There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

It is said that the prince rebelled, but in fact it was the rebellion of the princes, but Shi Zhongzhu didn't know it at this time.

Shi Zhongzhu didn't receive the news beforehand, but felt that the situation in the capital was getting more and more tense, so he finally had a rest for a day, and he didn't go out for a walk. He just stayed at home to enjoy the coolness and enjoy the lotus. When they stormed the mansion, the two brothers seemed so flustered.

Dongshi, where Bowlinghou's Mansion is located, is the most prosperous area in the entire capital except for the imperial city on the central axis. Most of the relatives of important ministers, nobles and clans are in Dongshi. The rebels probably want to take two people as hostages.The Bowling Hou Mansion started as a military general, the nurses are all veterans, and the servants are also trained. A small group of rebellious soldiers were quickly repelled.After waiting in the middle of the night, there was no sound of killing. Shi Zhongzhu always felt that it was too easy for the rebels to retreat. He was afraid of any accidents, and he was really worried about the third uncle's family. Therefore, he discussed with Shi Bosong and sent a small team of guards to follow him to the third uncle's house. look.

Unable to persuade Shi Bosong, he dispatched the most capable guards to him, together with the twelve guards that Shi Ding had left beside him, Shi Zhongzhu came to the Zhongjing Hou Mansion under the protection of a 20-member team.Shi Zhongzhu thought, the third uncle was in charge of the imperial army, and there was a military disaster in the capital. He was bound by the responsibility, and he would definitely put down the chaos, but he didn't know if he knew the news in advance. How would the historians be safest?How is the situation now?It was up to Shi Nai to make up his mind.

When Shi Bosong arrived at Zhongjinghou's Mansion, he saw that the gate was closed tightly, and there were traces of fighting and fighting on the wall and the Yimen Gate. There was no one there. Shi Zhongzhu personally stepped forward to knock on the door, and with a rhythmic signal of "Tuk Tuk Tuk", the door was quickly opened. Someone answered; "Who?"

"Shi Zhongzhu, Shi Yaoyun."

"What evidence?"

"Afang's three hundred Jinling history, the emperor is loyal to the king."

After matching the signal, the small door was carefully opened a crack. The chief steward of the Zhongjinghou Mansion stretched out half his head, and after seeing that it was indeed Shi Zhongzhu, there was a sound of the iron chain being undone. , I also need to add an iron chain, just because I am afraid that in this situation, someone will deceive the door and try to kill someone to force in. There is a thick iron chain, even if they want to force in, there is no way.

"Master Zhu, there is a lot of chaos outside, why are you here?"

"Butler, where's the third aunt?" Shi Zhongzhu didn't care about the nonsense, and came straight to the point.

"Madam is in the main hall with the four little masters!"

"Lead the way!" Shi Zhongzhu followed the butler to the main hall, watching the torches shining brightly along the way, patrolling guards one after another, tall trees, corners, rockery and other blind spots, there are also special guards patrolling, no one can stay still He barged in sensually.

Shi Zhongzhu took three steps at a time and ran into the hall. The third aunt stood up nervously. Shi Zhongzhu ran over to hold the third aunt's hand and said, "Third aunt! Is there any injury? How are you?"

"Brother Zhu, why are you here? Let the third aunt see, why are you here!" The third aunt Li kept repeating "Why are you here?" The situation outside was chaotic, Shi Zhongzhu ran out at a young age, it was too dangerous .

"Third Aunt, Third Aunt, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all, I don't feel at ease at home, my third uncle is bound to go out under the command of the imperial army, my brother is still young, let me see if I can help Yes, don't worry." Shi Zhongzhu calmed down with a gentle tone, looked around, didn't the big housekeeper say that some younger brothers and sisters were also in the hall, and hurriedly asked: "Where are the younger brothers and sisters?".

The third aunt Li is also married to a military general and important minister for many years. She quickly stabilized her mood and said clearly: "The family is all good. Brother Xian, Brother Qi, Sister Xue, and Sister Xia have all arranged reliable People protected her, and the servants and servants in the nursing home did not lose their lives, and everything is fine."

