Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

When the emperor was angry, he buried a million corpses.

The words written in the history books are not empty words.When the emperor really made up his mind to do something and resorted to thunderous means, it was simply unbearable for most people.

Bo Yang didn't know exactly what was happening in the middle. ——Although he also has a name in Shangyu's spare office, but because he is not specifically responsible for this matter and has the relationship with the Xue family, he needs to avoid suspicion, so it is inconvenient for Bo Yang, and he doesn't really want to inquire about the details Progress.

All he knew was what he heard from Lin Qi after the dust settled.

First, someone from the northwest went to Beijing to sue the officials of Ping'an Prefecture for various evil deeds, but the person who sued was secretly managed and tortured to death in prison. ——It has been several months since the case was supposed to be dismissed, but somehow it was uncovered again, and it was found out that the official in charge accepted bribes, tortured him into a trick, and then silenced the person.

Human life is at stake, and besides, this matter did not know how to spread, causing the entire capital to be full of uproar and discussion.At this point, even if you want to make a big deal smaller, you can't do it, so you can only investigate thoroughly.Then this investigation turned out to be sensational. Over the past few years, all kinds of evil deeds of Northwest officials have been exposed, ranging from wanton tampering with laws and various government orders of the court, to exploiting the people, increasing unnecessary taxes, forcibly occupying good land, and cooperating with rich businessmen and rich people. Households colluded with disregard for human life...all these, and so on.

Things have developed to this point, which naturally makes people puzzled.Where did the Northwest officials have the courage to do these things?And who is supporting them?

Continuing to investigate thoroughly, many powerful families in the capital were involved one by one.Including the Jia family.

So naturally officers and soldiers went to check the evidence, and sure enough, they found many suspicious things. In addition, they also found many things that were not related to the case, but they were obviously illegal. After further investigation, naturally, none of these big families were clean. Yes, the accumulation of all kinds of crimes is absolutely unbearable for a family like them.

However, what really pierced the sky was found out among these criminal evidences, all kinds of secret letters between Xibei and Prince Zhongshun.Although the letter will not directly write any treasonous remarks, but with what they have done, coupled with some sensitive and transcribed things copied out, it is enough to convict.

Then following these clues, Prince Zhongshun was naturally involved.

The entire case was investigated very quickly, from bottom to top, and within a few days, the homes of these powerful and powerful people were confiscated and strictly guarded.Because it happened so fast, although Prince Zhongshun's management in Beijing should not be underestimated, he still didn't have time to react.

When he got the news that he planned to enter the palace to plead guilty to the Supreme Emperor in order to protect himself, the emperor's confidants had already led the imperial decree and imprisoned him in his mansion.

But at this time, the emperor in the palace was wearing plain clothes, tossing himself very miserable, holding a lot of evidence, before the emperor learned the news and made trouble for himself, he went to the palace where the emperor lived to plead guilty.

The crime of conspiracy, no matter which emperor it is in the hands of, cannot be easily let go.Even if that person is his brother.In other words, it is precisely because they are brothers that they cannot be lightly forgiven.After all, that is the person who is most qualified to take this position besides himself.To be kind to him is to be cruel to yourself.

So this time the emperor used thunderous means to deal with the matter, just to do everything that should be done before the emperor reacts.At that time, even if the emperor is furious, the general trend has been achieved, and at most it will be a few words of scolding.And as long as Prince Zhongshun is not killed, and there is some leeway, the emperor will not really turn against him because of this matter.

But the benefits he can get are limitless: those conservative forces that are dead but not stiff are cleaned up, and there are no more constraints in the court, so the emperor's position as the supreme in the world is worthy of the name.In the future, it is natural to show off your ambitions and build indomitable achievements.

So this case, which caused panic in the capital, was quickly settled after a few days. Those who deserved to be killed, those who deserved to be punished, and those who should be copied. .

Don't mention other houses, just talk about Jia's house.Naturally, titles and official positions cannot be retained, and everything in the family, except for the private houses of the female relatives, was basically confiscated.Naturally, this imperial gifted house can no longer be lived in.Only the whole family was left with panicked faces, at a loss as to where to go.

It was Jia Mu, an old lady who had experienced many twists and turns, who was the first to stand up, took out her private house, bought a small house, and let everyone move in.The courtyard couldn't accommodate so many people, and most of the servants were dismissed, leaving only a few loyal ones who continued to serve by their side.However, the trivial life is not smooth, and the days of sitting and eating can't last long.And each room has its own little thoughts, which gradually cannot be concealed under more and more conflicts.

When the sun sets in the west, who can save it?

