Deng Wengu sued the imperial court, which was something Jia She had always wanted to do during his lifetime, but he never succeeded.Jia Lian felt that, as a son of man, he should do his best for his father, at least to fulfill Jia Amnesty's last wish!

Things got bigger.

Ordinarily, the most indispensable thing under the emperor's feet is dignitaries. Like Jia She, who only has a title of first-class general in name, it is really nothing.But let him die so heroically?First, the family was forced to separate years ago, and the eldest son, who is also a Xijue, took his family and left the ancestral house that had been staying for decades.This was already a big news, but later, because of Lin Ruhai's family property, it overwhelmed the farce of the division of the Rongguo Mansion.But now, Jia Amnesty has another accident, and it is said that it was caused by giving up the title.

Jia Amnesty's mansion had already reported to the officials, and Jia Lian went outside the palace in person. With his vain title of five-rank acquaintance, he would never be able to see him today anyway, but who made him fight to go out and report to the imperial court? ?When I send someone to inquire today, come on, it turns out that he is the eldest grandson of the late Rongguo Mansion Jia Daishan, and he is also the cousin of the concubine Xiande who is very favored in the palace these days.

For a while, the news that Jia Amnesty was forced to death by his younger brother spread in and out of the capital.

During his lifetime, Jia She didn't do anything good. When he was young, he might be quite well-known in the circle of dandies. After all, he was the eldest son of the Duke's mansion, and he married the eldest daughter of the famous Zhang family.But when the Zhang family fell, Jia Daishan passed away, and the Zhang family was gone, gradually, the name Jia Amnesty was no longer mentioned.

Who would have thought that after his death, Jia She's name would spread wildly in the streets and alleys of the capital, even the high gate compound, and even the palace, would have his presence everywhere.

...Although he is no longer alive, there are legends about him everywhere.

"Have you heard? The Elder Master of Rongguo Mansion was pissed to death by the Second Master! It is said that the blood spurted out for two miles, and the mansion was covered in blood, and the smell of blood spread several streets away."

"You don't know why you are so angry. It was the second master of Rongguo Mansion who beat the elder to death for his family property. I heard that the death was terrible, bloody and bloody, and he didn't even have a human figure. Sigh , This is still a rich family, and they didn't fight for money."

"It's only the rich who do this. There are several 10 taels of silver in their house!"

"What nonsense, do you know who the Rongguo Mansion is? It's the Duke's Mansion! It's worth 10 taels...Are you stupid? I heard that when their family married their daughter, the dowry money was more than this amount!"

"day by day!"

For ordinary people, the name Jia Amnesty had never been heard of before.But even so, it did not prevent them from gossiping in the slightest.Although all sources of news are a mystery, since everyone pretends that the news they have received is first-hand news, not a few people believe it.However, for the common people, the matter of Jia Amnesty is at best a topic of conversation after dinner. After all, the life of the rich and noble is too far away from them.

But for those who have met and even had a little friendship with Jia She, it seems like a thunderbolt.

When Jia She was young, his reputation was not very good. When his father was gone, his original wife would be gone, and he would only be left with a notoriety of being greedy and lustful.To be honest, this kind of reputation is not particularly bad for a son of a wealthy family.After all, Jia She's greedy drinking doesn't hinder others, and his lust is only aimed at the maids in the room, or women on certain romantic occasions.To put it bluntly, he did not burn, kill or loot, and he did not occupy the official position to irritate others. Even in the past two years, he almost never went out, and even if he wanted to spread hatred, he had nowhere to go.

Another one, wealthy families are always more likely to get some extra news than ordinary people.

For example, Jia Amnesty was extremely opposed to the separation of the Rongguo Mansion.Only because of his filial piety to Jiamu, he had to reluctantly give up the Rongguo Mansion, and left quietly with his own family.

Another example, in fact, Jia She has already agreed to the granting of the title, regardless of whether it was sincere or not, what is known now is that the original copy of the title was indeed found in Jia She's study, but it has not yet been handed over. .

For another example, the ancestral house and the title were given up, but Jia Zheng was still not satisfied. What Jia Zheng wanted was all of the Rongguo Mansion, including Jia Shen's little money for settling down the family.

Slowly, more and more news came, and even the main hall of Rongguo Mansion was occupied by Jia Zhengyifang, while Jia She, who had inherited the title, was forced to live in a corner for decades.Also, the number of supervising students that belonged to the big house at the beginning was inexplicably given to the eldest son of the second house.

As the news from outside became more and more intense, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion naturally couldn't bear it any longer.

