When Uncle Rong was invited to Xue's courtyard, he saw Aunt Xue sitting next to Xue Pan wiping her tears, looking very distressed. Look at the guy lying on the bed again. His face is swollen and bruised. Although there is no major trauma, he will not be able to see anyone for a short time.
What a pity, he looks so unique and a bit funny.
On the other hand, Baochai had a healthy look on his face when he collapsed. When he saw Brother Rong coming over, he said, "Can we find the imperial doctor? He is so scared that he can't go out for several days."
Brother Rong also didn't know the inside story, so he curiously asked the reason. Baochai couldn't say anything, so he only said: "When he was sent back, he was not conscious. He asked the maid to wipe himself and wash his face, and then he said that he was beaten by Liu Xianglian. I think so. A few people were drinking together and had a falling out, so I got slapped a few times like this."
This is not a light blow.
They also specifically hit people in the face.
Aunt Xue, who felt sorry for the child over there, heard this and hurriedly came over and asked Brother Rong to send someone to lock up Liu Xianglian.
Brother Rong frowned, he could even lock it down. It's just that Xue Pan was already familiar with Liu Xianglian, Baoyu and others, so it would be a big deal to lock someone up just because he fell out over drinking.
Baochai heard this and hurriedly advised: "This is not a big deal, but they are drinking together, and they behave differently after drinking. Anyone who is drunk will be beaten a few more times. Besides, the lawless people in our family are also As everyone knows. Mom is just feeling distressed, and it is easy to vent her anger. When my brother is well enough to go out in three or five days, I will naturally prepare a host and call that person to come and apologize for my brother in front of everyone, either confessing or confessing. Now. Now my mother is telling everyone about it as a big deal, but it turns out that my mother is partial to doting on him and allows him to cause trouble and attract people. Today I accidentally suffered a loss, so my mother mobilized all the people and relied on her relatives to bully ordinary people."
After hearing this, Aunt Xue said: "My son! It was you who thought that I was so angry for a moment."
Baochai smiled and said, "That's good. He's not afraid of his mother, and he doesn't listen to others' advice. Every day seems like a day. After suffering two or three losses, he'll let it go."
Aunt Xue nodded, looked up at Brother Rong, then turned around to look at her son in embarrassment.
Brother Rong also entered the room again and saw Xue Pan lying awake on the kang, shouting: "Go and demolish his house, beat him to death, and start a lawsuit with him!"
Aunt Xue drank her servant and told Xue Pan, "Xiang Lian was drunk for a while and acted wildly. Now that she is sober, she regrets it and ran away out of fear of sin."
From then on, Xue Pan no longer had anything to say. Just looking at Brother Rong coming over, he turned around with a look of shame and turned his face inside, leaving his broad back facing the crowd.
Brother Rong saw this and said to Baochai: "Although it's not a serious injury, I still need the imperial doctor to take a good look at it. Recently, I have met two ministers from the imperial hospital. I have sent someone to invite them. Have a few drinks. As for the side medicine, take some more and touch it, you should feel better in three to five days."
Baochai nodded.
Aunt Xue didn't look back, she could only hear her voice saying: "Brother Lao Rong has made such a trip."
Brother Rong replied nonchalantly: "My concubine said that, which makes me very happy."
Aunt Xue didn't come back either. He just turned his back to Brother Rong and thought of something, a blush of embarrassment quietly appeared on his face.
Embarrassing people cause embarrassing things, and Brother Rong doesn't feel comfortable here either. I wanted to have a good chat with Xue Pan, my distant cousin and brother-in-law, but Xue Pan was hiding and did not dare to meet people face to face, and Aunt Xue was there again.
Brother Rong also quietly said a few warm words to Baochai, and left with the excuse of picking up the imperial doctor. Entering the Rongguo Mansion through the back door of the Xue Family Courtyard, before walking further, I saw a corner of the body of a precious jade cat.
"Brother Rong came here from the Xue family? How is Brother Pan doing?"
Brother Rong asked curiously: "Why is Uncle Bao here?"
Baoyu also smelled of wine. He smiled and replied, "Brother Pan is drinking with us today."
Brother Rong had already expected it the moment he saw Baoyu. Asked: "What's the matter? Drinking wine and suddenly starting a fight?"
In this way, Jia Rong learned the whole story from Baoyu.
It turns out that because Liu Xianglian was planning to leave Beijing recently, Suyu Baoyu invited her to drink and give Liu Xianglian a lively farewell. Unexpectedly, Xue Pan was not notified, but Uncle Pan looked for someone to inquire about the news and went there on his own.
