Red House Farm Stay

When Jia Zhuo proposed it, it seemed that the scope was very small. Only after he actually did it did he realize that almost every woman in every household knows how to weave such things as sacks.The people in charge of the business all collected from each household, and then sold them to big households together.

It is by no means an easy task to find out where they came from among so many sacks.Even if they find out, the weavers may not remember who they have sold to for so many years, and who they sold the sacks to.

The clue of the sack is broken, and only the thread of food can be followed.

Jia Lan felt that it was impossible for so much moldy food to be created out of thin air, and there had to be a place to store it before.If you can find out where these grains come from, you will get most of the truth.

"The granaries in Jinling are divided into official granaries and private granaries. The official granaries are managed by the Ministry of Finance and belong to the Ministry of Households. New grain is replaced every year. It is unlikely that there will be moldy grain that has been stored for five years. Our focus is still Go check private warehouses and ask whose warehouses have handled moldy grains."

Jia Lan's analysis was straightforward, and Wang Gou'er also nodded, "The second master's matter is also our matter, so we should help with this matter. I will contact some people I know, and then ask them to contact them in private. My lord is in the open. We are in the dark, and we will investigate together, so as not to miss it."

"Uncle Wang, you can just call me by my name. It's fine for people outside to call you my lord. Why are the hairs on my body standing on end when my family shouts like that?" Jia Lan hurriedly cupped her hands, staring at Jia Zhuo's eyes Yet?

"Master Lan." Wang Gou'er called out with a smile, and went to collect people he knew, and immediately began to inquire about news.

"Sister Qiao." As soon as Jia Zhuo went back, he saw Ping'er standing at the second gate waiting for her.

After listening to her talk about the progress of the investigation, she frowned.Jia Zhuo didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say: "Anyway, the Empress Dowager believes him, right. When the emperor's anger subsides..."

"No..." Ping'er suddenly hugged Qiao Jie, her eyes were filled with despair, "That woman has no family affection at all. She doesn't listen to my explanation at all, and has already decided that your father has failed her. "

Ping'er closed his eyes and tried his best to sweep out the hysterical scene he saw in the palace, but he still couldn't.The empress's ferocious face, I'm afraid she will never forget it in her life.

Jia Peng didn't listen to Ping'er's explanation, and believed that Jia Lian's will never change, and said a lot of nasty things, and even let Ping'er understand the general situation, it's best not to let this matter affect other people in the clan, especially Jia Lan .

"And us, we won't give up on him. As long as he really hasn't done anything, we will be able to find the person who framed him." Jia Zhuo smiled wryly, the last insurance was broken, this time he was really cornered .

She and Jia Lan believed in Jia Lian and were working hard to get rid of his crimes.These efforts are all their private actions.But this case was taken over by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and they didn't believe Jia Lian.

The first thing the Criminal Ministry did was to find Jia Liu's whereabouts. In the end, it was the Ministry of Criminal Justice that sent the news the fastest, and they found Jia Liu.

Jia Liu has turned into a corpse in a deep well. He died of murder without accident, and was thrown into the well after being strangled to death.

So the Ministry of Punishment added another sum to Jia Lian's file, killing one of Jia Liu's suspects.Because the last person who saw Jia Liu was Jia Lian. They met for a drink, and Jia Liu was killed and thrown away on the way home.

Jia Lian had time to kill someone before returning home. No matter how Jia Lian denied it, he could not produce any more favorable evidence for him.

"He invited me to dinner that day, and he said that he had something to talk about, and told me not to take anyone with me, but to go there alone." Jia Lian was extremely annoyed, why did he lose his head, and believed him so much.

"This shows that the people behind Jia Liu are very powerful." Dare to kill people, dare to frame the royal family, and dare to profit from moldy grain and grass, all of which show that this person's identity is not trivial.Jia Zhuo felt that this matter might not be what they thought at the beginning. It was as simple as Jia Liu and some people wanting money.

"Did the second uncle offend someone recently? This is obviously a way to punish people." Jia Lan also had a headache. The Jia family's foundation in the court is too weak, so I don't usually think it. Everyone is good to you.At such a fatal time, you know that these people are unreliable.

"Who can I offend? Everyone drinks wine and eats meat together. I, I really didn't offend anyone." Jia Lian in the prison became more and more restless.

Not only did the matter not progress, but the more it developed, the more unfavorable it was for him.

He firmly grasped the cell door, and asked eagerly: "What about your mother, has your mother entered the palace? What does your mother say? Let her beg the queen to let me go home first, and I promise not to go anywhere."

Jia Zhuo couldn't bear to look at his face, so he turned his head away, and Jia Lian's eyes turned to Jia Lan again, Jia Lan lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

"She, she doesn't care about me..." Jia Lian fell to the ground with a look of disbelief.

"She also has her difficulties." Jia Zhuo had to explain for her.

