The patriarch of the Red Mansion is so handsome

Chapter 23 Rong Ning's Punishment

This is a character that he never expected.

Zuo Quan got up, thinking while walking, his face became a little dignified.Among the nobles who followed the Tai and grandfather to found the country in the past, only the King of Beijing made the most contribution, and his title was hereditary.However, King Beijing, who founded the mansion, passed away within two days after he was crowned queen, leaving behind only one son, who was two years old.Because of pity for the Shui family (the other three princes still hold the military power and guard one side, and the eight princes are also granted official positions. Only the Shui family has no adult males to set up a family), the grandparents also recognize the king of Beijing His wife is Yijie, and she is honored as Princess Zhenbei.

Since then, the relationship between King Beijing's lineage and the royal family has become closer, and Princess Zhenbei and Princess Beijing are also quite eye-catching.Although no one from the Shui family is in the military or politics now, they are also a scholarly family.The current king of Beijing, Shui Rong, has not yet been crowned weak, and has a modest temperament. He is a well-known elegant talent all over the world. He often holds some elegant gatherings for literati, and has never been involved in politics.

With a lot of doubts, Zuo Quan saluted: "Your Majesty has seen the prince." He said and led him to a secluded small hall.

"Lord Zuo, you are being polite." Wang Beijing returned the salute with a smile, expressing his intention of coming with a humble attitude: "Xiao Wang and Jia's family also have close friendships, and this morning I suddenly heard about the branch of Rongning..."

Speaking of this, the King of Beijing Jing still had an embarrassed expression on his face, and said embarrassingly: "I was a little shocked when I first heard about it. After thinking about it, I felt that I should use my old relatives and old friends to persuade me. Unexpectedly, it will interfere with the official business. Master Zuo forgive me, but I hope Xiao Wang would take the liberty to ask, did Long Yan be offended by this?"

"Yes, my lord." Zuo Quan nodded without thinking.

King Bei Jing was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked aloud: "How will the case be closed then?"

"After the case is closed, you will understand." Zuo Quan said sternly: "I also hope that the prince will forgive the crime. This is the duty of the subordinate, and I cannot tell you."

Trying to put on a smile, King Beijing felt that he still had some room to move, so he stopped worrying about it, and instead asked if he could see his friend Baoyu.

Zuo Quan heard the words, and continued to be stern: "I hope the prince will forgive me. This is not the time to visit the prison. After the visit process, if you need it, I can send someone to report to you."

"Then I would like to thank Lord Zuo." King Bei Jing exchanged some greetings, Shi Shiran took his leave and left.When he walked out of the gate, his footsteps paused for a while, and King Bei Jing raised his eyes and glanced at the door plaque.Under the cover of dusk, the five characters of Chizao Rongguo Mansion lingered with a faint halo, exuding a sense of desolation, especially when standing outside the door, it seemed that faint weeping could be heard from inside the house.

Cheng Chuan couldn't help but frown, and King Bei Jing ordered the servant: "Go to the palace."

The case in the Ning Mansion has been investigated for several months, even if it involves the eldest son of the Rong Mansion, it is still under investigation.Before everything is settled, there is room for maneuver.No matter what, the mansion cannot be sealed.The mansions of their four kings and eight princes were all built by imperial edict.If it is really taken back, it means that no matter how the other crimes are judged, one of the punishments must be the result of winning the title!

No matter how useless the Jia family is, they are still the second of eight.Four kings and eight males, for many years, have always been one loss and all loss, one prosperity and all prosperity.If Jia's family was torn apart by the emperor, the founding noble faction would have to behave with their tails between their legs from now on, and they would not have the confidence to think about it back then.

After knowing the whereabouts of King Beijing, Zuo Quan turned his eyes and asked his subordinates to act quickly to avoid any accidents. On the other side, Zuo Quan was still waiting, and sent people to guard the passers-by and Flying pigeons and more.As the emperor's confidant, he also knows that today's intentions are to move the powerful Jiangnan.But don't say that the south of the Yangtze River is far away from the emperor, there is still a local snake Zhen's family in that place.

The Zhen family was born with the favor of the emperor, and the old lady of the Zhen family was a holy wife, who was the emperor's milk;Holding these two industries in hand is no less than curbing the economic and transportation lifeline of Jiangnan.

The Jia family has a close relationship with the Zhen family.The original virtuous concubine, and now Jia Cairen entered the palace through Concubine Zhen and used the Jia family's affection in front of the emperor through Concubine Zhen, etc., and was designated by the emperor as a noble concubine today.

After his subordinates reported that the suspicious person had appeared, Zuo Quan took everyone in the Jia family, and none of the Rongning and Ning mansions were left behind. He even invited the three members of the Xue family who lived as guests, as well as the daughter of the former inspector Yan Yushi, to go back to assist in the investigation.

The clansmen living on Ningrong Street looked anxiously through the doors and windows at the Rongning family, whom they regarded as the gods of the sea, wearing anklets and bracelets, and being escorted away by the murderous Jin Yiwei. Supernatural powers.

On this side, as soon as the escort team left Ningrong Street, they waited to enter the market.The streets and alleys in the night were extraordinarily lively before the curfew.Quite a few passers-by restrained their fear of San Si, gathered around to watch the excitement, pointed and told the latest news they knew—

"Those are from the Jia family! Did you hear that? The house was ransacked."

"Really ransacked the house? No way, they are four princes and eight males, amazing!"

"They're all prodigal sons. Think about the generals Jia, especially the Duke of Rong, Jia Daishan, how powerful they are. The scene of defeating the pirates and returning to the court seems to be still in sight."

"Tch, that's all the old calendar. Let me tell you the latest news. Do you know that the Jia family has divided into three clans?"

