The first paparazzi in the Red Chamber
Chapter 95 Chapter 1 Paparazzi
Zhu Mao took Master Chang for a half-hour ride in the carriage, and saw that although he was sweating guiltyly, but he refused to admit it, he knew that he was a tough and stubborn ghost.
The master had specifically instructed him not to torture Chang to extract a confession.The master also said that if Master Chang still refuses to admit it, he must cut off the contact between Master Chang and Zhang Youyun, so as not to startle the snake.
Zhu Mao had no choice but to order Master Chang to be taken to a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing for custody.
After that, Zhu Mao held back his anger and replied, seeing that his master's attitude was still indifferent, his anger subsided a little.
After Song Xi learned of this, he naturally believed in Jia Amnesty's judgment, and had no doubt that Zhang Youyun was cheating money to become his son-in-law, "It's not easy to let the master of the Chang family tell the truth, as long as you are willing to hand him over to me."
Jia Amnesty immediately understood the meaning of Song Xi's words, "Extorting a confession by torture is the worst policy. I saw that when he mentioned his son-in-law, he was not only angry, but also a little guilty. There must be something hard to say about the old master of the Chang family to be so stubborn. "
Song Xi nodded and asked Jia Amnesty to investigate slowly.Zhuan even asked someone to bring a qin, and asked Jia Amnesty to bring it to Yingchun when he went back later.
Jia She doesn't know much about the qin, but seeing the exquisite workmanship, he also knows that it is very expensive, "Where did you get it? Why do you suddenly want to give the qin?"
"I already have one from the palace. It's useless to keep it. There's no girl in the family who can play the piano. It's just right to give it to your daughter." Song Xi explained.
Jia Amnesty quickly thanked Song Xi, and chatted with him about the No. 15 issue of "Secret Stories Next Door", which is considered a report.
After Song Xi heard it, he immediately made the decision: "Cao Lan has already resigned, and the emperor on the side of Shan Guogong is not very concerned about it. You don't need to tell the emperor about this matter. You can just print it out and send it out."
Jia Amnesty agreed, so he said goodbye to Song Xi, and then went to Yinfang to check the first batch of printed content.After everything was fine, Jia Amnesty returned to Rong Mansion.
As soon as he got home, good news came from Jia Lian, saying that Wang Xifeng was pregnant.Jia Amnesty asked Mrs. Yin to pick a few auspicious ornaments from the storeroom and send them to Wang Xifeng.Furthermore, the last time he was ill, the emperor specially rewarded several expensive medicines, but those that were good for nourishing and protecting the fetus were also given to Wang Xifeng.
As soon as Jia Amnesty finished his orders, Jia Lian came to report the letter in person, beaming with joy.Jia Amnesty then asked Jia Lian to restrain his heart during this time, so as to take care of his pregnant wife.
"When the Ministry of Internal Affairs is free, go home earlier to accompany your wife."
Jia Lian hurriedly agreed, and said that Jia's mother was happy, and sent people to reward a lot of things.
"The old ancestor is also happy to give things, you just keep them." Jia She said.
Jia Lian agreed, he hesitated for a while, and then said to Jia She: "I don't know if the master knows, but at noon today, the second master Bao came back."
Jia Amnesty frowned: "I remember he just left for a short time, before the rest day of Songshan College, why did he come back?"
"I don't know. As soon as I came back, my eyes were red, and I cried when I saw my ancestor. Because we were here, he refused to say some things. After the people left, he nestled in the arms of the ancestor and whispered. The ancestor still Order us to keep the news of Baoyu's return from you, and not to tell you." Jia Lian said with a guilty conscience.
"You can't hide it, even if you don't tell it, someone else will. Don't worry, she won't cause trouble for you and your wife." Jia Amnesty sent Jia Lian away, and asked Mrs. Yin to ask about his grandson.Mrs. Yin's grandson, Wang Yongchun, is now Baoyu's accompanying student. When Baoyu comes back, Wang Yongchun will naturally follow him.
After a while, Mrs. Yin came to report back to Jia She: "It is said that the second master Bao heard a few children in the academy talking about things in Beijing yesterday, and suddenly he was in a bad mood. After school, he didn't even have dinner. Eat, I hid in the room alone for a long time. When I came out again, my eyes were red, and I wanted to go home. I went to ask my husband for leave. I don’t know what reason Bao Erye used. Mr. Zuo agreed , let Second Master Bao go for two days. Early this morning, it was still dark, Second Master Bao drove back from the academy."
Jia She heard that the matter was not serious, so he didn't intend to take care of it.Everyone is in a bad mood, and Baoyu just took two days off to come back, so there is no need to restrain this child too tightly.
"Pass the meal."
As soon as Jia She's finished speaking, someone said that Glass, the servant girl next to Jia's mother, had come.
When Jia Amnesty saw Glass come in, he didn't wait for her to speak first, but asked, "Is it because of Baoyu?"
Glass froze for a moment, shook his head, and nodded again, "It is, but the old lady won't let you say that."
"What can I do, just go to the second master, he should worry about his son's affairs," Jia She said.
Glass hesitated, "But the old lady asked the servant to—"
Jia Amnesty glanced at the glass coldly.
Glass immediately fell silent, and after saluting, he followed what Jia She said and went to find Jia Zhenglai.
When Jia Mu saw that it was Jia Amnesty instead of Jia Zheng who was brought by Glass, she immediately asked her why.
"The Eldest Master seems to have known that the Second Master Bao is back, and before the slaves can speak, the Eldest Master said that he should find the Second Master for this matter."
When Jia Zheng heard that Baoyu had something to do, Mother Jia went to her elder brother instead of her own father, and she became more and more unhappy.He is a filial son, so naturally he couldn't throw any anger at Jiamu, so he put on a face full of anger, called Baoyu loudly, and asked him why he returned home suddenly.
Baoyu approached Jia Mu in fear, faltering, with tears in his eyes, and categorically did not dare to explain the matter to Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng became even angrier because of this, and scolded him to come over quickly and not allow him to hide.
"You can't control this matter, go back quickly, and don't scare the child. The little face is hot, and it will get sick again." Jia's mother touched Baoyu's face distressedly, and snorted at Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng hurriedly agreed and said yes, took one last look at Baoyu, and then resigned.After going back, he was not reconciled, and told Mrs. Wang about it, telling Mrs. Wang to discipline Baoyu well.
Mrs. Wang was already tired of hearing Jia Zheng's words, she said nothing, she agreed, but she didn't think about Jia Zheng's words anymore.
Mother Jia sent people away again, and said harshly that if Jia Amnesty didn't come again this time, she would go to Rongxi Hall in person.
Jia Shefang came late, and after seeing Jia's mother, he went straight to the point and asked Baoyu what happened.
"What can Baoyu have as a child, but I didn't ask you to come here because of Baoyu." Jia Mu said.
Jia She raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"I don't know if you've heard that son-in-law Lin is recruiting apprentices and has taken in two students."
"I know." Jia She said.
"When did you know?" Mother Jia asked.
Jia Amnesty: "I knew it from the beginning."
Mother Jia was so angry that she slapped the table, blaming Jia Amnesty for not telling her earlier and causing her to hear it from other people.
"We don't need to worry about other people's family affairs."
"Son-in-law Lin is not an outsider!" Mother Jia muttered.
"If it wasn't for outsiders, we wouldn't treat him like a guest when he came to Rongfu." Jia Amnesty then asked why Mother Jia cared about his apprenticeship.
Jia's mother: "What about recruiting apprentices? You knew about it from the beginning, so you should know that he intends to recruit a son-in-law, and that's why he made such a fuss."
