"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

A large group of men directly rushed to the backyard where only the female relatives should be staying, naturally there was a lot of panic.

Mrs. Wang looked at the yamen servant who broke into the yard, and she was so angry that she almost trembled: "You guys are so brave, do you know where this is? How dare you barge in like this."

One who was a little older, who seemed to be the leader of these yamen servants, took a step forward, but cupped his hands: "Madam, we have come to Rongguo Mansion to search for usury receipts under the order of Lord Jiang of Shuntian Mansion."

Mrs. Wang's body trembled, her eyes unconsciously looked at the main house behind her, and then her voice became louder: "It's just nonsense, you broke in with such a big fanfare, did you still honor us?" The government is paying attention."

The head of the yamen servant didn't show any expression to Mrs. Wang, and said with a businesslike look: "Madam, it's better to relax, your lord has orders, we dare not disobey, not to mention that General Jia is also in the lobby of Shuntian Mansion now, if If there is anything, Madam should go to the hall and talk to General Jia," he said, waving his hand, and beckoned two of his men to come over: "Come here, take them away."

"You, you," Mrs. Wang looked at this group of people, as if she saw the group of people from the household department brought by Jia Amnesty. They also broke into the mansion and searched for things. This is not good, this is not good, Mrs. Wang shouted: "I am from the Wang family, and you dare to do so."

The two yamen servants who wanted to get started trembled after hearing Mrs. Wang's words, and looked at the leader with some hesitation.

Seeing the actions of his two subordinates, the leader was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked the other: "You bastard, we are following orders, why are we thinking so much?" Then he looked at Mrs. Wang with a bit of unkind eyes: "Madam , now we are kindly inviting you to Shuntian Mansion, if Madam keeps messing around, we can only invite Madam by the way of inviting General Jia."

"What method?" Mrs. Wang suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Of course, someone dragged Madam to Shuntian Mansion."

Well, then I might as well be dead.

Mrs. Wang's heart also trembled, and she looked up at the head of the yamen servant: "Wait a minute, I'll let someone prepare the car." Saying that, she was about to go into the house.

There was a flash of light in the eyes of the head, and he raised his hand to let someone stop Mrs. Wang: "Madam, you can just give orders from the sidelines. We are still waiting to search and deal with this house." He waved his hands back.

The few yamen servants he brought broke into Mrs. Wang's room immediately and started searching.

Madam Wang saw their movements, her legs went limp, and if it wasn't for the support of Zhou Rui's family, she would almost be able to sit on the ground.

Zhou Rui's family looked at Mrs. Wang's stunned expression, trembling with fright, her face full of tears, and she couldn't help but tremble in her heart: "Ma'am, the master is still in Shuntian Mansion, isn't he, is he looking for the Wang family... ..."

Mrs. Wang turned her head to look at Zhou Rui's family in a daze, and then suddenly held Zhou Rui's hand like a thunderbolt: "Quick, hurry up and ask someone to find my brother, he will definitely save me."

Before the words fell, someone in the room was already shouting.

I saw a yamen servant come out with a small box and put it in front of the head: "We found it."

The head opened the box and saw that the box was full of usury bills. He turned his head and looked at Madam Wang with unfriendly eyes: "Madam, it seems that you can't be a carriage anymore, you'd better walk back with us."

Mrs. Wang's face was pale, and she just wanted to faint, but she knew that if she fainted now, she would just let these people carry her to the court, and if she was touched by another man, then she would only die .

Mrs. Wang bit the tip of her tongue until the tip of her tongue was bleeding, and then she woke up a little, and asked a girl to take the veiled cap and cloak, covered herself tightly, and then followed with her head down. Behind those yamen servants.

When Mrs. Wang was about to reach the gate of Rongguo Mansion, she saw a group of people coming from another road, followed by a woman wearing a hood and cape, seeing her figure, Mrs. Wang was taken aback: "Feng'er. "

Since it was related to the women's relatives, it was natural that they could no longer surround the gate of the yamen with people like before.

After Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were brought to the hall, Shuntian Mansion closed the door and decided to try the case behind closed doors.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng had long since lost their usual cheerfulness. They were trembling, and they looked a little pitiful against the backdrop of the cloak.

Jiang Guangyan asked someone to lift a screen into the hall to keep the two of them behind, and then he told the story again.

Those onlookers were not allowed to listen to the hall at the door, but the sufferers who sued were kneeling in the hall one by one. They cursed when they saw Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, and then cursed Jia Zheng who was already standing in the hall. If the yamen servants stopped them, these suffering masters might rush up and beat these people up.

"Mr. Wang, how do you explain these bitter masters suing you for lending loan sharks and killing people?" Jiang Guangyan asked.

Mrs. Wang turned her head to look at Wang Xifeng, raised her head slightly to act like a grandma, and said in a low voice: "Feng'er, don't be afraid, Auntie has already informed your uncle, and your uncle will definitely help us with this matter. "

Wang Xifeng was confused by this series of events, but now she finally came to her senses after hearing Madam Wang's words, she hurriedly pulled Madam Wang's sleeve and said in a low voice, "Auntie, you have really notified."

