The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang cried out her throat, but no one would answer her. Feng Ziying ordered several government servants to drag her to the prison, and threw her into the cell, which made Mrs. Wang's eyes stare and her head buzzing.Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, rushed to the prison door, shook her head and shouted: "You can't treat me like this, I am the mother of the imperial concubine..."

The men's and women's cells were not far away. When Jia Zheng heard Mrs. Wang's cry, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He yelled at the cell boss: "Cell boss, don't shut that stupid woman's mouth..."

Mrs. Wang heard Jia Zheng's voice, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, they have gone to raid the house, you should find a way..." Jia Zheng shouted angrily: "Copy it as soon as it is copied, and it will be clean as soon as it is copied." Zheng has always been stupid, and he doesn't care about family affairs, how does he know that there are many invisible things in his room, if he doesn't copy them, he will die for sure.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Zheng could not be blamed, so she shook the cell door desperately and shouted: "I want to see my mother, I want to see my mother..." But even if she broke her throat, no one paid attention.Mrs. Wang screamed until her throat became hoarse, she slid down the cell door weakly, and murmured: "Help me..."

Shui Chi came to Jia's mansion with his bodyguards, and Jia She hurriedly brought people out to welcome him out. Seeing that Shui Chi's face was serious and there was no smile at all, Jia She's heart pounded, and he hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "His Royal Highness, the unknown prince, is busy in his busy schedule. Come on, what's the matter?"

Feng Ziying took a step forward and said in a cold voice, "I entrust you to search the second room of the Rongguo Mansion."

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: only the second room was searched, nothing happened to the first room, it's okay!Then he laughed and said: "Second younger brother and younger sister committed a crime, it should be done, and the next official will lead the way for His Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Jia She's flattering face, Feng Ziying snorted softly. There were only two brothers, Jia She and Jia Zheng, in the Rongguo Mansion. They couldn't be of one mind, so there was no hope for the Jia family.Shui Chi sat firmly in the main hall, and said in a deep voice: "Ziying, take someone to search carefully, and don't let go of any suspicious things."

Feng Ziying bowed and said yes, waved her hand and led the guards to the back house of Jia's mansion.As soon as they walked to the hanging flower gate between the two entrances, they saw Mandarin Duck and Amber supporting Jia Mu, and Mrs. Xing Li Wanfeng followed closely behind. This group of female relatives came up to block the door. Standing in the middle, he shouted in a deep voice: "Here is the treasured staff bestowed by the late emperor, who dares to trespass into the inner courtyard of Rongguo Mansion!"

Feng Ziying stepped forward and sang, and said with a faint smile: "Mrs. Jia, we sent you a metaphor to search Jia Zhengwang's house, not the entire Rongguo Mansion. Mrs. Jia, don't make things difficult for us."

Mother Jia paused the crutch on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "This is the stick bestowed by the late emperor. Let me see who dares to trespass?" Madam, the first Mrs. Rong Guo used to nurse the late emperor, and the late emperor gave this walking stick to show his respect for the old man. It is the treasure of the family heirloom of the Jia family, and it has always been a tribute to the ancestral hall. .When Feng Ziying came to arrest people last time, Mother Jia didn't have time to use it, but this time, Mother Jia felt that the situation was not right, so she hurriedly asked for the town's crutches in an attempt to prevent the prince from raiding the house.

No matter how courageous Feng Ziying was, she would not dare to openly destroy the things bestowed by the former emperor. The two sides were at a stalemate here. Feng Ziying waved his hand quietly, and a guard rushed to report back to the prince.Shui Chi only smiled slightly when he heard this, when he came, he already thought that Jia's mansion would use the crutch bestowed by the former emperor, forcing Jia's mansion to use the gold inlaid Nanzhu Fushou Wuji crutch, this was also one of the purposes of his coming.

Shui Chi stood up and walked unhurriedly to the hanging flower door. When Jia Mu saw the prince coming, she leaned on her crutches and bowed, "I have seen His Highness the Prince." Shui Chi nodded and said in a deep voice : "Mrs. Jia is not resting in the house, why stop here in broad daylight?"

Mother Jia leaned on crutches and shook her head, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with business, so he led people straight into the back house of the Duke's mansion in broad daylight, but why? "

Shui Chi smiled lightly and said, "This king is investigating the case."

