Chapter 288 Baoyu gets beaten (Part )

The old lady was so headache-stricken that she couldn't speak. Why did this evil creature suddenly explode today? He hit the old lady with a series of punches and she couldn't resist, making her unable to get off the stage.

"You just look down on our Wang family. How did our Wang family offend you?" Mrs. Wang knelt on the ground and looked at Zhao Yuanlang with hatred.

"I just look down on your Wang family. Don't think that Wang Ziteng is great just because he is the governor of the Beijing camp. In my eyes, he is nothing. The governor of the Beijing camp who can't command anyone still relies on our Jia family to get to where he is. Do you think he can really be the governor of the Beijing camp with his ability? Do you think those nobles will listen to him without my nod? How did the Xue family get a lot of money from the Wang family? How did our Jia family get a lot of money from the Wang family? The Wang family has a good plan to steal from other families to strengthen their own family. The Jinyiwei has a lot of black materials about your Wang family. Usually, I suppressed it for the sake of our relationship, but now you are telling me, so I will go to the palace to see the emperor and see if your Wang family can be sentenced to the crime of confiscation of property and extermination of the clan."

Everyone then remembered that Zhao Yuanlang was now the commander of the Jinyiwei. Jia's mother trembled and said, "Are you crazy? The Wang family is our in-laws, and you are sending someone else to go."

"This is what I am doing. I prioritize state affairs over family affairs. I will serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul until my death."

Jia Mu looked at Zhao Yuanlang's cold eyes and thought that he could really do it. She didn't say anything at this moment, looking at the trembling Wang Furen and Wang Xifeng. She had to admit that if Wang Furen said anything else, the Wang family might really be destroyed the next day.

"That's enough, stop talking."

Everyone looked at Grandmother Jia in surprise. This meant that Grandmother Jia had given in, things had changed, and the old ancestor was no longer the highest authority in the Jia family.

Seeing that Lady Jia had given in, Zhao Yuanlang pulled Jia Zheng up from the ground and said, "Today's incident was originally about Zheng Ge disciplining Bao Yu. Besides, Zheng Ge knows what's going on. Even if Zheng Ge is wrong, why are you guys trying to make a fuss? It's a joke."

Jia Zheng was very relieved because he felt that someone finally understood him.

"Speaking of which, why did Brother Zheng beat Baoyu?"

Jia Zheng embarrassedly recounted the visit of Prince Zhongshun's chief secretary, and also mentioned that Baoyu had gone to a brothel with a group of young masters.

Grandmother Jia's face darkened instantly. Jia Lian, who arrived late, looked at Jia Baoyu who was about to faint and felt that his cousin was quite promiscuous and was attracted to both men and women.

Mrs. Wang also looked at Baoyu under her in disbelief. She didn't expect that Baoyu would become like this.

"You're playing quite wildly!" Zhao Yuanlang walked up to Baoyu and kicked him.

"That's enough. Stop showing off your power as the clan leader here." Grandmother Jia looked at Baoyu, who was about to faint, with heartache and scolded Zhao Yuanlang.

"According to the clan rules, those who pursue women will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane to see the effect. If they do it again, they will be expelled from the clan. The clan rules don't say what to do with this person who molests men." Zhao Yuanlang said sarcastically.

"That's enough, stop talking." Grandmother Jia said angrily.

"Okay, okay, since that's the case, since Zheng Ge has already beaten Baoyu, I won't say anything more. If the old lady wants Baoyu to have a bright future, leave him to me. I can guarantee that after my training, Baoyu may not be able to excel in both literary and military strategies, but I can definitely teach Baoyu to become a Jinshi."

Zhao Yuanlang's words moved Jia's mother a little, and Jia Huan rolled his eyes: "Uncle, can I go too? I want to learn martial arts from you, I want to fight in the battlefield, I want to be a general!"

"You dirty bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you learning martial arts?" Aunt Zhao pulled her son hard.

Zhao Yuanlang frowned and glared at Aunt Zhao: "Huan'er has his own ideas, why are you trying to stop him? Isn't it good for a man to have ambitions? Apart from anything else, as long as Huan'er has a promising future, I will guarantee him a title."

Aunt Zhao was frightened by Zhao Yuanlang's look, but when she heard Zhao Yuanlang say that Jia Huan could get a title, she immediately smiled and said, "Then Huan'er will be handed over to you. I'll leave your third sister-in-law to you."

