dream of red mansion

Among the several crimes listed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate when it participated in the performance, there is only one point that we need to completely refute, and that is the point of accepting bribes, which caused the construction of the Princess Mansion to fail.The Princess Mansion is the palace built by the Supreme Emperor for Princess Xingyue. If there is a problem with the palace, no one can afford this crime.

Fortunately, the master handled things safely and did not give anyone a handle.However, the other party seems to have fabricated witnesses and physical evidence, pointing out that the master's subordinates set up cards to collect bribes during the construction process. This is the most difficult point, because the probability of this actually happening is too high to be guarded against.

As for other crimes such as dereliction of duty and maltreatment of craftsmen, there is not enough evidence. "

Jia Zheng frowned.

Yang Xu was right, it was this that made him feel restless.This morning, the official came out to join him with conclusive words, saying that he indulged slaves, committed murder, threatened and extorted bribes, and he was really frightened.After all, the other party even made it clear who the sufferer was, when, why, who the briber was asking for, and how much bribe he asked for. He could only kneel down and plead guilty.

Fortunately, the most important issue for the imperial court today is the war situation in the northwest. After receiving the memorial, Emperor Zhengqing did not express his position, only saying that this matter will be discussed later.

Therefore, as soon as Jia Zhengcai returned to the mansion, he quickly summoned all the diners to discuss, and after no results, he asked Jia Qing to come over for advice.

Seeing Jia Zheng's look of concern, Yang Xu knew that he had no idea about this matter, so he said: "Master, there is no need to worry too much. Maybe Second Master can help Master solve this matter."

"How?" Jia Zheng asked happily.

"I need to discuss with the second master about the specifics before I can come up with the charter. It is not convenient to tell you at the moment. But the master only needs to remember that there has never been any illegal activity in the construction of the princess mansion. Behavior, even if there is any, is the decision of the officials or servants below, and has nothing to do with the master.

Next, the most important thing for the master is to complete the final project of the Princess Mansion, so as not to leave any talk for others. "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Is Miss Bao in the house?"

Ying'er heard the voices of women talking outside, and when she came out to have a look, she found that some young women in the kitchen had entered Hengwu Garden.

"Sister-in-law Zhao San, what are you doing?"

"It's Miss Ying'er, we're bringing fresh crucian carp soup to the girls."

"How do you send this today?" Ying'er took the fish soup in her hand and asked casually.

"I heard that Miss Lin fell down in Tubi Mountain Villa today and was injured. Because this crucian carp soup is the most nourishing, it is suitable for injured people to drink. The second master loves Miss Lin and specially fished it fresh from the stream. Crucian carp, I asked to make soup and send it to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Sister-in-law Liu saw that the crucian carps brought over were fat and plentiful, and Miss Lin could eat as much as she was so delicate, so she simply cooked them all, and gave each girl a copy, and this one belonged to Miss Bao. "

After hearing this, Ying'er suddenly lost her mind, thanked a few people, and they sent it elsewhere.

After entering the house, Baochai asked, "What did you get?"

Yinger said, "Crusch carp soup."

"Well, let it go..."

Ying'er put down the soup and went to Baochai's side.Baochai was reading a book, looked up at her, then lowered her head and said, "Just say what you want."

Ying'er hesitated for a moment, then said: "Miss, I saw Er Ye carry Miss Lin down the mountain this morning."

Baochai's hand flipping through the book paused, and said, "What's wrong?"

"Girl, do you think Second Master and Miss Lin are too close..."

"They are brothers and sisters, shouldn't they be closer?"

"That's not what I'm talking about. I always feel that the relationship between the second master and Miss Lin... oh, I can't say it well. For example, if they are both brothers and sisters, the fourth girl sits next to the second master, and Miss Lin sits next to the second master. I always feel different when I look at it, and I can’t tell what is different.”

Baochai smiled.This girl of mine has been like this for so many years, and she can't even say a word clearly.If I hadn't been with me for so many years, I'm afraid I wouldn't understand what she wanted to say.

She is worrying about her blindly!

What's different?Because, one is a real sister and the other is a righteous sister, but I feel that the righteous sister is closer than the real sister, that's all.

Even Ying'er can see it, but others can't see it?

"Okay, if you are in a hurry, help me make this gown, what are you talking about here." Baochai took out a piece of embroidery she hadn't done before from the frame, and asked Yinger to do it.

Ying'er sticks out her tongue, sits next to Baochai, and works hard.

In the elegant and chic boudoir, the slim lady is reading a book, and the charming maid is embroidering beside her, forming a typical image of a boudoir lady.

……

Jia Qing and Yang Xu went back to the outer study together in a sedan chair.

He called Lai Sheng and Li Yan, and explained to them what was discussed in Meng Pozhai, and then handed over the matter of collecting the Wu family's dirty evidence to them to arrange.

As the chief steward of the Ningguo Mansion, Lai Sheng is very clear about the big and small matters of the Jia Mansion, and can reasonably mobilize the original relationship network of the Jia Mansion.Li Yan is Jia Qing's confidant, and has the right to mobilize the forces established by Jia Qingxin, including the chariot and horse dealership.Therefore, it is foolproof to leave this matter to the two of them.

It's okay, I can make trouble for them.

At the end, Jia Qing called Lai Sheng to stop.

"What else does the second master want?"

Lai Sheng bent slightly.

"In your family, is the boss in charge or you in charge?"

Lai Sheng was stunned for a moment, he was guessing what Jia Qing meant by asking this question.

"My mother is still here, all important matters in the family, respect my mother's wishes...

But now that my mother is getting older, she doesn't care much about our brother's affairs.Therefore, except for matters related to my mother and the clan, we all make our own decisions.My eldest brother and I also separated more than ten years ago, and now my mother lives with my eldest brother. "

"Hehe, it's good to be separated...

I know, your family also has a Fenghuang son named Shang Rong, right, and now he is also a county magistrate in other places.He is your elder brother's son, so your mother definitely loves your elder brother more than you, and she always faces your elder brother's side in everything.

This is your family business, I shouldn't have to worry about it.I just want to tell you that since ancient times, the dispute between loyalty and filial piety has been the most difficult to achieve both. I hope you will not be confused when the time comes. "

Lai Sheng shivered.He is not a fool, he knows that Jia Qing has long been dissatisfied with his elder brother Yifang, but he has not moved because of Jia's mother's face.Now this is a special reminder for him. Could it be that Jia Qing finally wants to dispose of his elder brother's room?

He thought about it.The eldest brother has always been the arm of the second master in the West Mansion, and he followed Jia Zheng in everything he did outside. Combined with the impeachment of Jia Zheng this time, could it be that the eldest brother has something to do with it?

Jia Qing said: "Why, is there anything you don't understand?"

"No, the old slave understood what the second master said. The second master has trusted the old slave all these years, so the old slave naturally understands how to do things.

Although my mother prefers her eldest brother more, she is also over 70 years old, and has already taken care of herself at home, regardless of outside affairs.Therefore, the old slave only listened to the orders of the second master. "

Jia Qing smiled: "That's good, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and one family cannot tolerate two masters. Sooner or later, your family will have to change to a new principal. I hope that person will be Boss Lai in charge of you.

Liu, Lin, Wu, and Qian have all been looking forward to the position of chief executive of the two prefectures for many years. "
