Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 88 [088] Sister Feng's tricks are cruel, Jia Rui suffers from it
Time is like an arrow, and the shadow of the sun is slanting to the west.

As dusk fell, Jia Chen and Jia Rong went in ambush next to the room behind Wang Xifeng's residence, waiting for Jia Rui to throw himself into the trap.

It was winter now, and in order to keep out the cold, Jia Chen wore the winter clothes Qingwen sewed for him and a mink velvet cloak to resist the biting cold north wind.

In winter, it gets dark early.

When the sound of the evening drum came, the surroundings were already pitch black.

Tonight the stars are lonely and the moon is dim.

Jia Rong whispered:
"Second Aunt Lian originally wanted me and Jia Qiang to play tricks on Jia Rui, but I suggested to Auntie that I invite Uncle Chen to join us. Uncle Chen is very skilled in martial arts, so it's easy to deal with Jia Rui."

In the original book, it is indeed Jia Rong and Jia Qiang who played tricks on Jia Rui, causing Jia Rui to catch cold and die young.

Jia Chen smiled lightly and said:

"Rong'er's reputation is too high. Since you trust me so much, then I will help you and Lian's second sister-in-law."

Jia Rong smiled and said:

"In order to teach Jia Rui a lesson, Second Aunt Lian set up a clever plan, besides asking the two of us to help catch the rape, she also sent a servant with a bucket of feces to hide on the wall next to a corner in the corridor.

When Jia Rui comes, we will trick him into this corner, and then that boy will pour a bucket of shit on his head. "

"This plan is brilliant!" Although Jia Chen praised him, he secretly scolded Wang Xifeng for being sinister and vicious. In such a cold winter night, if he poured feces and urine on Jia Rui's body, the wind would definitely catch him cold.

In this era of backward medical treatment, once infected with wind and cold, it is life-threatening.

In the original book, Jia Rui was seriously ill because of this, and died.

It's no wonder that Wang Xifeng ended up in the miserable end of "crying to Jinling even more sadly" in the original work.People are doing it, and the sky is watching. She killed Jia Rui, which is also one of the reasons for her retribution.

Jia Rong said with a sinister smile:
"I went into the house and pretended to be Lian's second aunt, and teased Jia Rui for a while. When he entered the room, he would probably mistake me for Lian's second aunt. When that time came, Uncle Chen would rush into the room, and the two of us restrained him together. !"

Jia Chen pretended to agree:

"Good idea, just do as you say!"

The plan was made, and Jia Rong first slipped into the small broken house and hid.

Hearing the whistling wind, after less than half a stick of incense passed, I saw a figure approaching stealthily, stooping furtively, leaning against the wall, and cautiously approached the small broken house.

Jia Chen hid in the shadows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and by the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see that this person was Jia Rui.

After Jia Ruidong looked around for a while, he pushed open the door treacherously, and got into the small broken room.

"My good sister-in-law, you make me think so hard!"

As he said that, Jia Rui rushed forward and hugged Jia Rong like a hungry tiger.

The room was dark, with only a little yellow moonlight seeping in through the windows.

Jia Rui couldn't see who he was holding in his arms at all, he just kept groping, and pushed Jia Rong down on the bed.

He also yelled "good sister-in-law" in his mouth.

Through the door and window, Jia Chen faintly heard Jia Rui's shameless calling.

This Jia Rui is really a cunt, full of lust.

Jia Chen sneered in his heart, pushed open the door, and said coldly:

"Who is yelling here?"

Jia Rui shivered in fright, jumped up suddenly, turned his head hastily, and met Jia Chen's pair of heroic eyes.

Seeing Jia Rui's trembling and panicked embarrassment, Jia Rong gloated at his misfortune and laughed so hard.

Jia Rui was dumbfounded for a moment, and realized that the person he hugged just now was not Wang Xifeng at all, but Jia Rong.

Jia Chen lit the red lantern in his hand.

