[Red Mansion] His mouth was opened

The body of the arrow sank into the pillar in the Town God's Temple with a sound.

The man didn't even take a second look. He turned his horse's head and left the way he came.

After the man left for a stick of incense, the statue of Lord Chenghuang in the Town God's Temple appeared.

Several thin men came out from behind the statue, and one of them went forward to pull out the arrow, and stuffed the reply letter on it into his bosom.

The others looked around with a look of vigilance.

"Let's go." The person who took the letter said immediately.

The others protected him and headed out of the Town God's Temple.

After these people left, not long after, a man in night clothes followed them far away.

The man's skill was very agile, he followed him from a distance along the way, and he didn't even lose track of him.

……

"Boss, we are back." Several people who were sent to get the letter hurried into the hall.

With joy in his eyes, Chen En straightened up and took the letter handed over by the leader. After he opened the letter and read it, his complexion changed again and again, as if he had knocked over a paint shop.

The knuckles of his fingers pinching the letter paper turned white from the force, his eyes were glaring, bloodshot.

Everyone's hearts also sank to the bottom of the valley.

Could it be that Chen Shen is unwilling?

"Boss, what did the dog officer say?" Someone asked eagerly.

There was a cruel smile on the corner of Chen En's mouth, "The dog official agreed!"

"Then..." Then why is your face still so ugly?

Everyone is a little confused.

With a cold face, Chen En stuffed the letter into his sleeves, "Go down and rest first, and tomorrow will be the date of the dog official's death!"

Everyone looked at each other, although they felt a little worried, they still retreated to rest. Once Chen Xia died, Chen En would be their leader. Among them, Chen Xia had the best skills, and Chen En had the smartest mind. They are all planing food in the ground, none of them can read, so naturally they all listen to their brothers.

After everyone retreated, Chen En clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, good Jia Huan!It's so unobtrusive!

Thinking that Jia Huan, who killed his brother, was right under his nose and almost let him slip away, Chen En wished he could take a knife and kill him!

Chen En turned around, entered the room, and took out a dagger from under the pillow.

He hid the dagger in his sleeve and motioned for Aunt Ninth to bring tea.

"knock knock"

Tu Henglu and Jia Huan looked at each other, "Who?"

"it's me."

Chen En forced himself to smile, his eyes were like a vast ocean covered with thin ice, and the hatred underneath was already surging, but reason kept him calm on the surface.

What is he doing here?

Tuhenglu and Jia Huan exchanged glances, and Jia Huan said, "Please come in."

Chen En pushed open the door with a smile on his lips. The person who had almost lost his mind just now seemed to be another person. At this moment, he looked at Jia Huan, but his heart was unexpectedly calm, "You two have not yet sleep?"

With a smile on Jia Huan's face, she complained secretly in her heart, this is not nonsense!

Chen En smiled and motioned to Ninth Aunt to put the tea on the table, and then sat down calmly, "Since the two of you are still up, let's have a chat. It is fate to meet you."

Tu Henglu flicked his fingers, and said with a half-smile: "This kind of fate is really precious."

Chen En didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in his words, and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Sixteenth is joking, you really offend the grassroots when you say such things."

Tu Henglu's eyes flickered, and Jia Huan's lips twitched. It seemed that Chen En didn't intend to pretend to be confused anymore.

"Speaking of which, I never thought in my life that I could meet a noble person like you, let alone invite you to stay in a shabby house for a few days." Chen En said with emotion, "It can be seen that the world is really impermanent. very."

Tuhenglu didn't speak.

He vaguely felt that Chen En was a bit weird, and his reaction tonight was completely different from yesterday's.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself to you two yet." Chen En changed the topic as if he suddenly remembered something.

Jia Huan smiled, "It's not too late now."

He wasn't afraid to know the identity of this person, after all, the other party didn't even shy away from letting them see his face, so what if he knew his identity?

