The Dream of the Red Chamber of Huanzhu is not a dream

Lin Haidingyou was at home, but he didn't interact with people very often. The riot more than 30 years ago had already cut off the relationship between the old and new branches of the Lin family, and he had no relatives to leave.Only Qu Huan, the magistrate of Suzhou, was one of his contemporaries, and they had visited each other several times.

That day, Qu Huan got up early and hadn't gone to the yamen, when he heard Lin Hai's visit, he suddenly felt strange, his old friend has always been the most polite, but he seldom visits early in the morning, so he immediately went to the living room to meet.

After the two met each other, Qu Huan couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother Ruhai came to visit early in the morning, but why?"

"Brother Ruixiang, you have come here like Hai, and you really have something to ask for."

Qu Huan, courtesy name Ruixiang.

Qu Huan said: "Brother Ruhai, but it's okay to say."

"Brother Ruixiang should have heard that a few days ago my wife had a dystocia and was rescued by the second girl of the Xia family. Since then, my husband and I have regarded that girl as a benefactor. The day before yesterday, my child had diarrhea and it was that girl again My hands are rejuvenated, so yesterday I prepared a small gift and asked the housekeeper to deliver it, but unexpectedly found that outside the door of Xia's house, there was someone secretly guarding it. My housekeeper didn't even see the person who was in charge of Xia's house. Instead, it was received by a strange nun. , I have never even entered the door. I am afraid that the Xia family will be in trouble, but I have no official or job right now, but I have no way to deal with this matter, so I have to ask Brother Ruixiang to repay the life-saving grace." Lin Hai It is only said that the housekeeper noticed something different, but it is impossible to say about sending Liancheng to spy at night, firstly, it is not beneficial to him, secondly, he is afraid of ruining the reputation of the Xia family girl, and thirdly, he does not want his heirs to be exposed to the conspiracy.

Qu Huan was surprised: "Is this true? Then the Xia family is under surveillance?"

Lin Hai asked: "Could it be that brother Ruixiang also knows the Xia family?"

Qu Huan sighed: "Brother Ruhai, my wife also sought medical treatment from Miss Xia, but it was a pity that the injury was too severe, and the children were in a difficult situation, but the wife's health has indeed improved a lot."

The magistrate's wife, Mrs. Hu, is in her early thirties. She has been married to the magistrate for more than ten years. She only gave birth to a sister and son at the beginning. She hurt her body during childbirth. After that, she was infertile and sick for many years.After hearing about Xia Qinglian's reputation, I didn't want to believe it, but my aunt relied on her eldest son to persecute her step by step, so with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, she asked Xia Qinglian to help her take care of her body.

After Xia Qinglian gave Mrs. Hu a diagnosis and treatment, she found that her infertility was caused by taking contraindicated drugs for many years. It cannot be cured by manpower.

Madam Hu is not an unreasonable person, after hearing Xia Qinglian's words, she didn't blame her, but her face was livid and scary.Afterwards, Xia Qinglian vaguely heard that the magistrate's family had disposed of several concubines.

After hearing this, Xia Qinglian couldn't help but sigh that the fight between the women in the inner courtyard was startling every step of the way.

Under Xia Qinglian's care, Mrs. Hu's health gradually improved, and she picked a child from a concubine's house who was not implicated to raise her under her name, which was also very courteous to Xia Qinglian.Therefore, even though Qu Huan had never met this Miss Xia who was good at medicine, he knew about it.

Qu Huan then said: "In this case, I will send someone to investigate first, and then make a fuss after checking the facts."

Lin Hai clasped his hands and said, "In this way, there will be Brother Luo Ruixiang."

That Zhang Fan is really a dude, he can do nothing but rely on his father who knows him to be domineering, but that Lin Huan is somewhat calculating.It's just that Zhang Fan has always been short of a doorman, and he is proud that the famous "Goddess Doctor" of the Xia family is about to commit himself to him. A group of people who rely on the shadow of their ancestors to eat, drink and do evil, when they heard about this, they all had the mentality of watching a good show, and made some jokes that were not taboo.

So, within half a day, Qu Huan found out the facts, knowing that Zhang Fan had abducted the little girl from the Xia family to persecute Xia Qinglian, and cursed a few times as "scum", but he was secretly happy.That Tongzhi Zhang was a confidant of the previous magistrate. Since Qu Huan took office, although he never confronted each other, he has made many stumbling blocks in private. Qu Huan has long wanted to catch him.

However, this matter involved the relatives of the Xia family after all. If the Lin family took the responsibility and talked about the relationship between relatives, it would be able to reduce the big problem to the small one.

