There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Shi Zhongzhu's new mansion in Yunnan was not long after he moved in. It was originally a wealthy businessman's house, and it was magnificently built. Shi Zhongzhu didn't plan to take any rest. He didn't pay much attention to the place where he stayed temporarily.

Now Chiji took over Nanshan's management of the house and acted as a housekeeper. When he reported that he wanted to demolish the nearby houses, Shi Zhongzhu did not express any objection, but only told him to respect the wishes of the local people and not to embarrass them.

Shi Zhongzhu thought too much, knowing that the new governor of Yunnan and Guizhou wanted to buy a house, and the price was high, and the nearby civilians happily sold the house, and the compensation was enough for them to buy a better new house.

Chiji is presiding over the demolition of the house, no matter what time the house is being pushed, there is a lot of movement. Wei Zhenniang is pregnant and can't stand the noise, so she moved to the center of the mansion, away from the noise source.

When Mu Kao led the family soldiers to attack, it was the early morning, when Yin time and Mao time alternated. The night was about to pass, the sun was about to rise, and the darkness before dawn was the time when people were most tired and relaxed.They were locals, and they had better information. They got the map of the mansion from the rich businessman, walked around the house that was being demolished, and just walked around the wall of the backyard.When the wealthy businessman was repairing the garden, he was arty and built a back garden with flowers and trees everywhere. Mu Kao and his party climbed into the yard from the trees in the back yard. There were many flowers and trees in the back yard, just enough to cover them.

When Mukao went out, Asheng and Azhai told him that the purpose of coming this time was to steal some money and kill a few guards to stand up to him. Don't kill Shi Zhongzhu himself and her wife. I heard that Shi Zhongzhu The wife is pregnant, and A Sheng and A Zhai suggested that it is best to scare her into a miscarriage. In this way, they are given a warning without hurting their muscles and bones. Mu Kao agreed.

So their team changed into their night clothes, took off all the things that could show their identity, and quietly went to the main courtyard of the inner courtyard. Mu Kao thought, the same is true for Han people and Naxi people. Main courtyard, to show identity.

Shi Zhongzhu, housekeeper Chi Ji, and guard battalion commander Guo Li didn't expect these people to be so bold. In addition, they had just arrived and were resting. They were demolishing houses during the day, and there was too much movement. At this time, everyone was very tired. Note that the 20-member team led by Mu Kao entered the inner courtyard just like that.

At the entrance of the main courtyard, Mu Kao motioned for the door to be opened, and a person behind him quietly pushed the door open without making a sound. The scimitar in his hand was out of its sheath, reflecting the moonlight, and a group of people walked in tiptoe.

Mu Kao found that the opportunity is rare, and there are basically no guards here. If Shi Zhongzhu and his wife can be killed, the policy of reforming the natives will not be presided over, and it will naturally disappear. It's just too timid, after all, it's a woman.

Qiu Ju, who was sleeping on the bed, was Wei Zhenniang's most valued person. At that time, she had planned to find a good marriage for her, but Qiu Ju insisted on serving Wei Zhenniang by her side, and she became a nanny herself.She was born as a servant girl, so she went to bed at night and so on. She had to be vigilant when she wanted to serve her master.Even though she no longer needs to do things like going to the night, the habits she has developed over the years have not changed.

The sound of the machete being unsheathed woke her up, and Qiu Ju squinted to see the reflective blade.I slept in Miss's bed, these people came for Miss!Qiu Ju reacted in an instant.She didn't scream either, but quietly stuffed the soft pillow that Wei Zhenniang used to cushion her waist into her clothes. It was night, and the lights were not on. If you don't pay attention, you can't tell the difference.

Qiu Ju didn't dare to shout because her master wasn't there, and there were not enough guards in the inner courtyard tonight, so she yelled, and when the guards arrived, the culprit would have already run away.Qiu Ju fixed the soft pillow on her stomach, and when those people were about to go around the bead curtain, she flung the quilt out suddenly to block her sight, and turned out of the window from the dressing table, shouting loudly while turning over: " There are assassins, there are assassins, there are assassins!"

