[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

When Jia Zheng heard that the plaque bestowed by the Rongxi Hall was cut off by Lin Jian, his face turned pale in fright. home rush.

Halfway along the road, Jia Amnesty suddenly stopped and said that he would not go back.

Jia Zheng didn't understand, so Jia Amnesty didn't explain it to him, but let Jia Zheng go back first: "I still have some things to deal with, I will return to the house after a while."

Jia Zheng cared about his family, and he didn't care about Jia Amnesty. When Jia Amnesty left, he rushed to Rongguo Mansion with the reporter.

It's just that the Lin family guard sent by Lin Jian shouted on the street, making Jia Zheng's face turn green and pale, but the guard was from the Lin family and Lin Jian's personal bodyguard. Jia Zheng had no right to control him, so he could only listen to it. The more I listen, the more I feel ashamed.

Fortunately, it was raining at the moment, there were not so many pedestrians on the street, and Jia Zheng was sitting in a sedan chair and couldn't see outside, so it was a little bit of face for him.

The plaque in Rongxi Hall was given to Rongguo Mansion by Emperor Tai/Zu when he was canonized as Duke Rongguo after the founding of the country. After moving, this plaque that can show Duke Rong's military achievements is not light, and it can be regarded as a symbol of the founding of the country.

Lin Jian chopped off the plaque of Rongxi Hall, and everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was shocked.

Mrs. Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others in the mansion were all shocked when they heard the news. People rushed to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and threw Jia Baoyu out. Jia Baoyu cried and wanted to go in to see Lin Daiyu, but Lin Jian's people stopped him, and there was a lot of trouble there.

Mother Jia felt sorry for Jia Baoyu, and when she heard that the mansion had sent someone to ask Jia to pardon Jia Zheng and returned, she stopped going and took Mrs. Wang to Xiaoxiang Hall to find Jia Baoyu.

Mother Jia guessed that Lin Jian's sudden visit to the house had something to do with Lin Daiyu's affairs, but she didn't know whether it was about the matter of Zhuangzi in the shop or whether she had arranged for Lin Daiyu to marry me.Mother Jia thought that the latter did a good job of keeping secrets, and the house didn't spread the word, so how could the outside know?

But when Jia Mu saw Jia Baoyu crying like that, her heart ached so much that she immediately went up and took Jia Baoyu into her arms to protect her. She didn't have to care about Lin Jian either.

Jia's mother didn't want to offend Lin Jian, so she followed Xiaoxiang Pavilion and was guarded by Lin Jian's people, coaxing and persuading her, and took Jia Baoyu back to her residence.

Jia Zheng rushed to Rongxi Hall to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the plaque that used to hang on the hall had fallen to the ground and was broken into two pieces, and the surrounding area was in a mess. I'm afraid Jia Zheng fainted because of the rush of fire.

Lin Jian moved an armchair and sat firmly on the side of the hall with Erlang's legs crossed. Seeing Jia Zheng's return, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng came back quite quickly."

Jia Zheng still remembered the rules and manners at this time, he pushed away the long entourage that was supporting him, stood in the hall, suppressed his anger and asked Lin Jian: "What is the meaning of this, Lord Hou?"

"what for?"

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Aren't I being obvious enough? Based on what your family has done, you don't deserve to have this plaque bestowed by the Emperor Tai/Zu. I am doing justice for the heavens." To vent my anger on behalf of Tai/Zu Emperor, just destroy this plaque. Save Tai/Grandfather from thinking that he is blind, and you will disturb his peace even under the Nine Springs."

Jia Zheng said angrily: "This plaque was bestowed on the ancestors by the Emperor Taizu's royal letter. Whether it is worthy or not is determined by the current sage. Why do you need Lord Hou to do it for you? Lord Hou knows how bad it is for a minister to destroy something bestowed by the emperor." Is it a crime?"

Lin Jian laughed: "Does the elder know that it is a crime to accept and hide the imperial bestowals without permission?"

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Lin Jian's question meant.

Lin Jian beckoned, and said to Xiao Chen beside him, "Show the elder Zheng what you found."

During the time waiting for Jia Zheng's return, Lin Jian was not idle.He ordered people to go to Jia Baoyu's room, took some things out, and was waiting for Jia Zheng to show him when he came back.

