[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

Daiyu's carriage did not arrive home, but just turned a corner after leaving the gate of the palace, and was stopped at Lin Jifeng's mansion. It was rare that not only Lin Jifeng did not go to Honglu Temple, but Lin Ruhai and Lin Rui were both here.

Daiyu vaguely hinted at the affairs in the palace, and carefully mentioned Jia Yucun. Lin Rui looked at Lin Ruhai and couldn't help frowning: "This Jia Yucun was originally a magistrate, but he lost his official position because of accepting bribes. Such a person, how could you Ask him to be your teacher?"

Lin Ruhai hesitated to speak: "He...Actually, the reason he was deprived of office was not because of accepting bribes."

"Why is that?" Lin Jifeng asked curiously while bringing Daiyu some snacks.

"He..." Thinking of the cause and effect, Lin Ruhai hesitated again, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Perhaps, I was also deceived by him. He is a distant relative of Min'er, and he came to join me after losing his official position. He told me that he was She was framed by the Zhen family."

"The Zhen family?" Daiyu held the pastry in her hand in a daze, grasping the key word tightly.

It was the first time Lin Rui heard this statement, and he couldn't help being a little interested: "Why did the Zhen family frame him?"

"Because of a girl." Lin Ruhai fell into deep thought, "the Zhen family has a distant relative named Zhen Shiyin, and his daughter is named Zhen Yinglian, who was abducted and sold when she was two or three years old. I couldn't think about it, so I became a Taoist priest, and Mrs. Zhen returned to her natal family. It is said that Mrs. Zhen's father has been forcing her daughter to remarry."

Lin Jifeng thought about the prosperity of the Zhen family over the years, and suddenly understood: "The Zhen family is a big family, and Mr. Zhen is the patriarch and the head of the clan branch. According to the law, if Zhen Yinglian comes back, the Zhen family is indeed obliged to raise her—— Could it be that Zhen Yinglian was involved in other stories later on?"

"That's right." Lin Ruhai sighed, "Jia Yucun was greatly favored by Zhen Shiyin when he was down and down, and later became an official, and he didn't forget to look for the little girl lost by Zhen's family. The news about the little girl, but he is a civil servant, it is inconvenient to leave his post without authorization, so he sent a letter to the second master of the Zhen family who was sitting on the guard at the time, asking him to save her, but it didn't come to fruition, not only did the Zhen family fail to save her. The child, instead, immediately imprisoned him in the name of accepting bribes."

"The Zhen family? Garrison?" Lin Rui's eyes couldn't help but deepen. "The Zhen family is a scholarly family, and there is only one garrison. It is Zhen Hai, the younger brother of Zhen Taifu Zhenqing. He used to be a fifth-rank garrison on the border of Guangxi."

"That's right." Lin Ruhai smiled wryly.

Daiyu listened to her father and uncle coming and going, but felt inexplicable, Lin Jifeng quickly explained to her: "If it is the border of Guangxi, or the relatively turbulent years, I am afraid that the little girl of the Zhen family was abducted to a foreign slave market. .”

"Slave market?" Daiyu couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief. It was hard for her to imagine that there was such a dark business in the prosperous world.

"I've seen these human trafficking, three words, inhumane. Many young boys and girls are chained like livestock, and if they are more ruthless, they will be branded, which will not fade away for a lifetime." Lin Jifeng I can only smile wryly, "But those who do this kind of business are generally those barbaric and uncivilized foreigners who only operate in the 'no matter' zone at the border. In addition, buying and selling slaves is a tradition in their tribe, and they are indeed very Don’t buy and sell Han people. Therefore, border guards have always turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.”

Lin Ruhai sighed and continued: "Not to mention whether the rash departure of the border guards will cause resistance from foreigners, if the Zhen family has a daughter bought from the slave market, the reputation of their family's girls will be damaged; In addition, the Zhen family had just been reused at that time, and under the prestige, it was inevitable that there would be some grassroots soldiers, and they were afraid that Jia Yucun would come and threaten them with this, so they simply acted first."

Daiyu opened her eyes and listened to all this with trepidation. For the first time in her two lives, she knew that there was such a thrilling and terrifying story behind the always kind Mr. Yucun.

