The most rigid Jia Amnesty in the history of the Red Chamber

Situ Jun and his party in Shanhaiguan also gained a lot.When returning to the city, in addition to locking up a large number of Shanhaiguan rebel officers and soldiers, they also brought a large amount of silver and hundreds of sabers.

Of course, the commanders at all levels responsible for the salvage work, such as Li Zhuoqing and others, also returned to Beijing together.As for the five warships and other sailors, they will still return to the port where they were stationed to be responsible for coastal defense.

It seemed that a group of people returned to Beijing in a mighty manner, but under the surface of calm, each had their own thoughts.Both Li Zhuoqing and Jia Amnesty knew the specific location of the sunken ship, but for their own reasons, they both concealed and misled the main force of the navy.

Jia Amnesty knew that the people behind Li Zhuoqing would probably use this to make a fuss, but he also thought of a countermeasure.

Xu Yan is a spy affiliated to Beidou. Not only did he 'rescue' Jia She in Qingfeng County last time; he also participated in the operation to Shanhaiguan this time, and Xu Yan also went to sea.Of course, due to his identity, Xu Yan did not participate in this operation with his real identity this time, but assumed the pseudonym Xu Shan and pretended to be a sailor.

On the way back, Jia Amnesty sat on the horseback, and from time to time he would pretend to be wary and look back.When camping at night, he would deliberately drill towards the crowded camp. Xu Yan could see all of this.

Setting off the next day, Jia Amnesty seemed to have made a lot of determination, patted his horse to catch up with Xu Yan, and whispered: "Master Engong, save me."

Xu Yan glanced at Jia She.People in Beidou not only use different identities when they go out to run errands, but also use different disguises.But that day in Qingfeng County, when Xu Yan rescued Jia She from the county government, Jia She told Xu Yan that Shanhaiguan might have changed.If Jia Amnesty really had the ability to scuttle a pirate ship single-handedly, it wouldn't be surprising if he recognized himself.

"What is Master Jia talking about?" Xu Yan asked in confusion.

Naturally, Jia Amnesty knew that people from Beidou would not reveal their identities easily, so he continued to whisper, "Grandfather's voice has not changed."

In fact, Xu Yan's voice has also been slightly changed, but people with listening skills can tell the difference even if the same person has changed several voices and listened to it several times.Especially when a person inadvertently reveals a little of his original voice, it is easier to distinguish.Because Xu Yan had this ability himself, he didn't doubt Jia Amnesty.Xu Yan nodded, patted his horse and hurried forward a few steps, and Jia Amnesty naturally followed in time.

Staying away from the team, Xu Yan asked, "What's going on?"

Jia Amnesty didn't hide anything, and said very succinctly: "Li Zhuoqing wanted to kill me near the sinking ship, and I hurt his hand."

All of them are smart people who can work in Beidou. There is no need for Jia She to speak too much, and there is no need for Jia She to lead him. Xu Yan will have his own judgment.

Therefore, Xu Yan didn't say anything, nodded and said: "On the way back to Beijing, you should stay closer to me."

Jia Amnesty smiled and thanked.

After a simple exchange between the two, they fell behind a few steps and mixed into the team.Of course, Jia Amnesty was always a few steps behind Xu Yan, as if seeking protection.

Li Zhuoqing was naturally thinking of countermeasures along the way, Jia She's only loophole was that he had deliberately concealed the location of the sunken ship; if he wanted to get away with it, he had to make good use of it.

Shanhaiguan is more than 600 miles away from the capital, because Situ Jun was in a hurry to return to Beijing to return to his command, it took him less than four days to enter Beijing.

Not long after entering the west gate, I saw a mansion not far away bursting into flames. Many people put out the fire with buckets and basins;Because the place where the fire broke out is in a busy city, there are many houses around, and the firefighters shouted to get out of the way, and the affected people cried and rushed to the ground, making the noise unbearable.

It's just that the case handled by the group back to Beijing is related to the country, and there is no delay. Even if it is a major firefighting event, it is just a small episode on the way back to Beijing.

This time, Emperor Jinghuai did not sympathize with Jia She as he did last time, ordering him to go home to recuperate overnight before entering the palace; instead, he ordered Dai Quan to send a message to let Jia She enter the palace immediately.

