King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 23 What a Xue Family

[The follow-up is very low, everyone, please help me, let's see the latest chapter! 】

"Brother, who is the young master? He won't be troubled by the Xue family, right?"

On the way back to the dining room, Yinglian expressed her worries, she didn't want to harm Zhu Jinghong because of herself.

"Don't worry, no one will trouble you, Young Master!" Yu Hai replied with a smile.

Among the eunuchs around Zhu Jinghong, Yu Hai was the one with the best temper, so in Yinglian's eyes, he was a man who could talk.

"Is the son's family an official?" Yinglian couldn't hold back her curiosity.

With a smile on his face, Yu Hai said, "That's right!"

"What exactly does the young master's family do?" Yinglian became more and more curious.

Not sure what Zhu Jinghong was thinking, so Yu Hai couldn't speak clearly, but stood where he was and pointed to the blue sky above his head.

Looking up, there was nothing but the white clouds, Yinglian felt more and more puzzled.

That is to say, she was abducted. If her parents taught her carefully, she would have been able to see the details and understand where this place is.

Seeing Yu Hai walking to the front, the ignorant Yinglian quickened her pace to follow, she just felt that Zhu Jinghong was getting more and more mysterious.

Yu Hai is Zhu Jinghong's close attendant, when he appeared in the dining room, he received a warmer welcome than Zhang Ping'an.

Of course, everyone's eyes on Yinglian also changed, they all felt that this little beauty was very popular with Zhu Jinghong, and that prosperity and wealth would not be far away in the future.

"Miss Yinglian settled here, you have to take good care of her!"

Yu Hai was pure in heart, after a brief explanation, he declined the warm hospitality from the dining room, and went directly back to the palace.

After he left, everyone gathered together and made an apology to Yinglian Daoxi, telling her not to worry about what happened two days ago.

So many people complimented her so much, it frightened Yinglian so much that she was stunned.

But she knew in her heart that the huge change in everyone's attitudes was all because of Zhu Jinghong.

"It's okay to go away, I think the girl is also tired!"

"It's all gone!"

After being greeted by Wu Dianshan and Yu Zhangshan, the people who approached dispersed one after another, they still had their own things to do.

"Auntie, what is the identity of the young master?"

She still doesn't know Zhu Jinghong's identity until now, Yu Zhangshan and Yu Zhangshan looked at each other, and each of them understood something.

"The son is the son, so don't ask so many questions!"

From Wu Yu's point of view, since Zhu Jinghong didn't want to reveal his identity, why should they ask for trouble.

In fact, Zhu Jinghong didn't deliberately conceal it, but was afraid of scaring Yinglian.

The little girl is in awe of her, and now she has managed to get closer, showing her identity. Isn't all previous efforts wasted.

To be honest, he is surrounded by slaves now, and it is really difficult to find someone to talk to.

When Yinglian was properly placed, Zhu Jinghong had already appeared at the gate of the palace, and there were already more than [-] guards waiting here.

At this moment, he was wearing a felt hat with folded brims, a yellow unicorn-patterned inner robe, and mountain script armor with cuffs closed. His outfit was both noble and capable.

"See Lord Thirteen!"

The guards of the Dragon Guards present were all from the Wu Xun family, each of them was more extraordinary than the other, but at the moment they were always practicing courtesy when facing Zhu Jinghong.

Zhu Jinghong beckoned, Lu Yuxin immediately led a white horse, and Zhu Jinghong jumped onto the horse lightly.

Even if Zhu Jinghong has not fully absorbed his skills, his predecessor is skilled in horse bow and bow, and his horse and bow are far beyond the level of ordinary people.

Pulling the reins, Zhu Jinghong looked around and said, "Everyone, there is a Xue family in Yingtian Mansion who is lawless and intimidating the government. His mother is crazier than me. Today I want to see it..."

Crazier than you?Besides His Majesty the Emperor, who in this world would dare to be mad in front of your Thirteenth Lord?
When the guards were slandering, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It is said that his family has something to do with the Ningrong Second Mansion, if you are afraid, you can stay in the palace, I will not blame it!"

