[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

"Why do you know people from all levels of education." Liang Shi was obviously dissatisfied with his younger brother's casual friendship, Liang Ji smiled disapprovingly.Jia Yan smoothed things over and said, "It's not a bad thing to get to know more people. Aji is still young, so it's rare to be able to play with someone like Liu Xianglian."

When young people "play" together, no matter what they are playing, they are not willing to bring along young people who are too young.One is worrying about the blame from the family, and the other is that the children do not have all their hair, which is troublesome and they cannot play together.Liu Xianglian recognized Baoyu, and she probably played well, and she should also be very good with those honorable princes, not someone who has never seen the market.

Such a person can play with Liang Ji, which is enough to prove that Liang Ji can understand them mentally, and they don't think Liang Ji is young.

In fact, Liang Shi couldn't control his younger brother. There were three cousins ​​in their family. For Liang Ji, Liang Xuan and Liang Shi were a little bit powerless.Liang Shi could only say one thing, Jia Yan tried to smooth things over, but Liang Ji didn't think so, so he had to retreat.And Liang Xuan didn't give up that kind of energy anymore, he was old after all, and now his second uncle Liang Jima often asked Liang Ji to go out to run errands, Liang Xuan already felt it.

"That Xue Pan," Jia Yan and Daiyu sat under the window and sipped tea—this year's new tea: Yuqian Longjing, "Baoyu's cousin, did you hear it when you went to Rongfu?"

Daiyu took the teacup Jia Yan handed over, inspecting its color first, smelling its fragrance, and finally tasting it slowly.She said: "Then Xue Pan is the elder brother of sister Xue's family. It's just that I heard my second cousin and the younger sisters mention what happened to that brother. I didn't expect it at the time. Seeing him like this today, I suddenly remembered, no It was the son of the Xue family who you said when you came back from the exam and said that Mr. Yucun was protecting the magistrate of Jinling!"

Jia Yan nodded silently: "Yes, this is the man. He sounds like a reckless person. I don't know what will happen to Liu Xianglian."

"If Boheng is worried, you might as well send someone to visit Liu's house tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Daiyu said with a smile, "If you don't know where his house is, you can ask Baoyu or Brother Liang Ji, it's all right. "

Jia Boheng was really worried, he didn't care about the Xue family, he just felt that if he got to know Baoyu once, if his cousin made something happen in the capital, it wouldn't look good after all.The capital city is no better than Jinling, and the Xue family lives in the Rong Mansion. When something really happens, it will bring disgrace to himself and even the Lin Mansion.

To say that misfortunes never come singly, Xue Pan has always been spoiled by his mother, and when he returned home after being beaten, Mrs. Xue immediately wet her veil with tears.He also heard Xue Pan yelling: "Get someone to arrest him, that Liu Xianglian is an unreasonable villain!"

If Xue Baochai was at home, of course she would persuade her mother that it would be a good thing for her brother to suffer, and besides, wouldn't it be honorable to tell her aunt about such things?However, that day she was flattering the old lady with the sisters of the Jia family, so she missed the moment to dissuade her mother. When she returned home, her good mother had already listened to her son and told the second wife, Mrs. Wang The same as the second grandmother, Sister Feng.

It's very lively now, you need to know that although Mrs. Wang claims to be a Buddha with a heart and doesn't care about things, but now her sisters and nephews are beaten like that, it's scary.This is not allowed!But she thought of Jia Zheng's views on Xue Pan, and she shed two tears with Mrs. Xue, crying "a loving mother who worries about evil", and then said: "Madam Feng sent Wan Er's famous post to Wan The magistrate of Ping County sent a letter telling them to arrest people! If they beat people openly, what will the child of our family do with the surname Liu!"

Sister Feng is even more willing to take care of things, and it was her own cousin who was beaten, so she naturally responded in a hurry.As for Wanping County, she is only a county magistrate. She even dared to take care of Chang'an's garrison and Jiedushi's affairs, so what is a county magistrate!

So, before Jia Yan had time to talk to Baoyu, things got serious...

The cause was Wanping county magistrate, this magistrate was not yet [-] years old, but Xu Zhitong Ke Jinshi - surnamed Kang Mingsong, courtesy name Tingmei, the most strict self-discipline and upright character.

The county magistrate of Kang received a post this day, and the envelope was inscribed "Jia Lian, Tong Zhi". Kang Tingmei thought that there was no such person in the same class and class, who is this person?While opening the letter for a look, I found that the main content of the letter was to report to the officials: it said that Xue, an imperial merchant in Beijing, was beaten in Wanping County. .

The letter was well written, but Kang Tingmei was born as a Jinshi, and she read the taste of being bossy and condescending from her heart lightly and skillfully.But after all, he is one of the parents. Since the dignified Tongzhi came to report to the official, then Kang Tingmei must let go of her displeasure and investigate first.He sent two groups of people to find the plaintiff Xue and the defendant Liu.

As a result, Liu came to the scene, and Xue said that he was severely beaten and refused to go to court, so he only asked the old servant to come.This is also understandable, but seeing the old servant's high-spirited look, Kang Tingmei inevitably felt displeased with the Xue family.But when he saw Liu Xianglian's dignified appearance and good conversation, he felt a little fond of Liu Xianglian, and he didn't scold and ask what happened.

At this moment, I knew it naturally. It turned out that Xue was a libertine, he had misbehavior, and was beaten when he wanted to misbehave, and he dared to sue the wicked first!Not only Liu himself confessed so, but also several sons who were with them that day could make confessions. It was tolerable and unbearable. Kang Tingmei sent someone to inform Xue once again: this case will be sentenced, if the plaintiff can go to court, or Go to court yourself.

