The chaos in Ping'an Prefecture was calmed down in just a few months.
After all, the imperial court has a crushing advantage over Ping'an Prefecture in terms of strength. Even if the imperial court loses several local wars in a row, the imperial court can afford losses, but Ping'an Prefecture cannot bear even one defeat.
It was just a medium-sized defeat. Ping An Prefecture's so-called elite 100,000 troops were defeated. The rebellion was quickly put down by the imperial army.
Unfortunately, when the imperial army entered the rebels' lair in Ping'an Prefecture, several rebel leaders and their families disappeared, and no trace could be found.
For this reason, the leader of the Xiuyi Guards was furious and scolded him like crazy. Unfortunately, no matter how hard the Xiuyi Guards and the court officials searched for him, there was no result.
The matter in Ping'an Prefecture was resolved quickly, but it also caused a turmoil in the court.
I don’t know whether the rebel leader did it deliberately or if he escaped too hastily. The officers and soldiers found many letters in the rebel lair, which involved many powerful families, and even a certain cabinet minister was not spared.
Among them, there were naturally letters signed by the great master, which caused an uproar in the court.
"My lord, I'm sorry. I heard that all the letters written by the government to Ping'an Prefecture were found by the Xiuyi Guards!"
On this day, Lian Er came to the other courtyard in a hurry and asked the elder with a panic face: "Master, what should we do now?"
"What do you mean?"
The elder rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Just wait and see what happens!"
"Master, you are already in a hurry, why don't you just wait and see what happens?"
Lian Er didn't care about anything else and said anxiously: "I'm afraid I'm going to attack the master now!"
After taking care of the big boss, he would be next. Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart. What appeared in front of his eyes were the miserable fate of the officials who were convicted of confiscating their homes and their families. He felt that his mouth and tongue were dry, and his hands and feet were dry.
Feeling weak and cold.
"What are you afraid of? We won't make a big deal out of this now!"
The elder snorted coldly and said angrily: "Looking at you like this, your courage is scared out of your mind!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said: "If one thing goes wrong, we will be doomed. How can we be stable?"
After saying that, he changed the subject and asked, "What do you mean by what the master said?"
"Hmph, you kid, don't even think about it. Did the Xiuyiwei only find the master's letter?"
The elder sneered and said: "Even if you want to conduct a thorough investigation now, you have to ask his younger brothers and sons if they can escape safely?"
Having said this, his face became solemn and he said coldly: "Besides, the Xiuyi Guards really want to come and ransack the house. You are a dead person. Don't you know how to resist?"
Lian Er's heart trembled and he said in shock: "What the master means is..."
As for the eldest master’s subsequent resistance, he simply pretended not to have heard it, so why should he resist?
Suddenly he felt frightened and rushed. He had forgotten that the eldest master had excellent martial arts skills. If he really wanted to fight at all costs, he might not be able to hold the embroidered clothes guards.
But when it comes to that point, the Jia family and the Rongguo Mansion have no room for improvement, and there is no other option but to flee to the end of the world.
He didn't want to choose this path. It would definitely be difficult to live a fugitive life.
"Okay, okay, you kid, go back and stay well, nothing will happen to you!"
The elder waved his hand and said calmly: "Some things cannot be controlled today!"
Things turned out just as the elder expected. Due to the rebellion in Ping'an Prefecture, the court seemed to be quite turbulent, but in the end it calmed down quietly, and there was no situation that Lian Er was worried about.
Why is this so?
Lian Er had some speculations in his mind, and soon various rumors spread in the palace. Once it was said that his younger brothers were involved, he couldn't take action, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
It was also said that today's sons were involved. Today's sons could not be killed when they were about to become adults. In the end, they had to hold their noses and admit it.
Combining the information revealed by the elder before, Lian Er guessed that there were two possibilities.
In this way, he breathed a long sigh of relief. At least this time, he would not use the incident in Ping'an Province to make trouble. I just don't know if the elder knew what was going on, or was it a blind cat that encountered a dead mouse?
The matter in Ping'an Prefecture here has just been settled, and something happened again in the mansion over there.
While Lian Er was still on duty at the Yamen, a servant from the government came to see him and asked him to go back immediately, saying that the old lady had something urgent to ask of her and she was too anxious to delay.
"I still have official duties to attend to, so I have to wait for the next office to talk about anything else!"
He had been severely cheated by the old lady before, and Lian Er was simmering with anger. How could he be honest and obedient at this time?
"Second Master Lian..."
The servant who came to invite me looked depressed. If the task could not be completed, the old lady would not agree.
"go out!"
Lian Er waved his hand, buried his head in the papers and shouted coldly: "This is the government office. If you don't want to cause trouble, just get out!"
The boy who came to deliver the message was startled, turned pale and hurriedly left the Shuntian Mansion Yamen. He did not dare to go back to be punished, so he had no choice but to hide in a tavern near the Yamen and wait, making up his mind to wait until Second Master Lian came to the Yamen.
.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of some colleagues, all sorts of speculations arose.
