Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 296 Jia Rong: Please Second Uncle Help Me!

In Sister Feng's room, Ping'er walked in with her maid, Hong'er.

"Have you seen the truth?"

Sister Feng's complexion had already changed, she looked at the servant girl Hong'er, and asked repeatedly.

The maid Xiaohong also wondered why the second grandma had such a big reaction after hearing this. She had just mentioned something to Miss Ping casually.

"You go down."

Sister Feng waved her hand distractedly.

Ping'er winked at the side, telling Xiaohong to leave, but she didn't dare to make a sound, she just looked at Sister Feng secretly.

Although he is the master and servant, even Ping'er doesn't know what Sister Feng ordered Xing'er and Wang'er to do, but after all, they have been with each other for many years. How can Ping'er not guess Sister Feng's character of revenge, it will not be a good thing after all.

Therefore, after hearing that the second master called Xing'er and Wang'er into the house late at night, and deliberately carried Sister Feng and her behind his back, Ping'er felt that something was wrong, and asked the servants again, only to find out that every time Xing'er After Wang'er and Wang'er left Sister Feng's place, they both went to see the second master Lian, and then brought Xiaohong to see Sister Feng.

"Grandma." Ping'er tried to persuade her, but she just opened her mouth and didn't know how to continue.

Sister Feng also recovered from her panic, stood up quickly, looked at Ping'er with charming eyes and said: "Go, go and find Xing'er and Wang'er."

Hearing this, Ping'er hurriedly said: "Grandma can't, if that's the case, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver. Grandma doesn't want to do anything else, so she should think about it for Eldest Sister."

Sister Feng also recalled it, but her mind was different from Ping'er.

After all, Xing'er and Wang'er are the sons of Jia's family. After all, they are the second master of her family. Now that they have betrayed her, how can they tell the truth.

As for giving up and repenting, she never felt that there was anything wrong with her. She was the daughter of the Wang family and married into the Jia family.

"Go find Lin Zhixiao and come in."

When Lin Zhixiao arrived, Sister Feng asked him to go to the place where Zhang Hua's family was settled outside the city to see if they were still there, and prepared a silver bill to go to the censor's house of the procuratorate to find out if Xing'er and Wang'er had really been there. At the same time, Lin Zhixiao was asked to write a letter and send it to the west. The flustered heart was relieved.

Not long after, the people Lin Zhixiao sent to investigate came back, and Zhang Hua's family had already been picked up. As for the procuratorate, Wang Er had brought her letterhead to the procuratorate, but after two days, she came to ask for it again. , Said that his grandma changed her mind.

The imperial censor of the Procuratorate had nothing to do with it. One, he had the face of Jia and Wang's family in it, and the other was not a big deal, just collect the money with peace of mind.

After Sister Feng heard the letter, she was so angry that the three Buddhas were born and the five Buddhas ascended to heaven. It was only because she didn't know people well, and she was too confident in her own power. She didn't know that the mansion was named Jia and not Wang.

"Where is the second master? Ask him to go home, and say that I'm looking for him for another discussion." After her anger subsided, Sister Feng began to think of a solution, and said to Lin Zhixiao's family.

In the end, I asked Ping'er to go to the storeroom to buy a few bolts of silk and satin for some expenses, and personally sent them to Second Sister You. It mentioned how her royal family was like that.

Here, Jia Lian, who was in the East Mansion, heard Sister Feng's words from Lin Zhixiao, and sneered, but ignored it. The matter has come to this point, and there is nothing left to see.

Jia Zhen urged again, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, since the witnesses and evidences are gathered, why wait any longer.

After discussing with each other, they immediately went to the West Mansion. First they found Mrs. Wang, and then ordered someone to invite Mrs. Xing together. After briefly describing the matter, they ordered someone to invite Sister Feng to confront her.

On the other side, Jia Ying had already received a letter from Jingzhong Daiyu on the way, and hurried back to the capital, but before he returned home, he met a messenger from the palace on the street, and immediately He sent someone back to the mansion to deliver the letter, but he himself went into the palace.

