Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 498 Funeral
As the main brains of Buddhism dispersed and died, the Buddhist sect, which had some organized resistance, completely turned into a loose sand. Under the joint encirclement and suppression by the Taoist sect and the imperial court, it quickly collapsed collectively.

And the evil obstacle that Jia Rui regarded as a thorn in his side was finally found out by the Intelligence Department and the intelligence network under Lao Li.

It turned out that this guy hid in Guangxi under the arrangement of Buddhism and lived in a remote mountain village.

The reason why I was hiding in Guangxi was because Guangxi was also very chaotic during this period.

There were several battles between the ethnic minorities in Guangxi and the imperial court. Those who were defeated by the imperial army fled and suffered heavy casualties.

However, they could not defeat the imperial army on the frontal battlefield. These people relied on their familiarity with geography and their ability to run in the mountains and forests to start guerrilla warfare.

It is precisely because of this that Guangxi is still in chaos for the time being.

And Buddhism took advantage of this to let this evil obstacle hide in Guangxi, temporarily avoiding the pursuit of the court.

It's a pity that with the cooperation of several major intelligence forces in the imperial court, he was finally found.

After that, this man didn't even have a chance to enter the capital, so he was killed on the spot by people from the Intelligence Department. After the killing, he was still worried and chopped into several pieces.

As for his descendants, let alone his wives, concubines, and children, none of them were spared.

Jia Rui, who was in the capital, was very satisfied after getting the news.

Apart from this person, there are only a few members of the royal family left in this dynasty.

And even these remaining people are in Beijing and are strictly controlled by Jia Rui.

Jia Rui entered Ningguo Mansion again in a happy mood, and met the Xu family's daughter-in-law again in Tianxiang Tower of Ningguo Mansion.

Mrs. Xu has now moved to the small back garden of Ningguo Mansion. This place has become her private world, and even Jia Zhen and her son cannot come in casually.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of the little beauty, Jia Rui sent several eunuchs there. On the surface, they served Xu, but in fact they were also monitoring Jia Zhen and his son, fearing that they would cuckold him.

"Uncle, is there anything you are happy about today?" Mrs. Xu asked curiously while passing tea to Jia Rui.

Although Jia Rui has been here several times during this period, there is a hint of solemnity on his face every time, unlike this time when he is completely relaxed.

"Haha, I feel relieved now that I have let go of the stone in my heart." Jia Rui said nonchalantly while drinking the tea brought by Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu saw that Jia Rui didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she sat in Jia Rui's arms coquettishly and put her arms around Jia Rui's neck. "Uncle, please promise Jia Zhen and Jia Rong. Please do it for them quickly, otherwise they will bother me every day and make me unable to eat or sleep well. "

Jia Rui pinched Xu's little nose with his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, let them do it."

After hearing Jia Rui's words, Mrs. Xu felt relieved.

The reason why Xu pleaded with Jia Rong in front of Jia Rui was because she felt a little ashamed of Jia Rong.

Although she was forced to serve Jia Rui by Jia Rong and his son, she and Jia Rong had been a couple for a while, and Jia Rong was also very good to her during this time, and she still had some feelings for her.

Therefore, Mrs. Xu always thinks of giving Jia Rong some benefits, which can be regarded as a worthy couple.

That night, under Xu's flattery, they spent the whole night playing with dragons and phoenixes.

The next day, Jia Rui got dressed with Xu's help, had another delicious breakfast, and then left Ningguo Mansion.

But before he left Ningrong Street, he met a boy from the house blocking him at the street entrance.

"Master, walk slowly. Master, walk slowly."

When Jia Rui heard the shouting, he stuck his head out and looked outside. He really knew him when he saw him. He was one of the old lady's personal servants.

Seeing this guy, Jia Rui's mood immediately became bad. This guy came to this place to block him. It was obvious that the old man already knew the ridiculous things he had done.

"What's the matter with you coming here?" Jia Rui asked with a hint of luck.

"Uncle, the old lady asked me to ask you to go back and say that we have something to discuss." The boy didn't dare to raise his head.

As soon as Jia Rui saw his guilty look, he knew that this was a lie. The old man was going to ask him to go back and take a beating.

"You bastard, tell me the truth, what's going on? If you dare to tell a lie, not only will you be killed, but your family will also suffer a bad end." Jia Rui began to scare him.

When the boy heard Jia Rui's words, he was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed.

"Sir, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me."

"Why don't you tell the truth quickly?"

"Replying to the uncle, the old master heard about your matter. He was so angry last night that he smashed everything in the study. Today, before dawn, he sent me to stop you."

As expected, the old man wanted to settle a score with himself.

Jia Rui couldn't go back and fight on his own, so he said with a sullen face: "Go back and talk to the old man. Just tell him that I'm busy with official duties these days and can't go home for the time being. He can just let him take care of anything."

After saying that, Jia Rui ignored the boy and ordered his bearer to get up quickly.

Jia Rui has made up his mind not to go back to Ningrong Street for the past two weeks. He will not go back to pay his respects until the old man calms down.

The boy watched Jia Rui's sedan go away with helplessness on his face.

How are you going to explain to the old man when you go back? Thinking of this, he felt that he might not end well if he went back, and a beating would be inevitable.

Besides, Jia Rui hurriedly left Ningrong Street, returned to the palace, and went straight into the Yangxin Hall.

When he got to the Kang in Yangxin Hall, Jia Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

If you want to say who Jia Rui is afraid of in this world, it is only Mr. Jia Dairu.

In front of others, Jia Rui is a tall and arrogant person, but when he meets Mr. Jia Dairu, he is like a mouse in front of a cat.

Just as Jia Rui sat down, took the tea from the palace maid and took a sip, Lao Li appeared next to Jia Rui.

"My lord, Jia Yucun, the Minister of War, has returned to Beijing and is now waiting for your summons at the gate of the palace."

"Oh, Jia Yucun is back?"

Jia Rui was still very satisfied with the ability of Jia Yucun. This time he went to Jiangnan. He not only appeased the obedient gentry and picked out and eliminated those thorns, but also helped the court eradicate the influence of Buddhism in Jiangnan.

Of course, he secretly collected some money, but Jia Rui didn't care at all.

"Then invite him in." Jia Rui put down the teacup in his hand, picked up a memorial from the table, and said while reading.

Lao Li got Jia Rui's words and retreated respectfully.

In no time, Jia Yucun entered the Hall of Cultivation of Heart under the guidance of the eunuch.

When he saw Jia Rui, he immediately kowtowed, "Jia Yucun, my lord, long live, long live, long live."
