The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Jia She looked at the child, and indeed he looked a little like Song Xi.From a glance, his temperament is also calm and stable, and he is more mature than his peers.

Song Chunxiao was also looking at Jia She. When he was saluting properly, he would secretly glance at Jia She with curious eyes from time to time, but it was not obvious.With a very calm face, he even wrote two lines of poems to greet him.

Jia Amnesty didn't understand it, so he simply didn't delve into the meaning.

The fifteenth prince, Mu Ruiguo, was particularly enthusiastic about Chunxiao. When he saw him, he took him by the arm and wanted to take him outside to play.

Song Chunxiao didn't move, but looked at Song Xi calmly.After Song Xi nodded, he was willing to follow Mu Rui.But it was also Mu Ruiguo bouncing up and down in front, and Song Chun walking steadily behind.She looked like an old nanny who was sent to see her children.

Song Xi watched the two children go out before explaining to Jia She: "His name is Lu, and his baby name is Chunxiao. We are used to calling him by his baby name on weekdays, so you should follow suit. He is the fifth son of my second brother's concubine, and his biological mother." She was a servant girl who died prematurely when she gave birth to him. When I married Zhanghouqianjin, my mother asked me to choose one of my brothers' sons to adopt. I fell in love with him and brought him back."

Concubine, the fifth son.

Jia She knew early on that the Song family was flourishing and had many descendants from the direct lineage.Seven or eight years ago, Song Xi was already a person of great status. In the future, when he gets older, he is likely to be awarded a title based on his ability.So Song Xi's adoptive son will definitely be the heir in the future, and according to common sense, he should be chosen from among the descendants of the descendant, but he chose Song Chunxiao, who was descended from the concubine.

Of course, Jia She felt that he was a good choice, because he would not hurt the feelings of his elder brother and sister-in-law, and he was easy to cultivate.

After all, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was an environment in which prostitutes were valued over concubines. Song Xi's choice would definitely attract criticism and confusion from many people, but Song Xi still insisted.

From his firmness to not wanting to marry a wife, to his son's adoption, Song Xi behaved in everything. Jia She felt that he did not look like an ancient person.Even in modern times with a lot of civilization, there will be many people who, under the pressure of their parents to marry, will just let it go and give up their persistence.And in feudal society, there can be Song Xi who is unconventional and sticks to his own way. Jia She feels that the probability of meeting such a person should be lower than that of encountering ghosts in broad daylight.

"Are you dissatisfied with Chunxiao?" Song Xi couldn't help asking when he saw that Jia She was in a daze after looking at his son.

Jia She shook his head, "No, he's a pretty good kid, and he looks good, kind of like you."

Song Xi smiled: "Many people say that."

"But why haven't I heard that you have a child?" Jia She asked puzzled.

"I didn't deliberately publicize it. I just told this kid to study in the mansion with peace of mind. I wanted to wait until he was older before considering taking him out to socialize. Maybe it's also due to the fact that the servants in my mansion don't talk too much." Song Xi turned to look at Jia She seriously. , "So there are no spies for you in my mansion?"

"You reminded me so much, try to arrange one as soon as possible later."

Song Xi: "Why bother, just ask me if you have anything to say, I will tell you everything."

"I happen to have something to ask you. King Qi, do you know?" Jia Amnesty got to the point.

Song Xi nodded, and glanced at Jia Amnesty warily, "I played with him since we were young. Why, what did he do to provoke you?"

"I heard that King Qi is inhumane." After Jia Amnesty said this, he observed Song Xi's expression very carefully the whole time.

Song Xi's eyes were frankly surprised, and the corners of his mouth were raised, "I said that there will always be some surprises or surprises when you are with you. It's new that King Qi is inhumane."

Jia Amnesty was slightly disappointed, it seemed that Song Xi really didn't know.It's reasonable to ignore it, but if it were him, he wouldn't reveal such a private matter.

"Tell me about his temperament."

"Honest and honest, don't put on airs, a little dull, not good at talking." Song Xi simply concluded.

