The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "I've mainly taken a liking to the doctors from the two clinics that were implicated!"

"Sir, you must have heard of the reputations of Ping An Tang and Ren He Tang!"

Seeing that the Second Master Zheng nodded slightly, he continued, "It's always beneficial to bring them under our wing while they're in trouble!"

"If you have a minor headache or fever, there's no need to panic and run around asking for help!"

Sometimes, Jia Huan truly felt that the Rong Mansion was just an empty shell, a facade of power and wealth.

It's ridiculous that a top-tier military family doesn't have a reliable resident doctor.

In the original novel of Dream of the Red Chamber, whenever Jia Baoyu, nicknamed "Phoenix Egg," fell ill or was beaten and needed treatment, the mansion would send a letter to invite Wang, a physician they knew from the Imperial Hospital, to come and treat him.

The same procedure was followed when the old lady and the second wife, Madam Wang, fell ill.

As for the situation of the eldest son's family, Jia Huan was not very clear.

Then, when the younger generation or the children in the household fall ill, they have to go to traditional folk medicine clinics for treatment.

As for calling them "Imperial Physicians," it's just a respectful title, much like how military officers in the Water Margin are all respectfully addressed as "Grand Commandant."

In addition, the Rong family has a very bad habit!

That means unless a core member is sick, they should be starved for two or three days first.

There is definitely some truth to this, but doing so can easily cause the condition to deteriorate rapidly.

He is currently exercising through breathing techniques, so he is quite healthy and has not been sick since he transmigrated. Cong-ge'er is the same.

However, Aunt Zhao fell ill twice during the change of seasons, and was really worn out.

As for people dying because they couldn't get timely treatment for their illnesses, that happens from time to time in the household.

After all, the Rong family has a population of nearly a thousand. With such a large population, it is normal for some accidents to happen.

If there were a resident doctor in the manor, how could these human tragedies have happened?

Jia Huan's reasons were grand and righteous, and even Master Zheng Er couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Especially when he heard that Jia Huan planned to arrange for a doctor to hold regular consultations at the clan school, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The truth is that Jia Huan wanted to study medicine and planned to further improve his breathing techniques.

Of course, he did have the idea of ​​having a doctor permanently stationed at the clan school; he wasn't just trying to fool the Second Master Zheng.

As for the other doctor, he was naturally assigned to be stationed at the small martial arts school.

The presence of a renowned doctor would likely significantly enhance the small martial arts school's standing and its ability to unite the local thugs.

Jia Huan is still young and has no intention of dominating the martial arts world yet.

However, this did not stop the willing thugs from growing stronger and spreading their influence and reach beyond Ningrong Street, allowing him to obtain more information feedback.

Of course, there's also a lot of under-the-table income. If you want the protection of the gang, you have to pay a share of the money, that's the rule!

Chapter 80 Black and Red (Please add to your favorites)

The recent political turmoil in the Great Qian Dynasty can be described as constant.

The drought in the first half of the year, along with the deficit in the official granaries, led to the dismissal of many officials and even the confiscation of their property.

By the end of spring, the heavens finally granted their mercy and rained normally, which slightly alleviated the drought in the north.

Unexpectedly, the court, which was thought to be gradually settling down, has recently been thrown into turmoil again.

Ma Yuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was impeached by several censors.

The impeachment proceedings were mostly the same old story, trying to dredge up the previous drought. In short, even if they couldn't bring Ma Yuan down, they could at least make him look bad and embarrassed for a while.

While defending himself, Ma Yuan also launched a rather fierce offensive!

The Ning and Rong mansions faced quite intense impeachment.

That's right, this time it wasn't just Master Zheng who was affected; Master She and Jia Zhen of the Ning Mansion were also implicated.

It was rare for the names of the Ning and Rong mansions to reappear in the imperial court after many years.

Even the current emperor and a group of senior court officials felt as if they were in another world.

Since the death of the previous Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan, the names of the Ning and Rong mansions had disappeared from the court for many years. Now that they have been suddenly brought up again, many court officials are still somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Just like the modern understanding of 'black and red', 'black and red' is also a kind of 'red'.

The Ning and Rong families, currently facing intense impeachment, have entered the court with a similar air of 'black and red,' reminding the current emperor and a group of veteran court officials of the Jia family in the capital.

At the same time, it became clear that Ma Yuan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had clashed with the Jia family in the capital.

Strangely, Ma Yuan was not able to impeach the Second Master Zheng, nor was he able to pardon the First Master.

