The Founding of the Red Chamber

A teenager's blood is always hot.

At this moment, Lin Jing, although he has all kinds of shortcomings of the son of a nobleman, is undoubtedly still a hot-blooded young man.A hot-blooded young man doesn't want to see a hero die, but he doesn't want to see a hero die in such a politically useless way.

Lin Jing immediately took the guards to the Guan family. When Lin Jing arrived, the Guan family was surrounded by soldiers from the imperial capital. Lin Jing was stopped even if he wanted to go in. Lin Jing was slapped in the face when he went. He said angrily, "How dare you stop me, where is Kong Xiyan, tell him to come out and see me!"

There are not many imperial capitals, but there are many nobles.Lin Jing is wearing this aura, and he looks like a nobleman among the nobles. What's more, at that time, Lin Jing tricked Kong Xiyan into raiding the Rong family's house, and some people recognized Lin Jing. The little boss bowed his hands to Lin Jing and said, "Why is Fourth Master coming here when you have time?"

Lin Jing said coldly, "Come and save your lord's life!"

Although Lin Jing was young, in a place like the imperial capital where evildoers were prepared, it was not new for him to be in charge at the age of eleven or twelve. What's more, the people in the imperial capital knew best how Lin Jing dealt with the Rong family.As soon as he said this, the little boss immediately invited him in.

Kong Xiyan and Lin Jing had friendship in the matter of the Rong family, Lin Jing and the Kong family had always been close, Kong Xiyan also knew that he was from a different background, so he treated Lin Jing differently.Seeing him coming now, he said with a smile, "What kind of wind brought brother Lin here."

Lin Jing said, "If it wasn't for the sake of our friendship, why should I bother with this nosy business, Brother Kong, you can still laugh now, I really admire you." Lin Jing cupped his hands, his face almost full of sarcasm Unabashedly.

Kong Xiyan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although he was in the same generation as Lin Jing, speaking of it, in terms of official position, he was a majestic fourth-rank imperial governor, and in terms of age, his grandson was comparable to Lin Jing.Kong Xiyan was also a little displeased with Lin Jing's words and tone.Lin Jing said coldly, "Who ordered Brother Kong to encircle and wipe out the Guan family! This man's scheming poison will definitely trap you in a place where you will be ransacked and wiped out!"

Lin Jing was young, and the young man's voice was suddenly high-pitched, piercing, and Kong Xiyan's ears went numb, and he said quickly, "What about encirclement and suppression, brother Lin, you misunderstood, because I was afraid that You Xiaoxiao would be bad for Guan Houye's family, so I sent troops here Protect."

Lin Jing sneered, "You can't even fool me with these words. Think about it, Mr. Kong. Who will believe what you say! I'll leave the words here. It is true that Guan Shangshu went to the palace yesterday and didn't come back, but Mr. Kong, what do you think?" Think about who Guan Shangshu is. When my father defeated the Muzhou government, it was Guan Shangshu who went to Muzhou to turn the tide. Last year when the barbarians besieged the city, it was Guan Shangshu who ruled the three armies and kept the barbarians out of the city. The people in the city are safe. At that time, those who lived in this city in peace also had Lord Kong and your family members! The outcome of the battle for the assistant government is a matter for their assistant ministers. You have surrounded the Guanfu at this time. , How will you record what your lord has done! That is, in the future, there will be no loyal people in this court! The Kong family is not just Kong Guogong’s family! You are the Minister of Kongfu, whether it is the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple. Surrounding the Guan family in a hurry, let me ask, Mr. Kong, you are also a scholar of two ranks, even if you can’t leave your name in history, it’s hard to become a first-class villain like Wan Qixie and Luo Ruji!”

"Lin Jing!" Kong Xiyan snapped a few cases and said angrily, "Don't go too far!"

"I'm not going too far, Mr. Kong, you know best in your heart." Lin Jing didn't avoid Kong Xiyan, and said softly, "Who is a fool in this imperial capital? If it is a great achievement, Mr. Kong, think about it, why are there no movements in other yamen? It’s just you, the imperial capital, running here excitedly. Even if other people are slow to hear the news, you must have heard the news now. Up to now, no one has come, does Master Kong know the reason?”

"You..." How did Kong Xiyan know that the Guan family is not the family of foreign relatives like the Rong family? Well, he can't help but do what the Duke of the country told him to do.

Lin Jing took two steps closer, and said to Kong Xiyan, "Because, although the imperial court was canceled today, all the officials have gathered outside the palace gate, please let the empress dowager release General Guan!"

Kong Xiyan's face was pale, and he trembled all over, "This, this is forcing the palace."

"Master Kong, ask yourself, what is the crime of General Guan?" Kong Xiyan was speechless when Lin Jing asked, and Kong Xiyan sighed for a long time, "Brother Lin, I am only following orders."

"By whom?"

"Naturally, the Duke."

"There are four auxiliary ministers, and the Duke of the Kingdom is not the first." Lin Jing was extremely calm, and said to Kong Xiyan, "Although you are following orders, you can discuss matters related to the family in the future. People will only say that it is the imperial capital. Sent troops to surround the Guan mansion. Will the Duke come to take the blame for you, or will you take the blame for the Duke?"

Kong Xiyan had been in the officialdom longer than Lin Jing. Although Lin Jing's words were not pleasing to the ears, they hit Kong Xiyan's deathbed directly, not for anyone else. In the officialdom, it was only heard that his subordinates took the blame for his superiors.Kong Xiyan couldn't stand still, Lin Jing said, "Master Kong, Brother Kong, you are so confused!"

