Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 135
The next day, Wang Xifeng went to Mantou Nunnery on the pretext of checking on the nuns he had purchased.

Jia Rui also found a reason to leave home, and the two hung out for another day.

From this day on, Wang Xifeng refused to sleep with Jia Lian, but she was very smart and did not force herself, but gave Ping'er to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian was very happy to accept this piece of fat that he had been salivating over for a long time.

Moreover, Wang Xifeng was still in the small courtyard, freeing up a single room as Ping'er and Jia Lian's new house.

Jia Lian was very happy and satisfied with Wang Xifeng's move.

Because he spent more time with Wang Xifeng, Jia Rui occasionally remembered his downfall and the persecution of Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.

On Wang Xifeng's side, he has already taken revenge.

But the two bastards Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are still at ease. Jia Rong is the heir to the Ningguo Mansion and can't move for the time being, but Jia Qiang is different. It's time to give herself a break.

On this day, Jia Rui entered the palace as usual to serve the Emperor. When the Emperor was troubled with reviewing the memorials, he took over and continued to review.

This has been the norm during this period of time, and the eunuchs and maids in Longshou Palace are no strangers to it.

However, due to the majesty of the Supreme Emperor, these people did not dare to spread rumors, so only the people in Longshou Palace knew about these things, and no one in the court had heard about them.

Suddenly, Yifeng Shuntian's memorial attracted Jia Rui's attention.

The memorial said that during this period, the sons of the powerful in the capital were domineering and the people complained.The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture was afraid that these dignitaries would cause trouble and delay the marriage visits of the ladies of the palace, so he submitted this memorial.

Jia Rui's eyes lit up when he saw the memorial, and then he approved on the spot, "Order Shuntian Mansion to investigate strictly and deal with it severely."

After finishing writing, Jia Rui signaled to a little eunuch next to him. The little eunuch immediately took it and passed it in front of the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor was currently drinking tea with an idle book and did not even look at the memorial sent to him.

At the beginning, the Supreme Emperor still checked the accuracy of Jia Rui's review of the memorial, but as time went by, Jia Rui made no mistakes, so the Supreme Emperor was too lazy to read it now.

The little eunuch also knew the nature of the Supreme Emperor long ago, seeing that he didn't read it, he folded the memorial and gently placed it on a table next to the Supreme Emperor, indicating that the annotations had been completed.

If nothing else, let's just say that this memorial was sent back to Shuntian Mansion. Yin of Shuntian Mansion was overjoyed immediately after seeing it.

In the past, the Supreme Emperor was very conniving with the powerful, so that the children of the powerful in the capital were somewhat unscrupulous.

Therefore, Shuntian Mansion has long looked down upon these powerful people, but it has never had the right to take them.

Now the Emperor's annotation has given the Shuntian Mansion the power. From today to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, if anyone dares to act recklessly, the Shuntian Mansion has the right to severely punish them.

Shuntian Mansion immediately took action and carried out a major rectification of all Huajie and Liuxiang.

All the powerful children and officials at all levels found in it were taken away and then waited for their families to come and collect them.

It's okay for the children of the rich and powerful, but officials at all levels are out of luck. There are regulations in this dynasty that officials are not allowed to enter Huajie Liuxiang.

This time Shuntian Prefecture dragged them out of Huajie and Liuxiang, which was a huge blow to the career of these officials. If they wanted to erase this black spot, they would have to spend a lot of money.

Therefore, these officials also began to go their own way. Even here in Jia Rui, there were people who came up from time to time to send money.

For these, Jia Rui is completely satisfied.

As for the affairs of these officials, they were all trivial matters. They were just brought along by Jia Rui, so Jia Rui conveniently called the Ministry of Personnel and settled the matter for them.

Since that day, Jia Rui has ordered his men to pay attention to Jia Qiang's whereabouts.

Sure enough, after being quiet at home for a while, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang finally couldn't bear the loneliness and secretly ran out of the house to Huichun Pavilion.

As soon as Jia Rui received the news, he immediately ordered Long Jinwei's men to arrest him.

Originally, this stall belonged to the Shuntian Mansion, but Jia Rui once met the Supreme Emperor and suggested to the Emperor, "The Shuntian Mansion is too busy with things, and there may be some things that cannot be taken care of. It is better to involve Long Jinwei and others, as well." Temporarily suppress the arrogance of those powerful children in the capital?"

The Supreme Emperor now obeyed Jia Rui's words, and the matter was not a big deal, so he agreed.

Since the Emperor agreed, Jia Rui has also participated in several operations to arrest powerful people, but they were all trivial matters. The families of these powerful people handed Jia Rui posts and money, and they were naturally released without incident.

Long Jinwei's men got Jia Rui's order and took action immediately.

Huichun Pavilion was quickly surrounded.

During this period, the business in Huajie Liuxiang was much worse than before, so there were only more than 20 prostitutes in the entire Huichun Pavilion.

