Last time, it was said that Baoyu was about to ask Lin Hongyu about Daiyu, but when he heard the prison chief coughing loudly outside the door, he knew someone was coming. Walked through from room to room, called names, and went out.Sister Feng smiled bitterly at Baoyu across the aisle: "In the past, I was the only one who checked the roster, but now I am being checked, and it is worse than those daughters-in-law who are servants. They have become criminals. I don't know if I will see the light of day again in this life. " Baoyu hastily comforted a few words, and Mingyan put out the vegetable and food brought by Qianxue just now, first filled a bowl with Baoyu, and then asked Sister Feng through the fence.Sister Feng said: "When Xiaohong came to see me, she had already eaten. When she was hungry, there was mincemeat cake. You can eat it yourself."

Mingyan was already very hungry, so he filled a bowl full by himself, and finished it in two or three mouthfuls. When he wanted to add more, he saw that there was not much left in the bowl, so he couldn't help hesitating.When Baoyu saw this, he knew that he was not full, so he hurriedly said, "Eat it all, I can't eat this bowl." Honestly, you’re welcome.” Then he put all the leftovers in a bowl, and ate it with the leftovers.Baoyu had something on his mind, so he ate half a bowl of new bamboo shoot soup soaked in rice, but couldn't tell what it tasted like. Since then, Qianxue and Hongyu have come to visit Sister Feng and Baoyu at noon or evening, or every other day, and there are cell leaders to take care of them. It's a pain in the ass.

In addition, Jia Zheng saw that Baoyu had robbed the horse and fled privately, and the Yulin army was not allowed to chase him, so he knew something unexpected.After thinking wildly all night, at noon the next day, Xue Biao sent his family members to report that the Second Rongning Mansion had been raided. When Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and others heard this, they fell down and sat down with tears streaming down their cheeks. They were all dizzy with anxiety and dared not leave without permission.Jia Zheng asked, "Who is the official who came to copy?" Knowing that it was Zhongshun Mansion, he sighed and said, "It happened to fall into his hands."The old Cangtou said: "I heard from our wife that although it was ordered to copy the seal, it has never been difficult for the female relatives. Now the old lady in the house and all the girls are temporarily settled in the ancestral hall. Outside, our wife and the second master are helping to take care of us. The eldest girl also stays in the ancestral hall, one to take care of the old lady, and the other to pass some news inside and outside."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng and others were very grateful, and felt a little relieved.He ordered some wine and dinner on the stove to eat with him, and then brought him back and asked him carefully: "You just talked about your wife and second master, why didn't you mention your uncle Xue?" The old man cried: "My uncle They were also taken away, and they were said to be sold by Jia Yu Village, who used to come to the mansion, and said that our uncle beat someone to death in Yingtian Mansion, and it was my aunt and uncle who wrote a book to him, ordering him to do it without telling the truth. , and brought out many letters to testify. What about stone nerds' fans, Buddhist temples in Ping'an Prefecture, and more than a dozen stories, large and small, I can't remember the truth, and I can't learn it. It was confiscated, and our uncle was taken away there, and now our second grandfather is messing around to clear the way for money, and I don't know how the trial is going at this moment."

Everyone heard that he didn't understand, and they were both worried and puzzled, but Jia She heard the words "the stone nerd's fan, the Buddhist temple in Ping'an Prefecture", and was so frightened that he fell into his chair and couldn't speak for a long time.Seeing him like this, Jia Zheng suddenly remembered what Dai Quan said that day when he delivered the sacrificial silver, and realized that this matter had something to do with him. In the past, many people advised me not to get close to Jia Yucun, but I just refused to listen, now I have a carbuncle, who can I blame?" I had to send the old man back, and I couldn't help saying a lot of exhortations and thanks.

It turned out that it was Jia Amnesty's idea to build the Tai'an Temple Pagoda and the Royal Palace in Ping'an Prefecture, and sell nobles and donate silver. He also paid out five thousand taels of silver, and invited Jia Yucun, the chief minister of the Ministry of War, to perform a performance, asking for credit and rewards on behalf of a group of people. There is a lot of right and wrong.And when Dali Temple was ordered to investigate and interrogate, Jia Yucun could not defend himself because of the memorials as evidence, so he had to confess according to the facts, and then blamed Jia Amnesty for all the accidents in order to protect himself.Dali Temple asked Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen to be brought to the case because of the performance.Just at this time, another anti-theft department presented a precious moon vase, which was originally a tribute from Korea and given to the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River. When asked, it was sold by the youngest son of Zhou Rui, a servant of the Jia family. The owner of the pawn shop said that the second master of Jia Fulian handed it over to his brother-in-law Leng Zixing to sell it privately in the south of the Yangtze River, and he stole it.

