The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Clearly, the impeachment of Lin Ruhai by some southern officials did not cause much of a stir in the imperial court.

In other words, Lin Ruhai's matter didn't attract much attention in the imperial court, so it naturally couldn't be spread immediately; it's that simple.

Throughout history, the reasons for impeaching officials have always been limited to a few categories.

Surely it's not like there are still officials who want to settle scores later, is it?

Jia Huan underestimated the shamelessness of some officials!

He colluded with Yangzhou salt merchants and accepted huge bribes!

During his tenure, he acquired thousands of acres of fertile land, had numerous beautiful maids in his household, and owned shops worth millions.

When they went to the capital, they brought three boats full of wealth, which took a whole day to unload. The value of the goods was probably more than a million!

This is the content of Lin Ruhai's impeachment, and it's utter nonsense!

Anyone who knows the Lin family's background would not believe a single word of it.

The Lin family was not only a family of marquises for five generations, but also a family of single heirs for five generations!

Anyone who isn't a fool would know that by Lin Ruhai's generation, the value of the dowry accumulated by the mistress alone would probably be no less than a million taels of silver.

As for the Lin family's own accumulated wealth, it is no less than that of any noble family!

If you don't understand the Lin family's situation, it only means that you are not strong enough and lack power. What's wrong with being told a few things by such a person?

Master Zheng Er, looking relaxed, informed Jia Huan of the situation.

Jia Huan's first reaction was that someone was trying to take advantage of the Lin family's assets!

However, the idea was rejected the next moment. Lin Ruhai was still alive, and it wouldn't be so easy for outsiders to take over the Lin family's assets.

He glanced at the Second Master Zheng out of the corner of his eye. The man's face was relaxed and there was nothing else on it. Clearly, he had no other ulterior motives.

But the old lady had already set her sights on Lin Daiyu long ago!

Tsk tsk, that's why they say old ginger is spicier!

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, wasn't the Lin family's property seized by the Jia family?

If it weren't for the construction of the Grand View Garden, the Jia family could probably have continued to be wealthy for one or two more generations with the help of the Lin family's millions in assets!

After all, according to Wang Xifeng at that time, the annual expenditure of the mansion was less than 100,000 taels.

If a capable member of the Rong family were to emerge during this period, he might be able to easily turn his life around with the help of the family's abundant funds. It's that simple and unpretentious.

It's hard to say about others, but at least Jia Baoyu would definitely be able to live a life of wealth and leisure.

Unfortunately, there's always someone better!

The old lady had a brilliant plan, and the current emperor also had a way to get rid of the Rong family.

Jia Huan didn't say much. Although he felt there was still a problem, he didn't want to continue to discourage the idea.

The Second Master Zheng is clearly in a good mood, so let's not upset him now.

The next day, when Jia Huan arrived at the small martial arts school, he instructed his underlings to gather information about Lin Ruhai from the streets of the capital.

The result was quite surprising; the common people in the city were very curious and discussing the Lin family's wealth.

In short, the general public in Beijing had a poor impression of Lin Ruhai, considering him an out-and-out corrupt official.

Since they didn't know the specifics of the Lin family, they assumed that the three large ships laden with valuables that accompanied Lin Ruhai when he went to Beijing were all the proceeds of Lin Ruhai's embezzlement.

Some agitated citizens even resorted to swearing.

The content was extremely filthy, containing all sorts of offensive and offensive language.

It can be said that in a short period of time, the reputation of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai was completely ruined in the streets of Beijing.

Is this an attempt to first tarnish their reputation and then seize their wealth?

Alarm bells rang in Jia Huan's mind. After collecting several days' worth of rumors from the streets, he compiled them into a book and sent it directly to Master Zheng Er.

"This is……"

The Second Master Zheng casually flipped through the pages, but his expression grew increasingly grim. Finally, he slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Outrageous! What are those guys trying to do?"

"We'll have to ask Uncle Lin about this; he probably has some ideas!"

Jia Huan was speechless; he had inexplicably encountered such a thing.

If it weren't for the previous disturbances caused by the Second Master Zheng, which made me wary of these matters, I fear that some people's schemes would have succeeded.

"I'll go to the Lin family myself right away!"

The Second Master Zheng's face was solemn, and he gripped the booklet tightly in his hand, his previous ease completely gone.

