Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

"Oops, I forgot to ask Brother Nian his name." Someone slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Hey, is the third brother leaving too?"

"Everyone, please ignore them. Now there are traitors and sycophants in power, controlling the imperial examinations. We would rather be in pieces than in ruins!"

"Yes, I will never swallow this breath!"

"Why don't we jointly submit a letter to the imperial court and ask for a verdict on the fraud in Jinke?"

"You're right, I have some experience in this way, and I'm willing to help you brothers!"

"Okay, let's go separately to notify the unfortunate candidates who failed the exam, and get together here to sign the petition. How about that?"

"Okay! That's it! Waiter, I'll serve you with pen and ink!"

The movement upstairs caused the people on the two floors below to come up one after another to watch. For a moment, they were united and acted separately.

Similar scenes occurred simultaneously in many teahouses, inns, and guild halls in Beijing. If countless sparks were ignited, it would surely start a prairie fire! ——
That night, Jia Cong stayed in Daiyu's room, and Baochai was also there.

Because Daiyu was so fragile, she always asked Baochai to express her kindness, and Baochai also "reciprocated the favor" by inviting her back again and again. The habit became natural, and gradually formed the trend of "joining Baochai (Dai) to fight against Jia".

Jia Cong was also happy to have two daughters together, so he allowed them to "form cliques".

The ancients did not have much entertainment except reading at night. Because the light of candle oil lamps was dim, Jia Cong did not allow the girls to use their eyes at night. He only sat and chatted with Bao Dai and told stories for fun.

Tonight, we were talking about the embroidery episode of "Swordsman". Bao, Dai, Zijuan, Xueyan, Xiangling, Ying'er and others were listening attentively.

When they heard that Dongfang Bubai, the world-famous leader of the Demon Cult, was actually a nefarious and eccentric embroiderer of women's clothes, everyone was shocked and shocked.

The timid Xueyan and Xiangling were so frightened that they hugged each other, wanting to hear but being afraid at the same time.

Daiyu spat: "What kind of obscene story? It's all about protruding peaks, pretending to be shocking and disgusting. It's unreasonable and unreasonable."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "That's fine, I won't say anything."

"No, there's no point in telling half of a story." Daiyu said angrily. This story was at its most exciting, and she couldn't bear to let it go.

Jia Cong looked at Baochai and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, what do you think?"

Baochai pursed his lips and smiled and said: "It sounds unbelievable at the moment. I don't know what will happen next, so I dare not make any judgments."

"You only know the effect, but not the cause. It's not surprising that you have this misunderstanding. When I finish speaking, you will be convinced." Jia Cong said with a smile.

With Master Jin's extraordinary pen power, conquering you, a little girl, is not just about grabbing something from a bag?
"I don't believe it, just tell me." Daiyu smiled.

"Why does Dongfang Bubai, the best master in the world, behave like a daughter, embroidering with needles, just like you..."

As he spoke, Jia Cong pinched his orchid fingers and made two exaggerated coy gestures, making the girls laugh.

"Bah, disgusting! Sister Bao, he is so ugly. As female celebrities, we will look like this sooner or later." Daiyu said angrily.

Baochai was also a little annoyed. He glared at Jia Cong and said, "Let's relay what he said to Ruyi tomorrow."

"That's what I meant." Daiyu smiled like a fox.

"Hey, what are you talking about Ruyi? Don't you talk about martial ethics?" Jia Cong waved his hands quickly and said: "Let's get back to the topic, Dongfang Bubai's ugly behavior actually involves an earth-shattering secret in the martial arts world."

"What secret?" Daiyu asked hurriedly.

Jia Cong was about to explain the origin of the "Sunflower Collection" when he suddenly heard Cheng Lingsu call outside the door: "Master, someone from the Jinyi Guards is here to report urgently."

coming! Jia Cong was overjoyed and said with a smile, "We'll talk about it when I get back."