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Don't worry, in the capital now, who else dares to provoke our Wang family, and have you forgotten that Lian'er is already my son? Now Baoyu is like this, I still have to count on you and your wife .”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, his chest finally stood up, and he said loudly: "My lord, it's only natural to pay back the debt, and there are naturally many people who don't pay the money to sell their sons and daughters. Is it because these people don't pay the money? If you commit suicide, you will have to blame everything on us.”

The voice was extremely arrogant, and the suffering masters became fussy again, cursing harshly, and some even stood up and rushed behind the screen, and were beaten to the ground again by the yamen servant.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xifeng felt that this grown-up didn't dare to do anything to them, and her anxiety became even less.

Mrs. Wang stood beside her silently, thinking about how to exonerate herself.

Looking at Mrs. Wang's appearance, Wang Xifeng felt that Mrs. Wang was also confident, and felt more at ease.

Jiang Guangyan frowned when he heard Wang Xifeng's words, and asked the yamen servant to bring up the usury bills found from the Rongguo Mansion: "The evidence is all here, and you are still quibbling."

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes: "My lord, this is wronged. All these loan sharks were obtained by my confidantes. Maybe these servants are too greedy to use the name of our Rongguo Mansion to harm people. We But wronged."

Mrs. Wang turned her head slightly to look at Wang Xifeng, and then she and Wang Xifeng looked at Jiang Guangyan who was seated above. Even though they couldn't see clearly through the screen, they still wanted to know the result.

When the master commits a crime, let the subordinates talk back, this is something that all respectable families will do, and Wang Xifeng also does this very well.

So are you taking me for a fool?

Jiang Guangyan gritted his teeth and said, "It's nonsense. These bills were all found in your house, and the place where they were found was extremely hidden. Didn't you put them there?"

Wang Xifeng frowned: "Well, even if this is found in the house, it can't be said to be mine. Maybe some servants think it's safer to put it in my house."

That servant is stupid.

Jiang Guangyan felt that he had been fooled, and the master at the side stepped forward and whispered a few words, Jiang Guangyan sneered and said: "These two boxes were locked before they were found, although the lock was broken by my subordinates. , but this lock was brought over, come here, go to them and be searched by the officer, whether you can find the key."

If they were really searched by a man, how would they live.

Wang Xifeng looked at the two yamen servants who were slowly approaching, and shouted: "You can't do this, you are making us die by doing this."

Jiang Guangyan sneered with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Maybe this madam doesn't know that the prisons in Shuntian Mansion have always had fewer female inmates and even fewer female prison heads. Sometimes the male prison heads watch over the female prisoners. Madam should get used to it now." Bar."

Wang Xifeng remembered shouting: "You dare, I am the daughter of the Wang family, if you dare to do this to me, our Wang family will not let you go."

"It turns out that the reason why you dare to lend loan sharks so boldly is because of the Wang family," Situ Yu said with a sneer, and looked at Jiang Guangyan: "Master Jiang, it seems that the prince of the Wang family has to take care of this matter. "

Jiang Guangyan's heart skipped a beat when he saw the eyes of his boss, Situzhen. Sure enough, a Rongguo Mansion is no match for a Wang family. I heard that the Wang family has recently gotten closer with the third prince. It seems that the sixth prince can't sit still. Yes.

Otherwise, why did the sixth prince ask him to send people to search the houses of the head grandmother and the second grandmother Lian in Rongguo Mansion, you know, these two people are both from the royal family.

After listening to Situ Yu's words, Wang Xifeng didn't know who the person who interrupted suddenly was, but she was still very happy. She turned her head and whispered to Mrs. Wang, "Look, when uncle comes, he will definitely save us."

Although Mrs. Wang felt that her brother Wang Ziteng had the ability to save her, she felt very uneasy at this moment.

But Jia Zheng, who had been quiet for a long time, looked up towards the door, full of anticipation for Wang Ziteng's arrival.

But can Prince Teng really save them?

The answer is, of course not.

What kind of character is this Wang Ziteng? Hearing the words of the person sent by Mrs. Wang, he immediately thought a lot in his heart, but this incident happened too suddenly, and he couldn't even do the actions to help clean up the mess. He was called by the people of Shuntian Mansion.

Prince Teng went to the hall, and after listening to what Jiang Guangyan had said countless times, he said respectfully, "May I allow you to chat with them in private?"

Situ Yu squinted and sneered: "Is it possible that Mr. Wang will collude with the daughter of the Wang family? Mr. Wang should know that my Daqing law does not allow anyone to privately release loan sharks. This daughter of the Wang family is really good. Not only daring to let go, but also daring to kill people, it is really unheard of and unseen."

Wang Ziteng looked at Situ Yu with a sullen face: "Please be careful, the sixth prince, anything that their aunts and nephews have done has nothing to do with the Wang family. They have been married to the Jia family for many years, and the Wang family will not pay for the Jia family."

Situ Yu snorted coldly: "Master Wang is really eloquent."

