Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

After detaining all the members of the Tie family, all the men were escorted to the prison of the Yangzhou prefect's yamen, together with the officials who were brought in together earlier.

"Sister-in-law, what the hell is going on?" Tie Sheng saw the familiar officials in the opposite prison at the first sight when he entered the prison. After a closer look, most of them were close friends with him. of.His sister-in-law, Lu Hui, was also among them, and asked hurriedly.

The tendons on Lu Hui's body have not been loosened until now, and he is weak. When he saw that all the members of the Tie family were also detained, he was shocked at first. He still knows a little about this uncle's ability. Now He was also caught in. He had hoped that Tie Sheng would try to save him, but now it was impossible, and he suddenly felt desperate. After hearing Tie Sheng's question, he replied weakly: "I knew it somewhere. I just came back from Mr. Lin's house at noon today, and I received an order from the imperial envoy, so we just met. The imperial envoy made a fuss, and as for the result..." Eyes turned to his surroundings After looking at it, "...Needless to say, you have seen it too."

Tie Sheng is an extremely shrewd person, he knew what Lu Hui had said.The reason why Jia Rong didn't make any noise earlier was that it wasn't really silent. I'm afraid he had been ordered before he came. First, he kept a low profile, collected evidence, and waited for them to be taken down in one fell swoop.

As expected, one should not be careless. If he hadn't removed the person monitoring Jia Rong from the beginning, it might be different today.At the very least, it won't be like it is now, where people use knives and I use fish.

"Uncle, is there anything you can do here?" Lu Hui asked Tie Sheng with a hint of luck still in his heart.

As soon as his words fell, almost everyone in the cell looked at Tie Sheng. After all, many of the people imprisoned here were friends with the Tie family, and some of the low-ranking ones were only followed by the Tie family.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Tie Sheng smiled helplessly, "I didn't expect Jia Rong to attack so suddenly, and I didn't have any preparations. You have seen the situation, the man in the mansion Ding Du is already here. There are only female relatives left in the mansion, so what can I do?"

Hearing his words, Lu Hui and the others immediately despaired.

However, some people still did not give up and tried to bribe the yamen servants who were in charge of guarding them, hoping that they would help pass some news to the house so that they could ask for help.

Of course, Jia Rong had long been prepared for this situation.Now all the guards are carefully selected, no matter how they promise, etc., they don't pay any attention to what they say, and they don't even roll their eyelids.

It's not that they aren't greedy for money, it was before they came here.My adults have already sent harsh words to them, saying that if half of the news is passed on, or if they do something they shouldn't do, not only they, but their family members will also suffer together.

And the person named Guan Yan who came with the imperial envoy even gave them an unknown pill. According to him, it was the poison called 'a thousand cuts' poison.Although I didn't tell them, what is the effect of this pill?But they are not stupid, just by hearing the name of the medicine, they know that they are not kind.

In such a situation, how dare they have any temptation.

"Yuehai, here is the list. Wait a minute and send all the people you can use. Let them watch some people carefully. As for who to watch? I don't need to tell you." Jia Rong said to Following Yuehai's instructions.

Yue Hai took the list, immediately responded with cupped fists, and left without mentioning it.

"By the way, are those in the prison still honest?" Jia Rong asked with her head turned sideways.

Guan Yan had already rushed over from the Yangzhou yamen at this time, and replied: "It's pretty honest. Although it was noisy for a while, but once the whip came down, I didn't dare to say anything." His tone paused slightly After a while, he continued: "By the way, the servant noticed one thing, that is, Tie Sheng, the head of the Tie family, who just came into custody. His behavior was a bit strange. I can't say exactly what it is, but he also panicked along with those people. , I can’t see any flaws, whether it’s the expression or the tone, but I don’t know why? The servant just thinks that he is not really panicked. I always feel that his performance is not in line with the information that the servant has read?” That’s normal , normal people feel a little abnormal.

