Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 27 Hanako shoots away
  On this day, Wang Jinjun had something to do, so he only taught for half a day, and then ordered Jia Cong to go home and practice on his own. Over the past few days, he has also seen that Jia Cong is not only talented, but also able to endure hardships, and can also be self-disciplined. He values ​​him more and more in his heart, and wants to teach him with all his money and pass on the mantle.

Jia Cong had just had lunch after returning home and was about to take a nap when he saw Jia Huan walk in.

"Brother Cong, come out with me to play." Jia Huan had heard that Jia Cong was coming back and hurried over.

"You little brat, why should I fight with you? Just go away and don't disturb my sleep." Jia Cong laughed and scolded. Qingwen also glared at Jia Huan. She couldn't bear to let anyone disturb Jia Cong's rare lunch break.

"No, you must go out with me today, otherwise I will definitely be scolded to death by the third sister." Jia Huan pulled Jia Cong's arm and acted shamelessly.

"What's wrong with you?" Jia Cong said helplessly.

"Today I finally persuaded the third sister to help her run errands and buy things. If the purchase is not good, she will definitely not let me buy it again in the future. So you go and watch for me." Jia Huan said pitifully. Xi said, he can only call him Jia Cong in this mansion.

Jia Lian will definitely ignore him. Jia Baoyu is his business competitor and it is impossible for him to help. Besides, after the last jade-throwing incident, Jia Huan and Jia Baoyu have become even more estranged.

Jia Cong shook his head and laughed. It turns out that Jia Huan must have volunteered to be a comprador and defrauded Tan Chun of his money in order to get kickbacks.

"How much did you deceive Third Sister?"

"What do you mean by lying? It sounds so ugly. Not much, only five." Jia Huan stretched out a hand and said proudly.

Jia Cong said: "You are so evil that even your own sister will not let you go. She has to save five ounces of money for two months."

"Didn't I learn this from you?" Jia Huan said unconvinced, "I only got five taels of silver, and you have hundreds of taels of silver with just one mouthful, and you still blame me. If you don't help me this time, don't expect me to help you in the future. is you."

Jia Cong blushed and changed the topic: "Ahem, what did the third sister want you to buy?"

"Hey, they are just some worthless trinkets, such as small baskets made of willow branches, incense boxes fastened with bamboo roots, wind stoves made of clay, little people and animals carved from wood, and the like. One ounce of money can bring her a car back, and we can also give her four ounces of money, hehe." Jia Huan said very loyally.

"Thanks to your high righteousness, I won't do it. You can keep it by yourself. I will accompany you today, and I won't do it next time."

"Okay." Jia Huan was overjoyed. He just happened to have four ounces of money by himself.

  Cong and Huan, together with Wangcai and Qian Huai, rode out of Xuanwumen, followed the tea and food alley, turned to Haibei Temple Street, and went straight to Liulichang.

Liulichang is similar to a square market, covering an extremely large area. It specializes in antiques, calligraphy, paintings and various handicrafts. It is one of the most prosperous commercial centers in the outer city.

Jia Cong was riding on his horse and saw that the square was filled with human heads. Countless collectors, brokers, swindlers, and fat sheep gathered here, engaging in intrigues and intrigues.

"You can't walk anymore. Get off the horse." Jia Cong asked Jia Huan to get off the horse and let the two boys hold the horse.

"Boss, let's go back. There are many people here, what if we bump into them accidentally?" Wangcai advised.

Qian Huai hurriedly agreed: "How about we find a quiet place for you two to have a cup of tea first. If you want anything, I can buy it for you. Wouldn't it be convenient?"

"You don't know the goods, so I have to go there myself." Jia Huan waved his hand, pulled Jia Cong into the crowd.

Jia Cong had no choice but to follow him closely, fearing that something might happen to him.

"Two gentlemen..." The surging crowd had already separated Qian Huai and Wangcai, and it was even more inconvenient for them to hold their horses.

"Brother Huan, please slow down." Jia Cong took Jia Huan's hand. This kid was like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins. He didn't know where to go in the blink of an eye.

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this place." Jia Huan said with a smile, "Let's go, those stalls are in front."

Under the foot of the wall next to them, squatting were six or seven beggars, draped in tattered blankets. Their eyes flickered as they scanned the crowd. Suddenly one of them said "Hey" and found two young men in rich clothes without any entourage. , shopping alone, bumping into a few people around me.

The other people looked at each other hurriedly, and they all nodded, stood up in unison, and leaned towards the two young masters from the front and back.