The crime of "hiding the property of a prisoner" is not a minor crime, and it should be confiscated according to the law.The Zhongshun Mansion then took the opportunity to explain: the case of buying an official in Ping'an Prefecture is very involved. If it is investigated clearly, all the officials must collude with each other and make excuses; , although strict orders can be issued, it is not as cheap as Jian Xing's secret implementation; since the Zhen family can transfer the property to the Jia family before the inspection, the Jia family will definitely try to transfer the property to other places, it is better to use a strategy of "diverting the tiger away from the mountain". First send all the men from Jia's mansion to Xiaoci County to guard the spirit, and then by surprise, order a copy of the inspection. Even if Jia Amnesty and the others have all-powerful means, it will be difficult to use them; However, it cannot be guaranteed that there will be no accidents in the Ningguo Mansion. If we can copy some real things, we will not be afraid of those people denying them.

After hearing this, the emperor took it for granted, and asked the four kings for advice.The king of Beijing, Shui Rong, was shocked when he heard the decree. He knew that King Zhongshun and Jia's mansion were not on good terms, so he would take the opportunity to trample on him.Sure enough, during the inspection, King Zhongshun insisted on acting bravely and showing off his power. Fortunately, King Beijing judged the situation and repeatedly advised the guards not to embarrass the female family members. Never bullied or oppressed.All the relatives of Jia's mansion, such as Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan, were handed over to their parents and taken away, and they were not detained together with people from Jia's mansion.

Now that Rongning and Ningfu have copied, Jia Shesu's correspondence with Ping'an Prefecture Jiedushi, Jia Yucun, etc. have all been exposed. The evidence is overwhelming and indisputable; Find out that Jia Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion gathers the rich and powerful children of the court to gamble and summon Niyou to drink every night, and even the inner minister of the palace is also involved.This "secretly setting up a gambling house and colluding with officials" was originally a taboo of the imperial court, which was more serious than concealing stolen goods;However, due to the wide-ranging involvement, the law does not blame the public, but it makes the present day to be wary of rats. At this time, the frontier is unstable and foreign troubles are endless. The concubine died tragically, and he really couldn't bear to offend his parents and brothers, so he only approved the vermilion pen and sent Jia Yucun into exile. I took a post in the state capital and chose a date to take office.As for the Rongning family, because their descendants learned that they had not returned to Xiaoci County, the punishment was postponed; after looking through the memorials, they saw that Tanchun and Xichun, the ladies of the Jia family, were all candidates, so they ordered King Beijing and King Zhongshun to come in and discuss together. , and asked about the strategy of Pingfan.

It turns out that the imperial court has two factions of "main war" and "negotiating peace" regarding the direction of Pingfan. The King of Beijing is the leader of the main fighting faction, and the Yihe faction is led by Zhongshun Mansion. In the stalemate, it seems that the King of Beijing has the upper hand. However, the former Marshal Wei Tinggu sent a letter to report that when the army first arrived in Guangxi, it faced the bandits head-on as an enemy. Only then did I realize that the opponent was half bandits and half Japanese pirates, colluded with both inside and outside, although the army was twice as strong, but the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi waited and watched, and the rescue failed, so he was defeated. Even Wei Ruolan was separated in the battle, and he is still alive unknown.The emperor was very anxious when he heard the news, thinking that in today's time, the priority should be to suppress the bandits with heavy troops, and he is unwilling to disperse his troops to fight outside, so now he is reviewing the files, intending to make peace and ease the internal and external attacks.Zhongshun Wangyuan met Tanchun during the inspection. At this time, when the emperor asked about the two daughters of the Jia family, he knew that the emperor had the intention of exonerating, so he pushed the boat along, praising Tanchun for his good looks, fearless in the face of danger, and worthy of the important task of negotiation.The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the words, and ordered Jia Tanchun to come and see him.

