The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

The wind blows in the court, Xue Pan's old case is turned up, and Xue Pan is imprisoned, and Xue's family is gone. On that day, the slaves around Feng Yuan sued the old case from several years ago to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Shui Chen was furious when he heard about it. , Immediately ordered Dai Quan, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to dismiss Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng from their official positions, and even the concubine Yuan was demoted to one level, revoked the title of imperial concubine Yuan and demoted to concubine Yuan.

"What I hate the most in my life is clinging to nepotism and domineering. Now that the members of the Jia family are holding the imperial salary, they actually do such a thing. It is really unreasonable. The concubine Yuan in the palace is improper in supervising the family. It is immoral and in vain. Set an example for the women of the world, remove the title of Concubine Yuan and Concubine Yuan, and relegate her to Concubine Yuan, if she commits the crime again, she will be punished severely." After hearing Dai Quan finish reading every word, Concubine Yuan took the imperial edict and immediately fell to the ground, terrified. Baoqin was very anxious immediately, and hurriedly ordered people to carry Concubine Yuan to the palace.

It took a long time for Concubine Yuan to wake up, and she resented Mrs. Wang's ignorance that day, she actually led Xue's family into the house, and now she was implicated by them to the end, thinking that she had only become a noble concubine after many years in the palace The position has disappeared in an instant, and it is all because of the burden of the family members. I can't help but feel even more helpless and sad.

When Jia Mu heard that Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were dismissed from office, Yuan Concubine was demoted to Yuan Concubine, she was shocked, but for some reason, everyone in the Jia family heard the news and waited for the news in the main room. The guy still didn't come back.

It took quite a while to see Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng walked in dejectedly, with their feathers removed and dressed in commoner clothes. Mother Jia and the others rushed up to greet her and said, "What's going on here?"

Jia Zheng was speechless, with a look of guilt on his face, a little guilty of the court's kindness, but Jia She glared at Mrs. Wang and said: "If she hadn't provoked the mourning star of Xue's family, our family would How did you get involved so far?" I was really angry, if it wasn't for Mrs. Wang, why would the matter of Xue's family be involved in Jia's family, and now the dismissal from the official position is really infuriating.

Jia Zheng also said: "It's in vain that I always thought that I was an upright official. Who would have thought that you, a foolish woman, secretly wrote a letter to suppress the murder committed by the Xue family. Now that the Feng family sued the Xue family back then, it was actually a burden." Looking at our mansion, I am really ashamed of my ancestors and my majesty Long En."

Mother Jia was startled when she heard this, and looked at Mrs. Wang with deep anger in her eyes, and said sharply: "I told you that day about the Xue family, so you should not be messed with, but you, a stupid woman, did such a thing." When things like this come out, the empress in the palace is also troubled by you, as the mother of the empress, but she can't win glory for the empress, but now, the matter of the Xue family is even involved in our mansion."

Madam Wang heard that, of course, she didn't dare to speak. Seeing the ashen expressions of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, her thoughts turned, she looked at Sister Feng standing aside and said: "The letter that day was sent through a chain. It's not my fault that Er's name was sent out, it was Feng girl who facilitated it, she was worried about the Xue family's aunt, so what does it have to do with me?"

Sister Feng was even more shocked when she heard this. Seeing Mrs. Wang's expressionless face and putting the blame on herself, she couldn't make a statement. After all, she really sent the letter that day. Looking at Madam Xing's gloating appearance, she couldn't help but lower her head, feeling a little resentful towards Madam Wang, she was the one who asked me to send the letter in Jia Lian's name that day, but now she has pushed all of it on herself, so Said: "That day Liyuan was also my aunt's idea, and I just wrote the letter just following my aunt's idea."

Mother Jia naturally understood the whole story of this matter, but now she blames Sister Feng a little bit, saying: "Girl Feng, this is your fault, even if it is your aunt's intention, you should take it seriously, you should You shouldn't have sent this letter, after all, you are the grandma in charge of family affairs, you should know everything in your mind, what should you do now?"

