After the Gu of the Red Chamber
Chapter 30
Lin Ruhai really had a headache because of the secret documents in his hands. The Zhen family also found a different way, and even thought of using women's sex to control officials from all over the place.
On the surface, they were giving away their adopted daughters. It would be best if the officials were obedient. If they were not obedient, the Zhen family would occasionally threaten her with her adopted daughter's true identity.
In the secret documents of the Zhen family, the true identities of each adopted daughter are recorded in detail. Some are the daughters of ordinary families, some are daughters of rich families, and some... are actually the children of officials and eunuchs, either concubine or concubine, And how was it stolen by the servants at home... Wait.
This secret document can be said to be the information that all the adopted daughters of the Zhen family want most. It can help them find their way home, but at the same time, once this secret document is revealed, it will be a disaster for many families.
Lin Ruhai, who is also a scholar, understands how much scholars attach importance to reputation. My daughter can die or get sick, but she can't be abducted, and she can't be brought into low status, not to mention that many people are prestigious officials in the court.
If this secret document is revealed, I am afraid that half of the court will be in chaos for a while, and he, the instigator, may be hated, but if it is not revealed...
Lin Ruhai patted the secret document and sighed, "Zhen Yingjia! Zhen Yingjia! You really dug a big hole for me!"
It was a matter of hundreds of families, and Lin Ruhai couldn't make up his mind, he pondered for a while, and finally put away the secret documents first, anyway, the Zhen family was created by Emperor Pingkang, so it's better to leave this ass to the Holy One.
It only took three days to search the house, but it took half a month to calculate the Zhen family property. Facing the final calculated Zhen family property, Shi Ding also stayed for a long time, admiring: "How did Zhen Yingjia get so much money?" ?”
That day, it was just a rough move out of the Zhen family's things to take a look, which was enough to surprise people. I never expected that after actuarial calculations, the Zhen family's property was so huge that it was unimaginable. With so much money, it was no longer It can be obtained through corruption.
He is also an official himself, so he naturally understands that the only way officials earn money is that, but even if he works hard to earn it, it would be good if he can save tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. I dare not even think about it.
There is a popular saying in official circles, small wealth depends on greed, and great wealth depends on earning; if you want so much money, you can't get it through greed, you still have to rely on earning. Although Shi Ding is an expensive general with countless soldiers under his command, Because he had to support so many people, Shi Ding was also short of money, and often demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. Seeing that the Zhen family could earn so much money, he immediately became curious about the way the Zhen family made money.
Out of curiosity, Shi Ding asked directly.
Lin Ruhai didn't hide his secrets, he said leisurely: "This Zhen family is not ordinary and bold!"
Seeing that Shi Ding still didn't understand, Lin Ruhai simply deciphered the secret, "Do you remember the reason why the abolished prince was abolished?"
The reason why the abolished prince was abolished is naturally inseparable from the Holy Majesty. The older the Holy Majesty, the less energetic he is, but the greater his desire for power. If he holds power and refuses to let go, it is inevitable that he will be young and strong at that time. The prince who also has a certain reputation in the court confronts him.
However, the prince is the cornerstone of the country. No matter how dissatisfied the prince is with the prince, it is impossible to change the prince rashly. , it is impossible for other ministers to agree.
The reason why the prince was abolished was mainly related to the flood in the Jianghuai area that year. There was a sudden flood in the Jianghuai area and the embankment collapsed. I don’t know how many people were drowned in their sleep and displaced. Not only ordinary people died, but also many local officials, and the entire Jianghuai area was suddenly out of order.
Back then, the Holy Majesty was also considered to be Qingming. As soon as he learned of the flood in the Jianghuai River, he immediately sent the abandoned prince to relieve the disaster. But there was something wrong with the relief money, and most of the relief money disappeared.
At that time, it was the worst time to seize the heir. Many people thought that the abolished crown prince had embezzled disaster relief money to buy officials, but after a long time it was the Zhen family's good deed. The poor abolished crown prince was innocently abolished and is still locked up In Yuqing Palace.
Of course, what the Zhen family is greedy for is not only disaster relief money. Apart from disaster relief money, the Zhen family also spends money on salt and iron taxes. Let the Holy One notice a thing or two.
It's no wonder that Zhen Yingjia chose to commit suicide. Based on what he did, Ling Chi would be taken lightly.
Besides, as far as Lin Ruhai knew, although the Holy Majesty abolished the prince, the abolished prince was raised by the Holy Majesty after all, and his feelings were different from other princes, and it was probably caused by the mentality that the new is not as good as the old, and people are not as good as the old. These years, the Holy Majesty misses him more and more To depose the crown prince, if you let the sage know that the events of the year were created by the Zhen family, it would be no wonder that Zhen Yingjia would not be hacked by thousands of knives.
Shi Ding was taken aback, "The new crown prince does not seem to have colluded with the Zhen family."
This time they made those poor women Dengwengu move so smoothly, the new crown prince was also responsible for it, if not for the new crown prince kneeling in the court, there would not be so many ministers who agreed to severely punish the Zhen family.
Of course, in order to get the new crown prince to kneel down, he also promised a lot of benefits, but if the new crown prince colluded with the Zhen family, there is no reason why he would agree to his request.
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the existence of the Fifth Prince?"
The Zhen family is not a fool, how could the fifth prince, who has the blood of the Zhen family, help the other princes instead of helping them.
Speaking of which, the Zhen family also made a mistake, they managed to pull down the deposed prince, but before they had time to push the fifth prince up, the Holy Majesty picked the fourth prince first, which made it cheaper for the fourth prince who had no involvement in the matter of seizing the heir.
Shi Ding suddenly realized, and his face straightened, "This is not a trivial matter."
Although the Holy Majesty appointed the fourth prince as the new prince, in terms of prestige and status, the new prince is really far from the deposed prince; After the facts, he still has some prestige in the court, and all officials are happy to submit to him.
As for the new crown prince, his biological mother is just a low-status court lady, and she will lose her child as soon as she gives birth, so she can't help at all. Liu, although the adopted son was established as the crown prince, he has not even obtained a concubine position so far, which shows how much the Holy One doesn't care about Concubine An.
The fourth prince's mother's family is not obvious, even his wife's family is mediocre, and his talent is only mediocre among the princes. Even he doesn't understand why the Holy One made the fourth prince the crown prince.
To be honest, the fourth prince's only advantage is probably obedience.
No matter how you look at it, the new prince and the deposed prince are completely incomparable. If people know that the deposed prince was framed by the Zhen family, I'm afraid... there will be another storm in the court.
Shi Ding and Lin Ruhai looked at each other, and immediately understood each other's embarrassment.
As His Majesty's confidantes, they should naturally follow in His Majesty's footsteps, but to hide this matter, it's really a bit...
Shi Ding sighed, "It's really difficult!"
Lin Ruhai sighed slightly and stopped talking.
Shi Ding is a smart man, he didn't ask Lin Ruhai's plan, he just started gossiping, "Speaking of which, the Zhen family was really off the hook, and they finally pulled down the deposed prince, which would be an advantage to others."
Tsk!Tsk!This Zhen Yingjia is really unlucky. The fifth prince's biological mother Zhen Guifei is so favored, and she has the Zhen family's money to open the way, so she can still lose to the fourth prince who has nothing. It can be seen that it is really the retribution of the Zhen family's bad deeds. .
Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, but he didn't tell Shi Ding that if he could pull down the prince once, he could pull down the second time. The Zhen family planned to pull down the new prince again, so they kept Tuli, Zhen Yingjia's brain For some reason, she even planned to dedicate Tu Lijin to the new prince, and then looked for another opportunity to reveal Tu Li's life experience.
Tu Li and the new crown prince are cousins. If the new crown prince accepts Tu Li, it will be a mess of human relations. A crown prince who has a bad reputation and has no achievements in the court, the arrangement of the Zhen family over the years, when the new crown prince No wonder it wasn't pulled down.
But the Zhen family really had a bit of bad luck, and something went wrong with Tu Li just before the action, it really is fate.
