The patriarch of the Red Mansion is so handsome

Whether the emperor is a wise king or not cannot be determined overnight, nor can it be determined by one thing. What needs to be seen is a comprehensive evaluation.Although Jia Rong didn't know the government, Jia Zhen stumbled through the dusty "Di Bao" in the study of the Ning Mansion. Judging from the government orders implemented in recent years, she felt that she still had some brains, and the emperor also had some brains.Even if the father and son had a bit of a dispute over power, at least they could hold their ground.Otherwise, it might have died with the second generation of Qin and Sui dynasties.

Therefore, Jia Zhen went to Dali Temple to surrender as planned.

Jia Zhen's attitude was very good. She only wore coarse linen clothes, even a blouse with exposed legs and arms, and fixed her hair with a crude wooden hairpin. Walk to Dali Temple.

Seeing this, the people along the road gathered around to watch the commotion, gossiping in low voices: "Have you heard that the Jia family has been sued! The suffering master beat the Dengwen drum!"

"It was because of the Jia family that the sound of drums spread all over the capital that day! This man, what else do you know?"

"Let me tell you, it is said that this servant of the Jia family has no conscience!"

"A servant again? Wouldn't it be shirking responsibility?"

"How is it possible! Don't you know? Just the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, the servants of the Ning Mansion were all copied all the way. I have a brother who works as a servant in the Shuntian Mansion. It is said that they have been trying for several days because of this. .The gold and silver copied from the slave house filled the whole house!"

"That's great, the Jia family is rich enough!"

"I don't even think about Jia's family being generals, it's a pity that their descendants are not filial!"

"Your news is outdated. It is said that Jia Zhen's prodigal son has turned around, and he is the one who reported the case!"

"No way?"

"Really, let me tell you..."

"........."

Along the way, Jia Zhen listened to the whispers of the surrounding people, and listened to their Ning Mansion's "water army" guiding public opinion, silently thinking about her own small calculations, but unexpectedly encountered obstacles just as she turned a corner.Seeing this, Jia Zhen frowned, and looked at Bao Mian who got off the sedan chair in front of them with some curiosity.

Bao Mian glanced at Jia Zhen, and said in a low voice, "General Jia has not yet started the trial, and everything has not yet been convicted and sentenced. Before the case is closed, why should it be so?"

Seeing Bao Mian's frown, Jia Zhen was not afraid that people would know his "trickery", she lowered her head and said regretfully, "Master Bao, you are guilty or not, think about the things you copied from those tricky slaves earlier. Why should I, Jia Zhen, deceive myself and others? It is true that I have not strictly supervised this matter. I will admit to the offence of this conniving servant. It will also save the plaintiff from a day in jail. Because he is a citizen suing the government, he even He is the one who suffers, and he has to spend time in the cell before the case is over. But what about me, the defendant? I can still be at ease, just because I am a descendant of honorable nobles, and I can be exempted from the eight rules!"

"But these Eight Proposals were introduced to show consideration for those who have made contributions to the country and the family. They can make meritorious deeds, and they can play a greater value after they know their mistakes. But I, Jia Zhen..."

Speaking of this, Jia Zhen chuckled, with a desolate and self-deprecating voice, and even a trace of inferiority complex.Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

"I, Jia Zhen, have no hope in my country or family. I'm just a dude. I'm sorry for the merits of my ancestors. Naturally, only by being treated equally with the people can I have the face to see my ancestors in the future." Jia Zhen said, slowly bending towards Bao Mian Make a salute, and then continue to walk towards Dali Temple step by step.

Jia Rong who was following at the side also bowed to Bao Mian and saluted. She was also dressed in coarse linen and followed Jia Zhen closely.

Watching the father and son leaving, Bao Mian frowned tightly into Cheng Chuan.For some reason, he always felt that there was something weird about this matter.

On this side, Dali Temple welcomes Jia Zhen, and in a trance, pulls past the suffering brothers - the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.This matter has not yet been heard and is still in the stage of investigation.After all, the incident happened in Jinling, and they had to form a team and send people there.Not to mention the time required during this process, it is the crime of the prosecution. The previous item of land occupation is actually not important.

Not to mention the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, even the boundaries of the capital city, this word is indispensable.

It's all up to you.

What makes it difficult for their subordinates is that there are still two "uppers" now!

Therefore, it can be seen with the naked eye that this case will take time, and it may be a year or two.

Now Jia Zhen not only pleaded guilty, but also sent all the warehouse keys and account books of the Ning Mansion to cooperate with the investigation. What is the meaning?

Sanji was silent.

In the end, it was Dali Temple's minister who took the case. Since Jia Zhen has cooperated so much, it's embarrassing not to close it. Anyway, he specializes in interrogating corrupt officials in Dali Temple, and he is not afraid of retaliation afterwards.As for Jia Rong who wanted to enter the cell together, she drove them home.

After Jia Zhen was imprisoned, the minister of the Dali Temple dragged a troubled brother into the palace with one hand, and went through the facts of the case. People went to Jinling to conduct related investigations.

Ever since, Jia Zhen stayed in the prison of Dali Temple from the hot summer until the golden autumn and October.

For this efficiency, Jia Zhen wanted to scold her.

But this day, Jia Zhen had just practiced boxing, when she heard the sound of the prison cell opening, she looked back and saw Jia Lian, who was being held down by the yamen servants and staggering in shackles, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Finally the inmate is waiting!

Speaking of this inmate, I have to mention that Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian came to visit the prison on the third day after he entered the cell voluntarily.

