[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Xue Pan was originally a lawless and impulsive person. Even if he didn't kill Feng Yuan, he could kill others as long as there was an opportunity.

And this opportunity is a woman...

"I heard that it happened in Yihong Building. At that time, Uncle Xue had a dispute with others because of competing for a dancer. Uncle Xue was drunk, picked up a vase and smashed the person to death in a rage." Since Sister Feng was reborn After that, Qing'er was no longer reused, let alone another Xiangling came now.After finally getting to Sister Feng, Qing'er naturally wanted to curry favor with Sister Feng and attract Sister Feng's attention.So she spared no effort to say everything she found out.

"I heard that Yihonglou is the most famous Qinlou and Chu Pavilion in the capital. It is one of the best selling treasuries. The young masters who go there are either rich or expensive. Uncle Xue caused a catastrophe by smashing it. It will soon be known to everyone. Now people have arrived at the yamen of Shuntian Mansion. The family who was beaten to death cried and wanted to make Uncle Xue pay for his life. But Uncle Xue seemed to have no regrets. Before being taken away, he asked the servant to bring the letter to Rongguo Mansion , Presumably Second Aunt Grandma will come to our house soon. But if I want to say, this is at the foot of the emperor after all, how can it be so easy to be kind, I am afraid that Second Aunt Grandma will embarrass Madam."

As Qing'er spoke, she raised her eyes to observe Sister Feng's reaction.

Sister Feng didn't say a word, nor did she show a panicked expression, she still looked indifferent, as if she didn't care about Xue Pan's life or death.

If it was before, Sister Feng would definitely go to Mrs. Jiang to discuss the matter immediately, and then propose to use Wang Ziteng's authority to help Xue Pan get rid of the crime.But now, Sister Feng doesn't want to take advantage of the Wang family's reputation to run for the Xue family.In her previous life, she helped the Xue family, but how did Aunt Xue's mother and daughter repay her?

She holds grudges very much, so let Xue Pan fend for himself.

"As the so-called murder pays for debts, there is nothing wrong with asking my cousin to pay for his life. Kuang Dajing's law is there. Does it mean that our royal family wants to know the law and break the law?"

Qing'er was stunned, "However, Uncle Xue is the master's nephew, so the master won't sit idly by?"

Sister Feng said indifferently: "That's uncle's business, everything depends on uncle's decision, it's not good for me as a junior to interfere in this matter."

Qing'er saw that Sister Feng really didn't want to participate in this matter, so she had no choice but to back down with an embarrassing face.

Sister Feng got up and helped the jade hairpin on her hair, "I just heard that Qing'er said that this matter has been passed on, and everyone knows about it?"

"It seems to say so."

Sister Feng smiled and looked at the tender winter jasmine flowers outside the window, "Human life is at stake, and you are a relative living in Rongguo Mansion, so you must be impeached by the imperial censor?"

Ping'er was puzzled, "This...won't it? Isn't there Shuntian Fu Yin here, this kind of thing is worth the trouble of the emperor?"

Sister Feng didn't explain, and walked to the desk, "Master Gu said, I can ask him for help if I need anything. I'll write a letter right now, you go to Gu's house, and secretly give this letter to him."

After a while, Sister Feng put down the brush, blew on the letter gently, and when the handwriting was dry, folded it and put it in the envelope.She handed it to Ping'er together with a jade pendant, "Go."

Back in Jinling, when he left Xu's house, Gu Xingchi had seen her jade pendant, as long as he asked the concierge to show it to Gu Xingchi, Gu Xingchi would believe that the letter was written by her.

Not long ago, Jia Yucun was transferred from Jinling to the capital, where he took the post of Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.Jia Yucun was originally sponsored by Jia Zheng. Presumably the Rongguo Mansion will ask Jia Yucun to mediate and clear Xue Pan of the murder charge. It is best to pay a little money to release Xue Pan intact.But Jia Yucun managed to achieve his current position, maybe one day he will get His Majesty's favor and go to a higher level. At this time, let him take the risk to help Xue Pan get rid of the crime, is it possible?

Furthermore, the one who was beaten to death by Xue Pan was the only son of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Justice. Although the Zhao family was not a wealthy family, they were not a small family. Even if he wanted to protect Xue Pan, the Zhao family would not follow him.

Thinking about it, Aunt Xue's wish was about to come true.

Although it is spring, the weather is still cooler in the morning.Especially those ministers, who went to court before dawn, and when they arrived at the Qianqing Gate, the night dew on their sleeves had melted into water stains, which seemed to be damp.

Morning morning begins soon.

Only a eunuch said loudly: "Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do—"

Emperor Tianshun cheered up and scanned the ministers with heavy eyes.

At this time, Wu Yushi took a step forward and said, "I have this performance."

Emperor Tianshun listened to the impeachment of the imperial censor every day, although he didn't want to hear it, he still had a serious face and said: "Oh, I wonder if Wu Qing's family has anything to say?"

"I want to impeach Xue Pan, the eldest son of Xue, for bullying and killing people."

Emperor Tianshun frowned, "Didn't the Qing family already impeached this matter yesterday? Not only did the Xue family be impeached for lax family management, but also the Jia family was impeached for the crime of trying to cover up. What are you going to impeach today?"

It's such a simple matter to kill and pay for one's life. If you want to catch one thing and keep impeaching it, you can't wait to charge all the relatives of the murderer. It seems that only in this way can you reflect your ability and value as a censor.

