Chapter 121 Reluctance

 The next morning, outside Ningguo Mansion, there were crowds of people waiting eagerly.

It includes:

Jia Dairu, Daixiu and other generations.

Jia Zheng, Jia Xiao, Jia Dun and other literary generations.

Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Jia Rui, Jia Chen, Jia Qiong and other generations with jade characters, but Baoyu and Jia Huan are not seen.

Jia Rong, Jia Rong, Jia Chang, Jia Qin, Jia Yun and other cursive characters, Jia Lan is too young and has not yet arrived.

The old and young men of the Jia family were waiting respectfully at the left side of the road for the prime minister, but among them there was no female dependents for the prime minister.

Today is the day when Jia Heng takes over the Ningguo Mansion.

Last night, Jia Zheng paid a visit to Jia Heng with the decree from the palace.

He said that tomorrow he would lead the young and old men of the clan in front of Ningguo Mansion to welcome Jia Heng back to the clan.

That night, although Jia Heng tried his best to refuse, he could not overcome Jia Zheng's hard persuasion and begging, so he had no choice but to agree.

Looking at the street in the distance, Jia Zheng frowned and asked Jia Lian beside him, "Your father, why didn't you come today?"

Jia Lian said softly: "My lord, he is not feeling well today, so he asked me to come."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he knew he had something hidden, so he sighed.

"Coming, coming." At this moment, the boy from the Jia family ran over from the intersection and said, "Uncle Heng, you are on the road."

A carriage drove slowly forward, followed by the maids Baozhu and Ruizhu on both sides, and Grandma Li following behind.

Jia Heng, on the other hand, is riding on a tall horse. The young man is wearing a straight green shirt, with a stern face, calm eyes, and a sword in his hand.

At this moment, in a restaurant far away from Ningguo Mansion, he saw the old and young men of the Jia clan below like stars over the moon, greeting a young man. Jia She's face was ashen, and he snorted coldly: "With the success of Xiaozong,

Da Zong, let this kid run rampant for a few more days!"

On the table behind them, two people were sitting drinking. One of them, Niu Jizong, said in a loud voice: "Brother, Cai Quan will be sent to Chang'an County tomorrow."

The other one was in his early thirties, wearing a dark red brocade robe, with a thin and upright face, and a pair of fox eyes under his broken eyebrows. He was Qiu Liang, the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, who said: "Brother, I also have Dong Qian."

Give him a job to patrol the East City, where there is a mixture of good and bad, and there are many gangs, especially the Sanhe Gang, the Little Knife Club, and the King Kong Gang on the dock. Those gangs are the thorns in the trouble. It won't be long before my brother takes advantage of them."

Chang'an, as the capital of the Chen-Han Dynasty, was undoubtedly a large city with a permanent population of several million people. People from the lower classes made a living there, so there was a place for them to live together. The east city was next to the water transport ferry, so there were three religions and nine streams living there.

Among the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, it is the most difficult area to control.

If Dong Qian is on duty there and encounters a gang fight, should he take care of it? If he does so without knowing what he is doing, he will easily offend the wrong people and be plotted against him.

If he didn't do it, Qiu Liang would take Dong Qian's job away from him in the name of being unfavorable in doing so.

Jia She turned around, sat on a chair nearby, and said, "Thank you, dear brother."

Qiu Liang said: "Brother Shi, what you said has gone unnoticed. If this kid hadn't been in the spotlight, I would have wanted to find a few green men, put a bag over his head, beat him, and disfigure him. He will be disfigured for the rest of his life."

It’s over.”

When Jia She heard this, he said, "Xian brother, this method is very good."

Niu Jizong's eyes lit up and he said: "Those officials are very particular about their words and deeds. If they are ruined, no matter how good their reputation is, hehe, he will not be able to become an official. Brother Qiu Liang, you are so good!"

Qiu Liang picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I also learned this from one of my subordinates. One of his moves to go to Beijing to take the exam offended him, so he ordered two rogues to interrupt the meeting.

Lift one leg, now, not to mention the selection of officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, even the imperial examination in the Gongyuan Academy are blocked by the gatekeepers."

Jia She's face was filled with a stern look, and he said, "Brother Xian, do you have any connections?"

Qiu Liang put down the wine cup, waved his hand and said, "Brother, I can't do it now. It's just when this son is famous. When I came out of the Army and Horse Department, the commanders and officials of the Army and Horse Department were all saying that Jia Heng was resigning.

The prince will not accept it."

Niu Jizong also frowned and said angrily: "It will take at least one or two months, no, at least three months. By then, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will have long forgotten about Jia Heng. No matter how we concoct it at that time, it is not our fault!

"

When Jia She heard this, he sneered: "By the way, in a few months there will be the county's second examination. I heard that Jia Heng seems to be taking the imperial examination, so I will break his legs before his eyes and let him take the examination."

If he can't take the test, isn't he saying that he doesn't owe his ancestors any favors, so he gets fame by himself? See how he can get fame after he has become a cripple!"

Hearing this, Qiu Liang nodded and said, "It was almost the same at that time, no one noticed."

Jia She suppressed the resentment in his heart, suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said: "However, this Jia Heng is good at fists and kicks. Brother Xian will have to find some good hands for Brother Yu."

Jia Heng beat Lai Sheng and several servants in the Dong Mansion. Jia She would not have known about it, especially when Jia Heng entered and left the Ning Rong Kingdom with swords, Jia She was also a little wary.

