The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber

Uncle Sun?

Jia Amnesty doesn't remember any grandpas from the Sun family that he had befriended.In the past, there was one, that is, Sun Xinyang who murdered his wife, and now he has been executed, so it cannot be him.

Jia Amnesty asked who else.

Mrs. Yin quickly replied: "It's the son of Chief Qian of the former North Gate of the former city. Their old man used to be the servant of the Ministry of War and had a good relationship with the Rong Mansion. These years have been getting worse day by day. Mr. Sun is sick. After three years, after all, he drove west of Hebei, and the only one left in the Sun family, Uncle Sun, was struggling to survive. I'm afraid he came here this time to ask for help."

Hearing what Mrs. Yin said, Jia She immediately dug it out from the memory of the deity. It turned out that this uncle Sun was referring to Shaozu, the grandson of Zhongshan wolf.

Coincidentally, Jia Amnesty just learned some latest news about the Sun family a few days ago.

A few years ago, the Sun family was just like the Rong family, their children and grandchildren were incompetent, but they refused to get rid of the problem of arranging and wasting, and still spent a lot of money to eat their money.As a result, the family has gradually declined and life is unsustainable, but he is still a skinny horse. Now, although Master Sun died of illness for three years, he spent a lot of money.But there are still some meager ancestral properties left, and there are still hundreds of acres of land that can be rented.There are also several servants around Sun Shaozu, and two beautiful maids wait on him attentively.The Sun family only needs to save a little to get by, and they can still be considered rich compared with ordinary families.

Sun Shaozu is thirteen years old, the same age as Xing Ming.

Xing Ming is a sensible person, he is devoted to protecting his sister and wants to learn crafts and work.

But Sun Shaozu is a jerk, he hangs out with the maids in the mansion before Rexiao comes out.

Jia Amnesty learned about this scandal through the news network, and it is still recorded in the booklet written by Fang Zhenglu.

Jia Amnesty saw it not long ago, but at that time he just took a look at it and didn't go into it. When doing news, you always have to focus on the big and let go of the small, and make a choice.Many households have such small unruly incidents as Sun Shaozu's. Jia She felt that the news report was not very warning, so he didn't spend manpower and material resources on it.Besides, Sun Shaozu didn't provoke him at the time, but seeing that he was still a child, he would inevitably make mistakes, and he couldn't deny the present based on the future.Jia Amnesty knows how powerful public opinion is, and he can't just cling to him just because of his future setting in the original book.But Jia She doesn't want to get involved with such a person, anyway, he promises not to let Yingchun marry this person in the future.Who knows, now this guy has actually come to the door.

How could Jia Amnesty see such a person, so he was sent away immediately.

Autumn is getting cooler, and today there is a strong wind.

Sun Shaozu was wearing thin clothes and was shivering from the cold, but instead of leaving, he squatted at the gate of Rongfu and waited pitifully.Just when Jia Zheng came over, seeing him so pitiful and the son of a family friend, he naturally wanted to pity the poor and the weak, and there was no reason to ignore him.

Jia Zheng just wanted to find Jia Amnesty, so he led him in.

Jia Amnesty saw a young man in plain clothes beside Jia Zheng, and the young man still had his head down, looking honest and pitiful.Jia Amnesty couldn't help sneering and wondering whether Sun Shaozu had such a pitiful and weak appearance when he was hanging out with the maids.

Sun Shaozu had long known that Jia She was now promoted to a first-rank official, so he saluted Jia She very respectfully, with an honest and pitiful look on his face.When Jia Zheng asked why he came here, Sun Shaozu immediately begged Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng brothers with tears in his eyes to help him leave Beijing and return to his hometown to settle down.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't see you today, but since you have been brought here, it's okay for me to tell you directly. Every family has a few poor relatives, and if they all take money for nothing, I'm afraid If you don't make it to the day you come, you will be divided up. And between our two houses, there is only the little relationship between our ancestors, which is nothing. But if you have no money to eat and are hungry, I can still help you I'm busy, and I'll ask my husband to teach you how to read. But other than that, I can't do anything."

"Brother, it doesn't matter if we give him a few taels of silver." Jia Zheng said weakly. He looked at the poor boy and wanted to give him some money.After all, the Sun family and the Jia family had a very good relationship in the past, and this child can be regarded as he watched him grow up.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng amusedly, "Are you rich?"

