Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 510 Delay
Xue Baochai placed the tea cup in his hand heavily on the table, and then said angrily: "Yesterday, the people from the respectful palace went to Rongguo Mansion, hoping that their second son would marry Tanchun from Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Rui also frowned when he heard this. He clapped his hands, and Qin Shun immediately walked in from outside, came to Jia Rui and slapped him with a thousand words, "I have seen the Duke."

"I heard that people who obey the royal palace are going to marry into the Rongguo palace. Do you know about this?"

Qin Shun was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know about this.

Jia Rui immediately knew that Qin Shun did not pay attention to the affairs of Rongguo Mansion. After all, Rongguo Mansion was his kin, and Qin Shun did not invest his intelligence power in Rongguo Mansion.

"Check it out and find out what's going on." Jia Rui said calmly.

Although Jia Rui looked expressionless and didn't seem to blame Qin Shun, Qin Shun was so frightened that cold sweat broke out from behind.

This matter is not a trivial matter. There is no news from their Intelligence Department. The master heard it from his wife. This is a big mistake of the Intelligence Department.

So Qin Shun bowed his body and exited the room, and then no longer stayed in Wu Guofu. He immediately left the house and hurried to the Intelligence Department's station outside the palace.

After entering the yamen, Qin Shun cursed the eunuch on duty with a look of displeasure on his face.

The eunuch on duty didn't even dare to fart, and kept smiling and enduring Qin Shun's spittle.

It wasn't until Qin Shun got tired of scolding that he said angrily: "What's going on with Prince Gongshun and Rongguo Mansion?"

The eunuch on duty was also stunned for a moment, and he didn't pay attention to this matter.

You must know that intelligence is received every day, and there is a huge amount of it. Only important information will be summarized above.

As for someone with a special family background like Rong Guofu, who is still related to Jia Rui, under normal circumstances, it is not used as important information, but is archived as general information.

Therefore, it will not be reported to the superior.

But now that Qin Shun was questioning him, the eunuch hurriedly ran downstairs, and soon the matters related to the respectful palace and the Rongguo palace were dug out of the file, and then rolled and crawled in front of Qin Shun.

After Qin Shun got the information, he read it first, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it is not about overthrowing the imperial court and subverting the rule of the master, everything else is not a big deal.

"Young men, please be careful when doing things, especially those related to the master's family. You must report it as soon as possible. If you delay the master's affairs, how many of you have enough heads to chop off?"

"Yes, yes, you guys are not doing your job well and have caused trouble to our ancestors." The eunuch on duty almost lowered his head to the waist of his trousers.

Qin Shun snorted coldly, "Our family is just a hard worker, wiping the butts of you brats."

After saying that, Qin Shun left the Intelligence Department with the information and hurried back to Wu Guofu.

As an eunuch and Jia Rui's confidant, Qin Shun naturally had access to the backyard behind the second gate.

After that, he successfully arrived at Xue Baochai's yard, but it was closed.

At this time, Qin Shun did not dare to disturb Jia Rui, so he could only stay in a small room next to him all night. He waited at the door just after dawn.

As soon as the door to Xue Baochai's courtyard opened, Qin Shun immediately went in and waited outside Jia Rui's room.

After a while, the maids and palace maids came to help Jia Rui and Xue Baochai wash up.

After the palace maid and the maid went out, Qin Shun dared to enter the room cautiously.

When I came in, I saw that Jia Rui was holding his little son and playing with him locally.

Qin Shun walked carefully to Jia Rui's side, and then said in a low voice: "Master, the matter in Rongguo Mansion has been investigated clearly."

"Oh?" Jia Rui answered casually, then put his son into Xue Baochai's arms and sat in front of the round table.

Qin Shun quickly followed, and then held the information in front of Jia Rui.

Jia Rui took the information and looked through it carefully.

After reading it all, Jia Rui threw the information on the table and said coldly: "King Gongshun is just a favor to Rong Guofu, what does it have to do with Wu Guofu?"

Xue Baochai also came over at this time, holding his son in one hand, and took the information in the other and started reading it.

Jia Rui did not stop Xue Baochai's trespassing.

Xue Baochai never spoke on government affairs, but it didn't matter if Xue Baochai knew about the matters related to Wu Guofu and Rong Guofu.

After reading it, Xue Baochai said softly: "It seems that our old lady is quite friendly, right?"

As she spoke, she peeked at Jia Rui's face.

In fact, Xue Baochai was also begging Jia Mu for mercy. After all, she had lived in Rongguo Mansion for a period of time, and Jia Mu treated her fairly well, which was a bit of kindness.

Jia Rui snorted coldly, "I hate this kind of two-pronged person."

After saying that, he stood up and left Xue Baochai's yard. He didn't even eat, and he seemed very angry.

After Jia Rui left, Xue Baochai sighed. It seems that this matter is not easy to solve!

You said that no matter how you say it, Rong Guofu is a relative of Wu Guofu, and Jia Zheng also helped Jia Rui.

Now we can't do anything to Rongguo Mansion just because of a trivial matter, right?

It was only said that Jia Rui left Wu Guofu and went straight to the palace along Ningrong Street. However, he was stopped before he left Ningrong Street.

The person who stopped his sedan chair was Jia Zheng.

When he saw Jia Zheng, although Jia Rui was angry, he still walked out of the sedan politely, cupped his hands to Jia Zheng who was standing on the roadside, and then asked with a smile:

"Uncle, it's this time, why haven't you gone to the Yamen yet?"

Jia Zheng smiled and replied: "I have something to discuss with you, so I am waiting here specially."

Jia Rui looked at Jia Zheng, and then said with a fake smile on his face: "If the matter is not urgent, then let it go in a day or two. There are many things in the palace these two days, and I can't spare much time at the same time."

Jia Zheng also understood what Jia Rui meant. He was really angry and didn't want to say anything more to their Rongguo Mansion.

However, Jia Zheng cannot allow this situation to continue to develop. If Jia Rui and the others are really offended, Rongguo Mansion will not get any good results.

So he stepped forward and grabbed Jia Rui's sleeves, and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, the people below gave me some jars of old wine, but I haven't been willing to drink it. My nephew just happened to be here, let's go inside and have a taste. "

With that said, he pulled Jia Rui towards Rongguo Mansion.

To say that Jia Zheng is a white-faced scholar, if Jia Rui is not willing, he will not be able to pull Jia Rui in the slightest with his own strength.

However, because Jia Zheng had helped him once, Jia Rui didn't want him to be in too much trouble, so he could only reluctantly follow Jia Zheng into the Rongguo Mansion.

After coming in, he went straight to the outer study, and then the eunuch who followed Jia Rui checked the inside and outside of the outer study, and then Jia Rui followed Jia Zheng in.
