The Traitor Jia Lian of the Red Chamber
Chapter 44 Huzhen Conspiring
Jia Zhen happily followed Hu Tu. Although he had presided over the affairs of a government and even a family for many years, he was basically looking for the old regulations.This is the first time he has appeared in monoclonal resistance, a major event that is almost related to the survival of their dandy faction.
Even though he hadn't resisted before, he still bought a lot of time anyway.
Besides, in the past half a month, he has also seen the ability of Master Fenghuang.
"No wonder the magistrate of Yangzhou wants to go to your house in the middle of the night to arrest people." Jia Zhen looked at the people, including many ladies, who surrounded him when she heard the wind, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's the first time I go out, almost I was treated as a villain, and it was your little servant girl who came forward to explain, this fighting power, even my own guards are ashamed. Our Jia family's children can be considered good-looking in the capital, and my Uncle She even won a daughter-in-law by virtue of his face Well, I also got a daughter-in-law from a scholarly family by relying on my face and the poems and essays I have stayed up late for a few days, but when we go out, we are not as popular as you."
At the end of the talk, Jia Zhen felt a little jealous, glanced confused, straightened her noble robe, raised her chin, and snorted coldly: "You are a mere son of a merchant, what can you do?"
Saying goodbye to the neighbors and sitting in the carriage, Hutu who sat in the carriage listened to the muttering in his ears, his complexion darkened, and he coldly glanced at Jia Zhen who was chattering, and only looked away when he looked at the person so quietly, He took a sip of tea himself.
He probably still has six sense organs that are not pure, and he is a little unhappy.
However, compared to Jia Zhu's self-proclaimed contempt, Jia Zhen said it carelessly, so he didn't have much anger in his heart. Instead, he wanted to laugh, and even hated iron and steel He was born well enough, heir of the only seedling and only son, and the patriarch of a clan, but he beat him with a good hand, and became an unsupportable idiot.
After taking a sip of tea, tasting the rich and fragrant orchid fragrance between his teeth, Hu Tu let out a long sigh and recited Amitabha together.
This tea is a tribute tea Dahongpao that is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy, and he was lucky enough to taste it once or twice at his master.As for the decorations and ornaments that can be seen, they are extremely luxurious, as well as the level restrictions stipulated by the law.This is something money can't buy.
The word power is really good.
Amitabha, young monks are neither arrogant nor impetuous, and cannot violate the precepts.
Jia Zhen looked at Hu Tu's gaze, and lowered her eyes to look at her clothes, "Is there anything wrong with this? Isn't it bad? I've been wearing royal clothes for the past few days. This way I can hold the scene at least." He wore a royal robe and walked on the ground in Yangzhou. He must wear a guard of honor when he travels, and he can show off as rich as he can within the prescribed range.No matter how anxious the Wang family was, they couldn't find someone to beat him up.
"No, it's pretty good. But your carriage seems to belong to the Marquis, isn't it against the rules?" Tutu asked.Although he has read a lot of law, but for him before, he worked hard to practice literature and martial arts, and then chased his wife, took care of the family business, developed towards the General Merchant, and worked hard to become the president of the Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce. Those who stomp their feet to affect the price of salt will be consummated for a lifetime.Right now, as the son of a small businessman, he really hasn't really paid attention to the "hidden rules." His most important goal now is to help his father talk to Xunyan Yushi.
"No violation. This is my uncle's frame. I am his nephew and his family. It's okay to sit and sit." Jia Zhen didn't care much, and looked at the muddleheaded face: "Although there are regulations, you can only judge It is used by the master or officials, but even if it is really pursued, it is useless. I am afraid you have not ridden it yet, have you? Give you a ride, if you do things well, it will be fine for you to play around. I will pardon the car. , although the big red and purple are a bit fancy, but my brother-in-law can worry about it, because he is afraid that my uncle will be dishonest when riding in the car, bumping into each other. This carriage, even the axle runners have been remade by myself. I hired The boat is directly transported by water..."
Stupid listened to Jia Zhen bragging all the way about my brother-in-law, and was even "rewarded" with a few pieces of imperial plums from the imperial dining room, sweets from a certain pavilion in the capital, rare treasures from a certain building, etc. Waiting, finally seeing Jia Zhen pull out an answer sheet that was rolled into a ball, and seeing the terribly wrong arithmetic on it, she couldn't help laughing.
No matter how rich and powerful the ancestors are, it is really better to have a good brain first.
Even though he set up all kinds of mentality to make himself more optimistic, when he saw his parents in the cell, his heart still ached, and he knelt down: "Father, mother, it's because children are unfilial, and you have suffered."
"It's not bitter, Master Zhen has given orders, and we haven't suffered any grievances." Father Hu is really grateful to Jia Zhen, even if he has to sigh "You little merchants" in a few words, but he is still busy for them of.Even though she was from the same family as the one who caused their family's misfortune, Jia Zhen really tried her best.It can be seen that Jia Zhen is just a dandy, unable to confront Jia Zhu's uncle.
"It's Tutu, you've suffered so much, you've been running back and forth." Father Hu pulled Hutu up.
Mother Hu also helped Hutu up with one hand, and said: "Silly boy, what does our family say is suffering or not? This is unfounded or unfounded, we have justice wherever we go, not to mention that Master Zhen and his family know this justice , running for us."
After Hu's mother finished speaking, Jia Zhen, who was praised so much that her eyes were almost squinted, suddenly felt a little helpless.The descendants of the founder of the country, the sons of the rich and noble kings, they thought how powerful they were, but when they got in touch with each other, they realized that they were just individuals, and there was nothing to be afraid of.With Jia Zhen's temperament, if she does business with their family, she might be set up by them.
Hu's father patted Hu's mother's hand and smiled. They worked hard to make money for Tutu, they just hoped that their children would be so carefree.It's a pity that they are so busy that they only managed one piece of the family business, and they could be overthrown by the powerful at any time. They are not as powerful as the ancestors of the Jia family.
"Father and mother, I understand." Hu Tu held his parents' hands, met their eagerly expecting eyes, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is to be safe and happy!" His parents are good at everything, but they are too trusting of fate.The old monk in the temple said that his fate is too expensive, that he has luck but no fate, and he can only choose one of them.He changed his name according to the instructions, and he had a tattoo of a phoenix reborn from the ashes on his belly, and made his own courtyard look effeminate, and he was cruelly planed into a bald head.
Although he is handsome and cool in summer, and he is still a phoenix without hairstyle, but...but he still loves beauty in his heart. With hair, he can change his hairstyle and match it with several different styles of clothes in a day.
After narrating the family life for a while, seeing Jia Zhen showing a little impatience, she sighed confusedly, and talked about important matters: "I will definitely investigate the matter of being framed, parents, don't worry, we already have some clues."
"Okay, but remember that everything is about your safety, don't rely on your own cleverness, just..." He was used as a weapon.
Father Hu didn't say the last sentence, but only looked at Jia Zhen meaningfully.Although he felt that Jia Zhen was not smart, but this matter involved the dispute between the second wife of the Rong Mansion, he still heard the rumors.Seeing the appearance of the head of the Jia clan, many businessmen who had been friends with him in the past began to send him news.Of course, there was also Mr. Fu from the academy who rushed over overnight when he heard that something happened to their family.
The power struggle in this world is probably the same regardless of the officialdom and the market.
Hu Tu nodded with a complicated expression, and said again "I understand." But he didn't elaborate on why he was jealous and why he was favored by King Qin.
It's not that he is narcissistic. Once King Qin's temperament recognizes him as an apprentice, he can't hide from it even if he pretends not to know him.
Besides, there is the Jia family.
Jia Amnesty didn't mention it at the moment, she was dumbfounded, but Jia Lian was difficult and possessive.This Jia Amnesty is also considered to be the one who he single-handedly protects and reforms. Even if he is really just lucky to be similar to Jia Amnesty, this Jia Lian will also investigate clearly the details of the three generations of their Hu family.
Previously Jia Lian's explanation of Hulian's weapon was so meaningful that he almost suspected that he was Jia She's eldest son Jia Hu.