Jia Zheng immediately shut his mouth, ashamed to speak again.The second room still owed Gongzhong 13 taels of silver, and coupled with the misunderstanding caused by Yuan Chun's marriage, Jia Zheng really didn't dare to contradict Jia She at this moment.

Seeing that Sun Shaozu didn't leave and didn't make a sound, Jia She just stood there awkwardly with his head down, not knowing what his expression was or what he was thinking.

Jia Amnesty asked Dong Sun to ask Wang Xifeng if there was any shortage of people in the family, so he asked him to find a cheap and easy job to do.

When Sun Shaozu heard that Jia Amnesty didn't just reprimand him, he meant it seriously.Embarrassed, he came here to ask the Jia family for help, not to lose face and be ordered to be a slave.Besides, no matter how good the Zhuangzi of Jia's family is, if you go to work there, you can get no more than one tael of silver a month at most.It's not enough for his expenses, let alone he has to leave Beijing immediately, and wants to enjoy three years in his hometown 'Ding You'.A few taels of silver is not enough for him to spend.

Sun Shaozu realized that Jia Amnesty really didn't miss the old friendship and wanted to drive him away, so he felt ashamed and angry, and bowed his hands to Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty. "Although my grandson, Shaozu, is in a poor family, he is also a man full of ambition. If the two uncles are unwilling to help, just say it, why bother to humiliate me like this. That's all, I won't stalk me, and then Go ask someone else."

Hearing his 'ambition' remarks, Jia She could not allow him to be arrogant, "You are thirteen, and you are going to be a grown-up in an ordinary poor family. With the current situation of your family, you are allowed to be delicate? You have hands and feet, and you are reluctant to use your own hands to make money. You want to open your mouth and shut up, and take other people’s money for nothing. This is your ambition? What is humiliation, let you live like a moth for free, Isn't it humiliating? Then you are in the wrong place, our Jia family does not respect your idea now. Even my own son, I will not raise him for nothing."

Sun Shaozu's face was pale and uncertain after being told, but he really wanted to vent his anger before leaving.However, he couldn't offend Jia She's status, so with a pale face unwillingly, he saluted Jia She reluctantly before leaving.

Jia Amnesty immediately asked someone to notify the porter, and he was not allowed to come in again.

After hearing these words, Jia Zheng felt a little ashamed for some reason.Then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Jia Lian for several days.So he pretended to be calm and asked Jia Amnesty, "What is Lian'er doing these days?"

"I don't know, I'll let him figure it out on his own, and ask the result after a year."

Jia Amnesty has never cared about Jia Lian from the time he traveled far away until now.A child of that age has already been determined. If he doesn't live up to it, it's useless for Jia Amnesty to watch him die.Let him toss about it and see the result.After this opportunity is given, if it still doesn't work, Jia She will really punish him.

Seeing that Jia Zheng was still sitting there in embarrassment, Jia Amnesty asked him, "What are you doing here?"

Jia Zheng shook his head, stood up in embarrassment, bowed to Jia Amnesty, and said a lot of words of apology.

Jia Amnesty: "I'm sorry now, don't wait any longer? I just asked someone to send King Qi away. If he can protect himself later, he will definitely give me a copy, or secretly make me come back. Lost an official, by that time you will still be the most up-to-date man in the family."

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, staring at Jia Amnesty but unable to react.

After a while, he asked, "Did Prince Qi come just now?"

Jia She smiled and blinked his eyes.

"But what's written in "Secrets of My Neighbor" has nothing to do with elder brother, could it be..." Jia Zheng looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.

Jia Amnesty also looked back at Jia Zheng.

"Is it the elder brother who told the scandal about King Qi to the neighboring family?" Jia Zheng was astonished.He felt that if King Qi didn't mention this matter, the emperor would not punish him too harshly. After all, he was from the royal family, and the old King Qi had military merits.Concubine Rong's relationship with the Queen Mother is also hard.

Big brother is so courageous, even the king of Qi dares to offend him!

Seeing Jia Zheng's surprised expression, Jia Amnesty smiled faintly.