"Difficulties, yes, difficulties..." Jia Lian had turned his back on them and stopped looking at them, "Let's go."

"We'll come back next time. Uncle Wang asked me to take care of it with you. He was going to come too. He just received a message from a middleman saying that there was a large amount of grain coming in and out of a granary a few days ago. He rushed to investigate."

Jia Lan pulled Jia Zhuo up, "Let's go, come back next time, there will definitely be good news for Second Uncle."

"Father, we're leaving. We've taken care of all the guards here. Don't make trouble with your body."

It was not until they left for a long time that Jia Lian slowly turned around.

His face was pale and pale, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After leaving the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jia Zhuo suddenly turned his head in another direction, and Jia Lan hurriedly grabbed her, "Wrong, this is the right side."

"You were wrong... well, it's too late." Jia Zhuo had to see a young man walking in front of them with a sunny smile on his face.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here?" Jia Lan greeted Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing was Du Xiao's friend, so Jia Lan naturally recognized him.

"I'm here to wait for you, are you particularly touched?" Jiang Jing opened his arms, but didn't get the expected hug, so he could only touch his nose in embarrassment, "Then what, Du Xiao asked me to see, is there anything?" Can help."

"Thank you." As soon as Jia Lan patted him on the shoulder, Jiang Jing immediately cheered up, "When the emperor calms down, let's put all the responsibility on Jia Liu. It might be difficult for Huo Shangshu, but at worst, we can get good food for him." If he changes back, isn't this what he wants? Don't worry, let my old man talk to him about it, and nothing serious will happen. "

"Wait a minute, what did you mean just now, that you also think my father did this?" Jia Zhuo couldn't help asking.

"Sister Qiao, you should go back." Jia Lan interrupted her and pushed her into the carriage.He lowered his voice and said: "Be sensible, we know that your father is innocent, and the most important thing now is to save his life."

"I'm being reckless." Jia Zhuo took a deep breath, closed the car curtain, and pressed his chest to prevent this feeling of desolation from coming to his heart.

The clues obtained by Wang Gou'er have nothing to do with Jia Lian's case.

They ran over every clue they could get, but they still couldn't see the possibility of a breakthrough.

"At times like this, we have to learn to compromise." Everyone gathered in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment once again, and deliberately stuffed money into the cell to let them enter the cell, just to have a good talk with Jia Lian.

Jia Zhuo brought the meals cooked by Ping'er, as well as the wine Jia Lian usually likes to drink.Wang Gou'er brought some roast chicken bought outside and sipped a dime of soju, and sat on the floor listening to Jia Lan explain his arrangement.

"You mean, let me plead guilty?" Jia Lian took the shochu bought by Wang Gou'er, downed a glass in one gulp, and said with a sad smile, "So, what I'm eating now is the meal of decapitation."

"Father..." Jia Zhuo called out loudly.

"The current evidence is very unfavorable to the second uncle. We can't even find any evidence in your favor. If this drags on, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will close the case sooner or later, and it will be too late to think of a way. Jiang Jing has already convinced his father that he will Plead with Huo Shangshu, let's get together and replace the food. I will also beg him to forgive me, as long as he doesn't pursue it, the emperor will look at the face of the empress, and he will come out after being punished."

Jia Lan emphasized his tone, "Second Uncle, if the green hills are here, I'm not afraid of running out of firewood."

"Sister Qiao, you also want me to plead guilty?" Jia Lian looked at her daughter and drank another glass of wine.

"I..." Jia Zhuo covered his mouth, unable to speak.

Of course she didn't want Jia Lian to plead guilty, and now her heart feels as uncomfortable as being cut by sawtooth.But the matter was right in front of them, they had already done everything they could do, and if they dragged on, it would really be hopeless.

"I don't plead guilty." Jia Lian tore off a chicken leg, took a bite, looked at them and said.

Jia Zhuo was startled, she thought it would not be difficult to convince Jia Lian about this, because he is such a person who doesn't care about fairness and justice at all, and thinks that everything in the world can be solved with relationships and money.If it can't be solved, it's just because the relationship is not strong enough and the money is not enough.

But he didn't expect that he would disagree.

"You think..." Jia Lian pointed at her head with the greasy finger that took the chicken leg, "Do you think that I was framed and locked up in this kind of ghost place, and I would think about nothing but my life experience? You are wrong , I think very clearly, we have been messed up, our Jia family has been messed up."

Everyone looked at Jia Lian, and Jia Lan said solemnly, "Second Uncle, at a time like this, you don't want to..."

"Listen to him." Jia Zhuo stopped Jia Lan.

Jia Lian held out the empty wine glass in his hand, and Wang Gou'er filled it up for him. They touched each other and drank in one gulp.

