Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 611 Compromise
At this time, Jia Rui in the palace also received a report from Feng Chengcan.

After learning that Mrs. Wang died of illness at the critical moment, Jia Rui's eyes burned with anger.

He didn't expect Jia Mu to be so decisive. When she saw something was wrong, she immediately gave up on Mrs. Wang.

In the feudal dynasty, a period when kinship ties were very serious, the person had died, and Jia Rui, as a relative, could not hold on to this matter, so that the second room of Rongguo Mansion would be clean again.

Jia Rui walked back and forth in the Yangxin Hall for a few times, then thought for a moment and said, "It is a decree that Jia Zhen can be made the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion."

Qin Shun on the side quickly ordered the eunuch woman below to quickly write the edict and Jia Rui read it over and found no mistakes. Then he copied it again, then took the jade seals with him, kept one for files, and sent the other directly to Ningguo. Mansion.

Jia Zhen, who has been living and drinking in the house during this period, did not expect that a pie fell from the sky.

Originally, he was just an idle duke, relying on his second daughter-in-law to fawn over Jia Rui. He thought that this would be the case for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly have the position of Zong Zheng.

Although she was happy, Jia Zhen quickly put on the duke's clothes and hurried into the palace to thank her.

Jia Zhen waited outside the palace, and news came from inside, asking Jia Zhen to meet in Yangxin Hall.

Then Jia Zhen, led by the eunuch, followed the red wall to the outside of the Yangxin Hall.

Here, Jia Zhen waited a moment again before being introduced into the hall again.

After entering, Jia Zhen knelt down on the ground from a distance, then knelt and crawled forward a few steps, and came to kowtow three feet away from Jia Rui.

Jia Rui put down the memorial in his hand and looked at Jia Zhen.

"Get up and talk."

"Long live thanks."

After Jia Zhen got up from the ground, she took a few steps forward cautiously.

"Do you know why you are made the Zongzong of the Zongren Mansion this time?"

"Hui Long Live is to let Wei Chen take good care of the clan members."

Jia Rui ignored Jia Zhen and corrected another memorial. Then he rubbed his sore wrists, got off the bed and stretched.

"You know everything that happened in Rongguo Mansion during this period, right?"

Jia She's matter has been widely spread on Ningrong Street during this period. Jia Zhen naturally knows a thing or two about this matter.

"Wei Chen has heard a little bit about it."

Jia Rui stopped and then said: "According to the reports from the spies, this matter was instigated by the second wife, Mrs. Wang."

Jia Zhen was surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Rongguo Mansion had such an inside story.

"As Zongzheng, you have to take care of this matter. Even if you can't find anything, you must strictly restrain the clan members. I don't want our Jia clan to have internal strife and make the world laugh."

"As for Jia She's matter, that's all for me!"

Jia Rui was very helpless when he said this. Although Jia Rui didn't want to let Jia She go, for the sake of his son, he could only let this guy out temporarily, but he remembered this matter.

After finishing speaking, Jia Rui winked at Qin Shun who was standing aside. Qin Shun immediately understood and exited the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

After Jia Zhen withdrew from Yangxin Hall, he was still a little confused. He was suddenly said by Jia Rui, and he still didn't understand what Jia Rui meant.

As he was walking melancholy out of the palace, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Ning Guo Gong, let's go slowly." Jia Zhen looked back and saw that Qin Shun was chasing after her.

Qin Shun came to Jia Zhen, saluted him with a smile, and then said:
"My lord, I see that your face is full of sorrow. Is there anything that worries you?"

When Jia Zhen saw Qin Shun, she immediately felt as if she had seen a savior. She took his hand and said, "The emperor said something to me just now. I still don't understand the emperor's intention. You are the old man beside the emperor. Give me the details."

In fact, Qin Shun had already received a hint from Jia Rui and came to show Jia Zhen the way.

"Mr. Guo, what's there to guess? It's obvious that the emperor is dissatisfied with Rongguo Mansion, so I want you to keep an eye on it."

After Jia Zhen listened, she seemed to understand something!
"Thank you, Eunuch Qin. With your words, I know what to do."

Then Jia Zhen left the palace angrily and returned to Ningguo Mansion. The first thing he did when he came back was to order people to bring back the ancestral spiritual tablets that had been moved to the original mansion.

Afterwards, he held a sacrifice in Ningguo Mansion with great fanfare.

Of course, this is just a temporary move. Next, the court will build a special sacrificial place to worship the ancestors of the Jia family.

This is different from Fengxian Hall, where the direct ancestors of Jia Rui are enshrined.

Next, Jia Zhen began to exercise Zong Zheng's rights, and his first fire was on Rong Guo Mansion.

This fire burned the treasure of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu.

It turned out that after Jia She was released a few days ago, he was so frightened that he fell seriously ill that day. Fortunately, Wang Xifeng knew many famous doctors, so Jia She's life was temporarily saved.

Originally, Jia She was supposed to visit Jia Mu after he recovered from his illness, but this time Jia She didn't even step through the door of Rongqing Hall.

Jia Mu also seemed to know that Jia She was aggrieved this time, so she was not surprised by Jia She's rudeness. Instead, she gave him many things.

It was during this time that Jia Baoyu made a mistake.

Without Mrs. Wang watching, Jia Baoyu completely let herself go. She was seduced by Jia Lian and went out to have a few drinks before her mother made her filial piety.

Of course, when drinking, you will inevitably get involved with those unscrupulous women.

It wouldn't matter if it was just a member of his own family, but unfortunately that day, the infantry commander's Yamen came to inspect, and Jia Baoyu was blocked.

People knew that he was the son of Jia Zheng and the son of Rongguo Mansion. They didn't dare to do anything to him after that, so they just sent someone to send him back to Rongguo Mansion.

Now the whole Ningrong Street knew about the ridiculous things Jia Baoyu had done.

After Jia Zheng learned about this, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

He didn't expect that his precious son would do such a ridiculous thing during his absence from filial piety.

I used to despise my eldest brother, but now it seems that my son is even worse than others.

Jia Zheng was angry, and Jia Baoyu would naturally not end well. After a beating, Jia Baoyu was almost beaten to death. Fortunately, Jia's mother rushed to the rescue and saved Jia Baoyu's life.

But this was not the end, Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion also knew the news.

In the past, Jia Zhen would not have cared about this kind of thing, but he got a hint from Jia Rui a few days ago and naturally knew what he was going to do.

So while Jia Baoyu was still recovering from his injuries in Yihong Courtyard, Jia Zhen rushed to Rongguo Mansion with about twenty boys under her command.
