[Red House] How to escape from a broken ship

There is a saying: the feet and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed even if they are innocent!The ancients never deceived me.

Jia Yan's real uncle, aunt, and cousins ​​all died when they took a boat to Huguang two years ago, and only escaped from a boy who grew up on the riverside.When the accident happened, the boy had diarrhea and was taking care of himself at the stern of the boat. When he realized something was wrong, he was so scared that he jumped into the water and watched the strongman kill his master's whole family.

The boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he tried his best to escape, managed to escape to the shore, and was rescued by others even sick and frightened.The kid talked a lot of nonsense during his illness, the person who rescued him was so frightened that he reported to the police, and the young man was so frightened that he told the truth during the trial.The local officials couldn't ignore such a matter, but the place where the accident happened was far away from the local area, and he didn't want to bother, so he simply took the kid into custody and locked him up until Xu Zhi took office.

Coincidentally, there is no such thing as a book. When Xu Zhi saw Jia Yan's letter, he immediately thought of the boy who was said to have been locked up in prison.He called to ask, and sure enough, Xu Zhi hurriedly wrote a letter, and sent servants to accompany him, escorting the boy back to Gusu.But Jia Yan ordered the servant to take a peek at the family. The servant trembled like a sieve, and he was dragged out tremblingly, and said to Jia Yan: "This old man, that man, that man was the one who was with our master back then." Wu San'er, his follower."

Ordering the boy to go down, Jia Yan read the letter again, and cursed viciously: "Beast!"

Daiyu's eyes were red with anger, she wanted to speak but then closed her mouth, she said after a while: "But if we report it to the authorities immediately, they will definitely shirk their responsibility and refuse to accept it, we have to find a way to let them act on their own." She sighed Dao, fortunately they were more careful, they have been trapped in the Lin Mansion during this period of time, and they have basically never been allowed out of the yard.

Jia Yan nodded, that's right, they are probably guilty of thieves, no, or they have other plans, and they know that it is impossible to believe them without evidence.That's why they acted like they don't care and are not afraid of investigation, because the people who can prove that their identities are fake are all dead... Good guy, scam, scammed to the Lin family!

Moreover, there are domestic slaves betraying their masters and colluding with robbers, which makes Jia Yan's teeth itch, but he also needs to consider what Daiyu said, how can they show their original prototype.Before there is no real evidence, you can't send it to the official. If this kind of thing is not handled properly, it will make the city full of storms and rumors.The Lin family cannot be allowed to suffer such an indiscriminate disaster...

Jia Yan rubbed his temples, this is really difficult, it's like tofu stained with ashes and can't be touched.Jia Yan's conceit can be regarded as courageous and scheming, but now he is stumped by a few liars. Daiyu saw the veins on his head bursting out, her face flushed, she hurriedly said: "People are still under our control, why don't you let him go?" They feel that we are going to believe us soon, and when they relax their vigilance, there will be a solution, and we are not angry with Bo Heng."

"Alas," Jia Yan was about to shed tears, he took Daiyu's hand, "How can I tell the old man in Beijing about this..."

Daiyu was also stunned, that's right, the Lin family originally had few children, and now there is such a sad news, alas, if the parents knew, they would feel so sad.She sighed: "It has to be said that even though they haven't mentioned it these years, the parents still hope that one day they can come back. If there is no news, that's all. Now, apart from such things, let's put these things first. After the beast is punished, send people to pay homage to it, and when you come back, set up a tomb, and tell your parents what happened here."

That's the only way to go, Jia Yan agreed, propped his head up and continued to think about how to pry those people's mouths open.When Li Qianru was being tried, he watched the whole process. To frighten such a pampered family member of the palace was nothing more than coercion, temptation and violence, and he usually did so.But the kind of person we are facing now must be a gangster or a seasoned liar who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years.

The couple were not in a good mood that night, they both tossed and turned, and finally got up and sat opposite each other to chat.Jia Yan said several ways, such as a showdown, lynching to extract confessions, or simply taking revenge on blood relatives to destroy them!But in the end, it was all rejected by Daiyu and himself. After all, two generations of the family were officials in the court.

