[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

The censor of Jiangnan Road reported that Wang Ziteng, the inspector of the two provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, formed a party to disrupt the government and use power to seek personal affairs.

It took less than two or three days for the case of Wang Ziteng to be locked up by Emperor Chengsheng. Even though Wang Ziteng heard some rumors in advance, wrote letters and went around, and hoped that the Rongguo Mansion and other good families could save him. Helping him, but the procuratorate has been planning for a long time for this matter, and Emperor Chengsheng secretly supported him and directly issued an order to lock him up. Even though many people in the court wanted to speak for the prince, it was of no avail.

Emperor Chengsheng issued the decree directly, and if everyone said more, it would be disrespectful to resist the decree. At this juncture, no one dared to touch this bad luck.

Furthermore, this case not only involves Wang Ziteng alone, but the entire Wang family.Even the unofficial son Wang Ren left behind by Wang Ziteng's elder brother who died early was under investigation, and the married housekeeper grandma of Rongguo Mansion was also involved. They knew very well that Emperor Chengsheng was going to attack the entire royal family.

However, the Wang family did not have the merits of founding the country like the four kings and eight princes, but it was a family that was attached to the Rongguo Mansion. Emperor Chengsheng wanted to do it.

At the beginning, Jia Lian only knew that he had to handle the case, and he also knew that Lin Jian's entry into the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be the censor of the capital was to do something important.The last time the Rongguo Mansion held a crab banquet, what Lin Jian said to him in private made him mentally prepared enough to face the next change.

Jia Lian even thought about how he should respond if he was really held accountable by Emperor Chengsheng or if something happened to the mansion.But what Jia Lian never expected was that no one in the house had an accident, but the Wang family and his first wife had an accident.

Rao Jia Lian had made sufficient psychological preparations, and the moment he saw the dossier, he was greatly shocked and shocked.

He didn't expect it to be the Wang family's incident, but after thinking about it, when Lin Jian went to Yangzhou, Wang Ziteng hired murderers to kill people. Lin Jian seemed to know all about it. Zhang Wang was set up by Lin Jian's hand against the Wang family.

"Jia Dushi, although this is a case involving the Wang family, you should avoid suspicion if your wife is involved. But you have just joined the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so I am very optimistic about you and hope you can handle this case well. I will do my best Assure Du Yushi that you will never bend the law for personal gain, and will not let your personal feelings interfere with your judgment. Don't let me down."

After the Metropolitan Procuratorate filed the case, Lin Jian showed Jia Lian the files of the Wang family.Jia Lian is in charge of the experience department, so he can actually avoid trial.But Lin Jian wanted to use him. After the case was filed, he specially referred Jia Lian to him as a principal, assisting in the trial of the case and doing some clerk work.

Lin Jian had a panoramic view of Jia Lian's expression after seeing the dossier, and he reminded Jia Lian again to maintain his chosen position.

It was only at this time that Jia Lian understood Lin Jian's meaningful words at the crab feast that night. It turned out that those words were meant to remind him and should be here.

Jia Lian looked down at the file.

He knew that Wang Xifeng was vicious, he knew that Wang Xifeng loved to show off his talents, he knew that Wang Xifeng was bitter and jealous. He had been married to Wang Xifeng for several years, thinking that he knew everything about Wang Xifeng. He even knew that Wang Xifeng had lost a few lives. , but these things are really nothing compared to what is recorded in the file.

Jia Lian couldn't help smiling wryly, they shared the same bed for several years, he didn't know that Wang Xifeng did so many things outside behind his back.

Giving money to usury, instigating people to manipulate the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even writing letters to some officials in the name of Wang Ziteng to ask for favors and rewards... She is a female family member who is in charge of the house, she really should do what she should not do, she All done!

Looking at the charges one after another, all the dissatisfaction and resentment accumulated in Jia Lian's heart towards Wang Xifeng burst out, and the light in his eyes changed several times, and finally turned into a cold silence.

"My lord, please rest assured. I know what to do, and I will not let you down."

Lin Jian watched Jia Lian's stern brow, and knew that Jia Lian had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, just reached out and patted Jia Lian's shoulder, and said softly, "Then I'll see how you behave in the future."

Wang Ziteng, Wang Ren and others were all on their way back to Duzhong. The rest of the Wang family involved in the case were arrested by their own officials. Seeing Jia Lian lowering his eyes and continuing to sort out the files, Lin Jian waved his hand to invite Qian Ying.

Lin Jian said coldly: "Wang Xifeng is involved in the case, you can take someone to Yanlai Tower and bring him to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation."

When Lin Jian said this, he didn't avoid Jia Lian. Jia Lian paused when he was sorting out the file, and the tip of the pen that was just dipped in ink left a large ink stain on the snow-white rice paper. But Jia Lian didn't say anything, and changed it silently. I took one, and continued to immerse myself in sorting out and transcribing the dossier.

