Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Besides, after hearing what Jia Huan said, Yinzhen asked, "The Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River secretly sent a batch of property to Jia's mansion, but it was found out?" Jia Huan said, "It's all found out, Jia Wang's They were all piled up in the dark room behind the Buddhist hall in the Huiyun Hall. The servant counted them, and there were already a lot less, probably pawned by the Jia Wang family. In addition, the servant also found a ledger, please The prince has a look." After saying that, Jia Huan took out an account book from his bosom and handed it to Yinzhen.

In fact, Yinzhen already knew what the account book was, but he took it and looked it over, but he didn't know if he didn't read it, and he was shocked when he saw it.It turned out that the account book not only recorded how much property Aunt Wang embezzled from Jiangnan Zhen's family, but the back of the account book also recorded the collusion between Jia's family and Tiandihui, and how much money was exchanged from it.

After Yinzhen saw it, although he was shocked, his face still had an indifferent expression, as if he knew it long ago, and he only said to Jia Huan: "Is there anything missing?" Jia Huan listened. , hurriedly said: "Go back to the prince, all the properties have been seized, as for the people in this mansion, they have also separated the masters and slaves according to men and women and put them in custody."

When Yinzhen heard the words, he said, "In this case, we will only take those people to the Prison Temple. They are not worthy of living in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Jia Huan agreed, and led a group of soldiers to escort Rong Ning Everyone in the Second Mansion went to the Prison Temple, and only Mo Li, Lin Wenfu and Yinzhen returned to the palace to meet Kangxi.

"Prison Temple" was originally a kind of temple or god's case in the prison, which enshrined the so-called "Prison God", hence the name.When a criminal is first imprisoned, or before he is released after being sentenced, he must sacrifice to the prison god.Generally speaking, before the Ming Dynasty, the "God of Prison" was Gao Tao, and Xiao He was replaced after Emperor Xian Shunzhi succeeded to the throne.

It’s just that the Prison Temple that Yinzhen was talking about didn’t refer to this one, but the largest private detention center under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple. It was specially added, and was later changed to detain prisoners with extremely heinous crimes and low status.Generally, prisoners who have entered this prison temple rarely have a bright future, even worse than Naxinzheku.The reason why Yinzhen imprisoned the Jia family members in the prison temple was to tell them not to expect anyone to save them.

After Yinzhen had copied the Rongning Second Mansion by order, he returned to Kangxi from the palace.After Kangxi took over the copied account book and read the list, he immediately became angry and said angrily: "What a Jia family who claims to be a family of poets, ceremonies, and hairpins. I didn't expect to hide so many dirty things." Dirty things. Fourth brother, you will be solely responsible for this matter to the end!"

Yinzhen agreed and withdrew.He knew that Huang Ama actually did this because several princes in court were also involved. Huang Ama couldn't deal with them personally, at most he could only use the name of disposing of Jia's house to suppress it; On the other hand, Huang Ama wanted to see her abilities and practice herself more.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help feeling a little tired. Recently, Huang Ama's demands on him are more and more like an emperor's standard. I think Huang Ama must have some plans in mind.But fortunately, he has Yu'er, as long as he has Yu'er by his side, he won't feel lonely. For Yu'er, he would not hesitate to stain his hands with blood!

After leaving the palace, Yinzhen went to Daiyu's princess mansion.Seeing Yinzhen coming, Daiyu asked with a smile, "Fourth brother, I heard that you led Huan'er and the others to raid Jia's mansion early in the morning. What happened?" Yinzhen frowned when he heard this, Yin asked: "Yu'er, you never cared about these things before."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Actually, it's not that I want to know, but I just want to ask fourth brother, how did fourth brother arrange his sister-in-law and Lan'er?" Yinzhen said, "Li Wan and Jia Lan are both from the Jia family. The Jia family ransacked the house, and they were naturally sent to the Temple of the Prisoner as well."

Daiyu was startled when she heard the words, and said, "Fourth brother, what did you say? You sent your sister-in-law and Lan'er to the Prison Temple?" We must go and release sister-in-law and Lan'er!"

Seeing this, Yinzhen hurriedly stopped Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, Li Wan and Jia Lan are the masters of Jia's family. Naturally, they will be escorted to the prison temple together for the house raid. They will be sold as slaves after the judgment." It's right and proper. Although you are a princess, you can't interfere indiscriminately and engage in fraud!"

