The Red Mansions

Chapter 209 It's time to eat, it's time to listen to the theater

Ningguo Mansion

About half an hour later, the killing sounds gradually subsided, and a bloody smell rose from the courtyard, and all the members of the Sanhe Gang who entered the courtyard fell into a pool of blood.

And Li Jinzhu was also half-kneeling on the ground, his plump body was covered in blood, with a few steel knives on his neck, looking fiercely at the young man not far away, without saying a word.

Fell, he was cheated by the second child!

Those who go to Te Niang take advantage of the big banquet and come to tell the truth!
In these years, he has been in and out of some high-ranking officials' houses, which made him feel so ecstatic. He really thought he was on an equal footing with these court eagles and dogs!

Jia Heng glanced at Li Jinzhu coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Tie him up first! He will be treated by the doctor, and he will be interrogated in court!"

For this head of Li, he still has to be punished in the end, and he cannot escape Caishikou.

Gein, these treacherous and evil people spread their crimes widely in Shenjing, first to comfort the people who were oppressed by them, and second, to show that the country's laws are strict.

After hearing the order, a few soldiers of the Beijing camp searched for ropes to bind Li Jinzhu, but they did not struggle violently. Instead, they raised their heads and laughed loudly, with a bit of heroism and desolation in their laughter.

Thinking of Li Jinzhu's life as a hero, he was plotted against by such yellow-mouthed children!

Jia Heng frowned, glanced at Li Jinzhu, and shouted: "Come on, shut his mouth!"

Li Jinzhu: "..."

The laughter almost came to an abrupt end, and the head of the Sanhe Gang showed instant confusion in his tiger eyes under his broken eyebrows.

Immediately, the two soldiers found a ball of rags and stuffed them into Li Jinzhu's open mouth. This action immediately caused Li Jinzhu's anger and frenzied struggle, but they were firmly held down.

Jia Heng also didn't look at Li Jinzhu, and then looked at Cai Quan and Shen Yan, who were covered in blood, with drips and drops of blood on their faces, and were about to order to clean up their hands.

At this moment, three people rushed in from the outside. The leader was Gu Yunjin, a thousand households from Jinyi Mansion, followed by two Qianhus from Jinyi Mansion.

Gu Yunjin's face was full of evil spirits, he strode forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Jia, the 20 members of the Sanhe Gang outside, from Huang Zhuo down, were all killed on the spot by my captain of the Jinyi Mansion!"

Jia Heng's gaze paused on Gu Yunjin's bloody face, nodded, and said, "Gu Qianhu has worked hard, where's Deputy Qu Qianhu?"

Qu Lang's side is the key. From what Gu Yunjin said, there are only 20 people outside, so the people led by Pan Jian, the second leader of the Sanhe Gang, presumably have handed over the people under Qu Lang.

Gu Yunjin said: "Deputy Qu Qianhu has found the second head of the Sanhe Gang, so it should be over by now."

Because Qu Lang and Zhao Yi, who came to help from Nanzhen Fusi, had been biting Pan Jian's Yutang spy, but the fight became more silent.

Jia Heng nodded, and was about to say something.

But at this time, another group of people from Jinyi's mansion in casual clothes came from outside, and they ran over quickly, the leader of them was recognized, but it was one of Qu Lang's subordinates named Zhang, who cupped his hands and said, "Jia My lord, Deputy Qu Qianhu has led people to chase and kill Pan Jian, the second head of the family, and let the humble official come over to pass on the news that the second master Lian of your mansion has been rescued safely, and now he is in a carriage outside, just..."

Jia Heng frowned and asked, "Just what? Are you okay?"

"My lord, this... person is fine, but... why don't you invite a doctor first?" The surnamed Shibaihu had a strange face and said.

Thinking back to the scene I saw when I went to Jinmei Building, the second master Lian was hung upside down on the bed by the red rope. When he was rescued, he was still naked and was under the shock.

