The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 157: A White-Haired Elder Holds a Sabre

"Second Master, Second Master!"

Sun Shaozong was exercising his muscles in the yard that morning when he saw Zhao Zhongji coming in a hurry. He shouted in a panic, "Here comes Second Master Bao from the Rongguo Mansion!"

He then went up and lowered his voice and said, "The Second Master Bao is covered in blood. I didn't dare to ask him."

Hearing this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly inserted the gold filigree ring knife back into the weapon rack and took a few steps to the front hall.

Indeed.

Jia Baoyu was standing in the center, his hands and body were covered in blood stains, and his happy baby face was even calmer.

"You..."

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but blurt out, "Did you kill Lai Da yourself?!"

If it were true, Sun Shaozong would be impressed with him.

Jia Baoyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"What about the blood?"

Hearing Sun Shaozong mention the blood, Jia Baoyu's eyes became a little confused, but he soon regained his clarity and said with a deep salute, "This is why I came to see you. In fact, just now..."

More than half an hour ago, Jia Baoyu walked out of the gate step by step. He saw two carriages in front of him but saw no sign of the scorching. His heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

The dying old man was indeed unreliable!

At this moment, a shivering figure suddenly appeared behind the carriage that Lai Da was riding. He grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "Donkey, why are you walking so slowly? Your Grandpa Jiao's legs are almost unbearable!"

Seeing that he was hiding behind the car, Lai Da unconsciously glanced at Jia Baoyu. At first, he was suspicious, but then he was relieved. What tricks could this half-aged boy and an 80-year-old man do?

So he asked rudely, "Jiao Da, what are you doing here?"

"What? You want me to take you back to live in the Main Mansion?"

Jiao Da listened slowly, but slowly shook his head and said, "I will only go back to the Rongguo Mansion. I will not go to your house."

This stupid old bastard!

Seeing that he could not even hear his words clearly, Lai Da was even more disdainful. He went forward and said loudly, "Nobody wants to take you home! I..."

Before Lai Da could finish shouting, his charred body suddenly leaned forward and crashed into Lai Da's arms!

Lai Da's expression froze in an instant, he then grabbed his big wrist and said aloud, "You... You..."

When Jiao Da saw that he could still struggle, he tried his best to move forward, and the two fell to the ground.

"What are you doing?!"

A few servants of the Rongguo Mansion then reflected that they had hurriedly come forward, helping and tearing.

"How dare you touch me!"

Jiao Da raised his head and shouted. His voice was dull and short of breath. It was reasonable to say that he had no deterrent at all, but those slaves were as stiff as if they had been immobilized.

They don't know who shouted, "Kill... Killing!"

The slaves ran away.

But Jiao Da raised his head and revealed a cold, shining dagger. The tip of the dagger was obliquely inserted into Lai Da's heart!

"Help... Help me... Help me!"

At this time, however, Lai Da even raised his head and moaned. It turned out that Jiao Da was old and weak after all, so although he tried twice, he still failed to kill him!

"Damn, this body bone is really useless."

Jiao Da cursed, steadied the dagger with his hand, raised his head high, and hit the target again!

Poof~

The blood gushed out of his face.

However, Lai Da was still alive. He stretched his neck like a chicken and shouted with all his strength, "Loyal..."

Bang!

Then another attack hit him!

The air in Lai Da's voice suddenly dissipated, and when it came to his mouth, it turned into several intermittent whispers, "The shop… Shares..."

Bang!

The third attack took away all the vitality of Lai Da.

Jiao Da, however, was still worried. He stabbed him again. Seeing that Lai Da didn’t respond anymore, he raised his bruised forehead, out of breath. He laughed and said, "My dear grandson, even your father wasn't weaned when I killed!"

With that, he struggled to get up.

Unexpectedly, when he got up, he found that Lai Da's hand was still firmly on his wrist, and he could not get away after several attempts.

Finally, he had to stop and breathe heavily and said to Jia Baoyu, "Come and help me, boy."

When Jia Baoyu saw his old face like a terraced field, it was still dripping with dirty blood. Some of them even flowed into his mouth, but he smiled happily, like a devil crawling out of hell!

Let alone coming forward to help for a while, he was too scared and even fell back two steps.

Jiao Da's eyes flashed a little loneliness and disappointment, and he silently lowered his head to fight with that hand again.

At this time, more than twenty people were standing at the gate of the grange, but they were strangely quiet.

Everyone was in a state of panic. Looking at the old man with a white head that was riding on the body of Lai Da, trying to get up. Even the trusted people Lai Da brought, couldn't think of stopping him.

A moment later. Jia Baoyu suddenly took a half step forward, then another half step. Finally, he simply strode to the front of Jiao Da, with red eyes, biting his teeth, and stretched out his hand to break the palm of Lai Da.

"Ha... Hahaha..."

Jiao Da shook his wrist and suddenly burst out laughing. Seeing Baoyu trying to help him up, he pointed to the head of the dagger and said, "That's something that the Grandmaster had rewarded me with. Boy, put it away for me first."

Baoyu looked at the dagger that was wedged deeply into Lai Da's heart. His legs were shaking, but he still slowly bent down, shook his hands, and yanked out the dagger.

He recalled until this part.

Baoyu took out a dagger from his sleeve, stroked it absentmindedly, and said, "At that moment, I regret it."

.

"Regret?"

Sun Shaozong said strangely, "Regret killing Lai Da?"

No!

Jia Baoyu suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth, saying, "I regret that I didn't kill him! The legacy left by my ancestors should have been guarded by the children and grandchildren!"

He and Sun Shaozong looked at each other for a while, then suddenly Sun Shaozong smiled and tapped Baoyu’s hand on his shoulder, saying, "It's not too late for you to understand now!"

After a pause, he said, "Since Lai Da is dead, why did you come to me?"

"Grandpa Jiao refused to hide."

Jia Baoyu then remembered what was going on and hurriedly said, "Please try to find a way, and don't implicate Grandpa Jiao anymore!"

It was for this.

Sun Shaozong turned his eyes and immediately asked, "How old is Grandpa Jiao?"

Baoyu said with uncertainty, "He seems... He seems eighty-six years old."

"That's easy!"

Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, anyone over 80 can be exempted according to the circumstances, except for those who seek to disobey."