After listening to Guan Yan's words, Jia Rong fell into deep thought.Tie Sheng is an extremely shrewd person.Now there are six brothers in the Tie family, only Tie Sheng is very shrewd, and the other five are either very mediocre or full of life.Nothing to worry about.It would be unbelievable to say that he has no back move.It's just that Tie Sheng is in prison now, and he has made perfect arrangements in this prison and sent secret guards to monitor him, so there shouldn't be much problem.

If Tie Sheng can't do it, then only the women of the Tie family can do it.

After all, compared to Tie Sheng who was imprisoned, all the female relatives in the mansion were locked in a courtyard, although guards were sent.But this is the Tie family, a place they are all very familiar with, what if they want to do it?Although difficult, it is not impossible.

He thought about it, in the information of all the female family members of the Tie family... yes,...

Jia Rong didn't know what suddenly came to mind, a sharp flash of sternness quickly flashed in the beautiful Danfeng's eyes, and then called Wu Ya to her, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing Jia Rong's words, Wu Ya was stunned, but soon recovered, and immediately left with fists in his hands.

Tie Sheng, you are smart, and I am not an idiot!

Fukujuin

This is the courtyard of Mrs. Tie, Tie Sheng's mother. Needless to say, the degree of wealth and luxury, as an old lady, the highest-ranking person in the backyard of the Tie family, this courtyard has always been the most lively.Every time, the daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and the granddaughter-in-law brought her great-grandson to invite Ann to laugh.

There are still a lot of people in this yard now, it can be said that it is rare to have such an opportunity, all the female relatives, no matter if they are serious masters, or aunts and housekeepers, are here.However, there was no trace of a smile, and the silence was even a little scary.

"Sister-in-law, do you know what happened? How could we be detained for no reason? Did elder brother say anything?"

It was the second wife who spoke, and Tie Sheng and the second master Tie De were two brothers from the same mother.The rest of the third master to the sixth master are all concubines, and they have no skills themselves. Naturally, their wives don't have enough confidence like the second wife to dare to ask questions in this atmosphere.

The eldest wife also rubbed her forehead with some headaches, "I know as much as you. At noon, the master and I were discussing sister Qing's marriage. The long follower beside the master said it was from the shop The steward came and wanted to discuss something important with the master, so the master left with others. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen at home within half an hour after the master left."

Although the master once said some things to her, it was a month ago. Let her pay more attention, but there is nothing wrong with it. The master came over at noon today. Apart from talking about sister Qing, Another thing is to tell her that everything has been resolved.No big deal anymore.Just let her do her best to prepare for Sister Qing's wedding.She was so happy at the time, who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the back of the master just as he left.She is also in a daze now, and she doesn't even know what happened?

Didn't they all say it was resolved?But why is it still like this now?

"What about you, mother? Eldest brother has always been the most filial to you? He..." The second wife turned pale when she heard what the elder wife said, and then she turned her head and asked.

Mrs. Tie is worthy of being the old lord of the Tie family. At this time, she was able to hold her own. She just closed her eyes and fiddled with the prayer beads on her wrist, muttering to herself.He turned a deaf ear to what the second wife said.

Seeing that Mrs. Tie did not speak, the second wife did not dare to ask.Because she also knew in her heart that no one else came here today except for a few young Mrs. Tie.

Although Mrs. Tie didn't speak and was able to hold her breath, it didn't mean that everyone else could hold her breath, especially the fourth and fifth wives who were always timid. Their faces were full of panic, and they were terrified. .Do not know how, tears flowed down.The fifth wife's youngest daughter, Miss Ten, is only five years old. Seeing that the fifth wife was crying, she also cried loudly along with the baby.

When Miss Ten cried, the rest of the younger ones also started crying.

All of a sudden, not to mention how lively the room was.

Everyone hurriedly coaxed, but no one noticed. Seventh girl, who was sitting next to the eldest lady, who had been silent all this time, turned her head back, slipped a small key out from her cuff, and quietly He handed it to a beautiful maid wearing gold and silver behind him, and then squeezed her hand.

This servant girl is called Piaoxue, and she is the first-class confidant in front of Seventh Miss Tie Hui, but when she saw that she took the key, she stepped back unpredictably, and after a short while, she withdrew from the living room, No one noticed.

