Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 612 Oppression
This time Jia Zhen did not report first as before, but broke in with people as the patriarch and Zong Zheng.

Even though Rongguo Mansion has a prominent position in the capital, and there is a Duke in the mansion, no one dares to break in without Jia Rui's will.

However, under the constraints of feudal dynasty etiquette, as the patriarch and Zongzheng, Jia Zhen was a special case.

Not only could he confidently break into Rongguo Mansion, but when necessary, he could even expel Jia's mother, the most noble person in the Jia family except Jia Rui, from the Jia family on the spot.

This is the terrible thing about feudal ethics.

Regarding Jia Zhen's intrusion, the two heads of the family, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, were naturally angry, especially Jia Mu. She had no idea that the kitten in front of her would dare to show its claws.

"Jia Zhen, you just broke into our Rongguo Mansion, do you really think that everyone in our Rongguo Mansion is dead?" Mother Jia knocked on the ground with her stick angrily.

It seemed that Mother Jia was really angry and wanted to take action.

In the past, Jia Zhen would have knelt down to plead guilty, but now that Jia Zhen had a backstage behind her, she was no longer afraid of Jia Mu.

"Old lady, it's not me who is rude, it's the people in your house who have gone too far."

When she said this, Jia Zhen looked seriously at Jia Zheng, who was standing with hands hanging down.

"Second Master, the entire capital knows what your young master Jia Baoyu has done. If we don't deal with it, I'm afraid everyone in the world will laugh at our royal family."

Jia Zheng was shocked after hearing this.

"The child did indeed go too far, but I have punished him. Now he has been beaten to the point where he can't get to the ground. Please ask the clan leader to show mercy." Jia Zheng still knows etiquette, so he begged Jia Zhen in a low voice.

Jia Zhen felt so happy when she saw Jia Zheng being condescending to her.

However, as the leader of the clan, he still maintained his serious appearance.

"Second Master, it's not that I don't agree with you, it's just that Baoyu has caused too much trouble this time."

After Jia Zhen said something casually, she ordered her servants to go to the provincial villa to bring Jia Baoyu out.

This can be regarded as poking a hornet's nest. You must know that Rongguo Mansion is stronger than Ningguo Mansion in every aspect. There are naturally many servants than them, so twice as many people immediately stood in front of Jia Zhen's group.

Jia Zhen smiled coldly when she saw this situation.

"Why, the second master wants to take down me, the patriarch?"

Jia Mu smiled coldly, and then said: "Clan Chief, please be patient. We, the Rongguo Mansion, will discuss it and give the Clan Chief an explanation."

Jia Zhen looked at Jia Mu, and then said: "Since the old lady has spoken, I will give you a face, but I will come again tomorrow. I hope the old lady will give me an explanation by then."

After saying that, Jia Zhen turned around and left Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Mu waved the boys back with a gloomy face at this time, and only mother and son were left in the entire Rongxi Hall.

"Do you see anything?"

Jia Zheng lowered his head and said, "The patriarch seems to have done it on purpose this time."

There was helplessness in Mother Jia's eyes, "Jia Zhen doesn't have the courage to come to our Rongguo Mansion to cause trouble."

Hearing Jia Mu's instructions, Jia Zheng also thought of something. He took a breath and said in disbelief: "Could it be that he was asked to do it by the superiors?"

Jia Mu nodded gently.

"What we did last time was very sloppy. It seems that our emperor was unhappy. This is using Jia Zhen to beat our Rongguo Mansion!"

Although Jia Mu said this, she did not regret it at all. Although she did something rash this time, she at least saved the second house.

Saving the second house means saving the entire Rongguo Mansion.

No, in order not to make things worse, the emperor finally released Jia She, and his title was not lowered. It can be said that the board was lifted high and fell gently.

Now that the emperor is angry and acting petty, they can understand it. After all, they have to let the emperor express his anger.

"What do you think we should do?" Jia Mu was testing Jia Zheng's ability.

Jia Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "Judging from the current situation, Baoyu can only be sacrificed."

When Jia's mother heard this, she felt uncomfortable, but intellectually she knew that what Jia Zheng said was correct. As long as Jia Baoyu was handed over, Rongguo Mansion would be safe.

Handing Jia Baoyu over and letting him suffer a little would be considered letting the emperor vent his anger.

In this way, both the clan and the emperor would have an explanation.

Jia Mu sighed, and then said: "We have to do this, but we must make the road smooth before doing it."

Jia Zheng didn't understand what his mother meant, so he could only look at his mother asking for advice.

"Take the jade Ruyi in our house and give it to Jia Zhen tonight."

Jia Zheng knew something was wrong as soon as he heard his mother's words.

The piece of jade my mother mentioned was given to the Rongguo Mansion by the previous emperor.

This thing was previously regarded as a treasure of the town.

"Mom, has things gone too far?"

"Haha, that thing is not that important now. It would be a disaster if it stayed in our Rongguo Mansion. Why not give it to Ningguo Mansion to make things right." When saying this, Jia Mu still sighed, this is really a worldly thing. Impermanence.

Seeing that his mother had made up her mind, Jia Zheng said nothing more.

After a while, a little maid came out holding a sandalwood box and delivered it to Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng held the box and sighed, then left.

After Jia Zheng left, Jia Mu called the maid holding the box, "Send someone to bring a message to the mandarin duck in the palace, and ask her to say a few good words to our Rongguo Mansion in front of the emperor. This can be regarded as her My reward."

In fact, Jia Mu didn't want to beg Yuanyang's head, because she knew that Yuanyang and she were now two different people.

As for her incestuous relationship with Yuanyang, she was prepared to save it for the most dangerous moment.

But now, facing the emperor and Jia Zhen's pressing pressure, she could only use this chess piece, hoping to help Rongguo Mansion tide over the difficulties.

The little maid agreed and withdrew.

That night, a purchasing eunuch passed the news to Yuanyang in Qixiang Palace.

Yuanyang was not named a concubine, she was just a concubine, so she now lives in Qixiang Palace with Qingwen.

Although she was not canonized as a concubine, Yuanyang lived a very good life.

Now she is served by a group of palace maids and eunuchs in her daily life, unlike when she was in Rongguo Mansion, where she was just a servant.

At the same time, her mother-in-law was released from Rongguo Mansion because of her status, and Yuanyang also paid for her parents to buy a three-bedroom house in Beijing.

Therefore, everything is going well for Yuanyang now.

In the evening, just after dinner, Yuanyang got the news. Jia Rui went to Xue Baoqin's Chuxiu Palace, and then ordered people to prepare to rest.

But at this juncture, a little palace maid quietly came to her ear and whispered a few words.
