Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 25

After Ma Tao fell to the ground, he was completely stunned.

It should be said that this Ma Tao has also been trained by his family, and he has some skills.

Ever since he joined the Dragon Guards, he has looked down on his colleagues very much. He thinks that among these people, he is the only one who can really fight, and the others are just scraps.

Even when Jia Rui came some time ago, he didn’t notice it, because Jia Rui’s height is not tall, and he looks weak like a scholar, and it seems that he spent money to come in (he guessed it right) .

Ma Tao has always looked down on such people.

But when Jia Rui slapped him just now, he felt a huge force from Jia Rui's arm to his body.

Although he said that he was not prepared, he knew in his heart that even if he tried his best, he might not be able to stop the huge force.

"How is it? Are you convinced now?"

Jia Rui did not look at Ma Tao who fell on the ground, but said to the other Longjing Lieutenants.

These Captain Long looked at the frail Jia Rui in front of them, with a hint of admiration on their faces.

Although these people come in through money or connections, they are men after all, and they respect the strong from the bottom of their hearts.

"Now that we're all convinced, starting from today, all Long Lieutenants who are not on duty must train for half a day."

Jia Rui's tone was very serious, and the Long Jinwei below all looked solemn.

"Okay, let me change shifts for those who should be on errands, and practice formation here for those who don't have errands."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he left the square with a flick of his sleeves and returned to the main hall.

Huang Bingren looked at Long Jinwei who was a little dazed below, and hurriedly added something.

"The commander has already spoken. Why are you still standing there and not taking action?"

The Captain Long below suddenly realized what he was doing, and each of them started doing their own thing.

Some people went to the clerk to sign, and then hurriedly lined up to go to the palace to replace the colleague Long Jinwei who was on duty yesterday.

Some were reluctant to form a formation in the square according to their affiliation and carry out so-called drills.

Seeing that they were all moving, Huang Bingren quickly trotted into the main hall again, and arrived at Jia Rui's side.

"Master Jia's brothers have begun to take action. Why don't you take a break?"

"Well, I woke up early this morning and happened to be a little sleepy."

With a smile on his face, Huang Bingren quickly took Jia Rui to the back hall. There was a small elegant garden here, which was a special resting place for Commander Long Jin.

As Huang Bingren walked in, he introduced the facilities in this small courtyard to Jia Rui.

"Master Jia, this small courtyard was built by the previous Commander Long Jinwei. It seems that he spent a lot of money to build this small courtyard."

Looking at the exquisite and luxurious courtyard, Jia Rui kept nodding.

This small yard is much more beautiful than my own home, it is completely on two levels.

If it weren't for the fact that this is a yamen and it is inconvenient to live here, Jia Rui would have wished to move his family here.

Then Huang Bingren led Jia Rui to the side of the main room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw two pretty maids there offering blessings to Jia Rui.

"What's going on here?" Jia Rui said to Huang Bingren beside him with fake anger.

"Sir, you work here. Sometimes you have to have someone to take care of you when you have a break. I bought these two girls specifically to take care of you."

Speaking of this, Huang Bingren took another step forward, whispered into Jia Rui's ear and said, "My lord, these two girls have been trained, and they are both clean."

After hearing this, Jia Rui coughed, and then said in an official tone: "How can this be possible? I have a clean sleeve, and I never like my subordinates to do this."

"Yes, yes, I know Master Jia is incorruptible, but as the chief officer, there must be someone to serve him, right? Master Jia should reluctantly accept these two women, otherwise they will not know who will be harassed by them after they go back. Woolen cloth?"

"Well, since it's so pitiful, let's stay." Jia Rui pretended to show a trace of pity.

As soon as Huang Bingren saw that the matter was done, he immediately winked at the two women.

These two girls have indeed been trained, so there is nothing to say about their eyesight.

Immediately, he came over to hold Jia Rui's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and supported him on the bed.

Huang Bingren smiled lightly, and then said: "Lord Jia, the handover is over, so I will leave now."

Jia Rui is currently being pinched between two gentle mountains, so he has no time to deal with Huang Bingren, so he just waved his hand casually, and then started teasing with the two maids.

Huang Bingren snickered for a while, and then quietly walked out of the side room to the yard.

However, he stood in the yard, looking at the place where he used to rest, which now belonged to someone else, and there was a trace of melancholy on his face, and he finally left with a sigh.

Jia Rui stayed in Long Jinwei's Yamen until noon. He ate lunch specially prepared for him by the Yamen's chef, and then he prepared to go to the palace to check the post.

This time Liu Hai's entry into the palace was quite smooth, and when he came to the gate of the palace, he showed the badge of Commander Long Jinwei, and the guards at the gate stopped him.

But immediately two eunuchs came over, followed Jia Rui one by one, and went straight to the Dragon Head Palace.

This is also a rule.

This means that the Supreme Emperor lives in Longshou Palace now, and Long Jinwei is the Supreme Emperor's confidant, guarding the Supreme Emperor's safety day and night. It is because of this that Jia Rui can enter the inner courtyard of the deep palace.

If there was no Supreme Emperor and the emperor was still in power, it would be impossible for a man like Jia Rui to enter the palace.

After arriving at the Dragon's Head Palace, Jia Rui walked around the Dragon's Head Palace back and forth, checked all the guard posts, and found that these people were still doing their duty, so he was relieved.

Just as Jia Rui finished checking the post and was about to leave, a eunuch suddenly came and stopped him.

"Master Jia, Master Jia, please go slowly."

Jia Rui stopped in his tracks and looked back to see a little eunuch whom he recognized but didn't know the name.

Before he became the leader of the Dragon Palace, Jia Rui's identity was not a big deal in the eyes of the little eunuch who served the Supreme Emperor. Naturally, no one paid attention to him.

But now it's different, Jia Rui looks like the emperor's favorite, these little eunuchs don't dare to despise Jia Rui anymore.

"What's the matter with this little father-in-law?"

"The Supreme Emperor has a decree, and Xuan Jiarui has an audience."

When Jia Rui heard the call from the Supreme Emperor, he did not dare to salute. He quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty Jia Rui has accepted the order."

Then, Jia Rui followed the little eunuch to the side hall of Dragon Head Palace.

At the entrance of the main hall, Dai Quan, the chief eunuch, was waiting for Jia Rui.

When he saw Jia Rui coming, he quickly blinked at Jia Rui, and then slightly sullen his face.

Jia Rui was baffled by the other party, what was he doing?Make faces at yourself?

Seeing Jia Rui in a daze, Dai Quan felt a little helpless. This little guy still had no experience, so he quickly took a step forward and whispered in his ear: "Master is in a bad mood, be careful."

As soon as Jia Rui heard this, he immediately understood. What did Dai Quan mean by being so stern with him just now?
He didn't dare to speak in front of the main hall, he could only lightly nodded to Dai Quan with a grateful smile on his face.

After that, he followed the little eunuch into the main hall.