Jia Amnesty took notes one by one in a small notebook.

"From what you've said, King Qi seems to be a pretty good person." But this was completely different from what he'd done.

"Temperature looks mild, but it doesn't mean good character." Song Xi asked Jia She to check casually, and tell him if he needs help.

Song Xi turned to look at the pen used by Jia She, and said with a smile: "So this is what you use it for. You don't need to dip it in ink, and you can write down whatever you want. It's not bad."

"Either, I made a lot of roots, and I will ask someone to bring them to you later?"

"No, I have one, I got it from Mo Yunxuan."

As soon as Jia Amnesty heard it, he understood that Song Xi had investigated himself and found Mo Yunxuan.He gave him the thumbs up.

"Don't admire them, if they don't even have this ability, what's the use of raising them." When mentioning this matter, Song Xi remembered the time when he was annoyed when he first read "Secrets of Neighbors".At that time, he probably never imagined that one day he would get to know the author to such an extent.

After Jia Amnesty finished writing, there was nothing else to do, and he got up and left first after collecting the notebook.

Song Xi didn't keep him either, and let him go.

Apart from the Song Mansion, Jia Amnesty went straight to the neighbor's house, and listened to Fang Zhenglu's statistics on the total number of pre-sold books so far.

"As of today, a total of 830 books have been sold." Fang Zheng said.

Jia Amnesty immediately said, "Four thousand 160 taels."

"Yes, counting the three sold pictures, the total income is 390 taels."

"Print nine hundred copies." Jia She said decisively.

Fangzheng Lu tried to figure it out, and then said to Jia She: "Paper and ink, manpower, carriages and horses... all costs are calculated together, and the cost is about 230 taels."

Heizhu was very pleasantly surprised, "Master is really amazing, who would have thought that this issue of the book would make a net profit of 150 taels of silver. According to this calculation, with one book at the beginning of January, the income for the whole year is not more than 5 to [-] taels. "

"Not only that, but also the book store's profit." Fang Zhenglu laughed.

"That's nice." The black pig grinned from ear to ear, as if the money could go into his pocket.

"Don't forget, the cost of deploying spies and collecting clues is not included in the cost. This aspect should be a big one. You can give me a clearer account later." Jia Amnesty said rightly.

"Almost forgot about this!" Fang Zhenglu patted his forehead and immediately agreed.

Fang Zhenglu then told Jia Amnesty the general situation he had calculated.

There are 600 officials above the eighth grade in the capital, and counting some princes and grandsons, there will be nearly 200 more.Among these officials and dignitaries, nearly 500 people came to buy books, and the rest were wealthy businessmen and a small number of officials outside Beijing.Among them, Huangshang Xia's family had the most pre-ordered books. They bought [-] copies in one go, saying they would give them away.

Hei Zhu also conducted an investigation, and many of his schoolchildren had publicly stated that the gift they most wanted to receive right now was the fourth issue of "Secret Stories Next Door".

"Huang Shang Xia's family?" Jia Amnesty felt a little familiar.

Zhu Mao hurriedly explained: "The sweet-scented osmanthus bureaus in and outside the city belong to their family, and all the potted plants in the palace belong to their family."

"I remembered what you said. I just heard it a few days ago." Jia She sneered, and told Fang Zhenglu and others not to have too much contact with this Xia family. Just buy books and don't talk about other relationships. Mother and daughter are not easy to mess with.

Fang Zhenglu immediately agreed.He still has the impression of the boy who came to buy books from the Xia family, with his nostrils upturned, his speech extremely arrogant, and he didn't understand basic manners.If the servants are like this, one can know what will happen to the masters of their family.The master is really crazy, they really can't have any contact with this Xia family, I just ask them to only buy books and not cause trouble.

……

Four days later, on May [-]th, the fourth issue of "Secret Stories Next Door" was released.

Early in the morning, there were many servants queuing up at the door of the neighbor's house. They were waiting to get the books quickly, and then sent them to the hands of their masters.Of course, there are also owners who are impatient because they can't sit still at home, so they simply drive over and wait in the car.As long as my servant gets the book, he can enjoy it directly.