Jia Amnesty followed Dai Quan to the upper study room, and saw a person sitting in front of the dragon case. This person had a Chinese face, about fifty years old, and his appearance was very dignified.Through the memory of the original body, Jia She could recall Emperor Jinghuai's youthful appearance, knowing that this person is the most powerful person in the world today.

So Jia She still knelt down and said: "The humble minister Jia She pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor." After finally kneeling, Jia She also knew that when he traveled to an era, he had to abide by the rules of the era.But when he really knelt down, Jia Amnesty still felt that he was not used to it.

"Jia Aiqing is flat, please sit down." Emperor Jing He didn't put on airs, and didn't make Jia Amnesty kneel for too long.Jia She got up to thank En, Dai Quan pointed to the chairs set aside, and Jia She sat down as promised.

Emperor Jinghuai naturally asked about the details of the case of salvaging the sunken ship, and Jia She answered them one by one. Although Emperor Jinghuai did not ask many questions, he hit the point everywhere, so it was not easy to be fooled.At first, Jia She thought that a monarch who would be forced to abdicate might be lacking in ability, but after this interview, Jia She's impression of Emperor Jinghuai changed somewhat.Perhaps Emperor Jinghuai's abdication was not because he was stupid, but because he was really emptied for other reasons.

No matter how smart a person is, telling too many lies will easily reveal his flaws. Therefore, nine and a half out of ten sentences of Jia She's words are true, except for the fact that he deliberately concealed the location of the sunken ship.

Sure enough, after asking a lot of questions, Emperor Jinghuai asked quite amiably: "Enhou has worked hard on this journey. Enhou said that the shipwreck was west of the reef, but how did you find it east of the reef?"

Jia Amnesty had already been mentally prepared for this question, and he had rehearsed it in his head countless times. He said calmly, "Your Majesty, I was besieged by pirates that day, and managed to escape. Maybe it's because of my memory error. Perhaps after the bottom of the ship was cut through, it drifted eastward for a while, and the actual sinking position was actually a deviation in Hechen's memory. Therefore, it was the fault of the minister for delaying the court's salvage of the sunken ship and delaying the time. Please forgive me crime."

The Baiju sailed from Shanhaiguan to the depths of the sea, traveling from west to east.Ships in ancient times were mainly made of wood and sails as the main power. After the Baiju entered the water, it was indeed possible to drift a certain distance to the east due to inertia. Therefore, Jia She misled the navy at first. Pay attention.

Emperor Jinghuai showed no emotion on his face, and he didn't know Jia Amnesty's reason, whether he believed it or not.Emperor Jinghuai still said in a calm tone: "Enhou has just entered the court as an official, and he has made such contributions to the court. What is the crime? The Baiju is indeed sunk near the reef that Enhou said, and the sea is vast. It's not Enhou's fault that his memory is a little off."

When Emperor Jinghuai was talking with Jia She, he kept paying attention to Jia She's expression, seeing that no matter what he said, Jia She answered fluently, his expression was calm, without any flickering intentions, he was quite satisfied in his heart.

After talking about the Baiju, Emperor Jinghuai changed the subject and asked a few words about Jia She's expulsion from the clan, and ordered Dai Quan to send Jia She out of the palace.

This time, Dai Quan didn't send Jia She back to Rongguo Mansion, but only sent him outside the Xihua Gate.

Dai Quan is a popular person around Emperor Jinghuai. He is very busy on weekdays and has a high status. Not to mention Jia She, a first-class general with false title, and a mere fifth-rank official; , this is a common thing.But Jia Amnesty felt that Dai Quan only sent him to Xihua Gate today, which was quite abnormal.

However, Jia She did not go back to the palace to investigate. Although Jia She is capable, who knows that there are no capable people in the palace?Jia Amnesty never dared to underestimate others, nor was he willing to take risks for this matter.

As for Dai Quan not giving him away, Jia Amnesty thought about seventeen or eighteen possibilities.He just said that he and his party had traveled four days on the road back from Shanhaiguan; but if it is really urgent at eight hundred miles, the people from Beidou can enter Beijing in less than a day.Although the large force that went to Shanhaiguan to investigate the case only entered Beijing today, Emperor Jing Huai must be aware of what happened in Shanhaiguan these days.

