Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 153 Emperor Ming Kang's Arrangement, Daiyu's Alienation
Xianghuayuan was in a mess at this time, and Jia Rong and Xue Pan had passed out.Although there are many cases in the capital of fighting for the oiran lady, it is really uncommon for people to be beaten to death like today, and one of the two fainted people is the eldest grandson of the Ningguo Mansion, and the other He is the uncle of the Xue family, and they are all masters who are either rich or noble.

There were also a few extremely gorgeously dressed men standing beside them, who were the culprits of this big fight.

Standing at the front was Ma Changqing, the grandson of Qi Muhou Ma Changlong, and the two behind were strangers, one was Shi Guangzhu's second son Shi Kaixuan, and the other was Chen Zifeng.

"Brother Ma, isn't our shot too heavy!"

Chen Zifeng looked at the two fainted Jia Rong and Xue Pan who were directly beaten by their subordinates, with a little worry in his eyes.

The centipede is dead but not stiff. Although the Jia family has fallen, the influence of the family in the court is still not weak. Although it is not as powerful as theirs, it is still not to be underestimated. However, even if the branch government is re-established, there is still a sense of incense, and Chen Zifeng still has some scruples in his heart.

Hearing this, Ma Changqing actually felt a little regretful, but the two grandsons, Jia Rong and Xue Pan, were not forgiving just now, and when his head got hot, he couldn't hold back.

But Shi Kaixuan smiled coldly, his father was still lying at home!I heard from the imperial doctor that it is impossible to stand up again in this life. Their family has almost become a joke of the Xungui Group. The head of the family was directly disabled and became a useless person. To make matters worse, as for the concubine's room was secretly handled by the old lady of the Shi family.

It is precisely because of this that the Shi family hates Jia Gong deeply, but Jia Gong is too popular now, not to mention their Shi family, even the Fan family, the cabinet minister of the current dynasty, dare not provoke them. When Gong came to the door, he could only choose to swallow his anger. The queen went to Mingkangdi to complain, but Mingkangdi used a ridiculous reason to prevaricate it.

Under such a background, the Shi family would naturally not dare to take advantage of Jia Gong again. They would not even blink their brows if they killed a third-rank Shuntian government official. They were afraid of being slaughtered by the furious Jia Gong.

But the Fan family and the Shi family were all holding a sigh of relief, and several other people from Wu Xun's lineage who were extremely disgusted with Jia Jun didn't even need Fan Yuanhe to say a word, it was natural He just vented his anger on Jia's house, today's incident was nothing more than a few juniors who couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts, so they came here to beat people.

Not to mention them, even the Fan family has teamed up with Qi Muhou, Chen Ruiwen, and the Shi family to quietly search for the dirty things of the Jia family. A big family that has been in business for more than a hundred years like this, no one has a family. Those who are private and can't see the light are nothing more than cleaning up.

I don’t know if I don’t search for it, but when they searched for this pickle, they really collected a lot, not to mention the unreliable masters in the mansion, and the housekeepers, all of whom were rich in their own pockets and full of food. Fat intestines startled them all.

There is a lot of bullshit in the East Mansion. As the patriarch, Jia Zhen's life is extremely corrupt, even the teenage maid, but they have nothing to do about it. Maids do not have human rights in this era. The master dealt with it at will, but the second son Jia Rong made them catch a lot of tricks, such as hooking up with his father's concubine, which made these families dumbfounded.

There are also things in the West Mansion, the most conspicuous of which is that Jia Lian's wife, Wang Xifeng, put out interest money outside, and Jia Shen once took a fancy to an antique and bought and sold it by force. It's exactly the same as the East Mansion, and the brother with jade in the mansion said that the official in the court is the national traitor Lu Beetle.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a beating. The champion Hou Jiayu also beat the uncle of the country. Compared with him, we are just a small fight, and no one is killed. Even the governor of Shuntian Mansion doesn't care. , What about their Jia family and Xue family? At worst, they will pay for soup and medicine! If you can’t afford these few taels of silver, at worst, our Shi family will pay for it themselves~”

Hearing Shi Kaixuan's aggressive generals, Ma Changqing and Chen Zifeng were also somewhat superior. They were not very old, and they were at the time of passion. They are not domineering masters in the capital on weekdays, but recently Jia Guan returned to Beijing and suppressed them all. Can't hold my head up.