At Chenzheng, Wanfu, the shopkeeper of Neighborhood Xuan, led the servants to remove the door panels.

In order to avoid a stampede, there were already three servants outside the Neighborhood Pavilion before the door opened, urging everyone to line up.

There are five young men behind the long counter who are responsible for distributing books.There are two options for picking up books, one is self-declaration, and after checking, sign and draw a deposit before picking up the book.The other is to rely on the note, which is to choose a note with a unique pattern stamp at the beginning of the reservation, and then directly redeem the book with the note, but if the note is lost, it cannot be exchanged.These two methods, the first one is insurance, and the second one is fast redemption, they are all chosen according to everyone's preferences.

The Xia family steward Lu Laosan rushed to the front of the line, shouting to get the thirty copies of "Secrets of the Neighbors" ordered by the Xia family.The boy told him to queue up, Lu Laosan was not angry, but it provoked accusations from other queuers.Lu Laosan had no choice but to hold back his anger and go to line up honestly.

It was easy to get him in the queue, so Lu Laosan urged the clerks in the neighbor's shop to get the books quickly.

Wanfu asked him for a note.

"I lost the note, give me the book quickly, my wife and young lady are still waiting to read it!"

"If you don't have a note, you can't give me a book." Wanfu said.

"Why! You don't know who I am? I, Mr. Lu, bought thirty books from you for our master. Don't you remember me? Why are you making such a fuss? Give me the book!" Lu Laosan shouted.

Fang Zhenglu immediately came over and asked Mr. Lu to talk to him.Lu Laosan grabbed the counter and refused to leave, calling for someone to give him a book quickly.The people in the queue behind got up.

Fangzhenglu couldn't help it, so he had to ask someone to take Lu Laosan out directly.

"Since you chose to redeem the book by receipt, you must have a slip to redeem it. This is the same as taking a bank note to the bank to pay the money. The rules are the rules. If you lose the slip, someone else will pick it up later. We don’t know how to exchange the note, so we still have to give the book. Therefore, I can’t give you the book for the time being, so I hope Haihan!” Fang Zhenglu said, and asked someone to send Lu Laosan away.

Unconvinced, Lu Laosan called them unreasonable.

Fangzheng Road asked someone to push him to the back alley quickly, don't make trouble here.

The book was distributed very quickly, and it took only a cup of tea to distribute it.Wanfu checked the accounts, and there were more than [-] families who hadn't come to pick up the books, and there were [-] books from the Xia family.

"If the rest of the book is finished and the account can be reconciled, then I will send the thirty books to the Xia family." Fang Zhenglu sighed.

The neighbor's restaurant was already full of people, and the private rooms upstairs were also full.Young scholars come to read books together in groups of threes and threes, and there are also scholars who cannot afford books.

We read from the first case of Wang Ziteng.

Someone suddenly sighed: "Hey, I know about this. It seems that Gyeonggi Prefecture arrested people a few days ago. My uncle is an official in Gyeonggi Prefecture and told me about it."

"It seems to be because of some homicide. But since the government has already arrested the person, what's the point of writing this book." Someone threw the book and sighed that it was meaningless, and the money was wasted.

"I'm so disgusted!" The green-robed man who had been reading a book in the corner suddenly got up angrily, and threw away the book, attracting everyone's attention.

The man pointed to the book, "This Prince Teng actually tortured and killed 38 innocent girls in five years. His methods... are so disgusting!"

After the man finished speaking, he bent down to pick up the book and continued to read.

Everyone read the words quickly, never expecting that the content was written in such detail this time, from the news of omens, to the confessions of the relevant people, and the opening of the eyes of the person involved, Wang Shengjing.Everyone was not only deeply attracted by the content of the book, but also began to sigh, and gradually became angry.

At this time, suddenly a handsome young man with a long sword stood up, it was Liu Xianglian.