"If that's the case, it makes sense." Lin Jifeng suddenly picked up the handle of the fan and shook it in his hand, his handsome eyebrows were slightly raised, and his smile was half a smile, "But he was accused of taking bribes, and bribery cannot be faked. Bar?"

"It's not just corruption and bribery, it's also a search for people's fat and people's anointing." Lin Rui added lightly.

Lin Jifeng concluded: "These crimes don't seem to be easy to weave - if he is really affectionate and righteous enough to not forget to search for the daughter of his old benefactor for many years, he shouldn't be such an asshole to such an outrageous level? And, ah, Since I know that Mrs. Zhen's life is difficult, even if I can't do anything else, it's still okay to donate some property in the name of repaying gratitude, right?"

Lin Ruhai lowered his eyes: "I also doubted it. So, a few years ago, he begged me to contact the two uncles to restore his official position, but I didn't agree. He begged me several times later, and seeing that I always refused, he resigned himself. Now, I don't know where he is."

Although Daiyu didn't quite understand it yet, she was finally relieved to hear that her father had not recommended Jia Yucun.The jade hand caressed her chest slightly, as if she was trying to calm her breathing.

"Yu'er, don't go to the palace for a few days." Lin Ruhai suddenly said to Daiyu, "Go back to the mansion to rest first, and don't go out for a few days. At the princess's place, Jifeng will ask someone to ask for leave for you."

"Father?" Daiyu looked at the stern-faced uncle and Lin Jifeng who was smiling and waving his fan, and only then did she realize that the father, uncle and elder brother should have been discussing something, and they had already reached an agreement. some kind of consensus.

"Uncle, Uncle Ruhai, you talk, I will send Daiyu away." Lin Jifeng got up consciously, and took Daiyu home.

Coincidentally, on the way home, someone from the palace informed that the eunuch of the imperial dining room had crashed into a pillar with a blood book in his hand and died in Qinfangyuan. Princess Nongyue was frightened and closed the door to recuperate, so that Miss Lin did not have to go back to the palace.Although the visitor didn't explain the contents of the blood book clearly, but thinking of Nongyue's swearing, what did Daiyu still not understand?

Daiyu was very silent along the way, until she got off the sedan chair at home, the corners of her beautiful brows were still slightly frowned, Lin Jifeng looked amused, and couldn't help but lead Daiyu back to the study, comforting: "Don't be afraid, this matter In fact, it has nothing to do with our family."

"Brother, who is it that actually laid out such a sophisticated scheme?" Daiyu once again thought of the many traps, and was frightened again.

Lin Jifeng folded his hands, raised his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about how to say: "Sister, do you think this is a 'one' game?"

"Isn't it?" Daiyu asked back, blinking her eyes and frowning.

Lin Jifeng couldn't help but shook his head amusedly: "If there is really someone who can set up such a vast and meticulous scheme, then the people in the entire capital should stop playing, and obediently bow down at his feet to save their lives."

"What do you mean brother?"

"The bigger the layout, the more omissions. Therefore, the counselors from ancient times to the present have always only made small invisible tricks at some hidden key points. Even so, there is still a saying that one hundred secrets and one sparse !"

Daiyu looked at Lin Jifeng's crooked eyebrows with a smile, and seemed to understand: "The rumors about sister Yuanchun in the palace have already involved the imperial dining room... and Nongyue, the imperial dining room is managed by Mrs. Zhen Zhaorong... What does brother mean? , This is not a game set up by a single person, but many people, complicating things for their own purposes, some people are spreading rumors, but some people are just reusing the rumors." I have hooked up with Nongyue before, Daiyu did not reveal the agreement between Xiao Ruofan and Nongyue.

However, thinking that her brother was supplying medicine to the palace, Daiyu still reminded vaguely: "Brother, I also heard from Nongyue that there are many eunuchs and maids in the palace... There are even imperial doctors helping them..."

"Don't worry, your brother and I won't fall into the same thing twice. The people who watch the excitement will always be part of the excitement. It is very difficult for the snipe and the clam to fight for the fisherman's profit, but fishing in troubled waters is likely to be punished by the law." Everyone." After understanding Daiyu's prompt, Lin Jifeng shook his fan meaningfully, "Someone is envious of the high position of the concubine Xian, and I don't know where to find out that she once pretended to be a little eunuch and went to Qinfang Courtyard to look for you, and then used this to find you." It's because of your elder sister Yuanchun, that's why there are all kinds of messy rumors. However, this matter will be exposed through the imperial dining room, but it is her handwriting."

