The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 657 looting the house (3)

After being frightened for a long time, the matter finally came to an end, and everyone was inevitably a little hungry.

Naturally, there was some snacks and tea in Jiamu's room. Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang took them out, respected Jiamu first, and then distributed them to everyone according to their heads. But in this way, what each person got was only two or three yuan. How could it be enough to satisfy the hunger?Li Wan then gave his share to Jia Lan, Mrs. Wang to Jingui, Tanchun to Jia Huan, Wang Xifeng to Jia Cong, and Yuanyang shared what Jia Mu had given her, and shared with Baochan and Ping. Children eat equally.

After everyone had rested, Mother Jia pulled Wang Xifeng and asked in a low voice, "Miss Feng, where is Nanny Li?"

Wang Xifeng also replied in a low voice: "Nurse Li is not mine at all, she is...the person lent to me by the Lord of Langhuan County. I will return her to take care of Brother Xiang and the others."

Jia Mu nodded: "That's fine." Then she closed her eyes and rested her mind.Wang Xifeng sat on the armchair next to her and also took a rest.

The courtyard was quiet again, and Mrs. Wang's low sobs could be heard once or twice.

Jiamu and the others were detained in the room for seven or eight days in a row, and finally came out, but they were transferred to the Prison Temple for detention.Yuanyang and Wang Xifeng spread the blankets brought from home on the floor and asked Jia Mu to sit down.After Jiamu sat down, she asked Jingui to sit down as well.Li Wan, Mrs. Hu and other wives followed Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. You with their heads down and disheveled hair, not even daring to show their faces.

In the past seven or eight days, the Long Guard had apparently received his orders, and he was very polite to these female relatives, not even saying a single serious word.

But who knows what's going on inside the Prison Temple?
After everyone sat down, Mother Jia took out a handful of gold hairpins from her sleeve and asked the jailer, "Brother, please excuse me. I need to ask some news. Where are the people who were imprisoned here?"

Seeing the gold hairpin, those jailers hurriedly stretched out their hands to pick it up, but seeing that there was only one, they frowned and said, "What's the matter, come here, and want to put on the airs of being a master? Tell you, don't It's a dream! Hurry up, obediently take out all the things in your pockets, honor the official, the official can still take care of you, let you go to Huangquan Road, and you can also be a full ghost."

Then he glanced at Yuanyang and Wang Xifeng who showed their faces, as well as Jing Gui and the others behind them with lewd eyes: "Why are these beauties reluctant to show their faces? Don't worry, you guys are used to these things." Yes, I will not wrong you."

Xia Jingui and the others trembled in fright, only Wang Xifeng sneered and spat.

Mother Jia sighed, and was about to speak when suddenly there was an uproar outside.

It was Zhang Heqing, the envoy of Fusi Town in Jinyiweibei Town, who was also Chen Zhao's confidant in the capital.

The high-ranking official of Jinyiwei possesses a majestic and strong momentum that scares the already arrogant jailers into trembling.

Zhang Heqing asked the steward of the Lin Mansion who was traveling with him to distribute the food brought by the people in the Jia Mansion, and did not speak to the jailers, but only said slowly to the official from the Shuntian Mansion who invited him here: "Since you are an official, you should handle it well. If you let I know what's wrong, and I won't let it go easily."

The official was originally serving under the sect of Sun Shaozong, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion, and Zhang Heqing had been in touch with him a lot before, so he naturally knew the other party's methods, so he quickly gave a military salute and promised loudly: "Please don't worry, my lord! I will not disgrace my life as an official!" As he spoke, he gave those jailers a vicious look from the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Heqing didn't say anything else, seeing that the housekeeper of the Lin family had finished dividing up all the things, he nodded with Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng, and said to Jia Huan, "Jia Huan, the Jinyiwei Yamen asked you to take a vacation, not to let you stay here and go to jail! Why didn't you send someone to inform the yamen of this matter? Besides, although you are young, you are still a man, so how decent is it to be with your female relatives?"

Jia Huan's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly half-kneeled to salute: "The bid has disappointed you!"

"Don't be disappointed. You are a member of Jinyiwei, what can you do? Why don't you clean up and take your mother home?" Zhang Heqing scolded with a smile.

When these words came out, everyone was startled, and Aunt Zhao trembled for no reason.

Jia Huan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Go home, which home?"

"You are a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and you will be promoted to deputy thousand households next year. Naturally, Jinyiwei Yamen has your house, why don't you leave?"

"What about my mother?"

"Your mother is a member of Jinyiwei's family, so Jinyiwei's yamen naturally decided to redeem her! I said why are you hesitating here?"

When Zhang Heqing said this, Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao looked at each other before relaxing.

Jia Huan stayed here for the past few days to protect his mother, but he didn't expect Jin Yiwei to have such benefits, so he stopped refusing immediately, dragged his mother out of the prison, and turned around to kowtow to Jia Mu a few times.

Mother Jia sighed, "I didn't expect you to enter Jinyiwei, and there are such good things, Huan'er, you have to worry about things outside, don't forget your second brother Bao."

Jia Huan agreed with tears.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "My lord, I am Jia Huan's mistress..."

Zhang Heqing glanced at Mrs. Wang, and that sharp and indifferent look directly made Mrs. Wang afraid to speak.

Zhang Heqing then sneered a few times, and left with Jia Huan and others.

After the officer waited for Zhang Heqing to go far away, he kicked the guards one by one: "A bunch of idiots!" Then he called the officer in charge to come over and cursed:

"Since you know that the women's relatives are going to be detained here, why don't you quickly replace a few female prison heads, and let these guys stay here? Let me tell you, your recruits should be brighter, so don't offend them. I am so sorry, I am tired of the whole family! What do you look at, you are stupid, you have no hands or feet, you can’t move, can you? It’s not easy, let me change someone? If something goes wrong, the higher-ups will blame it. It's not something you and I can afford."