Fortunately, he and Jia Hu are not in the same age, and he also secretly asked the seniors of Lotus Academy that Jia Hu died in the most tragic lantern festival during the transformation of witchcraft.In that crazily massacre by remnants of the former dynasty, many young talents and ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital died. All the corpses were collected by the royal family after being checked one by one, and buried collectively in the imperial mausoleum.Because many of the deceased were young children, and some women were not out of the court, according to the customs and rules, they could not enter the ancestral grave if they died prematurely.
Therefore, in order to protect his parents, Yu'er, and those who love him, he must fight for it in this world of mortals.If Jia Lian's faction does not ascend to a high position, then he may have no peace for a day.
Who told him that he was just the son of a mere merchant!
It's his fault that he looks as stinky as ever!
After Hutu left the prison, he went home and planned to visit the plaintiff's family after listening to all the accountant's words and the account books.
Upon hearing this, all the stewards fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Don't know why.According to the information he received earlier, the relevant case was reported in this way. After the plaintiff Zhao Xiaoer’s mother bought the salt sold by Hu’s family, she went home to cook and caused Zhao Xiaoer’s wife, Zhao Li, who was cooking at the time. Zhao Wangshi, the mother of Shi and Zhao Xiaoer, had unbearable abdominal pain. After being sent to the doctor, the doctor diagnosed that the salt was shoddy, and the ash mixed with the salt contained rat poison, so she died.After reporting the case, it was found that the batches being sold by the shops under the Hu family were all miscellaneous salt, and all of them were tested to contain rat poison.However, Qian Qiandao, the original shopkeeper of the Hu family, was resentful because the head of the Hu family lost his trust and was about to sell the property, so he felt revenge.But luckily, he found out with his conscience that he didn't act according to the Patriarch's order.There are present witnesses, material evidence and oral testimony.
As the shopkeeper who has been with the Hu family for many years, Wu Gui said: "Young master, this plaintiff is now locked up by... Uncle Zhen."
"Closed?" Hu Tu frowned, he had received a letter from Jia's family before, saying that Jia Zhen was very urgent.When did it become so strong again?
Hutu got up and went to ask Jia Zhen one or two in person.
Jia Zhen put her arms around two Yangzhou skinny horses. Hearing this, she was triumphant: "I sent the plaintiff's family to the prison for smashing the official porcelain blue and white teacup. This is why I bought it specially to pay tribute to the emperor."
Hu Tu: "..."
Jia Zhen plausibly said: "So as not to be bribed to string together words! Brother Lian said, I can't pry their mouths open, so I put them in prison and no one is allowed to visit. These little people can't see the connector, so they will think I am The more powerful they are, the more they will be afraid."
Hutu frowned: "Cell? I didn't seem to see it before?"
"A big prison in the military camp. The magistrates don't listen to me." Jia Zhen had another "little bitch" look, doubting: "Is it useful for Brother Lian to ask you to come?"
While talking, Jia Zhen said in a slightly ostentatious tone: "My uncle supervised the construction of sea boats and repaired sea ponds in Yangzhou, Gusu, and he left a little bit of incense. I went out of Beijing this time and brought all the They were the guards of the Jia family in the past, but none of them were eloquent. There are a few quarrelsome people in Lianhua Academy here, but they are also gentlemen, and some are too pedantic and old-fashioned. They have to act according to the laws and regulations. Funny, If you want to act according to the rules, your Hu family has already been confiscated. But I have no other choice, so I put the plaintiff's family in the navy prison."
Although Jiang Hai, the young garrison now, is a bit concerned about power, but Wang Ziteng doesn't like it even more. In comparison, they are naturally much cuter.
After the corners of Hu Tu's mouth twitched, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Your ancestors really worked hard to protect you to such an extent." Throw it away from the military camp prison. Look at the son of the salt merchant, he is also so capable.
Jia Zhente smiled proudly: "Of course!"
Hu Tu: "..."
Because in the cell, Hu Tu was afraid that Jia Zhen's favor would be more difficult to repay if he went to it repeatedly, and he was also afraid that he owed favor debts, so he first investigated the plaintiff and Qian Qian, the shopkeeper who betrayed their Hu family.
Even if the son of the rich and powerful is playing the game of "little power willfulness", he, an ant, should try his best to follow the law, check for loopholes, and clean up the grievances of the Hu family in an open and honest manner.
When she heard that she was going to conduct a field visit and investigation, Jia Zhen was not interested, so she waved her hand and started drinking and having fun with the Yangzhou skinny horse.
Seeing this, Hu Tu didn't know why he always felt his palms were a little itchy, and wanted to beat him up so that he could make better progress, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the corner of the royal robe Jia Zhen was wearing, but he didn't give up.
After all, their ancestors are different, and their circumstances are different.As long as Jia Zhen doesn't die in this life and lives by herself behind closed doors, then according to her original goal, she may have struggled for the rest of her life, and when she enters Beijing, she will have to bow down and give him a big red envelope.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Hutu picked up Fu Yu who had already returned home, and the two of them took the work that they had come from afar, and went to the scene to search for it.
Although Du Yuzuo was young, he was also quite experienced. He also brought his fellow apprentice Lu Ping to come together, and he did not hide his secrets, and began to investigate and record bit by bit in front of them.
As a layman, Hu Tu was confused, but he saw that the two officials and eunuchs in the capital were so dedicated, and he also received the favor of Jia Lian and the two, even if he took one with him in a teaching style, he didn't care much. Seeing that Fu Yu listened with gusto, he wished he could grab Lu Ping's paper and pen and follow along.He let out a helpless laugh, greeted everyone, and went to investigate the neighbors on his own.
He is good at greeting fellow villagers.
Hu Tu changed into cassock on purpose and came knocking on the wooden fish all the way, carrying the immortal demeanor of a monk, looking at the villagers in awe.
"Not good, not good, there is a big disaster in this village!"
======
Just when Hutu was pretending to be tricked by intelligence, Xue Qingyun, the patriarch of the Xue family and Wang Ziteng's brother-in-law, received the news of Hutu and Fu Yu's return to Yangzhou from his servants, with a look of indifference in his eyes.Because Wang Zisheng, the eldest son of the Wang family in Jinling, was useless, and Wang Zisheng fell ill, so he was responsible for suppressing the Hu family.He can guarantee that the case of the Hu family's adulteration of salt is guaranteed to be flawless, and there will be no clues to investigate.
He is not afraid of these two boys who have no fame, but he is tired of Jia Zhen who is always showing off his might by relying on his good ancestor.
All the officials in the Jiangnan area are also good people. When they saw Jia Zhen coming to Yangzhou in person, some of them retreated.
Helping Jia Zhu, whose father is only a fifth-rank official, who is only a scholar himself, to deal with Jia Lian, a rising man, who is the heir of Lord Rong of the Kingdom of Rong, is a fool.Even if Jia Zhu has a good uncle and Wang Ziteng is the governor of the capital, so what?
Not to mention justice and justice, this money is not as refreshing and magnanimous as Jia Zhen's management. As for this power, the whole Jiangnan where Jia Zhen is blatantly knows about Wang Ziteng's family history, and even implicates Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt and censor Lin Ruhai body.
Jia Zhen said that Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of the Jia family, even if he is talented, but without the contribution of the Jia family, let alone other things, let's go and see how Lin Ruhai's other Jinshi officers are doing: the number one scholar, so far, is only a fourth-rank magistrate, and the second place is even worse , was demoted and became a small dormitory supervisor; Chuanlu did not end well, and became a steward in the academy.
Jia Zhen has a thick skin, and I don't know who made a mistake, and everyone in the fireworks and willow lanes sang about it.Anyone who has something to do with the Jia family has to speak up for them, otherwise they will become ungrateful white-eyed wolves.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai made a written statement in public, Daoming himself did not use his power for personal gain, he never revoked the Hu family's salt invitation, and he never condoned his wife and nephew to suppress the Hu family, and even blew himself up. I am worried about my only son, and worried about the succession of the old Lin family's incense.The inside and outside of the words are short of saying that they have no intention of official business.
