In fact, Jia Lian, who raised his head, was also shocked by the sight at this moment.
He was a dignified young master of the Rongguo Mansion, but he couldn't be stared at like this. This feeling made him uncomfortable.
Hou Jing and others on the side all had smiles on their faces, and they were talking quietly about something, which made Jia Lian feel even more humiliated.
At this moment, Zhu Jinghong also came to his senses. After putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, he asked: "Are you Jia Lian?"
"Replying to Master Thirteen, the villain is Jia Lian!"
However, before Jia Lian could answer, Hou Jing replied: "Thirteenth Master, a woman just reported that this man was tailing along and had bad intentions!"
"I think that a tutor from the Duke's office would not be able to cultivate such a traitorous intention, so this person is probably a fake!"
"Hou Jing, what do you mean? How have I offended you? You want to plot against me like this in front of the Thirteenth Master!"
Although Rongguo Mansion is in decline now, it is still the residence of a dignified prince. After being bullied to this extent by Hou Jing, Jia Lian has to clear the name of the family no matter how timid he is.
Hou Jing immediately responded: "Thirteenth Master, we have witnesses, how can we say it is slander!"
Jia Lian's matter may be big or small, it all depends on Zhu Jinghong's wishes.
But Hou Jing's rush to speak made Zhu Jinghong suspicious, wondering if there was something going on between the two.
He, Zhu Jinghong, can deal with him at will, but he cannot be used as a gunman, especially if this person is still his subordinate.
Hearing that the two people were still blaming each other, Zhu Jinghong slapped his palm on the table with all his strength, and the "bang" sound shook the hearts of everyone present.
The musicians stopped playing, and several singers were also stunned, not knowing what to do for a while.
Hou Jing quickly knelt on the ground and quietly took a look at Zhu Jinghong's face, realizing that he was already angry.
"After you two became the Duke of the country, now you are like a shrew scolding the streets, and you don't have the free and easy talk in the past..."
"Today I am having fun with all the talented people. What do you mean when you two are at each other's throats like this?"
Although he was training Hou Jia and others, when Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth, everyone around him was trembling with fear, especially He Jiayan, whose hands were trembling.
"What are you thinking? Don't look at me. I don't know. I'm not blind..."
When he said the last three words, Zhu Jinghong slammed the table again, making He Jiayan stand up in fright.
"Brother He, I didn't say anything, sit down!"
"Yes, Thirteenth Master!" He Jiayan's face turned pale and he sat back half-assed.
"Jia Lian, what's going on? Tell the truth!"
Finally getting a chance to defend himself, Jia Lian quickly replied: "Thirteenth Master, I came following the sound of singing and dancing, but unexpectedly stepped into the Beijing camp security area, so I was captured..."
"This is all a misunderstanding. I hope... I hope the Thirteenth Master will investigate clearly!"
With a gloomy expression, Zhu Jinghong looked at Hou Jing and asked, "Is that so?"
Unsure of Zhu Jinghong's intentions, Hou Jing could only reply: "This...I don't know very well, but it was the person captured by the Jinyi Guards!"
"Not sure? Hum... Then you are confused!"
Hou Jing hurriedly borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "I drank two more drinks tonight. I am really confused. I hope Thirteenth Master can forgive me!"
At this moment, Hou Jing couldn't help but wonder whether Zhu Jinghong had noticed her intention to use Zhu Jinghong to punish Jia Lian.
Ever since Master Thirteen fell ill, it seemed that he was no longer a simple and reckless man... Hou Jing felt a little aggrieved.
"It's such a shame to make such a fuss out of a molehill. Get out of here!" Zhu Jinghong scolded him directly.
In fact, the court can also be regarded as a family. The royal family is the master of the family, and the court officials are the servants of the family.
If the master does not show off his power to intimidate, today the subordinates can take advantage of the master, but tomorrow these people will use slaves to oppress the master.
The reason why the prince can't do his job is because he is too easy-going, which makes the people below him dare to prevaricate and shirk.
"yes!"
Hou Jing and the two of them answered again and again and respectfully withdrew. The peaceful atmosphere in the courtyard was restored, but the atmosphere was always a little strange.
