King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 26
Xue Pan does not have great wisdom, but he still has small cleverness.

When his personal attendants found him, he immediately asked about the situation.

Knowing that it was Master Thirteen who came to the door, Xue Pan was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and he was stunned for a while before recovering.

Originally, according to his thinking, when encountering problems that cannot be solved, he just hides.

But thinking of his mother and younger sister at home, how could Xue Pan leave him alone, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come back.

There are three members of their family, Baochai is the smartest, that's why Xue Pan went home quietly, intending to let his sister make up his mind first.

Entering the mansion, seeing the usually bustling mansion is now extremely quiet, even Xue Pan felt terrified even if he was bold.

He has caused a lot of trouble over the years, and he has also faced off against the extremely expensive family, but he has never been afraid from the bottom of his heart.

No matter how difficult it is, as long as he is willing to use money or rely on relationships, there is always a solution, but his solution is meaningless in the face of the royal family.

Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the coast of the land, who is he, Xue Pan, to fight with the prince.

Dodging all the way, Xue Pan came to his mother's courtyard.

"Madam, the uncle is back!"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue stood up in dejection, and ordered the maidservant: "Take the family law!"

Baochai stopped quickly and said, "Mother, the most urgent thing at the moment is to solve the trouble first, and punish elder brother before it's too late!"

Speaking of this, Xue Pan had already entered the gate of the courtyard, opened the bamboo curtain of the main room and entered.

But Xue Pan didn't know that there was a servant girl bought by Xue Yucheng in the courtyard, and she quietly reported him when she saw him appear.

Outside the gate of the front yard, after hearing the news, Xue Yucheng raised his head and shouted: "Please trouble the officials and tell the Thirteenth Lord that the grassroots have heard about Xue Pan!"

Jiang Shengtao, the general manager, was at the door, and upon hearing this, he immediately asked: "Where is Xue Pan now? Tell me!"

Xue Yucheng replied: "It's in the main courtyard of the inner house, talking to his mother and sister, and he won't see the Thirteenth Master in the future!"

With these words, the Xue family and Xue Pan were separated, and by the way, they also set fire to each other.

Jiang Shengtao did not delay, and quickly entered the second gate.

After hearing the report, the crowd was furious and scolded Xue Pan for being rude and disrespectful.

This man in front of him is the emperor's son-in-law, what is he, Xue Pan, who dares to sneak back and not come to see him.

"Master Thirteen, I'm going to escort him here and whip him a few times!" Jiang Shengtao begged for his life.

The Jiang family used to be the family of the marquis, but now it has been reduced to a second-class male, and if it goes down any further, it will fall out of the noble class.

Therefore, Jiang Shengtao was educated during this trip to try his best to revive the family, so it is reasonable to curry favor with Zhu Jinghong at this moment.

But I heard Hou Jing say: "Master Thirteen, this kind of rebellious person, just kill him, why waste time!"

The Hou family used to be the duke of the state, although now they are descended to the viscount, but they are very trusted by the emperor, and it is not difficult to raise the title.

So Hou Jing has the capital to kill Xue Pan by opening his mouth.

Zhu Jinghong smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "Okay... just want to kill people casually, making me look like a bad guy!"

After saying this, he got up from the chair, tightened his wristbands and said, "Since he won't come to see me, I'll go see him!"

"Find someone and lead the way!"

"Yes!"

It was too easy to find someone, so the guards randomly picked up a servant and asked him to lead the way to Xue's inner house.

To be honest, their behavior is extremely rude, but as long as the Xue family can't resist, it's no big deal.

Twenty or so guards surrounded Zhu Jinghong into Xue's inner house and appeared outside Aunt Xue's courtyard.

Seeing so many people approaching aggressively, the servants who stayed in the inner house were terrified, and then fled in all directions.

Only the maid in Aunt Xue's courtyard had the gate locked when she wanted to escape, so she could only kneel in the courtyard and shiver.

"what happened?"

Aunt Xue sent someone out to check, but saw that the guards had already entered the courtyard, she hurried back into the house in fright.

"Madam, it's not good... The officers and soldiers came in!"

Everyone in the room was shocked, even Xue Baochai, who was smart and wise, was so frightened that his face paled at this moment.

"That's Xue Pan, the Thirteenth Master summoned you, how dare you neglect, get out!"

Hearing the shouts from outside, Xue Pan was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and crawled towards his mother with all his might.

"Mother, this...how can this be done?"

"Brother, since you said that you have never seen the Thirteenth Lord, you may have misunderstood it... For the present plan, let's go out and have a look!" Baochai reminded with a steady mind.

"Sister, the thirteenth master is coming aggressively, I..."

Before Xue Pan finished speaking, he heard another shout from outside: "If you don't come out again, we can come in and get someone!"

This is the Xue family's inner house, where Aunt Xue and Baochai live. This is the last respect for the Xue family.

"Son, get out!" Aunt Xue cried.

Seeing the terrified expression of his relatives, Xue Pan felt heartbroken, and then summoned up his courage and said: "Mother, sister... I will go out now, you don't come out!"

"Master Thirteen will punish me as well, you must not be implicated!"

Getting up from the ground, Xue Pan straightened his clothes and walked out of the room resolutely.

In the courtyard outside, there were already more than a dozen guards standing, and when they saw Xue Pan appearing, someone took him down immediately.

"Your Majesty!"

Before Xue Pan could kneel on his own, his calf was kicked hard, and his knee hit the ground hard, causing him to howl in pain.

Inside the house, hearing her son's screams, Aunt Xue was heartbroken.

Even if Xue Pan is ineffective, it is still the flesh that fell from her body. How can mother and son not be heartbroken.

Eye mother wants to chase out, but Baochai hastily stops her.

Instructing the left and right maids to help her mother, Baochai boldly walked to the door of the house, hid behind the curtain and looked outside.

Seeing the maidservant kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, Xue Pan knelt in the middle of the courtyard, everyone knocked their heads on the ground and dared not move.

"Master Thirteen is here!"

After a shout from outside, Baochai saw a young man with his hands behind his back walking out of the courtyard surrounded by several guards.

The young man looked calm and looked around at his surroundings, but he was not as vicious as Baochai imagined.

"He is the Thirteenth Prince!" Baochai whispered.

Baochai could lift the curtain slightly to peek, but the Xue family kneeling in the courtyard was not so bold, and they all wanted to bury their heads in the floor tiles.

Xue Pan, who was the person involved, could not help but tremble when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

But Zhu Jinghong ignored him, walked straight in front of Xue Pan, and walked up the steps to the main house terrace.

At this moment, there is a curtain between him and Baochai, and the straight-line distance does not exceed three meters.

Even if Baochai was bolder, she didn't dare to look outside at this moment, so she had to step aside and listen carefully.

The guard moved the chair, Zhu Jinghong flicked his robe, and sat on it with Erlang's legs crossed.

Looking down at the terrified young master Xue, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Xue Pan, you are so majestic!"

How majestic am I?I have the prestige of your thirteenth master?No, why does this sound sound familiar?

Thoughts were racing through his mind, Xue Pan replied tremblingly: "Responding to Lord Thirteen's words, Xue Pan is stupid, I don't know where to offend you? Please tell Lord Thirteen clearly!"

After all, this guy is a son of a rich family, so he still has a sense of proportion in what he should say at this time.

Zhu Jinghong asked casually: "A few days ago you committed murder in the street, have you forgotten?"

"A few days ago..."

"Master Thirteen, the villain doesn't understand..."

"Could it be that you also forgot about entering Yingtian Mansion?"