The King of Beijing originally strongly opposed He Fan, thinking that it was really embarrassing for the country and society to rely on a weak female stream for protection; but because of this, the discussion was beneficial to the Jia family, and it was inconvenient to stop it.What's more, during the previous inspection, there were many monks and nuns in the garden who set up altars to chant scriptures. Because they were not from the Jia family, they all ordered them to go away. Indifferent, he left with the crowd. Because the nun behaved differently, the king of Beijing looked twice more. Just as he was about to ask questions, he suddenly heard crying in the Xiaoxiang hall, and also heard that Lin Daiyu, the aunt of the Jia family, was seriously ill. When she died, she was upset and sighed at the moment, and Miaoyu, a nun from Yuancui nunnery, came, please go to Xiaoxiang Hall to save Lin Daiyu.Shui Rong saw that Miaoyu was born with a celestial appearance and bones, transcending the dust and vulgarity, with the appearance of spring clouds and autumn water as gods, she was just a nun with hair and practiced in Jia's mansion, so she was not surprised.Later, when I looked at the roster, I realized that Jia Xichun was missing. This was a major dereliction of duty by the prosecutor. If the emperor found out, he would be punished severely. Now the King of Loyalty recommends Jia Tanchun to the palace, but he doesn't mention Xichun. this.King Beijing had a ghost in his heart, so he had no choice but to agree, and the Zhongshun Mansion easily won the game. King Zhongshun and King Beijing had been at odds for many years, and he was very proud of taking advantage easily this time, so he went to the ancestral hall of Jia's mansion to deliver the decree, and brought Tanchun back to Zhongshun mansion for one night, so that his wife took care of it and dressed up carefully. Let's go to court together tomorrow.This was originally a common practice among princes and princes, and there is no need to explain it in detail. Now it is only said that Jia Zheng and others received the imperial decree in Xiaoci, and when they heard that Tanchun was considered a righteous daughter by the empress, she named her "Princess Xingyuan" and chose to go to Zhenzhen Kingdom in the middle of this month. They all wiped away their tears, but Aunt Zhao was complacent and said to everyone: "I just went to a concubine, and another concubine came out. It can be seen that our family has such luck. The lives of this family were saved by my daughter." down." Jia Huan said again: "Third sister is now a princess, am I not a prince?" Jia Lan said: "You didn't listen to the inner minister saying that the queen has recognized her adopted daughter, and she is no longer a member of our family. I have to go to see him off, but he is not allowed to recognize each other, even the master and wife are like this, let alone us?" Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and others are all old in the officialdom. After hearing this news, they know that the inner court must be lenient and feel happy. , Said privately: "This time, I may be able to get rid of the death penalty." Jia Lian said: "No wonder our girl keeps saying that among these girls, the third girl is scheming and good-natured, better than men. As expected, I have such an adventure today. "Busy to arrange for Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao and others to leave. After traveling all the way, fortunately, I arrived in the capital on March 18th, and first went to meet Jia Mu and others in the ancestral hall. We couldn't help crying, and each asked about the situation after leaving.Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang heard that Baoyu and Sister Feng were imprisoned in the Prison Temple. He couldn't help crying and sighed: "It's the two of them who walked cleanly." He asked for details. Mother Jia cried: "Even I didn't expect it to be so fast. He came to say hello that night, and he looked better than before. I just said I hope he gets well soon, who I don't know that in less than half an hour, I saw that girl Xueyan running away and said it was bad. I was about to go to see him with these people, when I saw many officers and soldiers rushing in, holding the imperial decree and forcing them to leave. Poor girl Lin He came alone, he went alone, and at the end I couldn't see him, and no one saw him off." He burst into tears again. Youshi, Baochai, Yuanyang, etc. hurried forward to persuade them, and said that Sister Feng lied that Daiyu had married the King of Beijing, and kept Baoyu's affairs from her for the time being, and even Zijuan, Xueyan and other Daiyu's personal attendants The king of Beijing also decided to let her go. Xueyan helped the spirit of Daiyu to go back to Suzhou. All the vehicles and boats were taken care of by the king of Beijing. I went, and agreed to bury Daiyu and then go home separately. Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "This is also a way to save worry. Miss Lin's Geng Tie has already passed the mansion, even if King Beijing helps cook, it is not considered excessive courtesy. If Baoyu asks about it in the future, he will only say Miss Lin Just marry and go to Beifu, otherwise I don’t know what will happen.” Thanking You Shi for your hard work, he took Baochai’s hand and cried: “It’s rare for you to have such a big event happen to my house before you even entered the house. How can I thank you if you don't want to leave these people behind at this time?" Baochai persuaded: "Why did my aunt say such a thing? There is still a saying in the sage's quotations: "Death and life are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky." ', I can't force it. Mountains still have ups and downs, not to mention people's luck? It is said that it is a great luck every ten years, and a little luck every year. "The sun and the moon move, one cold and one hot." If you are not going well, you don’t have to take it too seriously, just follow the heavens and know your destiny, and be at peace with the situation, it will be easy to pass.” Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard this discussion, and Jia's mother also said: "These days, thanks to having him by my side, he often persuades me to calm my heart, and helps to arrange the cooking, and arrange the arrangement of this place. Many people, if they say my family is unlucky, I shouldn't have such a good daughter-in-law." She cried and cried.Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang stopped crying and comforted them. Then all the servants and girls knelt down to see him. Mrs. Wang asked Baochai quietly because she didn't see the attacker. Zifang came and took it. After a short rest, I came to dinner, because it was cold food, only some green group and red lotus root, Mrs. Wang found it difficult to swallow, but Jia Mu ate it with relish, and did not feel embarrassed at all.When Jia Zheng saw this, he secretly admired him. He also saw that people lived in the temple according to men and women. Although it was simple, it was well-organized and orderly, without losing everyone's demeanor. Thanks to grace, when the disaster comes, these men are not as good as women, so it's no wonder that the family is in decline. At this time, most of the people in Beijing already knew the news that Jia Zheng and others had returned to Beijing to send off their daughters, or they were nostalgic and considerate of his misfortune, or they thought that his family would still be able to recover. However, most of them send their family members to send some clothes, oil, rice, or silver taels, or utensils, and they are divided as much as they like.Jia Zheng didn't need to be polite at this time, he accepted them one by one, and handed them over to Baochai for his own use.Mrs. Wang said quietly to Baochai again: "The important event of us going back to Beijing to see off relatives has already been spread all over the court. These distant relatives still need to socialize a little bit. How come the Sun family is close relatives to us, but there is no movement at all? Their sisters are in the garden. After living there for those years, and now Tan Yatou is about to marry far away, does Ying Yatou not have a few words to tell her sister?" Baochai couldn't hide his feelings, so she couldn't help crying and sighed: "Not long after the accident happened in our family, someone from the Sun family came to report the funeral, saying that the second girl had died of illness, and they only said one word, and didn't even say a word. I thought about this and told the old lady that if I couldn't get out, I was sad in vain; the ladies were all filial, and they couldn't get through anyway, and Sister-in-law Feng was like that, only Ping'er was half of the mansion. Master, so I'm discussing with Mrs. You, why don't I ask my brother Xue Bian to accompany Ping'er for a while, and make a little courtesy. I begged the guard again and again, but fortunately Ping'er is a girl, so I didn't hinder too much. I heard that Uncle Sun's family is indifferent, and the mourning hall is also sloppy. There are only two maids who accompanied the mansion to guard the funeral. It is so deserted. For other things, the wife only needs to ask Ping'er quietly. Do you want to tell the old man about this matter? Ma'am, I also ask my wife to tailor it." Mrs. Wang nodded and sighed: "People are dead, and it's useless to say it. It's better to keep it a secret." Then she called Ping'er to ask him.Ping'er cried: "That day when I went to Sun's house, Grandpa Sun ignored me and didn't even treat me to a cup of tea. It was Xiuju who quietly led me to sit in the wing room and told me privately that the second girl was seriously ill. When I heard that something like this happened to our family, I cried so much that I packed up some food and clothing and wanted to go back to the house to see the old lady. Uncle Sun not only refused, but yelled at the girl, saying that the old man cheated him of money, and then Bringing him to trial, "Bragging that I know the chief minister of the Ministry of War, I took out five thousand taels of silver and came to Beijing to wait for the vacancy. I waited for half a year, but I didn't see any sign of a job and a half title. Instead, I stuffed you with discounted cash." , you don’t even look in the mirror, is it worth five thousand taels of silver? Now that everyone in your family is on death row, the money is naturally