In Rongqing hall, mother Jia fainted immediately after hearing about Jia She's death, and was so sick that she couldn't get up.It is true that out of all the statements about Jia Mu's preference for Jia Zheng, nine out of ten are true.But it has to be denied that Jia's mother also cares about Jia Amnesty.As the so-called deep love and deep responsibility, if Jia She hadn't been the eldest son, but didn't know how to make progress, Jia's mother would not have pinned all her hopes on the second son Jia Zheng in extreme desperation.In fact, which mother does not want her children to be happy?Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, most people can't keep a bowl of water level.

"Yuanyang, what's going on outside? Is Zheng'er back?"

On the sick bed, Mother Jia looked sick, but she still insisted on asking about the latest situation of the case.Following Jia Amnesty's death, Jia Lian filed an imperial complaint, and Jia Zheng was inevitably imprisoned as the number one murderer in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

To be honest, this case is not difficult to solve at all. There is a motive for the murder and there are witnesses. You've seen it all, it's almost a done deal.Of course, it's not too difficult to reverse the case. It's a family matter to bite him to death, and then Jia Lian will withdraw the case. After a few years, the rumors will gradually subside.After all, in the capital, there are too many strange things, and the younger brother is mad at the elder brother...isn't it weird?

"If you go back to the old lady, the master hasn't returned yet." Xu Yuanyang's complexion is also very ugly because of taking care of Jiamu all night long.Of course, compared with Jiamu, Yuanyang just has a bad complexion.

"Zheng'er...this can't be done by Zheng'er, absolutely impossible." Jia's mother was lying on the sickbed, crying, but she still insisted on defending Jia Zheng.From her point of view, Jia Zheng is very good, and even if he does something wrong occasionally, it is because of Mrs. Wang's instigation.But on this matter, even though Jia's mother wanted to vent her anger on others, she couldn't find an excuse, so she had to keep repeating that Jia Zheng was innocent.

As Yuanyang listened, she couldn't help showing a trace of sadness on her face.

Fortunately, Jia Amnesty is already dead, otherwise how sad would it be to hear Jia Mu's words?To be honest, Yuanyang doesn't have a good impression of Jia She, mainly because Jia She has a very old-fashioned feeling, and he also instinctively feels superior to the maids, every time he sees Yuanyang and others , either with a teasing meaning, or from the bottom of my heart, I don't like it.No one would like that taste.But even so, if everyone is dead, the mandarin ducks will inevitably feel a little bit sad when the rabbit dies and the fox dies.

Jia Amnesty is still Jia Mu's biological son, and now the evidence is clear, but Jia Mu insists that Jia Zheng is innocent.In other words, Jia Amnesty died in vain, at least in Jia's mother's view.

"Yuanyang, you go, you go and call Lian'er, Brother Feng and Xing. Call them all, I have something to say to them, you go!"

"Old lady, we have been invited countless times in the past few days. Lai Da's leg is almost broken, but Second Master Lian doesn't want to come over!" Even she herself understands that Mother Jia at this time can't listen to any reasoning.

"You go, you go in person." Jia Mu's eyes were already extremely dry and cloudy due to crying too much, even so, she still looked straight at the mandarin duck, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Come on. Lian'er comes to see me, or I'll sue him for being unfilial!"

Yuanyang sat on the ground decadently, without saying a word.

It seemed like a long time later, there was some noise from outside, and after a while, a little maid opened the curtain, quietly poked her head in and said, "Sister Yuanyang, Miss Lin is asking to see you outside."

"Let her in, come in!" Before Yuanyang could open her mouth, Jia Mu hurriedly said.The little maid immediately retracted her head, and after a while, opened the curtain again.

Daiyu came over.

"Old lady..." She shed tears before saying a word, and Daiyu's face was full of sorrow, but she didn't know whether she was grieving for Jia She's death, or worried about Jia's mother who had fallen ill, or simply never Coming out of the grief of losing a father.

"My Yu'er!" Mother Jia struggled to get up, hugged Daiyu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, into her arms, and said with tears in her eyes, "Good Yu'er, do grandma a favor, go to the house of your second elder brother Lian , Let him come over to see me, okay? Otherwise, I beg you, Sister Feng. I want to see them, I must see them, Yu'er!"

After Jia's mother finished speaking, she looked up and saw Daiyu's hesitant expression. She felt pain in her heart and cried, "Yu'er, if you don't even help grandma, what can I do? , I want white-haired people to send black-haired people, but even my grandson and grandson-in-law don’t want to come to see me, so what’s the point of my life? Old man, why don’t you just take me away?”

"old lady!"

Seeing Mother Jia crying and holding her breath, Daiyu was so frightened that her face paled.The mandarin ducks on the side hurried forward, stroked their chests and patted their backs, and occasionally poured a pot of ginger tea, which made Jia's mother wake up faintly.

However, as soon as Jiamu woke up, she looked for Daiyu with her eyes, her face was filled with sadness, and her eyes were full of pleading.