Wu Yushi heard Emperor Tianshun's impatience, peeked at Gu Xingchi who was standing lazily, and said bravely: "I want to impeach Prince Teng for lax discipline. Xue Pan, as his nephew, However, he did not play the role of restraint and discipline. When Xue Pan first came to the capital, he was able to kill people without any scruples. Maybe he relied on the power of the royal family and it is unknown..."

Emperor Tianshun rubbed his temples.Such a simple murder case, if it involved the Jia family, why would it involve the Wang family?He used Wang Ziteng so much, couldn't Wu Yushi see that Wang Ziteng was his?

"Wang Qing's family has always run the family rigorously and acted cautiously. How could they allow their children to do such a thing? Wu Qing's family may have misunderstood."

The emperor said this, but Wu Yushi was still unmoved, "I heard that Xue Pan called Mr. Wang as his uncle when he was taken away by the officials. Can Mr. Wang get away with it?"

Emperor Tianshun felt that Wu Yushi was deliberately obstructing him—no, perhaps an official of a certain faction wanted to pull the prince off his horse...

Thinking of this, Emperor Tianshun looked at Wu Yushi with questioning eyes.

Wu Yushi wanted to cry but had no tears, but he bravely met Emperor Tianshun's gaze.

"If His Majesty doesn't impose severe punishments, I'm afraid everyone will follow suit. If everyone relies on officials to rely on power and can't be disciplined, where will the law be placed? How will the people view the imperial court and the royal family?"

Although Emperor Tianshun was a little grumpy, he was very patient as an emperor when he was in court.So even though he had heard these words countless times, he still put on a serious and contemplative attitude.

"Wu Yushi is a little exaggerated?" A clear voice came out.

Everyone followed the sound, but it was the Marquis of Jing'an who rarely came to court.

It was rare for Gu Xingchi to express any opinion, and Emperor Tianshun became energetic when he heard it, "What do you want to say, Marquis Jing'an?"

Gu Xingchi took a look at Wu Yushi and chuckled: "If according to Wu Yushi's statement, the relatives of the Wu family did bad things in the name of Wu Yushi, Wu Yushi should also be held responsible?"

Wu Yushi's brows twitched, "Master Hou, isn't this arrogance?"

"Isn't this the same as what Wu Yushi said? Could it be that Wu Yushi only allows state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps?"

Wu Yushi snorted coldly: "In terms of nonsense, I am no match for Lord Hou. The Xue family is just the family of the imperial merchants. When Xue Pan first came to the capital, he was so unscrupulous. Who else could have this courage if it wasn't given by the Wang family? "

Gu Xingchi retorted: "Wu Yushi also said that Xue Pan came to the capital for the first time. If I remember correctly, Mr. Wang was promoted to a foreign post before Xue's family came to Beijing. He didn't even meet Xue's family. Restraining and disciplining Xue Pan, how can he instruct Xue Pan to rely on the power of the Wang family to bully others? This happened only three days ago, how did Lord Wang know about it when he was far away from the capital, and how could he protect Xue Pan? Wu Yushi’s impeachment is far-fetched.” He smiled, and if there was deep meaning in his eyes, "Or maybe Wu Yushi was instructed by someone to do this..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at Wu Yushi.This was what they wanted to say, but they didn't want to hurt themselves, so they didn't expect Gu Xingchi to point it out bluntly.

Wu Yushi's expression turned flustered just right, "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, I'm really doing this for His Majesty and the country."

"Oh, Wu Yushi's so-called consideration for His Majesty and the country, is he talking about others without any basis?"

Not to be outdone, Wu Yushi said: "Master Hou has never cared about these matters, but now he is arguing with me for Mr. Wang. Could it be that he has received some benefits from the Wang family?"

"Enough!" Emperor Tianshun was completely impatient.

"Your Majesty." Wu Yushi bowed his head.

Emperor Tianshun said: "Both of them are justified. But what Jing'an said is good, don't impeach others without basis. However, I will ask and reprimand Wang Qing's family in the memorial, Wu Yushi Don't say any more."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Wu Yushi heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After Wu Yushi's impeachment, no matter how many times people from Rongguo Mansion invited him, Jia Yucun couldn't shirk it.Wang Ziteng was reprimanded, how many heads did he dare to protect the Xue family?

It's just that he didn't know how the matter had reached Emperor Tianshun's ears, and a murder case could involve so many...

Jia Zheng, who rarely showed his face in front of Emperor Tianshun, was called into the palace, received a reprimand, and returned to Rongguo Mansion with a gloomy face.As soon as she saw Mrs. Wang, she slapped her head and covered her face and said, "Let's stop here, I can't help."

"My lord—" Mrs. Wang hastily greeted her, "What should I do with Pan'er, and how can I explain to my sister?"

Jia Zheng's face was ashen, "He didn't know how to restrain himself when he first arrived in the capital, and he caused trouble everywhere. That's all. I didn't expect that he would kill people. Do I have to take care of the troubles he caused? The Xue family doesn't care about it. Is it my fault for being strict? Anyway, I can't control this matter, if you are not afraid that His Majesty will anger our Jia family, you can go."

"My sister only has this one son. Do you want to watch him lose his life?"

Jia Zheng sneered, "That's the only way to go."

At this time, Aunt Xue, mother and daughter also rushed over after hearing the news, and just heard these words, they fainted suddenly...