That day, Jia Amnesty scolded Jia Zhen, but in the end he spoke up quite helplessly, with the look of an uncle who is willing to go all out and only wants to get people out, and said: "Zhen'er, you have suffered, plead guilty." So I pleaded guilty, anyway, there is still money to pay for the crime. Don't worry about it. Although you have changed a bit, you are my nephew. I watched you grow up, and we have been in love for many years. Don't worry, Even if Ning Mansion's money is not enough to atone, your uncle and I are rich and will fish you out. Don't worry!"

Seeing that Jia She was about to go all out, and directly stuffed him with a thick stack of banknotes so that he could deal with the jailers, Jia Zhen raised her brows, remembering Jia She's only bright spot in "A Dream of Red Mansions".When Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were in distress, Jia Amnesty did not give up helping them.This incident is also regarded by many people as one of the manifestations of Jia She's serious affection.

Of course, the more important thing is that he, Jia Zhen, always pays back, and doesn't like to owe favors.

So, when Jia Rong came to visit the prison, he whispered a few words.Unexpectedly, more than a month later, the inmates came.

Unaware of the twists and turns in the middle, Jia Lian was completely bewildered.

"Zhen... Brother Zhen," Jia Lian turned his head and looked at Jia Zhen: "I...I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Jia Zhen pretended to be surprised and raised her brows: "I thought it was Uncle She who came in, but I didn't expect you to be the one who came in first! It seems that I expected it right. Convict you Alright, then..."

Listening to that meaningful smile, Jia Lian shook her head: "No! No! This is absolutely impossible, impossible! I was wronged, wronged."

"By whom?"

"It must be Sister Feng, it's her!" Jia Lian's face was full of anger: "That dog slave in Laiwang recognized it, Sister Feng ordered it!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhen had no expression on her face: "Jia Lian, are you a man? Even if you don't know? Who would believe it? You can't manage your own wife? What can you do?"

"By the way, what is your crime?"

"Giving interest money," Jia Lian said with a pale face, "This... It is said that this is not a felony. The felony is meddling in the lawsuit, eating the plaintiff and the defendant, causing the two children to commit suicide and causing death. It must be adultery. Foreign official. I went there with my... my name card, and it was confirmed that the Jia family, the Jia family... not only in the Jinling area, but also... and stretched my hand to Zhili, I..."

"It is said that the emperor, Long Yan, was furious and should be punished severely, otherwise... Otherwise, how could I enter Dali Temple."

"I……"

Seeing the cold sweat on Jia Lian's forehead and pale face, Jia Zhen spread out on the straw and said inhumanely: "Don't listen to the old man's words."

The icy cold words echoed in his ears, and Jia Lian unexpectedly heard Jia Rong's words when they met in Yingtian Mansion. The veins on his forehead were furious, and he roared out the words buried in his heart. He couldn't help shouting out, with infinite grievances. And resentment: "What can I do?! One accusation of unfilial piety, my life will be ruined? Ruined! Do you really think that I am willing to run errands?"

"Who can I rely on in Rong Mansion? Who is there?" Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhen with envy and resentment in his eyes: "Brother Zhen, you don't feel back pain when you stand and talk by yourself! You have mastered Ning Mansion at only a few years old, and even The power of the Jia clan. But what about me? If it weren’t for my obedience, calling them masters and wives, and relying on me marrying Wang Xifeng, I would have some foothold. Everyone might not be as decent as Lai Shangrong!"

"Since there are complaints and ambitions in my heart, why not use this to change?" Jia Zhen's resentment towards Jia Lian, even at the end, she was full of sadness, her expression did not change, and she said every word: " I heard that you are good at accounting? You have some talent in arithmetic, so why not come out of Rongfu and use your own talents to establish yourself! You are reluctant to part with the glory and wealth of Rongfu? But those, although according to the etiquette, are indeed things you should inherit. But the rich and powerful The power and interests of the family, when your father gives up, unless you can persuade your father again, so that your heart is all about you, and he is willing to fight for you, otherwise you will be suppressed by the mountain of filial piety for the rest of your life. I can't hold my head up."

"Of course, your father is willing to fight, but as long as your old lady is here, he can't help it! After all, the world is ruled by filial piety." Jia Zhen got up, approached Jia Lian step by step, leaned against the gap in the fence, and patted people Shoulder, whispered something in the ear.

Jia Lian seemed to be struck by lightning, his whole body was stiff and unable to move for a long time.I don't know how long it took before Jia Lian came back to his senses, looked at Jia Zhen who had already sat back on the straw mat, and shook his head angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! This is absolutely impossible! I can't be so mad!"

Jia Zhen previously suggested that he use chronic poison, medicine, and poison to kill the old lady. No matter what the old man is, he will be able to use his only son to take care of the house.

This is completely inhuman.

No matter what, the old lady was still his biological grandmother after all, even if she was so partial to the second wife.

"Then you should rely on your strength to speak!" Jia Zhen said loudly, then closed her eyes and rested her mind, and stopped talking nonsense to others, even if Jia Lian was spitting to him.

Jia Lian: "..."

Jia Lian became more stubborn, talking about nothing, wanting to see Jia Zhen's face change.But Jia Zhen didn't change, but the jailer couldn't stand it first, and came to spit on Jia Lian kindly.They have been listening to this in the small concierge for a long time, and they can't bear the babbling at all, and they have never seen such a stupid one on the stage: "We have been in the prison of Dali Temple for many years, and we have seen many corrupt officials. I've never seen someone as stupid as you. It looks like a good seed to take the place of others."
