Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 54: Big Brother Missed! How much is the face of an imperial official worth?

At this time, many people had gathered outside.

Is there excitement? Of course there are people watching the excitement.

The Prince of Nan'an was in the crowd, chatting and laughing with the young man next to him while glancing over at him.

If it really doesn't work, then we have to resort to underhand tactics! Promise to pay compensation first, and then secretly steal the jewel? Not right, not right!

If it really doesn't work, why don't you stand up yourself?

By pretending to be a dandy, could it be possible that he is doing more harm than good?

He is now one with the Lin family and cannot be separated.

……

The people around him also kept shaking their heads and sighing in their hearts.

The water and soil in Yangzhou can only support fat toads, but it cannot support a censor!

Look at this censor, he's getting into trouble as soon as he arrives.

This is a stinking pit trap. No matter how you walk, you will fall down.

If you just stand still you'll stink.

"This officer, what crime should he be punished for insulting an official appointed by the imperial court?" At this time, a clear child's voice sounded, with the sound of golden swords.

"My mother didn't beat them because of the business, but because they insulted the court officials and the imperial censor. What crime should they be punished for?"

Lin Daiyu had to stand up. She didn't want to be famous, but she couldn't embarrass her mother.

"Really?" The chief of patrol turned towards the child who was speaking.

Interesting! After the old one is beaten, the young one comes?

"Why did she insult me? Let me listen!" The chief of the patrol gestured and scratched his ears.

Lin Daiyu watched the actions of the patrol chief, but didn't take it seriously. Her voice was still as sharp as a knife, advancing with each blow.

"She said that the censor just had a good tongue, and she even said that she wanted to pull out the censor's tongue."

"The function of our imperial censors is to supervise and investigate, impeach illegal activities, and report to the emperor."

"It is the tongue of the court's supervision, and this lady said she wanted to pull out the court's tongue."

"Is this dissatisfaction with the court, dissatisfaction with the supervision of the emperor?"

When she said this, her voice became even more excited.

"She is so dissatisfied and doesn't know how to restrain herself. She even said that she is the wife of Governor Fang. Could it be that Governor Fang ordered this?"

"Is Governor Fang's dissatisfaction with His Majesty so obvious?"

"Everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking. Does Governor Fang want to follow suit?"

……

The sound was deafening and everyone in the audience was shocked.

After listening to the young master's words, let alone the jeweled woman.

Even the chief of police stood up straight and stopped being so nonchalant.

She can't be allowed to say any more.

Next, we have to talk about Governor Fang's rebellion.

If things get serious, no one can handle it!

The crowd watching the excitement outside were also stunned. They didn’t expect this!

The son of the censor has been able to speak with a sharp tongue since he was young.

"This time, the Salt Inspector really clashed with Governor Fang."

"Now Yangzhou will have something interesting to watch."

"And that lady is from the Cheng family."

"Which Cheng family?"

"Isn't he the chief salt merchant?"

"Oh my god? That's Governor Fang's wife, Mrs. Ru?"

"Yes! He is rich and I heard that he is arrogant and domineering in the mansion. It is said that the former wife of the governor's mansion died, and this person is related to it."

"You can't just say that."

"Yes! Yes! Yes, we shouldn't say anything. We won't say anything."

"You can only survive in Yangzhou if you talk less and have more money."

I couldn't hear the discussions of people outside the door.

The chief of the patrol was very polite and stretched out his hand to stop Lin Daiyu from going any further.

"You are talking nonsense. I didn't insult the imperial censor. I was talking about your tongue. How can a little kid like you represent the imperial censor?"

"Can you represent His Majesty?"

The lady was indeed an expert in the field, her tongue was so quick that it was shocking, and I immediately thought of something to refute her.

The chief of police was helpless, wondering when this would ever end.

Can this matter be talked about over and over again?

Lin Daiyu looked at the woman as if she were a fool.

"I am my father's son. My body and hair are from my parents. If you pull out my tongue, aren't you pulling out my father's tongue?"

"Pull out my father's tongue. My father is an official appointed by the court. Doesn't he want to pull out the court's tongue?"

"Are you so careless? Who encouraged you to do that?"

Lin Yongan looked at his sister with admiration.

So domineering!

Jia Min seemed not to recognize this daughter. Is this my daughter?

Could it be that my husband is also so elegant and responsible in the yamen?

There was a gleam in Jia Min's eyes.

Even the Prince of Nan'an stopped talking to the young master next to him.

This girl is becoming more and more interesting!

This is a case of the disciple surpassing the master.

Why is such a talent a girl? If it were a boy, I could take him out to play every day.

He glanced at Lin Yongan and curled his lips.

The young man next to him also praised him, pouting and sighing, "Brother Lin, I can imagine how difficult your life is."

"If I had a brother like this, I would beat him up eight times a day."

"If you can't argue, you have to fight."

"Otherwise, you would have ended up like this." After saying that, he glanced at the Prince of Nannan.

Patting his shoulder, he said, "But we didn't know each other until we fought. We will be brothers from now on."

"My brother's business is my business. If you need to beat someone up in the future, just let me know."

……

In the jewelry shop, the chief of police took a look at the wife of Governor Fang.

There is no way, this guy has run out of words.

"Then young master, how do you think we should resolve this matter?" He handed the initiative to the young censor.

Lin Daiyu said, "Brother, how much is the face of an official appointed by the court worth?"

"Let her take it?"

"After we get it, we will pay their medical expenses."

"We are a reasonable family. Right, mother?"

Her mother, Jia Min,...

Jia Min looked at Lin Daiyu and now she seemed like a rare treasure.

Alas! This precious treasure is so aggressive, I am afraid that my future husband’s family will find it difficult to accept it!

There’s no other way, I’ll teach you slowly later!

I don't know if I can make it back?

His mind was full of thoughts, and he found his voice again, "Sir, my son is right, and that is what I meant."

The head of the police said, "If you say so, this matter will be difficult to handle!"

"How much is face worth? Some faces are worthless, some are priceless. It is priceless, but it is worth many lives."

"Let me tell you a plan. If you think it's suitable, then listen to it. If it's not suitable, this is a major case, and I, a humble official, may not be able to make a judgment."

"We have to go to the lobby and ask the master to judge."

The chief of police nodded when he saw Jia Min and Mrs. Fang Jiaru.

Then he pointed at Mrs. Ru.

"You pay the censor's wife five thousand taels of silver to buy the face of an official appointed by the court, and she will pay you five hundred taels of silver for the medical expenses. What do you think?"

Upon hearing the verdict, Mrs. Ru's long nails dug into her flesh.

This is painful and must be remembered. We cannot dwell on this matter any more. If we do dwell on it, we will have to argue about whether to oppose or not.

Even if the debate is won, this question is likely to take root! Too sensitive!

This can only be done for now, we will see what happens, there is still a long way to go...

"I agree." She bit her lips until they bled and uttered three words.

Jia Min also accepted it with pleasure.

Since both parties agreed, the transaction was quick.

The maid behind Madam Ru took out a silver note for five thousand taels, and Jia Min handed over a silver note for five hundred taels.

The maid grabbed the banknote, turned around and followed their mistress without saying a word.

Before leaving, Mrs. Ru looked back at Jia Min again.

I thought to myself, I was careless this time, I won’t do it again next time.

Five thousand taels of silver is nothing. I lost the initiative, was unable to help, and lost face.

This is a big deal.
