Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

The other people listened to their boss's words, and thought of the harvest this time, they all felt very reasonable, but it was a pity that there were only one or two thin clothes left on the bodies of those newcomers, and nothing else.

Otherwise, they might still be able to continue to make some small fortunes. It would be great if they could exchange the robbed things for some meat with those jailers!

Hengan and the others endured like this, until the afternoon of the second day when they came in, they finally couldn't bear it any longer. First of all, Jia Lan, the youngest child, picked up the porridge in front of him and slowly began to drink it. .

Although Jia Lan was so stimulated by the porridge that smelled like rotten water in the stinky ditch that tears were left behind, he still drank half a bowl of porridge little by little, and when he felt that he was still so hungry, Jia Lan Only then did he stop drinking the porridge.

Jia Zong and the others wanted to stop Jia Lan from drinking at first, but even they themselves were so hungry that they had no strength left, and they didn't even have the strength to stand up. Stop it.

After Jia Lan finished drinking, Jia Huan immediately started drinking too. Instead of being starved to death, Jia Huan didn't care if there was any problem with the food. Anyway, other people could drink it, and he couldn't do anything serious if he drank it himself.

Seeing that they both drank, Heng An and Jia Zong couldn't bear the torture in their stomachs at this time, and they also drank the porridge together.

Hengan and the others may be because they are all young children. The only food they will be given out in prison is porridge. Don’t even think about those pancakes. There is no such good treatment in the prison.

Another day passed quickly, and after the people from Rongguo Mansion were imprisoned for three days, finally someone from the government came to interrogate the prisoner.

The first ones to be interrogated by Sun Da and the Ministry of Criminal Justice were Jia She and the others. The crimes committed by the Rongguo Mansion had already been written down in advance. They are suspected of committing a crime, sign and draw a pledge, and just press their fingerprints.

Jia Amnesty and the others knelt in the hall and confessed most of the crimes mentioned by the adults in the courtroom, but when it was Jia Zheng's turn, he suddenly said:

"Returning to my lord, the people in Rongguo's mansion just mentioned are not aware of the things that the people in the Rongguo mansion did. On weekdays, the affairs of the mansion are managed by the eldest brother and the wife of the family. The people in the house don't care much about the affairs of the mansion. If you want to know the specifics, you need to ask Cao Min’s eldest brother and nephew, my lord.”

At this time, Sun Da who was sitting in the courtroom said in an unclear tone:

"Oh, according to what you said, Jia Zheng, you didn't take part in the illegal and criminal things that everyone in the Rongguo Mansion did, so you don't know?"

Jia Zheng looked very honest and knelt there, and said:

"Yes, because the title in the mansion is inherited by Caomin's eldest brother, and Caomin knows that he will be separated from the mansion sooner or later, so he has never participated in the affairs of Rongguo Mansion. Even the internal affairs are handled by Caomin's mother and wife Wang. Deal with it, for the mistakes they made, the grassroots can't believe it, and please forgive me for the crime of negligence."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, who were kneeling on the side, were shocked by Jia Zheng's way of pushing all the incidents on them, and looked at Jia Zheng, who looked righteous and innocent, with unbelievable eyes.

The presiding officer sitting in the court hall looked at Jia Amnesty at this moment, and asked:

"Oh, Jia She, Enhou Jia, is it true what your younger brother Jia Zheng said, that all the illegal and criminal things that Rongguo has done over the years were instigated by you father and son?"

Jia Amnesty has never been so disappointed in his younger brother as he is now, even though his mother had been partial to Jia Zheng before, letting Jia Zheng and his second wife occupy Rongxitang, which should have been lived in by him, and hand over the housekeeping power to the Wang family.

During this process, my mother and the Wang family have exchanged property that should belong to me. Jia She is not unaware of it, but Jia She always thinks that he and Jia Zhengshi are brothers in the same mother. It's my own mother.

Unexpectedly, they have done so many things in their own name over the years, and in the end, when something happened, they would blame themselves and Da Fang for all the crimes, which really made him feel very disappointed.

Jia Amnesty raised his head and glanced at Jia Lian who was kneeling next to him, and knew that Jia Mu and the second room had ordered Jia Lian to do many of the things in Rongguo Mansion. Come.