Then, Emperor Jinghuai ordered himself to ask questions; naturally he could also order Li Zhuoqing to ask questions.After Dai Quan sent him away, he would pick up Li Zhuoqing's group.Dai Quan was the most useful person around Emperor Jing Huai. If he made a trip in person, he would convey the emperor's most trusted information to others, and it was easy to get the other party's truth.Therefore, Dai Quan is the best messenger.

The heart of the emperor, the needle of the sea.However, Jia Amnesty didn't take the emperor's trust as all the weight. It's hard to say whether Emperor Jinghuai himself can sit firmly on the dragon chair.For Jia She, to live well in the world of Red Chamber, he still needs to make himself stronger and more reliable.

Not long after Jia Amnesty left, Dai Quan led Li Zhuoqing to the study room again.

Because of Emperor Jinghuai's personal follow-up this time, and the situation at Shanhaiguan, people from Beidou rush back to Beijing every day to report the latest progress. The Shanhaiguan case was reversed very quickly.

Early the next morning, he was still promoted in the Ministry of Punishment.Song An, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, presided over the trial, and the deputy judges of Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The third prince Situ Jun who presided over the case was also there.In addition, people involved in the case, such as Pei Sihai, Sima Chuan, and the head of the Shen family, who were escorted back to Beijing from Ping'an Prefecture and Shanhaiguan respectively, were also present.

But Emperor Jinghuai did not attend the trial, and neither Jia She nor Li Zhuoqing participated in the trial.

Because of the convincing evidence, the cases in Ping'an Prefecture and Shanhaiguan were judged quickly. Not only was Sima Chuan, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, convicted, but many officials in Ping'an Prefecture were also dismissed.As for the large vases of the Shen family that appeared on Pei Sihai's villa, they were actually given to Pei Sihai by a concubine sent by the supervisor Zheng Lin.

And that little concubine was given to Pei Sihai by the Patriarch of the Shen family. Naturally, the Shen family also sent another daughter to Sima Chuan.

This result is simply shocking: it turns out that the opponent has deliberately planned and deployed bureaus in Ping'an Prefecture and Shanhaiguan for several years.If it hadn't happened that Jia Daishan had an insider in Shen's family who should have received the news that the military pay sent to Ping'an Prefecture would be robbed, Jia Amnesty, in order to protect himself, pulled out a carrot and brought out the mud, and solved the case; allowing the other party to grasp the capital step by step The two major portals, the consequences are disastrous.

Naturally, Jia Daishan never arranged any spies in the Shen family. The steward of the Shen family named Zhao Wu was really a trusted confidant of the head of the Shen family. There is no proof of death, and Jia Amnesty dare not make up the story that he is Jia Daishan's spy.

After a thorough investigation, Pei Sihai still had a clear mind, and he didn't love the little concubine sent by the Shen family very much. Therefore, the little concubine had to put the things sent by Zheng Lin, the supervisor, and had to put them on the Zhuangzi.If so, Pei Sihai was almost implicated and his head fell to the ground.There is a knife on the head of Sezi.

At that time, singers, dancers, etc. were like objects, and it was a common thing to give them as gifts; naturally, it was also a common method to mix fine works among these women.If you are a shrewd official, just like Pei Sihai, you don't need to overdote on these women of origin, or you can send them out;

Although the cases in these two places are very involved, the Patriarch of the Shen family refused to reveal more after finding out here, saying that everything was his own idea and there was no mastermind.

Sima Chuan also denied any collusion with the enemy, only saying that the Baiju was a group of pirates, and he colluded with the pirates only for money.The imperial court knew that there was a group of bandits on the East China Sea.This group of pirates not only has seven or eight well-equipped pirate ships that are no less than the imperial warships, but also runs rampant on the sea, elusive, wandering outside the imperial court and the Japanese kingdom, and is a force that doesn't care.

Unable to bear the beating, Sima Chuan revealed a lot of news about the pirates, but he never said anything about the enemy country.

As for Zheng Lin, the supervisor who framed Pei Sihai, he had already died in a fire on the day the group returned to Beijing after investigating the case in Shanhaiguan.

