serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 52
From a distance, the eunuch arched his hands: "Uncle Jia, the miscellaneous family is not feeling well, and I have offended you for not being able to meet him far away!" Then he said to the people around him: "Hurry up, arrange a banquet, and the miscellaneous family wants to invite uncle." Eat wine."

Jia Hu's face was expressionless, but the corners of his eyes twitched imperceptibly. An eunuch wanted to treat him to a drink, what a fucking fuck.

It's hard to push, and it's hard to agree, after all, this is the emperor's confidant eunuch.

At this moment, a soldier guarding the gate hurried over and whispered something in Jia Hu's ear.

Jia Hu nodded.

The eunuch took a step forward and said to Jia Hu: "Please come to the house, the miscellaneous family will hold a banquet for the uncle!" He gave up his hand.

Jia Hu smiled and nodded: "The manager is serious. The manager is a confidant of the saint, so I should invite you. But there is still something to do today. I will invite the manager another day."

The chief eunuch bowed slightly and said, "Where is that! The miscellaneous family just served a few years in front of the saint with a little stupid and loyal status, but they dare not show their merits. However, I still know some people in this capital. If there is anything important, maybe the miscellaneous family can help."

The smile on Jia Hu's face suddenly disappeared: "What? Do I have to report to you what I do? If you are really curious, we can go to the study and talk about it, don't you dare?" After finishing speaking, he ignored the eunuch and others People, turned and walked towards the door.

The chief eunuch and the eunuch in charge met their eyes.

Inside Chongwen Gate, more than [-] riders escorted Jia Hu's carriage and drove slowly towards the West Market, followed by an old and worn-out carriage at a distance.

In the carriage, Jia Hu closed his eyes and sat upright. From the abnormal reactions of the chief eunuch and the eunuch in charge, he noticed something abnormal. It's an injustice!

At this time, Lin San's voice came from outside the window: "Second Master, there is a carriage following us from afar."

"Oh?"

Jia Hu was a little surprised, and a suspicious cloud flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He was probably a spy from the Zhenfu Division or the Criminal Division, so he said: "Don't worry about it, go to the West Market to buy some gifts first, and then go to Yandai Xiejie Get cakes for the fourth girl."

"Yes."

Lin San hesitated for a moment, but waved to the two soldiers behind him, ignored them, and walked straight to the West Market.

Arms Bureau, in the duty room.

The eunuch in charge knelt on the ground, the chief eunuch walked back and forth quickly with a livid face, and said as he walked, "Tell me, did he find something?"

The eunuch in charge: "Godfather, it's just an abandoned waterwheel, don't worry too much."

The eunuch stopped in his tracks, his eyes flashed faintly: "He must have become suspicious, otherwise why did he ask the miscellaneous family to go to the study? He is threatening the miscellaneous family!"

The eunuch in charge: "However, it has been more than two years. My son thought that the most urgent thing is to kill all the craftsmen who participated in the production of self-generated firecrackers. And we can't make a big mistake. There was a crack in the T-shaped stove in Yipeng, so we sent them over. , a fire will destroy everything.”

The chief eunuch nodded, then shook his head again, "As the saying goes, 'If you want others to know, you can't do it yourself'. As long as the person surnamed Jia checks, he will definitely be able to find out."

Speaking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, "The only way is to get rid of Jia together!"

The eunuch in charge trembled.

The eunuch: "What's wrong?"

The eunuch in charge: "Assassination of an official ordered by the court is a capital crime, and Jia Hu is a relative of the emperor, so this is to punish the family."

The eunuch suddenly burst into laughter, and then yelled almost out of control: "If this matter is exposed, the three tribes will be punished by God, and we will all be punished by the nine tribes! Execute the nine tribes!"

The eunuch in charge was stunned for a moment, eunuchs are people who have lost their roots, but if they are punished by the nine clans, they will really lose their incense.

The eunuch: "Go and tell them that Jia Hu became suspicious, and asked about the waterwheels in those manors on the south bank of the Yongding River." He paused, "As long as the news of Jia Hu's attack comes, the miscellaneous family will come and see you." But if they leave with peace of mind, their princes will feel completely at ease."

The face of the eunuch in charge gradually turned pale, and his voice trembled: "Yes."

Yandai Xiejie is located in front of the Drum Tower of Di'anmenwai Street. It is one of the rare Xiejie Streets in the capital. Not far away is Shichahai. The slender street looks like a cigarette pole. To the south, it looks like a cigarette pot from a distance, so it is called Yandai Xiejie.

The street mainly deals in antiques, calligraphy and painting, mounted paintings and snacks, etc. It is the favorite place of the predecessor. Every time, I will bring some pastries back to Xichun. Bring some pastries home.

Jia Hu's luxurious carriage couldn't get in at all, so it had to stop at the street corner. Accompanied by four soldiers, Jia Hu walked out of the shop carrying pastries.