Seeing Yinzhen stop her, Daiyu said anxiously: "Fourth brother, you don't know that sister-in-law and Lan'er are not from Jia's family, but from our Lin family. They are my serious sister-in-law and sister-in-law Nephew!"

When Yinzhen heard the words, he was taken aback for a moment, because he said, "What's going on?" Daiyu said, "The elder brother Zhu who disappeared from the house is actually my late uncle who lost his child since he was born. His name is Lin Jiangyu. Lan'er is brother Jiangyu's son, a direct descendant of the Lin family. My father told me all this. Brother Jiangyu knew that you were raiding Jia's mansion, so he informed me in advance, so that I saved my sister-in-law and Lan'er. I wanted to tell you yesterday and let you take care of some of them, but I didn't know that you entered the palace. I don't like entering the palace, so I can only wait for you in the princess mansion I'm here, but I don't know, you actually..." After saying that, tears started to fall.

When Yinzhen heard this, he realized what a stupid thing he had done. He accidentally offended his future brother-in-law. Seeing that Daiyu was crying anxiously, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart .Because she was busy wiping away Daiyu's tears, she said, "Okay, Yu'er, it's all my fault. You can beat or scold me as much as you want, but don't cry anymore. When you cry, my heart hurts. .”

Daiyu was only worried about the situation of Li Wan and Jia Lan, but for a moment she forgot to be shy, and just kept beating Yinzhen with a Mi Fen fist, saying: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you say, now it's time What should I do? What kind of place is the Prison Temple? My sister-in-law and Lan'er went in, but there is still life left?"

Yinzhen frowned when he heard this, and said: "Now that everyone has entered, it seems that we can only think of another way." Hearing this, Daiyu asked, "What else can I think about now? "

Yinzhen thought about it for a while, and said: "If Lin Jiangyu can go to the Prison Temple to visit the prison in person, recognize Li Wan and Jia Lan back to the Lin family, and let the fourth uncle change the genealogy, it will not be a big problem. Yes. It’s just that my fourth uncle said that Lin Jiangyu is the current censor of Jiangnan Taoist inspector Yan, so I’m afraid that without Huang Ama’s meaning, he would not be able to enter the capital.”

After hearing this, Daiyu smiled a little, and said: "It's okay, because Dad wants Brother Jiangyu's family to be reunited, and because he said hello to the emperor's uncle and asked him to come to Beijing to report on his duties, I'm afraid it's just There are still three days before we can reach the capital."

After hearing this, Xu Zhen smiled and said: "That's good, it saves me from going to the palace again to ask Huang Ama for an imperial edict."

On the other hand, in Yangzhou, Lin Jiangyu received the news that Yinzhen led troops to search the Rongning Second Mansion. She was thinking about Li Wan and Jia Lan, and didn't care about settling the affairs of the family. Hastily rushed to the capital.Just as Daiyu said, within three days, Lin Jiangyu had already appeared in Lin's residence.

"Second Uncle, where is Wan'er, and Lan'er, but they are in Second Uncle's residence?" Lin Jiangyu went straight to Lin's Mansion as soon as he entered the capital, he knew that Yinzhen would definitely not let Li Wan and Jia Lan live in the princess In the mansion, so if you want to find it, you must be in the Lin mansion, so he asked like this as soon as he entered the Lin mansion.The haste between the words shows how much he looks forward to seeing his wife and children.

At that time, Daiyu and Yinzhen were also in the Lin residence, and they blushed in embarrassment when they heard Lin Jiangyu's words.Seeing this, Lin Jiangyu felt very strange, and then heard Daiyu talk about the reason.When Lin Jiangyu heard the words, she only smiled at Yinzhen, "It's not a crime if you don't know it. It's justifiable for the prince of Yongjun to do this."

When Yinzhen heard Lin Jiangyu's words, which were obviously forgiving, he felt a chill in the words, and because he saw Lin Jiangyu's smiling face, as if there was no trace of blame, he didn't take it to heart .He didn't know where the chill came from until the day he married Daiyu.