He was able to cut off the imperial plaque, and turned upside down the inner and outer courtyards of Jia's mansion. No one in the mansion dared to stop his men, so his men went to Jia Baoyu's room to search for things, and it was very smooth. .

There were a lot of things in the tray, and the most conspicuous place was the string of wagtail incense that Jia Baoyu got from the King of Beijing.

Seeing Jia Zheng looking at something, Lin Jian said in a low voice beside him, "This string of wagtail incense must be familiar to Mr. Zheng, right? Mr. She also has a string, which was given to the four princes and eight princes by the emperor."

"What does this wagtail mean? I don't need to explain to the old man who has read many poems and books. The Holy Majesty bestowed this string of wagtail incense to the emperor, which means that the brotherhood with the four kings and eight princes will remain unchanged. Regardless of the North For what reason did King Jing give this wagtail incense string to Young Master Ling? This incense string is a gift from the imperial court, and it is of great significance. Instead of saying politely and not accepting it, Young Master Ling took it privately. If you despise the Holy Majesty and regard the imperial power as nothing, if this matter is reported, the young master will be punished for it, and if you follow the law, it will not be considered a capital offense."

Jia Zheng knew that Jia Baoyu and Shui Rong had a close personal relationship, but he didn't expect Shui Rong to give Jia Baoyu the wagtail incense strings from the imperial court, and Jia Baoyu took it back.

The matter of the wagtail incense sticks can be big or small, if Emperor Chengsheng raised his hand, it would be over.But not long after the Wang family committed the crime, all the families of the four princes and eight princes knew the key points of Emperor Chengsheng's mind. If such a thing was reported to the public, Jia Baoyu might really be involved.

After all, it was indeed a gift from King Beijing, but at most he would have to be warned, Jia Baoyu took it on his own initiative, and his crime was much more serious than Shui Rong.

Besides, Jia Baoyu was not originally from the eldest family, but only the grandson of the second family. He is not qualified to own the wagtail incense sticks at all. , or even have unruly intentions, it will add another layer of disaster.

The more Jia Zheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He didn't know where the anger that had rushed up just now went, so he immediately lowered his posture and said to Lin Jian: "Please, Lord Hou, hold your hands high and let the dog go." .”

Lin Jian smiled: "Mr. Zheng, I have let him go once before. This wagtail incense stick appeared in front of me a while ago. I didn't pierce it for the sake of his loyalty. This matter. I warned Young Master Ling not to do it again, but Young Master Ling didn’t take it seriously, so I couldn’t pretend I didn’t see it.”

In order to save Jia Baoyu's life, Jia Zheng couldn't care less about anything. He knelt down to Lin Jian and still begged Lin Jian to let Jia Baoyu live: "Master, this is because I, a father, have no way to teach. It was my fault. Please don't report this matter to Lord Hou, but if you have any requests, just mention them, and I will do my best to satisfy Lord Hou's wish!"

Lin Jian winked and asked Xiao Chen to help Jia Zheng up.

"You are an older person, and I can't bear to beg me like this in private."

"But your rank is lower than mine. In terms of rules, you should kneel to me in the officialdom. But Mr. Zheng, what identity are you begging me with? You begged me like this in private, saying that you would try your best to satisfy my wish. If you want me to bend the law for personal gain and let Young Master Ling go, are you asking me, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to know the law and break the law?"

Jia Zheng knelt but didn't dare to kneel, and even made Lin Jian terrified by what he said, he didn't dare to say more, but kept bowing and saying that he didn't dare, never daring to let Lin Jian know that he broke the law and practiced favoritism for personal gain.

"... How Lord Hou wants to deal with the dog, please tell him clearly."

Lin Jian laughed, raised his hand and tapped the tray in Xiao Chen's hand in the air, his smile was mischievous and evil: "Speaking of which, Mr. Zheng is really very helpless in teaching his children."

"I heard that two years ago, Young Master Ling had an affair with the same play/zi. That play/zi was originally in the residence of the holy brother Zhong Wangye, but it happened to be hooked up with young master Ling through secret passages. That play/zi was with young master Ling The relationship is very close, and one day you fled privately from the palace, and the governor of the palace, Shi, came to beg for someone in person. Only then did you know the whole story. You got angry, and you will beat the young master severely. But what can you do if you beat him? What about it? If you keep the young master from you in private, isn’t it just a relapse into the old ways?”