The dark dilapidated house was illuminated by red candles.

"You, why did you come here?" Jia Rui exclaimed in shock, staggered back two steps, and slumped on the bed.

"Master Rui, don't be afraid, I won't eat you." Jia Rong walked up to Jia Rui with a smile, grabbed his collar, and suddenly waved his hand and slapped him across the face.

"You unlucky seed, how dare you take advantage of Second Aunt Lian's idea? I'll beat you to death!"

Jia Rong hit more and more vigorously, she simply opened her bow left and right, and slapped him wildly with all her strength.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Jia Rui was beaten until his mouth and nose were bleeding, his cheeks were red and swollen, and he begged for mercy in a crying voice:
"Brother Rong, please stop beating me, I'm going to die of pain!"

"You deserve to die, you little dog!" Jia Rong cursed and beat her harder.

Gradually, he was finally tired, and he fell to the ground out of breath, laughing heartily.

He had been slapped countless times by his father Jia Zhen before, but this time he finally found someone to vent his anger on.

Jia Rong sneered and said:
"Tomorrow, I will tell the old lady about your scandal, and ask her to clean you up!"

"Pfft!"

Jia Rui was so frightened that all his souls trembled, his knees softened, and he knelt down, pulled Jia Rong by the corner of his clothes, and cried loudly:
"Brother Rong, Uncle Rong, please, please let me go this time!"

"Shut up your stinky mouth! Go away! Say one more word, and I'll kill you right now!"

Jia Rong snorted coldly and kicked him to the ground.

Jia Rui was too frightened to make a sound, and shrank into a corner.

Seeing his cowardly behavior of beating and scolding, Jia Rong rolled her eyes, smiled and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone prepared in advance, put it in front of Jia Rui, and said with a sneer:
"You also know that this matter is embarrassing, and I don't want to embarrass you. If you don't want me to tell the old lady, you can write a deed of debt for me and Uncle Chen, and we will forgive you!"

Jia Rui asked submissively:
"This, how do you write this?"

Jia Rong said with a sinister smile:
"You just write two IOUs on the accounts of outsiders who lost their gambling money, and borrowed the first money!"

Jia Rui begged for mercy:
"My family is poor, where can I get money? Good nephew, please forgive me this time!"

Jia Rong snorted coldly and said:

"You must give me and Uncle Chen twenty-five taels of silver each, otherwise, we will send you to see the old lady!"

Jia Rui is Jia Dairu's only direct grandson, but Jia Dairu is just a mediocre scholar who doesn't have much money, and Jia Rui has even less money in his hands.

To Jia Rui, this fifty silver was considered a huge sum of money.

Facing the overbearing Jia Rong, Jia Rui hesitated for a moment, but reluctantly wrote two twenty-five taels of gambling debt deeds and handed them to Jia Chen and Jia Rong respectively.

"Brother Rong, can I go?" Jia Rui asked tremblingly, trembling.

Jia Rong looked at Jia Chen and said with a flattering smile:

"Uncle Chen, is twenty-five taels enough? Otherwise, I'll ask this fellow to write more?"

Jia Rong was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.

Jia Chen was not short of money, and he accepted the gambling debt contract just to make fun of it. He sneered and said:

"That's enough, we've been tossing around for most of the night tonight, let's hurry back and rest!"

"Okay." Jia Rong was still thinking about pouring excrement and urine on Jia Rui's head, and immediately grabbed Jia Rui's collar and strode out the door.

Jia Rui was so frightened that he trembled and asked in a trembling voice:
"Brother Rong, where are you taking me?"

Jia Rong sneered and said:
"I only fine you a little money, it's too cheap for you, and I have to fine you to stand in the corner overnight, if you dare to escape, I will tell the old lady!"

Jia Rui kept silent, too frightened to speak, and could only let Jia Rong drag him out.

Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and followed, wondering how to save Jia Rui?
