The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 382 The Scariest Truth ([-])

As soon as the old lady woke up, she struggled to get up.

Yuanyang and Hupo knew the old lady's temper, so they helped her up.While Baochai and Aunt Xue were weeping, they took out the quilt and pillow for the old lady to lean on.

"You bastards, how dare you hide this big thing from me. You can hide it for a while, but you can hide it for a lifetime? You know how to trick me all day long, and make me happy. Kneel down!"

Seeing that the old lady was furious, everyone knelt on the ground without daring to be negligent.

Jia Zhen was still crying, and the old lady softened her heart and told Jia Zhen to sit up.

The rest of the people, even Aunt Xue knelt on the ground, all sobbing.

Only Youshi and Wang Xifeng took care of Qin Keqing in the West Room, so they were saved from kneeling.

"Brother Pan, Brother Rong really asked Brother Huan to..."

The old lady really couldn't say those words.

"Back to the ancestors, yes, Brother Rong is dead."

Everyone had already believed Xue Pan's words at this time, and seeing Xue Pan confirming it again, they couldn't help feeling a little bit colder.

"The precious jade...?"

The old lady was naturally the most concerned about Baoyu.

"Baoyu is fine. It's just..."

"Why is Baoyu all right again? What is it? Don't hesitate, just tell me."

"Brother Huan killed Brother Rong, and asked Mingyan to kill Baoyu, and said, and said..."

"I told you not to hesitate, just say it!"

"Brother Huan also said that the fourth brother Min has now offended the emperor, lost his fame, and demoted his job to the people. People in the mansion don't want to see him, and he will be a useless person in the future. As long as Baoyu is killed, there will be nothing left in the mansion. Brother Huan is alone, and he will be the one to decide in the future. Ask Mingyan to follow him well and enjoy the glory and wealth."

"How about Mingyan?"

"Mingyan doesn't want to kill Baoyu, but wants to kill Brother Huan."

"Okay, well killed, this evil animal, I already knew he was a white-eyed wolf. It's just something that can't be fed."

The old lady said bitterly.

"However, the Tatars prevented Mingyan from killing Brother Huan. They then forced Baoyu to kill Mingyan."

When Xue Pan said this, everyone's spirits became extremely tense.

It is an unforgivable crime for Jia Huan to kill Jia Rong, but to force Mingyan to kill Baoyu, and to seek to occupy the heir of the mansion in the future, is simply a heinous crime.

Mingyan loyally protects the lord, what will Baoyu do?
Will he kill Mingyan?If Mingyan is not killed, will the Tatars let Baoyu go?

For this result, people are both looking forward to and fearing.For a while, the old lady didn't dare to question Xue Pan anymore.

"Brother Pan, let's talk about it, sooner or later we will talk about it."

It was Jia Lian who broke the silence.

"Later, Mingyan said, Second Master Bao, you can kill me. You have been kind to me all these years, so I will use this life to give you a way to survive. If you can return to the mansion in the future, you can send my body to me. Go back to the mansion, don't ask me to be a lonely ghost here. Tell Fourth Master Min to avenge me and Uncle Rong. In the end, Baoyu just, just, killed Mingyan. Then, Baoyu and Huan San My brother followed the Tartars."

"They're gone, so I'm going to see if Brother Rong and Mingyan are still alive. Looking left and right, they're hopeless. After a few hours, it's going to be dark, and I'm afraid they might encounter a wild beast or something that might damage them." dead bodies, I buried them both."

"Later, I pretended to be a beggar, and when I finally got to Bukui, I went to look for Second Brother Lian. It said that Second Brother Lian had just left and gave me a horse, so I went after Second Brother Lian and finally caught up with him at Mazhuang. gone."

It seemed that after exhausting all his strength, Xue Pan finally finished the story.

Everyone has a lot to say, but it's hard to speak.

Jia Huan was indeed hateful, but in the end Baoyu actually killed Mingyan. This result seemed to give them no reason to blame Jia Huan.

In their eyes, Baoyu's life is certainly more precious than tea, cigarettes and gold, but everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, so they can no longer defend Baoyu.

At this time, everyone had lost their minds, and only Jia Lian knew the news a long time ago. He thought about it countless times along the way, and he already knew it in his heart.

"This matter is very important. Fortunately, no outsiders know about it. If it gets out, not only will the family lose face, Baoyu and Huan's third brother will also be accused of surrendering to the enemy."

Jia Lian's words are not alarmist.

After losing the battle, Baoyu and others are not responsible.Even if captured, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

The problem is that Jia Huan killed Jia Rong and Baoyu killed Mingyan.

This is a very serious problem.

Even if the Tatars didn't kill Baoyu and Jia Huan, if they come back in the future, if the court finds out about this, they will probably die.

The problem is also the uncertainty of the matter.

If both Baoyu and Jiahuan were killed by the Tatars, the matter would be settled.