"That's other people's business. Could it be that your old man still wants Baoyu to be his son-in-law?" Jia Mu looked at Jia Mu in surprise.
"I—" Jia's mother choked. It is true that she likes Daiyu, but if his precious grandson's surname is changed to "Lin Jia's" to enter the Lin family, she will be put on the neck eight times with a knife. Will not agree.
"That's it. If I don't say anything, I don't want you to worry about it for nothing. I guess it must be Baoyu who heard about this incident. He was panicked and uncomfortable, so he came to beg you. Why did he stop? Because Brother-sister bond? Like Lin girl too much?"
"This child is innocent. Naturally, it is because he cares about the friendship between the sisters, and he is worried that she will have a new playmate, so he will ignore him." Mother Jia sighed.
"Tell him to worry too much, even if there is no such thing as recruiting apprentices, the number of times he will see Miss Lin in the future will be counted on the fingers. The girl's parents have grown up, as long as she doesn't marry him as a wife, she will 'ignore' him sooner or later. According to his thinking, the sisters will not get married in the future, and just stay with him for the rest of their lives!" Jia She said a few words, leaving Jia's mother completely speechless.
But Jia's mother would not let go of the Lin family's affairs, and instead asked Jia Amnesty how the two children who were accepted as disciples by Lin Ruhai were doing.Hearing that one of them was a merchant and the other was a concubine, Mother Jia just shook her head, very dissatisfied.
"It's fine for you to be like this now, if the Xue family is here, if you shake your head like this, they must think that you look down on them." Jia She sighed.
Jia Mu glared at Jia Amnesty, "Just looking down on him!"
Jia She glanced at the maidservants in the room and smiled, "Okay, okay, Mrs. Duyi."
"No, I have to call son-in-law Lin some other day. I have to talk to him. Daiyu is my granddaughter. Her future can't be left to him. What kind of identity do these two children have? It is commensurate with the golden branches and jade leaves like my granddaughter."
"Birth is not important, it's important to know how to make progress. Let's talk about Song Lu, isn't he also born as a concubine? I think every time you see him, you always keep a good word."
"How can that child be the same? Although he was born as a concubine, but now he has the status of a concubine! If Miss Lin can find someone like Song Lu, I will never say a word." Jia Mu said.
Jia Amnesty: "People will change. Fortunately, Song Lu was taught by Song Xi, so he is as powerful as he is today. How do you know that these two children will not become more promising after two years under the teaching of brother-in-law Lin? What's more, if you are willing to be a son-in-law, your family background must not be very good. With the right family status, who would be willing to send their son to the door to change their surname."
"Don't tell me these reasons? Just talk about your brother-in-law, why did you suddenly think of the idea of recruiting a son-in-law, what did you say?" Mother Jia frowned, feeling that her granddaughter was being used.
"No, but I think this method is very good. It's good. After all, staying in your own home is more comfortable than staying in someone else's home. If your waist is hard, at least Miss Lin won't be offended."
Mother Jia shook her head, expressing that the son-in-law who came to visit her was worthless, and instead delayed Daiyu's life. "It's better to choose a family of family friends you like. The relationship between the two families is close, and she will not be wronged. It's just that there is no way to continue the incense of the Lin family."
Mother Jia sighed, the so-called family home in her mouth was actually the Rongfu.She has always deliberately matched Daiyu and Baoyu, but now that the two children are young, she was afraid that there would be changes in the future, so she did not make an early decision.
Jia Amnesty saw through Jia Mu's thoughts at a glance, and sighed, "Who doesn't think about the future of their own children."
Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, Jia She's words seemed to be lamenting Lin Ruhai's actions, but also seemed to be mocking her.Baoyu and Daiyu's children were indeed her favorites, but in the final analysis, she was more concerned about Baoyu, so she was not in a hurry to make a marriage between Daiyu and Baoyu.
"Baoyu is still a child. Naturally, he has a child's heart. Even if he and Lin Yatou have a deep affection for sisters at the moment, it will fade sooner or later after a long time. It's not a big deal. You just need to not react so violently every time. After he mentioned it a few times, he found it was useless, and it would naturally stop. The important thing now is his studies, so that he will have the ability to support his own family and support his family in the future." After Jia She said, seeing that Jia's mother was silent, he went Ask her softly if the old man makes sense like this.
Mother Jia frowned and nodded.
Jia She said again: "You old man should worry about some serious business."
"What's the business?" Mother Jia thought that Jia Amnesty was about to find trouble and teach her a lesson, so she became serious.
"Help Dongfu find granddaughter-in-law. Holding the red thread is not your strongest skill? Nephew Zhen has been nagging me twice recently. Ever since the incident with Zhen's family, they have been very worried about finding relatives for Rong'er , to this day, there is no suitable candidate." Jia She said.
When Jia's mother heard that it was Jia Rong, she smiled and said, "Exactly. I've heard about it too. I'm going to meet my old ladies in these two days and talk about it. I need to find a good person." Well, a girl with a strong temper is the best, and you can take good care of Brother Rong. This child is good in everything, but his temperament follows his father and is a bit sloppy. You should discipline him when you have time, and you should be his uncle. "
"Now that his grandfather is here, it's not my turn to speak." Jia She sighed.
Thinking of Jia Jing, Jia's mother was surprised and said: "Is he recuperating at home because of his injury? After a while, he will recover from his illness. I'm afraid he will go back to the Xuanzhen Temple and don't care about world affairs."
"It's hard to say." Jia Amnesty saluted Jia Mu with a smile, and then left.
He happened to be here too, so Jia Amnesty brought over the Qin that Song Xi had given to Yingchun.
After Yingchun received the things, she was overjoyed, and thanked Song Xi repeatedly, and then Yingchun was busy walking around in her room, looking around for things.
Jia She looked at her puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"I don't have anything to thank, and it's not good to give away things from a girl's house. The calligraphy and painting are not in the eyes of Uncle Song. I also ask my father to worry about it and thank him for my daughter. He gave it away. Giving such a good piano to my daughter, there is absolutely no reason for her not to thank you." Yingchun nodded apologetically.
Jia She didn't take it seriously, "It's just a slightly more delicate piano. There are plenty of them in his house. You don't have to worry about it, and you don't need to be too grateful."
Jia Amnesty didn't want his daughter to be bought off by Song Xi's piano.
"It's not the same, this is a peerless piano." Yingchun carefully opened the bottom of the piano and asked Jia She to read the words below.
Jia Amnesty bent down to take a casual look, then lazily said, "I don't have any hidden treasures either."
"This is Wuhuaqin. According to legend, it is a treasure treasured by the sage of music, Li Guinian. The melodious sound of the strings can attract phoenixes from the sky. The body of the piano is made of century-old ebony, which is neither rotten nor rotten. It is a good thing that others can't find in eight hundred lifetimes. I've been left behind, and when my big sister returns home, she will definitely envy me when she sees that I have such a good Qin." Yingchun regarded the Qin as if it were a treasure, and held the Qin in her arms, her face was full of joy, much like her. It means to live by this piano all my life.After she was happy, Yingchun asked Jia She to bring her words of thanks.
"Tsk tsk, you bought my daughter with just one qin." Jia She not only lamented the lack of family affection.
Yingchun didn't feel any better, she still touched the piano lovingly, and thanked Song Xi again.
"You just hold the piano and live." Jia She glanced at Yingchun, shook his head helplessly, and let her have fun first, and he, who had nothing to enjoy, left first.
