Jia Jing, national teacher of the Red Chamber

The emperor and his entourage returned to the palace again. With this kind of gossip incident, it was still the gossip at the ninth prince's house since the founding of the country. Everyone's hearts were ignited, and it seemed that they were not so tired.

However, the gossip in the Duke’s family is not so pleasant, and you can’t go to the Jinluan Hall to talk about such things. There can’t be so many people standing in the imperial study room, so the emperor’s family, the prime minister and the six ministers, etc., have to In the imperial study room, a small space was carved out with a screen for the Duke of the country, and less than 20 people filled the imperial study room.

Jia Qiang is about the same size as Jia Rong this year, kneeling on the ground and curled up into a ball, looking pitiful, and he has been wandering outside alone for nearly two months. Bu Shen was severely deceived twice.So Jia Qiang, who was kneeling in front of the emperor, was pale and thin, and she didn't even have the confidence to speak.

The emperor leaned towards Jia Jing again, thinking that when he saw Jia Zhen and Jia Rong in Jia Jing’s family, he thought they looked bad. He thought it was because of the national funeral, but now he realized that it was because Jia Jing was killed. Imprisoned, he was bullied by the clan.

Thinking of this, the emperor asked kindly, "Don't be afraid, tell me, how did the Rong family bully the Ning family?" He looked like an elder.

Prime Minister Li's eyelids twitched, and he used bullying in the first sentence, so the tendency is already obvious.

Jia Qiang sniffled, her voice trembling. He kowtowed first, and then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, about 50 days ago, news came from the palace that the Grand Master of the Ning Mansion murdered the late Emperor. Later, the Rong Mansion The old lady and her two sons knocked on the door." Jia Qiang cried twice, and continued: "I was reading in the outer study that day, and I didn't go back to the inner courtyard to sleep because it was too late. When the uncle called, I sneaked out."

"I saw them push the uncle down in the ancestral hall, and the uncle yelled, 'How can anyone let the ancestors out!' Later, the slaves in the house hit the pillars and died, and the ground was covered with blood. I was afraid, so I I ran out." Jia Qiang began to kowtow again, "I sneaked back the next day and saw that the gate of the Ning Mansion was closed, and there were a few servants from the Rong Mansion standing at the door. I was afraid that the Rong Mansion would send someone to find him I hid from the capital."

"Grandpa and Brother Rong are probably in danger!" Jia Qiang's forehead was bleeding, "And my little aunt, who is just over a year old, can call someone just now..." When Jia Qiang said this, it was already I can't cry. "Although I was scared that night and couldn't be with Uncle Rong, but I thought about it for a long time, since I saved this life." A few heads expressed their determination, "I am willing to roll the nail board to report Courtesy of justice!"

There was an uproar, this is life-threatening!

The emperor patted the table twice, and said straightforwardly: "Good! Good! Send someone to bring everyone from the Rong Mansion."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials shouted in his heart that it was not in accordance with the law of officials, but who told him that it was the emperor who spoke.

Eunuch Dai followed Jia Jing and stood behind the screen, tears welling up in his eyes, saying that this family of Rong Engong is really kind and righteous.

The officers and soldiers who went to fetch the people in the Rong Mansion were led out of the palace gate by Master Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of War. It is said that this was killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, but who told the emperor to speak.When he arrived at the Rong Mansion, Master Shang Shu took Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng away without thinking too much, and by the way, randomly arrested a servant from the Ning Mansion and brought them in together.However, everyone in the Rong Mansion has fame and fame, so they are not too unreasonable.

Now the Rong Mansion is in chaos, except for Jia Lian, the rest are all female relatives.But Jia Lian was only twenty, and when he saw the officers and soldiers taking away all the family leaders, he was walking up and down in the main hall of Rongxi Hall in a panic, chattering endlessly.

Later, it was Mrs. Wang who calmed down the crowd with a drink, "Brother Lian took the boy to see the gate and the second gate, so don't panic. Sister Feng and Li Wan, go and detain the mother-in-law and maidservant at home. Don't mess around."

When they arrived at the imperial study, Jia Qiang was still kneeling on the ground.Even someone like Jia Amnesty who doesn't live up to expectations, or someone like Jia Zheng who doesn't care much about housekeeping will know that it's not good when he sees Jia Qiang kneeling on the ground.Jia Qiang is from Ningfu, can you still expect him to say good things?But thinking about what their mother said they had no evidence at all, the two were relieved, exchanged glances, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Jia Mu is old and is a first-rank imperial order, so she got a small bench to sit on.

In front of the emperor, only the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments was on trial.He coughed and said: "Jia Qiang, the descendant of Duke Ning, sued the Rong Mansion for forcing the descendants of Duke Ning to take away the property of the Ning Mansion. You can plead guilty later."

Naturally, I don't recognize it.Both of them shook their heads like rattles. After all, Jia Zheng was an official, a little more courageous than his elder brother. He took the lead and said, "Report in detail by Rong Chen. When news came from the palace that day, Brother Zhen He was worried about his father, so he took his family to look for it, and handed over the Ning Mansion to the ministers to take care of him, how did it become a hegemony today. Your Majesty, please look into it."

"You're talking nonsense!" Jia Qiang didn't care that Jia Zheng was his elder, "Obviously you drove them all out."

Jia Amnesty also reacted at this moment, and continued: "You child, I'm afraid it wasn't because you went out to play in those two days, so your uncle didn't take you with you." Everyone in Rongfu saw that Ningfu was developed. I thought that Jia Qiang was just poked out by Jia Jing and Jia Zhen and his son for a play.

