Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, then hesitantly said:

"Qian Pengzu, the magistrate of Jiangxi, has nothing to do with our Jia family, but he is related to Li Yushi's family in the capital. Do you think we can let him relax a little bit through Li Yushi's place? Will the second brother be much better now?"

Mother Jia took a look at Mrs. Wang to see if she had any good candidates to recommend. Mrs. Wang is a ladylike family who stays in the inner courtyard all day. Except for those who are related to the Wang family and Jia family, who else is there? Where have I heard of it?

But Mrs. Wang thought about it and said:

"Although it is important to let the master suffer less crimes, the most important thing now is to find someone to intercede with the master on the holy ground, to see if the master can be found innocent, and it is best to be able to return to his post."

Mother Jia nodded when she heard this, and felt that what the second daughter-in-law said was right, the most important thing was to have someone intercede for the second child in front of the Holy Master, and now the Jia family only had Jia Zheng working in the court.

If even he loses his official position, the Jia family will really have no one in Jia Zheng's generation who can speak in the court, which will be very detrimental to the Jia family.

If only the empress in the palace was still there, there would be ready-made candidates to help intercede for the Jia family in front of the Holy Master, so we don't have to worry about this together now.

But now, apart from Wang Ziteng, who are closer to the Jia family, the others have long been estranged from the Jia family. It is better that the Jia family asks them for some small things. I will promise to help support it.

But if you want them to intercede for Jia Zheng at the risk of offending the Holy Majesty on behalf of the Jia family, this possibility is really slim!People who don't know their own family, there is no need to take this risk for the sake of Jia's family.

Jia Amnesty also couldn't think of anyone willing to intercede for the Jia family, so he could only say:

"Or, let's wait for Lord Wang to intercede with the second brother! Anyway, as long as we guarantee that the second brother will not suffer any hardships before this, and after Lord Wang intercedes for him, he can continue to be his official. big impact."

Mother Jia and the others had no choice but to wait.

In Jia's mansion, Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and Jia She made up their pieces together, and almost emptied out the rest of their old background. Only then did they finally gather enough 3 to [-] taels of silver for Jia Lian and Lai The butler rushed over to Jiangxi with him.

As for the prefect of Jiangxi, let Jia She, who is close to the Li family, talk about it.

After the Jia Mansion hastily coordinated all aspects of Jia Zheng's affairs, they could only quietly wait for the news from the Holy Majesty and Jiangxi.

As for Wang Ziteng, who is still in office, his life is not easy. His Majesty's people have been investigating the case of embezzlement of military pay during his tenure.

Wang Ziteng himself was deeply involved, and he had to find ways to prevent those people from investigating, and because of the order of the Holy Majesty to go up and down secretly, he returned to Beijing to serve as a cabinet scholar, and the military power on his side has been sent by the Holy Majesty People took over.

The reason why I am still staying here is to assist in the investigation, and at this time, the bad news that has been passed on from my sister, Madam Wang, in Jingzhong, such as the sudden death of the empress, the loss of the psychic treasure, Jia Baoyu is stupid , Now even my brother-in-law has an accident in the local area!

Wang Ziteng has always had a very bad premonition in his heart. Could it be that the Holy Majesty found out some news that was not good for himself and the Jia family?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the Jia family, which is closely related to the Wang family, had accidents one after another. Could it be that someone was doing something secretly?

Wang Ziteng was a bit overwhelmed now, but for the sake of his sister, he still wrote a letter back to the capital. The officials in the capital who belonged to his side tried their best to plead for Jia Zheng. Reluctantly pleading for mercy for her useless brother-in-law, let the Holy One deal with it first.

When the Jia family and the Wang family were running for Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng was thrown into the prison in disgrace. Looking at the prisoners in the prison and the very dirty and smelly environment, Jia Zheng fell to the ground. Still a little lost.

Jia Zheng couldn't figure it out. Didn't he just listen to the opinions of the people around him and asked the people below to pay for the food in advance, and he didn't want to pay them back in the future? As for suing the emperor?

The Holy Majesty would actually punish himself for such a trivial matter. Didn't it mean that when his father was alive, the Holy Majesty and the Emperor valued his father very much?

