Chapter 453 The fault lies with your father and son!
Rongqing Hall
This time it was Sister Feng's turn to look pale, her hands and feet were cold, and she could hardly breathe.
Even though Jia Lian had an affair with Bao's second daughter-in-law not long ago, there was an irreparable rift in the relationship between the couple, but now that we are shocked to hear the bad news about Jia Lian, we can't help but feel worried about it.
Mother Jia's face changed, and finally she couldn't help it, and said urgently: "Yuanyang help me over, I will go see the angel in the palace."
Jia She and Jia Lian were both involved in the smuggling case. At this moment, Jia's mother also had a bad feeling in her heart and planned to go see the angel in the palace in person.
This is the political acumen of a lady who has been in charge of the prince's family for hundreds of years and has not yet completely degraded.
Yuanyang responded, then, together with the maids such as Amber, Jade, and the ladies from Lin Zhixiao's family, they supported Jia Mu and left the Rongqing Hall.
At this time, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were worried about the safety of Jia Zheng and Jia She, and they also walked towards Rongxi Hall. Aunt Xue could not stay where she was, so she could only say a few words to Baochai.
Go with Mrs. Wang.
Because first of all, she is the wife of Gaoming, and secondly, she is old and not as good as a young daughter-in-law. Even if a girl meets a middle official or an internal prisoner, she does not need to avoid taboos.
Xiangyun Pingguo's round face showed concern. He took Yuan Chun's hand and asked, "Sister, let's go take a look too."
Yuanchun was actually a little worried about the situation ahead, but when he saw a group of sisters, big and small, he hesitated and said: "There are all internal prisons outside at the moment, Fanzi, let's go there like this..."
Tan Chun said in a pretty voice: "Sister, let's go to the back hall and see where we can see and listen through the curtain."
Yuan Chun nodded and agreed.
In an instant, Chadai, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, and even Xing Xiuyan got up, led the maids in their respective rooms, and a group of orioles and swallows, and headed towards the back hall of Rongxi Hall.
It was almost noon, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the wind and rain were getting stronger, and in the courtyard, the rain curtain was like a curtain of fog.
In the Rongxi Hall, because there were factory guards and guards outside, there were no candles lit inside, so the view was slightly dim.
Dai Quan was still waiting for Jia Zheng to send his servants to call Jia Lian, so he had free time to sit on the sixteen golden nanmu chairs lined up in the Rongxi Hall, picked up the tea cup beside him, and took a sip with his head down.
This is an old tea from last year. It has a slightly astringent taste, which the Minister of the Ming Dynasty could taste immediately.
At that time, the Chinese New Year had just passed and there was no new tea.
Dai Quan raised his slender eyes and glanced at Jia She, who was being held up by several big and round men, with a slumped face and a dejected look.
The case of smuggling and trafficking is already known to everyone, and it is impossible to argue with it.
Jia Zheng, who was standing by, did not dare to sit down. His elegant face was full of depression, and he lowered his head and asked, "Eunuch, I don't know what the circumstances are that lead to questioning my brother at the court meeting?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Quan put down the bowl and tea cup with a "click" sound, and a smile appeared on his fair face. It was just because the sky was dim and there were no candles lit in the Rongxi Hall, half of his face was hidden in the dark shadow.
There is something vaguely scary about it: "If someone else asks, we won't be able to tell, but since it's an old gentleman asking, let me tell you in detail."
"Please give me some advice, father-in-law." Jia Zheng looked respectful, cupped his hands, and said urgently.
Jia She, who was on the side, also raised his head slightly at this time, listening carefully, trying to find a possible turning point.
Dai Quan said: "Today at the court meeting and the cabinet, six ministries and nine ministers successively reported to the court. Unexpectedly, Prince Zhongshun suddenly impeached General Shenwei. He colluded with Cui Ling, the military envoy of Ping'an Prefecture, for smuggling and smuggling. At this time, the ministers were in an uproar and discussed things.
It is boiling. The officials and cabinet ministers must strictly punish Jia Enhou's crimes and uphold the national law! Some people even impeached Jia Ziyu. He was the governor of Jinyi and could not restrain his tribe and inspect his evil. Some people may speculate that,
The two branches of Ningrong and Ningrong in your mansion have long been colluding and colluding with each other, and the Holy One is very angry."
