Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 263

After Jia Rui finished his instructions, he stretched and drove Wangcai away, and then he walked slowly to the back.

Speaking of Jia Rui's current power in the capital, although it is not as powerful as the Supreme Emperor, his words are still very powerful.

In less than three days, things came to fruition.

It is said that after Wang Ren came to the capital, he somehow made several bad friends.

Under the praise of these guys, Wang Ren soon didn't know how high the sky was.

After that, he regarded these guys as his close friends and went to the gambling house with these people passing by.

At the beginning, Wang Ren was somewhat lucky and made some money. He thought that he was blessed with good luck and the gambling house's tricks could not catch his eye.

Therefore, he quickly became more and more bettors, but for some reason, he began to slowly go downhill, losing three to four hundred taels of silver in a few days.

You must know that Wang Ren's situation is not very good, otherwise he would not come all the way to join Wang Xifeng.

In the past, even though they lost so much money in gambling, people would not dare to demand too much for Wang Ziteng's sake.

But now Wang Ziteng is already looking for a way out, and no one in the capital can protect him.

Therefore, after losing several hundred taels of silver and owing more than 200 taels of gambling debt, people blocked the door of Wang Ren's house every day and began to demand payment.

It must be said that Wang Ren is not a stickler for rules. Otherwise, he would not have been able to contact many of Wang Ziteng's old men in the short time he came to the capital.

Faced with the pressure of blocking the square, he had no choice but to decide to do whatever he could to block the hole.

What is he going to do?

It turned out that he passed by Shuixian Temple on the way here and accidentally saw Jingchen, and he was astonished. Jingchen's aura of being out of the dust had already fascinated him.

After coming to Beijing, I thought about Jingchen day and night. In the end, I spent some money to find some idle men and went to Shuixian Nunnery to harass him every day, just to make Shuixian Nunnery live peacefully. I couldn't bear it and finally sent Jingchen out obediently.

In the end, within a few days, the people he hired discovered that Jingchen had disappeared.

After that, he was very disappointed, thinking that he would never see this little beauty who made him miss him day and night.

That's all. One day he was wandering on Ningrong Street and accidentally walked into this alley.

While walking through a two-entry courtyard, I accidentally saw a gorgeously dressed beauty explaining something to an old warehouse owner.

When Wang Ren took a look, wasn't this the little beauty he had longed for?It turns out that I moved to this place.

It seems that I still have a fate with the little beauty!

On the same day, he summoned seven or eight idle men again and asked them to harass Jingchen outside the courtyard every day.

He also thought that when Jingchen couldn't bear it anymore, he would step in as a hero to save the beauty, and then he would be able to kiss Fangze.

As a result, the good thing hasn't happened yet, and he owes so much money. Don't think about the love now, just close the hole first.

So he set his sights on Jingchen. He thought that if Jingchen's appearance and temperament were sold to a brothel, he would get at least a few hundred taels of silver. By then, wouldn't his hole be blocked?
He has done this kind of thing once or twice in his hometown, so he is naturally familiar with it.

That night he found seven or eight more people and promised them 30 taels of silver each after they accomplished the task.

These scoundrels on the street usually make a living by being hired by others to do some dirty things, so naturally they won't have trouble with money.

Therefore, in the middle of the night, after they evaded the street patrols and the soldiers from the infantry command yamen, they quietly sneaked outside the courtyard of Jingchen.

The reason why these people are so successful is thanks to Wang Ren.

It can be said that Wang Ren can't do anything serious, but for such sneaky things, he can do it the best.

It turned out that during the time he arrived, Wang Ren had already figured out the specific time when the infantry commander's office was patrolling near Ningrong Street. He had sneaked over at an opening.

After arriving at the door, Wang Ren looked around and found that it was quiet and no one was everywhere. He felt secretly happy in his heart.

This is a godsend for me too.

Bring the little beauty back today. He will be happy for a few days and then sell it. In this way, he will kill two birds with one stone.

Wang Ren still doesn't know that the gangsters he paid to hire have been taken into Shuntian Mansion.

If he knew, even if he borrowed a hundred courages, he would not dare to commit a crime at this juncture.

You know, this is Ningrong Street, where Jia Rui, the richest man in the dynasty, lived.

"Guys, be careful when you go in. Except for the bald beauty inside, you can take everything else, but you must remember to do it quietly and don't let others find out."

After hearing this, several gangsters nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that not only could they earn dozens of taels of silver this time, but they could also feel refreshed and make some extra money.

