Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 59 Recruited
"Uncle Rui, don't use the stick, I will."

After saying this, Lai Shangrong's whole body was limp like a deflated ball, and his spirit was gone.

Jia Rui was satisfied after hearing his statement, and then asked the government servant to find a scribe.

"Take it."

"Master, this matter has nothing to do with my grandma, it is all handled by my father."

"What did you do?"

Lai Shangrong felt guilty for a while, looked up at Jia Rui, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "You were disrespectful to my grandma some time ago. My father was very angry and always wanted to teach you a lesson."

"But your official position is getting bigger and bigger. My father can't do anything about you. Finally, he thought of Xue Pan to teach you a lesson, so I can show you some embarrassment."

"However, my father knows that with his size, if he offends you, there will be no good end, so that's why he wanted to lure Xue Pan to King Zhongshun to open a gambling stall."

"I want to embarrass you with the help of King Zhongshun, and if possible, I can swindle some money from Xue Pan."

This time things are right.

But there is still a question, how did Lai Da know the people in Prince Zhongshun's palace?

You know, the Jia family and King Zhongshun are not on the same line, and the relationship between the two parties is even very cold.

Jia Rui rolled his eyes, as if he understood something. It seems that Lai Da has been bought by King Zhongshun, and may even be a spy placed by King Zhongshun in Jia's house.

This all makes sense. In Dream of Red Mansions, the Jia family was defeated in the end, but the Lai family was not implicated in any way. Lai Shangrong even became an official.

In the end, Jia Zheng helped Jia Mu's coffin back to Jinling. Since the money was not available, he wanted to borrow some money from Lai Shangrong, but Lai Shangrong only took out 50 taels. Arrogant.

But these are matters of Rongguo Mansion and have nothing to do with him. He just wants to beat the dog to show its owner.

But there is not much to do with Lai Da on this matter, after all, it can only be regarded as tempting people to gamble, and there is no big crime in this ancient times.

"Apart from these, has your father not done anything else?"

Jia Rui is going to beat Lai Da to death at once, so he must find conclusive evidence.

Lai Shangrong rolled his eyes and understood in his heart that Jia Rui was going to put his family to death.

If he told what his father did, then several heads would not be enough to cut off.

At that time, not to mention that he is an official, it will be lucky to not be implicated.

So Lai Shangrong gritted his teeth this time, no matter how Jia Rui tortured him, he never said a word.

Jia Rui can't do anything about this guy now.

At this time, Ma Tao quietly walked to Jia Rui's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, don't you know Wang Hao, the commander of the Jinyi Army?"

Jia Rui finally remembered this reminder and understood it at the same time.

My own people are amateurs when it comes to punishment, but Jin Yijun is an expert.

The Jinyi Army used torture in a variety of ways, one set of one set.

"How did I forget about this? You took my post to find Wang Hao, the commander of the Jinyi Army, and said that I have important criminals to be interrogated here, and I will call some master torturers from him."

"The officer understands."

Then Ma Tao withdrew.

Jia Rui didn't want to wait in this dungeon because it was too smelly and the environment was too harsh, so he covered his nose and walked out of the dungeon and went back to his back office to wait.

When it was almost time to leave the office, Jin Yiwei finally sent some torture experts.

These masters followed Jia Rui's orders and went to the dungeon to take a look, then came out and said to Jia Rui:
"My lord, today's punishment is too much. If the punishment is carried out again, the prisoner may not be able to bear it. It is better to let him rest for two days, and then it will not be too late to use the punishment."

In the eyes of these Jinyi Army masters, the punishment on Jia Rui's side is simply rough.

Just beating it down with a stick in a daze like this, or using a soldering iron to burn it up, the prisoner's body will not be able to bear it after a few strokes.

If you run into someone who is stubborn, you will be finished before you even have to wait for the move.

Jia Rui touched his forehead and said helplessly, "Then let him rest for two days, but you don't need to go back to the Jinyi Army for a few days, just stay here with me."

"As ordered."

These masters of torture in the Jinyi Army did not hesitate at all, and immediately agreed.

It turned out that when he came, Wang Hao, the commander of the Jinyi Army, had already instructed him to follow Jia Rui's orders after he went to Captain Long, and he would not go back until the matter was finished.

Seeing that nothing happened, Jia Rui tidied up his clothes and rode home.

They are fine here, but the Jia family's side is even more chaotic.

It turns out that Jia Zhen is out of tune, but she still has some old relationships.

After several inquiries, he finally got some news from Jin Yiwei that he was imprisoned in Long Jinwei's dungeon.

This time, Jia Zhen was a little helpless.

Long Jinwei is the emperor's personal guard, this place is not something he Jia Zhen can reach into.

However, he knew that Jia Rui was now the commander of Long Jinwei, a celebrity in front of the Supreme Emperor, since he was in Jia Rui's yamen, Lai Shangrong should not suffer any flesh and blood.

Until now, he didn't realize that it was Jia Rui who wanted to deal with the Lai family, and he thought it was some other big shot who arranged for Long Jinwei to do it.

Since it is someone who can use Long Jinwei to do things, his status and status must not be simple, and Jia Zhen doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.

Therefore, he didn't even go out in person, and directly ordered Lai Er, the head of the family, to send a letter to the Rongguo Mansion.

He sent Lai Er intentionally. After all, Lai Er was Lai Shangrong's uncle. He was standing next to him when the boy replied to the letter just now. He could hear the cause and effect clearly. He went there just like him.

In this way, Laier passed the news to Jia Mu.

Now in Jiamu's inner hall, Nanny Lai is like an ant on a hot pot, but she still has to hold back her composure and serve Jiamu.

At this time, she could go home, but she was worried about her grandson, so she kept waiting for news from Jia Mu.

And his eldest son, Lai Da, was also waiting outside for news.

When Lai Er entered the Rongguo Mansion, he happened to meet Lai Da. The two brothers exchanged information and felt that the matter was serious.

The important figures involved in this are not something that the Lai family can fight against. In the end, if Lai Shangrong is to come out, it has to rely on the Rongguo Mansion.

So the two brothers went outside the inner house together, and sent a message inside through the old mother.

After a while, words came from inside, "Let them both come in."

At this point, Lai Da and Lai Er dared to enter the inner house under the leadership of the maid, and then went straight to the residence of Jiamu in Rongqingtang.

After arriving at Rongqing Hall, Lai Er told Jia's mother the news he had heard according to Jia Zhen's instructions.

Mother Jia frowned after hearing this, but soon relaxed.

It's easy to deal with people in Jia Rui's yamen.

No matter how you say it, Jia Rui is also a member of the Jia clan, so he still has some face, so it shouldn't be difficult for Jia Rui to let him go.

As for talking about other big shots, Jia Mu didn't care.

This is not because the Jia family is still powerful, but because Jia Rui is now the emperor's favorite, and those people dare not take revenge for the sake of the emperor.

"Yuanyang, send someone to call Rui Ge'er."

After Yuanyang heard this, he nodded quickly and went out to do things.

The little maid who didn't have a cup of tea sent back the message.

"Uncle Rui said that he was tired from doing errands in the yamen, so he won't visit the old lady today, and he will come to apologize when he has time."
