A crescent moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight poured like mercury on the hard dirt road.

The village is extraordinarily quiet at night, with gusts of cold wind blowing the winter weeds, blowing through the rough tree trunks, accompanied by the occasional barking of dogs, bringing the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Sun Cheng spent the day reviewing his homework in the study before returning to the bedroom.

Just as he was about to undress and go to bed, he suddenly heard a loud barking of dogs outside, and there was a faint and violent knock on the door.

"Go out and ask personally."

A maid ran out with a cloak, Sun Jie'er heard the knock on the door more and more urgently, couldn't wait for the girl to come back, and hurriedly came out with a coat.

Halfway through, the little girl ran over and said, "There is something urgent at the door to go back to the uncle."

Sun Jian thought it was Jinyiwei's important matter, but the eldest brother Sun Yu was not at home, so he ordered: "Don't shout, don't wake up the old lady, I'll go out and take a look."

Hurrying to the front door, he asked, "What's the matter?"

The steward on the door said, "It was the fifth young master of the Shen family who was broken."

"What? Open the door. Sun Jia was taken aback.

The door creaked open, and I saw Shen Kan, who was covering his mouth, embarrassed, and walked in and said in a trembling voice: "Brother..."

Sun Ji hurriedly stepped forward to help him and asked, "Who hurt you?"

"Alas!" Shen Kan let out a long sigh.

Shen An, who came along, explained: "The little ones went to the dock to pick up the young masters and go home, because they were late, the fifth young master and the young master were halfway there, and they were stopped by three or four people, so they had to invite them to eat and drink. The fifth young master saw that he didn't know each other on weekdays and refused to go, so those people moved their hands and feet, and said some inconsequential things. In the chaos, the fifth young master and the others fought, but more than a dozen people emerged from the woods, fortunately, the little ones arrived and desperately protected the fifth young master, but the young master was snatched away by them, and he came to ask Sun Gongzi to call the shots!"

Sun Ji guessed that it should be Wang Laosan who did it, and deliberately said "strange", and immediately called four or five family members and ordered: "You go and secretly find out who it is, don't make trouble, go and go back quickly."

helped Shen Kan into the study, and under the light, he saw that a piece of oily skin was scratched on his face, his nose was bloodied, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were torn.

"Go get some water."

"It's fine."

Shen Kan stretched out his hand to comb his hair, but he touched a large handful, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This hair is too much of a hindrance, and I can't fight back if I am dragged down." ”

"Okay!" Seeing that he was injured, Sun Jian was not aggrieved at all, and smiled, "It's a man." ”

"That's it." Shen Kan smiled.

The little guy came in with a basin of water, and Shen Kan went over to wash his face and comb his hair, and he didn't need to hurt the medicine, but asked for a boiled egg.

Seeing this, Sun Jian said, "Cook some gruel, make a few side dishes, and wine."

Seeing Shen Kan peeling his shell unhurriedly and covering his face with a white egg, Sun Jian said, "Don't be angry, I'll fix these people for you."

"I didn't dare to alarm my parents with this kind of thing, so I had to come to my brother late at night for help." Shen Kan put down the egg, "It's all my negligence, I got the news of my brother, I hid for a few days and thought it was okay, who knew that those bastards were so patient." ”

"That scoundrel plucked Wang Laosan in public, how can he stop?" Sun Jian couldn't help but complain a little, "I said that I asked my eldest brother to send a few brocade guards to warn, but you said that you have some friendship with Wang Laosan, and you don't want to tear your face, otherwise how can you suffer such a big loss?"

"yes!" Shen Kan sighed.

Sun Jian didn't notice that there was half a look of regret on his face at the moment? When he saw that the food was delivered, he entertained him with the meal.

Shen Kan took two bites, looked up and asked, "They didn't catch me, so they shouldn't do anything to my brother, right?"

"It's hard to say." Sun Jia frowned, "Even if you call the county's patrol fast hand on this big night, eighty percent of them can't help the Wang family, and ten ** people have to suffer a big loss." ”

"A scholar of the Eight Classics, could it be that Wang Laosan dare he?"

"What disgusting things can't those people do? But don't worry, show the identities of our two families, forgive him and don't dare to be rude. ”

"That's good." Shen Kan breathed a sigh of relief, "Suffering is a small matter, but a big thing." ”

Just talking, half an hour later, the Sun family came back and said: "It's Wang San's who did it, let's go to Wang's house, and the family said that no one is there." Later, an accomplice was arrested and forced to find out his whereabouts, which was in a nearby house. The little ones rushed to ask them to hand over people immediately, and they said that Young Master Shen was carrying a dagger, and he had injured two people just now, and this Liang Zi couldn't hand over people if he didn't tie the knot. ”

"And hurt someone?" Sun Daqi.

Shen Kan nodded and said, "In order to be prepared, I brought a dagger with me, and it seemed that someone was scratched in the dark night, and the dagger was lost."

"Oh." Sun Jian asked again, "How is the other party's injury?"

"It's not heavy, it's just that I saw a little blood, and Wang Laosan's gang suffered a loss and quit." The steward said.

