Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 102 [102] Jia Rong attacked Rongguo Mansion
Jia She was so angry that his face turned blue, he blew his beard and stared and said:
"Who stole this batch of treasure?"

Jia Chen calmly and persuasively said:

"The second room just came to the ancestral home in Jinling yesterday, and this incident happened tonight. It's really scary to think about it!"

Jia She's eyes widened, and he said angrily:
"Chen'er, are you saying that this matter was done by the second wife?"

Jia Chen flatly denied it and said:
"I didn't say that, I'm a junior, how dare I accuse the second uncle and the second aunt without evidence?"

Jia Lian's eyes flickered a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly:

"It's not impossible. Why didn't I lose this treasure sooner or later, but after the second wife came, it disappeared?"

Jia She said sharply:
"Lian'er is right! I'm short of breath and can't get up. Lian'er, Chen'er, take someone to look around."

In the panic, the ancestral house in Jinling was noisy all night, Jia Chen and Jia Lian led the servants to search for the night, searched the ancestral house inside and out, but did not find this batch of treasures.

Jia Amnesty became more and more suspicious that Erfang stole the treasure.

"Lian'er, I feel a little strange. If the Second Household did it, how did they know that there is treasure hidden in the coffin?"

Jia Lian thought for a while and said hesitantly:
"Besides the three of us, there is also the wife who knows that the treasure is hidden in the coffin."

Jia Amnesty narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said:

"You mean, she might have revealed the news?"

Jia Lian smiled shyly and said, "This is the master's guess. My son is a junior, so I dare not speculate."

The Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety. Although Mrs. Xing was not Jia Lian's biological mother, she was also Jia Lian's nominal aunt, so Jia Lian dared not say so.

Jia She said with a cold snort:

"That woman is not only short-sighted, stupid and stubborn, greedy and stingy, but also a talkative gossip, it's hard to say whether she shook off this important confidential matter!
Lian'er, go and call your wife over, I have something to ask her! "

Jia Lian took the order and left.

On the other side, in the snowy Shanhaiguan Pass.

Ever since Dorgon saw Jia Yuanchun's peerless appearance, he felt as if his soul had been taken away. In order not to hurt Jia Yuanchun, he ordered the whole army to stop attacking and set up camp fifteen miles away from Shanhaiguan.

When Huang Taiji heard the news, he sent someone to ask him why he didn't continue to attack.

The explanation given by Dorgon is that because it is currently the severe winter, the soldiers are wearing heavy clothes and it is inconvenient to climb, and the artillery of Dazhou is too fierce, the subordinates have suffered too many casualties, and they want to recharge their batteries. Continue to attack Shanhaiguan.

The Jin army stopped attacking, and the Dazhou defenders in Shanhaiguan breathed a sigh of relief.

Among them, Feng Ziying is the happiest.

After he saw La Aunt Su Ma's alluring face, he kept dreaming about it, for fear that he would accidentally injure La Aunt Su Ma when the two armies were fighting.

However, what they didn't know was that there were bandits in Shenjing City.

Due to successive years of severe drought in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the excessive levies of miscellaneous taxes, a large number of people were displaced. Hundreds of thousands of refugees flooded into Shenjing City and became beggars.

These people had no clothes to cover their bodies, no food to eat, so they simply gathered together and robbed their homes.

These gangs range from dozens of people to hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.

It just so happened that Huang Taiji personally conquered Lin Danhan of the Chahar tribe, and the Ming Dynasty sent the Jingying Jiedu envoy Wang Ziteng to lead the Beijing camp to rescue Lin Danhan, resulting in the lack of troops in Shenjing and giving these gangsters a chance to strengthen their strength.

Seeing this situation, Jia Rong of Ningguo Mansion also moved to fish in troubled waters.

Since Jia Zhen was seriously ill and was bedridden, Jia Rong sat on the mountain and almost squandered all her family property.

In order to maintain a luxurious life, he and Jia Qiang gathered all the naughty children in the old school, and hired a group of idlers with money to rob and burn everywhere with their faces covered.

This is exactly what the saying goes - "If you are well-trained, you may be a strong beam in the future."

As the city of Shenjing became more and more chaotic, Jia Rong became more and more courageous, and even made his mind on the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Rong, as an inhumane eunuch, is psychologically distorted and perverted. When he becomes crazy, he becomes lawless. He has no king and no father. There is nothing he dare not do.

He had heard that Jiamu's dowry was rich, and Yuanyang usually took care of the dowry.

In order to make a fortune, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang secretly discussed, took advantage of the night, covered their faces with black cloth, and led their men to lie in ambush outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion with various weapons.

The gate of Rongguo Mansion is thick and high, and there are a large number of guards guarding it with weapons. It is not easy to attack.

But Jia Rong bought Leng Zixing.

Leng Zixing is Zhou Rui's son-in-law. He lied that there were bandits outside and wanted to escape into Rongguo Mansion, so he tricked Zhou Rui's family into opening the east corner gate of Rongfu Mansion.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, who were ambushing on both sides of the door, took the opportunity to lead the gangsters to rush in.

Leng Zixing had often heard the sarcastic remarks of this mother-in-law of Zhou Rui's family before, and he had always held a grudge against this mean-spirited mother-in-law, so he stabbed Zhou Rui's family to death while taking advantage of the chaos.

The nursing homes of Rongguo Mansion were caught off guard and had no time to stop them.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang led more than [-] gangsters into the depths of Rongfu.

There are only more than one hundred people in Rongfu's nursing home, and they can't stop it at all.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang went straight to Rongqingtang to arrest Jiamu and force her to hand over all the property of Rongfu.

At this time, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang led Jia Baoyu, Jia Cong, Jia Huan and other main masters of the Jia family to Jinling. The master, and Li Wan, the daughter-in-law.

Lai Da, the housekeeper, is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he doesn't know where to hide.

Mother Jia has also experienced many ups and downs, but she has never seen such a terrifying battle, and the expression of fear can't help showing on her always steady old face.

"It would have been great if Chen'er was here. He is highly skilled in martial arts, and he will certainly be able to resolve this crisis. Unfortunately, he is far away in the south of the Yangtze River." Jia Mu shook her head and sighed helplessly.

At the critical moment, Jia Tanchun stood up. Although she was not good at martial arts, she had a heroic spirit. She held a long sword and commanded the guards to resist bravely.

But the thieves were so powerful that the guards were outnumbered and retreated steadily.

Under the leadership of Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, the bandits approached Rongqingtang step by step.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu came back under the escort of Dai Quan.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu asked Dai Quan for a long sword and rushed into Rongguo Mansion.

Dai Quan also ordered Suzaku, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, to command [-] Jinyiwei, and follow Lin Daiyu to rush in.

In order to protect Jia Chen's safety, Dai Quan left a hundred Jinyi guards to secretly guard Jia Chen.

Therefore, there were only [-] Jinyiwei left around him.

The battle situation was reversed immediately, and the gangsters were caught in a double attack.

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang fled in a hurry.

Now the direction of the main gate is full of Jinyiwei, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang had no choice but to flee towards the east corner gate.

When they passed by Lixiangyuan, Jia Rong suddenly remembered that Xue Pan, Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue lived here.

This time he failed to plunder the property of the Rong Mansion, if he could kidnap Xue Pan and force the Xue family to pay money to redeem him, it would not be a waste of time.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong told Jia Qiang this idea.

Jia Qiang immediately agreed.

The two led the gangsters to rush into Lixiangyuan, but found that Xue Pan was not there, only Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were hiding in the house.

Seeing this, Jia Rong ordered Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to be kidnapped together.