Jia's mother leaned on a cane and said with a calm face: "The late emperor bestowed the gold inlaid Nanzhu Fushou Wuji walking stick, which is to reward the ancestors. The government. Zheng'er and his daughter-in-law were at fault, so His Royal Highness did not stop him from arresting someone, but he couldn't do it if he wanted to search it. It was related to the reputation of the Rongguo government. This old man was trying to offend His Royal Highness's death penalty, and it was also a crime of defense. The face of the ancestors."

Shui Chi was not in a hurry, he just smiled lightly and said, "Mrs. Jia thinks that preventing me from confiscating the second house of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion will damage the reputation of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion? It seems that in the eyes of Mrs. Jia Tai, the Rongguo Duke's Mansion is His reputation is above everything else, so this king also explained the words, the convict wife, Jia Wang, was suspected of murdering her, and this king came to copy the stolen goods. Mrs. Jia stopped him, could it be that she was an accomplice with the Jia Wang family? ?According to the law of this dynasty, in order to maintain the dignity and equality of the law, all people involved in the case who own the imperial gift will be temporarily withdrawn. When the case is verified, the innocent will be rewarded with the imperial gift, and the guilty will be punished. If Mrs. Jia Tai doesn't know the law, this king can give you a "Code of Law" to read carefully."

Mother Jia was shocked, she really didn't know that there was such a law, as long as the family had the royal staff bestowed by the former emperor, it could turn danger into good fortune, but now she is really in a dilemma.Not to mention Jia Mu, even the other people present didn't know there was such a law.After the current emperor ascended the throne, he ordered the revision of the national law. The changes are not too many. As for the item of imperial gift, it is because there are very few families with imperial gift, so no one pays attention at all. Acting in the old way, but he didn't know that this was the foreshadowing that the emperor had planted long ago, just waiting for the opportunity to deal with those princes and nobles who had gifts from the imperial family.

Seeing that Jia's mother was not moving, Shui Chi said calmly, "Ziying, take back the gold inlaid Nanzhu Fushou Wuji walking stick for the time being, and deal with it after the case is clear."

Feng Ziying happily agreed, strode forward and held the crutches in Jia Mu's hands with both hands, and said to Jia Mu in a deep voice: "Mrs. Jia, I have offended you." Opened, and took the gold inlaid Nanzhu Fushou Wuji walking stick.

When Jiamu lost the crutch in her hand, she collapsed. She leaned on the mandarin duck and amber, and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness, please be merciful, look at the imperial concubine, look at the little dragon in her belly, and be safe." Be decent!"

Shui Chi waved his hand and said: "Come here, take Mrs. Jia back to her room, and the family members in each room, please also go back to their rooms. The king's guards will search according to law, and we will definitely not mess around."

All the sergeants escorted the people back to their respective rooms, and Shui Chi personally brought them to Mrs. Wang's yard. When he saw the small Buddhist hall, Shui Chi felt something was wrong, so he shouted: "Ziying, lead people to search carefully, don't let them go." An inch over."

Feng Ziying should claim that it was the case, and with a wave of his hand, he led people into each room and searched carefully.Mrs. Wang is the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper in Duke Rong's mansion. Naturally, her yard is not small. Together with the rooms of the maids and servants, there are nearly twenty rooms in the yard, and four soldiers are assigned to each room. Those who come will be assigned almost.Shui Chi stood in the courtyard, the more he looked at the small Buddhist hall, the more he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.Because the royal family of the Shui family respected Buddha, the guards were very cautious when searching the Buddhist hall, for fear of offending the Buddha.Therefore, all the guards entered the Buddhist hall and inspected it, and found nothing unusual, so they withdrew and searched Mrs. Wang's room.

The guards arrested all the people in each room, and all the maids and servants lined up in a row in fear. Shui Chi took a look and said coldly: "Who is the one who will serve your wife personally?"

I saw Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er Caiyun Caixiaxiu Fengxiu Luan timidly stood up, Shui Chi took a look and saw that Yu Chuan'er Caiyun Xiu Fengxiu Luan was afraid, but that kind of fear was not a hiding fear, However, Jin Chuan'er and Caixia had strange expressions on their faces. Caixia had a hint of happiness and a trace of strange fear in her eyes, while Jin Chuan'er was calmer than the others. He squinted his eyes and took a quick glance at Shui Chi, then drooped his eyelids shyly, his fair face was glowing with a faint rosy glow, as if looking at him secretly.Shui Chi was shivered by her disgust, his face sank, and an invisible coercion was released, scaring the servants so much that they didn't dare to breathe out.