In the Huagai Palace, Jiade asked Jia Ying about Sanyang Sect and Baiyang Daozi Lin Qing. In fact, the emperor never let go of this matter. From the time Jiade was assassinated in the palace in the fifth year to Nanyuan, there were all kinds of people behind him. No trace of this cult, no matter how good-tempered the emperor was, he would not tolerate the existence of such a cult.

It's a pity that the Embroidery Guard's pursuit was not good, and the culprits escaped several times. Because of this, the former Embroidery Guard Commander lost the emperor's trust, was thrown into imperial prison, and finally died at the hands of political enemies.As Dou Zhang's confidant, Chen Xiang was also forced to leave the customs and went deep into the grasslands as a spy for a year.

Jia Ying had already prepared her speech, but Jia Ying had only mentioned everything related to Luo Jiao in one stroke, without mentioning it in detail.

Pulling out carrots and bringing out mud involves folk religion, which has always been a tricky matter. Religion is not in the sky at all, but in the world. If it is not handled properly, it will cause civil uprisings. Jia Ying does not want to be contaminated.Things have to come to an end, the Sanyang Sect has become history so far, let him pass the past.

Of course, when Jia Ying said this, he was also testing Jiade's attitude. He knew that Chen Xiang must have told the emperor about the Yongping Mansion's affairs in secret, and even what role Liu Xianglian's family played in it, he probably couldn't hide it from the dragon chair. this one.

Sure enough, Jiade didn't seem to have such a thing as Luojiao, and only talked about Sanyangjiao in everything.

The emperor is not omnipotent. Sometimes the higher the position, the less he can do whatever he wants, and the more he needs to know what to compromise on.

After coming out of the palace, Jia Ying went to Luoguxiang.

"Second Brother Ying."

Daiyu came out with her green velvet, Qi and Xu, and Jia Rong was there.

Jia Ying looked at the girls affectionately and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qi Sixian said: "It's nothing for us. During this time, sister Daiyu is in charge of the overall situation. She should be the one who worked hard."

Jia Ying looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: "My Yu'er is becoming more and more like a big mother, and my heart is very comforting."

One sentence made Daiyu blush, but luckily all the women present were his women. As for Jia Rong, she stopped at a distance and didn't disturb the few people talking.

"How's the spring?"

Daiyu said: "The old lady took her to the garden and said that it would not be too late to come back after giving birth."

Jia Ying nodded: "I'll go pay my respects to the old lady later."

"I already know the matter. Now that I am back, I will never let you get hurt again."

Jia Ying turned to Jia Rong again and asked, "Why is Rong'er here?"

"Say hello to Second Uncle." Jia Rong stepped forward and said.

Daiyu said, "During this time, thanks to Lian's second elder brother and Rong'er taking care of him, he was running around outside for repairs in the mansion."

Jia Ying said with a smile: "Although we are all a family, but as the second uncle, I should thank you well. Tell me, is there anything you want?"

Jia Rong hesitated several times, but did not speak.

Jia Ying smiled and said, "There's no rush, just write this down, and when you think it over, it won't be too late to come find me again."

After finishing speaking, he said to Daiyu and the others: "Just wait, I will deal with Uncle Wu first."

After the girls left obediently, Jia Ying and the old servant Zhou Siwu entered the study.

"Is there any news about the missing people of Bing Ma Si?"

The old servant shook his head and said, "You don't see people alive, and you don't see dead bodies when you're dead."

Jia Ying pondered for a moment, then asked again: "After I left Beijing, who has been to the Lin Mansion?"

Behind the whole incident, the layout is actually centered around Daiyu. If you want to find out what you really want, the Lin family is the first.

"Master Xi has been there before." The old servant Zhou Siwu knew that what Jia Ying wanted to ask must not be someone who had nothing to do with the Jia family.

Jia She?

Jia Ying thought about it in her heart, shook her head slightly, but felt that it was impossible, Jia She had no such brains, and his involvement in the Liaodong matter was not too deep, at most he was greedy for some money.