It was about the abolition of the crown prince. Although Lin Ruhai and Shi Ding avoided talking about it, the guards protecting Lin Ruhai still heard it.
The secret guards sent by Tu Lei to protect Lin Ruhai are naturally all loyal to the abolished prince. All these years, they have been thinking about helping the abolished prince leave Yuqing Palace. Once they know that the abolished prince was framed back then, they can still stay there. He hurriedly passed the matter to Xia Xingquan, who was far away in Beijing, and Tu Lei, who changed his name to Qin Jun.
Although there are many capable people under Prince Abandoned, the one he trusts the most is the mediocre Qin Ye. At the age of only six grades, it can be seen that his ability is really not good, but this person is really honest, and has been raising the concubine daughter of the deposed prince with trepidation all these years---Qin Keqing.
Moreover, all the upbringing money given to him by the abolished prince was used to raise Qin Keqing. Even though he was a shy eunuch, he never spent any money on himself.
Qin Keqing's food, clothing and chewing items are all the best on weekdays, and she also invited the mothers in the palace to teach her carefully. The demeanor of her body is definitely not worse than that of Daiyu and others. Don't brag about it, if it weren't for Qin Keqing's kindness, even with the name of the illegitimate daughter of the abolished prince, it would not be so easy for her to marry into the Ningguo Mansion.
When Qin Keqing got married, Qin Ye went bankrupt and purchased a dowry for her. All the things left by the abolished prince were given to Keqing as a dowry. Even Tu Lei admired such an honest and honest person.
The only downside is probably that the husband Qin Ye chose for Ke Qing was not very good. Jia Rong was just a playboy, several times more playful than the uncle, and his daily behavior was really absurd; and his father Jia Zhen was even more a licentious Shamelessly, seeing Jia Zhen looking at Ke Qing made Tu Lei feel sick.
But in terms of status and status, the Ningguo Mansion who dared to marry the daughter of the abolished prince was indeed the best choice Qin Ye could find at that time.
Goodbye to Keqing, Tu Lei was also slightly surprised. In the previous life, he and Keqing were twins, both descendants of the prince. The concubine daughter born to him, and several years older than him.
When Tu Lei arrived at the Qin family, Ke Qing was already married, and Qin Ye took care of his only son, Qin Zhong. As soon as he knew Tu Lei's identity, Qin Ye took Tu Lei in without saying a word, and arranged a Qin family for him. As a relative in his hometown, even Xia Xingquan became the second housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, taking care of Tu Lei as a matter of course.
Although Qin Zhong was a little dissatisfied with this "clan brother" who obviously took refuge with his father but received better treatment than him, but under the pressure of Qin Ye's stick, he had no choice but to endure it.
With Tu Lei's ability, naturally he didn't pay attention to Qin Zhong, a real child, but with a little trickery, he subdued Qin Zhong, obediently calling his elder brother not to mention it.
Just when Tu Lei started to walk as Qin Jun, he never expected to learn the truth about his father's dismissal from Lin Ruhai.
Upon learning of this, both Xia Xingquan and Qin Ye looked excited, "Little master! The Holy Majesty must know about this."
Xia Xingquan was so excited that he burst into tears. He knew that the crown prince was framed back then. If he knew that the crown prince was framed by the Zhen family, I believe the sage would definitely return the crown prince's innocence. Fang's returned to the palace.
Tu Lei shook his head, "It's not that simple."
Once the emperor and the courtiers, the fourth uncle has been established as the prince for so many years. It is not so easy to change the prince.
Qin Ye said in a low voice: "If it's about the new crown prince, it's definitely not a problem. The new crown prince hasn't made much achievements in court over the years, and he doesn't dare to make friends with courtiers at ordinary times. As long as this matter is revealed, there must be many old people who will support the restoration of the crown prince. .”
To put it bluntly, the new crown prince is just a decoration made by the Holy Majesty. Since it is a decoration, it can be removed at any time.
Tu Lei shook his head, "The problem is not with the fourth uncle, but with the emperor's grandfather."
He sighed and said: "With the temperament of the emperor's grandfather, would he be willing to admit that he was negligent in the past, so that the father was deposed innocently?"
His royal grandfather is not an ordinary good face.
Everyone was silent for a while.
What kind of shit is Emperor Pingkang? Everyone is an old man in Beijing, so naturally he can't understand it. With Emperor Pingkang's temperament, even if he knows the truth, it is really difficult for him to admit his fault.
Xia Xingquan said hoarsely after a long time: "Could it be possible to watch the prince suffer in Yuqing Palace like this?"
As a eunuch, he naturally knows a little more than others. The Holy Majesty's attitude is the attitude of everyone in the palace. There is no shortage of people in the palace who ponder the holy will. Because the abolished crown prince was rejected by the Holy Majesty. Over the years, the abolished The prince's life in Yuqing Palace was really not good, if it wasn't for Xia Dequan's care both openly and secretly, he might not be able to survive.
Thinking of the kind of suffering that the prince he raised with his own hands, Xia Xingquan really wanted to rush to Yuqing Palace and rescue the deposed prince. Finally, he had the hope of leaving the palace, but now the little master said that it would not be possible. , Xia Xingquan was so uncomfortable that he almost cried.
Tu Lei noticed the disappointed expressions of Xia Xingquan and Qin Ye, and sighed slightly, the two of them are loyal, but their brains...it seems to be a little bit worse.
He shook his head and said, "Instead of relying on the emperor's grandfather, it's better to rely on yourself."
Xia Xingquan and Qin Ye looked at each other, wondering how they could rely on themselves in this fatal situation?
He pondered: "No matter what happened to Lin Ruhai, he would never dare to hide this matter. On the contrary, the emperor's grandfather is afraid that this matter will be concealed. All we have to do is to uncover it!"
Take off the face of the imperial grandfather and force him to face the reality.
Tu Lei said with a smile: "Lao Dengwen Gu's trick is good." With Shi Ding's brain, he might not have imagined that this matter was Lin Ruhai's handwriting.
Xia Xingquan murmured: "Shall we go to Lao Dengwen Drum? Well, this old slave knows martial arts, so I'm not afraid of being boarded."
"No need! No need! Even if you want it, it shouldn't belong to us." Tu Lei hurriedly stopped him, fearing that the stubborn Xia Xingquan would really go to Deng Wengu.
"Oh." Xia Xingquan let out a disappointment.
Tu Lei wiped his sweat secretly, no wonder Grandpa Xia brought up his father single-handedly, but in the end it was his father who raised him.Grandpa Xia's mind is still too simple, he is a rare species in the palace, if not for his high strength value, and his brother Xia Dequan is the imperial grandfather's personal eunuch, he might not survive to leave the palace.
Qin Ye quickly asked: "Little master, how do you mean to uncover this matter?"
According to my little master, the problem with this matter lies with the sage, and the only solution now is to expose it directly, just like Zhen's family affairs, so that the sage has to face it, but this revealing method... …
Tu Lei said bluntly: "Although Zhen Yingjia is dead, the old lady Zhen is still alive. She is Zhen Yingjia's biological mother, and she was once the emperor's grandfather's nanny. Even if she committed a crime, she still has the emperor's respect. , it couldn’t be more suitable.”
By the way, let the emperor's grandfather take a look and see how shameless he raised him.
Qin Ye frowned slightly, "But will Mrs. Zhen listen to us?"
This old lady Zhen is not an ordinary person. She was able to protect the young Holy Majesty when she had no power or power. Even if she left the palace, she could still be respected by the Holy Majesty. It can be seen that she is very powerful after being cultivated, and it is not so easy to make such a woman obedient.
Tu Lei said coldly: "Old lady Zhen is quite old and has enjoyed everything. The only offspring she cares about, the third son of the Zhen family, is Zhen Yingjia, and her grandson is only Zhen Baoyu. As long as you find Zhen Baoyu, that's enough."
