[5400 words, two in one]

Lai Da slapped his son on the face, which stunned everyone in the room.

But it wasn't over yet. Lai Da pointed at Lai Murong's nose and cursed: "You traitor! How dare you do such a thing behind your family's back? Aren't you afraid of being cut to pieces?!"

Everyone present, except Xue Pan and Laishun, had discussed this matter with Lai Da face to face, but he said out of nowhere that he was going behind his back.

Jia Qiang was the first to notice something strange and silently retreated behind Jia Rong.

Lai Murong thought differently, thinking that his father regretted it and didn't want to make up for the five thousand taels of silver for himself, so he came to make trouble, so he said angrily: "I will give it to my brother. I borrowed the money myself based on my ability."

, you have to take care of it..."

"You bastard, why don't you shut up!"

Lai Da slapped his son in the face again.

But this time Lai Murong refused to obey. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his father's wrist and said angrily: "If you rebel against your son, you will rebel against your son. Anyway, from now on, my surname will be Jiao!"

"How dare you say it, how dare you say it! Whatever your surname is Jiao, you deserve the surname Jiao..."

The father and son were having a fuss when they heard footsteps coming from outside, and then someone breathlessly ordered: "Here, guard the hospital gate. Without my instructions, no one can do anything."

put in!"

Listening to the sound, it was Jia Zhen who had arrived.

When Jia Zhen entered the flower hall and saw Lai Da actually present, he couldn't help but frown slightly. However, his eyes did not stay on Lai Da. Instead, after scanning around, he settled on Lai Da.

Come on Laishun.

"How did you tie him up?!"

Just listen to him yelling sternly: "Who did this? Why don't you untie him quickly!"

This attitude...

It was actually a 180-degree turn!

At this time, even Jia Rong and Lai Murong were vaguely aware that the momentum was not right.

Jia Qiang, on the other hand, hurriedly stepped forward to untie Laishun's rope.

"do what?"

Xue Pan was not happy at this time. After all, he came to lend Lai Murong five thousand taels of silver in order to make Lai Shun suffer more.

But just as he was about to stop him, Lai Da pulled him aside and stood on tiptoe to say something in his ear.

Xue Datou's expression suddenly changed, and then he looked at Lai Shun with horrified eyes.

Jia Qiang had already come around behind Laishun and was about to untie the rope from his wrist when Laishun suddenly turned around and gestured for him to take out the towel from his mouth first.

Jia Qiang followed suit and hurriedly pulled out the towel with a smile.

Unexpectedly, after there was no obstacle in Laishun's mouth, she spat all over his face without hesitation!

The smile on Jia Qiang's face froze, and Jia Zhen frowned slightly at the door, but immediately urged him again and again: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Untie him quickly!"

Seeing Jia Zhen's reaction, Lai Shun became more and more convinced that this must be another big upset, otherwise how could Jia Zhen be willing to swallow her anger in front of him?

So he allowed Jia Qiang, who was full of grievances, to untie himself, and then strode to the table, first took Lai Murong's resume, and then picked up the manuscript with 'Jiao Shun' written all over it.

"Come on……"

Lai Da seemed to want to stop him, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to address Lai Shun.

Laishun put the 'evidence' away, then turned to look at Jia Zhen, Lai and the elder two, grinning and grinning: "Please ask Uncle Zhen to clear up my doubts. It was an imposter before, but now you guys

What is it that is being sung?"

"this……"

Jia Zhen glanced at Lai Da and said with a forced smile: "My nephew misunderstood. I didn't know what happened before. They were all from below..."

"Uncle Jane."

Hearing the word 'nephew', Laishun became more and more wary. He interrupted Jia Zhen's explanation rudely and asked aggressively: "There's no need to talk about this nonsense! What I want to know now is, what's going on outside?

What happened that made you come here to 'save me' in such a condescending manner?"

Jia Zhen's face darkened as she was choked by him. She gritted her teeth as if she was going to be violent, but she finally endured it and forced a smile again and said: "My dear nephew, it is true that the person below is so bold..."

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Laishun turning around and walking outside without saying a word.

"Good nephew!"

Jia Zhen was immediately anxious. Regardless of her status and dignity, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Lai Shun: "What are you going to do?!"

"I'm going to find someone to find out who or what happened that made you two change your mind."

When Lai Shun said this, he turned around and looked around at everyone in the room, took out the evidence he had just collected and sneered: "Then I'll talk to this person again, let's see whose handiwork this is!"

"you you……"

Jia Zhen was angry and annoyed, but also frightened and frightened.