People all over the capital thought that he and the author of the book did not know each other and were related.It is reasonable to speculate that Jia Zheng had this idea.But just for a moment, Jia Amnesty thought that Jia Zheng would be smarter and saw through his identity.It seems that he overestimated, Jia Zheng always underestimated him.

"It's more than that. It was thanks to him that I was able to change places with your second wife." Jia Amnesty said deliberately.

Jia Zheng was horrified and terrified, and looked at Jia She in disbelief, "Could it be that you let the neighbors tell you about the disorder in Rongfu?"

"You can understand it that way." Jia Amnesty agreed frankly, and then asked Jia Zheng if he still wanted to apologize to himself at this moment.

Jia Zheng grabbed the armrest of the chair in shock, his fingertips turned white, his whole face was a bit ferocious, and he was about to burst into tears.

"I didn't expect my elder brother to be such a scheming villain." Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Conspiracy? The dove occupied the magpie's nest and was taken back by the magpie. The dove still said that the magpie was conspiring. Oh, it's ridiculous. You ask yourself, what are you doing right? If you think it makes sense, why did you ask me to move over and over again? , I didn't force you."

"You forced us with the neighbor's secrets, isn't that considered forcing?" Jia Zheng said angrily.

"Which sentence in the book is not true, if you are all doing the right thing, what are you afraid of?" Jia Amnesty asked back.

Jia Zheng's face flushed red, his panting gradually became louder, his chest filled with anger, he turned and walked away.

Jia Amnesty sneered twice, and he knew that Jia Zheng's apology did not come from sincere remorse.If it's true, Jia Amnesty doesn't want to embarrass him.However, after a little testing, Jia Zheng was disappointing.After all, Jia Zheng's previous apology was just an expedient move that he had to bow his head because of his high position and power.

Dong Sun came in after waiting for a while, and said to Jia She: "The second master seems to be going to the old lady's side."

"Not surprising."

Now that Jia Zheng is at home on vacation, there is no weight in what he can say, and the only thing he can find now is Mother Jia.Little did he know that after the Yuanchun incident broke out, his weight in Jiamu's eyes had already been greatly reduced. If he went to make trouble and file a complaint now, it would only add to Jiamu's troubles, increase his nickname, and finally make Jiamu hate him. That's all.

How Jia Zheng looked down on the calculating big house in the past, now it will be imposed on him, and he is back.

After watching "Secrets of My Neighbor", Jia's mother was grateful for Yuanchun's incident, and then gradually reflected on it, and became angry because of the ugly appearance of the second couple.She didn't sweep the second room in front of everyone, but complained to the two children Yuanyang and Glass in the room, scolding the second couple as inhuman.

The mandarin duck and the glass kept consoling her, and Fang felt better. Yuan Chun came to see Jiamu again.When Mother Jia saw the child's thin face and swollen eyes like peaches, she couldn't help feeling distressed again, secretly angry with Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang again in her heart.

Now she had just finished fooling Yuan Chun and sent her back to rest, and she was almost done, when she heard that Jia Zheng was coming.

Jia's mother thought that Jia Zheng came here to sincerely apologize for Yuanchun's choice of concubine, but she didn't expect that he would sue Jia amnesty angrily as soon as he entered the door.

"Mother, do you know that my eldest brother has contact with the neighbor's secret news? The second issue of the book said that the matter of our Rongfu was written by the elder brother instigating the writers, so that he could move into Rongxi Hall. "

Mother Jia looked at Jia Zheng and took a deep breath helplessly, "You came here today to tell me this?"

"I just heard it from my elder brother with my own ears. I was extremely angry. Mother, why aren't you a little bit surprised? Could it be that you knew about it a long time ago?" Jia Zheng asked in surprise.

Jia's mother stared at Jia Zheng: "What do you think of your mother? I can't see through this matter after being the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion for so many years. Since I knew that the boss had something to do with the neighbor's secret, I more or less guessed that the matter of Rongxi Hall was very likely to be related to him. I didn't delve into this matter, because it was still my fault of partiality. I just thought about it. Xin, your second room is also reasonable and took the initiative to wake up and beg for concessions, but you want to expose these things today. Think about your elder brother's status now, and you still have the face to ask Rong Xitang back?"

Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and remained silent for a while, still not convinced.