Qu Huan is kind and forbearing, so even though he was annoyed by Zhang Tongzhi's actions, he never touched him, just waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him in one fell swoop.But at this time, the opportunity is already in front of you, as long as you operate it well, it will be a great thing to gain fame and profit.

Qu Huan recruited his confidant to judge Yan Hua, and after some discussions, it was decided that Yan Hua would arrange it himself.

Yan Hua brought a group of trusted yamen servants with him to go out, and after a little effort, he found the whereabouts of Ziyi's family.

At this time, Ziyi's family was in a panic.The third grandma Lin knew that Ziyi had knocked Xia Ningjue out, so she asked them to settle down in this pre-arranged place, and said that they would hide Xia Ningjue for three days, and the matter would be resolved.

But Ziyi, at that time, wanted to be the aunt of the third master Lin for the sake of wealth, so she took the risk and abducted the little master, but afterward, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, she couldn't sleep well for days, and she didn't dare to let go of the rope that bound Xia Ningjue. During the period, Xia Ningjue woke up once, but she never cried. She just looked at her with a pair of clear and black eyes, which made her feel panicked, and forced Xia Ningjue to drink drowsy medicine every day. make it sober.

The mother and elder brother in the family also blamed Duoduo, blaming her for making her family hurt by such a stupid trick, but they didn't say that they also hoped that she could become the aunt of the third master of the Lin family, and then followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.

On this day, hearing the noise outside the door, Zi Yi was terrified, and hurriedly stuffed Xia Ningjue under the bed, and went out to welcome her, but she was ushered in a pair of shackles.

Knowing about the incident, Ziyi finally broke out the tense emotions she had been feeling for the past few days. She fainted from fright and was still dragged away by the guards.

After the guards arrested the person, they went into the house to search, and passed by the bed several times, but they didn't find the person under the bed.

After the room was empty for half an hour, a middle-aged man sneaked in, searched for a while, and then dragged Xia Ningjue out from under the bed.Poor Xia Ningjue, who has been tied up for a few days, and has no food to eat, and only drinks some soup and medicinal juice all day long, only looks pale and weak.

The man put the man on his shoulders and left quietly.

After the man left, a person came out from behind the house and threw a fire primer on the firewood, and the fire was raging after a while.

"If the people don't promote, the officials don't investigate."

Qu Huan imprisoned Ziyi's family, but he knew that the family would never be spared.

Domestic slaves kidnap their masters, this trend must not last long.As soon as this incident happened, the servants and servants in each family would definitely have some rectification, but it was no longer a family matter.

However, he didn't rush to Lin Su's house to take Lin Huan and his wife.After all, if the Xia family didn't sue them because of their relatives, Qu Huan would be a good person in vain, but he would greatly offend the Lin family.After all, the Lin family is a local snake, and they have been operating in Suzhou for many years. It would be bad if they often make things difficult for him.

Therefore, Qu Huan first sent people to take down the people who were watching around the Xia family, and then helped the Xia family to break out of the siege.

When Xia Qinglian saw the officers and soldiers for the first time, although she didn't know who was helping her, she was always happy, and when she heard that Ziyi's family had been imprisoned, she was anxious about Xia Ningjue's whereabouts.After asking, but not finding Xia Ningjue, she panicked.

Since it was inconvenient for Xia Qinglian to go to the yamen, she asked Steward Du and Wu Ying to report to the yamen together with the guards.After waiting anxiously for a while, he finally couldn't help but took Zifang in a carriage to the vicinity of the yamen, and waited for Butler Du and Wu Ying to come out as soon as they came out.

Hearing from Wu Ying that Zi Yi confessed to hiding Xia Ningjue under the bed, but the guards didn't find it when they searched, so the magistrate sent someone to follow them to check again.

Xia Qinglian was not in the mood to go home and wait, so she followed the crowd in a carriage to the hiding place of Ziyi's family.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a piece of scorched earth.The hiding place of Ziyi and others was originally a wooden house, and a lot of firewood was piled up in the house, but nothing was left after it was burned.All that was found among the ashes of a pile of firewood was a small gold chain with a pendant of a strange fiery shape.

Xia Qinglian recognized that it was the necklace that Xia Ningjue was wearing next to her body, her vision went dark and she passed out.

Steward Du and the others stared blankly at the scorched blackness in front of them, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xia Qinglian woke up not long after, with red eyes, she ordered the carriage to turn around to the magistrate's yamen.

The carriage stopped in front of the magistrate's yamen, Xia Qinglian got out of the carriage, walked to the drum of grievances and beat it hard.In ancient times, there were very few women beating drums to cry for grievances, but Xia Qinglian's behavior was very eye-catching.Although it was quickly passed in by the yamen servants, it still attracted many people to watch.When it came to Shengtang, the gate of the yamen was already surrounded by layers of people.

