Old things in the Red Chamber

After Gu Yun got off his horse, he followed the yamen servant and walked forward. Turning a corner, he saw blood on the ground. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, covered his mouth and nose, and took a few steps forward with the hem of his clothes. I saw a familiar person lying in a pool of blood.

Gu Yun turned his head and nodded to Chang Sui.His Chang Sui is the grandson of the old butler of the Lin family.To be more precise, all the servants of Gu Yun's family are his wife's dowry.They were all smart and clever, and the one who followed him out was a bit more transparent than the others. After seeing him nodding, he immediately understood what was going on, turned on his horse, and returned to the city at full speed.

"Tell me again who the hell is it?" Jia Gu just came back, had just changed his clothes and hadn't sat down when he heard a bad news.

"It's the second master Lian, and an adult surnamed Jia. The two of them were intercepted and killed halfway."

Jia Gu's first reaction was, what did my elder brother say, what should I do?

"Hurry up and prepare the car, I'm going to my elder brother's place, let the uncle come back and go outside the city to see what's going on, hurry up and write to Cong'er, ask Cong'er to ask for leave and come back from Jiangnan. By the way, go to the gate of the palace , as soon as their brother comes out, he will go outside the city first."

It wasn't long before Jia Amnesty came home, and as soon as he sat down, he heard someone say that Mr. Wei was coming, so he immediately asked the housekeeper to open the door and welcome him in.He still said politely, "If you have anything to do, you can just ask the junior to go. If you want to drink, you can just say it, and I will go there immediately. Why do you have to run around when you are tired all day?"

Jia Gu took a look at their home and found that Feng Ping and Ping Lang didn't seem to know the news.

After sitting down, he casually asked, "Where did Lian'er go?"

The old housekeeper, Lin Zhixiao, quickly replied, "Today, an adult surnamed Jia, whose name is Huazi Yucun, came to the door. He had a good conversation with our second master. The two of them made an appointment to go climbing outside the city together."

Jia She snorted, "I don't think it's mountaineering, maybe I did something immoral. I came out of the prison today, and I heard those people in the prison talking about Jia Yucun, saying that this is also a wicked thing for eight lifetimes." Son. I heard that the unjust, false and wrongly judged cases from him can fill the lobby of the yamen."

Jia Gu ignored his older brother and instead asked Lin Zhixiao, "Is there no one going out with the two of them?"

"When we went out, our second master wouldn't let me follow," then he gave Jia She an embarrassed look, "They said they were going to climb a mountain, but I heard that they were going to drink outside the city..."

Jia Amnesty was really furious, he patted the table twice, and asked people to bring back Jia Lian's unfilial son.

People can't bring it back.

Jia Gu thought for a while to appease his elder brother, and slowly said this matter, Jia She's reaction was very strong, he lost his eyes and passed out at that time.

Everyone in Jia Amnesty's house turned on their backs, but soon there were cries from the backyard. Wang Xifeng, who has a hot nature, cried and clamored to let him set up a car. She was going to find that bastard Jia Lian.

Jia Gu walked around the main room of their house with his hands behind his back, wondering if the killer came because of Jia Yucun, or because the family attracted a killer?

"Who is it? Who is this group of people going to kill?"

The commotion in the backyard was really unsightly. Jia She woke up from a coma and it was time to light the lamps.Jia Gu didn't leave, and the two of them waited for Jia Xuan and Jia Fang to come back together.

The two uncles and nephews came back in the middle of the night. Gu Yun was on a business trip and had a token to enter and exit the city gate. A group of people returned to the city smoothly. Jia Xuan sent Jia Fang home first, and accompanied him in to say a few words.

Jia Fang's eyeballs were swollen, and as soon as she saw Jia She threw herself into his arms, she began to cry. The grandparents and grandchildren cried for a long time.How his son died, Jia She wanted to know more than anyone else.

"Go to the back and talk to your mother first, and then come to the front after a while. Grandpa has something to ask you."

Jia Fang insisted on going to the backyard with this man.Jia Xuan naturally explained the whole story and assumptions of the matter.

"When we rushed over today, the government was already there. According to the investigation of the scene and interviews with people nearby, some suspects were finally arrested. These suspects are involved in the four palaces."

"So they want to kill Jia Yucun to silence them, and my son was killed by mistake." After Jia She said this, he burst into tears, "I wish I had known that Jia Yucun was a disaster, and I shouldn't have let him in. .He really hurt my son!"

Jia Huan shook his head slightly at his father, and then persuaded his uncle with his father.

Just as Jia Amnesty was persuaded not to continue crying, another burst of crying broke out in the backyard.The women in the backyard said, "Second Mistress insists on going out, but the slaves can't stop her."

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it. There are so many of you, and you can't even stop a woman. What's the use of you?"