Now that the two are in the hands of the Tartars, what will happen in the future?
To be a slave to the Tatars, or to fight against the court with the Tatars in the future?

Such complex results are chilling to think about.

"Don't blame Brother Pan for this matter. You don't know about the Tatars, but I know. They are very strong. Baoyu and the others, not to mention the small number of them, even if they fight one out of four, they can't beat them. "

"Brother Pan didn't go out, it was just a wise move. If he went out, he would die in vain. There is no one to report to us."

It is true that Jia Lian defended Xue Pan at this time.

Others might think that Xue Pan is greedy for life and afraid of death.However, Jia Lian was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, so she understood Xue Pan's performance better.

The core idea of ​​Jia Min's military training in the Fubingtuan is not to be afraid of suffering, not to be afraid of death, and to follow orders in all actions.

This kind of thinking cannot be achieved by slogans alone, but needs to be developed bit by bit through a large number of behaviors and actions in daily life.

In Yedujuli, those seemingly unimaginable trainings such as folding quilts and walking in queues are all carried out around this goal.

Precisely on this point, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Rong, and Xue Pan did not pass the test.

This is also the real reason why Jia Min didn't let them go to the battlefield.

With Xue Pan's ability, it took a lot of courage to survive until the Tatars retreated and collect the corpses of Jia Rong and Mingyan.

It was a miracle that he was able to escape alone later on.

It would be unfair to Jia Lian to accuse Xue Pan again at this time.

"You all get up, Sister Feng, and send Brother Rong's daughter-in-law back. She is heavy, so don't hurt her fetus. Tell her to think about it. Although Brother Rong is gone, he finally left behind. .”

"You all keep your mouths shut, and this matter will be rotten in your stomach. No one is allowed to speak out, otherwise, if you let me know, don't blame me for turning my face and denying others."

The old lady's face showed a stern look, and Yuanyang and Hupo saw it, and their hearts trembled.

"It's all the fault of Wang Xin. If he hadn't hooked up with Baoyu to earn military merits, how could such a thing have happened? Now Baoyu has been captured by the Tatars, and his life and death are unknown. His family is fine, but it killed our family. dead, dead dead."

Mother Jia began to blame others.

When the old lady said this, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue couldn't hold back their faces.

After all, Wang Ziteng is also their elder brother, and Wang Xin is their nephew.With Baoyu in such a state, Mrs. Wang was more anxious than others. At this time, Jia Mu's words added fuel to the fire.

"Mother, brother Xin's life and death are unknown now, maybe he is not as good as Baoyu. At the beginning, brother also sent brother Xin and Baoyu to go to Brother Min's army regiment. It was only because the children were eager to do their best that they made such a mistake. "

When Mrs. Wang said these words, she seemed to be confronting the old lady.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Lian hurried out to make a rescue.

"Yes, old ancestor, brother Xin is still alive and dead. On the way back, I met Wang Zisheng third uncle. The second uncle also heard that Baoyu and the others had gone to North Wendula, so he sent him to find Baoyu and the others quickly. Come back and go to Bukui."

The old lady was actually speaking in a moment of anger, and now that Wang Xin's life and death are unknown, she also felt that what she said was a bit serious.Don't blame the Wang family anymore.

"You all talk about it, what should we do about this matter? Anyway, I want Baoyu to come back. As for that Brother Huan, hmph!"

How to deal with the aftermath of this matter, everyone is also pondering in their hearts.

Jia Rong's death is already a fait accompli, if you don't accept it, you have to accept it.

As for Mingyan, although he died because of Baoyu, his loyalty is commendable.However, in their eyes, he was just a slave after all.It is far less important than Baoyu.

Everyone had no doubts about getting Baoyu back.

As for Jia Huan, it was more difficult.

Killing Jia Rong is indeed an unforgivable crime, but he is Jia Zheng's son after all.

If you don't care about him, it doesn't seem good.Besides, if he voted for the Tatars in the future, he would be an enemy of the imperial court and would probably bring disaster to Jia's mansion.

It would be even more difficult to get him back.

How to settle the account of killing Jia Rong?What to do with him when he comes back?Will Jia Zhen let him go?
The more serious consequences are the relationship between Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion, what should we do in the future?
In the past, the two mansions were one, with the same spirit, but with this incident, will it still be like this in the future?
Such consequences are simply unimaginable.

Getting Baoyu back is just a result.

The question is, where is Baoyu?How can we get Baoyu back?Who will get it back?

Who here has this ability?

Jia Lian seems to be a personal choice, but the Tatars are currently strong.Although the government corps inflicted heavy losses on the Tatars in Erdaojiang, they did not harm the Tatars.The government corps is currently unable to launch a counterattack, and is just on the defensive.

In fact, everyone had a candidate in mind, and that was Jia Min.

However, now that Jia Min has demoted his job for the people, he has no power or influence, what else can he do?

No one has the answer because they don't know what the answer is.
