[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Chapter 60 The Death of Shen Heng

Jia Fu.

"Old lady! I am wronged, old lady! Don't say that the old slave didn't take any dowry from the first wife, just say that our family is the guy. The old lady knows him! Even if you give him a hundred courage, he won't dare to say goodbye. Master Lian, do it! Old lady!"

Grandma Lai was crying.But even if she desperately scrambled to the ground, she was forcibly dragged away by the people from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

In the courtyard of Rongqing Hall.

Jia Mu almost couldn't get up and turn away.Wang Xifeng hugged Jia Lian's bloody head, howling so loudly.

"Second master! Second master, if you have something to do, what do you ask me to do! What do you ask the child to do! You damn slave! Old lady, you have to be the master of the second master!"

Mother Jia's hands were shaking!Lai Da and Nanny Lai are just slaves, if she speaks for the slaves now, where will she put her grandson?

Wang Xifeng cried even harder!Suddenly, she held her stomach and her face turned pale, "It hurts! It hurts! My child! Call the doctor quickly! Go ask the imperial physician!"

"Second Grandma! Second Grandma! Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"

Jiamu's heart stagnates, yes!Now she can't even faint!

Everyone rushed to carry Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng back to the house, and they left.Jia Lian turned over from the bed, put her arms around Wang Xifeng and asked nervously, "How is it?"

Wang Xifeng slapped his hand away, "You still don't know? Just pretend! What could happen!"

Jia Lian's heart dropped, "That's good! Thank you for your hard work!"

"The old lady is getting old, but she always faints when something happens. If I don't pretend to be stronger, she will faint again. Then she will say a few words casually to the old lady in Befu, and if it spreads, it will be a big problem." She became the second master's confidant servant who killed her, and made her faint."

Jia Lian chuckled.

Wang Xifeng glared at him, "Second master is too, it's just a show, why did he really hurt himself!"

Jia Lian blinked, "Chicken blood, chicken blood!"

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then he took Jia Lian's head and pulled off the bandage around his head to see that there was no wound at all.

"The second master is not afraid that they will find out?"

"What did you find? Lai Da suggested that I was witnessed by many officials. On such occasions, does Lai Da still have the courage to come up to see if I really hurt the horse? The governor and the imperial doctor both said hello in advance! They If you don’t care if it’s true or not, you won’t come to see it, so who will question it?”

Wang Xifeng smiled.

Jia Lian's complexion gradually turned cold.A servant can buy two courtyards, invite a dozen or so servants to serve him, and live a comfortable life!But he has to take great pains for the money owed by the Rongguo Mansion!

make a fist!Such a big tiger, how can we not fight it!

********

Yipin Tea House.

"Master Fu Yin sent the chief bookkeeper to sort out the financial affairs of the Lai family. After the overall planning, it was discovered that, not to mention all kinds of furniture and jewelry, there are hundreds of thousands of cash and silver! After further investigation, this Lai Da actually went to the Rongguo Mansion. The identity of the chief executive, pretending to be a tiger, under the banner of the Rongguo Mansion, oppressed the people outside and took away by force!

Mr. Fu Yin was furious, and said bluntly: "This kind of slave, it's strange that Second Master Jia is going to deal with it!"But he didn't expect that he even dared to attack his master!Wolf-hearted dog lung, should be cut! "

"it is good!"

In the teahouse, the audience yelled: "Good cut!"

wing.

Lin Yan asked: "This case is almost done now. The Lai family's wealth, the governor's side will send it to Jia's house if they want to settle the case. What are your plans?"

"Of course it is sent to the household department. In this way, our family's money can be paid back almost."

Lai's odds and ends add up to about 30 taels.But enough is okay for a big part.

but……

Lin Yan frowned, "You know, that's not what I asked!"

Jia Lian's complexion darkened, "Wait! Now all we have to do is wait! The Lai family's wealth is real. The Lai family oppressed the poor in the name of our family, bought and sold by force, and even plundered. Yes. Not to mention, he once murdered me. Neither one can be blamed. The old lady can't save her.

I greeted the prisoner and asked Wang Er to give hints.In such a situation, the Lai family will not fail to understand what I mean.Just to see if they know, and how much they know! "

Lin Yan nodded.Starting from Lai's family was not just to get rid of Jia Mu's powerful arm.Nanny Lai has been with Jia's mother for so many years, Lai Da is a retainer, and his father fought with Jia Daishan. If anyone knows anything about what happened back then, it must be these two people !

