Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 153
Beijing,

The applause from Ningrong Street spread far away, and the teahouses and wine shops not far away were all people's shadows flickering here to stop and watch.

Not far from the opposite side,

Zuixianlou on the other street also had its windows wide open, and the diners who were drinking and partying were all looking at it.

People upstairs are still discussing in full swing,

"Don't tell me, this capital city has become much more lively since the arrival of the frontier soldiers."

"Who says it's not, look at one thing after another, tsk tsk, it's lively."

"The key is that one is more troublesome than the other."

"I heard that this is caused by the Jia family wanting to rob someone's marriage. Seeing that Mr. Hou is young."

There was a lot of discussion in the restaurant, and the food boxes were all storytellers, discussing whether there will be a fight after a while, it would be nice.

Another place on the second floor of the restaurant,
corner by the window,

白莲教主白水月和右护法应先才，也是稳坐钓鱼台，二人淡定的坐在那喝茶，吃着干果点心，耳朵自然听到食客议论。

Ying first said in a low voice;

"Miss, this matter is getting more and more outrageous. How prestigious this Jia family was back then. We are white, cough. Most of our family was killed by the army led by the Duke of Ningrong Second Mansion. I never thought about it. Once people go, the back is so useless."

Bai Shuiyue watched such a farce-like scene there, and was also a little puzzled;
"It shouldn't be. Although it is said that the father of the tiger and the son of the dog, it is too outrageous. Is it deliberately hiding my clumsiness? I heard that the heirs of the Ningrong Second Mansion all work in Da Nei and Jing Ying. Is there any explanation for this?"

The Right Protector also trembled in his heart, and also secretly said, this Beijing camp is still that Beijing camp, and the Jia family is secretly hiding Chen Cang, so he hurriedly said;
"What the lady said is not unreasonable, and it may also be hidden clumsiness. The Jingying Jiedu envoy, Prince Teng, is the Jia family's in-laws. This is equivalent to the Jingying or Jia's family, and then arranges for the heir to go in. This is thinking about paving the way."

"It's not stupid. In fact, I'm also waiting. The martial arts competition in the capital is all the elites of Dawu's armies. Let's see how much combat strength these elites of Dawu have left. After all, they lost too badly back then."

Speaking of this, Bai Shuiyue felt sad for a while, the incident back then was like hitting a stone with an egg, so Ying Xiancai was also silent.

The porters of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion on Ningrong Street had already seen the situation was wrong and went in to report it.

And Zhang Jinyu was afraid that he would not be able to fight when he came back. After all, the old lady still has some weight. It would be troublesome if she came out in person, so she just waved her hand and shouted to the guard;

"Brothers, exercise your muscles and bones, beat me, beat me hard, and ask them why they took over the property of the Hou Mansion."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

The soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion responded in unison, took out their horsewhips and whipped them fiercely, blood spattered everywhere, and there was a lot of screams. Seeing such a tragic scene, the lively discussion was quieted down for a while.

The capital has never seen such a terrifying scene since the emperor implemented benevolent government.

But the leader of the servant who was beaten also knew that he couldn't say anything. The Jia family would definitely save people, and if he said it, he would die if he went back.

张瑾瑜看到竟然没有一人开口，也是诧异，这些老勋贵治家有一套啊，继续喊道；
“都他娘的没吃饭嘛，还要让本侯来打。”

The soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion heard this. Some soldiers rolled up their sleeves, picked up their whips and whipped them down hard. There were wailing sounds, and some people fainted from the pain, but the soldiers didn't stop beating them hard and fell to the ground. The person woke up in pain, still howling.

Such a cruel scene caused a gleam of fear in the eyes of the people, and they were also a little afraid of the soldiers outside the pass.

The two members of the White Lotus Sect who were watching from the Drunken Immortal Tower gasped when they saw such a scene. They thought that Luo Yunhou was just embarrassing the Jia family, but he didn't expect to kill him. Looking at the servants covered in blood, It's also horrible, and it's really a bit barbaric outside this pass.

"Master, the army here is so barbaric, it hasn't changed at all."

Ying Xiancai also has sympathy in his heart, the biggest enemy is the frontier army, they are too ruthless.

Bai Shuiyue didn't think so, but just asked;
"Did you see that the frontier army has really become a local tyrant now, and those soldiers only listen to their frontier generals. What happened during this period, the frontier army is still so united. This big military will see some in the future."

"That's true, the leader is aware of the details."

Ying first knew what the leader meant. You don't have to listen to what the court says, but you must listen to what the leader says. The consequences, tsk tsk.

宁荣二府门房小厮，吓得连滚带爬的就往府内跑去，撕心裂肺地喊道；

"It's a disaster, it's a disaster, Luo Yunhou has come to the house,"

In Rongqingtang, Wang Xifeng, who had just called Jia Lian, changed his expression when he heard the shouts outside, and said to Jia Mu;

"Old Ancestor, sure enough, you can predict things like a god, and it's all at the door of your house."

屋内的众人都不敢言语，贾琏也是在下面没有开口，这事闹得简直没脸了。

Jia Mu's face changed again and again, holding back her anger, she asked;
"What do you think of the second family?"

The second wife, Mrs. Wang, was taken aback by the question, there is nothing wrong with me here, she said calmly;
"Go back to mother, this is not a matter of Rongguo Mansion, let the men of Dong Mansion go out and solve it."