After hesitating for a few words, he suddenly said in frustration: "Come on, come on, we can't hide this matter from you, so let's open the skylight and speak openly! Just now, the cousin in the palace passed the news..."

Things have to start from this morning.

At about 2:30 a.m. [7:30 in the morning], Jia Yuanchun had just finished breakfast when a eunuch came over and summoned her, asking her to go and 'accompany the king'.

But this time, what we were going to was not the usual palace, but the racecourse in Xiyuan.

When they arrived at the place, they saw Emperor Longyuan standing on the edge of the school grounds, looking at a weapons rack - but what was placed on the weapons rack was not a weapon, but two pneumatic tires that had been 'disemboweled'

.

Because the Wuxi people invaded again, there was almost a mess outside the palace. Unexpectedly, Emperor Longyuan still had such a leisurely mood.

Seeing that Yuanchun had arrived, Emperor Longyuan did not wait for her to come forward to greet her, but he laughed loudly and said: "I was so busy the past few days that I forgot about this matter. I have to give it a try today, and it is better than I thought before.

It’s even more sophisticated.”

With that said, he directly pulled Yuan Chun to the shelf, pointed to the tires on it and said: "Look at this pattern, it not only allows it to grip the road better and exert force, but also increases the thickness to a considerable extent and reduces the use of materials! It also

There is this..."

He talked about several benefits as if he were counting treasures from his family, and finally concluded: "This thing is good for both the military and the people. It's a pity that the price is a bit high, so I'm afraid it may not benefit the general public."

"His Majesty."

Yuanchun said hurriedly: "I heard from my family that production will be expanded in the future, and this thing will probably be cheap by then."

"Your family finally did something serious!"

Emperor Longyuan took the handkerchief from the little eunuch next to him, and while wiping his hands, he said casually: "I heard that a young servant in your house came up with it? It's rare that he has such a clever idea to let your family give it to him.

Get rid of your citizenship and be sent to the Ministry of Works as an official."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

"His Majesty!"

Just when Yuan Chun was about to thank him, Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the palace next to him, suddenly interrupted: "I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."

"how?!"

Emperor Longyuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, threw the handkerchief on Dai Quan's face, and cursed: "Does even a bitch like you think that I shouldn't promote a craftsman as an official?"

"How dare you slave!"

Dai Quan hurriedly turned over and knelt down, and reported repeatedly: "Those low-ranking officials can't be considered officials. The reason why the old slave said something wrong is because it was mentioned in the newspaper a few days ago, saying that this young man won Ningguo."

Favored by a meritorious servant in the palace, he will soon inherit the title of Spylord Yun Qiwei."

At this point, he raised his head and said: "And since he already has Yun Qiwei's Spylord, if he goes to the Ministry of Works to be a low-ranking official, I'm afraid it will be a little against the rules."

"Is there such a thing?"

Emperor Longyuan then extinguished his thunder and ordered Dai Quan to tell the story in detail. Then he praised Jiao Da a few times and fell into deep thought again.

After a long while, Emperor Longyuan finally asked again: "Is there still a vacancy for the position of Baigong Division?"

Dai Quan said respectfully: "The rest of the offices are complete, except for the office of miscellaneous workers, which is still vacant."

"It's quite appropriate."

Emperor Longyuan nodded and said to Jia Yuanchun: "Send a message to your parents' family and ask them to come forward to recommend this... What is his name?"

Dai Quan was busy reminding him: "Originally, my name was Lai Shun, but now I heard that my surname has been changed to Jiao."

Emperor Longyuan said flatly: "Let your family recommend Jiao Shun at the beginning of next month... Well, since this title comes from the Ningguo Mansion, let the Ningguo Mansion recommend him."

But Jia Yuanchun was a little hesitant this time, and carefully reminded: "I heard that Jiao Shun is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he has never read any books. If..."

"Those who read too much may not necessarily be a good thing!"

Emperor Longyuan interrupted her unhappily and said: "You also know that since the Western Yi invaded the southeast, I have been determined to repeat Taizu's 'industrial innovation' move."

"However, there are too many constraints from the government. Even the Ministry of Works is full of old-fashioned people. I originally wanted to appoint a few craftsmen as officials to change the atmosphere of the Ministry of Works, but I was blocked by the court.

"Now that your family has a hereditary title and some craftsmanship, it can be a good compromise. It can not only show my determination, but also not overly irritate the old stubborns in the court."

Hearing this, Jia Yuanchun had no choice but to ambush him in advance and said, "I am afraid that he will fail your majesty's trust."

