Hongxiang's little servant arrived at Xia's house, and was stopped at the door without accident. When he went back to report the news, the little servant cautiously glanced at Hongxiang's face and said, "The slave did not report the identity of the elder brother, nor did he attract attention. Thinking about going again tomorrow, one of the disciples of the Xia family knows the slave, and he happens to be absent today. ”

"Well, that's fine."

"Huh" The little guy exhaled lightly, it seems that Hongxiang also understands that without the command of the ninth elder brother, it is not wise for the big lama to send people to the Xia family before he succeeds. Even if Brother Jiu doesn't care, Hongxiang still has brothers.

Daiyu was eating with her mother at home, and said very strangely: "Isn't my father in the study?" Why not come and eat. "It's very rare for my father to be at home but not eat with them.

"I'm busy with something, I sent someone over and said it, I already sent his share over, what did Mama Mei do today." Jia Min asked about the soup on the table, this Mama Mei does have some skills, the soup is continuous every day, it tastes good and has efficacy, Jia Min has been drinking it for a while, and she feels much better.

Knowing that it was to replenish qi and blood, Jia Min said, "I'll send a can to your father later." ”

"Well, it's warm on the stove." If there are good things, you can't forget your parents.

After eating, Bai Lu carried the soup, Xingguo took the walnut crisp, and accompanied Daiyu to the master's study in the front yard.

When the staff in the study heard the young lady coming, they quickly got up to say goodbye, and Daiyu and Yiyi took a look at each other and saluted each other. When she got in, Daiyu brought the soup to her father, arranged the walnut cakes, and asked the two maids to wait outside.

"Father, I look at Mr. Zhang's face, it seems that he has encountered a problem?" Daiyu's eyes lit up and she saw a letter on the table. There was also a half-written letter next to it, and the two letters seemed to be identical.

No, if you look closely, you can still see that there is a slight difference in this trace.

"Well, there's a point, it's always going to work out, don't worry." Lin Ruhai only took a sip and put it down, really a little worried. I found a good imitation master in advance, but it was so coincidental that I had an accident when I went out to run a horse, and my arm was broken, and I couldn't lift a pen at all.

When the news came, it was a wail. This matter is linked one by one, and none of the links can be missing. But something went wrong at this time, could it be providence?

Daiyu walked out of the door, Lin Ruhai thought she was leaving, but she heard her daughter tell Bai Lu and Xingguo, "You two go back, Bai Lu will bring the paintings I have painted in the past few days, and you can send them alone." ”

"Father can solve this matter by himself." Seeing her daughter acting, Lin Ruhai knew what she wanted to do.

Daiyu shook her head stubbornly, "What my father does must be a big thing." It would be best if there was one less outsider to know, not to mention, even if something happened, who would have thought of his daughter's head. ”

Since imitating Jia Yu's handwriting to write Geng stickers last time, Lin Ruhai knows that her daughter probably has this ability. But he didn't ask in person, and he didn't think about using his daughter to do things for himself.

"My father didn't believe it, but he knew it at a glance." Daiyu picked up the letter and looked at it carefully, then spread out the paper and wrote with a pen. She has been practicing calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she wants to practice something different from others. The right hand is like an ordinary person, practicing the hairpin flower Xiaokai most commonly used in the daughter's family, and the left hand is practicing imitating other people's handwriting. Decades have been like a day, but it has made her a little successful.

Bai Lu stood at the door of the study with the painting in her arms, but did not knock on the door, just stood quietly, like a guard on guard.

This stop was a long time, and Xingguo had been waiting for the young lady to come back, but she couldn't resist the drowsiness that came from the smoke. When Daiyu and Bai Lu came back, they saw Zhengxiang Xingguo sitting crookedly on the small pestle, leaning against the door panel, and sleeping little by little.

Daiyu was tired and didn't want to say a word, and after going to bed, Bai Lu helped her rub her arms for a long time before going down. Xingguo stopped Bai Lu, who was exiting the house, squinted and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"What else can I do, the master wants to see the young lady's paintings, probably taught the young lady to move the pen again, how can I understand this."

