The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Jia She, who was melancholy enough, patted his face and tried to cheer up: "Lead the way, I want to inspect the Prison Temple."

Qiu Shi'an hastily yelled out: "The Emperor Taishang is coming, and everyone kneels to welcome him!" There was a sound of "crackling", and the floor was full of people kneeling and kowtowing. Jia Amnesty puffed out his chest and belly, The wind was blowing under his feet, and he walked straight towards the place where Jia Zheng was yelling. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, who were pushed to the first row by the followers, tried their best to trot to keep up with Jia She's vigorous pace.

In the deepest part of the Prison Temple, Jia Zheng was wrestling with Mrs. Wang, turning a deaf ear to what happened outside the window. Yuan Chun helped Mrs. Wang and was slapped by Jia Zheng, and was crying against the wall with his face covered;

Aunt Zhao shrank silently in her cell, and Aunt Zhou, who was always invisible, was imprisoned with her;

Li Wan huddled in another corner, tried to poke his head out through the railing, and stared at his son Jia Lan in the next room obsessively, watching for a while and crying for a while, and when he was tired of crying, he wiped away his tears and then watched, repeating the cycle;

Tanchun still avoids getting close to Aunt Zhao, but she no longer hugs Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang, and becomes the only lonely person in the prison;

Jia Huan and Jia Lan, who were locked up with female prisoners because they were underage, hugged each other and huddled in a corner of the prison, not daring to say a word, for fear of becoming a punching bag for the loser of the two;

Jia Baoyu was in the same prison as them, but after being locked up for so many days, Jia Baoyu seldom said a few words. Seeing Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang fighting hard, she kept silent like a blind and deaf man. What Huan said was "more than half of this person is dead, he is useless." Of course, he was scolded by Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang together when he finished speaking, but now no one will scold Jia Huan again because of Baoyu. .

As soon as Jia She walked in, he covered his nose: "Bah, what a smell! I'm so smoked to death."

Qiu Shi'an stood in front of his master and fanned his sleeves desperately: "Quickly open the windows and doors to ventilate the air. Your Majesty, stand back and don't choke."

Jia Rong covered her mouth and wanted to vomit: "Not only does it choke people, but it also smokes eyes." It feels like ten stable latrines have been piled up together. Is there really any living people in it?

The guard said privately: "Prisoners are not allowed to go out. The toilets are all piled up in the prison, and the natural smell is bad. Your Majesty, please wait outside for a while, and the villains will go clean it."

Jia Amnesty was moved with compassion: "Is there any other space available? Pull them out to let the air out." The most important thing is that this group of people have been locked up here for so long, I'm afraid they are covered in this kind of persistent pain. Even if the house was cleaned, he didn't have the courage to stand in front of them to experience this ecstatic olfactory challenge.

The guard hurriedly said: "Because it is a temporary prison, no one has visited the prison yet, so there is no specific place. My dear, there are two side rooms on both sides of the Prison Temple. Only one side is occupied by the guardian women, and the other side is temporarily vacant. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, why don't you mention the prisoner there?"

Qiu Shi'an was dissatisfied and said: "Your Majesty is honorable, how can you go to such a lowly place?" What kind of place is the ear room?In big families, no one can live there, either as a warehouse or as a kitchen, and even the servants are not willing to set foot there.If it is in a poor people's home, the main house in the middle is for the elders, and the side room is for the younger generation, so there is an insurmountable status difference.Regardless of his status or seniority, Jia Amnesty is supreme throughout the country, and it is the court's face to condescend to condescend.

The guard hurriedly changed his words: "There are three west wing rooms in the courtyard, which are the residences of the head of the prison on duty. I don't know where..."

Jia She held his nose and said in a low voice, "Let's go there!" The guard hurriedly ordered people to clean up first, and at the same time ordered the young children who were running errands to run to the city to find the head of the prison.Now it's the festive season, the head of the prison is not guarding the prison, but has returned to his residence in the city to have a family reunion, but unexpectedly, the old man, the Supreme Emperor, suddenly became upbeat and came to visit the prison at noon of the new year .

This is really - I don't know which tendon is wrong!

Jia She was sitting on a chair temporarily moved out of the yard, planning to summon a few people later—his time to go out was limited, and it was impossible to visit each prison one by one—besides, Jia She was unhappy thinking: Then Jia Yuanchun came back in a majestic way back then. I never met him when I was visiting relatives.So, Taishanghuang, do you realize that you have automatically and consciously designated this event as "visiting relatives"?

Jia She obviously didn't realize that after the house was cleaned up, Jia She sighed and scratched his hair lazily: "Let's do it according to your age!"