Filled with righteous indignation, Liu Xianglian said to everyone: "Which of you just said that it is necessary to prejudge? I think this is more just for the author. Only by taking away the evidence and reporting to the government can we deal with people like Wang Ziteng. Think about it." If you write this matter in the book in advance and don't report it to the officials, and when the book comes out, Wang Ziteng destroys the corpses and wipes out the traces and bites back, then the government may not be able to find the bodies of those innocent girls as evidence."

"Yeah, what do you know, who said that this book must predict some cases. Look at Wang Shengjing's confession, it's pitiful, hateful and shameful! Wang Ziteng is even more shameful and disgusting!" Someone continued.

Everyone agreed after hearing this, and they were shocked by Wang Ziteng's evil deeds and cursed one after another.

Someone asked the man whose relative was an official in Gyeonggi Province, "Has Wang Ziteng pleaded guilty so far?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know. My relative is not too young, but he doesn't know anything about it. He only knew that there was a dead body in the mansion, so he arrested him."

"What are you asking? The author has already written it. Wang Ziteng categorically denies it, and his wife Li is still busy raising money for him!"

"Oh my god, this Mrs. Li wants to help her husband after knowing about it? Shameless, helping the evildoer!"

"You say that Wang Shengjing's statement is written as if he had heard it with his own ears. Could it be that the author is from Gyeonggi Prefecture, otherwise how could he have such a thorough understanding of this case?" Liu Xianglian asked with interest.

"He also wrote clearly about the case of Dali Temple later on, so you said he is also an official of Dali Temple?"

Liu Xianglian couldn't answer, and was devastated.

The crowd laughed.

"Didn't you see that there are so many spies written in this book? It's obvious that the spies got the news. Our mysterious author not only went to the court, but also went to the three religions. He is really powerful. Maybe there is him in this room." Installed spies!"

"That's right, the owner of this book shop is the author!"

Everyone immediately looked at Wanfu.

Wanfu laughed and said: "If you think our boss is, I don't mind, I'm quite happy."

"You are so beautiful! Just your boss? I know too well, it can't be him." Liu Xianglian sighed with a sneer.

After Neighbor Xuan started selling "Secrets of Neighborhood", everyone gradually knew that the identity of the behind-the-scenes boss of Neighbor Xuan was Jia She, the elder of Rongfu.Now, some insiders outside have made it clear that Jia Amnesty had some contacts with the author because of Xing Zhong's case, but he has never met the author himself, and only passed on the word through an intermediary.

The reason why this bookstore sells "Secrets of Neighbors" is just that Mr. She is grateful for the author's help in the past, and repays him in return.This is the same as those shops in the north of the city. It is said that the owners of those shops are also in contact with the writers of the books next door.

Everyone began to discuss the identity of the author of the book. Some people said that based on the third phase of Jin Wang's rebellion, which was predicted by his predecessors, the author is not a human being, and it may be some kind of god who descended to earth.Everyone laughed again. In short, since the first issue, everyone has guessed the identity of the author in various ways. They guessed again and again and found it wrong, but in the end there was no result.Nowadays, most people choose to accept that the author is a mysterious man with many friends, spies, and all-hands.

"It's all wrong, I haven't finished reading the things in this book." Liu Xianglian said.

The green-robed man said: "What happened to Wang Ziteng is serious enough for everyone to talk about for several days. I still feel angry now! Someone in the Wang family should be warm-hearted and keep an eye on that Mrs. Li. She must never be allowed to raise money for his husband." Asking for help everywhere, a person like Wang Ziteng deserves to die, and it is not an exaggeration to cut him into pieces."

……

Besides, Lu Laosan, after going back to Xia Mansion to report to his wife, he was scolded and wanted to bring a group of people with sticks to find trouble in Neighborhood Xuan.Halfway on the way, he heard from other boys that Neighbor's House was opened by the elder of the Rong Mansion, and was taken care of by people from Gyeonggi Province.Almost peed his pants in fright, turned his head and retreated.Afterwards, the youngest Lu didn't dare to pretend to be an uncle anymore, and made an apology to Fang Zhenglu with a mournful face.He was so bitter that he begged Fang Zhenglu, could he give him a book and take it back to show to his wife, so that he would not be scolded again.