Suddenly there were a lot of people on the street, all of them were strong men, a group of five or six steps, ten or so steps, gathered there far away, talking a lot, Jia Hu paused, he found that the eyes of these people were always intentional. Unintentionally sweeping towards him, the four soldiers looked at each other vigilantly, and at the same time reached out to hold the handle of the knife.

Jia Hu was still walking towards the street unhurriedly. At this moment, a woman walked out of the door with a baby in her arms, her head bowed, and she kept humming.

The two soldiers walking in front became more vigilant, looked at each other quickly, and pulled out their knives together.

Getting closer and closer, the woman was walking back and forth in front of the door with her baby in her arms, passing by. Suddenly, the woman threw the baby in her arms at Jia Hu, turned around and ran into the door.

A black ball rolled down to Jia Hu's feet, and the four soldiers were shocked: "Thunderstorm?!"

However, Jia Hu stomped out the fuze that was emitting black smoke. There was a deathly silence, and everyone's eyes widened.

"Run!" Jia Hu yelled holding the pastry and ran to the street.

Lin San and the others who were standing by the carriage also noticed the abnormality, and rushed in together holding knives.

At this moment, a group of men in black appeared from nowhere, standing in front of him in a row, facing Jia Hu with their knives in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, those strong men who had been watching the excitement pulled out their hidden knives one after another, some of them faced Lin San and the others, and more shouted loudly, holding their knives and killing Jia Hu.

"kill!"

Throwing away the pastry in his hand, Jia Hu drew out the sword from his waist and went up to kill.

Four personal soldiers rushed forward.

With the sword in Jia Hu's hand, he heard two screams, and then two bloody heads flew up, one turned around and thrust the sword across the neck of a killer, and pulled hard, the man fell to the ground clutching his neck.

At this time, Yandai Xiejie has become a mess.

The soldiers were held back by the killer, Jia Hu was also surrounded, and the fighting between the two sides became more and more intense.

Jia Hu fought vigorously in the siege, the sword in his hand was flying up and down, his moves were fierce, blood was splashed all over his face and body, as long as he waited for a while, the soldiers and horses patrolling the city would come to support him, so he Not in a hurry to expend energy and rush out.

A soldier shouted: "General, be careful!"

Jia Hu hurriedly lowered her body, only to hear a "chi" sound, and a piece of the clothes on her back was cut.Jia Hu slashed with his backhand, only to hear the sound of "Dang", and the flames splashed everywhere!

Lin San was furious immediately, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Kill!" He rushed over madly, slashing left and right all the way, shouts, howls and the sound of hand-to-hand combat.

The opponent had an absolute advantage in numbers, but Lin San and the others relied on their armor to rampage through the crowd. The ground was covered with corpses, and some brave people watched the battle on the street through the crack of the door, bloody and cruel.

Four personal soldiers closely guarded Jia Hu, and twenty or thirty killers surrounded Jia Hu and the others. At this moment, several killers threw their long knives at Jia Hu and the others together!
The four soldiers hurriedly raised their knives to block them, only to hear a few "ding dongs", two of the soldiers were still hit by the knife in their legs, and fell to the ground with two "plops".

At this moment, a man in black swung a heavy broad-backed sword at Jia Hu while taking advantage of the gap. A soldier pushed Jia Hu, but his left arm was cut off.

A cloud of anger suddenly rose from Jia Hu's heart, and as soon as he gave away the sword in his hand, he directly pierced through the chest of the man in black, grabbed his broad-backed sword, and tore off his robe with a sound of "嗤——" The black soft armor inside held the handle of the knife with both hands and slashed at the killer who came up. The killer just wanted to raise the long knife to block, but was split in half by Jia Hu's company with the knife, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Jia Hu looked like a mad tiger, with a big knife flying in his hand, the light of the knife flashed, and heads flew high. Charged up, Jia Hu danced a big knife flying up and down, invincible, and hacked to death nine killers in a row.

Several men in black swarmed up and surrounded Jia Hu, and more than ten people led the remaining killers to stick to Lin San and the others.

Jia Hu's heart tightened, the eyes of these men in black were shining brightly, and the strong murderous aura on their bodies meant that they were all soldiers.

Several men in black looked at each other and approached slowly step by step. Jia Hu pulled out his belt from his waist calmly and wrapped his hands around the handle of the knife. At this time, a man in black held up The long knife slashed at Jia Hu. Jia Hu shortened his body and cut off one of his calves with a move of the ground knife. Then a carp straightened up and rushed towards the remaining people. The necks of the men in black were cut open immediately, and the knife sank in the end, cutting off the right arm of the man in black, and the remaining three retreated crazily.

Jia Hu chopped off the head of the man in black with the broken leg, then stepped on the chest of the man in black with the broken arm, and picked off his turban with a knife, revealing his bald head and the money rattail braid.

"Tartar!"

At this moment, a group of cavalry appeared at the west end of the street, and then, the cavalry suddenly launched.

Jia Hu was slightly taken aback, the one who ran at the front of the cavalry with a knife turned out to be the martial arts general Feng Tang!
Although there were only a few dozen cavalrymen, the momentum was astonishing, the sword light flashed, and heads flew high.