Xue Pan was complacent at home, thinking he could see Liu Xianglian's ugliness, but he didn't expect a little Wanping county magistrate to refute Rongguo Mansion's face and release Liu Xianglian, but instead admonished himself a few words?Uncle Xue can't believe it, is this magistrate of Kang County stupid?

Xue Pan, who was upset, shook his fist with Liu Xianglian at the gate of the Wanping County Yamen. Feng Ziying and others who came to join in the fun and spoke for Liu Xianglian hurriedly stopped him. Kang Tingmei, who was still in the lobby, was furious when he heard about the situation outside. , patted the gavel and let the yamen servants and the police quickly detain Xue Pan.Xue Pan, who was pinned to the ground, yelled, "It's just a seventh-rank county magistrate, and there are as many wild dogs in Beijing!"

"Using force in front of the imperial court is not a small courage!" Kang Ting did not interrogate Xue Pan, and first detained Xue Pan, and the servants of Xue's family rushed back to the city to report the news.

Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying and the others were also stunned by Xue Pan's level of bastard. They turned around and said to the county magistrate that Xue Pan is a relative of the Rongfu. It would be bad if Gui County just detained him like this.

When Kang Tingmei heard that these young masters were familiar with each other, she asked: "Since you all know each other, I would like to ask, is Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion?"

Liu Xianglian said that she was the son of the eldest son of Rongfu.Feng Ziying also inadvertently mentioned: "Jia Tongzhi has always had a lot of face in front of the King of Qi. You should be cautious in Gui County. The magistrate of Kang County is an upright person. I can't bear to see Zhongliang encounter difficulties."

"Your Excellency?" Kang Tingmei couldn't help but cast a suspicious look at Feng Ziying when she heard the voice, and she saw Feng Ziying said in a sullen voice: "My father is a general of martial arts, Feng Yutang."

Kang Tingmei understood.

As I said before, he and Xu Zhi and Xu Zhengxing are Jinshi of the same discipline, and their tutors at the time of the examination were Dong Ze and Dong Chunyu, who are cabinet scholars.This Lord Dong, like the chief assistant Chu Jin and Chu Yishen, is an official who holds high the banner of "ritual law" and must fight for the status of Yan Wang Situ Chan.

Kang Tingmei asked Liu Xianglian, Feng Ziying and others to leave, and immediately wrote a letter to her teacher Dong Chunyu, explaining the matter clearly, emphasizing that Jia Lian intervened in court proceedings as an acquaintance, which is a taboo!It can't be tolerated, and he said that Jia Lian was a pawn of Qi Wang Pengzu, and now he is obviously bullying others.

Anyway, when Jia Yan heard the news, King Qi had already been ordered by the emperor to kneel in front of the Zichen Hall without his hat to reflect on the grounds that he "suspectedly connived at donated officials to intervene in the lawsuit".Jia Yan was in the Chu Palace, but he sent Han Changsheng to the Lin family, and hurriedly told his mother-in-law Jia Min: Please be careful, the Rongguo Mansion may also lose its skin over this matter.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Xue was crying with the second wife, Wang Shi, and Sister Feng: "What a bold seventh-rank county magistrate, who doesn't even look down on the mansion, and puts Pan'er in jail. Pan'er is a How can you be arrested without even a single charge if you are in a hurry to fight with others!"

Mrs. Wang originally pushed this matter to Sister Feng, but now she is impatient. Not only is her natal nephew imprisoned, but Rongguo Mansion has been slapped in the face!But a seventh-rank official, how can he be so bold!

Lin Hai knew about this early on, but he didn't tell Jia Zheng. There are two reasons: first, Lin Hai thought that it might be a good thing if the Rong Mansion was kept away from King Qi's fight for the heir apparent this time, so as to avoid difficulties in the future; Second, Lin Hai wanted to see if Jia Yan could help the king of Chu to benefit from the inevitable battle between King Yan and King Qi?

If so, Lin Hai has nothing to worry about.If not... Lin Hai will join forces with Liang Yizhi to make a move.He rummaged through the documents at hand. The Ministry of Household Affairs checked the land income in the suburbs of Beijing and other matters last year, and found something wrong.The buttocks of the two gangs, King Yan and King Qi, were not clean. Some things were always subtle, and what they said could have many meanings in the ears of the emperor.

Some were even fatal, Lin Hai smiled, just waiting to see what the King of Chu would do.

However, Liu Xuan, Marquis of Dingcheng, was slapping his thigh: "Our grandson was born late! If King Ning is also out of the palace to start a mansion now, we can also get involved and get rid of two, it is two."

Grandson Liu Guan asked: "Grandfather, how can you be sure that two will fall?"

"Hehe," Dingcheng Hou laughed loudly: "Boy, you still have something to learn. If you have two sons, the eldest and the second are both black-eyed chickens, would you be happy if you wished to put your own brothers to death? Sigh , now only your grandfather and I can think of this level, the better His Majesty treats the children, the angrier he will be."

Liu Xuan was wrong, he was not the only one who would have thought of the same thing, Jia Yan was talking to Situ Kuo: "Also invite Qi Ye to go to the palace."

"Pleading for fourth brother, or saying that third brother did the right thing? Or recommending himself to investigate this matter." Situ Kuo felt that now is not a good time to enter the palace.

Jia Yan and Situ Kuo looked at each other and said with a smile, "No, please enter the palace to comfort His Majesty the Emperor."