But Jia Zhen's turmoil didn't end well, and she even flaunted her relationship with the inner palace, threatening to remove the official position of the Xue family's royal merchant.
Therefore, Xue Qingyun's focus in the past few days has been thinking about how to deal with Jia Zhen.This kind of skinless, shameless, dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, he can't wait to kill it with black hands!But she couldn't even kill her. Jia Zhen traveled a lot, and even in Hu's house, there were guards on both sides. Even the thin Yangzhou horse in her arms was carefully selected.
"My lord, it's not good. The magistrate of Yangzhou has received news that Jia Zhen has asked for a hearing on the case of the Hu family." The housekeeper who received the news rushed to report.
"Trial is trial, forgive them for not making any troubles!" Xue Qingyun said with confidence.For the family he had chosen, Zhao Wang could regard his Xue family as a great benefactor, and was grateful.Moreover, only Zhao Wang knew about this matter, but she herself drank the medicine and died cleanly.Even if Bao Qingtian was still alive, he probably wouldn't be able to find out any clues.
As for Qian Qian, he himself took advantage of being the treasurer of the Hu family to resell private salt, mixed with government and private, and no matter which one was exposed, it would be a dead end. Get a way out for yourself.
Although Xue Qingyun was certain, but because this matter was assigned by his elder brother-in-law, even if he did it perfectly, out of prudent considerations, he still went to the Yangzhou magistrate to emphasize it again and again.
The magistrate of Yangzhou didn't dare to make any further assertions, he just said: "Besides Xue Yuan, the lower officials have humble positions, but they dare not say anything else. The students from the Lotus Academy all came to watch the trial. If there is any injustice, Fu Que will make a complaint. , it's not something my little fourth-rank magistrate can bear!"
What's more, Wang Ziteng's position is now in jeopardy.This mansion report came, and it was recorded in detail. Because of the ineffective recovery of the arrears, he was repeatedly reprimanded by the present.Why should he take the risk again to take responsibility for the Wang family.
"My lord." Xue Qingyun cursed secretly, but with a smile on his face, he took out a letter, "I hope your lord can deal with it a little bit more. Not to mention anything else, if there is any unexpected situation, how about another trial?"
The magistrate of Yangzhou politely refused to send it back, with a calm expression and extremely righteous words: "Mr. Xue, this case is no longer a trivial matter. I will handle it impartially."
The pressure from the Jia family, the pressure from the students, and the gossip from the common people made him unable to wait for Wang Ziteng's promise to be transferred to the capital.
"Come on, let's open the hall!" The magistrate of Yangzhou flicked his sleeves, swayed his official authority, and walked with eight-character steps, following the "mighty" voice of the yamen servant, and went to the front yamen hall.
Xue Qingyun who stayed in the lobby suddenly changed his face back and forth, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitched a few times. He always felt that this matter was going to happen, so he hurriedly sent someone to write to Wang Ziteng to think about countermeasures.If the matter of suppressing the Hu family comes to light, I'm afraid it will be Brother Zhu who will be ruined.Although this person was secretly sent by him, it was in the name of the Jia family.
Facts have proved that Xue Qingyun's premonition is very good.
In the courtroom, before the magistrate knocked on the gavel and said a word of silence, Qian Qian, who was one of the witnesses, had already confessed his criminal evidence clearly.He didn't want to recall the suffering he had suffered in that endless black cage.And only now did he know that Xue, the King of Jiashi, and Jia Jia, the head of the four major families in Jinling, stood behind their young master and helped him.The head of the family, Lord Jia, just said a word, and the military men who usually have high eyesight arrested them all without saying a word.
Hu Tu sneered, and clearly put the Hu family's account books for many years, the list of goods sold and received, Qian Qian's apprentice Xiaoer, and Qian Qian's family's daily expenses in court.
"My lord, this money is due to my Hu family's ignorance. This matter should be punished, and my Hu family should plead guilty." After Hutu finished speaking, he looked at the people who were watching with guilt: "My Hu family is willing to dispose of all the family property and do it for Yangzhou. The suffering people provided the gold and silver purchased with salt for one year for free. After that, my Hu family will no longer step into the salt merchant business."
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd was in an uproar, but they felt that the Hu family ruined themselves because of a scum, which was a bit too serious.
But Hu Tu's words made them helpless and felt reasonable.I saw the muddle-headed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with his palms together, his face resembling that of incomparable compassion, singing a Buddhist gatha, and said: "My Buddha is merciful. The poor monk can only be taught by the master, but unexpectedly he can't even save the people around him. It's really a sin." Karma is hard to get rid of."
The onlookers all sighed, and many emotional women even sobbed softly, thinking that it was not easy for Mr. Fenghuang!
"This Hu Yuanwai's family is kind-hearted. They build bridges and pave roads every year to benefit the village, and even send clothes and gifts. It's like giving their heirs a good fate. How could they suffer such crimes!"
"Although this Mr. Phoenix is called jokingly, don't say that Mr. Hu is handsome. He is worthy of this title. He himself is always doing good things."
"That's right, that year when I went to pray to Buddha, I turned my foot on the mountain road, and this young man carried me to the sky. It's so hot in summer."
"........."
The magistrate above the high court heard the increasingly uncontrollable whispers, patted the gavel with a cold face, and said: "Silence! Witness Qian Qian, you can confirm that what you said in the court is correct, then sign it! If you dare to reverse your confession at will, or tamper with and slander, according to the law, this official will sentence you to death!"
"This..." Qian Qianyi couldn't help but turn pale when he heard that he was dead. He looked around, not knowing what to do.
"My lord, I'm sorry, what you said is wrong," Hutu explained forcefully and with a straight voice, "Our dynasty has strict jurisdiction over the death penalty. According to the law of our dynasty, only the Ministry of Punishment has the right to sever the death penalty. And it still needs to be reviewed by Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After the severance, it is necessary to appeal to the emperor, so it is a three-review system. Remember, this is an important test point, and the death penalty is divided into Li Jue and Qiu Hou Ju..."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
Everyone outside the courtroom: "..."
The students of Lotus Academy nodded in unison: "That's right, it's an important test site!" Their stupid seniors are good at everything, but they can't take the imperial examination because of their background.
When he heard that he could get a chance to reduce his sentence after confessing, Qian Qianli's eyes sparkled brightly, and said: "Yes... it was the servants of the Jia family who made me slander the Hu family. It is our young master who offended him. If you don't listen I am afraid that all of us will not be pleased with his orders!"
"Are you sure?" Jia Zhen, who was sitting under the courtroom, suddenly stood up when she heard the words, and said: "The general called all the servants over, you may recognize one or two?! My Jia family has this evil, I naturally He will never be spared lightly! My Patriarch dares to swear in front of the national law and patriarchal law that he will definitely not cover up any member of the Jia clan! Just say it!"
"This... almost everyone in Yangzhou knows that the eldest son of your family is jealous of my young master's talent!" When Qian Qian saw Jia Zhen, he was so scared that his ass pissed. The power to lock them up.
In an instant, there was a smell of urine wafting in the courtroom!
Upon hearing Qian Qian's words, Jia Zhen controlled the upturned corners of her mouth, and yelled angrily: "Presumptuous, I have only one son and direct line in Ningfu, and I have only one son under my knees, so I can be called the eldest son, but other You are only five years old, and you don't even know how to make soy sauce! You don't know where to go when you go out, so how can you be so jealous of your young master!"
Hearing Jia Zhen's words, the onlookers all burst into laughter, but Xue Wang's family and the people sent by Mrs. Wang in the crowd all looked irritable, left in a hurry, and went back to report to the supervisor.Seeing this situation, I'm afraid it's going to be bad!
Jia Zhen's family ugliness was exposed to the outside world. I'm afraid she wants to implement the matter of expulsion from the family first!
Sharp-eyed found that someone had left, Jia Zhen seemed to be getting more and more angry, and the speed of her speech was also getting faster and faster: "The previous generation of Rongfu had two households and they had already separated. His son, named Jia Lian, had his right arm cut and was studying hard at Qingbei Academy while he was training his arm. How could he bully others in Yangzhou City?!"
