The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Mother Jia choked, the lie being exposed on the spot felt like being slapped hard on the mouth, full of shame, it was difficult to face others.

There was a tense and depressing atmosphere in the room, and everyone lowered their breathing.

Jia Amnesty continued to complain as if she didn't know that Mother Jia was very embarrassed at this time.

"Besides, I can change my own place of residence if I want to. It's not in the way of others!"

Wang Xifeng's hands trembled slightly, she quickly clenched her fists and hid behind her back, lowering her head even deeper.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia's mother, then glanced at Wang Xifeng, and said kindly to Jia Amnesty, "It was my idea. I saw that the old lady loves her granddaughter-in-law, so I came up with this bad idea. If you want to blame me, don't blame the old lady." Get angry."

Jia She sneered, and looked sideways at Mrs. Wang: "When have I ever blamed the old lady? The old lady is kind and kind, and we all know that she loves the younger generation the most. Thinking about this matter with my toes today, I know that it was the old lady who wanted to protect the younger generation. Only someone can do this. The crux of the problem is, who knows that the old lady will take care of it, but still provokes trouble."

Jia Amnesty looked at Wang Xifeng unabashedly, his eyes were like knives, slashing at her.

Wang Xifeng wished she could lower her head and hand it over.

"You rascal, it's clear that you were the first to tear down the wall and make trouble for no reason, but instead questioned our faults. You are a man after all. Whatever you do to a little girl, if you have the ability to scold me as an old woman, it's all my idea. , I forced Miss Feng." Jia's mother was in a hurry, and she didn't choose what to say, no matter how many loopholes in her words, anyway, she was facing Wang Xifeng.

Jia She sneered and said, "If you had said that earlier, it would have been easy. Whenever you look down on me and want to reprimand me, you can scold me as you please. My son never complains. How can a mother be reasonable when she reprimands her son? The son has to be willing to suffer all the time."

After Jia Amnesty's words of "filial piety", it seems that Jia's mother is unreasonable and willful and harsh on the eldest son.

Mother Jia was furious, pointing at the tip of Jia Amnesty's nose, "Marquis Jia En, what is your intention! You are making fun of me for being biased and unreasonable? Are you forcing me?"

Jia Amnesty knelt down and kowtowed to Jia's mother, "What does the mother say, the son has no complaints."

"You—" Mother Jia rolled her eyes angrily, swayed, and almost fell over.Fortunately, Yuanyang and others took good care of them and supported Jiamu.

Mrs. Wang panicked, and after a cry of surprise, she hurried to help the old lady and advised her to go back and rest.Jia Mu pointed at Jia Amnesty, her chest rose and fell, and she was speechless.

Mrs. Wang looked back at Jia She, "Brother, you—"

"I understand, let's go now. Mother, please don't be angry. If you really don't like to see me, I will not come in the future." Jia She saluted and left conveniently.

Jiamu gasped heavily after being stimulated by these words, and then was helped into the inner room, where she slowly lay down on the couch, and then she drank half a cup of calming tea, and then she got better.

"What evil did you do in your last life to raise such a chaotic fool." Jia Mu wiped her tears angrily.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Xing, and sighed euphemistically: "I think he is dissatisfied with his own residence, which is why he is making such a fuss."

"Bah, that place is the best, it would be nice to keep it here, otherwise he would like to live anywhere else, I think the kennel is worthy of him." Mother Jia spat angrily.

Wang Xifeng knelt down to apologize to Jiamu, and slapped herself, "It's all my fault, I said something I shouldn't have said, and I caused this trouble for my ancestors for nothing."

Mother Jia called her to get up quickly, she took Wang Xifeng's hand, clapped the back of her hand and told her not to blame herself.

Wang Xifeng thanked Jia Mu with tears, but her heart sank.What happened this time was obviously caused by the Elder Master, and the reason was entirely on their side.In the end, because of a lie, they were not only unreasonable, but also humiliated.

Now everyone in the mansion knows that she provoked this incident first, and the old lady not only lost her dignity because of protecting her, but was also pissed off half to death.If there is anything going on between him and the old man in the future, she will definitely not have the guts to tell Mother Jia.As a junior, she should congratulate her for her filial piety. If today's incident happens a second time, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will leave an impression of being picky. Get an unfilial reputation on your head.

She shouldn't have come out on this matter, she was stupid.If she can't even appease her own in-laws, how can she convince the public.