It's okay for Jia Jun to beat Uncle Guo's ass, they just beat two prodigal dudes, and they beat them as soon as they beat them. Now they are still afraid of being a bird, so it's possible that the emperor still cares about their mess.

"Brother Shi, what are you talking about? They're just two trash, so there's no need for them, and they won't be able to make waves~"

"Changqing is right. Since we started this matter together, we must not let you pay for the money yourself. Let the brothers in the capital know that the young talents in the capital are not only Jia Gong is alone, and the rest of us are also resounding heroes!"

Hearing this, Shi Kaixuan couldn't help giving the two thumbs up, and said: "The two brothers are right! Although the champion is invincible in the battlefield, he doesn't know the way of the officialdom. He not only beat Zaifu The faces of Fan Yuan and Master Fan also hurt the face of the empress, and after that, they hurt so many people on Jingxi Street, almost offending more than half of the officials in the court at once. It is impossible to move an inch!"

When Ma Changqing and Chen Zifeng heard Shi Kaixuan's words, they couldn't help but nodded slightly. Being in the officialdom is not something that can be solved by rushing around. Don't they know the truth of pushing the wall down? People, when the grace is gone in the future, just those who make trouble will be able to bury people.

"That's right, the champion Hou didn't know how to hold a group to keep warm, but relied on his own merits to hurt people and kill them~"

In the midst of the indignant discussion among several people, Liu Ju, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, received an oral order from the commander Xu Yuanhui.

As soon as Xu Yuantu came to Shuntian Mansion, he didn't talk too much nonsense, took out a gold medal from his bosom, held it up high, and then said in a cold voice: "Shang Shang said that Shuntian Mansion is the place where Jingji upholds justice for the people and the face of the imperial court." , the daily judgment of cases must be done impartially, the judiciary is strict, and the law must not be bent for personal gain, and justice must be returned to the common people.

Hearing Xu Yuantu's words, Liu Ju's body lying on the ground shuddered suddenly, his forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and his pupils shrank unconsciously twice. This was the first oracle he had received since he took office. , I didn't expect it to be this. He knew exactly how the former governor of Shuntian Prefecture died, and the meaning of Emperor Mingkang's beating was already very obvious.

After Xu Yuantu finished speaking, Liu Ju stood up tremblingly, confirmed the authenticity of the gold medal, and then asked cautiously: "I hope my lord will tell you, what does the emperor mean?"

Xu Yuantu chuckled, the prefect in front of him was quite interesting, "Lord Liu, the emperor doesn't mean anything, but I want you to enforce the law impartially in the future, but today I heard that someone in Xianghuayuan made a big move for jealousy, and this matter has spread to the emperor The emperor was very angry. During this period of time, the emperor was reviewing the memorials every day, and he was so busy that he didn’t even have time to drink tea, but these people were drinking and playing in the capital, jealous, and even beat people!"

"These people are so reckless, they have no intention of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country in their hearts. If they are not severely punished for causing chaos in the capital at this time, they will definitely attract people in the capital to imitate, which is not good for the country and not good for the capital. The emperor said it, God This period of time in the prison is very clean, and it is a good place to face the wall and think about the past~”

In less than half a cup of tea, the Yamen servants from Shuntian Mansion rushed to Xianghuayuan without saying a word, arrested Ma Changqing, Jia Rong and Xue Pan, and then walked away. Let a few families react, and when they learn about this situation, people have already arrived in the sky prison.

Jia's mansion waited for the two mansions to make up their minds to discuss an explanation, but they heard the young man come to report again, "Old lady, elder master, second master, master Zhen, it's not good, master Xiaorong from Dongfu, Xue The uncle was taken by the officials of the Shuntian Mansion, and has been sent to the prison!"

Hearing this, Mother Jia and the others couldn't help being shocked. What's going on?Didn't they say that Jia Rong and Xue Pan are the ones who suffer? Shouldn't they be the ones who do it if they want to be detained?How could they be apprehended? ?And put people in prison, what's going on?Doesn't Shuntian Mansion have its own prison?How could it be sent there? Is this new Shuntian governor crazy?

