Chapter 734: Restlessness

When the three bear children, as well as Zhang Shou, Zhu Ying, Zhang Chen and his entourage were lobbying and betting in An'er Hutong, the Kong family was just a scene of chickens and dogs. Master Kong Jiu woke up in the morning and felt a splitting headache, but he really wanted to take what happened last night as a nightmare, but after getting up, the two little guys came in with a frightened face, and when they saw him, they suddenly retreated in shock.

It was like a ghost—and it was a ghost!

According to his usual habits, Master Kong Jiu, who was sitting on the bed, had already drunk the order to drag people down and beat them again, but at this time, because he was pressing the incident last night, he held back the anger in his heart for the first time, and just shouted in annoyance: "What kind of system is it to be so flustered, don't come to change my clothes!" ”

"Old ...... Master...... You...... Your neck! ”

Hearing the word neck, Master Kong Jiu chuckled in his heart, he subconsciously reached out to touch his neck, and when he found that there was nothing unusual, he immediately showed a false alarm, but the next sentence that the little guy said tremblingly made his movements freeze suddenly: "Master, your neck is ...... There's a handprint on the neck! ”

Master Kong Jiu only felt a chill in his heart, and that cold aura suddenly permeated his whole body, making him even crunch his teeth! He wanted to denounce the absurdity, but the frightened looks of the two little guys didn't seem to be fake, so he simply got out of bed and dressed with a straight face, but even if he pretended not to care, his movements were extremely stiff.

It wasn't until a few clothes were put on his body and when he stood in front of the bronze mirror that he saw the completely abnormal marks on his neck, and he was so shocked that he took two steps back for a while. However, even if the bronze mirror was often polished, the clarity was really not good, so to see what the shape of the mark was, he had to get closer again.

When he finally saw the little handprint clearly, his whole face was almost on the bronze mirror. Frightened, he trembled and touched the bruise on his neck with his hand, but with just a slight pressure, he couldn't help but gasp.

It hurts! It's not fake, it wasn't a nightmare last night, everything was real!

Master Kong Jiu only felt that every pore on his body was cold, even if he paid the most attention to majesty and dignity in front of his subordinates in the past, at this time, he had no way to maintain the demeanor of a scholar. What made him tremble even more was that one of the little guys suddenly lost his temper completely, and he was actually shouting loudly.

"It's a ghost, it's really a terrible ghost! He dared to pinch the master's neck, let alone ransack the kitchen! All the food in the kitchen was emptied, whether it was live chickens, big ducks, mutton, beef, eggs...... I didn't even let those chickens and pigs go into the water, how many years of starvation ghost reincarnation is this! ”

Thinking that his surname Tang died of anger not long after the death of his young son in the same year, and it is said that there was a scandal in the family about the establishment of an heir and a dispute over property, Master Kong Jiu was completely a joke at that time, but now he is trembling all over. No matter who inherits the Tang family, it has been completely ruined now, I think it is because he forgot that such a child who died early, and there was no sacrifice to support him, would he not become a starving ghost full of resentment towards him?

With a pale face, he forced his composure to drink the obviously frightened little guy, but when he was about to interrogate the other guy, he saw that he was shaking like chaff. Knowing that he couldn't count on these two useless guys, he could only overcome his fear and change his clothes, and wrapped a thick scarf to cover his neck, and then walked out of the study without washing.

When Master Kong Jiu hurried to the kitchen, his wife Zhao had already arrived one step ahead of him. Unlike the wife of Confucius University, the long-sleeved Gu who is good at dancing, the ninth wife Zhao is not a shrewd and capable character, but a little cowardly. At this time, she faced the messy kitchen and the chaotic people, not to mention the suppression, she herself was in a daze.

"It's ...... What the hell is going on? ”

The four mothers who came next to him, one said that he wanted to report to the official, one said that he wanted to invite a monk and Taoist priest to do things, and one said that someone at home must be guarding and stealing, so it is better to detain all the people in the kitchen and interrogate them for a good trial, and the last one shouted that it is better to ask the master to make the decision. Therefore, what Master Kong Jiu saw was a scene of coaxing no one to come forward.

He doesn't have much affection for the yellow-faced woman of the Zhao family on weekdays, but he just saves face for the main room, and when he sees this scene, he can't help but shout angrily: "All of them are crowded here to chew their tongues, all of them will go back to me and do their own things!" And you...... How do you take care of things as a housewife, I wake up early in the morning and the whole house is in a mess! ”

Zhao was angry when she saw Master Kong Jiu coming, although she was aggrieved, how dare she argue, who has always bowed down to her husband, and she can only make amends there.

