Zhen Yingjia was ordered to go to Beijing to plead guilty. Lin Hai understood that this was a hint from the emperor, and he could do it. Otherwise, even in the face of Mrs. Fengsheng, Lin Ruijin's matter is not worth letting a The officials of the imperial court are so laborious.

After hearing the imperial decree, Mrs. Fengsheng regretted that she should not be angry for a while and hurt her son, but Zhen Yingjia sighed: "Mother, this time I have to trouble you to go back and forth with my son. If there is something wrong, you are welcome." Save the roots of our family."

Zhen Yingjia took his mother, wife and son Zhen Baoyu to Beijing, looked at his study, Zhen Yingjia sighed, he knew that the Zhen family was over, because when he received the imperial edict, he realized that something was wrong.

When he opened the hidden compartment of the bookshelf again and saw that it was empty, he closed his eyes, knowing that the situation was over, and he was afraid that his house was surrounded by royal guards and hidden guards.

He directly merged the family's cash and some inconspicuous things into the old lady's private room. He knew that with the old lady's face, the emperor should let the old lady go in order to show it to the world, and then give it to Zhen Leave the roots at home.

If the old lady's private house can't be kept, then the Zhen family will be completely ruined, but as long as the old lady can keep Baoyu, those small things can give the Zhen family hope to rise again.

Mrs. Fengsheng said bitterly: "Sure enough, being with a king is like being with a tiger!" But the old lady didn't dare to complain too much, she was not sure who was the emperor's eyes and ears nowadays.

Compared with her son Zhen Yingjia, Mrs. Fengsheng knew Kangxi better. She knew that if she went this time, her family might be in danger, but she was not willing to confiscate all the family property.

She felt that these were the compensations that Kangxi owed to their Zhen family, and it was also given by Kangxi to their family by default. Why did they turn their faces and deny people now?

These things should belong to her precious jade, she doesn't want her precious jade brought up by gold and jade, and finally can only live in poverty and desperation in the world.

So, she brought a lot of gold and silver, and almost emptied the warehouse in the mansion, and then ordered her confidants to go to the homes of her relatives.

The reason is to return the silver taels lent to me by several families in the past. This matter is actually a few of them. wait.

On the surface, it is true. For the sake of the old relatives, lending the other party's silver taels is not worthwhile. In essence, it is leaving a spare silver tael for their own descendants. The families that receive the money will also issue IOUs, etc. Once the other party is in trouble, it is better to use the IOU to recover the owed money.

But this time, Mrs. Fengsheng brought far more than the other party kept in her place, and told her confidantes to remember to collect the new IOUs, and then removed the slave status of the confidants, so that people could temporarily hibernate.

Here, there are the most things to be sent to Jia's house, and Mrs. Fengsheng and Mrs. Zhen went there in person, but the things here are actually the kind of eye-catching items that are bestowed by the emperor and not easy to get rid of.

In fact, this is Madam Fengsheng's revenge. In her eyes, the reason why her family has fallen to such a state is because of Jia's in-laws, the Lin family.

Why can the Jia family sit back and relax after the incident, but their own family will be destroyed?Since my own family can't get well, then your Jia family can't even think about staying out of it. Even if I die, I have to tear you down!

Relying on his status as the dethroned envoy, Lin Hai ordered the admiral of Liangjiang and the prefect of Jinling to cooperate with him, and completely sealed off the Jinling mansion, only allowed to enter but not to leave. .

The Zhen family collapsed like this, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and many people attached to the Zhen family were arrested. Everyone in Jinling is in danger. After all, it is an exaggeration. If the Zhen family does not nod, you want to stand in Jinling. That is dreaming!

No one thought that the Zhen family, who was like a local emperor, would collapse if he said so. However, Lin Hai was just deposed as an envoy, and it was not within his right to confiscate the house. After the emperor's trial, he can only do it after he has issued an imperial decree to confiscate the house.

Seeing this, the people who had been deeply involved with the Zhen family saw a little hope again, and even the Jia family always stood up for these people and came to Lin Hai.

Lin Hai, who was looking at the people's seals to prevent the people present from taking the opportunity to hide stolen goods, saw someone coming, so he asked who it was.

The old Jia family pointed at Lin Hai and said, "Lin Ruhai, if you avenge your son publicly and privately, you are not afraid that the emperor will deal with you after he finds out. Do you think that no one will know your evil deeds after you sealed off Jinling City?"

