Chapter 85
After hearing what Wang said, Jia Zhen looked at Jia She, waiting for Jia She to make up her mind.

In fact, this kind of thing is indeed like what Wang said. In fact, few people report it to the officials, especially people like the Jia family, and they all solve it in private.

So Jia Zhen hesitated just now, but Jia Amnesty came from a previous life, and felt that it was too normal for this kind of matter to be investigated by the officials.

Jia She ignored Wang's words and glared at Jia Zhen, "Hurry up and go!"

To tell the truth, Jia Zhen was more afraid of Jia She than Jia Jing. Hearing Jia She's words, she immediately went to Dali Temple.

Wang was secretly worried, and could only comfort herself, the guy who sold the tea had already been sent away by him, and no matter how powerful that surnamed Yuan was, he should not be able to find out.

Jia Zhen went to report the case in person, and it was Jia She's own younger brother who died. Dali Temple also attached great importance to it. Soon Yuan Jie came over with several arresters from Dali Temple.

The members of Jia's family watched Yuan Jie toss and turn at the scene, and even checked the corpse carefully.

Because Yuan Jie and others came, Hou Sulan, Wang's family and other female relatives avoided. Now there are only Jia Zhen, Jia She, and Jia Lian who just came back in the hall.

There was also Jia Mu, who insisted on listening here, but Jia Mu didn't have to avoid suspicion when she was old, so she let her go.

After being busy for a while, Yuan Jie came over to ask Jia Amnesty, and wanted to bring Jia Zheng's body, Hongxiu and her maids to Dali Temple for questioning.

Jia's mother only wanted to find out the truth about Jia Zheng's death, so she immediately agreed. Jia Amnesty refused to say more, for fear that Jia's mother would say something unpleasant in front of outsiders.

But Jia Zhen frowned, "Old lady, I'm afraid it's not good for Aunt Hong to go to that kind of place!"

Jia's mother stared, and said vaguely, "What's wrong, now finding out Zheng'er's death is the most important thing, Zheng'er died in her room, it's irrelevant to see people!"

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia's mother like this, and Yuan Jie promised that he would only take her back for questioning and would not use punishment, so Jia Amnesty agreed.

Of course it would not take a day or two to find out the truth, but Jia Zheng's body couldn't be kept there forever. Although the weather wasn't too hot, it couldn't be kept for too long.

After Yuan Jie thoroughly inspected the body, he sent the body back to Jia's house.

Jia Amnesty was willing to help with Jia Zhu's funeral, but when it was Jia Zheng's turn, Jia Amnesty was not willing.

Fortunately, Jia Zhen was fine now, so Jia She simply asked him to help handle Jia Zheng's funeral. Just as the emperor ordered him to go on a business trip to Jiangnan, he took the opportunity to hide out.

The main reason is that Jia Zheng now has no son. As his closest nephew, Jia Lian wants to help Jia Zheng with his filial piety.

Jia She felt unhappy, but death was the most important thing, and it would be too unkind for him to refuse.

It just so happened that the emperor's filial piety period had passed, and the emperor wanted to clean up those old ministers of the emperor who were ignorant of current affairs.

Among them, the Jiangnan Zhen family was the first to use the knife.

When the emperor wanted to collect debts, the Zhen family complained to the emperor that they were poor, and the emperor asked the emperor to let them go.

But relying on the protection of the Supreme Emperor, the Zhen family didn't take the emperor's words to heart at all, and only paid back 20 taels and nothing happened.

After the death of the Supreme Emperor, the Zhen family was a little panicked. They originally thought that the Supreme Emperor could live for at least a few more years, and the Zhen family could slowly plan their plans.

Unexpectedly, if the Supreme Emperor said no, he would be gone. After the death of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor ordered Zhen Yingjia several times.

The Zhen family also knew that their good times were coming to an end. As the head of the Zhen family, Zhen Yingjia had begged the emperor for mercy.

But the emperor only wanted money, and the money owed by the Zhen family was due to the emperor's southern tour.

Now that the Zhen family has to pay it all back, even the Zhen family can't make up so much money.

In addition, the rest of the Zhen family felt that the emperor might not take action against them. You must know that the old lady Zhen was the emperor's nurse, and was once called the old man of my family by the emperor himself.

If they want to repay their debts, the Zhen family must be thrifty. How could they, who are used to extravagant life, be willing, so the Zhen family dragged their feet like this, thinking that the emperor would spare them in the name of Mrs. Zhen.

But from the emperor's point of view, the Zhen family was too ignorant of current affairs. He had given them such a long time, yet there was no movement at all.

At the beginning, because the Supreme Emperor intervened, apart from the Zhen family, there were several other clans that did not pay back the money.

But these clans are also very knowledgeable. Once the emperor died, the emperor just beat him a little, and these people quickly returned the money.

The emperor didn't know. In fact, these clans all knew what kind of person the emperor was, but they didn't dare to let the emperor catch him as a model.

Those who have not paid back the money now are the Zhen family and Zhongshun, and the rest are poor officials who are really unable to pay back the money.

The emperor is still very tolerant towards these people, but the emperor of the Zhen family is not ready to let them go. As for Zhongshun, it will be his turn once he cleans up the Zhen family.

Once the emperor's filial piety period passed, the emperor couldn't wait any longer, and sent Jia Amnesty to lead troops to Jinling. If the Zhen family didn't pay the money, they would directly ransack the house.

Jia She was sent there mainly because the Zhen family lived in Jinling for a long time, and they were afraid that the Zhen family would jump over the wall in a hurry, so Jia She was asked to lead the troops there directly.

The emperor gave a secret order that if the Zhen family dared to make any move, they would be killed on the spot.

Jia's mother is very dissatisfied with Jia Amnesty's leaving at this time.

"Boss, you have to leave before the truth of your brother's death is found out. I know that you and Zheng'er had some estrangements before, but just that one brother, do you have the heart to see him die with regret?"

Jia She frowned, "Old lady, this is the emperor's wish. The imperial edict has been issued. You want me to resist it."

Ever since Jia Zheng died, Mother Jia shed tears every day, and her spirit was a little out of order. When she heard this, she actually said it directly to Jia Amnesty.

"The emperor himself has no brotherhood, and he won't let you stand up for your brother. This is..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jia She interrupted her loudly.

"Old lady, you are so sad and confused, how dare you say such things!"

Fortunately, Jia She knew that every time he met Jia Mu, there would be some arguments. In order not to spread the news, every time he saw Jia Mu, he sent all the servants away, and Jia Mu only kept mandarin ducks to serve.

However, the last mandarin duck was old and had been released by Jia Mu to marry, and now this is the golden mandarin duck in the original book.

Although she is only in her teens, she has been serving Jia's mother for several years. She does things properly on weekdays, and Jia's mother likes her very much.

So as soon as the last big maid was released, she was brought up to be the big maid.

This girl is indeed quite smart. Although she was very unhappy with Jia She in the original book, now every time Jia Mu and Jia She have a dispute, she will cleverly persuade Jia Mu.

It's not to please Jia Amnesty, this servant girl is indeed loyal, she can see clearly that Jia Mu can only rely on Jia Amnesty in the future, for Jia Mu's good, she shouldn't fight against Jia Amnesty.

Therefore, on weekdays, Yuanyang always speaks kind words about Jia She in a calm manner. Jia's mother has been paralyzed for the past two years and has been unable to move, and Yuanyang has always been by her side.
