Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 152 The son-in-law of the virtuous son-in-law guessed right, sighing that no one in Jia's mansion can understand

Except for Baoyu, everyone in Jia's two houses was immersed in joy.

The huge Jia Mansion beat Xia Shouzhong when he delivered the decree.

No one cared about it.

Feng Yibo saw it in his eyes, but he could only sigh secretly in his heart.

But as an outsider, he wouldn't pour cold water on him at this moment.

After confirming the news, he bid farewell and left.

Send Daiyu and Miaoyu back to Lin Mansion.

By the way, I found Lin Ruhai again and told him about it.

"It is indeed a good thing for the two governments that the eldest daughter of the Jia family is named a concubine."

After Lin Ruhai heard the story, Weng and his son-in-law discussed it in the study.

"But if it's as you said, it can only be said that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and people can't figure out what it means."

Feng Yibo didn't care much about things that didn't involve him.

He leisurely walked the tea and said casually:
"Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Lin Ruhai waved his hands when he heard the words, frowned and said:
"As the saying goes, there is no small matter in the Tian family. Your thoughts are indeed reasonable."

After finishing speaking, he fell into deep thought, and then spoke again after a while, saying:
"Concubine concubine should be a happy event, why did Xia Bingzhong beat Jia's mansion?"

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Feng Yibo's response.

Lin Ruhai stood up and paced, muttering:

"There is only an oral order, but no decree, and the eunuch who delivered the decree refused to say a word, such an obvious beating..."

Some places can't figure it out.

Lin Ruhai sat back to his seat, shook his head, and said:
"Tsk! This matter is too strange, not to mention that no one in Jia's house can understand it, even the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty don't understand the sacred meaning at this time."

Feng Yibo was just talking casually.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai cared so much at this time, he guessed:
"Will beating Jia's house simply mean that His Majesty is not satisfied with this matter?"

"Maybe even..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Arranged by the Supreme Emperor?"

"It's possible."

When Lin Ruhai heard this, his eyes lit up.

But just after he finished speaking, he shook his head again and said:

"But the Supreme Emperor has not been involved in court affairs for a long time, even if he really wants to give advice to the Holy Majesty, he shouldn't do anything in the harem."

Lin Ruhai's implication is that this matter is not the style of the Supreme Emperor.

He wanted to mention Jia's house, and there were plenty of ways.

No, and there is no need to start from the harem.

The problem seems to be deadlocked once again.

Feng Yibo thought for a while, and continued following this train of thought:

"But if it's not the Supreme Emperor, who should it be?"

After speaking, he asked and answered by himself, frowning and guessing:

"Empress Dowager?"

After saying this answer, he shook his head again, feeling wrong.

Because the empress dowager and the Jia family have no interests involved.

Unless it is arranged by the Supreme Emperor through her.

But what the Supreme Emperor wants to arrange, obviously there is no need to do anything extra.

Even if the empress dowager wanted to promote someone, it was her natal family.

It's not the Jia family's turn anyway.

Thinking of this, Feng Yibo suddenly thought of another possibility.

His eyes lit up, he stood up excitedly and said:

"Uncle, do you think it could be that old concubine?"

"Old concubine?"

Lin Ruhai froze for a moment, but then frowned and said:
"If it's her, why not praise the Zhen family, but the Jia family?"

Speaking of the Zhen family, Feng Yibo remembered their collusion with Japanese pirates.

At this time, Weng and his son-in-law are already in the capital, and there is no one else in the study.

Without further hesitation, he spoke directly:

"Uncle doesn't know, I have always kept something in my heart, and I have never revealed it to anyone."

When Lin Ruhai heard that it was a secret matter, she sat upright and waited quietly for his statement.

"When I was suppressing the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River, I discovered that the Zhen family had connections with the Japanese pirates."

Feng Yibo didn't tell the truth, but he didn't talk about the specific process either.

He directly stated his guess, and said with a solemn expression:
"To a large extent, they may be the channels for the pirates to sell stolen goods, and even some of the pirates' backers."

After saying this, Feng Yibo expressed his guess, saying:
"Tell me, could it be that the emperor knows this and that's why he refuses to praise the Zhen family?"

This guess can be said to be extremely bold.

If so, it is simply saying.

The emperor is appeasing the adulterers!
Unexpectedly, such a bold guess.

But Lin Ruhai was not surprised at all.

Hearing Feng Yibo's words, Lin Ruhai even nodded slightly.

It seems reasonable.

"Do you remember when I was poisoned?"

Lin Ruhai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mentioning this unpleasant matter, he said coldly:
"When I knew about it, I guessed that it was the Zhen family who did it."

"Ah."

Feng Yibo nodded without any surprise.

At that time, he had already found out some clues, but Lin Ruhai stopped him.

But the Zhen family was also mentioned.

"Not long after I took over the Xunyan job, I found out about a major event related to the Zhen family!"

Lin Ruhai recalled the situation at that time with a lot of emotion in his heart.

The matter involved the Zhen family, and they were old relatives of the Jia family.

If it was an ordinary matter, he might have helped suppress it.

After all, it is normal for aristocratic families to cover up each other.
only……

Lin Ruhai's complexion was solemn, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said:

"It's just that the relationship is too big. I didn't say anything. After investigating the situation, I quietly reported it to the Holy One."

Having said that, he sighed heavily and said:
"Well, I still took it lightly at the time, thinking that no one would know."

Feng Yibo knew right away that things were not that simple.

People who commit crimes habitually go back to the scene to take a look.