Sister Feng was stunned for a while, looking at Mother Jia's loving face in the past, she couldn't help but feel even more ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to speak again. Jia Amnesty looked at Sister Feng even more dissatisfied, and said in a strange way: "It turns out that our uncle The daughter-in-law of the house, now it is because of the so-called aunt who has brought our eldest family down here, it is really hateful." Sister Feng felt full of grievances, looked at the expressions of everyone, but did not dare to speak, so she had to stand with her head bowed. aside.

Jia Mu looked at Sister Feng and said, "Forget it, just for it. Now that things have come to this, it can only be like this. The concubine Yuan is still young, but now the Holy Majesty is angry. It's hard to say everything. In the future, it is impossible to say that the empress will still win the Holy Spirit." Beloved, I can only hate that Lin girl and Prince Beijing don't care about us at all."

Jia Amnesty also said: "That's not true, the case of the Xue family was brought up by the Prince of Beijing, and the Holy One was so furious that he really didn't care about the slightest affection."

As she was talking, she heard the voice outside the door: "Report to the old lady, the old lady, the prince of Beijing is here." Mother Jia was slightly startled, and then hurriedly led everyone out of the main room, seeing the front yard full of imperial soldiers, she couldn't help feeling With a sound of 'cracking', my heart was even more flustered. After I walked into the hall, I saw Shui Rong standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the Rongxi Hall. He is full of majesty, and his royal demeanor is really fierce.

Mother Jia then knelt down and said, "Old man and everyone in the mansion have seen the Prince of Beijing." Shui Rong turned around slowly, glanced at Mother Jia and everyone, and said indifferently: "Old lady Jia, get up." Standing up, he said, "Thank you, my lord."

Shui Rong turned around, walked to the right seat and sat down, looked at the people standing on the ground, smiled coldly, and said, "The king of Ben came to the gate today to confirm something to Wang Jia." Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and then came back to her senses. Mrs. Wang was also full of puzzlement, and said: "I wonder when the lord will ask?"

Shui Rong clapped his hands, and the Imperial Forest Army outside the door pushed an old woman with a messy bun to come in. Everyone was also surprised, but the woman said: "The criminal woman has seen the prince." Hearing the familiar voice, Mrs. Wang Immediately startled, he took a closer look and found that it was really Aunt Xue who was driven out by him that day, and he couldn't help but complained even more in his heart.

Shui Rong looked at Mrs. Wang's expression, and said with a faint smile, "Xue Wang, just now you handed over a list to me, and I have already read it carefully. Is it in the hands of Jia Wang in this mansion?"

Mrs. Wang was surprised and angry when she heard this, she hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, we have checked clearly that our mansion has never received anything from Xue's family, let alone something advanced. Don't dare to do that."

Aunt Xue raised her head and said viciously: "Could it be that my sister came to our house that day and said it was a gift for the empress, but actually embezzled some good things? I have some lists for my sister. If my sister doesn't believe it , it should be judged by the prince."

Mother Jia was startled and angry when she heard that, she glared at Mrs. Wang, she never thought that Mrs. Wang would confiscate the valuables secretly. Seeing Jia Mu's expression, she just gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, and said sharply: "You bitch, I kindly let you stay in the mansion for a while that day, who would have thought that you would have such vicious thoughts, now your mansion is in ruins, Do you still want to drag us along? You really don't know what to do."

Aunt Xue looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, and said: "Good intentions, you ruined my daughter and spread the good fortune, and then saw that our Xue family was useless and broke the engagement. You deserve your daughter to be laughed at. Damn it!" The decree was actually treated as a piece of paper by her mother."

Mrs. Wang's eyes widened immediately, and she was even more furious because of Aunt Xue's brazenness. New and old grudges joined together, and she raised her hand to slap Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue was also not to be outdone. Everyone was in a mess, a cold smile overflowed from the corner of Shui Rong's mouth, tapped the table with his slender fingers, and said: "Today, this king has seen a lot, and it is really interesting to see such a big family wife." Be polite, you are worthy of being the wife raised by your great family." The sarcasm in the words became more and more obvious, making everyone in Jiamu's face uncomfortable, and they could not help but hastily ordered people to step forward and pull away Mrs. Wang and Xue. aunt.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were bloodshot, her temples were disheveled, and she totally ignored her usual kindness. She said sharply, "If it wasn't for your dishonest son, if it weren't for your shameless daughter, how could our family be so troubled?" He was in a state of embarrassment, but there was a sneer at the corner of his mouth and he stopped talking.