Jia Heng knew something was going on inside, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said, "I'll call two young men to carry it through the west corner gate."

As he said that, he turned his head and gave orders to Jiao Da who came from a remote place. This old man was quite bold. He was just now at the gate of Yi with two servants and guarded with a knife. He was eager to try and respond. .

"Order someone to inform Sister-in-law Feng in the back hall, and tell her that Second Master Lian has been rescued, and ask her to go to the West Corner Gate to pick her up, and then send someone to pass a message to the old lady in the backyard. You should listen to the play."

Jiao Da responded and ordered a servant to go.

Shen Yan frowned and said, "My lord, what should we do now?"

Jia Heng looked at Shen Yan and the small school of Wucheng Bingmasi, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Shen, wait here for the people from Wucheng Bingmasi, and then, the people who accompanied Jinyi Mansion blocked Ning Rong street!"

Turning his head to look at Jiao Da again, he said, "Young man, carry these corpses inside and out to the carriage of the Sanhe Gang outside, and then clean the blood from the front and back!"

Then he looked at Gu Yunjin who was on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Gu Qianhu, order Jinyi Mansion to start collecting nets everywhere! First arrest the boss! This officer will immediately go to the Beijing camp to dispatch troops!"

At present, the Jinyi Mansion has basically managed to deploy and control people above the deputy helmsman. With the power of the Jin Yi Mansion, it is almost a normal thing to collect the net.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, my lord."

As he said that, he ran out of the mansion in a hurry to pass on the news.

Jia Heng turned to look at Dong Qian, and said, "Cousin, you stay here with someone, and the people from Jinyi Mansion watch out for criminals and help appease the guests."

Dong Qian nodded emphatically, and responded.

After Jia Heng finished the arrangement, he looked at Cai Quan and said, "Brother Cai, the two of us are going to the Beijing camp to transfer troops!"

The reason why the enemy was expected to be lenient before, Gein, is that once the core backbone of the Sanhe gang will link up with their subordinates to help the masses to carry out strikes and strikes, the brilliance of this errand will be somewhat dim.

The second is that the Three Rivers Gang will slip through the net, causing endless harm.

That's why he hoped to formulate a seamless plan, and finally take over Dongcheng with the Jingying, and wipe out all these people, big and small, bosses and disciples, all in one go!
In fact, with the power of the Jinyi Mansion, if it was just to arrest big and small leaders, there would be no need for the Beijing Camp, but the deployment of the Beijing Camp itself was a comprehensive measure just in case.

Of course, there is also an ulterior motive, which is to second the soldiers of the Beijing camp to get involved in military power.

Otherwise, the Tianzi Sword can completely mobilize Jinyi Mansion's Tiqi power. If Jin Yi Mansion is fully mobilized, it will really wipe out the east city...

Thinking about it now, these thoughts are not wrong.

Just don't overestimate the organizational capabilities of the Three Rivers Gang.

Even if it is the organization of later generations, how long will it take to prepare for a strike?
Even if the Sanhe Gang already has the embryonic form of the Cao Gang Guild, but if they want to do this, it may be possible when the backbone of the organization is complete.

As long as the backbone of the organization is destroyed in sevens and eights, this kind of thing will not happen.

As for the fish that slipped through the net, it can only be said to be perfect.

"We still can't pursue perfection too much."

Jia Heng also had some reflections in his heart.

If you don't pursue perfection too much, you can actually do it last night, um, but... what about Jia Lian?
Jia Heng simply didn't think too much, took Cai Quan, got on his horse, and went straight to the Beijing camp.

And as time passed, and in the evening, the Jinyi Mansion Tiqi in Shenjing City dispatched, and cooperated with the Jinyi Mansion's detectives to arrest the leaders of the Sanhe Gang, including the hall masters, deputy hall masters, rudder masters, and deputy rudder masters.

