Chapter 349: Antecedents and Consequences

Everything that looks good in the world is full of dangers, and even more can bring destruction, and when the juggling class performs, I don't know who exclaims, "There are snakes!" ”

The shouting was definitely not from the Pinxiang Pavilion, and the rest of the people in the Pinxiang Pavilion were all attentive to the performance, and there was no attention to whether there were snakes at all, and the people who shouted would not be scared but warned.

The snake is really there, and it goes straight to the seven people lying on the ground, straight to come, and the snake does not dare to approach, because the snake is afraid of fire, and the fire shines This snake swam halfway to turn to the Pinxiang Pavilion.

The snake is completely black, no matter how you look at it, Cao Jinxiang saw that the black snake was thick and long, and his face was blue with fright, and everyone was frightened and hurriedly retreated to the Pinxiang Pavilion, and the first person who was frightened when the snake appeared was not the people in the Pinxiang Pavilion, it was the seven people who performed it, although the snake did not come to them, but it was indeed in this direction for them before.

The seven people were lying on the ground for the cylinder, the people were lying on the ground parallel to the sight of the black snake, they were already scared of their souls, and the first reaction of people was to panic, who still had the heart to turn the cylinder in a hurry, and the seven people kicked the cylinder at the same time, and there was no unified direction when the cylinder was kicked under the tension, and some of the cylinders were kicked into the flower garden, and the flower garden was burned to a piece.

Some cylinders kicked down the aisle and rolled a few times until the stone fence of the aisle was broken, the crushed fire of the aisle continued to burn, and the fire that broke in the aisle was fortunately not burning anything, but some of the cylinders rolled directly to the direction of the Pinxiang Pavilion, and the fire shattered when it hit the stairs, and the fragments flew into the Pinxiang Pavilion high and splashed high.

As soon as the curtain in the incense pavilion touched the fire, of course, there were snakes and torches, and everyone was frightened and overwhelmed.

In the panic, Pan Qi is the calmest one, after all, he is a martial lieutenant, and he has learned martial arts and has a greater spirit than others, the snake swam over Pan Qi was not frightened, but protected Shen Zhang into the hall first, and when he got to the hall, Pan Qi broke a table foot, and held it in his hand, as long as the snake dared to enter the hall, Pan Qi could fight with it.

The snake came to the Pinxiang Pavilion, and you can see how the firelight will come when it suddenly rises, and the snake tail swings into the flower garden and there is no snake shadow.

Seeing that the snake didn't come, Pan Qi took the lead and said, "Put out the fire first!" ”

Tao Simin and the panicked people came back to their senses, and were busy extinguishing the fire snake that was raging with the curtains, one curtain was extinguished, and the other two curtains were rising, Tao Simin shouted, "Call someone over"

"Yes, Childe" someone hurriedly rushed out of the door.

The person who rushed out of the door was kicked in the stomach, flew in from outside the door and knocked down the tea table, and a figure turned out of the window on Tao Zongyuan's left, this person was wearing a night coat and holding a sharp sword in his hand.

When the night walker saw Tao Zongyuan, the fierce light in his eyes was revealed, and he shouted: "Take your life!" ”

The night walker stabbed Tao Zongyuan with a sword incomparable, Tao Simin was in front of the fire and it was difficult to help Tao Zongyuan with his free hands, Tao Simin didn't learn martial arts and didn't have much kung fu, but when he saw Tao Zongyuan in danger, he still ran over desperately.

Tao Simin wanted to save Tao Zongyuan but the distance was too far away and he was not in a hurry to run fast pan qi saw that the man was fierce with a sword but he knew at a glance that although he had practiced martial arts, he was only

It's three-legged cat kung fu, Pan Qi still has half a table leg in his hand, he uses the table leg as a sword and slams the man's long sword, the night walker hurts and the long sword staggers to the ground, Pan Qi spreads his wings and jumps over the man's backhand, and the man faints to the ground.

As soon as the night clothes were faint, Ge Yuquan exclaimed, "Shu Lan! ”

Tao Zongyuan looked in the direction of Ge Yuquan, Ge Yuquan was behind Tao Zongyuan, only to see Ge Yuquan half-squatting on the ground, Ge Shulan lying in Ge Yuquan's arms, Ge Shulan didn't know when to knock, and his forehead was open.

Ge Shulan stumbled because when the night walker assassinated Tao Zongyuan with a sword, Ge Shulan stumbled because he was afraid of retreating, and his body slammed on the corner of the table and broke his forehead.

The previous subordinate didn't call someone, but the housekeeper Zhang Qian led the family into the house to put out the fire, the fire was extinguished, and the panic calmed down.

Seeing such a burn, Tao Zongyuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and asked people to quickly help Ge Shulan go down to heal.

The riot stopped, Tao Zongyuan stood in the courtyard of the main hall, the maids and the juggling class in the house knelt on the ground, Zhang Qian came over at this time and said in a panic, "Master, the black snake is hiding in the flower garden for us to kill"

When the words fell, Zhang Qian leaned over to Tao Zongyuan's ear and said, "Master, the prince is here."