Here, the three yamen divisions of the Ministry of Punishment will be interrogating, while at the other end, the guard division is also fighting Jia Amnesty and Li Zhuoqing's lawsuit.The head of Beidou presided over the trial, and Emperor Jing Huai attended the trial.

The two held on to each other's words for a long time, but Emperor Jinghuai who was listening only listened to one ear, and felt his mouth was dry, and he had already had a cup of tea.But Jia Amnesty and Li Zhuoqing knew that today's lawsuit was a matter of life and death, and they refused to give in to each other.

Moreover, both of them are smart people, they come and go, they are both offensive and defensive, and they see each other's tricks. They each dig countless language traps for each other, and each avoids each other's countless traps, and neither of them is left behind.

The two argued fiercely for a long time, and occasionally used their peripheral vision to look at Emperor Jinghuai's expression and judge Jinghuaidi's attitude.It's just that Emperor Jinghuai couldn't seem to appease his anger, and when the two of them were blushing, Emperor Jinghuai laughed and said: "I think both lovers are suitable to serve in Yushitai."

Jia She had no respect for imperial power, he didn't show it on the surface, but he slandered Emperor Jinghuai's bad taste several times in his heart, this guy just likes to listen to quarrels, it's on purpose!

Naturally, Li Zhuoqing accused Jia Amnesty of being the agent of the pirates, knowing the exact location of the shipwreck, but deliberately misleading the sailors, and after being exposed by himself, he became enraged and tried to kill people to silence him. Jia Amnesty broke his own wrist.

Jia Amnesty told the truth this time, saying that he was attacked by Li Zhuoqing just after he found the sunken ship, and he injured Li Zhuoqing's wrist because he was protecting himself.

Li Zhuoqing said angrily: "Jia Amnesty! You are spitting blood! If I hadn't discovered your treachery, how long would you have concealed the location of the sunken ship? You colluded with pirates, and when you saw that it was impossible to conceal the filth of the thief, you attempted to assassinate me. "

Li Zhuoqing admitted that he discovered Jia She's treacherous plot, but he did not deny that he attacked Jia She, no matter whether it was Emperor Jinghuai or the people from Beidou, which one didn't understand?

Hearing that Li Zhuoqing was so furious, Jia She smiled at Li Zhuoqing.Li Zhuoqing immediately realized that he had slipped his mouth, and now it was too late to change his words in front of Emperor Jinghuai and Beidou.

In fact, Jia She and Li Zhuoqing both concealed the truth, and neither of them was frank enough in their hearts. They went back and forth like this, crushing the details of that day's events upside down, and breaking up the debate. , all need very clear thinking and highly concentrated attention.If anyone is a little distracted, it is easy to slip up.

It is also for this reason that both ancient and later generations will try their best to consume the suspect's physical strength, make him exhausted, and interrogate him repeatedly.Needless to say, the ancient method of beating people up and then waking them up with cold water; even after torture is not allowed in future generations, high-wattage lamps are used to illuminate the suspect's face all the time to prevent him from falling asleep and his mind from getting a moment's rest way.It is all to make the brain of the person being interrogated tired, unable to maintain vigilance, and unintentionally tell the truth.

Both Jia She and Li Zhuoqing were not stupid, and they had their own preparations for today's lawsuit, even if Song An, who was well versed in interrogation techniques, would not be able to get the words out of their mouths for a while.However, after Jia She has practiced, not only his supernatural powers have been strengthened, but also his physical and mental strength has also increased accordingly; no matter how good Li Zhuoqing is in both civil and martial arts, he is just an ordinary person who has strengthened his body through martial arts. Naturally, he cannot compare with Jia She in terms of the durability of keeping his mind clear. .

It was also because of this that when Emperor Jinghuai was tired of listening, Li Zhuoqing finally missed a word.

Jia She touched his nose and asked with a smile, "So, Master Li admitted that he had a fight with me underwater?" .

Li Zhuoqing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

Jia She said with a smile: "Lord Li, how did I plot against you? At that time, I saw that the place where the shipwreck I remembered hadn't found any traces of the shipwreck. I wondered if the shipwreck had drifted forward for a while after I dug through the bottom of the ship, so I went all the way toward the shipwreck. I searched eastward. As soon as I found the sunken ship, I was ambushed by Mr. Li. I managed to get rid of Mr. Li's underwater pursuit and floated to the surface of the sea. There were seventeen or eight of Mr. Li's subordinates on the surface to intercept and raid the formation for him. Could it be that I surrounded Master Li and more than ten people by myself?"

