Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 40 A strange combination of circumstances and a change of destiny

Jia Rui was caught off guard, thinking that the other party was going to attack him, so he quickly hid aside.

But the pill seemed to have eyes, it drew a circle in mid-air, and threw it straight at Jia Rui's chest.

Although Jia Rui has practiced Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, his skill is still shallow. He is already gifted if he can dodge the first blow. He cannot dodge the second blow no matter what.

Instead, Jia Rui could only use the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu all over his body to the extreme.

The pill fell into Jia Rui's chest in the blink of an eye. There was neither the pain nor the backlash as imagined, and then it sank into Jia Rui's chest.

Afterwards, Jia Rui felt a coolness, which turned into a ball of breath, moving up and down his whole body.

He just felt refreshed, and the world in front of him seemed to become brighter. After that, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu running in his body seemed to be much more flexible.

As for the crippled Taoist, he smiled lightly at Jia Rui, and then flew away as soon as he flicked his sleeves.

Jia Rui was not happy because he got the panacea. Instead, he frowned and looked at the direction where the lame Taoist was leaving, his face was full of coldness.

It seems that he still underestimates the world. If the crippled Taoist priest had sneaked up on him just now, he might have succeeded.

In fact, Jia Rui is worrying unfoundedly.

With his current luck, if the lame Taoist wanted to hurt Jia Rui, he would have to pay a considerable price.

But Jia Rui didn't know this. He still wanted to quickly improve the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, at least to the eighth or ninth level, so that he could protect himself.

He sighed, turned around and went back home. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his grandmother, Mrs. Wang, happily talking to grandfather Jia Dairu!

"Today, I went to the old lady of Rongguo Mansion and met Aunt Xue again. She has already hinted to me that our family should propose marriage."

"Our brother Rui is finally getting married, and I can hold my grandson."

Mrs. Wang seemed to be extremely happy today and was a little incoherent. She sat there and muttered to herself.

Jia Dairu looked at his old wife and shook his head, but he did not stop her.

"Grandfather, grandmother, and grandson Jia Rui came to see me."

Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang raised their heads, and when they saw Jia Rui coming in dressed in military uniform, they immediately had smiles on their faces.

Mrs. Wang beckoned ahead of time and called Jia Rui to her side.

"Aunt Xue from Lixiangyuan received news today. In the past few days, grandma has sent someone to the door to settle this matter for you."

"Everything is thanks to grandma." Jia Rui also felt a little happy.

This is sitting on the side, Jia Dairu spoke.

"Today, three or four foreign officials came to pay homage, and offered charcoal homage, but let me return it to you."

Jia Dairu still has a little disdain for these official contacts.

After hearing this, Jia Rui scratched his head a little. You know, these are all money gifts, so it's a pity to let them go for nothing.

I don't know if it's because of the influence of the world of Red Mansions that Jia Rui has become greedy for money now.

However, Jia Rui didn't dare to refute Jia Dairu's words, so he said with a smile: "It's just a small matter, grandfather can figure it out."

Jia Dairu was quite satisfied with Sun Tzu's statement.

"It's good if you think like this. Now you've done a great job as an official. You must remember to be honest and upright, and you must not let down the high hopes that the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty have for you."

Although he disapproved in his heart, Jia Rui was still full of words.

"Yes, my grandson will definitely live up to his grandfather's teachings."

"Well, you are tired today, go back and rest first."

Jia Rui hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks, then left the main hall and went back to his room.

As soon as he came back, the little girl Ying Ge appeared beside him and began to change Jia Rui's home clothes.

Jia Rui is also a feudal lord now, so he stretched out his hand and fiddled with the little maid.

"Didn't the old lady change errands for you?" Jia Rui asked without saying a word.

"I don't know what's wrong, the old lady doesn't mention this matter these days." Brother Ying replied happily.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Rui understood that it was because he was getting bigger and bigger, and he was going to get married soon, so the old lady didn't mention this matter anymore, it seemed that she was going to let Brother Ying be her concubine .

After changing clothes and sending Brother Ying away, Jia Rui pulled out a box from under the bed, opened it, and there was glistening silver inside.

The silver is about 800 taels, which is the extra money Jia Rui got during this period.

This is only part of it, and most of it has been handed over to Mrs. Wang for family use and redemption of land.

No wonder everyone wanted to be an official, and he did what he said: Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes.

In just a few days, I had earned several thousand taels of silver. If it took me a year and a half, my little house wouldn't be able to hold any silver.

Touching the silver, Jia Rui had a thought, and then there was a flash of white light, and the silver in the box disappeared.

This was a transparent panel that appeared in front of Jia Rui.

Jia Rui didn't have any trouble and just clicked on the first row with his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Rui felt a surge of blood rising in his body, and then his body made "pop-pop" noises.

In a place where Jia Rui couldn't feel it, a strange power of rules came to him, expelling a mysterious disease from his body.

Jia Rui, who knew nothing about this, only felt that his strength and vitality had doubled again.

This sudden doubling of strength made Jia Rui a little intoxicated, but he soon sobered up.

Even though I am quite powerful now, I am still far from being as good as other immortals. I should continue to persevere honestly until one day I can soar into the sky.

After spending a few hundred taels of silver, Jia Rui's Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu has now reached the fourth level. Even in the world of martial arts, he can be regarded as a third-rate or fourth-rate master.

If it is in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber, as long as he does not meet immortals, Jia Rui can be regarded as an enemy of a hundred people.

Don’t underestimate this hundred-man enemy.

In real history, there are only four people who can be called the enemy of a hundred people.

They are: Xia Luqi, a famous general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Yang Zaixing, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, Ran Min, the king of Wudu, and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

All four of them once entered the enemy line alone, and killed more than a hundred enemies at a time. Among them, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was even more brave. He had created a record of hundreds of enemies four times.

Although Jia Rui's current ability is not as good as that of Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, it is still comparable to the other three.

Especially now that Jia Rui has practiced the Yang family's marksmanship to the point of proficiency, I'm afraid it's no different from that famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yang Zaixing.

Anyway, at this time, in a secluded alley not far away, a monk was looking in the direction of Jia Rui's house together.

"Brother Dao, you have done a poor job." Monk Laitou shook his head and said.

The lame Taoist no longer had the joy of getting back the Fengyue Baojian, and his face was full of sadness.

"I didn't expect Jia Rui to be so talented. It's just a pill, which can make him reborn and improve his strength to a higher level."

The two immortals had already noticed a surge of blood in Jia Rui's house, and with the rush of blood, his luck also increased a lot.

The two of them also believed that the reason why Jia Rui's power and luck soared was because of the pill given by the lame Taoist priest.

"I originally wanted to use this pill to correct the secrets, but I didn't expect that the changes in the secrets would become even more unfathomable."

It turns out that the lame leg was the pill given to Jia Rui. Although it was indeed as effective as he said, it had a shortcoming.

That is, if it is paired with the Lengxiang pill from Mo Chouhai, which is also from the illusory realm, it will produce mutual restraint.

The owners of the two pills will involuntarily hate each other.

In this way, the marriage between Jia Rui and Xue Baochai will be ruined, and Xue Baochai will be able to return to the life path arranged for her by the Fairy Jing Huan in the Taixu Illusion Realm and continue to hone the stubborn stone.

But he didn't expect that because Jia Rui used the system upgrade, the system directly turned the medicinal power of the pill in his body into Jia Rui's own strength.

Not only did this not cause any trouble to Jia Rui, but it actually made Jia Rui's physical fitness even more outstanding with the power of this pill, and I'm afraid he will be immune to all diseases in the future.