"It's just a casual move."

Emperor Longyuan said nonchalantly: "He is not a serious craftsman. It would be best if he is qualified. If he is not qualified, I will just choose someone from a craftsman to replace him!"

After a pause, he added: "Furthermore, from now on, your pneumatic tires will be sold to the Guangxi Governor's Office - tell them that I will be of great use!"

…………

Jia Zhen's retelling is naturally not so detailed, but the general context of the emperor's intention to promote Laishun Qu to the Ministry of Industry and specifically name him so that the Ningguo Mansion would recommend him is still very clear.

After Laishun heard this, he felt a little unbelievable for a moment.

Previously, he and his father had lamented, "Everything depends on people, and everything depends on heaven." Who could have imagined that just a few days later, "heaven" would turn upside down!

No wonder the attitudes of Jia Zhen and Lai Da have undergone earth-shaking changes.

No matter how audacious they are, and how they dare to collude with the Ministry of War and commit such devious acts, how dare they ignore the emperor's will?!

In fact, Jia Zhen now wants to try her best to appease Lai Shun, otherwise if Lai Shun reveals this matter, the Ningguo Mansion will probably be destroyed!

To put it bluntly, this kind of nonsense has happened in every dynasty.

If the superiors don't pay attention to it, you can dig out every family's graves and kick down widows' doors all day long, and you can still enjoy wealth and wealth; but if you pay attention to it, if you dig it with a shovel, you will probably cut off all the descendants of the whole family!

After figuring out these joints, Laishun took a deep breath and finally suppressed the urge to expose the matter and let Jia Zhen and his son be severely punished.

After all, if we do this, we will be in a fight to the death with the Jia family. If things go wrong, our family and the Ningguo Mansion may die together.

If everything is at the end of the road, if we die together, we will die together. But seeing that they have all been chosen by the emperor, and it is obvious that the future is bright, how can Lai Shunyou be willing to commit suicide?

Moreover, the emperor's intention was very clear. He wanted the Ning Guo Mansion to come forward to recommend him. If he destroyed the Ning Guo Mansion first, there would be a question mark as to whether the official position would fall to him.

That’s all~

With this information in hand, there will be many opportunities to manipulate the father and son in the future!

And what Laishun hates the most right now is not the people from Ningguo Mansion, but...

Laishun's eyes fell on Lai Da, Lai Murong and his son - this matter started from Lai Da, but Lai Murong was worried about his title, and deliberately kidnapped himself and humiliated him in front of him!

Lai Murong had previously heard that Lai Shun had been appointed by the emperor to serve as an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was already frightened out of his mind. When he glared at him, his thin legs could no longer hold him up and he collapsed limply on the ground.

It's like trembling chaff.

"snort."

Laishun snorted coldly, rubbed the marks on his wrists, and said, "Uncle Zhen, you just kept saying that the people below are acting recklessly, but you don't know which one you are talking about?"

When Jia Zhen heard this, she felt relieved at first, and then she pointed at Lai Murong without hesitation and cursed: "It's this plagued dog slave! He didn't know how to gain access, and he even thought of pretending to be someone else.

It was only because I arrived in time that I almost got fooled by him!"

At this point, Jia Zhen raised her voice and ordered: "Come here, tie up this crazy Lai Murong and hand him over to Mr. Li to bring him to justice!"

That Li Langzhong was the Ministry of War official who had previously referred to a deer as a horse. At this time, Lai Murong was handed over to him, and he would probably be silenced.

However, Lai Shunke was not satisfied with this, but looked at Lai Da with unsatisfied thoughts: "On his own, he might not even be able to find the gate of the Ministry of War, right?"

Jia Zhen heard what Xian meant. Even though Lai Da was a close confidant of Jia's mother, and his family's chief manager, Lai Sheng, was Lai Da's younger brother, he didn't care much about it now.

At that moment, he also pointed the finger at Lai Da: "Manager Lai, what do you say?! You might as well go..."

"The traitor!"

At this time, Lai Da shouted loudly and asked his son: "Where did you get the money to smoothen the relationship?!"

Lai Murong drank from him without hesitation and replied subconsciously: "It was Mr. Xue who lent it to me!"

Xue Pan was also very frightened now. When he saw Lai Murong identifying him, his mouth was wide open and he didn't know how to defend himself.

Lai Da let go of his son, and bowed his hands to Jia Zhen in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and said: "Uncle Zhen, you heard me too - if I am the mastermind behind this matter, why does this treacherous son need to borrow money from Mr. Biao?"