After Wang Xifeng realized it at this moment, he suddenly recalled it.Mrs. Wang had been asking her to tell the old lady overtly and secretly before, did she not understand the reason, or was it on purpose?Wang Xifeng was startled suddenly, and cast a defensive glance at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang is consoling Jia Mu peacefully, showing her filial piety.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng's heart sank a little.

Coming out of Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng felt that she should apologize, so she went straight to Jia She's residence in a sedan chair.She found that at some point, the black painted door here was replaced with vermilion lacquer.

After getting off the sedan chair, Wang Xifeng asked the woman in the yard.

"The master said that black is unlucky, so he changed it to red."

Wang Xifeng didn't say anything, stepped into the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw that the east and north courtyard walls had been demolished.

Wang Xifeng: "Where is the eldest lady?"

"The eldest wife returned to her mother's house early in the morning, but the master has just returned, but he doesn't seem to be in a good mood." Dong Sun said.

Wang Xifeng knew that it was inappropriate for her to see her father-in-law alone at this moment, so she left and came back in the afternoon.

After a while, Wang Xifeng invited Jia Lian to come.

After seeing Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian apologized to Jia Amnesty for his daughter-in-law and kowtowed.

Jia She was lying on the couch, squinting his eyes and yawning lazily, "Your sweet-mouthed daughter-in-law is fooling you, telling you to be so obedient, and come to take the blame for her again."

"At the end of the day, it's my son's fault. My son owes me first." Jia Lian kowtowed again to apologize, slapped himself loudly, and scolded himself severely.

"You guys are so naive." Jia Amnesty sat up and sneered, "Look, no one in this mansion can beat me."

After hearing these two sentences, Jia Lian looked at his father in surprise, convinced by his undisguised remarks.

"Father, I really don't understand why you want to dismantle this beautiful courtyard into such a virtue?"

"Do it a favor for its future owner." Jia She said with a light smile.

Future master?

The more Jia Lian listened, the more confused he became.

Jia Amnesty was too lazy to talk to Jia Lian any more, so he sent him away. After sleeping for half an hour, he drove out of the house with the pig hair.Zhu Mao exchanged the money for two sets of beggar clothes, and the two of them smeared their faces, bowed their waists and leaned on a broken crutch, and went for a walk in the back street of the Song Mansion.

Beggars in the capital all have territories, and Jia She and Zhu Mao are newcomers, and they will definitely be excluded.So the two of them took five big paper-wrapped meat buns there, saying that they were lucky enough to meet a benevolent person to give them alms.The two wanted to hang out in this territory, so they used it to honor the beggars in the back streets of the Song Mansion.Sure enough, the beggars ate this set, and soon became warm with Jia Amnesty.During the conversation, Jia Amnesty learned that there was a beggar named Hei Zhu who had been on the street for ten years and knew many things about the Song Mansion.

Jia Amnesty brought six meat buns and a piece of chicken leg to the black pig, and made friends with him.

"My brother's nickname is Zhumao, and your name is Black Pig. We are destined to eat more."

The black pig glanced around. The beggars over there were full and had returned to the straw mats in the alley to bask in the sun.He held the steaming steamed bun that Jia She gave, but didn't put it in his mouth, and looked at Jia She and Zhu Mao coldly.

"Finally, who are you two? Don't tell me you are beggars. Look at your hands." The black pig grabbed Jia She's hand and wiped it with his sleeve. "Look, it's so tender that you can pinch water out of it." Come on, how can it be a beggar? Looking at the mark again, it is clearly the trace of wearing a ring."

Jia Amnesty gave Hei Zhu his hand in admiration. Since the other party was so smart, he didn't need to hide it, and directly stated his intention.

The black pig reached out.

Jia Amnesty thought he was asking for money, so he put a piece of silver in his palm.

"You treat me as a fool, how long can I live with this money? You give me food and clothing, and keep me fed for the rest of my life. I'll tell you what you want to know." Black Pig said.

"Do you know the cause of Master Song's wife's death?" Jia She asked.

The black pig sneered: "It's more than that, I know all about his hobbies."

"Okay, I'll take you away. If you don't mind, then follow me, be my servant, and do things for me."

The black pig sneered: "I can't bear to dislike it."

Jia Amnesty felt that this person was not simple, so after taking him into the car, he asked him about his life experience.It's a pity that when Tongzhou was plagued by locusts, they fled to the capital.When he was young, he heard people bragging, and thought that the capital was full of gold, but he didn't expect to find that it was more difficult to mix here, and there were beggars everywhere.Fortunately, he is a little clever, knows current affairs, and becomes a small leader in the beggar gang in the capital.However, because he is too kind-hearted and sympathetic to those begging children, he is often hungry and full.

