Old things in the Red Chamber

The grievances and grievances of the previous generation brought about by the struggle for the throne came to an end last night, and the grievances of this generation have reached the point where they cannot be concealed.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, the big guys went to pay New Year's greetings. The princes in the palace were all noble people, and the eunuchs and maids naturally followed countless.These people have never had a sense of existence, and even the princes don't take them seriously.Originally, a group of people were walking slowly, but at this time, because several older princes were making a fuss, the group suddenly stagnated.As a result, if you look at it from a distance, you can find a large group of people blocking the road.

Several young princes felt that the incident happened too suddenly, and the timid ones were already crying.

But the young princes behaved differently.

The fifteenth prince took a step forward, "We are juniors, shouldn't we entertain our relatives in colorful clothes? What does Brother Ten mean by saying this?"

The ninth prince glanced at the fifteenth prince.There was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, who wouldn't know about forming cliques?It's just that at this time, I can't wait to form a clique, what does the emperor think in his heart, have you ever thought about it?

What the emperor thinks is a matter for the future.But now he is in a very good mood, very good.The sun was rising and the sun was shining on the roof.The snowflakes on the roof became extremely beautiful, seeming to be shining with golden light.The emperor stood at the gate of the Golden Luan Hall, looking down at the ministers standing on every step.Looking up, the red sun is rising and the sky is clear.The Golden Luan Hall is the tallest building in the capital, overlooking the entire capital and the mountains outside the capital, the whole country is full of vitality, which made him exhale the last breath of stale breath in his chest.

This is the time when he is most satisfied, even more excited than when he ascended the throne and became emperor.

"Dear dears, someone who is well-informed must have known what happened yesterday. Yes, there was a rebellion yesterday, and the culprits will naturally be exterminated. However, the accomplices are still willing to give them a chance. I have to ask them carefully. , Eat the king's salary to relieve the king's worries, take the salary given by the court, and enjoy the honor bestowed on them by the court, and why are they so mad and rebellious. Bring people up."

The guards sent out messages layer by layer, and the "bring the prisoner" one after another echoed in the open space in front of the hall.The guards escorting the prisoners set up the prisoners and dragged them to the Golden Throne Hall.

To everyone's surprise, the first person to come in was none other than Jia Zheng from the Rongguo Mansion.

The so-called persimmons are picked softly, and at this time the emperor is also taking the best person to deal with.He did not find any evidence of the rebellion of the four kings with different surnames. Although they were charged with conspiracy to usurp the throne, the four kings with different surnames had many followers and even spread all over the court. The few people are planning to pull them out at this time. Only by cutting the mess quickly and taking advantage of the opportunity of suppressing the rebellion to deal with them quickly can we eradicate the serious problem of the king with a different surname.

The emperor looked at Jia Gu who was standing aside, and Jia Gu nodded to him.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice stood up and asked, "Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Jia Zheng was still calm at this time, "Sinful Minister Jia Zheng".

Jia Gu closed his eyes. He hadn't had a good rest for a day and two nights. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh that he was really old. In the past, he would not feel tired when he rode on horseback for several days and nights. However, he was running around in the city these days. , I felt pain all over my body.

Sure enough, it has reached an unbearable age.

He closed his eyes and rested his mind, but the court suddenly exploded. Jia Zheng involved four kings with different surnames in the main hall.

Up to now, no one cares about how Jia Zheng treats him.Most of the people in the court stood by and watched, but there were also quite a few people who were urging the emperor to be aware of the details, and the holy candle was shining brightly.

The emperor waved his hand, and the guards dragged Jia Zheng back to the prison.

The prison is overcrowded, and after nearly a hundred years of reproduction in the Rongguo Mansion, there are quite a few descendants.At this time, all relatives who were within the fifth service were all escorted to the prison. When Jia Zheng was brought back, many people yelled at him.Many people were crying and shouting.

Jia Zheng sat blankly in the prison, thinking about what Jia Gu had just said to him.

"You should have thought about this kind of thing in advance. If this kind of thing fails, the whole family will die. Now that the prosperity and wealth have passed away, the only ones you are worried about are the old lady and your son and grandson. You don't have to worry about the wife, after all, there is still the elder brother watching her. He is the most foolish and filial person, and he will send the old lady off in a dignified manner in the end, and maybe he will collect the bones of your family when the time comes. It's you Your son Baoyu and your grandson Jialan..."

"Can you save their lives?"

"As long as you bring a few more people with you when you confess your crimes in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, I will be able to save the lives of the two of them. From now on, I will hide my name. Although the glory and wealth are gone, at least I still have a life. When you take someone When some people are involved, they may find your children and grandchildren to vent their hatred, and I will protect them from death."

When Jia Zheng recalled this, he shook hands and strengthened his mentality when he spoke just now.

"That's right, the four princes and eight males are one. This is definitely not something I am willing to do. I was also coerced by others."