irrecoverable, and I have to go through a lawsuit. Casting the wrong baby, marrying you, a prodigal, is nothing but compensation, and now I want to move my belongings to my mother's house. If it wasn't for a husband and wife, I will send you to the government and sue you A kidnapper fled privately and asked you to go to prison with your brother.' There are many other unpleasant things, and I can't tell my wife, so I locked the door and took all the maids who waited on the second girl. Do this and that, and don't allow them to go back to take care of the girl. After a night like this, when I get up early the next day and open the door, I see the second girl lying straight on the bed, she is dead." He cried again. Mrs. Wang also wiped her tears, and sighed: "He grew up in front of my eyes, just like my own daughter, and now he has stretched his legs. It's a pity that I can't see him off." Shi came to discuss where to rest at night, so he had to put this matter aside.It turned out that although the temple was large, it was crowded with female family members of the upper, middle and lower classes, and it was difficult to allocate another bedroom to rest with Jia Zheng.Mrs. Wang felt embarrassed after thinking about it, so she went to ask Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng said, "What's the big deal? At this time, there's nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter which housekeeper's room you want to squeeze in." When Youshi heard this, he hurriedly replied: "That's not necessary. If the master is willing to give in, it would be easy to vacate a room in the next room. Let them share two rooms together." He said and went to talk to the housekeepers. arrange.There was nothing to say all night. The next day was Qingming, and it rained slightly, intermittently, sometimes without. The people of Jia's house invaded the morning and got up. They burned incense and worshiped in front of the tablet of Rongning Ergong, and burned paper money. Jia Zheng knelt down and said: " The ancestors laid down such a family business, but the son could not overthrow the Jiqiu and revive the reputation of the family. Instead, the ancestors were ashamed. I am about to marry far away, the journey is far away, the wind is dangerous, and the customs and daily life in the barbaric land of Zhenzhen country are not the same as those in the middle land. How to deal with it? The daughter of the Ning family, Xichun, went missing a few days ago. Now that there is nothing left, I still ask for the protection of the ancestors of Lai, so that the two of them will be safe in life, and the family will be reunited." Mrs. Wang specially made another paper to offer sacrifices to welcome the Spring Festival, but she dare not explain it, for fear Startled Jia Mu. After all, the sedan chair sent by the King of Beijing has come, and it is to pick up Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhao and their party to see off Tanchun.When I came to the riverside, I saw a screen shed set up early in the morning by the pier, a red carpet was spread in front of the throne, and the dowry fleet was parked by the riverside with gold and flowers, and the strings and pipes were wafting.The inner minister led Jia's mother and others to sit down under the shed, and General Wu rushed up to meet him. Not long after, three gun salutes were fired, and the emperor's dragon chariot arrived. All the officials kowtowed and shouted long live. Then they were ascended to the throne and offered sacrifices to their ancestors.I saw Jia Tanchun cicada with flowers on the temples, with black eyebrows, yellow forehead, red lips and bright teeth, moon and star eyes, wearing a jeweled jade crown of nine dragons and four phoenixes on his head, with a green cover and drooping beads; The dark blue Zhai clothes, the real red flying fish brocade skirt, the neckline, sleeves, skirt, and hem are all woven with golden cloud and dragon patterns, and there are dozens of jewels and emerald jewelry on the wrists below the neck, and even the uppers of the shoes are adorned on the left and right. holding five big pearls.It's really full of flowers, magnificent, god chasing Wen Ji, her color is like a king's Qiang, she is gorgeous, beautiful and unparalleled, Ping Pingtingting came to the throne and knelt down, calling "Father Emperor", calling herself "baby", kowtow Perform royal ceremonies.Both today and the queen left their seats and got up, held hands to remind them, and asked earnestly. At this time, the drizzle has just stopped, the sundial is thin, and a ray of sunlight shines through the gaps in the clouds, which just shines on Tanchun's face.Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, etc. were caught in the hundreds of officials, and they sat at the last seat far away, crying until they cried dryly. Knowing that they will never see each other after the farewell, they all feel traumatized within the five internal organs and cannot look up. , only suffer from not being able to make a sound.On the contrary, Aunt Zhao saw Tanchun's phoenix crown and xiapei, gown skirt and precious shoes, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, dressed like a heavenly maiden, and even Daishu and emerald ink were dressed in brocade and clouds from Sichuan, with flower hairpins and jade belts, dressed as court ladies and followed behind In the back, she is really charming and precious.Although Aunt Zhao also felt reluctant to give up, she was really proud of it.Tanchun couldn't stop looking for the place of Jia Mu and others in the crowd, but he saw it first after waiting for the book, and whispered it in his ear, but his eyelashes were full of tears, and he watched from afar. After receiving the banquet, the auspicious time has come. Princess Xingyuan bid farewell to the Holy Majesty, abandoned the shore and boarded the boat, and set sail.The ministers knelt down and asked the emperor to return to Luan, and then Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang let go of their voices and looked at the river and burst into tears. Aunt Zhao and her party cried and counted: "I gave birth to you in October, just like holding a phoenix." I have held you so high, and I have never said a word of seriousness to you, and I have not deserved your filial piety for a day. Now that you have become a princess or princess, you can only earn an imperial order for me and a crown for your brother. I thought I just went away without a word, didn't I have a conscience? You recognized the emperor as your father and the queen as your mother. With such a big backer, it's time for the country to be strong Why don't you say something nice for us and act like a coquettish child, won't the emperor listen?" Jia Zheng listened and reprimanded: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? You don't know about state affairs. Why don't you just shut up and go away It's time." Aunt Zhao's side stopped talking. After the officials dispersed, the people surrounded by the river began to point and discuss at will. Some said that the princess's guard of honor was majestic, some said that the Jia family really knew how to raise a daughter, and that a concubine had just died and another princess was born. It is already false to say that the daughter of a courtier pretends to be a princess, but he is also surnamed Jia, and married to Zhenzhen Kingdom to be a princess. This is true and false, and it is really difficult to deal with.Jia Zheng was too lazy to listen. Together with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao, they said goodbye to Jia's mother and went back to Xiaoci.Mrs. Wang still wanted to go to the Prison Temple to see Baoyu, but Jia Zheng persuaded her, saying: "Nowadays is an eventful autumn, and I'm afraid of trouble if I stay away, so I send it to the door by myself, and I don't know what happened when I look back. Instead, blame him." Mrs. Wang had no choice but to let it go. When the party returned to Xiaoci, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian led the people to meet them. Jia Zheng first went to the imperial concubine Yuan to burn incense and told him, and then came back to see Jia Amnesty.Seeing that Jia She is bewildered and behaving in a daze, but he has not seen him for a few days, and he seems to have aged a few years, and even the hair on his temples has turned gray, so he refuses to directly talk about the Spring Festival, and only briefly talks about the situation of sending off his relatives , and quietly called Jia Lian, and Fang told him in detail.Jia Lian was startled, but she couldn't help crying, and went to discuss with her mother again.Mrs. Xing decided not to tell Jia Amnesty, but to wait until the matter was over in the future.On the contrary, Li Wan and others felt sad and wept when they heard about it. When the concubine of the Yuan Dynasty melted the paper, he also poured out a sacrifice for Yingchun, and quietly asked the monks to build another dojo. Jia amnesty alone.do not mention. Now let's say that Xue Pan came to the court, it was because he beat Feng Yuan to death to snatch Xiangling.It turned out that Jia Yucun used his family to provoke quarrels in the past, but because of the amnesty a few years ago, the family was free and came to the capital, so he asked relatives and friends to start his old business, and hated Yucun as a thief , just out of fear of his power, unable to fulfill his wish.However, when Yucun was demoted, Jia's family committed a crime, and the emperor asked people to visit all the lawsuits and officials in Yucun secretly.That disciple got this opportunity, how could he not take revenge, so he reported what Yucun had done in Yingtian Mansion in the past.The government office didn't dare to be negligent, and the secret memorial was offered at a discount.In a few days, the emperor's order came down, and the government proposed a retrial. At first, because of Feng Yuan and Xiang Ling's death, the government office was afraid that there would be no proof, and it also received money from Xue's family, so it might not be willing to settle the matter hastily.However, that disciple was well aware of the details of the case, but he confessed to Feng Yuan's family, the evil slaves of the Xue family who helped in the beating to death, and the Taoist priests who colluded in the court to give false testimony, it is difficult for him to remember clearly. They all reported their names one by one.The government didn't dare