Red Mansion: Fuyao River and Mountain

Chapter 92: Killing Wang Jiazi with a Knife (First Order)

"Brother Cong, you are all brothers. If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why do you have to resort to violence?"

Jia Cong did not put down the knife. Instead, he tightened the blade towards Wang Yi's neck, scaring Wang Yi so much that he let out a strange cry.

Wang Ziteng felt ashamed and angry. This useless thing wanted to cause trouble for others, but ended up being treated like this. The Wang family had lost all their face!
"Sister Yuanyang, please tell the old lady what the Wang family kid just said to me!"

Both Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang looked at Yuanyang.

Yuanyang saw Jia Cong looking at her calmly with the cold light of the steel knife in his hand, and she thought of Wang Yi's slanderous words just now.

Ignoring Madam Wang's somewhat cold gaze, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just now, the cousin called the Third Master a whore...the bastard, so the Third Master took action."

Upon hearing this, Lady Jia, Lady Wang and others all gasped.

Yesterday in Rongqing Hall, Wang Ziteng's wife also used words to humiliate Jia Cong's biological mother, and was scolded by Jia Cong in court, leaving her humiliated.

Grandmother Jia knew that this evil boy was very protective of his biological mother.

Wang Ziteng's son is as despicable as his wife. He says hurtful things. Isn't this just stirring up a hornet's nest?

They deserve to be punished. Anyway, it’s not the Jia family who are being beaten and suffer.

But this boy is a scholar, how could he have such means?

Mrs. Wang was upset. How could Yier say such things in front of others? How could he be right?

Yi'er has been practicing martial arts since he was young, how could he not even be able to defeat him?

This brat doesn't appreciate the kindness the master has shown him and doesn't show any mercy at all. He always treats the Wang family like this. Does he still take me into consideration at all?
Mrs. Wang was filled with resentment. Her lowly mother was so precious, yet she couldn't even say a word.

Jia Cong said sternly, "What was said in Rongqing Hall yesterday is still fresh in my mind. I never thought something like this would happen again today!
I would like to ask General Wang, your Wang family has repeatedly come to humiliate me. Do you think that I, Jia Cong, am easy to bully, or do you think that my Jia family has no one and has fallen into such decline? "

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziteng was shocked. This kid had a sharp tongue and with just one sentence he dragged the matter into the dignity and respectability of the Jia family. He was instigating the Jia and Wang families to become enemies.

When Lady Jia heard this, her face darkened.

Yesterday, Wang Ziteng's wife had just caused a scene in Rongqing Hall, and today her son went even further and actually came to cause trouble, and what he said was even more unbearable to hear.

This is really too much of a disregard for the Jia family. In the past, the Jia family helped him get the high position of Jiedushi of the Capital Camp because of his relationship with the Wang family. This is how he repays our Jia family!
"Brother Cong, you two were just playing around. Yi'er's words were inappropriate and offended you, but it shouldn't have gone this far. I think we should just let it go today."

Wang Ziteng's face was gloomy. He thought that saying these words was already humble enough considering his status.

If he was not seeking the position of commander of nine provinces and needed to use the Jia family's connections, why would he condescend to talk to such a boy?

Jia Cong sneered: "How can we let him go just because he insulted someone's parents? Doesn't he have any parents or elders? Is he something that popped out of a stone?"

Wang Ziteng was so angry that he almost jumped up: "You!"

But he saw that Lady Jia had a gloomy face and did not speak a word. It was obvious that she was instigated by the boy's words and had resentment towards the Wang family.

But he couldn't find any fault with Jia Cong's words, since his son was in the wrong first.

In front of Lady Jia, Wang Ziteng was hesitant and did not dare to act rashly.

The governor of the Beijing camp, a high-ranking official, was so angry that he was almost speechless because of a brat.

Jia Cong said, "Old Madam, I said yesterday in Rongqing Hall that it is unforgivable to insult one's own mother! The Jia family has passed down military honors and bravery. We should have the courage to shed blood five steps away..."

Wang Ziteng's hair stood on end when he heard this. Could this guy dare to kill someone? If he dared to do such a cruel thing, both the Wang family and the Jia family would be finished. What position would he have to ask for help from the Jia family in the future?