The last time they made a move, Jia's family figured out the matter by sending out Mrs. Wang.How could Jia Lian give up?

Even if he guessed a little bit from Jiamu's methods, he still needs to check clearly and know clearly.

Wang'er trotted over from nowhere, and lowered her voice as soon as she entered the room, "Second Master, Uncle Lin! There's news from the cell that Mrs. Lai and his wife want to see Second Master!"

Jia Lian's face was shocked, Lin Yan stopped him and said, "Don't worry! You can't be in the prison! There are so many people there, even if the yamen servants are screened out, it's hard to guarantee that the partition wall has no ears!"

Lin Yan recruited Qiu Ming to come in, "Go to Shen's mansion and tell the old man about it! Wang'er goes back to the mansion, if anyone asks, just say, Second Master Lian and I have something to do outside, so go back later."

After sending the two young men away, Lin Yan held Jia Lian down for another half an hour to drink, and then Qiu Ming came back and said, "The old man said that he hasn't seen you and Second Master Lian for several days."

Lin Yan stood up with a smile, "Cousin, let's go! It's really time for us to visit the old man!"

********

Shen family.Chamber of Secrets.

"At that time, the servant was not the chief executive of the mansion. The chief executive was the servant's father. The servant only remembered that a distinguished guest came to the house that night. The Duke was not feeling well at all, so he fell asleep before dark. Hearing that this person came, he hurriedly approved clothes to meet him. The two of them stayed in the study for a long time."

"I don't know what happened, I just watched my father send the man out through the back door, my expression was very flustered, and I overheard this sentence: Don't worry, Your Highness, the Duke said, no matter what she heard , what you see, you will never reveal a word."

"The slave happened to be behind the tree at that time, and the nobleman didn't notice the slave. But the slave's father saw it when he turned his head, and shouted loudly at the slave, telling the slave to go back quickly. But nothing happened tonight! After the slave returned, he heard that the eldest lady It's about to give birth! Later...later..."

Lai Da looked at Nanny Lai, then poked her.

Nanny Lai gritted her teeth, "The servant happened to be serving the old lady that night. The old lady was suddenly called away by the Duke of the country. People make food. They said that the eldest wife is about to give birth, and she needs to eat something to gain strength."

"The eldest wife gave birth prematurely. Before the stable woman came, the old lady stayed in the room to talk with the eldest lady. The slaves stayed in the yard. The old lady said that the eldest wife's delivery is a big event, as long as she is here, no one is allowed in the house. There are many people, a dense group, there is no need to worry the eldest wife."

"Later, the steady lady came, and the old lady let the girl in to help. But she kept guarding and did not come out. After the second master fell to the ground, the eldest lady burst into blood! The servant went back and listened to what the servant and the man said. Personally, I just think that night was unusual. But the slaves dare not say it!"

Lai Da took a step on his knees and kowtowed his head, "Second Master, Mrs. Shen, after the Duke died, as soon as he left, the servant's father also smashed into a pillar to die for the Lord, servant...how dare the servant think too much. So Years have passed, and the servant has almost forgotten about it! Second master, this servant and the servant's wife only know this, I've said it all, and I really don't know anything else!"

Of course I don't know, if I knew, with Jia Daishan's actions, how could I live till now?But that's enough to know!

Not long after Shen Heng's death, Prince Yizhong conspired against the palace, the timing was so coincidental.In addition to the words "noble person" and "what you hear and see", how can you still not understand.

Presumably, the nobleman that night was Prince Yizhong in disguise, and what conspired with Jia Daishan was precisely to force the palace.Unexpectedly, it was accidentally smashed by Shen Heng.

Although Shen Heng married into Jia's family, in those two years he was not very happy because of Jia She's playfulness.But she is still Shen's daughter.The Shen family belongs to His Majesty, and they are deadly enemies with Prince Yizhong!

When it comes to finalizing the marriage, both families are willing.At that time, Jia Daishan was still a neutral minister.But who knows what happened later, or changed direction and stood up for some reason?

