Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

Liu's face was flushed, and she turned her head, "Ma'am, you obviously know all about it, and you still ask why you know it, so the servant will stop talking." Yesterday Jia Juan pointed out the ambiguous relationship between Liu Shi and Li Shi in both words and deeds, which made them The two were surprised a lot, and they both looked at Shui Fang who was drinking tea and listening to the opera with complaining eyes, blaming Shui Fang for not keeping his word, and actually told the fourth person about such a secret.

"I don't blame Lord Hou for talking about this matter. He thought it was inconvenient for you to always cover up like this, so he made the matter clear to me. Let me put you in the same courtyard. Isn't it convenient to meet in private?" Jia Juan said with a smile.

Liu Shi and Li Shi hurriedly said they didn't dare. "There's no rush for this fluttering one. The child is still young, so let's put it in my yard and keep her brother as company. Let's take care of Aunt Ma's business first. I always feel that the corpse is here. I'm not feeling well. Is Mommy here?" He called towards the door.

Seeing Qiufen standing outside, Guan's mother knew that his wife was talking to the two aunts inside, so she waited outside.Hearing his wife calling her, she hurriedly came in. "Take care of mother, you bring a few prudent daughters-in-law to send Aunt Ma to Shuiyue Nunnery. Don't forget to add some sesame oil. Let's do the funeral."

"Yes, ma'am. This servant is also about to ask Madam for instructions. Aunt Ma died in childbirth. This is a serious crime. She was like that before she died. I'm afraid..." Mother Guan paused, "Everyone in the house I dare not go near Aunt Ma’s yard, for fear of getting dirty things. Madam is more thoughtful, and this servant will do it right away.” Mother Guan burned two pieces of water for Aunt Ma at the gate of Aunt Ma’s yard early in the morning. Fold paper money to get her on the road.

After Guan’s mother left, Jia Juan thought of something, “You said, Aunt Ma’s white silk was found by calling. I asked Lu’er, and she said it wasn’t in Aunt Ma’s house. Ever since she was pregnant with a child, she has become rare in brightly colored clothes, saying that they are Tujili. Those plain dresses are kept in a box, and I haven’t seen her wear them these days. I asked Luer to check, and these dresses They are all neat. Could it be that they just appeared out of thin air?"

"Ma'am, don't say it's a pity." Li Shi is most afraid of the things that gods and gods are talking about, and Liu Shi also feels scalp numbness, "Could it be picked up from other places? Or let the slaves go and investigate? "There are hundreds of people in the mansion, where do you start the investigation. Forget it, I'll just say this, and you don't take it to heart." Recently, the mansion is not peaceful, and Jia Juan is considering whether to hire a Taoist priest to do it. A French.

Aunt Ma's old lady howled a few times in the mourning hall, then sat on the chair in a daze in a daze, ignored Guan Mama and others, and let Guan Mama manipulate her like a puppet.At first, Mama Guan thought it was her posturing, but later she saw something wrong and thought she was in a daze for a while.

Mother Guan was afraid that there would be troubles, so she hurriedly handed over the silver rewarded by Master Hou to Aunt Ma's old lady, and brought a carriage from the mansion for two safe daughters-in-law to take her home.The old lady foolishly took the silver and got into the carriage.After the carriage went far away, the old lady cried loudly, thinking that she should have broken her daughter's leg in the first place, and it was better than her wishful thinking to become rich and noble and ruin her life.

After sending Aunt Ma away, Mother Guan led people to bury Aunt Ma on the hillside below the ancestral grave of the Marquis Mansion of Wending, and this piece of land also belonged to the Marquis Mansion.The aunt of Wending Hou's Mansion was buried here after her death. Because Aunt Ma gave birth to a child, her cemetery was surrounded by a separate area. Two pine trees were planted in front of the tomb. It is more beautiful after death.

"I almost forgot to tell you a piece of good news. Master Hou wrote in a letter saying that the imperial decree will come down in a few days, and now Shengshang Yingming will rehabilitate your Liu family. From now on, you will be good citizens, and you will be decent officials. But Don't call yourself a servant and servant in front of me, it will make people feel sour." She was originally a daughter of a good family, if she was not in trouble at home, she was still a young lady at home, how could she be reduced to this state.

"Ma'am, is this true?" Jia Juan was also happy for them, because they were lucky. Shuifang went to Yangzhou this time because of a case where he arrested several slaves who pretended to be powerful, and one of them couldn't stand the torture. , All the bad things I have done have been recruited one by one.

Shui Fang has seen countless people, and seeing his eyes flickering and his appearance @评丝, he is not a good person at first glance.Moreover, his speech is meticulous and clear, and his speech is like an endorsement, so that no one can find a trace of flaws. It is obvious that he has prepared his speech in advance.Shui Fang remained calm and took him into custody temporarily, intending to inquire about this person's background from others.

There is a catcher Chen in the mansion. His father is a good friend of Mr. Liu.The Chen family runs an escort agency, and they are well-known in the world.The Liu family had been in the rivers and lakes before, and the two families had been friends for generations.Later, the Liu family left the rivers and lakes and joined the temple, and the relationship between the two families gradually weakened.

