Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Huang Shangshu is also an old man, so he guessed it instantly.

"Master Feng is talking about Captain Jia of the Rongguo Mansion?"

Feng Ziying laughed very happily: "I'll just say, smart people can understand at a glance."

Huang Shangshu nodded and sighed: "I have already seen that Captain Jia is very lenient to these fishermen."

Feng Ziying waved her hand: "It's wrong. It's not that he is lenient to the fishermen, but that he is a soft-hearted person. Therefore, if you deal with him, don't worry about being cheated."

Huang Shangshu nodded: "I know this. It is better to solve the problem of the whereabouts of these fishermen at the moment. Otherwise, how long will the day-to-day precautions take? This is only a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days."

Feng Ziying nodded: "Your Excellency's words are very true, but whether the Zhao'an matter can be achieved will ultimately depend on the efforts of you veterans. After all, veterans are looking for the country!"

Huang Shangshu said: "I understand what you mean, please tell Lieutenant Jia, please rest assured, fishermen will never have trouble in our Ministry of Punishment."

Feng Ziying didn't expect that she would win Jia Lian a strong ally by telling the truth.This is why Huang Shangshu had to form an alliance with Jia Lian.

Ever since he agreed with the little leopard to roll nailboards for his mother, he has already met with the Gu family.

Since the sound of Dengwen's drum, unless Huang Shangshu tricked Luo Yi and Mi Shi to death in the lobby and refused to allow them to face the saint, there was no room for Huang Shangshu and the Gu family to reconcile.

Huang Shangshu is now riding a tiger, so instead of being flanked by the Gu family and Jia Lian, it is better to take advantage of the situation to form an alliance with Jia Lian and fight against the Gu family together.Otherwise, if the Gu family is allowed to play around like this, he will definitely be ruined.

But the Xu family was too impatient, so they moved their hands that night.

At first, Huang Shangshu thought that he would have to stay up for several nights to catch the traitor, but the trap he set up worked that night.

Huang Shangshu directly bundled up the people and sent them to Qianqing Palace together with the memorial to Xu's family.

Emperor Qianyuan was furious immediately, the Xu family dared to steal the case file interrogated by the emperor himself, this is Chi Guoguo's provocation!

No wonder the Xu family was impatient.

They were frightened by the news of Ping Anzhou.Especially now that the Holy Majesty's kindness to the queen is getting weaker and weaker, and the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year doesn't even have a face, and the queen is a widow.To make matters worse, none of the eight princes in the palace came from the Xu family.

How dare the Xu family make the slightest mistake?

They must suppress the affairs of Ping Anzhou, otherwise, the Xu family will be in catastrophe immediately.

Unexpectedly, this trick was defeated by Jia Lian's miraculous skills.

Who would have thought that Jia Lian would overhear what he said a few rooms away?

Emperor Qianyuan had endured Empress Xu for a long time.It was Empress Xu who complained to the Empress Dowager in Ningshou Palace these days, openly and secretly, that Emperor Qianyuan did not obey the rules, and did not go to Kunning Palace to stay overnight on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

As a mother-in-law, the empress dowager could only secretly remind Emperor Qianyuan that the rain and dew should not be spoiled every day.It made the harem restless.

Emperor Qianyuan's grievances are deeper than the sea, but he can't say it. Can he say that his waist and abdomen are weak, and he can't do what he wants?

Immediately, I felt resentful towards Empress Xu, so I took turns to drink tea in Concubine De's and Concubine Shu's Palace, but did not go to Kunning Palace.

Empress Xu became more and more impatient because of this, and then a Taoist letter ordered the family to do everything possible to break away from Ping Anzhou.Otherwise, his position is in jeopardy.

Empress Xu especially emphasized that it is best to form an alliance with Concubine Shu's natal family. Empress Xu is a very smart woman. She has already seen that the emperor likes Concubine Shu's mother and son very much.

Although Empress Xu hated Concubine Shu, but when she was about to die, she had to solve her own crisis first in order to seek the future.

Only then did Cheng Engong get anxious, and when he learned that Concubine Shu wanted to win Gu Pei, he could only order the younger generation of the family to go all out.

Unexpectedly, he stepped into Huang Shangshu's cage.