Lin Jian motioned Xiao Chen to bring the tray to Jia Zheng, so that Jia Zheng could see the contents clearly, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Ling and the chess player are still in contact with each other. The frivolous things on it are so colorful, it's not like It is something that a son of a noble family should have. As far as I know, there are a few items here that were given by chess officials, and they are treasured in boxes and cages. For those who come and go, it was a private gift from a few elementary school students in your Jia family school."

"It doesn't matter whether men or women, as long as they are good-looking, gentle and willing to flatter him, he will be regarded as a confidant. Young Master Ling has a lot of fun outside. It is said that Xue Pan is not as good as him. For this matter, Xue Pan can't grab him. Both of them Personally, I have been angry for a while. Mr. Zheng, just say that Mr. Ling put all his thoughts on these flowers, flowers, willows and greens, how can he read a good book?"

"Your mansion can't take care of your children and grandchildren, why don't you let the Metropolitan Procuratorate take care of it for you, you see, is that good?"

For these bad habits of Jia Baoyu, Jia Zheng really disciplined Jia Baoyu severely.But the beating ended without any problems because of the unconditional protection and doting of Jia Baoyu by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Zheng was busy with official duties, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang doted on Jia Baoyu, and everyone in the house kept Jia Baoyu's secrets. He thought Jia Baoyu had changed many things, but in fact he hadn't changed them at all.

In fact, what Lin Jian said was not wrong, he was indeed incapable of teaching his son, if he hadn't given in to his mother and wife, a good son would not have become what he is today.

But even though he saw and heard Jia Baoyu's absurdity, he couldn't let the Metropolitan Procuratorate discipline his son for him. If the Metropolitan Procuratorate entered, Jia Baoyu would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die. In his heart, how could he bear Jia Baoyu? What about suffering like that?

Jia Zheng is serious and rigid, but he is not a fool. He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he was born in a family like the Rongguo Mansion. He has some thoughts that he has never used, but he can see them.

Lin Jian came aggressively, and chopped off his family's imperial plaque, and kept saying that his family was not worthy of having this plaque. When he questioned him, Lin Jian calmly ordered someone to search for Baoyu's belongings. It seems that he is very clear about Baoyu's affairs.

The matter of wagtail incense sticks was obviously caught by Lin Jian a long time ago.

Jia Zheng didn't know when, where and why Jia Baoyu offended Lin Jian, but he knew very well that Lin Jian's outburst with such fanfare today was completely premeditated and planned to crush Jia Baoyu.

If Lin Jian was not allowed to let out the anger in his heart, if he really wanted to make a fuss with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, their family would not get any benefit.

For the current plan, we can only follow Lin Jian's wishes in exchange for Baoyu's life and the face of the whole family.

Many thoughts and worries flashed through his mind one by one, and Jia Zheng lowered his posture more: "What Hou Ye said is true, it is because I have no way to raise my children, that is why there are such unfilial children and grandchildren in the house. My family is not worthy of owning this plaque now, and I will personally express my feelings to the Holy Majesty in the future, because my Jia family lost the trust of my grandpa/grandfather first.”

"Since Lord Hou has already warned the dog, but the dog has no regrets, this is the ignorance of the dog. Since the Lord Hou has advised and educated the dog, I am bold today and ask the Lord to teach and deal with the dog for me. The dog If you can know how to repent, it is the good fortune of a dog."

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Is Mr. Zheng begging me to discipline my son for you?"

Jia Zheng said, "I'm incompetent. I can't control this evil. I also ask Lord Hou to discipline me."

Jia Zheng was worried at first, afraid that Lin Jian would not accept the words, so he deliberately took a step back and took the matter of cutting off the plaque on himself, and did not mention the crime again, just hoping that Lin Jian would also take a step back, Keep this matter private and don't go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He was a little worried at first, for fear that Lin Jian would not agree, but he didn't know that his words hit Lin Jian's heart, and it was almost his words that made Lin Jian agree.

"Since the old man is incompetent, I will take care of the young master Ling for the old man today."

