Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"What does the prefect mean?" Jia Lian looked surprised.

Shuntian Prefecture Governor shook his head as he spoke, with a hint of chill on his face.

"Did you go to the Lin family last night without telling them?"

"Then it is understandable that they were killed."

"The Duke's Mansion is indeed too far away from the center."

"You should send someone to find out something."

"Let me put it this way. I'm sending people there now. The Lin family killed my people."

"I still have to apologize."

"That being said."

"Do you need me to say more?"

At this point, Shuntian Prefecture's face turned cold.

It's impossible that the young master of the Jia family is so stupid, right?

Shuntian Prefecture Governor thought to himself.

Fortunately, I was smart and met Jia Lian in private during this troubled time.

I blocked this news in advance.

Otherwise, if we open the court directly for questioning, we will get into trouble.

It's not that Jia Lian didn't understand, he just couldn't believe it.

According to the prefect, the Lin family can kill the emperor's people at will?

He looked at the imperial guards with a questioning look.

Several imperial guards looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought that if they killed him, they would have to apologize.

Since when did the lives of the imperial guards become so worthless?

Life is worthless, this doesn't apply to people like us, right?

After figuring this out, the imperial guards decided to

They all saluted with their fists, turned around and left without any unnecessary movements.

Seeing this, Jia Lian didn't want to stay any longer, "Thank you, Lord Prefect."

"If it weren't for the prefect, I would have made a big mistake today."

The prefect's eyes brightened up a bit, and flashed a few times.

He shook his head and said,

"Don't worry, Master Lian. You won't make any big mistakes. You are coming to our Shuntian Prefecture."

"If it were any other government office, they would most likely sentence you to a false accusation."

"Perhaps for the sake of the Duke's Mansion, we should expel them."

"What's wrong with that?"

Hearing this, Jia Lian was shocked.

I was so shocked that I couldn't help asking,

"Why are the various government offices so afraid?"

"Do we have to be afraid of the Lin family like a tiger?"

Shuntian Prefecture Governor stroked his chin with his hand, a few strands of beard curled up, his face was reserved and very polite.

"Second Master Lian, as the head of a large family, you should still pay more attention to the court."

After saying this, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture began to be frugal with his words, feeling that he had given enough pointers.

Although I don't have the ability to participate in the court struggle,

But whichever faction is in power cannot be offended. As for Shuntian Prefecture Yin, a local official under the emperor,

He is well aware of this.

According to what I have heard, the only family that is invincible now is the Lin family.

No matter which faction gains power, the roots of a royal family will be firmly established.

But I can only keep these words in my heart.

So he raised his hand and sent the confused Jia Lian away.

……

After they left Shuntian Mansion, Jia Lian stared at the imperial guards with sharp eyes.

"I'm going to the Lin family. What do you think?"

"Would you like to go with me?"

After saying this, Jia Lian had a hint of a sneer on his face.

Several guards exchanged glances, and finally one of them said,

"Master Lian, thank you for disturbing you last night. We were only following orders."

"Please forgive me!"

"We won't go to the Lin family. We have to go back and report."

"Sorry! Farewell!"

Jia Lian's face turned cold, and he continued, "Then how do we explain the things in our house?"

Several imperial guards said, "Second Master Lian, you don't have to embarrass us brothers."

"Where are the things? We handed them in too!"

"Go back and ask your superiors for it!"

Seeing Jia Lian frowning, as if he was getting anxious,

The imperial guard also sneered, patted the knife handle on his waist, and said in a bad tone, "Second Master Lian, it wasn't just your family that was copied last night."

"We didn't get any word from above, and we didn't get anything."

"Is it any use if you glare at us?"

"If you have the ability to glare at people, why don't you find a few other families and work together to find your superiors? Maybe there will be a way out."

After saying that, the few of them had no intention of getting involved and just left.

When Jia Lian heard this, he was indignant, but he had no ability to stop them, so he had to let them go.

They are a bunch of weak-willed people who are afraid to go to the Lin family for fear of being killed by the Lin family again.

It seems that things have really turned around now?

The Lin family is the knife, and the Jia family is the soft persimmon?

Jia Lian could not accept this reality, and for both public and private reasons, it was not appropriate for him to go to the Lin family now.

Mr. Yu, I am the son of Rongguo Mansion,

Personally, I am Lin Yongyi's elder brother-in-law.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian returned to the Jia family with reluctance.

He threw the rag directly into the wind and it almost hit his follower's face.

The follower's face looked as if his father had died!

……

The Jia family's house has carved beams and painted buildings, and spots of light cast a mottled pattern on the blue bricks.

"Second Madam! Aunt Xue is here to visit!" Wang Xifeng had just finished her housework.

I am drinking tea to catch my breath.

There were so many things on her mind that she frowned slightly.

The person who went to Wang's house to inquire came back and said that the situation was also in a mess.

The Wang family now relies on only Wang Ziteng, the commander of the imperial guards.

The Wang family was also investigated!

Wang Xifeng was feeling uneasy.

I always feel like this isn't the end.

If the problem is checked but not dealt with, it is like a knife hanging over your head, making you tremble with fear all the time.

At this time, I heard that Aunt Xue came to visit, was it also about the Wang family's affairs?

Wang Xifeng pondered secretly in her heart.

"Please come in!" she ordered the maid.

He also stood up to greet him.

Seeing that Aunt Xue looked normal, although she was a little worried and tense, she was not overly frightened.

So Wang Xifeng was the first to ask, "Aunt, is this also about the Wang family's affairs?"

Aunt Xue was stunned and stopped walking.

There was a look of doubt on his face.

"Feng girl, what happened to the Wang family?"

"I was busy early in the morning and didn't know yet."

Wang Xifeng's face darkened.

"If Aunt doesn't know, then she doesn't know!"

"I'm not a big deal anyway."

"Then my aunt was busy all morning, how come she has time to come over now?"

Aunt Xue was relieved when she heard that it was not a big deal.

Then she changed the subject.

"It's like this. The Xue family came to inform us early this morning that the house has been repaired and tidied up."

"We have lived in the Jia family for some time. Besides, Bao girl is engaged now, so it is not convenient for her to live here any longer."

"There are a lot of things going on in the mansion right now. I was thinking, we should move there today!"

"It saves you the trouble!"

Wang Xifeng looked at Aunt Xue with a half-smile, her eyes carrying a hint of amusement.

This aunt really knows how to find the time.

As if casually asking, "Aunt is moving, does she need help? After all, there are only you and Bao sister two female relatives."

Aunt Xue quickly waved her hand to decline.

"Feng girl, you guys get busy!"

"This has caused you a lot of trouble."

Wang Xifeng stroked the back of the chair and said meaningfully, "Aunt, aren't you going to wait for the second wife to come back?"

Aunt Xue sighed, "Oh, I won't wait any longer."

"Let's move it first!"

"Sisters are very sympathetic. Maybe once we move, my sister will come back."

Wang Xifeng chuckled and said jokingly,

"Yes, I lament that I don't have such a good sister."

“It’s great to have such a rapport!”

"Since my aunt has decided, then whatever!"

"If you need anything, just tell me anytime."

Aunt Xue said politely, "It's not a big deal."

"The servants and guards are all complete."

"Besides, when Bao girl gets married, she will need the Xue family to come to see her off. I have also written a letter to ask them to come."

Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered with admiration.

He patted the armrest and asked,

"Aunt! Have you discussed this matter with Bao-mei?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. This is your sister Bao's idea."
