Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 198: Jia Mansion Murder

Li Chou and his men broke in.

The maids and servants in the Jia Mansion were all terrified.

Someone is hiding.

Some people ran to report to Lady Jia and others.

Li Chou ignored all this and walked straight in.

As I walked through the front yard, I saw a group of people coming towards me.

The leader was a man who looked like a butler, named Lai Da, who was the butler of Rong Mansion.

Of course, Li Chou didn't know him.

Lai Da stepped forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"My fellow soldiers, this is the Jia family, you are not allowed to trespass!"

Li Chou said expressionlessly:

"We are following the general's orders to take Jia Huan away!"

When Lai Da heard that it was Fang Yong's order, his expression changed slightly, his tone softened, and he forced a smile on his face:

"Since it is the general's order, I will naturally obey it. Please wait here for a moment. I will report to the old lady and give you a reply later."

Li Chou didn't even look at Lai Da, and said coldly:
"Get out of the way! Anyone who dares to obstruct the general's orders will be killed!"

Lai Da heard this and glanced at Li Chou, but didn't care.

Long-term comfort made him unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

In Lai Da's eyes, Li Chou in front of him was just a child, and the so-called threat was ridiculous.

Does he really dare to kill me in public?

Lai Da completely ignored Li Chou's warning and said:

"My fellow soldiers, this is the Jia family. Even a general cannot just come here and bring people with him, right? I think we should report this to the old lady. The old lady is..."

Before Lai finished talking, he felt a sudden chill in his chest.

When he looked down, he saw that Li Chou had already stabbed his heart with a knife.

"you you!"

Lai Da looked at Li Chou in disbelief and wanted to say something, but his heart was pierced and all his strength quickly drained away. Breathing became difficult and he gradually lost consciousness.

With a thud, Lai Da fell to the ground.

"Murder! Grandpa Lai was killed!"

"Butler Lai is dead!"

The servants fled in all directions.

Li Chou and his men strode in.

This courtyard is the temporary residence that Fang Yong gave to the Jia family. It is not as big as the Jia Mansion, and the roads between the courtyards are not complicated.

Li Chou and others took Jia Rui into custody and through questioning, they soon found out the location where Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao were imprisoned.

He rushed straight ahead and basically no one dared to stop him.

Occasionally, there were a few brave people who dared to step forward to intercept them, but Li Chou and others would just use their knives to send them to see Lai Da.

Soon, Li Chou and others arrived at the Buddhist temple where Jia Huan and his mother were imprisoned.

It is called a Buddhist hall, but in fact it is just a side room. Mrs. Wang was a Buddhist, so she placed several Buddha statues here for prayer and worship.

There were several strong old women guarding outside the room. When they saw Li Chou and his men coming, they immediately stepped forward to stop Li Chou and his men.

With a swish of the knife, a woman's head flew into the sky.

The other women were stunned. The Huaiyin soldier next to Li Chou swung his sword again without hesitation, and two more people were hacked to death.

Only one old woman was left, and she escaped because she was standing at the back among the four.

She was so frightened that she defecated and pissed herself, and she rolled and crawled on the ground as she tried to escape.

Seeing that she was smelly, Li Chou did not chase after her.

Jia Huan in the room heard the noise outside and said excitedly:
"Are you my brother-in-law's men? Did my brother-in-law ask you to save me?"

Li Chou hummed and said nothing more.

There is a lock on the door, and it is a good lock.

Li Chou chopped at the lock twice but failed to break it.

Fortunately, the door was not a good one. Several Huaiyin soldiers kicked together and broke it with a click.

Seeing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but run out.

Then he tripped over something round and with a thud, Jia Huan fell to the ground.

Aunt Zhao at the back carefully stuck her head out to check.

During the period of imprisonment, Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao explained the matter of Fang Yong.

When a bandit becomes big enough, he is no longer a bandit!
Aunt Zhao only had a vague understanding of this. She looked at the Huaiyin army outside and was still a little scared due to her inherent thinking.

But in the end she took the first step.

Then she felt herself kicking something both soft and hard.

"This is... Oh my God!!!" Aunt Zhao looked down and saw it was a head.

She was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

In front, Jia Huan, who had just fallen, unexpectedly did not feel any pain. He felt as if he had fallen on someone and made the other person a scapegoat.

Jia Huan got up and was about to thank him.

But he found that what he fell was a headless corpse.

The blood vessels on the corpse's neck were still gushing out blood due to his squeezing.

"vomit!"

Jia Huan vomited it out directly.

At Jia Huan's age, it was natural that he would be affected when he suddenly saw such a bloody scene.

After a while, Jia Huan felt better.

Li Chou couldn't help but look at Jia Huan again.

This kid adapts to this kind of bloody scene quite quickly and is suitable for joining the army.

"Okay, if you're alright, follow me to see the general."

Li Qiu said.

Jia Huan had no objection.

At this time, Li Chou looked at the fainted Aunt Zhao and frowned.

"What should she do?"

Jia Huan said: "Go find Caixia and Caiyun and ask them to help take care of mother."

Li Chou nodded and said:

"Okay, lead the way."

At that time, in Grandmother Jia's room.

Nanny Lai was crying and complaining to Lady Jia, accusing the Huaiyin army of murder and atrocities.

After hearing that Lai Da died for his loyalty to the Jia family, Jia's mother felt a surge of anger in her heart.

"This Huaiyin thief is too unreasonable. A mere guard dares to break into my Jia Mansion and kill people. Does he really think that there is no one in my Jia family? This time, I must go to the palace to ask..."

Grandmother Jia's words came to an abrupt halt.

She just realized that the current emperor seemed to have been captured by the Huaiyin bandits.

This……

Grandmother Jia was thinking about the connections she could mobilize now.

After much thought, it seemed that only her eldest son, whom she had always disliked, could have a say with the Huaiyin thieves.

So he had no choice but to order someone to call Jia She.

But I guess even if Jia She was called, it would not be of much use.

After all, Jia She has always been on the side of the Huaiyin thieves.

Grandmother Jia could only turn around and comfort Nanny Lai.

I’m afraid that this time, Lai Da died in vain.

I didn't expect that the Huaiyin thief would value Jia Huan so much.

There is no other way. We can only endure it and let them take that little beast Jia Huan away.

On the other side, Jia Huan took Li Chou back to his own courtyard.

However, I didn't see any colorful clouds.

When asked about the little maidservant next to her, she replied, "Sister Caiyun and Sister Caixia went to treat Master Bao's illness."

Jia Huan's eyebrows jumped.

"Cure diseases. What diseases can they cure?"

The little maid said vaguely:
"I don't know either. I heard it's a heart disease. Let them put on Miss Xiangyun's clothes and help Master Bao untie his knot. Only in this way can the heart disease be cured..."

"What did you say!"

Li Chou on the side suddenly drew out his knife.

Jia Huan and the little maid were both startled.

Li Chou's aura suddenly changed. He stared at the two men fiercely and asked:
"Tell me what happened from the beginning!"

Jia Huan didn't know why Li Chou suddenly became furious, but looking at Li Chou's ferocious expression, he did not dare to hide anything and told him the whole story of Baoyu from beginning to end.

Li Chou heard this and said angrily:

"You bastard, how dare you! Follow me!"

After saying this, he led the rest of the Huaiyin army directly to Lady Jia's main courtyard.

Jia Huan didn't know what was going on at this time. Seeing Li Chou moving forward without stopping, he could only chase after him.