As soon as Wang Ren winked, a ruffian immediately took out the Flying Hook Claw from his arms and threw it up onto the courtyard wall.

He tugged with his hand and found that the hook was tight. Then he held the rope of the flying hook with one hand, stepped on the wall with his feet, and slowly climbed up.

When he came up, he first looked into the yard and found that there was no sound, and then he came down along the wall. Seeing how smooth it was, other people also rushed up the wall.Finally, even Wang Ren entered the courtyard.

After they came in, they scattered towards the backyard.

Just when they arrived at the second gate and were about to enter the backyard as usual, a series of torches suddenly lit up around them.

Afterwards, the doors to the rooms in the front yard were pushed open, and hundreds of government officials rushed out.

Each of these government officials looked fierce, holding steel knives or chains in their hands, and slowly surrounded the group of people.

Wang Ren and others were so frightened that their hands and feet became weak when they saw this scene.

The ruffians looked at each other, and then they could see the other people's intentions from their partners' eyes.

I saw this man throw away the flying hook and other things in his hand, and then kneel directly on the ground.

When Wang Ren saw it, his nose almost became angry.

When these guys usually brag with themselves, seven of them are dissatisfied and eight of them are angry, as if God is the boss and they are the second child.

Now when they meet the real ones, they all turn into shit.

While Wang Ren was still dazed and complaining about the lack of strength in other fields, he felt a stick on his back and immediately fell to the ground, with a bloody gash on the ground when his nose hit it.

Before he could recover, there were sticks falling on him like raindrops.

Wang Ren was beaten, holding his head and wailing.

When the other gangsters saw this scene, their faces were filled with joy.

It's better that people like me have experience. If we stand up like Wang Ren, he won't be the only one who gets beaten.

Besides, people like me were paid, and Wang Ren was the mastermind. Even if he entered the yamen, he would only be released after a year and a half at most. Why should he suffer for such a small amount of money?
After half a stick of incense, Wang Ren, who was beaten, slowly began to wail less loudly.

"Okay, stop fighting." A leading yamen officer said.

This was the moment that Wang Ren's life was saved. If the fight continued like this, Wang Ren wouldn't be able to hold on to the Yamen and be killed on the spot.

At this time, an old man walked out tremblingly from the concierge. He carefully leaned next to the yamen servant in charge.

"Master Li, has the matter been resolved? These people won't make trouble again in the future, right?"

The squad leader surnamed Li quickly echoed: "Don't worry, old man, we've caught them all this time, and no one will come to cause trouble again in the future."

After saying this, he felt that this was not enough. After all, this matter was greeted by the steward Wangcai of Dingxihou Mansion. If he was so perfunctory, how could he get close to the steward Wangcai in the future?
"Starting from today, I will send two people to guard the door every day. Nothing that will harass your house will happen again."

"That's good, that's good, little old man, I can have some peaceful sleep."

It turns out that during this period, landowners often came to harass him, and the old gatekeeper had not had a peaceful sleep for several days.

Bantou Li spoke a few more words to Lao Cangtou, then waved his hand and said to his subordinates:
"Tie up all these people and let's go back."

After that, these people spread out everywhere.

After everyone left and the lights in the entire yard turned on again, Jia Rui walked out from behind.

Wangcai, who had never shown up, had slipped to Jia Rui's side at some point.

"Uncle, do you think you did a good job today?" Wangcai showed off to Jia Rui with some pride.

"Well done, but don't be proud, let these guys suffer some physical pain next."

"Master, just take a look!"

"Okay, let's all rest!"

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he turned around and walked back. Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

Wang Xifeng's side will soon know about this matter. After all, Wang Xifeng also has some tricks. If her own brother enters the Yamen, she will not ignore it.

Now there is no one in Rongguo Mansion who can come up with anything, and Wang Xifeng will probably beg for help in the end.

If I say no, I feel sorry for Wang Xifeng's friendship. If I say yes, Jia Rui feels unhappy.

After rolling his eyes, Jia Rui gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and simply vented his anger before Wang Xifeng asked for help.

Wangcai saw Jia Rui stopped and didn't know that he had any instructions, so he quickly slipped over.

"Tell the people in the yamen that the man named Wang Ren is really bad. Let him suffer a little."

"Uncle, to what extent?"

You must know that there are light and severe punishments in the yamen. They also use sticks. Some people's leg bones will be shattered as soon as they are hit, and some people's legs will be bruised after being pinched two or three times.