"Mother, brother, he is planning to deceive us. It doesn't matter if Rongxitang's son can't live, but this matter cannot be tolerated."

Jia Zheng didn't understand, where was the old lady's temper when she wanted to send Jia to be amnesty to the official for the crime of unfilial piety!

"What do you want? Do you want me to use this as evidence to go to the government office to sue him! You tell me, what to sue. Do you know who the writer of the secret story next door is? If your elder brother slips and denies it, you Is there any evidence to prove that he conspired against you? If someone said that he just chatted with friends casually, how would you deal with it? And the whole thing itself is a disorder of seniority, and your second wife occupied Rongxi hall for nothing. This family should not be publicized , your elder brother is a high-ranking member, so if such ambiguous things go outside, who will lose face? It will only show that I am mean as a mother, and when I am old, do you want me to be late? " Jia In a fit of anger, the mother said a lot with angry eyes and teeth.

Jia Zheng saw that Jia's mother was angry, and it was useless to say anything.He hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake, kowtowed embarrassingly, and didn't speak again.The old lady is now facing the eldest brother because of the high status of the eldest brother.And wait a few days, when the eldest brother is retaliated and demoted for offending King Qi, it will not be too late for him to reason about the matter carefully.

Jia's mother looked at Jia She's seemingly honest but unconvinced look, and she felt even more angry.When did the second child and the second daughter-in-law become so utilitarian? It would be nice to live a life of duty like before.

Now Jia's mother thought of Jia Zheng's officials again and asked him if he would still do it.After all, it is a gift from a sage. It is too negligent to say that you are sick at home all the time, and it is really inappropriate.

Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Tomorrow I will report to the Ministry of Officials."

Jia Zheng reckoned that King Qi's affairs were already in full swing, and everyone turned their attention away. His affairs must have been forgotten, and it was a good time to return to the Ministry of Industry at this time.

Thinking about his "fake prudence" reputation, Jia Zheng still felt aggrieved, and couldn't help but blame Jia Amnesty for causing all this.

Mother Jia took a sip of tea, her tone calmed down, and she said to Jia Zheng, "Don't provoke your elder brother. You brothers should be kind and help each other. You said you were having trouble with him, what are you doing?" What's the benefit? You should use your brain at the right time."

Jia Zheng agreed with a straight face, but he didn't think so in his heart.He is a gentleman, and his elder brother is a villain who plays tricks and schemes.A gentleman should keep his integrity, swear to die, and never succumb to a villain.

Jia Mu gave birth to Jia Zheng for so many years.With Jia Zheng's expression, she could almost guess what he was thinking.Now I tried to persuade him with good words, but he was still so rigid that he didn't know his mistakes, so he was so angry that he sent him away quickly.

Seeing the people leave, Jia's mother patted her thigh and sighed: "My second child, it is true to say that he is a stone in the latrine, which is smelly and hard."

……

Jia Zheng failed to sue, but was scolded instead, and he felt uncomfortable after all.

On the way back, he happened to see Ping'er, Jia Lian's housemaid, and asked about Jia Lian's situation.Ping'er hurriedly informed them one by one carefully.

It turned out that since Jia Lian was reprimanded by Jia She last time for not earning a penny of his own, he has been busy earning money every day so that he can compete with Jia She.Guan Zhuangzi, opening a shop, as long as he can increase his income on the basis of previous years' profits, Jia Amnesty will be considered his ability.Jia Amnesty also promised to lend him some money and let him find his own way, but the money must be paid back within two years, otherwise the business will fail if it doesn't even come back.All profit-making conditions must not break the law, and cannot oppress and detain tenants and servants in Zhuangzi's shop.

Now Jia Lian is holding back his breath and doing his best, even writing to ask Lin Ruhai for help, planning to get some jade wares to sell in Beijing, and he plans to sell them to the dudes he frequents around.

When Jia Zheng heard what had happened, he felt that Jia Lian was indeed better than before.In the past, Jia Lian was quick at housekeeping, but after all, it was just to please the elders, fooling around with the work, and didn't really think about how to work hard.Now it's time to work hard, and it's time to dig out some tricks.

Jia Zheng felt that Jia Amnesty's trick was also useful, and he used dim sum to manage his son.