……

……

Huifang Garden

The shouts of killing from the front yard gradually became louder as time passed, and there was a faint sound of killing leaping over the high wall and floating into the backyard, causing Jiamu and the others to look at each other in horror.

Just hearing the killing sound, one can feel a chill. It can be said that this is the first time that young girls like Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Daiyu have heard the killing sound when they grow up so old.

Jia Amnesty's face was gloomy at the moment, and he was both startled and terrified.

Mrs. Xing's face was pale, her voice was trembling, and she said: "Old lady, listen to the shouts of killing, you said that if Brother Heng can't stop it, there are so many people in our two houses..."

As soon as this remark came out, most of the female relatives except Qin Keqing, Third Sister You, Tanchun, and Daiyu trembled and turned pale, like Mrs. Wang raised the Buddha beads in her hand, and quickly recited the Buddha's name in a self-conscious manner. The "Ping An Sutra" is the "Buddha's Infinite Life Sutra".

Mrs. Wang read the Buddhist scriptures, and all kinds of thoughts came to her mind, "The fortune teller said that she will live to be more than 100 years old, and she will be fine."

"There is also Baoyu, thanks to what Uncle Heng said to fool him last night, the old lady asked Baoyu to write carefully this morning, so that he does not have to come to the East Mansion, otherwise..."

When Jia She heard this, he sneered and said angrily, "What else can I do, I just want to be buried with him!"

"Shut up!" On the other side, hearing Mrs. Xing and Jia She's horrifying words, Jia's mother's complexion changed suddenly, she yelled angrily, looked at Mrs. Xing, and cursed: "Who made you talkative, don't talk?" , no one will sell you as a dumb!"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xing's face turned pale, and she felt her face was swept away and she felt ashamed.

Although she was called a slut by the old lady before, but it was in front of all the men in the clan, and this time in front of the women in the back house, she really has no face!
In fact, Mother Jia's scolding is also assigned to whom. For example, in the original book, she called Aunt Zhao a "little whore". This is a concubine who came out of her own room.

Jia's mother also scolded Mrs. Wang, "So you are all coaxing me. You are filial outside, and you plan secretly...get rid of him so that you can play with me."

There are no dirty words in these words, because Mrs. Wang is from a famous family, but calling Mrs. Xing is almost between Aunt Zhao and Mrs. Wang.

Mother Jia sighed after she finished cursing, and looked forward, with a worried look on her face.

Such shouts of killing only sounded in the city of Shenjing more than ten years ago, and such a thrilling scene is now a bit frightening.

At this moment, the mandarin duck had already been stopped back by the boy guarding the backyard, forced himself a smile, and comforted him: "Old lady, you know that Uncle Heng did something bad one day, he is a lucky one, no one can hurt him." Not his."

When Jia Mu heard the words, her worried face faded a little, and she said with a smile: "Yuanyang is right. Last time, the whole family said that he went to Cuihua Mountain and couldn't come back. But he didn't come back wholeheartedly. He was conferred a title because of meritorious deeds? He is obviously a lucky one, how can some of the little thieves out there harm him?"

When everyone heard the words, their complexions softened a little, and they also said auspicious words at the side, as if such words could comfort people.

Because Sister Feng is not here, there is one less supporter below, so Mother Jia doesn't know if she thinks it is a little less interesting, or she is emboldened by herself, diverting her ability to associate, and said: "Speaking of it, when the Duke sent troops, it was better than this." There are all dangers, I am worried, but every time, I come back safely, not to mention that my Jia family has two families, the only one in the whole Han Dynasty, and now, there is brother Heng in the family Son, it can be seen that our Jia family is shining with the stars of martial arts."

Several people on the side nodded and said yes.

In the starry eyes under Dai Yu's smoky eyebrows, the watery gaze fluctuated, she looked at Tan Chun, and said softly, "Third sister?"

Tanchun turned his face and said softly, "Sister Lin, what's wrong?"