Fang Zhenglu smiled, and ordered thirty books to be bundled up and handed to Lu Laosan. "Now all the other notes have been redeemed, only yours is left, so you don't have to worry about someone claiming it. We don't default, we will give what is due."

The youngest Lu was overwhelmed with surprise when he saw the loss and found it again. He thanked him again and again, and hurriedly left with a book.

……

Afterwards, Jia Amnesty heard about this and asked Fang Zhenglu if he knew how Lu Laosan lost the note.

Fang Zhenglu shook his head.

It's fine if the note is destroyed.If Lu Laosan just forgot where he was, if he found the note later, and waited for the fifth issue to find a strange face to redeem the book, I'm afraid it would be troublesome.

"Ask Li Xia to engrave another chapter, and don't use this chapter again." Jia Amnesty ordered.

Fang Zhenglu agreed.

Jia Amnesty then ordered the black pig to find more people from the Xia Mansion to find out more information.

Fang Zhenglu couldn't help wondering: "Isn't it just a matter of a few notes, why is the master so cautious about the Xia family?"

"Are you stupid? It has nothing to do with the note. The master is investigating the mother and daughter of the Xia family."

"Now there is only a mother and daughter left in this Xia family. Even if they are more powerful, what can we find out if they are women." Fang Zhenglu sighed.

Jia She held his chin and raised his eyes to look at Fangzheng Road: "Last night, I just confirmed a rumor about the death of the master of the Xia family. It is said that when the master died, his lips and fingers were purple and black."

"Could it be poisoning?" Fang Zhenglu asked in amazement.

"It's hard to say too much, the evidence is not enough, and we need to investigate again." Jia She told Fang Zhenglu not to worry about this matter, but to take care of the affairs of the neighbor's house first, and help him investigate the issues after the fourth issue of the book was issued. Opinions and reactions from the parties.

Fang Zhenglu promised, only saying that the response from outside is very good now, "However, there are indeed some people who are suspicious of the identity of the scholar, and some people are talking about the neighbor's house and Rongfu, and some people even guessed the master's identity. identity."

"All kinds of suspicions, true and false are mixed together, but it is not easy to distinguish the truth. Don't be afraid of this matter, as long as you keep your mouth shut, no matter how accurate they say, it will be a guess without evidence after all."

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, regarding the last article in the book that lied about using violence to control violence and obeying the government's investigation, he needed to find some storytellers to help publicize it.After all, those who like to hit people with all kinds of things are mostly illiterate ordinary people. If those who can read and read the article, they can finish reading it. They just choose interesting things in the book to promote, and ordinary people still don’t know anything. Know.Jia She felt that it was necessary to take this time to make it clear to everyone that a whirlpool of public opinion must be formed, and one spread to ten, so that most of the people could understand the principle of not casually criticizing and meddling in government cases, and at the same time know how to use violence to control Violent methods can easily intensify problems and wrong good people.

After sending someone to arrange all this, Jia Amnesty was ready to go home and have a good rest.After dinner, someone from Jia Zhengyuan came to report that Jia Zheng had taken sick leave today and was not going to work in the Ministry of Industry for the time being.And Mrs. Wang also hid in the Buddhist hall, crying since noon until now and never came out, and planned to eat and live in the Buddhist hall in the future.

Jia Amnesty asked why, but he knew that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang didn't heed his warning, and took the initiative to get involved in Wang Ziteng's affairs.

It was because Li Shi had no news about Wang Ziteng after he was detained by the Yamen, and he also found out that Gyeonggi Prefecture had no intention of trialing Wang Ziteng, so he decided that there was room for improvement.

Mrs. Li started to move around busy, begging for all relatives and friends including her family, she also paid a lot of gifts and spent a lot of money.These people heard her cry that Wang Ziteng was only troubled by her cruel stepson, and they were all willing to help.