Jia Zheng became anxious: "Second uncle."

Wang Ziteng gave Jia Zheng a hard look, "Shut up," and then turned to Jiang Guangyan, "My lord."

Jiang Guangyan looked at Situ Yu: "Your Highness."

Situ Zhen raised his chin, leaned his back on the back of the chair, and pretended to be indifferent: "Master Jiang, you are the governor of Shuntian Mansion, and the prince is just listening."

Only then did Jiang Guangyan look at Wang Ziteng expressionlessly: "Lord Wang, you can have a few words with these two wives, but only in this courtroom."

Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth unwillingly, cast a gloomy glance at Situ Zhen, and turned behind the screen.

"Uncle, save me." Wang Xifeng immediately cheered up when he saw Prince Teng coming.

"Shut up," Prince Teng reprimanded in a low voice, then lowered his voice and said in a whisper that only the three of them could hear: "How did this happen?"

Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes slightly, with guilt and panic on her face.

Wang Xifeng also said with a suppressed voice: "Uncle, this matter happened too fast, we didn't even have time to finish it off."

Wang Ziteng's face became serious.

Only then did Mrs. Wang speak softly: "I beg my brother to save Baoyu and save Yuanchun in the palace."

Wang Ziteng's eyes froze, he looked at Mrs. Wang, then at Wang Xifeng, and walked out: "My lord, I have already asked about this matter, and it was all done by my niece Wang Xifeng. The official's sister has nothing to do with it."

"What?" Wang Xifeng couldn't believe her ears: "Uncle, how could you say that, it's not...uh..."

Mrs. Wang covered Wang Xifeng's mouth and whispered in her ear: "If you admit this matter alone, Yuan Chun will naturally save you when he becomes famous in the palace. Don't blame me for showing no mercy to that little girl of yours."

Wang Xifeng felt that her whole body was icy cold, as if her whole body had fallen into an ice cellar. She looked at Mrs. Wang's eyes in horror, as if she saw her own death in it.

Mrs. Wang continued in a low voice: "You are a junior, different from me. You have a good reputation, so naturally you have the guts to do immeasurable things, but I have always eaten fast, recited Buddha, and am magnanimous. With a mother like this, It is good for Yuan Chun in the palace."

Wang Xifeng's body was shaking like a sieve, something stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak at all.

Then, she heard Wang Ziteng outside say: "This Wang Xifeng has always been aggressive, bold and jealous. He is also a well-known figure in the Rongguo Mansion. My niece and son-in-law can't do anything about it." Heartbroken: "I'm ashamed to say it, this Wang Xifeng is the son of my elder brother. He lost his father since he was a child, and he refused to come to the capital to be raised by his wife. I don't know what he and her brother learned in Jinling. Waiting for this I came to the capital when I was at the right age for marriage, but at that time people were already determined, and I couldn't break it, so I had the cheek to beg my younger sister and old relative Jia's family, and then let this girl marry into the Rongguo Mansion , but this girl did not restrain herself in the Rongguo Mansion, so she did such a disaster." After speaking, he glanced at Jia Zheng: "Brother-in-law, do you think so?"

It was only then that Jia Zheng seemed to have come to his senses, and nodded quickly: "Your Excellency, although you can go to the Rongguo Mansion to check the story of this Feng girl, Mr. Wang is absolutely not lying."

Wang Xifeng sat paralyzed on the ground, it's over, it's over, she was abandoned by both the Jia family and the Wang family.

After listening to Wang Ziteng's words, Situ Yu smiled: "My lord Wang is really powerful. For ordinary people, if something like this happens to the female relatives, they don't help to cover it up. If you say it so carelessly, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" Do you have any other aunts in your Wang family?"

Wang Ziteng had a righteous face on his face: "It's the lower officials who are incompetent. They can't teach their niece well, and let the niece make mistakes and bring the whole family down. The lower officials are willing to apologize in person at the homes of every sufferer, even if they kneel down. I don't hesitate. I will also invite the emperor to punish her, but what this niece has done is really chilling, the officials really can no longer cover things up, so they have to kill relatives righteously."

"Okay, what a righteous extermination." Situ Yu clapped his hands and stood up, looking at Wang Ziteng: "It seems that Mr. Wang is really an upright person, and he will never cover up when family members commit crimes."

"Thank you, the sixth prince, for your appreciation, I am ashamed to accept it."

"That's just right. My prince just happened to have some evidence here. It is that Mr. Wang helped clean up the mess after his sister Jia Wang's privately sold her husband's family's land to sacrifice, and even used power to suppress others." Situ Yu laughed.

"Impossible." Wang Ziteng raised his head in disbelief, meeting his boss Situ Yu's eyes.

The smile on Situ Yu's face became even more obvious: "It seems that the prince should go to the palace and talk to his father about how our lord Wang, who killed his relatives righteously, said one thing and did another."

Wang Ziteng suddenly felt stiff all over, feeling that he was being entangled by a big net, and then it was getting tighter and tighter, and it was going to strangle him to death.

It turned out that the real waiting prey was him.