Needless to say, Lian Er's unabashed behavior shows that there may be some conflicts between him and the old lady of Rong Mansion that outsiders are unaware of.
They were itching to find out what was going on, but in the end they did not act rashly. Lian Er was now the second-in-command of Shuntian Mansion, and there would be no good consequences if he offended him.
At this time, the Rongguo Mansion was noisy and noisy, and the Rongqing Hall was even more lively and lively.
The old lady stared at Mr. Zheng Er with a gloomy face, and said angrily: "Is there any way you can teach a child like this? You want to beat Baoyu to death!"
Mr. Zheng Er said depressedly: "Old lady, Baoyu must be punished if he does something wrong. Am I not qualified to discipline him?"
My heart was also filled with anger, and I was quite dissatisfied with the old lady's behavior.
"What, the old lady is so annoying now?"
The old lady snorted coldly: "If I don't let you teach Baoyu a lesson, do you still dare to contradict me?"
Mr. Zheng Er: "..."
Mrs. Wang sat down silently, feeling sorry for Baoyu who was beaten and unable to get out of bed, and at the same time she was also quite dissatisfied with the old lady.
Baoyu has been so pampered by the old lady, and now he can't even teach me a lesson, will he be able to do so in the future?
Speaking of which, what happened this time is nothing at all in a wealthy family.
Just like the original work, Baoyu fell in love with an actor from the Zhongshun County Prince's Palace, and then they immediately hooked up and achieved good things.
Although Prince Zhongshun was not as stupid as his father, he did not dote on the actors in the palace that much. He just treated them as servants and received a monthly salary and sang on the stage when necessary.
But Jiang Yuhan was the top performer of the troupe supported by the Prince of Zhongshun County, and suddenly he disappeared. Naturally, the Prince wanted to find out what was going on, and then the matter involved Baoyu.
It's not as exaggerated as the original work. The long history sent by the county prince's government to inquire was quite polite, and there was no obligation for the Rong government to hand over Jiang Yuhan.
After all, Rongguo Mansion is considered to be the top dignitary in the capital. It is extremely powerful and cannot be easily provoked by the Zhongshun County Prince's Mansion, which has suffered heavy losses.
Not to mention, the eldest son of Rong Mansion has an inexplicable connection with Prince Zhongshun, Prince Zhongshun's irresponsible runaway father. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Naturally, we can't do it just because of a small actor.
, so the relationship became tense.
Prince Palace Chief Shi adhered to the will of his boss and did not act arrogantly. He just explained the situation clearly and then walked away. He was not aggressive at all to ask Rong Palace to be honest and trustworthy.
The second master of the government does not have the sincerity and fear in the original work. After all, he can be regarded as a fourth-grade official, and the Rongfu is not someone who can be bullied by a mere prince.
He was just angry that Baoyu did not learn well and actually played the dirty trick of "brother and brother", which was particularly difficult for Mr. Zheng to accept.
Even though he was almost completely disappointed with Baoyu, Baoyu actually played tricks on his husband. This was something he absolutely could not tolerate or accept.
Then, Baoyu was beaten, the kind where he was pressed on a chair and beaten hard.
After hearing the news, the old lady immediately rushed to the rescue. What she saw was Baoyu's buttocks being whipped to pieces, and the pain caused him to pass out. She immediately became furious and scolded Mr. Zheng. As for Baoyu, of course
He was picked up by the old lady and asked a doctor to look at his injuries.
Mr. Zheng Er was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was also very dissatisfied with the old lady's nosy business, but he was a bit foolish and filial. Although he was very unhappy, he could only let the old lady teach him.
But in my heart, I made up my mind to teach Baoyu well.
Baoyu's performance made him quite disappointed. He was beaten but nothing happened, so the boy couldn't wait to tell the news about Jiang Yuhan.
Mr. Zheng Er was anxious and angry, so he beat Baoyu even harder and knocked him unconscious.
This kid behaved so irresponsibly. An actor gave you his life and fortune, but you couldn't even bear a beating, so you just said everything like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. Isn't this too spineless?
If outsiders know that Baoyu has such a personality, outsiders will not be able to think of ways to use it as a breakthrough to attack Rong Mansion. Anyway, Baoyu is so boneless, outsiders can do whatever they want to do.
Just thinking about this situation makes Mr. Zheng feel shuddering.
When that time comes, Baoyu has made a big mistake and harmed the interests of the clan. I am afraid that even if he wants to save him, it will be impossible. The clansmen will not agree to let such a weakling go.
Therefore, he felt that he must educate Baoyu well, otherwise if something unexpected happened in the future, it would be too late for him to regret it even if he wanted to.
The old lady saw what Mr. Zheng was thinking, so naturally she was not very happy.
So she thought of asking Lian Er to go back to the house to help, and urgently sent a boy out to ask Lian Er to go back to the house. Unfortunately, Lian Er didn't answer the question at all, and waited until he left the office before slowly returning to the house. On the way, he already knew what happened.
