The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 8 [008] Jin Yiwei?

Seeing the five big men approaching Jia Qiang and Sun Shaozu step by step, Lin Daiyu clenched her handkerchief tightly, and raised her heart in her throat.

Xue Baochai's hands holding the railing of the stairs were also tightly clenched, her knuckles turned white, and her apricot eyes gleamed with anxiety and worry.

Jia Baoyu also pursed his lips. While worried about Jia Qiang's safety, he was even more worried that these five big men would attack him, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

There was a sudden silence in the noisy hall, and the diners all looked nervously at the five big men with knives, and the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Jia Qiang was not in a hurry, she looked sideways at the five big men, and said coldly and fearlessly:

"Are you this guy's helper? Then let's go together!"

Unexpectedly, one of the big men clasped his fists and saluted:

"Young Master misunderstood, we are here to arrest this Sun Shaozu."

Sun Shaozu was taken aback when he heard the words, and exclaimed fiercely:

"I am a dignified third-rank official, who are you? How dare you come to arrest me?"

The big man took out a copper token, glared at Sun Shaozu, and shouted angrily:
"Jin Yiwei handles affairs, those who resist arrest will be executed!"

Sun Shaozu was so frightened that he slumped on the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"Are you Jin Yiwei?"

The faces of the diners changed, each of them shrank their heads, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, not daring to take another look at these Jin Yiwei.

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows slightly, unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei was alarmed.

Moreover, these five burly men were all wearing plain clothes, and they should be the hidden guards of Jin Yiwei, who would only be dispatched when carrying out secret missions.

"Take it away!" The big man gave an order, and two hidden guards set up Sun Shaozu, one on the left and one on the right, and escorted him to the door.

Jia Qiang didn't want to let Sun Shaozu go just like that. If the chief judge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was bribed by this guy, he would be able to get away with it again.

"Wait a minute!" Jia Qiang chased after a few steps and stopped in front of Sun Shaozu.

Both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai secretly sweated for Jia Qiang, obstructing Jin Yiwei from running errands, this is a felony!

Unexpectedly, the leading dark guard was not annoyed at all, but clasped his fists and saluted:
"I don't know what else is going on, sir?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly and said:

"This person hasn't settled the bill yet. It's only natural to pay off the debt. He should pay off my food and drink before leaving."

The head of the dark guard nodded and said: "This is easy to handle! How much is the total?"

The waiter next to him hurriedly responded, "It's 26 taels in total."

At this time, Sun Shaozu's arms were useless and he was unable to pay for it himself.

The head of the dark guard took out 30 taels of silver from his pocket, handed it to Jia Qiang, and said with a smile:
"You don't need to give it to him, the extra is his compensation to your restaurant."

Jia Qiang asked the shop waiter to take the silver taels, then walked up to Sun Shaozu, raised her hand, and patted his left shoulder, seeming to persuade him earnestly:

"Reform your past, don't be a domineering person in the future, and be careful not to lose your life! Let's go!"

After all, Jia Qiang turned sideways to get out of the way.

Two hidden guards escorted Sun Shaozu out of the restaurant gate,
But just a few steps away, Sun Shaozu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground on his back.

The hidden guards were taken aback, and hurriedly checked his breath, only to find that he was bleeding from all seven orifices, and died of exhaustion.

It turned out that when Jia Qiang patted him on the shoulder just now, she secretly used the inner strength of Bawang's inner strength to break his heart.

Therefore, he only insisted on walking a few steps before his blood vessel ruptured and he fell to the ground dead.

The head of the dark guard seemed to have thought of something, turned his head suddenly, and looked into the restaurant in surprise, but he didn't see Jia Qiang's figure.

The head of the dark guard sucked his teeth. This Sun Shaozu died outside the restaurant, and he died in a strange manner. The cause of death is unknown. It is not yet possible to determine whether it was Jia Qiang's poisonous hands.

"My lord, what should we do now?" A subordinate next to him asked.

The head of the dark guard withdrew his gaze, frowned slightly thoughtfully, waved his hands and said:
"Bring Sun Shaozu's body back first, find a foreman to conduct an autopsy on him, and find out the cause of his death."

"Yes!"

After the hidden guards left, the tense atmosphere in the restaurant gradually eased.

Jia Baoyu, who was paralyzed on the stairs, woke up like a dream, turned to Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, and asked with concern:

"Sister Bao, Sister Lin, are you all right?"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay attention to this coward.

Xue Baochai was also angry in her heart, but she was tactful and forbearing, she did not explode, but smiled politely:

"It's okay, you still take care of yourself."

Sensing that there was something in Xue Baochai's words, Jia Baoyu pursed his lips, showing embarrassment, feeling remorse and shame for his cowardice just now.

At the same time, the diners were whispering and discussing, and they praised and admired Jia Qiang.

"This boss is really skilled!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the owner of this restaurant turned out to be a martial arts master."

"It's an eye-opener today. That third-rank military general can't even catch the boss's move."

"Although this meal is a bit expensive, it is definitely worth it. Not only is it delicious, but you can also watch a martial arts show for free."