After hearing what Jia Cong said, Jia Mu and others' faces changed drastically. What did this evil creature want to do? If he hurt Wang Ziteng's son, the two families would become mortal enemies.

Jia Cong raised the steel knife in his hand. The sharp blade reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight, exuding a terrifying murderous aura.

Wang Yi felt that the atmosphere was not right, and was about to get up and run away regardless of everything, but Jia Cong's kick to his knee was very strange, and he couldn't even straighten his legs. A dazzling knife light slashed down like lightning...

Wang Ziteng screamed in horror: "Stop!"

Jia's mother was about to fall, and Yuanyang rushed to support her, shouting: "Come and stop him! You evil creature, why don't you stop!"

Mrs. Wang was so frightened by Jia Cong's knife that she collapsed to the ground.

The maids and old women around him were so frightened that their faces turned pale. In the past two years, people in the mansion have been saying that Master Cong San was a powerful man. Now he has become even more terrifying, and he would use a knife to buy people's lives at any time.

The knife flashed like a sword and slashed across Wang Yi's head.

Wang Yi saw the knife flashing down like thunder and lightning.

I felt a chill on my scalp, as if my head was split open. A piercing chill spread from the top of my head down through my entire body, and I felt like I was frozen.

It was as if he had been beheaded by a knife. He was so frightened that his soul was about to escape from his body. He screamed shrilly and his whole body shook uncontrollably like a sieve, and his crotch was completely wet.

Jia Cong stared at Wang Yi with disgust, who was frightened to the point of incontinence. As arrogant and vicious as he had been when he uttered foul language just now, he looked as miserable and ugly now.

Everyone saw the flash of a knife, but did not see the blood splatter as they had imagined. Wang Yi's head was still intact.

Jia Cong's knife cut off his bun, revealing his white scalp.

The force and angle of the knife were extremely precise. The blade swept across the scalp and shaved Wang Yi's head bald without hurting any flesh.

Jia Cong said coldly: "Today, for the sake of the old lady, I will let you go. If you are not afraid of death, feel free to come and provoke me again in the future!"

Of course Jia Cong would not be so stupid as to kill someone on the spot, as that would really destroy himself.

Wang Yi seemed to be frightened and was still humming there. Wang Ziteng quickly stepped forward and slapped his son in the face. Only then did Wang Yi seem to wake up from the nightmare.

Wang Ziteng helped his son up, and seeing the mess under his son's clothes, he cursed him in his heart for being a useless beast, who was the one who caused trouble but had no ability to take responsibility.

This is a humiliation more painful than death. How can I hold my head up high in the future? It would be better if I was chopped to pieces by a knife just now!

Thinking of this, he looked at Jia Cong fiercely.

Seeing the young man holding a long sword and looking at him without showing any weakness, he was filled with an indescribable murderous aura.

Wang Ziteng's eyes flickered. As the governor of the Beijing camp, he went in and out of the military camp every day. He had only seen this kind of cold murderous aura in the old soldiers who had been involved in human deaths.

Where does a young man from a wealthy family, who is not even twenty years old, get such momentum?
Where did he learn the method of subduing Yi'er?
He didn't know that two years ago, when Jia Cong and Qu Hongxiu were fighting in the grove, he had hacked the hawk and dog of the Magistrate's Court to death with one blow after another.

The life-and-death struggle that night had left a mark on him, arousing a courage and ruthlessness that ordinary people did not have.

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Cong with unspeakable anger in his eyes.

He took his son away without saying a word, and clasped his fists in front of Lady Jia and bowed.

"Old lady, I'm sorry for offending you today!"

When he passed by Jia She, he said coldly: "Brother, you have raised a good son!"

Everyone looked at Wang Ziteng and his son as they left the Jia Mansion without looking back. Wang Yi's hair was messy like grass, and he looked like a beggar, and he seemed to be a little confused.

After hearing what Wang Ziteng said, Jia She was filled with anger and cursed: "How dare you, a beast, commit murder in public..."

As he said this, he was about to step forward and give the beast a beating as he had done before, when he suddenly saw Jia Cong looking at him coldly, the sharp blade in his hand flashing a sinister cold light.

He swallowed back the harsh words he was about to say, feeling a chill in his heart. He realized that things were different now and he no longer had the ability to deal with this beast.
