Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 818
A novel "Kaifeng Mansion" directly ignited the flame of cleaning up the unstable factors in the capital, and the fire spread rapidly.

There was a moment of turmoil on the street, but the tense atmosphere soon passed.

After all, there are many dignitaries and officials in the capital, and those who are not on the stage all have more or less backing backgrounds, and cleaning up is just a matter of wind.

If it is carried out for a long time, I am afraid that the responsible officials will be unlucky.

Of course, it was cleared like a gust of wind. In a short period of time, the prisons of the Shuntian government office and the prisons of the two counties under its jurisdiction were overcrowded.

There are even many new faces in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Punishment was very efficient in the matter of conviction and punishment this time, and the verdict was issued very quickly.

Those culprits who wanted to be executed by Qiuhou Wen were basically sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for further training.

The rest of the thieves were all dispatched to the frontier fortress of Jin Province. As for where they were finally assigned to labor reform, it was an internal matter of Jin Province.

For a while, on the official road from the capital to Jin Province, long escort teams appeared from time to time, making the official road a mess.

Such a scene stunned the Xue family and his party who had just arrived in the capital area.

That's right, the head of the Xue family in Jinling and his party finally went to Beijing.

Similar to the story of the Red Chamber, the influence of Jia Rong's existence on Daqian is mainly in the north, while the influence in the south is very slight.

That is to fish Lin Ruhai out of the maelstrom in Yangzhou, as for the other things, there is no major change.

Even the method of drying salt that Lin Ruhai wanted to promote was shelved by the southern officials and local tycoons.

As for the boundary of Jinling, except that Jia Yucun did not become the magistrate, everything else has not changed much from the story of the Red Chamber.

It was not easy for Jia Rong to manage the Jia clan in the capital, so naturally she would not bother to target the Jinling clan.

Besides, the Jinling clan doesn't necessarily give face.

Since there are no major changes, should something happen to Xue Pan, the overlord, or something will happen. Who told him to act recklessly without the law?

Perhaps it was the arrangement of fate, or the fate between him and Xiangling, this time it was still because of Xiangling that he killed someone and fled the capital.

This time, the prefect of Jinling is not Jia Yucun, and the Xue family still uses their connections to help the dumb king get out of prison.

It's luck to say that this time the prefect of Jinling didn't identify a dead person for Dumb King.

However, because Xue Pan killed the son of a landlord, the influence was quite bad.

Once someone gets to the bottom of it, neither the prefect of Jinling nor Xue Pan can afford to walk around, so Aunt Xue simply took a pair of children to Beijing for the safety and reputation of Daibawang.

It is also possible to say that Tian goes to relatives, and it is also possible to avoid disasters.

Of course, spectators who are familiar with the original work of the Red Chamber know that Aunt Xue's most of them have the meaning of getting rid of the troubles of the clan in addition to protecting her son.

After all, the Xue family is an imperial merchant family, and the family's business connections are spread all over the country.

In the feudal era like Daqian, it is quite a wealth resource.

Xue Pan is an out-and-out dude, and his demonstrated ability is simply not enough to be the head of the Xue family.

Since the death of Xue Pan's father, the previous head of the Xue family, the business territory of the Xue family has shrunk considerably in a short period of time.

The interests of the rest of the family were damaged, so Xue Pan, the patriarch, was naturally questioned.

If Aunt Xue hadn't used the power of the Wang family and the Jia family to forcibly suppress the dissatisfaction within the Xue family, she and her two children would be in a very dangerous situation.

It was also seeing this, and Xue Pan could not continue to show up in Jinling, so he left Jinling in a hurry.

The situation is similar to that of the original book. It is estimated that they wanted to wait and see the direction of the wind. The Xue family spent more than a year on the road before arriving in the capital area.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I just arrived outside the capital, I saw a long distribution team, directly blocking the official road.

Since the servants of Xue's family went to visit, then Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and Xue Baochai all knew what was going on.

"Why are all the criminals in the capital sent to Jin Province?"

Aunt Xue was very puzzled, as if there were no such rules in the past.

"Mother, maybe Jin Province needs these criminals!"

Xue Baochai could see clearly, she shook her head and said, "Let's stop first, and leave after these criminals leave!"

Regardless of ancient or modern times, ordinary people are reluctant to approach criminals.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the impatient Xue Pan intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother, you have to pay attention, the capital is under the feet of the emperor, and you can't tolerate brother's presumptuousness!"

"My sister was joking, how could I make trouble in the capital?"

Xue Pan rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Besides, don't we have relatives in the capital, is there something wrong with the relatives?"

Aunt Xue said: "Even if the relatives can settle things down, you can't mess around like you did in Jinling!"

"Got it mother!"

Xue Pan couldn't bear his mother and sister's preaching, so he rode his horse and rushed far away, shouting, "I'll go ahead to find out the situation!"

Seeing the back of Xue Pan going away, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai sighed at the same time.

"Mother, don't worry!"

After the Xue family's convoy stopped, Xue Baochai comforted him: "I heard that the Jia family is well-known academically, and the management is very strict!"

"When we get to the capital, let my elder brother enter the Jia family to study, so that my elder brother can change his temper!"

"That's a good idea!"

Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard the words, she nodded and said: "It should be so!"

This time, when the Xue family came to Beijing, it was naturally impossible to come here in the name of going to relatives, so they should not be underestimated by relatives.

Like the original book, they used the banner of letting Xue Baochai enter the palace as a companion for the princesses and princesses.

Of course, given that Xue's house in the capital was old and dilapidated, and it would take a long time to clean up and repair it, it was natural that they had to temporarily live in a relative's house.

Prince Teng of the Wang family has been working as an official in other places. Those staying at the Wang family's mansion at this time are not very familiar with Aunt Xue, so naturally they would not welcome the Xue family and his party to borrow.

Of course, Aunt Xue was not very happy to stay at Wang's house.

As far as snobbery is concerned, Aunt Xue also has it, but she doesn't show it on the bright side, but her behavior has already revealed it very clearly.

Naturally, the Xue family wanted to stay with the Jia family. Whether they wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, enter the circle of high-ranking elites, or consolidate their status as an imperial merchant, it was a good choice to use the power of the Jia family.

Not to mention, the Jia family in the capital city can be said to be thriving at this time, much stronger than the Xue family who has gone downhill.

Of course, in order to avoid embarrassment, Aunt Xue went to Mrs. Wang, the head wife of Xinrong Mansion, to explain her meaning clearly, and got a positive response from Mrs. Wang...
