Chapter 4: The Struggle Has Just Begun (2nd Watch)
Xue Zha threw Dao'er to the pawnshop shopkeeper, turned around and went back to the house.
Niu Hu and Er Fool have already brought people to buy back all the things Xue Zha wants, and these people are also considered to have done things hard and saved a lot of money, and they used the money to add a lot of furnishings to the house.
Originally, the Sanjin courtyard was empty, except for a few trees in the yard, there was nothing.
But when Xue Zha entered the door again, he found that this house was made by Niu Hu and Er Silly.
On both sides of the white stone corridor, grape trellises are planted, and stone tables and stone chairs are also placed in the empty front yard, backyard and two side courtyards in the middle.
Xue Zha rejected Niu Hu's suggestion to buy two maids to serve, he still had dinner with these people, this meal was the same as noon, Xue Zha used his clichΓ© skills to get a lot of information and gossip from these people.
After dinner, Xue Zha took the Niu Hu out, he squatted under a tree full of red dates in the yard, and he asked: "You just said that our national army in Bai is good at everything, but it is a little lustful?"
"Yes, Childe, this matter is what we, the little people in the capital, have heard, and this is rejected and spread in the official face. β
Niu Hu said in a sneering voice, trying his best to show the role of their group.
Xue Zha snorted, he pinched his chin and pondered: If that's the case, it doesn't seem to be a difficult task to get close to the national army, it's just ...... Just this one character, isn't it enough for the old dean to say "safe"?
Niu Hu frowned when he saw Xue Zha, and he took the initiative to ask: "Master, but what's the difficulty, you are good to our brothers, if you can use our brothers, you can just speak." β
"Hmm...... Don't worry, I'm not going to see you. β
Xue Zha patted him on the shoulder and turned to walk away, there are some things that Niu Hu shouldn't know now.
At this time, in the eastern district of the capital, lanterns are hung on every street, and the carriages are hurrying, and now it is just dark, it is the time when the nobles of the officials in the eastern district start their nightlife, among which there are two slightly shabby carriages, which are pulled by a horse, they slowly rushed to the front of a tall mansion, stopped the horses, Jiang Chen and Zhu Yunshan got down from the car, looked at the plaque of "Scholar Lu Daxue" hanging in front of the house, and after the two confirmed that it was correct, they lowered their heads and sorted out their clothes, and they were going to climb dozens of steps in front of the door.
At this time, the two red lacquered doors of this mansion creaked open from the inside, an old man with a cold light in his eyes snorted, and more than a dozen black dogs pounced at his feet, they rushed forward with a fierce howl, as if they had the master's permission, they frantically tore Jiang Chen and Zhu Yunshan.
"This ...... What kind of misunderstanding is going on? We want to see Master Lu, we want to see Master Lu!"
Zhu Yunshan shouted, but Jiang Chen on the side was very calm, he didn't care about Zhu Yunshan, who tried to come forward to resolve the misunderstanding, and scolded disdainfully: "Idiot, people are obviously going to throw away you after wiping your buttocks, you and I are like papyrus, what qualifications do you have to really come to see someone like Master Lu." β
Jiang Chen once again showed his knowledge of current affairs, although he went to Xue Zhe's side today according to the command of Bachelor Lu, he always had a trace of vigilance: Why did Bachelor Lu, a big man in the capital, know that the two of them had a holiday with Xue Zha? How did he find the two of them?
Before Jiang Chenlin put down the curtain of the carriage, he took a deep look at Zhu Yunshan, who was bitten by the black dogs, and his legs and feet were bloody, he shook his head and lowered the curtain, and said directly to the coachman: "Let's go......"
And after Jiang Chen walked out of this street, the door of the "Scholar Lu" mansion was opened from the inside again, and out of it came a middle-aged man about fifty years old, he waved his hand, and all the black dogs returned to the mansion gate, and then he took the initiative to step forward, helped Zhu Yunshan on the ground, and smiled to help him pat the dirt on his body and said: "Your father's letter is right, you are a good boy." β
Zhu Yunshan's legs were trembling violently at the moment, he looked down at his legs full of his own blood and dog saliva, and said with a crying voice: "Uncle Lu, this is ...... Why the hell is that?"
Lu Qingyang stroked his beard, he glanced at the direction Jiang Chen left, and he said in a deep voice: "Although this kid has an enmity with Xue Zha, he is cautious by nature and has not made a mortal enmity with Xue Zha. β
"If I guess correctly, this kid will definitely look for Xue Zha tonight, and then pick up the two of you by my people, and then tell Xue Zha everything I want you to do. β
Lu Qingyang laughed, he lowered his body, dipped his fingers in Zhu Yunshan's blood, and wrote a word "Quan" on his hand casually, and the next moment, bursts of white light moved outside Zhu Yunshan's body, gathering endless literary energy, and in a blink of an eye, the miserable situation on his legs was smoothed out.
Lu Qingyang immediately pulled Zhu Yunshan into the university scholar's mansion, and the carriage that Zhu Yunshan came over was politely invited to the backyard by the concierge of the university scholar's mansion that let the dog bite people at the beginning, and served him with good wine and meat.
Jiang Chen was indeed as Lu Qingyang thought, after he left the Eastern District, he directly followed the road of his memory during the day and went to Dahuaishu Street in Nancheng District.
He stood in front of Xue Zha's house for a long time, when the moon hung overhead, when the lights were turned off and resting around the street, when he could only occasionally hear one or two dog barks and the sound of a husband's bang, he finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and stepped forward to knock on the door of Xue Zha's house.
Xue Zha gave Niu Hu and them a shift, and the second fool was on duty on the first night.
This guy who can't bend at all, snoring so loudly that Jiang Chen's hands are red and swollen, he didn't hear it, it was still Jiang Chen found by Xue Zhe, who got up early the next morning for a morning run.
"Uh...... Xiao Jiang, why did you fall asleep against my door?"
Xue Zha held on to the door, looked down at Jiang Chen, who fell to the ground and opened his eyes, and asked suspiciously.
Jiang Chen rubbed his buttocks that fell to the ground, he slowly got up, and he roared in a somewhat sad and angry voice: "I arrived in the middle of the night last night, you...... You're a janitor, you don't ...... at all He didn't open the door for me at all!"
"I ...... I'm ...... I've been filming all night!"
Xue Zha's two huge dark circles under his eyes, nodded, and he concluded: "You are not lying, look at this sleepless little appearance, go for a walk, go to my house and sleep for a while and talk." β
Xue Zha pulled Jiang Chen into the door and closed the door of the mansion casually.
But Xue Zha didn't take Jiang Chen directly inside, he leaned into the crack of the door to look out, and sure enough, with two swishing sounds, two Tsing Yi figures flashed out from both sides of the road, they took advantage of the fact that there were not many people on the street, they made two gestures to each other, and then each retreated from one direction, obviously the person who was monitoring Xue Zha.
Xue Zha didn't know who this person was, it was possible that he was sent by the pawnshop shopkeeper, or he could have asked Jiang Chen and Zhu Yunshan to warn him that person had sent him.
He didn't choose to keep up, the struggle had just begun, and there was no need to be so fierce.
"Let you stumble first, wait for me to see your intentions, and then have fun with you!"
Xue Zha retracted his gaze, he had already made up his mind: this time in the capital, he must not be easy to be high-profile, he must be a bad person, and he must make a cat-and-mouse effect to tease the other party.
"Hmm...... Jiang Chen, why did you come to me again at night after scolding me, and if you don't understand, I'll kill you!"