Shi Taijun, who was still no longer beautiful, was brought up. She was wearing clean clothes that she changed in a hurry, her eyes were flashy but a little white from washing, and the whole dress was put on the short and thin little old lady, making her look fatter and fatter He was big, and at first glance it was the tall and fat guard who was changing clothes. Seeing Jia Amnesty, Shi Taijun rolled his eyes twice, his lips moved but did not make a sound, and swallowed the words that he didn't know whether he wanted to beg for mercy or to curse. No salute, just stood there.

The house had been emptied by Qiu Shi'an, except for him who was serving him personally and the four personal guards of the Supreme Emperor, even Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were driven far outside the courtyard to blow the cold wind.Jia Amnesty was sitting, Shi Taijun was standing, the two looked at each other for a long time but neither of them spoke.Qiu Shian had no choice but to clear his throat, and took the initiative to offer the topic: "The criminal woman in the hall, don't you know how to greet the Supreme Emperor?"

Shi Taijun said coldly: "Women don't dare to pay respects to the Supreme Emperor, for fear of ruining the nobleman's life." She is Jia She's biological mother, and no matter how high Jia She is, she can't erase the fact that she crawled out of her stomach.Now her hairless phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, but it's not something Jia She can laugh at.

Hearing this, Jia She suddenly smiled: "You have always looked down on me, I know that, but I never knew why?" Before Shi Taijun could reply, Jia She turned his gaze to the corner of the wall, his tone was flat and unequivocal. He said without any ups and downs: "Back then Jia Yuanchun was still your granddaughter. When she came out of the palace, didn't you still kneel down to welcome her? Why, now that I'm here, I'm only thinking about the life-saving thing?"

Shi Taijun's eyes widened suddenly, and anger flashed in his eyes. With a "shua", the four guards unanimously swiped the long knives around their waists. The bright blade refracted in Shi Taijun's eyes, reflecting a frightening blue-white color.

Jia Amnesty smiled: "The widow would like to thank you for not paying my respects to the widow, because you see, you knelt down to Jia Yuanchun back then, and now she has no luck and has to lose her life. The widow also wants to thank you for not favoring the widow, because you see, back then you I love the second child, and now he has been stripped of his upright skin and has nothing. Finally, the widow would like to thank you for not caring about the widow's children, because it turns out that the ones you raise are either ineffective or don't live long, thanks to your inability to see Shangyan, let my Shan'er escape from birth, and now she is sitting in the world. The widow sincerely thanks you, for this reason, the widow even specially asked for an imperial decree for you, you should get out of prison right now."

Shi Taijun opened his mouth, Qiu Shi'an stared nervously, afraid that she would yell again, but he forgot, Rao is such a daring villain, and those who have been in prison and escaped will never be the same. The aristocratic lady's aura that has shrouded her body for many years has long been exhausted. Shi Taijun, who was once too proud of being born in a Hou family, married into a public house, and born with wealth, finally remembered in her lonely prison life. Counting up to three generations, she Our ancestors were nothing but poor peasants with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky.The breeding of aristocrats, the third generation sees through, and the fourth generation sees through... She is just the second generation with a beautiful painted skin. Her own son Jia She, whom she has hated for many years, is the beginning of the rich blood.

In the end, Shi Taijun grunted a few times, knelt down without saying a word, received the imperial edict with three kowtows and nine obeisances, and staggered out.Jia Rong saw from a distance that the desolate and messy figure of the old lady who once ruled the two houses gradually disappeared into the distant view of the snowy sky, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, turning her elbow and Jia Qiang said: "Do you have any questions?" Didn't you feel that a mountain that was pressing on your head was moved away?"

Jia Qiang nodded: "It's a lot easier, but the mountain was not moved, it was overthrown." Jia Rong let out a short sneer, and then hurriedly covered her mouth.

According to his age, Jia Zheng should be the second one to come over, but his face was covered in bloodstains when Mrs. Wang grabbed him, how could he be willing to see Jia Amnesty?And Mrs. Wang is the murderous enemy that Jia She doesn't want to see. He will never forgive these two people, including their children. Yuan Chun is about to be sent to the Imperial Hospital to work as a medicine man, but this is not worth the life of his Hu'er.

As for the Jia Wang family, Shan'er has given her the punishment of death, so it is not worth his shot, and he believes that when she dies in the hell, Mrs. Ning will be willing to entertain her personally. .

Therefore, Li Wan was brought up next, and Li Wan refused to separate from his son, fearing that he would never see each other again if he misunderstood him, so he insisted on holding Jia Lan tightly.Jia Huan was even more afraid that Jia Lan would leave, and he would have to face the crazy Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun alone in the future, and he refused to let Jia Lan go no matter what.In the past, if they dared to make such a fuss, the guards would have already whipped and boarded them.But right now the Supreme Emperor is calling people by name, how dare they beat them into blood gourds?What's more, the first person who visited was released, how could he know that the Supreme Emperor's visit this time was not an amnesty?The guards, bound by imagination, had no choice but to string the three of them together and slip out.