Dawn had arrived, and the sound of the morning bell in Gusu City could be heard from a distance outside. Daiyu, who was drowsy, seemed to be awakened by the ringing of the temple bell, and she suddenly said: "I I remember seeing it in a notebook I forgot what it was called. In the past, an official once pretended to enter the underworld, and he could negotiate with the judge of the underworld, and he could use the gods to know whether the prisoner told the truth..."

"Huh?" Jia Yan didn't react at first, but he immediately sat up straight: "You mean?"

"I mean, can we set up a game and find a way to let the other party see the boy when he is most defenseless." Daiyu said: "The boy was with the boat at the time, and he was also with his cousin. They He must have seen it before. Although the other party is very brave and dares to deceive the Lin family as if nothing happened, but if he sees the dead come back to life..."

Jia Yan slapped her thigh, and then groaned, it hurts.He took Daiyu's hand and said, "It just occurred to me that the liar claimed to be Lin Song, and the real Lin Song should be our cousin. And our cousin Lin Bo, who we had no chance to meet, was with us when he was in trouble. This boy is almost grown up now! They get along day and night with master and servant, I want him to..." After he said this, Daiyu nodded repeatedly.

The time soon came to October. The first day of October is the Winter Clothes Festival, and the fifteenth day of October is the Xiayuan Festival. These are all "ghost festivals".

In the past ten days, Wu San'er was in a good mood. During this period of time, the servants of the Lin family showed a little more respect to the four of them. uncle".Moreover, before the Cold Clothes Festival, Jia Yan, the uncle of the Lin family—I heard that he was Tanhualang from the imperial court, met him in person, and although he did not explicitly acknowledge their identities in his speech, he invited him to visit his parents’ graves on the Cold Clothes Festival. And eat together.

Wu San'er seemed to be in control on the surface, but in fact she was very happy in her heart. It seems that they did not find any mistakes after their investigation.Those people did a good job, and when he inherited the family business as the only direct male in the Lin family, he would naturally not treat them badly.So what about being an official? The sky is high and the emperor is far away. When you are your own master, do you still care about them?

Ha ha.

But this Cold Clothes Festival is really frightening. Wu San'er felt chills in his back when he heard the servants of the Lin family standing at the door with their clothes in their hands and shaking their voices to invite ancestors and deceased family members to pick up the cold clothes.But who is Wu San'er, since he dared to collude with water bandits and impostor, he would not believe in karma.

Putting irrelevant emotions behind her, Wu San'er happily came to Jia Canjun's banquet. The small banquet for the Cold Clothes Festival was not particularly rich, but the vegetarian wine on the table was extraordinarily mellow.With a smile on his face and eyes, Jia Yan repeatedly tried to persuade him to drink, Wu San'er also let go of his guard at the moment, he just kept his mouth shut, who can resist him!

Wu San'er is not stupid, he was a little drunk, and he wanted to leave again and again, but was kept by the enthusiastic Jia Yan, saying that their cousins ​​should catch up on the old days.Hearing this, Wu San'er was overjoyed, this was the mantra of the other party after drinking, and he really believed in his identity.He was about to cry when he left, curling his lips, and suffocated, saying how difficult it was for his parents to do business outside.

Jia Yan listened, smiled, and came outside to deliver wine. He pointed to the jug and said, "Cousin, come and taste this wine." Beside the boy, stood a young man with a blue face, who looked very familiar!

That was really the youngest son of Master Lin, the second young master Lin Bai who had been stabbed by him... He had dark circles in his eyes, and he looked at him blankly.Wu San'er felt that the wind was blowing, but neither Jia Yan next to him nor the kid holding the pot in front seemed to see this person.Wu San'er secretly inhaled, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it must be her eyesight that made a mistake.

He rubbed his eyes and mustered up the courage to look over, only to find that the second young master was smiling at him.That smile was like a reminder, Wu San'er trembled, Jia Yan was still smiling beside him and said, "What's the matter, cousin?"

"You, you, you, didn't you see?" His voice was broken, and he couldn't speak normally at all.Jia Yan shook her head blankly, what did she see?Seeing the bewildered expressions of Jia Yan and the boy holding the pot, Wu San'er screamed, rolled from the chair to the ground, and wailed, "Don't come here, don't come here!" But he watched the second young master walking towards him , and the people next to him didn't give way, it seemed that the second young master came through the crowd, obviously it was a ghost!

