The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

Fearing that Wang Ren would chase him out of the city gate, the four of them rode their horses towards Guangxi again, wearing stars and moons all the way, and when they arrived on the ground in Guangxi, Jia Lian's face was clear and pale, and he had lost some of his makeup, but he also appeared resolute.

According to Li Rui's instructions, the four of them first found Zhou Shaoliang, the advisor of Kuang Yanbing, governor of Guangxi, at dusk one day. Zhou Shaoliang saw Jia Lian and his party rushing here, and after hearing their intentions, he immediately led Jia Lian to the Governor's Mansion of Guangxi. .

The Guangxi Governor's Mansion was built less than a year ago, and it is brand new everywhere. The garden is full of green trees and the trees are thin, and it does not have the grand atmosphere of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.

Jia Lian remembered that Lin Ruhai said that the governor of Guangxi was deliberately set up by the present to divide the power of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi from the emperor's cronies. In his heart, he only felt that Lin Ruhai asked him to come to find Kuang Yan Bing. He, Li Rui, and Lin Ruhai are quite respectful, so he may not not listen to what they say; second, only a person of this status, who escaped a catastrophe after being helped by him, will receive the nomination certificate from Jia Lian today.

So when he entered the yamen Nuan Pavilion that still smelled of paint, Jia Lian sent letters and posts from Xu Zhi'an, Li Rui, and Lin Ruhai before meeting Kuang Yanbing, and then bowed down while looking at Kuang Yanbing.

I saw that Kuang Yanbing was over forty-five, his face was upright but his face was white and beardless, his round body was bound under the official robe, although he didn't smile, he already made people think he was an amiable person.

Kuang Yanbing didn't read the letter first, and hurriedly supported Jia Lian, took his hand and sat down on the chair in the Warm Pavilion, even though he didn't need it, he still took his hand to caress his chin, and said with a smile: "Second Master Lian came here on a special trip to be wronged." Yes." After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the celebrity brought a basin to wash Jia Lian's hands, bought food and drinks, and then went to read the letter from Xu Zhi'an and the other three. They were smiling, but now they stopped laughing after reading the letter.

"My lord, that Prince Yizhong, old Qiansui, is such a life-saving person. If he wants to 'sacrifice his life for righteousness', he will definitely not be aimless. It must be the one above who ordered him to slander the lords. The lord will be sent to the capital for impeachment in two days." Prince Loyalty's booklet must never be sent." Zhou Shaoliang stood behind Kuang Yanbing with good intentions.

Kuang Yanbing tightly pressed his thin lips that were almost bloodless, carefully read and read the letters and posts of the three people, and asked Jia Lian again and again: "Is there really something weird about Prince Yizhong's residence?" He was ordered to send the impeachment of Prince Yizhong to the capital in time, if he didn't send it and disrupted the current grand plan, what crime should he be?

Jia Lian said with a smile: "There are many strange things, but they are too trivial. No one will believe what my uncle said to the present and other colleagues. It is just that Jia Jianing's mansion has a lot of contacts with Prince Yizhong, and he prefers his family to marry a daughter-in-law. In Prince Yizhong's mansion, no one was sent to congratulate him, as if he wanted to avoid suspicion; moreover, in Prince Yizhong's mansion, the old lady who had served the old concubine for decades was recommended by the old dowager to go to the royal family. The nanny taught the girls of the Xue family in Xue's house; Prince Yizhong was in good health and never mentioned the matter of the big coffin, but he hurriedly built his own coffin and placed it at home in a hurry. If Prince Yizhong There is nothing wrong with preparing a coffin when you are old; but at this juncture, you can't take it lightly. Why is Prince Yizhong so sure that he is qualified to lie in that masonry coffin? Besides, there are many trivial flaws. "

Kuang Yanbing saw that Jia Lian was not completely sure, but only relied on the clues to conclude that there was something weird in Prince Dingzhong's residence, thinking that if he believed him completely, if he made a mistake, wouldn't it delay his dedication to the present?If he didn't believe it, if he guessed right, wouldn't he have fallen into the trick of Prince Yizhong?Originally, he, the governor of Guangxi, was separated from the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

"Brother Lian, take my brochure and go back to Beijing, and see how the situation in Beijing is, and then present the brochure for me." Kuang Yanbing said to Jia Lian amiably after a little bit of distress.

With letters from Xu Zhi'an, Li Rui, and Lin Ruhai, he naturally trusted Jia Lian.What's more, if he submits the paper according to the rules and passes by the post station, maybe the post station will ambush people early in the morning, telling him to repent halfway and asking for the paper back will not work.

Jia Lian quickly agreed, ate some food and wine, and rested for two days. Seeing that another official from another place came to urge Kuang Yanbing to go to Beijing together to deliver the booklet, Kuang Yanbing was the lobbyist, and told five emperors, big and small, on the ground in Guangxi. The department officials collected all the papers on the impeachment of Prince Yizhong, and because they were anxiously waiting to see what happened in the capital, they rushed to the capital day and night, traveling all the way, and arrived outside the capital in late October. The people outside the city seemed to be afraid of the mystery. When they entered the city again, they saw that although there were still people doing business on the street, from time to time there were Jin Yiwei escorting a group of official family members who were still wearing brocade and gold hairpins on the street. Swagger on the market.

