Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 327 Punishment
At this time, in Yihong Courtyard, Jia Baoyu was lying on the bed, teasing and teasing with Xiren.

Qingwen, who was cleaning the house at the side, said with a sneer: "I advise you to study for a few days, otherwise the master will not give you a lecture when he comes back. The family law in the ancestral hall has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Jia Baoyu shivered with fright after hearing this. Xiren patted Jia Baoyu on the shoulder, then turned to Qingwen and said, "Why are you scaring him? Didn't you see that you didn't sleep well last night?"

Qingwen rolled her eyes at Xiren, then took the cloth and left the room, but before leaving, she turned to Xiren and said sarcastically: "Second Grandma Bao, be careful. If the master finds out, This meal will definitely not escape, so don’t let it get you in trouble when the time comes.”

After Qingwen said this, she raised the curtain and went out. She stood in the yard still a little angry.

At this moment, several strong soldiers broke into Yihongyuan, shocking Qingwen in the yard.

Okay, my aunt is angry in the house, and you came just in time to vent her anger on me.

"What idiot dares to break into the garden? You should all be beaten to death."

When the leading soldier saw Qingwen blocking the way, he gave her a cold look. Just like that, Qingwen felt a bloody aura coming towards her face.

Although the little girl said she was strong, she could not withstand the murderous aura she brought from the battlefield.

So he was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

At this time, Yuanyang who was following behind quickly came out and said, "This is the clan leader, Uncle Rui, who sent him to find Baoyu."

Qingwen got up from the ground, lowered her head and whispered, "Second Master Bao is in the house."

The four soldiers did not rush in, but looked at the mandarin ducks following them.

Yuanyang sighed, and then walked towards Baoyu's bedroom.

After coming in, he saw Xiren complaining to Baoyu about Qingwen, saying that she was unruly.

"How long has it been and I'm still saying these words?" Yuanyang said with a bit of hatred for iron.

At this time, Baoyu and Xiren finally saw Yuanyang come in.

Xiren quickly stood up, welcomed Yuanyang to the table, and then shouted to the outside: "Bring me a cup of tea."

"Stop shouting, no one outside dares to come in."

"What's wrong?" Xiren asked a little strangely.

Yuanyang glanced at Jia Baoyu, and then said: "Today, the clan leader, Uncle Rui, went to the private school and lost his temper. All the boys in the clan were beaten ten times. When they finally counted the number of people, they found that there was no second master Bao, so Someone was sent to call."

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu's face turned white, and then he retreated to the back of the bed, "Go back to them and say I'm sick."

"It's too late, Mr. Bao. Uncle Rui's soldiers have already entered Yihongyuan. It seems that they will take you there no matter what." Yuanyang said with a sullen face and a look of regret.

Jia Baoyu was so frightened that he began to tremble. He pleaded: "Good sister, please go and talk to them."

"Second Master Bao, if you ask me, you should go out and go with them obediently. Otherwise, they will break in and use violence. We girls can't stop them." Yuanyang said while suppressing a smile.

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu felt that it made sense, and it was better to be frank and lenient.

Therefore, he could only reluctantly let Xi Ren help him get dressed.

He spent about a stick of incense polishing it, but finally he couldn't polish it anymore and followed Yuanyang into the yard.

When he came to the yard, he saw four burly men standing in the middle, each with a fierce look on his face. They were from two different worlds from the pretty boys playing with him.

Jia Baoyu became more honest this time, walked up to the four of them obediently and asked, "But Brother Rui asked you to come?"

"The Marquis ordered us to take Second Master Bao to a private school." One of the soldiers said coldly.

Jia Baoyu still wanted to make a final struggle, so he smiled and said: "Then you wait a moment, I will go back to the old lady."

After saying that, he wanted to slip away from the soldiers.

But a soldier stretched out his thick arm to block Jia Baoyu, and then said coldly: "Second Master Bao doesn't have to go anywhere. He can just follow us to the private school."

The mandarin ducks who were following Jia Baoyu were afraid that they would have a conflict and end up hurting Jia Baoyu, so they hurriedly followed behind and said: "The old lady already knows about it, and specially ordered me to bring some elder brothers to pick up Baoyu."

Jia Baoyu was completely desperate now, and in the end he could only look at Xiren and Qingwen and others pitifully.

But how dare the two little girls go up and confront the powerful soldiers? In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Jia Baoyu was carried away.

Yuanyang sighed, then left the Grand View Garden and returned to Jia Mu.

Besides, Jia Baoyu was carried out of Rongguo Mansion by several soldiers, and then passed through Ningrong Street and finally arrived at Jia's private school.

After entering, Jia Baoyu heard the whole private school being quiet, which made him even more frightened.