Conspiracy is a serious crime of copying one's family and exterminating one's family!If things come to fruition, the Jia family will follow the dragon.If it fails, it will be a land of eternal doom!The arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired!

The incident is imminent, how can Jia Daishan keep Shen Heng alive, what if she finds a chance and tells the Shen family?

He didn't dare to stay, and Prince Yizhong would not stay!Therefore, it can only be born prematurely, and it can only cause blood collapse!

Jia Lian's body was on the verge of falling, and his complexion was pale!It was one thing to guess before, but it is another thing to hear it with your own ears.

My own grandmother killed my own mother, and it was my own grandfather's order!Heh, heh!

"Cousin!" Lin Yan reached out to support him.Jia Lian turned his head and showed a wry smile.

Shen Yunzhou kicked Lai Da over, "Okay! Sister Heng's death is really wronged!"

Shen Bonian knew his temper, so he hurriedly stopped him, lest he go up and beat the two slaves to death, and called his confidants to come in and bring the two back to the prison, "Get out!"

Why didn't Lai Da want to get lost, he lay on the ground, "Second Lord, what you said before, as long as we tell everything we know, you will intercede with Lord Fuyin and give us a way to survive!"

Jia Lian opened his mouth, trembled for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you!"

Shen Bonian glanced at him, his expression changed.People can't stand without faith, and those who break faith lose their lives.This is what he taught him, and it is rare for him to remember it at this time.

As soon as Lai Da and Nanny Lai left, Jia Lian knelt down without saying a word.But his complexion said it all.

Shen Heng was his mother, but it was the Duke of the Jia family who killed him.And his surname is Jia.He couldn't ignore the serious crime of treason.He couldn't reverse Shen Heng's case at all.

Shen Bonian looked at him, "What are you going to do?"

Jia Lian's lips twitched, not knowing how to speak.

Shen Bonian sighed: "That's all! You all go back."

Jia Lian still looked like that, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.Lin Yan pulled him up, "Cousin, listen to the old man!"

Jia Lian was led away by him like a puppet, and when he reached the door, Shen Bonian said again: "If you don't want the Jia family's treasonous incident to happen, the Lai family and his wife must deal with it easily! Ryukyu Island is remote, and we still have to cross the sea. .It's a good place to go in exile."

Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped.I promised not to kill them, but it didn't mean it was over.

Jia Lian paused, feeling more and more uncomfortable, and followed Lin Yan back to the mansion in a daze.Seeing his appearance, Lin Yan dared not let him see Wang Xifeng.He led him to the study.

"Cousin may need to be alone for a while, so I'll take my leave first!"

Lin Yan turned to leave, but Jia Lian grabbed his wrist, "Cousin Lin!"

Lin Yan's expression flickered slightly, "Cousin, don't worry, my surname is not Jia, but my mother is a daughter of the Jia family. Even if the crime is not as good as a married woman, even if the emperor is kind and does not vent his anger, if the Jia family suffers, the mother will not be much better. go."

He has been in this era for 14 years, and has been affected by this era for 13 years in those days without the memory of modern people. He understands the importance of a family to a woman better than the time traveler who came out halfway.

It is true that Jia Min has already gained a firm foothold in the Lin family.Even if something happened to the Jia family, Lin Ruhai and her children would not despise her, but what about others?

What will they say and how?It's not something he and Lin Ruhai can control!

Jia Lian was taken aback by these words, and his face became even more bitter, "Cousin, you have misunderstood! Since my cousin came to Beijing, he has helped me in everything. If nothing else, he will say Jingzhaofu Yin. Although my cousin never said, But I also know that it is not that simple that I can get the help of Mr. Fu Yin every time.

Although the Jia family is not as good as it was back then, it is still the queen of the state, and the title is still there.The old lady also had many handkerchiefs from old friends.And there is a Prince Teng behind the second wife.Fu Yin is a mere fourth rank, ignoring the Jia family, and even the Wang family, directly taking the second wife's confidants, and even taking the second wife, even the Shen family may not be able to do this kind of courage. "

really.No matter how beautiful the Shen family is, Mr. Fu Yin will weigh the consequences of offending the Jia and Wang families.But Lin Yan is different.He is not only a big celebrity in front of the emperor, but also has the emperor's jade pendant on his body.With this thing in place, if it wasn't for a major event that is really beyond the control of the owner, no matter who will give it face.

