Chapter 16: The Trap

The smoke in the east chamber has not disappeared, and the fire in the west chamber is terrifying.

The servant guarding the cotton warehouse of the Jin family slammed the door open with a "bang" before he could knock on the door, and rushed into the main hall with a crawling and shouting. His face was terrified, the six scarves around his head had fallen somewhere, and his hair was covered with hay mustard.

"Master, it's not good!"

The man's voice trembled, and he was afraid of the cold. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", and his forehead hit the cold ground with a "bang", and after a while, patches of bruises oozed.

"Presumptuous!"

Jin Chi glanced at Li Zhidi's fat face with a sarcastic look, his own servant was really angry that he was so rude. Taking a deep breath, Jin Chi turned around and lifted Erlang's legs, and was about to answer the question, but saw that something was wrong with Father-in-law Fan.

The sudden appearance of the servant really startled Gonggong Fan, he shook his eyes imperceptibly, and the long sword that was originally stabbed at Linlang's right shoulder also shook in front of everyone's eyes, and only this time it changed its original direction and stabbed straight into the throat.

It is difficult to collect the water, and those who know a little about martial arts here can see that it is too late for Grandpa Fan to stop now.

Linlang knew that if a normal martial arts practitioner wanted to kill someone, ordinary people would have no power to fight back, and even the courage to raise their arms to block would be lost. Besides, Fan Gonggong deliberately tried to test it, and the deviation of the tip of the sword was at most just a scratch of the skin. This is really true to everyone, and naturally no one cares.

It's just that the situation has completely changed at this moment!

Father-in-law Fan "inadvertently" deviated the tip of the sword in surprise, so that even if Linlang died, he could find a reason to push it on the servant who had no eyes. He concluded that Jin Jiawan would not turn his face with Dongchang because of a little maid! Besides, now, Jin Chi doesn't have that ability!

Linlang closed her eyes in despair, her eyes trembling. She can't resist, and once she dodges, it's a dead end. It's just that at this moment, even if Linlang stands in place under the hands of the Fan Guild, is it merciful?

Chi Jingfei, what a borrowed knife to kill!

Linlang looked away from the tip of the sword and looked at Chi Jingfei. Her eyes were surprised and her mouth was open, and she didn't show any flaws. With such a heart, this woman is definitely not simple!

And the third aunt who was sitting next to Chi Jingfei, the expression on her face was even more unpredictable, her eyebrows were tightly locked and bent like a bridge, her red lips were lightly pursed into a line, and a pair of sleeping phoenix eyes looked out of the door hesitantly, as if she was looking forward to something.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Just when the tip of Father-in-law Fan's sword was less than a foot away from Linlang, everyone's hearts "pounded" to their throats. Yu Shan's rough right hand caressed his waist, where he had never revealed a sharp edge, and Jin Chi quietly reached into his arms, holding the musket, everything ready to go.

Li Zhidi squinted, smiling rather than smiling. At this point, the plan was completely successful, and he was just waiting for the final judgment of Jinchi!

Suddenly, a black shadow "whoosh" broke in, and the fast people didn't have time to react to what was happening, he was masked, and his body was tightly restrained in black, capable and agile. In such a mixed situation, the man was at ease, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out violently, slamming up under Fan Gonggong's armpit, and sliding directly to the outstretched arm.

Yu Yan patted his waist and was about to take down the man in black, but he was held down by Jin Chi.

That Xiangfan Gonggong quickly weighed in his heart, if he took Linlang's life, he would also take an arm. The exchange is extremely uneconomical. Instantly, Fan Gonggong was sure in his heart. With a strong stomp of the right leg, the body soared into the air, and spun around in the air to unload the previous momentum. Then, he raised his arm and turned around and stabbed at the man in black.

It's just that there is still the shadow of the man in black at this time. In the main hall where the needles fell, Mrs. Chi's screams were still lingering, and her heavy breathing was intertwined, which made this sudden change even more weird.

"Contemptible people pick flowers and promote kindness, I don't like eunuchs to destroy flowers!"

The merciless limerick came from the rooftop, saying that Grandpa Fan's old face was hot, as if he had been slapped by someone after eating a green-headed fly, and his face suddenly changed red and white.

"How can it be!" Father-in-law Fan knew that he couldn't hold his face, so he gritted his teeth and squeezed out four words and chased him out in the air.