Aunt Xue who was at the side heard that Xue Pan was turned into the sky prison, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes, she was frightened and fainted, the sky prison is not a good place, it is a place where serious criminals are held, generally speaking Few of those who got there survived.

Seeing that Aunt Xue passed out and everyone was busy again, Mother Jia hurriedly asked again: "What's going on here? Did you see clearly that it was taken by Shuntian Mansion?"

Seeing the gloomy faces of the masters and the old lady in the room, the young man didn't dare to neglect at all, and hurriedly replied: "Go back to the old lady, it was Housekeeper Lai who confirmed the situation himself, and he was still asking what happened there What's the matter, I just teach the little one to come back and report the letter~ And this time, the uncle who was detained was not only from the family, but also those who did the tricks were all sent over together!"

Hearing this, everyone in the room was taken aback, and they were all taken into custody. Was the governor of Shuntian Mansion kicked in the head by a donkey?

When all of them were discussing before, they already knew that the people who did the fighting were the descendants of Wu Xun, including Shi Guangzhu's second son, Ma Changqing, and Chen Zifeng. younger generation.

The governor has detained everyone, so you are not afraid that they will make trouble for him?As for the motive for the beating, the few sensible people in the mansion also guessed it. After all, there is Shi Kaixuan, who is Shi Guangzhu's second son, and Ma Changqing and Chen Zifeng, who represent Qi Mu respectively. Waiting Ma Changlong and the third-rank Megatron General Chen Ruiwen, these two people have always been close to the Fan family, and now that this incident has happened, it is afraid that they will tear faces with their two houses.

After a while, Aunt Xue woke up again and turned around. Looking at Baochai and Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue couldn't help crying: "Sister! You must save this child, Pan'er! It’s a little unreliable, but it’s still meat that fell from my sister!”

Seeing that Aunt Xue was agitated, Mrs. Wang hurried forward to comfort her, "Sister, don't worry, the old lady and the master have already sent people to investigate. After all, we are also the ones who were beaten, and the blame is not on us. No matter how big the world is, It’s no more than a word of reason, you should rest well first, and when something happens, I’ll send someone to inform you~~”

Then Mrs. Wang ordered Baochai again, "Baochai, take good care of your mother. Now that something like this has happened, no one in the house thinks about it. It involves the face of the house, and the old lady will not just sit idly by." Yes, just wait for the news."

Baochai wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, stood up and responded softly, and sent Mrs. Wang away, and then came back with red eyes.

As soon as she came back, she saw her mother crying in secret, her heart ached for no reason, the tears flowed down again, and she cried bitterly while hugging her mother.

Compared to the chaos in the Rongguo Mansion, the actions of the Shi family, the Ma family, and the Chen family were even more unbearable. When they found out the news, they couldn't sit still. After all, it was their family who did the action. Now What good can a person get if he is arrested?

"This bastard dared to turn Changqing, Zifeng and the others into prison without authorization. I would like to ask him, who gave him the courage~~"

Ma Changlong slapped the table and said angrily.

To be honest, he never thought that the matter would develop to such an extent. It was just an ordinary beating. Jia Jun even beat Versace a few days ago!That's the uncle of the country, isn't it nothing? Why did the governor of Shuntian Mansion turn him away as soon as he arrived at his place?

In fact, speaking of this matter, it is really different. Jia Jun brought people directly to the mansion, and sent people to surround the mansion, so that the people in the mansion could not get out. No one reported to the officials at all, because neither the Fan family nor Jia Gong could be managed by the Shuntian Mansion.

When such a thing happens, we can only wait for the emperor's sanctification, unlike Ma Changqing, Chen Zifeng, Shi Kaixuan, Jia Rong, and Xue Pan, who are all white bodies now. Back then, Chen Zifeng went to the border customs to make a fool of himself and ruined tens of thousands of people in Datong. Soldiers, Emperor Mingkang didn't kill him, even if he was good, there is no way to talk about praise.

Not to mention the others, they are all white, so the Shuntian Mansion can take care of this matter, and the place where the incident happened is still outside, the people who passed by, and Xianghuayuan itself don't want to take this responsibility, so they went to Shuntian Mansion reported to the official.

