Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

For her old age, maybe... Daiyu only thought of this, and didn't dare to continue thinking about it. She turned her head to signal Binghu, and Binghu hurriedly walked to the side of Mr. Sun, the official of the Ministry of Justice. After whispering a few words, Master Sun stood up and said: "In the summer of the Yiyou year, smallpox was infected in the northern capital and spread to Tongzhou and Weizhou. Some counties north of the Yellow River were infected one after another, but there was no case in the south of the Yellow River. Therefore, in Suzhou that year , there will be no clothes contaminated with smallpox virus in the local area."

"Grandma, did you understand? The patchwork clothes were sent from the capital to my home maliciously. The person who sent this clothes was Jiao Da. Grandma still remembers him. He is from Ningguo Mansion, but he was the last one in front of my grandmother. The most loyal servant, he even chased and killed Daiyu's mother Wang, thanks to the mother who jumped into the water and escaped unharmed, come and tell Jiao Da."

Mother Jia was sweating, and now she finally understood that Daiyu had a lot of evidence in her hands, no matter how hard it was to sit still, she stood up while holding on to a chair, and saw that a person was being escorted in from outside. From a distance, his face seemed to be Jiao Da's appearance, this slave, he actually recruited everything.

After Jiao Da invited An, he didn't look sideways, he didn't seem to see Jia Mu standing beside him, Master Sun said: "Jiao Da, who sent you to the Lin Mansion to deliver the clothes?"

Jiao Da hurriedly said: "It's Taijun Jia of the Rongguo Mansion who gave the servant 300 taels of silver and asked the servant to rush to Suzhou Linfu to find Miss Zhang's dowry girl and give her this patchwork robe and a secret letter. After the servant delivered it , Mrs. Zhang gave the token and returned to the capital to do business."

"What is the token?"

Not only the officials, but even Daiyu heard of the existence of tokens for the first time, and Jiao Da said while gesticulating: "It's such a big box with a ring inside, which is quite special." Yes, it's lotus color."

That's right, that was the violet ring that my mother had brought back then, and now it's in my own hands, Xueyan had already held it out, Binghu opened the box and put it in front of Jiao Da, Jiao Da said: "Yes, this is this, slave Back then, I loved to drink and gamble, and on the way back to Beijing I wanted to resell it several times, but after some hesitation, I still handed it over to the old lady."

Jia's mother hurriedly said: "Nonsense, when did I send you to the south of the Yangtze River to deliver the patchwork clothes stained with smallpox? It's pure nonsense, that is, it was handed over to me. Why is it now in the hands of the imperial concubine? Back then, the Lin family property belonged to Jia. When I got home, there was no such item in the list."

Holding the ring, Daiyu hesitated. Of course she knew that Baochai and Xue Panli Yingwai got this ring out of Jia Mu's small storeroom. Convince.

After thinking about it, Daiyu made up her mind, called Binghu and said: "You want to tell them that from now on, no one is allowed to see Jia Taijun in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and lock her up alone."

"The servant understands."

"If you want to clarify the origin of this ring, you need two witnesses. Come here and tell Xue Pan and Xue Baochai brothers and sisters."

Mother Jia suddenly thought of the reason. She had suspected that the theft in the small warehouse was related to Baochai, but she did not expect that it was really her. Fall off the forehead.

During the waiting time, Daiyu felt that the time had passed extremely long, but Jia's mother hoped that the Xue Pan brothers and sisters would not be found. No matter how much she prayed, the Xue Pan brothers and sisters still arrived.

Binghu held the ring and came to the two of them, and asked if they had seen it before, and the siblings said in unison: "Yes."

"Where did you see it?"

"It was my younger sister, Baochai, who entered Jia Taijun's small treasury privately. When she saw this rare object, she put it away and handed it to the Caomin. The Caomin entered the palace as a tribute."

Baochai also said: "The woman is guilty. It is true that she got it from the old lady's small warehouse that day."

Mother Jia pointed at Baochai, she was so angry that she couldn't speak, but she was so angry that she didn't faint, and she would rather faint at this time.

Chapter Name: 208 Liquidation ([-])

Although Jia's mother was pushed into a very passive situation by Daiyu's move, she was still unusually calm when facing death. Jia's mother cleared her throat and explained: "Your mother was nearly forty years old. I gave birth to this son. Smallpox occurred in the capital that year. I was very worried, so I specially asked people to go to the homes of the people in the countryside to collect some scattered materials from door to door. This servant loves to drink and gamble most of the time, because I was afraid that he would be in trouble with drinking, so I told him to take a token. I love you."

"It turns out that grandma meant well." Daiyu looked at Jiamu with piercing eyes and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty has never been a mother, so naturally you don't know the importance of children to your mother. Your mother only gave birth to your siblings after more than ten years of marriage. Naturally, you are raising them like babies. I am also a mother, so how can I not understand her thoughts. "

Daiyu thought for a while and asked, "If these are the facts, why didn't grandma ask Jiao Da to hand over the clothes directly to mother instead of borrowing the hand of the mother?"

