[Red Chamber] Jia Huan's Army

The good news that Jia Huan wiped out the pirates in one fell swoop was presented to Mo Lian's case by the hidden guard in the form of a secret letter not long after.Soon, all the court ladies and eunuchs who served Mo Lian closely found that the Holy Majesty was in a particularly good mood today, and there was a little tenderness on his face.They went to Xiao Dezi one after another and asked if there was any happy event recently.Xiao Dezi sent away the court ladies and eunuchs, knowing very well in his heart that it must be the one who won the battle.Thinking about this, Xiao Dezi couldn't help sighing. The Holy One really puts that person on the top of his heart, and only he can affect the Holy One's emotions. It's just such an obvious thing. If the Supreme Emperor finds out, But it's not good.

When Mo Lian was in a good mood, he thought of Xue Pan who was still imprisoned in the imperial prison.So he ordered Xiao Dezi to announce the person in charge of this matter.

"How about Xue Pan's investigation?"

The person who came was the leader of the Xuanjia Guard who was in charge of the prison, and he calmly presented the memorial related to Xue Pan.Xuanjiawei's efficiency is very high. During the days when Xue Pan was imprisoned, all kinds of evil deeds he did from Jinling to the capital have been investigated one by one, and all records have been recorded without omission.

Mo Lian took the memorial, glanced hastily, and had a general idea in his mind.He looked at the silent leader of Xuanjiawei, and asked, "According to the law, how should we deal with it?"

Although Xuanjiawei is not an official of the Ministry of Punishment and is not in charge of punishment, but because he has been in charge of the prison for a long time, the visitors also know a little about it.I saw him calmly said: "My Majesty, according to the law, Xue Pan killed people and bribed officials to avoid punishment, so he should be executed."

Mo Lian remained silent, waiting for someone to continue.

The Xuanjia guard who was in charge of the imperial prison was also a quick-witted person. Looking at the situation, he knew that the emperor didn't want to let go of the Xue family, or even the Jia family who was related to him by marriage.So he paused, then continued to bite the bullet and said: "Jia Yucun, the chief official, accepts bribes and dereliction of duty. He is regarded as an accomplice. According to the law, he should be rode a hundred times and exiled to the North. Moreover, Jia Yucun's appointment did not comply with the procedures. Rongguo Gongfu was involved. Further verification is required."

Mo Lian nodded when he heard what he wanted, and asked, "What about Xue Pan colluding with pirates?"

Xuanjiawei twitched the corner of his mouth secretly, who didn't know that Xue Pan's idiot was stupid, he was unlucky to be caught by pirates, and then he was frightened and confused and talked nonsense, which ruined the big event.As a result, when things came to an end, he was accused of colluding with pirates instead.It seems that the Holy Majesty really does not intend to let the Xue family go.

Although the silent Xuanjiawei slandered, he replied very seriously: "This matter is still being investigated. If it is established, the entire Xue family will be demoted to common people, and adult males will be exiled."

"Investigate thoroughly, check to see if Rongguo and Ningguo are involved."

Xuanjiawei was stunned for a moment, but immediately came to his senses and retreated respectfully following the instructions.He knew that the Holy Majesty did not intend to let the Xue family and the Jia family go.This collusion with pirates, even if it is not true, must be true now, and there can only be one result after a thorough investigation.

Here, Mo Lian convicted Xue Pan with a few words, while the Xue family is still begging everywhere for Xue Pan's matter.

Xue Biao wiped the sweat off his face and entered the door haggardly.He received Xue Baochai's letter, rushed to the capital first, and then started to deal with Xue Pan's affairs.It has been more than ten days since he arrived in the capital, but Xue Pan's affairs have not progressed at all.

"Good boy, do you have any news?" Aunt Xue asked expectantly, with red and swollen eyes, supported by Xue Baochai.

Xue Biao smiled wryly, shook his head, and said: "I have inquired for a long time, and I know that they said that the elder brother colluded with the pirates. It’s just a matter of spending some money. It’s just that it’s locked in the imperial prison, and the person in charge is the Xuanjiawei, who everyone’s discolored, and we can’t even find a way out.”

With tears streaming down his face, Xue Baochai asked, choked with sobs: "How can we not know about my brother's temperament? If you say that you are showing off your prestige to ordinary people, you can believe it, but if you say that you have something to do with pirates, how can you believe it?" ?" And she also got definite information from Sister Feng, knowing that Xue Pan was indeed innocent in this matter.

When Aunt Xue heard this, she was also confused, and cried: "My poor son! Isn't it because someone framed it?"

Xue Biao had a good relationship with Xue Pan when he was in Jinling before, so he also knew that Xue Pan's temperament was the most bullying and fearful, so how could he have the courage to deal with pirates.It's just that now that it's at this point, it's useless to talk more, so he can only run errands and ask more questions.

"Auntie, relax." Xue Biao comforted with a wry smile, "Isn't everything still undecided. I heard that Jia Jialian's second brother is with the elder brother, so I'll go find out more information. If it doesn't work, I can only ask Jia's uncle for help." Helped."