However, Master Kong Jiu didn't have time to take care of her at all, so he went directly into the kitchen with a cold face. He was a man who had always believed in gentlemen and cooks, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, the smell of all kinds of smells came to his face, and he was so smoked that he almost staggered, and when he saw the messy scene, he almost fell to the ground on his feet.

All the cabinets were completely open, and the jars that I didn't know whether they were used to store rice noodles or pickled meat and pickles were all wide open, and there were all kinds of chicken hair, cabbage leaves and other miscellaneous items on the floor, as well as broken eggs. But the most frightening thing is the small bloody footprints that can be seen in many places!

"Sacrifice, he said he wanted a sacrifice, this turned out to be true......"

Muttering about what the other party had asked for him last night, Master Kong Jiu's last bit of reluctance to repay the debt also came to naught, replaced by fear from the heart. He didn't dare to stay in this messy place at all, and staggered backwards, not looking at Zhao who was waiting for him to give orders, and went straight to the study in a daze.

When he returned to the study with one foot high and one foot low, he saw the two little guys standing in the courtyard with pale faces when they got up in the morning. He didn't even have time to ask, and the two of them rushed straight up as if they had met a great savior, and the one who had lost his temper before and yelled that he had a handprint on his neck was also yelling at this time.

"Master, bloody footprints, there are two bloody footprints on your window railing!"

The last point was that the luck of the nightmare also failed, and Master Kong Jiu only felt that the world was spinning, and he could no longer support his body for a while, so he collapsed limply. In the face of this scene, the two little guys were so frightened that they couldn't take care of the master, and ran out in a panic, leaving Master Kong Jiu to lie alone in the empty courtyard.

By the time someone arrived, Dr. Taichang had been lying on the ground for a good moment, and his whole body was cold—literally, of course. At that moment, the people hurriedly sent the person back to the room, and found that the person had already started a high fever.

The Zhao family, who was completely confused, couldn't blame those subordinates, and while coming over to serve the sick in person, he hurriedly sent someone to report to the sister-in-law Gu next door, but the reply from there was only a box of medicinal herbs and the news that Gu was also sick in bed.

Gu also said that Confucius University went to Huairou Huangzhuang to pacify the chaos, she was worried that her husband would go wrong, and she was worried about Zhu Tingfang's visit before, so she became ill, and now she even handed over the family affairs to her daughter-in-law, she really can't help. If necessary, the Confucian family Xifu will definitely give people and things, but it can only help so much.

That day, I witnessed a dispute between my husband and the Confucian scholar who had always been the leader of the Confucian family, and even the Confucian scholar, who had always been particular about face, was so distracted that he grabbed people's collars and yelled, even if the Zhao family was a person who didn't care about anything, he knew that his master had definitely done something wrong.

When Master Kong Jiu actually talked with Gu Shi about how much money he had supplied Confucius Scholar over the years, she felt even more bad when he was in front of Confucius Scholar.

Therefore, the Gu family put on such a look that he didn't want to take care of it, and the Zhao family couldn't help it. Without the face of Confucius University, the imperial doctor in the palace could not be invited, she could only ask people to invite a few famous internal medicine experts in the capital, but they were invited, but she didn't dare to let people come to see him when she stayed by her husband's side.

Because, when she was standing in front of the sickbed, she didn't know if Master Kong Jiu was burned and confused, or if he was nightmare by the crossing ghost who was shouting in private, he actually talked nonsense when he had a fever, and he was apologizing to a young man surnamed Tang all the time, and he kept saying that he would definitely prepare the sacrifices that others wanted as soon as possible, and even shouted something...... I didn't mean to kill you?

If the doctor hears this, wouldn't it be fatal? How can such a handle be delivered to a stranger!

So, even if the doctor was finally invited, Zhao could only send his henchman mother to offer the consultation fee, saying that his master was fine, and then politely sent the person away. As for how to reduce fever for Master Kong Jiu, who has a high fever...... She had to use a cold, wet towel to apply to her forehead.

Of course, she also knew that such a fever reduction would not cure the root cause, so she had to hurriedly send her henchmen to find those doctors who dared to prescribe prescriptions without looking at the disease, and then went to the medicine hall to grab the medicine with the antipyretic prescription that cured the wind and cold to the bones.

