The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

The Jia family was asking around like a headless chicken. The next day when they went to the court, Tu Jingnian threw out the matter of the Xue family. No one in the court knew that Xue Jian had managed the Secretary of General Affairs. Xue's family is an ordinary imperial merchant, but they hang under the name of the Ministry of Households and import some ordinary palace flower ornaments into the House of Internal Affairs.Therefore, Tu Jingnian said in the court hall that an ordinary imperial merchant dared to fight with others casually, claiming to fight to death, and he was not afraid of being beaten to death.

The Ministry of Punishment reacted very quickly, quickly uncovering Xue Pan's case, and then said that Xue Pan killed a little squire in Jinling before, and later fled with his family fearing the crime.However, the case was finally closed, and the case file still contained the verdict of the current Governor of Yingtian Mansion, which only said that the Xue family was not strict in teaching, and a servant accidentally beat Feng Yuan to death.

And why did Yin of Yingtianfu make such a judgment? Because the current governor of the Beijing camp, Prince Teng Wang, and the Rongguo Mansion both sent letters to Yin of Yingtianfu. The current governor of Yingtianfu, named Niu Jiping, is the One of the more promising offshoots of the Duke's family, a serious imperial examination background, a second-class Jinshi, is a family friend with the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family. Therefore, according to Wang Ziteng and the Rongguo Mansion's intentions, the Xue family finally launched a servant. The servant later directly committed suicide in fear of crime, and now there is no proof of death.

However, there is another problem here. If it was not Xue Pan who killed someone, it was really the servant who killed him. Then, why did the Xue family run so fast at the beginning? Even the Xue family was also an old servant of the Xue family who handled the family property later on. Do it for me, the masters all ran away.Moreover, Xue Pan himself said before that he was the one who beat Feng Yuan to death, and he himself pleaded guilty, so it can be seen that the servant is just a scapegoat.

Immediately, the censor came out to impeach Prince Teng and the Rongguo Mansion, and someone directly said that the Rongguo Mansion is only taking the title of a first-rank general, and it is still using the signboard of the Rongguo Mansion.

Wang Ziteng is a third rank, but has the power to go to court. Now he hastily took off his hat to plead guilty. Tu Jingnian glanced at Wang Ziteng, and said indifferently: "Although it is natural for relatives to hide from each other, Mr. Wang is not hiding My own nephew, on the contrary, is manipulating the lawsuit, involving the innocent, causing innocent people to die in vain, and guilty people to escape to heaven, and your nephew is really arrogant! You think that killing someone is nothing, now it’s up to who doesn’t If you are pleasing to the eye, you want to kill him!"

Hearing what Tu Jingnian said, Wang Ziteng was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. If Xue Pan stood in front of him now, he would take his life with his own hands and show Tu Jingnian his loyalty.But the problem is that Xue Pan is not here, and there are a bunch of censors staring at him. Tu Jingnian sighed, and said, "Wang Qing perverted the law for personal gain. Your family said, how should we deal with it?"

Naturally, some people begged for mercy, and some people made trouble. The pleading was nothing more than saying that Wang Ziteng’s younger sister had only one son, Xue Pan, and that’s why he did something stupid. Disregarding human life, if not severely punished, wouldn't everyone follow suit, what will be the majesty of the country's laws in the future!

Tu Jingnian listened to the quarrel in the court hall for a long time, and finally waved his hand: "Prince Teng bent the law for personal gain, colluded with foreign officials, manipulated the lawsuit, and was unbearable for his high position. Ten thousand!"

"My lord, my lord!" "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness!" Wang Ziteng was extremely annoyed. What is a doctor of the Ministry of War? Well, he would rather be relegated to a small soldier, at least he still has the chance to make meritorious service and be promoted. If he becomes a doctor of the military department, he really can only earn his qualifications honestly.What's more, his relationship with those people in the Ministry of War is not particularly good. At that time, he will definitely be put on small shoes, and his future will be completely ruined by his nephew. Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng's face began to turn gray, but let The people in the court looked a little sympathetic, who doesn't have any bad relatives!Wang Ziteng had a big stumble this time, and left a bad impression on the saint, and his future prospects are limited.

The matter of Wang Ziteng is settled, and what about the Rongguo Mansion, Tu Jingnian said indifferently: "As for the matter of the Rongguo Mansion, violation of regulations and arrogance, collusion with local officials, monopoly of lawsuits, harboring criminals, let Jia She go to the court to defend himself tomorrow In addition, Niu Jiping, Yin Tianfu, since he thinks that being an official is for the sake of his superiors and family friends, then he doesn't have to be an official!"