By chance, Mr. Liu rescued Mr. Chen who was robbed by bandits. In order to thank Mr. Liu for saving his life, Mr. Chen helped the Liu family a few times, and the two families started to move around again.Otherwise, with the family background of the Chen family, how could they be friends with the Liu family.Because the Liu family's case involved the imperial court, it was difficult for friends in the world to get involved, so they had no choice but to help.

After the Liu family incident, Father Chen was afraid of being implicated, so he spent all his family savings and changed his household registration. The family changed their names and surnames and moved to a small town in the north.In the past few years, Father Chen was getting old and homesick, and wanted to return to his roots. Catcher Chen was filial to his father, resigned from his job as a county yamen servant, sold the small courtyard in the north, and returned to Yangzhou with his family.

Coincidentally, the new patrol Yan Yushi Lin lord cleaned up the yamen servants who were eating and drinking in the yamen and posted the list. Chen Butou took the recommendation letter from his former immediate boss to sign up.Shui Fang saw that he was good at kung fu and experienced, so he kept him by his side as an errand, and still took the position of head catcher.

Chen Butou had been to Liu Mansion several times with Father Chen before, and he immediately recognized this slave in front of him as Mr. Liu's book boy, Xiaomo. deep impression.Picked it up when I got home.Father Chen insisted on saying that he admitted the wrong person, all the servants of the Liu family were sent to northern Xinjiang to do hard labor, how could they be in Yangzhou.

Chen Butou thought about it left and right, but he felt that something was wrong. Could it be that this kid escaped back from northern Xinjiang privately.Remember, Father Chen said before that this kid is glib, and he doesn't seem to be serious at first glance.Father Chen accidentally saw him sneaking around in the study, as if he was stealing something.Before he had time to tell Mr. Liu, the Liu family was ransacked.

Mr. Liu's official reputation has always been good. The people in Yangzhou City did not believe that he would have an affair with the salt dealer. Father Chen also discussed it in private, maybe he offended someone and was framed.It is said that when the family ransacked, they found Mr. Liu's letters in his study with the salt dealer, and the charges were confirmed.

Thinking about it now, the words and deeds of this slave are indeed a bit suspicious.He is Master Liu's book boy, he can come in and out of the study at will, maybe he hid the letter in the study to frame Master Liu.The more Chen Butou thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he pushed open the door of Father Chen's room in the middle of the night, almost scaring his father and mother to death.

After listening to Chen Butou's words, Mr. Chen thought carefully about the fact that it was really weird.It's just that the Chen family made two trips, one south and one north, and the current situation is not as good as before.It was not easy to help the Liu family before, and now it is even more impossible to help the Liu family.

Butou Chen secretly brought Father Chen into the cell. Although the book boy has grown a lot taller than before, his appearance has not changed much.Father Chen pointed out that this slave is Mr. Liu's book boy.Seeing his slick thief appearance, old man Chen couldn't get angry, and yelled at the book boy's nose through the wooden fence, betraying the master and having no conscience, everything was sold out.

The movement here not only stunned the yamen guards at the gate, but even Shui Fang and Lin Ruhai were also alarmed.Chen Butou was completely speechless. The older the old man became, the more irritable his temper became. He was still talking nonsense here, and when he heard footsteps outside, it was too late to drag the old man away.

Now that the matter has been discussed, the Chen family and his son have nothing to hide.First, he explained the relationship between his family and the Liu family, and then identified the identity of the book boy.Chen Butou was ready to be punished, but he didn't expect not only not to be punished, but also to be treated with courtesy by the water authorities, and even his younger brother's wish to reopen the Escort was realized. The grandfather offered up as an ancestor.

Xiaomo argued that when the Liu family ransacked the house, he took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the dog hole. He concealed his identity as a fugitive slave and sneaked into a salt merchant named Zhang to continue his work.When Shui Fang heard this, he was full of loopholes. Although the Zhang family was not a family of officials and eunuchs, it was one of the largest families in Yangzhou. How could they take in a servant of unknown origin.It seems that the problem of this family is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After searching along Xiaomo's vine, they found a lot of thieves and mice.This unexpected harvest made Shui Fang very excited, but unfortunately, the Zhen family was not only cunning, but also ruthless in dealing with things. They set fire to a certain salt merchant who had been in contact with their family, and all two hundred members of the salt merchant were buried in the flames. Leave one alive.When Shuifang arrived, there were only ruins and charred corpses left, and all the evidence was burned away.

The emperor looked at Shui Fang's delivery, and Long Yan was furious, so the case involved the Zhen family, and the emperor temporarily kept the Zhen family for other purposes, so he had to wrong the Liu family and deal with the Zhen family's minions first.

Mrs. Liu plopped down on her knees and kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace, then turned around and kowtowed again towards the south, and sincerely saluted Jia Juan, which startled Jia Juan and hurriedly helped her up, No way." "Sister, stop crying." Aunt Li advised Liu Shi while wiping her tears.

"The emperor knew about Sister Li's righteous act of protecting her loyally, and also revoked Sister Li's slave status. From then on, you will have the same status." Seeing that they were crying unbearably, Jia Juan hurriedly talked about another happy event.Aunt Li didn't expect that she would one day become a good man, and now it was Liu Shi who comforted Li Shi.