to cover them up, so they had to send fast hands to arrest them one by one, and detained them one by one for criminal interrogation.Those people are not some Liangshan heroes, and they are all just soft egg pustules that fall into the nest with the wind, and they don't need dozens of mandarin duck boards, a dozen sticks, and hundreds of sticks, and they will all shit and cry. After confessing, I was afraid that the confession was not detailed and clear enough. I wished to pour out my own bone marrow and brains for everyone to see, not to mention that the trial of such a serious case involving human life could never be clear.What's more, there are letters copied from Jia's mansion, written by Jia Yucun and Jia Zheng narrating the whole story of the case to testify, and then added the crime of forming a party, committing fraud, and bending the law for personal gain. .Aunt Xue hated so much that she scolded: "Damn Jia Yucun, if you said that you got rid of my son back then, you should have accepted his love, but who taught him to write these two letters to please him? Now even my brother and brother-in-law are involved, really. Harming others and harming oneself, it would be better not to help back then, and save the idleness of these many years." After only two sessions, the trial of Xue Pan's case has been concluded. He was charged with the crime of "taking advantage of power, killing people, and bribing the county government". Ten boards, just for the sake of the ancestors, don't take off the middle clothes, leaving a little thin face.Then Xue Pan called his father and mother, crying so miserably, how could the hall respect him?After a five-ten fight, the dragger came out, ordered two long-term solutions, and escorted him off.Poor Xue Biao still only thinks it can be saved, and he looks for someone to take care of it everywhere, but he has spent a lot of unjust money, how can he be rescued? On the day of Qijie, Aunt Xue, Xue Biao, Baochai and others got the news early in the morning, and they all waited by the post road.Xue Biao pulled Chang Jie aside to talk, and entertained him with wine and dinner.The Changjie said: "We want to benefit from the family, how can we bear to see Uncle Xue suffer? It's just that we are still in the capital, so we don't dare to make love. Don't worry, the second master, as long as he leaves the city, he will take off the monogram and loosen the shackles for the uncle. Let’s not hide the truth, just take a tour of the mountains and rivers, and deliver it in a non-stop manner, assuring that it’s like serving your own brother.” Aunt Xue saw that Xue Pan was haggard with bruises on his face, she could hardly recognize her, so she asked a few words about the interrogation, and then she started crying again.And let Baochan come up to meet each other.Xue Pan felt ashamed when he saw Baochan, because he asked, "How is your grandma?" Baochan curled his lips and said, "Ask grandma. Since he went back to his mother's house last time, he hasn't even sent a letter back. Because something happened to my grandfather, we moved again. My wife sent someone to tell grandma about it. The person who went there came back and said that grandma listened and said nothing. She didn't even leave tea for the messenger. Take a sip, and then you will be taught again." Xue Pan was silent for a while after hearing this. For a while, Xiao Er came to serve wine and rice, and Aunt Xue liked it, so she ordered Baochan to take the wine and rice prepared by herself, and set a table with delicacies of mountains and seas for Xue Pan to enjoy.Xue Pan ate a few mouthfuls, but he couldn't swallow it.It's also because of the few days in prison, although the interrogation is hard, but the appetite is not lost.Knowing that there may not be a day of return after this trip, I wanted to say a few words, but I had nothing to say. After thinking about it, I had to sigh to Xue Biao: "Although I am an older brother, I was not even half as good as my sister or you since I was a child. I have been growing up for more than 20 years, but I have never bought half of the family property. It's just that I was mischievous and made troubles to annoy my mother. Now I If I go, my mother can save some time from now on. Even if my daughter-in-law is gone, I will only teach him to go. Even if he is at home, he will not be able to keep it, so it will be more worry-free to go. It is Baochan, if he is willing If you don’t want to guard, you can help your mother to live well; if you don’t want to guard, please ask your mother to find a good family to send him, just treat me as dead, and you don’t have to expect me to come back. Is there any delay in what the daughter does?” Aunt Xue, Baochai and others have never heard him say such plain words in their whole life, and before they finished speaking, they all fell down crying.Then Baochan cried, "What did you say? Is Baochan the kind of soft-hearted person? Since you follow the master, you will be born as a member of the Xue family and die as a ghost of the Xue family, unless you are divorced." I don't have any second thoughts. I just wish I could go with my master, accompany him in the morning and evening, eat three meals a day, and have a waiter, but I don't