Master Lin of the Red Chamber
Chapter 44
No matter how much Jia Fu cursed and struggled, nothing could change it. The fact that he was escorted to Lin Ruhai, he fell to his knees on the ground after being kicked, and Jia Fu got up in a bit of embarrassment.
Looking at Lin Ruhai who was sitting at the top with a cold expression, Jia Fu's words that had come to his lips suddenly got stuck in his throat under years of accumulating prestige. trembling.
"Jia Fu, I just want to ask you, is it the Jia family's idea to murder the young master, and was the steward bribed by you?"
Leaning on the back of the chair, Lin Ruhai was not as angry as when he was outside, but asked calmly, his eyes fixed on Jia Fu's body, for fear of missing the slightest change.
In fact, Lin Ruhai's current mood is very contradictory. He hopes that this matter is really done by the Jia family, so that he can logically draw a clear line with the Jia family, so that he will not be brought by the Jia family one day. Go to the ditch.
But on the other hand, he didn't want the Jia family to do this, because if it was true, he couldn't imagine what his daughter's life in the Jia family was like these years, and it would fill him with guilt.
"Master, the villain really doesn't know about murdering the young master. The villain just listened to Jia Liang and wanted to provoke the relationship between you and the young master. The villain really doesn't know about other things!"
Jia Fu was about to cry, he was really wronged, in the Lin Mansion, only Jia Liang was the confidant sent by the old matriarch, he was just a pawn, how could he put all the shit on his head.
If he had the ability to be the person in charge of these things, he wouldn't have been forced to take the lead this morning, embarrassing the new young master, and he wouldn't have been caught here even if he didn't know that things were going wrong. .
"Jia Liang? So, this matter is really done by the Jia family..."
Noticing Jia Fu's dodging eyes, Lin Ruhai's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. Although the person didn't say it clearly, how could he not hear it? The meaning behind the words is no different from the default up.
It's just that Jia Fu didn't dare to speak out because he was concerned about the Jia family. Thinking of Jia Liang who had disappeared since the incident, Lin Ruhai's doubts that he still had in his heart dissipated immediately.
Although his mother-in-law, who dared to do this kind of thing under his nose when he was still alive, was really old and confused, but there are many people who are confused in front of interests.
With such a large property of the Lin family, and Lin Ruhai's connections, no one would be tempted. With such a trump card as Yu'er in his hand, it is no wonder that the Jia family would rather tear their face apart and get rid of the heir of the Lin family.
"Master, the villain is really innocent. Jia Liang is responsible for these things. Even if you give the villain 1 courage, the villain would not dare to murder the young master!"
Hearing Lin Ruhai whispering to himself, Jia Fu immediately knelt and climbed a few steps forward, kowtowed a few times desperately, even ignoring the bleeding forehead, desperately trying to clear himself of the suspicion.
He was really wronged. He didn't know the Jia family's plan at all. If he was charged with murdering the master's family out of nowhere, not only would he not be able to escape, but even his family members who were far away in Jia's mansion would not be able to escape. I'm afraid I can't escape.
For so many years in Jia's mansion, Jia Fu is very clear about the temperament of these aristocratic families. He will definitely pour all the dirty water on him alone. In order to ease the relationship with Lin Ruhai, he will be the first to deal with it. his family.
Therefore, no matter what, Jia Fu could not allow himself to be charged with this crime, even if it was for this reason, he would not hesitate to completely abandon the Jia family. Anyway, he has been in the Lin family for so many years, and he has no affection for the Jia family.
"Come here, send Jia Fu to the government, and say that the official sued the Jia family and murdered my heir to the Lin family!"
His face kept changing, thinking of his son who was so frightened and almost lost his life just after being picked up by him, and thinking of the complicated and changeable situation in the capital, Lin Ruhai finally made up his mind.
The Jia family has now become the vanguard of the sixth prince. As a loyal official of the imperial party, Lin Ruhai must not allow himself to be involved in the struggle between the sixth prince and other princes.
A break with the Jia family is undoubtedly imperative, not to mention, now that something like this has happened, even if the situation is not considered, the Jia family can no longer be given a chance just for the sake of his son.
Although the ancients said that family ugliness should not be publicized, but sometimes, such things as face should be put aside, so as not to make a big deal out of him, so how could it be possible to just break it off with the way the Jia family has behaved over the years.
Not to mention anything else, only Yu'er is an excuse that cannot be thrown away. It has been seven years since his daughter entered Jia's mansion at the age of six. The Jia family broke up completely, and the daughter might still miss her grandmother.
"Jia Fu, if you want to save your life and the lives of your family, you should know what to say when you get to the government!"
