Chapter 259: Bandits
Sun family in the east of the city, Zhao Su carriage to the place, and in the car look outside, this is an ordinary small rich family residence, the door is still quite clean, now a large balsam camphor tree is branching and leafy, covering half of the door.
Flowers want to ask whether to go to knock, Zhao Su but stopped her said: “We first go to Pang Shuyun’s house to see.”
Fang Qingxue gave her the dossier written very clearly, Pang Shuyun’s husband surnamed Ma, called Ma Weiqing, living in the west of the city, the family operates two valves of incense and oil store, Ma Weiqing in the workshop school teaching, one side of the preparation for the next countryside examination. Father, known as the horse three masters, mother surnamed Xu, gave birth to two sons, Ma Weiqing for the long, younger brother married last year, just got the eldest son soon.
Ma Weiqing a scholar, but also to prepare for the examination, the room is all Pang Shuyun in charge. For the conflict between his wife and mother, he always used the reason that it was an internal matter to avoid.
To the outside of the Ma residence, Zhao Su sent Hua Huanyong down: “Go and ask the people around, the Ma family’s usual behavior.”
Hua Huirong went down, and Tong Su followed. After a while, he brought back a large handful of skewers, gave half to Zhao Su, and then each person shared a little. Zhao Su divided another half and left it for Hua Wanyong, before starting to eat. When they reached the eighth skewer, Hua Wanyong came back. She opened her mouth and said: “I asked several families in the neighborhood and found out something.
“This Ma three and Xu’s son preference is true, Pang Shuyun four years ago married to the Ma family, inside and outside of the manipulation, the Ma family to take care of the red hot, and out of the dowry silver in the hutongs rented a courtyard to the Ma Weijing open private school to collect students, pregnant Xu’s careful in every way, so that Pang Shuyun well nourished the fetus, but three years ago, the twin daughters were born out of the heart of the long grandchildren of the Xu’s attitude has changed. The first time I saw her was when she was a young girl, and she was a young woman.
“Pang Shuyun not yet out of the month Xu let her weaned, to find another nurse to milk the child, in order to urge her to get pregnant again as soon as possible. Pang Shuyun preferred to breastfeed herself, this Xu did not give the child a full moon ceremony, but also in the name of unfiliality to pressure her.
“Ma Weiqing’s younger brother not long ago gave birth to the eldest grandson, recently this is more powerful, not only Xu’s look down on the two granddaughters, even the second daughter-in-law also for the birth of Ma’s family grandson proudly.
“A short time ago, three children play, that just stood firm child fell, the second family blamed it on the two sisters pushed, and could not help but hit them. Pang Shuyun was too angry to argue with them, and as a result, she was miscarried, which is well known in the neighborhood.”
The small family of small households, often move around a lot, who has a bit of what the wind blowing, not half a day’s work will be able to spread throughout the hutong.
Zhao Su asked: “How is Pang Shuyun?”
“She’s nursing. Coincidentally, I heard from the neighbors that Sun Xiulan is visiting her daughter at the Ma family.”
“What’s the attitude of the Ma family?”
“The Ma family has no merit, Ma San is just a sour scholar, Sun Xiulan is at least the leader of the Flower Moon Order, the Ma family is not completely indifferent. But I heard that Sun Xiulan front foot to the house, back foot Xu went out, clearly to avoid not to entertain it.”
Zhao Su thought about it, into the carriage: “We go back to the theater, you go to send a letter to the Pang family, let Sun Xiulan to the theater to see it.”
“Good le!” Flowers want to Rong and said: “But also heard a message.”
“What news?”
……
In the theater, the emperor has listened to three plays, tea also drank a few, is drowsy, ready to take a nap, the bottom of a violent burst of gongs and drums, and he was shocked spirit.
He turned his head: “Still not back?”
Han Jun jaw: “I think it must not be so fast.”
The emperor sat down again, then got up to purify his hands.
Just out of the threshold, a silhouette steeply rushed over, the emperor quickly dodged, Han Jun also quickly blocked in front, or not in time, the man raised his feet hit Han Jun’s legs, snapped and fell to the ground!
Han Jun see the emperor has returned to the box, will subconsciously go to help this person, unexpectedly just stretched out his hand, this person but steeply a twist of the head, eyes burst out within the scorching murderous gas, and then a carp up, raised his hand longsword will be stabbed at him!
As an imperial guard, and also the head of the commanding guards, the most training he had received over the years was to deal with assassinations.
But Han Jun’s eyes flinched, his body steeply a cold air rose up, a wrong eye, he reached out and raised his leg, the man’s hand sword flew to Han Jun’s hand, but he swept out of the leg actually fell empty – this person actually in his fast as lightning leg to avoid away!
But Han Jun did not hesitate, almost at the same time in the air, he flexed his knee to give a blow, finally heard the man grunted, body soft, slowed down half a step, in the Han Jun’s elbow bent into a bow, successfully restrained and can not move!
The emperor saw here, immediately to the downstairs look, only to see just calm theater, this time has been a riot! Full of guests screamed and scattered running away, and near the stairs, there is a group of colorful black clothed knife-wielding killers swarmed up!
“Quickly go and block the windows on all sides! Don’t let him escape!”
In just this amount of time, there were already people rushing up the stairs!
The Emperor walked back to the door, and with a wink to Han Jun, he waited for him to escort the men in, then closed the door.
“Search for him one by one! We must see where he escaped to! Whoever dares to harbor him will be taught to leave his arms and legs here today!”
Along with this deafening clamor, the doors of a row of ten or so compartments were all kicked open, and those who didn’t have time to escape had some screaming, some begging for mercy, and some women even cried!
To the emperor of this room, the door opened, sat on the big sword of the big man across the door, saw still back to the door sitting peacefully drinking tea emperor, he went over to slap the table: “to the old man up!”
The emperor slightly side head, did not answer, the man will lift his foot to kick the table, this kick is aggressive, the man a leg and enough to have two people so thick, let a person look at the table for this table to worry about, but the emperor just elbow to the desktop to a, that leg kicked over, the table was stable!
The emperor looked at a few drops of tea splashed out, raised his eyes and said, “Spill my tea, it’s not that good.”
The man fixed a certain, his eyes on him glanced over a glance, the momentum can not help but shorten some, but obviously he does not want to lose face in front of those behind the minions, knife out, still rough voice: “I’m tracking down the bandits, what do you set up here? If I’m wrong, I’ll dismantle you directly!”
“Bandits?” The emperor picked up the cup of tea and stood up with narrowed eyes, “What bandits?”
“Playing dumb?” The man heatedly sneered, “Boss Du’s dart boat moored at the pier was robbed, with important objects of the imperial family lost inside, the matter spread all over Tongzhou, you dare to say you don’t know? I see that you are afraid of bandit accomplices, and with the old man to the dock to explain some say!”
After saying that, he raised his sword to kill over.
I can’t believe I wrote a chapter!
