Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 496 Holding a knife and demanding an explanation

Chapter 496 Holding a knife and demanding an explanation

It was still dark, and the news that Daiyu refuted Yingchuan County Prince Liu Zhi in Huangji Palace was like having wings, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of the capital at an extremely fast speed.

Compared with the gossip about the Jia family's basic operations, such as the royal cat Jia Cong beating people in front of the palace gate, the little girl defeated a group of big men, which made the people in the capital find it more interesting, and at the same time made them more drunk.

It was the Chinese New Year, and when we were visiting relatives and friends for a drink, the embarrassment of Prince Yingchuan's palace and the disdain of Princess Wen'an who was killing everyone immediately became the best topics to talk about.

"Did you hear that? The emperor has given Princess Wen'an another hundred households of food estates, which is almost as much as the prince's."

"What does it mean to catch up quickly? It's already exceeded. Apart from Prince Zhongshun, there's no one else in the 1,500-household settlement in the entire Great Xia. The Lin family is really smoking from their ancestral graves, so unexpectedly something like this happened. Gorgeous girl.”

In the past, the Lin family, which had been privately ridiculed for having no heirs and was about to become extinct, had really made many people's eyes turn red with envy in the past two years.

Those of the same year and colleagues who had a good relationship with Lin Ruhai told his wife and daughter the gossip they had just heard as soon as they returned home, thinking about letting their daughters hang out with Daiyu more.

Unfortunately, what they don't know is that half of the noble girls in the entire capital have followed the same path as their mothers.

How jealous their mother was of Jia Min's talent back then, they are now jealous of Daiyu's talent.

Not to mention making friends by walking around, being able to squeeze out a smile on your face and maintain basic politeness has already made many noble ladies secretly bite their little white teeth.

"Damn it, you dare to bully my niece... Fourth child, fourth child, gather the troops and bring the guys with you, let's go and pay New Year's greetings to Prince Yingchuan!"

Master Pardon's violent temper did not change at all with his deliberate silence. He had just come back from showing off his baby, and without even letting go of his granddaughter who had made a big red envelope, he clamored for personal soldiers to lead Jia Si to gather his troops.

Liu Zhi? What is that?

You said that was the prince of the imperial dynasty? The one I am beating is the county king!

"Uncle, I didn't suffer a loss..."

Daiyu took over her little niece who stretched out her hands for a hug, trying to persuade the irascible Master Pardon to calm down.

She was not worried that she would be impeached by the officials if the Pardon Master came to her door, nor was she worried that her family would be blamed by the emperor. She simply felt that it was almost dark and it was not worth delaying the family's dinner for this matter.

If we want to fight, we have to gather people and tools tomorrow to smash Prince Yingchuan's house in the capital to pieces. Only in this way can we show the tyranny of our Jia family.

Huh? Why would I think of smashing someone's house?

Daiyu tilted her head and looked at the little niece in her arms.

"Hit~hit~"

The eldest daughter of the Jia family, seventy-seven, is a young girl, but she already has the style of her ancestors. She holds a small wooden sword in her chubby little hand, has a pair of bright red and phoenix eyes, and opens her little mouth to hit and hit.

At this time, the old lady had heard the noise in the courtyard and walked out of Rongxi Hall with the help of Mrs. Xing.

When Daiyu thought that the old lady would stop Mr. Pardon from his violent behavior, she unexpectedly warned her as soon as she came out: "That old bastard Liu Zhi is the most shameless. If you go late, you will definitely not find anyone. Boss, go quickly." Block the person and don't let him escape. Also, don't beat the person to death. Even if the saint and His Majesty want to save your life, it will be difficult for him to come forward."

……

Not to mention, the old lady knows far more about the nobles in the capital than the pardon master.

As soon as Liu Zhi returned to the palace, he asked people to pack their things and prepare to go outside the city to avoid the limelight. At this time, don't think about celebrating the New Year in the city.

The character and style of the Ning Rong Jia family can be seen from the arrogance and rudeness of Jia Cong's son today.

"Master, the people from Prince Ji's Mansion said that His Highness Prince Ji is not in the city..."

The housekeeper carefully presented a letter of greeting respectfully, but Liu Zhi suddenly knocked it to the ground.

As soon as he returned home, he lay down on his desk and wrote a letter of greeting to King Ji Liu Huai, who was in charge of family affairs. He wanted to ask his cousin to come forward and help him speak to the Supreme Emperor.

On the one hand, he still couldn't let go of the huge interests of establishing overseas branches. On the other hand, the Prince Ji's Palace and the Rongguo Palace had a very good relationship. With Liu Huai, the old prince, coming forward, he might be able to resolve his grievances with the Jia family.

His children and grandchildren were beaten so badly by Jia Cong, and the face of the Prince of Yingchuan was almost trampled under his feet and ravaged repeatedly. Of course, Liu Zhi would not let go of his hatred for the Jia family so easily.

It's just that Liu Zhi's biggest concern at this time is the enfeoffment. As long as he gets the fiefdom, he won't have so many worries about fighting with the Jia family.

But his invitation did not even enter the gate of Prince Ji's Mansion...

