go quickly" in a low voice. She galloped forward, and Zhu Tong hurriedly urged the horse to follow.

After running for a long distance, the woman's horse gradually slowed down, Zhu Tong also took a breath, looked back to see that there were no pursuers, and thankfully said, "I got away!" Then he immediately asked, "Thank you, big sister, for saving me. The general in the back doesn't know what to do."

The woman said: "With Sangu Qin's ability, I can't keep him." Zhu Tong wanted to ask more questions, but the woman said, "Sangu Qin has excellent eyesight. You are a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken. She I've noticed it a long time ago, so I won't be too defensive. We part ways at the fork in the road ahead, and you go back to your shop." Without waiting for Zhu Tong's answer, he hit the horse first.Zhu Tong hurriedly followed behind, and at the fork in the road, the woman really went to another road, Zhu Tong didn't dare to ask, and hurried back along the original road.

Back at Liu's Timber Shop, Qin Keqing saw it and hurriedly asked, "Did something happen?"

Zhu Tong heaved a sigh of relief, stroked his chest and drank a cup of tea. General Fang passed by the temple and said, "I don't know how that general is."

Qin Keqing smiled and said: "Since the girl said that he is capable, it's okay to think about it."

Zhu Tong asked: "Who are the two of them? What a great skill."

Qin Keqing said: "Tomorrow, you can go to Lixiangyuan and thank you for going." Then she waved her hand, "Forget it, you'd better stay at home honestly." Zhu Tong curled his lips.

It turned out that Zhu Tong left for a while today, Qin Keqing thought, that Guiming was his father-killing enemy, and he tracked down this person for several years, and now it was his own design to kill him, and he wanted to return to Guiming It would be extremely difficult to not reveal any flaws in front of the coffin, and it would probably be impossible to hide it from Qin Sangu's eyes.Liu Xianglian went to comfort Feng Ziying; knowing that there were many young men with high martial arts skills in Lixiangyuan, she ordered someone to tell Jia's house.

Jia Huan stomped her feet again and again after hearing this: "No one here is a match for Sangu and Sister. She knows how much Brother Yao'er can do with her."

Qi. Dian said sideways: "This is the one that Third Master Cong wants to subdue?"

"Isn't it?"

Started up and said: "Third Aunt Qin is highly skilled in martial arts, and ordinary people are no match for her. It's just that she is also a bit arrogant, and she won't bring many people to deal with a mere scholar. If you go to find a master, you should be able to kill her by surprise."

Jia Huan worried: "Where can I find a master? Mr. Gong's injury is not fully healed yet, and she has seen the rest who are capable even if she doesn't know them."

Qi Dian smiled: "There is a master in front of her who she doesn't recognize."

"Who?"

"Your fifth uncle."

Jia Huan uttered an "Aww" and said, "Go, go!" He immediately went out to find someone.

Zhu Tong was dumbfounded after hearing this: "No way! That general is the fifth master of the Rongguo Mansion? The one raised by the Dongping Palace? It's too far behind their two masters!" Tsk-tsk twice, "This one He is worthy of being the son of Duke Rong."