Mother Jia had thought about this question just now, and knowing that Daiyu would definitely ask, Mother Jia replied calmly: "Smallpox spread in the capital that year. I'm afraid that if your mother knows about it, she will worry more. Why don't you let me know?" Help me make a piece of patchwork clothes secretly, and keep my grandson safe and sound."

The queen mother has been sitting behind the curtain, frowning more and more, the evidence is in front of her, Jia Mu still has the ability to overthrow them one by one, no wonder she was able to persuade Shui Zhan's younger sister Qin Keqing to commit suicide, and blame everything on the emperor's head.

Master Sun asked: "Where did the patchwork clothes with smallpox come from?"

Mother Jia glanced at Master Sun contemptuously, and said, "Your Excellency must examine Jiao Da carefully. What I handed over to him is a piece of undamaged clothes. It will change its appearance when it is sent to Jiangnan. Maybe it was during the journey." , maybe infected."

Jiao Da stood aside and hurriedly said: "Old lady, why did you give this clothes to me, why did I give them to Madam Zhang, they have never been opened at all, how could they be infected with smallpox?"

"Seeing that you are usually confused, what you said today is quite clear." Turning his head and facing Daiyu, he said, "Your Majesty, I moved your family property and silver for the sake of the family. If you say that you are greedy for money, I admit it, but you It is untenable to say that I want to kill my own grandson, your mother is my own daughter, a child who is closer than your two uncles."

"It's because my mother is your only biological child that I can't believe that you are the mastermind behind this matter. My grandmother is so eloquent, Daiyu is willing to bow down, come here, and then pass on to the Shuren Wang family. "

After a short while, Mrs. Wang was brought up. At this time, Mrs. Wang already knew how Baoyu had left. If one were to talk about hatred, Daiyu took three points, and Jia Mu took seven points. During the conversation, she seemed to understand that the reason why Jiamu stayed in the prison of the Ministry of Justice was more or less related to the death of Daiyu's younger brother. Jiamu forced Baoyu away, and she had to pay the price for this incident.

Glancing around secretly, I saw that apart from Jiao Da and Baochai brothers and sisters kneeling beside him, Mrs. Wang felt very strange about their appearance, before she could think about it, Master Sun asked Mrs. Wang if she knew Jiao Da sent him About the smallpox-infected patchwork clothes coming to Jiangnan Lin's Mansion, Mrs. Wang raised her head and said with a serious expression: "The criminal woman knows."

Mrs. Jia was very surprised, how could she know, Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked what happened, Mrs. Wang said: "That year there was smallpox in the capital, and everyone in the mansion was panicked, and sent several children out to hide from smallpox one after another. Greetings from the old lady in the room, as soon as she entered the yard, she saw the maids standing outside the door. The criminal woman knew that the old lady must have something to hide, so she walked around and eavesdropped a few words. It turned out that the old lady ordered Jiao Da When I went to deliver things to the Lin family in Suzhou, the sinful woman first thought that the old lady had got something good to give to the aunt, but also thought about the deep love between mother and daughter. Once the estrangement of these years is healed, the old lady will still go to her."

"That is to say, Wang Shuren doesn't know what was sent to Jiangnan?"

"I didn't know it at first, but after Jiao Da left, the sinful woman heard that the old lady was talking to someone, and then realized that there was another person in the room. After listening carefully, she realized that it was the old mother Lai."

"Pass it to Nanny Lai." Lord Sun hurriedly ordered the guards to go out to pick him up. This was a new breakthrough.

Mother Jia only felt that her clothes were soaked through. As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a house thief. It was true. When Master Sun asked Mrs. Wang what she had heard, Mrs. Wang said, "Mrs. Because of something...it will not work after a long time, the voice is very low, and the convict woman can't understand it very well."

Mother Jia sneered and said, "Are you going to condemn me with just these few words? Nanny Lai is older than me, her eyes are dim, and her sanity has long been unclear. How can she be accurate in what she says?"

"Grandmother is afraid of what Mammy Lai will say?" Although Daiyu secretly hated Jiamu, she had to admire Jiamu's reasoning and hard work. She was able to lead the entire Rongguo Mansion to prosper for decades. generation.

"I have never done anything. I am afraid of something. I have never done anything wrong. I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Even if Nanny Lai comes, I am not afraid."

Daiyu secretly got angry, there were so many witnesses, Jia Mu could not be convicted, Jia Mu was really a difficult person, the official Sun Dajun sent someone to send a message, there was not enough evidence, to convict Jia Taijun Too reluctant.

Mother Jia gritted her teeth and stood firm, knowing that if she slack off even a little bit, she would be in a doomed situation.
