The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Liu Tong caught Ai Ji Ma having an affair with his subordinates, so furious, he ordered his soldiers to go to the back garden to arrest Zhao Tu, and after a while he ordered Liu Qian to come over.

It was Liu Qian who came first, and seeing Liu Shu winking, he was puzzled, and saluted Liu Tong: "General."

Liu Tong stared at him and asked, "Zhao Tu has an affair with my concubine, do you know?"

Liu Qian was shocked: "General, there must be a misunderstanding! Brother Zhao has read sage books since he was a child. He dare not and will not do such immoral things."

Liu Tong sneered and said, "Why did my concubine's hairpin fall from him?"

Liu Qian thought for a while and said, "Brother Zhao drank a few more drinks today, or someone framed him and stuffed something into his sleeve while he was drunk, I don't know."

Liu Tong looked at him for a while longer, and snorted, "He passed out drunk in my concubine's yard, did someone move him there?"

"This..." Liu Qian couldn't hold back, "It's not difficult to coax a drunk to go somewhere."

But now the soldiers who went to arrest Zhao Tu came back and reported to Liu Tong: "Go back to the general, Mr. Zhao is not seen in the back garden, but the west corner gate is wide open, and the two women guarding the gate were knocked out. "

Liu Tong was furious: "Trash! Hurry up and chase after him!" The soldiers agreed in unison, and went out to find someone.

Liu Qian was anxious, bowed and said, "Brother Zhao is really not that kind of person! Wansheng has known him since he was a child!"

Liu Shu said from the side: "Mr. Liu has only been with him for a few years. Since he is willing to betray Ping'an Prefecture for a woman, wouldn't he betray my father because of a woman?"

Liu Qian choked and blushed.After a while, he still bowed to Liu Tong and said, "I beg the general to be clear. Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if you don't make sure there is a misunderstanding." The confidence in the words was no longer sufficient.

Liu Shu said: "If he is really very drunk, I'm afraid he won't be able to move for a while. Obviously he is pretending to be drunk. As soon as his mother's people leave, he will get up and run away. Father might as well try Ma Shi's girl, and Her brother."

Liu Tong nodded again and again: "My son is right." He ordered someone to quickly take Ma's girl and take care of the horse.Not long after, several girls brought them.They were originally servants of the Liu family, but now they have lost their courage, how can they hide it for Mrs Ma?All of them were recruited.

It turned out that just now Zhao Tu climbed the wall from the back of their yard, broke in and rushed straight at Ma Shi while drunk.Mrs. Ma was dodging at first, but Zhao Tu said "I know you are pitiful! I know your surname is not Ma! I know you are a rich lady! I only hate that I have no ability to take you away..." and so on I don't know what to say.When Mrs. Ma heard this, tears rolled down immediately, and she slumped on the chair, completely bewildered.Zhao Tu rushed forward and hugged her, muttering, "I'll take you away... I'll take you away one day..." His eyes couldn't stop crying.The two embraced and cried for a long time.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, and the servants shouted: "Aunt Ma—the general is here!" He woke up with two clicks.

Zhao Tu immediately said: "I was drunk and came here by mistake. I just knocked on the door outside. After the girl opened the door, I fell to the ground and couldn't get up. You are frightened." Ma nodded and hurriedly ordered the girl.These girls all knew that Aunt Ma might have an affair with this man, but since they were Ma Shi's side, their life and death depended on her, so they acted hastily.Zhao Tu turned around and lay down on the imperial concubine's couch pretending to be drunk, a girl hurried out to open the door and performed a play for Liu Tong.Liu Tong now recalled that there were many flaws, but at that time he completely trusted the two of them and never had any doubts.

Liu Qian was dumbfounded after hearing this, his mouth could not be closed for a long time.Liu Shu hummed beside him, "Let me tell you! Mr. Pianliu doesn't believe it either, neither does Mother."

Liu Qian blushed even more embarrassingly: "It's an insult to gentleness!"

At that moment, Manager Ma also came, Liu Tong cursed a few words and he became a panic-stricken chicken, confessing that Ma Shi was not his sister, and that Yunyun was bought by him, but he refused to admit that Ma Shi and Zhao Tu were in their house private meeting.Liu Qian said: "You can ask the mother-in-law of the Ma family's night watch."

Then he rushed to get the mother-in-law who guarded the back door of Ma's house at night.The mother-in-law said: "No one came to look for the eldest lady. It's just that a girl named La next to her has a lover who asked someone to give me some money. When the eldest lady returns to her mother's house, her lover will come to meet her privately. Every day After returning to the matter, that kid also thanked me several hundred dollars."

Ma's maid hurriedly said: "There are four maids in our yard, and none of them has the surname La."

Liu Shu said: "What girl, didn't Manager Ma just say that her surname is La?" Then he asked the woman what the adulterer looked like.As soon as the mother-in-law said, the tall, short, fat and thin person with an accent was indeed Zhao Tu.

Steward Ma was frightened, and kowtowed vigorously: "I am wronged! General, the villain doesn't know anything! The villain just thinks that she has a good life, will be able to please the general, and get a lot of rewards! The villain is wronged!"