Their house was noisy from one night to the next day. Jia Fang sent someone to the palace to ask for leave, and also sent the old housekeeper in the house with a capable servant to ask when the father's body could be brought back.

The family was gloomy, and Jia Lan, who was living under the fence, dared not speak loudly, let alone the servants in the mansion.

Yuanyang found an opportunity to look for Jia Lan with a bowl of white porridge, seized the opportunity, whispered a few words in Jia Lan's ear, stuffed him with something, and came out quickly.

No matter how secretive the matter was, it was still seen by some people.

Liuli, who came out with the old lady, was also working in Jialan's yard. She had agreed to be Baoyu's concubine before, but now that Baoyu couldn't come out, it was meaningless to stay in front of Jialan. After all, Jialan was young. And I'm not young anymore, and I won't have any good fruit to eat after waiting.So Liuli immediately turned to Wang Xifeng and became a pair of eyes in their yard, watching these people for Wang Xifeng.

Such an accident happened to the family, Liuli thought about it, and went to look for Wang Xifeng.

Unfortunately, she met Jia Fang and his sister Qiaoer at the gate of Wang Xifeng's yard.

As a boy, Jia Fang often went out, so she didn't pay much attention to the maids at home.At that time, his sister Qiao'er had a bad impression of Liuli, and when she saw Liuli coming at this time, she couldn't help but frowned and asked her, "It's so late, why is my sister here? But Brother Lan, is there something you need? "

Liuli falters, which makes Qiaoer particularly displeased.Qiaoer blocked the door, preventing her from going inside.

"My mother has been in a bad mood and sick in the past few days. She doesn't want to see people. If my sister wants anything, just tell me. I turned around and told my mother. Naturally, my mother will never forget my sister."

Liuli hesitated for a while before telling Qiaoer about Yuanyang's anomaly.

Qiaoer didn't think much about it at first, and told her mother about it as a joke when her mother was in good health and mood.Who knew, her mother's brows stood on end immediately after she finished speaking, and her crooked appearance disappeared in an instant.The whole person has changed a kind of spirit.

"I don't think this old lady only has a private house of 1 taels of silver. It really is this mandarin duck playing tricks in the middle." She gritted her teeth in the last sentence.

Ping'er was standing in front of them with a baby in her arms, but seeing Wang Xifeng like this frightened her two children, so she quickly put the baby into someone else's hands and sent them out.

Jia Fang and Qiao'er went out the door, looked at each other, and the two siblings entered an empty yard together.

"Sister, have you heard of the old lady's private money at home every day?"

Qiao'er shook her head, "Although I don't know, someone must know, if she hadn't been talking nonsense in the middle, Wujin wouldn't be like this, let's go to Liuli and ask about it carefully. "

Liuli didn't dare to offend Wang Xifeng, and even less dared to offend Wang Xifeng's sons and daughters, so she told the story in a twitching and aggrieved way.At this time, Wang Xifeng had already called Jia Lan to her. The reason was to ask how Jia Lan was doing at home recently.

After Jia Fang knew the reason, she suddenly felt that her mother was hiding many things from herself and her sister.Immediately, she rushed into her mother's yard, trying to interrupt the conversation, but who knew that Jia Lan took out the token and handed it to Wang Xifeng, explaining that the old lady gave her the remaining 2 taels of silver.

Wang Xifeng finally held the 3 taels of silver in his hands. Before he could be happy, his son snatched the token out of his hand and handed it to Jia Lan.

Wang Xifeng immediately scolded Jia Fang, the little white-eyed wolf, but Jia Fang didn't care at all, and La's cousin left the yard.

After such a disturbance, Mrs. Xing, who had been living in the backyard, knew about it and immediately told Jia She. I almost couldn't catch my breath.

The things that I couldn't understand in my heart suddenly became clear.

Jia Yucun was obviously impeached in the court, and was chased by the Ministry of Justice. Jia Yucun is not clean, and there are many people who want to bring him down, especially those courtiers who belong to kings with different surnames. They want to drive Jia Yucun into dust to prove that his testimony is not true at all.If you wait for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest him, it will only be a matter of one or two months. People who want to save the life of a different surname Wang can naturally wait for two months, but the killers who hunted down Jia Zheng's lineage are not at all. He doesn't consider the wishes of those adults, and only completes his own tasks, so he doesn't want to wait for a month or two, and he will kill him naturally if he hits it.

So whether Jia Yucun lost his life because of Jia Lian, or Jia Lian died because of Jia Yucun, the answer seems to be clear to Jia Amnesty at a glance.

"Where is that girl Yuanyang? Tell her to come to me. I have something to ask him."

Mrs. Xing was sitting next to Jia She, and when she heard Jia She's order, she immediately asked her girl to call Yuanyang over.

The maids went away for a while, then came back in a panic, their complexion was particularly bad, and they spoke inconsequentially, Jia She suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.