"Since there is something in your mansion, then the official will not bother! Besides, Linlang's matter can be regarded as a family matter, I think Brother Jin will definitely give this official a satisfactory answer! ”

Li Zhidi looked at the disappearing figure of Gonggong Fan and sighed in his heart, sure enough, the eunuch was still anxious. He tightened his neckline, looked down at the servant who was still kneeling and kowtowing, sneered at the corners of his mouth, waved his hand, shook his head and strode away. At the end, he left a threatening word: "Brother Jin will not disappoint this official!" ”

Jin Chi squinted his eyes and glared at Li Zhidi's back, that fat body always inadvertently picked out something to disgust himself. Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, the cold wind poured in from the door, mixed with the sound of whirring, revealing a domineering chill, slowly freezing the anger in Jin Chi's heart. He never expected that it would be such a result, Li Zhidi didn't seem to care about Linlang's affairs. Barely sitting here just to watch a joke.

Chi Jingfei stroked her willow eyebrows, and looked down at the sad Jin Chi. said faintly, "This, the New Year's Day, is really ...... It's a good thing it's a false alarm. ”

Suddenly, Jin Chi remembered that today was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he had forgotten such a grand festival. Right! The old lady should be guarded to eat dumplings and celebrate the New Year!

"Burning guns for the New Year!"

The loud voice of the golden pond echoed over the courtyard and reverberated in the golden house. As soon as the words were finished, the servant who had been waiting in the courtyard jumped excitedly. They cheered and jumped, not noticing the fire in the south of the city and the noise of people.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Jin Chi had already put his heart on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the tea in his hand was at the right temperature, and he drank it up. glanced at Zhang Er, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, thinking that he had gone to the grass nest again to offend which girl, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Old, sir, lost ...... There was a fire! ”

Jin Chi was stared at when he heard this, and the teacup in his hand flew towards Zhang Er's head. The teacup cut a deep wound on Zhang Er's forehead, and then fell to the ground and shattered.

Faced with the sudden arrival of the teacup, Zhang Er couldn't hide, and he didn't dare to hide. I could only watch the teacups go from far to near. There was a fiery stinging pain in the corner of his forehead, followed by a salty smell of warm liquid.

"Not good!"

Jin Chi suddenly remembered that there were other things in the cotton warehouse, and these things were far more valuable than cotton! He jerked up from his chair and rushed to the barn with an angry roar. The chair behind him was slammed into the back wall with a strong force, and the redwood wood, which had not been damaged for decades, actually cracked.

Chi Jingfei and the third aunt each got up and walked out, and after glancing at each other, they hesitated at the same time.

"Three ......" Chi Jingfei paused, patted the corner of her forehead, and added again: "Auntie!" Then, Wan Er smiled and deliberately glanced at the third aunt, "There are some things that can't be rushed, otherwise it will backfire!" ”

"Humph!" The third aunt scoffed, "This sentence should be said to you!" ”

This room is a confrontation of secret words, and that room is noisy.

"Let go of me! Let me go! You flower thief! ”

Linlang was hijacked by the man in black and ran wildly all the way, and his fist smashed on the back of the man in black like a drumbeat. It wasn't until the Wangxiang Pavilion in Xiqiu that she was put down by the man and regained her freedom.

"Why don't you stay in the mountains and come down and mix with the muddy waters? What if something happens? What kind of flower thief is it, it's really shameless! Faced with such a situation, Linlang not only did not get nervous, but slowly sorted out her clothes, and did not forget to pout her lips in her spare time, and glanced at the man in black a few times.

"If something happens to you, it's really something!" The man in black also couldn't stop laughing, he slowly reached out to lift the veil, revealing an angular and fair and handsome face, and his tone was full of reproach but more concern. "Come back with me! It's really not for you! ”

"No!"

Linlang shook her head firmly, she leaned down against the solid stone and looked into the distance, where the fireworks were blooming and colorful. Nancheng, which has always been quiet, is also in flames at this time, and it looks crowded from a distance.

Linlang thought that the noisy Nancheng had exploded at this time, and the guards guarding the city were carrying large wooden barrels back and forth through the chaotic crowd. Basins of cold water poured on the raging fire like moths to a fire, only to pour out a small black spot, and it was quickly filled with flames. When Jin Chi rushed to the cotton barn, the tide was gone, and only the gurgling smoke came out of the dark windows.

"Who did it!"

Jin Chi's steel teeth clenched, and the green tendons like a dragon burst out on his neck.

"Who did itβ€”β€”!"

At the right time, the first fireworks in the Golden Mansion exploded in the air, blooming a gorgeous peony to illuminate the entire Golden City. Immediately afterwards, the East City became lively one after another, and colorful fireworks bloomed, bringing joy to this dreary Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Zhidi sat in the Taishi chair with a pipe in his mouth, squinting at the brocade in the east of the city. The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he knocked on the ash of his cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Let's go! It's time to give Mr. Kim a second surprise! ”