And this matter is not the intention of the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, but the intention of Emperor Mingkang. Many things happened in the capital in the past two days, especially the two things Jia Gong did, which had a great impact. Although it seems that Gu Bo is not shocked, in fact, the undercurrent has already begun to surge. As the controller of Dakang, he is well aware of this matter, so he intends to use this matter to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, killing chickens to scare monkeys, Let the many forces in the capital calm down, and let's talk about it after a good year.

Soon the several prefectures got the inside story from Shuntian Fu Yin one after another, but this inside story was a bit heavy for them several prefectures.

When Ma Changlong heard the news, he couldn't help being stunned. It turned out that it was Emperor Mingkang's intention to send people to the prison. In a flash, he thought of many things. What exactly did Emperor Mingkang want to do?Is he planning to take action against them, or is he warning them to be honest and not to mess around.

The Shi family and the Chen family were like this. After they heard the news, they all fell into a strange silence, thinking about Emperor Mingkang's intentions. What exactly does the emperor want to do?
After the two governments heard the news, they were also full of doubts. They could not have been more honest during this period of time. What did it mean for Emperor Mingkang to throw Jia Rong and Xue Pan into the sky prison? Tang, her eyes were a little dull, she was worried about one thing, whether Jia Rong and Xue Pan's being sent to the prison would have any impact on Yuanchun's affairs, the two governments have now spared no effort for Yuanchun's affairs, even There was also an extremely important promise.If it was because of Jia Rong and Xue Pan that this matter ended up going bad, she might have the heart to strangle those two people to death.

But the matter has come to this point, there is no other way for the government, they can't watch their younger generation locked in the sky prison, so they also started to make connections, Qi Muhou and they asked for the Supreme Emperor, and Jia's side looked for it. Old Concubine Zhen's place is equivalent to begging the Supreme Emperor.

But this time, the Supreme Emperor didn't say anything, he criticized Qi Muhou and the others, and called Jia Amnesty into the Taihe Palace. He was also severely criticized, but it was not because of Jia Rong and Xue Pan's matter. Son, it was the matter of his forced buying and selling that almost scared Jia She to death. He didn't expect the Supreme Emperor to know about it, but he didn't mention anything about Xianghuayuan. .

In desperation, Mother Jia thought of Lin Ruhai and Jia Jun. Unfortunately, Jia Jun was not in the mansion at this time. After hearing this, Lin Ruhai shook his head helplessly, but in the end, for Mother Jia's sake, he Still went to Daming Palace.

About an hour later, Lin Ruhai came to Rongguo Mansion again.

"I have seen my mother-in-law~"

At this time, only a few men and grandmas from the two houses were left in the Rongqing Hall. When they saw Lin Ruhai, several of them also stood up to salute.

After Lin Ruhai sat down, Mother Jia sighed softly, her expression was a bit lonely, after all, the two houses did not resolve the matter in the end, but now they have asked for their son-in-law, which is a big deal for Mother Jia Then she said softly: "My son-in-law, this matter troubles you again, I don't know~"

Lin Ruhai clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, you are being polite. In fact, this matter is not a big deal. It's just that the court has been busy with official duties recently, and the Holy Majesty is busy with government affairs every day. He didn't touch the ground every day. He overheard this matter." Son, Longyan was displeased, so he put them in the sky prison. The days would not be too long, at most three to five days. The people who are useful in Dakang, Jiangshan, and the country are not the sons who are idle all day long, the emperor has high expectations for them!"

"Actually, from another perspective, this matter is also considered a good thing. You know it's not a blessing if you lose your horse. Brother Rong from the Ningguo Mansion and Brother Pan from the Xue family were beaten up and shut down again. They have entered the prison cell, but they are already in the eyes of saints, if they can really work hard and work hard in the future, they may not be able to soar into the sky!"

Hearing Lin Ruhai's words, everyone in the room had different expressions.

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that things would involve Yuan Chun, and things have come to this point. It's such a pity.

Mrs. Wang also breathed a sigh of relief, not only because of her elder sister's affairs, but also she could have an explanation for Aunt Xue, and she came over after only three or five days.