"The person you are talking about is probably the eldest son of the second house, Jia Zhu. His father has long since passed away. The owner of the Rong Mansion took pity on his young father, but let him still live in the Marquis Mansion, so that he could hire a famous teacher to teach him. Unexpectedly, he would breed his power to bully others." Heart, destroying the prestige accumulated by my Jia family's father and ancestors is not worthy of descendants!" Jia's patriarch couldn't beat the clan elders in the ancestral hall, but now he is relying on his robes, which is cool!
"Such evils, not to mention narrow-mindedness, dare to kill people, not only destroy the Hu family's foundation for many years, but also dare to poison the lives of many people at will. It is really hateful and hateful. I will expel him from my Jia clan!"
"Okay! This is righteous killing of relatives, but it also changed the Phoenix son and the Hu family for justice. It is also the manifestation of the Bodhisattva." Xing'er, who was in the crowd, squeezed his throat and gave Jia Zhen a very face-saving answer.He watched the whole case.On the bright side, everything will be fine if Qianqian is cut off. First, Jia Zhu will be expelled from the Jia family. Otherwise, according to reports, Jia Zhu would have been so angry that he would die if he didn't pay attention. Yes, but it hurt their second master Lian.
"Unfortunately, I thought it was true that officials and officials protect each other in the script."
"This...that's right! The punishment is constantly being severe! After all, if Rang is successful, he may kill more people."
"That's right!"
"The patriarchal clan is broken, what about the national law!"
"My lord, hurry up and ask someone to question that Jia Zhu!"
"It is said that this person has the reputation of a scholar. He really knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart!"
"........."
Looking at the excitement of the people, and looking at the fearless face saying that the judgment is in accordance with the law, Jia Zhen even reminded with a very righteous face: "I said this nonsense earlier, although I have the eight-discussion system in my dynasty, I can't be exempted from honors." The descendants will die. But it is our direct branch and direct line that are concealed by these eight proposals!"
The magistrate of Yangzhou was talking about him for a long time. He was the direct elder brother of Jia Guiren in the harem. After all, he didn't have the nerve to say it out, so he could only send a signature, ordering the yamen servant to arrest Jia Zhu for interrogation.
Since Jia Zhu was in Jinling, Yangzhou was two hours away from Jinling along the Shunshui Road, so it took half a day to go back and forth.
After the Yangzhou magistrate explained to the common people, seeing the expressions of the people, he said that the retrial will be retried tomorrow.
Although it was delayed for half a day as they expected, Jia Zhen did not dare to relax at all, and let Xing'er carry it to the capital to send the document he knocked out to expel Jia Zhu from the clan. It is clearly marked that today's date is the 16th day of the [-]th day of the [-]th day of the [-]th day of the month. He was so scared that Jia Zhu died when he was out of breath.Even though the magistrate hadn't pronounced the sentence yet, but he committed the crime of poisoning and jealousy and expelled him to the point. It's important not to block his younger brother's progress.
Even if he knew what was going on behind the scenes, Jia Zhu was actually not that capable. It was all supervised by his good uncle and good uncle, but so what, this jealousy was actually real.
After finishing this matter, Jia Zhen hurriedly dragged Hutu again, regardless of who met relatives and friends, thanked everyone, and took them back to Jinling in a mighty manner, urging the boatman to hurry, and said: "I have thought about it for a long time, I don't know why, but I feel that you have won my favor. You are also lucky. I suddenly remembered that in addition to Wenju, there are also martial arts. This martial arts is not as strict as Wenju's express restrictions. Moreover, after all, Taizu founded the country with martial arts, so he treated us a noble family a little bit. He was afraid that our descendants would be useless, so he opened the door for convenience. Although we have only one generation of patriarchs under our name, it is not easy to use it. The requirements must be from my own family, as long as I have contact with the Jia family, I can recommend it voluntarily. Brother Rong, I don’t want him to suffer. Besides, this old man brought him into a Taoist temple, so it’s cheaper for you. You just need to be a member With me, you can sign up to participate in the martial arts directly as a martial arts scholar. This Jiangnan area doesn't emphasize martial arts very much, so it's no problem for you to be a martial arts leader? When the time comes, I can also say to my ancestor Lele, My Jia family is considered to have successors."
Hearing Jia Zhen's flattering plan, Hu Tu frowned: "What if I say no?"
"Are you so ignorant?" Jia Zhen's eyes sank, and she said angrily, "If it hadn't been for the fact that you have won the trust of Brother Lian, and this idea of expelling Jia Zhu in court would be in line with our shameless and shameless dandies. , this general is not willing to praise you!"
"You have such a self-evaluation?" Hutu said earnestly: "You can't learn a thing or two from Jia Lian, or even from your uncle Jia She. He is already in his thirties, and he can still read quietly. Anyway, it is considered serious. The Eight Classics has achieved fame, how about you? You have achieved nothing in your twenties!" At the end of speaking, Hu Tu felt that he hated iron and steel more and more.
"Presumptuous! Don't be shameless!" Jia Zhen never thought that she would be scolded once she was kind, her face turned green and pale, and finally her face turned green: "You dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart. Things, my father didn't say a word against me, how dare you accuse me! You are just a son of a salt merchant, and I can kill you with one word!"
Hearing the word salt merchant again, Hutu became completely annoyed. He grabbed Jia Zhen and immediately threw her overboard.
"Uncle Zhen!" Everyone in Jia's mansion was stunned by this scene, and while ordering the boatman to stop the boat, those who knew how to swim rushed into the water to save people.What is this called!
I saw that the culprit, Hu Tu, was stuffing his master and beating him in the water with a deadpan expression on his face!
At the moment Jia Zhen was thrown into the water, she felt terribly frightened and terrified, and the fear of death could not help but suffocate him.
Jia Zhen shouted with all her strength, from the original scolding to a cry for help: "You...you don't know what's good...cough cough cough...I don't know how to drink water...quickly, let me go up, I will... I will never despise you again..."
Hutu yelled at the servant of Jia's family who was about to jump down: "I control the strength, don't let me down." He kept Jia Zhen in one hand, and smiled: "Study hard, have a whole body of skills, do you understand? Don’t just rely on your ancestors!”
"Relying on the ancestors, what's wrong with relying on the ancestors, you think I... I am you?!" Jia Zhen couldn't help being angry when she heard this: "Do you know my Jia family, who is my father?"
"who?!"
"He is Prince Loyalty's companion! What difference does it make if I don't make progress?" Jia Zhen said, her eyes turned red unconsciously, her voice became a little softer, aggrieved: "What do you know? Sir, I am the only child of the Ning Mansion. Dumiao, do you understand? I think it was also cultivated by the heir back then!"
"Is the heir trained to look like you?" Hutu let go when he heard this.
"Pfft... my father... my father..." Jia Zhen struggled, clutching Hutu's hand firmly with one hand, and said: "My father was bound into the Taoist temple by Prince Zhongyi in order to avoid the present. This... There’s also partisanship in it.”
"Oh. What about Rong Mansion? You can't write Jia Lai in one stroke." Seeing Jia Zhen's tendency to cry, Hu Tu's expression eased, and he asked.It is impossible to suppress a family and raise a family nowadays, right?
"I don't know. Anyway, it's good for me if Brother Lian's promotion is good, so why should I stop them? It's like Brother Lian would persuade me not to spend money and drink, but to think about the future, but that's the point. Anyway, we know each other , the other party won’t harm us.” Jia Zhen found that she was frightened so bald that she said everything, she stared angrily, and proudly put on a frightened and frightened face: “Anyway, there is One day as the emperor, my Jia family will be rich and have no worries. This kind of backing, you cannot envy."
"Yes, I can't envy you, so I feel that you are very unflattering. I always want to teach you a lesson." Hu Tu held Jia Zhen in a cold voice, borrowed the bamboo poles handed over by Jia's servants on the deck, and flew on her. Boat, patted the dumbfounded Jia Zhen: "Go and drink a cup of ginger tea, soak yourself up, and wait until I get a martial arts leader, and I will give it to your Jia family ancestor Lele."
