Red Mansion: I am Jia Lian

Chapter 292 The character cannot be destroyed

In a teahouse in the capital, a group of rich and powerful children were drinking tea and chatting early in the morning.

"Jia Lian has returned to Beijing!" Someone put down his wine glass heavily, startling everyone.

"No way? I haven't heard of it!"

"I arrived at the Ministry of War just before I was about to get off work yesterday. My brother is the head of the Ministry of War, and I was forced to work overtime for half an hour to complete the formalities for him."

"Alas, the good days are over. Your Majesty, why don't you let this bastard die outside the palace?"

There were sighs, and someone put his hand over his companion's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of what you say. That's a disaster!"

"It's hard to say whether he is a bad luck star or not. Someone saw him coming out of the palace before dark. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, no one else can get this kind of favor."

Everyone was talking in a few words, and the atmosphere became even more depressing. They just couldn't do anything about Jia Lian, so angry!

Bang! There was a wooden gavel bang on the stage, and the storyteller began his speech!
"Continuing from the last chapter, there was a snowstorm in the early New Year..."

Someone in the audience angrily yelled: "Bullshit, how can it snow on New Year's Eve..."

"The storyteller didn't say it was the Little New Year's Eve this year, so it's you, right?"

"Mr. Li, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're from the clan?"

"Mr. Zhou, your father is still at home confined to reflect on his mistakes, and you, as a son, are out looking for your father?"

"You bastard, you're asking for a beating..."

There was a fight in the teahouse. Jian Renda, who was patrolling, heard the news and rushed over with his men, but he did not go in to stop the fight.

"Sir, why don't you do anything about it?" the officer of the Five Cities Army asked curiously.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Just wait until they finish fighting. Surround them and don't let them escape through the back door. If you embarrass Lord Jia, I will break your legs."

Jia Lian got up early in the morning. Wang Xifeng, with her big belly, insisted on circling around Jia Lian, complaining: "Your Majesty is really a jerk. He doesn't even let me spend the New Year at home."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng, who was walking like a crab with her hands on her waist, and knew that he could not afford to offend her.

"You don't understand. Your Majesty is protecting me. If I really stay in the capital for the New Year, it will be too much trouble."

In fact, Wang Xifeng was simply angry and wanted to find someone to scold. Looking around, she couldn't help but scold again: "Two sluts, they don't know how to care for me at all. I don't know how long they were in the night, and they haven't gotten up yet."

Jia Lian had been cooped up outside for a month and still had some money to spare. He had shown off enough power last night, so he naturally spoke up for them: "Madam, you should be more careful. Have you seen the doctor regularly? They are also worried! By the way, why didn't you go to the front to serve today?"

"It's the full moon of the princess born by sister Yuanchun. The old lady and aunt went to the palace to watch the ceremony. Baoyu insisted on going with them last night, but was beaten by his second uncle. He didn't even look at where he was."

Wang Xifeng in this time and space is influenced by Jia Lian and doesn't like Jia Baoyu very much. Speaking of Baoyu, I don't know how many chapters he hasn't appeared in. The protagonist is gone.

Jia Baoyu is a loser. When it comes to playing tricks, Wang Xifeng can beat him by a whole Chang'an Street.

Jia Lian is the type of person who directly ignores Baoyu. With Jia Lian as a benchmark, Baoyu will have to take care of the household chores on a daily basis.

After getting dressed, Jia Lian was about to go out. Wang Xifeng asked curiously, "Isn't there a three-day holiday?"

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Let's just settle some personal grudges, don't bother with it!" Wang Xifeng still insisted on seeing him off to the gate of the courtyard. She watched Jia Lian leave, turned around and saw Ping'er, who had become plump and round overnight. She was so angry that she raised her hand and tapped her forehead fiercely: "You've exhausted me, and we'll be widows together!"

The focus of the capital city recently is still on the selection of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Inspectorate. Many people who think they have a chance are secretly working hard. The key is that this position is too important. If you hold it, you will hold a sharp knife. For this position, all kinds of tricks are used, mostly targeting Lin Ruhai, the Right Censor-in-Chief.

Fair competition? There is no such thing. We are all competing, so of course we have to use any means.

Therefore, the key point is that the purpose of impeaching Lin Ruhai was too obvious. Impeaching Jia Lian and then implicating Lin Ruhai was just a trick.

Yesterday, Jia Lian saw the impeachment memorial against him from Emperor Chenghui's side and wrote down all the names. It's really good to have someone with a good memory.

In the Inspectorate, the new doorman didn't recognize Jia Lian. Seeing him walking in with his head held high, he hurried out to stop him and said, "Stop, what are you doing?"

Before Jia Lian, who was stunned, could say anything, with a bang, the old man who had just returned from fetching water, didn't even bother to take care of the kettle, just threw it aside and rushed forward to cover the new man's mouth.

"Master Jia, this is my nephew. He just arrived and is immature. Please bear with me!"

