Reform from Jia She

Jia Lian frowned and killed someone, which is no small matter.

"The two sisters-in-law of your natal family are here to ask the second uncle to help Xue Wen get rid of the crime?"

He remembered an incident. Last year, someone in the imperial court played a role as a rehabilitated member. Cousin Lin’s husband was one of the former members who were dismissed. Uncle Lin wrote a letter to that Mr. Jia, asking Mr. Jia to come to Beijing to find him. Second uncle.

Although Jia Lian had never met this Mr. Jia, with the help of his second uncle, this Mr. Jia had gone to Jinling to serve as the magistrate.

The four families of King Xue of Jia Shi have their roots in Jinling, and they are also the most powerful families in Jinling. If his second uncle writes to Jinling, and if the Wang family comes forward, three of the four families of King Xue of Jia Shi will be involved. The master Jia Yucun had just recovered and would never dare to offend the powerful family in Jinling, so it was obvious that Xue Pan would be exonerated.

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Wang Xifeng was silent. Even though she could speak eloquently, she had nothing to say to Jia Lian at this moment.

"I'll see my second uncle." Seeing Wang Xifeng's guilty conscience, what else does Jia Lian not understand?

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly grabbed Jia Lian, "Second Lord, are you going to stop Second Uncle from helping Cousin Xue get rid of the crime?"

If he spoke out to stop him, he might offend the Xue family and the Wang family.

Now that the Wang family has sent people over, Wang Ziteng's attitude is already in front of his eyes. Wang Ziteng has just been promoted to the control of nine provinces, and he has just received the imperial edict to leave the capital and check the border. He will leave Beijing next month.

Jia Lian patted Wang Xifeng's hand, "It's okay, I'm just going to ask for details."

Even if he wants to kill relatives righteously, it will not be his turn, but Wang's family is leaving Beijing, and Xue Pan's family is going to live in their house. Divide face.

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't intend to turn his back on him, Wang Xifeng heaved a sigh of relief and stopped him no longer.

When Jia Lian arrived at Jia Zheng's study, Jia Zheng had just sealed the letter. When he saw Jia Lian coming in, he said, "Why is Lian'er here?"

"I've heard about the Xue family's cousin, what's going on?"

Jia Zheng frowned and said, "People from the Wang family said that when Wen Qi bought a girl, he had an argument with someone and beat her up. Who knew that she died a few days after she was carried back. The deceased There is no one in the family, but the servants of the deceased's family have sued the government, just wanting money."

"Didn't you kill him directly?" When Jia Lian first heard what Wang Xifeng said, he thought he was killed on the spot, but it wasn't?

Jia Zheng shook his head, "If someone is killed on the spot, no matter how arrogant Wen Qi is, he won't be able to get away so easily. I have already written a letter to Shi Fei. He has just taken office in Jinling, so let him handle this matter."

Jia Lian hesitated to speak, but swallowed the words.

Although he has become an official now, he is still fledgling after all, and it is not his turn to decide this matter.

When they got back to the house, Wang Xifeng was still looking at the accounts, and when he saw Jia Lian coming back, he asked, "How is it?"

"The newly appointed magistrate of Jinling was recommended by the second uncle through his relationship. The second uncle has already sent a letter to that adult to let him handle it."

There is basically no suspense about this matter.

The sufferer is just a nobody with no power and no power. When you meet a family like the Xue family, the gap between them is like an ant and an elephant, and you can be trampled to death with one foot.

Wang Xifeng is not stupid at all, she knew what was tricky when she heard this, "Second Lord...is you in a bad mood?"

Jia Lian sighed and sat down beside him, "Now I say I am the number one scholar in the new department, but in fact, what I say in the mansion doesn't matter at all, so I can overwhelm these servants." Facing his second uncle, he still didn't make the decision There is no room for it, unless one day his official power is higher than that of all the Jia family, the Jia family is his decision.

Today's incident made Jia Lian quite frustrated, and he couldn't help feeling somewhat ambitious. If... he could win the emperor's favor like Wang Ziteng, would he be able to say what he said today?

It was said that Wang Xifeng somewhat understood Jia Lian's pain. After all, Jia Lian was the legitimate heir of the Rongguo Mansion, but most of the servants in the mansion flattered Baoyu.

If it hadn't been for Jia Lian's own efforts and won the first prize in the examination, this picker would not know how to abuse him.

"Second master is a talented person. He won the first prize in his early twenties, or won three prizes in a row. How many people are there in the world? Second master will be named a marquis and minister sooner or later, so don't be so discouraged."

Wang Xifeng truly believed that Jia Lian would one day be able to become a marquis and worship minister. None of the children of the Jia family and Jia Lian's generation could compare with Jia Lian. Jia Lian's inability to be the lord of Rongguo Mansion today does not mean that he will not be able to in the future.

One day, this Rongguo Mansion will belong to Jia Lian and her.

Although Jia Lian was not comforted, Wang Xifeng's trust in him was very useful to him.

"I'll go to the study to read for a while." When you're bored, you can only relieve your depression by reading a book.

His art of war has yet to be fully understood.

