Reincarnation of Soul Cultivation 2

Lin Jing spent more than ten days digging through the whole city.Clean up those profiteers and corrupt officials, bullies and slaves, and local hooligans.

Although a year or a half later, there will probably be new villains to fill in, but for the time being, the city is considered to be quite clean.

Because of the different doses of the medicine, the symptoms of the epidemic first appeared on the servants of the Zhen family.

At first, no one in the Zhen family took it seriously, they just treated it as ordinary chickenpox.

Although chickenpox is also contagious, as long as you are careful, the contagion is not strong, and the fatality rate is not high, so it does not make too many people panic.Just let his family move these people out of the house to recuperate.

But gradually the Zhen family realized that something was wrong, because many people were infected, and people had already started to die.

Even because one of the dead stewards was Patriarch Zhen's confidant, he had served by Patriarch Zhen's side before he got sick, and he often met with the masters and men in the mansion, which caused the masters of Zhen's family to worry and panic.

At this time, the masters of the Zhen family no longer remembered how caring and capable the steward was, they just disliked him for being sick and possibly hurting the master.

The Zhen family hastily drove the sick servants out of the city and sent them to a remote village in the countryside, leaving them to fend for themselves.He also invited several well-known doctors in the city to take the pulse of the whole family, for fear that some of these ladies, ladies, and masters and young leaves may be infected with the epidemic.

For the Zhen family, the most important thing is the health and safety of the old lady of the Zhen family.

As long as the old lady of the Zhen family is alive, no matter what measures the Zhen family takes, they will be taken lightly and the family will be safe and sound.

But if Mrs. Zhen is gone, then the biggest protective halo of the Zhen family will be gone.

The emperor was a bit dissatisfied with the Zhen family, but he didn't investigate the crimes of the Zhen family because of his selfish favoritism. Instead, he sent his confidants to take care of Jiangnan, restrain the Zhen family, and let the Zhen family restrain themselves. Even the emperor had to deal with it.

If old lady Zhen and that halo were gone, who would have known that the love received by Concubine Zhen and the fifth prince would not be enough for the emperor to continue to be tolerant towards the Zhen family?

In the final analysis, the reason why Concubine Zhen is favored is also because she is the daughter of Mrs. Zhen's direct relative.Otherwise, the emperor had seen so many women, and although Concubine Zhen was a beauty, she was not particularly outstanding in the palace, so why would she be favored forever?

And the reason why the fifth and eighth princes are favored is also because the mother and concubine are favored.The emperor has more than a dozen princes, and a young son was born in these years.The fifth prince and the eighth prince neither occupy the heir to the throne, nor occupy the head, nor are they innocent and cute urchins. They are stuck in the middle among the princes.This kind of ranking is actually not a big advantage, because it is not as important as the emperor's first few sons, and it is not as favored by the emperor as the old sons.If there is no reason why Concubine Zhen is favored, the fifth and eighth princes are actually inconspicuous among brothers.

Therefore, although the noble concubine and the prince's grandson are the most honorable members of the Zhen family.However, the prosperity and wealth of the Zhen family ultimately depended on the old lady Zhen.

In Dream of Red Mansions, the Zhen family serves as the Jia family's control group, and the family composition is also very similar.

For example, Mrs. Zhen also has two sons and a daughter, and the daughter is the noble concubine in the palace.

For example, among the many grandchildren of Mrs. Zhen, Zhen Baoyu, the youngest son of the second room, who loves her the most, treats him like a phoenix egg.

But Mrs. Zhen is not as confused as the old lady of the Jia family, and she can still treat her own flesh and blood with a bowl of water.Zhen's parents and children are orderly, and now the head of the Zhen family is Zhen Yingjia, the eldest son of Mrs. Zhen.

Although Mrs. Zhen is partial to Zhen Baoyu among her grandchildren, this partiality is not the kind of partiality that wants to leave the Zhen family's family business to Zhen Baoyu, or it is purely because Zhen Baoyu is good-looking and has a considerate temperament that suits her old man's wishes. , so it's just a preference.

Although Patriarch Zhen's own son is not good at studying and taking scientific examinations, he is also shrewd and capable in dealing with practical affairs, so he is a suitable choice for the next Patriarch.

Because Mrs. Zhen was fair to her sons in the past, and the Zhen family did not have title disputes like the Jia family, so there was no discord between the brothers and nephews of the Zhen family, and the family was still united.

The old lady of the Zhen family is now old, and her temper is like an old child. She is partial to the grandchildren she likes, and the eldest son of the Zhen family is also very considerate.There will be no trouble with the second room for this.

Because the family inheritance is orderly, this favor does not represent any distribution of benefits, it is just favor.

After the doctors' pulse diagnosis, none of the masters of the Zhen family were infected, which made them greatly relieved.

But later they found out that they were relieved too early, because the disease spread outside, and gradually infected the whole city.Although the rate of infection is not high, there is almost no area in the whole city that is free of infection.

Such a dangerous severe disease and epidemic, if it wasn't for the fact that the Zhen family was also in this area, the magistrate would not have dared to leave the Zhen family and flee, and the magistrate himself would have dragged his family and his family to abandon the city and flee.After all, losing your job is better than losing your life.

Since they couldn't run away, they could only drive the sick people out of the city and gather them in a Zhuangzi to surround them.He was also worried that if he ignored the sick people, they would cause trouble, so he sent government servants to guard the village.After all, there were some officials' children and wealthy slaves among the infected people, and they were also worried that these people would complain about him in the future, so they forcibly summoned a few powerless doctors to see the sick people.

