Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 231 Meeting old friends 3
  "Third Master, the execution is over." The soldiers carried the two housekeepers back like dead dogs and threw them to the ground.

Jia Cong nodded: "For the sake of the old lady, I will spare your life. If you dare to speak rudely again, you will be killed without mercy."

The two of them didn't dare to show off the housekeeper's score, so they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Jia Cong looked at Jia Lian and said, "Brother Lian has come a long way to work hard, so he will rest here for two days and take care of me when he goes back."

"Everything is up to my third brother's arrangement." Jia Lian hurriedly said with his hands in hand.

Jia Cong hummed, and suddenly heard a report from the soldiers outside the door: "Third Master, there is a quarrel between the Jurchens and the Xue family uncle in the market."

"Huh? Prepare your horse!" Jia Cong frowned slightly, got up and left.

Jia Lian heard that Xue Pan was involved and hurriedly followed him to join in the fun.

  Xue Pan said goodbye to Jia Lian and went to the market. Because of Jia Cong's relationship, the Xue family occupied six or seven of the largest and best stalls in the city market, and collected a lot of high-quality mountain furs in the past few days.

Yu Hong, Lei Tai and others took care of them, and ordinary traders did not dare to compete with them. Therefore, the business was very smooth, and they were about to make a fortune.

Today, another group of Jurchens brought more than ten carts of goods for trading. Seeing that the goods were almost collected, Han Ping, the old shopkeeper of the Xue family, thought that he would just make one payment and leave, so he had some evil thoughts.

Then he smiled and said: "Dear Jurchen heroes, you have brought a lot of goods. Our store needs to raise the transaction funds and materials in a timely manner. Please temporarily store the goods in our place and come back in the afternoon to pick up the transaction funds. How about that?"

The Jurchen man was very upright. He thought that except for this big merchant from the capital, no one else in the market could handle so many goods, so he nodded in agreement.

By the time the Jurchens came to ask for payment in the afternoon, Han Ping had already changed his face and sneered: "You have already paid and delivered the goods this morning, why do you come to ask for them again? Is there any reason to sell the same goods twice?"

"You bastard! You dare to cheat! You told us in the morning that you needed time to prepare the payment for the goods and asked us to pick them up in the afternoon, but you dare not admit it! Since you don't buy it, just return the goods to us!" All the female immortals were upright and irritable. A quarrel broke out with just one sentence.

Han Ping said loudly: "It's ridiculous. Since ancient times, when doing business, we have always counted the money and goods in person, and refused to recognize them when they left the counter! There is no reason to come to the door to extort money. I didn't give you money, how could you give the goods to me? Treat others as third parties. A young child?"

The merchants nearby were very happy, but it was the Jurchens who were being bullied, and they were happy to watch the fun.

A girl among the Jurchens came out, pointed at Han Ping and yelled: "Shameless Han, if you dare to cheat us, beat me!" Suddenly a dozen Jurchen men came forward angrily.

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait, wait!" Seeing someone making trouble in front of his stall, Xue Pan hurriedly rode over on a big horse to stop him, "What do you bunch of barbarians want to do? I can tell you, Lord Guard is a close relative of my family, so you can stop." You have to be bold.”

Seeing that he looked like a noble son, the Jurchens did not dare to attack casually, so they said: "Your people are hacking our goods!"

Xue Pan frowned and said, "That's unreasonable. I have a lot of money. To blackmail your goods is nonsense."

Han Ping hurriedly said: "Uncle, this is what happened..." After he confused right and wrong, Xue Pan was coaxed.

Xue Pan turned back to look at the Jurchens and said angrily: "You barbarians are so courageous. You dare to blackmail my family. If you don't get out of here, I will report to the guards carefully and you will be killed!"

"Bah, shameless! If you don't return the goods quickly, I'll beat you up too!" The girl pointed at Xue Pan and said angrily.

Xue Pan had already collapsed half of his body when he saw that the girl was beautiful in appearance, graceful in figure, pretty and hot. She was no worse than Xiang Ling, and she had a wild charm that was completely different from the women in the Central Plains.

With a twist of his butt, he slid off the horse and said with a sneer on his face: "Little beauty, you are willing to go with me. I guarantee that you will wear gold and silver every day, eat well and drink hot food, and you will never have to suffer in the mountains again, hehe."