Jia Lian certainly wouldn't argue with him, but he still patted his chest and said, "I was so scared, I thought I walked into the wrong door."

The old man was almost in tears. Is there any government office in the capital that you cannot enter?

"Please raise your hand..." the old man begged. This was his nephew, and since he had no son, he was counting on his nephew to support him in his old age.

"Let's go!" Jia Lian felt bored when he saw this. Bullying a small doorman gave him no sense of accomplishment.

He walked all the way inside with a gloomy face. People and ghosts avoided him along the way. He walked in the corridor and looked at the doorplates one by one. "Deputy Censor-in-Chief", yes, that was it.

I want to reach out and push the door, but I can’t. I need to have enough momentum and my character cannot collapse!
He raised his foot and kicked hard. With a bang, the door of the office was kicked open. The two officials in the room looked at the door in astonishment.

"I'm looking for trouble with Wang Xingjian, everyone who has nothing to do with it please leave!" There were quite a few people in the room, including two officials and two servants.

Deputy Chief Censor Wang Xingjian slammed the table and stood up: "Jia Lian, what do you want to do?"

Jia Lian twisted his wrist a few times and said, "I am here to take you to the west!" As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over. Wang Xingjian was a fat man and not very flexible. When others dodged, he was unable to dodge.

Jia Lian's Black Tiger Heart-piercing Knife missed the target and hit him on the nose, causing blood to flow from his nose.

"Master Jia, calm down, calm down! Calm down!" The others persuaded him while leaving the office to make it easier for Jia Lian to beat the man.

It's not that he dislikes his colleagues, it's simply that he can't afford to offend Jia Lian. Everyone knows that he is a disaster star, and Wang Xingjian insists on provoking him, so don't blame his colleagues for not helping him.

Inside the house, Jia Lian punched with great force. Wang Xingjian covered his nose and retreated while fighting. His breasts pierced his ears. I hid! I didn't expect that he was such a flexible fat man!

Kicking the crotch!
This time Wang Xingjian failed to dodge. He let out a roar, covered his crotch with his hands, and jumped around in place.

Jia Lian showed no mercy and rushed forward to continue punching and kicking.

"Stop fighting, go and invite Lord Lin!" Someone outside who was watching the fun shouted, fully demonstrating the solidarity and friendship among colleagues in the Inspectorate!

It's a pity that Jia Lian only used his fists and feet today, and didn't use any weapons, which was a pity.

Thanks to Jia Lian's bad reputation, there were more than 20 onlookers, but no one stepped in to stop the fight. They just watched Jia Lian pin Wang Xingjian to the ground, punching him like raindrops.

Beating and scolding at the same time, it is as ugly as it can be.

"I'll hit you with this punch, you little slave!" "I'll hit you with this punch, you're a traitor!"

"I'll hit you with this punch so you can let the traitor go!"

"This punch is like treason!"

"This punch was thrown for your wife. You have the energy to impeach Jia, but not the energy to feed the woman at home..."

Lin Ruhai appeared, and everyone made way for him: "Stop!" After a loud shout, Jia Lian stopped and turned around to see that it was Lin Ruhai. He couldn't help but mutter: "You came so quickly!"

"You bastard, you still have the nerve to quibble. If I had arrived a little later, you would have beaten the people to a pulp." Lin Ruhai cursed angrily. He looked extremely angry, but he was actually very touched in his heart.

Lin Ruhai knew very well that the best way to escape from the current whirlpool of public opinion was to create another, bigger whirlpool. And Jia Lian was creating the whirlpool.

"I'll spare you today!" Jia Lian kicked him three more times before stopping. Lin Ruhai looked helpless as he watched him walk away without stopping him.

"Where are you going?" Lin Ruhai shouted at the back.

"Go to the Dali Temple and turn yourself in!" Jia Lian replied. Lin Ruhai said angrily, "Come here, arrest this fellow and lock him up. I will go to the palace to plead guilty!"

Two clerks held Jia Lian's arms, looking apologetic: "Master Jia, please come with me!"

Jia Lian offered no resistance and was taken away by the two men and locked up in a room.

Good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles!
After the young master returned to Beijing to handle his official duties, the first thing he did was to rush into the Inspectorate and beat up the Deputy Chief Censor Wang Xingjian. The news spread like wildfire, and before Lin Ruhai even saw the emperor, all the departments in the capital knew about it. The interesting thing is that even if people knew about it, they only discussed it in private, and no one spoke loudly.

"This time Wang Xingjian will be in big trouble!"

"You don't understand, do you? Wang Xingjian is so young, and he has only been promoted to Deputy Censor-in-Chief for less than half a year. How could he be promoted to Right Censor-in-Chief? He is just speaking for others and taking the blame for them."

"You are the only one who understands. Tell me, who is behind this and plotting for this position?"

"How would I know that? I'm just making a reasonable guess!"

People everywhere were saying similar things in private, but no one said that Jia Lian was domineering and that justice must be upheld.

In the Inspectorate, in a small dark room, the window was pushed open, and the two clerks were scared out of their wits!