Shen Jiancheng led Dai Qian into the main courtyard in a hurry, and seeing that many people were kneeling, Shen Jiancheng directly asked Tao Zongyuan, "Tao Gong!" You want to murder Miss Cao! ”

Tao Zongyuan was in a panic, knelt down and said in a rao voice: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, even if the grass people eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, they don't dare to murder Miss Cao!" ”

Shen Zhang also took two steps forward and said, "The prince can't help but say this, this is all an accident."

Shen Jiancheng sneered, "Accident? Is this the middle of nowhere? Or an abandoned house with incomplete walls? If it weren't for someone bringing the snake in, how did such a big snake sneak in? ”

Tao Zongyuan trembled and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter is being investigated."

Shen Jiancheng also didn't want to talk nonsense with Tao Zongyuan, "Where is Miss Cao"

Tao Zongyuan hurriedly said, "Steward Zhang, take the prince to visit Miss Cao"

"Yes," Zhang Qian winced and led Shen Jiancheng away.

Shen Jiancheng left, and Pan Qi said at this time, "Gong Tao, what the prince said is also right, such a big snake will never climb the wall by itself, right?" ”

Tao Simin stepped forward to help Tao Zongyuan get up, Tao Zongyuan said angrily, "This thing is really strange, don't say such a big snake, even a small snake has never been seen before."

Pan Qi had been humiliated by Tao Zongyuan before, and took the opportunity to get his breath back, Pan Qi said to Shen Zhang, "Da Situ, the Tao family has really been unlucky recently, Situ should go back home first"

"You!" Tao Simin was so angry that he couldn't speak, and Shen Zhang didn't want to stay and leave with Pan Qi.

Cao Yu stepped forward at this time and said, "Tao Gong, the prince has come over and must give an answer."

Tao Zongyuan nodded yes, and Cao Yu said to Cao Jinxiang at this time, "You go back"

Cao Jinxiang didn't want to leave when he saw the prince coming over and wanted to get closer, and Cao Yu didn't care what Cao Jinxiang had in mind to forcibly send him back to the house.

Tao Simin said, "Dad, this snake must have been brought by the night walker."

There is no need for Tao Simin to say that Tao Zongyuan also knows, Tao Zongyuan grinded his teeth and said, "Bring people over"

Tao Simin hurriedly went to bring someone over angrily.

Zhang Qian led Shen Jiancheng outside the room, Shen Jiancheng's face seemed to be about to eat people, and when he arrived at the door, he restrained his anger and entered, "How is she?" ”

Ge Yuquan was sitting on the edge of the couch guarding Ge Shulan, and when he saw Shen Jiancheng coming over and wanted to get up and salute, Shen Jiancheng waved his hand to signal, "No need to be polite"

Ge Yuquan thanked him and said, "It's okay if the doctor comes to see it, but the person hasn't woken up yet."

Shen Jiancheng was sad and saw that his forehead was wrapped around Ge Shulan and said, "Send people back to the house first, this king wants to see what Tao Gong has to say."

Reflexively departed at the moment.

The night walker's face towel has been removed, and Pan Qi woke up from the unconscious before, this person was wearing a night walker to make people kneel on the ground, Tao Zongyuan looked at people with a pair of eyes and asked coldly, "Who are you, why did you assassinate me?" ”

The night walker spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm to Tao Zongyuan.

The night walker asked his subordinates to hold down the thick phlegm and didn't spit far, just in front of the tip of Tao Zongyuan's shoes, Tao Simin saw the person kicking in front of the person like this, "Don't tell the truth!" ”

Shen Jiancheng approached at this time, and everyone saluted.

Shen Jiancheng excused everyone from courtesy, and looked at the night walker, "Who is he?" ”

Cao Yu said at this time: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this person is hard-mouthed and refuses to tell the truth."

Seeing this, Shen Jiancheng immediately shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you have to be the master of the grass people!" ”

Tao Simin frowned at this time and asked, "You let the snake hurt people and stabbed my father, and you dare to shout injustice!" ”

"Why don't you dare!" The Night Walker replied angrily.

Shen Jiancheng's face is like frost and looks at people, "call the shots?" Tell me what grievances there are? ”

The night walker gritted his teeth and glared at Tao Zongyuan angrily, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Tao Zongyuan is a civil non-official, and he overstepped his identity to privately judge the case for the people, a few months ago, the younger brother asked the Tao Mansion to escort him home, and the younger brother said that Tao Zongyuan asked him to discount my leg with his own hands, and the younger brother didn't want to hurt me, but he discounted his leg, you say it's not angry!" ”

Shen Jiancheng raised his eyebrows at Tao Zongyuan, "What's going on?" ”

As soon as this person said that Tao Zongyuan remembered that there was such a thing, Lu Kai also knew about it, and the last time he invited Lu Kai to come over, he happened to see Tao Zongyuan judging the case for the people.

Tao Zongyuan said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, here's the thing, Niu San had a quarrel with his brother, he led people to discount Niu San's legs, he escaped after beating people, we caught his brother, the so-called one report and one report, Niu San's legs can not work in the field, what livelihood does the family have, I heard that the grass people were furious about this matter, and they dealt with the matter privately"
