The rain in the north usually comes and goes, and there are few times when it lingers.

But this time, I don't know if it stabbed Lei Gong's nest, and it rained for two days, until the water in the ditch was gradually about to overflow the causeway, and it finally cleared.

Chen Xing wiped the sweat from his head.

After he left Baoding Mansion, he hurried his horse and whipped, did not dare to stay at all, and rushed to the capital with a desperate horse.

It wasn't until he entered the door of Desheng Gate, and looked at the lively scene in the city, that he was sure that he had really crawled out of the terrible hell of the casino.

After a day and a night's running, coupled with a rain and no time to change clothes, he was groggy and lightheaded at the moment, and the people below looked at his face wrong, and hurriedly asked him if he wanted to rest first.

He shook his head and said without saying a word: "Don't stop, go home!" ”

was supposed to escort the master back to his hometown, but now that the master is dead, but he is still alive, it is natural how miserable and miserable it can be, so that Xiao Wenjun can feel better.

He beat his horse and galloped.

Xiao Wenjun was talking to Xiao Zhengxuan about the exam: "Although you are already a lifter, but this year's exam is because it coincides with the enke of Shengshang's whole life, so there are more people who come to take the exam than in previous years, so many people, only the first three hundred people are taken, your article, the heat is still not enough." Let's go to Xishan Temple. ”

Xiao Zhengxuan asked himself whether he had some talent in reading, but in front of his father, he naturally couldn't compare, he knew it in his heart, but when he heard his father say this, he was still a little strange: "Go to Xishan Temple?" ”

Xiao Wenjun snorted: "The abbot of Xishan Temple, Wenxiu, is a well-known virtuous person, but what is not known is that his old man is also the third yuan and the first of the previous dynasty, such a person, if he is willing to teach you a thing or two, you will definitely try to achieve something." ”

Xiao Zhengxuan naturally had nowhere to know this, and when he heard his father mention it, he was a little surprised for a while: "Since the opening of the imperial examination, the Sanyuan and the first dynasties have been extremely rare, and this abbot of Wenxiu ...... What a character. ”

Xiao Wenjun didn't want to say more about this matter, but just advised: "After you go, learn from the abbot well, and don't inquire about the rest." ”

The two fathers and sons were talking, and someone from the concierge suddenly came to report that Chen Xing had returned.

Xiao Wenjun's words stopped, and he frowned unhappily.

Xiao Zhengxuan's first reaction was that Xiao Zhengnan must have caused some trouble on the road again.

Originally, Xiao Zhengnan was reluctant to go back to his hometown, and with only one housekeeper to follow, it was possible that Xiao Zhengnan could not be suppressed.

He first advised his father: "Don't be angry, Zhengnan is still young, just wait until he grows up." ”

"It's a failure!" Xiao Wenjun had a headache: "You are only three years older than him, but now you can already try, he is good, and he is more and more out of order!" There must have been some kind of trouble coming back. ”

The news of this matter in the capital has been spreading recently, Chen Siye hid at home after resigning, and he heard that he was seriously ill, and he was supposed to return to his hometown immediately, but he was delayed.

That's it, where is the punishment for letting Xiao Zhengnan go home? It was clearly protecting him, so as not to anger the Chen family.

This idiot, but he doesn't know what to do.

Xiao Wen was so handsome that he put away his eldest son's homework, and asked Chen Xing to be called to the flower hall, and he rushed over with his eldest son.

didn't see Xiao Zhengnan, Xiao Zhengxuan sighed in his heart: "Zhengnan ran away by himself?" ”

It's no wonder that Xiao Zhengxuan asked so, it's really that Xiao Zhengnan is usually used to doing whatever he wants, and he does this kind of thing.

Xiao Wenjun's face was also very bad: "How do you guys do things?!" ”

His tone was already a little bad, Chen Xing's lips trembled, he lay on the ground and kowtowed three times at once, and his forehead immediately turned purple.

Seeing that people were scared like this, Xiao Wenjun sighed again, he also knew his son's temper, since he left with anger, where could the people below stop him?

He calmed down and asked, "What about people?" ”

Chen Xing knelt on the ground and closed his eyes, his heart was crossed: "Master, eldest young master, second young master has an accident!" ”

He tried his best to restrain his fright, and said the events of the day again, still raising his head with some fear: "Master, I really never thought that a gambling house could be arrogant to this point, the scene at that time was not that the villain did not risk his life to save the second young master, but that there was really no chance." The people there simply don't know how to train it, and they don't even listen to superfluous words, and they just start killing people......"

Xiao Wenjun's face changed.

Xiao Zhengxuan was also a little stunned, he felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven, such an absurd and impossible thing was actually encountered by Xiao Zhengnan? 、

"How is that possible?!" He subconsciously scolded: "What does the local government do for food?" Besides, even if it is a gambling house with a background, is it difficult to dare to go against the imperial court officials? Did you do something taboo? ”

But as soon as the words came out, Xiao Zhengxuan knew that it was impossible.

Even if they commit other people's taboos, where will people riot and kill people at every turn?

The son who went out the day before yesterday died when he turned his head, and Xiao Wenjun felt like he was dreaming.

He squinted, propped up the table and asked, "Dead?" ”

A human life, how can it be said that it is gone if it is gone?

Although life is impermanent, the life of a person with a head and a face is more precious than that of ordinary people except in the face of disease.

How could he suddenly die?

Chen Xing was already crying: "Dead, the villain was on the side at that time, no matter what, those people didn't listen at all, the person in charge of the casino, like a madman, the second young master didn't say a few words, he was beaten to death by him with a stool, and the stool leg passed through the second young master's abdomen......"

The scene at that time was vivid, Chen Xing remembered the shock and despair at that time, and he still couldn't help but be frightened: "Master, you want to avenge the second young master!" There is also the third son of the clan, the third son is also in that gambling house, and the second young master recognized the third son, which is why he has a conflict with the gambling house......"

Chen Xing had talked about the third prince before, but at that time, Xiao Wenjun and Xiao Zhengxuan were too shocked to pay much attention to it.

Until now, when they heard that the third child, who had been missing for a few years, appeared in the gambling house and became someone's 'livestock', used to fight with wild beasts to attract people to bet, they couldn't react.

This gambling house, as it sounds like hell on earth, is no different from hell on earth.