Huang Shangshu didn't use 'block', he used 'sparse'.

The Xu family wanted to steal, so he pretended not to know and let them steal.Then, they were arrested on the spot, and they were sent to the Qianqing Palace with the dossier.

This dossier is the result of the interrogation in the Jinluan Hall. The Xu family is spying on the emperor. How could Emperor Qianyuan not be angry?

That night, Emperor Qianyuan came to Kunning Palace, and Empress Xu thought that Emperor Qianyuan had changed his mind and wanted a harmonious husband and wife.

As a result, Emperor Qianyuan roared like thunder, scolding Empress Xu bloody.

After Empress Xu was scolded by him, she finally understood that her father actually sent someone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to steal the interrogation transcript of Deng Wengu's injustice case.

Empress Xu felt as if struck by lightning, she had already respected the emperor like 'ice', now that something happened to her natal family, wouldn't it make things worse?

The only strategy that Empress Xu thought of was to try her best to prove that she didn't know: "Your Majesty, please listen to my concubine. I accompany you in the deep palace every day. How can I know what the concubine is doing in the deep palace? What about it? Your Majesty, please be aware!"

Emperor Qianyuan also scolded for a long time, and finally figured out a mouthful of saltiness, and snorted coldly when he heard the words: "You better not know!"

Here, the secretary of the Xu family was arrested and was directly thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Xu Langzhong was very smart and did not directly participate in the theft.However, his cousin stole the secret file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, how could he survive?He was directly suspended by Emperor Qianyuan for self-reflection.

Then, Emperor Qianyuan was still furious, and sent someone to Chengen's family to deliver an edict, reprimanding his old father-in-law: the family is not strict, and the Xu family's descendants have misbehaved, and they will be fined for one year.

This is what happened the night before.

The next day, the imperial censors of the entire imperial court felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they shared the same hatred with the enemy, and they participated in the empress's father, Cheng Engong: "Teaching children is not strict, and there is no way to manage the family."

There is someone who steals from the majestic Cheng En Gong's mansion, and the theft seems to be the emperor's confidential files. What kind of behavior is this?

This is a spy in wartime, and it is treason!

Even in a peaceful and prosperous age, it is disrespectful to steal the files of the emperor's interrogation.

Therefore, all the censors unanimously demanded that Emperor Qianyuan punish the Xu family severely.

Emperor Qianyuan had originally intended to suppress the Xu family, so he followed suit.

At this moment, all the officials could see that Emperor Qianyuan hated the Xu family.In an instant, the crowd became angry, and the censors began to attack all the Xu family members.The Xu family has intervened everywhere in the six parts, occupying too many positions.

Zuodu Yushi first attacked Empress Xu's younger brother. His younger brother was a small official and served as a servant in the Ministry of Rites.

Zuodu Censor criticized Xu Yun face to face, spitting on his face: "There are thieves in the dignified Cheng'en mansion, what face does Xu Shilang have to be shy as the servant of the Ministry of Rites? If it were me, I would have given up the crown and begged to leave." Now, where is the face to meet the saint?"

Xu Shilang didn't make any excuses. He can't deny that a family member has committed such a scandal.

Immediately, Xu Yun took off his black gauze hat and knelt down in the hall according to the request of the imperial censor, "I am not strict in governing the family, and I have no face to be an official in the court. Please resign from the post of minister of the Ministry of Rites. Your majesty please allow me!"

Emperor Qianyuan looked at this brother-in-law and just sighed, but this Xu Yun was the clear stream of the Xu family, he was handsome and talented, he was always clean and self-disciplined, and he didn't like to be contaminated by the family's favor.He was Empress Dowager Xiaohui's favorite nephew.

Emperor Qianyuan stayed and said: "It is their duty for the imperial censors to participate in the performance. Xu Shilang just argues with them if he has a grievance. Why should he act arrogantly and resign in the palace?"

With the current body of Emperor Qianyuan, he doesn't want to change the queen for the time being, and it will be more and more difficult to serve a new queen.For the Xu family, he was going to punish the Xu family with small punishments, but that's all.

After all, the dossier was not stolen.

Seeing his son's resignation, Cheng Engong was heartbroken, especially for others, his eldest son was admitted step by step by himself.

After more than ten years of studying hard in the cold window, I can't just be abused like this.