"Second Master, this matter has already been sent out." Cao Zhijian was so tired that his skin almost fell off. The faces of the three brothers were all black and yellow, and their faces were full of exhaustion.

Jia Lian pursed his lips and didn't ask questions on the road. He took Kuang Yanbing and others' booklets all the way to Rongguo Mansion. When he went up Ningrong Street, he saw Jia Rong wearing a peach red embroidered shirt and leading Jia Qiang and others riding happily. on the horse.

"Second Uncle Lian didn't become a monk?" Jia Rong asked sarcastically, the joy on his face could not be concealed.

"Where did you get a windfall? Just be so happy."

The word windfall made Jia Rong's heart skip a beat, lest Jia Lian find out that Prince Yizhong had put the money in the Ningguo Mansion, and immediately lose his momentum, and lead the others with his head down.

Before Jia Lian arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, the gate of Rongguo Mansion had already heard the news. Jin Cai, Lin Zhixiao, Dai Liang, etc. all went out to meet Jia Lian's horse, and just hugged Jia Lian's leg to wipe away tears.

"If the second master doesn't come back, the old lady can't hold it anymore!" Jin Cai's eyes were red, seeing that Jia Lian had lost a lot of weight, she said again: "Go and see the old lady, if the old lady sees the second master like this, she might be very sad .”

Jia Lian nodded, and was surrounded by people and entered the Rongguo Mansion. Instead of going to see Jia Mu first, he took Jincai into the police hall to wash and wash. When he was changing clothes and washing in the inner room, he asked Jincai: "What's wrong in the capital? I think There are so many old ladies and young ladies in the street who are tied up with ropes and dragged away."

Jin Cai looked at Jia Lian's figure behind the twelve screens with beautiful pictures of mountains and rivers on silk, bowed her body and said, "It's amazing! Fortunately, Uncle Lin came back from Beijing on a business trip, otherwise there would be a big deal! Prince Yizhong's mansion, The whole family was forced to die!"

The sound of the water behind the screen became quieter, and after a while Jia Lian asked, "What's the story?"

"What else can I say? It is said that Yushitai, Lantai Temple and a group of gentlemen inside and outside the capital co-opted to coerce the old prince to plead guilty. The little prince's blood wrote the pleadings, and then he committed suicide. The old concubine and princess were so sad when they saw the old prince like this, they hanged themselves with the two princesses in the main hall of their own house. There was such a big commotion that even the saint He didn't dare to say that the old thousand-year-old deserved what he deserved. The emperor was furious and ordered to arrest all those who persecuted the old thousand-year-old. However, all the lords who impeached the old thousand-year-old were punished one by one. I recently heard that two lords from other places yesterday The son's zhezi just entered Beijing, and the Jin Yiwei who arrested them in the middle of the night has already been dispatched."

"Can't a sage speak a word of justice?" Jia Lian hurriedly washed her hair, her hair dripping with water, and she walked out of the screen with her clothes on.

Jin Cai hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe the water from Jia Lian's hair, and said, "Old Qiantui's whole family has been forced to death, justice is naturally on the old Qiantui's side, what else can the saint say?"

"I hate Wen's death admonishment and Wu's death battle the most! No matter whether it is reasonable or not, as long as one dies, the reason is all up to them." Although Jia Lian was opportunistic, he saw that the trouble was bigger than he expected at this time. Being suppressed so much that he couldn't say a word to defend his own officials, he still couldn't help admiring the Supreme Emperor Jiang, who was still old and hot, and defended those innocent officials.

Jin Cai said in a naive manner: "Although that is the case, but the Yizhong Prince's House is full of deaths, who can say with a hard heart that they deserve what they deserve?"

Jia Lian suddenly thought that Jia Rong was so happy, he really made a fortune, and when he had the opportunity, he would blackmail Jia Zhen and share a bowl of soup from it. Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and then There was the sound of Zhuchai wearing rings, and she hurriedly arranged her clothes and went out. After opening the curtain, she saw Yingchun coming in with the aging Jia Mu and Jia She with a sallow face. !"

Mother Jia burst into tears and said: "You are a demon star, you have to tear down all the pillars in your house, and you are the only pillar left. You just ran away with some monk or Taoist priest without saying a word!" Ask Jia Amnesty to teach Jia Lian a lesson.

Jia Amnesty was also very excited, because Jia Lian was not around, fearing that his family's wealth would be taken advantage of by others, he had to work hard in the house hoping to have another child, so his body was hollowed out again, and his actions were still weak at this time, let alone teach Jia Lian a lesson. With trembling mouth, he pointed at Jia Lian angrily.

"Old lady, master, my brother is so thin and his hair is still wet." Yingchun's eyes were red, and after all Jia Lian came back, her heart was at ease.

