Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 548 The Black Sheep
Jia Rui put down the tea cup and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, "What's the matter?"

"Their family is very honest in front of me, and they are overlords outside. Their men actually collaborated in a pawn shop outside. Didn't they forcefully buy a few fans two days ago and beat them half to death? They directly The complaint was brought to the Ministry of Justice, and then these two people came to me to plead for mercy." Xue Baochai glanced at the two people kneeling below in disgust.

Jia Rui frowned. If he just wanted to buy a few fans, Jia Rui could still say something to them because they were his own. But if he really wanted to beat them up, he couldn't let them go. Passed them.

"What are these bastards still doing? Send them directly to the Ministry of Justice."

After receiving Jia Rui's words, Xue Baochai no longer hesitated and waved to the sturdy women below.

When those people came up, they grabbed the two people and dragged them outside.

One of the women couldn't bear it anymore. She knew that if she was dragged out, the whole family would be doomed. So when she was about to go out, she hugged the door frame tightly and shouted inside:

"Master, please let us go. This is not our own business. It was the eldest master of Rongguo Mansion who begged us. We couldn't lose face, so we did it."

Jia Rui was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Drag them both back."

When the woman below saw Jia Rui speaking, she didn't dare to neglect, and immediately dragged the two housekeepers to Jia Rui.

"Tell me what's going on. If you tell a lie, I'll send you all three thousand miles away."

"Uncle, I dare not hide it. The eldest man of Rongguo Mansion took a fancy to a few fans, but the owner of the fan refused to sell them, so he found a younger man. The younger man was regarded as a relative of the eldest man. For his own sake, he secretly ordered someone to force him to buy a fan and beat him up. Unexpectedly, this idiot was so stubborn, so he immediately filed a complaint at the Penal Department Yamen."

After Jia Rui heard this, he stepped forward angrily and kicked the woman who spoke to the ground, followed by a series of violent kicks.

You want to know what kind of energy Jia Rui is? After just a dozen blows, the woman became silent.

The maids in the room, including Xue Baochai, were shocked. They did not expect Jia Rui to lose such a temper.

In fact, they rushed at the wrong time today. It happened that Jia Rui was called by the old lady, which made Jia Rui sulky. When she came back, she encountered this incident again. She deserved to be Jia Rui's punching bag.

Seeing that the person had stopped moving, Jia Rui sat back on the chair with a sullen face, and then said: "Send someone to Rongguo Mansion and tell Jia She to hand over the fan and then pay a hundred taels of silver." Forget it."

Xue Baochai quickly agreed, and then ordered his personal maid Ying'er to handle the matter in person.

Then Jia Rui said very depressedly: "These two families can't stay in the house anymore. Let them go to the Northeast Zhuangzi to farm."

Xue Baochai nodded, and then winked at a few of his confidants, who immediately stepped forward and dragged the two people out.

Then a little maid came forward and began to clean up the pool of blood on the ground.

"What happened to uncle today? Are you so angry?"

Xue Baochai sat on the chair next to Jia Rui and put his hand on Jia Rui's hand.

Jia Rui sighed, and then told Xue Baochai what happened at the old lady's place just now.

Xue Baochai is such a smart person. Naturally, he will not openly disagree with the old lady.

She smiled and said to Jia Rui: "What do I think it is? Since the old lady is willing to be a matchmaker, we can just follow the old lady. Why go against her wishes on such a trivial matter."

Jia Rui raised his head and glanced at Xue Baochai, and then he could only nod. After all, Wu Wang's family is Xue Baochai's roommate, and Xue Baochai doesn't even care. Why is he angry?

As long as Xiren is not married to Wangcai, everything else is easy.

But Wangcai should have a wife, otherwise it would be bad to be stared at all the time, and Wangcai is not young at all. Others at his age would already have children running around.

"Then this matter is settled, but you should also keep an eye on Wangcai's affairs. Pick a handsome and capable maid from our house so that Wangcai can get married as soon as possible."

Xue Baochai nodded, and she remembered this matter.

Not to mention that Jia Rui was sulking at Xue Baochai's place, Ying'er left the backyard with Jia Rui and Xue Baochai's orders. When she came to the door of the yard, she bumped into the old grandma Liu next to the old lady.

It should be said that Mrs. Liu also has some status in Jia Rui's house. After all, she served Jia Rui's family before Jia Rui became rich, so she can speak well in front of the old lady.

Because of this, Ying'er didn't dare to step forward to say Wanfu, "Grandma Liu, where are you going?"

"It's Miss Ying'er! Isn't this the old lady who sent me to Rongguo Mansion to do something? Miss, do you have something to do?"

"That's a coincidence. I'm also going to Rongguo Mansion, so let's go together."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu didn't care, so she and Ying'er left Prince Wu's Mansion and came to the side entrance of Rongguo Mansion next door.

These two people can be regarded as distinguished guests of Rongguo Mansion, so the door opened as soon as they signed up, and then several housekeepers smiled and welcomed them in.

The two of them came to Sister Feng first. After all, they wanted to see the old lady, and that was not something they just wanted to see.

Maybe other people in Rongguo Mansion would give these two a little face, but to Wang Xifeng, their little face was nothing.

The two of them were also smart and naturally did not put on airs in front of Wang Xifeng. After meeting Wang Xifeng, they knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Xifeng respectfully.

Wang Xifeng glanced at the two people, and then I asked casually: "You two are here, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Liu and Ying'er looked at each other, and Mrs. Liu finally spoke first, "Returning to Second Grandma Lian, our old concubine saw that Miss Xiren was a lovely girl and wanted to bring her to be our grandma's companion. The son of Wu Wang’s family will be his wife.”

Wang Xifeng put down the teacup in her hand when she heard this, looked at Mrs. Liu up and down, and then said thoughtfully: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll have someone send you to my wife, and you can go to her for advice."

After saying that, just as Ping'er winked, Ping'er immediately stepped forward to help Liu up and took her out.

After Mrs. Liu went out, Wang Xifeng stepped forward, helped Ying'er up, and then pulled her to sit next to him.

"Why did your princess ask you to come to my place?"

Ying'er took a peek at the people in the room but didn't speak immediately.

Wang Xifeng immediately yawned, and then said to the other maids in Wuzhong: "I'm a little tired, you can go out first."

The maids were well trained by Wang Xifeng. Although they knew that Wang Xifeng's excuse was very lame, they still saluted together and left.