However, she felt that this would not let the nonsense that Master Kong Jiu said leak out, but what she didn't expect was that the concubines in the backyard were all worried that Master Kong Jiu would be so ill, so they all tried their best to find out the news. As soon as they heard that she had hired a doctor but sent people away, and went to the medicine hall to get medicine, which was also an unknown prescription prescribed by the pheasant doctor, they couldn't sit still.

Master Kong Jiu is here, they are concubines who wear gold and silver, Master Kong Jiu is not there, as long as Zhao's housewife says a word for sale, they will be swept out of the house immediately, and the precious hairpin ring jewelry is not theirs, and there is not even a single piece of clothing left!

So, after the seven or eight concubines counted each other, they didn't care about the Zhao family's ban, they went straight to the main room together, and when they arrived at the courtyard gate, they didn't care about 3721, and they all cried loudly. This one shouted that the husband and wife were so sick, the one who cried that the wife was reluctant to ask for a doctor, this one said that he was willing to use jewelry to treat the master, and the other one shouted that the husband and wife were originally birds in the same forest, and they flew separately when the disaster came.

Zhao was angry and anxious when he heard the voice, and he couldn't care about the high fever in bed for a while, and the old man Kong Jiu, who had not woken up, hurriedly went out to scold, but as a result, she who had never been able to control the scene was the opponent of these shrews, and she was unable to get off the stage as soon as she came and went.

And she didn't dare to let others take care of her husband in the house, so she only left a trustworthy henchman, and as a result, this mother could hear the one-sided battle situation outside, and she didn't care about Master Kong Jiu on the bed, so she hurriedly went out to help in the war. At this moment, Master Kong Jiu is the real sick bed and no one cares about it, and when he wakes up in a groggy state, he only listens to the scolding and fighting outside.

He wanted to make a sound, but his throat was dry and hoarse, and his voice was as weak as a mosquito's cry, and he wanted to move his body and sit up, from his fingers to his toes, and there was nowhere to listen to him. He could hear and see, but he couldn't hear or move, and even though it had only lasted for a short while, he felt as if he was about to go crazy.

He even wondered in horror if the ghost from the Netherworld had cursed him at all last night, so that he had fallen into such a miserable state overnight.

Just when Master Kong Jiu was about to go crazy, the sound of ping-pong smashing things came from outside the door. He regained a little bit of his senses, and then he heard a sound of noise and footsteps, and after a while, Zhao, who still had tears on his face, appeared in front of him angrily. Looking at each other, he saw that Zhao was stunned at first, then ecstatic, and pounced all at once.

"Master, you're awake!" The Zhao family was full of grievances and wanted to sue, especially those little sluts who were swaggering just now actually slandered her and wanted the life of Master Kong Jiu, and she was even more angry and hateful. Therefore, she forgot that Master Kong Jiu had just woken up, and poured beans into the bamboo tube and poured out the nonsense he had just said.

She emptied her heart, but Master Kong Jiu was so frightened that her heart was completely clenched. You must know that not only was the guy who came forward to hire the murderer killed him for this fatal matter, but among the rest of the insiders, in the past two or three years, he tried every means to get rid of them one by one.

I thought I could sit back and relax for the rest of my life, but last night a terrible ghost came out to ask for his life, and today he has a high fever and talks nonsense! Fortunately, the person who heard it was the Zhao family, if it was one of the concubines who served in Israel, wouldn't he be finished?

No, no, no, even the Zhao family can't be foolproof, he hasn't paid much attention to this yellow-faced woman, God knows if people hate him to the bone, so he used this as an excuse not to find a doctor for him!

Master Kong Jiu took a deep breath, squirmed his lips and wanted to say something, at least to appease the Zhao family, even if she really disposed of those concubines he liked very much in the past, but even if he tried his best, he couldn't spit out a complete sentence. And at this time, a mother broke in in a panic at such an inopportune time.

"Ma'am, ma'am, no! Lord Zhu, who was in charge of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, came, he said that he wanted to see the master, let's say that the master was sick, and the family sent someone to Taichang Temple to ask for leave, but this didn't stop him. Those little hooves have already run to complain to Lord Zhu, what should I do? ”

Not only Master Kong Jiu, but even the Zhao family only felt a cool breath rushing to his head, and he was so cold that he was cold all over his body for a while.