Qin Ye and Xia Xingquan nodded again and again. As the saying goes, the youngest son, eldest grandson, the treasure of the old lady, Zhen Yingjia is about to die, and the only thing that the old lady cares about is Zhen Baoyu.
But even Lin Ruhai couldn't find Zhen Baoyu when he went to sea to capture the documents, and they only had a few hidden guards in their hands. It was really not easy to find Zhen Baoyu.
Tu Lei smiled strangely, "Although Zhen Baoyu doesn't have one, Jia Baoyu does have one."
As long as they come from their life, it is impossible to forget the matter of Master Zhen Jia in Tantuo Temple.
For some reason, the elder brother who was born in the Rongguo Mansion was exactly the same as Zhen Baoyu from the Zhen family. Even his own family members almost admitted their mistakes, which was convenient for them.
Although Zhen Baoyu was allowed to escape, but because the case was so important, Lin Ruhai hastily compiled the Zhen family's belongings into a book, and personally escorted everyone in the Zhen family to Beijing for trial with Shi Ding.
Lin Ruhai and Shi Dingben were a little worried about Mrs. Zhen's health. After all, Mrs. Zhen was notoriously in poor health. I don't know how many times I sent the emergency documents to the capital when Mrs. Zhen was about to die. The two of them were also afraid that after Zhen Yingjia, Mrs. Zhen's hind legs would also disappear, and with the temper of the saint, it would be no wonder if they didn't eat a melon.
Then you know that the imperial doctor stayed by Mrs. Zhen's side for three whole days, and she didn't see anything wrong with Mrs. Zhen. Although she suffered from Zhen Yingjia's death for several days, she still tasted delicious, and she didn't feel comfortable at all. No.
Henceforth, the two of them were very sure, [-]% sure that Mrs. Zhen had been pretending to be sick before, in order to restrain Emperor Pingkang, so that the Holy Majesty could not bear to investigate the Zhen family.
Shi Ding couldn't help complaining: "Do you think this old lady Zhen knows about the good deeds her son has done?"
If you don't know, how could you pretend to be sick so cleverly before?If she knew about the lives of so many young girls, how could Mrs. Zhen pretend she didn't know anything and let Zhen Yingjia ruin those children?
He had been with those girls for a while, and his feelings were much deeper than Lin Ruhai's.He still remembers the two girls who were beaten to death in front of the Dengwen Drum. One is Zhen Qian and the other is Zhen Qin. .
Lin Ruhai also knew about the murder in front of Deng Wen's drum. He originally made the plan, but even he didn't expect that the Zhen family could be so vicious.
Thinking of the two girls who died in vain, he sneered and said, "How could you not know, it's just a muffled sound to make a fortune."
Besides, most of the adopted daughters of the Zhen family are married in the name of the adopted daughters of the Zhen family. After all, they are all granddaughters in name. Woolen cloth.
Lin Ruhai sighed slightly, in the final analysis, it was the Holy Majesty who favored the Zhen family too much, which raised the minds of these people.
The property of the Zhen family was easy to manage, but Zhen Yingjia's only son, Zhen Baoyu, could not be found no matter how hard he tried. Lin Ruhai even searched the home of Zhen Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Li, but Zhen Baoyu could not be found.
After inquiring about the members of the Zhen family, it was only then that Lin Ruhai found out that because Zhen Baoyu was lazy by nature and didn't like reading, she only liked to hang out with her older sisters on weekdays. Zhen Yingjia used the excuse of forcing her children to study, so she moved Zhen Baoyu to the front yard, and personally Teaching; and on the grounds that a loving mother has many losers, Li Shi and others were not allowed to visit, so even Li Shi didn't know that Zhen Yingjia had sent Zhen Baoyu away long ago.
For this matter, Zhen Er's couple and Zhen San's couple cursed Zhen Yingjia a lot.
Not only Zhen Yingjia has a son, they also have sons!Zhen Yingjia wanted to send her own son out, why didn't she send their son along with her?
Even though they are descendants of concubines and not born of Mrs. Zhen, they are both of the Zhen family's bloodline, so how can they treat each other more favorably than others!
Third Lord Zhen beat his heart secretly. After what happened to Zhen Li, Zhen Yingjia originally wanted to separate the family in a fit of anger, but Third Master Zhen was greedy for the power of the Zhen family, so he would not say anything. If he had known that the Zhen family had With so much family property, the elder brother said at the time that they had separated a long time ago, so maybe they would not be affected by Zhen Yingjia today.
Zhen Er's wife and Zhen San's wife blamed Zhen Yingjia for bringing them into trouble, and also blamed Zhen Yingjia for only treating their own son and not caring about their son, so they were really rude to Zhen Yingjia's wife and daughter.
Zhen Yingjia's wife, Mrs. Li, is also because she is a stepmother and her family background is not obvious. Although she gave birth to Zhen Baoyu, she really doesn't have much confidence. The second couple and Zhen San couple called back and forth.
Mrs. Zhen would still protect her three granddaughters, but she just turned a blind eye to Mrs. Li, and let Zhen Er and Zhen San be mean to each other, but it was only a short time. Within a few days, Mrs. Li lost weight so much that she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed.
The rest of the Zhen family didn't care, even if Li Shi was sick, they would still force Li Shi to do housework, or Li Shi's youngest daughter couldn't see it, so she begged Lin Ruhai and Shi Ding to help Li Shi invite a doctor.
Under normal circumstances, the death of one or two female relatives who were escorted to Beijing for trial was nothing. After all, most of the female relatives were weak, especially the female relatives of rich families.
But the situation of the Zhen family is different, and Lin Ruhai is really not sure about the status of the Zhen family in the mind of the Holy One. The addition of Zhen Yingjia who committed suicide has caused Lin Ruhai a lot of trouble, and his wife who can see Zhen Yingjia again is also It was gone, so I invited the imperial physician to take a look at it, and asked someone to take the medicine, so I must cure Li.
Li's youngest daughter, Zhen Qian, thanked Lin Ruhai gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir."
Her eyes were reddish, and she was faintly frightened. She was just a little bit close to becoming a motherless child.
Zhen Qian was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a petite figure. When Lin Ruhai saw her, she couldn't help but think of her own daughter, and his eyes softened. He sighed slightly, "Get up!"
Zhen Qian gave another blessing, "Thank you, my lord."
Facing such a young girl, Lin Ruhai really didn't know what to say, so he coughed lightly and asked casually, "Is your mother feeling better?"
Zhen Qian nodded, and then shook her head again. Her mother said that she was sick from exhaustion, and she needed a good rest most of all. The second and third aunts always ordered her mother to do things, but her grandmother refused to take care of her. He couldn't rest at all, so how could he recover from this disease.
Thinking about her mother's situation, and thinking about the confused future, Zhen Qian's eyes were slightly red, and she suddenly knelt down and begged: "I beg your lord to decide, let my mother be reconciled!"
Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, "What are you talking about?"
Zhen Qian bit her lower lip and said in a low voice: "I heard from the second aunt and the third aunt that if something happens to the husband's family, the woman can choose to leave with her and return to her family with her dowry."
During this period of time, she also vaguely heard a few words. Her father's crimes were too great. When they arrived in Beijing, it would be light for them to be beaten as official slaves. Sisters redeem themselves, so they don't have to live as slaves.
These days, the second aunt and the third aunt have been talking about reconciling and leaving, and the second uncle and the third uncle have also agreed, and they are waiting to reconcile as soon as possible after arriving in Beijing, so that the whole family will not be involved.
Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, "It might be possible before the Zhen family incident happened, but now..." Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "It's too late."
His eyes were slightly cold, and to put it bluntly, he enjoys the wealth of the Zhen family, but he doesn't want to bear the responsibility of the Zhen family. There is such a good thing in this world.
It is not so easy to reconcile at this point in time, even if the sage agrees, those who were ruined by the Zhen family will not let the Zhen family go so easily.
Zhen Qian's face was pale. Her only hope was that her mother could reconcile with her father, so that they would not be affected by what their father did. Now that they know that their father and mother cannot be reconciled, then they...