Mrs. Wang, because she was still worried about Wang Ziteng's side, sent someone to ask about Li's situation after her death.Mrs. Li was filled with anger when she thought of the Rong Mansion, but because she thought that Mrs. Wang's husband, Jia Zheng, might still be a useful person, she held back her temper and asked Mrs. Wang to make up for her mistakes and help her.

Mrs. Wang heard that Mrs. Li said that her brother was wronged, so she decided that Jia Amnesty had instigated her, and she chose to trust Mrs. Li unswervingly.She has always hoped that Prince Teng will be well, and will become her reliance in her natal family as before, and of course she will try her best to rescue him.Jia Zheng had expressed a lot of kindness to Wang Ziteng in the past, and once Mrs. Wang explained the reason clearly to him, there was no reason for Jia Zheng not to help, and everyone who could ask for this matter asked for it.

Li also spent money to beg a jailer to send a message to Wang Ziteng, asking him to bear it for the time being.Therefore, until the eve of the announcement of the neighbor's secret, Wang Ziteng still gritted his teeth, refused to admit anything, and still insisted that Wang Shengjing did everything.

However, when the fourth issue of "Secrets of Neighbors" was released, based on the description of the actual circumstances of the crime in the book and Wang Shengjing's confession, everyone was very convinced that Wang Ziteng was not wronged and was the mastermind behind the scenes.The world's insults against Wang Ziteng kept coming and going, and almost everyone condemned with the same hatred.

Those officials and dignitaries entrusted by Li Shi to help intercede, after seeing the contents of the neighbor's secret, all closed their doors and never saw Li Shi again.Some people were even annoyed by Mrs. Li's deceit, and sent their servants to beat them out with sticks.Li Shi had no choice but to ask her natal family, but instead, her natal brother slapped her and called her stupid and crazy.Mrs. Li didn't do it, and went to beg someone, but was directly locked in the woodshed by his elder brother, and she was not allowed to go out like this again to embarrass herself.

Jia Zheng didn't know the truth until now, and regretted it too late.He had gained a reputation of being a "prudish" before, but now he actually ran around begging for help for an extremely cruel brother-in-law, and now even he was crowned as a cruel person with the same stink and who might have the same hobbies.So much so that his colleagues shunned him and refused to say a word to him.

Jia Zheng was so sullen that he came back with his book at noon, threw the book on Mrs. Wang, and blamed all his faults on Mrs. Wang's meddling.Mrs. Wang never expected that her elder brother, whom she always thought was upright and awe-inspiring, would be such a cruel person.So he washed his face with tears and hid in the Buddhist hall, ashamed and afraid to go out.

The next day, when Jia Zheng heard that Mrs. Wang was still in the Buddhist hall, he just sneered and showed no sympathy for her.Jia Zheng knew that his downfall was all because of the embarrassment of Wang and her elder brother.Now he can only pray that the limelight will pass sooner and that he will not be mentioned again, otherwise he may not have the life to be an official anymore and will resign at home.

At the entrance of the Buddhist hall, Jia Zheng scolded Mrs. Wang a few more words, then snorted coldly, and then went to Aunt Zhao for comfort with his hands behind his back.

Wang Xifeng heard that Mrs. Wang was not in good condition, so she came to visit her specially. By chance, she happened to meet this scene, and stood awkwardly at the gate of the courtyard, not knowing whether to leave or stay.Wang Xifeng thought for a while, Mrs. Wang must be in a mess crying at this moment, he has always been a face-saving person, it would not be good for him to go now, so he turned back.

However, along the way, Wang Xifeng also mourned and wept.After all, she is the daughter of the Wang family, and now that Prince Teng has caused such a big scandal, she will eventually be ashamed.After thinking about it, my mother's family has no confidence in it, and it would be embarrassing to say it!She can only live well in Rong Mansion, take good care of the whole family, get a clever name, and earn some money by herself, so she can barely live a decent life.

Wang Xifeng then vowed secretly in her heart that from now on, she must be [-] points smarter than before, and she must do everything well, so as to win the respect of her ancestors and father-in-law.