When You Shi heard this, she wept again, and Jia Mu also reprimanded her;

“老二家的，人心要平一些，都是贾家的人，哪能如此的不问，佛家也讲究普度众生，你的慈悲心呢？”

Mother Jia thought that saying this would excite Mrs. Wang, but the second wife rarely asked back;
“母亲说的对，要有慈悲之心，既然如此何必上门逼人退亲，一而再，佛家是讲究放下屠刀立地成佛，但是心有魔障，最终还是成魔啊。”

Mother Jia was speechless at the rebuttal, but kept hitting the ground heavily with her crutches.

The mandarin duck saw it and hurried over to appease it, and handed over tea to press the fire, but at this time there was another servant screaming outside;
“老太君，快点救救府上的人吧，都快要被洛云侯打死了啊。”

听了此话屋里所有人都是吓得愣住了，不由得把目光看向贾琏，这里面就一个男子，自然是贾琏出头。

贾琏也是被看得愣愣的，无奈的点了点头这才带着小厮出府了，王熙凤不放心贾琏一个人也跟着去了。

张瑾瑜骑在马上也是有些累，让亲卫抢了贾府门房的椅子，搬过来，张瑾瑜大刺刺的坐在上面，等着贾家的人出面。

I still don't believe that people from Jia's family won't come out.

And Mother Jia took the second wife of Youshi and others to Dongfu to visit Jia Zhen. After leaving, in the old courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing also secretly watched from the yard, and kept sending servants. Go out and find out what's going on now.

Mrs. Xing mocked;

"I didn't expect someone to call on the door. Let's see how the people in the second room will deal with it?"

"How can he deal with it? He is just a fifth-rank official. When he gets there, he doesn't know who was beaten."

Jia Amnesty said happily, the husband and wife looked at each other with a smile on their face, picked up the wine and drank it.

贾母等人来到东府，天香楼，就看到大批下人围再那，尤氏上前驱赶，就领着贾母等人进去了。

After entering the house, only Lai Sheng was looking after her. After seeing all the masters, they hurriedly greeted each other. Mother Jia and others naturally ignored them, and went straight to the bed. Seeing Jia Zhen's miserable state, she groaned in pain. Youshi saw her. I also want to step forward to check the injury.

But Jia Zhen didn't have the face to suffer this humiliation, she pushed away Youshi who was still crying,
shouted angrily;
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."

You Shi was pushed to the ground, his eyes were red and he cried out of grievance, when Jia Mu saw this, she immediately scolded;
"It seems to be all right, you can still hang around."

When Jia Zhen heard that Mother Jia was coming, she dared not disobey her, she dared not speak out.

贾母问为何这样对待伱媳妇，贾珍就叹了一口气，说道；
"Old ancestor, then Luo Yunhou said that he can also withdraw from the marriage and also give the family 30 taels of silver."

"Why are there so many things?"

Youshi exclaimed on the ground.

Jia Zhen glared fiercely,
"Ask her, Luo Yunhou told me to write a letter of divorce and divorce her, so that I can become a child for Luo Yunhou."

You Shi immediately lifted up the pretty face of pear blossoms crying with rain, and said with a floating mouth;
"Ask me why. I haven't seen him before, so how can I provoke him? It's not because of your shit that you target me like this."

贾母和二太太自然知道此话是讥讽贾珍的，也只有他自己看不出来，怎么以前没看到贾珍如此废物啊。

贾珍还在那叫喧；
"I don't care, I'm going to the palace to sue him, I want him to lose his title, and I want him to be sent to the frontier."

"All right."

Angrily, Jia Mu slammed her crutches on the ground.

"Jia Zhen still can't recognize the form, she has already hit the mansion, are you still dreaming? You want to take the title, you have the final say?"

Jia Zhen didn't expect that the old lady would be so open to outsiders, and Jia's mother said again;

"It's been so long, why don't you see people from Shuntian Mansion and Bingmasi, and no one from the palace to say something? You should rest at home."

Mother Jia shook her head and went out.

Jia Zhen just sat on the bed in a daze and speechless.

Zhang Jinyu's buttocks sitting outside hurt a little, and no one came out yet. I didn't expect this thing. Seeing the horrible people below, I thought I shouldn't beat them to death, so I beckoned to Duan Hong, and Duan Hong immediately ran over and asked;
"Master Hou, what's the matter?"

Zhang Jinyu said in a low voice;

"Old Duan, don't get beaten to death."

Duan Hong understood what Lord Hou meant,
"Master Hou, don't worry, it's all a horsewhip, and the ones whipped are all flesh wounds. It looks miserable, but it doesn't hurt any muscles or bones. It will take ten and a half months to take golden sore medicine."

Only then did Zhang Jinyu nodded in satisfaction,

"Now use less force, wait for the master to come out, and then use more force."

"It's Lord Hou, look at it."

As soon as Duan Hong ran back, he saw the gate of Rongguo Mansion was wide open. Jia Lian led a group of servants and Wang Xifeng out of the mansion. As soon as Duan Hong saw the man coming out, he signaled his soldiers with his hand. The sergeant immediately stepped up after receiving the instruction. With strength, the wailing sounded again.

Scared by such a scene, Wang Xifeng hurriedly hid beside Jia Lian. Jia Lian also had an ugly face, so many faces disappeared.

Come to Zhang Jinyu and respectfully say;

"Master Hou, please stop, go in and talk slowly if you have something to do."

Zhang Jinyu raised the whip in his hand and said lazily;

"Stop if you say so, but Benhou won't listen, so hit me hard, and let these blind people see who they are offending."

Duan Hong listened and responded loudly in cooperation;
"It's Lord Hou. Did you hear that dog day? He beat him hard and didn't eat."

The sergeant went up directly, and continued to fight, screaming, and the people around were discussing in secret.