Thinking about what the third aunt said, Zhen Qian couldn't help but tremble in fear. Once she became an official slave, she would have to be a slave and a servant girl, and let others bully her. Woolen cloth?What about the military (female branch)?Thinking of this, Zhen Qian wished she could just die.
Zhen Qian bit her lower lip and said in a low voice after a long time, "What if I know Baoyu's whereabouts?"
Lin Ruhai's eyes sharpened, and he stared straight at Zhen Qian, which made Zhen Qian feel uneasy. She couldn't help but tremble slightly before she said: "If that's the case, it's not like I can't fight for one or two."
Lin Ruhai's words were quite watery, he only talked about fighting for it, without any guarantees, but Zhen Qian was just a child, so she knew the twists and turns.
Upon hearing Lin Ruhai's answer, Zhen Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I heard that grandma and father discussed that Baoyu should be sent to Beirong!"
She also heard it by accident. At first, she didn't understand why Baoyu was sent away, but after this happened, she found out that her father knew that this matter could not be escaped, so he sent Baoyu away early.
But why only Baoyu and not them?Doesn't daddy know what will happen to the female family members of criminal officials?Being an official slave is light, she and her sister are also father's flesh and blood, why does father only care about Baoyu and ignore them?
Zhen Qian secretly complained about her father who committed the crime, and also secretly hated Bao Yu, so whenever she had a chance, she took this matter in exchange for the safety of their family.
Lin Ruhai froze, "What!?"
No matter what Lin Ruhai thought, he never thought that Zhen Yingjia would send his son to Beirong!Ordinarily, the power of the Zhen family is all in the south of the Yangtze River, so they should hide their children in the south of the Yangtze River. How could they send their son to the north?And it was still sent to the hands of alien races outside the pass?
Although Lin Ruhai didn't understand, he still sent people to the northeast area to send the sea arrest documents, and did not mention the need to bring Zhen Baoyu back.
Not to mention that various forces are secretly looking for Zhen Baoyu's whereabouts. On the other hand, poor Jia Amnesty is still forced to study by the system (Book Gu).
With Jia Amnesty's ability, even if he really tried his best, it would be absolutely impossible for him to memorize the entire Three Character Classic within three days.
After being electrocuted several times, Jia She finally exploded, of course it wasn't the anti-book Gu, even if he wanted to explode, he couldn't find the book Gu to explode, so...
He directly took his anger out on Mrs. Wang.
Although Wang Momo is gone and the case is beyond trial, will Jia Amnesty just let Mrs. Wang go?
Of course it was impossible, he directly demanded Mrs. Wang to compensate for what Wang Naomo had taken from Yingchun over the years.
Although Yingchun is not favored, but she is the second girl of the Rongguo Mansion after all, and the monthly money of two taels of silver, eight new clothes and three new jewelry in one season are unavoidable. Swallowed snacks, food, rouge and water powder... and so on. In the past seven years, nearly 500 taels of silver have been stolen by Wang Momo.
The money from Rongguo Mansion was not brought by the strong wind, so naturally they have to seek compensation from Mrs. Wang.
Looking at the list of claims made by Jia Sheli, Ying Tianfu Yin can be regarded as convinced. This month's money, clothes, and jewelry are nothing more than snacks, rouge and gouache. What kind of rouge and gouache does a seven-year-old child use? ! ?Is this Jia Amnesty poor and crazy?Or poor and crazy?
Even though he seriously doubted whether Jia She was possessed by the poor god, Ying Tian Fu Yin, who was clever and didn't want to provoke Jia She, still followed Jia She's intention and sentenced Mrs. Wang to compensate for the loss.
Although Wang Momo abused Yingchun, although it was impossible to confront it after Wang Momo passed away, but Wang Momo was Mrs. Wang's companion, and Mrs. Wang, as the master, should pay a little or two.
Ever since, Jia Amnesty took the verdict issued by Yin Tianfu, and generously came to Mrs. Wang to ask for money.
Of course Mrs. Wang didn't want to talk about it, but Yingtian Mansion Yin had issued a verdict, and Jia Amnesty kept saying that if she didn't pay, he would go to Yingtian Mansion to sue her for not repaying the debt!
These words almost didn't make Mrs. Wang vomit blood angrily. Jia Amnesty is shameless, but she still has shame. Although Mrs. Wang hates it to death, she had to ask someone to open the silver box and take the silver to Jia Amnesty.
Don't think that Mrs. Wang, as the daughter of the royal family, has a generous dowry, and a mere 500 taels of silver is not taken seriously, but she has always been the most stingy, and once she gave the 500 taels of silver, she felt very distressed, and her whole body was not well.
It's fine if it's just to eliminate the disaster, but once the money was given, everyone believed that she let Wang Momo abuse Yingchun, and all kinds of unavoidable rumors became more and more persuasive. The angry Mrs. Wang is really not well. Suddenly fell down.
Although Baoyu didn't live up to expectations, one thing was good, that is, he was really filial to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. When Mrs. Wang fell ill, he immediately went back to Rongqing Hall without making a fuss, and obediently waited on him every day. With Mrs. Wang.
Seeing such a son, Mrs. Wang's eyes were soft, and she suddenly felt that the grievances she had suffered in the Rongguo Mansion in the past were nothing, at least compared to Jia She, her son was much better than Jia Lian.
Just like the last time when Jia pardoned the wind, Jia Lian only went to visit once. It was like Baoyu, who was always in front of her and waited on her.
Mrs. Wang was willing to wait on her son's front and back, and immediately persuaded her gently: "Good boy, it is enough for mother to have a maid to serve her here. Go back and study hard, and mother is still waiting for you to get the number one exam." , to fight for my mother."
Jia Baoyu frowned slightly. He hated official career economics the most. The officials of the Jin Dynasty were all vegetarians.
But his wife has been admonishing him earnestly, asking him to study hard, and Baoyu can't say it clearly, so he can only answer in embarrassment.
With Baoyu's temperament, it is extremely rare to be able to respond to such a call, but in Jia Zheng's eyes, he has no sincerity at all and copes well.
Jia Zheng was furious at the moment. He slapped Baoyu on the head and scolded: "What is your attitude? Do you feel wronged by asking you to study?"
"Master...Master..." Seeing Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu was so frightened that his voice trembled, which showed that Jia Zheng had become a shadow in his heart.
Mrs. Wang secretly thought that it was not good, she quickly opened her mouth to divert Jia Zheng's attention, and said, "Why did the master come back so early?"
It was only after noon, and today was not a holiday, so Jia Zheng should not have come back so early.
If Mrs. Wang didn't speak, it would be her own fault. When she spoke, Jia Zheng became angry, "It's not a good thing you did!"
Jia Zheng was really having a hard time during this period. As the second son, he lived in the main hall in secret. He was supposed to be talked about by others, but Mrs. Wang even attacked Yingchun, a seven-year-old child, which made him lose face. Not only that What is even more surprising is that Mrs. Wang actually killed Wang Momo afterwards, and this matter reached a fatal height in an instant.
Thinking about Wang Nanny's method of death, which could not be found out no matter how hard he checked, it really made Jia Zheng feel uneasy. After so many years of marriage, he really didn't know that Mrs. Wang had such a trick!Not only was he terrified, even his colleagues who worked with him were also very shocked. In the past, when they saw him, they were just making sarcastic remarks, but now they just walked around him.
As a result, Jia Zheng's sensitive and cautious heart was immediately hurt, and he asked for leave early to return home in a fit of anger. When he entered the door and saw Baoyu reluctantly responding casually, Jia Zheng was immediately annoyed.
Jia Zheng slapped Baoyu several times in one breath, and scolded: "Ignorant beast, where have you read all the sage books? Your mother wants you to study hard, but you are so coping? Instead of letting you Going out to be ashamed and conspicuous is better than letting me kill you directly, lest you fall into the reputation of my Rongguo Mansion!"
As he said that, Jia Zheng also directly pulled out the fly whisk stuck in a vase at the side, and hit Baoyu without thinking.