"Brother is sure?" Daiyu bit her lip in confusion.

"Those eunuchs who took your elder sister Yuanchun to find you, do you really think they are Concubine Shu?" Lin Jifeng suddenly asked with a smile.

"It is said that Concubine Shu killed her with a cane, but..." Daiyu felt very strange. If it was true, it would be too hasty to kill and silence her. Aren't you afraid of being suspected by others?

"At that time, the harem was still in the hands of the imperial concubine. Besides, the one who most wanted you to go out of the palace to find your grandmother and uncle was the imperial concubine."

"Brother, what I mean is that those people were let in by the imperial concubine—no, the people may have been let in by the imperial concubine, but the one who killed the murder afterwards must be the empress..." When it comes to the word "killing", Daiyu could only feel a slight trembling between her lips and teeth. Even though she was a human being in two lifetimes, she was a delicate young lady who was raised in a deep boudoir. Life in the palace was fleeting, but to her, it was still a bit cruel.

Lin Jifeng nodded approvingly: "You guessed right. This also proves that the one who poured dirty water on your sister Yuanchun this time, and even made trouble in the imperial dining room, is definitely not the imperial concubine."

Daiyu was a little bit suspicious, and then she covered her handkerchief and suddenly realized: That's right, Concubine Zhou was in a hurry to kill people to silence her, obviously she wanted to expose this matter as soon as possible.But now that the imperial concubine is implicated in the private affairs, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. Once it is found out that the noble concubine framed the concubine Shu, not to mention the issue of overturning the old account, this time the evil deed of "framing the name of the virtuous concubine" will definitely be recorded To the head of the imperial concubine.

"Actually, if I were Concubine Shu, if someone made such a nasty trip, I would definitely retaliate." Lin Jifeng blinked and smiled suggestively.

In other words, the one who made a big fuss through the imperial dining room was probably Concubine Shu?Sister Yuanchun is just incidental, her real purpose is to fight back against Concubine Zhou?

"If what brother said is true, Concubine Shu used the rumors to fight back against Concubine Gui... Then, who is the one who spread the rumors?" Daiyu asked with a frown, suppressing the panic in her heart.

"How do I know this? I'm not a god! I guessed what happened to Concubine Shu, so don't take it seriously." Lin Jifeng laughed and shook his head, "I only know that the eunuch in the imperial kitchen handed over the blood book, your sister Yuanchun I must hate Zhen Zhaorong. The Zhen family and the Jia family have been friends for generations, but now it's like this, tsk tsk, what a pity!"

Who is responsible for this disgusting rumor, I am afraid that except for the culprit, everyone else is at a loss; however, this does not prevent everyone from using this rumor to achieve their desired goals.

Daiyu didn't understand what was going on in the hall, and Lin Jifeng didn't intend to explain it in detail.Now the role played by the Jia family is no longer an ally or teammate of any party, but the battlefield itself.Ups and downs require a sky to rely on. When you sing and I come on stage, you always need a venue for the melons, fruit, peels, and even rotten eggs and cabbage gangs of rotten bricks for the people watching the theater; To be clearer, no matter whether one side wins in the end, or the tacit two-power confrontation continues, there will always be an excuse or cannon fodder for the dead ghost in the struggle, just like the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yunhua, who was dragged out The Lin family who defended the Xiao family and covered up the shame of the royal family.

It is indeed sad and ridiculous.The sad thing is that the Lin family didn't expect the Empress Dowager to make such a decision. What's ridiculous is that history repeats itself, but the Jia family has no sense of crisis. They even held a big banquet a few days ago to celebrate the first daughter of the second wife, Jia Yuanchun. soaring.

Exactly, the joy of Ronghua is just right, and the hatred of impermanence comes again.I just left everything behind, wandering around and consuming my soul.

In the palace, the concubine who had just been canonized as a second-rank concubine was rumored to have an affair with an eunuch. The Supreme Emperor and the emperor were furious, and immediately demanded a thorough investigation by the whole palace.

In fact, there were signs of this rumor before, just because if this matter was investigated clearly, no matter what the outcome would be, the royal family would lose face, and concubine Xian was pregnant, so Yun Shuo only sent out some spies.

