Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

The next day, Mrs. Xing took her daughter Xing Xiuyan to the Prison Temple first.

In this world, the only people who talk about superficial skills are the royal family.Although the emperor confiscated the Jia family's house and questioned it, he still gave Jia Mu another small courtyard with two entrances and more than ten rooms to live in. She took care of her by her side, and everyone else went to prison, even Jialan, a half-old child, was no exception.

This is why Lin Ruhai is not optimistic about Jia's family and refuses to let Lin Daiyu go out: even Jia's mother's eldest daughter, Yuanyang, is given special care and entered the prison temple. Obviously, the matter that the emperor wants to investigate is definitely not trivial.

Among the female family members of the Jia family, the only person who received preferential treatment was Mrs. Xing.

After all, Xing Zhong was a second-rank official in the dynasty, and he was awarded awards year after year, and he was one of the best in the evaluation by the Ministry of Officials every year.Second, Mrs. Xing really has nothing to do with the bad debts of the Jia family. She herself has never been in charge of the family in the Rongguo Mansion, and her companion is only in a decent name, unlike Zhou Rui. Mrs. Wang has done many things.

Therefore, those jailers did not dare to neglect Mrs. Xing, and arranged for her a separate cell, even Wang Shanbao's family, which she was used to, had been serving her all the time.

Others were not so lucky. The men and women of Jia's family, except Jia's mother who was old, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, were in the prison of the Ministry of punishment, and the rest were in the prison temple.The cells on the Prison Temple side are also tight, so Mrs. Wang, Youshi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and other female relatives have one cell, and Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Jia Qiang and other males have one cell.The rest of the tribe and servants were also detained according to different circumstances.

Those maids in the Jia family who are like the vice-misses, the first-class girls are naturally not touched, because they don't know if there is a lawsuit behind them, so they still follow their respective masters, but those second-class and third-class girls in each house that have almost been investigated , servants, rough servants and so on have been pulled out and sold one after another.

Before, the Lin family sent people to send quilts so that they would not be frozen, but for these ladies, grandmas and ladies who are used to gold and jade, even the present day is similar to hell.

When Xing Xiuyan saw Mrs. Xing, she saw that Mrs. Xing was in good spirits, full of energy, and had a good appetite, but she was greedy. She was very excited when she saw the food box that Xing Xiuyan handed over:

"Amitabha! It can be regarded as a good meal."

The master and the servant didn't care much after receiving the food box, they just sat on the mat and started to gobble it up, which made Xing's wife and Xing Xiuyan feel sad.

After finally waiting for Mrs. Xing to finish eating, Mrs. Xing said:

"Eldest sister, our master asked me to ask elder sister, would you like to go home?"

go home?

Mrs. Xing was stunned at that moment.

She said, "Is this what Dequan meant?"

"Yes."

Mrs. Xing hesitated again and again, and finally said sadly: "If I am ten years younger, or if I can still have children, I will definitely go home with my siblings. But..."

Xing's wife was taken aback, and said: "It's still possible, sister, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Shanbao's family said: "Uncle and Madam, our wife has been tricked once."

For the details, Wang Shanbao's family couldn't bear to say.After all, it was just a fight in the inner house, the woman seized power, and finally killed Mrs. Xing.

Xing Xiuyan said: "Auntie, since this is the case, you should go home with us! Even if Auntie doesn't want to remarry in the future, parents are willing to provide for Auntie until the end of her life. And my younger brother. At worst, when he grows up, he will marry a daughter-in-law , adopt one in front of the eldest aunt!"

Mrs. Xing also nodded repeatedly.

Their Xing family originally climbed up from the dust. Others pay attention to what is there and what is not, but they don't care.

Mrs. Xing was very moved, but in the end she shook her head and refused.

She said: "Little brother has finally made it this far. If I go home with you, what if I implicate you?"

No matter what Xing's wife Xing Xiuyan said, Mrs. Xing just refused.

When leaving the Prison Temple, Xing's wife was very angry, and even hurriedly said to Xing Xiuyan before climbing into the carriage:

"Damn it! Girl, what do you think happened to your eldest aunt?"

Xing Xiuyan motioned slightly to the left and right, waited for Xing's wife to react, got into the car, and the car started to move, she said: "I think Eldest Aunt has noticed something."

"Then...then what are we going to do? See her in trouble?"

Mrs. Xing has also experienced a lot of things in the past year, so she knows that, like Mrs. Xing, it is very likely that she will be sent to the Jiaofang Division in the end.