"That's it?" The apricot fruit is stupid, why didn't Miss let her send it, and ordered Bailu.

"It's not that Miss is partial to you, you don't know that the master is so happy that he even forgot the time. I stood there with my legs numb. ”

Xingguo wanted to laugh and endured it desperately, twisted her head, turned her chin and glanced at her, "It's all the same to serve the young lady, what kind of pain is not biased, it's serious to be on an errand." ”

Bai Lu's face was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, "What you said is, hurry up and sleep, I'm so tired that my legs don't look like my own." ”

"Let the little maid bring you a basin of hot water bubbles to relieve fatigue and then sleep." After Xingguo finished speaking, she ordered the little maid to bring water to Bai Lu, and fell asleep by herself.

On the second day, Hongxiang's little servant entered the door of the Xia family as he wished. A screen was erected in Xia Jingui's room, and she sat upright on a circle chair, with a hand on Xia Jingui's shoulder behind her.

Seeing the little guy with the screen Hongxiang, Xia Jingui's voice trembled a few times, and finally fell on the tune.

"But what does Brother Hongxiang command?" Xia Jingui felt that the hand on her shoulder was three points heavier, and she couldn't help but tighten her throat and swallow her saliva.

The little guy slowly turned an angle, and took advantage of the luminosity of the sun to see the person behind Xia Jingui. couldn't help but feel at ease for a while, and his tongue became smart, "Our master has a letter sent to the Xia family." ”

Xia Jingui's maid took the letter and handed it in, and when she saw Lu Renxing behind her, she frowned faintly and sighed lightly.

"How can I raise so much silver?" Xia Jingui saw that Hongxiang in the letter asked for 200,000 taels of silver as soon as he opened his mouth, and he immediately became angry. It's really all bullied, she has this kind of relationship with Brother Jiu, she can't afford to provoke these brothers, but the other party has problems in front of her, and Brother Jiu won't condone it.

"Although this letter was written by our elder brother, you should understand that this matter is what the ninth master meant. Now that big things can be expected, why don't you use silver, you pay it obediently, you will have your benefits in the future, the ninth master said that you will be allowed a good family business in the future. The little guy said decently, bluffing Xia Jingui one by one.

"What big things can be expected?" Xia Jingui felt that something was wrong, and he hadn't heard of anything big happening recently.

"Don't ask nonsense about things you shouldn't ask, you don't know how to die." The little guy was carrying his hands behind his back, with an arrogant face, which was straightforward and strong, and it really made people unable to see the flaws.

In addition, Lu Renxing has stayed in Xia Jingui's house for this period of time, which has caused her mental confusion, and when she meets the upper part of the Ninth Master's Mansion, she is immediately convinced.

If it was before, she might have gone out of the house to find the ninth master and ask him face to face. But now, she can't leave the house at all, let alone let the Ninth Master come to the Xia family to see her. Under the weakness of the heart, I responded in one bite.

As soon as the little guy left, Lu Renxing jumped out, touching his chin and looking happy.

"Okay, good, the so-called troubled times are heroes, and the master you are with is a man." With the eyes of Lu Renxing's heart, he has already heard the meaning of the little guy, this is the rhythm of copying the guy and rebelling. At such an important moment, how can he be so absent that he can do anything, God really helps him.

Thinking that he would no longer have to hide in Tibet with the reputation of Jiangyang thieves on his back in the future, and even be able to be knighted, his heart was about to float up.

Xia Jingui looked at him, snorted coldly in his heart, and did not speak. He wants to go to the Ninth Master, that's really good, these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren are proud, how can they look down on you, a Jiangyang thief. She didn't think deeply about anything big to look forward to, no matter what big things he had, it was all a man's business anyway.

Of course Lu Renxing won't go now, he waited for Xia Jingui to raise all the silver taels, and took the silver to find the ninth master as a vote. Xia Jingui also wanted to send people away as soon as possible, raised 50,000 taels of silver, and put the silver ticket in an envelope.

