Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 133 The fight between trapped beasts
  Lin Ruhai's interior

Jia Cong sat calmly on the Grand Master's chair, holding a silk scarf and gently wiping the cold blade of the sword.

Lin Ruhai sat at the desk, reviewing official documents without any distractions, smiling and nodding from time to time, obviously quite satisfied with the recent salt affairs affairs.

Daiyu sat next to Jia Cong, looking at her father and her lover for a while. Her heart was pounding, and she was frightened and frightened. In the hundred years since the founding of the country, she had never heard of any thieves dared to attack the Yanyuan Yamen. It was very annoying. Dad and brother Cong acted like nothing was wrong, making people not worried.

Liushuang, Shuiyue, Qingwen, Qianxue and others were even more anxious and restless, but they did not dare to make any sound, so they just twisted their handkerchiefs into twists.

"Dad, brother Cong, what are you doing? Since you know there is a thief, why don't you summon the Yangzhou Prefecture and County Yamen and the Guards Station and ask them to send troops to catch the thief?" Daiyu couldn't help but said angrily.

Jia Cong joked: "Hey, when did Qi'er read the art of war and even thought about asking for help? I thought you wanted us to hide in Yangzhou Guards."

"Bah, how long have I been treating you as a foul-mouthed person? You're still not serious." Daiyu pinched Jia Cong's arm hard.

"Don't worry, Yu'er. My father and Governor Gu have been prepared for this matter for a long time. A few thieves are trying to destabilize the salt law, and they are just using the mantis' arms as a cart." Lin Ruhai said with a smile.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "My uncle has a clever plan. The news I heard yesterday seems superfluous."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said: "The information sent by the salt merchants is naturally useful. I was just taking precautions before it happened. I didn't expect that anyone would dare to risk the world's disapproval. Now it is naturally more foolproof."

Jia Cong said: "This time I will kill him without leaving any trace! Let those desperadoes never dare to look at the Yanyuan again."

Lin Ruhai nodded and warned: "Brother Cong, now that you have the chance to win, you can't take risks rashly."

Daiyu said hurriedly: "What dad said is that he is the most reckless. When he sees a thief, he will rush towards him at the risk of his life, as if his own life is a child's play."

As he spoke, he took Jia Cong's hand and said sternly: "Brother Cong, did you hear that? You are not allowed to act recklessly today. If you get hurt, I, I will ignore you again."

Jia Cong secretly laughed in his heart. Daiyu's voice was soft and gentle. Although her words were sharp and harsh, she was more delicate and charming than usual. He hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here. There are strong people and horses in the Yamen today. I'm just supervising the battle from behind. Where can I go?" I will put myself at risk."

Daiyu felt slightly relieved, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "This is what you said. If you make the same mistake again, please be careful."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Lin Ruhai watched the two children flirting with each other, twirling his beard and smiling happily, Madam, you should have smiled when you saw the good son-in-law I chose for you in Heaven, and when you saw Yu'er so happy now.

  Almost at the same time, Feng Chang, the leader of the Dahe Gang's Black Tiger Hall, the "Living Hell King", and Mao Tong, the leader of the Qinglong Hall, rushed directly into the Yanyuan Yamen from the front and back doors.

Feng Chang carried a sword with a ghost head and rushed in through the slightly hidden corner door next to the main gate. He didn't even look at the public rooms with lights on the Yanyuan Yamen on both sides, and went straight to the Salt Patrol Censor and the Censor Qianshi on duty.

Mao Tong led people to the back of the Yamen. The lock of the back door had already been opened by the insider. He pushed the door gently and broke in. Without hesitation, he separated a stream of people and went to the wing where Jia Cong lived. The main force went straight to Lin Ruhai's residence.

Obviously they are very familiar with the layout of the Yanyuan, and intelligence shows that several important people are in the Yamen. At this point, they can't fly to the sky if they are not in the public room but in the bedroom or study.