"Under the law of heaven, there is no impenetrable wall. The censor hears the wind, and as a relative, I kindly advise you, don't do anything, and leave yourself some way out!"

Lin Hai flicked the invisible dust on his sleeves, walked up to the man with square steps, and pinched the man's chin with his hands on the handkerchief with a sneer: "The censor heard the wind? You're afraid you forgot about this man. Is it okay to be an official?"

He acted like a villain, but he was weird. When Lin Hai was upright, no one was afraid of him, but he didn't behave like a good person, so no one dared to beep.

Lin Hai continued: "I am appointed by Long Live Lord to inspect the salt censor. This censor platform is my headquarters. Tell me, who is going to sue me?"

He took out a folding fan from his sleeve and didn't open it. Lin Hai directly picked up his chin with the fan and looked carefully: "Also, relatives? The five generations of my official ancestors have only passed on. Where did you come from such a big relative, huh?"

The man dripped sweat down his cheeks, and stammered, "We, we are from the Jia family, from the Jia family, and Miss Min from our family married you."

Lin Hai sneered, waved his hand and said, "Pretend to be a relative of the court official, obstruct the case, arrest me and put him in prison!" His disrespectful appearance really scared everyone.

Seeing that person kept shouting for grievances, Lin Hai kindly explained: "Since that's the case, I would like to let you understand that I have two brothers and sisters, but they have already separated from each other. Brother, we only establish a single sect with the Dizhi branch of the Ningguo Mansion in the capital."

"The other house, Jia Zheng, has become the trusted patriarch of the remaining Jia family members. Before that, the emperor personally decided to cut off the relatives and never see each other. You said you are a relative of the official, are you pretending to be false?"

After killing chickens and monkeys like this, the surroundings were silent. It was obvious that he was a man who didn't get in, and his relatives didn't recognize him, but the rumors that he was patrolling Yan Yushi in private to avenge his son and brought down the Zhen family became more and more widespread.

Lin Hai didn't stop him either, as long as the rumor spread, at least some people would know that standing behind his son was the father of a feudal official, and if he wanted to touch him, he had to be prepared to be retaliated by the Lin family.

Moreover, he was not afraid of what the emperor and the others would think if they knew the rumors. After all, he was standing up for the emperor. Even if he knew that he was suspected of standing up for his son, it would only make the royal family feel more at ease.

The emperor is not afraid that you have any selfishness, on the contrary, he is most afraid that you will be completely selfless, because if you have no desires, you will be strong. In this way, the emperor knows that children are his weakness, and for his own peace of mind, he will do his best to his children.

Lin Hai ordered people to hand over the Zhen family's property to several slaves who were not slaves, and gave it to each family, and how much was given, and wrote a note and sent it directly to the emperor.

Except for the slave status, these people are free. As long as it is not the crime of copying their homes, their property cannot be moved. The Zhen family took advantage of this loophole and said that these things are the wealth these people have accumulated over the years of serving their masters. , the master missed the old days, so he took them away.

This is illogical, but it is legal. My Zhen family is generous to the slaves and is willing to spend all their wealth to show compassion to the old slaves in the family. What's wrong with being a master and servant?

As for the subsequent transfer of their money and things to the historians and other households, who are related to the stewards of these households, they let them go so as not to keep their own family property, can you control it?

When Mrs. Fengsheng did this, she didn't discuss it with Zhen Yingjia, because Zhen Yingjia was busy going to Beijing at that time, and she also felt that what she did was not illegal, so she didn't say anything.

So, when stopping on the road, Zhen Yingjia looked at the capital city that was getting closer, and at the Jinling City that was getting farther away, and sighed: "I don't know how many of our Zhen family can escape this time."

Mrs. Fengsheng asked the little girl to beat her waist and legs and said: "It depends on their good fortune, but everything that should be left for Baoyu has been left. As long as Baoyu turns over in the future, the Zhen family will still be the Zhen family."

Zhen Yingjia's eyelids twitched wildly, and she asked Mrs. Fengsheng with wide eyes, "Mother, what did you do?"

Mrs. Fengsheng dismissed the waiters, and while warming up the fire, she told Zhen Yingjia what she had done through the crackling of the fire.

Zhen Yingjia only felt that her whole body was bitingly cold, it was really cold in her bones, she looked up to the sky and laughed until tears came out, and then said: "Everything is said, Xiao He defeated Xiao He, the ancients did not deceive me!"