"These brutes are so hateful." Sun Cheng was angry, "I don't even care about the Sun family, isn't it just relying on the friendship of my grandparents!" Why do you want Jinyiwei to deal with him, the villagers are not good-looking, but if you don't deal with him, this tone is really unbearable. ”

Shen Kan said with a sad face: "It's okay to say tonight, if Shen Qi doesn't go home tomorrow, he will alarm the elders in the family, and it will be troublesome."

The steward said: "There is no need to alarm the Jinyi Guard, just Shen Gongzi sent someone to deliver a robbery report overnight, hand it over to the town's arresting office, and then call the place to make a report, and my young master only needs to send a post to the yamen." The little ones ran for half the night, and if we didn't beat those splashes, even a few of us who went out would not be decent. ”

Sun Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Then go and arrange it." Go and see tomorrow morning, and don't show up. ”

Shen Kan said with a worried face: "I hope my brother will not suffer from 'skin and flesh'."

"No, it won't." Sun Cheng comforted, "Everyone is hurt, such a big thing, he Wang Laosan still dares to do nonsense?" At most, their hands and feet were tied up for a night, and they were just a little guilty. ”

"That's good." Shen Kan turned around, with a strange look of regret on his face.

At this moment, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, Sun Wei arranged for Shen Kan to sleep in the study, and he returned to the inner house without saying anything all night.

Early in the morning of the second day, the housekeeper of the Sun family accompanied Shen An to receive the name card and wait to go to the arrest office. Not long after, he came back with a group of messengers who were hunting for the ya.

"Young master, the local government has already made a report, and the arresting government has sent more than a dozen fast people to get people, please ask the young master to command."

Shen Kan doesn't understand these processes, it is estimated that the so-called arrest is equivalent to the police station, the victim goes to report the case, the local government will issue a certificate, and then the Sun family will help to suppress people with power, otherwise the government would have such a high efficiency.

Sun Cheng said, "Call them in."

Shen Kan looked at a group of errand people holding iron rulers and other guys, usually high-spirited, but at the moment they looked respectful, and they saluted as soon as they came in.

Sun Cheng said in a deep voice: "You can't say that I instigated it, that Wang San has been rampant in the township for many years, you might as well wait for him to blackmail him with some silver, this time you can't let him go easily." It's almost the New Year, and you should take more benefits from him. Come on, two taels of silver to give the big guy tea. ”

The emperor didn't send hungry soldiers, and Shen Kan also said: "And my two taels of errand money." Ladies and gentlemen, if your brother is in the hands of the wicked man, you must bring him back at once. ”

"Thank you two sons for the reward."

The messengers thanked them again and again, and said in their hearts that the children of the big clan were really particular and went happily.

Besides, last night, a group of splashes stopped people halfway, but who knew that the target was carrying a murder weapon, and they didn't agree with each other, and they rushed to hurt people first.

There was a messy fight, and when the people ran away, they carried the drunken Shen Kui back and told Wang Laosan that Shen Kan was taken away by the Shen family.

Wang Laosan was originally very disappointed, but when he saw that Shen Yu was still alive, he was very excited, and ordered someone to tie him to a pillar in the courtyard.

These people lit the torches, waited for the Sun family to leave, thought they had won, and coaxed Wang Laosan to ask someone to take out the wine and food to celebrate, but the banquet could not stand their turn of praise, Wang Laosan was half drunk, and ordered someone to loosen the dazed Shen Qi and put it on the bed in the house.

With such a scream, in the laughter and whistle of the splashers, the unlucky Shen Kui was opened.

Shen Qi, who was flying in trouble, wanted to cry without tears, his buttocks were in hot pain, he was by Wang Laosan until the fourth watch, he was tired, he was also tired, he was hugged by Wang Laosan in a daze, and the two fell asleep.

Everyone staggered to sleep in the hall, and slept until the next day. After waking up, I waited for a long time, only to wait for two pots of yellow rice porridge, a bowl of pickles, and not even a hot dish.

The others grabbed something to eat, and whispered to the elder man: "Hehe, this matter is not trivial, that kid is actually a prisoner, more troublesome than Shen Lao Wu, the Shen family will definitely not give up."

"I don't think so." The elder shook his head, "Shen Lao Wu may not dare to alarm his own parents, if he chooses to be private, then he doesn't want to be known and loses his adult, so he may put it back, and it will be gone." ”

"Yes." The thief's eyebrows and mouse eyes felt funny, "Last night, I was screaming at first, but then he didn't scream anymore, and it was a good thing to touch, and I gradually tasted the sweetness." Maybe in this way, he has become a brother and brother. ”

The elder sighed: "In the end, we don't have an identity, and we can't make trouble, so let's forget it."

"Forget it?" The thief eyebrows pointed at his accomplices, "Mother's brother was born and died for him, he got cheap, and he just entertained us like this when he turned around?" No, I can't swallow that. ”

"So what else can you do? Slaughtered the man surnamed Shen in the house?"

"Not really, how dare I?"

As he was talking, there was a sudden bang, and the door was kicked open, and more than a dozen wolf-like poor people walked in outside.
