The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 323 Xue Fool made a surprising statement

The temple in front of you is the family temple of the Xue family. The coffin of the wife of the second wife of the Xue family will rest here for seven days before being buried. It is said that Kang Dayong, Kato Saburo and others planned to steal some offerings to satisfy their hunger, but as soon as they got in, the Xue family's funeral procession came to the temple gate, and the monks ran out to greet them, which was exactly what they wanted, so Kang Dayong and the other four swaggered to the main hall, picked up the sacrifices on the altar table and wolfed them down.

These four people had been hungry for a day and a night. They had been trapped in the Big Copper Mountain with little water every day. Now that they saw such a rich offering in front of them, they could not hold it back and ate like crazy, even eating. Forgot about the current situation.

However, at this moment, two young monks in charge of cutting lanterns walked into the main hall and found that the table full of offerings was in a mess. Four men full of gangster spirit seemed to be possessed by gluttony and were enjoying the offerings unscrupulously. shocked.

"Where did this lunatic come from? He is so bold! Do you know where this is? How dare you come here and destroy the tribute?" After being stunned, the two young monks finally reacted. One of them stepped forward and tried to drive him away, and dragged one of the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirate was enjoying his meal when he yelled, "Baga!" He killed the young monk with a single slash of his knife, and blood spattered all over the floor.

"Killing people!" The remaining young monk was so frightened that he ran out of the door, crawling and rolling.

Kang Dayong's expression changed and he shouted hurriedly: "Stop him quickly!"

Kato Saburo quickly pulled out his samurai sword and threw it away. As soon as the young monk ran to the door of the main hall, a cold light pierced his back. However, due to inertia, the young monk's body still rushed forward a few times. He took a step forward, tripped over the threshold with his feet, fell out with a thud, and rolled down the steps outside the door.

At this time, outside the temple gate, monks were performing rituals around the coffin. Funeral guests were waiting on both sides, while family members of the Xue family were kneeling in the middle to worship in front of the coffin. Suddenly, there was a loud thud, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a A young monk fell out of the gate with a bright samurai sword stuck in his back. He was covered in blood. There was a large area of ​​bright red on the steps, which was shocking!
The chanting and the sound of wooden fish stopped abruptly. The little monk was still breathing, and seemed to want to get up, but he soon became stiff and motionless. At this time, the crowd burst into laughter and shouted: "Killing!"

The square in front of the temple was in chaos, with monks, nuns, Taoist priests and guests running around. The chaos also caused a stampede, and there were cries and exclamations.

In the main hall, Kang Dayong glared at Kato Saburo and cursed: "You can't eat those who belong to your ancestors, leave quickly!" After saying that, he grabbed a plate of buns and stuffed them into it, then limped towards the door. When passing by the patio, I suddenly saw a Zen staff on a shelf, so I pulled it out and used it as a crutch.

Kato Saburo and the other two Japanese pirates also hurriedly hid some food on their bodies and rushed towards the gate. Saburo Kato's movements were flexible and his steps were quick. He surpassed Kang Dayong in one jump and rushed out of the temple gate first. He took three steps at a time and pulled out the samurai sword stuck on the young monk's body, and screamed strangely: "Hahahaha! "

Seeing four ruthless bandits rushing out of the palace, the people outside were so frightened that they ran away like crazy. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs.

Kato Saburo couldn't help laughing proudly when he saw this: "A group of two-legged sheep, no matter how many there are, is still food."

"You're laughing at me, uncle! Let's go!" Kang Dayong cursed and walked quickly with a Zen staff. However, when he looked up, he saw a group of soldiers in armor and swords running towards us in the distance. There was a sudden surprise. Oh no, the officers and soldiers came so quickly.

Seeing that he could no longer run away, Kang Dayong was about to turn around and hide in the temple. Suddenly he saw a group of men and women wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning shivering behind the coffin. They must be the master's family. He couldn't help but hatch a plan and shouted: "Kato." , take hostages!”

Kato Saburo immediately understood and rushed forward. While shouting in Japanese, the other two Japanese pirates quickly harassed the coffin in a "pin" shape.

The men and women hiding behind the coffin at this moment are the relatives of the Xue family who are attending the funeral. They include maids such as Aunt Xue, Baochai, Baoqin, Xue Pan, Xue Biao, Xiangling, Ying'er and Wen Xing.

Aunt Xue was so frightened that she almost fainted, and her body was trembling like a sieve. Xue Baochai's pretty face was pale and terrified, but she still held her mother tightly with her left hand, and hugged her cousin Xue Baoqin with her right hand. The latter put her face in fear He was buried in her arms, trembling uncontrollably, while Xiangling, Ying'er and other maids were also huddled together.