"You dirty bastard, whose third sister-in-law are you? Go back." Grandmother Jia frowned and scolded Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao then hurried away, and Tanchun looked at Zhao Yuanlang with gratitude.

"Baoyu should move out of Yihong Courtyard. After all, Daiyu is old enough and there is a difference between men and women. Baoyu should temporarily live in Jiangyun Pavilion. Move Xiren and the others out of the laundry room. Except for the maids in the room, replace all the others with male servants. When the injury is healed, I will shamelessly ask His Majesty for a quota to send Baoyu to the Imperial College."

Grandmother Jia, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang all became happy at once.

"Brother Mu, how can you be so embarrassed? Your family already has a quota, why are you asking His Majesty for help?" Jia Zheng looked at Zhao Yuanlang with gratitude.

"We are a family after all, Baoyu is my nephew after all, I am unmarried and childless, so it's okay to use my quota. On your side, I plan to leave the quota for Lan'er, Lan'er is a talented seed. Brother Zheng, I am not saying that I am most optimistic about Lan'er in Rong Mansion. Let him go to my East Mansion first and I will help teach him. I am afraid that Lan'er will be spoiled on your side. Lan'er, are you willing to follow your uncle?"

"I do!" Although Jia Lan is young, he is very opinionated.

"Thank you, uncle!" Jia Lan's mother Li Wan hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

"Okay, aunt, are you satisfied with my arrangement?" Zhao Yuanlang then looked at Lady Jia with a smile.

Grandmother Jia was no longer angry at this time: "Forget it, forget it. I am old after all. You should be in charge of Rong Mansion from now on. Brother She and Brother Zheng are not cut out for this. Yuanyang, help me go back."

Three days later, Zhao Yuanlang, a member of the Jia clan, stood in the lobby and looked at his clansmen below.

"Today, I will talk about a few things. One is about Baoyu. You have all heard a lot about him recently. So, I think that I, as the clan leader, have neglected your management."

Zhao Yuanlang's words were very harsh, and the clansmen below were silent.

"I was busy some time ago and didn't bother to take care of you. I've made some time to come here now to settle accounts with you. Uncle Dai Ru, Uncle Dai Xiu, I'm going to enforce family rules today."

Jia Dairu and Jia Daixiu nodded, and soon several servants stood on both sides with whips and boards.

"You all know what I do. I have serious matters to attend to, so there is no need to make excuses for me. Jia Qiang is a playboy, and according to clan rules, he should be caned thirty times..."

Jia Qiang was trembling all over. He looked at Zhao Yuanlang for help, but Zhao Yuanlang waved his hand and two servants pinned Jia Qiang down on a bench and started beating him.

Next was Jia Dairu's grandson, Jia Rui, the only child in his family. Because of his bad conduct and his love of taking advantage of others, he was sentenced to forty strokes of the cane according to the clan rules.

Although Jia Dairu had only this one grandson and doted on him, he knew that this was for Jia Rui's own good, so he held back his tears and watched Jia Rui being beaten with forty boards.

Soon, as everyone was beaten with the stick, only seven or eight were still standing.

Zhao Yuanlang nodded and said, "For Jia Yun and other clan members who have performed well, I have personally decided to take out 200 acres of land from the East Palace and the income from five shops to form the clan's public funds. Of course, this money is supervised by our East Palace. In addition to distributing things during the New Year and other festivals, we will also evaluate the clan members and distribute additional funds and materials to those with outstanding performance every year. Jia Yun, you step forward and each take ten taels of silver, as well as some rice, flour and oil."

Jia Yun and others bowed to Zhao Yuanlang with gratitude.

"In addition, my East Mansion will use the income from 200 acres of land to support the clan school and recruit teachers. They will teach etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. When Uncle Dai Ru and Uncle Dai Xiu get older, they will serve as the headmaster and dean of the clan school. From now on, you two will receive monthly allowances and you can discipline the little brats in the clan."

"Then we two old bones will contribute our strength to the clan." This is a good thing. The two old men originally lived in poverty, and now they will no longer have to worry about food and clothing.

"Finally, you all have to remember this: if you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do not, you will be punished. If anyone dares to break the clan rules again, be careful. My prison has been very empty recently. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"