"Master, would you like me to go there again?"

"Where are you going? You are deliberately avoiding me. It will be the same even if you go ten times or a hundred times."

Liu Zhi suppressed the anger and resentment in his heart, calmed down his mood and then ordered: "Go and pack the few boxes of things we came with and load them into the carriage. I am going to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to the saint."

Since the younger ones are unreliable, go directly to the older ones.

The current emperor is mean and ungrateful, but the old saint has always been good-looking. He always flaunts his sage, prowess, and kindness to his ministers. As long as he fails miserably and presents gifts, he will not be able to get a place for enfeoffment.

With a creak, the door to Prince Yingchuan's Mansion slowly closed.

The huge convoy quickly drove to the west gate of the capital under the escort of a group of guards. The soldiers guarding the Fucheng Gate naturally did not dare to block the carriage of the king of the imperial court, but they still kept an eye on it. Soon the emperor received Ying There was news that Prince Sichuan had left the west gate and headed towards the imperial mausoleum.

The emperor was currently talking to the prince Liu Hong about enfeoffment and inclusion in the "Daxia Code". After hearing the report from the Dragon Imperial Guard, he sneered.

"Go, inform Marquis Jia En of this news, and also tell him that after teaching the people of the Yingchuan Palace, go to the imperial mausoleum to go hunting with your father to relax, and don't go back to the capital for the time being."

……

The soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion all put on armor, hung long knives on their waists, and held hard wooden sticks in their hands. They all mounted their horses and followed behind their generals.

The red cloak is hunting in the wind, standing in front of the gate of Yingchuan Prince's Mansion.

There were ninety-nine soldiers, no more, no less, so the censor patrolling the city who got the news had no excuse to stop him.

Mr. Pardon even raised his eyebrows at the censor standing not far away: "I am here to seek revenge. Mr. Liu Zhi bullied my niece today. You censors don't dare to fart. I myself To take revenge, you'd better pretend you can't see it. Otherwise, I will let people spread it everywhere tomorrow, saying that the imperial censors of the country bully the weak and fear the strong, officials protect each other, and are afraid of the powerful..."

The censor was almost furious. Are you, Marquis Jia En, a powerful person in the dynasty? Are you, Duke Rongguo, an official of Daxia?

Who said that this censor is afraid of powerful people? I had even written the notes for the impeachment of Prince Yingchuan's Mansion, and was about to go to the General Affairs Department to submit it when I was attracted by the commotion in your Jia family...

In front of me, the censor who patrols the city, with such a gang of killers standing here with murderous intent, and not letting me interfere...

Jia Cong helplessly raised his hand towards the censor: "Censor He, my father is really angry. Some of his words were too much. I hope Censor He won't blame him..."

This Censor He Ju was also one of Jia Cong's peers, and they didn't have many interactions with each other. However, this person was fair, so it was better not to make enemies out of nothing.

Jia Cong pulled He Ju aside and told the story of Liu Zhi's plan to seize the land for free from the imperial court and go to sea with a fleet of ships.

"He Yushi, please think about it. The original policy of enfeoffment was jointly agreed upon by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, passed by the court, and announced to the world. Why did the Prince of Yingchuan use the words of one family to order the court to change the order overnight? This is not treating us. People take it seriously. I even said today that this world belongs to his Liu family. Whatever the Liu family wants, why do others need to agree..."

The point is that what Liu Zhi did was to put the court rules on the ground and rub them hard with the soles of his feet. As the censors who respected the rules the most, this was absolutely intolerable. "King Yingchuan is so arrogant. When did this world become his family's?"

In this world, we and other saint disciples have always been the guardians of heaven. When will a useless clan member be able to change the rules of the court?

He Ju couldn't help but cursed, and cupped her hands at Jia Cong and said: "I will go back and summon my colleagues right now. As long as I am waiting, this unreasonable and unfounded plan of the Yingchuan Palace will never succeed!"

Jia Cong was secretly happy, but his face was full of respect.

He cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "He Yushi is indeed loyal and fair, I admire you. It's a pity that I am involved in this matter, so I can't come forward, and I can't help everyone with the plan. I feel ashamed..."

Jia Cong's praise made He Ju feel quite proud. She patted her chest and promised that he would definitely get the matter done and that Liu Zhi would not succeed.

Before leaving, he also reminded me: "Rong Guo Gong feels sorry for his niece, and he can understand that he is a little over-the-top in anger. But please be careful about the impact and don't make too much trouble. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to handle... ...Master Hou, do you think so?"

Boom~

As soon as they finished speaking, there was a loud noise in their ears. The two turned around and saw that the door of Prince Yingchuan's Mansion had been smashed to the ground, causing dust to fly.

The corner of Jia Cong's mouth twitched and he replied apologetically: "Don't worry, Censor He, I will never take the initiative to cause trouble or cause any deaths, and I won't make it difficult for you."

Jia Cong would never miss this opportunity if he could set a trap for the people of Yingchuan Palace.

After seeing off the high-spirited He Ju, Jia Cong rushed back to his father. Except for a few servants left behind in the huge Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, none of the masters, big or small, could be found.