……

The Xue family also suffered huge losses on the surface.Xue Biao gritted his teeth and took out most of his family property in exchange for the peace of the whole family.But without the support of these things, the hearts of the clansmen soon fell apart, and they went their separate ways.Seeing this, Xue Biao simply ended his business in Jinling, took his sister and family, and went directly to Beijing to join Xue Pan.

Aunt Xue was also frightened by the vicissitudes outside that hadn't happened for many years. Knowing that Xue Pan was her only reliance, she dared not disobey him.He even took the initiative to ask Xue Pan to let Bo Yang move back to live, so that the whole family can also be taken care of.

After Xue Pan thought about it, he was very moved, so he came to discuss with Bo Yang.

She is an elder, since he let go, Bo Yang didn't want Xue Pan to have nothing to do with her forever, so naturally he couldn't refuse.

Anyway, relax and think, for ordinary people to marry a daughter-in-law, they have to suffer from their mother-in-law for several years, let alone the situation like myself and Xue Pan?Aunt Xue is not really a cruel person, she can always change her mind after getting along with her for a long time.

Bo Yang moved back with positive thoughts, and Aunt Xue was able to face him calmly, as if nothing had happened for a while, extremely harmonious.

In fact, when Bo Yang thought about it later, he also felt that this was a matter of course.In the original book, Xue Pan married Xia Jingui, the Hedong lion, and did so many excessive things. Didn't Aunt Xue still bear it?Even Baochai, who was so agile, suffered a lot from Xia Jingui's hands.Xia Jingui can bear it, let alone Bo Yang who has no bad things except gender?

The whole of August passed in the turmoil that made most people panic and confused. After entering September, the emperor sorted out the beginning and end of the matter. In order to calm people's hearts, it was inevitable to come up with a few things. It's a festive thing, a rush to this atmosphere.

The wedding with the county king Zhao Ziyi and Baochai was held at this time.

The procedures for the response were all prepared in advance, and according to the etiquette of the county king's wedding, it is naturally impossible to be simple.Originally because of the previous incident, Zhao Ziyi asked Lin Qi to reveal the news, in case the palace was not happy, some ceremonies might be cancelled, it was not his intention to treat Baochai poorly, let the Xue family not mind it.As a result, auspicious celebrations are everywhere in the palace, and the wedding came at the right time. The emperor rewarded them with a lot of extra things to create momentum for them, which made them even more fanfare than originally expected.

After all, Xue Pan has a lively temperament, and he is the only sister to marry, and he has another layer of thoughts in it: I am afraid that it will be difficult for him and Bai Yang to get married, and this is the only time that Xue's family can make a big deal, so naturally they have to be fierce and lively. some.Therefore, regardless of the cost of money, it is necessary to make this happy event look good.

Bo Yang let him toss about, looking at the festive excitement in front of him, he felt a few emotions in his heart.Especially seeing Daiyu and Baoqin accompanying the bride-to-be, Baochai, this kind of emotion reached its peak, and then turned into joy one by one.

"Lin Daiyu burned the manuscript to break her infatuation, Xue Baochai came out of her boudoir to become a big gift", the former alliance between Mushi and Jinyu lost to Jinyu Liangyuan, and this plot in the Red Mansion will never appear again.Daiyu and Baochai will never go to that tragic future again.From now on, their lives will be decided by themselves, instead of following the so-called fate.

That's all he can do.

As for himself... Bo Yang turned his head and looked at Xue Pan who was receiving guests with a smile on his face. His life was always in his hands.

Seemingly aware of his gaze, Xue Pan turned his head and saw Bo Yang was looking at him, with a widening smile on his face, said a few words to the person in front of him, then turned and walked towards this side.

"Brother Yang." He walked up to Bo Yang, looked him over from beginning to end, and made sure there was nothing wrong with him, then asked, "Why are you standing here? It's busy outside, come with me to meet people .”

"I don't want to go." Bo Yang said, "You also know that I don't like these things. You can deal with it yourself. I'll go in and have a few words with Baochai."

"Alright, elder brother is like a father, so he should have been exhorted more. I don't understand these things, Brother Yang; I even mentioned my share." Xue Pan immediately said with a smile.Anyway, Baochai knew about his relationship with Bo Yang a long time ago, but it was just a tacit understanding.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bo Yang gave him a sidelong glance, turned his head to leave, but was stopped by Xue Pan again.

"Brother Yang..." Xue Pan's voice was inexplicably pitiful, "You and I are both men, we may not be able to have such a happy wedding, so we can only wrong Brother Yang." It is about being wronged Bo Yang, but he himself seems to be ten times more wronged.

Bo Yang comforted, "This ceremony is just for people to watch. What's the use other than getting tired? We just need to know about other things."

"What else?" Xue Pan took Bo Yang's hand and asked intentionally.

Bo Yang looked at him and said with a slight smile, "What's on your mind, and what's on my mind."