To express their apologies, Yinzhen and Daiyu followed Lin Jiangyu to the Prison Temple. After all, Lin Jiangyu had not been in the capital for many years, and few people knew him, so it was not easy to enter the Prison Temple. .

Before entering the prison temple, Yinzhen, Daiyu and Lin Jiangyu smelled a stench coming towards them.Knowing that Daiyu is naturally clean, Yinzhen said, "Yu'er, why don't you just sit in the carriage and let Jiangyu and I go in together."

Daiyu shook her head when she heard this, and said: "I am also responsible for this matter. My sister-in-law and Lan'er have suffered so much inside. If I don't pick them up personally, I'm afraid I won't feel at ease." After saying that, he wanted to go in.

Seeing this, Yinzhen sighed, and walked in front, intending to block some of the smell for Daiyu.Daiyu naturally knew Yinzhen's intentions in doing this, so seeing him like this made her heart a little sweeter than eating honey.

As soon as the three of them walked in, the cell boss had already come to lead the way for the three of them.The cold air in this prison temple is quite heavy, so the ground is a bit slippery. If you are not used to walking, you will really fall unexpectedly.But this time, because the cell leader led the way, the three of them walked very safely. After a while, the three of them arrived in front of the cell where the female family members of the Jia family were being held.

Because Jia Lan was young, she was put in the same cell as Li Wan.On the opposite side of them, Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, and Aunt Wang were being locked up. The three of them had already heard the sound of footsteps and the guard calling "Princess, Prince" incessantly, so they knew it must be the person who came. There was no doubt about Daiyu and Yinzhen, but it wasn't until Yinzhen and others approached that Jiamu and the others discovered Lin Jiangyu who had come with her.

"You, you are Zhu'er?" Although Lin Jiangyu had been away from the capital for many years, his appearance had basically not changed much, so Jia Mu and the others recognized it at a glance, but they couldn't believe it, because Jia Zhu Mingming was already dead, and his body had already been buried.

Aunt Wang didn't care whether Lin Jiangyu was a human or a ghost, she just kept shouting: "Zhu'er, I am your mother, you, please save me!" Lin Jiangyu glanced at her in disgust. Aunt Wang asked, "Are you really my mother?"

Aunt Wang shouted: "Of course I am your mother, Zhu Er, please save me!" Lin Jiangyu said: "Unfortunately, my name is not Jia Zhu, but Lin Jiangyu. Besides, you Do you deserve to be my mother, I am the master of the Bannerman, you are just a lowly slave in a coat, now that Jia’s house has been confiscated, you are not even a coat, at best you are a lowly slave!"

Lin Jiangyu's always gentle gaze suddenly became fierce and full of murderous intent. He will never forget that this woman secretly laid hands on him and made chronic sex in his diet. If it wasn't for his close servant Song Ming saw through the mechanism and died instead of him. Now he is afraid that he has already become a dead bone. How can he be reunited with his wife and children today?

So he ignored Aunt Wang and just walked towards Li Wan and Jia Lan's cells.When Yinzhen saw this, he ordered the cell head to open the door. The cell head didn't dare to disobey Yinzhen's intention, so he hurriedly opened the cell door.Seeing Lin Jiangyu, Li Wan burst into tears.

Seeing her mother crying, Jia Lan hurriedly went to wipe Li Wan's tears with her small hands, and comforted her, "Mother, mother, don't cry." Therefore, he looked at Lin Jiangyu with hostility, and stood in front of Li Wan with a small body, with the appearance of "I am here, you are not allowed to bully my mother".Lin Jiangyu was moved so sadly.

"Wan'er, I'm sorry, I came late and made you suffer so much." Suddenly, Lin Jiangyu hugged Li Wan into her arms and said emotionally. "Master, you are really a master..." Feeling the warmth from Lin Jiangyu's body, Li Wan finally confirmed that the person in front of her was her husband Jia Zhu.Suddenly remembering that Jia Lan was beside her, she hurriedly pulled Jia Lan over and said, "Lan'er, this is your daddy, hurry up, call daddy..."

Jia Lan was very smart, he had just heard the conversation between Li Wan and Lin Jiangyu, and he had already guessed that the man in front of him must be his own father, and now he heard Li Wan say it himself, proving his guess was true, At the moment, he was a little happy and a little angry, so it took a long time before he called out: "Daddy..."