Jia Zheng's expression changed, and his heart thumped. His original concern for Jia She's suffering was replaced by concern for Jia Heng.
This is not because the love between brothers is inferior to the friendship between the same clans, but once something happens to Jia Heng, the Jia family will truly fall apart.
Jia Zheng said anxiously: "This is nonsense. How long has Ziyu been in charge of Dongfu? How can he know about his brother's evil deeds?"
Jia She: "???"
What are those evil deeds of his?
Dai Quan cupped his hands in the direction of the Daming Palace and said: "Fortunately, the Holy Candle illuminates thousands of miles and did not listen to some nonsense."
In fact, even though he was King Zhongshun, he never believed that Jia Heng would get involved with Jia She and his ilk, but instead tried his best to frame him.
Yang Guochang criticized it from the section on the administration of Jinyi Mansion.
Otherwise, the deputy envoy of Jingying Jiedu and the governor of Jinyi would collude with Jia Shehang in order to profit from smuggling?
It would be more credible to accuse him of treason.
After hearing what Dai Quan said, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a servant entered the Rongxi Hall and announced: "Master, old lady, eldest lady, madam is here."
Upon hearing this, Dai Quan's face straightened, he stood up and looked outside.
After all, Jia's mother is the wife of Rongguo. Even if the emperor sees her, she will show her respect for the elderly and love her elders. Of course, the prerequisite is that there are people in the Jia family in the court.
He is an angel. He only needs to stand up to show respect for the elderly. There is no need to exclude him.
When Jia Zheng heard that Jia Mu was coming, his face changed slightly and he went out to welcome her.
At this time, Jia Mu was already walking tremblingly under the eaves of the corridor with the support of Yuanyang, Hubo and other maids.
At that time, the sky was gray, and the spring rain seemed to be falling more and more intensely. Fine rainwater accumulated on the rockeries, rock pits, and tree branches in the courtyard. As for the soil, it was already moist. The spring rain in early February, accompanied by the breeze,
A biting cold feeling hit the hearts of Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and others.
Jia Mu crossed the threshold and entered the main hall of Rongxi Hall. At first glance, she was attracted by Jia She, who was supported by several fans. Her old body was shaken and her face turned pale.
In the original work of Red Mansions, even if it is a historian, the Jia family was confiscated after the death of Jia's mother.
Mother Jia is now in the place where Duke Xiao Rong convened the generals for a meeting. She sees her eldest son being detained like a prisoner. Can you imagine her mood?
"Mother, my son is unfilial. Even in his sixties, my mother is still frightened by this." Jia Zheng looked sad and hurried forward to greet Jia Mu and help her.
At this time, Dai Quan looked at the silver-haired old woman, who had undergone plastic surgery to reduce her appearance, and said: "Mrs. Rongguo, the Holy Father has decreed that the mighty general Jia She violated the laws of the country and smuggled goods to the border. Today, at the court meeting, this case was reported
"Fa, the Holy Lord Long Yan is furious, and all the officials are furious. He orders our family to arrest General Shenwei and interrogate the reason. I hope your government will cooperate."
This is an explanation.
Hearing this, Jia Mu turned to look at Dai Quan and asked, "This father-in-law, does he have any evidence?"
After all, she is Mrs. Rongguo. She is in the Hall of Rongxi at this moment. She may be receiving the "attention" from the two princes. She feels confident and asks loudly.
Dai Quan smiled and said, "Since the Holy One ordered us to be arrested and interrogated, there is evidence. However, it is a matter of confidentiality. If the Madam wants to inquire, she can go to the palace to see the Holy One."
Jia Mu was silent for a while.
Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's faces are a bit ugly.
Dai Quan's tone at this moment was still somewhat rude.
Dai Quan glanced at the sky and asked, "It's already late now. Why haven't you found the second master Lian of your mansion?"
Jia Zheng went to ask the boy beside him.
At this moment, a boy came in and reported: "Master, the second master is not in the courtyard."
Jia Zheng looked anxious and asked, "Have you looked elsewhere? Where is the boy next to him?"
Not long after, another boy came in and said, "Zhao'er said that the second master bought a private house in Baihua Hutong and sent people to look for it."
After a while, a servant from outside came in and reported: "Second Master, Second Master is here."
