From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 88: Daiyu also wants to go to the south of the Yangtze River?
The Jinyi Guards Supervisory Command.

When Ding Baiying followed Jia Wei into the yamen openly, she felt very complicated. Before she could express any emotion, her eyes suddenly fixed!
The three Shen Lian brothers came towards them, and Ding Baiying looked at Ding Xian - no, he is Jin Yichuan now.

Ding Baiying knew that her apprentice Ding Xian was dead, and the one alive now was Jin Yichuan, a member of the Imperial Guard.

At the same time, when Jin Yichuan saw Ding Baiying, the smile on his face froze. Although his expression did not change much, his heart was shaken.

Jin Yichuan's face twitched, and he moved his lips as if he wanted to shout "Master" but no sound came out.

Shen Lian and Lu Jianxing both bowed and said, "Your humble servants pay their respects to the Lord." Only Jin Yichuan was still stunned where he stood, and belatedly performed a half-salute.

Seeing this, Jia Wei put his arm around Ding Baiying's waist and squeezed it, then glanced at Jin Yichuan, "Why, do you know each other?"

When Jin Yichuan saw the intimate actions of the two, his eyes froze...

Shen Lian and Lu Jianxing looked up and saw that Ding Baiying was a woman dressed as a man. They were not surprised, but when they noticed the change in Jin Yichuan's expression, they looked at each other for a while.

"I don't know him." Ding Baiying said lightly.

Jia Wei smiled, unable to deny it. He then took Ding Baiying into the main hall and ordered, "Call all the Jinyiwei on duty above the rank of 100 households."

Shen Lian and the other two heard the order and walked out of the main hall. Jia Wei then looked at Ding Baiying who was standing beside him and said, "Kneel down. I want to interrogate you."

Ding Baiying ignored him.

Jia Wei asked, "You really don't know him?"

"I really don't know him." Ding Baiying said stubbornly.

"It's good that you don't know him!" Jia Wei said, "I suspect Jin Yichuan is secretly in contact with the eunuch party and is in the same group with the defected Lu Wenzhao. I will strip him of his official uniform and throw him into the imperial prison for severe interrogation!"

Ding Baiying glared at Jia Wei speechlessly, and Jia Wei quickly said, "He is also involved in treason. There is no need to try him, just execute him immediately!"

Ding Baiying had no doubt about Jia Wei's shamelessness, and she was at a loss as to what to do.

"Jin Yichuan had learned martial arts from me before, but we haven't been in touch for seven or eight years. What I did under the Ningjing County Prince had nothing to do with him."

Jia Wei raised his eyebrows: "Is this your attitude?"

Ding Baiying took a deep breath, knelt down and kowtowed, with her round buttocks raised.

"Please have mercy, my Lord."

Jia Wei smiled. Now that Lu Wenzhao and the others had been released, it seemed that Jin Yichuan could still be used to control Ding Baiying.

"Get up."

There was a noise outside. Ding Baiying stood up and stood behind Jia Wei, with no expression on her face.

From time to time, the high-ranking Jinyiwei on duty gathered in the main hall.

Last night, everyone in the Jinyiwei received the emperor's edict.

"First-class Earl Jia Wei was promoted to commander-in-chief and in charge of the Jinyiwei..."

Everyone bowed and said, "We pay our respects to you, Lord!"

"Everyone, get up."

Jia Wei didn't waste any time and directly announced the personnel appointments.

"Captain Qiu, the Northern Pacification Envoy, is promoted to the Thousand Household Officer of Jinling Thousand Households and will take up his post today."

Captain Qiu in the hall had a face as pale as liver. The pacification envoy was of the fifth rank, and the captain of a thousand households was of the fifth rank, which was considered a promotion. However, this was clearly a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality, and the envoy was exiled out of the capital.

And as long as Jia Wei is still in the Jinyiwei, he can forget about being transferred back to the capital. Jia Wei is still young, he will be forty soon...

Who told him to go against Jia Wei in the beginning...

Now that Jia Wei was in power, Captain Qiu dared not resist and could only accept the order and leave the hall.

Jia Wei looked at his back with a calm expression.

This matter is not over yet. Now that he has made an enemy of Captain Qiu, he naturally wants to cut off the roots. He is going to Jiangnan soon...

Jia Wei continued, "Century Lu Jianxing was promoted to thousand households; centurion Shen Lian was promoted to deputy thousand households; centurion Zhang Ying was promoted to Northern Pacification Envoy; General Flag Officer Jin Yichuan was promoted to centurion..."

All the speculators who had chosen their side in advance had gained something. The three Shen Lian brothers also participated in the hunt for Wei Ao, and they made efforts, so they naturally made faster progress.

"Pei Lun, captain of the Southern Pacification Division... is he here?"

A Jinyiwei with a big head stepped forward and said, "Here I am."