Siqi looked at the back of the elder master leaving, and hurriedly approached his daughter, "The master is enjoying himself, and the daughter is not good at coaxing the master."
"What are you coaxing, he is not reconciled now, and he will naturally send some good things later." Yingchun's eyeballs turned cleverly, and she smiled sweetly.
Siqi was stunned for a moment, looked at her girl in surprise, and then gave a thumbs up, "Girl, you are the best."
Yingchun was stunned for a moment, then patted her face with both hands, and lay down on the piano table, "Siqi, why do I feel that I have become bad?"
"Girl, you're not bad, you're smart. Besides, our master is not short of money, so it's nothing to give the girl a few dollars more. Don't worry, Second Grandma Lian won't blame you for this!" Siqi joked.
"Where are you going!" Yingchun glared at Siqi, and asked Siqi to bring her the flower frame on her bed, she wanted to embroider a dress for her unborn little niece.
"How do you know it's a girl? Everyone is looking forward to a boy, even Second Grandma is looking forward to it." Si Qi wondered.
Yingchun: "Yesterday I had a dream, and it was a girl. But don't tell it, don't let the second sister-in-law hear it, think about it too much. I thought I'd embroider one first, and later the second sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, there must be many people happy , send this to that, then it’s okay for me to embroider one more slowly. If it’s a girl, this dream will be fulfilled! There will not be many people who care about me at that time, so I will take the clothes I prepared earlier Send it over, and the second sister-in-law may still feel warm."
"Miss is so thoughtful, let's do it like this." Si Qi praised.
……
After dinner, Jia Zhen came to Jia She, and told him about the changes in his father in the past two days.
"In the past, the most I could do was walk around the yard, and when I talked, I kept talking about alchemy. But now I can go out, see the scenery in the mansion, and recall the old days. Tell me some naughty things about me when I was a child, and I asked about Brother Rong in the past two days, and I heard that Brother Rong is going to get married, so I specially called Brother Rong, asked about my studies, and gave some instructions." Jia Zhen said .
Jia Amnesty took a sip of tea and said nothing, just looked Jia Zhen up and down with his eyes.
Jia Zhen was puzzled, "What am I doing here? But there is something wrong?"
"Your father didn't worry about you?" Jia She asked.
"Worry, it's all scolding me, I don't have the nerve to say it, so I skip it." Jia Zhen scratched her head and laughed.
"It's a good thing that someone is watching you. You said what kind of bastard you used to be. Right now, it's really fun for a while. Let's wait a few years, and someone will dislike your Ning Mansion, and all the bad things you have done will be revealed. , retribution will be doubled on you. It's not a curse on you, it's a karma." Jia She said.
Jia Zhen nodded in resignation, and now he would listen to what Jia She said with conviction.
"Speak to your father when you have time, and see if he has any idea to return to the imperial court to be an official." Jia Amnesty said again.
Jia Zhen was a little excited when she heard this, "Father, he can still go to the court to be an official?"
Seeing Jia Amnesty nodding, Jia Zhen was very happy, and hurriedly said that this matter would be left to him.
Today, there are examples of Jia Amnesty in Rongfu becoming an official. Jia Zhen naturally hopes that her father can do the same.Look at the people in the Rong Mansion, now they walk sideways with their eyes closed when they go out, no one dares to provoke them.Not to mention those common people in the market place, even the royal family and nobles, now when they hear about the Rong Mansion, they will give them two cents of noodles.
In contrast, Ning Mansion is just a pile of mud that can't support the wall, and it is often compared with Rong Mansion by those outside, and it ends up being ridiculed.Although Jia Zhen is a dude and not serious, she also wants to save face and make a good face in front of outsiders.So when it comes to Jia Jing's matter, when Jia Zhen sees that Jia Jing intends to support her, she naturally hopes that the status of the Ning Mansion can climb up, but it can't compare with the Ning Mansion. 'I know how to eat moths from my ancestors'.
Jia Zhen immediately hurried back to the house to persuade Jia Jing.He will definitely try his best to persuade Jia Jing to return to Ning Mansion and the court.
The next day.
The [-]th issue of "Secrets of Neighborhood" was released as scheduled in the anticipation of many readers.
Early in the morning, there was a long queue at the entrance of Heiner Baichuan as usual.
Before the book was released, everyone was speculating about the content of this issue of "Secrets of My Neighbor".
"The first two episodes were about Taoists and Mrs. Wei, but I don't know what will happen in this episode. Will we continue to talk about monks and nuns?"
"I don't think so. It should be changed. I wonder if you found out? There are at most two similar cases."
"Then what is written in this issue is even more worth looking forward to."
"What are you talking about, the door is open, hurry forward!"
As soon as the door panel of the Haina Baichuan Bookstore slammed, the first person in the line outside immediately got in, and sighed while running: "I will rush over and wait when the curfew is lifted."
Hearing the words, the people behind hurriedly said: "It's because you live close by, good luck. Those of us who are far away can't make it no matter how hard we try."
"I don't know when Prince Zhenyan will be able to leave. If it wasn't for the curfew, I would have been waiting here in the middle of the night yesterday. How can it be your turn to argue."
"Is it possible? Prince Zhenyan hasn't come yet, so you just want him to leave? Just wait!"
Speaking of Prince Zhenyan, these people who lined up felt bored anyway, so they started chatting while walking.
"I said it was coming soon, but I didn't come after so long."
"I heard that there was an accident on the road, so the trip was delayed."
"Hey, maybe this real-faced prince is also a fake, and I want to make another fake princess."
"I can't be sure, these real-looking people are so shameless, I don't think we should let them come, and just send troops to kill these ugly grandchildren."
The shopkeeper, Qingshan, immediately struck the gong, reminding everyone to pay attention to their tongues, and not to talk about state affairs here casually.
The people who lined up all shut their mouths, one by one quietly finished receiving the books, and then hurriedly found their own places and couldn't wait to read them.
The one who received the book first, after reading the contents of the two nights, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Hey, this time it's so fresh and exciting, whoever doesn't buy it will regret it!"
When everyone in the queue heard this, they became excited and hurriedly urged those who bought books in front to hurry up so as not to delay their reading time.
An hour later, all the books in Haina Baichuan were sold out, and a sign was put up at the door to remind them that they were out of stock.
The scholar who had just rushed over saw the notice at the door, and was still a little unconvinced. He entered the door and asked, and it was true.
"At this time in the past, there will still be this book left, why is there no book this time?"
"This time the content is rich and very different." Song Yi had just finished reading the book, and when he heard this, he came over to tell him.
The scholar hurriedly saluted and asked Song Yi to give him the book, since he had already finished reading it anyway.
"I still want to keep this book as a treasure, that's all. Since you are sincere, I will lend you a read and return it to me after you finish reading it." Song Yi said generously.
The scholar was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. After receiving the book with both hands, he sat down to read.
At this time, the book shop was already very lively, and everyone was discussing the right and wrong in the book very excitedly.
In front of the book, the content of Shi Shi's conversation with his personal nurse that day was truthfully written, and it also truthfully described how Duke Shanguo sent someone to see Cao Ban after King Dongping County left Shanguogong's mansion, and how Cao Qingming and Cao Ban came and went. etc.This is one thing, and the other is the "bird raising" event that has just emerged in the capital. The book mentions this phenomenon in several wealthy families in the capital, and also specifically describes the differences between these girls who were raised. , How to meet the hobbies of the masters.In addition, it mentioned the origin of the little birds, how the little girls in the Beijing suburban house were "educated" and trained, and how they suffered to learn how to make a lewd cry.At the end, Jia Amnesty also talked about Cao Qingming going in and out of the house and being very familiar with the guards.
