This year, the weather is a little early, it's only June, and it's already very hot. The scorching sun baked the bluestone pavement hot, and Ouyang Jie regretted not wearing a pair of thick-soled shoes when he went out.

Finally saw a sedan chair with feet under the shade of the road, Ouyang Jie walked a few steps quickly, grabbed the other person, and got on the sedan chair.

"To Little Shaoxing." Ouyang Jie said.

The car window was open, and the heat was drilling in one by one, Ouyang Jie wiped his sweat, just hoping to get to Xiaoshaoxing quickly and drink a few bowls of herbal tea.

The sedan chair had no curtains, and the sunlight spilled in unobstructed, Ouyang Jie simply took off his coat and hung it on the window to block the sun.

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally not so sunburned.

The summer in the capital is not very hot, but large families still use ice. He asked the little guy to get the ice, and the little guy came back and said that the ice was just enough for the masters of the house, and he couldn't even give some crushed ice slag.

Ouyang Jie knew in his heart that it was not the first year that the Gao family had spent the summer in the capital, how could they not have enough ice, Gao Yun was not harsh on trivial matters, it was nothing more than the people below who observed their words and emotions and deliberately made things difficult.

Ouyang Jie smiled and shook his head, he could let the people below do this, it must be Gao Yun who showed his mouth, these days, he clearly saw that Gao Yun was getting more and more impatient with him.

A few days ago, he wrote a letter to Yang Shanzong, saying that he was not suitable for the climate of the capital and wanted to return to Yang's house, or to Zhejiang. But Yang Shanzong replied, first saying that he valued and trusted him, and then turned the conversation around and rejected his request, not only that, but also sent a person named Yang Ting over, called him to run errands, but in fact, to monitor him.

On the first day Yang Tinglai came, he said to him: "Mr. Ouyang, you are an understanding person, you have been in the Yang family for more than 20 years, and you have been in the Gao family for a few days, do you think you can still get out of the way?" The master said, if you die, you will die in the Gao family. ”

Thinking of this, Ouyang Jie laughed self-deprecatingly, he was really confused, he actually thought that he would be able to get out of the way after participating in many secrets.

Either continue to be the bridge between the Gao family and the Yang family, or die.

He hasn't been to Xiaoshaoxing for some days, Yang Ting is like a tail, he follows wherever he goes, he doesn't want to cause trouble to those fellow villagers in Xiaoshaoxing, they don't live in the capital easily.

It's just a pity that Jiao Wei, who has just met for a short time, Jiao Wei also asked him to watch a Shaoxing opera, and even hinted that he could introduce him to Luo Shao, but he didn't make up his mind after all, he and Yang Shanzong were guests after all.

If Yang Ting hadn't said that he would go to see a relative today, he would still not have gone to Xiaoshaoxing.

The sedan chair was bumpy, Ouyang Jie frowned, and a sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart.

The road leading to Xiaoshaoxing is a bluestone slab road with water, but although the sedan chair is still walking steadily, he can still feel the deep foot and shallow foot of the sedan chair man.

He lifted the coat hanging on the window, and instantly gasped, this is not the road to Xiao Shaoxing at all.

"Ouch, get off the sedan chair, my stomach hurts, hurry up, I want to make it easier." He shouted.

The sedan chair did not stop, but went faster, and later, the two sedan chair drivers simply ran up.

Ouyang Jie quickly put on his coat, leaned out of the window with half of his body, and shouted loudly: "Help, help, someone kidnaps the ticket, help!" ”

"Don't shout, shouting again will end you now." A palanquin man said viciously, but his footsteps did not stop.

Ouyang Jie's heart sank, and he could still speak with full anger in the midst of the wild running, this person was a practitioner, and he was definitely not an ordinary sedan chair man with bad intentions and robbed of property.

This is the man who came to kill him.

He was not familiar with the capital, and the road in front of him was completely unfamiliar, and his shouts attracted passers-by, some stopped, some pointed and pointed, but no one dared to come up and stop them.

Ouyang Jie didn't give up, he still shouted "help", and the two palanquin men scolded and scolded, but they couldn't stop and block his mouth, they could only run faster.

Suddenly, a carriage rushed out of nowhere, blocking the way.

The two sedan drivers thought that the carriage would turn, but they didn't expect it to stop, so they paused and turned to the side path.

But it was too late, when the horse pulling the cart suddenly lifted its legs, and the carriage rushed towards them.

The two sedan chair drivers were both practitioners, but the carriage came too fast, and they couldn't avoid the sedan chair for a while, and were pinned by the carriage, and the two of them fell to the ground together with the sedan chair.

Ouyang Jie was caught off guard and was fallen, but fortunately he was sitting and did not fall and was not injured, although he didn't know what was going on with this carriage, but he also realized that this was a good time to escape.

He climbed out of the sedan chair and was about to run, when one leg was clung to, and when he went back, he saw that it was one of the sedan chair drivers.

He took the folding fan in his hand and hit his head and face, but as a scholar, the fan had not yet hit the face of the sedan chair man, and his arm was dragged by another sedan chair man.

It's over, I can't run now.

But at this time, when it was too late, several big men jumped out of the carriage, rushed over, and without saying a word, raised their fists and hit the two sedan drivers.

The sedan chair man had no choice but to let go of Ouyang Jie and deal with these big men, Ouyang Jie saw that he had a vacancy, so he ran away, and then the curtain of the carriage opened, revealing a familiar face: "Mr. Ouyang, come up quickly!" ”

Ouyang Jie was taken aback, this person was known to him, how could he be here?

He didn't have time to think about it, so he lifted his robe and got into the carriage, and the people in the carriage said to the handlebars: "Hurry up!" ”

Ouyang Jie looked out of the car window and saw several big men beating the two sedan drivers, and he arched his hand at the people in the car: "Brother Jiao, don't you wait for those few?" ”

Jiao Wei shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile: "It's just two ill-intentioned sedan chair men, beating them up, they will be sent to Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Ouyang doesn't have to worry about it." ”

In other words, these big men will not be in trouble.

Ouyang Jie hugged his fist at Jiao Wei again: "Today's matter, thanks to Brother Jiao's help, otherwise...... Alas! ”

He smiled bitterly: "It's useless to be a scholar." ”

Jiao Wei laughed: "Mr. Ouyang scolded me too, don't forget, I'm also a useless scholar." ”

Ouyang Jie laughed self-deprecatingly: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

He changed his words: "Brother Jiao, why are you here?" And those righteous men just now, who are they? ”

Jiao Wei continued to shake his folding fan and said with a smile: "Mr. Ouyang is one of the few people who understands, Jiao knows that he can't hide it from you, and sure enough, you can see it at a glance." I won't tell you, I've been waiting for you for a few days, but fortunately, I've inquired with the Gao family, otherwise I thought something had happened to you, alas, if you don't leave the house again, I will have to find my aunt to push this errand, Brother Ouyang doesn't know, the little phoenix in the Suzhou Hall has been an apprentice, and he has been singing for a few days, and I haven't been able to go to the show once. ”