Liu Tong drew out his saber and was about to strike, but Liu Qian hurriedly stopped him: "General, don't kill him!"

Liu Tong's eyes were as big as copper bells: "Why can't I kill you!"

Liu Qian said anxiously: "Mr. Ma must not be able to live, and a woman who died in the back house is nothing. If her brother died too, this brother would still be looking for beauties for the general. I'm afraid someone will guess what happened. Come on. Even if you can't guess it, some people are curious and don't know what kind of story to make up. As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and family ugliness cannot be exposed; there is another saying, good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles. This matter If other people know about it, the general's reputation may not be able to be brought back by even ten bulls."

Guanshi Ma cried and kowtowed: "General, spare your life! General, spare your life! The villain will find another beauty for the general! The villain will never dare to recognize a girl indiscriminately again!"

Liu Qian persuaded again: "Based on his late life, this steward Ma is really innocent. He is begging for a beauty for the general, and it is because the Ma family has the general's favor, how can he help the Ma family to have an affair with others? But Didn't you use your own neck to drill into the noose?"

Guanshi Ma cried: "The villain is wronged——when I bought her at that time, the mother-in-law said that she was a girl from a very clean and small family in the village, and she was raised by her father as a young lady! How can I imagine that she is a girl?" Such a flirtatious slut! If the villain knew she would definitely sell her to a brothel, he wouldn't dare to send her to the general's mansion even if he had a hundred thousand guts, let alone recognize her as a sister..."

Liu Shu trusted Liu Qian a few days ago because he had saved him some advice, so he hurriedly said, "What Mr. Liu said is true. Daddy, reputation matters."

Liu Tong asked the two of them to speak to each other, so he moved, pointing at Steward Ma and yelling, "Get lost!"

Manager Ma didn't dare to get up, he really rolled out!Liu Shu couldn't help laughing, and Liu Tong was also annoyed.Liu Qian heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward and bowed to the ground, and said in shame: "There is such a scum among scholars, Wansheng is ashamed to see the general."

Liu Shu laughed more and more: "Mr. Liu is good at everything, but it's just a little roundabout." Liu Qian shook his head.

Liu Tong originally wanted to take his anger out on him, but it was just that he was a man of talent, and his son was quietly whispering nice things, so he said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you go." Liu Qian bowed again and said goodbye. and go.

He had just left the gate of the Liu Mansion, but the steward didn't leave, and was waiting not far away, seeing him coming out and chasing after him, he said: "Thank you for saving my life, sir! The villain will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Liu Qian looked at him and smiled slightly: "Heavenly King Gaidihu."

Manager Ma was stunned, and then said for a while: "Baota town river demon...Mr. Liu?"

Liu Qian said: "For a person like Guanshi Ma, how could Mr. Gong be willing to let you take such a big risk? Mr. Gong already had a plan in his pocket for today's matter, and he ordered me to try to rescue him." In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Gong San, it is He improvised himself.

"Oh——" Guanshi Ma was stunned, and he stretched out his thumb to praise, "Mr. Gong is really clever, and the sword is not old! Who is the one who taught my night watchwoman how to speak?"

Liu Qian didn't answer, just said: "Don't forget the reward that the man promised to give to that woman." She bowed to him with a smile and walked away.Manager Ma shouted "Thank you" and "There must be something in return" a few times behind.

Liu Qian had just returned home, when he suddenly saw Zhao Tu flashing out from behind the door, he was startled: "You are hiding here!"

Zhao Tu smiled wryly and said, "I have nowhere to go." Nai wiped off his sweat, "I just heard the commotion on the street and they must be arresting me."

Liu Qian complained: "I told you not to mess with General Liu's woman, how can I send you away now!" Nai looked around for a while, and led him to the study.

Zhao Tu said: "He called you over and let you back, so he never suspected you?"

Liu Qian snorted, "I never stole his concubine Ji."

Zhao Tu asked: "Do you know what happened to Mrs. Ma?"

Liu Qian said, "What do you think of being arrested for stealing?"

Zhao Tu staggered suddenly, unknowingly shed tears, and said after a long while: "I killed her." After thinking for a moment, "I want to rescue her."

Liu Qian squinted at him: "Although you are stronger than ordinary scholars, you can't break into the Liu residence after all, how can you save her?"

Zhao Tu gritted his teeth: "There is always a way. Tomorrow, I will pretend to be a delivery man and sneak in to have a look."

"Don't be fooled!" Liu Qian frowned, "What's the situation in their mansion? Now the whole city is arresting you. Aren't you pretending to be drunk? How dare you run away like that. If you pretend that you can't keep everything, I'll still be there." The Dharma will come back for you."

Zhao Tu stumbled and said: "Later, I also wanted to understand this matter. Originally, life and death were in danger, and she still had a way to survive if she stayed in their garden. However, the boy ran away after teasing me, and died if he said that he was late. He left me outside Liu's mansion again, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Liu Qian was taken aback: "Which boy?"