As long as he is a normal person, he won't leave at this time, Zhu Jinghong and the others are afraid of nothing.

"Wherever the thirteenth master is going, I will go wherever the minister waits!" The team leader Hou Jing said heartily.

The captain of the Long Guard is a serious seventh-rank military officer, and this Hou Jing is only 19 years old now, so it can be said that he has won at the starting line of his life.

"Hou Jing..."

"Master Thirteen, please order!" Hou Jing clasped his fists and said.

Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Of course you are not afraid if you are from the Duke of Xiuguo, but not necessarily the others!"

Traveling through the past few days, Zhu Jinghong has not been idle at all, and he has already understood most of Yingtian's Dragon Guard.

Hou Jing's father, Hou Xiaokang, now inherits the title of first-class son, and is one of the few big men in the army.

More than 60 years have passed since the ancestor Zhongxing.

The Hou family is already doing well among them.

At this moment, Lu Yuxin said, "With Lord Thirteen here, it's not us who should be afraid!"

Immediately, someone echoed, "That's right, Lord Thirteen happened to take us to learn a lot!"

"Master Thirteen, let's go!"

Zhu Jinghong's predecessor liked to practice martial arts, and he often practiced with the guards on weekdays. They are very familiar with each other, and they speak more casually.

"Yuxin, you are a local, come and lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Anyway, the crown prince has given permission, so they will comply with the regulations when they go out today, as long as they don't cause too much trouble, nothing will happen.

Lu Yuxin also wanted to see Xue Pan, who disregarded the laws of the country and killed him at will.

Xue's house is not far from the Xinggong, and pedestrians are constantly coming and going at the gate at this moment.

There are servants and maidservants of the Xue family, shopkeepers and deacons of various shops, businessmen who come and go to discuss business, and even officials who come to borrow money.

With such a family business, it's no wonder that the Xue family has become the king of Jinling.

"Xianzun, the steward of Xue's residence said that Uncle Xue is busy with the imperial errand now, so I ask you to wait a little longer!"

Hearing the report from the entourage outside the sedan chair, the official inside the sedan chair snorted coldly: "I'm busy with the emperor's envoy, he's blocking me with this talk!"

"This fool Xue bullied me too much!"

"My official came to visit and he dared to evade seeing him. Do you really think that your family has a deep foundation and can be arrogant?"

The imperial court asked Jinling to raise money and food to suppress the Japanese, and there were holes in the accounts of all prefectures and counties, but Zhu Jinghong ordered a strict investigation, forcing the local officials to rack their brains to find ways to make up for it.

The easiest way to fill the hole is to borrow money, fill it up and spend the hard days of suppressing the Japanese, and then use taxes to repay the loan.

As for the newly added hole, it's the successor's headache.

Throughout Yingtian and even Jinling, the Xue family was the most well-off family, so officials would naturally come to their door.

However, it is difficult for the Xue family to turn around these days. Many officials have been politely rejected in the past two days. Today, Bailai is doomed.

Just as the official was thinking, he heard the people outside shouting in surprise: "My lord, officers and soldiers are coming!"

"How did the officers and soldiers come here? Where did the soldiers come from?"

While asking, the official opened the car curtain, and then he was also surprised.

Just because he recognized these officers and soldiers from the banners and attires to be the elite of the Beijing camp.

"Could it be...the prince is here?"

Seeing the officers and soldiers parked outside Xue's mansion, the county magistrate felt even more strange.

Well done, what is the crown prince doing at Xue's house?This is too condescending.

There were more than a hundred officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp. After they appeared, they began to drive away pedestrians, and the official magistrate was no exception.

In less than a dozen seconds, the outside of Xue's house was deserted, and the soldiers lined up martial law on the left and right.

After a while, dozens of horses came, and Zhu Jinghong was protected in the middle.

After a few breaths, Zhu Jinghong stopped outside the gate of Xue's house, holding the rein and looking at the lintel of Xue's house.

There was no sound at the scene, only Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "There is a lot of snow in a good year, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron!"

"What a Xue family!"