Suddenly, Feng Chang and Mao Tong, who were rushing in front and back, paused for a moment. They felt something was wrong. After all, they were Lao Jianghu. After a brief thought, they understood that it was said that the Yanyuan Yamen had been busy from top to bottom in the past two days, forgetting to eat and sleep. Why was there only one person inside? See the lights on but no one? It was quiet all around, as quiet as a tomb!
  "No! Retreat immediately!" The two hall masters made this judgment almost at the same time. All the bandits are selected fierce men, and they don't panic when they fall into a trap. Think of Yan Ding as a weak man, so what is there to fear? Now that there are hundreds of elite members of the gang here, and they are led by two hall leaders who have experienced hundreds of battles, what do they have to fear? If you want to come, you can come, if you want to leave, just fight your way out.

"It's too late!" Suddenly, there was a sound, and countless salt guards and government officials armed with guns and armor rushed out of the public buildings on both sides. At the same time, the door behind them suddenly opened, and a large group of guards officers and soldiers rushed in, bows and swords unsheathed, blocking the way. When the retreat was over, one of the leaders, Qian Hu from the Guard House, stepped in and stood with his sword in front of him with a sneer!

The situation at the back door was almost the same. Countless salt guards, government officials, officers and soldiers poured out from various rooms in the inner house and from outside the back door, surrounding the back house. There was also a Qianhu who was in command.

"He Fang Xiaoxiao dares to break into the Yanyuan Yamen without permission. How long will it take before he is captured?" Zhao Qianhu said coldly.

Feng Chang didn't answer. Hearing the shouts of killing coming from the backyard, he knew that someone was plotting against him today. He whispered: "Brothers, follow me and fight out!" After saying that, he suddenly rushed towards the door. As long as the two sides were entangled, Feng Chang didn't answer. At the same time, bows and arrows are useless, and these officers and soldiers cannot stop them.

"Kill!" Zhao Qianhu waved his hand.

Arrows fell like rain, and with a whooshing sound, many fierce bandits were hit by arrows, but they did not fall down. Instead, they casually pulled out the arrow shafts and threw them to the ground, and still rushed towards the officers and soldiers like crazy tigers.

The soldiers of these inland guards have been out of battle formations for a long time, their armaments are weak, and the bows and stones they use are not strong enough. It is impossible to effectively kill them unless they hit the vital points. In addition, the soldiers they encountered this time were all desperate bandits, which made the officers and soldiers even more weak. .

Being attacked by hundreds of fierce bandits, although the number of officers, soldiers, saltmen, etc. was several times greater, they could only withstand it and did not take any advantage.

  Jia Cong suddenly heard the cry of killing in the backyard. Hundreds of ambushed saltmen rushed out and surrounded Lin Ruhai's inner room like an iron barrel.

"Third Master, hundreds of thieves have rushed into the yamen, and the front and rear groups are surrounded. Please tell me, Third Master." Yan Shuangying stepped into the room excitedly and reported.

It's a good thing that he didn't come to report. When Jia Cong heard this, he felt itchy, rubbed his hands and said, "Come out with me and have a look." Before he could finish speaking, Daiyu pinched his arm.

Jia Cong hurriedly patted Daiyu's hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm going to see the excitement. Don't worry, I'm going to watch the battle, not to fight."

"Be careful." Lin Ruhai nodded.

Jia Cong smiled and nodded, got up and left.

"Protect me carefully and don't allow him to be in danger." Daiyu had no choice but to say to Yan Shuangying.

"Don't worry, girl, Yuanba and I swear to the death not to let the thieves harm the third master." Yan Shuangying was very smart and knew that this was the future mistress, so he hurriedly bowed.

Jia Cong laughed loudly and said, "You are too careful, Qi'er. Just these few thieves want to hurt me." After saying that, he had already stepped out the door.

Daiyu looked at his handsome back and stamped her feet angrily, this bastard who didn't know a good person's heart.

Jia Cong followed the shouts of killing and ran to the end of the yard. He saw two to three hundred bandits surrounded by officers and soldiers several times his own size. The trapped beasts were still fighting, and they were extremely ferocious. Most of the people lying on the ground were his own people.

The surrounding officers and soldiers held up torches, illuminating the courtyard red. Under the light of the fire, the gangsters' eyes showed fierceness. They knew that they had only one way out today, but they were not afraid of death. They fought hard and killed the officer. The legs of the military formation were faintly loose.

Jia Cong frowned slightly. Is the combat effectiveness of the Yangzhou army so poor?