Li Zhuoqing actually knew that the general situation was over, but last night, Emperor Jinghuai had interviewed him, thinking that Emperor Jinghuai still had some trust in him, so Li Zhuoqing was still making the last effort.Hearing Jia She's words, Li Zhuoqing didn't answer directly, but continued to ask Jia She: "Master Jia just needs to explain why you said that the shipwreck was west of the reef, and at the same time dived to the east of the reef as soon as you got out of the water. Good. If I remember wrongly, I always search west of the reef for a while, and expand the search area if I don’t find it, instead of going straight to the sunken ship after launching into the water, avoiding the eyes and ears of the navy.”

Jia Amnesty looked at Li Zhuoqing and asked: "That's right, Mr. Li went to Shanhaiguan ten days before me. When I arrived at Shanhaiguan, Mr. Li had been salvaging at sea for ten days and found nothing. Why did I just find the reef? In the case of diving under the water again, Master Li was able to catch up with me and attack me without any mistakes. Moreover, he left several sampans on the sea surface where the shipwreck was located, for fear that I would come up alive? Since Master Li admitted Attacked me at the bottom of the sea, and naturally saw the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea, why didn't you swim to Shanghai to report the news, but entangled with me underwater? The one who knows the exact location of the sunken ship is probably Mr. Li, and the one who is afraid that I will find the sunken ship is also Li. grown ups!"

Didn't you say that you were misled by me because you couldn't find the sunken ship? Then why didn't you report the news first after you found the sunken ship?In fact, Li Zhuoqing only slipped a word, but as long as a hole is torn in the impenetrable testimony, there is no room for redemption in front of an evenly matched opponent.

Li Zhuoqing glared at Jia She, and was about to refute when he saw Emperor Jing Huai look at the person sitting beside him who had not spoken all this time, with a questioning look in his eyes.

This person is Xu Yan, the Beidou spy.Xu Yan got up and said: "Go back to the emperor, when Jia Yuanwailang came out of the sea, he shouted that he had found the sunken ship. At that time, there were indeed several sampans on the surface of the sea. After Master Jia came out of the water, Master Li and Several sailors also surfaced one after another."

Li Zhuoqing's face was ashamed, but he regained his composure immediately, only to hear him shout: "Your Majesty, it is Jia She who colluded with the pirates! How many vicious pirates are there on the big ship Baiju? If the pirates didn't intend to let him go, With his own strength, how to return to the shore and return to Beijing to report the news.

Your Majesty, from the very beginning, it was Zhou Yu's treacherous plot to beat Huang Gai, in order to let Jia Amnesty infiltrate the court and plot wrongdoings. Please, Your Majesty, investigate clearly! "Actually, Li Zhuoqing's words were justified. If Jia She hadn't had a sailboat that had been placed in the space ahead of time that day, and had the wind ability to accelerate the sailboat, Jia She would never have come back alive.

Li Zhuoqing knew that Jia Amnesty's sailboat was a flaw, but he didn't dare to reveal it.Only the pirates saw Jia Amnesty coming back in a sailing boat at an abnormal speed, and Li Zhuoqing explained the matter, didn't it just prove that he had a connection with the pirates?

But Emperor Jinghuai seemed to have his own judgment, waved his hand, and ordered Li Zhuoqing to be thrown into Beidou's dungeon, but ordered Jia She to be sent back to the mansion.

Beidou was naturally ordered to do it. Emperor Jinghuai walked out of the Gongwei Division quite tiredly, and Xu Yan followed Emperor Jinghuai for a few steps.

After walking for a while, Emperor Jing Huai suddenly asked: "Xu Yan, why do you think I believe in Jia Amnesty instead of Li Zhuoqing?"

Xu Yan actually knew it well, but deliberately kept silent for a moment, as if he was thinking.

Sure enough, Emperor Jinghuai went on to say: "Because I interviewed Jia She and Li Zhuoqing respectively yesterday. Afterwards, Jia She didn't inquire about the news in the palace, but Li Zhuoqing was just the opposite. People with a guilty conscience can't hold their breath after all."

