This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 171
"Woo——"

The night wind was howling, making the lanterns at the door sway and clang.

The night sky was covered with dark clouds.

I don't know when the autumn rain started to fall.

From small to big.

The path leading deeper into the temple soon became wet and extremely slippery.

The temperature dropped suddenly and a chill set in.

The maids and servants standing in the corridor were all shivering with cold, but they dared not say a word or leave.

In the main hall, the sound of chanting began to tremble.

"My dear gentlemen, it is late autumn and it is raining. It is very cold. Why don't we call it quits tonight and continue tomorrow?"

The old nun who was accompanying them felt cold and tired, and couldn't help but speak up to persuade them.

The heads of the four major families looked at each other and said nothing.

At this time, Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion immediately said with a serious face: "Since we have agreed to chant scriptures and pray for blessings all night, we cannot give up halfway. If we can't even hold on for one night, and the news gets out, how will our four major families save their reputation? If the palace knows about it, how will they view us?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone said, "Master Zheng is right. We must not give up halfway."

The old nun had no choice but to stop talking.

The maids and nannies in the corridor outside had a hard time. They huddled together in the cold and no one dared to go in to talk.

The rain gradually grew heavier, splashing onto the corridor.

The originally dry ground was soon wetted by the rain and became dripping wet.

The huge lantern above was swaying, as if mocking something.

"laugh--"

A stream of turbid rain suddenly shot out on the path in the garden, and it turned out that a sturdy bald nun fell in the rain.

The nun's head was shiny and wet from the rain.

She got up from the ground, ran quickly up the corridor, and called the shivering maids to go to the back room to avoid the cold.

But no one dared to leave without the order of the master in the palace.

“Clang…Clang…”

The rain continued all night long, and the lantern hanging in the corridor swayed in the cold wind all night long.

The next day, the rain stopped for a while.

Several maids and nannies kept covering their mouths and sneezing, obviously they had caught a cold last night.

The people in the hall were not much better.

A certain room.

Luo Zijun was lying on the ground, his eyes open, his eyes were empty, and he looked like he had lost all hope in life. He began to doubt why he practiced so hard every day.

From the first level of warrior to the fifth level of warrior.

He worked hard every day and night to practice and advance, and made his body strong.

Thinking of his tragic and humiliating fate, he couldn't help but shed sad tears from the corners of his eyes.

Outside the window, the night fades away.

When Zhiyuan woke up, she felt a slight headache. After lying down for a while, she got up from the bed and went outside.

At this time, Luo Zijun had already put on his clothes and was sitting at the table reading a book.

However, his eyes were dazed and he didn't even turn the page on the book in his hand.

Zhi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then walked over and said, "Master, did you really not sleep all night? You... Eh? Master, why is your mouth broken? Your neck..."

"A bug bite."

Luo Zijun said in a calm tone.

Zhiyuan asked with concern: "Sir, you look so bad, why don't you sleep?"

Luo Zijun lowered his head, staring at the book in his hands with dull eyes, and did not answer.

go to bed?

Oh, I really want to laugh.

Crying and laughing.

"Come on, go home."

He didn't say anything more, stood up and prepared to go home, but just as he took a step, his legs suddenly went weak and he collapsed.

Zhiyuan hurriedly supported him and said, "Sir, are your legs numb? Sit for a while before walking."

"Hold me, and go now!"

Luo Zijun leaned on her with a firm attitude.

His body was covered with scars, his body was empty, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was extremely weak. If he didn't leave now, when would he leave?

How would I explain it if someone saw me?

Zhiyuan agreed and quickly helped him out the door.

At this time, it was not yet fully light.

It just so happened that someone from the palace came and was talking in the hall.

People from the four major families gathered there.

Luo Zijun asked Zhiyuan to take a detour, go out from the side door on the right, walk out of the street surrounding the palace, hire a carriage, and return home quickly.

Return to Bai Mansion.

Xiaohuan hasn't come back yet, she should still be in Suguo Mansion.

Luo Zijun said something to Zhiyuan and returned to his room. As soon as he lay down on the bed, sleepiness came over him like a tide and he quickly closed his eyes.

Then came the nightmares.

When Luo Zijun woke up from his dream, it was already evening.

He actually slept for a whole day!
My head was covered in sweat, my heart was pounding, and the horrible scenes in my dream emerged clearly.

Then, the scenes from last night reappeared one by one.

After panting for a long time, he wiped the sweat from his face and sat up from the bed.

I feel a little better now.

However, I still felt very weak, and my kidneys on both sides were twitching and aching.

"hiss……"

I swallowed and my tongue hurt, with several wounds on it.

Humph, but the other party is not having an easy time either.

His teeth still left several deep marks on the other party.

Besides in the mouth, there are other places. Thinking back to last night, it seems like a nightmare.

Guanyin Temple...Inner City...

What an irony.

However, the female flower thief did not use force last night. Instead, she used the poison she was best at, and released smoke while he was sleeping.