"Who can raise 200,000 taels and a half, the ninth master must also know. You won't force me to take it out immediately, it's always a matter of course, take your time, you won't run away with the 50,000 taels in your pocket. Xia Jingui's mood was a little complicated, that is, he hoped that Lu Renxing would run away with the money and never come back, and even more hoped that he would take the money and plant it in the hands of the ninth master.

"If I really run away, wouldn't you want to stay alone in the empty boudoir, and when I go to the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion, how about simply asking you to be a lady?" Lu Renxing packed the envelope and said half-seriously, half-jokingly.

"Hmph, let's go. Get the address and don't make a mistake. Xia Jingui thought to himself, there are many capable people under the Ninth Master, so they will accept you, and go dreaming.

The address is a restaurant in the city, which is exclusively used by dignitaries and nobles, and the price is very expensive, and ordinary people will not come in. Brother Hongxiang's people brought a letter, saying that they met in the box of the restaurant.

The little guy looked at Brother Hongxiang helplessly, "The other party should have responded and raised 50,000 taels, it is precisely because of the large amount of money that I have to hand it over to you in person." The slave thought that it was indeed difficult to accept such a large sum of money for the master, so he should respond. ”

"Don't do this in the future, a merchant, just use it, don't be too exalted." There was a score in his mouth, but the expression on his face was very relaxed. I couldn't hum a song in my heart, 50,000 taels, the woman surnamed Xia is really easy to deceive. casually opened his mouth, and offered 50,000 taels of silver, and with this silver, he couldn't do anything.

Seeing that the two of them were sitting in the box, the little servant retreated very knowingly, walked to the back door, glanced at the guy downstairs, quickly led a horse, jumped on the horse and galloped away.

"The infantry army leads the yamen to handle the case, and the idlers avoid it." The restaurant was wrapped up and down, and suddenly a loud voice lit up, startling the two people in the upstairs box.

Hongxiang was extremely dissatisfied, and said outside the door: "Go and see, who is screaming under the eyes." ”

The full name of the commander of the infantry army Yamen is the commander of the five battalions of the Nine Gate Infantry Army, also known as the commander of the Nine Gates. Of course, it is impossible for Long Keduo to come forward for this kind of trivial matter of coming out to inspect. That's why Hongxiang thinks that it should be nothing to put on a shelf.

But no matter how much he shouted, no one answered outside the door. Hongxiang sank his face, he just felt that this slave was smart, why did he start slacking off at this moment.

Lu Renxing, who was sitting across from him, became nervous, was it aimed at himself? obviously went out with makeup, how could anyone recognize him. Could it be that Xia Jingui is a woman who informes, but she is not afraid of dragging the Nine Elder Brothers' Mansion into the water? She should, wouldn't dare.

Of course Xia Jingui didn't dare, or she couldn't help it. Lu Ren also took measures before walking, poured a cup of sweat medicine, and was able to sleep until tonight.

The cold sweat on his back came down one by one, and Lu Renxing's gaze became cold and gloomy, at this time, what ambition and what contribution are not as important as saving life.

Just as the commander of the infantry army rushed into the box, Lu Renxing took out a dagger, jumped onto the table, and put the dagger on Hongxiang's neck, followed by a loud roar, "Whoever dares to come, I will kill him." ”

"Don't kill me, quick, save me, my Ama is the ninth elder brother, and I am Hongxiang. Hurry up and save me, save me......" Hongxiang was stupid, he was obviously talking and laughing happily just now, and even intended to take refuge in him, why did he suddenly turn against the water. By now, his mind was in chaos, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

There is actually a brother, a small flag who led the team this time, and secretly screamed in his heart. It's also to blame him for his meritorious service, and when he gets a tip, he brings people over to arrest criminals. For fear that people would rob him of his credit, no one was notified.

Now I know that I am in a hurry, of course the merit belongs to him alone, and if he is guilty, isn't it also his own, and he doesn't even have a share. With a look, a subordinate slipped out far away, hoping that he would be clever and hurry back to report the news.

