The son is responsible

The night is dark and windy.

At Xue Huaijin's appointment, the girl came to a warehouse wharf on Pingjiang River Embankment.Because it was late at night, there were not many dock workers, only one boat was docking, and there were a few people on the shore dragging the rope.On the boat was the big business that my uncle took over. It seemed that there was a wealthy family in the north who passed by Pingjiang and wanted to sell fifty bulldogs.

Xue Huaijin sent the most capable servant to deliver a letter to the girl's home, saying that he had thought of a way, and asked the girl not to tell anyone that she came here to see him at night.

The girl is innocent and came to the appointment alone.

Xue Huaijin took the girl's hand and turned into the cargo storage area along the river, where there was a wooden box that was half the height of a person.

He himself was extremely nervous, even though he was in his uncle's warehouse, he could see his uncle's boat approaching the shore from afar.There should be the barking of bulldogs on the boat, one after another.

It was also the first time for Xue Huaijin to do the murder with her own hands, and her palms were full of cold sweat.

"Young Master?" The girl still had a shallow smile on her face, thinking that she would soon marry into a wealthy family and become a phoenix, she didn't even notice that the danger was approaching.

"I've decided to marry you, but you can only be a concubine, do you really want to?"

The girl nodded and leaned on Xue Huaijin's shoulder.

Xue Huaijin wrapped her arms around the girl's waist, slowly hooked the girl's shoulders, touched the back of her neck, closed her eyes and slashed hard.

The girl was unconscious, her soft body fell into his arms.

Xue Huaijin quickly opened the box and put the girl's body into the box next to her.

The box was prepared early in the morning, and the shipping dock was under the management of my uncle, so it was easy to get an empty box to put here.These are all prepared by my mother.The person who prepared it naturally didn't know what the box was used for.

Liu Yiniang asked Xue Huaijin to lure the girl to her uncle's place on the riverside wharf. Only Xue Huaijin came forward, and the deceived girl came out to the appointment without telling anyone and without any precautions.Xue Huaijin could knock the girl unconscious while the girl was in a sweet reverie, and then throw the girl into the box prepared in advance.

Afterwards, the merchant ship of my uncle, who was out to handle the goods, docked to unload the goods tonight, so I could just take the box away, and then find a random place in Pingjiang, and throw the box into the water. The girl should be missing. arrive.Unknowingly, the hidden danger of the girl was eliminated.

What Xue Huaijin had to do ended here. He locked the box and was about to leave here secretly. After the box, someone from his uncle would take over.He saw from a distance that his uncle's boat had opened the cabin, and hired workers went in to unload the cargo one after another.

Finally solved this trouble, he looked at the box again, and said to himself, "Don't blame me, I have no other choice, if you don't die, I have to lose my future, whoever made you so unlucky, I was pregnant with a child just last time?" ? Turn around, I will give your father a few more acres of land as compensation."

Xue Huaijin took a few steps, and heard the dog barking louder and louder behind her.The barking of the dog was also mixed with the hoarse yelling of the strong man. He had something on his mind, his ears were buzzing, and he was feeling irritable.He was still worried that the box wouldn't leave, and didn't listen carefully to what those voices were shouting.

He walked a few more steps, and felt something grabbing his trouser leg behind him. He thought the girl had crawled out of the box. He was so scared that he kicked hard, but he kicked something fluffy and soft.

"Wow woof woof... woof woof!!!"

A wolfhound half as tall as him was examining him with sharp eyes.

In the middle of the night, the dog's eyes became very bright. Xue Huaijin was terrified, trembling with fright, and ran towards the carriage stop.

The more people run, the more dogs chase.

But he couldn't run as fast as a dog, and within a few steps, he was thrown to the ground by the big wolf dog.Xue Huaijin swayed from side to side and struggled, her clothes were torn by the sharp claws of the wolf dog.He picked up the wooden stick next to him and hit the wolf dog on the head vigorously. The wolf dog whined a few times and backed away after being beaten.

He got up repeatedly, took the stick and ran forward vigorously, beating randomly while running.Not far ahead, there is a house where hired workers live, and when he ran out, someone came to rescue him.

He finally heard what the group of people in the distance were shouting. The group of strong men shouted, "Who opened the cage lock! Who opened it! The dogs are gone! Hurry up, the dogs are gone! Hurry up!" Go chase it back, this time the goods are all bulldogs, don't let them hurt people."

He suddenly felt that something was caught under his feet, and he fell face-to-face to the ground.Turning over, before he could stand still, his face paled in an instant, his dog's eyes were like stars, shining to light up the dark alley, before his tears fell to the ground, more than a dozen wolf dogs rushed towards him.

Heart-piercing screams pierced through layers of dark clouds in the night sky of Pingjiang.

……

In the middle of the night, Dr. Xu was woken up by the faint cries of the second wife and sixth aunt.

Not only Dr. Xu, but the entire courtyard of Pingjiang Hou's mansion were lit with candles and lanterns, and sent people to see what happened in the courtyard of the second room.

"It's miserable! It's so miserable!"

"Poor good boy, you didn't look at that leg just now. Doctor Xu has nowhere to stick the needle. It was gnawed by dog ​​teeth, and there is no decent skin and flesh. The bones are leaking out. I'm afraid it won't be able to keep it. In the future It must be branded with disability!"