Jia Amnesty did not include Xiang'er's testimony on purpose, because it would point directly at the King of Dongping County and immediately reveal his identity.
But now there is no testimony from Xiang'er, and the remaining information is enough for everyone to deliberate.
After everyone watched these two incidents, they began to talk about the relationship between these people, discussing the right and wrong of raising birds, and who is behind the secret house outside Beijing.Because who is the culprit of this incident, the author of the book did not make a clear choice, and there is a lot of room for speculation. Everyone has joined the battle, using their own words to judge their own speculations, and compare them to see who is more reasonable. Well-founded.
The result of the discussion was that [-]% of the people believed that the mastermind behind the "raising the little bird" was Shan Guogong, [-]% believed that it was Cao Ban, and [-]% believed that it was Shi Shi.
Although it is inferred that the Shi family is in the minority, everyone thinks that the Shi family is the most shameful because of Shi's substitution of identity, adultery, and fake pregnancy to confuse the Cao family's blood, and the most people scold Shi.Most people shouted that Mrs. Shi should be stripped naked and soaked in the pig cage.
"Soaking pig cages? Stop talking nonsense! Dazhou has long banned the abuse of lynching. If it is done in a remote place in the countryside, no one cares about it. This is in the capital!"
Some people also said that if Shi's identity was false, it would be a crime to impersonate him, and he should be arrested and sent to the government.
"However, if Duke Shan doesn't admit it, and the servants in Duke Shan's family don't recognize it, who can say for sure that the Shi family is not Duke Shan's daughter? What is the evidence?"
"Oh, according to what you said, this Shi Shi not only pretended to be his identity, but also committed adultery. But in the end, he can live a good life without any retribution?"
Song Yi hurriedly said: "The things reported in the "Secrets of Neighbors" are true. We can ask the author for help to produce evidence of Shi's identity and send Shi to prison."
"I looked at the scholar and there may not be any evidence. The reason why the informant is anonymous is that it is inconvenient to speak out."
"However, how do you know it wasn't invented by the author of this story without evidence?" Someone questioned in a low voice, "A person who often tells the truth, who occasionally tells a lie, who can see through it."
"Did you see that there is a map on the last page!" Someone raised the map in his hand and said.
Everyone turned back one after another, and sure enough, on the last page, they found a picture folded in half and sandwiched in the book, which clearly noted the location of Shi's house where he trained Xiaoniao in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Whether what the author said is true or not, we only need to go here and take a look."
"I'm afraid that people will get the news and run away!"
At this time, several dandies came down from the second floor, and they all offered to offer twenty or thirty servants to each of them, and asked them to go first and immediately surround the house, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and then wait for everyone to go together denounce.
Everyone hurriedly said hello, and expressed their admiration for these dudes.
Everyone rode horses, and those who rode in cars rushed out of the city according to the signs on the map.
During this period, the secret guards arranged by Jia Amnesty to monitor the house captured the young servant who reported his life, knocked him unconscious, and threw him under a tree.Seeing people coming in groups at this moment, the secret guards retreated quietly.
Seeing this posture, the guard at the gate of the house was a little dizzy with fright, but he still raised the knife in his hand, struggled hard, and scolded them to back off, not to trespass into the private house.
How can everyone listen, and push forward a little bit.The guard boy was a little panicked. At this time, someone picked up stones on the spot and threw them on the two of them.It was enough for one or two people to hit him, but now there are hundreds of people in front of him, and hundreds of stones are thrown at him with force at the same time, the pain is so painful that no one can bear it.The guards threw away their knives one after another and fled to the house to report.
The dandies surrounded the house with their own servants, not letting any one go.All the scholars broke in and checked the situation inside. Sure enough, as the book said, there were many young girls in the house who were trained, all of them were young and pretty.After everyone took the three nuns who were in charge, they asked the girls what they learned to do on weekdays.The older girl had tears in her almond eyes, crying pitifully, but she refused to speak.He is younger, and it hasn't been too long since he entered the house, but he is willing to tell the story.
At this time, the government officials from Gyeonggi Province also arrived, and they came to check the situation on the grounds that someone broke into a private house.Knowing that everyone was going to accuse the house of being a place for cultivating prostitutes, the government officials took advantage of the situation and temporarily took all the people in the house into custody and put them in prison cars, including the three nurses in charge who had tried to escape. Gyeonggi province.
At this moment, Cao's family was not at peace. Shi Shi knew the situation was exposed, so he wanted to escape with money.Seeing this, Cao Qingming wanted to follow Shi Shi.The two of them, with their personal nurse, were about to escape through the back door in a carriage, but when the back door opened, the carriage would be stopped, and someone would yell at Shi Shi.
At this time, the government servants of Gyeonggi Prefecture appeared again, and "protected" Shi Shi in due course, and asked Shi Shi to go to Gyeonggi Prefecture and explain the matter clearly.In fact, arresting Shi Shi is not the goal, the goal is the close-knit nurse next to her who knows everything, as long as she confesses the situation, signs and pledges, then the scandal between Shi Shi and Shan Guogong will be well-documented, and no one will be able to cover it. Living.
Cao Ban was arrested when he was about to escape.Among those involved, only Shan Guogong was not passive, but at this time he became an ant on the hot pot, wandering around the house, not knowing how to save himself.
Shan Guogong ordered someone to ask the king of Dongping County, but he was sent back with cold words.
"Our lord said that he can hardly protect himself now, so I'm afraid he won't be able to help the lord. Besides, the lord said that if it's just a matter of raising birds, he doesn't recognize it, and the Duke doesn't recognize it, it's fine. But if " The matter between you and Shi Shi written in the "Secrets of Neighborhood" is true, as long as this matter is caught by the government as evidence, I am afraid that the king of heaven and I will not be able to save you!" After passing the words, the young man bowed and retired neatly.
Shan Guogong suddenly seemed to have lost his soul, and sat down on the stool, his eyes glazed over.Why was he so obsessed with ghosts back then, and let Shi Shi replace his daughter...
Shan Guogong's sons also watched "Secrets of Neighbors", but they didn't expect that this incident was related to their eldest sister and father.Because boys and girls have always been raised separately in Duke Shan’s mansion, the relationship between brothers and sisters is relatively weak. Only the two servants, Duke Shan and his wife knew about the death of Duke Shan’s daughter. Those of the younger generation were kept in the dark.
For such a shocking event, the rest of the people in Shan Guogong's mansion were shocked for a long time before they were relieved.The sons wanted to come to their father to ask for an explanation, but Duke Shan did not see them all.Everyone knows the seriousness of this matter. The eldest son of Shan Guogong was worried about this matter, and there were changes in his succession to the title. He couldn't help but curse a few words, blamed his father, and hated that Shi Shi.
"Father is confused, and it's really embarrassing for us to come up with such a thing."
"Shi Shi's scumbag is even more disgusting. She is not satisfied after being a golden branch and jade leaf for nothing, and she has an affair with Brother Cao Lan and her nephew. If she hadn't caused so many rampant things and attracted the attention of outsiders, we The government of Shanguo will not be implicated either."
When Shan Guogong heard that his sons had begun to look down on him, he was even more annoyed, but it was useless to regret everything.
On the same day, the three nuns in charge of the house could not bear the torture and intimidation of Gyeonggi Province, so they confessed their story and admitted that Mrs. Shi was the "bird" who served Duke Shan together with them.After being separated for seven or eight years, they went to Beijing with Lord Shan Guo and continued to be raised in another garden. Later, Mrs. Shi appeared and discussed with them about raising "little birds". I am old and frail, and I am afraid that I will not have anything to rely on in the future, so I hit it off with Shi Shi.