"You..." Jia Zhen suddenly stood up straight, pointing tremblingly: "You
Even though he hadn't resisted before, he still bought a lot of time anyway.
Besides, in the past half a month, he has also seen the ability of Master Fenghuang.
"No wonder the magistrate of Yangzhou wants to go to your house in the middle of the night to arrest people." Jia Zhen looked at the people, including many ladies, who surrounded him when she heard the wind, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's the first time I go out, almost I was treated as a villain, and it was your little servant girl who came forward to explain, this fighting power, even my own guards are ashamed. Our Jia family's children can be considered good-looking in the capital, and my Uncle She even won a daughter-in-law by virtue of his face Well, I also got a daughter-in-law from a scholarly family by relying on my face and the poems and essays I have stayed up late for a few days, but when we go out, we are not as popular as you."
At the end of the talk, Jia Zhen felt a little jealous, glanced confused, straightened her noble robe, raised her chin, and snorted coldly: "You are a mere son of a merchant, what can you do?"
Saying goodbye to the neighbors and sitting in the carriage, Hutu who sat in the carriage listened to the muttering in his ears, his complexion darkened, and he coldly glanced at Jia Zhen who was chattering, and only looked away when he looked at the person so quietly, He took a sip of tea himself.
He probably still has six sense organs that are not pure, and he is a little unhappy.
However, compared to Jia Zhu's self-proclaimed contempt, Jia Zhen said it carelessly, so he didn't have much anger in his heart. Instead, he wanted to laugh, and even hated iron and steel He was born well enough, heir of the only seedling and only son, and the patriarch of a clan, but he beat him with a good hand, and became an unsupportable idiot.
After taking a sip of tea, tasting the rich and fragrant orchid fragrance between his teeth, Hu Tu let out a long sigh and recited Amitabha together.
This tea is a tribute tea Dahongpao that is difficult for ordinary people to enjoy, and he was lucky enough to taste it once or twice at his master.As for the decorations and ornaments that can be seen, they are extremely luxurious, as well as the level restrictions stipulated by the law.This is something money can't buy.
The word power is really good.
Amitabha, young monks are neither arrogant nor impetuous, and cannot violate the precepts.
Jia Zhen looked at Hu Tu's gaze, and lowered her eyes to look at her clothes, "Is there anything wrong with this? Isn't it bad? I've been wearing royal clothes for the past few days. This way I can hold the scene at least." He wore a royal robe and walked on the ground in Yangzhou. He must wear a guard of honor when he travels, and he can show off as rich as he can within the prescribed range.No matter how anxious the Wang family was, they couldn't find someone to beat him up.
"No, it's pretty good. But your carriage seems to belong to the Marquis, isn't it against the rules?" Tutu asked.Although he has read a lot of law, but for him before, he worked hard to practice literature and martial arts, and then chased his wife, took care of the family business, developed towards the General Merchant, and worked hard to become the president of the Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce. Those who stomp their feet to affect the price of salt will be consummated for a lifetime.Right now, as the son of a small businessman, he really hasn't really paid attention to the "hidden rules." His most important goal now is to help his father talk to Xunyan Yushi.
"No violation. This is my uncle's frame. I am his nephew and his family. It's okay to sit and sit." Jia Zhen didn't care much, and looked at the muddleheaded face: "Although there are regulations, you can only judge It is used by the master or officials, but even if it is really pursued, it is useless. I am afraid you have not ridden it yet, have you? Give you a ride, if you do things well, it will be fine for you to play around. I will pardon the car. , although the big red and purple are a bit fancy, but my brother-in-law can worry about it, because he is afraid that my uncle will be dishonest when riding in the car, bumping into each other. This carriage, even the axle runners have been remade by myself. I hired The boat is directly transported by water..."
Stupid listened to Jia Zhen bragging all the way about my brother-in-law, and was even "rewarded" with a few pieces of imperial plums from the imperial dining room, sweets from a certain pavilion in the capital, rare treasures from a certain building, etc. Waiting, finally seeing Jia Zhen pull out an answer sheet that was rolled into a ball, and seeing the terribly wrong arithmetic on it, she couldn't help laughing.
No matter how rich and powerful the ancestors are, it is really better to have a good brain first.
Even though he set up all kinds of mentality to make himself more optimistic, when he saw his parents in the cell, his heart still ached, and he knelt down: "Father, mother, it's because children are unfilial, and you have suffered."
"It's not bitter, Master Zhen has given orders, and we haven't suffered any grievances." Father Hu is really grateful to Jia Zhen, even if he has to sigh "You little merchants" in a few words, but he is still busy for them of.Even though she was from the same family as the one who caused their family's misfortune, Jia Zhen really tried her best.It can be seen that Jia Zhen is just a dandy, unable to confront Jia Zhu's uncle.
"It's Tutu, you've suffered so much, you've been running back and forth." Father Hu pulled Hutu up.
Mother Hu also helped Hutu up with one hand, and said: "Silly boy, what does our family say is suffering or not? This is unfounded or unfounded, we have justice wherever we go, not to mention that Master Zhen and his family know this justice , running for us."
After Hu's mother finished speaking, Jia Zhen, who was praised so much that her eyes were almost squinted, suddenly felt a little helpless.The descendants of the founder of the country, the sons of the rich and noble kings, they thought how powerful they were, but when they got in touch with each other, they realized that they were just individuals, and there was nothing to be afraid of.With Jia Zhen's temperament, if she does business with their family, she might be set up by them.
Hu's father patted Hu's mother's hand and smiled. They worked hard to make money for Tutu, they just hoped that their children would be so carefree.It's a pity that they are so busy that they only managed one piece of the family business, and they could be overthrown by the powerful at any time. They are not as powerful as the ancestors of the Jia family.
"Father and mother, I understand." Hu Tu held his parents' hands, met their eagerly expecting eyes, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is to be safe and happy!" His parents are good at everything, but they are too trusting of fate.The old monk in the temple said that his fate is too expensive, that he has luck but no fate, and he can only choose one of them.He changed his name according to the instructions, and he had a tattoo of a phoenix reborn from the ashes on his belly, and made his own courtyard look effeminate, and he was cruelly planed into a bald head.
Although he is handsome and cool in summer, and he is still a phoenix without hairstyle, but...but he still loves beauty in his heart. With hair, he can change his hairstyle and match it with several different styles of clothes in a day.
After narrating the family life for a while, seeing Jia Zhen showing a little impatience, she sighed confusedly, and talked about important matters: "I will definitely investigate the matter of being framed, parents, don't worry, we already have some clues."
"Okay, but remember that everything is about your safety, don't rely on your own cleverness, just..." He was used as a weapon.
Father Hu didn't say the last sentence, but only looked at Jia Zhen meaningfully.Although he felt that Jia Zhen was not smart, but this matter involved the dispute between the second wife of the Rong Mansion, he still heard the rumors.Seeing the appearance of the head of the Jia clan, many businessmen who had been friends with him in the past began to send him news.Of course, there was also Mr. Fu from the academy who rushed over overnight when he heard that something happened to their family.
The power struggle in this world is probably the same regardless of the officialdom and the market.
Hu Tu nodded with a complicated expression, and said again "I understand." But he didn't elaborate on why he was jealous and why he was favored by King Qin.
It's not that he is narcissistic. Once King Qin's temperament recognizes him as an apprentice, he can't hide from it even if he pretends not to know him.
Besides, there is the Jia family.
Jia Amnesty didn't mention it at the moment, she was dumbfounded, but Jia Lian was difficult and possessive.This Jia Amnesty is also considered to be the one who he single-handedly protects and reforms. Even if he is really just lucky to be similar to Jia Amnesty, this Jia Lian will also investigate clearly the details of the three generations of their Hu family.
Previously Jia Lian's explanation of Hulian's weapon was so meaningful that he almost suspected that he was Jia She's eldest son Jia Hu.