After returning to the courtyard, before Wang Xifeng could open her mouth, a woman came to report: "Second Master Lian was called away by the Eldest Master, and asked Second Mistress to go too."

Wang Xifeng: "Do you know what happened?"

The old lady shook her head.

Wang Xifeng straightened her hair and clothes, put on a dignified look, and arrived at Rongxi Hall.Before entering the door, she deliberately pricked her ears to listen, and it was very quiet inside, and she couldn't hear anything.Then he entered the door with a smile, but saw Jia Lian kneeling on the ground obediently, without saying a word.And Jia Amnesty, who was in the first place, was blowing tea indifferently.

Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something must be wrong, without saying a word, she immediately knelt down beside Jia Lian and greeted Jia Amnesty.

Jia Lian stared at her with red eyes, with a strong sense of blame.Wang Xifeng was startled, and just as she was about to speak, she heard Jia She, who was in front of her, say, "You can search now."Hearing the mothers-in-law's promise, they left in a hurry.

After about half a cup of tea, a mahogany box was carried over.When Wang Xifeng looked at the box, his face immediately turned pale with fright.

The box was originally locked, but the mother-in-law smashed it with an ax and opened it.There are piles of deeds in which she put usury, and underneath are some silver that has not been released yet.

Wang Xifeng was so frightened that she shed tears immediately, and kowtowed to Jia Amnesty to explain.

"There is no need to make any excuses." After Jia She said that, he asked Dong Sun to prepare the pen and ink, and Jia Lian to write the letter of divorce, "Feng girl, he is more or less responsible for your current situation. I have already trained him severely before you came." There was a pause. But in this matter, the biggest fault in the end is still on you, and it is not too much for me to ask Lian'er to divorce you."

Jia She's words shook Wang Xifeng's soul away.She held her mouth and kept crying, because she knew that the master didn't like women crying loudly, so she didn't dare to make a sound, kowtowed vigorously, and apologized with a hoarse voice, vowing that she would never dare to do such bad things covered by lard in the future.

Jia She sneered twice.

Wang Xifeng didn't dare to stop, and tried her best to pretend, "My daughter-in-law will take good care of her husband and children in the future, and she will be filial to the eldest family with all her heart, and she will never have another heart. I married the second master, and my surname is Jia, not Wang. , From now on, I will be reborn. Master, let’s take a look, how about giving my daughter-in-law a chance? If there is anything wrong with me in the future, don’t need to tell the master, I will cut myself with scissors first!”

Jia Lian had never seen Wang Xifeng crying and frightened like this, but seeing her eyes soften, she couldn't help but soften her heart.Then he followed Wang Xifeng and kowtowed, begging for Jia's pardon.

Jia She squinted at Jia Lian: "If you plead for her today, don't regret it in the future. If one day she fails you again, it is your choice. You are not allowed to say anything about what happened today. To forgive is to forgive, from now on Don't mention it again."

"But this matter..." Jia Lian was puzzled, it was Wang Xifeng who was at fault for the loan sharks.

Jia She sneered: "Everything has a cause and an effect. Do you think she is willing to take such risks for no reason? From the day you marry her in, you should be a man, stand upright, love him from the bottom of your heart, and be good." Lived with her. But look at what you've been doing all day, either molesting the maids in the west, or sleeping with widows in the east. You are so unreliable, how dare your daughter-in-law dare to settle down to live with you. As Husband, you should take good care of her and be more aggressive. If you had loved your daughter-in-law more sincerely before, she might not be where she is today."

Jia Lian nodded. He glanced at Wang Xifeng who was looking astonished at the moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally kowtowed to Jia Amnesty. "My son is willing to protect her!"

Wang Xifeng moved her eyes from Jia Amnesty to Jia Lian with tears in her eyes, and couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears.

Jia She waved his hand and asked the mother-in-law to quickly get the couple away.This cry is really disturbing.