The master had specifically instructed him not to torture Chang to extract a confession.The master also said that if Master Chang still refuses to admit it, he must cut off the contact between Master Chang and Zhang Youyun, so as not to startle the snake.
Zhu Mao had no choice but to order Master Chang to be taken to a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing for custody.
After that, Zhu Mao held back his anger and replied, seeing that his master's attitude was still indifferent, his anger subsided a little.
After Song Xi learned of this, he naturally believed in Jia Amnesty's judgment, and had no doubt that Zhang Youyun was cheating money to become his son-in-law, "It's not easy to let the master of the Chang family tell the truth, as long as you are willing to hand him over to me."
Jia Amnesty immediately understood the meaning of Song Xi's words, "Extorting a confession by torture is the worst policy. I saw that when he mentioned his son-in-law, he was not only angry, but also a little guilty. There must be something hard to say about the old master of the Chang family to be so stubborn. "
Song Xi nodded and asked Jia Amnesty to investigate slowly.Zhuan even asked someone to bring a qin, and asked Jia Amnesty to bring it to Yingchun when he went back later.
Jia She doesn't know much about the qin, but seeing the exquisite workmanship, he also knows that it is very expensive, "Where did you get it? Why do you suddenly want to give the qin?"
"I already have one from the palace. It's useless to keep it. There's no girl in the family who can play the piano. It's just right to give it to your daughter." Song Xi explained.
Jia Amnesty quickly thanked Song Xi, and chatted with him about the No. 15 issue of "Secret Stories Next Door", which is considered a report.
After Song Xi heard it, he immediately made the decision: "Cao Lan has already resigned, and the emperor on the side of Shan Guogong is not very concerned about it. You don't need to tell the emperor about this matter. You can just print it out and send it out."
Jia Amnesty agreed, so he said goodbye to Song Xi, and then went to Yinfang to check the first batch of printed content.After everything was fine, Jia Amnesty returned to Rong Mansion.
As soon as he got home, good news came from Jia Lian, saying that Wang Xifeng was pregnant.Jia Amnesty asked Mrs. Yin to pick a few auspicious ornaments from the storeroom and send them to Wang Xifeng.Furthermore, the last time he was ill, the emperor specially rewarded several expensive medicines, but those that were good for nourishing and protecting the fetus were also given to Wang Xifeng.
As soon as Jia Amnesty finished his orders, Jia Lian came to report the letter in person, beaming with joy.Jia Amnesty then asked Jia Lian to restrain his heart during this time, so as to take care of his pregnant wife.
"When the Ministry of Internal Affairs is free, go home earlier to accompany your wife."
Jia Lian hurriedly agreed, and said that Jia's mother was happy, and sent people to reward a lot of things.
"The old ancestor is also happy to give things, you just keep them." Jia She said.
Jia Lian agreed, he hesitated for a while, and then said to Jia She: "I don't know if the master knows, but at noon today, the second master Bao came back."
Jia Amnesty frowned: "I remember he just left for a short time, before the rest day of Songshan College, why did he come back?"
"I don't know. As soon as I came back, my eyes were red, and I cried when I saw my ancestor. Because we were here, he refused to say some things. After the people left, he nestled in the arms of the ancestor and whispered. The ancestor still Order us to keep the news of Baoyu's return from you, and not to tell you." Jia Lian said with a guilty conscience.
"You can't hide it, even if you don't tell it, someone else will. Don't worry, she won't cause trouble for you and your wife." Jia Amnesty sent Jia Lian away, and asked Mrs. Yin to ask about his grandson.Mrs. Yin's grandson, Wang Yongchun, is now Baoyu's accompanying student. When Baoyu comes back, Wang Yongchun will naturally follow him.
After a while, Mrs. Yin came to report back to Jia She: "It is said that the second master Bao heard a few children in the academy talking about things in Beijing yesterday, and suddenly he was in a bad mood. After school, he didn't even have dinner. Eat, I hid in the room alone for a long time. When I came out again, my eyes were red, and I wanted to go home. I went to ask my husband for leave. I don’t know what reason Bao Erye used. Mr. Zuo agreed , let Second Master Bao go for two days. Early this morning, it was still dark, Second Master Bao drove back from the academy."
Jia She heard that the matter was not serious, so he didn't intend to take care of it.Everyone is in a bad mood, and Baoyu just took two days off to come back, so there is no need to restrain this child too tightly.
"Pass the meal."
As soon as Jia She's finished speaking, someone said that Glass, the servant girl next to Jia's mother, had come.
When Jia Amnesty saw Glass come in, he didn't wait for her to speak first, but asked, "Is it because of Baoyu?"
Glass froze for a moment, shook his head, and nodded again, "It is, but the old lady won't let you say that."
"What can I do, just go to the second master, he should worry about his son's affairs," Jia She said.
Glass hesitated, "But the old lady asked the servant to—"
Jia Amnesty glanced at the glass coldly.
Glass immediately fell silent, and after saluting, he followed what Jia She said and went to find Jia Zhenglai.
When Jia Mu saw that it was Jia Amnesty instead of Jia Zheng who was brought by Glass, she immediately asked her why.
"The Eldest Master seems to have known that the Second Master Bao is back, and before the slaves can speak, the Eldest Master said that he should find the Second Master for this matter."
When Jia Zheng heard that Baoyu had something to do, Mother Jia went to her elder brother instead of her own father, and she became more and more unhappy.He is a filial son, so naturally he couldn't throw any anger at Jiamu, so he put on a face full of anger, called Baoyu loudly, and asked him why he returned home suddenly.
Baoyu approached Jia Mu in fear, faltering, with tears in his eyes, and categorically did not dare to explain the matter to Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng became even angrier because of this, and scolded him to come over quickly and not allow him to hide.
"You can't control this matter, go back quickly, and don't scare the child. The little face is hot, and it will get sick again." Jia's mother touched Baoyu's face distressedly, and snorted at Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng hurriedly agreed and said yes, took one last look at Baoyu, and then resigned.After going back, he was not reconciled, and told Mrs. Wang about it, telling Mrs. Wang to discipline Baoyu well.
Mrs. Wang was already tired of hearing Jia Zheng's words, she said nothing, she agreed, but she didn't think about Jia Zheng's words anymore.
Mother Jia sent people away again, and said harshly that if Jia Amnesty didn't come again this time, she would go to Rongxi Hall in person.
Jia Shefang came late, and after seeing Jia's mother, he went straight to the point and asked Baoyu what happened.
"What can Baoyu have as a child, but I didn't ask you to come here because of Baoyu." Jia Mu said.
Jia She raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"I don't know if you've heard that son-in-law Lin is recruiting apprentices and has taken in two students."
"I know." Jia She said.
"When did you know?" Mother Jia asked.
Jia Amnesty: "I knew it from the beginning."
Mother Jia was so angry that she slapped the table, blaming Jia Amnesty for not telling her earlier and causing her to hear it from other people.
"We don't need to worry about other people's family affairs."
"Son-in-law Lin is not an outsider!" Mother Jia muttered.
"If it wasn't for outsiders, we wouldn't treat him like a guest when he came to Rongfu." Jia Amnesty then asked why Mother Jia cared about his apprenticeship.
Jia's mother: "What about recruiting apprentices? You knew about it from the beginning, so you should know that he intends to recruit a son-in-law, and that's why he made such a fuss."
"That's other people's business. Could it be that your old man still wants Baoyu to be his son-in-law?" Jia Mu looked at Jia Mu in surprise.