However, Jia Lian didn't live up to expectations after all. He was so big that he was determined.If you can't rely on your studies to become an official, you won't be very successful if you only rely on the housekeeper to manage the shop. After all, you will be a fool who cannot be supported.

Because Jia Zheng thought of his clever son Baoyu, he turned around and went to Baoyu's room, wanting to see what the boy was doing at this time.Jia Zheng deliberately didn't let the maid at the gate make a sound, but the maid became nervous instead, shrinking her neck and sullenly.Jia Zheng sensed that something was wrong, and immediately heard the girls' laughter coming from the room.He felt that there was something wrong, so he stepped into the door immediately, and saw Baoyu was blindfolded by a cloth, playing hide-and-seek with the maids.Seeing that it was Jia Zheng, all the maids stopped laughing immediately, and nervously wanted to salute, but Jia Zheng raised his hand to stop him.

Baoyu was still laughing and groping, asking where Xiren and others had gone.

The maids were all very nervous, lined up, standing obediently on one side, with their heads down.

"Eh? Why are you silent? I see. You have quietly discussed not to speak, so you think I won't be able to catch you." Baoyu laughed, reasoning and grabbing back and forth, and finally caught Seeing the attacker, he accidentally grabbed it on the chest.The attacker turned sideways quickly, grabbed Baoyu's arm with both hands, and whispered to him that the master was coming.

At the same time, Jia Zheng also let out a furious roar: "Young bastard, see if I don't beat you to death today!"

When Jia Zheng shouted, his face was red and his veins were protruding, which showed that he was in a rage.

He immediately asked someone to pass on the family law.

Seeing this, Xiren expected that the second master would never spare Baoyu lightly this time, for fear that Baoyu would suffer from severe beatings.She winked hurriedly, and sent the little maid in the courtyard to write a letter to Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang.

Jia's mother lived very close to Baoyu, and when she heard this, she brought people here immediately.At this moment Baoyu has been pressed on the horizontal stool, and Jia Zheng is about to have his trousers stripped off.

Seeing this, Jia's mother trembled with anger, and scolded Jia Zheng for not being able to bear it, so she went to Baoyu to spread his anger.Jia Zheng hastily explained to himself: "My son is messing around with the maid because of this bastard..."

"Don't talk about it! He's only a little kid, and it's nothing to be fooled around. In your eyes, it's a big deal. When you were his age, you ran into the muddy pond with your bare feet and rolled around. What can I say about you, the old man can punish you! If you have a serious problem, you can go to the family law, are you willing to let us girls force you away!" Jia Mu said, and she hugged Baoyu and began to cry.

Jia Zheng was annoyed that the timing of his anger was wrong, so he quickly apologized to Jia Mu.

How could Jiamu look at him and send him to get out of here, and then coaxed Baoyu to love him wholeheartedly.

Jia Zheng didn't expect to come here for a stroll this time, but was scolded by Jia She and the old lady and went back in disgrace, full of anger and nowhere to vent.As a younger brother and son, he was already angry and desperate enough.As a father, thinking about the scene where his son was hanging out among a group of girls just now, his face hurts even more.He still despised Jia Lian for being worthless, just Baoyu, a bastard, might not be as good as Jia Lian in the future.

Jia Zheng suddenly realized that he was inferior to Jia She in everything.Once upon a time, he was the most honorable man in Rong Mansion.So the more I thought about it, the more I became angry, and I almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

After Mrs. Wang heard the news, she hurried to visit Baoyu. After learning what had happened from Jia's mother, she repeatedly apologized for Jia Zheng's mistakes.Because Jia Mu was so angry, even Mrs. Wang scolded her, blaming her for eating fast and reciting Buddha all day long, but she didn't know how to take care of her husband.

Mrs. Wang was in a daze when she heard the words.Once upon a time, Mother Jia also said such words, but not to herself, but to the late Xing family.Now the big family and the second room in the family are completely reversed, and the old lady is more and more partial to the big room and doesn't put the second room in her eyes.Mrs. Wang was extremely wronged, but she had no choice but to obediently agree and made a promise to Jia Mu.In fact, Jia Zheng is such a stubborn and old-fashioned person, how can she, a woman, be able to control her, besides, the relationship between their husband and wife is not as good as it used to be.