The Second Master Zheng was a holdout in the Ministry of Works, but his situation was quite special. He had basically not handled any practical matters, so no shortcomings in his work could be found.

Then all we can do is criticize them for occupying a position without doing their job. There are quite a few officials like this in the officialdom, and it's easy for them to implicate certain people.

Then the only option is to find fault with the Second Master Zheng, who is in charge of the Rong family.

It didn't raise any issues about his position as head of the family, or whether it violated national laws or regulations. It involved the former deposed crown prince and the retired emperor; even if Ma Yuan had three times the courage, he wouldn't dare to make such a baseless accusation.

Then we can only use the fact that the Rong family's sons are causing trouble and harming the people as a pretext.

Ma Yuan had clearly done his homework; many of the disgraceful deeds of the Rong family's sons were brought up in court, making them utterly shameful.

Of course, these things were really nothing to the officials in the imperial court.

Which family hasn't experienced something like this?

It's just a matter of degree, so Ma Yuan's impeachment only made the Second Master Zheng lose face, and it didn't really cause any serious damage.

If the Second Master Kezheng doesn't react at all, the imperial court won't agree.

Now that everything has been made public, the Rong family should at least make some gesture to show their stance; otherwise, the law would be a huge joke, and the current emperor would not accept it.

As for Lord She, the only thing that can be impeached is his lecherousness and womanizing.

At this time, Master She was an absolute homebody.

I don't know what kind of blow or stimulus I suffered, but I just try not to go out. What I do at home is none of anyone else's business, so impeachment really has no effect whatsoever.

Sure enough, his first appearance in court in many years was met with a sharp impeachment.

The Rong family took this very seriously and immediately held a core member meeting at Rongqing Hall.

Rarely, Jia Huan was notified to participate, and once again he came to Rongqing Hall openly and legitimately.

The atmosphere in the lobby was rather oppressive. From the old lady to Wang Xifeng, everyone had a somber expression, as if something terrible had happened.

The Second Master Zheng's face turned bright red, as if he had been slightly agitated.

Jia Huan found it amusing; weren't the core members of the Rong Mansion overreacting a bit?

He naturally knew what was going on. He had his own sources of information within the manor, and his information network outside the manor was even more efficient. The Rong manor was like a sieve; it couldn't keep any secrets at all.

So what if he was impeached in court and lost face?

Which official in the imperial court doesn't have a thicker skin than a city wall? Otherwise, how could they survive in the imperial court?

The truly hotheaded young men were all used as cannon fodder.

"Everyone knows what happened in the court; it was utterly shameful!"

Just as Jia Huan's thoughts were wandering, the old lady finally spoke in a deep voice: "We need to react to this matter immediately, we can't let others continue to use it against us!"

"Mother is right!"

The Second Master Zheng said angrily, "Some of the servants in the manor are far too unruly. They have done bad things outside, but we are the ones who have to take the blame. It is outrageous!"

The old lady paused upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face.

As for the second wife, Madam Wang, she unconsciously gripped the Buddhist prayer beads in her hand even tighter.

For no other reason than that her act of sending people out to lend money at exorbitant interest rates was exposed, becoming one of the strong pieces of evidence for Ma Yuan to impeach the Second Master Zheng.

Fortunately, Madam Wang was cautious enough to distance herself from the servants she had sent out.

As long as she doesn't admit to lending money at exorbitant interest rates, or even driving people to their deaths, it has nothing to do with her.

This matter is easy to deny to outsiders, and the government also helps to cover it up, but it's difficult to explain internally.

The Second Master Zheng was in a fit of anger and hadn't had a chance to cause trouble yet.

Madam Wang wasn't too concerned about Master Zheng's anger; after so many years of marriage, it was easy to handle. What truly pained her was the financial loss.

Now that the loan sharking has been exposed, it's clear that the loan sharking money that hasn't been recovered yet is impossible to get back—that's several thousand taels of silver!

"Grandma, what should we do with those servants who committed crimes?"

Lord She spoke lazily, adopting an attitude of indifference as if it were none of his business.

Despite being impeached incidentally, he was actually in a rather good mood.

After many years, he made another appearance in the imperial court. In the past few days, some old friends who had lost contact with him have sent him invitations, asking him to go out and have some fun.

Lord She naturally felt quite good about such days.

As for matters within the manor, he couldn't be bothered with them; hadn't they already separated?

"These are all veterans who have served in the government for many years; we should at least show them some respect!"
