Useless Scholar
Chapter 9
He was woken up by the sound of someone banging on the door.
The Ninth Young Master did not have a good temper. If someone dared to disturb his rest, that person basically did not need to continue living in this world.
However, this place was still outside, and his identity was just an ordinary merchant who had unfortunately encountered a mishap, happened to pass by this place, and had yet to recover from his injuries. So, although he was unwilling, he could only lift the blanket and walk to the door step by step. Then, he looked up at a certain bookworm who was standing in the courtyard at this moment, and even his face was pale with fright. He asked, "What happened?"
Not only did the banging on the door not stop, but it became more and more intense. There were even some people cursing and scolding.
The Ninth Young Master glanced at the door in the courtyard, then turned to look at Shu Mingshen.
Shu Mingshen frowned and said, "It's, it's the people from that brothel. Agy offended them a while ago, and they have already come here to cause trouble …"
Probably because they had suffered at the hands of Dongfang last time, more people came this time.
Shu Mingshen heard that the brothel belonged to the largest local power called "Baihutang". However, Agy did not do anything too overboard that day. He did not even fight back. Why did the other party have to be so aggressive?
The Ninth Young Master thought silently for a moment. He felt that it was better not to do such a small thing himself. Besides, although an ordinary person like Shu Mingshen could not see how good the man named Agy was, he could see it.
In addition to some information about this man that his subordinates had collected, the Ninth Young Master had already determined that this person should be the one he was thinking of. Although he still did not know why the other party faked his death and went to such a remote place to hide his identity, he was not even willing to reveal a bit of his martial arts …
The Ninth Young Master had always been a scheming person, so he could not help but wonder if the other party had the same idea as him.
There was also the young man named Dongfang, and the man who accidentally broke into Shu Mingshen's room that night …
As he thought about it, the Ninth Young Master's gaze involuntarily fell on the Young Master who was standing beside him.
Shu Mingshen's face was still pale. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Naturally, he didn't notice that Jiu Gongzi was looking at him strangely. "…"
"…" The Ninth Young Master could not help but click his tongue in his heart, thinking that the other party's "charm" was really not ordinary.
However, if these people wanted to snatch people from him, then they were a little lacking!
The Ninth Young Master narrowed his eyes, covered his mouth and coughed twice. He also showed an anxious and flustered expression and said, "Cough, cough, then, then what should we do?"
After Shu Mingshen anxiously walked two circles on the ground, he seemed to have finally thought of something. He quickly pulled the Ninth Young Master and ran towards the direction of the backyard, saying, "Before they break in, you should escape from the back door first!"
The Ninth Young Master heard this and was somewhat puzzled, "Then what about you?"
Those people did not come here to look for him, even if they wanted to escape, it should be the other party escaping, right?
Shu Mingshen ran until his head was covered in sweat. He did not even bother to turn his head and said to him, "I am the owner of this place, and I am responsible for guarding the house. Ninth Elder Brothers, you have nothing to do with this matter. In order to avoid being implicated, you should leave quickly!"
"…" The Ninth Young Master looked at the figure of Shu Mingshen running out while pulling him. He felt that this person was simply stupid. If he did not confirm from his subordinates that this person was the person he was looking for, he really did not dare to believe that this bookworm was the purpose of his trip …
Sure enough, there was no one at the back door. Shu Mingshen quickly opened the door and pushed the Ninth Young Master, who was still standing behind him, out of the door.
"Ninth Elder Brothers, you should leave quickly. Come back later, I will not keep you here for the time being!" Shu Mingshen said as he wiped the sweat on his forehead. It was unknown whether it was cold or hot.
The Ninth Young Master had a worried look on his face. He tightly held Shu Mingshen's hand and said, "But how can I bear to leave Brother Shu alone here?
Brother Shu has taken care of my body and improved my health. If I leave now, how can I face Brother Shu in the future? "
When Shu Mingshen heard this, although he was very nervous, he still smiled at the young man in white in front of him and said, "It doesn't matter. I know that the Ninth Elder Brothers has such intentions. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with you, Ninth Elder Brothers. If I implicate you, Ninth Elder Brothers, won't I be even more ashamed to face my old friends?!"
After saying that, he did not wait for the Ninth Young Master to continue persuading him. He anxiously closed the door of the backyard, as if he was afraid that the villains who had barged in would run here and catch the two of them.
"…" The Ninth Young Master looked at the closed door and thought silently for a moment. Then, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
This Baihutang was just a small local power. How dare they bully Shu Mingshen and the others?
However, it was not appropriate for him to make a move at this moment, so the Ninth Young Master cleverly decided to find someone to help him. He hoped that by the time he found him, the silly bookworm had not been harmed by those people …
Shu Mingshen wanted to move things over to block the door, but unfortunately, even if he moved everything in the house, it was still not enough to block the people outside the door.
Four or five strong men slammed the door open. Then, more than a dozen fierce-looking thugs with long swords swarmed in from outside the door and surrounded Shu Mingshen aggressively.
Shu Mingshen had never seen such a scene before. He was almost scared silly. He could only tremble and say to the other party, "Gentlemen, if you have something to say, let's talk nicely. Why do you have to use swords and guns …?"
"Bah," the leader spat fiercely and said, "Where are that useless Agy and the guy who dared to hit me that day?!"