If Mrs. Xing ended up like this, how would she face her husband?

Xing Xiuyan said: "Mother, my daughter thinks that we are going to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

They originally thought that they would talk to Mrs. Xing first. As long as Mrs. Xing was willing, they would find a way to get Jia She to write a letter to release his wife, and then go up and down to take Mrs. Xing home.

Of course, they would never dare to get involved in the affairs of the Jia family.

But seeing Mrs. Xing's appearance today, a thought flashed in Xing Xiuyan's mind, that is, this matter may not be so simple.

Xing Xiuyan's appearance successfully calmed down his mother.

On the third day after returning to Beijing, Mrs. Xing took her daughter Xing Xiuyan to the Ministry of Punishment.

Xing Zhong is a second-rank Shandong chief envoy, and he has been in Shandong for two consecutive years. Although he did not pass the imperial examination, it is impossible to go further into the cabinet to worship the minister, but everyone knows that he is the emperor's use. people.Therefore, the Ministry of Criminal Justice opened the door for convenience, not only did not let their mother and daughter blow the cold air outside, but instead asked the guards to welcome their mother and daughter into an empty room, and even sent a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice named Qi to entertain them.

Xing's wife and Xing Xiuyan understood seven or eight points at that time.

I'm afraid there is something really wrong here.

This member of Qi looked much older than Xing Zhong, and was also thinner. He had a fair face, a goatee, and a worn-out official uniform, which was very respectable.

After he invited Xing's wife and Xing Xiuyan to sit down, he apologized again and again:

"I'm sorry, too many people have been convicted in the past two years, and the prison cells of the Ministry of Criminal Justice have been filled. It has started to snow in the past two days, and there are also many people who have arranged for relatives and friends to send quilts and food. The Ministry of Criminal Justice has regulations. , so we can only wait for the person in front to leave before the two of you can visit inside. If there is anything missing, please also invite Madam and Junjun Haihan."

Xing Xiuyan exchanged glances with her mother, both said: "This is natural."

"Xiaguan thanked Mrs. Junjun for your understanding." The member of Qi laughed outside, "It's just that I'm very curious. Ordinary people stay away from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, let alone the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I don't know why Madam and the Junjun came here in person."

Xing's wife looked at her daughter, and then said: "Well, isn't this because I want to take our eldest sister home, so I need the elder Jia's handwriting to write a letter to my wife?"

Even if Mrs. Xing has no reason, if Jia Amnesty is willing to let his wife go, the Xing family can still get Mrs. Xing out if they work harder.

The members of Qi said: "Master Jia? But the former first-class Shenwei general? Ah, this matter is not easy!"

"Why is this?"

"He is the lord of the Rongguo Mansion, and the elder sister is the head wife of the Rongguo Mansion. This..."

Xing Xiuyan immediately said: "Your Excellency, what you said is not right. Who doesn't know that this Jia family is the most unruly family in Beijing! Although the grand master Jia She is the one who inherited the title of their family, but it is the younger brother who lives in the Rongxi Hall Jia Zheng, it is Jia Zheng Wang and his wife who are entertaining and entertaining, and Jia Zheng's wife Wang is also in charge of the inner house. On the contrary, this serious nobleman lived in a yard cut off from the back garden before building the Xingqin Villa The house, started to build the house for the family, and was moved to the side of the stable. My lord, look at this Beijing, who is as unruly as them?"

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"Of course it is true. Not only me, but also Sister Lin, the daughter of Mrs. Lin, the servant of the household department. When she first came to Beijing to visit her second uncle and second aunt, she also went directly to the Rongxi Hall to the Rongxi Hall. He passed the main hall. Thinking that Jia Zheng was only a fifth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, you said, what is the reason that people have to pass by the main hall of Rongxi Hall when they see him? Is it because he lives in Rongxi Hall? In Jubilee Hall, is there no way to avoid it?"

It's not wrong for Jia Amnesty to be a prince and not live in the main hall of Rongxi Hall.Because the Rongxi hall is regulated by the Duke of the state, it is indeed inconvenient for him to live in it, which is only a first-class general.

But Jia Zheng's rank is not as high as that of Jia She. Jia She didn't live in the Rongxi Hall, but he did.Who is overstepping? !

Qi Yuanwai nodded, but said: "But such testimony does not prove anything."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "It turns out that what your lord wants is personal evidence! It's easy. I'll tell you two things. It's not in Jia She's hands to keep the seal that proves that the Rongguo Mansion represents the lord of the Rongguo Mansion. In the hands of my younger brother Jia Zheng."