Now the focus is not on arresting criminals, but on protecting Brother, this Xiaoqi's voice trembled, and when he heard it, he knew that he was a newcomer to the yamen, and he had no experience at all.

Lu Renxing breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the person in front of him was not a veteran, and he had to flee quickly before reinforcements came. He dragged Hongxiang with one hand, opened the window with the other, and looked down, the road had already been cleared, there was no pedestrian, and a group of soldiers was standing.

"Let them all be removed, otherwise I will die in a rotten life, and I will have to make money by pulling a brother on my back before I die." Lu Renxing knew that this was what they were afraid of, and he was glad in his heart, fortunately, there was still this way out.

"Withdraw, withdraw." Xiaoqi didn't want to make meritorious service anymore, he just hoped that Hongxiang would be safe.

He saw the officers and soldiers on the street evacuate, and dragged Hongxiang downstairs, "Evacuate all the people in the store." ”

"All withdraw, all withdraw." The officers and soldiers on the first floor withdrew like a stream, leaving only the shopkeeper and a few guys shrunk behind the counter in fright, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

No, there are still people, Lu Renxing looked at it wrongly, and saw that in the lobby on the first floor, there were cups and saucers, and there was a woman with her back to him, sitting alone at the table.

After just one glance, he withdrew his gaze, probably scared stupid, and he wouldn't move if he was scared. Didn't you see, her body kept shaking?

He dragged Hongxiang to the gate and began to ask for a horse again, "Horse, quickly pull a horse." ”

"I can give you the horse, but you have to release Brother Hongxiang." Xiaoqi couldn't hold his breath, he did everything, why didn't he let go.

"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll wait to collect the body." Lu Renxing was only glad that the money he got from the Xia family was kept close to him, although it was a pity to go, but he made a lot of money. Of course, the silver ticket in Hongxiang's arms, he also happened to take it away.

As soon as his hand was tightened, a blood mark immediately appeared on Hongxiang's neck, and the frightened Hongxiang howled like a pig, "Do as you do, do as he says." ”

He didn't want to die here, he was a noble grandson, and there were many good days ahead, he really didn't want to die. The face is full of tears and snot, where is there still half of the usual chic appearance.

Xiaoqi, not to mention his forehead, was in a cold sweat all over his body, and from time to time he looked to see if the reinforcements had arrived. At least, there are other people who watch this person take Brother Hongxiang hostage with him, and many people can carry the fire with him.

The reinforcements arrived quickly, but they didn't dare to come over at all, because they were afraid that the murderers would suddenly go crazy and hurt Brother Hongxiang when they saw the officers and soldiers approaching. So Xiaoqi took all the pressure and watched him take Brother Hongxiang on the horse.

"If you dare to chase him, I will throw him off the horse, you have the ability to hold the horse, and it is your ability not to trample on him. If I don't chase him, as long as I get out of the city gate, I will definitely put him down. I'm not stupid, I killed a brother for no reason, I'm not tired of it. ”

Lu Renxing really thought of everything, and his horse was hunched by two people, and he definitely couldn't run fast. If they chase, they will definitely chase on horseback. As long as he throws Hongxiang off the horse, no matter how much the people chasing after him control him, it is difficult to be sure not to step on Hongxiang.

Xiaoqi also thought so, and his face suddenly became ugly. Although he also believed that Lu Renxing would not dare to really kill Brother Hongxiang, he was not afraid of 10,000 in case, if there was really a case, he would not be able to calm the emperor's anger even if he was all over the house.

But he didn't have time to think about it, Lu Renxing had already jumped on the horse, and he was about to rush out with a whip. At this moment, a chopstick flew out of nowhere, and then there was a scream, and the palm of the hand holding the dagger was pierced by a chopstick.

As soon as the dagger fell, Hongxiang didn't know whether he was scared stupid, or his feet were weak, and he didn't know that he jumped off the horse. Immediately afterwards, a water-red figure jumped out from the first floor of the restaurant and kicked Hongxiang off the horse.