Wu San'er curled up on the cold ground, sober from the wine, he looked at the "Lin Bo" who was getting closer, peed his pants in fright, and shrank into the corner dragging the water stains.But at this moment, a soft voice called "Wu San'er", and Wu San'er subconsciously replied "I am here, save me!" Song, Lin Song!

Jia Yan sneered and clapped hands, the surrounding curtains were lowered, and the lamps were lit. Apart from the guards sent by Xu Zhi, there were also the aides and head catchers of the prefect in Gusu City standing outside.Under the eyes of everyone, Wu San'er's spirit had already collapsed, and when he looked at that young master Lin Bai, there was no shadow under the light, he had no shadow!

"Ah!!" Wu San'er grabbed the ground with his head, "I'm not a human, I'm an animal, Second Young Master, please let me go, Second Young Master!"

Now that the matter has developed, everyone here basically understands that this person is indeed an impostor, and that the house slave is hiding evil intentions after betraying his master, murdering and stealing goods.And Jia Yan drank another glass of wine with a smile, then smashed the glass to pieces, and stepped forward to pick up Wu San'er's collar: "Isn't it still recruiting now? Wu San'er, you can't do this job alone , You recruited, sir, I will leave you a whole body, otherwise I will kill you alive right now, and comfort my uncle and his family in heaven!"

After speaking, he threw the man to the ground, and Chang Sheng and A Yuan tied him up. At this moment, Wu San'er could no longer speak.The prefect of Gusu, er, a staff member, came over and said, "Jia Canjun, leave this person to us, and he will definitely give him an explanation after the trial." Jia Yan replied, "Please trouble me, Mr., and the women and children he brought, hand them over to us together." Your house.

When the guard took the four of them to the prison, the day was over. Jia Yan returned to the upper room and found that Daiyu had prepared a brazier for him. "Come over quickly, let's get rid of the bad luck. I asked Xueyan and Jiayu to prepare a brazier for those who will do this job today. It's a good idea. Don't let the servants feel cold."

"It's good to have a daughter-in-law." Jia Yan stepped over and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law is careful. Well, this matter is finally over, and the rest is up to the prefect of Gusu. If the case is handled well, it is up to him , Brother Yu Zhengxing are all meritorious deeds. After it is reported to the Ministry of Punishment for sentencing, people will go there to recall the soul and set up a tomb, and write a letter to inform parents and adults."

Daiyu raised her eyebrows, what Jia Yan called just now was, parents, parents... She didn't say anything, nor was she surprised, she just smiled and said: "Don't forget, before the next Yuan Festival, we have to go to Jinling to sacrifice to our parents." Paying respects to sweeping the grave, I should also pay my respects in a serious manner."

Jia Yan smiled, and set off for Jinling on the day after tomorrow.

Jinling City was still the same, it took only a day for Gusu to come to Jinling and back, the couple got up early and took a boat, and arrived in Jinling City in the afternoon with smooth sailing.They came here in a low-key manner, but they didn't want to. Donghai Hou's family was waiting for Mrs. Jia Canjun and his wife at the pier.Jia Yan frowned as he looked at the greeting post. He was afraid that the visitor was not kind, so he told Ah Yuan to call back: You just tell them that Grandma and I have to pay respects to our parents' tomb first, and then we can visit the princess and Lord Marquis.

"A Yuan, tell them that my uncle and I will definitely come to visit." Daiyu interjected. Seeing that Jia Yan had nothing to say, A Yuan withdrew after saying nothing. Staring at you for more than a day or two, I'm afraid I know everything I need to know. You can't hide, so it's better to hold the initiative in your hands."

Jia Yan said: "Then... let's pay homage to our parents' tombs, then meet relatives and friends, and then send a post to visit Donghaihou and his wife directly." Daiyu only said one word: kindness.

Still bathing, fasting and wearing plain clothes, and visiting the tombs of her parents, Daiyu stood in front of the tombs and said piously: "Parents are here, daughter-in-law Lin's Daiyu kowtows, may the two adults have spirits in the spring, and bless Boheng safe."