Aunt Xue heard what Xue Biao said, and she couldn't help showing some hope: "What the good boy said is, I will go to Jia's house and ask the old lady for help."

Xue Baochai saw that her mother had finally cheered up, so she didn't dare to say anything to spoil the mood.I had to dress up with my mother, and then went to Jia's house.

Aunt Xue led Baochai into the gate of Jia's house, but her heart was pounding.To say that she just came to Jia's house on impulse, now that she really saw Jia's family, she was full of thoughts and didn't know whether she should say it or not.

Mother Jia looked at Aunt Xue's white hair that had grown overnight, and she couldn't help but sighed, and said, "We've heard about Pan'er, you mother It was hard work too."

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mother Jia bring this up, and wiped her tears and said, "I don't know what kind of temperament our Pan'er is. , I’m afraid there is some misunderstanding. I just hope that it can be untied. It’s just that we are in prison now, and we can’t even go to see it. I don’t know what my Pan’er is going to be like.”

Mother Jia remained silent, and Aunt Xue said anxiously, "Back then when Lian'er and Pan'er went south together, if there was a misunderstanding, it would be good if Lian'er came forward to testify."

Jia's mother had already learned what had happened from Jia Lian. She was glad that Jia Lian didn't talk nonsense, but at the same time hated Jia Huan for not saving any face.Now that the Jia family finally got it out, how could it be possible to go to such a muddy water again? After hearing what Aunt Xue said, Jia's mother frowned, and said: "Lian'er was frightened by those pirates who did all kinds of evil, and she will be seriously ill when she comes back. We had a fight, but now it’s still a little unclear, and we can’t get up at all. We also said that the current year is not good, so we should go to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva.”

As soon as Aunt Xue heard this, she knew that the Jia family wanted to stay out of the matter, but she felt cold in her heart, and she said angrily: "The two children went to the south together, and now something happened to Pan'er, how can you get it out completely? If we really look into it, it’s not that one is prosperous and the other is damaged? Besides, I’ve heard that what they did badly is a major matter of Bao Ning Bo. If they really pursue it, Bao Ning Bo will probably pursue more of your family... "

Mother Jia was still thinking that Aunt Xue was disturbed by her son's affairs and didn't want to pursue it, but when she heard her mention Jia Huan, she couldn't help being angry.Just listen to Jiamu's cold voice: "Is it because of this? Those Xuanjia guards are not vegetarians. There is nothing that should be investigated. Besides, we all understand Pan'er's temperament. With Baoningbo's appearance, I can understand how Pan'er offended him after thinking about it."

Aunt Xue turned pale when she told Mother Jia, Pan'er actually did such a thing?She didn't hear the wind at all.If Mother Jia hadn't said it, Aunt Xue wouldn't have thought of it.Thinking about it this way, Aunt Xue hated Jia Huan again. Such a thing can't be slapped with a single slap, so why would it kill his Pan'er!

When Mother Jia saw Aunt Xue's appearance, she also knew that now was not the time to tear up her face. If she really had an affair with the Xue family, Xue Pan would bite back in prison. Just as Aunt Xue said, the Jia family would not be able to escape. .Thinking of this, she couldn't help but dislike the big house even more. Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu just spend their days and nights in idleness, and their sons and sons are even more useless.Jia's mother softened her tone: "Tomorrow is the day when you can enter the palace to visit. I have already asked the second daughter-in-law to hand over the sign. When the time comes, I will let her enter the palace and tell the empress. Maybe there will be a turnaround."

Seeing that the Jia family was willing to help, Aunt Xue also shut up and said nothing.

The Jia family agreed to help here, and Xue Biao also made some progress there, but this progress might as well be unnecessary.He met Feng Ziying who was with Jia Baoyu.This Feng Ziying can be said to be a famous figure in their circle.Who doesn't know that although the son-in-law of Shenwu General Feng Tang has a bit of a temper, he is loyal, courageous and well-informed, and he is already considered a promising young man in these families.

This is the first time for Xue Biao to meet Feng Ziying. Through Baoyu's introduction, the two became acquainted after drinking a little wine.

"Brother Xue's frowning look, I'm afraid he is worried about your cousin's affairs." What kind of mission is Feng Ziying? From the conversation, he knew that the man in front of him was completely different from Xue Pan. The Xue family's direct descendant is probably someone who can make a difference.Therefore, I am willing to explain it.

Xue Biao drank the wine with a wry smile, and said, "Brother Feng laughed."

Feng Ziying waved her hand and said: "If I tell you, you don't have to worry about this matter. After entering the imperial prison, no one comes out innocent, not to mention innocent, even minor crimes. Those imperial prisons Where is the Xuanjiawei so easy to cheat and buy? You might as well save the money and make plans early."

Hearing Feng Ziying's words, Xue Biao almost couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand. He was shocked and said: "There is no other way?"

Feng Ziying shook her head and said: "I haven't heard of it. There are people in your palace, and you can inquire about it, but if you want me to tell you, there is probably nothing I can do. This is all I can say, and I can't say more about it."

After hearing this, Xue Biao put down the wine glass in his hand, and left in a hurry, regardless of whether he was being rude or not.
