Detective in the Red Chamber

Not long after, even Mrs. Wang arrived and advised her son to take a rest for a few days, so as not to cause any trouble again.

But Jia Baoyu insisted on going out to relax, Mrs. Wang couldn't stop her, and she was terribly afraid to stop him. If the debt collector wanted to die and live, he had no choice but to let him go.

It's just that Jia Baoyu broke through the gate of the Rongguo Mansion as if struggling for his life, but he saw Lai Dazheng guarding in front of the carriage!

"Second Master Bao."

Seeing Baoyu going out, he cupped his hands and said, "The old lady is afraid that something will happen to you outside, so she asked me to follow you and take care of her."

Pain too!

Jia Baoyu was at a loss for a while, and wanted to make a fuss about changing people, but seeing Lai Da staring at him with a half-smile, he was flustered, short of breath and at a loss, but how could he make a fuss?

"Second Master, get in the car."

Lai laughed loudly and raised his chin, and immediately a servant picked up the curtain of the car.

Seeing Baoyu obediently getting into the carriage like a marionette, Lai Da felt more and more complacent.

Secretly thought that the master of this mansion is really not as good as one stubble, and if Jia Baoyu becomes the master in the future, Rongguo Mansion is afraid that he will be the one to rely on the uncle.

Thinking like this in his heart, Lai Da didn't reveal his expression on the surface, and asked respectfully, "Second Master, I don't know where you want to go for fun, but you want to go to Uncle Xue's house?"

"Go...to the outside of the city...to Zhuangzi outside the city."

Jia Baoyu stammered, seeing the coachman about to shake off his horsewhip, he hurriedly added, "We are tired of looking at the ones in the mansion, this time we will go to Zhuangzi in the East mansion."

After finishing speaking, he took a peek at Lai Da, and saw that he didn't show much vigilance, so he was relieved.

Speechless all the way.

But they said that two carriages left these four or nine cities one after another, seeing Zhuangzi of Ningguo Mansion, a servant rushed over to inform him, so a dozen servants came out in a hurry.

Baoyu saw that there was no elderly person among them, so he asked, "I heard that Jiao Da from the East Mansion is here, why didn't I see him?"

But it turned out that the loyal servant he told Sun Shaozong yesterday was Jiao Da from Ningguo Mansion!

Speaking of people who would risk their lives for the Jia family, Jiao Da was the only one he could think of—although he also vaguely felt that it was unreliable to count on an old man, but he really couldn't think of anyone else.

But when all the farmers heard him mention Jiao Da, they hurriedly separated two people out, and found an old man with white beard and hair and trembling hands and feet from the field.

"Where is the brother in the West Mansion?"

The old man tried his best to lift his eyelids and waited for a long time before his eyes fell on Baoyu. He grinned his uneven gums and said vaguely, "Hey, isn't this the brother of Mr. Zheng's family? It's rare that you still know to see me Jiao Da .”

I haven't seen him for more than a year, but this Jiao Da seems to be ten years older again!

Seeing his dying appearance, Jia Baoyu's heart suddenly became cold again. Yesterday, Sun Shaozong said that he has no strength to restrain a chicken, and the old man in front of him is probably not as good as himself!

If it is a mature and prudent person, he will definitely not take random risks at this time, but choose a long-term plan.

But Jia Baoyu has always been reckless, and felt that since he had already arrived here, he had no choice but to shoot!

So he gritted his teeth, and said according to the original plan, "A few days ago, I heard someone mention your old experience, so I wanted to come and have a look - can you tell me about the war with the old man? "

Those turbulent years were originally what Jiao Da was most willing to mention, so when he heard this, he immediately said with a smile on his face, "That's a good relationship! Come on, brother, come back to the house with me, and I will tell you from the beginning to the end. listen!"

Seeing that the old and the young entered the Zhuangzi, Lai hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't follow. Instead, he called the two young men to follow from a distance, and don't let Jia Baoyu make any fools.

But Jia Baoyu was dragged by Jiao Da not far away, he felt that the strength in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and Jiao Da's feet were getting more and more staggered, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Jiao Da.

"The bones of the balloon are becoming more and more useless."

Jiao Da laughed at himself, looked back at the two servants following him, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother is looking for me, is there something wrong?"