Xu Yan obviously knew this master very well, and he didn't flatter the emperor Shengming, but said: "I am taught."

The case involved a lot, and after the trial was concluded, not to mention the Shen family in Baoding, a large number of officers and soldiers in Ping'an Prefecture, Shanhaiguan and the navy were convicted.Although there was nothing wrong with Pei Sihai's management of the place, he also committed the crime of negligence for asking someone to stuff the fine work into the backyard, and was rewarded with a punishment.However, Emperor Jinghuai's sentence to Pei Sihai was nothing more than a minor punishment and a major punishment.After beating Pei Sihai's board, he was ordered to recuperate in the capital, and after recovering, he still returned to Ping'an Prefecture to serve as Jiedushi.

Pei Sihai is an ancient way of thinking, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. With such a result, he is naturally grateful to Emperor Jinghuai and becomes more loyal.

And Jia Amnesty, of course, made a great contribution.It's just that such a big case involved so many things that shocked Emperor Jing Huai.Not only the officials of the frontiers like Shanhaiguan General Soldier colluded with the pirates, but also the Pingan Prefecture Supervising Army framed the Jiedu Envoy. Naturally, Emperor Jinghuai had lingering fears and wanted to send an envoy to inspect various places.However, judging from Dai Quan's slightly revealed tone, it would be beneficial for Jia to amnesty if the court was busy for a while.

Jia Amnesty was not very interested in being promoted to rank, if the imperial court rewarded him with gold, silver, food and rice, perhaps Jia Amnesty would be happier.Of course, Jia Amnesty did not dare to tell Dai Quan this.In feudal dynasties, the power of the monarch is supreme, and you can't help yourself to pick and choose.

Naturally, the third division was busy with the follow-up matters of the case. Jia Amnesty came out of the Gongwei Division and went straight back to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.Originally, when Jia Amnesty was free, he should go back to Rongguo Mansion to take care of his expulsion from the clan, but this time he asked Aunt Li to save Mother Jia and Jia Zheng: because Aunt Li was about to give birth.

After expelling Jia She from the clan, Jia's mother was very conflicted.On the one hand, expelling the eldest son from the clan is not an honorable thing after all. Mother Jia loves face and feels it is very embarrassing;Unexpectedly, within a few days, Jia Amnesty was not only acquitted, but also got an errand to Shanhaiguan.

Since then, Jia's mother has been worried, for fear that Jia Amnesty will come back with some dignity, and she will no longer have a foothold in Rongguo Mansion.After Jia Amnesty went to Zhuangzi, Jia's mother often sent people to Zhuangzi to deliver some things, only for her grandson and Aunt Li. Until this day, Jia's mother got the news that Aunt Li was born.

Jia Amnesty heard that Aunt Li's mother and daughter were safe, although he was not happy as a father, but this is the original baby anyway, Jia She always wanted to show it, so he rewarded Aunt Li and Granny Wen again.

As soon as the nanny reported the newborn baby to Jia She, Jia She heard the housekeeper's wife report: "The old lady and the four aunts are here." The original four sisters were stolen by Jia She in Rongguo Mansion. I met them once when I was young. These girls from the Jia family were all raised in front of Jia's mother.Just like Yingchun and Tanchun in the original book, they were so confused by Jia's mother.

Not to mention Yingchun, not only is he a dude, but also timid and cowardly, he can't figure it out from the inside out.She is obviously the eldest daughter, but she goes to see Jia Mu and Jia Wang every day to pay her respects, but ignores her biological father Jia She and her aunt Mrs. Xing.Her move still didn't get attention, not to mention, even the nanny dared to bully her.Even Jia Tanchun, who is shrewd on the outside and confused on the inside, only knows how to please the Jia Wang family, and doesn't even recognize his own mother.

The Jia family and several concubine girls of the literary generation are raised in front of Jia's mother, how can they be better?At the beginning, it was all to please Jia's mother and not recognize her aunt.Before he crossed over, in order to please Jia's mother, the concubine sisters of the original body often praised Jia Zheng and trampled on the original body in front of Jia Daishan.Naturally, Jia Amnesty didn't like this group of people.