Don't think that the whisk is just made of bamboo, but
On the surface, they were giving away their adopted daughters. It would be best if the officials were obedient. If they were not obedient, the Zhen family would occasionally threaten her with her adopted daughter's true identity.
In the secret documents of the Zhen family, the true identities of each adopted daughter are recorded in detail. Some are the daughters of ordinary families, some are daughters of rich families, and some... are actually the children of officials and eunuchs, either concubine or concubine, And how was it stolen by the servants at home... Wait.
This secret document can be said to be the information that all the adopted daughters of the Zhen family want most. It can help them find their way home, but at the same time, once this secret document is revealed, it will be a disaster for many families.
Lin Ruhai, who is also a scholar, understands how much scholars attach importance to reputation. My daughter can die or get sick, but she can't be abducted, and she can't be brought into low status, not to mention that many people are prestigious officials in the court.
If this secret document is revealed, I am afraid that half of the court will be in chaos for a while, and he, the instigator, may be hated, but if it is not revealed...
Lin Ruhai patted the secret document and sighed, "Zhen Yingjia! Zhen Yingjia! You really dug a big hole for me!"
It was a matter of hundreds of families, and Lin Ruhai couldn't make up his mind, he pondered for a while, and finally put away the secret documents first, anyway, the Zhen family was created by Emperor Pingkang, so it's better to leave this ass to the Holy One.
It only took three days to search the house, but it took half a month to calculate the Zhen family property. Facing the final calculated Zhen family property, Shi Ding also stayed for a long time, admiring: "How did Zhen Yingjia get so much money?" ?”
That day, it was just a rough move out of the Zhen family's things to take a look, which was enough to surprise people. I never expected that after actuarial calculations, the Zhen family's property was so huge that it was unimaginable. With so much money, it was no longer It can be obtained through corruption.
He is also an official himself, so he naturally understands that the only way officials earn money is that, but even if he works hard to earn it, it would be good if he can save tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. I dare not even think about it.
There is a popular saying in official circles, small wealth depends on greed, and great wealth depends on earning; if you want so much money, you can't get it through greed, you still have to rely on earning. Although Shi Ding is an expensive general with countless soldiers under his command, Because he had to support so many people, Shi Ding was also short of money, and often demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. Seeing that the Zhen family could earn so much money, he immediately became curious about the way the Zhen family made money.
Out of curiosity, Shi Ding asked directly.
Lin Ruhai didn't hide his secrets, he said leisurely: "This Zhen family is not ordinary and bold!"
Seeing that Shi Ding still didn't understand, Lin Ruhai simply deciphered the secret, "Do you remember the reason why the abolished prince was abolished?"
The reason why the abolished prince was abolished is naturally inseparable from the Holy Majesty. The older the Holy Majesty, the less energetic he is, but the greater his desire for power. If he holds power and refuses to let go, it is inevitable that he will be young and strong at that time. The prince who also has a certain reputation in the court confronts him.
However, the prince is the cornerstone of the country. No matter how dissatisfied the prince is with the prince, it is impossible to change the prince rashly. , it is impossible for other ministers to agree.
The reason why the prince was abolished was mainly related to the flood in the Jianghuai area that year. There was a sudden flood in the Jianghuai area and the embankment collapsed. I don’t know how many people were drowned in their sleep and displaced. Not only ordinary people died, but also many local officials, and the entire Jianghuai area was suddenly out of order.
Back then, the Holy Majesty was also considered to be Qingming. As soon as he learned of the flood in the Jianghuai River, he immediately sent the abandoned prince to relieve the disaster. But there was something wrong with the relief money, and most of the relief money disappeared.
At that time, it was the worst time to seize the heir. Many people thought that the abolished crown prince had embezzled disaster relief money to buy officials, but after a long time it was the Zhen family's good deed. The poor abolished crown prince was innocently abolished and is still locked up In Yuqing Palace.
Of course, what the Zhen family is greedy for is not only disaster relief money. Apart from disaster relief money, the Zhen family also spends money on salt and iron taxes. Let the Holy One notice a thing or two.
It's no wonder that Zhen Yingjia chose to commit suicide. Based on what he did, Ling Chi would be taken lightly.
Besides, as far as Lin Ruhai knew, although the Holy Majesty abolished the prince, the abolished prince was raised by the Holy Majesty after all, and his feelings were different from other princes, and it was probably caused by the mentality that the new is not as good as the old, and people are not as good as the old. These years, the Holy Majesty misses him more and more To depose the crown prince, if you let the sage know that the events of the year were created by the Zhen family, it would be no wonder that Zhen Yingjia would not be hacked by thousands of knives.
Shi Ding was taken aback, "The new crown prince does not seem to have colluded with the Zhen family."
This time they made those poor women Dengwengu move so smoothly, the new crown prince was also responsible for it, if not for the new crown prince kneeling in the court, there would not be so many ministers who agreed to severely punish the Zhen family.
Of course, in order to get the new crown prince to kneel down, he also promised a lot of benefits, but if the new crown prince colluded with the Zhen family, there is no reason why he would agree to his request.
Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the existence of the Fifth Prince?"
The Zhen family is not a fool, how could the fifth prince, who has the blood of the Zhen family, help the other princes instead of helping them.
Speaking of which, the Zhen family also made a mistake, they managed to pull down the deposed prince, but before they had time to push the fifth prince up, the Holy Majesty picked the fourth prince first, which made it cheaper for the fourth prince who had no involvement in the matter of seizing the heir.
Shi Ding suddenly realized, and his face straightened, "This is not a trivial matter."
Although the Holy Majesty appointed the fourth prince as the new prince, in terms of prestige and status, the new prince is really far from the deposed prince; After the facts, he still has some prestige in the court, and all officials are happy to submit to him.
As for the new crown prince, his biological mother is just a low-status court lady, and she will lose her child as soon as she gives birth, so she can't help at all. Liu, although the adopted son was established as the crown prince, he has not even obtained a concubine position so far, which shows how much the Holy One doesn't care about Concubine An.
The fourth prince's mother's family is not obvious, even his wife's family is mediocre, and his talent is only mediocre among the princes. Even he doesn't understand why the Holy One made the fourth prince the crown prince.
To be honest, the fourth prince's only advantage is probably obedience.
No matter how you look at it, the new prince and the deposed prince are completely incomparable. If people know that the deposed prince was framed by the Zhen family, I'm afraid... there will be another storm in the court.
Shi Ding and Lin Ruhai looked at each other, and immediately understood each other's embarrassment.
As His Majesty's confidantes, they should naturally follow in His Majesty's footsteps, but to hide this matter, it's really a bit...
Shi Ding sighed, "It's really difficult!"
Lin Ruhai sighed slightly and stopped talking.
Shi Ding is a smart man, he didn't ask Lin Ruhai's plan, he just started gossiping, "Speaking of which, the Zhen family was really off the hook, and they finally pulled down the deposed prince, which would be an advantage to others."
Tsk!Tsk!This Zhen Yingjia is really unlucky. The fifth prince's biological mother Zhen Guifei is so favored, and she has the Zhen family's money to open the way, so she can still lose to the fourth prince who has nothing. It can be seen that it is really the retribution of the Zhen family's bad deeds. .
Lin Ruhai smiled slightly, but he didn't tell Shi Ding that if he could pull down the prince once, he could pull down the second time. The Zhen family planned to pull down the new prince again, so they kept Tuli, Zhen Yingjia's brain For some reason, she even planned to dedicate Tu Lijin to the new prince, and then looked for another opportunity to reveal Tu Li's life experience.
Tu Li and the new crown prince are cousins. If the new crown prince accepts Tu Li, it will be a mess of human relations. A crown prince who has a bad reputation and has no achievements in the court, the arrangement of the Zhen family over the years, when the new crown prince No wonder it wasn't pulled down.
But the Zhen family really had a bit of bad luck, and something went wrong with Tu Li just before the action, it really is fate.
It was about the abolition of the crown prince. Although Lin Ruhai and Shi Ding avoided talking about it, the guards protecting Lin Ruhai still heard it.