I also got this shady official position because of my father. After so many years, how could I suddenly turn my face?

Jia Zheng still doesn't quite understand it, but he doesn't know if the people in charge of the government didn't torture Jia Zheng to extract a confession because of the face of the Jia family, but even opened him up in a cell alone.

Compared with other miserable people around, it is considered very good, but unfortunately for Jia Zheng who has always been regarded as pampered, just staying in the prison is already an unbearable thing Not to mention the dirty and smelly environment and air in the prison.

The expired porridge, black steamed buns, and the unclean water made it impossible for Jia Zheng to stay for a quarter of an hour.

Never in my heart like now, I hope that the mansion can receive the news that I can send it back quickly, and I hope that my mother and elder brother can quickly think of a way to rescue myself from here.

By the time Jia Lian and the others rushed to Jiangxi, Jia Zheng had already been in prison for several days.

Because they were very worried about Jia Zheng's situation, Jia Lian and the others did not dare to delay, and asked people to inquire about good news, and handed over the greeting card of Jia's mansion, and after getting permission.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Lian and the others went to the mansion of the official who was in charge of investigating the case, and gave him a generous gift. Of course, other relevant personnel did not forget to offer a generous gift, and they chatted with those officials for a long time. Feng, this is the opportunity to visit Jia Zheng in prison.

Those who came to investigate the case under the orders of the Holy Majesty looked at the backs of Jia Lian and the others leaving, and asked the Shangguan a little uneasy, saying:

"It's not good for us to accept gifts from Jia's family in such an open and aboveboard way? Or, we should send someone to send them back?"

An official appointed by His Majesty to investigate this case saw how trembling his subordinates were, fearing that they would be implicated in him, smiled and comforted them and said:

"Don't worry, if there is no meaning from the above, I would not dare to accept the Jia family's things in this stormy mouth, but you should let people put away the things sent by the Jia family, and I will hand them in after returning to Beijing. See How did the above deal with it?"

The officials saw how they handled the things sent by the Jia family, and they finally let go of their concerns. Everyone has been an official for so many years, and they still have at least a sense of vigilance. From the current point of view, it is best to distance themselves from the Jia family. It's better not to be implicated by them.

When Jia Lian entered the prison, seeing the very haggard Jia Zheng, he couldn't help saying:

"Second uncle, my nephew is here to see you. How are you doing? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

When Jia Zheng heard Jia Lian's voice, he managed to open his eyes and saw that it was really someone from the mansion. He was so excited that he dragged his feet and dragged the iron chain to move over the wooden fence, and said in a trembling voice:

"It's Lian'er and Housekeeper Lai, did the mansion know that something happened to me, so they let you come here?"

Jia Lian saw that his second uncle was in an unprecedented embarrassment this time, thinking that he must not have eaten and slept well here in the prison, so he opened the lunch box in his hand with a bit of distress, and said:

"Second uncle, you have suffered these days, eat something first! I will tell you the rest slowly, don't worry."

Butler Lai is Mother Jia's confidant. Seeing the second master like this, if the old lady finds out, I don't know how to feel distressed!

He also persuaded: "Yes, Second Master, you have to eat first, we will talk slowly later, there is still plenty of time."

Jia Zheng hadn't eaten properly for several days, and when he saw the meals in the food box, both meat and vegetables, he restrained his anxiety and filled his stomach first.

Jia Lian took advantage of Jia Zheng's meal and took a look at the environment in the cell. Compared with the cells that many people crowded together when they came in from the outside, his second uncle's cell alone is indeed much better. .

No wonder when they visited those officials before, they said that they had asked people to take special care of their second uncle. It seemed that they were not talking nonsense.

After seeing that Jia Zheng was almost done eating, Jia Lian said:

"Second uncle, the old ancestors in the mansion know about your affairs, so they sent me and Butler Lai here first, and the mansion is already trying to figure out other things, so you should stay in prison for a few days for aggrieved!

We will find a way for you outside. The second wife has sent someone to send a letter to Mr. Wang immediately, asking him to intercede for you in front of the Holy Master. The second uncle will be fine. "