He waved to Jia Huan, indicating that he could leave the study; he needed to go to the Lin family and speak with Lin Ruhai.

No matter what, we can't let people continue to slander us in the streets.

Lord Zheng Er understood the principle of "three men can make a tiger" (a Chinese idiom meaning that something can become a myth or a false alarm). Who knew if those censors would seize the opportunity to stir up trouble?

Don't mention that Lin Ruhai used to be a member of the Censorate; that's all ancient history.

Even if he is the head of the Censorate at this time, he will still be impeached if necessary. The Censorate is full of hotheads who want to rise to the top.

If you could impeach and remove the head of the Censorate, how much fame would you gain?

Jia Huan smiled lightly, not caring, and leisurely left the study and headed towards his residence.

On the way, I overheard several maids gossiping about the mansion, the biggest one being that Jia Baoyu's buttock injury had healed.

Tsk tsk, according to normal recovery methods, it would take at least ten days to half a month, right?

It can only be said that the Rong family was willing to use medicine on Jia Baoyu's injured buttocks, which allowed the boy to recover smoothly and become a lively and energetic "embroidered pillow" again.

Unfortunately, judging from the words of those maids, Jia Baoyu's life was not easy.

Madam Wang immediately made him move to the front yard, no matter how much he made a fuss.

He went to the old lady to cry and beg for mercy, but the old lady only told him to be a good boy and didn't say anything else.

And so, Jia Baoyu moved to the area outside the second gate.

What devastated him even more was that none of his beautiful maids had come with him; they had all stayed where they were.

Instead, they were replaced by a group of honest-looking, clumsy young servants.

The kind of person who, if you slap them, takes a while to react and doesn't even dare to easily show anger, is definitely one of the types Jia Baoyu dislikes the most.

Because of this, Jia Baoyu caused quite a commotion in the mansion today!

In the past, the old lady and the second wife would have immediately given in and given Jia Baoyu whatever he wanted.

Unfortunately, for some reason, the two bigwigs in the mansion remained completely unmoved this time.

Despite Jia Baoyu's antics, they didn't react much. Eventually, Jia Baoyu himself got bored and had no choice but to give up the struggle in dejection.

Fortunately, he didn't cause any more trouble, and soon after, Master Zheng returned.

If Master Zheng Er knew what he had done, he would probably be furious and directly ask for family punishment. Everyone knows that Master Zheng Er was very angry with Jia Baoyu.

The unfortunate gossip about Jia Baoyu is really entertaining to hear!

Unfortunately, those gossipy maids quickly left via another path, not going the same way as Jia Huan, otherwise they probably would have heard even more exciting gossip.

No wonder so many people in my past life enjoyed being bystanders; it was truly fascinating.

If it weren't for the worry of upsetting the old lady and Lady Wang, Jia Huan would have really wanted to go and see what kind of mental state Jia Baoyu was in without all the fragrance of incense.

When they returned to their residence, Aunt Zhao was also gossiping about Jia Baoyu in hushed tones.

The gossip that Aunt Zhao knew was all about what happened in the inner courtyard.

According to her, Jia Baoyu went to Rongqing Hall, but was kicked out not long afterward.

Of course, the old lady wouldn't make it obvious. Instead, she would let him get used to his new living environment so that he wouldn't suffer from not adapting. In short, she showed him a lot of care and love.

However, Aunt Zhao understood the old lady's temperament quite well, after all, she was a senior maid from Rongqing Hall.

The old lady doesn't want Jia Baoyu to stay with her any longer, I wonder why?

Jia Huan chuckled inwardly, but it was clear that the old lady and Madam Wang had intervened to suppress certain information and prevent the rumors from spreading.

He just listened with amusement and didn't actively get involved.

Given Jia Baoyu's current reputation, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai would probably have to avoid him.

Lin Daiyu is only nine years old, Xue Baochai is a little over twelve, and Jia Baoyu is over eleven. It's too early for them to develop any romantic feelings for each other.

What kind of childhood sweetheart relationship could withstand the impact of Jia Baoyu's fondness for the south wind?

It's estimated that there will be no more rumors of a "perfect match".

I just don't know if this kid has improved after what happened before.

On the virtual light screen evolved by the Golden Finger, the value representing fortune is a full 590.

Aside from what is being consumed, there is no sign of any increase.

In other words, Jia Baoyu's move out of the inner courtyard has not yet affected his life trajectory.