This year is the standard rule of man, and the law is also very flexible. When Tu Jingnian opened his mouth, this is the conclusion. Apart from that, there was nothing else in the court, so he simply went down. Tu Jingnian turned around After leaving, all civil and military officials looked at Tu Jingnian's leaving back, feeling a little heavy in their hearts. As I said before, who doesn't have any bad relatives? It's not that many people present have never done similar things. If the matter about Wang Ziteng was not discovered by the higher-ups, it would be easy to talk about everything. The problem is, according to what Jingnian meant, he obviously had a bad feeling for Wang Ziteng, and he dealt with it severely. It can be seen that what happened to the holy will, so many After the person returns, the first thing to do is to tell the family that in the future, these things should not be touched casually. There are things that have been done before, and they should be cleaned up quickly, so as not to cause any problems and be caught by others. Live the pigtail.

After Wang Ziteng went back, he almost smashed his study, and when he heard his wife come over and say that his sister-in-law had come with her niece early in the morning, he became even more angry, and almost roared: "For that evil in their family, I I even lost my official position. Now that I am so old, I have to be a doctor in the Ministry of War. I am still here. What did I, an older brother, do in my previous life to cultivate such a relative? Little, I still think my life is not short enough!"

Wang Ziteng's wife, Mrs. Liu, didn't like the two sister-in-laws at first, and when her husband came back, he got angry, and he didn't know what happened. When he heard that Wang Ziteng was demoted because of that nephew who never stopped, he immediately became angry. Almost screamed: "Is what the master said true?"

Wang Ziteng was a little discouraged and said: "Of course it's true, can this kind of thing be a joke! Forget it, you can call them over, I, Mr. Wang, treat this sister with the utmost benevolence, there is really nothing I can do! You say that Xue Pan , It’s not good to offend anyone, offend a sage, whoever I count as the person on the card, how can I save him, I can’t even save myself!”

Seeing that even her elder brother was implicated and unreliable, Xue Wangshi was not a person with big ideas, so she was crying and crying, while Xue Baochai was also wiping her tears: "I don't want to implicate my uncle because of my elder brother's affairs. Mom and I are ashamed to see uncle again, brother like that is also his fate!"

Seeing that Xue Baochai was still playing tricks, Wang Ziteng felt exhausted, and then said: "In this case, you go back, I, Mr. Wang, can't take care of your family's affairs, and I can't take care of them either! If you are worried about Xue's family There is no more incense, just make some arrangements at Shuntian Mansion and send a few women in!" As he spoke, he went directly to bring tea to see off the guests.

Xue Wangshi was dumbfounded, but seeing Wang Ziteng turned his face, she finally had to take Xue Baochai back.

The Jia family was also making trouble, Jia She was furious, it was not his turn to do good things, he knew who the Xue family was, and in the end, Jia Zheng took the post from the Rongguo Mansion and went to work, but he was asked to stand on top of the vat!Shi Taijun was still talking about family and harmony, filial piety and so on. Jia Amnesty couldn't bear it anymore, and said sadly: "Filial piety, old lady, I know filial piety too well! Back then, old lady, you said that, Without further ado, I gave up the Rongxi Hall to my second son, and lived beside the horse shed. The post of the Rongguo Mansion was with him. Who knows if there is anything else besides this one! The old lady , I also know that there are no unbiased parents in this world, but if my heart is so partial to you, old lady, am I really your own, old lady?"

Shi Taijun was so angry that he was about to roll his eyes, Jia Amnesty had already walked away, and shouted: "I have endured for so many years, and now you will not let me live, what else do I have to endure, I will hug you tomorrow!" Go up to the court on the tablet of the ancestors, and ask the sage, how can I be called filial piety if I am like this!"

As a result, the next day, Tu Jingnian and a group of courtiers saw a good show. Jia Amnesty was wearing an official uniform that was probably under the bottom of the box and hadn't been worn much. He knelt there and cried, wiping his tears: " Your Majesty, I really have no choice. My Majesty went to Rongning Street to ask, who doesn't know that Chen Jia She is a waste who can only live in a stable at home. I also know that I am incompetent, and I don't want to To add to the chaos of the saint, I usually stay at home peacefully, and I have never even gone out a few times in my life! The Xue family came to the capital for no reason. I don’t know why they came here. I heard that the girl of the Xue family has a high heart. , I want to participate in the draft and enter the palace to be a concubine! The Xue family doesn't look down on this trash, I have been in our house for more than a year, and I didn't even enter my courtyard door. If I help move around such a family, isn't it? What a lack of heart!"

Jia She said a lot of words incoherently. Anyway, he was just breaking the cans. He was like singing an opera over there, exposing almost all the ugliness of Jia's family. What kind of person who is a majestic prince is called the old man by the family's servants for no reason. However, the master is the second child. His son married a daughter-in-law. As a father, he didn’t even have room to intervene. The old lady and the second family decided to marry his son to the daughter of the Wang family. The parents-in-law, who refused to be filial and upright, devoted themselves to taking care of the second house and their own son, so that the son was simply running errands for the second child's family.Someone came to visit from outside, and the second child made the decision, and I didn't even know who it was, but this time something happened, and my mother forced me to admit it!Speaking of this, Jia She was so sad that he almost patted his thigh and burst into tears on the spot.

Tu Jingnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked at the courtiers who were also dumbfounded: "Your gentlemen, tell me, what should we do about this matter?"