Originally, after coming to the Guan family for so long and not receiving an imperial order to dispose of the Guan family, Kong Xiyan was at a loss.Here again Lin Jing analyzed with him point by point. The key point is that Kong Xiyan himself knows that the Guan family is innocent, and this is a power struggle.But as Lin Jing said, if the Guan family was just an ordinary minister's family, even if it was the chief assistant's family, Kong Xiyan would not have such pressure.The main thing is that the Guan family, General Guan, is a hero who saved the people from suffering.The battle to defend the city last year was still in sight. At that time, Kong Xiyan was also fortunate to see the demeanor of General Guan.At that time, the whole city was won in the siege battle, the barbarians were kept out of the city, and then the barbarians were directly expelled from Muzhou Mansion. Kong Xiyan was a civil servant, and he secretly sighed Guan Tingyu's heroism.To kill such a person, surround and annihilate such a person's mansion, as long as Kong Xiyan's conscience is still alive, he must have psychological pressure.

A look of remorse appeared on Kong Xiyan's face, and he murmured, "I've already done what I have done, so what can I do?"

"What did you do? You killed Guan's family?" Lin Jing was shocked.

"No, no!" Kong Xiyan was startled and waved his hands repeatedly.The status of the Guan family was such that last year he didn't even dare to touch the Rong family, let alone the Guan family.Kong Xiyan said, "But I sent troops to surround Guanhou's mansion, and we will investigate later..."

Lin Jing immediately said, "I have been friends with the Guan family for many years. If Brother Kong can trust me, I am willing to explain a thing or two to Brother Kong."

Kong Xiyan was so grateful that he didn't know what to say, rubbed his hands together and said, "Then, then I will retreat."

Lin Jing said, "I'll go over to greet Mrs. Guan. If Mr. Kong is willing, why not accompany me to have a word with Mrs. Guan."

"What can I say?" He frightened people a lot.

Lin Jing said, "It's just a misunderstanding, it's good to talk about it. It's the Duke of the country. I guess he was also deceived by the villain. He was used for a while and misunderstood the two adults, Guan and Tang."

"Isn't it?" Kong Xiyan said, "It's exactly what you said, Brother Lin."

As the two talked, Lin Jing asked Mrs. Guan first. Mrs. Guan knew something, and she sent out her youngest son and eldest grandson yesterday, and she was already prepared for the unexpected.At this time, when she heard that the Lin family was coming, Mrs. Guan hurriedly asked Lin Jing to come over. Lin Jing personally explained what happened to Mr. Kong Fuyin, only saying that it was a misunderstanding. , Naturally, he expressed his relief.

The Confucian Governor was so grateful that he led his troops out of the Guan family, and Lin Jing stayed behind. Mrs. Guan's greatest concern was nothing more than her husband's life.Lin Jing said, "The matter in the palace must have something to do with the Kong family. However, in my opinion, the palace has not yet made up its mind. This matter probably has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager. Otherwise, as early as the moment of attack, There should be a conclusion.”

Mrs. Guan said, "But right now, how can I rescue the master?"

Lin Jing was also in trouble, and Mrs. Guan was concerned about her children and grandchildren, so she asked in a low voice whether her younger son and eldest grandson were okay. Mrs. Guan's question, Lin Jing really came from her heart, and thought of a not too bad idea, quietly Talk to Mrs. Guan.Mrs. Guan frowned, "How can the Kong family believe in marriage with the Kong family at this time?"

"Believe it or not, it's better for my aunt to go to the palace and talk to the empress dowager. I think the empress dowager is not willing to attack the general. The general has a chance. But the Kong family has already settled the matter and asked the general to come out." The Kong family themselves are as frightened as birds. The Kong family, after all, is the queen mother's natal family. The empress dowager's embarrassment now is that she knows that the general is a pillar of the court, and she can't bear to kill him, but her natal family is also her help, and she can't bear to do it either. At this time, there must be a buffer. First rescue the general."

Mrs. Guan said, "It can be slowed down for a while, but it can't be slowed down for a lifetime."

Lin Jing didn't have a better idea, "Let's focus on this moment first."

Mrs. Guan said, "Why don't you come into the palace with me, Ah Jing. To tell you the truth, I really don't know where to start. Besides, Ah Jing, you have lived in the palace before, and you have been with the ladies and gentlemen. I'm familiar with it, please help me talk to the Empress Dowager."

Lin Jing said, "I'm a foreigner, how can I enter the palace?"

Mrs. Guan looked embarrassed, but she was eager to save her husband, so she couldn't care less.Mrs. Guan said, "Ah Jing, if you don't make it difficult, you are still young, so you can pretend to be my maid." Mrs. Guan is worthy of being the first wife of General Guan, and she has some ideas.

Lin Jing was speechless for a moment.

Lin Jing convinced himself a thousand times with the reason "I am here to save a great hero", and then agreed to Mrs. Guan's idea.Mrs. Guan was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so she asked the eldest daughter-in-law to clean up for Lin Jing.

Not to mention Lin Jing, he is only twelve, his masculinity has not yet developed, he doesn't even have an Adam's apple in his neck, and he is the top beauty in the Lin family.Grandma Guan couldn't dress Lin Jing up too beautifully, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.Mrs. Guan took Lin Jing out, and said to her daughter-in-law, "Immediately ask the guards to close the door tightly. No matter who comes, don't open your mouth. Unless it's an imperial decree, you have to verify the imperial decree before you can speak!"

The Guan family is a general family, and Grandma Guan is also the daughter of a general family. Hearing this, she said, "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of our family!"

Mrs. Guan got up and took Lin Jing, who was as beautiful as a flower, into the palace.