"I—" Jia's mother choked. It is true that she likes Daiyu, but if his precious grandson's surname is changed to "Lin Jia's" to enter the Lin family, she will be put on the neck eight times with a knife. Will not agree.
"That's it. If I don't say anything, I don't want you to worry about it for nothing. I guess it must be Baoyu who heard about this incident. He was panicked and uncomfortable, so he came to beg you. Why did he stop? Because Brother-sister bond? Like Lin girl too much?"
"This child is innocent. Naturally, it is because he cares about the friendship between the sisters, and he is worried that she will have a new playmate, so he will ignore him." Mother Jia sighed.
"Tell him to worry too much, even if there is no such thing as recruiting apprentices, the number of times he will see Miss Lin in the future will be counted on the fingers. The girl's parents have grown up, as long as she doesn't marry him as a wife, she will 'ignore' him sooner or later. According to his thinking, the sisters will not get married in the future, and just stay with him for the rest of their lives!" Jia She said a few words, leaving Jia's mother completely speechless.
But Jia's mother would not let go of the Lin family's affairs, and instead asked Jia Amnesty how the two children who were accepted as disciples by Lin Ruhai were doing.Hearing that one of them was a merchant and the other was a concubine, Mother Jia just shook her head, very dissatisfied.
"It's fine for you to be like this now, if the Xue family is here, if you shake your head like this, they must think that you look down on them." Jia She sighed.
Jia Mu glared at Jia Amnesty, "Just looking down on him!"
Jia She glanced at the maidservants in the room and smiled, "Okay, okay, Mrs. Duyi."
"No, I have to call son-in-law Lin some other day. I have to talk to him. Daiyu is my granddaughter. Her future can't be left to him. What kind of identity do these two children have? It is commensurate with the golden branches and jade leaves like my granddaughter."
"Birth is not important, it's important to know how to make progress. Let's talk about Song Lu, isn't he also born as a concubine? I think every time you see him, you always keep a good word."
"How can that child be the same? Although he was born as a concubine, but now he has the status of a concubine! If Miss Lin can find someone like Song Lu, I will never say a word." Jia Mu said.
Jia Amnesty: "People will change. Fortunately, Song Lu was taught by Song Xi, so he is as powerful as he is today. How do you know that these two children will not become more promising after two years under the teaching of brother-in-law Lin? What's more, if you are willing to be a son-in-law, your family background must not be very good. With the right family status, who would be willing to send their son to the door to change their surname."
"Don't tell me these reasons? Just talk about your brother-in-law, why did you suddenly think of the idea of recruiting a son-in-law, what did you say?" Mother Jia frowned, feeling that her granddaughter was being used.
"No, but I think this method is very good. It's good. After all, staying in your own home is more comfortable than staying in someone else's home. If your waist is hard, at least Miss Lin won't be offended."
Mother Jia shook her head, expressing that the son-in-law who came to visit her was worthless, and instead delayed Daiyu's life. "It's better to choose a family of family friends you like. The relationship between the two families is close, and she will not be wronged. It's just that there is no way to continue the incense of the Lin family."
Mother Jia sighed, the so-called family home in her mouth was actually the Rongfu.She has always deliberately matched Daiyu and Baoyu, but now that the two children are young, she was afraid that there would be changes in the future, so she did not make an early decision.
Jia Amnesty saw through Jia Mu's thoughts at a glance, and sighed, "Who doesn't think about the future of their own children."
Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, Jia She's words seemed to be lamenting Lin Ruhai's actions, but also seemed to be mocking her.Baoyu and Daiyu's children were indeed her favorites, but in the final analysis, she was more concerned about Baoyu, so she was not in a hurry to make a marriage between Daiyu and Baoyu.
"Baoyu is still a child. Naturally, he has a child's heart. Even if he and Lin Yatou have a deep affection for sisters at the moment, it will fade sooner or later after a long time. It's not a big deal. You just need to not react so violently every time. After he mentioned it a few times, he found it was useless, and it would naturally stop. The important thing now is his studies, so that he will have the ability to support his own family and support his family in the future." After Jia She said, seeing that Jia's mother was silent, he went Ask her softly if the old man makes sense like this.
Mother Jia frowned and nodded.
Jia She said again: "You old man should worry about some serious business."
"What's the business?" Mother Jia thought that Jia Amnesty was about to find trouble and teach her a lesson, so she became serious.
"Help Dongfu find granddaughter-in-law. Holding the red thread is not your strongest skill? Nephew Zhen has been nagging me twice recently. Ever since the incident with Zhen's family, they have been very worried about finding relatives for Rong'er , to this day, there is no suitable candidate." Jia She said.
When Jia's mother heard that it was Jia Rong, she smiled and said, "Exactly. I've heard about it too. I'm going to meet my old ladies in these two days and talk about it. I need to find a good person." Well, a girl with a strong temper is the best, and you can take good care of Brother Rong. This child is good in everything, but his temperament follows his father and is a bit sloppy. You should discipline him when you have time, and you should be his uncle. "
"Now that his grandfather is here, it's not my turn to speak." Jia She sighed.
Thinking of Jia Jing, Jia's mother was surprised and said: "Is he recuperating at home because of his injury? After a while, he will recover from his illness. I'm afraid he will go back to the Xuanzhen Temple and don't care about world affairs."
"It's hard to say." Jia Amnesty saluted Jia Mu with a smile, and then left.
He happened to be here too, so Jia Amnesty brought over the Qin that Song Xi had given to Yingchun.
After Yingchun received the things, she was overjoyed, and thanked Song Xi repeatedly, and then Yingchun was busy walking around in her room, looking around for things.
Jia She looked at her puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"I don't have anything to thank, and it's not good to give away things from a girl's house. The calligraphy and painting are not in the eyes of Uncle Song. I also ask my father to worry about it and thank him for my daughter. He gave it away. Giving such a good piano to my daughter, there is absolutely no reason for her not to thank you." Yingchun nodded apologetically.
Jia She didn't take it seriously, "It's just a slightly more delicate piano. There are plenty of them in his house. You don't have to worry about it, and you don't need to be too grateful."
Jia Amnesty didn't want his daughter to be bought off by Song Xi's piano.
"It's not the same, this is a peerless piano." Yingchun carefully opened the bottom of the piano and asked Jia She to read the words below.
Jia Amnesty bent down to take a casual look, then lazily said, "I don't have any hidden treasures either."
"This is Wuhuaqin. According to legend, it is a treasure treasured by the sage of music, Li Guinian. The melodious sound of the strings can attract phoenixes from the sky. The body of the piano is made of century-old ebony, which is neither rotten nor rotten. It is a good thing that others can't find in eight hundred lifetimes. I've been left behind, and when my big sister returns home, she will definitely envy me when she sees that I have such a good Qin." Yingchun regarded the Qin as if it were a treasure, and held the Qin in her arms, her face was full of joy, much like her. It means to live by this piano all my life.After she was happy, Yingchun asked Jia She to bring her words of thanks.
"Tsk tsk, you bought my daughter with just one qin." Jia She not only lamented the lack of family affection.
Yingchun didn't feel any better, she still touched the piano lovingly, and thanked Song Xi again.
"You just hold the piano and live." Jia She glanced at Yingchun, shook his head helplessly, and let her have fun first, and he, who had nothing to enjoy, left first.
Siqi looked at the back of the elder master leaving, and hurriedly approached his daughter, "The master is enjoying himself, and the daughter is not good at coaxing the master."
