The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 24
Modern communication is developed, and communication between people is very convenient. However, in ancient times, people could only communicate through letters or word of mouth. In a deep house like the Jia Mansion, even if a guest came to visit, he had to go through the communication of the servants.

Jia Huan knew how powerful it was, so he got angry and decided to teach the slaves who guarded the gate a lesson. By the way, he wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, so that these unscrupulous things could see that although Jia Huan was a bastard, not everyone could step on his feet. I don’t cause trouble, but I am not afraid of trouble!

The main gate of Rongguo Mansion is usually closed, and it is only opened when offering sacrifices or welcoming important guests. However, there are more than a dozen well-dressed slaves guarding the steps of the gate at all times. Although it is a bit of a waste of food, it is a symbol of dignity as a wealthy family, so it is indispensable.

Among these slaves in charge of guarding the gate, there is a foreman and two deputy foremen. The leader is Wang Lusheng, a relative of Lai Da, the chief executive of the Rongguo Mansion, and it is because of this relationship that he became the foreman.

A dozen or so slaves were sitting on the bench in front of the door chatting, but when they saw Jia Huan walking up with someone, they all subconsciously shut up and stood up to salute, after all, the concubine is also the master.

When Wang Lusheng saw the Tieniu brothers behind Jia Huan, he had a faint feeling that Jia Huan was not kind, but he didn't take it too seriously, he was just a bastard, and recently he offended the second master Bao and made the ancestors unhappy, so he was punished by the kitchen. Hey, such a brat, what is I afraid of him?

Thinking of this in Wang Lusheng's heart, he inevitably felt contemptuous of Jia Huan, and even sat on the bench like a god, and said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Brother Huan, who came back from the street?"

Jia Huan didn't say a word, walked up to him and raised his hand, and a big slap was slapped on him.

Originally, Wang Lusheng was quite tall. If he was standing, Jia Huan's current height might not be able to achieve it. As a result, he pretended to be sitting and didn't move, so he got a solid slap in the face.

Jia Huan is now exercising every day, and the strength in his hands is not weak. With a bang, Wang Lusheng was stunned on the spot, staring at stars, and fell directly from the bench to the ground.

ho...

All the slaves dropped their jaws in shock, Qian Huai and Tie Niu were also dumbfounded, while Tie Hu clapped and applauded, watching the excitement is no big deal.

Wang Lusheng finally came back to his senses at this time, got up from the ground in shame and anger, and cursed: "Little bastard, dare to hit me!"

Jia Huan shouted sharply: "Diao Nu, who are you calling a bastard? Whose father are you?"

Wang Lusheng was burning with anger. He didn't realize that Jia Huan's words had a trap, so he scolded angrily: "I just called you Huan's third son a bastard? A bastard raised by slaves for generations!"

Jia Huan sneered and said: "Very well, this naughty slave calls himself Laozi in front of the young master, and also calls the master a livestock, and the aunt and grandma a slave for several generations, you should take him down and beat him to death, this kind of naughty slave can't be kept!"

Wang Lusheng's complexion changed drastically, and only then did he realize that Jia Huan had deceived him, and he distinguished loudly: "I didn't scold the master, I just scolded you!"

"Under the eyes of everyone, everyone heard it. You dare to quibble, you foolish slave, take it down and beat it hard." Jia Huan shouted sharply, and the other slaves couldn't help but look at each other, but no one did anything.

A glint of complacency flashed in Wang Lusheng's eyes, and he sneered, "Third Master Huan is spreading rumors and messing around here, and I want everyone to listen to you. If you are careful, I will report to the master, and you will be punished if you hurt the third master."

Arrogant, really too arrogant!
Jia Huan's complexion sank, he turned to Tie Hu and said, "Tiger's tiger, do you dare to hit someone? One liang of silver for one punch!"

Tie Hu laughed and said, "Why don't you dare? I can beat the third master until you go bankrupt!" After speaking, he strode forward, grabbed Wang Lusheng's lapel and covered his face with an old punch.

bang...

Hey, this punch was so powerful that Wang Lusheng's face was bloomed on the spot, his nose was crooked, two front teeth fell out, the blood was soaring, and his lips were swollen like two sausages.

bang...

Tiehu punched Wang Lusheng in the stomach again, and the latter was bent like a cooked shrimp in pain, and it took a long time to let out a heart-piercing scream. The other slaves were frightened, and rushed forward to save people.

Jia Huan yelled sharply: "Whoever dares to take a step forward will be guilty of the same crime as this slave!"

As soon as this remark came out, those noble slaves hesitated and did not dare to go forward. At this moment, how dare they have the slightest contempt for Jia Huan, this is a ruthless character, he cannot be provoked!
Tiehu swung his fist and wanted to hit him again, but Tie Niu hurried forward to stop him, lest the boy's fist be too heavy and beat him to death.

Tie Hu threw Wang Lusheng on the ground like a dead dog, stretched out his hand to Jia Huan and said, "Two taels of silver."

Jia Huan threw an ingot of silver over and said with a smile, "This is five taels of silver."