The old lady nodded and said, "We are all surnamed Jia. We thought we were just housekeepers, but now it has become such a disaster."

Jia Zhen was so angry that she came out from behind the screen. He also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said what he said that night again in front of everyone. "I thought everyone was a family. We usually eat the New Year's Eve dinner together. There are many people in Rongfu, and I will send them a piece or two of any income I have in Ningfu. Now that Ningfu is in trouble, who would have thought of the old lady?" Not only did they not help, but they even made trouble, taking advantage of the chaos to drive us father and son out, and forced me to press my fingerprints, and gave them the entire patriarch of Ningfu." Jia Zhen wiped her tears, "Your Majesty is wise, I will definitely be able to help you." Return my Ning Manor's innocence."

Jia Qiang saw Jia Zhen coming out from behind the screen, still wearing official clothes, subconsciously thought they were all right.Kneeling under his legs, he moved a few steps and knelt with him.

Mr. Zhang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, also prefers Ningfu more in his heart.After all, Jia Jing was brought back to the capital on the charge of murdering the emperor. It is understandable that the Rong Mansion wanted to avoid disaster, but this method is really disgraceful.Just now, both parties said it was "that night", but one said that they were kicked out, and the other said that they went to find their father on their own initiative.

"Servant of the Ning Mansion kneeling in the hall, what did you see that night?" Mr. Zhang deliberately used these four words with unknown meanings.

What they captured from the Ning Mansion was only a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. After seeing so many big men, even if he was kneeling there, he could see his legs shaking non-stop.Hearing someone's question, he trembled even more in fright, and stammered: "That night, the house was very noisy, and the yard was lit for a long time, and then I couldn't see the uncle."

At this time, Jia Jing also came out from behind the screen. "Your Majesty, even if my son was worried about me as they said, why didn't they bring Rong'er and Qiang'er to look for her, but only my daughter who is not yet two years old. If it is true what the old lady said, Why didn't my son leave my younger sister in Rongfu?"

Now I can't say anything to refute. Is it too unreasonable to take a girl who is less than two years old on the road?

Jia Jing walked up to Jia Zhen and Jia Qiang, and patted Jia Qiang's shoulder. Jia Qiang burst into tears, Jia Zhen hugged him hurriedly, and she shed a few tears.

The old lady knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said, "Your Majesty, they have no evidence at all!"

The emperor is also a little bit in trouble, although he can almost believe that it is Rongfu who did the crime, but the old lady dares to be so sure, then the evidence must have been destroyed by her.

At this time, behind the screen, Eunuch Dai whispered a few words in Jia Rong's ear, "Go out and cry, saying that the Rong Mansion moved things from you that night." No, there must be a lot of illegal things, and if, as Jia Zhen said just now, he sent a lot of things to Rongfu, wouldn't there be evidence for this search?Even if they can't be convicted of occupying Ningfu's property, they won't be happy if they are convicted of violating the system.

Although Jia Rong didn't understand Eunuch Dai's deep meaning, but seeing that he had a very good relationship with his grandfather, after hearing what he said, she rushed out in a hurry, knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, they couldn't wait to drive me and my father and aunt out that night. I’ve seen them move things from our house.”

"Go and search!" The emperor gave an order, and Eunuch Dai led the people away. Usually, eunuchs would be involved in house raids or searches. This kind of people from the House of Internal Affairs are most familiar with what grades of people should use. .Eunuch Dai took a look at Jia Jing before leaving, Lord, don't worry, if I can't find anything, I will bring some back from your house.

It took most of the day for the funeral of the first emperor in the morning.It was already getting dark outside after hearing the case and going to Rongfu to pick up the person.When the emperor saw Rong Engong's family kneeling on the ground wiping tears, and the three mothers and sons of Rongfu who looked flustered and looked at each other from time to time when no one was paying attention, they really stood out from each other.

While waiting, the little eunuch brought hot water and hot soup to all the adults in the hall. The emperor also said that the ground was cold, and gave Jia Qiang a bench.Poor old lady, she was sitting well, but she insisted on kneeling down by herself, but this time, she could only keep kneeling if the emperor didn't scream.

Eunuch Dai's speed is really amazing. In less than an hour, he brought three big boxes of things back from Rongfu.As soon as I put it in the hall, I started to talk about it one by one, what should be used by the Duke of the country, this is engraved with the name of the Ning Mansion, and I also said that many things are hidden in the decent woman, which is very embarrassing. easy to find.

Everyone in the hall looked at the three boxes of resplendent and magnificent things, and the whispering voice became louder again. It is fine to take away the family property, but they put the things in the mother-in-law's place. There are many imperial gifts in it. Isn't this looking for death?

With a snap, the emperor slapped the paperweight, and the small buzzing in the hall immediately disappeared. "Okay, don't you want to divide the family, divide, I decreed the division, and the division will be from Ning Guogong!" The emperor walked out from behind the desk, "The proposed division will be taken back by Rong Guogong's mansion!" After finishing speaking , the emperor pointed at Eunuch Dai again, "Go, and bring back all the things that are not in line with the rules in their house! Don't keep a single thing!"

Mother Jia turned pale with fright, and Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng hurriedly supported her.

Mother Jia calmed down for a moment, unwilling to reconcile, and wanted to fight for it, so she said: "Your Majesty, when my husband took over the title, the title has not been lowered, and he is also the Duke of the country!"

The emperor was choked, Master Zhang hurriedly said: "When married, obey the husband, and when the husband dies, obey the son. Since you said that you are the first husband, you naturally have to live with your son. The one who inherits the title in the Rongguo Mansion is the Marquis."

The emperor flicked his sleeves angrily, "Marquis? Seize the title!"