Jia Baoyu was panicking at first, how could this dying old man help him get rid of Lai Da, he was out of his mind, when he heard Jiao Da's inquiry, he blurted out what was on his mind, "I want to kill Lai Da!"

After finishing speaking, he immediately regretted it again.

Sun Shaozong clearly explained, don't explain things too clearly...

"Ha ha."

Hearing Jiao Da grinning, a little understanding flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he said in a low voice, "That brother waits for a quarter of an hour, and then tells that Lai Da to leave, and then we will kill him for my brother! "

Jia Baoyu was regretting herself a lot, when she suddenly heard Jiao Da's words, it seemed that Lai Da was just a piece of paper, she felt even more remorse, lest the old man was confused and made a mistake.

But he didn't want to question it openly, so he just said, "Old man, why don't you even ask the reason."

Jiao Da tried his best to stick out his chest, and said, "When we men followed the grandfather, we always only asked who to kill, not why!"

Then he hunched his back again, and muttered, "Besides, I'm still not deaf. My brother is checking the accounts in the mansion. If there is a murder, I have already filled my ears."

While speaking, he arrived at Jiao Da's residence, but he saw that the cramped room was dark, and there was a faint smell of decayed old people. Baoyu, who had always been happy and clean, immediately shrank a little.

"Go."

Jiao Dahu broke away from Jia Baoyu's support, and said at the top of his voice, "Since you think my room is dirty, then don't listen to the story!"

As he spoke, he scratched off a few withered and white hairs, and walked into the room slowly.

Seeing his slow movements, as if time had frozen, Jia Baoyu's uneasiness and regret rushed to the peak more and more.

"Second Master!"

When the two servants heard the shout, they rushed over and said in relief, "Don't pay attention to this ignorant old thing! If you really want to know about the two old masters, go to the teahouse and listen to the book a few times." , it’s all there!”

Jia Baoyu stared at the dark room, heaved a sigh of relief, and said dejectedly, "Let's go, accompany me to the fields, and then we'll go back home."

Chapter 157

"Second Master, Second Master!"

But he said that this morning, Sun Shaozong was exercising in the yard when he saw Zhao Zhongji rushing over and shouted in a panic, "Second Master Bao from Rongguo Mansion is here!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Look quickly, the second master Bao is covered with blood on his hands, and the villain didn't dare to ask in detail."

As soon as Sun Shaozong heard this, he quickly inserted the golden silk big ring knife back into the weapon rack, and walked to the front hall in two steps in three steps.

as predicted.

I saw that Jia Baoyu was standing in the center, his hands and body were covered with bloodstains, and that baby face, which was always festive, was unusually calm.

"you……"

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but blurted out and asked, "You killed that Lai Da yourself?!"

If this is the case, Sun Shaozong will look at him with admiration.

Jia Baoyu shook his head with a wry smile.

"Then what's going on with your blood?"

Hearing Sun Shaozong mention the blood all over his body, Jia Baoyu's eyes were a little blurred, but he soon regained his clarity, and gave a deep bow and said, "This is exactly the reason why I came to look for the second brother, in fact, just now..."

But said more than half an hour ago.

Jia Baoyu stepped out of the gate of the farm almost step by step, and saw two carriages ahead, but there was no sign of Jiao Da, his heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.

An old man who is dying is really unreliable!

At this moment, a shivering figure suddenly flashed behind the carriage that Lai Da was riding in, and he yelled with his sleeves up, "Donkey day, why are you walking so slowly, your grandpa Jiao's two legs I can barely hold on anymore!"

Lai Dajian was hiding behind the car, and subconsciously glanced at Jia Baoyu. He felt a little suspicious at first, but then he was relieved - what kind of tricks can this half-grown child and an [-]-year-old man play?

So he asked bluntly, "Jiao Da, what are you doing here?"

"What? You want to take me back to live?"

Jiao Dawan listened with his ears sideways, but slowly shook his head and said, "I'm only going back to Ningguo Mansion, I won't go to your house."

This old thing!

Seeing that he couldn't even hear clearly, Lai Da felt even more disdainful, stepped forward and said loudly, "No one wants to take you home! I..."

Before Lai Da finished yelling, that Jiao Da's body suddenly leaned forward and crashed into Lai Da's arms!