"Pei Lun was promoted to Southern Pacification Commissioner, in charge of investigating the case of Lu Wenzhao. Previously, the eunuch party was in power, and the Jinyiwei was in a mess. The Southern Pacification Office is responsible for the law and military discipline within the guard. You must clean up the Jinyiwei!"

Pei Lun was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him. He knelt down excitedly and expressed his loyalty.

Jia Wei nodded and said, "Shen Lian, take your men with me to raid the mansion of the eunuch criminals..."

On the other hand, in Rong Mansion, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were serving Lady Jia dinner.

Suddenly, a letter came in from outside, sent by Daiyu's father Lin Ruhai from Lianghuai.

After reading it hurriedly, Grandmother Jia's face turned pale and her eyes turned red.

Seeing that Jia's mother looked unhappy, Feng Jieer hurriedly asked with concern: "Grandma? But what did Uncle Lin bring?"

Grandmother Jia held the letter tightly in her hand and said slowly after a long while:

"Yu'er's father said in the letter that he was sick and asked me to send Yu'er back to take care of him..."

Everyone understood what he said. It was more than a thousand miles from the capital to Yangzhou City, and Daiyu was weak. If it wasn't for a serious illness, how could Lin Ruhai be willing to let his daughter travel so far?

I think Lin Ruhai is already critically ill, or even more seriously ill, but he is still breathing and is just waiting to see Daiyu for the last time...

Lin Ruhai's ancestors were marquises for four generations, and he himself was a third place in the imperial examination. When Duke Rong was still alive, he was very satisfied with this son-in-law.

When Grandmother Jia heard the sad news, she could not help but think of Jia Min who had passed away, and she became overwhelmed with grief:

"My poor Yu'er, her mother just passed away a few years ago, and now her father is also seriously ill..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone standing in the hall covered their faces and wept. Wang Xifeng wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said:
"Don't worry, Grandpa Lin is a blessed man. They have been separated for several years. Maybe they will be so happy after the reunion that their illness will get better."

Everyone tried to comfort her, and after Jia's mother's sadness had subsided, she ordered someone to call Daiyu. Hearing that it was Lin Ruhai's letter, Daiyu hurried over.

When Daiyu heard the bad news, she almost fainted. She was helped by the maids to sit down next to Grandmother Jia. It took her a long time to recover.

Grandmother Jia hugged Daiyu with heartache, and her sisters tried to comfort her, but Daiyu was still crying.

Baoyu, who was sitting in the hall, felt a little sad watching this scene. Thinking of Daiyu having to leave the house for a few months, he felt uncomfortable and full of reluctance.

But the father-daughter relationship was so deep that he had no reason to speak to persuade her. Even if he did, Grandmother Jia would not obey. If Jia Zheng knew about it, he would be beaten! He dared not speak.

Grandmother Jia asked Zijuan to take Daiyu back to her room to rest, and ordered someone to call Jia Lian and ask him to escort Daiyu.

Yangzhou was a long way away, so Jia Lian naturally did not want to take on this hard task. However, Grandmother Jia insisted that he send Daiyu back and bring her back with him.

Jia Lian returned to the courtyard in a huff. Ping'er was preparing travel money for Jia Lian. Wang Xifeng took him aside and gave him some instructions.

No matter how big or small the matter was, he was taken care of.

Jia Lian was forced to do this job by Lady Jia, and he was not happy about it. Seeing Wang Xifeng nagging, he could not help but complain: "The Lin family still has descendants. Do we need our Jia family to interfere in these matters?"

Wang Xifeng sneered, "Do you remember what the ancestor told you?"

"Let me take care of it and then bring Sister Lin back. I remember everything. How could such a grown-up person get lost?"

Wang Xifeng saw that Jia Lian had not thought of the deeper meaning, so she pointed it out directly:
"It's not just Sister Lin. When Aunt Lin got married, how much did our family give as a dowry? And Uncle Lin is an official in the salt administration. How much wealth has he saved over the years?
"Why don't you take these things back and keep them for Sister Lin, and let her take them away when she gets married? Otherwise, they will all be given away to other outsiders in the Lin family."

After hearing this, Jia Lian finally reacted.

Wang Xifeng then instructed, "When you get to Yangzhou City, you must behave yourself. Don't just indulge in pleasure and make people laugh at you."

When Wang Xifeng reminded Jia Lian, he remembered that he was going to the prosperous and wealthy Jiangnan area. The soft Wu dialect there must be much more charming than that of the girls in Beijing.

Jia Lian responded to Wang Xifeng's words and made some promises.

But he was already thinking about how to swindle more money to spend in Yangzhou. The girls there were first-rate and beautiful, and just thinking about it made him greedy...

As it happened that tomorrow was a good date, Daiyu was eager to go home, so Grandmother Jia decided that Daiyu would go south to Yangzhou tomorrow.