When Jia Baoyu went to school, the private school was full of chaos, and it sounded so atmospheric.

But today it turned into silence, which made Jia Baoyu feel even more stressed.

Just when Jia Baoyu was thinking wildly, the soldiers had already carried him into the study.

When Jia Baoyu came in, he glanced around and saw Jia Rui sitting in the middle where the teacher used to sit, and the private school teacher stood next to Jia Rui.

Looking again, the students below were all standing upright, but from the muscles on their faces that twitched from time to time, it could be seen that they were not feeling well.In addition to the students standing on the seats, there were three or four people standing against the wall. These people lowered their heads and looked up at Jia Baoyu from time to time, with sympathetic smiles on their faces.

Jia Rui turned his head and glanced at Jia Baoyu, then pointed to the corner. The soldiers immediately picked up Jia Baoyu and threw him into the crowd in the corner.

"Now everyone is finally here." Jia Rui said, touching his chin.

The students below looked at Jia Rui with trepidation, really afraid that the patriarch would do something wrong and punish them.

"I won't talk about those who arrived on time. They have already been punished. Let's talk about those of you who haven't gone to school. Why don't you come?" Jia Rui asked, crossing his legs.

One of the students standing in the corner took a bold step forward, and said in a loud voice: "My family has no money, and my father asked me to work part-time, so I didn't come to school."

Jia Rui almost laughed angrily.

This was really possible when Jia Zhen was the clan leader, but since she became the clan leader, she has been giving monthly money to the clan members every month, which is enough for them to live peacefully.

Jia Rui didn't even look at the liar. He turned around and asked the teacher directly, "Which family is this?"

"Back to my lord, I'm from Jia Wei's house on the veranda."

"Send someone to call me here." Jia Ruiping said calmly.

When the boy heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately collapsed to the ground. Then he didn't even bother to get up. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Rui.

"Master Patriarch, please forgive me this time. I will never dare to lie again."

Speaking of which, this boy is still Jia Rui's nephew.

Jia Rui looked at him coldly, and then said: "Not only did he skip class, but he also dared to lie. If he adds crime to crime, he would be taken out and given thirty scorpions."

Following Jia Rui's words, two soldiers rushed in immediately, dragging the boy out.

The young man was also frightened and kept shouting for mercy, but Jia Rui didn't even look at him.

After a while, the young man's screams were heard outside.

After playing for thirty times, the young man was dragged back again.

Now the little guy is honest. Although his butt hurts and he can't stand, he still grits his teeth and persists. This is because he is afraid that Jia Rui will find another reason to beat him.

"Go back to your seat." Jia Rui said still expressionlessly.

After hearing this, the boy felt as if he had been forgiven. Then he tremblingly supported the wall and moved back to his seat step by step.

After dealing with one, Jia Rui looked at the others.

Except for Jia Baoyu, all the other boys were honest and told the truth directly. They either went to play or listen to the opera. One boy was even weirder and went to spy on the neighbor's widow taking a bath.

Jia Rui gritted his teeth in anger.

But these guys told the truth anyway, so Jia Rui didn't make things difficult for them, and each of them was pulled out to play twenty boards.

These little guys didn't dare to complain at all. After they came back, they were secretly glad that they had told the truth. Otherwise, they would have suffered the same consequences as the first one.

After dealing with others, Jia Rui finally looked at Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu was now so frightened that his legs began to tremble.

He also felt strange. Brother Rui wasn't so scary before. What happened today?It's like he has become a different person.

"Jia Baoyu, tell me why you don't go to class."

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu opened his mouth to say some nonsense, but when he thought about it, the first boy in front had received thirty blows, and he immediately lost the courage.

"Brother Rui, you are playing at home." Jia Baoyu said in a low voice.

Jia Rui smiled and then said: "For the sake of telling the truth, I will punish you slightly this time."

Jia Baoyu thought that this time he could get a lighter punishment, and he was very happy in his heart. Jia Rui's next words scared him so much that he almost sat on the ground.

"Pull out and hit thirty boards."

Jia Baoyu opened his mouth and said, "I told the truth, I should have been beaten twenty times."

"Haha, are you the same as them? It doesn't matter who you are. People like you should be punished even more severely. You should be taken out and beaten forty times."

Following Jia Rui's instructions, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled Jia Baoyu out.

The students in the school looked at Jia Baoyu and lowered their heads in fear, not even looking into Jia Rui's eyes.

After a while, the sound of Jia Baoyu crying for his father and mother came from outside.

This time no one interceded for Jia Baoyu, so Jia Baoyu suffered forty blows.

But this time, the soldiers were very measured. Although they were beaten forty times and their buttocks and legs hurt terribly, there were no serious injuries. As long as they went back and applied medicine for a few days, they would be fine.
