"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

It can be said that the Prince of Nan'an is treating it seriously now, even if the old concubine doesn't say anything, she still waits in the front hall early in the morning every day. Little, wait with the old concubine.

They have heard that the method used by King Yong to collect the owed money these days is simply rude. Such a rascal, he just ordered people to smash the warehouse to move the money. This is begging for money, this is stealing money.

King Nan'an was in a cold sweat when he heard the news from the servants in the mansion. He just felt that if the old concubine was not there to suppress him, he would really not be the opponent of King Yongjun and others, but this King Yongjun just bypassed If they don't come, except for their family, the family who collected the owed money came according to the red list of the household department. He wondered, how can he be compared to the scoundrel of Prince Zhongshun? Why did these people just let him go? Woolen cloth.

Sometimes, when something happens, it's actually not terrible. What's terrible is that it's delayed. In the days when there is a knife hanging above the head, it is the most painful thing to be frightened.

In just a few days, Prince Nan'an felt that he had lost several catties.

Not only the prince of Nan'an has lost weight, but even the old concubine has lost weight. She is not young, so worrying about it every day makes it difficult to sleep and eat. In addition, there is a very anxious king of Nan'an, and the old concubine is always there. I wonder if I will be able to last until I enter the palace to file a complaint.

Fortunately, King Yong did not keep them waiting for long.

Jia She made some estimates, and felt that the emperor's patience should be about the same, and it would not be good for them to collect all the money owed, so he suggested to King Yong: It's time.

King Yong looked up at Jia Amnesty with a serious expression.

Jia She nodded.

King Yongjun got up and ordered: "Come on, go to Nan'an Palace."

"Come on, come on, my lord, the lord of Yongjun is here."

Just when King Nan'an waited hopelessly and felt that the people from the household department would not come again today, the servants shouted and came in to report.

Nan'an Wang stood up 'teng', his eyes lit up: "seriously."

"Really, the person is already waiting at the door." The servant nodded, with a joyful expression on his face.

King Nan'an turned his head to look at the old concubine, and sighed, "Mother, you're finally here."

The old concubine nodded equally satisfied: "Yes, it's finally here."

In other words, why does this sound so wrong? Why do they feel that they are eagerly hoping for someone to come to give money.

So much so that when Situ Zhen and others came in, they couldn't react for a while when they looked at the Nan'an Palace who were staring at his group of people.

Situ Zhen turned his head, frowned and glanced at Jia She: I have gone to the wrong place, why does it feel so weird?

Jia Amnesty also frowned and looked back: I think they are looking forward to us.

Situ Zhen turned his head in silence: "The Prince of Nan'an, the old concubine, I am here today because of the money that your family owes the Ministry of Households." Situ Zhen paused, suppressing the discomfort in his heart: "Lin Ruhai."

Lin Ruhai took a step forward, took out the ledger as usual, and wanted to read the contents of the ledger.

The prince of Nan'an and the old concubine cleared their throats, sat up a little more, and felt that their fighting spirit had risen.

Lin Ruhai's hand slipped and almost knocked the ledger to the ground.

King Nan'an's eyes trembled with the ledger that almost fell to the ground, and he said, "Master Lin, you can start now."

Situ Zhen's frown deepened, and he looked at Jia She: We really came to Nan'an Palace?

Jia Amnesty smiled and nodded, looking back and forth between the faces of Prince Nan'an and the old concubine.

Lin Ruhai coughed: "Prince Nan'an, your family owes the Ministry of Households a total of 38 taels of silver."

Come, come, King Nan'an and the old concubine looked at each other subconsciously, with a sense of excitement on their faces.

Jia She's brows paused, and his smile deepened.

Only then did King Nan'an look at Situ Zhen: "Your Majesty, although our palace is considered a palace, but I usually don't have any real power, so the money really isn't worth it."

Lin Ruhai spoke truthfully: "My lord, according to our investigation, you just bought a singer from Wanhua Pavilion for 5000 taels last month, and there are more than ten days ago, the prince is in..."

Every time Lin Ruhai mentioned a piece of evidence that the people in the Nan'an Palace were wasting extravagance, the eyes of the Prince of Nan'an lit up a little. In the end, even Lin Ruhai subconsciously lowered his body and looked at the King of Nan'an with a strange expression on his face.

Seeing Lin Ruhai stop, King Nan'an hurriedly asked, "What else?"

Lin Ruhai felt even more weird and speechless.

Jia She laughed lightly, stood up, looked into the bright eyes of King Nan'an, and said, "My lord, you have the money to buy a singer, but you don't have the money to pay back the silver. Do you still have the emperor in your heart? Do you still have the court?"