"What are you coaxing, he is not reconciled now, and he will naturally send some good things later." Yingchun's eyeballs turned cleverly, and she smiled sweetly.
Siqi was stunned for a moment, looked at her girl in surprise, and then gave a thumbs up, "Girl, you are the best."
Yingchun was stunned for a moment, then patted her face with both hands, and lay down on the piano table, "Siqi, why do I feel that I have become bad?"
"Girl, you're not bad, you're smart. Besides, our master is not short of money, so it's nothing to give the girl a few dollars more. Don't worry, Second Grandma Lian won't blame you for this!" Siqi joked.
"Where are you going!" Yingchun glared at Siqi, and asked Siqi to bring her the flower frame on her bed, she wanted to embroider a dress for her unborn little niece.
"How do you know it's a girl? Everyone is looking forward to a boy, even Second Grandma is looking forward to it." Si Qi wondered.
Yingchun: "Yesterday I had a dream, and it was a girl. But don't tell it, don't let the second sister-in-law hear it, think about it too much. I thought I'd embroider one first, and later the second sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, there must be many people happy , send this to that, then it’s okay for me to embroider one more slowly. If it’s a girl, this dream will be fulfilled! There will not be many people who care about me at that time, so I will take the clothes I prepared earlier Send it over, and the second sister-in-law may still feel warm."
"Miss is so thoughtful, let's do it like this." Si Qi praised.
……
After dinner, Jia Zhen came to Jia She, and told him about the changes in his father in the past two days.
"In the past, the most I could do was walk around the yard, and when I talked, I kept talking about alchemy. But now I can go out, see the scenery in the mansion, and recall the old days. Tell me some naughty things about me when I was a child, and I asked about Brother Rong in the past two days, and I heard that Brother Rong is going to get married, so I specially called Brother Rong, asked about my studies, and gave some instructions." Jia Zhen said .
Jia Amnesty took a sip of tea and said nothing, just looked Jia Zhen up and down with his eyes.
Jia Zhen was puzzled, "What am I doing here? But there is something wrong?"
"Your father didn't worry about you?" Jia She asked.
"Worry, it's all scolding me, I don't have the nerve to say it, so I skip it." Jia Zhen scratched her head and laughed.
"It's a good thing that someone is watching you. You said what kind of bastard you used to be. Right now, it's really fun for a while. Let's wait a few years, and someone will dislike your Ning Mansion, and all the bad things you have done will be revealed. , retribution will be doubled on you. It's not a curse on you, it's a karma." Jia She said.
Jia Zhen nodded in resignation, and now he would listen to what Jia She said with conviction.
"Speak to your father when you have time, and see if he has any idea to return to the imperial court to be an official." Jia Amnesty said again.
Jia Zhen was a little excited when she heard this, "Father, he can still go to the court to be an official?"
Seeing Jia Amnesty nodding, Jia Zhen was very happy, and hurriedly said that this matter would be left to him.
Today, there are examples of Jia Amnesty in Rongfu becoming an official. Jia Zhen naturally hopes that her father can do the same.Look at the people in the Rong Mansion, now they walk sideways with their eyes closed when they go out, no one dares to provoke them.Not to mention those common people in the market place, even the royal family and nobles, now when they hear about the Rong Mansion, they will give them two cents of noodles.
In contrast, Ning Mansion is just a pile of mud that can't support the wall, and it is often compared with Rong Mansion by those outside, and it ends up being ridiculed.Although Jia Zhen is a dude and not serious, she also wants to save face and make a good face in front of outsiders.So when it comes to Jia Jing's matter, when Jia Zhen sees that Jia Jing intends to support her, she naturally hopes that the status of the Ning Mansion can climb up, but it can't compare with the Ning Mansion. 'I know how to eat moths from my ancestors'.
Jia Zhen immediately hurried back to the house to persuade Jia Jing.He will definitely try his best to persuade Jia Jing to return to Ning Mansion and the court.
The next day.
The [-]th issue of "Secrets of Neighborhood" was released as scheduled in the anticipation of many readers.
Early in the morning, there was a long queue at the entrance of Heiner Baichuan as usual.
Before the book was released, everyone was speculating about the content of this issue of "Secrets of My Neighbor".
"The first two episodes were about Taoists and Mrs. Wei, but I don't know what will happen in this episode. Will we continue to talk about monks and nuns?"
"I don't think so. It should be changed. I wonder if you found out? There are at most two similar cases."
"Then what is written in this issue is even more worth looking forward to."
"What are you talking about, the door is open, hurry forward!"
As soon as the door panel of the Haina Baichuan Bookstore slammed, the first person in the line outside immediately got in, and sighed while running: "I will rush over and wait when the curfew is lifted."
Hearing the words, the people behind hurriedly said: "It's because you live close by, good luck. Those of us who are far away can't make it no matter how hard we try."
"I don't know when Prince Zhenyan will be able to leave. If it wasn't for the curfew, I would have been waiting here in the middle of the night yesterday. How can it be your turn to argue."
"Is it possible? Prince Zhenyan hasn't come yet, so you just want him to leave? Just wait!"
Speaking of Prince Zhenyan, these people who lined up felt bored anyway, so they started chatting while walking.
"I said it was coming soon, but I didn't come after so long."
"I heard that there was an accident on the road, so the trip was delayed."
"Hey, maybe this real-faced prince is also a fake, and I want to make another fake princess."
"I can't be sure, these real-looking people are so shameless, I don't think we should let them come, and just send troops to kill these ugly grandchildren."
The shopkeeper, Qingshan, immediately struck the gong, reminding everyone to pay attention to their tongues, and not to talk about state affairs here casually.
The people who lined up all shut their mouths, one by one quietly finished receiving the books, and then hurriedly found their own places and couldn't wait to read them.
The one who received the book first, after reading the contents of the two nights, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Hey, this time it's so fresh and exciting, whoever doesn't buy it will regret it!"
When everyone in the queue heard this, they became excited and hurriedly urged those who bought books in front to hurry up so as not to delay their reading time.
An hour later, all the books in Haina Baichuan were sold out, and a sign was put up at the door to remind them that they were out of stock.
The scholar who had just rushed over saw the notice at the door, and was still a little unconvinced. He entered the door and asked, and it was true.
"At this time in the past, there will still be this book left, why is there no book this time?"
"This time the content is rich and very different." Song Yi had just finished reading the book, and when he heard this, he came over to tell him.
The scholar hurriedly saluted and asked Song Yi to give him the book, since he had already finished reading it anyway.
"I still want to keep this book as a treasure, that's all. Since you are sincere, I will lend you a read and return it to me after you finish reading it." Song Yi said generously.
The scholar was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. After receiving the book with both hands, he sat down to read.
At this time, the book shop was already very lively, and everyone was discussing the right and wrong in the book very excitedly.
In front of the book, the content of Shi Shi's conversation with his personal nurse that day was truthfully written, and it also truthfully described how Duke Shanguo sent someone to see Cao Ban after King Dongping County left Shanguogong's mansion, and how Cao Qingming and Cao Ban came and went. etc.This is one thing, and the other is the "bird raising" event that has just emerged in the capital. The book mentions this phenomenon in several wealthy families in the capital, and also specifically describes the differences between these girls who were raised. , How to meet the hobbies of the masters.In addition, it mentioned the origin of the little birds, how the little girls in the Beijing suburban house were "educated" and trained, and how they suffered to learn how to make a lewd cry.At the end, Jia Amnesty also talked about Cao Qingming going in and out of the house and being very familiar with the guards.
Jia Amnesty did not include Xiang'er's testimony on purpose, because it would point directly at the King of Dongping County and immediately reveal his identity.