Seeing those guards step forward and lift Jia Fu up, Lin Ruhai took two steps forward, and seeing the panic on the other side's face, he couldn't help but pat Jia Fu on the shoulder comfortingly, with a very meaningful tone. .
Since he wants to make things big, he can't let it go any longer. This Jia Fu's words are still as cryptic as before, so he must speak out boldly, so that the public opinion of the outside world will completely stand by his Lin Fu. .
Don't underestimate those ordinary people. As the saying goes, there is a lot of power, and that is not unreasonable. As long as you win the first prize, put him in the position of the victim, and get the sympathy of the outside world, then the Jia family will lose first. played a game.
Moreover, Lin Ruhai has another biggest advantage, that is, in this matter, he is completely reasonable. Furthermore, the heir is the lifeblood of a government, and there are unspoken rules in the battles between courtiers.
They will not attack each other's heirs. This does not mean that they will suppress and attack them officially, but that they will not use methods such as assassination in private. It is actually very taboo for the Jia family to do such a thing.
"The villain knows, the villain knows, master, don't worry, the villain will be honest!"
Looking at Lin Ruhai's faintly threatening eyes, Jia Fu's complexion changed, he nodded and bowed quickly, and said flatteringly, in fact, he had already struggled with Huang Lian in his heart.
Looking at Lin Ruhai's appearance outside just now, he knew that this uncle would definitely not let go of the Jia family's peace. At that time, he, a small fish, would be sucked into the vortex of two behemoths. That's weird.
But now, he doesn't care about that much anymore, if he doesn't agree to Lin Ruhai, then he thinks he will have no future, and he can live one more day, not to mention, maybe there is still some hope.
"Send people around to search for Jia Liang, and he must be brought to justice. Also, the poisonous snake that escaped in the mansion must be found as soon as possible!"
Glancing at the back of Jia Fu being taken away, Lin Ruhai knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice, a look of worry flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know why, he always felt that there was something strange about this matter, but what was wrong, he I can't tell.
Shaking his head and letting go of the doubts in his heart, Lin Ruhai handed over the rest of the people to the master sent by the yamen for interrogation, while he returned to the study, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write a memorial to the emperor. Sue the Jia family and murder the heir of the Lin family.
Although the Jia family was said to be veteran officials, they held some weight in the emperor's heart, but with the death of these elderly people like Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua, the Jia family was desperately involved in the prince's struggle.
Lin Ruhai could feel that the emperor's impression of the Jia family was getting worse and worse, and if his memorial could be written more tragically, it would undoubtedly push the Jia family into the abyss.
Of course, this is just a preliminary preparation. As for whether he really wants to submit this memorial, Lin Ruhai still needs to think about it carefully, and also needs to see the verdict of the Governor of Shuntian.
That's right, although Lin Ruhai reported the case to the government office of Yangzhou City, it involved officials from two parties. Yangzhou City was just a transit point and had no right to solve it. In the end, it was either reported to Shuntian Mansion or the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
"How is the young master? Are you awake?"
It took a whole night to polish the memorial, Lin Ruhai looked up at the already bright sky, couldn't help rubbing his forehead, leaned on the chair, and asked very tiredly.
When I was young, it was not a big deal to deal with official duties for a few days, but now, when I am older, it is no longer possible. It’s just that after a day, I feel like my bones are falling apart. , very tired all over.
It's just that it's not time to rest now, there are still many things waiting for him to do, his son has experienced such a big thing, he doesn't want to go and see, he is really worried, the government office is also waiting He went to testify.
There is also going to Beijing soon, how to confront the Jia family, the attitude of the emperor, the thoughts of the princes, and how to get the daughter out, all these issues have to be thought out in advance, and there is no slack at all.
"The young master has already woken up. Miss Lin Yu hurried over when she heard the news early in the morning. Master...do you want to go over and have a look?"
Cui He is a maid who has served Lin Ruhai for many years, and she knows exactly what Lin Ruhai cares about, so she sent someone to inquire about the news a long time ago, and now when Lin Ruhai asked, she naturally answered.
Nodding, Lin Ruhai took the towel handed over by Cui He, washed up a bit, and changed into clean clothes. Seeing that she didn't look so haggard, she got up and walked outside.
In fact, when he just learned about this yesterday, he wanted to go and see his son immediately, but the housekeeper said that his son had already fallen asleep, so he hesitated for a while and didn't bother.
Although he knew in his heart that after going through such a life-and-death crisis, it was impossible for his son to really fall asleep. Most of the reason why he said that was because he didn't want to face himself, but out of guilt, Lin Ruhai still automatically ignored this point.
After all, if it wasn't for his insistence on adopting, his son might still be able to stay in that small courtyard. It is impossible for him to experience such danger. It is normal for him to not know how to face himself for a while.