Come, come, use loyalty to suppress people.

Nan'an Wang 'Teng' stood up, the movement was so big that he almost knocked down the chair under his buttocks, and he bowed towards the direction of the imperial city with his hands folded: "My king's loyalty to the emperor, the sun and the moon It can be learned."

Jia Amnesty's smile deepened: "Since the lord is so loyal, he should return Ku Yin, so that the emperor can know that the lord is loyal. Could it be that the word "loyalty" is only on the lips of the lord, but not in his heart? .”

King Nan'an's body was about to tremble with excitement, that's right, that's right, that's the way to die.

He looked at Jia She with helplessness and resentment: "Master Jia, are you trying to force me to death?" The expression on his face trembled unconsciously due to the excessive force.

Jia Amnesty didn't change his expression, he was still smiling, your acting was too much.

"Since that's the case, I don't have anything to say." Jia She's voice was a little higher: "Come on, find the warehouse of Nan'an Palace, break the door and go in, and see if there is enough money. If it is enough, take it away." If it is not enough, search out those antique calligraphy and paintings, land deeds and house deeds that are easy to sell, and get a [-]% discount."

Situ Zhen sat aside without chewing, but nodded quietly.

When those people saw Situ Zhen nodding, they immediately took action. In fact, before they came, they had already sent spies to the mansion to inquire about the situation. The Prince of Nan'an is a ridiculous person, and the mansion is like a sieve, just to see him He has neither real power nor intelligence, and many people don't bother to put nails in. Therefore, it is very easy for Situ Zhen to understand the situation in this mansion. It is very easy. At the beginning, Situ Zhen once thought that he might be deceived Same.

After hearing Jia She's words, Nan'an King and the old concubine had a smile on their faces. The smile was like the fulfillment of their ambitions after their wish was fulfilled. They even nodded to each other.

Then, the old concubine slapped her thigh and cried, "You are bullying people, you are trying to make us die."

Situ Zhen and Lin Ruhai glanced at each other, they were both confused, and then they saw Jia She's expression became brighter.

Jia She took a step forward: "Old concubine, if you think about the friendship of the former emperor in your heart, you shouldn't be crying endlessly here. Now that there are disputes in the court and the emperor is really exhausted, shouldn't you share the worry for the emperor? "

The old concubine paused, glanced at King Nan'an, and cried even harder: "The first emperor, take me away, so that I won't have to watch my son being abused like this before I get old."

King Nan'an supported the old concubine while crying: "Mother, it's our fate."

Situ Zhen and Lin Ruhai felt that the goose bumps on their bodies were about to fall off.

Jia She said sharply: "It's just nonsense, as the emperor's younger brother, how can you be so unreasonable and unreasonable."

"What's wrong with me being unreasonable and unreasonable?" King Nan'an gave Jia She a hard look, but the excitement in his eyes was even more intense: "You guys are asking for money, it's obviously Ming Qiang, I can't sue No."

"Yes, yes, yes." The old concubine stood up holding the hand of King Nan'an, looked at Jia She as if she was looking at some heinous villain, and was heartbroken until Situ Zhen and Lin Ruhai turned away silently only Jia Amnesty looked at each other with a smile on his face.

"This concubine is going to the palace to look for the empress dowager right now, and tell the empress dowager all about your powerlessness."

Jia She raised his eyebrows and looked at the pair of living treasures on the opposite side, and continued: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubine can't do anything to the ministers even if she enters the palace."

Come, come, the eyes of the old concubine and Prince Nanan continued to brighten, and they were also prepared for this move.

Jia She watched the two look at each other again, and said helplessly, "Old concubine, you should pass out now."

"That's right, this concubine was stunned." As she said that, the old concubine rolled her eyes and leaned on King Nan'an.

The king of Nan'an immediately shouted: "Come quickly, the prince of Yongjun has fainted the old concubine, please call the imperial doctor."

Situ Zhen stared dumbfounded at the flying chickens in front of him, and really didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, someone from the household department came to report that all the money had been counted. Situ Zhen immediately stood up, said goodbye and walked out. Today's situation is so strange that he doesn't even know what to say. up.

Unexpectedly, the king of Nan'an still shouted behind Situ Zhen: "You wait, the king will definitely pay back this account book."

Situ Zhen paused and walked faster.

After the whole group left Nan'an Palace, Situ Zhen squinted at Jia She: "Do you understand what's going on?"

Jia She curled her lips, "Damn it, it's just two retarded people."

The corners of Situ Zhen's and Lin Ruhai's mouths twitched unconsciously.