"I know, I know, that's the old Huangli calendar. Wait, isn't it true that Jia Zheng hasn't been the head of the family for a day?"

"Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money! This kind of hypocrite and hypocrite is a villain who takes advantage of the fire."

"........."

Jia Zheng, the leader, listened to the filth, swearing, obscenity, and language that fell into his ears, and wished that he, as a daughter, could enjoy the treatment of riding in a car with a felt hat and a mask.Covering his face with his sleeves, Jia Zheng deepened his hatred for Jia Amnesty with every step he took.

Jia Rong, however, held her head high and strode forward, wishing she could get to the cell as soon as possible.That way he can see his father.

After arriving at the Dali Temple Prison, Jia Rong also enjoyed the treatment of a private courtyard, and was imprisoned with Jia Amnesty and the others in the cell of Xuan Zihao.The one who has the same treatment as Jia Rong is Jia She's granddaughter, who was specially taken care of to stimulate Jia She's desire to survive—if you have a granddaughter, will your grandson be far behind?

As for the others, they were not treated so well.

The female relatives went to punish four places: Jia's mother; Mrs. Xing and Li Wan to welcome the spring; Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng and Xue's mother and daughter.The treatment of the three well-divided groups of people is also gradually reduced—clean single room, three-person room, and shared detention with other prisoners.Lin Daiyu was not sent to prison because she was a guest, but lived in a wing room in the guest courtyard of Dali Temple.

As for the men, they are also divided into two places: Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Xue Pan in the second room. They are treated the same as Mrs. Wang and the others. The cobwebs are raised in the cell, and the cockroaches are crawling all over the place. The eyes of friends are shining, and it stinks into black charcoal when viewed closely; Jia Cong is left alone in the big house.

Although there is no rumor about the detention treatment in Dali Temple, it is still easy for interested people to inquire about it.

Prince Teng, who bewitched Jia Zheng to snatch the patriarch's position, got the news through years of connections, and stayed up all night. Anyone with a little brain would know at a glance who the emperor's punishment was focused on.Originally, he just wanted to make the Jia family a joke, but he never expected that it would be so easy to succeed. The Jia family was a complete joke and angered the emperor.

Not wanting to admit that he shot himself in the foot, the prince thought about it and decided to stay the same.What's more, he is now like a bodhisattva crossing the river, and he can't protect himself.The fact that Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan, a squire in Jinling, was also brought out as "radish mud".If he knew about this matter from the beginning, he would not let Xue Pan have anything to do with it, but Jia Yucun settled the case and blamed it on Xue Pan.

That's all, what's even more hateful is that Jia Yucun wrote him and Jia Zheng each a letter afterwards.Although he didn't point it out clearly, he also said [the matter of your nephew is over, don't worry about it].What's stupid is that Jia Zheng didn't have a hobby of destroying letters, and it is said that they were dug out.

But this idiot has a good life, the old lady above paves the way for him, and the daughter below is also a success.

It's just disgusting!

The more he thought about it, the prince was full of anger.Before he knew it, it was dawn, and there were discussions in the hall about yesterday's ups and downs in Jia's family. Wang Ziteng listened carefully with his ears pricked up, lest he miss a word, which would lead to a mistake in his previous family, and even more. All the time, he secretly glanced at the present carefully, trying to guess the holy will.

But this time, the holy intention was so out of the question that he said it directly.

"The Jia family has many crimes, and they should be sentenced to thousands of miles in prison according to the law." Today, rubbing the edge of the tea, he raised his eyes and glanced coldly at the civil and military officials of the court: "But what the ministers said is also reasonable, and there is love outside the law. Therefore, the decree is sent to deprive Ningguo Jia Zhen, a descendant of the Duke, inherited the title of the third-class Weihua General, demoted to a commoner, and confiscated his family property."

After saying this, no one in the courtiers spoke. Instead, they held their breath nervously and tried to prick up their ears, lest they might fail later.For Jia Zhen of the Ning Mansion, the culprit who caused the Jia family's case did not seem to be important at the moment. What they were curious about was the verdict of the Rong Mansion.King Beijing Jing, who had already come to Daming Palace to intercede last night, frowned when he heard this, but did not come forward to say a word.

"Deprive Jia She, a descendant of Rong Guogong, from inheriting the title of first-class deified general, demote him to a commoner, and confiscate his family property."

After the words were finished, the courtiers waited for a long time with their necks held high. Seeing that there was indeed nothing to say, many people looked around and saw their own surprise and bewilderment in the eyes of the other party.There was an eyebrow-to-eye lawsuit with each other, and a royal censor stood up. After saluting, he said: "The emperor is merciful, but I heard that the third department sealed up the Rong mansion yesterday, and sent the second son of Duke Rong, Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, to the court. They were also imprisoned, and there were even female relatives."

"That's not the family of the criminal Jia Amnesty. The head of the family committed a crime, and the others still want to get away with it?" Zuo Quan came out and replied.

"But it is said that the two brothers have already separated, and Jia Amnesty once set up another family. Besides, it is said..."

"The interrogation by the three divisions is about ironclad evidence, not rumors." Today's complexion was drawn, seeing other people eager to try, he said coldly.

"Then Jia Zheng punished..."

"I am the emperor, and this is the Qianqing Palace. The second son of Rongning's hereditary crime deserves to be punished." Unexpectedly, he is really annoyed to death by those who rely on affection and some people jumping up and down.

Today, when he went to court in the morning, the queen personally came to say that Jia Cairen, who had been thrown into the cold palace yesterday, was pregnant.

What a coincidence!

Thinking about it, his face became more and more dark today, and he asked straight to the point: "Dare to ask Jia Zheng's official residence, is it necessary to waste my morning time?"