"That's right," Chen En said with a smile, "My surname is Chen, my first name is En, and my name is Ende. Although I am unknown, I am an old acquaintance with Mr. Jia who has never met before."

The implication in his words made both of them startled.

Jia Huan froze for a moment, a little confused, and seemed to understand something.

"Master Jia hasn't figured out who I am, right? My brother and my brother are just nobody, how could Master Jia take it seriously?!" Chen En said with a smile, but the sharpness in his words caught people's attention.

Brother?

Could it be Chen Xia? !

Jia Huan immediately reacted, he was overjoyed at first, and then his heart skipped a beat, no, now everyone thinks he killed Chen Xia, Chen En came to him, probably for revenge.

As soon as he reacted, a white light flashed in front of his eyes.

Jia Huan hadn't turned his head around yet, but his body had moved back neatly, narrowly avoiding Chen En's poisonous hands.

"You, what are you going to do?" Tu Henglu was taken aback by Chen En's sudden action. He didn't have a weapon in his hand, but he didn't take a step back. He flew forward and was about to snatch Chen En's dagger.

Chen En looked at the gentleness, but he didn't expect that his skills were not inferior to Tu Henglu's. He stretched out his hand to block Tu Henglu's left fist, and said with a sneer, "His Sixteenth Highness, I advise you to sit on the sidelines. Today, Jia Huan must die!"

"Wait a minute," Jia Huan didn't want to play a scene where his own people beat up his own people, "Your brother is not dead!"

Chen En's movements paused, his expression showing hesitation.

Before Tu Henglu could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw him step on the chair, with a flexible figure like a monkey, flying to Jia Huan, and the dagger in his hand pierced Jia Huan's neck.

The cold air on the dagger can almost be felt completely, and goose bumps can't help but stand on his neck.

"when--"

A stone pierced through the air and hit Chen En's wrist. Chen En felt pain and let go of his hand involuntarily.

He looked at the sneak attacker angrily, but his pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body shook, "Brother!"

It was Chen Xia who came.

Chen Xia was terrified in his heart. If Jia Huan really died, then the hatred of all of them would not be able to get back from Chen Shen. "Reckless! You are so reckless!"

At this moment, Chen En couldn't listen to what he was saying at all. The elder brother who should have died appeared in front of him without incident. This, this was completely beyond his expectation!

Chen En was overwhelmed with surprise, his mind was in a daze, and he didn't know how to react.

Chen Xia had no choice but to pull him, and apologized to Jia Huan, who was still in shock, "Master, I'm really sorry, my younger brother was reckless, and the third master was shocked."

He tugged at Chen En, who hadn't reacted yet, and then Chen En came to his senses, and subconsciously apologized to Jia Huan.

Jia Huan rubbed his neck, and said half helplessly and half jokingly: "The history of your family is really eye-opening. The elder brother almost took my life before, and the same is true for the younger brother. Anyway, I and your surname Chen are destined to have this catastrophe."

Chen Xia scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. After all, they were irrational, and Jia Huan deserved to say a few words.

Tu Henglu squinted his eyes, looked at Jia Huan's seemingly indifferent expression, but felt a little displeased for him in his heart, but he also knew why Jia Huan was like this, right now they needed Brother Chen Xia a lot, so they had to be patient .

"Brother, how did you find this place?" After Chen En settled down, he pulled Chen Xia to ask questions, with a concerned expression.

It was fine if he didn't mention it, but when he did, Chen Xia couldn't help frowning, "I followed Chen Shen from the governor's yamen all the way to the Town God's Temple, and those of you were so careless that no one was left behind." To wrap things up, if I hadn't killed Chen Shen's people, you would have been hidden somewhere by now."

Chen En's heart skipped a beat. Knowing that he was wrong, he quickly changed the topic: "Chen Shen is a scheming person. He will change at noon tomorrow, and he may use some tricks. We have to find a way to deal with it."

Jia Huan and the others knew that he was deliberately changing the topic, but no one pointed it out.

Right now, Chen Shen is their sworn enemy.