Who would have imagined that someone was so bold that he threatened to die before the Princess of the Moon, the fig leaf was torn away, and the royal family members who became angry and seldom got together and vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Yuanchun's Fengzao Palace was surrounded by a group of Ouchi guards, Yuanchun changed from confinement to confinement, needless to say all kinds of fears.

How can Yuan Chun say that she is also the daughter of a fifth-rank official, who was brought up in the Duke's mansion, how could she really develop a relationship with a eunuch?It's true that they have a good relationship, but that eunuch is one of the chief eunuchs in charge of the inner court department, who in the palace is not to please?Not to mention a seventh-rank female official, I'm afraid that the Shang Palaces of the Shang Palace Bureau would not dare to offend him easily, right?

As for asking him to take him into Qinfang Courtyard, it was only because Lin Jifeng was in prison at that time, and Yuan Chun was worried about his sister, so he acted recklessly for a while.Afterwards, Yuan Chun escaped unharmed, thinking that the emperor was protecting her, but only now did Yuan Chun realize that he had taken advantage of someone else's trap and almost harmed Sister Lin.

——The above is the only excuse Yuan Chun can give. In the dark inner hall, the poor Yuan Chun clutched his slightly raised stomach, facing the expressionless Si Yao, Yuan Chun could only curl up on the bed, thinking for himself Pray silently.

However, people’s wish was not fulfilled, and before the news of liberation from confinement came, a thunderbolt from the blue sky came: Someone came to report that Jia Jiazheng ordered Mrs. Shi Tai to enter the palace, and cried in front of Zhou Guifei that Zhen Zhaorong framed the virtuous concubine, just because Jia The Zhen family has mastered the secret of the Zhen family - exactly what Jia Yucun said, the Zhen family sat by and watched Zhen Shiyin's daughter Zhen Yinglian live in a foreign land, and even poisoned the insider!

The author has something to say: woo woo woo, this is from yesterday. I smoked JJ last night, so I can’t post it, so I’ll post it after class today~

Let's write today's first update after dinner, meow is starving to death, get out~

Zhen Yinglian is Xiangling, and I have never tampered with this fact. As for Mr. Yucun's "awe-inspiring righteousness"...do you believe it?

The following is a small explanation of Gongdou~

This incident is not directly related to the last incident of Lin Jifeng's imprisonment, it's just that someone took advantage of Jia Yuanchun's friendship with the little eunuch to pour dirty water on her.

This dirty water has basically spread, but because everyone wants to use it, everyone should not know it before the riot.

The person who splashed the dirty water is the black hand A behind the scenes, and the biggest suspect is Zhen Zhaorong or Shi Zhaoyi.

It was not Concubine Zhou who made trouble in the imperial dining room, but Concubine Li Shu, who intended to send eunuchs to Qinfang Court in her name before taking revenge on Concubine Zhou. The manpower sent by the imperial concubine.

If the matter of the imperial dining room is brought up, the palace will of course have to investigate thoroughly, which is not good for Yuan Chun, but even more bad for Concubine Zhou.Because she needs to find witnesses, it is inevitable that she will find out the truth about her framed Concubine Li Shu last time, and this time she will be accused of pouring dirty water on Concubine Xian, because she has always been in charge of the harem and has placed people in the imperial dining room Easy as pie.

Nongyue knew about this not because she was smart, but because...haven't everyone seen the role Nongyue played in the harem?If Concubine Zhou Guifei and Concubine Zhou Huang Taigui are the grasshoppers tied to the harem by the Supreme Emperor, then Nongyue is a gun used by the emperor to fight back and provoke troubles!Don't say that the emperor doesn't love daughters, Nongyue is not his daughter, but his niece ╮(╯▽╰)╭

As for why the emperor did this, because the only object the emperor wanted to attack was Concubine Zhou!He has conflicts with the Supreme Emperor, he lacks power, but now the only one who has the power to rebel and can find an excuse to rebel is Su Wang, who is supported by the Zhou family. As an emperor, he can bear his anger, but he must not let the chair under his butt be threatened .

As for why the Supreme Emperor didn't help the Zhou family, because he is also afraid of the old man. The Zhou family still has King Su, so it is impossible to support him as the "first emperor". To cause trouble for the Zhen family, it is impossible for the emperor to become one, and he still has time to adjust the distribution of power.