The guard was scolded obsequiously, and quickly agreed, and immediately pulled the jailers away, and replaced them with a few thick women.The officer and other things have been done safely before he dares to leave.

Mother Jia sighed, patted Wang Xifeng's hand and said, "What did the housekeeper of the Lin family say just now?"

Wang Xifeng said softly: "Returning to the ancestors, Steward Lin said, the master and the others... have all been locked in prison."

Mother Jia nodded: "I expected that too. Well, this matter can't be done easily. With you Uncle Lin here, we won't be too wronged, and the rest will be settled. Jingui is pregnant, and I have to you Work harder with Yuanyang and take care of everyone."

Wang Xifeng agreed in a low voice.

Mrs. Wang sat blankly for a long time, and suddenly asked in a weeping voice: "Did Steward Lin tell you about your mother? She... After her death, is the funeral appropriate?"

Wang Xifeng was slightly taken aback, then shook her head lightly: "Butler Lin didn't say anything."

Mrs. Wang then burst into tears, and finally stopped under the consolation of everyone, sobbing intermittently: "Next time someone comes, you ask, you ask, my Yuan'er, how is my Yuan'er?" It's... woo woo..."

Wang Xifeng sighed, not daring to agree easily.

The next day, an instructor from a hundred families of Jinyiwei came over and took Jia Lan away by name, because Jia Lan's name was in the Jinyiwei Academy.

Jia Lan came out, and Li Wan, as a member of Jin Yiwei's family, naturally also released.

Mrs. Wang called herself Jia Lan's grandmother, so she was naturally a member of Jin Yiwei's family, but Jin Yiwei sneered: "Your name is not in the list of Jia Lan's family members reported."

Mrs. Wang sat down on the ground, unable to make a sound.

In my heart, I only hated Li Wan for being ruthless and Jia Huan for being unfilial, but I couldn't remember how I ignored Li Wan and Aunt Zhao back then.

For more than a month thereafter, the butler of Lin's House delivered food every two days. Through him, Jia Mu and the others more or less learned some outside news:

It turned out that in June of the seventh year of Xiaode, good news came successively from Liaodong and Northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In Liaodong, Marquis Li Changqing of Wuqing defeated the Hesheli tribe, beheaded Zhaohui, the chieftain, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and captured tens of thousands of enemies.

In the Western Regions, the commander Yue Zhongqi also defeated the leader of the Heshuo Te tribe, Luo Bu Zang Danjin, and took advantage of the situation to defeat the Eros.

The emperor was overjoyed, and ordered a bunch of meritorious ministers.

These people have not yet entered Beijing, but the emperor has rebuilt the honorary system.

The former four kings and eight princes became waste, and the emperor naturally pulled out the pustules.

So Emperor Xiaode struck the Jia family with his first sword.

The charges against the Jia family were sparked by the stone nerd's fan, the Yushitai was at full strength, the Ministry of punishment repeatedly raised the case, and finally the emperor made the final decision.

It is said that many of the people who participated in the report were officials and cleanups funded by the Jia family, such as Zhan Guang, Bu Guxiu, Shan Pianren and so on.

Yuan Chun found out and asked the emperor to intercede, but was reprimanded by the emperor. That night, he was overly frightened and died of a sudden illness.According to her status as a fifth-rank Shanggong, she was not allowed to enter the concubine's mausoleum, and the queen made the decision, and she was carried out of the palace to be cremated in the Purification Hall.

After the trial by the third division, Jia She in the Rongguo Mansion was not strict in governing the family and was sentenced to be deprived of his title and confiscated property. Jia Lian did not advise his father and was deprived of his official position.Jia Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion was lucky, because she was lying on the bed and could not move, and Jia Rong also escaped because Jia Zhen was not dead and Jia Rong fulfilled her filial piety, but her family property was confiscated.

This Jia Rong abused Lao Tzu every day, Lao Tzu Jia Zhen did all kinds of ugly things, but in the end Jia Rong was exonerated because he did not die, it is simply speechless.

Hearing these news, all the female family members of Jia's family wept unceasingly, and scolded the white-eyed wolves of those Qingke relatives.

Mrs. Xing felt sore when she thought that all the money she had saved for her whole life was gone, and her life was nowhere to be found, and she had to rely on Wang Xifeng.Youshi and Hushi are even more distressed: they thought that marrying into the Ningguo Mansion would allow them to enjoy prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives, but who knew that they would not be able to live a long and lasting life without blessings.Only Mrs. Wang was better, because she didn't hear anything about Jia Zheng and Baoyu, she was always at ease, but her Yuaner... how could she be buried in the return of eunuchs and maids who have nowhere to go in the Purification Hall? ?Every time she thinks of this, her heart aches unbearably.

But Mrs. Wang's sweet dream didn't last long, and one day an official came to bring her to a trial.

When they arrived at the auditorium, Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng kneeling there. The hall was stunned. One by one, the charges were laid down. Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded: her previous affairs of loan sharking and litigation were found out, but it was nothing. Which housewife doesn’t do this?What's more, their own private house has been stolen, so what do they want to make up for that day's affairs?That's a full 10,000+ taels of silver.But how can the master be charged with several crimes such as exceeding the system, collaborating with the enemy, and not distinguishing between his son and concubine?That's a big money charge. If you want to implicate Baoyu, how can the master be so confused?
Mrs. Wang couldn't believe her ears. In her dazed state, the verdict came down: Jia Zheng and his wife Wang were deprived of fame, pardoned, and exiled to Guangdong to serve as atonement.

Mrs. Wang collapsed to the ground: her whole life was in vain...

Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying on the ground.