"Old lady..." Daiyu opened her mouth, and finally nodded with tears, and said, "Daiyu just promises you."

The Qingbu mule cart stopped at the gate of Jia She's Mansion, and a woman wearing a cap got out of the mule cart, surrounded by several maids and women, and walked into the gate of the mansion very quickly.

Because of the funeral, the door of the mansion is wide open.However, there are not many people who really come to express their condolences.Firstly, it was because Jia Amnesty didn't have many relatives and friends, and it was the first month of the year.Secondly, Jia Amnesty's death has not yet been settled. If the superiors quietly wiped out the matter for the sake of Jia Zheng's honesty and integrity, wouldn't the Rongguo Mansion be displeased by coming to express condolences?

All kinds of reasons are intertwined, which directly lead to the deserted and sparsely populated.

However, there are things that should be there for funerals, and everything is neatly arranged in the mansion.There are two big white lanterns outside the gate. Although there is no inscription on the plaque, a white curtain is hung.When I entered the front yard, it was even more plain, without any atmosphere of Chinese New Year. Coupled with the faint sound of real crying, it was inevitable to feel a little sad.

Lin Zhixiao's family stood in front of the Hanging Flower Gate. She knew Daiyu's maids and mothers, and after hearing the porter's reply, she rushed to meet her, but she didn't lead her to the mourning hall. It went directly through the Chaoshou verandah, and went to the second east room in the second courtyard.

"Grandma, it's Rong... Miss Lin is here."

Ever since Jia She passed away, Rongguo Mansion has become a taboo term.Of course, the masters didn't explicitly say that the subordinates are not allowed to mention this word, but those stewards who will come to the matter have reminded them one by one, and they only said that no one is allowed to mention Rongguo Mansion until the matter is clear.

What an astute person Daiyu is, she immediately understood what Lin Zhixiao's family had to say, kept this firmly in her heart, and then followed Lin Zhixiao's family into the east ear room.

The east ear room of the main courtyard was never inhabited.The East Wing next to it used to be occupied by Yingchun and Xichun, but after Jia She's accident, everyone except Mrs. Xing moved to the last courtyard.Today, Qiaojie and Ronggeer both live in the East Wing, next to Yingchun and Xichun.The west wing room was temporarily vacated, and the side room was given over to Cong'er.Fortunately, Yingchun is old now, even if Mrs. Xing gets sick, Yingchun can take good care of the others, and even Xichun can help a little, which makes Wang Xifeng a little relieved.

But the main courtyard and the front courtyard were completely out of control because Mrs. Xing fell ill.As a last resort, Wang Xifeng moved to the east ear room of the main courtyard to live temporarily, so as to handle various matters conveniently.

"Daiyu has met Sister Feng."

Originally, Daiyu planned to call Lian's Second Grandma, but then she remembered that Wang Xifeng had told her before, telling her not to see outsiders, and just call Sister Feng.Although it has been almost two years since this happened, Daiyu still remembers it in her heart.

Wang Xifeng walked from the inner room to the outer room. Seeing that it was Daiyu, she let out a long sigh before she could open her mouth. Then she took Daiyu to sit down and said, "How is Sister Lin? Speaking of which, since we parted the year before last, I have been separated from you." It took nearly two years to see Sister Lin again."

"Sister Feng." Daiyu saw that Wang Xifeng's complexion was pale, and she had completely lost the demeanor she had when she first met her. She felt a pain in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes, and said mournfully, "Sister Feng, please express my condolences."

"I asked you to persuade me." Wang Xifeng smiled wryly. Lin Ruhai passed away on the third day of September last year. Although it has been another year now, to put it bluntly, from September last year to the first month of this year, it was only five months Less than time.How could the pain of losing a father be healed in just a few months?What's more, for Daiyu, Lin Ruhai is not only her father, but also her only real relative.

"Life is a matter of life and death, but I've already seen it." Daiyu put away her mournful expression, but some emotions don't exist if they don't express themselves.

Wang Xifeng didn't poke it out, but nodded in agreement, and said, "Did Sister Lin come here specially to express condolences? Or..."

"I wanted to see the Elder Master off, but the old lady did ask me to bring a message to Sister Feng." Knowing that Wang Xifeng couldn't hide this matter, Daiyu simply didn't hide it.Just to be honest, she really couldn't accept Jia's mother's actions, even if Jia's mother was her grandmother, she still couldn't agree with her.Therefore, he just sighed, "The old lady said that she wanted to see the eldest lady, or the second elder brother Lian and sister Feng. But I thought, since the house is so busy, if I go back and learn from the old lady, the old lady will come if I want to." Wouldn't mind."