Kang Dayong glanced across Xue Baochai's appearance. When he saw Xue Baochai's appearance, his fierce eyes suddenly fluctuated. He couldn't hide his surprise and secretly said: "Hey, what a beautiful little girl."

I saw the woman in front of me with a face like a silver moon, eyes like apricots, lips that were not dotted but red, eyebrows that were not painted but green, her skin was as white as jade and as smooth as gelatin, as if she had just peeled a fresh lychee, and her whole body was as if it were carved from beautiful jade. , the apricot eyes are clear and bright, flexible and flexible. Although the expression is panic at this moment, the gentle and dignified aura still rushes over, and the four words "every lady" are interpreted all over her body.

Kang Dayong couldn't help but compare the women of the Lin family whom he had just glimpsed, and found that the two women were both good at winning, and it was hard to tell them apart!

Xue Baochai was already frightened and uneasy, but when she suddenly saw the bandit leader staring at her, she became even more frightened. She hurriedly lowered her head and eyebrows, and Aunt Xue subconsciously protected her daughter behind her.

Although the fourteen-year-old Xue Biao was mediocre, he was still quite responsible. Even though he was scared to death, he still fearfully stood in front of the female relatives and shouted: "Crazy people must not be rude!"

Kang Dayong laughed evilly: "The boy is quite smart, better than this trash!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pulled out Xue Pan, who had stuck his butt out from under the coffin.

Xue Pan was grabbed by one leg and carried backward by Kang Dayong. Although he was frightened out of his wits, he did not change his dandy habits. He screamed in horror and reprimanded sternly: "Thief, let go of you, Uncle Xue, you dare to hurt me." I'll pick your skin carefully with every hair on my head."

Kang Dayong smiled: "How dare you threaten me, Kang Dayong, you loser?"

Xue Pan lost his voice and said: "You...are you Kang Dayong?"

Yingtian Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion are only separated by the Yangtze River. The ruthless bandit Kang Dayong has been robbing and killing people in recent times. He has a strong reputation. How could Xue Pan have never heard of it, so hearing this name almost made his crotch wet.

Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and the other girls also lost their beauty and their hearts were filled with fear. They only thought that if they fell into the hands of this fierce bandit today, their lives might not be saved.

"Stop, let him go!" A sudden shout sounded, like spring thunder on the tongue.

Xue Baochai's delicate body trembled slightly. The voice seemed a bit familiar. She subconsciously raised her eyes and suddenly froze, as if she had been cast under a immobilizing spell.

The person who made this shout was naturally Jia Huan. He was seen reining in his horse ten meters away, with a stern look on his face, and his eyes sternly and firmly staring at Kang Dayong. A dozen soldiers behind him rushed forward with a roar, and presented themselves. The crescent moon stood in front of Jia Huan, with swords and guns raised, full of murderous intent.

"Three..." Ying'er recognized Jia Huan at a glance and was so surprised that she almost blurted out, but Xue Baochai secretly pulled her and quickly closed her mouth cleverly. After a few years, Jia Huan has changed a lot. Not only has he grown a lot taller, but his appearance and temperament have also changed to a certain extent. Aunt Xue did not recognize it for a while. She saw a group of officers and soldiers falling from the sky, and the leader was a young scholar. Surprised and puzzled, he cried out sadly: "Help me, little general!"

Although Jia Huan was wearing a scholar's robe at the moment, the scholar leading the army seemed to have never been seen, so Aunt Xue simply called him "little general!"

Xue Baoqin was very scared and buried his head in his cousin's arms. At this time, he couldn't help but look up and saw a tall and straight young man sitting on the horse. He was wearing a jade-colored scholar's robe and had sharp eyebrows. His eyes were as rich as jade, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart: "Could this child be..."

Although this little sister Xue is only eleven or twelve years old, she is very smart. She has traveled with her father since she was a child. She is quite knowledgeable and her talent and appearance are not inferior to those of her cousin Xue Baochai. Therefore, even though she has never met Jia Huan, she can vaguely guess it at this moment. the identity of the other party.

It is said that Jia Huan is now famous and has risen to prominence. In addition, he was praised by Emperor Qian Sheng some time ago, and his reputation is even more famous. Moreover, Xue Baoqin often hears from maids such as cousin Xue Baochai and Ying'er Xiangling. Talking about Jia Huan's past deeds, so when I saw the young man wearing scholar's clothes and leading a group of fierce soldiers, I immediately thought of him.

Kang Dayong had seen Jia Huan outside the Yangzhou city gate before, so he recognized him at a glance. It was his enemy who was extremely jealous when they met. He gritted his teeth and uttered two words: "Jia Huan!"