The smile on Lin Jian's face was a little cold, but also a little harsh, "The old political words have been spoken, and I can't go back on it. I will act on behalf of the old political experts, and I will keep Mr. Ling honestly and never make mistakes again in the future!"

Jia Zheng has seen countless people in his life, and he has never seen such a stern smile on the face of a young man. When he saw Lin Jian's expression, he immediately regretted it. Bite the bullet and nodded.

Lin Jian didn't care about Jia Zheng anymore, he raised his eyes and signaled to the guards of the Lin family beside him. Xiao Chen waited for the other two guards to understand, and immediately went out of the main hall of Rongxi Hall in the rain, and went to the inner house to find Jia Baoyu.

Two other guards asked Jia's servants to bring a stool and fetch ropes and other things, and then the whole room waited for Jia Baoyu's arrival.

Amidst the pattering rain, Lin Jian looked at Jia Zheng. He picked out the wagtail incense sticks from the tray on the table and put them in his hands repeatedly rubbing the word "Bei Jing" on the incense beads. After a while, he said leisurely, "Zheng The old man invited the family law last time, and beat Young Master Ling severely. Today I also followed the example of Zheng Lao, and invited the family law from the family."

"Mr. Zheng knows that I have been in the southern Anhui army for several years. This army is the most particular about playing with the board. There is a style of fighting that can beat people to pieces and make them miserable, but it doesn't hurt the bones at all. I think Mr. Ling Absurd behavior, probably only this style of play can make him remember the most."

"Mr. Ling's skin is tender/meaty, but at any rate he is diced. I think he should be able to withstand forty boards. Don't worry, Mr. Zheng. The guards in my family have received professional training, and they will definitely not let Mr. Ling's injuries affect his future. Walking. It is normal for him to be unable to walk for a month after the forty boards, but after three or four months, he will be fine."

Lin Jian was annoyed that Jia's mother was bullying too much, and made up her mind to severely humiliate Jia Baoyu to vent her anger on Lin Daiyu.

Jia Baoyu is the darling of the lords and wives in this mansion, if you beat him, how many people will feel sorry for him.Lin Jian wanted to vent his anger like this, torturing the people of Jia's mansion both physically and mentally, and even more so, trampling down their pride and self-esteem.

He wanted everyone in Jia's mansion to know that not only he, the young master of the Lin family, was not to be messed with, but even the people protected by the young master of the Lin family were not to be touched!

The last time Jia Zheng beat Baoyu, he saw a little blood, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. Now that he heard that Jia Baoyu, who Lin Jian was going to beat, was bruised and had to be raised on the bed for three or four months, his heart ached immediately. .

He wanted to intercede, and wanted Lin Jianrong to forgive him, but when his eyes touched the wagtail incense skewers in Lin Jian's hand, he swallowed all the words he wanted to say.And when Jia Zheng glanced at the things on the tray again, Jia Zheng was still very angry with Jia Baoyu.

He even thought that it would be good if Lin Jian could beat Jia Baoyu severely for him, but he only hoped that after this catastrophe, Jia Baoyu would really repent and reform, that would really be his good fortune.

Jia Baoyu was coaxed and persuaded by Jia Mu, and his mood improved a lot, but he still cared about Lin Daiyu's reputation, and he didn't dare to tell those things. explain.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were frightened by him just now, and it was fine to see Jia Baoyu refused to speak. It was only at this time that Jia Mu thought of Lin Daiyu.Jia Baoyu also missed Lin Daiyu, so he insisted on dragging Jia Mu to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, saying that he wanted Jia Mu to rescue Lin Daiyu from the vicious guards of the Lin family.

Jia's mother didn't want to get involved in this matter, but Jia Baoyu was so entangled that she had no choice but to agree with him.

But at this moment, Xiao Chen arrived with two guards, and Yi Linjian ordered Jia Baoyu to go to the front.

Even though Jia Zheng's long entourage followed behind, saying that it was the master's intention to take Second Master Bao to the front, Jia's mother was not happy when she saw the guards of the Lin family following.

Mrs. Jia Muwang was in the house. They were numerous and powerful, but how could a group of helpless women beat the professionally trained guards of the Lin family?