Fortunately, he and Jia Hu are not in the same age, and he also secretly asked the seniors of Lotus Academy that Jia Hu died in the most tragic lantern festival during the transformation of witchcraft.In that crazily massacre by remnants of the former dynasty, many young talents and ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital died. All the corpses were collected by the royal family after being checked one by one, and buried collectively in the imperial mausoleum.Because many of the deceased were young children, and some women were not out of the court, according to the customs and rules, they could not enter the ancestral grave if they died prematurely.
Therefore, in order to protect his parents, Yu'er, and those who love him, he must fight for it in this world of mortals.If Jia Lian's faction does not ascend to a high position, then he may have no peace for a day.
Who told him that he was just the son of a mere merchant!
It's his fault that he looks as stinky as ever!
After Hutu left the prison, he went home and planned to visit the plaintiff's family after listening to all the accountant's words and the account books.
Upon hearing this, all the stewards fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Don't know why.According to the information he received earlier, the relevant case was reported in this way. After the plaintiff Zhao Xiaoer’s mother bought the salt sold by Hu’s family, she went home to cook and caused Zhao Xiaoer’s wife, Zhao Li, who was cooking at the time. Zhao Wangshi, the mother of Shi and Zhao Xiaoer, had unbearable abdominal pain. After being sent to the doctor, the doctor diagnosed that the salt was shoddy, and the ash mixed with the salt contained rat poison, so she died.After reporting the case, it was found that the batches being sold by the shops under the Hu family were all miscellaneous salt, and all of them were tested to contain rat poison.However, Qian Qiandao, the original shopkeeper of the Hu family, was resentful because the head of the Hu family lost his trust and was about to sell the property, so he felt revenge.But luckily, he found out with his conscience that he didn't act according to the Patriarch's order.There are present witnesses, material evidence and oral testimony.
As the shopkeeper who has been with the Hu family for many years, Wu Gui said: "Young master, this plaintiff is now locked up by... Uncle Zhen."
"Closed?" Hu Tu frowned, he had received a letter from Jia's family before, saying that Jia Zhen was very urgent.When did it become so strong again?
Hutu got up and went to ask Jia Zhen one or two in person.
Jia Zhen put her arms around two Yangzhou skinny horses. Hearing this, she was triumphant: "I sent the plaintiff's family to the prison for smashing the official porcelain blue and white teacup. This is why I bought it specially to pay tribute to the emperor."
Hu Tu: "..."
Jia Zhen plausibly said: "So as not to be bribed to string together words! Brother Lian said, I can't pry their mouths open, so I put them in prison and no one is allowed to visit. These little people can't see the connector, so they will think I am The more powerful they are, the more they will be afraid."
Hutu frowned: "Cell? I didn't seem to see it before?"
"A big prison in the military camp. The magistrates don't listen to me." Jia Zhen had another "little bitch" look, doubting: "Is it useful for Brother Lian to ask you to come?"
While talking, Jia Zhen said in a slightly ostentatious tone: "My uncle supervised the construction of sea boats and repaired sea ponds in Yangzhou, Gusu, and he left a little bit of incense. I went out of Beijing this time and brought all the They were the guards of the Jia family in the past, but none of them were eloquent. There are a few quarrelsome people in Lianhua Academy here, but they are also gentlemen, and some are too pedantic and old-fashioned. They have to act according to the laws and regulations. Funny, If you want to act according to the rules, your Hu family has already been confiscated. But I have no other choice, so I put the plaintiff's family in the navy prison."
Although Jiang Hai, the young garrison now, is a bit concerned about power, but Wang Ziteng doesn't like it even more. In comparison, they are naturally much cuter.
After the corners of Hu Tu's mouth twitched, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Your ancestors really worked hard to protect you to such an extent." Throw it away from the military camp prison. Look at the son of the salt merchant, he is also so capable.
Jia Zhente smiled proudly: "Of course!"
Hu Tu: "..."
Because in the cell, Hu Tu was afraid that Jia Zhen's favor would be more difficult to repay if he went to it repeatedly, and he was also afraid that he owed favor debts, so he first investigated the plaintiff and Qian Qian, the shopkeeper who betrayed their Hu family.
Even if the son of the rich and powerful is playing the game of "little power willfulness", he, an ant, should try his best to follow the law, check for loopholes, and clean up the grievances of the Hu family in an open and honest manner.
When she heard that she was going to conduct a field visit and investigation, Jia Zhen was not interested, so she waved her hand and started drinking and having fun with the Yangzhou skinny horse.
Seeing this, Hu Tu didn't know why he always felt his palms were a little itchy, and wanted to beat him up so that he could make better progress, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the corner of the royal robe Jia Zhen was wearing, but he didn't give up.
After all, their ancestors are different, and their circumstances are different.As long as Jia Zhen doesn't die in this life and lives by herself behind closed doors, then according to her original goal, she may have struggled for the rest of her life, and when she enters Beijing, she will have to bow down and give him a big red envelope.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Hutu picked up Fu Yu who had already returned home, and the two of them took the work that they had come from afar, and went to the scene to search for it.
Although Du Yuzuo was young, he was also quite experienced. He also brought his fellow apprentice Lu Ping to come together, and he did not hide his secrets, and began to investigate and record bit by bit in front of them.
As a layman, Hu Tu was confused, but he saw that the two officials and eunuchs in the capital were so dedicated, and he also received the favor of Jia Lian and the two, even if he took one with him in a teaching style, he didn't care much. Seeing that Fu Yu listened with gusto, he wished he could grab Lu Ping's paper and pen and follow along.He let out a helpless laugh, greeted everyone, and went to investigate the neighbors on his own.
He is good at greeting fellow villagers.
Hu Tu changed into cassock on purpose and came knocking on the wooden fish all the way, carrying the immortal demeanor of a monk, looking at the villagers in awe.
"Not good, not good, there is a big disaster in this village!"
======
Just when Hutu was pretending to be tricked by intelligence, Xue Qingyun, the patriarch of the Xue family and Wang Ziteng's brother-in-law, received the news of Hutu and Fu Yu's return to Yangzhou from his servants, with a look of indifference in his eyes.Because Wang Zisheng, the eldest son of the Wang family in Jinling, was useless, and Wang Zisheng fell ill, so he was responsible for suppressing the Hu family.He can guarantee that the case of the Hu family's adulteration of salt is guaranteed to be flawless, and there will be no clues to investigate.
He is not afraid of these two boys who have no fame, but he is tired of Jia Zhen who is always showing off his might by relying on his good ancestor.
All the officials in the Jiangnan area are also good people. When they saw Jia Zhen coming to Yangzhou in person, some of them retreated.
Helping Jia Zhu, whose father is only a fifth-rank official, who is only a scholar himself, to deal with Jia Lian, a rising man, who is the heir of Lord Rong of the Kingdom of Rong, is a fool.Even if Jia Zhu has a good uncle and Wang Ziteng is the governor of the capital, so what?
Not to mention justice and justice, this money is not as refreshing and magnanimous as Jia Zhen's management. As for this power, the whole Jiangnan where Jia Zhen is blatantly knows about Wang Ziteng's family history, and even implicates Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt and censor Lin Ruhai body.
Jia Zhen said that Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of the Jia family, even if he is talented, but without the contribution of the Jia family, let alone other things, let's go and see how Lin Ruhai's other Jinshi officers are doing: the number one scholar, so far, is only a fourth-rank magistrate, and the second place is even worse , was demoted and became a small dormitory supervisor; Chuanlu did not end well, and became a steward in the academy.
Jia Zhen has a thick skin, and I don't know who made a mistake, and everyone in the fireworks and willow lanes sang about it.Anyone who has something to do with the Jia family has to speak up for them, otherwise they will become ungrateful white-eyed wolves.
Therefore, Lin Ruhai made a written statement in public, Daoming himself did not use his power for personal gain, he never revoked the Hu family's salt invitation, and he never condoned his wife and nephew to suppress the Hu family, and even blew himself up. I am worried about my only son, and worried about the succession of the old Lin family's incense.The inside and outside of the words are short of saying that they have no intention of official business.
But Jia Zhen's turmoil didn't end well, and she even flaunted her relationship with the inner palace, threatening to remove the official position of the Xue family's royal merchant.