Jia Yan knelt beside her, but prayed silently in her heart: Please parents bless your daughter-in-law to live a long life, and our husband and wife will love each other for a hundred years.

Don't bother your parents about your children, just work hard on your own.If there is, there is, and if there is no, there is no. Jia Yan helped Daiyu and asked the family members who were in charge of the four-season sacrifice to visit the grandma.Naturally, there is also Jia Yan's nanny, Han Fengshi, who is the grandpa's nurse. Daiyu asked her to sit down first, and Han Fengshi sat down obliquely, looking at Daiyu with a smile in her heart and eyes.

How wonderful, their uncle should be with a good-looking girl like the eldest girl, live a good life, and be a family, that's great!

"You are a grandpa and nanny, and you have supported him all the way up, unlike others." Daiyu said with a smile: "You can sit still, nanny, but I won't let you go back. If Changsheng wants to be filial, he has to wait until night."

Jia Yan also smiled and said: "Yes, you can sit down at home. When you should get your baby son and daughter-in-law, let's have dinner together. Don't worry, Mammy, I told him about Changsheng, you go home at night. Give him a welcome in Haosheng."

Everyone laughed, but Han Fengshi still refused to meet them face to face, Daiyu didn't force her, and prepared a small couch and kang table for Han Fengshi.The three were chatting and laughing while waiting for lunch, during which they mentioned the matter of A Yuan, and Daiyu said: "Mammy also said that you are an old man, and you have seen a lot."

She was sincere, and Han Feng was naturally not pretentious, so he stood up and said with a smile: "If you listen to me, grandpa and grandma, then I will see that Ah Yuan is not willing to go out. It is obvious that the Tian family will not let him return. Genealogy, Tian Ziyuan is dead, and he is as rootless as duckweed. Over the years, as long as the members of our family are loyal to the uncle, they are like our own family. A Yuan was suddenly released. Where should he go? If you still let him stay at home, what kind of status is this? I also understand the meaning of the uncle, he must do what he says, the character of a scholar, but A Yuan is really pitiful."

Jia Yan sighed. In fact, Ah Yuan hadn't come to talk to him for so long, so he felt that the kid wanted to pass this matter off as if he hadn't mentioned it. "Forget it, she persuaded me," Jia Yan pointed at Daiyu, "Now the nanny says the same thing. Forget it, I'll ask him again. If he doesn't want to, forget it."

"Well, there is something, I would like to ask Grandma for grace." Han Fengshi was a little embarrassed: "I have a little daughter, the little sister of Changsheng. Back then, she received the grace of Grandpa and let her go out after she was born. He is thick and clumsy and doesn't like to talk, but he is diligent in doing things. Don't dare to hide the truth from my uncle. My old man is thinking about marrying his daughter now, and I don't know why he is in a hurry. If the grandma doesn't dislike her, take her away, Han Feng is very grateful."

Who is Daiyu?Qiqiao Linglong's heart knew that there was something inside this matter as soon as she heard it, and with a wink, Xueyan and the others retreated with the waiters.It was only then that Han Feng burst into tears: "My family's lard-covered man somehow gambled with others and lost hundreds of taels of silver. Then he will let his daughter be a little grandma. My daughter is only thirteen. Hey, how could this be so. Well, when you and the uncle come back, I can finally see the light of day!"

The old man begged and wept, but the smile on Jia Yan's face was gone. Daiyu took a deep breath, and helped Han Feng herself up: "Don't cry, mother, I will deal with this matter!" Old man, then Jia Yan asked someone to call Han Changsheng, and then Changsheng, who knew nothing, knew why his sister's eye circles were red when he went home just now, but his father was nowhere to be seen.

Gritting his teeth angrily, Jia Yan comforted him instead, and he still needs to find out what's going on.Daiyu looked at Jia Yan who sent someone to look for Han Chang, and she had a feeling in her heart. She had heard Jia Yan say that although Chang Sheng's father, Han Chang, was sometimes confused, he had never heard of a bad habit of gambling. She intuitively thought that This matter is not simple.