"The other party has already arrived, and we have only one way to plead guilty. There are two results. One is the situation we thought. After we have established a relationship, we can settle it with money and come back after a little punishment. The second is that we The situation I thought was broken in an instant, all the conditions negotiated before were overturned after I pleaded guilty, and then I was regarded as a typical example, killing chickens for monkeys to see."

"It's impossible..." Jia Lan couldn't help interjecting, "And I will definitely clear all the dredging before then."

Jia Lian looked at his nephew and smiled wryly, "What's the first result? I'm tied to you. I'm a criminal, and you are the one who helps the criminal. Our concubine's side can no longer survive. Be a straight man. In the future, the Seventh Prince will be really lucky, and it will definitely not be the responsibility of any of us, because the Seventh Prince cannot make a person who has a stain as the Duke of the country. Otherwise, how can the people talk about it. "

Seeing that Jia Lian actually thought about what happened so long later, everyone was a little bit unconcerned.

But Jia Lian didn't care, and continued: "If it is the second result, if I die, our branch will completely decline, and Jia Lan will lose prestige in Jia's family because of the failure of the rescue. If someone picks him up again, say he Intentionally killing me, the position of the Duke of the future is also impossible. In short, these two results are life and death from a close look, but the results from a distance are exactly the same. It is to put me and Jialan away from the empress's side. Elimination, so that we can no longer be the help of the empress, but become a burden."

Everyone was quiet and had to admit that what Jia Lian said was very reasonable.

But if so, who would it be?Which family member of the Jia family has the ability to frame Jia Lian, and can plan so far.

"There is a person, the direct branch of the Jia family, who is backed by someone who holds great power. As long as you fall, he can lead the Jia family without any objection from the clan members." After Jia Zhuo finished speaking, everyone understood.

Jia Rong, who was attached to King Zhongyong, served as the chief historian of the palace. He was good at dancing, and his handwriting can be seen in several cases of house raids.

"He asked someone to try again and again, hoping to reconcile with us. But in the end he didn't succeed, probably because he felt that since he couldn't cooperate, he should just kill us and replace him." During these days in prison, Jia Lian's mind began to become incomparable. Sober, on the contrary, compared with these people who are exhausted outside, they want to understand the cause and effect earlier.

"No wonder we couldn't find it right. It wasn't a private warehouse at all, it was an official warehouse." Jia Lan called out and punched his thigh. No wonder he couldn't find it right. It turned out that he was looking in the wrong direction.

However, there is moldy grain in the official storehouse that has been stored for five years. How is this possible?Jia Lan suddenly realized that he seemed to have lifted a great cover.

"So, why not..."

"No."

"No."

Before Jia Lian finished speaking, Jia Lan and Jia Zhuo shouted at the same time.

Only Wang Gou'er didn't speak, but poured wine for Jia Lian and himself, and drank it down.

"I have already felt guilty once, and I don't want to feel guilty again. Last time I could say that I was a child, but this time, how can I shirk responsibility for myself? If I promise you now, what face do I have to face Qiao? Sis, how can I kneel down in the ancestral hall and call them filial sons and grandsons in front of everyone in the Jia family?"

Jia Lan was very excited, but Jia Zhuo was very calm, "I guess, you want to write a blood letter to the emperor, and then commit suicide. Anyway, if you are dead, the emperor will not be able to continue to be angry, and Huo Shangshu will not cling to it anymore." There is a great chance that you will be found not guilty, and then you will catch anyone and take everything. In this way, you can save Jia Lan, and the Jia family will still not fall into the hands of Jia Rong and become loyal and brave. The king's vassal or accomplice, right?"

"You are wrong. You are dead. He can still deal with Jia Lan. Who will help him? You should know better than anyone else that even a woman can easily plot against him." Jia Zhuo continued.

Jia Lan coughed a few times and laughed unnaturally. Seeing Jia Zhuo glaring at him, she immediately closed her mouth and dared not speak.

"You will tell Ping'er everything, and Ping'er will also enter the palace." Jia Lian drank another glass of wine.

"So, you are reminding that woman that she has a better choice." Jia Zhuo was expressionless. No matter how close the relationship between Jia Rong and King Zhongyong was, even King Zhongyong would not be able to become a prince when he ascended the throne.But if he is used by the empress and the seventh prince ascends the throne, there is a great possibility that he can be made a Duke.

Jia Peng is so smart, wouldn't she know how to persuade Jia Rong?

Jia Lian's face collapsed, "I finally thought about being brave for a while."

"Brave and stupid are two different things." Jia Zhuo grabbed his sleeve rudely and took out a wine glass from it.

A fine white porcelain wine glass, if broken, is a sharp blade that can easily cut off a person's blood vessels.

"Sister Qiao..." Jia Lian let her take away the wine glass, and suddenly smiled, "I think this must be very difficult for you. You hate our corrupt families so much, and those exchanges that go beyond fairness and justice. But you Willing to compromise for me, honestly, it makes me happier than knowing that woman is queen."

