My Dad in the Red Chamber is still alive
Chapter 58
When Mrs. Wang heard that it was the monk with the scarlet head who gave Baoyu the medicine, she was both angry and happy.
What made him angry was that the scarlet monk was insatiably greedy. Back then, he had agreed to a one-shot deal, but after the purchase, he would have nothing to do with it.It's just that he came to the door again and again, and Mrs. Wang could only give him some money under the guise of believing in Buddhism.
Unexpectedly, the monk who killed that day dared to prescribe medicine to Baoyu!If he knew this earlier, he shouldn't have softened his heart at the time. If he had already settled it, why would he stay in trouble until now?
But I heard that Baoyu's stupidity is not a disease, but poisoning, and there is an antidote.There was hope in his heart again, so there was no reason to be unhappy.
This surprise and joy made Mrs. Wang's complexion very exciting.
It's just that this stopped the official messenger, how should I say it properly?
After all these years, Mrs. Wang has become very proficient in business, and she has an appropriate rhetoric when she thinks about it.
"Although the origin of this jade has nothing to do with them, but this time our Baoyu's illness is strange, it is precisely because of the loss of the jade, and the doctor asked for medicine but it didn't work.
Hearing what the two adults said, I thought maybe the monk stole our jade and drugged Baoyu.
Now that our child is seriously ill, there is nothing we can do about it, why don't you ask the two adults to ask the monk to try the antidote.
If it is really effective, wouldn't it just mean that they stole our jade for money and harmed our people?In this way, it will be easy for the two adults to find out the facts of the case. "
Several officials from Dali Temple exchanged glances, thinking: Although this lady does not admit that she bought the jade, it means that she admits that the jade was stolen and that she was drugged.Since the sufferer did not deny it, he had to continue to investigate.
So the leader said: "Since that's the case, let's invite this Second Master Bao to go to Dali Temple with us."
Mrs. Wang was not happy, and looked embarrassed: "Well, you have also seen that he is so sick...can you let that monk come to our house?"
Official: "That's not acceptable. Now that monk is an important prisoner, how can he bring it out privately? If something happens, who will be responsible? Besides, the investigation must be fair. It is against the rules to conduct a private review in your residence."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother turned around anxiously. They wanted the monk to quickly take out the antidote to cure Baoyu, but they were worried about letting Baoyu go with the official.
After all, they are not allowed to show their faces in the lobby like noble ladies in the back house.
Fortunately, at this time Jia Lian received the news and rushed back from the Yamen.
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang watched Jia Lian go with Baoyu with some capable servants in the house, so they felt relieved.
Mother Jia turned her head and asked the maid again: "Where did the old man go? Why haven't you found him yet?"
The servant girl hurried out to ask the boy who passed the news on the second door, and then said back and forth: "It is said that the elder followed others to the suburbs of Beijing to buy antiques, and sent someone to look for them, but because it is too far away, I still have to wait for you." Didn't come back."
Jia Mu slapped the armrest of the chair angrily, and scolded: "This nonsense thing is just a mess on weekdays. It's rare that he's not here when he's needed!"
I sighed in my heart again, it's better to be my own son, but it's a pity that I'm not around.So that I have no one to rely on in my heart when things happen.
But it is said that when Jia Baoyu and his party arrived at Dali Temple, the skinny monk was interrogated again for a while.
The monk insisted that he sold the jade to a woman in the Rongguo Mansion.
Baoyu was stupid, but Jia Lian was not. After listening to the monk's description carefully, he felt very much like Mrs. Wang's companion Zhou Rui's family.Hearing this, he basically believed the monk's words.
To say that this matter had a great impact on him, since Baoyu was born, everyone took the auspicious omen of "born with jade" as the pride of the Jia family, and Jia Lian naturally never doubted it.
Now that he suddenly knew the truth of the matter, he couldn't help but think too much. The Rongguo Mansion was not very prosperous in the first place. With the addition of Jia Zhu, who is no longer here, he only had five young masters. The second room insisted on doing this What is the purpose of this auspicious omen?
Jia Lian thought to herself, most of the time he was still running for his father's title... For a moment, he couldn't help but feel cold, thinking that if this backyard woman becomes ruthless, there will be nothing wrong with men.
Just because Mrs. Wang didn't follow, Jia Lian only said that he was still young and didn't know the details.
Dali Siqing stroked his beard and nodded, then asked about the antidote.
The monk quickly recited a long list of names of medicinal materials, Dali Temple Minister and Jia Lian did not dare to be careless, after all, how can the imported things be casual?
A well-known old doctor in the capital quickly came from here, and Jia Lian also hurriedly sent someone back to the mansion to call the doctor who is often used in the mansion.
For a while, several doctors studied the prescription carefully and confirmed that there should be no problem. Then they ordered people to buy the medicinal materials, and the torment was cured immediately. The servants served Baoyu to drink it.
Baoyu fell into a drowsy sleep for two hours in a small room in the backyard of Dali Temple, and when she woke up again, she was obviously much more conscious.
Others saw that he was awake, but he himself was confused. He grabbed Jia Lian and asked urgently, "Where is this? Why is it here? What's wrong with me?" and so on.
Jia Lian had no choice but to appease him and wait until he went back to elaborate.
Seeing that the antidote was indeed effective, the minister of Dali Temple explained that it was the medicine that the monk gave Baoyu, and ordered someone to take out a piece of beautiful jade handed over by the monk earlier.
Baoyu stepped forward to see, isn't it the jade that he has been wearing for more than ten years?
By this time, everyone understood that it was the scarlet monk who had lost the jade and was stupid.