While speaking, he had reached the door of Liu Qian's study room, and saw the door was open, inside a young man wearing crow-blue arrow sleeves was sitting drinking tea, raised his head and waved: "How is Mr. Liu?"

Zhao Tu pointed at him and shouted, "That's him!"

Liu Qian frowned and asked, "Dare to ask the young master?"

The young man leisurely took a sip of the teacup and said, "I'm from S.H.I.E.L.D., codenamed Hei Wuchang. Someone paid us to save Mr. Ding Chu's life."

Both Liu Qian and Zhao Tu had heard of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they were all surprised when they heard him call Zhao Tu's real name "Ding Chu".Liu Qian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, young master."

Hei Wuchang said: "Liu Tong's men are already looking for him, nights are long and dreams are many, not to mention you two are well known for your friendship. You have to try to get out of the city quickly."

Zhao Tu was full of complaints just now, but now his eyes suddenly brightened: "Young master is very skilled in martial arts, please save Ma Shi."

Hei Wuchang glanced at him: "Your concubine? Our S.H.I.E.L.D. agency never saves people for nothing. Do you have money?"

Zhao Tu rushed forward as if he had seen a savior, leaned on the case and stretched his neck in hope, "Don't worry, young master, when I return to Lingnan and have my own money, I will definitely have a little silver for you."

Hei Wuchang frowned: "A woman, or someone else's woman, what are you doing all this effort? You don't have a wife yourself? Why don't you miss your own wife? You have caused such a disaster, she may not have a good life pass."

Zhao Tu's face turned slightly red, and he said: "That woman is just a cover, and the young master also knows that my real name is not Zhao Tu, so the marriage is not counted. Anyway, she has nothing to do with me, I only love Ma Shi in my heart. I just ask the young master to save Mrs. Ma, money is easy to talk about."

Hei Wuchang sneered and said, "It's really shameless to a certain extent." Then he clapped his hands, "Fortunately, we at S.H.I.E.L.D. have always accepted the money and ignored it, and the 500 taels of silver will not be countered."

Zhao Tu was overjoyed: "It's a deal! Please, young master!" Nai repeatedly bowed and bowed.Hei Wuchang twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't answer.Zhao Tu clasped his hands to Liu Qian again, "When I leave the country of Lu, ask Brother Liu to take care of my current woman."

Liu Qian was standing on the sidelines, wondering if this black impermanence was credible, but his eyes widened when he heard the words: "What did Brother Zhao say?"

Hei Wuchang smiled and said: "I have a brother named Fat Wuchang, who once said a word: Character and talent have never been related. Today I understand."

Although Zhao Tu was blushing, he still said in a low voice: "Right now Liu Tong is not as guilty as her, but life is more difficult. Please take care of Brother Liu, and I will try to rescue her in the future." Hei Wuchang laughed loudly.Liu Qian was speechless, said "you you" twice, then flung his sleeves and went out.

Hei Wuchang finished laughing, and said to Zhao Tu: "We usually take cash. I also know that Mr. Ding doesn't have any money at the moment, please write an IOU."

Zhao Tu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!" Immediately, he leaned over his desk and wrote the IOU note, pressed his fingerprints, dried the ink and sent it to Hei Wuchang.

Hei Wuchang took a closer look and found that the writing was correct. He nodded and said, "I will save her tonight."

Zhao Tu bowed to the ground and shed tears: "Thank you, young master."

Hei Wuchang then sleeved the IOU and went out.Not long after, I saw Liu Qian standing in the porch thinking with his hands behind his hands, he walked over with a smile and said, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, it is Master Zhan who asked us to save someone."

Liu Qian was startled: "It's him?"

Hei Wuchang said: "Since Mrs. Liu Tong knows that the Ma family is a tiger and wolf, how can she not deal with her? Zhao Tu is naturally the best weakness of the Ma family. Today when Liu Tong's daughter returns home, Zhao Tu will definitely come to Liu's residence. As far as this is an excellent opportunity, I guessed that she would not let it go. So I hid it in the Liu Mansion early, and only waited for their adultery to be exposed. After passing Liu Tong, she was never caught. Luckily, Mrs. Liu prepared a second hand. She managed to get a hairpin that Liu Tong gave to Mrs. Ma early on, and ordered one of her confidants to throw it on the ground. , and borrowed the mouth of the girl to say that the hairpin was not dropped by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law——of course it was Zhao Tu who dropped it."

Liu Qian nodded and said, "I see."

"After I dragged Zhao Tu out of the mansion, I guessed that Liu Tong was going to interrogate Ma's maid, and he was still angry at that moment, and he couldn't think of having someone guard Ma's courtyard, so I took advantage of the fact that Ma was the only one left in the courtyard. One, knocked her out, took her out of the Liu residence and hid her. Right now, everyone in the Liu residence is looking for her."

Liu Qian frowned and said, "Why did that woman save her?"

Hei Wuchang smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, don't you think that Zhao Tu and Ma's family are very good together? When they arrive in Lingnan, they will be of great use."