The secret guards sent by Tu Lei to protect Lin Ruhai are naturally all loyal to the abolished prince. All these years, they have been thinking about helping the abolished prince leave Yuqing Palace. Once they know that the abolished prince was framed back then, they can still stay there. He hurriedly passed the matter to Xia Xingquan, who was far away in Beijing, and Tu Lei, who changed his name to Qin Jun.
Although there are many capable people under Prince Abandoned, the one he trusts the most is the mediocre Qin Ye. At the age of only six grades, it can be seen that his ability is really not good, but this person is really honest, and has been raising the concubine daughter of the deposed prince with trepidation all these years---Qin Keqing.
Moreover, all the upbringing money given to him by the abolished prince was used to raise Qin Keqing. Even though he was a shy eunuch, he never spent any money on himself.
Qin Keqing's food, clothing and chewing items are all the best on weekdays, and she also invited the mothers in the palace to teach her carefully. The demeanor of her body is definitely not worse than that of Daiyu and others. Don't brag about it, if it weren't for Qin Keqing's kindness, even with the name of the illegitimate daughter of the abolished prince, it would not be so easy for her to marry into the Ningguo Mansion.
When Qin Keqing got married, Qin Ye went bankrupt and purchased a dowry for her. All the things left by the abolished prince were given to Keqing as a dowry. Even Tu Lei admired such an honest and honest person.
The only downside is probably that the husband Qin Ye chose for Ke Qing was not very good. Jia Rong was just a playboy, several times more playful than the uncle, and his daily behavior was really absurd; and his father Jia Zhen was even more a licentious Shamelessly, seeing Jia Zhen looking at Ke Qing made Tu Lei feel sick.
But in terms of status and status, the Ningguo Mansion who dared to marry the daughter of the abolished prince was indeed the best choice Qin Ye could find at that time.
Goodbye to Keqing, Tu Lei was also slightly surprised. In the previous life, he and Keqing were twins, both descendants of the prince. The concubine daughter born to him, and several years older than him.
When Tu Lei arrived at the Qin family, Ke Qing was already married, and Qin Ye took care of his only son, Qin Zhong. As soon as he knew Tu Lei's identity, Qin Ye took Tu Lei in without saying a word, and arranged a Qin family for him. As a relative in his hometown, even Xia Xingquan became the second housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, taking care of Tu Lei as a matter of course.
Although Qin Zhong was a little dissatisfied with this "clan brother" who obviously took refuge with his father but received better treatment than him, but under the pressure of Qin Ye's stick, he had no choice but to endure it.
With Tu Lei's ability, naturally he didn't pay attention to Qin Zhong, a real child, but with a little trickery, he subdued Qin Zhong, obediently calling his elder brother not to mention it.
Just when Tu Lei started to walk as Qin Jun, he never expected to learn the truth about his father's dismissal from Lin Ruhai.
Upon learning of this, both Xia Xingquan and Qin Ye looked excited, "Little master! The Holy Majesty must know about this."
Xia Xingquan was so excited that he burst into tears. He knew that the crown prince was framed back then. If he knew that the crown prince was framed by the Zhen family, I believe the sage would definitely return the crown prince's innocence. Fang's returned to the palace.
Tu Lei shook his head, "It's not that simple."
Once the emperor and the courtiers, the fourth uncle has been established as the prince for so many years. It is not so easy to change the prince.
Qin Ye said in a low voice: "If it's about the new crown prince, it's definitely not a problem. The new crown prince hasn't made much achievements in court over the years, and he doesn't dare to make friends with courtiers at ordinary times. As long as this matter is revealed, there must be many old people who will support the restoration of the crown prince. .”
To put it bluntly, the new crown prince is just a decoration made by the Holy Majesty. Since it is a decoration, it can be removed at any time.
Tu Lei shook his head, "The problem is not with the fourth uncle, but with the emperor's grandfather."
He sighed and said: "With the temperament of the emperor's grandfather, would he be willing to admit that he was negligent in the past, so that the father was deposed innocently?"
His royal grandfather is not an ordinary good face.
Everyone was silent for a while.
What kind of shit is Emperor Pingkang? Everyone is an old man in Beijing, so naturally he can't understand it. With Emperor Pingkang's temperament, even if he knows the truth, it is really difficult for him to admit his fault.
Xia Xingquan said hoarsely after a long time: "Could it be possible to watch the prince suffer in Yuqing Palace like this?"
As a eunuch, he naturally knows a little more than others. The Holy Majesty's attitude is the attitude of everyone in the palace. There is no shortage of people in the palace who ponder the holy will. Because the abolished crown prince was rejected by the Holy Majesty. Over the years, the abolished The prince's life in Yuqing Palace was really not good, if it wasn't for Xia Dequan's care both openly and secretly, he might not be able to survive.
Thinking of the kind of suffering that the prince he raised with his own hands, Xia Xingquan really wanted to rush to Yuqing Palace and rescue the deposed prince. Finally, he had the hope of leaving the palace, but now the little master said that it would not be possible. , Xia Xingquan was so uncomfortable that he almost cried.
Tu Lei noticed the disappointed expressions of Xia Xingquan and Qin Ye, and sighed slightly, the two of them are loyal, but their brains...it seems to be a little bit worse.
He shook his head and said, "Instead of relying on the emperor's grandfather, it's better to rely on yourself."
Xia Xingquan and Qin Ye looked at each other, wondering how they could rely on themselves in this fatal situation?
He pondered: "No matter what happened to Lin Ruhai, he would never dare to hide this matter. On the contrary, the emperor's grandfather is afraid that this matter will be concealed. All we have to do is to uncover it!"
Take off the face of the imperial grandfather and force him to face the reality.
Tu Lei said with a smile: "Lao Dengwen Gu's trick is good." With Shi Ding's brain, he might not have imagined that this matter was Lin Ruhai's handwriting.
Xia Xingquan murmured: "Shall we go to Lao Dengwen Drum? Well, this old slave knows martial arts, so I'm not afraid of being boarded."
"No need! No need! Even if you want it, it shouldn't belong to us." Tu Lei hurriedly stopped him, fearing that the stubborn Xia Xingquan would really go to Deng Wengu.
"Oh." Xia Xingquan let out a disappointment.
Tu Lei wiped his sweat secretly, no wonder Grandpa Xia brought up his father single-handedly, but in the end it was his father who raised him.Grandpa Xia's mind is still too simple, he is a rare species in the palace, if not for his high strength value, and his brother Xia Dequan is the imperial grandfather's personal eunuch, he might not survive to leave the palace.
Qin Ye quickly asked: "Little master, how do you mean to uncover this matter?"
According to my little master, the problem with this matter lies with the sage, and the only solution now is to expose it directly, just like Zhen's family affairs, so that the sage has to face it, but this revealing method... …
Tu Lei said bluntly: "Although Zhen Yingjia is dead, the old lady Zhen is still alive. She is Zhen Yingjia's biological mother, and she was once the emperor's grandfather's nanny. Even if she committed a crime, she still has the emperor's respect. , it couldn’t be more suitable.”
By the way, let the emperor's grandfather take a look and see how shameless he raised him.
Qin Ye frowned slightly, "But will Mrs. Zhen listen to us?"
This old lady Zhen is not an ordinary person. She was able to protect the young Holy Majesty when she had no power or power. Even if she left the palace, she could still be respected by the Holy Majesty. It can be seen that she is very powerful after being cultivated, and it is not so easy to make such a woman obedient.
Tu Lei said coldly: "Old lady Zhen is quite old and has enjoyed everything. The only offspring she cares about, the third son of the Zhen family, is Zhen Yingjia, and her grandson is only Zhen Baoyu. As long as you find Zhen Baoyu, that's enough."
Qin Ye and Xia Xingquan nodded again and again. As the saying goes, the youngest son, eldest grandson, the treasure of the old lady, Zhen Yingjia is about to die, and the only thing that the old lady cares about is Zhen Baoyu.