Jia Zheng stepped forward and slapped Mrs. Wang on the face, pulled Mrs. Wang to her knees and said, "How can you be so presumptuous in front of the lord? You really have lost all manners." He looked at Shui Rong also He knelt down and said, "I beg your lord to be merciful. It turned out that the guilty minister did not discipline properly. Please don't be offended by my lord."

"What's wrong?" Shui Rong looked at Mrs. Wang with a mocking smile in his eyes, and said, "I don't have that free time. I just came here today to make sure that the virtuous second wife in the old government's mansion approves this list." ?”

Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang with some disgust, and said: "My lord, just ask, if she wants to arrest this stupid woman, she deserves it." After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Mrs. Wang was shocked, and looked at Jia Zheng's livid face. , was a little at a loss, and looked at Aunt Xue on the side with even colder eyes.

Shui Rong sneered and said: "Mr. Jia, I will ask you again, do you know?" Mrs. Wang said: "I don't know." The Jia Wang family will be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to wait for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to issue it."

Mrs. Wang was furious when she heard this, she stood up and said: "I am a respectful person of the fourth rank in the imperial court, how can I allow you to insult me ​​like this, even the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty will definitely seek justice for me."

Shui Rong sneered, and said: "Mr. Gong? Oh, I forgot to take out this imperial decree." As he spoke, he took out a bright yellow imperial decree from his bosom, and said: "Everyone in Jia's residence accepts the decree."

Mother Jia and the others hurriedly knelt down, there was no time to prepare the incense table, and it was also too late to change their clothes. They knelt down anxiously, looked at them with water-soluble and mocking eyes, and said: "By God, the emperor said: Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion is here. He is a hero of the ancestors, but now among the great clans, he has betrayed my whole heart, disregarded the king's law and acted recklessly, and now he is even more deceitful and oppresses the good people. This is something I cannot tolerate. Remove all titles, hereby."

When Jia's mother heard this, she slumped on the ground, and Mrs. Wang was also stunned for a while, unable to recover, Shui Rong slowly took the imperial decree in her hand, and said, "Why? Mrs. Jia, are you still a respectful person? "As he spoke, he handed the imperial decree to the little eunuch beside him, and said with a sneer, "Give it to Mrs. Jia, and let her take a closer look." The little eunuch hurriedly carried the imperial decree to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the imperial decree unconsciously, and suddenly she became a little crazy, saying: "This must be false, your empress is a noble concubine, and I am your own mother. Fourth-rank respectful people in the court, how can you tolerate this?" slander at will." He took the imperial decree and threw it far away.

Shui Rong's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he slapped the big case in the main hall with his palm, and said: "Mr. Jia, you are so courageous. You are so disrespectful of the holy will, and even trampled on the holy imperial pen at will. How can this king forgive you? Come on!" People, take this Jia Wang family to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." The Imperial Forest Army outside the door came in in response, dragging Mrs. Wang to go out.

At this time, Mother Jia was even more flustered, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, my lord, no matter what, she is also the mother of the concubine Yuan in the palace, please forgive me, even if she doesn't look at the concubine Yuan Concubine Jing's aunt, the flesh and blood of our family, please forgive me."

Shui Rong heard the sudden killing intent in his eyes, got up and walked to Jia Mu, looked down at Jia Mu and said, "Aunt? Why doesn't this king remember that this king's concubine has a relative like you, how dare you take the risk? Acknowledging the royal family, Jia Shishi, you are so courageous, usually the king doesn't care about you, but let you plot against the king and concubine again and again." He raised his voice and said: "Take this Jia Shishi, who pretended to be the royal family, was dragged into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice together, waiting to be punished."

