Uncle Hong Lou Rong

Chapter 329
When Uncle Rong was invited to Xue's courtyard, he saw Aunt Xue sitting next to Xue Pan wiping her tears, looking very distressed.Then look at the guy lying on the kang head, his face is swollen and bruised, although there is no major trauma, he will not be seen for a short time.

Poor thing, it looks so unique, and it's a little funny.

Baochai, who was on the other hand, had an unharmed expression on his face when he fell down. Seeing Brother Rong coming, Fang said, "How can I find an imperial doctor? He is so afraid that he won't be able to leave the house for several days."

Brother Rong also didn't know the inside story, so he asked the reason out of curiosity.Baochai also couldn't say anything, but said: "When he was sent back, he was not sober. Let the servant girl wipe his body and wash his face, and then he opened his mouth and said that he was beaten by Liu Xianglian. Presumably it was A few people fell out while drinking together, so they got hit a few times like this."

This is not easy.

They even hit people in the face.

Aunt Xue, who loves the baby over there, heard this, and hurried over, asking Brother Rong to send someone to lock Liu Xianglian here.

Brother Rong frowned, but the lock can be locked.It's just that Xue Pan was already close to Liu Xianglian, Baoyu and others, so it would be an exaggeration to lock them up just because they turned their faces while drinking.

When Baochai heard this, she hurriedly persuaded her, "It's not a big deal, but they were drinking together, and they behaved unnaturally after drinking. It is true that someone who is drunk will be beaten a few more times. Besides, the lawless people in our family are also It is well known to everyone. My mother is just distressed, and it is easy to vent her anger. When my brother recovers and can go out in three to five days, I will naturally prepare a host and call that person to make amends for my brother in front of everyone. Now my mother is the first to tell everyone about a big event, but it is obvious that my mother is partial to spoiling him and allowing him to make troubles and attract people. Today, I accidentally suffered a loss, and my mother is just like this.

After hearing this, Aunt Xue said, "My son! You figured it out after all, I was confused for a while."

Baochai laughed and said, "That's good. He's not afraid of his mother, and he doesn't listen to people's persuasion. It seems like a day. He has suffered two or three losses, and he is fine."

Aunt Xue nodded, then raised her eyebrows to look at Brother Rong, and turned around to look at her son in a little embarrassment.

Brother Rong also entered the room again, only to see Xue Pan lying awake on the kang, yelling: "Go and demolish his house, kill him, and sue him!"

Aunt Xue stopped her servants, and said to Xue Pan, "Xiang Lian was drunk for a while, but now she is sober, regretting it too late, and ran away in fear of crime."

Since then, Xue Pan no longer said anything.Just seeing Brother Rong coming over, he looked ashamed and turned around quickly, with his face turned inside and his back wide open to everyone.

Seeing this, Brother Rong said to Baochai, "Although it's not a serious injury, the imperial doctor has to take a good look at it. Recently, I have come to know two priests from the imperial hospital, and I have sent someone to invite them. Drink a few Secondary medicine, take some things and touch it, it should be cured in three to five days."

Baochai nodded.

Aunt Xue didn't turn her head back, she just said in a voice: "Brother Lao Rong has come all this way."

Rong Ge'er replied awkwardly: "My aunt said so, it's a natural thing."

Aunt Xue didn't return either.Just turning his back to Brother Rong, he remembered something, and a blush of embarrassment quietly appeared on his face.

Embarrassing people cause embarrassing things, Brother Rong is not at ease here.I wanted to have a good chat with Xue Pan, his distant cousin and brother-in-law, but Xue Pan hid himself and dared not meet people face to face, and Aunt Xue was there again.

Brother Rong also quietly said a few warm words to Baochai, and left only with an excuse to meet the imperial doctor.Entering the Rongguo mansion through the back door of the Xue family's courtyard, before walking further, I saw Baoyu's cat body in a corner.

"Brother Rong came from Xue's house? How is Brother Pan?"

Brother Rong asked curiously, "Why is Uncle Bao here?"

Baoyu also smelled of wine, so he smiled sarcastically and replied, "Brother Pan is drinking wine with us today."

Brother Rong had already expected it the moment he saw Baoyu.Ask: "What's the matter? Drinking well, and suddenly fighting?"

In this way, Jia Rong learned the whole story from Baoyu.

It turned out that because Liu Xianglian planned to leave Beijing recently, Baoyu wanted to "save the bureau" and invite Liu Xianglian to see him off with wine.Unexpectedly, Xue Pan was not notified, but Uncle Pan found someone to inquire about the news, and looked for it on his own.