Everyone looked around and saw that Jia Lian was dressed in blue cloth, the clothes were messy, and there were red lip marks on his neck and face.
Jia Zheng just frowned.
Sister Feng felt a pain in her heart, and her originally pale face became more and more fragile. How could she not know that Jia Lian had just come out of the pile of makeup and powder?
At this moment, Jia Lian's formerly white and rosy face, which looked like a peach blossom, was now as pale as paper. His passionate peach blossom eyes were slightly drooped in panic. He was being supported by two servants, and his calves were spinning.
Just now, Jia Lian was still living in his private house, sleeping with two girls from the Cuihong Mansion in his arms, when he saw Zhao'er hurriedly came in and said that the second master was calling. After that, he heard that the angel in the palace was arresting him. He was so frightened that he did not dare to escape.
"Ancestor, second master."
Jia Lian entered the main hall, gathered his thoughts, and bowed to Jia Zheng and Jia's mother. His face was pale, and he stood beside Jia She, with his eyebrows lowered.
"Brother Lian, why did you do such a thing that violated the law?" Jia Zheng asked.
Jia Lian glanced at Jia She, secretly wiped the rouge on his face with his sleeve, and whispered: "I dare not disobey my father's assignment."
Jia She: "..."
When Jia Mu heard this, she glanced at Jia She again, raised her eyes to Rongxi Hall, and felt a sense of sadness coming to her heart for no reason.
At such an old age, when I see my unworthy children and grandchildren, I feel sore in front of my eyes. With my eyes blurred by tears, I seem to see my father-in-law doing good deeds, smiling and smiling on the chair, and crying in my heart, "This is all my fault."
What kind of evil is it that gives birth to these careless evil obstacles?"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng's body trembled slightly, he felt like his heart was being twisted, and he felt ashamed. He knelt down with a "pop", tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed: "Mother, everything is my son's fault."
Seeing this scene, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing also persuaded Jia Mu.
The servants brought by Jia Zheng also came close to help Jia Zheng.
Dai Quan watched this scene with cold eyes and said nothing.
Jia Mu cried for a while, took a handkerchief, looked at Jia She who was aside, and said, "You have done such a disaster, what should you do?"
At this time, Jia She raised his head and looked at Jia's mother. He was filled with fear and said urgently: "Mother, please let Brother Heng go to the palace to ask for God's grace."
Jia Mu: "..."
I was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, in the back hall, Yuanchun, Yingchun and others were listening to the debate in the main hall of Rongxi Hall through the wall. Looking at each other, they could see the sadness and solemnity on each other's faces.
Here, Xiangyun stretched out her little hand, parted the beaded curtain, and peeked inside. Tanchun on one side was on the other side, with a gloomy look in his charming eyes.
I don’t know where Brother Heng is now.
Daiyu's eyebrows were furrowed, and she felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Jia Mu weeping. Her eye circles were slightly red, and Zicuckoo handed Daiyu a handkerchief.
Xing Xiuyan also saw it on his face. He looked at Yingchun who was standing aside. Yingchun pursed her pink lips and had no expression on her face.
Jia's mother stopped crying and asked, "My father-in-law, I don't know what the punishment will be for an unfilial son who has violated the law of the country?"
"Smuggling, it turns out..." Dai Quan was about to speak.
At this moment, a servant from outside suddenly came in. Perhaps affected by the gloomy atmosphere, or perhaps seeing the crowds of people, his voice became a little lower.
"Uncle Heng is back."
However, as soon as these words came out, everyone in Rongxi Hall was shocked.
Jia Mu turned to look at Jia Zheng and said, "Brother Heng, where is he?"
At this moment, not only Jia Mu, but also inside and outside the Rongxi Hall, including Yuan Chun and others in the back hall, all felt a little relieved. The atmosphere that had just been extremely oppressive relaxed at this moment.
Dai Quan's expression paused, but he no longer mentioned Jia She's possible proposal.
If he had interceded, he would not have been jailed or even sentenced to death, nor would he have been stripped of his title.
But as far as he understood, the two houses of Rong Ning and Rong Ning were at odds with each other, and there was a dispute caused by the resignation. How could it be possible now that Jia Ziyu was expected to spend a lot of his family members for Jia She?