Today is the day when Wang Xifeng went to see Mrs. Qiao to talk about Xiang.Mrs. Qiao didn't want Wang Xifeng to come to Lin's West Garden, so she made an appointment to talk and listen to a play in Yanlai Tower.Why did he get the file today, and why Wang Xifeng was to be detained for interrogation at the Ministry of Criminal Justice today? Jia Lian never thought it was a coincidence, but what could he do?He couldn't comment on what Lin Jian had arranged, he could only do his own thing well.

In fact, it is not like Jia Lian has tried to persuade Jia She at home these days, but Jia She is quite dismissive of him. Persuasion was useless, but it was Jia Zheng who said that he had changed a lot from the past and felt that what he said made sense.

But this Rongguo mansion is not headed by Jia Zheng, it is useless for Jia Zheng to introspect alone, besides, Jia Zheng can't control the people in the mansion at all, even if Jia Lian and even the building are about to collapse, he is helpless.

Lin Jian took Jia Lian's reaction into consideration, and said calmly, "I said long ago that it's not up to others to make decisions about my marriage."

One autumn rain and one cool.Lin Jian was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate during the day to deal with official business and never went out. He only saw a rain falling outside through the window pane. It was only when it was dark that he was about to return home that he realized that after the autumn rain, the cool air had unexpectedly It's starting to smell like early winter.

Lin Jian agreed to Mrs. Qiao's return home for dinner.When he returned to the West Garden, Mrs. Qiao and Lin Hong had been waiting for him for nearly a quarter of an hour.

When Qiao saw Lin Jian and Qian Ying coming back busy, she felt sorry for Lin Jian after a busy day, so she sent him to take a shower and wash up first: "The meal needs to be warmed up before it can be used. You and Qian Ying go wash up first. Come back Let's eat together again."

On the contrary, Qian Ying was really not used to eating with Qiao Shi and Lin Hong, so after washing up, she went to the guard's place to settle the meal, and only Lin Jian went to the dining hall to eat with Qiao Shi and Lin Hong.

Lin Jian was very hungry, and she buried her head in eating for a while before looking at Mrs. Qiao: "Today, Qian Ying took the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to Yanlai Tower to pick up people. Mother is not scared, is she?"

Qiao's funny: "Who is mother? I followed your father through the sea of ​​swords and swords, how could he be frightened by these many battles?"

"What's more, you have greeted me in advance, I know what's going on, and I knew what was going on as soon as Qian Ying came today, and I didn't take it to heart."

Recalling the scene at that time, Mrs. Qiao felt a little emotional, "It's just that the procuratorate suddenly rushed in to arrest people, which frightened the people who were listening to the show. That Mrs. Wang was unprepared, and she was quite a bit under the shackles." Embarrassed, she refused to give in at first, Qian Ying said a few words to her, she was discouraged, and obediently followed Qian Ying away. I saw that her eyebrows were very depressed, and I knew that this was the matter after thinking about it sent."

Lin Hong's legs hurt in autumn, and the old wounds are aching. Qiao has been massaging his body since he came back from outside. Lin Hong has never bothered to ask her about those things outside. At this time, he heard the mother and son talking about it. , Lin Hong asked Qiao: "Is it true that Mrs. Wang invited you to meet just to thank our family for taking care of Miss Gu Lin?"

Qiao said with a smile: "Of course not. This is just a pretext to meet."

"This Mrs. Wang is also a straightforward person. She doesn't beat around the bush like others do. She smiles and admits that it is the same to thank her, but it is her other way to talk about a marriage for Xiaojian. beg."

Qiao Shi was talking to Lin Hong and his wife, but Lin Jian didn't interrupt. He heard this quietly, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Lin Jian didn't care about the thought of the Jia family wanting to influence his marriage, and wanting to give him the girls in their house, so he never mentioned it to Qiao Shi and Lin Hong.

It was the first time for Lin Hong to hear this. He just put down the chopsticks in his hand with a snap after hearing Mrs. Qiao finish Wang Xifeng's proposal.

"Are they talking about getting married? I think they just want to make use of this marriage to prevent Xiao Jian from doing anything to them!"

Lin Hong stared angrily and said, "Don't say it's a girl from the Rongguo Mansion, even a girl from the County Prince's Mansion, our family can't have it either!"

"I firmly disagree with this marriage!"

Qiao Shi was afraid that Lin Hong's anger would break his body, so he quickly gave him a sigh of relief: "Of course I know this, but I refused at that time, and I didn't agree to this."

"Although our family's background is normal, but now our family has many entanglements, Xiaojian's daughter-in-law can't be chosen casually. Girls from common people's families are good, but they can't be involved with the four kings and eight fathers. What a shame Then again, Xiaojian is now a fourth-rank official, a Marquis of Southern Anhui and a general who leads troops. He has won the trust of the Holy Majesty. If he wants to get married, the girl's family background should not be too different from ours. .”

Lin Hong came over angrily, and just as he was about to nod when he heard the words, he saw Lin Jian unhurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and asked them with a smile: "Father, mother, what kind of wife do you think I should marry?" OK?"