"Are the six of you serving your wife?" Shui Chi asked in a deep voice.

Jin Chuan'er hurriedly said: "Back to His Royal Highness, there are six servants. The servants and sister Yu Chuan'er are in charge of the appearance of the clothes. The two of them specially follow the wife. She is responsible for the money for the wife. Take care of my wife's daily life." Jin Chuan'er pointed to the embroidered phoenix and the colorful clouds and said flatteringly.

Shui Chi hated this kind of woman who stared at Yan Xing the most, snorted coldly, and the guard beside him shouted: "Bold maidservant, kneel down."

Jin Chuan'er knelt down hurriedly, raised her head slightly, and presented the side face she thought was the most beautiful in front of Shui Chi, and said softly: "I know my mistake, please His Royal Highness punish me."

Shui Chi was disgusted by Jin Chuan'er. Since he was a child, he was disgusted with those women in the palace who were courting and flattering him, and he wanted to kill them all to be happy.Now that Jin Chuan'er was scratching her head and posing recklessly, she thought that she could catch the eyes of the prince, even if she went to the East Palace to be a maidservant, it would be better than staying in Jia's mansion.Jin Chuan'er thought that all the men in the world were like the men from Jia's mansion, that when they saw beauty, their legs became limp and they couldn't walk, but they didn't know that they slammed into the iron plate hard.

"Come here, drag this lowly maid down to slap her mouth, and send her to the Clothes Bureau to do hard labor after punishment." Shui Chi said coldly, ruining Jin Chuan'er's golden dream.

Two guards dragged Jin Chuan'er down, Jin Chuan'er yelled for help, and suddenly caught sight of Jia Baoyu who had come back from the outside, she hurriedly shouted: "Second Master Bao, help me..." When Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were captured, Baoyu finally stole Jin Chuan'er. Jin Chuan'er was very talented and knew how to serve without a teacher. Only then did Chuan'er dare to yell at him to save herself.But Baoyu was greedy for Jin Chuan'er's beauty, so he ran to Shui Chi with a smile and said, "Prince, please show your hand and let sister Jin Chuan'er go. She is so beautiful. It's a pity for the clothing bureau..." Shui Chi snorted coldly, since he heard Shui Rong talk about Jia Baoyu often pestering Daiyu, this Second Master Bao has long been on the list of people he hates the most, but he hasn't made it yet. He shot to clean up Baoyu, but Baoyu bumped into him.

Looking at Baoyu Shuiqi, he said with a cold smile: "I heard that the second master Bao always took pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade, but it was as expected when I saw him today. Since the second master Bao said love, I would like to save face. Come here, and send that lowly servant girl over to her mouth." When you come back, send Second Master Bao to the Clothes Bureau, and let him serve the sentence for that lowly maid."

Baoyu was stunned and said in a daze, "How can this be done?"

Shui Chi sneered and said, "The crown prince keeps his word, so why not? Someone here will escort Jia Baoyu to the Clothes Bureau and punish him with hard labor. Without my king's hand, he will not be released."

Before Baoyu came back to his senses, two burly men came up to set up Baoyu and ran out quickly. Before Baoyu could shout, he was thrown into the carriage and escorted to the clothing bureau.

"You are in charge of the money?" Shui Chi asked Caixia in a deep voice.

Caixia knelt down and kowtowed, straightened up and said: "His Royal Highness, the servant is in charge of the wife's money, but the servant is only in charge of the official money, the wife has other private accounts, and the servant does not take care of it."

Shui Chi nodded, glanced at the servants, and said in a deep voice, "Who is in charge of the private account?"

None of the servants spoke, but Caixia pointed to Mrs. Wang's accompanying room, Zhou Rui's family, and shouted: "Go back to His Royal Highness, the wife's private accounts are all in her hands."

Zhou Rui's family was terrified, and hurriedly waved their hands in denial: "The servant is only in charge of the wife's dowry, and has no private accounts. Your Highness, don't listen to this little goblin's nonsense."

Shui Chi sneered and said, "Come here, search the house of this old misanthrope."