"Oh? I'd like to hear about it."

Xing Xiuyan said: "I don't know if my lord knows that the female family members of the Rongguo Mansion have done two illegal things, one is champerty lawsuits, and the other is lending usury."

Qi Yuanwai said: "Yes, these are indeed the two major crimes of the Rongguo Mansion."

"Your Excellency is the old criminal department. You know this matter better than me, a half-old child. The ability to do these two things is nothing more than grasping the posts of the Rongguo Mansion. This is my adoptive father, Mr. Lin, the servant of the household department, who inquired about it." In the old days, my adoptive father used this to teach me and my sister, so I remember it very clearly. It is said that the second wife in that mansion has been using the posts in that mansion all the year round to arrange lawsuits and lend loan sharks. Later, her daughter came to Jin At the critical moment of her position, she didn't do it, and the matter was transferred to her niece, who is my aunt's daughter-in-law."

"But this should be a rumor."

"It's not rumors, there are witnesses."

"Is there any witnesses?"

"Yes. There is an old nun named Jingxu in Shuiyue Temple. She once begged to come to their mansion for a case. The time should be around the time of the funeral of the daughter-in-law who disappeared in Ningguo Mansion. It is said that she first begged according to the usual practice. The second wife came to him, not wanting her to not pick it up, but instigated her money-grubbing niece to pick it up, and asked the Qing guest raised in their house to write a letter to Jiedu envoy Yun Guang in the name of my cousin. , closed the case, and ended up killing two lives, a man and a woman, and I heard that they got so much in the end.”

Xing Xiuyan stretched out three fingers to make a comparison.

Member Qi said, "300 taels?"

"They think so? It's 3000 taels."

As an old player, Xing Xiuyan remembers what Wang Xifeng said to Jingxu frankly.

Qi Yuanwai said: "Who are the two lives and what are they for? Does the county lord know?"

"I remember that girl's name is Brother Zhang Jin, and she said it was for marriage, and there were other bastards such as a daughter and two families. The foster father said vaguely that day. However, there are many criminal investigators in the Ministry of Justice. That's the end of the matter." It's been four or five years, and I can't hide it from the eyes of the adults in the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Qi Yuanwai immediately cupped his hands: "Jun Jun laughed."

Sitting behind the screen is the knife and pen official, who has written down all these contents.

He asked again: "How much do you know about loan sharks?"

"I know more about loan sharks. The second wife of their family has been engaged in loan sharks for a long time, and the person in charge of this is her companion Zhou Rui. Later, if she didn't do it, she transferred I gave it to her niece, but it was Zhou Rui who was in charge of dealing with the rogues on the back streets of Ningrong Street. I went to stay at their house that year, but I heard their girl whispering in private that the monthly payment was late After inquiring, I found out that Wang Xifeng released the monthly money, because the interest money was not collected, so the monthly money of their family was late that month. I heard the girl said that Wang Xifeng only got [-]% of the interest money. It's just because the capital is large, and the income is thousands of silver a year. I don't know if it's true or not. But how much interest is charged outside, the adults just send someone to the back street of Ningrong Street to find a rogue named Ni Jingang Ni Er knows exactly how much interest they charge and who they send it to."

Hearing that, the members of Qi were stunned again.

Even a girl living here like Xing Xiuyan has heard of it, which shows that she is rampant.

He said with a little embarrassment: "The Junjun knows it clearly."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Isn't it hoped that the Ministry of Punishment will investigate carefully? If it is not investigated carefully, with the method of the second wife, I am afraid that my aunt will be charged for this crime, and even my aunt will I was framed! If it wasn't for my eldest aunt, would my father grow up in peace? Where would I be without my father? Now I can only hope that the court can handle things impartially, and that the adults in the Ministry of Punishment can enforce the law It’s like a mountain. There is only a joint trial by the three divisions, and only if you adults don’t let go of any clues, can you find the real person behind the scenes. I can also take my aunt home, don’t you think?”

Qi Yuanwai is also an old official for many years, so he naturally knows what to do.

"In this case, I would like to ask the Junjun to sign and draw a pledge."

The knife and pen official immediately took out the transcript.

"I brought the seal. The seal of the third-ranking county should be more effective, right?"

"The Jun Jun really understands people. Then there is trouble."

Xing Xiuyan checked the contents of the transcript, sealed it, and then went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment under the leadership of a small official.
