Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 463 List

It turned out that the people Qin Shun asked Kou Gang to confess were all big shots in the court. If he confessed to them all this time, he would be in big trouble.

Qingshun looked at Kou Gang coldly, and then said: "I have captured all your family members. If you don't recruit them, I'm afraid the nine tribes will not be saved."

After hearing this, Kou Gang shivered. He looked up at Emotion's ruthless face, and finally lowered his head helplessly and said: "If Eunuch Qin can guarantee to leave a root for my family, I will risk my life." ”

It seems that Kou Gang still thinks that his family cannot escape the disaster, and just wants to leave a trace of incense.

Qin Shun nodded, and then said: "I will regard your youngest grandson as my adopted son and let him grow up in my house. This will also give you a way out."

Kou Gang was relieved when he heard this, and then he marked the confession as Qin Shun requested.

He knew that as soon as he pressed his fingerprints, seven or eight big shots in the court would be dead, and their families would be in trouble as well.

But for the sake of his own descendants, there was nothing he could do.

The little eunuch who followed Qin Shun picked up the confession and handed it to him.

Qin Shun picked up a few pieces of paper, flipped through it, and then said with great satisfaction: "You are quite sensible. In this case, our family will not embarrass you. In the last period of time, we will let you eat and drink well, and then have a good time." Walk."

After finishing speaking, Qin Shun left the prison with satisfaction and the confession.

Then he hurriedly entered the palace.

He entered the palace and then came to the Yangxin Hall. After the little eunuch announced, words came out from inside, and he dared to enter the palace door cautiously.

Afterwards, I followed the wall to the side hall and saw Jia Rui sitting there drinking tea and watching the maids dancing below.

Jia Rui usually did little entertainment in the palace, but during this period Xue Baochai also lived in the palace due to illness. Jia Rui often didn't go home for several days, so he added some entertainment activities.

Qin Shun did not dare to disturb Jia Rui, so he could only stand at the door and wait for the song and dance to end. Jia Rui waved away the maid and the piano player, and then he dared to quietly walk to Jia Rui's side.

"Your Majesty, I have obtained the confession. Please take a look at it."

Jia Rui glanced at him but said nothing. Qin Shun put a stack of paper in front of Jia Rui with great discernment.

Jia Rui held the tea cup in one hand and began to turn over the paper on the table with the other hand.

After flipping through the pages, Jia Rui paused for a moment when he found a name, then looked at Qin Shun and said, "Did he rebel too?"

Qin Shun could not hear the attitude in Jia Rui's tone, so he could only reply with a guilty conscience: "The names above are all confessed by Kou Gang. I don't know whether he participated in the rebellion or not."

Jia Rui banged his hand on the table and thought for a long time, still a little undecided.

It turns out that the person Jia Rui was referring to was Zhao Deen, the current Minister of Household Affairs.

The relationship between Zhao Deen and Jia Rui is actually good. They were both confidants of the Supreme Emperor.

There was no conflict between Zhao Deen and Jia Rui, and Zhao Deen was very cooperative with Jia Rui during Jia Rui's reign.

Because of this, Jia Rui didn't believe it when Zhao Deen's name appeared on it.

"Okay, put these things here with me first!" Jia Rui said lightly.

Qin Shun took a peek at Jia Rui and saw that Jia Rui had no other instructions, so he reluctantly withdrew.

When he left the Yangxin Hall and came under the red wall outside, Qin Shun felt his calves trembling.

It turned out that Qin Shun filled in several names on the name list privately.

This is also the case of Qin Shun pretending to be public to serve private interests and avenging private revenge.

However, since it was the first time to do such a big thing, I felt a little panicked, and I almost had my secret revealed in front of Jia Rui just now.

Besides, Jia Rui in the Yangxin Hall looked at the confession in his hand with a completely different attitude than before.

After reading it, Jia Rui threw the attack station on the table, got off the kang and walked back and forth on the floor several times.

Finally, Jia Rui came over to the Four Treasures of the Study and crossed out several names on the confession.

After that, Jia Rui waved to Hua Lan, who was waiting beside him.

Hualan immediately came to Jia Rui's side, said a blessing first, and then asked softly:

"Master, what are your orders?"

Jia Rui pointed to the names he had crossed out just now, "These people are still suspected. Let your people monitor them day and night."

It turns out that although Jia Rui temporarily let these people go, due to Qin Shun's misleading, Jia Rui also became suspicious of them.

So Jia Rui sent Hualan's men to monitor.

If these people under Hualan still can't pass the test, then Jia Rui can no longer be polite.

After Hua Lan said the Wan Fu, he stood aside silently.

Jia Rui stretched and said, "Why didn't I see Brother Ying today?"

You must know that Brother Ying and Hualan are both Jia Rui's maids, but they usually serve Xue Baochai.

This time Xue Baochai entered the palace, and the two of them followed him to wait on him.

Hua Lan pursed her lips and smiled, then said: "Brother and sister Ying seem to have gone to the Imperial Garden."

Jia Rui covered his forehead. There was really nothing he could do about Brother Ying. This little maid relied on her favor to become lawless.

