The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 513 Aftermath [Last Part]

The back office of Shuntian Mansion.

Hearing Mei Guangyan's righteous indignation repeatedly emphasizing that his family had been wronged, Jia Yucun raised his hand and pressed twice, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient.

Then he said in an official tone: "Of course Jia knows about the grievances your brother suffered, but I exhausted my lips and tongue yesterday, and the Xue family still refused to let it go-the second son of the Xue family said, or conduct a thorough investigation with great fanfare. This case; or, let your brother write a confession, saying that this is the only way, so that you don't have to worry about being retaliated by you in the future."

"Absurd, extremely absurd!"

Hearing this, Mei Guangyan was furious, and said angrily: "My mother took poison and committed suicide in a moment of righteous indignation because the Dragon Guards arrested people indiscriminately. My family is the one who suffered. Why should I write a confession? What crime is there to admit?!"

"Don't worry, bro."

Jia Yucun raised her hand again, and when Mei Guangyan sat back on the chair indignantly, she spread her hands and said, "You said that Lingtang committed suicide, but she, a bad old man, did she get the poison to kill herself?" ?”

"This……"

Mei Guangyan was at a loss for words for a while, but quickly said: "When I go back, I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I will definitely give you an explanation at that time!"

Jia Yucun shook his head again and again: "Not to mention the results of your brother's self-examination, whether the Xue family will admit it or not, in my opinion, the Xue family will never give your brother the opportunity to self-examine!"

As he said that, he put on a bitter face and said: "First, the matter of retiring was reversed by Xue's family, and now you are involved in the case of the Ministry of Rites for some reason. At this moment, if it is revealed that Lingtang died of poisoning... ..."

"If you want me to say, there is still room for improvement in the first two matters, but if the matter of the Lingtang is spread-don't forget, your brother is known for his filial piety. If there is a problem with this fundamental problem, I'm afraid that you will be in trouble in the future." There is no longer any place to stand."

When Mei Guangyan heard this, her blood gradually became cold by seven points.

Jia Yucun's words hit the nail on the head.

Although Mei Guangyan has lost his reputation among the people and temporarily cut off contact with his relatives and friends, in the final analysis, these two actions were aimed at Jiao Shun, the public enemy of scholars, and there are actually no people who secretly sympathize with him. A small number, even some people in high positions.

But if the filial mother-in-law sets up a problem...

Who in this world would take the risk of using a person suspected of killing his mother? !
Seeing that Mei Guangyan was about to let go, Jia Yucun was about to hit the iron while the iron was hot, when suddenly he heard the entourage outside yelling: "Master, Master, there is a decree, there is a decree, the emperor wants you to enter the palace immediately to see him!"

"what?!"

Jia Yucun suddenly got up.

Don't look at him as a third-rank Zheng now, but he was summoned by the emperor alone, that is, the time he performed his duties a while ago, and the emperor just tried a few words as a matter of routine, and let him kneel down.

Now that he heard the emperor's call, Jia Yucun couldn't help but subconsciously arranged the crown and court clothes on his body, and asked repeatedly: "Where is the angel?"

"This... I passed an oral order at the gate of the yamen, and I left directly."

"Ok?"

The smile on Jia Yucun's face froze, but he thought to himself that this might not be a good omen. Could it be that the emperor's summons was actually due to some mistakes in himself?
But he thought about it, and he couldn't think of any evil deeds he had done recently that would alarm the emperor—it can't be said that there were none, but those things should never be heard by the emperor no matter what.

Could it be that he was also implicated in the case of the Ministry of Rites?
Thinking that Jiao Shun is in the yamen now, he should be the clearest about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, so Jia Yucun took a step forward and wanted to find out about Jiao Shun.

"cough~"

But as soon as he took two steps outside, he heard a light cough from the side, and Jia Yucun remembered that Mei Guangyan was still there, but at this moment, he didn't care about talking to Mei Guangyan any more, and turned around and saluted Said: "The emperor sees the call, and there is really no delay. You might as well think it over carefully, and we can discuss it later when we think clearly."

Mei Guangyan also knew that Jia Yucun was in a hurry to see the emperor, so she didn't intend to pester him.

But there was one thing he had to mention.

"My lord, I wonder if we can let the dog go home first?"

"This……"

Jia Yucun pretended to hesitate for a moment, then shook his hands and said, "Come on, let me take care of your brother—someone, take Mrs. Mei to pick up his son and go home."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mei Guangyan to thank him, he cupped his hands and said "Farewell", and hurried out of the back office.

However, when he found the side hall and asked, he heard that Jiao Shun had wandered around the backyard for a while, and left without saying goodbye.