"I know what my cousin did for me."

Lin Yan's complexion improved a lot, and he couldn't help but feel apologetic.Looking at it this way, what he said just now felt a little bit like a villain's heart.

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, "Cousin, I...I'm conflicted."

"Cousin is now the head of the family, and the burden of the entire Jia family rests on you. You have to consider the consequences of being exposed. After all, no one can place their hopes on the emperor's kindness for such a big matter.

On the other hand, it was your own mother who died. She died with injustice, she was full of resentment and couldn't sue, and the murderer couldn't do it.Cousin is in a dilemma.

This, I understand.Mrs. Shen also understood.So, none of us blame you.Since the old man reminded Ryukyu Island to let you send the Lai family there, he was still thinking about you and thinking about you. "

Jia Lian's complexion was even more ugly, and his heart was full of sadness.Because of this, I feel even more sorry for the Shen family.After all, as far as the Shen family is concerned, what does the survival of the Jia family have to do with them?Just thinking about him.

Lin Yan sighed, "Cousin, don't think wildly, and manage your emotions well. You can't just go to see the second sister-in-law like this. The second sister-in-law is about to give birth in a month, and you don't want to scare her like this. As for... ..."

Lin Yan paused, and looked at Jia Lian with a serious expression, "Cousin, there is the matter of Princess Zhaoyang, the emperor is not a fool!"

Jia Lian's complexion changed, only to hear Lin Yan say again: "But the emperor is not a tyrannical king, let alone be intolerant. Now standing in the Golden Luan Hall are also two subjects of Prince Yizhong.

But my cousin should know that what happened back then is not important, but what the Jia family has done these years is very important to the Jia family's position in the future.Not every subject of Prince Yizhong can be tolerated and treated leniently by the emperor.Before the emperor has any intention of making a move, my cousin should have made a plan earlier. "

"Thank you cousin!"

Lin Yan shook his head, smiled and left.

Three days later, the case was closed.The Lai family was originally a capital offence, but because Jia Lian came forward, remembering that Lai Da's late father had been born and died with Jia Daishan on the battlefield, and later died as a martyr, he begged to spare the Lai family's death.Mr. Fu Yin agreed, and made the final judgment, and the whole family was exiled to Ryukyu Island.

For a while in Beijing, everyone was talking about Jingzhao Mansion's Lord Yin Shengming, Jia Lian's generosity and so on.

April [-]th is the Grain Grain Festival.It is also Jia Baoyu's seventh birthday.

Although the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the father is alive, the mother's filial piety can last for one year.It is only a few months since Wang's death.No matter how Wang died, Jia Baoyu was his son, and banquets were not allowed.Besides, Mother Jia just lost Lai Dalai and Nanny Lai's family, and she is not in a good mood.

This birthday has passed so desertedly.

April 23.The Zhen family was escorted to Beijing.At the same time, Prince Cheng sits in the Criminal Department and participates in the trial.

On the sixth day of May, just after Duanyang, the trial results were sent to the imperial court.Zhen Yingjia and his brothers were all beheaded. Those who reached the age of 15 were exiled, and those who were under the age of 15 were sold together with the female relatives. If relatives and friends help, they can also be redeemed.

The ninth day of May.The emperor granted Situ Ling the title of Prince Kang, Situ Feng the title of Prince An, and Situ Yue the title of Prince Ning.

However, Situ Yue was very unhappy, and said bitterly: "Sell the Zhen family in exchange for the position of prince, hum!"

Lin Yan glanced at him, "This is a good thing!"

Situ Yue snorted coldly, "A good thing? Is this a good thing?"

"Both you and the third master have been promoted to princes, isn't it a good thing?"

"Third brother has contributed to collecting the money owed by the Ministry of Households, that's what he should be!"

Lin Yan looked at him with a smile, "What about you?"

Situ Yue twitched his lips, "The co-author running around for your glass factory doesn't count as credit, does it?"

Lin Yan laughed, seeing Situ Yue's complexion was very ugly, so he stopped and persuaded: "The elders and children are orderly, he is five, you are nine. If he is not sealed, how can you be sealed? You are angry here Not fair, let's ask the third master what he thinks!"