Jia's mother said coldly, "Let me ask you, what kind of confused mind did you have to run out?" Before Jia Lian could answer, she asked Quan Fu, Quan Xi and others to go to the inner room to tidy up Jia Lian's hair. Sitting in the outside room with Jia She, while ordering someone to get some digestible soup, they chatted with Jia She that Jia Lian must not be spared this time.

Jia Lian was in the room, listening to Jia Mu and Jia She babbling outside, thinking that Jia Mu was not too old to "restore" while he was away, and when Quan Fu wiped his hair, she whispered softly to Zhao Tianliang who came in. Said: "Go to Lantai Temple and tell my uncle that there is nothing wrong with Guangxi."

Zhao Tianliang knew that he was following Jia Lian to do important things, so he didn't ask any more questions. He agreed and withdrew, went out to ride a horse, and saw the gentleman next door, Jia Yucun, coming this way again, and laughed to himself that Jia Yucun really meant to be a drunkard When he was not drinking, he rode a horse and rushed to Lantai Temple quickly.

This time, Lantai Temple and Yushitai suffered the most officials. At this time, Lantai Temple was very desolate, with only a few small officials and Lin Ruhai around.

When Zhao Tianliang saw Lin Ruhai, he told Jia Lian what he had said.

The stone that Lin Ruhai has been weighing on his heart has been relieved a lot, and now the Supreme Emperor has sent people to intercept Zhezi at various posts halfway. It can be seen that he wants to kill them all, so as not to give today's officials a chance to repent halfway.Because he brought up the idea of ​​"borrowing arrows from straw boats" to the present day, and now that so many people have been lost, it must be blamed on him. Going out to the palace, he handed over the booklet at the gate of the palace, and when Dai Quan, the chief eunuch of the Daming Palace, came to pick him up in person, he followed Dai Quan into the palace, and was stopped by Dai Quan in front of the imperial study room, knowing that Now that he was full of anger, he raised his robe and knelt down. When the sun went down, he felt that the white marble in front of him was blurred, and Dai Quan came out and said, "Doctor Lin, the saint announces your audience."

Lin Ruhai staggered to his feet, and bowed into the imperial study, only daring to look at the bright red carpet in front of him. After entering, he knelt down again after three shouts of long live.

"How is Master Lin?" Shui Mu stood in front of Lin Ruhai with a sneer, frowned deeply in his ordinary clothes.

Lin Ruhai kowtowed and said, "I deserve to die, I wish I could stop it in time..."

"Don't say any more useless words. You came up with the idea. Now everyone is suffering, but you are safe and sound!" Shui Mu leaned sideways and put one hand on the imperial case, sighing in his heart that the Supreme Emperor was really ruthless. He wanted to confiscate Prince Yizhong's mansion. The Supreme Emperor directly destroyed Prince Yizhong's mansion and sent him into the army. Prince Yizhong's mansion was gone. Chase him up and give him a grand burial; more importantly, according to their original calculations, the officials in Guangxi and other distant places may have already delivered the papers on the way, and those papers fell into the hands of the Supreme Emperor. The "criminal evidence" of Prince Yizhong's full family of "forced to death".He stared at Lin Ruhai coldly again and again, and after seeing Lin Ruhai panicked for a long time, he reluctantly waved him to stand up.

Lin Ruhai stood up slowly with his legs supported, stepped forward two steps and said in a low voice: "Sage, don't worry about your colleagues in Guangxi, they are sure to be safe." Although he once blocked Shui Mu and those officials, now Shui Mu When he was angry, Shui Mu thought he was prevaricating by mentioning that matter again.

Shui Mu was taken aback, "How are you sure?"

Lin Ruhai hurriedly took two steps forward, and whispered in a low voice what Jia Lian said about going to Guangxi without fear of hard work, and because he also owed Jia Lian a favor, he had to praise Jia Lian in his words.

Shui Mu heard that it was Jia Lian who saw the flaws in Prince Yizhong's mansion first, and also heard that Jia Lian went to Guangxi to stop Kuang Yanbing and others from handing over the papers. Finally, after days of "bad news", he heard the good news, and his expression eased a little. , I can't help but feel that Jia Lian is a man who can be made. This time, he has many generals under his command, and it makes the veterans under the Supreme Emperor proud. If he doesn't cultivate some cronies secretly, he is afraid that no one will use him in the future, so he thought about it and wrote. Under the rice paper on the imperial case, write a few big vermilion characters, and then hand the rice paper to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai didn't know why.

Shui Mu said: "You are Tanhua. This time, I will write the article about next year's autumn and next year's spring for Jia Lian."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly bowed to pick it up, not daring to read the words on the paper carefully, and hurriedly stuffed the paper into his bosom, knowing that Jia Lian was given the title of Qiu Wei and Chun Wei in the next two years of Ming Dynasty. After the confidant, Jia Lian, who is only nineteen years old, will be admitted to the temple in two years?Seeing that the saint refused to pay attention to him because of his resentment against him, he staggered and bowed and retreated. Seeing the setting sun outside the imperial study room like blood, he sighed secretly twice, "borrowing arrows from straw boats", Jia Lian was the only winner.