In desperation, Jia Yucun had no choice but to rush to Donghua Gate to hand out a sign to see you.

Let's not mention that.

But it was said that Mei Guangyan followed a book office and went round and round to a secluded and simple courtyard.

Entering the courtyard gate, you can see that there are some small rooms with single doors and single houses all around.

According to the book office's introduction, this place is specially used to detain some identifiable suspects—this can be regarded as the characteristic of Shuntian Mansion, after all, there are too many people at the foot of the imperial city.

When they reached the third door on the left, the book office was about to order the jailer to open the door, but found that the door was not covered at all. He raised his hand in surprise and pushed it, and saw that besides Mei Baosen, there was also a petite and exquisite The woman is also in it.

"You are……"

"How did you get in?"

Just as the book office was about to ask questions, Mei Guangyan couldn't help but barged in, and said to the woman, "Didn't I tell you to wait outside?"

"I……"

Mrs. Mei timidly avoided her husband's gaze, subconsciously covered her cherry lips with a veil, and said timidly: "I am anxious to see my son, so..."

"father."

Mabelson also looked uncomfortable beside him.

After all, he had poisoned his grandmother first, and then intended to misbehave with his mother, so no matter how much he underestimated his biological father, he would inevitably feel guilty at this time.

"Brainless fool!"

Mei Guangyan glared at her son, subconsciously wanting to scold her, but when she saw the book office and prison outside the door, she suppressed her anger and said with a dark face: "This is not a place to talk, go out with me first! "

As soon as Mei Baosen heard that he could walk, he didn't care about any guilt at the moment, and hurriedly agreed to follow behind his father step by step.

Mrs. Mei wanted to follow subconsciously, but she stopped after taking half a step, turned around and poured a cup of tea from the table, took a big gulp in her mouth, gurgled a few times, and then spit Under the steps.

"doing what?"

Mei Guangyan gave his wife an unhappy look, and was very dissatisfied with her behavior that violated etiquette.

Mei Baosen was very puzzled, Gein's mother had already rinsed her mouth when she entered the door, and she rinsed it again before going out...

What kind of dirty food did you eat before you came here?

Mrs. Mei didn't answer, she just wiped the water stains on her mouth with a handkerchief.

Seeing this, Mei Guangyan didn't continue to pursue the matter, but turned around and led his wife and children out of Shuntian Mansion.

When he saw his own carriage outside, Mei Baosen was naturally happy, but Mei Guangyan stopped him with his hand, and cursed: "Little bastard, the old lady's bones are not cold, thanks to you, you can still laugh!"

Mabelson is busy expressing sadness.

Madam Mei changed the subject and asked, "Master, how is the discussion going?"

"No way."

Mei Guangyan saw that there was no one else around, so she told about the Xue family's insistence on choosing one of the two, and she also slightly revealed her concerns: "If you can find out the origin of the poison, that's fine, but if you can't find out ..."

Hearing the words, Mei Baosen secretly screamed that it was not good. For him, if he found out the origin of the poison, everything would be aborted!

He had just heard his mother talk about what happened yesterday, and then he remembered that there is still a method of autopsy in the world, and now he has no intention of slandering Xue's family, and he wished that the matter would be settled like this.

He wanted to persuade his father to just write the confession, but he didn't know how to speak, so he turned to his mother for help.

Because of Jiao Shun's dictation opportunity, Mrs. Mei has something in her belly, so she is not as flustered as before, and said directly and solemnly: "Master, I will write this confession - if the Xue family gets a chance to renege on their promises and become fat, then I will come forward to take the blame! "

"This, this... Then I will wrong you."

Seeing his wife stepping forward to bear this terrible crime, Mei Guangyan was so moved that he couldn't be more moved. No wonder everyone said 'a family with a good wife will not suffer misfortune'!

…………

Wenhua Hall.

Jia Yucun handed over the sign outside the Donghua Gate with trepidation, but soon saw the emperor in the Wenhua Hall.

But after he shouted long live, he didn't see the emperor responding for a long time. He could only vaguely feel the weird probing sight coming from behind the imperial case, as if he wanted to see through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

Jia Yucun became more and more terrified, and was desperately recalling again why he offended the emperor, so he listened to the emperor's order: "You all go down."

This sentence calmed Jia Yucun a lot, and he thought that if the emperor wanted to be furious, there was no need to dismiss the servants.

Could it be that……

Is there any private matter that you want to tell yourself to do?
Thinking of this, Jia Yucun began to tremble excitedly again. In his opinion, although Jiao Shun has some skills, his level of flattery is even higher. Shun instead...