Xu Yun is the hope of the Xu family!

He suddenly became angry, and jumped up and quarreled with the censors: "You accuse the old minister of lax family management, and the old minister admits it. After all, I recommended Xu Cheng to be an official. I don't know people clearly, so I accept the punishment. However, my son took the imperial examination When you become an official, the Beijing police are excellent every year, so why can't you be an official?"

The censor of Zuodu spat: "Things flock together, and groups are divided by species. Your Xu family has produced a gentleman of Liangshang. There is no guarantee that you will not be able to rise to the next level, and ten or eight more will come out?" Official, instead of discussing whether he is a favor or an imperial examination. Please Cheng En just respond to the question face-to-face, and don't confuse the public by rambling.

Excuse me, Cheng Engong, do you know what responsibilities the officials of the Ministry of Rites have?

If you don’t know, I’ll tell you without hassle, please listen.The Ministry of Rites is in charge of Jiali, military ceremony, management of academic affairs, imperial examinations and other affairs. Xu Yun, who came out of the door of theft, has what qualifications to be in charge of Jiali and military ceremony?

"Especially the management of academic affairs and the imperial examinations, which involve tens of thousands of scholars in the world. The Xu family is a gentleman in the Liang Dynasty. How can they have the face to teach the students? Teach them how to guard themselves? Or teach them to provoke the imperial power?"

The imperial censor Leng Qing was busy helping: "Yes, scholars are role models for the world, and pillars of the imperial court. You can't miss the important affairs of the country because of your Xu family's selfishness."

Cheng Engong was so angry that he almost fainted.

He didn't wash away the imprint of stealing from the Xu family, but was charged with the felony of provoking imperial power.

He tried his best to defend himself and said: "Xu Cheng committed a crime by stealing the dossier. We admit it. We should be killed and scratched. We have no complaints. But, you can't talk nonsense with red lips and white teeth. When will our Xu family provoke the imperial power?"

Zuodu Yushi sneered: "The crime of stealing the royal property is heinous, isn't it a challenge to the imperial power?"

Cheng Engong roared: "When will my Xu family steal the royal property?"

The censor poked the file in front of Cheng Engong: "The case file of the emperor's trial, isn't it the royal family's thing, but your Xu family's thing? Oh, I understand, no wonder that Xu Cheng dared to break ground on the emperor's head, But it turned out that you, a shameless bastard, taught me."

Cheng Engong cursed angrily: "You little bastard is too deceitful!"

Zuodu Yushi snorted coldly: "You are old and not ashamed. You don't cultivate your personal morality, your family education is not strict, and your nephew steals. The crime is unforgivable. What face do you have to argue here? If I were you, I would be ashamed to death I already found a hole in the ground to bury myself, and when I'm done covering up my shame, how can I show my face around? You think that your Xu family's reputation is not bad enough, so you want to come out to spread the smell?"

When Cheng Engong heard the words, blood rushed to his head, his eyes blurred, and he looked up and fell down: "I am so mad..."

All the civil and military officials in the Golden Luan Hall were stunned.

Cheng Engong was scolded to death?

Emperor Qianyuan was also frightened, and hurriedly ordered: "Call the imperial doctor!"

A smoky verbal battle had to end because Cheng Engong fainted.

Lengqing Yushi muttered to himself: "Is this a defeat? I still have a lot to say!"

Zuodu Yushi patted him with a smile: "There will be more opportunities like this in the future. Cheng Engong was originally just a person with mediocre intelligence, but because of his beautiful daughter, he was favored many times and climbed to a high position." .When you meet those people who have reached high positions with real skills, you will find that they are talented, quick-thinking, citing extensively, and sharp-tongued, and they are the most difficult people to deal with."

Here, Jia Lian learned that the Xu family was in a state of desperation, but there was no one to talk to the Gu family, so he suddenly felt that this Cheng Engong was not someone to be taken lightly.

He seemed to be suppressed by everyone in the court, and was pointed at his nose and scolded until he passed out. In fact, he was begging for mercy to the emperor.

the next day.The emperor called Daqi, and announced in court that the empress would be grounded, and Cheng Engong would fine her for one year.