"Fortunately, I got my life back."

"Hasn't the nose been bitten off too?"

Xue Huaijin was bitten by a group of dogs. Fortunately, the hired workers rushed over to hear the sound of the dogs barking, drove the dogs away, and rescued the person who was bitten by the dogs and could no longer recognize the shape of his face.A hired worker pulled out a jade crown from the dog's mouth. They showed the jade crown to the boss who hurried over. Holding the jade crown, the boss looked tremblingly at the man lying on the ground with bloody eyes and fainted. passed out.Some of the hired workers knew the pattern on the jade crown. Someone in his family was in the jade business. This pattern was specially customized by the Pingjiang Hou Mansion.

The second master of the Xue family was not there, seeing her son like this, Sixth Aunt collapsed to the ground, and forgot to do anything else except cry.As expected of Miss Xiao, she was born in the general family. After seeing blood, all the aunts covered their faces with handkerchiefs and dared not approach. She flicked up her skirt and rushed forward. Together with her servants, Xue Huaijin was carried into the room on the mattress. He took a knife to open the cloth sticking to the flesh wound, ordered the servant girl to boil water to wash Xue Huaijin's wound, and ordered his son's guards to attack Dr. Xu, but stopped the bleeding as quickly as possible.

For a whole night, the blood in Erfang Changxin Hospital flowed out one basin after another. Those who didn't know which one thought it was a profuse bleeding.

Marquis Pingjiang sat in the main hall of Changjing Courtyard with a serious face, listening to the steward's report, "There are fifty bulldogs on board, ten in one cage, and two cages with chains. I don't know which careless employee forgot to lock them. The fierce dog rushed out of the cage, and it happened that the second bedroom and the second son were near the warehouse, so he was attacked by the fierce dog."

Xue Dezhong sighed, he thought the same way, it was just an accident, without any plan, he only blamed the bad luck of the second room nephew.The owner of the bulldog and the warehouse where the accident happened belonged to the Yuan family, and the owner of the Yuan family was his own uncle.Could it be that my dear uncle deliberately let a bully dog ​​bite his nephew to maim and disfigure him?

He asked again, "Why did the original boss transport so many bulldogs to Pingjiang?"

The subordinate replied, "This batch of bulldogs is a deal that the original boss made with a northern merchant a few days ago. The northern merchant is rich and paid 500 taels of silver in advance as a deposit. But the merchant is in a hurry, so the original boss moved around. Goods, only fifty of them."

On the outskirts of Pingjiang, there is a live animal market, which is quite famous throughout Dajing.Merchants from other places often come to place orders, and the original family ships and also deals in live animals.Dogs and horses are the most commonly sold living animals in the market.

"Those dogs, how did you deal with them?"

"The merchant in the north heard that the fierce dog hurt someone, so if he refuses to accept the goods, the money will be ruined and the disaster will be eliminated. I don't want them all. This subordinate is also about to ask Lord Hou for instructions on how to deal with it."

Marquis Pingjiang sighed, and after a while, he said, "Let's kill them all."

The old matriarch sitting next to him, with Buddhist beads stuck in his hand, murmured, "It must be the censer. A shattered censer is an ominous omen. Erfang Jin has endured the disaster of the Xue family!"

"Mother, in the middle of the night, you should go back to sleep," Ping Jianghou was not in the mood to explain the incense burner to his mother, and ordered someone to help the old lady back to rest.

He rubbed the center of his brows, the women in the second room outside the door, he couldn't stand the chirping.He never cared about the second brother not returning home at night, but his son was almost dead but he couldn't find him.On the contrary, it was the second younger brother and sister who made him look at each other with admiration. When he came, Miss Xiao's hands were covered with blood. , It's like two different people.

He suddenly remembered something, just now his subordinate said that he picked up a girl by the river, and the girl hid in a box, and escaped from being bitten by a group of dogs.

"That girl, did you find out anything?"

The subordinate replied, "The girl said she couldn't remember anything, she just remembered that she was cooking at home, and a figure flashed behind her, and she was rescued by us after waking up. I think she has an injury on the back of her neck, and she was probably hijacked by a flower picker." Yes. Lord Hou, from this point of view, the flower picker Liu Feng, who was seized by the imperial court for 10 taels of silver, may really be hiding here. Do you want to send out a few teams and set up a list in the whole city to search for it?"

"How can I care about this? Let's talk about it when he really has an accident." Ping Jianghou was a little tired, and handed over the follow-up of the second room to Miss Xiao and Xue Huaidi, saying that the second master came back and asked him to go to the study to find him.

He has to take care of this little brother.

……

Xue Muji was disturbed at night, covered himself with the quilt and continued to sleep.

There is class tomorrow, so I have to get up early.

Xue Muji saw Xue Huaidi again, it was in the morning class at school, he recovered from his injury, and he had regained his energy, but Xue Huaidi lay on the table and fell asleep, and did not notice when the teacher came, and Xue Muji mentioned him Get up and look at the two red and swollen panda eyes.

After the arithmetic class in the morning, at noon, Xue Muji invited Xue Huaidi to Yinfengyuan for tea.Xue Huaidi wanted to sleep, but she was 1 unwilling, so she followed obediently.

Xue Muji sat down, raised Erlang's legs, and asked, "Third Brother, did the excitement last night look good?"