Not long after, Jia Zheng came out of Rongxi Hall and stood under the eaves of the corridor waiting.
Outside the Rongxi Hall, a young man wearing a python suit, a jade belt around his waist, and a sword hanging appeared in everyone's sight. Behind him, there were thousands and hundreds of people from Jinyi Mansion wearing flying fish suits. There were about ten people in them.
Holding an umbrella.
On the side, Qu Lang, the governor of Jinyi Mansion's North Town Fusi, was half a step behind to hold an umbrella for the young man in the python suit. Even though half of his body fell outside and his clothes were all wet, he still didn't realize it.
It turned out that Jia Heng went out of the palace garden after asking questions in the inner study of the Daming Palace, and met up with Qu Lang, the fushi envoy of Fusi Town, Beizhen, who was waiting outside the Anshun Gate as his retinue, and returned to Ningguo Mansion with his retinue.
He actually didn't want to go back, but just wanted to go back to Jinyi Mansion to sit in the Yamen and take a break.
But then I thought about it. At this time, Rong Ning's second house was already in a state of panic. He needed to go back to deal with the aftermath, and he also had to communicate with Dai Quan about the Shanxi merchants.
Mother Jia and Aunt Xue looked at the young man coming slowly under the royal guards, and felt an indescribable feeling welling up in their hearts.
At this moment, the gloomy sky, the thousands of rain curtains, the umbrellas held up, the guards in flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives, surrounded by the young man in python suit with a cold face, seemed like
A picture that is imprinted on everyone's mind and is unforgettable.
In the back hall, Shi Xiangyun caught a glimpse of Shi Xiangyun through the bead curtain screen, with a look of confusion on his baby-fat face.
Chai Dai, Yuan Chun, Tan Chun and Ying Chun almost held their breath and looked at the young man.
Xing Xiuyan also raised Yun Lan Chuxiu's eyebrows, her eyes dim and focused.
"Brother Heng." Mother Jia crossed the threshold with Yuanyang's support, walked to the eaves of the corridor, and looked at the young man expectantly.
Dai Quan also left Rongqing Hall at this moment, chuckled lightly, and called: "Jia Ziyu."
Jia Heng nodded to Jia Mu first, without saying much, but looked at Dai Quan.
Dai Quan said: "Zi Yu, I think you understand what the Holy One means. Now that Jia She and his son have been brought to justice, they need to go to the internal police station for interrogation. Our family must not neglect the oral instructions."
Before Jia Heng could say anything, Jia She's expression suddenly changed, he held his neck and said urgently: "Brother Heng, I am a nobleman of the Rongguo..."
"In the Hall of Rongxi, the two ancestors of Rongguo are here, and you still have the nerve to call Rongguo!" Jia Heng shouted, interrupting Jia She's words.
Mother Jia was listening on the side, her heart was shaken, she seemed to have thought of something important, she looked at Jia Heng blankly, but stopped talking.
Jia Heng entered the Rongqing Hall, glanced at Jia She and Jia Lian, and said coldly: "If the title of Rongguo is lost because of this, the fault lies with you and your son! Even if you and your son go to Jiuquan, how can you have the face to meet me?"
Lord Rongguo!"
Jia Mu's eyesight went dark, and she felt like the world was spinning.
Is Rongguo going to lose his title?
How is she going to meet the two Rongguo Dukes?
no……
Jia Heng turned to look at Dai Quan and said, "Eunuch Dai, take away Jia She and his son."
His move was to show his attitude and stop Jia Mu's talk in advance. He would not save Jia She and the others, but the title could still be discussed.
Although Jia Mu may not be able to think about it for a while, or may feel that he is unkind, but once the Jia She incident is over and Jia Zheng is promoted, Jia Mu's complaining thoughts will disappear, and "Qingwen Song" will be released as it should.
Dai Quan didn't say much. He winked at the crowd of servants and dragged Jia She and Jia Lian outside.
"Mother," Jia She's face turned earthy at this time, struggling violently, looking at Jia Mu, praying.
"Ancestor, save me!" Jia Lian's complexion changed drastically and he called loudly. Suddenly he saw Sister Feng beside him and called out in a low voice: "Feng'er..."
When Sister Feng heard this call, she couldn't say a word. She couldn't bear to turn her face away. She didn't know when she was bursting into tears.