Lin Jiangyu could hear the reluctance in Jia Lan's tone, and knew that he had a knot in his heart, but he could understand it. After all, he had "died" for many years and suddenly "lived" again, and he had never treated his children. Naturally, he can understand the child's temper tantrums after being educated, and it will only be later to slowly untie the child's knot in his heart.

Daiyu saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, okay, big brother and sister-in-law, this cell is not a place to talk, if you two have any personal words, we can only talk about them when we go back." stop."

When Yinzhen saw this, he said to the jailer: "The Li Wan mother and son are the family members of Lord Lin, and also the sister-in-law and nephew of the princess's direct relatives. They have only been living in Jia's house, not the Jia family. Wang remember clearly?"

Talking about the ability to tell lies with open eyes, among Kangxi's many sons, if Yinzhen was ranked second, no one would dare to be number one.Daiyu saw Yinzhen's cold and handsome expression, but she didn't even blink her eyelids when she told a lie, she secretly laughed in her heart, sure enough, she did the right thing by letting the fourth brother accompany her on this trip!

The cell boss naturally didn't dare to doubt Yinzhen's words. After all, everyone knew that the prince of Yongjun was nicknamed "Cold Yan Luo", except for Princess Chenyu, who had a cold expression on everyone.In addition, the Lin Mansion has long since announced that it has severed ties with the Jia Mansion. Who doesn't know this person in Beijing, who doesn't know?At this time, the people who can work for the prince of Yongjun and Princess Chenyu to rescue them must be related to Princess Chenyu.

So the prison chief didn't say anything, and said to Li Wan: "Madam, young master, you can go out." Li Wan heard this and glanced at Lin Jiangyu, Lin Jiangyu said: "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's go back Let's talk about it later." He knew that he had too many things to explain to Li Wan.

Seeing that Li Wan and Jia Lan were let out so easily, Mother Jia's eyes flickered. It was a pity that she should have made good use of Li Wan and Jia Lan.Suddenly thinking of Jia Min, Jia's mother said to Yinzhen, "My lord, although the Lin family has cut ties with the Jia family by letting go, it's just that I am Min'er's mother, Yu'er's grandmother, blood relatives, It cannot be cut off, and now that I am in trouble, they do not extend a helping hand, but they have committed unfilial piety among the 'ten evils'!"

Originally, based on Mother Jia's scheming, she would never dare to call herself "old body" in front of Yinzhen, but now she wants to get rid of the crime, she has no choice but to use the word "old body" to imply I am old, so as to arouse Daiyu's sympathy.It's just that in front of Yinzhen, she didn't dare to say that to Daiyu, so she could only speak to Yinzhen to attract Daiyu's attention.

And Yinzhen knew what Jiamu meant, so after hearing this, he just gave Jiamu a cold look and asked, "Is Mrs. Lin really your daughter? You don't know anything about being my king." , isn’t it?” Jia’s mother was startled, thinking to herself that what she did back then was extremely secretive, and Yinzhen would never know about it, so she said, “I am Min’er’s mother! Can such a thing be faked? ?”

After hearing this, Yinzhen sneered, and said, "It seems that you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin. Well, let me remind you that 40 years ago, outside the Town God's Temple, a snowy moon threw knives..." Jia Mu heard that, Immediately shocked, his face kept changing.

But Yinzhen was not interested in watching Jiamu's change of face, so he gently embraced Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, we should go back." Daiyu agreed, put on her hood, and left with Yinzhen up.As for Li Wan and Jia Lan, they took another carriage with Lin Jiangyu back to the Lin residence.

Before leaving the Prison God Temple, Yinzhen gave special instructions to the prison chief, and after hearing Yinzhen's words, the prison chief only said four words, "Don't worry, my lord".As a result, if someone passed by the prison temple at night, they would hear the sound of weeping like a woman from inside.Then within half a month, it was reported that Jia's mother was killed by a ghost in the Prison Temple, bleeding to death from Qiqiao.

After Yinzhen heard about it, he only said one sentence: "Since he was killed by a wronged soul, his body is not clean, so he just took a torn sweep, carried it to the mass grave, and burned it." Mother calculated all her life, but in the end she had nowhere to bury her body, and she didn't even leave her bones after death.