Everyone in the garden put aside their innocence and would never believe Zhu Jinghong's "nonsense" and the nonsense that everyone was friends.
Just now, Zhu Jinghong became angry, letting them intuitively feel the power of the royal heir.
Now in their eyes, Zhu Jinghong is a tiger, and they are just vegetarian little white rabbits, but now they sit together.
Tiger smiled warmly, talked cordially with everyone, and was condescending, which unknowingly made them let down their guard.
Now that the tiger is showing off its power, not only the second-generation local officials like them, but also the top nobles like Hou Jing are frightened and trembling.
As for Hou Jing and the other two, when they left Feiyunzhai, the two calm people began to curse on the spot.
"Hou, you are really nothing. I have offended you, and yet you want to harm me like this..."
"Harming you? It was obviously you who harmed me, but in front of the Thirteenth Master, you said with bare teeth that I slandered you. Did I slander you?"
"I harmed you? Then why don't you explain it clearly to Master Thirteen?"
Explain clearly? Zhu Jinghong was angry at that time, but Hou Jing had the courage.
"It's none of your business. I've written down the account today. Let's settle it slowly when we get back to Beijing!" Hou Jing looked unkind.
"Am I afraid of you?" Jia Lian bravely replied, feeling that he was really afraid.
Then he turned around and left. He always felt flustered when he stayed here.
But I heard someone shouting: "Brother Jia Lian, wait a minute, the Thirteenth Master wants to see you, please wait in the tea room!"
The visitor was Lu Yuxin, and what he said made Jia Lian feel bitter. His legs trembled when he thought of Zhu Jinghong.
Hou Jing was also worried. He was afraid that Jia Lian would say bad things about him when summoned alone.
"yes!"
"Brother Jia Lian, please!" Lu Yuxin stepped aside.
After entering the house again, Hou Jing suddenly said: "Brother Jia Lian, Yu Xin... you are called very affectionate!"
Lu Yuxin was about to enter the door, but he could only stop when he heard this, and explained with a smile: "Brother Hou, please stop teasing me, we are just obeying orders!"
He, Lu Yuxin, whose father was just a minister in the local health department, was completely incomparable to these top nobles, so naturally he didn't want to get involved in their fight.
It was not easy for him to recruit the Dragon Guards. His pursuit was to make his family famous and have his wife as his wife. Nothing else mattered.
"That guy named Jia is not a good guy, don't let him get hurt!"
Nodding, Lu Yuxin said solemnly: "I remember!"
Afterwards, Lu Yuxin also came in. He had to put Jia Lian into bed and take him to see Zhu Jinghong later.
Seeing Lu Yuxin coming up behind him, Jia Lian immediately stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what you call me brother?"
The attire of Lu Yuxinlong's imperial guard is definitely not low-born. Now that Jia Lian wants something from him, he will call him "brother."
"I'm here, Lu Yuxin!"
"It turns out to be Brother Lu. I wonder why Thirteenth Master wants to see me?"
"Master Thirteen didn't say anything!"
"How is Master Thirteen feeling?"
"It's really hard to guess!"
Jia Lian saluted solemnly and said, "I'm really a little uneasy. Brother Lu, would you like to go and have a look for me? Jia Lian must remember this great favor today, and he will be rewarded generously in the future!"
He was really frightened, so he took the liberty to ask Lu Yuxin at this moment.
Picking up the tea cup, Jia Lian's hands were shaking, causing the catechu inside to spill out.
"If Master Thirteen is in a happy mood, thank God. If Master Thirteen is still angry, I can be prepared!"
Seeing that Lu Yuxin didn't speak for a long time, Jia Lian begged: "Brother Lu, you won't just die without saving me, will you?"
The Jia family is now in decline, but in the final analysis it is still the palace of the Duke of the country. Now it is just a small favor that Lu Yuxin doesn't object to.
If he refuses at this time, it will arouse Jia Lian's hatred, which will actually be trouble for Lu Yuxin.
"Look at my gestures later!"
Hearing this, Jia Lian bowed deeply once again and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Lu!"
