The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

"Second brother, what are you planning to do?"

This is called changing the subject. Don't keep dwelling on the past; you have to look forward.

"Mother, we must get Huan-ge out of here as soon as possible!"

Lord Zheng said loudly, "No matter what, we absolutely cannot let him spend the night at the Embroidered Uniform Guard's office!"

"Then do it!"

The old lady naturally wouldn't object, nodding and saying, "Let's all get moving! First, find our old relatives, then ask the other major dukes' mansions if we can join forces to get them out!"

She saw it very clearly: given Jia Huan's actions, if he sought help from other families, they would definitely respond in kind, even if it was just to set a good example for their own children.

How old is Jia Huan?

Upon hearing that his father had been humiliated in the imperial court, he immediately sought out the person responsible for the attack and sought revenge.

Although his act of ambushing an official of the imperial court is not commendable, his actions are still quite admirable. Who wouldn't want their own children to be so courageous?

Therefore, when the Second Master of the State personally came to ask for help, almost everyone who was asked for help patted their chests and guaranteed that they would immediately contact the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This time, Master Zheng was quite proactive. So proactive that Madam Wang was envious and jealous, and even a little annoyed at the end, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

He specifically instructed Jia Baoyu to show his face more often in front of Master Zheng, so that Master Zheng would at least know that Jia Baoyu also cares about him.

Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh.

Jia Baoyu was not happy at all. In order to avoid contact with Master Zheng, he even started to have headaches and fevers and felt unwell. He just didn't want to go to the study to receive instruction from the scholars.

Not to mention Mrs. Wang's frustration, the old lady was even more disappointed by his behavior.

Jia Lian, on the other hand, actively followed Master Zheng around that very night.

Regardless of whether it will be effective, at least the attitude is perfectly fine.

As several noble families that had been contacted reached out to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Embroidered Uniform Guard began to feel the pressure.

Releasing them that very night is absolutely out of the question!

Having no other choice, they could only send a vague message: the matter had received serious attention from the authorities, and they were reluctant to give a clear answer.

But don't worry, it seems that the current government quite appreciates the actions of Huan-ge'er from the Rong family. At least this young master of the Rong family won't suffer here in the Jinyiwei.

This information is sufficient.

When the Second Master received the feedback, although he was still somewhat disappointed, he was no longer extremely anxious.

After returning to the Rong Mansion with Jia Lian and sharing the news, everyone in the Rong Mansion who had been waiting for a long time breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no way around it; Jia Huan was the first member of the Rong family to be personally taken away by the Embroidered Uniform Guard after the Rong family lost control of the Beijing Garrison. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.

After seeing off the exhausted Sanchun, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai, Master Zheng Er solemnly announced an important decision: he was going to climb the ranks!

This incident was so shocking to him that it could only be described as a tidal wave!

He was humiliated in the imperial court by a veteran censor, and his own son stood up for him in righteous indignation, only to be imprisoned by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The reason for this is simply that his official position is not high, and others look down on him.

How could a high-ranking official of the first or second rank in the imperial court, or even a Grand Secretary, possibly encounter such a thing?

Not only did he feel that his official position was too lowly, but the Second Master Zheng also discovered a rather frightening fact.

The Rong family is clearly not as powerful as I imagined!

A mere veteran censor dared to hurl insults at him for the duration of a cup of tea!

However, the high-ranking officials in the imperial court felt it was perfectly reasonable and no one stepped forward to stop it.

What this means is quite obvious.

If a court official were to attack the Rong family with the help of the Censorate next time, who could they rely on?

The Second Master Zheng saw things clearly: the four great families of Jinling and the noble groups were all unreliable; one had to be strong oneself to succeed.

The old lady's expression changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Second son, have you thought this through?"

"Mother, I've thought it through!"

The Second Master Zheng's eyes reddened, and he said firmly, "I don't want this situation to happen again, where we can't even protect our own children!"

"In a few days, after Huan-ge'er's matter is settled, I will submit a memorial to the Emperor!"

The old lady's eyes flashed with displeasure, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded and said, "Then you can do whatever you want. This old woman is getting old and a bit tired. You can all go now!"

Master She and Madam Xing, Master Zheng and Madam Wang, along with Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, all bid farewell to the old lady and left, then returned to their respective residences.

After Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng returned to their residence, they asked Ping'er to bring them hot water to wash and relieve their fatigue.

"Second Master, I think the old lady was a little unhappy at the end!"

Wang Xifeng squinted her phoenix eyes and suddenly asked, "I wonder what Second Uncle wants to do?"