Situ Lingben was sitting on the side watching them joke and join in the fun, when it was mentioned suddenly, he looked up and saw Situ Yue's fiery eyes, shook his head and sighed: "Father knows that the elder brother and the fifth younger brother are at odds, if there is no grudge in his heart, he will not let the elder brother go to the Lord." What's more, Lao Jiu, didn't you realize that although you are a prince, your titles and mine have not changed. He has changed one!"

Lin Yan pursed her lips, "An, it can be safe, it can also be safe, easy. This word is so different from Min Ke!"

Situ Yue was taken aback for a moment, "You mean father, he... But the elder brother didn't fish out anything harmful to him from the Zhen family's mouth. He tried to frame the elder brother last time, and was known by the elder brother, how could the elder brother give up. This time the elder brother can I had to toss the Zhen family with all my strength, just trying to figure out something.

But it seems that this matter really has nothing to do with him.The eldest brother was so angry that he lost his temper several times in the Ministry of Criminal Justice!If he really intervened, would his father still make him a prince? "

This question made both Lin Yan and Situ Ling frown.

After a long while, Situ Ling said: "The assassination of Mr. Lin has nothing to do with Xu and the fifth younger brother. Maybe the Zhen family really didn't say anything. After all, the Zhen family also has scruples, and this is not a serious crime to punish the nine clans. There still needs to be a way to go. But the fifth brother..."

Lin Yan continued: "The emperor doesn't want to see the fifth prince mingling with the Zhen family, but he may not be willing to see the fifth prince being so cruel. I heard that among the criminal evidence of the Zhen family, in addition to my father's report, there are also those of the fifth prince. .

If it's just for hiding silver and assassinating court officials, that's all.However, the fifth prince later sent a piece of evidence that the Zhen family was rich in private pockets.Praise it if it is useful, discard it if it is useless, and step on it hard to make yourself a stepping stone to achieve your goal.

Although there is inevitably a conspiracy in the battle for the heir apparent.But there must be a bottom line.What do the dependent ministers think of the fifth prince's deeds?What does the emperor think?How could the courtiers rest assured to follow such a person, and how could the emperor believe that the fifth prince would treat the rest of the brothers kindly. "

There are some things that Lin Yan can't say too bluntly, but he knows that Situ Ling will understand.

The emperor has selfish intentions.It's not that he doesn't know how to let a few princes fight, and when it gets to that level, naturally it's either you die or I die.But people are good at deceiving themselves.Especially the emperor, always feel that he is different from the first emperor or the previous emperor.He would have another kind of expectation, he wouldn't really want to see his sons die at the hands of their own brothers one by one.

Lin Yan sighed, "However, Your Highness should not underestimate the enemy. Although the emperor was disappointed, he never gave up on him. Making him a prince is a warning, and it is to maintain the situation of the three parties. It may be that he wants to wait and see."

Situ Ling nodded, "I know."

Lin Yan felt that with Situ Ling's intelligence, he was too talkative.Turning to other things, "I'm a little curious. This plan is different from Ye He's previous plan. Either it wasn't from him, or..."

The corners of Lin Yan's mouth curled up, interesting!

Ye He is shrewd, intelligent, and resourceful, as can be seen from some previous handwriting.Therefore, Lin Yan didn't think he would not know the disadvantages of letting the fifth prince do this.If it is really him, then there must be something hidden in it.

Situ Yue looked around and saw that they were almost done talking about business, so he smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Lin is all right?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yan showed joy on his face, "Yes! Father has been raising him for a month. The letter sent a few days ago said that it is already healed."

"That's good!" Situ Yue was genuinely happy for him, "Master Lin, when will he leave for Beijing? Liu Guangqing has almost handed over the Jiangnan matter, right?"

Asked this, Lin Yan's expression suddenly became complicated, "Father said in a letter that he has started this matter, and it has been a few days now, I am afraid he is on the way."

Situ Yue looked at his expression and asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, haven't you been looking forward to seeing Master Lin? Are you so happy?"

Happy is happy!Who wouldn't be happy to have a family reunion!

However, this also means that his good days are over!

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, Lin Ruhai returns to Beijing!After thinking for a long time today, I have already figured out how to write.

Take a guess, whether Lin Yan will kneel in the ancestral hall, or suffer from a board.Can you keep your ass?

Lin Yan was furious: what is there to guess!What a guess!What a guess!