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she pulled Shi Zhongzhu to the chair beside her and sat down. At this time, there were only two confidantes and nuns left in the hall. All the children changed into coarse servant clothes and hid in the servant's room, and the servants protecting the lord are also old servants, if the situation is not good, I will drag them in the front hall and let the children go first."

"Has it reached this point?" Shi Zhongzhu asked in surprise, has it reached the point of fleeing now?

"Just in case, the master is in charge of the imperial army. What's the difference between having a family and having your head on your waist?" Shi Nai cried. Since Shi Nai became the commander of the imperial army, the pressure on her to manage the inner courtyard has increased. The bigger it gets, the more and more people send women to Shi Nai, and spies appear among the servants from time to time. I just hope that after this big trouble, they will have a peaceful life in the future.

"Did third uncle tell you anything when he left?"

"Master hasn't returned home for two days. When he left the day before yesterday, it was the same as before. He only told me to take care of the children and keep an eye on the house. At that time, I didn't care. I think the master was reminding me that there was going to be a military disaster." Mrs. Li regretted it, why didn't she figure it out at the time.

"Third Aunt, you said that the military disaster was too serious. I looked carefully on the way here, and only a small group of rebels were attacking the East Market. There were no fires or shouts of killing in the other three cities, and there was not much movement in the palace. It seems that there are not as many troops as we thought. Don't be afraid, Third Aunt, the defense of the mansion has been arranged?" Shi Zhongzhu thinks that the situation is not the worst yet, but he doesn't know which prince raised the troops.

"When the master left, he handed over the guards around him to me and said that everything would be arranged by him and the butler. There were also rebels who wanted to attack the Hou's mansion just now, but they have already repelled them." Mrs. Li explained.

"Okay, it's good if you fight back. Third aunt, you can wait for the news first. Third uncle is sure to be fine. I will go to inspect the defense first, and then go back to the Bowling House. Take care."

Li Shi is not that kind of weak and obsessive woman, so she let go of Shi Zhongzhu and said a few words, then watched him go out.

Shi Zhongzhu looked around, and naturally he couldn't see any loopholes based on his military accomplishment. The reason why he came around was to use his status as master to stabilize the people below.

After turning around, Shi Zhongzhu led a guard of 20 people out of the gate of Zhongjinghou Mansion. After hesitating at the gate, Shi Zhongzhu decided to visit Wei Mansion.

Before he got close to Wei's mansion, he heard shouts of killing and the sound of weapons being handed over. Shi Zhongzhu signaled the guards to pay attention to concealment.He poked his head out from the corner of the wall and looked intently. There was a group of people attacking the Wei residence. They were wearing the clothes of the Jingxi camp. The Wei family members were already dead, and there were corpses on the wall.

Shi Zhongzhu saw that there were only about 20 people in this wave, and now his back was turned to them to concentrate on fighting the people of the Wei Mansion. Shi Zhongzhu motioned his 15 people to come over, and ordered five people with bows and arrows to attack from a distance, and the remaining [-] people divided into three with him. A group fought at close quarters together, and when they got closer, the archer released the arrow. After speaking, he drew out the big knife he carried with him, and prepared to fight.

The 15 people on Shi Zhongzhu's side were killed from the two wings, just to leave the middle for the archers to attack. When they ran about ten steps away from the people in the western Jing camp, they discovered that Shi Zhongzhu accelerated, Holding the knife in both hands, he mobilized all his strength and slashed at the soldier closest to him. A stream of blood splattered on his face, warm and bloody. Shi Zhongzhu didn't have time to wipe it off, and the big knife faced the next one.

Shi Zhongzhu and the rest of the guards cooperated tacitly, and with long-range assists, they quickly cleared the remnant soldiers outside the Wei Mansion. The gate of the Wei Mansion had been smashed by the remnant soldiers. Also joined Shi Zhongzhu's side.

"Master Biao." A middle-aged man with blood spots all over his right hand came over to greet him. Shi Zhongzhu looked familiar and knew that he was someone close to Uncle Wei Yan.

"Thank you, Master Biao, for your help!" The middle-aged man knelt down in front of Shi Zhongzhu with the rest of the dozen or so people.