"I hate it, but I know you are wronged. As long as it can save you, I can try any method. If the result is good, I can use the method I hate." She is not so pedantic that she can't see a little darkness. To achieve a good result, even if the process is dark, she can accept it.

If the change turned out to be dark, no matter how upright the process was, she would not be able to accept it.She felt that she was a typical little person in the market, a very realistic little person with a little sense of justice.

"A place like a prison cell, you are a girl's house, so come as little as you can." When they left, Jia Lian looked at her daughter and said very distressed.

Without waiting for Jia Zhuo to speak, Jia Lian said again: "It's not that I miss one time, I'm still waiting for you to rescue me out."

"Okay." Jia Zhuo nodded.

"Jiang Jing, is he really credible?" The three people who came out went directly to the study of Jia Lan's house, and they wanted to make a new plan.

"He should be credible, but his father doesn't know." Jia Lan had a drink in the prison, and his thoughts seemed to have matured to a new height.It's like being tricked by Meirui once before, and after waking up, she never made the same mistake again.

He may not be the most intelligent person in the world, but Shengzai will never fall twice in the same place.

Moreover, I also learned to draw inferences from one instance.It immediately occurred to him that Jiang Jing might have been sent to guide them on purpose, but Jiang Jing might also have been kept in the dark.Those seasoned politicians, as long as they can achieve their goals, will never mind playing with their sons.

"If it's an official warehouse, I'm afraid it's not easy to check." Wang Gou'er is concerned about the most practical issues.

Both Jia Zhuo and Jia Lan nodded. Jia Lan has just entered the officialdom, and his qualifications are still relatively inexperienced.There is no way to do anything in the household department, and it is impossible to find support and visit through normal channels.

"It's not easy to check, but I have to check it. I'll figure out a way." Jia Lan thought for a while, and could only ask General Du tomorrow.

"No, we can't ask General Du. Let's go to the person who most wants to find out about this matter." Jia Zhuo knew who Jia Lan planned to ask, but someone would impeach him if General Du didn't intervene in this matter. If you intervene again, if King Zhongyong finds a gap and opens it, then everyone will be finished.

"You mean..." Jia Lan and Wang Gou'er both looked at her.

"Yes, just go to Huo Shangshu. I will go by myself. Don't follow any of you." Jia Zhuo looked at Jia Lan deliberately. Jia Lan is his subordinate. As soon as this incident broke out, Huo Shangshu used the excuse of self-reflection send home.It was obvious that Jia Lan was asked to avoid it out of love, but instead of avoiding it, Jia Lan ran up and down. If he wanted to find him at this time, he would probably just beat him up and throw him out.

"He is a very stubborn and ruthless old man." Jia Lan didn't hold out any hope.

"You have to give it a try." Jia Zhuo smiled wryly.

When Jia Zhuo came home, she saw that her doorman had an unnatural expression, but she was in a bad mood, so she didn't think much about it.

As soon as she entered the second door, she saw Fu'er winking at her. Before she could speak, Ping'er had already called her into the room, "Sister Qiao, come to my room."

"Don't worry, everything has been taken care of by the guards, and my father didn't suffer much." This is true, no matter what, Jia's family is also the queen's natal family, so we still have to give him some favor.

"That's not what I asked." Ping'er asked Mama Zhang to take An Ge away, then told Fu'er to go down, and closed the door herself.

"What's wrong?" Jia Zhuo noticed that Ping'er's expression was wrong.

"Someone came here today." Ping'er took a deep breath, and then let it out. Once he opened his mouth, he had no scruples.

"Who is it?" To provoke Ping'er's expression like this, he must not be an ordinary person.

"Jia Rong."

Sure enough, but what is he here for?Did he already know that they knew that he framed Jia Lian?

Come to demonstrate, or do you have other plans?

"He begged for King Zhongyong to marry you as his concubine."

With a "bang", the teacup in Jia Zhuo's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

My heart is even colder.

Jia Rong, good, that's great, as expected, if you don't make a move, you won't leave a way out.

It's nothing to be married, he must be threatening Jia Lian's life, the Wang family is so sensible, they will definitely withdraw the marriage.

Jia Lian's reputation was also bad after he survived, and his daughter married King Zhongyong again. Jia Rong easily took over Jia's family and tied him to King Zhongyong's chariot.

It's not that the Jia family is so powerful that it's worth fighting for like King Zhongyong, but that there are very few people that the empress can use.She can only continue to expand and attract talents through the Jia family and wait until the seventh prince grows up to take over. If the Jia family falls to King Zhongyong, all her hands and feet outside will be broken.

When the Seventh Prince is an adult and able to play outside, there is no one who can use him, and King Zhongyong has already full-fledged, so what will he use to fight King Zhongyong.