Although Bao and Dai desperately wanted to know what was going on, they couldn't let him abandon his official duties for personal reasons, so they just asked for it. They could only glare at him angrily and watch him go out. Jia Cong came out quickly and saw the visitor in the study room. It was Wen Zhen, Wang Fei and Meng Chen who were in charge of the North and South Division.

After the ceremony, Wen Zhen bowed and said: "My lord, spies from all over have reported that tonight in the middle of the capital, the failed scholars gathered in various places, threatening that the imperial examination was flawed.

Most of the people recorded were from Guangdong, Hunan, and Fujian. The targets were directed at Song Zhongtang, the president of the current University of Science and Technology, and others, and they wanted to jointly submit a letter. Could you please tell me, should I block or let go? "

Jia Cong said calmly: "How do you think we should deal with it?"

Wen Zhen bowed and said: "I think that since my guard has discovered this matter, there is no reason to sit back and watch.

The imperial examination is a major national academic and political event. Since all the candidates in the world have objections to the examination, we thought that there would be no trouble without trouble, so we rashly intercepted it. If there was indeed a malpractice, it would be suspected of helping the tyrants to persecute the emperor. "

"You mean let go?"

"My lord, even if we want to let go, we must first inform your majesty to show that we have the advantage of being aware of the cicada before the autumn wind has moved it.

As for how to deal with it, I think your Majesty will make your own decision, so you don’t need to take any risks. "Wen Zhen said.

"This is a mature statement. It's just that I have something to do and it's not convenient for me to enter the palace tonight. In this case, you can quickly enter the palace and report this matter to the Holy Majesty on my behalf and ask for judgment."

The governors of the north and south towns also had the power to report directly to the emperor.

"Yes, I humbly obey my orders." Wen Zhen bowed and said.

This was his first time to meet a saint. In the past, under Jia Cong's severe punishments, he would not dare to spare the commander and enter the palace privately and report to the superiors.

"In addition, there is one more thing to report to your lord."

"explain."

"The day before yesterday, Your Excellency Jun ordered us to investigate the Sun family in Datong Prefecture, and the results have been obtained.

The Sun family is a military family with generations of military officers. The contemporary young master Sun Shaozu took an official position in Beijing. He spent some money to smoothen relations with the Ministry of War and wanted to be transferred back to Datong Mansion to serve as a garrison, but was refuted by the Minister of War Meng.

The Sun family has been running rampant in Datong Mansion for many years, oppressing good people and preying on the common people.

Sun Shaozu was even more debauched and violent, with a human face and an animal heart. What's more, the Sun family took advantage of Datong's proximity to the grasslands to smuggle goods for a long time.

In addition, the Sun family also had some business dealings with Mr. Sheda, and he was from a family in both houses, so he came to ask for his hand in marriage. Now that the evidence is conclusive, please tell me. "Wen Zhen bowed and said.

Jia Cong sneered and said: "The Sun family has a bad family tradition and unworthy descendants. We should be severely punished according to the law. The relevant people should be immediately taken away and the evidence of their crimes should be sent to the Third Judiciary.

In order to plan a crime, Sun Shaozu and other first offenders were stubborn and committed a heinous crime. They should be executed! The rest of the men were exiled to the nine borders and sent to the army, but the women and children were not asked. And his family property was confiscated. "

"Yes, let's do the humble job right now." Wen Zhen cupped his hands and said.

"Wang Fei stays, you go."

"Yes."

"What are your orders, sir?" Wang Fei was a little happy. Since Jia Cong left him alone, he naturally had a secret mission. This is called a confidant.

Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have anyone in the Prince's Palace in Beijing?"

Wang Fei said hurriedly: "Yes. Not only the Prince's Palace in Beijing, but also all the relatives, clan relatives, and important officials in the capital have placed personnel in low-level positions."

"No, the manpower deployed in the past is not enough. This news cannot be found out except by people very close to the King of Beijing." Jia Cong waved his hand.

"My lord, please show me, and I will arrange it for you later." Wang Fei bowed.

"I want you to find out what kind of person King Beijing is, what he means to my second master Bao, and what it means to the Jia family. Do you understand?" Jia Cong said lightly. (End of chapter)