Jia Amnesty was thoughtful. When he came back from Emperor Taikang, he was thinking about what Taikang Emperor meant. His old man investigated what he was doing for no reason, and later he thought it might be because Emperor Taikang knew something. What, this reminded him, thinking along this line of thought, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. At this time, who would come to investigate Jia's mansion!

I am afraid that apart from the Fan family and the Shi family, or today's Ma family and Chen family, I am afraid that no one will come to investigate them. The intention of those people to investigate the Jia family can be said to be self-evident. Before Lin Ruhai came, he had Arranged a few confidantes to start investigating the family affairs, intending to nip these matters in the bud. If they are really stabbed by those people at that time, I am afraid that they will be crippled even if they are not dead.

Now listening to the information brought by Lin Ruhai, he was more sure of his guess in his heart. Since Jia Rong and Xue Pan would only be locked up for three to five days at most, the other companies might be the same, and their intentions were nothing more than knocking mountains and shaking tigers. Kill chickens to scare monkeys, let those families be more honest, and at the same time let their families be more honest, don't make any more fools, the meaning behind this warning is actually very clear.

After all, during this period of time, many major events occurred in the court, and even the officialdom became turbulent, which was very unfavorable to the rule of the court.

As for what Lin Ruhai said later, he didn't believe it at all. He was very self-aware. If Jia Rong and Xue Pan could really calm down and learn literature and martial arts, it would be even more outrageous than an old sow climbing a tree!

In another wing room in the west courtyard, Jia Baoyu had just come back from school, and was startled when he heard the attacker in the room talk about today's events, but when he heard Daiyu coming again, he turned his head and looked away. Put these things aside, after all, to him, even a hundred Jia Rong and Xue Pan are not worth one sister Lin.

Just when he ran into the wing room in a hurry, he was told by the women who cleaned here, Daiyu, welcome the spring.Tanchun and the others went to see Baochai. After all, such a big thing happened in Xue's family, and the sisters have been together for so long, it's not good to not even ask!
So Baoyu went from here to Lixiangyuan again, and after about a cup of tea, Jia Baoyu came to Lixiangyuan. Things have never let go of my heart since just now.

"Sister Bao, what's the matter?"

Baoyu pushed the door open and entered, and saw the three women comforting Baochai, talking in a low voice.

When the girls saw Baoyu coming, they also stood up to say hello, but this time Daiyu showed a lot of estrangement from Baoyu, even Yingchun and Tanchun could tell that the two girls looked at each other, so they didn't understand. , they found that Daiyu had changed a lot from the previous few days, both her body and her temperament seemed to have become better.

Of course, there is a reason for this change, whether it is body or temperament, it is all because of Jia Gong.

In fact, Jia Gong had thought about the marriage at the time. Although he was a bit hasty, he also had his own reasons. He knew that Daiyu was very sensitive. It also saves her from thinking wildly, otherwise she will be left with a sickness after taking care of her body.

Of course, his feelings for Daiyu are not that deep at this time. After all, he only met once or twice. It’s just that he did such a thing before, and with the blessing of the original book, he brought up that sentence. At that time, what Jia Jun said was that reason was more important than emotion. After all, he had to bear the responsibility for what he did.

But Daiyu is different. Through the stories in the storybook, scenes, words, encounters and partings again and again, she has expectations for Jia Gong, and when they meet, all these expectations are transformed into another. An indescribable emotion, speaking of it, compared with Jia Gong, Daiyu is more emotional.

So when Jia Guan brought up the engagement, she didn't object, but acquiesced. I have to say that Jia Guan took advantage of this bold attempt. If he didn't say that, if he really fell in love with her in the future This fairy-like girl, I'm afraid she will also be timid at that time, and she can't speak when the words come to her mouth.

When you really care about emotional matters, you can't say it out often. When you really say it out, and then you experience it carefully, you will suddenly find that it is not the state of mind at the beginning.

"Sister Lin! Why haven't you seen me for a few days, but you treat me so strangely~"

But Baoyu couldn't stand Daiyu's unfamiliarity. Although he was hiding before, it wasn't like today. There was a trace of estrangement everywhere, as if a wall had been built between the two of them. The two separated.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? Why are you unfamiliar?"

"It's so vague, it makes people wonder what we were like before!"