But now there is no testimony from Xiang'er, and the remaining information is enough for everyone to deliberate.
After everyone watched these two incidents, they began to talk about the relationship between these people, discussing the right and wrong of raising birds, and who is behind the secret house outside Beijing.Because who is the culprit of this incident, the author of the book did not make a clear choice, and there is a lot of room for speculation. Everyone has joined the battle, using their own words to judge their own speculations, and compare them to see who is more reasonable. Well-founded.
The result of the discussion was that [-]% of the people believed that the mastermind behind the "raising the little bird" was Shan Guogong, [-]% believed that it was Cao Ban, and [-]% believed that it was Shi Shi.
Although it is inferred that the Shi family is in the minority, everyone thinks that the Shi family is the most shameful because of Shi's substitution of identity, adultery, and fake pregnancy to confuse the Cao family's blood, and the most people scold Shi.Most people shouted that Mrs. Shi should be stripped naked and soaked in the pig cage.
"Soaking pig cages? Stop talking nonsense! Dazhou has long banned the abuse of lynching. If it is done in a remote place in the countryside, no one cares about it. This is in the capital!"
Some people also said that if Shi's identity was false, it would be a crime to impersonate him, and he should be arrested and sent to the government.
"However, if Duke Shan doesn't admit it, and the servants in Duke Shan's family don't recognize it, who can say for sure that the Shi family is not Duke Shan's daughter? What is the evidence?"
"Oh, according to what you said, this Shi Shi not only pretended to be his identity, but also committed adultery. But in the end, he can live a good life without any retribution?"
Song Yi hurriedly said: "The things reported in the "Secrets of Neighbors" are true. We can ask the author for help to produce evidence of Shi's identity and send Shi to prison."
"I looked at the scholar and there may not be any evidence. The reason why the informant is anonymous is that it is inconvenient to speak out."
"However, how do you know it wasn't invented by the author of this story without evidence?" Someone questioned in a low voice, "A person who often tells the truth, who occasionally tells a lie, who can see through it."
"Did you see that there is a map on the last page!" Someone raised the map in his hand and said.
Everyone turned back one after another, and sure enough, on the last page, they found a picture folded in half and sandwiched in the book, which clearly noted the location of Shi's house where he trained Xiaoniao in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Whether what the author said is true or not, we only need to go here and take a look."
"I'm afraid that people will get the news and run away!"
At this time, several dandies came down from the second floor, and they all offered to offer twenty or thirty servants to each of them, and asked them to go first and immediately surround the house, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and then wait for everyone to go together denounce.
Everyone hurriedly said hello, and expressed their admiration for these dudes.
Everyone rode horses, and those who rode in cars rushed out of the city according to the signs on the map.
During this period, the secret guards arranged by Jia Amnesty to monitor the house captured the young servant who reported his life, knocked him unconscious, and threw him under a tree.Seeing people coming in groups at this moment, the secret guards retreated quietly.
Seeing this posture, the guard at the gate of the house was a little dizzy with fright, but he still raised the knife in his hand, struggled hard, and scolded them to back off, not to trespass into the private house.
How can everyone listen, and push forward a little bit.The guard boy was a little panicked. At this time, someone picked up stones on the spot and threw them on the two of them.It was enough for one or two people to hit him, but now there are hundreds of people in front of him, and hundreds of stones are thrown at him with force at the same time, the pain is so painful that no one can bear it.The guards threw away their knives one after another and fled to the house to report.
The dandies surrounded the house with their own servants, not letting any one go.All the scholars broke in and checked the situation inside. Sure enough, as the book said, there were many young girls in the house who were trained, all of them were young and pretty.After everyone took the three nuns who were in charge, they asked the girls what they learned to do on weekdays.The older girl had tears in her almond eyes, crying pitifully, but she refused to speak.He is younger, and it hasn't been too long since he entered the house, but he is willing to tell the story.
At this time, the government officials from Gyeonggi Province also arrived, and they came to check the situation on the grounds that someone broke into a private house.Knowing that everyone was going to accuse the house of being a place for cultivating prostitutes, the government officials took advantage of the situation and temporarily took all the people in the house into custody and put them in prison cars, including the three nurses in charge who had tried to escape. Gyeonggi province.
At this moment, Cao's family was not at peace. Shi Shi knew the situation was exposed, so he wanted to escape with money.Seeing this, Cao Qingming wanted to follow Shi Shi.The two of them, with their personal nurse, were about to escape through the back door in a carriage, but when the back door opened, the carriage would be stopped, and someone would yell at Shi Shi.
At this time, the government servants of Gyeonggi Prefecture appeared again, and "protected" Shi Shi in due course, and asked Shi Shi to go to Gyeonggi Prefecture and explain the matter clearly.In fact, arresting Shi Shi is not the goal, the goal is the close-knit nurse next to her who knows everything, as long as she confesses the situation, signs and pledges, then the scandal between Shi Shi and Shan Guogong will be well-documented, and no one will be able to cover it. Living.
Cao Ban was arrested when he was about to escape.Among those involved, only Shan Guogong was not passive, but at this time he became an ant on the hot pot, wandering around the house, not knowing how to save himself.
Shan Guogong ordered someone to ask the king of Dongping County, but he was sent back with cold words.
"Our lord said that he can hardly protect himself now, so I'm afraid he won't be able to help the lord. Besides, the lord said that if it's just a matter of raising birds, he doesn't recognize it, and the Duke doesn't recognize it, it's fine. But if " The matter between you and Shi Shi written in the "Secrets of Neighborhood" is true, as long as this matter is caught by the government as evidence, I am afraid that the king of heaven and I will not be able to save you!" After passing the words, the young man bowed and retired neatly.
Shan Guogong suddenly seemed to have lost his soul, and sat down on the stool, his eyes glazed over.Why was he so obsessed with ghosts back then, and let Shi Shi replace his daughter...
Shan Guogong's sons also watched "Secrets of Neighbors", but they didn't expect that this incident was related to their eldest sister and father.Because boys and girls have always been raised separately in Duke Shan’s mansion, the relationship between brothers and sisters is relatively weak. Only the two servants, Duke Shan and his wife knew about the death of Duke Shan’s daughter. Those of the younger generation were kept in the dark.
For such a shocking event, the rest of the people in Shan Guogong's mansion were shocked for a long time before they were relieved.The sons wanted to come to their father to ask for an explanation, but Duke Shan did not see them all.Everyone knows the seriousness of this matter. The eldest son of Shan Guogong was worried about this matter, and there were changes in his succession to the title. He couldn't help but curse a few words, blamed his father, and hated that Shi Shi.
"Father is confused, and it's really embarrassing for us to come up with such a thing."
"Shi Shi's scumbag is even more disgusting. She is not satisfied after being a golden branch and jade leaf for nothing, and she has an affair with Brother Cao Lan and her nephew. If she hadn't caused so many rampant things and attracted the attention of outsiders, we The government of Shanguo will not be implicated either."
When Shan Guogong heard that his sons had begun to look down on him, he was even more annoyed, but it was useless to regret everything.
On the same day, the three nuns in charge of the house could not bear the torture and intimidation of Gyeonggi Province, so they confessed their story and admitted that Mrs. Shi was the "bird" who served Duke Shan together with them.After being separated for seven or eight years, they went to Beijing with Lord Shan Guo and continued to be raised in another garden. Later, Mrs. Shi appeared and discussed with them about raising "little birds". I am old and frail, and I am afraid that I will not have anything to rely on in the future, so I hit it off with Shi Shi.