Therefore, Xue Qingyun's focus in the past few days has been thinking about how to deal with Jia Zhen.This kind of skinless, shameless, dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, he can't wait to kill it with black hands!But she couldn't even kill her. Jia Zhen traveled a lot, and even in Hu's house, there were guards on both sides. Even the thin Yangzhou horse in her arms was carefully selected.
"My lord, it's not good. The magistrate of Yangzhou has received news that Jia Zhen has asked for a hearing on the case of the Hu family." The housekeeper who received the news rushed to report.
"Trial is trial, forgive them for not making any troubles!" Xue Qingyun said with confidence.For the family he had chosen, Zhao Wang could regard his Xue family as a great benefactor, and was grateful.Moreover, only Zhao Wang knew about this matter, but she herself drank the medicine and died cleanly.Even if Bao Qingtian was still alive, he probably wouldn't be able to find out any clues.
As for Qian Qian, he himself took advantage of being the treasurer of the Hu family to resell private salt, mixed with government and private, and no matter which one was exposed, it would be a dead end. Get a way out for yourself.
Although Xue Qingyun was certain, but because this matter was assigned by his elder brother-in-law, even if he did it perfectly, out of prudent considerations, he still went to the Yangzhou magistrate to emphasize it again and again.
The magistrate of Yangzhou didn't dare to make any further assertions, he just said: "Besides Xue Yuan, the lower officials have humble positions, but they dare not say anything else. The students from the Lotus Academy all came to watch the trial. If there is any injustice, Fu Que will make a complaint. , it's not something my little fourth-rank magistrate can bear!"
What's more, Wang Ziteng's position is now in jeopardy.This mansion report came, and it was recorded in detail. Because of the ineffective recovery of the arrears, he was repeatedly reprimanded by the present.Why should he take the risk again to take responsibility for the Wang family.
"My lord." Xue Qingyun cursed secretly, but with a smile on his face, he took out a letter, "I hope your lord can deal with it a little bit more. Not to mention anything else, if there is any unexpected situation, how about another trial?"
The magistrate of Yangzhou politely refused to send it back, with a calm expression and extremely righteous words: "Mr. Xue, this case is no longer a trivial matter. I will handle it impartially."
The pressure from the Jia family, the pressure from the students, and the gossip from the common people made him unable to wait for Wang Ziteng's promise to be transferred to the capital.
"Come on, let's open the hall!" The magistrate of Yangzhou flicked his sleeves, swayed his official authority, and walked with eight-character steps, following the "mighty" voice of the yamen servant, and went to the front yamen hall.
Xue Qingyun who stayed in the lobby suddenly changed his face back and forth, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitched a few times. He always felt that this matter was going to happen, so he hurriedly sent someone to write to Wang Ziteng to think about countermeasures.If the matter of suppressing the Hu family comes to light, I'm afraid it will be Brother Zhu who will be ruined.Although this person was secretly sent by him, it was in the name of the Jia family.
Facts have proved that Xue Qingyun's premonition is very good.
In the courtroom, before the magistrate knocked on the gavel and said a word of silence, Qian Qian, who was one of the witnesses, had already confessed his criminal evidence clearly.He didn't want to recall the suffering he had suffered in that endless black cage.And only now did he know that Xue, the King of Jiashi, and Jia Jia, the head of the four major families in Jinling, stood behind their young master and helped him.The head of the family, Lord Jia, just said a word, and the military men who usually have high eyesight arrested them all without saying a word.
Hu Tu sneered, and clearly put the Hu family's account books for many years, the list of goods sold and received, Qian Qian's apprentice Xiaoer, and Qian Qian's family's daily expenses in court.
"My lord, this money is due to my Hu family's ignorance. This matter should be punished, and my Hu family should plead guilty." After Hutu finished speaking, he looked at the people who were watching with guilt: "My Hu family is willing to dispose of all the family property and do it for Yangzhou. The suffering people provided the gold and silver purchased with salt for one year for free. After that, my Hu family will no longer step into the salt merchant business."
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd was in an uproar, but they felt that the Hu family ruined themselves because of a scum, which was a bit too serious.
But Hu Tu's words made them helpless and felt reasonable.I saw the muddle-headed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with his palms together, his face resembling that of incomparable compassion, singing a Buddhist gatha, and said: "My Buddha is merciful. The poor monk can only be taught by the master, but unexpectedly he can't even save the people around him. It's really a sin." Karma is hard to get rid of."
The onlookers all sighed, and many emotional women even sobbed softly, thinking that it was not easy for Mr. Fenghuang!
"This Hu Yuanwai's family is kind-hearted. They build bridges and pave roads every year to benefit the village, and even send clothes and gifts. It's like giving their heirs a good fate. How could they suffer such crimes!"
"Although this Mr. Phoenix is called jokingly, don't say that Mr. Hu is handsome. He is worthy of this title. He himself is always doing good things."
"That's right, that year when I went to pray to Buddha, I turned my foot on the mountain road, and this young man carried me to the sky. It's so hot in summer."
"........."
The magistrate above the high court heard the increasingly uncontrollable whispers, patted the gavel with a cold face, and said: "Silence! Witness Qian Qian, you can confirm that what you said in the court is correct, then sign it! If you dare to reverse your confession at will, or tamper with and slander, according to the law, this official will sentence you to death!"
"This..." Qian Qianyi couldn't help but turn pale when he heard that he was dead. He looked around, not knowing what to do.
"My lord, I'm sorry, what you said is wrong," Hutu explained forcefully and with a straight voice, "Our dynasty has strict jurisdiction over the death penalty. According to the law of our dynasty, only the Ministry of Punishment has the right to sever the death penalty. And it still needs to be reviewed by Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. After the severance, it is necessary to appeal to the emperor, so it is a three-review system. Remember, this is an important test point, and the death penalty is divided into Li Jue and Qiu Hou Ju..."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
Everyone outside the courtroom: "..."
The students of Lotus Academy nodded in unison: "That's right, it's an important test site!" Their stupid seniors are good at everything, but they can't take the imperial examination because of their background.
When he heard that he could get a chance to reduce his sentence after confessing, Qian Qianli's eyes sparkled brightly, and said: "Yes... it was the servants of the Jia family who made me slander the Hu family. It is our young master who offended him. If you don't listen I am afraid that all of us will not be pleased with his orders!"
"Are you sure?" Jia Zhen, who was sitting under the courtroom, suddenly stood up when she heard the words, and said: "The general called all the servants over, you may recognize one or two?! My Jia family has this evil, I naturally He will never be spared lightly! My Patriarch dares to swear in front of the national law and patriarchal law that he will definitely not cover up any member of the Jia clan! Just say it!"
"This... almost everyone in Yangzhou knows that the eldest son of your family is jealous of my young master's talent!" When Qian Qian saw Jia Zhen, he was so scared that his ass pissed. The power to lock them up.
In an instant, there was a smell of urine wafting in the courtroom!
Upon hearing Qian Qian's words, Jia Zhen controlled the upturned corners of her mouth, and yelled angrily: "Presumptuous, I have only one son and direct line in Ningfu, and I have only one son under my knees, so I can be called the eldest son, but other You are only five years old, and you don't even know how to make soy sauce! You don't know where to go when you go out, so how can you be so jealous of your young master!"
Hearing Jia Zhen's words, the onlookers all burst into laughter, but Xue Wang's family and the people sent by Mrs. Wang in the crowd all looked irritable, left in a hurry, and went back to report to the supervisor.Seeing this situation, I'm afraid it's going to be bad!
Jia Zhen's family ugliness was exposed to the outside world. I'm afraid she wants to implement the matter of expulsion from the family first!
Sharp-eyed found that someone had left, Jia Zhen seemed to be getting more and more angry, and the speed of her speech was also getting faster and faster: "The previous generation of Rongfu had two households and they had already separated. His son, named Jia Lian, had his right arm cut and was studying hard at Qingbei Academy while he was training his arm. How could he bully others in Yangzhou City?!"