Xu Yun, the eldest son of Cheng'en Gong's mansion, dismissed the title of minister of the Ministry of Rites, and relegated from Beijing to Nanzhao to serve as magistrate.

The Xu family's second bedroom uncle, Xu Zheng, who was also a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment, was directly dismissed and returned home.

Emperor Qianyuan didn't say that he would never be hired, but the Xu family's problem of stealing made the six yamen dare not take him in.Stealing a dossier can be big or small, needless to say, if it is small, it can kill someone if it is big.

Like the last time when Jia Lian asked Luo Shicheng to secretly check the files, Jia Lian was looking for the mortgage seal of his ancestors, not spying on the yamen and the tide hall.Luo Shicheng arranged with him conveniently, and it was not a private action. He only checked for Jia Lian after seeking the consent of his superiors.

The Xu family spied on the emperor's case file, which was to spy on the emperor's secrets. It would be polite to say that he was disrespectful, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was rebellious and treasonous, which is a capital offense.Who dares to bring such a scourge into the door?

Therefore, unless the nephew of the Xu family becomes the emperor, the children of the Xu family will stay dormant for at least 30 years, and they will not be able to enter the court until all these old people retire and everyone forgets about them.

Otherwise, if someone said a word, if you don't want to be with the gentleman on Liang, you will be skinned. What kind of official are you still doing? How can you have any face?

The Xu family's reputation is considered a bad street.

Of course, the Xu family's children can also learn from Xu Yun and send them out to remote and closed places that others don't want to go to be petty officials.

However, in this theft incident, although Emperor Qianyuan did not follow the intention of the courtiers and labeled the Xu family as a rebel, the Xu family also suffered heavy losses.

Not only did the Xu family lose their important official positions in the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites, but a distant nephew of the Xu family who was a doctor in the Ministry of Officials was also pushed out to Taipu Temple to become a Yuanwailang.Another cousin, who was a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, was sent to accompany the capital Jinling.

In short, the officials of the Xu family in Kyoto were marginalized together.

Jia Lian was very disappointed after reading the mansion newspaper. The Xu family was hurt, but the Gu family he deliberately targeted was as stable as Mount Tai.

Compared with the Xu family, Jia Lian hoped that the Gu family would be unlucky.

Jia Lian was deeply disturbed by this, and thought, this is not going to work, he has to find a way to get the Xu family to push the Gu family out, so as to make way for the next wave of blowing Gu Pei down.

What can stimulate the Xu family?

Nothing can stimulate the Xu family more than the incident in Ping'anzhou.

The Xu family's forbearance was just to get out of the rebellion in Pinganzhou. What if he could expose the collusion between the Xu family and Pinganzhou in advance?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian immediately wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng, and then sent it to Ping'anzhou in an expedited six hundred miles through the special channel of his father-in-law Wang Zisheng.

Afterwards, Jia Lian kept lurking in the Wufeng Building, but he never caught any useful news, not even the history of the Chief of the Zhongshun Palace mentioned by Jia Yun.

Jia Lian's backtracking action is temporarily at a standstill.

Just like that in silence, the time has come to the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

Li Mingtang, his wife and Mi Huaishan's family went to Beijing.

On that day, the hall was extremely lively. Emperor Qianyuan did not come in person, but sent the eldest prince to supervise and interrogate him on his behalf.

The eldest prince practiced in Xishan a few days ago, and entered the battalion for the first time as the captain of the shotgun battalion. Now he has been promoted to the chief because he won the selection competition where the chief was vacant.

Jia Lian also practiced in Xishan, but the two were famous but never met.Furthermore, Yu Liuyue has a deep connection with Jia's mansion, and subconsciously regards Jia's mansion as her natal family.

Therefore, the eldest prince was also very polite to Jia Lian. Today, when the trial was held, Jia Lian, as an official who suppressed the bandits, attended the hearing. Although the eldest prince did not speak, he bowed his hands to Jia Lian in the hall.

Jia Lian also bowed his hand and returned the gift as a greeting.Just as Jia Lian was about to sit down, someone pulled down his sleeves suddenly. When Jia Lian saw that it was Feng Ziying, she couldn't help but sneered, "Old Feng, you've been busy recently, you are everywhere?"

Feng Ziying laughed dryly: "My brother will know my benefits later."