How could someone like the Zhen family not leave some precautionary measures?
Sure enough, Lin Ruhai said with a depressed face:

"Thinking about it now, they may not know whether I reported it, but when I investigated it, they must have been alarmed."

"Fortunately, I didn't go deep, and I'm related to the Jia family. That may be the case, so they didn't launch a thunderbolt."

Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai is not half lucky.

Instead, it was the first time that he showed hatred in front of Feng Yibo.

"But they still started quietly and poisoned my family."

When he was in Jiangnan before, he was afraid that if he talked too much, it would drag Feng Yibo down.

So at that time, he always looked calm and breezy.

It seems that he has no hatred for poisoning him.

But how is it possible?

At this time, there was no one else in the capital, Lin Ruhai no longer needed to cover up, and said through gritted teeth:
"If I hadn't been busy with official duties at that time and had more entertainment, every time I went home, I would either have clear porridge or hangover soup."

"With my body, I'm afraid I won't be able to get engaged to Daiyu, and I might still walk ahead of her mother!"

When Jia Min was mentioned, guilt surged in his heart.

This is the eternal pain in his heart.

Some people don't feel it when they are there.

Once lost, it can never be forgotten.

If it wasn't for Feng Yibo still in front of him, tears might well be pouring out.

"Every time I think about it, I feel that your aunt has suffered on my behalf!"

Speaking of Jia Min, Lin Ruhai felt a little depressed, and sighed:
"But until now, there has been no movement on this matter."

At this moment, Feng Yibo wanted to tell him about the overseas affairs, so as to relieve Lin Ruhai's hatred.

But after thinking about it, I still didn't say it.

It's not that she doesn't trust Lin Ruhai.

Rather: if the confidentiality is not kept secret, it will cause harm.

If there is no sense of confidentiality, I am afraid that no major event can be done.

I talked to Lin Ruhai today, and I will talk to Li Shouzhong tomorrow.

Are you going to talk to Jia Lian the day after tomorrow?
It won't be long before Da Wei knows that he is the Black Dragon King?

Feng Yibo's thoughts were just for a moment.

Lin Ruhai was still immersed in the hatred of killing his wife and poisoning her, and continued:

"But I know that the Zhen family will fall into this matter sooner or later."

Speaking of this, he looked at Feng Yibo with a look of relief on his face.

He smiled coldly again and said:
"Now you say that the Zhen family is involved with Japanese pirates. If it is not bad, they may be trying to make up for the hole in the Yanzheng."

Seeing Lin Ruhai's cold eyes, Feng Yibo knew that he hated the Zhen family in his heart.

After all, they almost died in their hands.

No wonder Lin Ruhai didn't move!
It turned out that he just knew that he couldn't touch the Zhen family, so he had been holding back.

Feng Yibo didn't ask what was going on.

But from Lin Ruhai's few words, one can guess one or two.

When it comes to salt administration, it is another hole to plug.

It is nothing more than misappropriation, corruption of ink and the like.

Just looking at Lin Ruhai's determined appearance, he knew that the matter was serious.

Too big for the emperor to forgive!

Feng Yibo vaguely guessed in his heart, probably at least a million or more?

Not even impossible.

"Unfortunately, it's all in vain."

Thinking of the futile struggle of the Zhen family, Lin Ruhai sneered and said:

"To be disrespectful, as long as the old concubine is gone, the Zhen family will immediately ransack the house!"

Speaking of this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help feeling sorry, and sighed:
"It's a pity, after all, they are members of the old concubine's clan, so I'm afraid they won't exterminate the clan."

On weekdays, Lin Ruhai always looks like a refined, easy-going, modest gentleman.

Today, Feng Yibo saw his repressed side.

I also understand why Lin Ruhai said earlier that he would retreat to the second line, but has always stuck to Lantai.

It turned out that his knot had not been untied yet.

"I also want to understand, today's Holy One is most afraid of being called unfilial!"

Having said that, he patted Feng Yibo and said:
"So, Yibo, what you said makes sense."

"If the Holy One is waiting to punish the Zhen family's crimes, how can he still praise the Zhen family?"

After hearing Lin Ruhai's analysis, Feng Yibo had a vague guess in his heart.

That is……

"Miss Jia, maybe it's a substitute for gagging the old concubine?"

It's strange that this son-in-law can be found, and he really wants to go with himself.

Although he has no son, it seems that he has a successor!

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai immediately showed a gratified smile, and said:
"Although it's just a guess, it must be almost the same."

"It's strange that Xia Bingzhong wants to beat Jia's house!"

Feng Yibo's eyes lit up at this moment, and he thought of something again, and said:
"This is the strategy of killing two birds with one stone. While blocking the Zhen family, it is also wooing the Jia family, trying to dismantle the four princes and eight princes?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, smiled and said:
"That's right, among the four kings and eight princes, the Jia family occupies two seats, and most of the in-laws are people from the present."

Li Shouzhong, Wang Ziteng, Shi Jia Shuanghou.

Plus Lin Ruhai and Jia Yucun, a joint clan.

These relatives of the Jia family are all considered to be Emperor Jingshun's people.

Only Rongning and Ningfu have not made a statement.

Now that the four kings and eight princes are in a group, Emperor Jingshun wants to disintegrate.

The easiest way is to use the Jia Mansion as a breakthrough point.

Unfortunately……

At this moment, both Feng Yibo and Lin Ruhai thought of a question.

Weng and son-in-law couldn't help but look at each other.

For a while, I couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm afraid that no one in Jia's house understands this, so now they are only celebrating the concubine concubine?"