"...I've had enough of this kind of life, and I want a change." Hei Zhu devoured the chicken legs, then turned to look at Jia She after changing clothes, "I didn't expect you to be quite handsome."

"Thank you for the compliment." Jia She said with a polite smile.

"Beforehand, I can follow you, but I will never sell myself into slavery. Before my father died, I promised him that no matter how hard life is, I will not become a slave. Otherwise, the future generations will be inferior people for life and life, and they will never be able to get out. It's over." The black pig said stubbornly.

Jia Amnesty nodded, somewhat understanding why the black pig was still a beggar after being around for ten years. It turned out that he had quite a backbone.

After returning to Rongfu, Jia Amnesty asked Zhu Mao to put the black pig in place, and then went to the study to grind ink.After a while, the newly washed black pig sat in front of Jia She, and talked about what he had seen and heard back then.

After Jia Amnesty heard about it, he picked out doubts and asked again: "Back then, the Song Mansion specially entertained you beggars to eat in the mansion because of the running water banquet for the wedding banquet. You heard with your own ears that her family's servants praised the bride 'Bing Ting is graceful, elegant and beautiful. step grace'?"

"Yes." The black pig nodded.

"Pin Ting is graceful, elegant and graceful... Did this word come from the mouth of his servant?" Jia She asked again.

The black pig said innocently: "Yes, it came out of their mouths, otherwise I wouldn't say such things."

Jia Amnesty stopped writing and sighed, "It's a little suspicious."

The black pig hurriedly added, "And they also said that the purpose of entertaining the poor and beggars at this running water mat is to accumulate virtue and blessings for the new wife. By the way, I still remember that three days before the news of the new wife's death, the Song family was still shaking the cart. A large number of trees, flowers and plants were brought in, and there were also many living animals such as rabbits, mandarin ducks, and cranes, which were said to be used for the new lady to re-arrange the garden. Tell me, is it any wonder? That woman was alive and kicking three days ago. How could this person die of illness so quickly after setting up a garden?"

"It's a bit strange." Jia Amnesty wrote down the original words according to what Heizhu said.

In the next few days, Jia She discovered that this black pig had many powerful features, for example, he was the leader of the beggar gang, and he had been wandering in the streets and alleys of the capital for ten years. Well, there are not only beggars, many ordinary people and shopkeepers know him, they will give him some food from time to time, and gossip with him.

The black pig has been wandering around the capital for so long, and is running around in the streets and alleys, so he naturally heard more rumors than ordinary people.Jia Amnesty then asked him to talk more about the more credible rumors in the capital recently, especially about the misbehavior of officials and the like.

As expected, the black pig knew a lot, and with one mouthful, he drank eight pots of tea all day long.

Jia Amnesty selected six that sounded the most reliable, and with the assistance of Heizhu, he sent people to find the contacts related to the incident.In three of them, direct witnesses were found, or there were victims and people directly related to the victims who could confirm.The first two cases are the issue of official corruption and taking power. One is the inspector of the fifth rank in the capital. Relying on some power, he threatens traders to hand over protection fees.The other is the county magistrate of Puliu County, ten miles away from Beijing. In order to seize the money from the rich man Zhang's family in this county, he forcibly married his only daughter as a concubine, and forced the rich man Zhang and his wife to death.The last one is the injustice case in Gyeonggi Prefecture. The case has been delayed for a year and a half. The one who was wronged was a farmer grazing cattle. , whose testimony has never been accepted.Now the farmer who herds cattle has been sentenced to death and will be executed after autumn.

These three things have evidence to prove that there is another inside story. As for right and wrong, it is actually clear at a glance.But Jia Amnesty does not make subjective judgments, he will objectively write the words of the interviewees anonymously, and let everyone judge for themselves after reading.

Originally, the purpose of investigating these matters was to cover up his report on the deformity of Rongfu.Now that the investigation is over, Jia Amnesty feels that his own matter is not suitable for being mixed up in some corruption and power-taking cases.But what should be fought for is still to be fought for. With status, words can have weight, and he will be able to take on more things in the future.

Jia Amnesty considered it carefully, and in the first issue, he described Jia Amnesty's bastard from the perspective of Rongfu's servant, and put it at the end of the magazine as a chat after dinner.In the second issue, we will comprehensively and objectively explain the current situation of Jiamu, Dafang and Erfang in Rongfu.In this way, it will not only have the effect of suppressing first and then raising the counterattack, but also avoid being seen by smart people, which is safer.

But he himself would definitely appear abrupt, so Jia She thought about Song Xi's incident and decided to include him in it.