After a pause, he said to Laishun: "If Mr. Jiao insists on going to court, I will accompany him!"

This old thing!

Only then did Lai Shun understand why Xue Pan got involved, but it turned out that Lai Da had prepared the ambush!

"this……"

Jia Zhen looked embarrassed. Without this most important evidence, it would not be easy to punish Lai Da severely, and the Xue family would be involved accidentally.

He hesitated again and again, and first waved away the servants of the Ning Mansion who rushed in, and then said with a sneer: "Xian... Mr. Jiao, the ugliness of this family cannot be made public. In my opinion, it is better not to..."

"Then there's no need to send Lai Murong to see the official!" Lai Shun interrupted him and said in a deep voice, "Let's just keep it private!"

Jia Zhenqi asked: "Private? How can you privatize the law?"

Laishun didn't say anything, walked up to Lai Murong, looked at him from head to toe, and then put him back on his legs.

"Please help me hold him down."

Jia Qiang and Jia Rong were still hesitating after hearing this, but Xue Pan stepped forward and kicked Lai Murong over, stepped on his chest and cursed: "Damn it, I'm kind enough to lend you money, but you and your son seem to be biting back at me."

One bite!”

As he said that, he looked at Lai Shun favorably: "Come on...Brother Jiao, do you think we should do something right?"

Lai Shun ignored him and went around the table, carrying two chairs back. He knocked one of them down and placed it in front of Lai Murong, then put his legs up on it.

Lai Murong vaguely guessed something, so he struggled desperately and begged for mercy.

So Laishun said again: "Here comes another person, let me hold his legs down."

Jia Zhen kept urging from the side, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang came over hesitantly and held down Lai Murong's legs together.

Smoothly and slowly, he pushed Lai Murong's pants up to his thighs, peeling off two skinny, hairy legs.

Then without saying a word, he raised the mahogany armchair high, rounded it, aimed it at Lai Murong's knee, and hit it hard!

"Ah~~!"

Amidst the heart-rending screams, the thin leg was smashed in half!

The white bones pierced the skin and were exposed ferociously. The bright red blood was like a fountain, and a lot of it even fell into the hands of Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.

How had the two of them seen this before?

Then he lifted Xue Murong's legs and screamed like a woman.

Xue Pan's legs were also trembling a little, but more than fear, it was inexplicable excitement. He swallowed dryly, and when he looked at Lai Shunshi, he felt seven points less hostile and three points more awe.

This is the effect Laishun wants.

Since it is difficult to affect Lai Da, instead of sending Lai Murong to justice, it is better to use him to scare the monkeys!

"Murong!"

Seeing this scene, Lai Da was so anxious that his eyes were about to burst. He took a few steps forward and was about to visit his son, but was forced back to his original position by Lai Shun with a chair.

"how?"

Laishun looked down at Lai Da and sneered: "Is it possible that General Manager Lai wants to drag him to see the official?"

Jia Zhen hid far away, but quickly helped: "It's better to keep it private, or it's better to keep it private. Manager Lai must not be confused!"

Unexpectedly, Laishun changed the topic and directed it at him: "Since Uncle Zhen likes to be private, then this other leg must be yours."

"ah?!"

Jia Zhen staggered in fright. Looking at the ferocious broken leg again, she didn't dare to move forward, so she waved her hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, you do it, you do it!"

"Uncle Zhen, why are you so polite to me?"

Lai Shun refused to give up: "And if we delay for a long time, this mangy dog ​​may not be saved."

"this……"

Jia Zhen looked at Lai Da subconsciously.

The muscles on Lai Da's face were twitching, but he still resisted and bowed deeply to Jia Zhen, saying word by word: "Uncle Zhen, just give him... give him a good time!"

After Lai Dadu said this, Jia Zhen had no choice but to step forward and took the chair from her trembling hand.

Laishun took the initiative to help him fix Lai Murong's left leg, and then urged Jia Zhen to do it quickly.

With a sad face, Jia Zhen reluctantly lifted the chair and slammed it down with her eyes closed.

"Ah~~"

Lai Murong's screams were loud again.

But what followed was the gentle voice of Laishun Yun: "It's not over, come again!"

Jia Zhen had already thrown the chair away, but after hearing these words, she had to lift it up again. This time she did not dare to close her eyes, and tried to increase her strength by three points.

Hands up and down!

There was a crunching sound, and the left leg suffered the same fate as the right leg.

Only then did Lai Shun let go of Lai Murong's short legs, and while shaking off the blood stained on his hands, he looked around at everyone with a sullen face.
Chapter completed!