The shrill female voice pierced the calm of the night. Mu Kao's reaction was not slow. He immediately realized that he had been spotted. He blocked the quilt thrown by Qiu Ju with a knife, and ran to the window in two steps, facing Qiu Ju's back cut off.

Qiu Ju was stabbed in the back, but still jumped out of the window, screaming all the way, dragging her bloody body, and ran towards the guard camp.

Because there was no light, Mu Kao and the others could only vaguely see the woman running ahead with a bulging belly, thinking it was Wei Zhenniang herself, they chased after her all the way, trying to take the opportunity to hack her to death.

Mu Kao rushed to the front, a big man who ran faster than a woman, even though Qiu Ju exploded with far more strength than usual before dying, he was still caught up, Mu Kao swung his machete twice, Qiu Ju fell on the ground On the ground, the mouth that has been insisting on shouting for warning can only make a sound of "hehe".

Mu Kao didn't move forward, and greeted the people behind him: "I've been spotted, retreat quickly, from the backyard."

The 20 people, including Lian Mukao, immediately turned around and wanted to escape from the backyard. Taking a step back, they couldn’t escape. When they went outside to demolish the house, there was at least something to block them. They were not as passive as they were in other people’s houses. The ten-man team they left in the backyard came to meet them.

Qiu Ju ran to the guard camp. The people in the guard camp were veterans who had experienced many battles. Tonight, Guo Li was not on duty and was resting in the camp of the guard camp. Hearing Qiu Ju's first warning, he sent the deputy The commander woke up and quickly made a judgment: "I'm going to chase people, you take them to the backyard wall."

They were heavily guarded in front, and Guo Li knew that if a thief could bypass them, they could only do so from the backyard.As for Shi Zhongzhu and Wei Zhenniang, there are elites from the guard battalion and eight horses, so they are safe and sound.

The deputy commander didn't talk nonsense, picked up the guy, and told people to go through the small door on their side to the courtyard wall outside the backyard. When Guo Li led the people to chase them out, he saw a figure being chopped down from a distance. They also quickly withdrew.Guo Li ran forward, and the torch turned on Qiu Ju. Guo Li ordered people to take care of him, but he kept chasing the thief.

The guard battalion caught up with these people by the courtyard wall, and the two sides soon fought together. Guo Li was old and usually served as the instructor, and let him be the commander of the guard battalion. What Shi Zhongzhu liked was his actual combat skills. experience and level of teaching.Guo Li was self-aware, so he didn't run up to fight, he just skimmed by the side, and with good hands, he naturally went up to fight.

Seeing that the boys under him couldn't hold on, Guo Li also joined the battle circle. They don't want to subdue the enemy now, a large number of backup is coming, they just need to hold them back and salute.

Mu Kao is obviously not an idiot, he knows that he can't make a quick decision, it doesn't matter if he dies, and it will hurt Mu's house even more, so he pushes one of his own people as a shield, and slashes Guo Li, who is obviously the leader, with a knife, and jumps onto the wall with a tree .

Jumping to the side of the pitch-black courtyard wall, Mu Kao who finally escaped said, "Hurry up."

The one who answered him was a steel knife around his neck, and the other party slowly lit a torch, only then did Mu Kao realize that the ten people he had brought to support him were already lying in a pool of blood, holding him with a knife, and chasing others wear the same clothes.

Mu Kao was held by the knife, and he slammed into the knife violently. The purpose of suicide was obvious.The deputy commander didn't like this daring thief, put away the knife, checked Mu Kao's wound, it wasn't fatal, and didn't wrap him up, he took off his wrist and ankle joints twice, and his jaw was also removed up.He signaled the two team members to drag him away. This person is clearly the leader, so he should report it to his master.