It turned out that the last time they went to the Lai family in the village to provide relief, Liu Xianglian didn't get along with Xue Pan, so Liu Xianglian often avoided Xue Pan. Seeing Xue Pan arrive today, Xianglian looked at Baoyu's face and thought that Xue Pan was Baoyu's aunt and cousin, so she gave him enough face.
Later, Xue Pan came to the banquet, and it was all about drinking. When Liu Erlang's trip to the south was mentioned, Uncle Pan felt uncomfortable. I occasionally played rogue a few times, but it was not a big deal.
However, after everyone drank, Xue Pan became more and more intolerable. I just looked at Xianglian up and down with my eyes. The more I thought about the things in my heart, the happier I became. I drank a pot on the left and a pot on the right. I didn't need anyone to persuade me. I drank and ate and drank. I didn't realize that the wine was already eight. Nine points.
Later, Liu Xianglian sent someone to give Uncle Pan a letter and made an appointment outside the city.
But he didn't expect that when Baoyu and the others saw him, he would already look like after being beaten.
After Brother Rong heard what happened, he could only shake his head helplessly. Then he asked: "So, he deserves it. Where is Liu Xianglian now?"
Baoyu said nervously: "After Xianglian beat Brother Pan, the governor made a big fuss. We didn't want to get tired, so we left the capital early."
"What's the big fuss?" Brother Rong curled his lips.
Is the reputation of these companies really so bad? In the past, Brother Rong only heard other people's impressions of the Jia family from the prince's mansion, but he never thought that the white people would be so thoughtful when facing the prince's mansion.
The Xue family is no longer the Hou family.
"Whether Liu Xianglian leaves or not, let him rest assured that the Xue family will not hold him accountable for beating people. The Jia family will not help him harm him. Ordinary matters do not need to be so serious and nervous." Brother Rong said this.
However, he knew in his heart. The more powerless a person is, the more worries he has when thinking about problems. Liu Xianglian left immediately because of fear. In fact, he understood this feeling.
Although I thought that there was not even a word of apology, I felt a little unhappy in my heart.
It was also because of Xue Baochai that he stood up for the kiss and didn't pay much attention to her.
However, in such a society, no matter how reasonable someone is, they may not be able to achieve justice. Liu Xianglian was afraid, and Jia Rong had never been afraid before.
It's only now that the fear has faded a little.
That day, Brother Rong asked the imperial doctor to present it to Xue Pan. It was indeed not serious. Fortunately, Baoyu had complicated thoughts that day and drank a lot of wine, so he didn't even think about Larong brother going to Yihongyuan.
In this way, Brother Rong can be regarded as saving the tens of millions of little things he has today.
It's only been two days. The harvesting and weighing of the water conservancy field office was completed early, and the compilation and summary of agricultural books also entered the next part. However, on this day, Duan Yu, who had not seen him for a long time, went to Shuili Yingtian Mansion in person to summon Brother Rong into Prince Zhongshun's Mansion.
Brother Rong saw that Prince Zhongshun looked bad today. Part of the bad look was due to illness, and part of it was due to his mood. He said sarcastically: "Thirteenth Master, please relax about everything. Don't be annoyed by the trivial matters outside. The most important thing is to ensure your health."
Prince Zhongshun snorted coldly and asked Duan Yu and others to leave. Even the few internal guards serving around him were sent out.
The doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, leaving no gaps. Among them, only Brother Rong and Prince Zhongshun were present, and no one else. In the dim room, Prince Zhongshun's face became darker and he asked in a low voice: "Do you have anything to do with the gangsters in Ping'an Prefecture?"
"Master Thirteen, where did these words come from?" Brother Rong's heart trembled inexplicably, but the expression on his face did not change at all, as if it was the first time he heard about the Ping An Prefecture rebellious party.
Prince Zhongshun stared at him closely. Although Prince Zhongshun was now very thin, his eyes were still sharp and lively. Like an eagle or a tiger, its energy is frightening.
I could only hear Prince Zhongshun saying: "I have ordered Lin Ruhai, the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to go to Ping'an Prefecture. Today, there is a quick report from Ping'an Prefecture. The Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in Ping'an Prefecture was raided by the rebels, and most of the huge courtyard was burned down." .Even Jiedushi almost died on his concubine’s bed. Is this...did you do it?”
"The Thirteenth Master thinks too highly of this kid. I don't even know a rebellious gang in Ping'an Prefecture, how can I instigate him? Furthermore, if the Jia family really has any more serious evidence and it is held by the Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture, this time it will be The investigating official is a relative of the Jia family, so he only needs to help with some cover. Why go to such great lengths?"
