calling a function before redirecting to 404 page on findOrFail

when i delete something from database ... lets say a blog , i might want to redirect the link for that blog to another link instead of 404 page

i have a table called setting_redirects :

setting_redirects : id , deleted_link , redirect_link 

i'll store the deleted links and new link in this table

this is how i show a blog

function show( $blog_id ){

   $blog = Blog::findOrFail($blog_id);
}

the problem is if it's not found findOrFail will automatically redirect user to 404 page ... i want to be able to checksetting_redirects to see if a redirect is available for that blog .... if so redirect to that new link otherwise go to 404

something like this

function show( $blog_id ){

   $blog = Blog::find($blog_id);
   if(!$blog)
   {
      $redirect_available = SettingRedirect::where('deleted_link ' ,  Request::url() ) ->first();
     if($redirect_available )
       return redirect( $redirect_available-> redirect_link );
      else 
       abort(404);
   }
}

but i want this for all my tables not only blogs and i dont want to write this code in all of my controllers

is there anyway to do this without changing all my controllers ? maybe a middleware before going to 404 page ?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