The kite was obviously also hit.

Who could have thought that in the inner city, outside the palace, inside the Guanyin Temple, with so many patrolling soldiers outside, people from the four major families in the temple, and during a period of national mourning, such an unforgivable thing could happen?

Where is the king's law?
What about heaven?
Damn thief, why do you always catch him?
He had obviously been very careful,
"Master, are you awake?"

At this time, Xiaohuan suddenly appeared at the door, looked at him with concern and said, "Master, you have slept for a whole day. Are you hungry? I will go and heat up some food for you."

"I'm hungry, go!"

Luo Zijun got up immediately, his stomach was growling with hunger.

As soon as I got out of bed, my legs went weak again.

But fortunately, walking was not a problem. I went out to wash my face, brush my teeth, and sat in the yard in a daze.

At this time, Zhi Yuan came back from outside. When she saw him get up, she hurriedly said, "Young Master, the Third Miss came to see you. She came here after she came back this morning. When she heard that you were sleeping, she left. She just sent someone to ask again."

Luo Zijun asked: "Do you know what it is?"

Zhi Yuan said, "I don't know either, but the young ladies from the Jia family also came to the mansion this morning."

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: Is it still about Jia Yingchun?

Zhiyuan asked, "Sir, have you recovered? Should I go and inform Miss Three that you are awake?"

Luo Zijun thought for a moment and said, "Zhiyuan, tell her that I caught a cold last night and I'm afraid she might get sick. I want to rest at home for a few days and not see any visitors for the time being. If she has any urgent matters, she can tell you directly and you can tell me when you come back."

"Oh."

Zhiyuan agreed and went out again.

Xiaohuan quickly heated up the food.

Luo Zijun's stomach was already growling with hunger. When he smelled the food, he became even hungrier and immediately began to eat voraciously.

After Xiao Huan saw Zhi Yuan leave, she whispered, "Master, you've been bitten everywhere, including your mouth, neck, ears, and chest. Was it because of you and Sister Zhi Yuan last night..."

"A bug bite."

Luo Zijun interrupted her and continued to eat his meal voraciously.

Xiao Huan laughed and said, "That bug is really amazing. It even has red and fragrant rouge on its mouth."

"rouge?"

Luo Zijun's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Where is it?"

Xiao Huan pointed at his ears, neck, and chest, and said with a smile, "They are all there, but I have already wiped them off for you when you were asleep."

Luo Zijun: “…”

"Xiao Huan, do you still remember what it tastes like?"

Xiao Huan thought for a moment and said, "It seems to have a faint scent of gardenia."

"Gardenia scent?"

Luo Zijun's eyes fixed and he immediately remembered it in his mind.

“Any other flavors?”

he asked quickly.

Xiao Huan said: "It seems so, but I can't tell the difference."

Then he added, "But sir, there must be some on other parts of your body, and I haven't wiped it for you yet."

When Luo Zijun heard this, he immediately got up and went into the house.

"Xiao Huan! Come in!"

Xiaohuan immediately went into the house and closed the door.

At this time, Luo Zijun had already taken off all his clothes.

He lowered his head and looked from top to bottom, and sure enough, he found a few faint traces of rouge.

One of them was actually in a critical place.

"Is there one behind?"

he asked quickly.

Xiaohuan opened her eyes wide and nodded.

Luo Zijun immediately tore off a piece of paper, carefully scraped off the front part, and handed it to her, saying, "Xiaohuan, gently scrape it off with your fingernails and put it on the paper."

"Oh."

Xiaohuan agreed, took the paper and stretched out her finger.

Luo Zijun jumped suddenly, turned around and asked, "What are you doing scratching me there, girl?"

Xiao Huan smiled and said, "Sir, that's the most obvious."

Luo Zijun: “…”

After all were collected, a thin layer of red rouge was applied to the paper.

Great, there is evidence!
When he has rested well tomorrow, he will take it out and ask the store, maybe he can find out the source.

The other party's identity is obviously not simple, it is impossible for him to use ordinary rouge.

The better the rouge, the easier it is to check.

However, even if we knew what rouge it was, it would probably be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

But it's better to have hope than no hope.

If he is lucky and really finds out the other party's identity, then he can take revenge!

At this time, the kite came back.

Luo Zijun quickly put on her clothes, put away her rouge, and left the room.

Zhiyuan replied: "Miss San said that there is nothing important, she just wants to show her concern for you. She also said that the girls in the Jia Mansion are also very concerned about you and seem to want to tell you something. Miss San said that you should have a good rest at home and she will not let anyone disturb you anymore."

Luo Zijun nodded and looked up at the sky.

The sky is dark and it feels like it's going to rain again.

Last night's autumn rain fell all night long, soaking the house inside and outside. He listened to it all night long, and it left him with a shadow.

After dark, he returned to his room to practice.

at the same time.

Jia She went out under the cover of night and the carriage stopped in front of the Sun family's door.

He had five thousand taels of silver in his arms.