Lai Da's expression froze in an instant, and then he grabbed Jiao Da's wrist, and said loudly, "You...you..."

Seeing that he could still struggle, Jiao Da pushed forward as if fighting for his life, and the two of them fell to the ground like an arhat.

"what are you doing?!"

Only then did the servants of Rongguo Mansion come to their senses, and hurried forward, helping and tearing.

"The one who dares to touch me!"

Jiao Da raised his head and yelled, his voice was hoarse and low, and he was somewhat short of breath. Logically speaking, it should have no deterrent effect at all, but those servants froze in strange shapes as if they had been immobilized.

For a long time, I don't know who shouted, "Kill...Kill!"

All the powerful slaves fled far away in a rolling and crawling manner.

But it turned out that when Jiao Da raised his head, he revealed a dagger with a cold glow, and the tip of the dagger was obliquely inserted into Lai Da's heart!

"Save...save me...quickly save me!"

However, at this moment, Lai Da also raised his head and began to whine, but it turned out that Jiao Da was old and frail after all, so even though he exerted his strength twice, he still failed to kill him!

"Balloon, this body bone is really useless."

Jiao Da cursed, stabilized the dagger with his hand, raised his head high again, and slammed his head on the handle with a hammer!

puff~

The blood gushing out suddenly sprayed him all over the head and face.

However, Lai Da was still alive, he stretched his neck like a plague chicken, and shouted with all his strength, "Yizhongqian..."

bang~

Another head hammer hit it!

More than half of the anger in Lai Daqiang's mouth dissipated immediately, and the roar that reached his mouth turned into a few intermittent murmurs, "Shop... stock..."

bang~

The third head hammer completely took away all the vitality of Lai Da.

Jiao Da was still worried, so he punched hard twice, and seeing that Lai Da didn't respond at all, he straightened up his bruised forehead out of breath, and laughed, "My dear grandson, Grandpa Jiao, when I killed someone, , even your father hasn't weaned yet!"

As he spoke, he wanted to struggle to stand up.

Unexpectedly, when he stood up, he found that Lai Da's hand was still firmly grasping his wrist, and he couldn't get it free after struggling several times.

In the end, he had no choice but to stop panting, and greeted Jia Baoyu, "Brother, come and help me."

Jia Baoyu saw that his old terrace-like face was still dripping with dirty blood, some of which had even flowed into his mouth, but he was still smiling heartily, as if he had crawled out of hell. Like a ghost!

Not to mention stepping forward to help for a while, Dang even took two steps back in fright.

A little loneliness and disappointment flashed in Jiao Da's eyes, he lowered his head silently, and started wrestling with that hand again.

At this time, there were more than [-] people standing at the gate of the farm, but it was surprisingly quiet.

Everyone was in a daze, looking at the old man with a bright head and beard, riding on Lai Da's body and trying his best to break it, even the cronies brought by Lai Da couldn't think of going to stop him.

For a long time.Jia Baoyu suddenly took half a step forward, then another half step, and finally rushed to Jiao Da's body with big strides like shooting stars, with red eyes, gritting his teeth, stretched out his hand and opened Lai Da's palm with all his strength.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jiao Da flicked his wrist, and suddenly burst out laughing. Seeing that Baoyu was about to help him up, he pointed at the dagger and said, "It's something that was rewarded by my grandfather. My brother put it away for me first."

Baoyu looked at the dagger deeply wedged into Lai Da's heart, his legs trembled, but he still slowly bent down, held the dagger tremblingly, and pulled it out violently...

recall here.

Baoyu took out a dagger from his sleeve, stroked it in a trance, and said, "At that moment, I regretted it very much."

"regret?"

Sun Shaozong wondered, "Regret killing that Lai Da?"

"No!"

Jia Baoyu raised his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "I regret that I didn't kill him with my own hands! The inheritance left by my ancestors should be guarded by me as a descendant!"

Sun Shaozong looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's not too late for you to understand now!"

After a pause, he said again, "Since Lai Da is dead, why did you come to find me?"

"Grandpa Jiao refuses to hide."

Only then did Jia Baoyu think of the business, and hurriedly said, "Second brother, please think of a way, don't let him be a burden to the old man again!"

It turned out to be for this matter.