But even Lin Ruhai couldn't find Zhen Baoyu when he went to sea to capture the documents, and they only had a few hidden guards in their hands. It was really not easy to find Zhen Baoyu.
Tu Lei smiled strangely, "Although Zhen Baoyu doesn't have one, Jia Baoyu does have one."
As long as they come from their life, it is impossible to forget the matter of Master Zhen Jia in Tantuo Temple.
For some reason, the elder brother who was born in the Rongguo Mansion was exactly the same as Zhen Baoyu from the Zhen family. Even his own family members almost admitted their mistakes, which was convenient for them.
Although Zhen Baoyu was allowed to escape, but because the case was so important, Lin Ruhai hastily compiled the Zhen family's belongings into a book, and personally escorted everyone in the Zhen family to Beijing for trial with Shi Ding.
Lin Ruhai and Shi Dingben were a little worried about Mrs. Zhen's health. After all, Mrs. Zhen was notoriously in poor health. I don't know how many times I sent the emergency documents to the capital when Mrs. Zhen was about to die. The two of them were also afraid that after Zhen Yingjia, Mrs. Zhen's hind legs would also disappear, and with the temper of the saint, it would be no wonder if they didn't eat a melon.
Then you know that the imperial doctor stayed by Mrs. Zhen's side for three whole days, and she didn't see anything wrong with Mrs. Zhen. Although she suffered from Zhen Yingjia's death for several days, she still tasted delicious, and she didn't feel comfortable at all. No.
Henceforth, the two of them were very sure, [-]% sure that Mrs. Zhen had been pretending to be sick before, in order to restrain Emperor Pingkang, so that the Holy Majesty could not bear to investigate the Zhen family.
Shi Ding couldn't help complaining: "Do you think this old lady Zhen knows about the good deeds her son has done?"
If you don't know, how could you pretend to be sick so cleverly before?If she knew about the lives of so many young girls, how could Mrs. Zhen pretend she didn't know anything and let Zhen Yingjia ruin those children?
He had been with those girls for a while, and his feelings were much deeper than Lin Ruhai's.He still remembers the two girls who were beaten to death in front of the Dengwen Drum. One is Zhen Qian and the other is Zhen Qin. .
Lin Ruhai also knew about the murder in front of Deng Wen's drum. He originally made the plan, but even he didn't expect that the Zhen family could be so vicious.
Thinking of the two girls who died in vain, he sneered and said, "How could you not know, it's just a muffled sound to make a fortune."
Besides, most of the adopted daughters of the Zhen family are married in the name of the adopted daughters of the Zhen family. After all, they are all granddaughters in name. Woolen cloth.
Lin Ruhai sighed slightly, in the final analysis, it was the Holy Majesty who favored the Zhen family too much, which raised the minds of these people.
The property of the Zhen family was easy to manage, but Zhen Yingjia's only son, Zhen Baoyu, could not be found no matter how hard he tried. Lin Ruhai even searched the home of Zhen Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Li, but Zhen Baoyu could not be found.
After inquiring about the members of the Zhen family, it was only then that Lin Ruhai found out that because Zhen Baoyu was lazy by nature and didn't like reading, she only liked to hang out with her older sisters on weekdays. Zhen Yingjia used the excuse of forcing her children to study, so she moved Zhen Baoyu to the front yard, and personally Teaching; and on the grounds that a loving mother has many losers, Li Shi and others were not allowed to visit, so even Li Shi didn't know that Zhen Yingjia had sent Zhen Baoyu away long ago.
For this matter, Zhen Er's couple and Zhen San's couple cursed Zhen Yingjia a lot.
Not only Zhen Yingjia has a son, they also have sons!Zhen Yingjia wanted to send her own son out, why didn't she send their son along with her?
Even though they are descendants of concubines and not born of Mrs. Zhen, they are both of the Zhen family's bloodline, so how can they treat each other more favorably than others!
Third Lord Zhen beat his heart secretly. After what happened to Zhen Li, Zhen Yingjia originally wanted to separate the family in a fit of anger, but Third Master Zhen was greedy for the power of the Zhen family, so he would not say anything. If he had known that the Zhen family had With so much family property, the elder brother said at the time that they had separated a long time ago, so maybe they would not be affected by Zhen Yingjia today.
Zhen Er's wife and Zhen San's wife blamed Zhen Yingjia for bringing them into trouble, and also blamed Zhen Yingjia for only treating their own son and not caring about their son, so they were really rude to Zhen Yingjia's wife and daughter.
Zhen Yingjia's wife, Mrs. Li, is also because she is a stepmother and her family background is not obvious. Although she gave birth to Zhen Baoyu, she really doesn't have much confidence. The second couple and Zhen San couple called back and forth.
Mrs. Zhen would still protect her three granddaughters, but she just turned a blind eye to Mrs. Li, and let Zhen Er and Zhen San be mean to each other, but it was only a short time. Within a few days, Mrs. Li lost weight so much that she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed.
The rest of the Zhen family didn't care, even if Li Shi was sick, they would still force Li Shi to do housework, or Li Shi's youngest daughter couldn't see it, so she begged Lin Ruhai and Shi Ding to help Li Shi invite a doctor.
Under normal circumstances, the death of one or two female relatives who were escorted to Beijing for trial was nothing. After all, most of the female relatives were weak, especially the female relatives of rich families.
But the situation of the Zhen family is different, and Lin Ruhai is really not sure about the status of the Zhen family in the mind of the Holy One. The addition of Zhen Yingjia who committed suicide has caused Lin Ruhai a lot of trouble, and his wife who can see Zhen Yingjia again is also It was gone, so I invited the imperial physician to take a look at it, and asked someone to take the medicine, so I must cure Li.
Li's youngest daughter, Zhen Qian, thanked Lin Ruhai gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir."
Her eyes were reddish, and she was faintly frightened. She was just a little bit close to becoming a motherless child.
Zhen Qian was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a petite figure. When Lin Ruhai saw her, she couldn't help but think of her own daughter, and his eyes softened. He sighed slightly, "Get up!"
Zhen Qian gave another blessing, "Thank you, my lord."
Facing such a young girl, Lin Ruhai really didn't know what to say, so he coughed lightly and asked casually, "Is your mother feeling better?"
Zhen Qian nodded, and then shook her head again. Her mother said that she was sick from exhaustion, and she needed a good rest most of all. The second and third aunts always ordered her mother to do things, but her grandmother refused to take care of her. He couldn't rest at all, so how could he recover from this disease.
Thinking about her mother's situation, and thinking about the confused future, Zhen Qian's eyes were slightly red, and she suddenly knelt down and begged: "I beg your lord to decide, let my mother be reconciled!"
Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, "What are you talking about?"
Zhen Qian bit her lower lip and said in a low voice: "I heard from the second aunt and the third aunt that if something happens to the husband's family, the woman can choose to leave with her and return to her family with her dowry."
During this period of time, she also vaguely heard a few words. Her father's crimes were too great. When they arrived in Beijing, it would be light for them to be beaten as official slaves. Sisters redeem themselves, so they don't have to live as slaves.
These days, the second aunt and the third aunt have been talking about reconciling and leaving, and the second uncle and the third uncle have also agreed, and they are waiting to reconcile as soon as possible after arriving in Beijing, so that the whole family will not be involved.
Lin Ruhai frowned slightly, "It might be possible before the Zhen family incident happened, but now..." Lin Ruhai shook his head and said, "It's too late."
His eyes were slightly cold, and to put it bluntly, he enjoys the wealth of the Zhen family, but he doesn't want to bear the responsibility of the Zhen family. There is such a good thing in this world.
It is not so easy to reconcile at this point in time, even if the sage agrees, those who were ruined by the Zhen family will not let the Zhen family go so easily.
Zhen Qian's face was pale. Her only hope was that her mother could reconcile with her father, so that they would not be affected by what their father did. Now that they know that their father and mother cannot be reconciled, then they...
