Chapter 164 Dream of Red Mansions Lin Ruhai 08
Chapter 164 Dream of Red Mansions Lin Ruhai 08
The emperor was very happy about this, because those people that Lin Ruhai dealt with were all parasites that were deeply embedded in the court. After they were removed, those who came to power were all truly capable people. Therefore, the emperor let Lin Ruhai deal with those officials, while he sat back and watched the show!
As for the Jia family, when Jia She was imprisoned, Grandmother Jia dragged her sick body to the Lin family to ask to see Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.
Lin Ruhai was not at home at the time, only Jia Min was there.
I don’t know what the mother and daughter said to each other, but Grandmother Jia walked into the Lin family with a happy face, but when she came out, she was full of anger.
Not long after returning to the Jia family, Grandmother Jia fell ill and died within a few days.
The old lady of the Jia family passed away suddenly, and the Jia family fell into chaos as if they were leaderless. When Jia Min wanted to attend Jia's grandmother's funeral, the Jia family drove her out on the grounds that a married woman was not qualified to attend funerals.
During the scuffle, Jia Min was pushed to the ground, and the rough ground rubbed off a layer of skin on her wrist, and blood gushed out instantly.
The Jia family members were still watching coldly nearby, and cursed Jia Min for her bad luck due to her bleeding. These were heard by Lin Ruhai who happened to arrive.
Lin Ruhai, who was protective of his people, used his mental power to pressure all of them, forcing them to kneel heavily on the ground. Their kneecaps were shattered, bones pierced their skin, and blood gushed out from under their knees.
That day, the ground in front of the mourning hall was stained red with blood, and the funeral ended hastily.
It was also on that day that Jia Min completely severed her relationship with the Jia family.
After all, Jia Min remembered the kindness of her grandmother in raising her, and although she did not show her filial piety in front of the mourning hall, she wore mourning clothes and set up a small Buddhist temple in the Lin family, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha for her grandmother, and reciting the mantra for her to be reborn.
Lin Ruhai had no objection to this. The Lin family was controlled by Lin Ruhai, and no one dared to reveal a word about what happened in the family.
The title of the Jia family was taken back, so naturally the remaining members of the Jia family could no longer live in the Rongguo Mansion. This mansion was given to them when the previous emperor bestowed the title. Now that the title was gone, the house would naturally be confiscated.
The Jia family of this generation was very extravagant and wasteful, and soon they ran out of money. The whole family left Chang'an City in disgrace and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Jia Baoyu also left Chang'an and had no contact with Lin Daiyu again in this life.
Jia Yuanchun in the palace was directly banished to the cold palace by the emperor, with no possibility of regaining his favor.
Lin Ruhai was very satisfied with everything he saw now. Anyway, he just wanted his wife and children to live a good life, and all the unfavorable factors that were harmful to his family should disappear.
Lin Ruhai's actions against the four major families naturally attracted the attention of some clan members.
They were afraid of Lin Ruhai and were also angry at his behavior. They had a lot of dealings with the Jia family. As the son-in-law of the Jia family, Lin Ruhai dared to treat his own in-laws in this way. They used this to criticize Lin Ruhai in the court, trying to leave an impression of Lin Ruhai as a heartless and ungrateful person in the emperor's mind.
Unfortunately, their fate was the same as those who had offended Lin Ruhai before.
Even more tragic than them.
The emperor was also holding a grudge against these clan members. He was very happy to see them taking the initiative to run into the gun, so how could he become alienated from Lin Ruhai?
The emperor was still thinking in his heart: Lin Ruhai is really a useful knife. I really regret why I didn’t transfer him to Chang’an earlier.
Seeing the fate of a few clan members who stood out, the rest of them became as quiet as quails. Some were even so scared that they became cowards and closed their doors to visitors.
Less than half a year after Lin Ruhai arrived in Chang'an, he had already caused unrest in the aristocratic circle.
From then on, Lin Ruhai became a scourge that no one dared to offend, and the Lin family was isolated by the major families. No one dared to make friends with anyone from the Lin family, whether they were masters or servants.
Previously, a disciple of the clan felt that he could not deal with Lin Ruhai, so he took out his anger on the servants of the Lin family. The servants of the Lin family who went out to purchase were arrested and beaten on trumped-up charges.
After Lin Ruhai found out, he not only asked the disciple to apologize to the beaten slave in public, but also caused the family behind him to bleed heavily, causing the family's strength to plummet.
In the end, everyone mentally added the Lin family's servants to the list of people who should not be provoked.
After being trained by Lin Ruhai, the servants of the Lin family would naturally not do anything to discredit the Lin family outside.
Be kind to others when you should be kind, be polite when you should be polite, and resolutely avoid causing trouble for the host.
Therefore, the common people in Chang'an all had a good impression of Lin Ruhai, but the clan members hated Lin Ruhai to the core.
Lin Ruhai originally thought this was fine, until the children grew up, and then he realized that being too isolated was not a good thing.
As for the marriage of his son and daughter, few good families were willing to marry into their family.
After a tour of Chang'an, Lin Ruhai felt that he had had enough of the place, so he asked for his resignation from the emperor and said he wanted to take his wife and daughter back to Yangzhou.
Yangzhou's feng shui is good for health, and he likes it there very much.
As for Lin Lei, Lin Lei was intelligent, and his attainments in martial arts were no less than his attainments in literature. When Lin Ruhai knew that his son wanted to join the army, he sent him to the barracks to train without saying a word.
Now at the age of twenty, he relied on himself to rise to the position of deputy general. Later, he came back to take the imperial examination and won the third place, which was the same rank that Lin Ruhai got in the imperial examination.
Lin Lei is a man of both literary and martial talents, and his reputation spread far and wide. Families who originally didn't know who Lin Lei's father was wanted to bring him home to be their son-in-law. But when they learned the name of Lin Lei's father, they all sent him back to the Lin family with great respect.
The girls who had secretly fallen in love with Lin Lei began to back off when they found out that his father was a horrible black-hearted tiger. Even some girls who wanted to fight for their love were stopped by their families.
Lin Lei and Lin Daiyu, both handsome men and beautiful women, should have been popular in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an, but because their fathers had a "bad reputation", no one dared to propose marriage to them.
The emperor also knew that Lin Ruhai's behavior affected the marriage of his children.
He was also kind enough to discuss with Lin Ruhai whether he should let his son marry the princess and let his daughter become his son's principal wife.
Lin Ruhai shook his head repeatedly when he heard this.
No!
There were many royal affairs, and Lin Ruhai would never let his children have any connection with the royal family.
Although the emperor was very unhappy with Lin Ruhai's attitude towards marrying into the royal family, he still chose to let her go.
When Lin Ruhai left Chang'an, many noble families closed their doors and set off firecrackers to celebrate the devil's departure.
Lin Ruhai knew what they were thinking, so when he left, he gave the emperor a big gift to let him know what kind of image his ministers had in private.
The day after Lin Ruhai left, the ministers who had come to court happily were gradually replaced by fear when they saw the emperor looking at them with a strange expression.
No, why is your majesty looking at them like that? Have they been caught doing something wrong?