Originally, the last time they went to Zhuang Shanglai's house to help, Liu Xianglian didn't like Xue Pan a little bit, so Liu Xianglian often avoided Xue Pan.Seeing Xue Pan coming today, Xianglian looked at Baoyu's face and thought that Xue Pan was Baoyu's aunt and cousin, so she gave her enough face.

Later, when Xue Pan joined the banquet, it was all normal drinking.When the matter of Liu Erlang's trip to the south was mentioned for a while, Uncle Pan felt uncomfortable.It doesn't hurt to play a rogue a few times.

But after everyone drank, Xue Pan became more and more impatient.I just looked Xianglian up and down with my eyes, and the more I thought about the things in my heart, the happier I was. I didn't need to be persuaded by anyone, and I drank and ate and ate on my own. Nine points.

Later, Liu Xianglian sent someone to give Uncle Pan a letter and made an appointment outside the city.

But he didn't think that when Baoyu and the others looked at him again, he would look like he was beaten.

After hearing what happened, Brother Rong could only shake his head helplessly.He asked again: "In that case, he deserves what he deserves. Then where is Liu Xianglian now?"

Baoyu said nervously: "After Xianglian beat Brother Pan, the governor made a big fuss, and we didn't want to get tired, so we left Beijing early."

"There's nothing serious about it." Brother Rong curled his lips.

Is the reputation of these companies really so bad?In the past, Brother Rong only heard other people's impressions of the Jia family from the Prince's Mansion, but he didn't expect that the white people would be so thoughtful when facing the Duke's Mansion.

The Xue family is no longer the Hou's residence.

"Regardless of whether Liu Xianglian left or not, let him rest assured that the Xue family will not pursue his beating. The Jia family will not help to harm him either. There is no need to be so serious about ordinary trivial matters." Brother Rong said so.

However, his heart knew it.The more powerless a person is, the more he worries when thinking about problems.Liu Xianglian left immediately because of fear, but he actually understood this feeling.

Although I thought that I didn't even have a word of apology, I felt a little unhappy in my heart.

It was also because of Xue Baochai's relationship that he stood up for the kiss and didn't stand up for more.

However, in such a society, for anyone, no matter how reasonable they are, it may not be possible to obtain justice.Liu Xianglian was afraid, but Jia Rong hadn't been afraid before.

It's only now that the fear has faded a little.

On the same day, Brother Rong invited the imperial doctor to enshrine it to Xue Pan, and it was indeed not serious.Fortunately, Baoyu had complicated thoughts and drank a lot of wine that day, but she didn't think about La Rong's visit to Yihong Courtyard.

In this way, Brother Rong can be regarded as keeping the tens of millions of little things today.

Only two days have passed.The harvest and weighing of the water conservancy camp and field office were completed early, and the compilation and summary of agricultural books have also entered the next part.However, on this day, Duan Yu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, went to the Water Conservancy Camp Tian Mansion to summon Brother Rong into the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion.

Brother Rong saw that Prince Zhongshun's complexion was not good today, partly because of his illness, and partly because of his mood.He said embarrassingly: "Master Thirteen, relax, don't be annoyed by the trivial matters outside, the most important thing is to ensure your health."

Prince Zhongshun let out a cold snort, and summoned Duan Yu and others to leave, and even sent out the inner eunuchs who were serving him.

The doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, leaving no gaps.Among them, only Brother Rong and Prince Zhongshun were present, no one else.In the dimly lit room, Prince Zhongshun's expression darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you have anything to do with the rebellious party in Pingan Prefecture?"

"Where did the Thirteenth Lord come from?" Brother Rong's heart trembled inexplicably, but the expression on his face did not change at all, as if it was the first time he heard about the rebellious party in Ping'an Prefecture.

Prince Zhongshun stared at him closely. Even though Prince Zhongshun was already very thin, his eyes were still sharp and energetic.Like an eagle or a tiger, his spirit is frightening.

I only heard Prince Zhongshun say politely: "Now Lin Ruhai, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is ordered to go to Ping'an Prefecture. Today, Ping'an Prefecture has a quick performance. .Even the Jiedu Envoy almost died on the bed of his concubine. Did you do this...?"

"The Thirteenth Master thinks highly of the boy. The boy doesn't even know a rebellious party in Ping'an Prefecture, so how can he instigate it? Besides, if the Jia family really has any more serious crimes and is held by the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture, all of them will be punished this time." The police officer is a relative of the Jia family, as long as he helps cover one or two things. Why bother?"

Brother Rong said aggrievedly: "The thirteenth master was not in Beijing at the time, and the kid learned about the Ping'an Prefecture incident, and went to the palace to report the present. The Jia family was the one who was bullied. Yes. Which of the recent incidents is that Jiedu of Ping’an Prefecture made himself set fire to his own yard.”