Kang Mansion was copied by Jia Huan, and Kang Dayong's repeated failures were also caused by Jia Huan. Even his current desperate situation was due to Jia Huan, so he hated Jia Huan deeply.

Xue Pan thought that Jia Huan looked familiar. When he heard Kang Dayong shout the word "Jia Huan", his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted like a butchered pig: "Brother Huan, I am your brother Xue."

Xue Baochai's heart skipped a beat, the secret channel was broken!

Sure enough, when Kang Dayong heard this, he immediately grabbed the collar behind his neck, turned Xue Pan around, and asked: "Do you know Jia Huan?"

At this time, Dai Shilin also arrived with hundreds of officers and soldiers, surrounding Kang Dayong and the four men. Kato Saburo and the other two Japanese pirates retreated in fear.

Seeing this, Xue Pan was very proud. He was instantly emboldened and said coaxingly: "Not only do we know each other, Brother Huan is also my cousin. We are relatives. Those who know each other will let me go immediately, otherwise I will let you know the word "death". Write!"

Jia Huan was speechless. He really didn't understand why there was such a big difference between the same mother. Sister Bao was so smart, but the eldest brother was so incompatible. Could it be that his head was caught in the door when he was born?

Kang Dayong was originally a little worried that Jia Huan would not be threatened, but after hearing this, he felt reassured and said with a grin: "It turns out you are still relatives, so that's easy to handle!"

Jia Huan said calmly: "Brother, I, Jia Huan, don't know you, let alone a relative. Don't have random relationships, which will harm yourself."

Anyone with a little bit of brain would know what Jia Huan meant by saying this, but Xue Pan was the brainless one. Hearing this, his eyes widened and he said unhappily: "Brother Huan, what do you mean by this? That's right. , you are just a concubine of the Jia family, and we have nothing to do with each other in terms of blood relationship, but my aunt is your aunt, whether you admit it or not, we are all cousins.

To take a step back, we were classmates in the Jia family together. If you don’t care about family ties, you should care about the friendship between classmates, right?
Don't forget, when you helped Ling go south, Uncle Xue and I didn't even sleep. I rushed out early in the morning and gave you three hundred taels of silver. Although the silver was my sister's personal money, I also worked hard. Just running some errands, right? Now that you are prosperous, have you started to let go of your old feelings? You don’t care about our life or death, and it’s in vain that my sister is so kind to you. Baba gave you money and even made insoles for you! Bah, Jia Huan, I, Xue Pan, misjudged you."

Jia Huan couldn't help but dumbfounded. No matter how clever he was, it would be in vain to hook up with such a bad guy.

Xue Baochai was angry and ashamed at the moment. The reason why she gave Jia Huan three hundred taels at first was because it was the writing fee for the script of "The Peach Blossom Fan", and the several pairs of insoles were purely out of pity and sympathy for Jia Huan. Now Xue Pan said it in public, but it made it seem like he had a lifelong private engagement with Brother Huan. How would he see anyone after the news spread?

When Xue Baochai saw her cousin Xue Baoqin looking at her strangely, she felt even more embarrassed and couldn't help but said angrily: "Brother, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not telling you what. My sister did give Jia Huan three hundred taels of silver and insoles. I opened the package and took a peek at it secretly. You are sincere to him, but now she doesn't care about our lives..."

"Brother, stop talking!" Even though Xue Baochai had always been calm and calm, seeing Xue Pan's words getting more and more outrageous, he almost burst into tears.

"Oh, why are you so impatient? If you don't say it, don't say it. Huan Laosan is ungrateful, so you can't say it..." Xue Pan muttered and closed his mouth.

Jia Huan was completely speechless at this time. He looked at Xue Baochai subconsciously. Seeing the latter's shameful and angry look, his heart beat slightly faster. It turned out that those insoles were received by Sister Baochai herself?
Kang Dayong glanced at Jia Huan, then at Xue Baochai, turned his eyes and said: "Jia Huan, since you said you don't know this guy, you might as well kill him." After saying that, he put his right hand on Xue Pan's head and tried to twist it. .

"Ah!" Aunt Xue almost fainted from fright, and Xue Baochai also turned pale.

"Stop!" Jia Huan shouted coldly.

Kang Dayong couldn't help but smile with success and said ferociously: "Jia Huan, if you have the guts, keep pretending. Once you kill this idiot, I will operate on your woman!" He pointed at Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. Aunt Xue couldn't help scolding: "You bastard, don't talk nonsense and ruin my son's reputation."

"Shut up, believe it or not, I will kill you stupid woman first!" Kang Dayong shouted fiercely.

Aunt Xue shivered with fright, but she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Jia Huan sighed and said, "Kang Dayong, what do you want to do to let me go?"