On the other side separated by a wall, all the female family members of the Jia family were locked up here.Mrs. Wang sat cross-legged on the straw.The eldest daughter-in-law was locked up with her, and the servants in the family didn't even have a prison, they were all tied up in the yard.The eldest daughter-in-law Li Wan sat blankly in the corner of the prison, lifeless.

Mrs. Wang glanced at her, suppressing the hunger in her stomach.I couldn't help praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless Xue Baochai to escape.

I kept praying all morning, but Xue Baochai was not brought in, but Xue Baochai's mother, Mrs. Xue, and daughter-in-law Xia Jingui were kicked in.

Everyone who lived near them knew Xia Jingui's temper.As soon as she entered the prison, she began to yell at the ancestors of the Jia family. At the beginning, she thought that her family was also involved. Who knew that after a while, a woman came over and asked Mrs. Xue to confess that Xue Pan was the one who committed the crime. Where are you now?

"Say it again, you said that bastard Xue Pan killed someone?" Xia Jingui looked at Mrs. Xue in disbelief. "Wow, you guys cheated on the marriage. Master Qingtian wants to make decisions for the women. The women were tricked into coming in."

Mrs. Xue was on the sidelines, weeping. There is a saying that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and fly separately when disaster strikes.Now the daughter-in-law who married into the door is not only unvirtuous, but also makes things worse, suing her family for cheating on the marriage!

"Damn!" Mrs. Xue's 20-year-old arrogance finally couldn't stand it anymore, "I want to sue your family for cheating on the marriage, and I clearly said that a beautiful and intelligent young lady came to our house and didn't respect her in-laws. The mother-in-law is beating and scolding endlessly, don't you want to escape from our Xue family and live? Pooh, Lord Qingtian, I want to sue this shrew for killing a concubine of our family. She was poisoned. "

As soon as Xia Jingui heard this, he immediately jumped up and beat Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Xue was already old, and she was not Xia Jingui's opponent at all.Just two or three times, Xia Jingui scratched his face and tore his clothes.If shrews like this fight, there will be people watching outside the building, but no one here looks at them.The women in the prison who were in charge of the female prisoners had to separate the two of them.

Although Xia Jingui is aggressive, but in terms of scheming, she is [-]% higher than Mrs. Xue.After she was pulled into another prison.As soon as he frowned, he secretly blamed himself for not being able to suppress his temper just now, which caused a major accident.

To say that Xue's family still has several relatives, let alone her mother-in-law's family is considered a noble family.Although men can't support the wall, the girls who get married all have a good husband's family.

Especially Wang Xifeng, their family was not involved in this matter at this time, and Wang Xifeng was able to enter the palace to visit the prince and princess in the palace...

But at this time, it was impossible for Xia Jingui to put down her face and go to her mother-in-law's side to be a child.And at this time, no one can help her, she is in a hurry in the prison.Especially the old godly woman yelled just now, saying that she had poisoned that lowly girl Xiangling to death. The most important thing now is to find a way to wipe this matter away.

Just like what Xia Jingui thought, the Xue family still has a few good relatives, and the rebellion did not implicate the Xue family at all, and the result of handling this matter at that time will only be the murder of Xue Pan, which is not too much Point to the place, and the parents, wives and children cannot be involved.

Both my aunts and wives are in prison, and Wang Ziteng's wife doesn't want to care about it.She now relies entirely on the two girls to take care of her life, and the two sons-in-law have a good temper, otherwise, who would let the mother-in-law eat and drink at home every day.So after knowing this, Wang Ziteng's wife was ill at that time.She was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, so her two daughters were of course waiting on her bedside day and night.Only Wang Xifeng couldn't push it away, so people sent clothes and money to the prison several times.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were sitting in the small yard of their house, both of them looked scared.

"I never imagined that the second master would have the courage to participate in the rebellion. The poor old lady has enjoyed a lifetime of good fortune at such an old age, but she has fallen into such a fate when she is old." Anyway, Shi Taijun treats Wang Xifeng as well. Very good, early this morning, Wang Xifeng went to bring the old lady back under the order of her father-in-law.But in the end it came back without success.

Shi Taijun was unwilling to go with Wang Xifeng, and he didn't want his last face. He took three maids and walked all the way to the door of Hou's mansion.

Along the way, many people whispered behind their backs, their gazes fixed on the four masters and servants like needles.Not to mention being a prince, even the maids of Rongguo Mansion have never been treated like this. The maids raised in the mansion earlier were more honorable than the young ladies of other families, let alone take a look. , I just didn't have the chance to listen to them.

An old lady with white hair and three weeping maidservants.After his family was ruined, he couldn't even stand up.This will undoubtedly win the sympathy of many people.Many people followed them all the way.The guards of Hou Mansion also saw them from a distance.

Madam Tong in the backyard gritted her teeth when she heard about it, "Is she the only son of our Lord Hou who is alive?"