"This time I have something to brag about in front of my friends. I have to recommend this restaurant to them and publicize the heroic deeds of the restaurant owner."

Hearing the compliments from the diners, the corners of Jia Qiang's mouth slightly raised, and she cupped her fists to salute the diners around her.

The diners also bowed their hands and returned the gift.

Unknowingly, Jia Qiang's eyes fell on the three of Bao Daichai.

Although they hadn't met several times, Jia Qiang recognized the three of them immediately.

When meeting Jia Qiang's eyes, Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help feeling emotional:

This Jia Qiang is tall and tall, with a handsome appearance, impeccable facial features, and a pair of phoenix eyes shining brightly, but there is no femininity, but a masculine heroism.

It is definitely not comparable to Jia Baoyu's handsome noodles.

Xue Baochai's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and a line of poetry suddenly popped up in her heart: A gentleman is unparalleled in the world, and people on Moshang are like jade!
Feeling the burning eyes of the two beauties, the corners of Jia Qiang's lips raised slightly. Compared with the enchanting and charming Qin Keqing, Lin Daiyu's appearance was not inferior in the slightest:

Two curved eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.Two dimples are born in the state of worry, and the disease of being delicate is attacked all over the body.Tears dripped, panting slightly.

When it is quiet, it is like a beautiful flower shining on the water, and when it is in action, it is like a weak willow supporting the wind.

And Xue Baochai is not inferior:

Lips are red without pimples, eyebrows are green without painting, face is like a silver basin, eyes are like water almonds, the muscles and bones are shiny and smooth, and the manner is elegant.

In the original book, when Jia Baoyu celebrates her birthday, Qunfang holds a banquet and throws flower sticks, and Lin Daiyu draws hibiscus flowers.

The hibiscus flower is spotless and has a noble temperament, which just fits with Lin Daiyu's refined temperament of "poetic and bookish in her belly, clean in nature and clean in quality".

And Xue Baochai drew a peony lottery, on which were written the words "Beautiful Crown Qunfang".

As the head of all flowers, the flower of wealth and honor, the grace and luxury of peony and Xue Baochai's status complement each other and bring out the best in each other.

Now, the pair of sisters stand side by side, complementing each other, which is pleasing to the eye and mesmerizing.

Just as Jia Qiang wanted to say hello, Jia Baoyu shouted excitedly:

"Brother Qiang, so this restaurant is your property."

Jia Qiang followed the prestige, and her eyes fell on Jia Baoyu's teary face.

Just now when Sun Shaozu acted violently, Jia Baoyu was so frightened that his nose burst into tears, and he forgot to wipe his face covered with tears and snot.
It's really embarrassing and ugly.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's cowardice and incompetence, Jia Qiang sighed helplessly. She was related to this bastard?
This Uncle Bao is really "the most incompetent in the world, unparalleled in ancient and modern times".

Although according to seniority, Jia Qiang needs to call Jia Baoyu, who is younger than her, "Uncle Bao",
But seeing Jia Baoyu's cowardly appearance, Jia Qiang didn't want to call him uncle anymore, calling him by his first name was just flattering the coward.

"Yes, Baoyu, you are welcome to come and take care of my business in the future." Jia Qiang smiled politely.

Jia Baoyu was spoiled and pampered since he was a child, and he only acted with the eyes of others. How could he hear the indifference and alienation in Jia Qiang's tone?
Moreover, Jia Baoyu has a wild temper, acts perversely, deviates from the orthodoxy, and doesn't like to follow the rules, so he doesn't mind at all if Jia Qiang doesn't call him uncle.

Jia Baoyu ran up to Jia Qiang excitedly, and said with a smile:

"Brother Qiang, so you are so good at martial arts, I heard from Brother Rong that you have now moved out of Ningguo Mansion and set up your own business.

If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to move to our Rongguo Mansion and take the time to teach me martial arts. "

Jia Qiang thought to herself: Now that I am alone and weak, if I think about rebellion, I must expand my contacts, and now Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu live in the Rongguo Mansion.

Behind Xue Baochai is the royal merchant Xue's family, and Lin Daiyu's father is Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt in Yangzhou.They are all human resources that can be used.

In addition, Shi Xiangyun often came to Rongguo Mansion to live temporarily. Although her parents died, she had two uncles, namely Baoling Hou Shi Nai and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding, both of whom were high-ranking princes.

That is to say, in Rongguo Mansion, relatives of the four major families of King Jia Shixue gathered.

If you have a good relationship with these people, you can use their power and network to quickly expand your own power.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang smiled lightly at Jia Baoyu and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"That's great!" Jia Baoyu smiled brightly, and waved to Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai on the stairs, shouting excitedly:

"Sister Bao, Sister Lin, from now on Brother Qiang can play with us often."

Jia Qiang followed Jia Baoyu's gaze, looked at Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, and smiled generously at them.

Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu also smiled and nodded to Jia Qiang.

When the eyes met, the hearts of the two beauties trembled slightly, and the tips of their ears turned red quietly.