The guards of the Lin family didn't rob them at all, but they acted quickly, grabbed Jia Baoyu in their hands, and took Jia Baoyu by the collar to lead him to Rongxi Hall.

Anyway, Lin Jian only ordered him to be brought, but didn't say how to bring them, so they didn't need to be polite to Jia Baoyu.

The guards of the Lin family were so rampant that they took people away from under her nose, Jia's mother was furious, she immediately took Mrs. Wang and the others to the Rongxi Hall.Earlier, because she cared that Jia Baoyu didn't go to question Lin Jian, and didn't know what was going on with Jia Zheng, she didn't restrain Lin Jian, but instead brought Jia Baoyu to the front.

Mother Jia thought that Jia Zheng was useless, so she took this opportunity to go to Lin Jian and ask him carefully, he is making such a fuss in Rongguo Mansion today, is he trying to rebel!

The guards of the Lin family brought them here. Jia Baoyu was caught in the rain all the way and was carried by the collar. When he arrived at Rongxi Hall, his footsteps were unsteady and he almost fell. After he stood still, he saw the situation in Rongxi Hall clearly. There were stools, ropes, bamboo boards and other things in the hall, he didn't even bother to look at Jia Zheng's expression, just seeing Lin Jian's gloomy gaze made his heart sink.

He had experienced such a scene a few years ago, what else did he not understand?

Just as Jia Baoyu stood firm, he turned around and ran away.He didn't even bother to think about why he was being beaten, he only knew that if he ran slowly, his ass/ass would suffer again.

The two guards of the Lin family reacted faster than him. As soon as Jia Baoyu moved his feet, the two jumped up and restrained him.

Lin Jian said softly, "Tie it up. Beat it."

How could Jia Baoyu break free from the shackles of the Lin family's guards?Soon he was pressed on the bench, his hands and feet were tied, and his pants were pulled down, revealing his white/flowered/flowered butt/butt/eggs.

Jia Baoyu was startled and frightened, so he hurriedly asked Jia Zheng who was next to him for help: "Master, please help me!"

Jia Zheng felt anxious and hurt, but he couldn't save Jia Baoyu. He hated Jia Baoyu for being incompetent and disobedient, so he picked up the tray on the table and threw it in front of Jia Baoyu, hating iron for being weak and saying: "You Look at what you bastard is doing! If you don't hit you, you bastard today, you will be even more ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth!"

The things in the tray were scattered on the ground in front of Jia Baoyu's eyes due to the momentum, and Jia Baoyu looked at them dazzlingly. They were all the personal belongings of his relationship with a close friend, how could they be dug out and put here again?

Jia Baoyu thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at Lin Jian, Lin Jian slightly hooked his lips, and raised the wagtail incense string in his hand at him, Jia Baoyu's heart sank, and immediately recalled Lin Jian's The guards were sent to warn him, but he didn't take it seriously.

"Master, I—"

Jia Baoyu wanted to intercede and explain to Jia Zheng, but before he could open his mouth, the boards of the two guards of the Lin family standing next to him dropped repeatedly, causing Jia Baoyu to open his mouth in pain and yelled, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -"

Jia Baoyu's miserable scream immediately interrupted what he was about to say.

It is very painful to hit the skin directly with the board, not to mention that the guards of the Lin family used a skillful style of attack in the army.Not to mention the flesh and blood as soon as the board went down, besides the pain in the flesh, there was also pain and numbness deep in the bone marrow. The bones were fine, but the pain in the cone was absolutely unbearable.

Those rough guys who had experienced many battles in the army were beaten to the point of screaming, and it was even more unbearable for a pampered family like Jia Baoyu.

Except for Lin Jian and the guards of the Lin family, everyone in the hall, including Jia Zheng and the servants of the Jia family, was startled by Jia Baoyu's earth-shattering voice.

Jia Baoyu's shrill screams never stopped from the upper body of the board, the screams almost went straight into the sky, and could be heard far away from Rongxi Hall, and Mrs. Jia Muwang and others who followed after hearing the screams immediately heard the screams. My heart skipped a beat.

From a distance, Lin Jian saw a large group of people surrounding Jiamu coming to Rongxi Hall, and he quietly told his people: "Close the doors and windows tightly, and don't let anyone in."

"You guys, keep fighting."