Hearing his rude words, all the Jurchens shouted and cursed one after another.

The girl raised her hand to stop everyone and said with a sneer: "Why don't you pee and look at yourself? You idiot is as good as an old sow. You still want to take advantage of me. Go ahead and kill you." Everyone laughed.

Seeing that the little beauty was so good at scolding, Xue Pan was even more itchy, so he smiled and said: "Don't you want goods? As long as you come with me, I will return the goods to you and give you tens of thousands more silver." ,how?"

"Shameless! Get out of here!" The girl was so angry that she took off the short bow from her waist, pulled out a short wolf-tooth arrow from her quiver, and shot Xue Pan fiercely.    Ouch! Xue Pan screamed in pain and fell down, with an arrow deeply pierced in his thigh.

"Hurry and report to the official, the Jurchens have killed someone!" Han Ping and others hurriedly hugged Xue Pan, which immediately alerted the patrolling soldiers.

Seeing the bloody incident, the Jurchens were also a little worried. After all, in someone else's territory, if one person is not good, the goods will not come back, and the person will be unlucky.

The leading Jurchen man frowned slightly, pulled the girl and said, "Sister, you are too impulsive. We can't explain why you hurt someone."

The girl was extremely angry. This was the family's two months' savings. She was deceived and teased in the street. She couldn't bear it.

He said, "Brother, don't worry. Brother Jia said that all markets in the city are fair trades. If someone bullies me, just go to him."

This girl was Wan Yanshan whom Jia Cong met in the mountains that day, and the man was his brother Wan Yan Gu.

Wan Yangu shook his head and said, "The Han people are treacherous and their words cannot be trusted."

"Brother Jia won't lie to me." Wan Yanshan pouted her lips slightly, her face expressionless.

"What's going on! Uncle Xue, are you okay?" After a while, Yu Hong arrived with hundreds of soldiers and asked hurriedly when he saw Xue Pan lying on the ground.

"Master Yu, help me, these Jurchen barbarians want to kill people if they fail to blackmail me. My uncle was almost shot dead by them." Han Ping cried.

Yu Hong knew about the relationship between Xue Pan and Jia Cong and shouted: "You bastard! It's lawless! Take them all back to the Yamen!" With a roar, the soldiers on the side surrounded the Jurchens with their swords and guns drawn.

Wan Yangu had many dealings with Han people, so he knew the rules. He quickly raised his hands and said, "Sir, please listen to me." He immediately explained the reason.

Yu Hong frowned and said: "Based on your one-sided words, how can you be sure? If you have any grievances, come back to the Yamen with me and tell me clearly. Take them away!" After that, he was about to arrest the person.

The Jurchens were hesitating whether to resist when they suddenly heard Wanyan Shan shout loudly: "Wait a minute!" He took out the arrow Jia Cong gave him from his quiver and handed it to Yu Hong: "Do you know how to read?"

Yu Hong rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! Why are you giving me this thing?"

"You ask me if you know how to read? I'm looking for Brother Jia." Wan Yanshan said.

"Nonsense! What a fake brother, the real brother." Yu Hong took the arrow and looked at it. The arrow was triangular, and the word "Jia" was clearly engraved on the end of the arrow shaft. It was the arrow that Jia Cong was accustomed to. .

"You...where did you get it?" Yu Hong asked hurriedly.

Seeing his expression, Wan Yanshan knew it was useful. She fiddled with the braid around her neck and hummed, "Of course Brother Jia gave it to me. He said who dared to bully me, so he brought this out. Do you know Jia Zilong?"

Yu Hong's throat twitched, he swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly smiled and said: "The general is too blind to recognize Mount Tai, and he is often rude. Don't blame me, girl. Please wait a moment, girl, and I will send someone to report this to Mr. Jia." After saying this. With a wave of his hand, there were already soldiers flying to report.

Wanyanshan asked suspiciously: "Who is Mr. Jia?"

Yu Hong smiled and said: "Of course it's Jia Shoubei."

Wan Yanshan shook her head and said, "No, you got the wrong person. My eldest brother's name is Jia Zilong, isn't the new guard's name Jia Cong?"

Yu Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Girl, Jia Zilong is Mr. Jia."

ah? Wanyan Shanxing's eyes widened. Brother Jia is so young, but he is actually a guard master?