She had only been in the palace for a few days, and she had already visited the entire palace.

"Let her be, I can't control it anymore." Jia Rui completely gave up on Brother Ying.

In fact, Jia Rui didn't realize that his feelings for Brother Ying were very complicated, including a master-servant relationship and a brother-sister relationship.

That's why Jia Rui can be very indulgent to Brother Ying.

Jia Rui walked out with his hands behind his back, and Hualan and Lao Li quickly followed behind.

Then a group of people came to the back hall of the Yangxin Hall, where Xue Baochai took care of himself.

When Jia Rui entered the door, he saw Xue Baochai, lying on the bed with an old doctor taking her pulse.

Since Xue Baochai entered the palace, Jia Rui has spread the word that Xue Baochai should be given Ping'an pulse every day at the Imperial Hospital.

Jia Rui did not disturb the doctor, but stood behind the doctor and waited for a while.

After about a cup of tea, the imperial doctor withdrew his hand from Xue Baochai's wrist.

Brother Ying next to him quickly took away the handkerchief placed on Xue Baochai's pulse gate.

The purpose of this handkerchief is to prevent the imperial physician from the imperial hospital from having skin-to-skin contact with Xue Baochai.

This was already considered good. During the time when Jia Rui first entered the palace, the Imperial Hospital even introduced a thread-pulse diagnosis method to avoid suspicion.

Jia Rui didn't believe this at all. What could be diagnosed with a thin wire from such a distance? How sensitive it feels.

Therefore, Jia Rui changed his method and replaced the hanging silk pulse diagnosis with a handkerchief.

"How's it going? Are you feeling better today?"

The imperial doctor was startled when he heard Jia Rui's voice. Jia Rui had just come in. The imperial doctor was so focused on diagnosing his pulse that he didn't notice it.

At this time, he quickly turned around and saluted Jia Rui, and then said: "Madam's foundation is very good. After this period of recovery, she can already walk a few steps in the yard, but she can't be tired."

Jia Rui nodded with satisfaction, then sat in front of the bed, looked at the smiling Xue Baochai and said, "She has been raised well. Our little daughter is stable this time."

Xue Baochai touched his swollen belly and said, "What if it's a son?"

Jia Rui had a headache when he heard about his son.

The boys in his house are more and more naughty, especially the boss. Jia Rui is completely helpless now.

If the old man Jia Dairu hadn't taken over, I'm afraid Jia Rui would have beaten his eldest son Jia Xuan seven or eight times a day.

"It's better to have a daughter, I just like little girls."

Xue Baochai believed Jia Rui's words. The most favored person in their house was not Jia Xuan, the eldest son, but Jia Rui, the daughter of Second Sister You.

This little girl is innocent, lively, and very cute. Jia Rui feels itchy after not seeing her for almost a day.

Everyone in the house was a little jealous about this, and sometimes even Xue Baochai was a little jealous of this little girl.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you found a suitable husband for Xiangyun girl?" Xue Baochai asked, changing the subject.

After hearing this, Jia Rui patted his forehead and said, "I forgot, I have been busy with my previous affairs during this period, and all other things have been forgotten."

After finishing speaking, Jia Rui stood up and walked around the room a few times, and then said: "I am going to check out the new scholars during this period. If any of them are talented, I will match them with Xiangyun girls."

After hearing this, Xue Baochai thought it was pretty good, "Then I don't have to worry about it. You should handle this matter quickly, otherwise Daiyu will never be able to return to Rongguo Mansion."

"Why are you so annoyed with Jia Baoyu?"

"Haha, this phoenix egg comes to our house every day to look for Daiyu. Before I entered the palace, I saw that Daiyu's attitude had softened, but I just couldn't lose face. As long as Shi Xiangyun gets married, she should be able to marry Baoyu. Go back." Xue Baochai was still worried about the sisters in Rongguo Mansion.

"Okay then, I will ask the people from the Ministry of Etiquette to send me the list when I go back tomorrow."

Jia Rui was chatting with Xue Baochai in the palace, but outside the palace it became a bloody storm.

It turned out that as Jia Rui's approval spread, the entire capital was in chaos. The Jinyi Army, the Forbidden Army, and the Infantry Commander's Yamen all sent people to ransack homes everywhere.

This time they are not just some small figures, they are all big shots in the dynasty. In addition to the relatively stable cabinet, one of the six ministers has already joined, and this is the minister of punishment.

This person can be regarded as an unforeseen disaster. During Jia Rui's great purge, he was taken down by Jia Rui just because he got a little closer to the emperor, and he also faced the fate of being executed.

But Jia Rui was not kind to these people, because keeping these people would make him unhappy.

In addition to these big bosses, many middle-level officials of the third and fourth grades were also implicated. It can be said that one-third of the officials in the capital were eliminated by Jia Rui.

This time, it can be said that it is an important measure for Jia Rui to consolidate his position.

As long as it can be completed safely this time, Jia Rui's right to speak in the court will be greatly consolidated. It can be said that the central government is under Jia Rui's control.