Mrs. Fengsheng was terrified by her son's appearance, Zhen Yingjia wiped away tears and said: "Mother, after you go to the capital, after your son goes to prison, you don't have to think about anything else, just use all your favors to remove Baoyu from the family, and let him adopt him." , Let him take the money we carry with us, and don't remember the Zhen family in the future."

Hearing this, Mrs. Fengsheng was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Why did my son say that suddenly?" They all knew that Zhen Yingjia would definitely not survive this time, but before, Zhen Yingjia was definitely not so depressed because he still treated Zhen Yingjia like this. Baoyu has some confidence in revitalizing the Zhen family.

Zhen Yingjia smiled wryly: "Mother, what you're doing at this time is to provoke the emperor again, so that the last bit of affection from the emperor will dissipate."

When Mrs. Fengsheng heard this, she sighed and said, "My son was worried about this. Except for the matter of slave status, those slaves don't know about it. It's our confidantes who are doing it. I let them suppress this matter."

"By the time the emperor knows, my son has already left. No matter how unwilling the emperor is, he can't embarrass me, an old woman. Let Baoyu go into hibernation first. With these things in the future, we will definitely be able to make a comeback."

When she said that her son was about to die, even Mrs. Fengsheng, who had experienced a lot, couldn't help but start to choke up, but she knew that only when her son was arrested voluntarily, could the Zhen family survive.

Zhen Yingjia said sadly: "Mother has forgotten about Lin Ruhai from the Lin family. It would be fine if we didn't touch the little boy of the Lin family. Now that we touch his son, he probably hates our Zhen family to death. He has been watching us long ago, right? "

"Such a handle, you say, if we change our family and face a feud, will we let each other go? It must be taking advantage of your illness to kill you. The Lin family will never give the Zhen family a chance to come back."

Mrs. Fengsheng cried: "What feud? I and his Yue's family are still relatives, and the friction between each other is nothing more than the children of the family. I just can't get angry. Let someone teach me a lesson."

"After hitting the board a few times, why is it that the Lin family is so precious? As for the Lin family leaving no room for my Zhen family to be ruined, if he is like this, will anyone dare to associate with his Lin family in the future?"

Zhen Yingjia smiled bitterly, picked up the wine bag and raised her neck and drank it fiercely. Mrs. Fengsheng didn't try to persuade her to drink and hurt her body. Now that she is drunk today, she might lose her head tomorrow. Who cares whether it hurts her body or not.

The couple were crying at each other in the wilderness, and Zhen Baoyu and Mrs. Zhen in the carriage were also weeping and crying. At this time, Zhen Baoyu seemed to have grown up a lot overnight, and she was silent, and her previous problems were gone. Only quietly leaning against the mother.

After a while, Zhen Yingjia remembered to answer her mother's words: "Others may not be so precious, but the children of the Lin family are absolutely precious, and Lin Ruhai is the way to be a lonely and capable minister."

Mrs. Fengsheng was silent for a while, then suddenly burst into tears, hugged Zhen Yingjia and said, "My son, it was my old lady who completely cut off the Zhen family's livelihood!"

Then, Mrs. Fengsheng said again: "My son, don't be afraid that on the road to Huangquan, if mother is with you, those little ghosts will not bully you."

Zhen Baoyu jumped down from the carriage and said: "Grandmother, father, don't be sad, our family, we are all over there, and we are reunited. Baoyu can't do without father and grandmother."

Zhen Yingjia hugged her precious egg, it was so rare no matter how she looked at it, especially knowing that she was like a woman who hugged her son for a long time and refused to let go.

At this time, Mrs. Zhen also got out of the carriage, and said in a warm voice: "Baoyu, mother will accompany your father to see there first, and you must promise mother to take good care of your grandmother."

"Mother and your father are used to being rich. If there is no one to support them, I am afraid that life will be worse than death. My son is filial. When the time comes, I will send more money to my parents so that they can live there. Well done."

Zhen Yingjia also ignored the gazes of outsiders, hugged his wife directly and said softly: "Madam, I have wronged Madam all these years, if there is another life, my husband will treat Madam well and not let Madam be wronged."

"My husband also knows that the reason Madam dislikes Mrs. Lin is because of Lin Ruhai's love for his wife. If there is an afterlife, we can still be husband and wife again. As a husband, maybe you will be a couple for the rest of your life."

Madam Zhen wiped away her tears, and said with a raised corner of her mouth, "Husband, your words are enough."