Daiyu was also kind, and she felt sad when she heard some words. If it fell into the ears of Jia Lian and others, wouldn't it hurt her heart even more?Another one, Jia Mu is Jia Lian's grandmother after all, if the trouble is too ugly, Jia Mu will feel uncomfortable, but as a junior, can Jia Lian feel better?

"My sister is also kind, I'm afraid some people don't appreciate it."

After all, Wang Xifeng turned her head and told Zijuan to leave the clothes on the other side of the Rongguo Mansion, which cannot be completely dried, especially now that the matter has not yet been clearly concluded. , are related to the qualitative nature of future cases.

That being the case, she must add fuel to the flames.

The clothes for going out were ready soon, and because of the importance of filial piety, Wang Xifeng didn't wear any hairpins, but just put a white silk flower in her hair bun.After tidying up, Wang Xifeng came out and said to Daiyu, "Sister Lin, I will take you to kowtow in front of the master's mourning hall. After all, you are also his only niece."

In the mourning hall, Daiyu naturally burst into tears again. Even though she was not familiar with Jia She, she knew that Jia She confronted Jia Zheng in order to keep the money that belonged to her.Sometimes, Daiyu can't help being suspicious, is it true that Jia Amnesty will not die after the Lin family's property falls into the hands of the Rongguo Mansion?Even if there is no other evidence, just thinking about it makes Daiyu feel guilty.

Fortunately, Wang Xifeng saw that something was wrong, so she hurriedly helped Daiyu up, and the two of them sat in the same car and went to Rongguo Mansion together.

On the way, Wang Xifeng also advised a few words, she vaguely sensed some things, but some words were really difficult to persuade, so she had to divert the conversation, so that Daiyu would no longer be immersed in self-blame and guilt.When she arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, what Wang Xifeng never expected was that before she could go to the Rongqing Hall, she was stopped by Mrs. Wang who rushed over after hearing the news.

"I've met the second wife." Wang Xifeng said expressionlessly.

"Come to Rongxi Hall, I have something to tell you." Mrs. Wang was obviously worried that the maid would not invite Wang Xifeng, so she personally intercepted her on the road.But the problem is that even if she wants to intercept someone, she has to see if Wang Xifeng is willing to cooperate.Obviously, Wang Xifeng was quite uncooperative.

But Wang Xifeng sneered and said: "Second wife is so imposing, is she planning to call me to Rongxi hall to kill people? To tell you the truth, I did not come quietly to Rongguo mansion today. The people on the road have all seen it. If I came here in good condition, but was carried out without a sound, how do you think others will guess?"

However, these words did not frighten Mrs. Wang, but scared Daiyu.

"Sister Feng, you, you...Second Wife, Sister Feng is a distinguished guest that the old lady specially asked me to call. What is the reason for your actions? Even if you are an elder, I have to say that you are going too far " Daiyu was a little flustered at the beginning, but then she lost her temper and said to Mrs. Wang with a cold face.

Mrs. Wang never expected that it was not only Wang Xifeng who was eloquent, but also this girl from the Lin family who had been living in Rongguo Mansion for several years and had always been weak.Immediately, Mrs. Wang was so angry that her face turned blue and white, and even her bones trembled involuntarily.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng showed a smile, but the first words were full of chills: "Second wife, you should take care, after all, the second master committed a felony murder, and now there is no one in the Rongguo mansion. Even if you intend to smooth this matter over, there is nothing you can do. If Second Wife falls ill again, I'm afraid that the huge Rongguo Mansion will become unmanageable."

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Wang shouted angrily.

"What's the matter? I want to do it now? Oh, yo, the wife of the Rongguo Mansion has beaten someone! No, this is planning to kill people to silence her! The conscience of heaven and earth, I came here with good intentions to see the old lady who was said to be sick. I never thought about it." The head wife actually planned to take me as a hostage and threatened my second master Lian to withdraw the lawsuit. God! Open your eyes and see, the world is unfair and the world is cold!!"

As Wang Xifeng was talking, he closed his eyes, tilted his body, and fell into Zijuan's arms like this.Zicuckoo hurriedly caught Wang Xifeng, shouting repeatedly.Feng'er, who was on the side, took over what Wang Xifeng had just said, and screamed sharply: "Killed!!!"

Originally, she hadn't recovered from what Wang Xifeng said just now, but now she heard Feng'er screaming again, Madam Wang was in a bad mood.

"What nonsense? Why did I kill people? Are you just framing good people like this? You bastard! I am a high-ranking lady! Wang Xifeng, don't go too far! Believe it or not, I will send you to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!"

Daiyu looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, and suddenly said: "So, can a high-ranking Madam be able to send innocent people to the prison at will?"

The author has something to say:

I have body armor, and I have a heavy-bottomed cauldron with a lid! !I run, run, run! ! !