……

At dusk, Song Xi's entourage, Hengshu, came to Rongfu to deliver a message.

"The Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of quarrels. Several princes and county kings who had a good relationship with King Qi even petitioned for mercy. Prime Minister Wu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and other ministers were all petitioning the emperor to severely punish King Qi. , complained by ordinary people. My master is naturally on the side of Prime Minister Wu. The queen mother at the other end of the harem has been making trouble. The emperor quarreled with these people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony during the day. Hearing that the queen mother fainted, he went to see the queen mother again. .”

When Jia She heard this, he regretted not going to the palace today after listening to Song Xi's words.Of course he knew that Song Xi had good intentions, and the matter of King Qi would inevitably be a struggle in the court.He is here, if he loses his temper in a moment and reveals too much, he will definitely attract suspicion and be hated by others.But at this moment, watching the fire from the other side at home really made him feel anxious, fearing that things would not be under control, the emperor changed his mind on a temporary basis and spared the king of Qi.

"Is there something wrong with the queen mother?" Jia Amnesty worried that if the queen mother took a tough attitude on this matter, the emperor might not be able to change it.

"It's nothing serious. After the imperial doctor saw it, he said that he was frightened, so he helped him to rest in the bedroom. Concubine Rong is very powerful, so she knelt in the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Hall and cried loudly, hitting her head on the ground. Called. The queen mother was also dizzy because of this disturbance." Hengshu explained.

"If that's the case, that's fine." Jia She was relieved after hearing this.The Empress Dowager probably wasn't really dizzy, probably because she couldn't stand Concubine Rong being too noisy, so she deliberately pretended to be sick.

Concubine Rong was probably too impatient about King Qi's affairs, and she couldn't control it for a while, and she went too far.I'm afraid that it has already annoyed the empress dowager, so it would be easier, as long as the empress dowager does not persecute the emperor who values ​​filial piety too much, concubine Rong, mother and son will not be able to escape punishment.

Emperor Baobuqi was annoyed that Concubine Rong forced the Queen Mother to faint, and he would be even stricter on the matter of King Qi.

Jia Zheng already understood Song Xi's purpose for asking Hengshu to send a message to him.The intention is to tell him that it is basically certain that the emperor will deal with King Qi.It's just how to deal with it, and the degree of treatment may still be debated endlessly.

As soon as Hengshu left, Liu Zhizhong from Gyeonggi Province sent a government official to inform him.Thanks to the book "Secrets of the Neighborhood", the mother and daughter of the Xia family were shocked for a moment, and they confessed to the murder.The servants of the Xia family who were present at the time and heard this with their own ears, all testified as witnesses.The mother and daughter of the Xia family couldn't stand the intimidation either. They confessed to poisoning Master Xia and signed the testimony.

"Our lord also asked the subordinates to tell the lord that the reason why the Xia family's mother and daughter murdered Master Xia was all because Master Xia raised an outer room outside, and the outer room gave birth to a son, which made Master Xia ecstatic, and he had a son." The meaning of bringing their mother and son home. The mother and daughter of the Xia family were worried that their status would be threatened, so they refused to agree. In a hurry, Xia's mother pretended to tell Master Xia to stop his wife and remarry. Divorcing his wife on the grounds of jealousy. The mother and daughter were startled by these words, so they secretly discussed in private and poisoned Master Xia to death." Yachai explained.

Jia She nodded.

The Yacha shook his head and sighed, "Now that the Xia family's mother and daughter are in jail, all the Xia family's huge wealth will belong to the Xia family. The mother and son who were raised by Master Xia in the outer room did not recognize them, so they have no right to inherit after all."

Jia Amnesty: "It should be dealt with like this."

"There are still people taking advantage of the chaos in the Xia Mansion to steal for cheap. Fortunately, our Master Song has the foresight and ordered his subordinates to monitor in time. We really caught a servant who stole the property of the master, Lu Laosan." The servant laughed.

Jia She rewarded him with money for drinking tea, and then sent him away.

These recent cases are all related to men and women. Jia Amnesty plans to publish another issue dedicated to women's marital status.Then there is A Furong, this matter must be mentioned in "Da Zhou Chao Wen".

When the sub-directors in the south made a clear investigation and passed the news, he summarized and compared all the data, published it in "Great Zhou Dynasty News", and distributed it to the whole country.