Mother Jia was startled in her heart, trembling all over with anger, looking at Shui Rong's disdainful expression, she regretted her words just now, and now she actually dragged her own into it. In my own mind, Shui Rong has never given the Jia family the slightest bit of face, so I can't help but hate and worry, but I don't know how to get out at this time.

Jia She and Jia Zheng, who were kneeling beside him, also hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty is merciful. It turns out that the old lady was confused for a moment. Please don't worry about it." Shui Rong smiled coldly and said, "Don't care about it? You have to worry about it, if you really think that the world is in your hands, and it is up to you to plan everywhere, don't think that I don't know about the scandals in your house on weekdays, and that a big family can teach some shameless ladies, it's really impressive What a joke."

Tanchun, who wanted to ask for favor, was stunned at the side after hearing Shui Rong's words, his face was full of shame, he didn't dare to come forward to say anything, Sister Feng and Li Wan were also speechless

Shui Rong glanced at the crowd coldly, and said, "I've left my words here today. If anyone has any plans in their hearts in the Beijing Palace in the future, they will end up just like Xue Baochai." The soldier said: "Take the two of them down, find out the things on the Wang Xue's list to this king, and privately seize the above things, I will thoroughly investigate to the end."

Everyone in Jia's mansion was even more anxious, they didn't know what to do for a while, they watched Shui Rong take Jia Mu and Mrs Wang out, Jia Zheng hurriedly caught up with Shui Rong, knelt in front of Shui Rong and kowtowed: "I beg your lord to be merciful. Why, my mother is already old, and the guilty minister is willing to go to jail instead of Jia Mu, so I beg the prince to forgive me." Anyway, Jia Mu is her mother in name, how can she be ignored?

Jia Amnesty also hurried forward and said: "I beg your lord to be merciful." Even if Jiamu's bosoms are not known, naturally she can't just let Jiamu go to prison like this, if not, wouldn't those bosoms never see the light of day?

Seeing their different expressions, Shui Rong smiled faintly, seeing Jia Mu's resentful expression, suddenly smiled coldly, and said: "In this case, this king will temporarily forgive Jia Shishi's crime of impersonating the royal family. Here, let's settle the accounts together, and put away some thoughts that you have in your mind." Then he ordered someone to release Jiamu, who was so frightened that she became paralyzed and unable to stand up.

Shui Rong stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, watching Aunt Zhao lead the Imperial Forest Army to move out the items from Mrs. Wang's room one by one, and suddenly saw a Jade Bodhisattva. A mocking smile flashed by, he raised the bodhisattva in his hand, and said, "Jia Shi, do you know who this emerald bodhisattva belongs to?"

After Jiamu took it and looked at it carefully, her face turned even paler. She looked at Mrs. Wang with an unsteady expression, and said angrily, "Why is the Emerald Guanyin Bodhisattva that Min'er honored to me that day in your room?" Mrs. Wang was speechless, Jia Zheng was also shocked, but Jia Amnesty looked at the Emerald Bodhisattva with greedy eyes, and looked at Mrs. Wang with twinkling eyes, unable to imagine that the normally dull second wife would There are such means.

Shui Rong smiled coldly, and ordered everyone to take these things out, and hand them over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a thorough investigation, then turned around and was about to leave. Baoyu, who was coming up ahead, saw Shui Rong, but smiled and said: "My lord, are you sending Sister Lin back?" Is it? Where is sister Lin?"

Jia Zheng was even more powerless when he heard this, and said angrily, "Baoyu, what are you doing, shut up quickly." Seeing Jia Zheng's livid face, Baoyu hurriedly kept quiet, but Shui Rong burst into anger , Looking at Baoyu coldly, he said, "Jia Baoyu, who are you? How dare you call me my concubine like this? How can I forgive you? Come and take this Jia Baoyu and Jia Wang's away together, and let him stay here Introspect for two days in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Jia Zheng couldn't speak anymore at this moment, he could only watch Shui Rong take Mrs. Wang and Baoyu away from Jia's mansion, secretly anxious in his heart, but he couldn't help it, Mother Jia watched Shui Rong leave with an even more cloudy expression. The figure in his heart was full of hatred and anger.