Jia Cong, a martial arts practitioner with a keen spiritual sense, felt that someone was peeking at him with malicious intent. He hurriedly pulled Jia Huan to look around. There were too many people and he didn't find anything unusual. However, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He frowned and was about to return. When I turned back, I suddenly saw several tall and muscular beggars surrounding me, secretly saying, "Oh no!"
  "You two gentlemen, please do your best and enjoy the meal..."

"Jia Huan, run!" Jia Cong shouted fiercely, only to feel that the surroundings were dark, and several large cloaks had blocked the sky.

Before Jia Huan could react, he was stunned on the spot. He was directly wrapped in the cloak and didn't make any sound. Jia Cong instantly bent the middle finger of his right hand to form a phoenix eye fist. He wanted to use Yaksha Tanhai to smash the throat of the beggar in front of him. Suddenly something occurred to him. , I felt a numbness all over my body, my strength suddenly disappeared, and then my jaw tightened. Someone had removed the mandibular joint, and I could no longer make a sound.

In just one breath, the beggars dispersed again, and there were no traces of the two people in the middle. No one around them noticed, and even if someone did, they didn't dare to cause trouble.

Jia Cong and Jia Cong were wrapped in ragged felt, tied up with ropes, and thrown directly into an old carriage in the alley. The carriage staggered toward the outside of the city.

Lying in the carriage, Jia Cong thought about lightning.

These people just now are by no means ordinary kidnappers. Ordinary traffickers generally dare not attack wealthy families, and they often kidnap children from ordinary families.

Moreover, ordinary kidnappers definitely don't have such sophisticated skills in breaking up muscles and bones and capturing them. Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Could it be that the enemies of the Jia family came to seek revenge? It's not like, if you want to seek revenge, you should go to Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu or Jia Rong. What's the use of looking for two bastards, yourself and Brother Huan?

Looking at them, they looked like thieves who were used to kidnapping and extortion, Jia Cong thought to himself. However, there should be no worries about their lives for the time being. If it was detrimental to them, there was no need for them to go to war to kidnap the two of them.

After walking for more than an hour, Jia Cong felt that the road was getting more and more bumpy, the movement outside was getting more and more deserted, and the sounds of birds and insects gradually became louder. It seemed that he had reached a remote place in the mountains on the outskirts.

Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and someone jumped out of the carriage with him in his arms.

A young female voice was heard: "Zhao Si, did you succeed?"

"Thanks to my junior sister, I got lucky today and met two fat sheep." A rough voice sounded, holding Jia Cong in his hands and waving it.

His eyes lit up and the blanket was lifted. Jia Cong hurriedly looked up.

In a ruined temple in the mountains, fourteen or five burly men in strange attire were scattered around, staring at him with evil intentions, and making strange laughs from time to time.

Two of them were a man and a woman.

The man is about in his early twenties, wearing coarse cloth and strong clothes, with a scarred face, a tiger's back and a wolf's waist. He is strong and powerful, and you can tell at a glance that he is not easy to mess with.

The woman is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long hair shawl, and a plain waist. She is wearing a bright red jacquard brocade cape, a lake blue landscape pattern short cotton damask jacket, willow yellow thin cotton trousers, and buffalo leather boots under her feet. He wears small boots and has a short sword hanging from his waist. She is a rare beauty with delicate features, delicate features, and heroic appearance.

When the girl saw Jia Huan bursting into tears and unable to make a sound, she waved her hand in a funny way: "Give them a chin, and we won't be afraid of him shouting in this mountain."

Zhao Si chuckled, walked over and without looking, pinched and shook his big hands, and connected the chins of Jia Cong and Jia Huan.

Jia Huan hugged Jia Cong and cried loudly. He already knew that he had been photographed by the legendary flower. Thinking of the warnings of his mother-in-law and stewards in the past, he suddenly started crying in fear.

The gangsters laughed.

"Brother, you are so timid and I didn't beat you. Why are you crying?" the girl said with a smile.

"Are you going to eat me?" Jia Huan said with tears in her eyes. She heard from the nanny that Hanako likes to eat children.

Pfft, the girl smiled: "Are you delicious?"

Jia Huan hurriedly shook his head, "My meat is sour and not tasty at all."

"Then are you going to break our legs and become little beggars?" Jia Huan asked again.

The girl sneered and said, "Don't worry, we don't even bother to do such dirty things."

Jia Cong had clearly seen the situation at this time, pinched Jia Huan secretly, gave him a look to stop talking nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "You guys have invited my brother here. If you have any advice, you might as well tell him. Why beat around the bush.”
