Chapter 166 To save face and suffer the consequences
The handsome man succeeded in one strike and without further ado, he abducted the courtesan Yao Mengmeng.
"stop!"
Cao Rui's voice sounded like thunder, causing the fair-faced young man to freeze. He turned around and saw that Cao Rui could actually move. He could not help but say in shock:
"Impossible, how could you not be affected by the magic weapon?"
His question was destined to remain unanswered.
Old Jia and Little Jia, the father and son ghosts, have no flesh and blood and are not affected by the dim light treasure at all. They flash and strike out with both palms, slapping the chest and back of the fair-faced young man hard.
Wherever the palm wind reached, a biting chill instantly spread.
The fair-faced man's face suddenly changed. He shook the treasure, and the faint light bloomed again, forcing Old Jia and Little Jia to retreat. He was about to jump out of the window to escape.
Cao Rui was waiting for this moment. He kicked his legs hard and jumped up as agile as a rabbit. The fat in his body burned rapidly and turned into explosive force to kick out.
Just one kick!
She simply kicked off the hand of the fair-faced man holding the treasure, and the treasure fell to the ground. The black gas also dissipated, and everyone felt the pressure suddenly reduced and regained their ability to move.
Chen Shuo was still frightened, so he picked up his musket and fired three bangs, breaking the remaining three limbs of the fair-faced man. After making sure that he could not resist, he had people come forward to tie him up and wait for him to be paraded through the streets on a wooden donkey.
The treasure was also picked up and handed over to Cao Rui.
It's a bell, but the small hammer in the middle has been removed, so no matter how you shake it, it can't make any sound.
Obviously, this is an incomplete magic weapon, but its power should not be underestimated.
Cao Rui asked loudly, "Face-faced young man, where did you get the bell?"
"..." The handsome man fell in a pool of blood, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he could not respond.
Cao Rui put away the bell and was about to check the quality of the courtesan when he was surprised to find that Young Master Zi had already held the beauty in his arms and called out anxiously:
"Mengmeng, Mengmeng, please wake up quickly. Don't scare me."
"Master Zi, I was almost scared to death just now. Fortunately, you arrived in time."
Yao Mengmeng recovered from the fear and despair just now, hugged Master Zi tightly, and cried inconsolably.
It turned out that she had been awakened just now, and the bell had also shaken her blood and qi, making her unable to move.
With the comfort of Master Zi, Yao Mengmeng soon stopped crying, stood up tremblingly, and looked at Cao Rui and others with eyes full of gratitude:
"Thank you all for your help."
Seeing that the courtesan and Mr. Zi were old acquaintances, Cao Rui waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite. However, he was very curious in his heart: did she know that Mr. Zi was actually a woman?
When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to Mingyunfang to play, bring Master Zi with me, and let Yao Mengmeng accompany me.
On the surface, it was two men and one woman drinking wine, but in reality, it was two women and one man. That scene must have been interesting.
As I said, time is tight and the task is heavy.
Cao Rui turned around and strode out of the room, followed closely by the others, leaving behind a series of firm footsteps that gradually faded away into the night.
The girls and guests of Mingyufang looked at them curiously, wondering what had happened.
Old Jia turned into a wisp of green smoke and followed. After flying for a distance, he found that his son had not caught up, so he immediately flew back and scolded him:
"Dongxu, stop looking and leave."
Little Jia Jia Dongxu said reluctantly:
"Dad, the courtesan is so pretty, just like Qin Huairu. And the girls in this building are all as pretty as fairies. Why aren't there any in the underworld?"
"At least you have married a beautiful woman, but your father got nothing. You should be content."
When little Jia Dongxu thought of his mother's short and fat appearance, he suddenly felt that old Jia had a hard time too. He felt much more balanced and made up his mind to practice hard in the underworld, hoping that maybe he could become a ghost messenger.
By then, there will be plenty of beautiful female ghosts... But they can only be concubines, and the position of wife will be left to Qin Huairu.
Calculating the time, in another thirty to fifty years, Qin Huairu would die of old age no matter how long she lived.
……
In a dilapidated temple, a butterfly was hiding in a corner and sleeping.
He is an extremely cunning and rapist who is good at martial arts and moves as swiftly as a monkey.
When Xiao Jia from his hometown entered the dilapidated temple to explore the way, he was caught off guard and was injured by the statue, causing him to let out a short ghost cry.
The butterfly was immediately awakened, climbed up to the roof swiftly, and disappeared into the night without making any sound.
boom!
boom!
At this moment, two gunshots were heard.
Chen Dani and Chen Shuozhen fired at the same time, hitting Hua Hudie's left and right legs respectively, and blood splattered everywhere.
The butterfly screamed and fell from the roof.
He was then caught by the Shen family guards who rushed over and tied him up tightly.
Young Master Zi stepped forward and kicked her. She never expected that there were so many rapists lurking in the peaceful Jinling City. Even her most beloved courtesan Yao Mengmeng was almost harmed.
She wanted to vent her anger just now, but Cao Rui was too cruel and the pretty man was in poor health, so she had to leave him some breath so that he could ride the wooden donkey.
So, Butterfly became the punching bag.
……
The commotion caused by Cao Rui and others was quite big, but it was nothing to the huge city of Jinling.
All I can say is that the moonlight filtered through the window lattice like a thin thread, sprinkling mottled light on a corner of the deputy governor's residence, adding a touch of mystery to the deep night.
The moon was half crescent, and this shadow dancer with a slender figure and a face hidden in the night was lurking quietly outside Zhang Jia's gorgeously decorated boudoir.
In the room, the flickering candlelight illuminated Zhang Jia's delicate and slightly lazy face. She seemed unaware of the impending danger.
The crescent moon lightly flew in through the window and landed silently on the ground, like a fallen leaf touching the ground.
Just as he was about to pounce on Zhang Jia, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, breaking the tranquility of the night.
"What happened outside?"
Zhang Jia frowned and asked, and the maid who was sleeping in the outer room immediately got up and said, "Madam, I'll go out and take a look."
Yuebanwan had no choice but to lie dormant again.
It turned out that Cao Rui and his men had come in a threatening manner to catch the rapist, but they were firmly blocked outside the door by the guards of the deputy governor's house on the grounds of "protecting the safety of the mansion."
The two sides confronted each other and the atmosphere was tense.
After Zhang Jia's personal maid got the news, she immediately went back to the house to report.
"Nonsense!"
Zhang Jia said angrily: "Our master is the deputy governor, which thief dares to be so presumptuous? Even if there is one, it cannot be made public. How can the reputation of so many women in the mansion be ruined!"
"Go tell the butler to send them away immediately and strengthen the guard."
……
Not long after the maid took the order and went out, she came back with her head down to report that the person had been sent away.
Night returned to peace again.
Seeing that her master had not returned for a long time, Zhang Jia Shi wondered whether he was busy with official business or drinking in a brothel?
She was too lazy to wait, so she took off her coat and went to bed wearing only her bellyband.
Unexpectedly, there was a man in black hiding behind the bed curtain. He put the dagger directly on Zhang Jia's neck and whispered:
"Don't move. Do whatever I tell you to do, or I'll cut your face!"