At that time, Jia Lian will not be able to escape the responsibility of being held accountable. It is true that I have not taught Jia Lian well these years, which is why Jia Lian was drawn in by his mother and the people from the second room, and he has done so many wrong things unconsciously. .

Jia Shen saw that Jia Lian's face was three points like his original wife, at this moment he felt very ashamed of his original wife. The cowardly one dared not pursue it further, for fear that the truth would be unbearable for him.

Over the years, because of guilt and self-blame, Jia She hardly dared to face Jia Lian and neglected to teach him, causing Jia Lian to commit so many wrong things, Jia She felt that he was also responsible for a large part.

Looking at his son's youthful face and the way he suppressed the panic, Jia Amnesty sighed in his heart. He felt that he was also responsible for what Jia Lian did anyway. One person resists these things.

Anyway, it can leave a way for Jia Lian to live. As for what will happen to him, Jia She dare not think about it. The worst is to lose this life. Anyway, I have lived for so long and I have enjoyed enough. Even if I die at this time, it is nothing. sorry.

Jia She took a deep look at Jia Lian, then kowtowed to the presiding judge in the hall and admitted:

"Returning to my lord, most of the crimes my lord just mentioned were indeed committed by Caomin's son Jia Lian, because Jia Lian was young and ignorant.

He didn't understand that the things Caomin asked him to do would make him violate the laws of Daxia, and the ignorant would not be guilty. He also asked the adults to forgive him for the sake of his youth and ignorance. These things have nothing to do with him. If you want to punish the crime of a grassroots person alone, let the grassroots person be punished alone! "

The presiding judge in the hall slapped the gavel on the desk and said:

"Jia Amnesty, do you know the consequences of what you said? I hope you will consider it carefully and don't try to deceive us."

At this time, Jia Lian was not shocked by his father's words. I don't know why Jia Amnesty wanted to cover up for him, and put his share of the crime on himself, and shouted in a low voice,

"Father..."

Jia Amnesty ignored Jia Lian's shouts and admitted directly:

"Caomin knows what he is talking about. These are my orders, and I am the orthodox heir to the Rongguo Mansion. Without my orders, they would not have the guts to do such outrageous things. Please, my lords, Being able to spare the life of Cao Min’s son is none of his business.”

The three presiding judges sitting in the hall glanced at each other, seeing that Jia She insisted on taking these charges on himself, anyway, the result was the same, as long as the people from Rongguo Mansion pleaded guilty to those charges.

Therefore, Sun Da simply asked people to take those pleading papers to Jia She, to prove that his own words were true, and to keep them as evidence. After finishing all these, Sun Da said:

"Since you have confessed to these crimes, come here and separate them for interrogation. I want to see how many things we don't know about this Rongguo Mansion, especially about their crimes. clear."

The yamen servants standing side by side in the lobby responded with a "here" and took Jia Amnesty and the others under arrest for interrogation in private.

In fact, officials like Sun Da and the others who sat in the hall had already investigated the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion very clearly. They were very clear about whether Jia Amnesty and the others had done anything.

Although they were a little surprised that Jia Amnesty took Jia Lian's crimes on himself in the end, they still couldn't understand the relationship between father and son.

After investigating for so long, the crimes of those people in Rongguo Mansion have basically been determined, but what makes them and the Holy One most depressing is that this Rongguo Mansion is too poor, and the property copied from Rongguo Mansion is not as good as theirs. One-tenth of the property copied from Ningguo Mansion next door!

If they didn't know that Rongguo Mansion was really stolen once, they would really think that Rongguo Mansion is capable of hiding all the property in their mansion!

However, through the separate interrogation of those people in the Rongguo Mansion, we also know that the Rongguo Mansion is really poor and almost has nothing to eat. It is true that the huge Rongguo Mansion can be played like this, and people who know the inside story have to admire it. Let's take a look at the prodigal skills of those women in Rongguo Mansion.

Although it is said that not much property was confiscated from the Rongguo Mansion, when the officers and soldiers searched the homes of the servants in the Rongguo Mansion later, it was really an eye-opener!