However, within half a day, the news that Suzhou "goddess doctor" Xia Qinglian sued her aunt, cousin, and Zhang Tongzhi's young son for kidnapping and murdering a girl and forcing her into a concubine has already spread.

Prefect Qu also arrested Zhang Fan, Lai Shi, and Lin Huan as criminals very quickly.

Xia Qinglian has only been practicing medicine for only a few years, but there are quite a few people who have received her favor, and some of them are powerful or powerful, so they also secretly take care of Xia Qinglian.

This time the Xia family incident happened, and we saw the magistrate's thunderous tactics. Anyone who knows the matter knows that the prefect Qu is probably going to use this excuse to deal with Zhang Tongzhi this time, so the family who was persecuted by Zhang Tongzhi, Zhang Fan and others rose up together. After filing the case, sue the Yamen.

Of course, everyone is suing Zhang Fan. After all, the law of the Qing Dynasty stipulates that if a person sues an official, if a son kills his father, he will be punished with fifty rods first.

Of course, Qu Huan did not intend to pull Zhang Tongzhi down because of these cases, but Zhang Fan's crimes and years of rampant crimes have nothing to do with it. The crime of murdering a son is enough to make the royal censor get involved and lose his official position. , but it is certain.

Therefore, under Qu Huan's deliberate guidance, Zhang Fan became the main target of complaints and attacks, and countless cases were involved.

However, the Lai family and other mother and son were closed at an extremely fast speed.

On the eve of sentencing, Xia Qinglian went to visit the prison.

The third grandma cried pitifully, and kowtowed her head fiercely: "Sister Lian, we were all forced by Zhang Fan, and we definitely didn't want to harm you sincerely. For your little nephew's sake, withdraw the case." , Brother Hui is still young, so he can't live without his parents to take care of him."

Xia Qinglian looked at her, but she was indifferent: "You know that Brother Hui is still young, but Jue'er is only eight years old, and you can do it! You have to blame yourself for what happened to you, not to mention, Brother Hui It is his sorrow to have a mother like you."

"Sister Lian, I won't dare again in the future. I will take good care of your family in the future. Please, withdraw the case..."

The third grandma cried and tugged on Lai Shi's sleeve, asking her to intercede together.

Lai's temperament is still domineering, although the environment in the prison is not good, but there are some money from his own son, but the big pain is that there is no food, so even though he is begging for help, his tone is unforgiving: "Lian girl, It's better for you to withdraw the case. No matter what, if it weren't for our family to take care of you, how could you settle down in Suzhou? It is impossible to say that the four grandparents and grandchildren have already suffered accidents, so how can you still have the current glory? Now, you actually want to It's really ungrateful to sue your benefactor to the Yamen. Besides, we originally just led Jue girl out to play for a few days, but who knows that the Yamen caught people with troubles and caught fire again. It can't be blamed on us , if you had listened to my words early on and married that Zhang Fan as your wife, how could there be so many things that happened later?"

Xia Qinglian has not been able to eat or sleep well during this time, as if she has been hearing Xia Ningjue shouting for heat and pain, her expression is already haggard and her eyes are bloodshot, at this time she heard Lai's words, she actually started laughing, but the tears stopped Can't stop: "Benefactor, haha... Thank you for being able to say it! I only hate that I didn't see through your vicious heart earlier, which caused my Jue'er to be buried in the sea of ​​fire, but I couldn't crush you..."

Saying that, Xia Qinglian turned around and left. Looking at these people more, she felt that her heart was burning like a flame, but she couldn't vent the hatred in her heart. She only felt that her whole body was both hot and cold.

When Xia Qinglian returned home, she finally fell seriously ill.

Mrs. Xia was already seriously ill when she found out that Xia Ningjue was buried in the sea of ​​flames. Xia Qinglian supported her body to diagnose and administer medicine to her mother, but she couldn't be safe.

During this period, the punishments of Mrs. Lai and others had already been handed down. Lin Huan was sentenced to exile in the frontier for ten years, while Mrs. Lai and the third grandmother were sold into slavery.

And Xia Qinglian also heard that Lai's family and the third grandma were bought back by her uncle's family, but after all, they became low-ranking citizens, but their identities were hard to recover.

After Xia Qinglian heard about this, her face sank like water.

When Mrs. Xia was seriously ill, her uncle also came to ask for a sin. It was all arranged by Mrs. Lai and the third grandma, but my uncle didn't know about it. After hearing this, Mrs. Xia felt a little comforted in her heart. Finally, The younger brother he trusted was not that jackal.But after all, there was too deep a gap, and the communication between the two families was cut off.