At this moment of panic, almost every household is guarding their doors and living cautiously.Because it was found that only people in the city were infected with the disease, but no one in the countryside outside the city was infected with the disease, and many people dragged their families to the village in the countryside to live temporarily.Even ordinary people who do not have a village in the countryside often go to their relatives' homes in the countryside to escape disaster.

Officials like Lin Ruhai have to go to the yamen to handle official business every day, so naturally they can't leave the city with their family and go to the suburbs and countryside.

The Zhen family may not be regarded as the local emperor in the south of the Yangtze River, but that is because the old lady Zhen used to be the emperor's nurse, and the Zhen family had a concubine Zhen and two noble princes, so everyone gave the Zhen family face and convenience.

In fact, the Zhen family members only have false titles and no actual positions.Just like Jia Lian in Rongguo Mansion, the donated official on his body is just a false title, he has no specific position and no rights at all, he just walks outside to have face, which is nothing more than an official status.

Of course, the false title of the Zhen family is different from that of Jia Lian.

Jia Lian's false title is really false, no one will take him seriously except for his good looks.

As for the false title of the Zhen family, it was because the old lady of the Zhen family and the emperor were in love before, and the Zhen family had two princes behind.In the eyes of outsiders, the Zhen family may reach the sky in one step because they have an emperor's grandson, and if they take a step back, two princes and grandchildren will be two county princes and princes, and they will be rich and safe.

In this case, even if the Zhen family does not have titles and official titles, they are all empty titles, and no one will underestimate the Zhen family.

Because the Zhen family has a false title, they don't need to go to the Yamen to work every day, so it is convenient for them to escape.A family of young and old, plus each master brought seven or eight servants, it was really a mighty trip out of the city to avoid illness.

In fact, many people in the city knew that the disease first occurred on the servants of the Zhen family.That is to say, the Zhen family didn't take it seriously, and later found out that the disease was very contagious, and they drove the infected people out, but they didn't think about reporting to the government, which caused the disease to spread more and more, and finally spread to the whole city.

If this is placed on someone who has no power and power, the government will have to investigate and question the crime, or at least exploit it.

If it is put on other officials, there will also be impeachment by the censor.

Only when it was placed on the Emperor's extreme favor like the Zhen family, everyone turned a blind eye and let it go lightly.No one would touch the stone of the Zhen family with an egg, not even an upright official like Lin Ruhai.

But everyone has a steelyard in their hearts. The Zhen family is usually domineering and domineering. Apart from the Zhen family's own henchmen, who would not be disgusted with it?

Now that something happened to the Zhen family, the Zhen family ran away mercilessly, and the remaining officials had to live and die with the people of this city.How could he not be secretly angry with the Zhen family.

After all, not every official is upright and upright, because the Zhen family's rampant behavior has led to the corruption of officials in Jiangnan, and there are not many honest officials, most of them are those who are greedy for power and profit.How could such a person not be afraid of death, and how could he be willing to stay here.It's a pity that under such circumstances, the magistrate of the prefecture has stayed. How can the officials below him dare to offend the Shangguan.If an official abandons his official position and flees, it is not just a matter of abandoning his official title, but offending the superior official and his colleagues. Under the records of these officials, the emperor may even add a third grade to the crime. The scapegoat for this epidemic.

Therefore, this kind of villain can't leave because he wants to leave. On the contrary, he hates the Zhen family for implicating them even more than the kind of official who has been serious about his errands without thinking about avoiding disaster.

Many servants of the Lin family were "sick" and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were extremely nervous about the safety of their children.Fortunately, after all the sick people were sent out of the city for isolation, no one from the master to the slave in the Lin family got sick, and gradually settled down.

Daiyu is five years old, and Lin Jing is three years old. They no longer live in the side room next to their parents, but arranged the east and west rooms of Jia Min's yard as their residence.

Originally, Lin Jing would leave the inner courtyard when she was seven years old and have her own independent courtyard in the outer courtyard.And after Daiyu is a few years older, she will have her own courtyard and embroidery building in the inner courtyard.They also lived in Jia Min's yard for a few more years when they were young.

Now Jia Min is worried about his children, so he moved them to the side room of his bedroom, so that he can feel at ease when he can see them from time to time.Fortunately, Yu and Lin Jing are very young, and they don't pay attention to the rule of "seven-year-old men and women have different seats", so it's okay to sleep on the same bed.

Because of the epidemic, Daiyu, who had already started school, and Lin Jing, who had just started enlightenment, also suspended classes.

Because their teacher Jia Yucun was also "sick".

Of course it was Lin Jing who did it.

As a greedy and cruel official, Jia Yucun blindly judged the gourd case for the sake of King Xue and his family.He wanted a few fans for Jia Amnesty, and killed the stone nerd again.He wandered among the rich and powerful, and he attached himself to whoever was more powerful, and all he dealt with were powerless and powerless common people.Is there any need for such officials to exist?

So even though Jia Yucun had no grievances with the Lin family, Lin Jing also put some medicinal powder on him, which made him ill and could never be an official again.Otherwise, even if Lin Daiyu doesn't go to Jia's house, there is no guarantee that one day Jia Yucun will ask Lin Ruhai to write a letter of recommendation, and then take advantage of the opportunity to become an official again.In that case, it is inevitable that the Lin family is also responsible for the crimes committed by Jia Yucun when he was an official.