Only then did Jia She put on his usual gentle smile: "My lord, why don't you go back and find a dog, and every time the dog wants to urinate, order someone to tie it to the toilet and let it urinate on the toilet, then you will know The meaning of the minister."

Situ Zhen raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but took note of Jia She's words in his heart, and after he went back, he actually sent someone to find a dog, and did it according to Jia She's method.

Lin Ruhai heard it from the side, and went back to find a dog.

Then, the two of them looked at the dog who would never urinate even if it was barking until it was tied to the toilet, and fell silent.

The old concubine of Nan'an Wang finally rushed into the empress dowager's bedroom crying loudly after she got a diagnosis from the imperial physician that she was "out of breath and needed rest".

At this time, Situ Zhen was already standing in Situ Xi's Qianhe Hall, and began to report the status of the payment of silver one by one.

"Father, my son is incompetent. I can't help my father get back all the money owed." Situ Zhen knelt on the ground with a guilty expression on his face.

Situ Xi looked at the account book presented by Situ Zhen, and then saw that one-third of the owed money had been repaid, with a look of relief: "Fourth, thank you for your hard work."

"It's my honor to be able to serve Emperor Father."

Situ Xi was even more satisfied, and comforted: "This time, I know that I have wronged you, but don't worry, I will remember your heart."

"Father." Situ Zhen raised his head, and he, who was always emotionally restrained, showed a little excitement rarely.

Situ Xi smiled and nodded: "On the surface, I will punish you, but secretly, I will compensate you. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Situ Zhen paused for a moment, then kowtowed cautiously: "Father, neither Lin Ruhai nor Jia Amnesty can please him about this matter now. It's nothing, but Lin Ruhai, who worked hard in Jiangnan before, is now dragged in because of my son, who wants to invite father..."

Situ Xi narrowed his eyes: "You want me to use Lin Ruhai again."

"No, I want my father to save Lin Ruhai."

Situ Xi raised his eyebrows, dispelling the displeasure he felt that the fourth child also wanted to form a clique, and asked, "Help? What do you mean?"

"Father, these days, Lin Ruhai worked hard to collect the owed money, and once again he vomited blood and passed out. At that time, my son sent an imperial physician to treat him. The imperial physician, the imperial physician..." Situ Zhen hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to do. How to say.

Situ Xi's expression became serious: "What did the imperial doctor say?"

"It is said that Lin Ruhai was drugged in Jiangnan, that's why he is so helpless." Situ Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand, Mr. Lin has been fighting wits and courage with those salt merchant officials in Jiangnan. Why did he become so weak in just a few days after arriving at the household department? The imperial physician said that Mr. Lin had been taking this medicine for five or six years, and that it was the case that the dosage was increased when he arrived in the capital. My son, my son Just asking Father to save Master Lin, it can be regarded as satisfying his heart to help this minister."

Situ Xi narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "Okay, I have my own discretion in this matter, you should step back first."

After Situ Zhen left, Situ Xi immediately summoned the imperial physician who treated Lin Ruhai. This person was the imperial physician Wang who had a good relationship with Jia She.

Situ Xi asked about Lin Ruhai's condition in detail, and after learning that Lin Ruhai was weak and needed to rest, he didn't say anything more, but he was quite concerned about the time when Lin Ruhai was poisoned as the imperial physician said, and asked the imperial physician to treat Lin Ruhai even more. He even paid out the court judge that he used as a queen, and told the court judge to act secretly, while sending people to investigate Lin Ruhai's poisoning.

Lin Ruhai is regarded as the emperor's confidant, he has been in the position of Xunyan Yushi for so many years, no matter how the emperor will have a good impression of him, who dares to touch him.

At the first moment, the emperor thought of abolishing the prince. After all, Jiangnan is really profitable, not to mention in the salt administration. Arch your own people up.But the imperial physician also said that Lin Ruhai had already entered the capital, but the dosage was increased, which made Situ Xi have to think too much. He even thought, could it be that his sons had secretly controlled the power of the abolished prince? This kind of thing can only be done, if this is the case, Situ Xi's eyes flashed coldly, these sons are really too worrying.

On the second day, the emperor's imperial decree came down, saying that Situzhen, the king of Yongjun, offended the former emperor and concubine, and was dismissed from his job in the household department. Lin Ruhai was also dismissed from his post. An'an went back to be his book of etiquette.

The ministers all looked at each other, and they all understood that the emperor was already satisfied with the collection of the owed money by the king of Yongjun this time, but because of the involvement of Shanda, he used the matter of the old concubine of the king of Nan'an to suppress this matter.

The more shrewd ministers saw King Yong's ability again, while some less shrewd ones, like the Rongguo Mansion, would sneer and say with a sneer, "It's what you deserve."