Before Master Pardon could interrogate him, a secret guard from the Dragon Guard sent information.

"The old lady is really clever. The old guy Liu Zhi really ran away!"

Master Pardon looked at the already darkening sky, then turned around and said to Jia Lian: "Lian'er, I'll leave this place to you. Except for his ancestral hall, take back everything you can. If you can't take it back, give it all." I dismantled it.”

……

Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the city, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

The official roads outside the city were not as smooth as those in the city. Liu Zhi, who was used to enjoying himself, couldn't bear the bumping of the carriage. Seeing that it was getting dark, he asked people to slow down and planned to find a place to rest for the night.

I didn't want to be chased by the Jia family before I reached the nearby post house.

Compared with the people from the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, including Jia She and Jia Cong's father and son, the number of people from the Jia family who came here was less than sixty.

Liu Zhi lifted the car curtain and looked at Jia She's cold face under the torch. He was not afraid, but rather dissatisfied and angry.

"Jia She, what do you want to do? Your son beat my son and grandson like that. I didn't go to you to settle the score. You went to me first."

Xilulu~

The Pardon Master patted his horse and walked away. The whip in his hand could even be thrown into Liu Zhi's face. He pointed at Liu Zhi's old face and started to curse.

"Old man, you still have the nerve to say that. First you bullied my niece, and then you dared to dislike my son's roasted meat. It gives you face, right..."

Snapped!

Mr. Pardon never cares about who he wants to beat. He has even beaten the current emperor, so he will be afraid of any prince.

With a whip, it hit Liu Zhi's shoulder.

With a flick and a pull, he was knocked off the carriage.

For an old man in his seventies, this alone was enough for him. Jia She also knew that this old man was shameless and shameless, and it was not easy to harm his life.

Therefore, after whipping him out of the carriage, the target of the whip in his hand was changed to someone else.

The guards of Prince Yingchuan's Mansion were stunned by Master Pardon's actions. Would anyone really dare to hit his master?

When Liu Zhi endured the pain and called for escort, they came to their senses and rushed forward one after another, protecting Liu Zhi and other masters behind them.

But it was still too late. The pardon master picked up Prince Liu Mang of Yingchuan and threw him to the ground like a chicken. He raised his hand and whipped him with several whips.

Hearing screams one after another, Liu Mang was already beaten into a pig's head by Jia Cong. Now Liu Mang was even worse. The whip fell on his body again and again, leaving a bloody mark every time.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Marquis Jia En, you are so brave, you dare to hit me..."

Liu Zhi broke away from the guard's support and was angry and angry. He pointed at Jia She and said, "Give it all to me. I will take down these rebellious people!"

Swish swish swish~

After hearing Liu Zhi's order, the people in Yingchuan Palace drew their sabers one after another.

"Who dares!"

Jia Cong roared angrily, drew out his Yanling Saber and swung his horse forward. The horse's front hooves were raised high, and he kicked away a royal guard who was rushing forward.

Naturally, the soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion followed closely behind. Although the number was small, the group of killers from the Jia family were all armored and capable, and they could not be compared with the oppressive and kind-hearted people from the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion.

There was only one confrontation, and before the sword was seriously used, more than a hundred guards of the Yingchuan Prince's Mansion were scattered directly by the collision of the horses.

Jia Si even chopped off the head of the guard commander of Yingchuan Palace with one knife. The big head flew high, and the headless corpse even rushed for a long distance before falling weakly.

The sudden conflict came to an abrupt end. The people in the Yingchuan Palace, including Liu Zhi, finally realized something.

The Jia family will not be afraid of any prince's palace.

The Jia family really knows how to kill!

Almost all the princes and grandsons of Yingchuan Palace turned pale, covering their mouths and turning around to vomit, trying to hide their fear.

One of them trembled and pointed at Jia Cong who was walking towards them with a knife and said: "You... you... this is the capital, under the emperor's feet, how dare you kill someone!"

Jia Cong was amused by this man. If he didn't dare to kill someone, why would he come outside the city to blow the cold wind at night?

But of course you have to find a good excuse for this kind of thing. After all, he told He Ju before he came that he would not take the initiative to cause trouble and cause death. We are people who keep our word...

"I did not expect that the rules of the Yingchuan Palace are so bad that someone would openly attack and assassinate the Duke of the Kingdom..."

Jia Cong grinned at Liu Zhi, his white teeth oozing out under the light of the torch.

Just listen to Jia Cong sneer and say: "On New Year's Eve, my father and I offended a lot of people for suppressing the rebellion and killing thieves. It seems that there are many thieves hiding in the Yingchuan Prince's Palace. My lord, should you give me a Explain?"

　Thanks to book friend 1755 for the reward.

　　The night before yesterday, my fever reached 39.3, and I finally went to the emergency room in the middle of the night. After checking, fortunately it was not an infection.

　　I drank water, and my head felt groggy after the fever subsided during the day. I felt better in the early morning, so I got up and started reading a chapter.

　　I'm going to take a nap again and see if I can be more energetic during the day. Then I'll continue typing.