Bah~
What would replace it? I was born in a dignified Imperial Academy. Once I was appreciated by the emperor, how can I compare with someone like Jiao in terms of future?

However, when he thought about it more and more, his blood boiled, he suddenly heard the emperor ask in a strange way: "Why don't I know that you, Shuntian Mansion, are also working as an errand for Mr. Gui?"

Before the words fell, Jia Yucun's head exploded with a 'buzz'.

Don't ask, what the emperor said must have happened last night!

But only I, Xue Biao, Jiao Shun and Mrs. Mei knew what happened yesterday, so how could it be...

Could it be that Jiao Changqing even reported such things to the emperor? !
For a moment, Jia Yucun almost suspected that Jiao Shun's head was burned out, or he was just a lack of heart!
But after he gradually regained some composure, he immediately understood Jiao Shun's intentions.

The reason why the emperor valued Jiao Shun was not because he liked his moral articles, but because he valued his various innovations in the Ministry of Industry. Such a small trick of moral demerit, not only did not damage the emperor's trust in him, but made the emperor feel He is easy to master, and loyal and sincere.

Good Jiao Changqing!
Before I took the opportunity to pinch his weaknesses, I was betrayed by him!

Jia Yucun's teeth itched with hatred, because he was old and cunning, and he didn't know how to deal with it at this time, and he was sweating profusely for a while.

"how?"

Emperor Longyuan raised his voice slightly: "You don't admit it?"

"I, I dare not!"

Jia Yucun grabbed the land with his head, and argued anxiously: "I am, I am worried that the matter will make a big fuss, and instead create side issues, so I, I just..."

"So, do I still want to praise you for being mature and prudent?"

"I dare not, I dare not!"

"Hmph~ The bones of the old lady of the Mei family are not yet cold, and you will do everything you can to intimidate and lure her before her death. It's really thanks to you for doing it!"

"The minister, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!"

The sweat on Jia Yucun's forehead even dripped into his eyes, but he didn't even dare to raise his hand to wipe it, so he could only kowtow and hit the bluestone slab with a bang bang bang.

"Hmph~ It's also a good thing that Jiao Shun still has some integrity, and he doesn't want to make trouble, otherwise..." Emperor Longyuan said here, and suddenly changed the subject: "However, the Mei family also suffered on their own. crooked."

Jia Yucun didn't know how to respond to these words, but there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"That's it."

At this time, the emperor said again: "Just write it down this time, if there is another time, I will definitely kill you!"

"Thank you Lord Long En, thank you Lord Long En!"

Jia Yucun bowed hurriedly, and at the same time knew in his heart that he would no longer have the right to have both sides, so he could only follow the emperor and Jiao Shun all the way to Hei, otherwise the emperor would definitely turn over the old score.

at the same time.

Emperor Longyuan was condescending, looking at Jia Yucun who looked as if he had just been fished out of the water, he couldn't help showing his complacency, thinking that Jiao Changqing was indeed his lucky general, and he took down this cunning old official without bloodshed .

It's just that his conduct was a bit poor, and he actually gave Mrs. Mei to...

However, he was able to play out his evil deeds honestly and honestly, which is considered to be a good thing.

What's more, how can a young and vigorous young man resist such a stimulating temptation?
Not to mention him, even himself...

cough~
Since he took the opportunity to hold Jia Yucun's handle, it would be considered that the merits and demerits were equalized.

What's more, by the way, he also helped me think of a solution to the problem, and I covered up a few words for him, which is also the meaning of the question.

Thinking of this, the emperor said again: "I heard that you have some friendship with Uncle Zhongshun in private?"

"This...the minister, the minister is, the minister is just..."

This damn Jiao Shun!

Although I cheated him that day, I also helped smooth things over, why did he even bring this matter into the palace? !

What about the most basic trust between people? !
Seeing that he was hesitating and unable to answer, the emperor said to himself: "Since you have an old relationship with Uncle Zhongshun, I will leave it to you to deal with the recent disputes between Nan'an Palace and Zhongshun Palace—remember to be sure To satisfy the Supreme Emperor!"

Saying that, without waiting for Jia Yucun's response, he waved his hands and said, "Just step back."

Although Jia Yucun knew that this matter was difficult, how could there be any room for bargaining now?
He could only give a deep bow and retreat.

After he left, the emperor unconsciously picked up Jiao Shun's "Apology Booklet". Jiao's writing style is not very good, but when he described what happened with Mrs. Mei last night, he wrote it quite vividly. The emperor couldn't help his blood boil.

but……

This Jiao Shun is not completely honest, only the description of nearly an hour is extremely exaggerated, all of them are born of human flesh, how could it be possible?