It is very common to burn your own home.

King Zhongshun didn't believe his nonsense. Instead, his face became darker and darker, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's a good one who doesn't know the rebellious party. Who gave you the account books of the salt department's corruption in Yangzhou City back then? Back then, Taoyuan County Wharf , who helped to light the hundreds of boats and objects of your Jia family?"

Brother Rong was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Prince Zhongshun with wide eyes.This... Prince Zhongshun actually...

Then I heard the voice of Prince Zhongshun.

"Do you really think that this king knows nothing?"

Brother Rong's ears were buzzing, and his head was already sweating coldly.No, not already.But the back was already wet.The fingers were no longer controlled by the nerves of the brain, and the ten fingers were extremely stiff, as if they would convulse.

He stood there, motionless.I want to kneel down, but I can't kneel down.

Can't admit it, absolutely can't admit it.

Such a thought kept ringing in his mind, and he couldn't admit it even if he was killed, unless Prince Zhongshun produced actual evidence.Otherwise, you will not admit it even if you die.

As the saying goes: if you are honest, you will be lenient, and you will be imprisoned; if you resist, you will be strict, and you will go home for the New Year.

Brother Rong was fighting fiercely in his heart, and his nerves were tense like a fully drawn bowstring.

"You bastard, don't forget. The governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Sun Heting, was recommended by the king to the present. He is now building seawalls in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is investigating the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. Didn't Sun Heting write to you earlier? He also said you It has no connection with the rebellious party in Ping'an Prefecture."

I rely on.Brother Rong relaxed his mind.It turned out that it was Sun Heting who told Prince Zhongshun about Jiangnan, and he thought it was Prince Zhongshun who knew everything about himself and the Holy Church.

Brother Rong sneered and said: "The boy forgot about this, after all, he couldn't hide it from the Thirteenth Master. At that time, the boy had no choice but to send the account book to those rebels who mistook me for their King Ming. Later Thirteenth Master also knows about Tianwu. The Governor of Water Transportation at that time was too deceitful, you can't sit still and watch the water conservancy projects in Huaiyang stagnate, right?"

"So you conspired with the rebel party?"

"No... It's not a conspiracy, it's the boy... Uh. The boy used the name of King Ming to trick the rebellious party to help stage a bitter plan." Brother Rong laughed.

Jia Rong finally understood that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and there is no absolutely perfect strategy.No matter how smart you are, there will always be moments of miscalculation.

On that day, Brother Rong also felt that this was not his miscalculation.If you just heard it from Sun Heting, it is far from colluding with the rebel party.Thinking about the fact that the Thirteenth Master was questioning himself behind closed doors today, he knew it in his heart immediately, and he stopped sweating like that just now.

King Zhongshun's complexion also gradually improved. Although he snorted angrily, he asked calmly: "We know that they are a rebellious party, why didn't you let the boy Nuo lead the navy to surround them when he got the account books?"

"Eh..." Brother Rong scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "At that time, the boy was guarded by them, and he had no force, and he was even more timid. He just wanted to take the account book and make meritorious service. It would be better to give Sun Heting such a powerful person as Master Sun."

"Satisfied with nonsense, not a word of honesty." King Zhongshun scolded lightly: "These rebellious parties are endangering Dayan and causing harm to the people. You should arrest one by one, and arrest one by one. Since you have asked the help of the rebellious party, why not Think about killing them to avoid future troubles."

"Uh... this..." Brother Rong was speechless, and really didn't know what to say.

He also heard King Zhongshun say: "Fortunately, Sun Heting has a heart for this king, and he also appreciates your talents. Otherwise... If this is found out by others, although you only deal with the rebellious party, you only use the rebellious party. But now In other people's mouths, and then written by transcribing, you are the person who conspired with the rebellious party. What's more, you will be described as the leader of the rebellious party. Even if you secretly kill all the insiders!"

This is definitely the heartfelt words of Prince Zhongshun.Brother Rong felt a little moved when he heard it.

Lord Thirteen is really a good man.

He replied solemnly: "Boy, I would like to listen to Master Thirteen's teachings. If there is a next time, I will definitely wipe out all future troubles."

"Want another time?"

A loud curse came from above, accompanied by a loud sound of ceramic shattering, Brother Rong was startled.Zhongshun Wang Lian coughed a few times and said again: "How long can I protect you?"

"Boy... I want to stay with Lord Thirteen forever and benefit the common people."

"Get out." King Zhongshun cursed, but couldn't help sighing, looked at him a few more times and said: "Do a few more practical things for the common people, and bring your daughter-in-law into the mansion to accompany your mother when you have free time."