With the enemy in front of us, causing civil strife is tantamount to courting death.

"Where's the man!" In the study, Chen Shen had a pale face, with his hands behind his back, and looked coldly at the man kneeling on the ground.

The man's face was uncertain, "My lord, our people have all been killed! We haven't found any clues on the way or on the way."

"Killed! No clue found!" Chen Shen said word by word, as if he didn't understand what it meant, he suddenly laughed, "If that's the case, then how come you have the face to come back!"

The man's back was completely wet with cold sweat, his lips were dry, and he said with difficulty: "Big, big, small, small..."

They are aware of Chen Shen's methods.

So vicious that life would be worse than death!

"Okay." Chen Shen suppressed his anger, and said lightly, "Get up."

The man narrowly escaped death, almost frightened out of his wits, managed to hold on before standing up, but he didn't dare to look directly at Chen Shen.

Chen Shen glanced at him, his eyes were full of indifference, "Death is inevitable, but life is inevitable. Tomorrow, you lead a group of brothers and wait for my signal. If you can handle tomorrow's matter well, it will be considered as your credit." crime."

"Yes! The little one must do his best!" the man said repeatedly.

And this time.

A storm was also brewing in the capital, and the heavy rain that suddenly fell in the middle of the night did not stop until dawn.

At dawn, an expedited express mail of [-] miles arrived in the capital from Shanxi.

The news of His Royal Highness Sixteen and Jia Huan's disappearance was quickly spread throughout the entire capital.

"Ma'am," Zhou Rui's family rushed to Rongxi Hall non-stop after receiving the news.

Mrs. Wang was reciting Buddhist scriptures, when she heard Zhou Rui's house outside, she frowned indistinctly, but quickly opened her brows, "Let her in."

The members of Zhou Rui's family walked into the house with joyful faces. As soon as they entered the house, they smiled and congratulated Mrs. Wang: "Madam, I have heard some good news."

"Oh?" Mrs. Wang stood up holding Caixia's hand, walked to the chair and sat down calmly, "What kind of good news is it worth coming so early in the morning?"

Zhao Caixia and others from Zhou Rui's family glanced around, but remained silent.

Mrs. Wang waved her hand clearly, signaling them to go down.

After they went down, Zhou Rui's family came forward and poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Wang graciously, "Ma'am, that bastard is dead!"

Jia Huan is dead!Madam Wang's eyes suddenly shone, and she glanced at Zhou Rui's family in surprise and joy, "Really?"

"This matter is more real than pearls!" Zhou Rui's family said happily, "I heard that the evil species and His Highness the Sixteenth fell into the river, and no one was found for several days. You think, this must be more or less ominous!"

Mrs. Wang rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist, the corners of her mouth curled up, good death!Good to die!

But a little concubine dared to step on Baoyu's position, and this fate was even easier for him!

"Ma'am, everyone in the capital knows about this now." Zhou Rui's family member said cheerfully, she was the first to report the news, Madam Wang must have rewarded her a lot.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and rewarded Zhou Rui's family with a gold bracelet.

Zhou Rui's family dared not close their mouths, but their eyes were fixed on the bracelet.

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, brushed the broken hair around her ears, and said lightly: "Take it, it's just a reward for your loyalty."

Zhou Rui's family dared to accept this.

Mrs. Wang picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, "Speaking of which, they don't know the news yet, so you go there and report a letter. After all, it's her son, and you can't tell her not to know about her family. life and death of the son."

Zhou Rui's family rolled their eyes, and immediately understood Mrs. Wang's plan, said yes repeatedly, and then said with emotion: "Madam is really a bodhisattva, such a person, it stands to reason that we don't talk to her, and no one says anything." Well, Madam still misses her so much, it's really such a villain's blessing."

Mrs. Wang picked up the tea leaves and smiled calmly.

Once Jia Huan died, Aunt Zhao and Tanchun's status would be worse than that of maids and mother-in-law. She had to think about how to make these people look good!