Piaoxue retreated from the living room, walked around to the inside, opened the window, jumped out without any help.If other members of the Tie family saw it, they would not dare to believe their eyes.You must know that everyone in the mansion knows that Miss Piaoxue in front of Seventh Miss is the weakest person. In order to save Seventh Miss when she was young, she was hit by a bell and broke her foot bone, although she was healed.But there is not much force on this foot.

When walking on weekdays, it is a standard lotus step, and I dare not walk fast.

Now, he moves as lightly as a cat. In the blink of an eye, he came to a relatively low wall. He leaned his ears on the wall and listened. He didn’t see any sound for a long time. Then he took two steps back. , and then jumped forward.

When he got outside, he saw no one, and he moved quickly and disappeared quickly.

Dodging a few soldiers, Piaoxue soon arrived at Linglong Garden where Seventh Miss Tie Hui lived.At this time, there was no one in Linglong Garden, looking at the still bustling courtyard, she sighed invisibly in the bottom of her heart.At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard, which startled Piaoxue who was sighing in the courtyard, and then walked quickly to the east, and when she arrived in front of a porter, she entered in a flash. into a room.

This is the house where Piaoxue lived before.

The seventh girl, Tie Hui, is the youngest daughter of the eldest wife and Tie Sheng. As the youngest son of the eldest wife, she already has an advantage, plus her good looks and exquisite heart, she is naturally the winner. Do your best to win the favor of the eldest wife.Even the eldest son of the eldest wife and Tie Sheng, in front of Tie Hui, would take a step back.

As Seventh Girl's confidant maid, it goes without saying that she naturally lives in a room by herself.

Walking into the room, without any delay, he took out a letter from the bottom of his jewelry box and put it in his underwear.Then quickly put all the private money he had saved over the years into the small pocket of the belly pocket in his underwear.Then he tidied up all the valuable hairpin and ring jewelry in the jewelry box, and put them into his sleeve pockets separately.

After doing all this, Piaoxue came out of her room.

Then sneakily went to Seventh Girl's room.

It is still very exquisite, and the decorations everywhere are extraordinary, and they are still neat. Even in a small corner on the side, the incense burner is still emitting a curling aroma, which makes people feel refreshed.I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, there was no trace of flipping, and the things were still there.

Perhaps because of this fragrance, Piaoxue, who was still a little nervous, calmed down.Go to the dressing table, take out the small and exquisite key given to her by Miss Seven earlier, lift up the three-storey jewelry box on the left, and see a small eyehole at the bottom, if it is not intentional Look for it, I'm afraid you won't see it.

When the key was inserted, a slightly dull sound was heard.

Pull out the bottom layer, and there are all kinds of exquisite and precious bracelets inside. I don't care about these at this time, I reached out and touched it, and felt a smoothness.Overjoyed in his heart, he quickly took out two somewhat frivolous blue booklets as if by a magic trick.

Seeing these two booklets, a gleam of joy flashed across Piaoxue's face.

He quickly put the booklet into his arms.

After doing all this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.That's the time to do other things.Close up the jewelry box and put everything in order.From the bottom of a box, he took out two bank notes, both with a face value of 100 taels.Fold it well and put it in the smile pocket on your waist.

Just when she opened the door, the face with a few traces of joy immediately froze.

Jia Rong was flipping the blue booklet in her hand, and looked down again. The woman kneeling on the ground took a closer look, she was not just Piaoxue, she smiled lightly and said: "There are really many tricks! But It’s just a few account books. They are actually hidden in several places, and they are all hidden in places that people can’t easily think of. He really is a cunning and cunning person.” Looking at the girl who was kneeling on the ground, “Take her down, The acupoints were tapped, cartilage powder was fed, and it was easy to take care of it.”

Tie Sheng's youngest daughter is really smart and bright, living up to her name.It's just a pity that, after all, he was young and hadn't experienced any storms.I think that at this moment, the supervision of them is not reliable, and it is the best time to act.

Can she think of things that a little girl can think of, but she can't think of it?

But now, all the evidence is complete.

He only needs to wait for Longqi's imperial decree to come, and then he can start to do things drastically.