allow my family to follow me. I wish I never gave birth to a boy and a half girl for the master, and passed it on to the Xue family This descendant, who inherits the incense, is not in vain to serve the master." Xue Pan couldn't help but shed a few more tears after hearing this. Not wanting the guards to hear these words across the table, they thought of another idea to make money, so they whispered in Xue Biao's ear.Xue Biao was surprised, and hurriedly came to Aunt Xue and said it in Aunt Xue's ear. Aunt Xue couldn't understand for a while, and asked a few more words quietly.Although Baochai didn't hear it, she probably guessed it. She blushed with shame and pretended to talk to her brother, turning her head and sitting with her back.Baochan was reluctant at first, saying that the journey was far away, and he was afraid of accidents; he also said that Xue Pan was a repeat offender, but he committed such a crime. Wouldn't it be a crime if he was caught?Aunt Xue persuaded her again and again, and promised her benefits, saying, "Your grandma will definitely not be able to keep it. If you really have a child, even if Pan'er can't come back, I will make the decision for him and support you. In the future This family property is all yours. Or if you have any other intentions, as long as the children of the Xue family stay, the rest you are willing to take away will be yours, and you will never violate your promise." Baochan hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.Xue Biao thanked the two elders heavily, and carefully discussed when to release Xue Pan and change clothes, where to rent a shop for Xue Pan and Baochan to live in, and if there was a letter, he would hire a car to send Baochan away. When toad comes back, if he doesn't believe him, he will delay for a few days before going forward, and he will go to a shop to ask for a place to stay.The negotiation was settled, so he went out to hire a car for Baochan, and paid half of the fare first, and promised to pay the other half after the original car brought Baochan back.After sending Baochai away, he went back to pack Baochan's package first, ordered his family to ride after him on horseback, made an appointment at a meeting place, and left with tears. Since then, every time the group traveled three to five hundred miles, they stayed for a few days, looking for a place to be convenient with Xue Pan and Baochan, and the two messengers lived next door. Seeing the two of them happy, he couldn't help feeling angry, so he urged Xue Pan to pay for the two of them to call prostitutes, kill chickens and drink, and regarded Hongtong County as a happy town, and he couldn't think of Sichuan anymore. It was a day when Xue Pan and Baochan were lingering together, when the rain cleared and the clouds gathered, Xie sent to knock on the door to urge them to leave.Baochan calculated that he had been away from home for more than a month, and he was not used to food and accommodation, so he refused to go any further, he only wanted to go back.These days Xue Pan spends out money every day to drink with the messenger and hire prostitutes, his pockets are gradually empty, although he is reluctant, he has no choice but to agree.So a table was set up in the inn, and Baochan and Baochan hugged their necks and wept bitterly, and left with tears.Fu walked forward for a few more days. This night, he stayed in a lonely village. Fang closed his eyes dimly, and suddenly saw a crazy and lame Taoist floating towards him. Please tell me, because you are destined to have a son, so don't let it go to Sona. After delaying until now, I will bring you to justice. Why don't you come with me quickly." Xue Pan refused and said, "I don't know you. Why do I want to go with you?" The man smiled and said, "Although you don't know me, I knew you early on. I can explain it to you clearly." : I am real Miaomiao, and I am a close friend of Zhen Shiyin, the father of your concubine Yinglian, and I was the one who saved your concubine Liu Xianglian a few days ago. Why don’t you come with me?” Xue Pan heard this, although he didn’t know why “Yinglian” Wu, only heard the word "Liu Xianglian" and was happy, so he was not afraid, but went forward and said, "It turns out that the second brother Liu is also with you. Take me to see him quickly." He followed the Taoist priest. The next day, the two messengers couldn't find him. They just thought he couldn't bear the hardship and ran away secretly. When he wanted to go back to Beijing to report the arrest, he was afraid that his superiors would know about the punishment, so he made up a random name for someone who died of illness on the way, and went back to communicate vaguely. It's over.Aunt Xue and Baochai burst into tears when they got Xin'er, but they were helpless. Fortunately, since Xi Baochan came back to Xue's house, his belly was getting bigger and bigger, and he really had a son in September, who was brought up by Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan. Study hard, do some small business, live within your means, and live a decent life, these are all things for later.exactly: The butterfly flies and spreads its wings to Fang Yixia, and it has been a hundred years since I woke up from my dream.