Qiu Liang smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, even if you don't say it, my virtuous brother will still have to give it! Let such a thing occupy the position of the head of the Jia clan, not to mention that your Jia family is uneasy, we, our relatives and friends, will also be upset.

I should be panicking."

Niu Jizong also echoed: "Yes, these people are just trying to lift the curtain, but they are just talking nonsense. They are no different from those whining civil servants!"

Jia She said coldly: "Then let this kid jump around for a few more days!"

As several people talked, they mentioned Jia Zhen again, and the atmosphere gradually became dull.

Qiu Liang looked sad, sighed, and said: "My nephew is in danger this time. There is no possibility of being exiled to Lingnan or to the important towns on the nine sides."

Jia She frowned and said, "Can you think of a way to prevent Brother Zhen from being exiled so far?"

Niu Jizong's copper-bell-sized eyes rolled and he lowered his voice and said, "How about we find someone to replace our nephew?"

This is also routine operation.

Among the four major families, Xue Pan, the Xue family after Ziwei Sheren, beat someone to death and even faked his death. Although Jia Yucun played a major role in this gourd case, we can also get a glimpse of the four kings and eight princes and other warriors.

The daily life of nobles and nobles.

Don't forget, Jia Yucun wrote another letter to Wang Ziteng and the Jia family asking for credit, and then Xue Pan went to Beijing to avoid trouble. These relatives and friends didn't know at all?

Who believes it?

There is only one explanation, and it sucks!

Judicial corruption is often the epitome of corruption in the entire officialdom.

Unfair justice is the greatest social injustice.

Qiu Liang frowned and said: "It would be okay in normal times, but this case has become such a big deal now, and all the officials from above and below are watching. It is not easy to fool. Even if you want to do it, you have to find the right opportunity.

Let my nephew suffer for a few months, and then we can find a way to get him out after the storm is over."

When Jia She heard this, he nodded and whispered: "This is the only way we can go ahead."

Qiu Liang said in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is not to sentence him to death. I heard from the informant of Jingzhao Yamen that Xu Lu wanted to torture his nephew to death and put some old murder cases on his head. Fortunately, his nephew was not stupid.

Yes, he refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death, and Lai Sheng took the initiative to resist all the culpability, so he can’t be sentenced to death at last.”

"The Lai family is an old servant of my Jia family for generations, and they are loyal servants." Jia She's face paused slightly when he heard this, his eye circles were a little red, and he sighed with emotion.

Although the Lai family has lost their slave status, they are still the housekeepers of the Ningrong Mansion of the Jia clan. Lai Sheng is the general manager of the Ningguo Mansion, while Lai Da is in charge of the inner house of the Rongguo Mansion.

Niu Jizong snorted coldly and said: "There is also this Xu Lu! This man only lives for Jing Zhaoyin for one day, and we will not have a happy life. We have to find a way to squeeze him out."

Obviously, the children of Niu Jizong's family had suffered at Xu Lu's expense.

Qiu Liang frowned and said with a solemn expression: "This person is highly valued by the Holy One and is not easy to deal with. We still need to take a long-term approach."

"How about we discuss this with Prince Beijing?" Jia She thought for a while and suggested.

Niu Jizong shook his head, with a look of displeasure on his rough face, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty does not want to care about these things."

When Jia She heard this, he also sighed.

Prince Beijing lacked the courage of his father and was timid in doing things. He had felt this before.

While Jia She and others were discussing secretly, Jia Heng also entered Ningguo Mansion, greeted by Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others.

As for the carriage where Qin Keqing was sitting, no one could get off the carriage and entered the mansion through the corner gate.

Jia Heng walked slowly toward the inner room with Jia Zheng beside him, and said loudly: "Master Zheng, although I have received the grace of the Holy Spirit to offer incense, I have no intention of taking over the leadership of the Jia clan, so the Jia clan has decided to do something else."

He must be a highly respected person."

As he said that, he looked at the white-haired Jia Dairu and Dai Xiu.

Before Jia Heng could speak, Jia Dairu hurriedly said: "Zi Yu is a virtuous person who is considered by both the government and the public. His resignation is widely known throughout the country. Zi Yu will preside over the sacrifice. This is a move that conforms to the people's hearts."

Jia Rui, who was in the queue of jade-born children headed by Jia Lian, paused when he heard this, glanced at the young man in a straight green shirt, and thought to himself, what grandpa said is an exaggeration, right?

That boy clearly looked younger than him.

Jia Heng looked at Jia Qiang again, and Jia Qiang's handsome face turned a little red and she hid behind her.

On the other side of the room, Jia Zheng looked excited and said urgently: "Zi Yu is a virtuous man, and the scholars are in public opinion. Now our Jia clan needs people with both political integrity and talent like Zi Yu to prosper our Jia clan. Zi Yu, don't refuse anymore."

Well, if you refuse again, the whole clan will become frightened and uneasy."

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, feeling that if he continued to refuse, Jia Zheng might not be able to say, "If Ziyu doesn't come out, what will happen to the Naijia clan?"

At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Jia Heng, and I don't know who spoke first: "Uncle Heng, don't refuse anymore."

Then, there were echoes from the old and young men of the Jia clan. Although they were somewhat sparse, they at least formed some momentum.

Jia Heng thought for a while and faced the expectant eyes. At this moment, he had already walked under the plaque in the hall. He turned around and looked at the Jia clan with doubtful, curious or indifferent eyes. He pressed

Pressing the sword on his waist, he said loudly: "In this case, even though Heng is not talented, he has no choice but to do it."