Jia Lian was full of suspicion, but he was in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so he couldn't say much.

For a while, three officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate took their seats.

The interrogation begins.

The court ordered to bring witnesses.

Mrs. Mi went to the hall, and when she saw the haggard Mi, she cried: "Chier!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

The several hall officials couldn't bear to interrupt their mother-daughter recognition, and when they started talking normally, Huang Shangshu slapped the gavel: "Quiet!"

The Mi family and the Mi family husband and wife are busy silence.

Mi Shi returned to the hall and knelt down. Mi Huaishan and his wife had meritorious deeds, so they didn't need to kneel down.

Li Mingtang and his wife are also famous and ordered, and they also stood aside to listen to the trial.

Huang Shangshu first asked: "Mr. Mi, Mrs. Mi, this woman in the hall calls herself Mi Shi, and she is your biological daughter. Can you recognize it?"

Mrs. Mi hurriedly replied: "My lord, this little woman is the daughter of my wife."

Mi Huaishan also admitted Mi's identity.

Huang Shangshu nodded: "Stand aside!" He then ordered the Yatou: "Sit with them!"

Huang Shangshu patted the gavel again, and asked, "Li Shaoqing, this woman claims to be your married wife. She accused you of killing your wife and son 15 years ago. Can you plead guilty?"

Li Mingtang glanced at the Mi family briefly, and then shook his head: "My lord, I don't know this person, and my first wife was buried in the Yangtze River 15 years ago. All my relatives and neighbors know about it. Come kill your wife and son?"

The imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate interjected: "Li Shaoqing, you have heard the words of your father-in-law and mother-in-law. They all recognized Mrs. Mi as their own daughter. What is your explanation?"

Li Mingtang smiled: "I think it's because my father-in-law and mother-in-law have been missing him for many years, and there may be some temporary mistakes."

Mrs. Mi was immediately annoyed when she heard the words: "Son-in-law, you must speak according to your conscience!"

Huang Shangshu was stunned: "Quiet, I didn't ask. People in the hall are not allowed to make noise. Mrs. Mi, I have mourned for you for many years. I forgive you once. If you make noise next time, you will be severely punished."

Mi Huaishan hurriedly clasped his hands in thanks, and went to comfort his old wife.

Huang Shangshu turned around and asked Mi Shi: "Mi Shi, Li Shaoqing said he didn't recognize you, do you have evidence to prove your identity?"

Mi Shi was silent, her marriage certificate was kept by Li Mingtang, and the betrothal gift for her marriage fell into Jiangxin.

Jia Lian frowned, this Mi family can't have an accident, and she still has to testify to crucify Gu Pei?

Suddenly, Jia Lian saw the little leopard and turned Feng Ziying's arm.

Feng Ziying suddenly sneered: "Isn't the boy kneeling in the hall the evidence?"

Mi Shi woke up like a dream: "Please allow the adults to let the children stand up and testify."

Huang Shangshu smiled: "Yes!"

Little Leopard heard the words and stood side by side with Li Mingtang.

At this time, there is no need for Michael Mie to say anything more, everyone in the hall has already reached a conclusion.

This little leopard looks like his father, except that he is stronger than Li Mingtang, and his complexion is darker than Li Mingtang because of years of hard work. His facial features are exactly the same as Li Mingtang's, but one face is pale and gloomy, and the other is full of vigor.

Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wang, saw the face of the little leopard, and suddenly became mad with jealousy. His son, Xiao's mother, was criticized by his mother-in-law and sister-in-law for many years because of his premature birth.

As long as Wang's nails get into the flesh, she is jealous and hates the little leopard. She is jealous that the little leopard looks like his husband, and hates that the little leopard made her make a fool of herself last time!

Huang Shangshu didn't comment either: "Li Shaoqing, do you have anything to say about this son?"

Li Mingtang really wanted to deny it, but the sarcastic eyes of Little Leopard made him unable to speak.

In Li Mingtang's mind, he was thinking about ways to get out. If he recognized Little Leopard, it would be tantamount to admitting that he killed his wife and son in the first place.I don't recognize the little leopard, the appearance of this little leopard is exactly the same as he was carved out, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell it at a glance.If he denies it again, it is tantamount to slapping his mouth.