Tiehu took the silver and weighed it, confirmed that it was five taels of silver, and said happily: "I won't take advantage of you, I will punch you three more times." After speaking, he turned around and wanted to lift Wang Lusheng up.

Then Jia Huan waved his hand and said: "Hu Zi, spare him!"

Tie Hu said regretfully: "Okay, it's cheap for this dog slave, but I don't have any money to give to you, Third Master."

"You don't have to look for it, you keep it, and when you want to beat someone up in the future, I'll just look for you!" Jia Huan said lightly.

Tiehu smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, the third master is so brave, I will follow you from now on, and I will be there whenever you want to fight!"

Tie Niu gave Jia Huan a complicated look, hesitant to speak.Jia Huan comforted: "Brother Tieniu, don't worry, I will bear all the consequences, and I will definitely not hurt the tiger."

"Who dares to behave wildly in front of Rongguo Mansion." A majestic voice sounded, but I saw all the servants walking out quickly with the two of them in their arms. It was Lai Da, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, Lin Zhixiao.

As soon as Wang Lusheng saw the backer coming, he immediately rushed forward and cried, "Brother butler, help me, the third master Huan beat the slave for no reason, and even said he was going to kill the slave."

Lai Da's complexion was gloomy, Wang Lusheng was his relative, as the saying goes, you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, Jia Huan beat him like this, obviously he didn't take himself seriously, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Our Jia family is a family of good deeds, the old lady and the wife are the most sympathetic to the old and the poor, and they are also very lenient to the servants. I don't know how this slave Wang Lusheng offended the third master, and the third master made such a heavy hand?"

Tie Hu sneered and said: "Third Master, there are really no rules in your house, can any slave come and question the master?"

Lai Da showed annoyance, and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you act wild in front of the Duke's mansion!"

Jia Huan said with a sneer, "Did the butler dare to show his prestige in front of me on purpose?"

Lai Da lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "I dare not."

Jia Huan pointed at Wang Lusheng and said, "This Diao Nu, a guest came to me today, but he didn't report it. If he is so deceitful, what is it if he is not a Diao Nu? What if someone comes to visit the master? So what?"

Lai Da frowned, and asked, "Wang Lusheng, is there such a thing?"

Wang Lusheng didn't dare to admit it, and argued anxiously: "The slaves have notified, but the third master just happened to go out, so the slaves asked them to wait, otherwise they will come back next time, they insist on waiting."

Tie Hu said angrily: "Fart..."

Jia Huan waved his hand and interrupted: "Since you said you have notified me, do you dare to confront the maid in my room?"

Wang Lusheng faltered for a moment, he didn't send anyone to send a message at all, so he dared to confront him.Lai Da knew what was going on as soon as he saw it, and scolded sharply: "Bastard, you don't have to be the foreman in the future, and you won't kowtow to the third master to admit your mistake!"

Jia Huan sneered and said: "Wait a minute, it's fine for this cunning slave to deceive the superiors and subordinates, but it's not too much to be a slave to bully the master, insult the master and aunt, and it's not too much to kill him directly, but it's too cheap to cut him off as the foreman."

The butler, Lin Zhixiao, who had been silent all this time, frowned and said, "Third Master, how did this bastard bully the master and insult the master?"

Lai Da's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't intervene. He is the big housekeeper, and Lin Zhixiao is the housekeeper, who is in charge of the treasury and account books.

Naturally, Jia Huan was well aware of the competitive relationship between Lai Da and Lin Zhixiao, so when he saw Lin Zhixiao and Lai Datong coming, he was secretly happy. This time Wang Lusheng was dead.

"Qian Huai, what did this dog slave Wang Lusheng just say, tell Butler Lai and Butler Lin!" Jia Huan said indifferently, and deliberately omitted the word "big" to put Lai and Lin side by side.

Qian Huai was articulate, and immediately repeated what Wang Lusheng said just now.Lai Da originally wanted to protect Wang Lusheng, but after listening to it, he knew that there was no hope, and immediately shouted: "Come here, tie up this lawless slave and beat him thirty times."

Lin Zhixiao added: "After the beating, throw them out of the house to fend for themselves. This kind of slave who insults the master cannot be left behind!"

Lai Da's face was slightly stiff, but at this moment he couldn't say anything, so he nodded and gave Lin Zhixiao a cold look. The position of guarding the gate seemed ordinary, but it was actually very important. That's why he arranged for his relative Wang Lusheng to be the foreman, but Lin Zhixiao took advantage of it today and dismissed it with a single word.

Next, the unlucky Wang Lusheng was beaten to pieces, and finally swept out with screams and begging for mercy. For a moment, all the slaves looked at Jia Huan with a trace of fear and caution. This bastard is not easy to mess with!
After Lai Da dealt with Wang Lusheng, he reprimanded the other slaves sharply, then bowed to Jia Huan and said, "Third Master, it's all because of my incompetence in discipline, which led to today's incident. When I turn around, I will confess my guilt to the old lady!"