"The person you are talking about is probably the eldest son of the second house, Jia Zhu. His father has long since passed away. The owner of the Rong Mansion took pity on his young father, but let him still live in the Marquis Mansion, so that he could hire a famous teacher to teach him. Unexpectedly, he would breed his power to bully others." Heart, destroying the prestige accumulated by my Jia family's father and ancestors is not worthy of descendants!" Jia's patriarch couldn't beat the clan elders in the ancestral hall, but now he is relying on his robes, which is cool!
"Such evils, not to mention narrow-mindedness, dare to kill people, not only destroy the Hu family's foundation for many years, but also dare to poison the lives of many people at will. It is really hateful and hateful. I will expel him from my Jia clan!"
"Okay! This is righteous killing of relatives, but it also changed the Phoenix son and the Hu family for justice. It is also the manifestation of the Bodhisattva." Xing'er, who was in the crowd, squeezed his throat and gave Jia Zhen a very face-saving answer.He watched the whole case.On the bright side, everything will be fine if Qianqian is cut off. First, Jia Zhu will be expelled from the Jia family. Otherwise, according to reports, Jia Zhu would have been so angry that he would die if he didn't pay attention. Yes, but it hurt their second master Lian.
"Unfortunately, I thought it was true that officials and officials protect each other in the script."
"This...that's right! The punishment is constantly being severe! After all, if Rang is successful, he may kill more people."
"That's right!"
"The patriarchal clan is broken, what about the national law!"
"My lord, hurry up and ask someone to question that Jia Zhu!"
"It is said that this person has the reputation of a scholar. He really knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart!"
"........."
Looking at the excitement of the people, and looking at the fearless face saying that the judgment is in accordance with the law, Jia Zhen even reminded with a very righteous face: "I said this nonsense earlier, although I have the eight-discussion system in my dynasty, I can't be exempted from honors." The descendants will die. But it is our direct branch and direct line that are concealed by these eight proposals!"
The magistrate of Yangzhou was talking about him for a long time. He was the direct elder brother of Jia Guiren in the harem. After all, he didn't have the nerve to say it out, so he could only send a signature, ordering the yamen servant to arrest Jia Zhu for interrogation.
Since Jia Zhu was in Jinling, Yangzhou was two hours away from Jinling along the Shunshui Road, so it took half a day to go back and forth.
After the Yangzhou magistrate explained to the common people, seeing the expressions of the people, he said that the retrial will be retried tomorrow.
Although it was delayed for half a day as they expected, Jia Zhen did not dare to relax at all, and let Xing'er carry it to the capital to send the document he knocked out to expel Jia Zhu from the clan. It is clearly marked that today's date is the 16th day of the [-]th day of the [-]th day of the [-]th day of the month. He was so scared that Jia Zhu died when he was out of breath.Even though the magistrate hadn't pronounced the sentence yet, but he committed the crime of poisoning and jealousy and expelled him to the point. It's important not to block his younger brother's progress.
Even if he knew what was going on behind the scenes, Jia Zhu was actually not that capable. It was all supervised by his good uncle and good uncle, but so what, this jealousy was actually real.
After finishing this matter, Jia Zhen hurriedly dragged Hutu again, regardless of who met relatives and friends, thanked everyone, and took them back to Jinling in a mighty manner, urging the boatman to hurry, and said: "I have thought about it for a long time, I don't know why, but I feel that you have won my favor. You are also lucky. I suddenly remembered that in addition to Wenju, there are also martial arts. This martial arts is not as strict as Wenju's express restrictions. Moreover, after all, Taizu founded the country with martial arts, so he treated us a noble family a little bit. He was afraid that our descendants would be useless, so he opened the door for convenience. Although we have only one generation of patriarchs under our name, it is not easy to use it. The requirements must be from my own family, as long as I have contact with the Jia family, I can recommend it voluntarily. Brother Rong, I don’t want him to suffer. Besides, this old man brought him into a Taoist temple, so it’s cheaper for you. You just need to be a member With me, you can sign up to participate in the martial arts directly as a martial arts scholar. This Jiangnan area doesn't emphasize martial arts very much, so it's no problem for you to be a martial arts leader? When the time comes, I can also say to my ancestor Lele, My Jia family is considered to have successors."
Hearing Jia Zhen's flattering plan, Hu Tu frowned: "What if I say no?"
"Are you so ignorant?" Jia Zhen's eyes sank, and she said angrily, "If it hadn't been for the fact that you have won the trust of Brother Lian, and this idea of expelling Jia Zhu in court would be in line with our shameless and shameless dandies. , this general is not willing to praise you!"
"You have such a self-evaluation?" Hutu said earnestly: "You can't learn a thing or two from Jia Lian, or even from your uncle Jia She. He is already in his thirties, and he can still read quietly. Anyway, it is considered serious. The Eight Classics has achieved fame, how about you? You have achieved nothing in your twenties!" At the end of speaking, Hu Tu felt that he hated iron and steel more and more.
"Presumptuous! Don't be shameless!" Jia Zhen never thought that she would be scolded once she was kind, her face turned green and pale, and finally her face turned green: "You dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart. Things, my father didn't say a word against me, how dare you accuse me! You are just a son of a salt merchant, and I can kill you with one word!"
Hearing the word salt merchant again, Hutu became completely annoyed. He grabbed Jia Zhen and immediately threw her overboard.
"Uncle Zhen!" Everyone in Jia's mansion was stunned by this scene, and while ordering the boatman to stop the boat, those who knew how to swim rushed into the water to save people.What is this called!
I saw that the culprit, Hu Tu, was stuffing his master and beating him in the water with a deadpan expression on his face!
At the moment Jia Zhen was thrown into the water, she felt terribly frightened and terrified, and the fear of death could not help but suffocate him.
Jia Zhen shouted with all her strength, from the original scolding to a cry for help: "You...you don't know what's good...cough cough cough...I don't know how to drink water...quickly, let me go up, I will... I will never despise you again..."
Hutu yelled at the servant of Jia's family who was about to jump down: "I control the strength, don't let me down." He kept Jia Zhen in one hand, and smiled: "Study hard, have a whole body of skills, do you understand? Don’t just rely on your ancestors!”
"Relying on the ancestors, what's wrong with relying on the ancestors, you think I... I am you?!" Jia Zhen couldn't help being angry when she heard this: "Do you know my Jia family, who is my father?"
"who?!"
"He is Prince Loyalty's companion! What difference does it make if I don't make progress?" Jia Zhen said, her eyes turned red unconsciously, her voice became a little softer, aggrieved: "What do you know? Sir, I am the only child of the Ning Mansion. Dumiao, do you understand? I think it was also cultivated by the heir back then!"
"Is the heir trained to look like you?" Hutu let go when he heard this.
"Pfft... my father... my father..." Jia Zhen struggled, clutching Hutu's hand firmly with one hand, and said: "My father was bound into the Taoist temple by Prince Zhongyi in order to avoid the present. This... There’s also partisanship in it.”
"Oh. What about Rong Mansion? You can't write Jia Lai in one stroke." Seeing Jia Zhen's tendency to cry, Hu Tu's expression eased, and he asked.It is impossible to suppress a family and raise a family nowadays, right?
"I don't know. Anyway, it's good for me if Brother Lian's promotion is good, so why should I stop them? It's like Brother Lian would persuade me not to spend money and drink, but to think about the future, but that's the point. Anyway, we know each other , the other party won’t harm us.” Jia Zhen found that she was frightened so bald that she said everything, she stared angrily, and proudly put on a frightened and frightened face: “Anyway, there is One day as the emperor, my Jia family will be rich and have no worries. This kind of backing, you cannot envy."
"Yes, I can't envy you, so I feel that you are very unflattering. I always want to teach you a lesson." Hu Tu held Jia Zhen in a cold voice, borrowed the bamboo poles handed over by Jia's servants on the deck, and flew on her. Boat, patted the dumbfounded Jia Zhen: "Go and drink a cup of ginger tea, soak yourself up, and wait until I get a martial arts leader, and I will give it to your Jia family ancestor Lele."
"You..." Jia Zhen suddenly stood up straight, pointing tremblingly: "You