It is impossible to prevent everyone from taking drugs, but it is possible to make most people aware of the dangers of drugs.This thing is a poison, and it is not worthy of being sought after by nobles and popularized everywhere.It is necessary for all the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty to form a concept in their minds when they mentioned Afurong, "Once you become addicted, you will definitely die."

In fact, the addiction to opium can be quit, but in ancient times when the medical conditions were backward, Jia Amnesty did not intend to explain this point in detail, just let everyone know that this thing is as poisonous as poison and should not be touched.

Jia Amnesty also felt that descriptions and some data alone might not be enough to impress people, and it would be better to get some comparison pictures.Comparing the appearance of a person before and after smoking, the symptoms are different.Then you can come up with a comparison picture of using mice to do experiments.

The picture this time cannot be freehand, it is best to be realistic, like a sketch.

This requires finding a western painter and engraver.

Now there are several Western clocks in Rong Mansion, and there are many Western missionaries in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It should not be difficult to find one who can paint.Jia Amnesty asked Zhu Mao to start this matter, and it must be done as soon as possible.

……

Night falls.

Jia Lian came back from the world, and came here to pardon Jia.

Jia She looked at him and looked at him thinner. The originally handsome white face turned into a slightly heroic wheat complexion. He was full of energy and looked a bit manly.Moreover, because Jia Lian has been busy running around in the past few months, his work efficiency has gradually improved, his walking and actions are like wind, and his speech is more crisp and neat than before, and his whole person has grown a bit more dignified.

"These days my son has been eating and lodging in Zhuangzi. He seldom goes back home. He doesn't often come to pay his respects to his father. Please forgive him." Jia Lian kowtowed, then got up and presented a book, "Now the autumn harvest is over. This is the account of Zhuangzi's harvest everywhere."

Jia Lian then took out another account, "This is the account of the shop under the name of Rongfu. Zhuangzi's harvest is no different from that of previous years. Father can just take a look. These shops have been taken care of by the son. Since March, every shop The average profit of the company is dozens of taels more than the best month in the past."

"So the management of this property really depends on whether you put your heart into it." After Jia Amnesty took the account book, he only opened the shop's book to look through it, and then asked Jia Lian how he sent a letter to Lin Ruhai to buy jade.

Jia Lian: "My son has sent three stewards, and with Uncle Lin's help, it should go well. When Uncle Lin goes to Beijing, he will come back by boat even with goods and people. My son is also a little nervous at the moment. Counting the days, we should be able to arrive at the end of this month at the earliest. No matter how late it is, we should come to Beijing before the river freezes over."

Jia She smiled, "Wait and see how your batch of jades will sell. If you can get back the original capital and earn a little more, you are considered capable. I will consider it in the next year and ask Mr. Song to recommend you Get a real job in Taoshen Music Square or other places. But you must remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, or your father the censor will be the first to use his book to accuse you!"

When Jia Lian heard that he finally had hope of becoming an official, his eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement.He just waited for the day when he could feel proud, and when he went home to see Wang Xifeng, his eyes would grow on his head.Seeing that he is promising, the woman will definitely try to please him with all kinds of sweet words.

Jia Lian was very happy when he thought of this, and felt that he was very promising.After coming out of Rongxi Hall, he went back and told Wang Xifeng that there was still room for him to be an official.Wang Xifeng was really happy to hear that, grabbed Jia Lian's arm, and praised her husband for his promise.

It's been a long time since Jia Lian heard Wang Xifeng call her husband softly, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't stop laughing.

Day two.

Jia Amnesty went to the Yushitai as usual and heard a lot of rumors about King Qi.To this day, Concubine Rong and King Qi are still in the palace.Concubine Rong was fine as an old lady, but King Qi said that she was sick, and even worked several princes from the imperial hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Jia Amnesty was curious about this matter, so he went to the room of Qinzhong Road, the planning censor Zhongcheng, to ask.If Yu Shitai said that his attitude towards him has been consistent from the beginning, which is not bad, it belongs to Qin Zhonglu.

When Qin Zhonglu saw Jia Amnesty looking for him in person, he was terrified and hurried over to salute.Now that he has suddenly been promoted from his subordinate to his superior, Qin Zhonglu will inevitably sigh in his heart.