"Thinking about getting promoted quickly!"

Jia Lian chuckled and said, "What happened today really upset Second Uncle!"

"Come to think of it, Huan-ge was really fierce this time, his courage was boundless!"

Wang Xifeng chuckled and said, "She even dares to scare the imposing censor in the imperial court!"

"That's also to avenge my father!"

Jia Lian's expression was unreadable, and he chuckled, "This kid is going to be something else in the future!"

Meanwhile, the guy that Jia Lian had mentioned would be extraordinary in the future was sitting in the reception hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's office, looking nothing like a prisoner.

On the contrary, his clothes were as clean and tidy as ever, and there were several kinds of tea and snacks on the table in front of him, as if he had come here as a guest.

That's exactly what he thought, and that's what he did.

I felt completely relaxed, leaning back in my chair, holding a teacup, and taking a sip every now and then.

Fortunately, he didn't care about the quality of the tea, otherwise he would have given the Jinyiwei guys a good beating for their contempt.

Royal hounds should act like royal hounds; how can they be looked down upon?

Across from him sat two low-ranking military officers from the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Seeing Jia Huan's behavior, they couldn't help but chuckle, their eyes filled with amusement.

"Jia Huan, do you know where this place is?"

Finally, the tallest of them couldn't help but ask, "Look at you, not scared at all? You've got guts!"

Why should I be afraid?

Jia Huan put down his teacup and said leisurely with a smile, "Isn't this the Embroidered Uniform Guard's residence?"

"Now that you know it's the Embroidered Uniform Guard, do you still dare to be so relaxed? Aren't you afraid of us subjecting you to severe torture? I bet you definitely don't want to experience that!"

"No, no, no, please don't use torture! I really can't take it!"

Jia Huan waved his hand and laughed, "Of course, I don't think I did anything wrong, so you don't need to use torture. That's no joke!"

"You think you haven't done anything wrong by knocking out an imperial censor with firecrackers in the street?"

Another military officer from the Embroidered Uniform Guard spoke up, teasingly asking, "Then tell me, how come you haven't done anything wrong?"

"That old scoundrel just thinks my master is honest and easy to bully, so he impeaches and stirs up trouble in the court to gain fame and profit. Does he really think that he has any ideas in his heart that can be hidden from smart people?"

At this point, Jia Huan's relaxed expression vanished, replaced by coldness, and his tone became somewhat angry: "If it were me, and I encountered such shameless trouble-making, I would beat him so badly that he would have to retire on the spot!"

The two people opposite them exchanged a glance, their smiles rather strange.

"This is the first time we've heard anyone describe you, sir, like this!"

"Heh, is my master dishonest?"

Jia Huan sneered, "My master is the head of the Rong family, yet he has been able to stay quietly in the Ministry of Works for twenty years, which means he has been sitting on the sidelines for twenty years!"

"If someone with the same power were in that position, they would have already started making a scene!"

"They may not be capable of accomplishing anything, but they can easily do bad things!"

At this point, Jia Huan said coldly, "For a bureaucratic department like the Ministry of Works, which deals with many large-scale national projects, if there are a few accidents, even the Minister of Works might not be able to handle it!"

The flickering lights in the flower hall of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's yamen cast three shadows—one small, two large, and one large—creating a rather eerie scene.

Jia Huan spoke casually, but his words sent chills down the spines of the two low-ranking military officers from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Take the Yellow River dike repairs, for example. Everyone knows there are too many shady dealings involved. It's also a good opportunity for the Ministry of Works and local authorities to make money!"

"If my master were in charge of supervising the construction, just sitting there like a silent bodhisattva would be enough to make all those guys trying to skim some money uncomfortable!"

"It's true, scions of military families are generally not afraid of others causing trouble!"

Although the words were spoken vaguely, the two low-ranking military officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard felt a chill run down their spines as they sensed the intense killing intent and bloodlust in the speech.

In the Embroidered Uniform Guard's residence, some things could be said without restraint, and Jia Huan was quite unscrupulous.

This is not the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, so there is no need to worry about being subjected to extrajudicial punishment.

The bureaucratic group of the Great Qian Dynasty was very wary of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in order to prevent the emergence of a terrifying entity like the Embroidered Uniform Guard. They had always suppressed and restricted it in various ways, and it would have been abolished long ago if it were not for the needs of the royal family.

Only those without powerful backers, or unlucky souls who have been abandoned, and serious criminals specially assigned by the royal family, would be subjected to all sorts of torture instruments after entering the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