"Master Jia, please spare my life! I really dare not let you go!"

"Nonsense! Am I the kind of person who would make things difficult for a petty official? Hurry up and get me a pot of tea. I'm thirsty." As he spoke, Jia Lian threw out a silver dollar.

It should be said that Jia Lian had a good reputation when it came to treating little people well. He would scold them occasionally, but he would never hit them. If he asked you to do something for him, he would pay you, and he was generous.

Emperor Chenghui has not been idle either. There have been frequent personnel adjustments recently. Not to mention the line of Prince Zhongyi, almost all the officials under the Nine Gates Command have been replaced.

No one mentioned the question of the new Nine Gates Commander, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare to. This was too sensitive at this critical juncture.

All the cabinet ministers were present, and they held a meeting to discuss the selection of the commander of the Nine Gates. Ning Yuanhou took over the Xishan Camp and supplemented it with half of the troops of the Shenji Camp. After confirming this, Emperor Chenghui was in the mood to ask the cabinet ministers: "My dear ministers, do you have any suggestions for the selection of the commander of the Nine Gates?"

This sentence silenced the meeting room, and the cabinet ministers seemed to have taken a shut-up pill and were unable to speak.

It’s not that words like “Qian Gang is the only one who makes decisions” cannot be said, but it’s that words cannot be said without the emperor’s permission.

These smart people have already mastered the rhythm and essence of talking to Emperor Chenghui. Needless to say, the emperor will call them by name.

"Prime Minister Kong, please tell me!" Emperor Chenghui started to speak. Recently, Emperor Chenghui has been using the title "Prime Minister Kong", and Prime Minister Kong Zhao has not been able to sleep well at night. In the past, he always called him "Lord".

Kong Zhao hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: "Your Majesty, I think..." Qiu Shian came in and interrupted Kong Zhao.

Emperor Chenghui glared at him in displeasure, but Qiu Shian didn't care: "Your Majesty, something happened. Jia Lian made a scene in the Inspectorate! Lord Lin is waiting outside for the report!"

What? What? What did you say? Emperor Chenghui's eyes seemed to be saying this. Qiu Shian was also sweating. The weather was not getting warmer. He looked anxious.

Emperor Chenghui had a quick mind and immediately thought of related matters. He couldn't help but look at the faces of the ministers.

The ministers, who had different expressions on their faces, instantly put on a uniform poker face.

Emperor Chenghui sighed and said, "You bastard, you never let me have a peaceful day!" Emperor Chenghui seemed to be scolding him, but in fact he was also scolding him. There was no movement beforehand, and the rhythm was completely messed up.

"Let Lin Ruhai in!" Emperor Chenghui waved his hands weakly, and Qiu Shian went out to summon Lin Ruhai.

Soon Lin Ruhai came in and first paid his respects to the emperor, and then met the ministers.

"Okay, less politeness. Tell me the situation. What happened to Jia Lian? No one was killed, right?" Emperor Chenghui asked directly. He was now afraid that someone would die.

Lin Ruhai felt relieved when he heard the tone. He chose the most understated one among the many lines he had prepared: "Jia Lian and Wang Xingjian had an argument, and the young men were too hot-tempered to control their anger and started fighting. Colleagues were fighting each other, and I have already controlled the person and am waiting for your majesty's judgment."

When Emperor Chenghui heard the statement "colleagues fighting each other", he almost laughed out loud. Well, Lin Ruhai, you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can also tell lies with your eyes open.

Liang Daoyuan jumped out and said, "Lord Lin, you should speak truthfully in front of His Majesty. What do you mean by colleagues fighting each other?"

The fact that Liang Daoyuan could grasp such a wording showed that he was quick-witted and intelligent.

Lin Ruhai spread his hands and said, "Excuse me, Lord Liang, is Jia Lian the Imperial Censor?"

Hmm? Liang Daoyuan didn't react for a moment and retorted: "You are lying with your eyes open. Jia Lian was clearly ordered to lead the troops, so how did he become the censor?"

Without Lin Ruhai's further explanation, Kong Zhao coughed twice and said, "Jia Lian does hold the post of Imperial Censor, and he is also the foreman of the Five Cities Military Department."

Liang Daoyuan…….

Guo Yan, the fence-sitter, spoke up in time: "No one was hurt, was he?" Since it was a fight between colleagues, the nature of the matter was different.

"I came here in a hurry and didn't have time to wait for the result." After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Emperor Chenghui immediately said, "Send that bastard home to reflect on his mistakes. He is not allowed to go out without the emperor's order. If he does it again, he will be punished to serve for a year."

With this sentence, everyone knows that Wang Xingjian's plan is a failure. Emperor Chenghui's protection of his shortcomings is really not concealed at all.

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed and bowed quickly: "I obey your command!"

Emperor Chenghui stopped him and said, "Wait a moment, let Qiu Shian go and announce the order."

The elders were even more shocked. They were still worried, right? Could this favoritism be any more excessive?