Wang Xifeng still refused, and kowtowed to Jia She three times before she got up and was led away by Jia Lian.

The second room is quiet.

Wang Xifeng was silent.

After watching the fourth issue of "Secret Stories Next Door", Mother Jia also fell silent.

In this way, the Rong Mansion fell into an unusually strange calm.

……

Three days later, Wang Ziteng was extremely desperate when he heard the news that his back was cut off, but he did not plead guilty until his death.His loyal servant Lu Changqing finally confessed everything he knew about Wang Ziteng because he couldn't bear the accusations of everyone and the persuasion and persecution from his family and relatives.

At the beginning of the chaos in Hedong, Wang Ziteng was the commander in chief, and the civilians were in chaos.After suppressing the mob, Lu Changqing accompanied the prince to the stockade on the mountain.The leader of the mob actually has twelve beautiful concubines in the village.In order to beg Wang Ziteng to spare their lives, these twelve women take off their clothes and serve Wang Ziteng together.The hero is sad about the beauty pass, not to mention that Wang Ziteng was young and vigorous at that time, and he would often leave home to patrol and defend soon after he got married, so he was naturally panicked.

Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment of carpe diem, a woman stabbed Wang Ziteng's lifeblood with a short knife she took from nowhere.Frightened and furious, Wang Ziteng killed all the women.Although the stab was missed, Wang Ziteng's life was saved, but since then, Lu Changqing has noticed that Wang Ziteng's attitude towards women has changed, and even after returning home, he is extremely indifferent to the wife he is marrying.

After a while, Lu Changqing felt that Wang Ziteng had become normal.Because when he usually talks and laughs at Yan Yan, he treats people as usual.Unexpectedly, one day, he seemed to be unable to bear it for some reason, and suddenly went to a brothel, picked a girl he liked, tortured, beat and scolded her severely, but it was not fatal.After that, every once in a while, Wang Ziteng would vent like this, and every time he only took Lu Changqing there, and no one else knew about it.

In the end, Lu Changqing once went hunting with him in the mountains, and came across a peasant girl bathing in the wild by a mountain spring.Wang Ziteng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he brutalized people...and finally caused him to suffocate to death.When this happened, ten years had passed since the Hedong Rebellion.

Lu Changqing's testimony once again corroborated Wang Shengjing's words. The testimony of two witnesses, coupled with the verification of the relevant content of the testimony, directly confirmed Wang Ziteng's charges.

Wang Ziteng still refused to admit it.

In a panic, Liu Zhizhong pointed to Wang Ziteng's nose and told him that the government had decided to have a public trial tomorrow and sentenced him to death amidst the people's abuse.

However, the next day, when Liu Zhizhong was about to sit in court to try the case on behalf of Song Xi, the Yamen messenger suddenly reported that Wang Ziteng had died in prison.

Liu Zhizhong quickly sent people to inform Song Xi, while he led people to protect the scene, not daring to move.

Seeing that Prince Teng's lips had turned black, Song Xi sent him for an autopsy, and it turned out that the cause of his death was indeed poisoning.

"How could it be poisoning? Who poisoned him?"

Jia Amnesty knew very well that Wang Ziteng was a secret guard, because he was a serious prisoner, and no outsiders could visit him. The only people who contacted him were people in the prison.Since poisoning and killing people, it must have been premeditated.Why would someone kill someone who was supposed to be sentenced to death?This is so suspicious.

"I don't know." Song Xi glanced at Jia She, his eyes were dark and gloomy.

……

Yangzhou, Lin Mansion.

At sunset and dusk, the housekeeper Lin Chu greeted Lin Ruhai to get off the car, and hurriedly presented a letter.

Lin Ruhai is very familiar with the words "Father, Your Honor".

"Who sent it?" Lin Ruhai accepted the letter excitedly.

Lin Chu replied truthfully: "Two young men wearing rough cloth shirts on horseback knocked on the door of Lin's mansion and said, 'Is this the family of Mrs. Lin Ruhailin who left his daughter in the capital regardless of him'?" The letter is gone."