These 20 people included Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.

This time Jia Rui did not come forward, but was led by Ma Tao.

Although Ma Tao didn't know how Jia Rong and Jia Qiang offended Jia Rui, he still knew that these two guys were in trouble.

So without saying a word, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were tied up, and then sent directly to Shuntian Mansion.

As for the other people, they were not the main target of this operation, so they were let go after a few words of reprimand.

Besides, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were trembling with fear after being sent to Shuntian Mansion Prison.They didn't know that Jia Rui was targeting them and thought they were unlucky.

Now the two of them were hiding in the corner of the prison, looking warily at the prisoners with green eyes around them, like two helpless girls.

However, no matter how prepared they were, what was supposed to happen happened at night.

After all, how can two young gentlemen with delicate bodies and rich bodies resist four or five strong men who are as strong as wolves and tigers?

This was still a trivial matter, but the next day the government officials started asking Jia Rong and Jia Rui for bribes.

However, since these two people were arrested, their bodies had been searched everywhere to see if there was any money left, so naturally they received special treatment from the prison boss.

Even the scraps of two meals a day were spared for both of them.

The last two people were really hungry and couldn't stand it anymore, so they put down their bodies and went to the other prisoners in the same cell.

Of course, they got what they wanted and got some rancid cornbread, but they also paid a heavy price.

The two of them were missing, and the Ningguo Mansion only found out about it the next day. Because Jia Rong and Jia Qiang often stayed out at night, the people below didn't care.

It wasn't until they found out that the two little masters couldn't find anyone, that they reported it to Jia Zhen.

When Jia Zhen heard that the two people were lost, it was okay. Jia Rong, his son, didn't care much, but Jia Rui wouldn't let anything happen.

So Jia Zhen immediately sent people from the mansion to start searching everywhere.

Finally, the news came to Huichun Pavilion where Jia Rong and Jia Rui often went.

Jia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after knowing the whereabouts of the two people, and immediately ordered someone to take her post to Shuntian Mansion to mention them. Of course, she also gave money to Shuntian Mansion Yin.

Originally, Jia Zhen thought this matter was very easy, but the news that the people below were coming back made Jia Zhen almost vomit blood in anger.

The governor of Shuntian Prefecture never saw the person Jia Zhen sent, let alone received the money.

Jia Zhen had no choice but to spend more money to bribe the jailer and quietly enter the cell.

When he saw Jia Rong and Jia Rui again, he couldn't believe his eyes.

The two noble gentlemen were leaning on the arms of two strong men. The tragedy was so cruel that people dared not look directly at it.

Although Jia Rong and Jia Qiang wanted to struggle desperately when they saw Jia Zhen coming, how could their strength compare to others?

Therefore, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the opponent's strong arms.

How could Jia Zhen bear to see her beloved being rubbed by someone else?He immediately roared loudly and even threatened to report to the emperor.

However, the prison boss in other people's prisons, the jailers don't care about him at all.

During this period, they had also seen officials with higher titles and official positions than Jia Zhen. Which one of them did not give them kind words and persuasion?
In the end, Jia Zhen really had no choice but to come to the old lady again to beg her.

Mother Jia was also tired of this matter, but she still handed out the post because of her face, hoping that Shuntianfu would forgive her.

But this time, Shuntian Mansion seemed to have become determined after eating the weight, and Jiamu didn't give any face.

In the end, Jia Mu also lost her face, then put her hand away and ignored it.

Jia's mother didn't care, but Jia Zhen couldn't, so in the end she had no choice but to play with Jia Rui.

Jia Rui had just returned from Longshou Palace on this day. He first went to take a look at the house built for him by the Ministry of Industry next to Rongguo Mansion.

With the passage of time, coupled with the professionalism of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, most of the foundations of the house have now been erected, and should be able to be repaired years ago.

Jia Rui is very satisfied with the progress of the project.

After walking around in a circle, Jia Rui returned home, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that the old man Jia Dairu was receiving Jia Zhen in the main hall.

This clan leader rarely comes to his home. Even though he is now in a high position, this group leader is still putting on airs.

Why are you here at your home now?
But when Jia Rui thought of the two rumors he heard, he immediately understood that his calculation was effective.

Sure enough, after Jia Rui entered the main hall, Jia Zhen immediately stood up and saluted Jia Rui from a distance.

"Brother Xian is back."

Jia Rui pretended not to know what happened, quickly helped Jia Zhen up, and then sat down again.

"Brother Zhen, what's the matter this time?"

Jia Zhen opened her mouth several times, and he felt embarrassed, but if he didn't rescue the two evildoers, he really couldn't let go.

So Jia Zhen could only say with a blushing face: "Your two nephews were taken away by Shuntian Mansion a few days ago. I would like to ask my virtuous brother to come forward and save them."

Jia Rui casually picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, then asked casually: "What mistake did the two of them make? They actually worked for people from Shuntian Mansion."