"Get up, get up, the situation is critical now, don't talk about such hypocrisy, maybe there will be rebels coming, one of you will take me to see my uncle, and the rest will gather up the corpses and hold up the gate to cover it. I will leave ten Someone will help you." Shi Zhongzhu quickly made up his mind.

The middle-aged man got up and assigned a young servant to lead the way for Shi Zhongzhu. Shi Zhongzhu left the five archers and the five people who retained more energy during the charge, and followed the leader into the courtyard.

The young servant directly led Shi Zhongzhu to the main courtyard. There was a woman at the gate of the main courtyard. The servant explained the situation to the woman.Shi Zhongzhu knew the rules of their family, so he only brought four personal guards, and the others stayed outside the house.

After entering the room, he found that his uncle Wei Yan was injured and lying on the bed, Shi Zhongzhu hurriedly asked: "Uncle, what's wrong, where is the injury?"

Wei Yan's face was pale, and cold sweat the size of beans covered his forehead. Wei Shishi wiped his sweat beside him. Seeing that Wei Yan was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, he cried and said, "There are soldiers coming outside, the master went out to check. In the end, I was injured by those lowly servants."

"Where is the injury? What kind of weapon was it? Is it serious?"

"Knife, the standard knife of Jingxi Daying." Wei Yan said in a hoarse voice with a sigh of relief.

"The standard knives of Jingxi Daying have a wide blade, and there are blood grooves on the back of the knife. People who are hit by the knife tend to lose a lot of blood. What does the doctor invited by my uncle say?"

"The doctor at home is also what you say, but there is no good medicine to stop bleeding at home..." Wei Shishi said, the world has been at peace for a long time, and even a family with a rich collection like the Wei family only has some daily medicines, precious ginseng, They have Cordyceps, but they don't have the hemostatic medicine.

Shi Zhongzhu took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Wei Shishi, "Auntie, this is the Shijia's golden sore medicine. You know it has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding."

This is what Wei Shishi wanted. He took it, lifted the quilt, and gave Wei Yan medicine.Wei Yan, however, refused to be disrespectful in public, Shi Zhongzhu persuaded, "Uncle, please do it urgently."

While Wei Shishi was applying medicine to Wei Yan, Shi Zhongzhu asked about the situation: "Uncle, I think the guards in the house are not strong enough. When I came, the rebels and generals were almost coming in."

"Those people who wear the clothes of the Beijing West Camp, but claim to be General Zhou, want to teach me a lesson for the rebellious officials and thieves who support the crown prince. Hmph! The crown prince is the orthodox, what general Zhou and the third prince, they are the ones. Rebellious officials and thieves!"

"Master!" "Uncle, be careful!"

When Wei Yan got agitated, the wound cracked even more, and the blood drenched the medicine powder. "Uncle, don't get excited. Evil people will be rewarded with evil. Take care of your health."

Shi Zhongzhu saw that Wei Yan was really a simple literati, and he was very disappointed that the guards in the house were not strict.When he read about the Wang Xie family in the history books, how much he admired Xie An, who is both civil and military, and the other descendants of the family.

Shi Zhongzhu was very disappointed, just like "Brother Haonan" who was regarded as an idol when he was a child, only to realize that they are just a gangster who destroys social harmony and stability when he grows up.

Now is not the time to think about these things, Shi Zhongzhu asked the big steward of the Wei Mansion to gather the guards and the strong servants and arrange patrols for them. The nanny in charge came, how could he, a steward of the outer courtyard, intervene in the affairs of the inner courtyard.

"Let me do it." When Shi Zhongzhu was in a dilemma, a female voice interjected.

When Shi Zhongzhu turned his head, he saw a woman in a goose-yellow dress, wearing a gauze hat, who looked about [-] years old, and Wei Zhenniang was the only one who met these conditions in the Wei residence.

"Cousin, can you see me?" Wei Zhenniang didn't make unnecessary tweaks, and after seeing each other's courtesy, she took the matter over.

"Cousin is smart, there is nothing she can do. If there is any difficulty, go and ask aunt to make the decision." Shi Zhongzhu quickly handed over the matter of the maid patrolling the inner courtyard to him, arranged for the guards in the outer courtyard, and quickly returned to the Baoling waiting mansion. After being out for so long, I don't know what happened to the eldest brother's family.