It's just that it's impossible to tell whether the jade from Jia's mansion was bought or brought from his own womb.
Fortunately, this does not affect other cases, it seems not so important.
Besides, Dali Temple is also willing to sell it to the Rongguo Mansion to save face, so let's pretend that their jade was born by themselves.
For a while, Jia Lian took Baoyu back to Jia's mansion. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were happy to see that Baoyu had recovered.
Just because the scarlet-headed monk said that the medicine should be taken for seven days in a row, Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered people to prepare another six days of medicine.
Although Baoyu was a little more sober than before, he was still confused from time to time. He felt that his mind was very chaotic, and what happened these days was very vague.
But the first thing he has to ask is whether he is really married to sister Lin?
Seeing that he was sober, Jia's mother had to send Baochai back first, and then slowly told Baoyu about his marriage to Baochai.
When Baoyu heard this, it turned out that just like his vague memory, it was not Sister Lin who married Sister Bao, but Sister Bao.
Immediately, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, as if I had lost the most important thing in my life, and when my eyes went dark for a moment, I didn't know anything.
Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu, etc. were in a mess, asking doctors and pinching people at the same time...
After a while, Baoyu woke up leisurely, feeling uncomfortable, but saw Baochai looking at her anxiously beside her.
I felt very sorry for Sister Bao...but I didn't cry anymore.
**
The jade in Jia's mansion was finally found, and Bao Erye's illness gradually improved.
However, outside Jia's mansion, in the entire capital, Jia's mansion has become another fresh topic of conversation after dinner.
Although Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother firmly denied that the jade was bought, although Dali Temple did not say clearly what happened to the jade, it only said that Jia's throwing jade and drugging Jia Baoyu were all done by monks with scarlet heads.
But ordinary people can diverge their thinking, the more they don't admit it, the more they have inside stories.
No, the content of the gossip has changed from the very beginning - Jia Baoyu bought that piece of jade in the first place, and then it has been crooked - Jia Baoyu actually bought it because of the second house...
**
The common people in the capital were discussing in full swing whether the Jia family's jade was bought and survived, and the atmosphere was very relaxed and happy.
However, Dali Temple was not happy at all at this time.
Because with the deepening of the investigation, those team leaders and big team leaders gradually surfaced, and all the clues finally pointed to the Dahuguo Temple in the capital.
The Dahuguo Temple was first built in the former dynasty and has existed for hundreds of years now. It is a royal temple of the imperial court.
It is an imperial monastery frequented by the royal relatives, not to mention the perennial incense, and now the abbot often goes in and out of the palace to give lectures to the empress dowager.
Dali Siqing thinks that this matter may be a bit big, and based on his intuition of handling cases for many years, a bigger conspiracy may be unearthed later.
Therefore, Dali Temple Minister handed a secret booklet to the emperor.
The emperor originally admired the presiding mage of the Dahuguo Temple, but he didn't want this case to be found on him?
The emperor was not stupid, so he quickly wrote a secret decree and gave him a Shangfang sword, ordering Dali Temple to continue to investigate the case secretly.
For a while, the case dug deeper and deeper, and even more than two months later, it was finally verified that this case involved the abduction and trafficking of children by monks and priests across the country, and it was actually planned by the king of Nan'an County.
Moreover, the time span of this case is relatively long, starting as early as more than ten years ago.
Those abducted children are not for selling money, the real purpose is to train them to become agents or killers, and when they grow up, they will use various methods to mix into all walks of life, and even the palace of court officials.
After so many years, the King of Nan'an may now have a huge spy network.
The emperor broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Mi Zhe. Now the king of Nan'an County is stationed in Xihai Yanzi all the year round, holding the military power in his hand.In addition, this one does not know how big the bottom network is...
No wonder the foreign enemies there can never finish fighting, and there is always no serious victory or defeat in the battle.I'm afraid this is because he doesn't want to give up his military power and doesn't want to return to Beijing.
Now that the court is full of people, there are countless officials who have unknowingly placed their spy work in their homes. If the king of Nan'an rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The emperor knew about the ambition of the king of Nan'an County, but what should he do next?The emperor was in trouble.
Now we can't easily scare the snake away. After all, people have already prepared almost everything. If they feel that the plan has been exposed, it's just to act in advance.
Take back military power?
No, it will startle the snake!
Slowly dig out his power little by little?
No, because the net is already very big and deep, even if you don’t scare the snake, the day lily will be cold after digging slowly.
The emperor was so worried that he had to find a few trusted ministers of his own to work together.
Lin Ruhai, Xie Yun, and Xie Zhan are all among these confidantes.
Some people said that a direct imperial decree summoned the king of Nan'an County.
Xie Yun shook his head, "Since he already had the heart of disobedience, he naturally refused to come back easily. It is true that he will not accept the orders of the foreign emperor, and he has many excuses for not coming back."
Someone said, find a way to trick him back.
But what reason can he use to cheat so that he can't be suspicious?
Someone suggested that the king of Nan'an County is now stationed outside with his son, but there is a daughter Mu Yingwan in the family who is raised by Nan'an Princess.
It is said that this Mu Yingwan has already passed Jiji's age, but no one would come to propose marriage and would not marry, except Xie Zhan.
Everyone understood as soon as they heard it, no matter how difficult this Nan'an County King is, his daughter will always return to Beijing when she gets married.
So several pairs of eyes "swish" to look at General Xie Xie Zhan...
What made him angry was that the scarlet monk was insatiably greedy. Back then, he had agreed to a one-shot deal, but after the purchase, he would have nothing to do with it.It's just that he came to the door again and again, and Mrs. Wang could only give him some money under the guise of believing in Buddhism.
