Two days later, Li Keding bid farewell to his master Puyun, said goodbye to his third uncle and third aunt, and took a carriage with his sister Kejing to Beijing with Xia Huanqing.

On this day, the group entered the city of Beijing. Xia Huanqing rode a horse to escort, Li Keding and Li Kejing sat on the carriage, because the weather was hot, the curtain was wide open, and the brother and sister came to the capital for the first time, and everything was fresh. Li Kejing couldn't stop asking. Seeing that he was about to arrive home not far ahead, Li Keding suddenly saw a person running wildly, and behind him there were three people chasing with knives in their hands.

Li Kejing is a thirteen-year-old girl, where has she seen this, and she threw herself into her brother's arms with an exclamation. Li Keding hurriedly hugged his sister, the master who was driving the car had already stopped the car and did not dare to go any further, Xia Huanqing took the horse to protect the car. Li Keding said to his sister: "Don't be afraid, there is a big brother here!" At this time, everyone only heard the screams again and again, Li Keding reached out to block his sister's ears, raised his eyes and saw that the man was covered in blood, until the last knife stabbed into the chest, the man fell to the ground, and soon stopped moving.

The three murderers put away their knives, looked around, and walked away. After another while, Li Keding saw that some people were coming over, and vaguely heard that it was the second young master of the Yue family who died, why was his heart so chaotic now. While everyone was watching, Xia Huanqing hurriedly asked the master to drive forward, and hurriedly walked over with the brother and sister.

Soon arrived at Li's house, Xia Huanqing finished explaining and went back to his home. Li Kejing was still frightened and refused to leave in his mother's arms. After Li Keding told his mother and second aunt what he saw on the road, Tang Zhen said to Li Keding: "If you encounter such a thing in the future, if there is no adult present, remember to take your sister to avoid it early." Li Keding agreed.

Ke Jing slowly came to her senses, straightened up and asked, "Who is the second young master of the Yue family?" Before Tang Zhen could answer, someone came to report and said: "Back to the two ladies, Yue Rufeng, the second young master of the Yue family, was killed on the road just now. Tang Zhen said: "We already know. Do you know who killed the murderer? What is the reason? The subordinate replied: "I heard that Yue Rufeng had a dispute with someone in Bada Hutong, and the people over there chased him all the way and asked for his life. When Tang Zhen heard this, she didn't want to ask more, but only ordered, "Go down." ”

Li Kejing was already calm and asked, "What is the place of Bada Hutong?" Tang Zhen listened to the simplicity of her niece's question, and said, "That's an unclean place." Then he commanded Li Keding, "Go out in the future and hide from that place." Li Keding nodded and agreed. Tang Zhen comforted Li Kejing again and said: "Good boy, if something like this happens, it has nothing to do with our family, so don't be afraid." Yue Rufeng is a gentleman, and it is not uncommon for him to have such an ending. Hey, you don't know, Yue Rufeng and the eldest lady of the Lu family in Hejian have just gotten married, and it's only been a few days, so it's strange that they go to that kind of place. So you must remember that you can't learn it. After Li Kejing heard this, his starry eyes flashed, and he smiled at his brother and said, "You have written it down, but you can't learn it." Li Keding said: "Don't worry, I will be a hero, and I will never be a gentleman!" Kejing's mother, Tao Shi, saw that her nephew was quite ambitious, so she said: "Keding, good job." The second aunt knows that you must not be an unscrupulous person, study hard, and you will be able to shine on the lintel in the future. ”

Li Kejing asked his mother Tao again: "Yue Rufeng's death, isn't the eldest lady of the Lu family going to remarry?" Tao looked at his daughter with a smile and said: "If a woman wants to remarry, it is not as easy as you think, the Yue family is a big family, and there are many rules." What's more, the old lady of the Lu family pays the most attention to face, and it is difficult for the eldest lady of the Lu family to remarry. Li Kejing asked puzzledly: "I died my husband just a few days after I got married, is it wrong to remarry?" Dow replied: "It's right to want to remarry, there is a reason to remarry; It's not wrong not to let you remarry, they also have a reason not to let you remarry. Nowadays, when the old and new concepts are intertwined, it seems very chaotic, and there are no certain rules to follow. Tang Zhen also said: "Yes, today's chaos is really a change unseen in a thousand years. ”

When Li Keding first arrived in Beijing, he encountered such an incident, so he felt that Beijing lacked sages, so the people's customs were not right, and it was far less peaceful than the river. Since then, whether you go to and from school or go out with your sister, you always have to be careful.