Zhou Rui's family was trembling with fright, and their hearts were terrified. Although the private tent had never been hidden in her home, there were still some hidden things in the house. Judging by the prince's posture, she would never let it go. She didn't know that she was The bamboo tube poured the beans to confess everything, and he still carried it to the end for Mrs. Wang.

After half an hour, the sergeants who had searched the various rooms had finished their searches and withdrew.Feng Ziying commanded a few soldiers to carry some things out of Mrs. Wang's room, and said to Shui Chi, "Your Highness, there are a few things here that have the Lin family's secret mark on them."

Shui Chi nodded, stepped forward and picked up a Ru Kiln beauty shrugging bottle, Feng Ziying hurriedly said: "There is a small seal character 'Lin' under the bottle, I think it may belong to Lin County Lord's family."

Shui Chi nodded and said: "I know this bottle, it belongs to my teacher, I don't want to be swallowed by that wicked woman. There are four of these bottles, where are the other two?"

Feng Ziying hurriedly said, "Only these two were found."

Feng Ziying looked back at Caixia and the others, Caixia hurriedly said: "Go back to His Royal Highness, there are two more in the room of Second Master Bao." Shui Chi nodded and said: "Okay, your name is Caixia? Stand up and answer."

Caixia kowtowed, but she didn't stand up, she just asked softly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, this servant replied on her knees. This servant is willing to tell His Highness everything that this servant knows, and I only ask His Highness to take pity on you and tell this servant about the third master Huan. News, is he... still alive?"

Shui Chi looked at Caixia, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, "Jia Huan? He's safe now."

After Caixia heard this, she slammed her head on the ground and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."

Shui Chi smiled lightly, "Jia Huan didn't break the law, so naturally this king won't make things difficult for him."

Caixia bit her lower lip, hesitated to speak, Shui Chi was not a careless person, so she said: "Caixia, lead the guard chief Feng to Jia Baoyu's room to get the bottle, Ziying, if there are any belongings from the Lin family, take them with you." Take it."

Caixia hurriedly kowtowed and stood up, leading Feng Ziying to Jia Baoyu's yard.Shui Chi checked the other things, and all the things he brought out had the secret marks of the Lin family. The more Shui Chi looked at them, the more angry he became. Smash all these things.

The sergeant who was sent to search Zhou Rui's house came back soon, and found no account books except some yellow and white items and the certificate of usury.Shui Chi held the stack of usury receipts, and said in a cold voice: "Great profiteering! Come here, lock up this wicked woman and send her to the Ministry of Punishment. After the king has finished confiscating it, the case will be tried."

Zhou Rui's family was so frightened that they fell to the ground and kowtowed desperately: "His Royal Highness, please forgive me, this is all done by my wife, and it has nothing to do with slaves!"

Shui Chi didn't bother to talk to Zhou Rui's family, so he just said, "Take it away."

The sergeant went up to pick up the lock of Zhou Rui's house and escorted him away. Zhou Rui's family cried and yelled, and no one could hear them all over the house. Jia's mother sat in the house and was anxious secretly, restless like ants on a hot pot. But she couldn't go out, because there were soldiers from Zongzheng Temple guarding the door.It was impossible to ask someone to discuss it, because he was afraid of colluding confessions, Shui Chi had already ordered everyone to go back to their rooms, and no one was allowed to stay in other people's rooms.

Feng Ziying quickly took the bottle from Baoyu's room and came back. He put the bottle on the ground, approached Shui Chi and whispered something in a low voice, and Shui Chi's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Come on, search for the Buddha again." Tang, search inch by inch."

The search this time was different from just now. The light in the Buddhist hall was dark, so all the soldiers moved the things that could be moved out of the Buddhist hall to the yard. The only thing that was removed was a shrine and a sitting statue of Avalokitesvara in red gold in the shrine.This altar is as high as a person and a half. It is built on the ground and cannot be moved at all.

Feng Ziying walked to the altar, observed carefully, and saw that the copper candlesticks on both sides were somewhat different. One of them was obviously smoother than the other, as if it was often rubbed by someone.Feng Ziying put her hand on the smooth handle of the candlestick, and tried to twist it lightly, but unexpectedly, she actually twisted it, only to hear a slight thumping sound, and suddenly a board sank inward from the side of the altar, A dark hole was exposed.Feng Ziying immediately shouted: "Your Highness, there is a secret channel!"