Fortunately, Xiaoqi reacted at this time, flew and pounced, caught Hongxiang, rolled a few times on the ground with him, and got up to see that Hongxiang's arms and legs were all over. As soon as his knees were weak, he knelt directly to the ground, and shouted God bless in his heart. He no longer rushes to work, and he will be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of his life. The turtle is good, and it lives a long life.

Lu Renxing didn't know who this woman was, but he smelled danger. Endured the pain, pulled out a gold needle from his waist and pierced it into the horse's buttocks. The horse was frightened and ran out at a gallop. At first, Xiaoqi and the soldiers could still see the figure of the horse walking on the road, and the water red that fell on the horse's belly, and after that, only a wisp of smoke and dust remained.

The horse is frightened and does not know the way, and there is no way to control it. No one knew where the horse would run, so Lu Renxing only hugged the horse's neck and waited for the horse to slow down before jumping off the horse, removing the chopsticks from the palm of his hand, and preparing to treat the wound.

"Whew" A fist swept by, and Lu Renxing could avoid it, but he saw a woman kicking towards him.

This...... How did this daughter keep up, Lu Renxing's mind turned sharply. Who is this woman and why is she so hard to get along with her. Wait, it's her, it's the locust who came down the mountain.

In the whole Jinling, dressed like this, a rich wife can know him, and the only one who has an enmity with him is Shanhuai. He rolled his eyes, and said while dodging: "Shanhuai, do you know who your parents are, if you want to know, stop quickly." ”

Shanhuai, that is, Grandma Xue, didn't blink her eyes, and swung her fist again and again, punching harder than punch. Her martial arts skills are higher than Lu Renxing's, and her light skills are even higher than his. In addition, Lu Renxing was injured in one hand and lost too much blood, and the speed of dodging was getting slower and slower.

"Listen to me, your master is actually your father, and your mother was killed by your father, don't you really want to know?"

In response, he was hit with a punch in the face, a tightly clenched fist, a fist that drove the fist with wrist force, and the fist was punched to the flesh. Even if you listen closely, you can hear a small sound of bones cracking.

A punch hit him in the stomach, which was the softest and most vulnerable part of the body, and he lost almost half of his resistance. The bloody palm covered his abdomen, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person seemed to be a devil bathed in blood.

"You, listen to me, Xue Pan is not a good thing, and what happened to the Xia family also has his involvement. He had already gotten together with Xia Jingui, and the co-authors wanted to divorce you and marry you again. ”

"Bah" punched him in the chest, and Lu Renxing flew out, like a burlap bag leaking, looking so desolate.

"Yes, it's true, your brothers in the cottage were killed. It's Xue Pan's hand, and it's only hiding from you. "Lu Renxing is really going to cry, this mountain acacia is much more difficult to deal with than her master. Doesn't it mean that people in the mountains are honest and easily deceived? Who said it, stand up, you can't kill a liar.

A mouthful of blood foamed out, and Lu Renxing only had half a life left, lying on the ground, unable to get up, let alone dodge. The mountain acacia went up and kicked several times, but he couldn't even roll until he stopped.

With a pull around her waist, a soft rope appeared in her hand, directly tying him up strongly. Then she began to stare at her feet, as if she was about to take off her shoes, and she hesitated. In the end, he looked happy and kicked off Lu Renxing's shoes.

Pulled out his socks and gagged his mouth, smoked Lu Renxing wanted to vomit but couldn't spit it out, his whole face was distorted and almost out of place. At this time, Grandma Xue touched her ears and eyes and pulled out two tampons.

Lu Renxing has the heart to cry to death, no wonder she has not responded to what she said, and she has been blocking her ears. But now I can't say it, he has a stinky sock in his mouth.

Grandma Xue brought the tired horse over, removed the golden needle from its hips, and comforted it for a long time, before throwing Lu Renxing on the horse's back and fixing the reins on the horse's back.

"Let's go, it is said that the old horse knows the way, you should be able to find your master."

Grandma Xue turned around in a chic manner, and she brushed away quite something, hiding a sense of grandeur of merit and fame.