After that day, Jia Lian's life became more and more fulfilling. Except when he was on duty in the Imperial Academy, he spent the rest of his time reading military books. Wang Xifeng saw him reading books in the study room for a whole day more than once, and he became more and more sure that Jia Lian would have a future.

In this world, those who work hard may not necessarily be successful, but those who don't work hard will definitely not be successful.

It was just over half of June, which coincided with Jia Shezhi's birthday. Since it was not a birthday celebration, there was no big celebration, only a family banquet, and because the old lady liked to watch operas, she invited a troupe to sing.

When the moon was out, Jia Lian came back from the Imperial Academy that day. He didn't want to see Wang Xifeng in the room, even Ping'er was not there. In the past, Wang Xifeng was in the room at this time, why is there no one?

After calling someone to ask, Jia Lian found out that Xue's family had arrived today and had moved to Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner. Now that the Xue family moved here to live, I'm afraid they won't leave in the future.

After further questioning, I realized that it was Jia Zheng's decision.

What do you mean Xue Pan is young, living outside for fear that someone will have trouble, it is cheaper to live in their house.

This is true, the Xue family may be a tyrant in Jinling, but when it comes to the capital, it is not a place where Xue Pan can do whatever he wants. A few lives are not enough to die.

Jia Lian's expression was dark, and he asked the boy to step back, and called his confidants, Zhao Wu and Zhao Quan, to come.

Zhao Wu and Zhao Quan are the two sons of Jia Lian's nanny, and they grew up together with Jia Lian since childhood. Since Jia Lian started studying, these two nanny brothers Jia Lian also cultivated them with intentions, and now it's time to come in handy.

"I've given you a task. During the time Xue's cousin Xue Pan lives in our house, you keep an eye on him, and come back to me if there is any movement."

"Yes, Second Master."

Zhao Wu and Zhao Quan were a little excited. Although they had always been deeply trusted by Jia Lian, Jia Lian had never sent them to do anything for so long. Have you finally remembered them now?

When the Zhao brothers left, Jia Lian was still sitting in the room thinking.

Since hearing about Xue Pan's beating to death in May, Jia Lian has always been very displeased with this cousin. He originally wanted to send someone to Jinling to investigate the cause of the incident, but he still didn't do so. After all, he is now The foundation is still shallow, and it is not guaranteed that the matter he sent someone to investigate will be known to others. If it is known, he will not be able to explain it when the time comes.

It would be better to wait for Xue Pan and the others to arrive in the capital and keep an eye on him. As long as he behaves badly, even if he can't drive Xue Pan out of the house, he can still tell him to behave better and not cause trouble for their family.

After all, no one in the Wang family is in the capital now, and the Xue family can only live in their house. If something happens to Xue Pan, the Rongguo Mansion will bear the brunt.

In the evening, Wang Xifeng came back from Rongqing Hall and told Jia Lian about Xue Baochai, the cousin of the Xue family. She is really a beauty, with elegant manners and dignified conduct.

"My aunt liked Baochai very much when she didn't see her before, but now that she has met the real person, she likes her even more. Baoyu is also very close to Baochai. Seeing what my aunt means, she intends to make Baochai and Baoyu a pair." Wang Xifeng Drinking tea, fanning the wind with a round fan in his hand, talking to Jia Lian.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows and said, "Baoyu likes Baochai very much?" If so, that would be the best.

Wang Xifeng didn't realize the deep meaning in Jia Lian's words, she was still praising Baochai for being a man, she only showed up in the house, and everyone had a good impression of her, but the time is still short, so I can't see anything for the time being, After a long time, if everyone still says that she is good, then this cousin of the Xue family will be really extraordinary, definitely not that ordinary person.

For Wang Xifeng's praise of Baochai, Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, didn't care at all, and didn't ask about Baochai.

"Did you see Xue Pan today? Did you ask about that girl?"

Wang Xifeng glared at him, "My wife is still watching. Can I ask such disappointing words? But I asked Ping'er to inquire. The servants of Xue's family who went to Beijing are all personal servants on weekdays. Those around Xue Pan, there is no People don’t know about this, Ping’er, tell me.”

Ping'er was guarding the door, and when she heard Wang Xifeng calling her, she came in to answer.

"I asked the people around Mr. Xue. I heard that the girl seller was a kidnapper. He sold the girl to the son of a country gentleman in Jinling, surnamed Feng. That Mr. Feng was a manly man. I fell in love with this girl, and wanted to buy it back to be a concubine. After discussing with the kidnapper for three days, I returned the money, but the kidnapper was not a good thing, and sold the girl to Uncle Xue the next day. The Feng family came to ask for someone At that time, they happened to collide with each other. Uncle Xue is used to be arrogant. He immediately beat up the girl and took the girl away forcibly. Death, and who knows if the servants of the Feng family deliberately refused to give medical treatment to delay the death of their little master and blackmail the Xue family's money."

The words are clear and clear, so it can be seen that they have really inquired about it seriously.

Jia Lian was well aware of Ping'er's ability, and what Wang Xifeng valued most was Ping'er by her side.