Those who stayed in the inner courtyard saw their master leaving, and most of their hearts were relieved. Now they are fighting the enemy in front of them, and they will earn money by killing one more. Their fighting spirit is high for a while.It's a pity that in the face of the constant rush of aid, these people couldn't hold back and were killed directly.

When Shi Zhongzhu first arrived in Guizhou, there was a lot of noise around the mansion, which put Wei Zhenniang to sleep, and he went to the study to check the documents.He was so tired that he heard the noise as soon as he lay down. Shi Zhongzhu thought it was dawn, but before he could react, Qiuye knocked on the door and said that Chiji asked to see him, and there were thieves in the house.

Shi Zhongzhu reflexively went to see Wei Zhenniang, but fortunately, he didn't wake up.Wei Zhenniang had a hard pregnancy, not to mention running around, and under great psychological pressure, Shi Zhongzhu got up quietly, asked Qiu Ye to guard Wei Zhenniang, and hurried out to meet Chiji.

Shi Zhongzhu put on his clothes as he walked, and when he reached the small hall outside, he was still tying his clothes.

Entering the small hall, Chi Ji didn't wait for Shi Zhongzhu to sit down, and said directly: "Master, there are assassins breaking into the mansion."

"What? Where? Have you caught it?" Shi Zhongzhu was surprised.

"I don't know. When the servant came, Commander Guo Li was leading people to chase him. He was afraid that he would be caught in a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The safety of the master and wife is the most important thing." Chi Ji explained.

"There are casualties, who discovered the assassin."

"It's Miss Qiuju. Those assassins should have sneaked in from the garden in the backyard and went straight to the main courtyard. If the wife hadn't just moved here today, the consequences would have been disastrous." Chi Ji explained, "It's Miss Qiuju. If you get stabbed several times, your life may be in danger.”

"What?!" This exclamation was not made by Shi Zhongzhu. Wei Zhenniang came out with a big belly, supported by Qiu Ye, her hair was loose, and she was wearing a wide cloak. Grab the hem of the cape.

"Why did you come out?" Shi Zhongzhu ran over to support her.

"What did Chi Ji say just now? Qiu Ju's life is in danger? What's going on? Who hurt her?" Wei Zhenniang asked while catching Shi Zhongzhu.

"Relax, Zhenniang, relax, think about the child, come and follow me, take a deep breath, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale..." Shi Zhongzhu first calmed Wei Zhenniang who was emotional, and said: "Don't get excited, the child will feel uncomfortable, Your body can't take it, don't get excited."

"Chiji, tell Madam about the situation." Shi Zhongzhu ordered.

Chi Ji also knew that his wife was pregnant, so it was best not to listen to these bloody things, and in a few words, he explained how Qiu Ju found the thief and how to lure him to the guard camp. "Miss Qiu Ju has been rescued and settled in the main courtyard." Qiu Ju lost a lot of blood, so she had to be resettled nearby.

"I'll go and see her." Wei Zhenniang gathered her cloak and was about to go outside.

"Wait, the thief hasn't been caught yet, so don't take any risks." Shi Zhongzhu immediately dissuaded him.

At this time, Robber Li came in and reported back, "Master, the thief has been caught. Captain Guo Li was injured, one person from the guard battalion was seriously injured, and three people were slightly injured. They have all been treated for treatment."

"I can go now." Wei Zhenniang asked impatiently, being hit by such things one after another, Wei Zhenniang could no longer control her temper.

"I'll help you." Shi Zhongzhu helped Wei Zhenniang to walk out of the courtyard. Qiuju was in an emergency. If she didn't hurry up, Wei Zhenniang might not even be able to see her for the last time.

While helping Wei Zhenniang to go out, when she sat on the soft sedan chair, Shi Zhongzhu ordered Robo Li to arrange a whole house investigation, and there must be no thieves hiding in the house.

"Master, don't worry, it has been arranged."