At first he felt that Jia She was lucky to be favored by Mr. Song; later Jia She defeated the Dayang barbarians with a few words, and made Qin Zhonglu truly realize that he was blind.At the beginning, he was confused and thought clearly, how could it be possible for someone who could be attracted by the extraordinary talent Mr. Song to be an ordinary and simple dude.

If you want to blame, blame yourself for being stupid, if you want to blame, blame yourself for being stupid.

Fortunately, he is kind and reserved, and he didn't offend Jia She with his nonsense, otherwise he must be the same as everyone else in Yushitai, and he will not be seen by Jia She.

After Qin Zhonglu poured tea for Jia Amnesty himself, Fang sat down at Jia Amnesty's instruction. "My lord suddenly came to find the next official today..."

"I heard that King Qi is ill, but do you know what it is?" Jia Amnesty asked.

Qin Zhonglu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "It must be some kind of strange disease. I heard some rumors this morning that after King Qi entered the palace yesterday, his body was not quite right, and he was sweating all over his body. He hadn't entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony yet. He went crazy, even being detained by the guards, struggled endlessly, refused to recognize his relatives, and shouted for medicine and medicine. Later, he called the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but after all, he did not find out what was wrong, but King Qi suddenly became weak and knelt down On the ground, he would catch anyone he saw and call for him to take medicine. The imperial doctor couldn't help it, so he got some nourishing medicine for him, but after he took it, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately went crazy again, begging and shouting everywhere like before. Medicine. Now people outside are rumoring that he may have some kind of evil disease, Concubine Rong is going to ask eminent monks and Taoist priests to exorcise him."

"Oh, exorcism." Jia She sneered.

Jia Amnesty thanked Qin Zhonglu, and asked someone to invite Wei Qingdong, the foreman of the Ministry of Punishment.Then Jia Amnesty was alone in the room with Liu Xianglian and Wei Qingdong.Let Wei Qingdong talk about the drug, and after Liu Xianglian summed it up into a document, Jia Amnesty copied it in his own hand, and took Wei Qingdong to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to have an audience.

After reading the memorial, the emperor listened to Wei Qingdong's explanation, and asked Jia She in amazement: "Before you reported to King Qi, you specifically wrote that there was drug in the formula of the pill, so that was what you meant. That is to say, King Qi is suddenly weak and going mad, not because of evil spirits, but because of his addiction to this smell."

Jia Amnesty then asked the emperor if he could interrogate King Qi's servants.The emperor shook his head, saying that the boy didn't take the initiative to say anything.

"There should be an attendant who knows about it. The emperor will let someone know after the first trial."

The emperor immediately asked someone to ask, and in turn got the report. The entourage around King Qi confessed that King Qi did have the habit of taking medicine, but he had never seen King Qi in such a regular state.

"That's because when the prince was already feeling uncomfortable, he took medicine on time and the symptoms didn't show up. Your majesty, just ask Wei Qingdong to check the current situation of Prince Qi to be sure. And here is a pill from Zhu Erwang for Qi. The medicine prepared by the prince. As long as Prince Qi takes this pill, his symptoms will definitely improve. But soon, if there is no medicine, he will still be as mad as he is now, weak and vulnerable."

The emperor immediately sent an order to drive, and took Jia Amnesty and Wei Qingdong to meet King Qi.Before arriving, the emperor specially asked someone to invite Concubine Rong to leave, so as not to have another headache seeing her.

When the three of them entered the room, King Qi was lying on the couch dying, his eyes were slack, his face was haggard, and he was still yelling for him to take medicine.

After Wei Qingdong took his pulse, he looked into King Qi's eyes and nodded to the emperor.

Then Jia Amnesty handed over the box, and there were also people from the imperial hospital present. The imperial doctors came to see the pills one after another, asked about the prescription, and then got Wei Qingdong's explanation.Among them, Gao Boming, the general manager of the Taiyuan Hospital, knew about Furong, and he could tell a few words about its efficacy, and he also knew that this substance has the effect of causing people to become addicted.

"Among the nobles in the south, smoking this thing is still popular. I heard that after using this thing, I feel comfortable all over my body, and I will want to use it again. I don't know how