Brother Rong said aggrievedly: "The Thirteenth Master was not in the capital at that time. I learned about the affairs of Ping'an Prefecture and went to the palace to report everything. The Jia family was the one who was bullied. Even if they were guilty, they were blackmailed by the Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture. What happened recently was that Ping'an Province Jiedushi himself set fire to his own yard."
It is very common for people to burn down their own homes.
King Zhongshun didn't believe his nonsense. Instead, his face became darker and darker. He gritted his teeth and said: "You don't know the gangsters. Who gave you the account books of the Salt Class in Yangzhou City? That year at the Taoyuan County Wharf , who helped light the fire for your Jia family’s hundreds of ships and treasures?”
Brother Rong was suddenly startled and looked at Prince Zhongshun with wide eyes. This...Prince Zhongshun actually...
I heard the voice of Prince Zhongshun again.
"Do you really think that this king knows nothing?"
Brother Rong's ears were ringing, and cold sweat was beginning to break out on his head. No, not already. But my back was already wet. The fingers are no longer controlled by the brain nerves, and the ten fingers are extremely stiff, as if they all have menstruation.
He stood there, motionless. I want to kneel down, but I can't.
Can't admit it, absolutely can't admit it.
Such a thought kept ringing in his mind, and he would not admit it even to death, unless Prince Zhongshun came up with actual evidence. Otherwise, you will not admit it even if you die.
As the saying goes: If you confess, you will be lenient, and you will go to jail; if you resist, you will be strict, and you will go home for the New Year.
Brother Rong was having a fierce struggle in his heart, and his nerves were as tight as a fully drawn bowstring.
"You bastard, don't forget it. Sun Heting, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, was recommended by this king. He is currently building a seawall in the south of the Yangtze River and investigating the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. Didn't Sun Heting write to you earlier? He also said that you He has no connection with the Ping An Prefecture rebellious party."
Holy shit. Brother Rong felt relieved. It turned out that it was Sun Heting who told Prince Zhongshun about Jiangnan. He thought it was Prince Zhongshun who knew everything about him and the Holy Cult.
Brother Rong said with a smile: "I forgot about this. After all, I can't hide it from the Thirteenth Master. I couldn't do anything at that time. Those gangsters mistakenly thought that I was their wise king, so they sent the account book. Later. Thirteenth Master also knows about the matter of Tianwu. The Governor of Water Transport at that time was too deceitful. I can’t just sit back and watch the water conservancy projects in Huaiyang come to a halt, right?”
"So you conspired with the rebels?"
"No... it's not a conspiracy, it's the brat... Well. The brat used the name of King Ming to coax the gangsters into helping stage a painful plot." Brother Rong chuckled.
Jia Rong finally understood that there is no wall that never leaks, and there is no absolutely perfect strategy. No matter how smart you are, there will always be times when you miscalculate.
On that day, Brother Rong also felt that this was not a miscalculation on his part. If I only heard it from Sun Heting, it would be far from conspiring with the rebellious party. Thinking again that the Thirteenth Master was questioning me behind closed doors today, I suddenly understood and stopped sweating like that just now.
King Zhongshun's expression also gradually improved. Although he snorted angrily, he calmly asked: "Knowing that they are rebels, why didn't you let Mr. Nuo lead the navy to surround them when you got the account books that day?"
"Uh..." Brother Rong scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "The kid was guarded by them at that time. He didn't have any force, and he was even more timid. He just wanted to take the account book and make a meritorious service. The matter of catching the rebels was left to me. It would be better to give someone as powerful as Mr. Sun Heting."
"It's all nonsense, not a word of truth." King Zhongshun scolded lightly: "These rogue parties are harming the country and causing harm to the people. Catch them every time they see you, and catch them every time you happen to meet them. Since you asked the rogues for help, it's even more important. We must think of silencing them to avoid future troubles.”
"Uh... this..." Brother Rong was speechless, really didn't know what to say.
Then I heard King Zhongshun say: "I am still in Sun Heting because I care about you, and he also appreciates your talents. Otherwise...if this is found out by others, even though you only deal with the chaos, you only use the chaos. But If it reaches other people's mouths, and then through paraphrasing and writing, you are a person who conspired with the chaos. What's more, you will be described as the leader of the chaos."
This is definitely what Prince Zhongshun said from his heart. Brother Rong actually felt a little moved when he heard it.
Master Thirteen is such a good person.
Jia Rong finally understood that there is no wall that never leaks, and there is no absolutely perfect strategy. No matter how smart you are, there will always be times when you miscalculate.
On that day, Brother Rong also felt that this was not a miscalculation on his part. If I only heard it from Sun Heting, it would be far from conspiring with the rebellious party. Thinking again that the Thirteenth Master was questioning me behind closed doors today, I suddenly understood and stopped sweating like that just now.