Thinking about what the third aunt said, Zhen Qian couldn't help but tremble in fear. Once she became an official slave, she would have to be a slave and a servant girl, and let others bully her. Woolen cloth?What about the military (female branch)?Thinking of this, Zhen Qian wished she could just die.
Zhen Qian bit her lower lip and said in a low voice after a long time, "What if I know Baoyu's whereabouts?"
Lin Ruhai's eyes sharpened, and he stared straight at Zhen Qian, which made Zhen Qian feel uneasy. She couldn't help but tremble slightly before she said: "If that's the case, it's not like I can't fight for one or two."
Lin Ruhai's words were quite watery, he only talked about fighting for it, without any guarantees, but Zhen Qian was just a child, so she knew the twists and turns.
Upon hearing Lin Ruhai's answer, Zhen Qian was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I heard that grandma and father discussed that Baoyu should be sent to Beirong!"
She also heard it by accident. At first, she didn't understand why Baoyu was sent away, but after this happened, she found out that her father knew that this matter could not be escaped, so he sent Baoyu away early.
But why only Baoyu and not them?Doesn't daddy know what will happen to the female family members of criminal officials?Being an official slave is light, she and her sister are also father's flesh and blood, why does father only care about Baoyu and ignore them?
Zhen Qian secretly complained about her father who committed the crime, and also secretly hated Bao Yu, so whenever she had a chance, she took this matter in exchange for the safety of their family.
Lin Ruhai froze, "What!?"
No matter what Lin Ruhai thought, he never thought that Zhen Yingjia would send his son to Beirong!Ordinarily, the power of the Zhen family is all in the south of the Yangtze River, so they should hide their children in the south of the Yangtze River. How could they send their son to the north?And it was still sent to the hands of alien races outside the pass?
Although Lin Ruhai didn't understand, he still sent people to the northeast area to send the sea arrest documents, and did not mention the need to bring Zhen Baoyu back.
Not to mention that various forces are secretly looking for Zhen Baoyu's whereabouts. On the other hand, poor Jia Amnesty is still forced to study by the system (Book Gu).
With Jia Amnesty's ability, even if he really tried his best, it would be absolutely impossible for him to memorize the entire Three Character Classic within three days.
After being electrocuted several times, Jia She finally exploded, of course it wasn't the anti-book Gu, even if he wanted to explode, he couldn't find the book Gu to explode, so...
He directly took his anger out on Mrs. Wang.
Although Wang Momo is gone and the case is beyond trial, will Jia Amnesty just let Mrs. Wang go?
Of course it was impossible, he directly demanded Mrs. Wang to compensate for what Wang Naomo had taken from Yingchun over the years.
Although Yingchun is not favored, but she is the second girl of the Rongguo Mansion after all, and the monthly money of two taels of silver, eight new clothes and three new jewelry in one season are unavoidable. Swallowed snacks, food, rouge and water powder... and so on. In the past seven years, nearly 500 taels of silver have been stolen by Wang Momo.
The money from Rongguo Mansion was not brought by the strong wind, so naturally they have to seek compensation from Mrs. Wang.
Looking at the list of claims made by Jia Sheli, Ying Tianfu Yin can be regarded as convinced. This month's money, clothes, and jewelry are nothing more than snacks, rouge and gouache. What kind of rouge and gouache does a seven-year-old child use? ! ?Is this Jia Amnesty poor and crazy?Or poor and crazy?
Even though he seriously doubted whether Jia She was possessed by the poor god, Ying Tian Fu Yin, who was clever and didn't want to provoke Jia She, still followed Jia She's intention and sentenced Mrs. Wang to compensate for the loss.
Although Wang Momo abused Yingchun, although it was impossible to confront it after Wang Momo passed away, but Wang Momo was Mrs. Wang's companion, and Mrs. Wang, as the master, should pay a little or two.
Ever since, Jia Amnesty took the verdict issued by Yin Tianfu, and generously came to Mrs. Wang to ask for money.
Of course Mrs. Wang didn't want to talk about it, but Yingtian Mansion Yin had issued a verdict, and Jia Amnesty kept saying that if she didn't pay, he would go to Yingtian Mansion to sue her for not repaying the debt!
These words almost didn't make Mrs. Wang vomit blood angrily. Jia Amnesty is shameless, but she still has shame. Although Mrs. Wang hates it to death, she had to ask someone to open the silver box and take the silver to Jia Amnesty.
Don't think that Mrs. Wang, as the daughter of the royal family, has a generous dowry, and a mere 500 taels of silver is not taken seriously, but she has always been the most stingy, and once she gave the 500 taels of silver, she felt very distressed, and her whole body was not well.
It's fine if it's just to eliminate the disaster, but once the money was given, everyone believed that she let Wang Momo abuse Yingchun, and all kinds of unavoidable rumors became more and more persuasive. The angry Mrs. Wang is really not well. Suddenly fell down.
Although Baoyu didn't live up to expectations, one thing was good, that is, he was really filial to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. When Mrs. Wang fell ill, he immediately went back to Rongqing Hall without making a fuss, and obediently waited on him every day. With Mrs. Wang.
Seeing such a son, Mrs. Wang's eyes were soft, and she suddenly felt that the grievances she had suffered in the Rongguo Mansion in the past were nothing, at least compared to Jia She, her son was much better than Jia Lian.
Just like the last time when Jia pardoned the wind, Jia Lian only went to visit once. It was like Baoyu, who was always in front of her and waited on her.
Mrs. Wang was willing to wait on her son's front and back, and immediately persuaded her gently: "Good boy, it is enough for mother to have a maid to serve her here. Go back and study hard, and mother is still waiting for you to get the number one exam." , to fight for my mother."
Jia Baoyu frowned slightly. He hated official career economics the most. The officials of the Jin Dynasty were all vegetarians.
But his wife has been admonishing him earnestly, asking him to study hard, and Baoyu can't say it clearly, so he can only answer in embarrassment.
With Baoyu's temperament, it is extremely rare to be able to respond to such a call, but in Jia Zheng's eyes, he has no sincerity at all and copes well.
Jia Zheng was furious at the moment. He slapped Baoyu on the head and scolded: "What is your attitude? Do you feel wronged by asking you to study?"
"Master...Master..." Seeing Jia Zheng, Jia Baoyu was so frightened that his voice trembled, which showed that Jia Zheng had become a shadow in his heart.
Mrs. Wang secretly thought that it was not good, she quickly opened her mouth to divert Jia Zheng's attention, and said, "Why did the master come back so early?"
It was only after noon, and today was not a holiday, so Jia Zheng should not have come back so early.
If Mrs. Wang didn't speak, it would be her own fault. When she spoke, Jia Zheng became angry, "It's not a good thing you did!"
Jia Zheng was really having a hard time during this period. As the second son, he lived in the main hall in secret. He was supposed to be talked about by others, but Mrs. Wang even attacked Yingchun, a seven-year-old child, which made him lose face. Not only that What is even more surprising is that Mrs. Wang actually killed Wang Momo afterwards, and this matter reached a fatal height in an instant.
Thinking about Wang Nanny's method of death, which could not be found out no matter how hard he checked, it really made Jia Zheng feel uneasy. After so many years of marriage, he really didn't know that Mrs. Wang had such a trick!Not only was he terrified, even his colleagues who worked with him were also very shocked. In the past, when they saw him, they were just making sarcastic remarks, but now they just walked around him.
As a result, Jia Zheng's sensitive and cautious heart was immediately hurt, and he asked for leave early to return home in a fit of anger. When he entered the door and saw Baoyu reluctantly responding casually, Jia Zheng was immediately annoyed.
Jia Zheng slapped Baoyu several times in one breath, and scolded: "Ignorant beast, where have you read all the sage books? Your mother wants you to study hard, but you are so coping? Instead of letting you Going out to be ashamed and conspicuous is better than letting me kill you directly, lest you fall into the reputation of my Rongguo Mansion!"
As he said that, Jia Zheng also directly pulled out the fly whisk stuck in a vase at the side, and hit Baoyu without thinking.
Don't think that the whisk is just made of bamboo, but