Just looking at Daiyu's starry eyes full of mist and rain, his heart moved, and he stretched out his hand to take Daiyu's hand, but he felt a certain emotion of the girl, and said softly: "Sister Lin, brother Heng will be fine, we Nothing will happen."

Daiyu nodded and said softly, "I don't think anything will happen to someone like Brother Heng."

Second Sister You, who was sitting quietly at the side, raised her beautiful face, her slightly glamorous eyebrows and eyes were filled with sadness, and said softly to Third Sister You, "Sister You, are you here?" What are you thinking?"

Third Sister You looked into the distance and said, "I'm thinking why I'm not a man, so I go ahead and kill the enemy with a knife."

If she is a man, no matter whether she is studying for the imperial examination, or practicing martial arts and joining the army, she must make a career out of it!

Second Sister You's crystal-clear and beautiful face paused, took Third Sister You's hand, and said softly: "Sister..."

You Shi glanced at the two sisters and sighed softly.

Her two younger sisters are both past the age of marriage, but there are no good people to marry them, and there is an old woman with a bad reputation to account for half of the reason.

In the past few days, when she went back, she was often said ready-made words.

On this side, seeing everyone frowning, Qin Keqing frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and there was anxiety hidden in her beautiful eyes, but when she saw this situation, her heart moved, and there was a bit of tenderness on that lotus jade face, and said softly Said: "Old lady, it's been a while, everyone hasn't eaten yet, they are all hungry, why don't we have a banquet first? The troupe is right below, how about ordering a discounted play?"

Jia Mu, Li Wan, and Mrs. Wang: "..."

When Third Sister You heard the words, she cast her glistening eyes on the beauty beside her for an instant.

However, after Qin Keqing said this, the original dignified atmosphere was really relieved.

Brother Heng's daughter-in-law are not afraid, what are they afraid of, why are they underestimated for no reason?
Jia Mu nodded and said, "Brother Heng's daughter-in-law is right, don't starve to death."

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that they were a little hungry.

Suddenly Tanchun said: "Old lady, listen to the killing sound, is it gone?"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she was taken aback, and quickly looked at the mandarin duck beside her, and said, "I'm a little hard-eared, mandarin duck, listen to me?"

Yuanyang just listened attentively and said with a smile, "It's gone."

Jia Amnesty's face was ashen, with fear in his eyes, he said: "Don't think that the front has been breached by the gangsters, that's why..."

Everyone: "???"

"If the front can't be stopped, the thieves would have rushed to the backyard just now!" Tan Chun couldn't help it, his face was covered with frost, and he said angrily.

When everyone heard the words, they all felt that the words were reasonable, but no one challenged Tanchun's words to the elders in a soft and kind manner.

Even Mrs. Wang stopped chanting and nodded.

As for the other female relatives, it goes without saying.

It can be said that what Jia Heng said earlier, asking Jia Amnesty to be a monster, to the extent that people hate ghosts, already has that kind of posture.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Three girls are right, I guess it's all right now."

But just at this time, I saw a woman running from the front yard to hold the building, and said with a smile on her face: "Old lady, Second Mistress Lian is here, let me pass on the words of Uncle Heng first, and Uncle Heng said, it's time for dinner. , you should listen to the opera!"

Huifangyuan's ups and downs, all of a sudden, fell back into her stomach.

"Ancestor bless you!" Mother Jia said, with a long sigh of relief, her old face almost crumpled with laughter.

Everyone was also relieved, chanting Buddha's name and saying auspicious words, even Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there is not even a trace of bloody smell, there is still a bit of feeling about the danger and tension.

When Third Sister You heard the words, Ruifeng glanced at Qin Keqing, but remembered the comforting words of this beautiful woman just now, and they were just like that Uncle Heng. Maybe this is a couple with a good heart?
"Where's Brother Heng?" Mother Jia asked anxiously.

One after another, all eyes were cast on the woman.