At the very least, Jia Amnesty will not be the mastermind behind this matter.

"Who has he been seeing recently?"

"On the day the old man was pardoned, he returned home in Master Shi's carriage."

Jia Ying sneered and said, "That's right."

He had seen Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding before, and he was also an ambitious man, otherwise historians would not have the current situation of one family and two princes.

"There are neither people nor corpses, and the family is in the middle of the capital, so it can only mean that five of them were killed." Jia Ying returned to the topic of the unknown soldier Ma Si's night watchman: "But is there any one in Dadu nearby? on site"

Jia Ying tapped on the table, looking back at the whole matter, the opponent knew too much about the Jia family, and even pretended to be a servant of the Jia family to invite Daiyu to the Lin residence.
Could it be that those soldiers were also killed after being lured away.

Near Ningrong Street, inside and outside, Jia Ying arranged for several layers of sentry guards to watch the night, and everyone wore fireworks signals unique to Bingmasi, trying to kill five strong men silently, without making any noise. It was too difficult to be discovered.

Since there is no scene where no one was killed near Ningrong Street, it means that the scene is not here at all, but somewhere else.

Jia Ying had already set the rules for Bing Ma Si. When encountering any situation, he would immediately send out a firework signal to notify the surrounding companions to support him, so he would not be caught by the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

There is another possibility.
That is, five people left voluntarily.

Only in this way can they be taken away from the scene silently.

"Second Master, the big man is here." Xi'er's voice sounded from outside.

"Let him in." Jia Ying's expression became stern again.

"Second Master!"

Babli came in with his upper body tied up, knelt down on the ground on the spot, kowtowed his head and said, "Second Lord, I'm sorry for you, I'm so young, I'm sorry for killing you, but with Second Lord disposal."

"I think back then, when I first met you, your two brothers were just brave men who came to apply for the Hunan army camp. Now, your elder brother has become the commander of a battalion, serving under the supervision of the king's capital, and you have also been awarded the official title. , is at the sixth rank, counting the time, it is only more than three years." Jia Ying's voice sounded in the room.

The old servant at the side was silent, and did not plead for Baburi without authorization.

"Second master, the little one is stupid and can't speak, so I know that everything today was given by the second master, but now the young one has failed the love of the second master. Such a big incident in the west city, even in the army, is also Capital crime, I dare not complain even a little bit."

He is under the command of the Xicheng Bingma Division. If he is placed in the army, it will be considered that the camp of the Chinese army has been stolen, and he should be executed for the crime.

Jia Ying looked at Baburi, and continued: "For more than three years, your two brothers have fought with me in the north and south, and have gone through life and death. Although they have no blood relatives, they are better than brothers. .”

"Second Lord." Babli lowered his head in shame.

"Get up." Jia Ying said suddenly.

Babli's eyes were full of astonishment.

"Second master, the young one should be punished, I admit it."

Jia Ying's expression changed and she said gently: "Bringing you by my side has long been regarded as a family."

"Since we are a family, we don't talk about each other. Since the master has entrusted you with the safety of the entire family, he naturally believes in you. Why would he blame you for a small mistake?"

"Second Master, if you don't punish me, I won't pay the younger ones." Babli himself became angry.

Jia Ying sneered and said, "Then tell me, what should be the punishment? You are now an official of the imperial court. Even if you want to kill you, you need a warrant from the Ministry of War and approval from the Ministry of Punishment."

On the contrary, Babli was at a loss for words, but he still knelt down and couldn't afford it.

Jia Ying said: "Turn around, go to the school grounds to get thirty military sticks, put on your clothes if you have nothing to do, and scare the female family members in the mansion."

Babli raised his head and said: "Sixty sticks, no, one hundred sticks, if the master doesn't agree, I won't afford it."

Jia Ying laughed and scolded, "Hurry up and get out!"

Only then did Babli stand up, walked outside, and stopped halfway.

"What else do you want?" Jia Ying said helplessly.

Baburi smiled shyly, and said, "Second Master, there is a business to do, and the young one came here to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. I have been investigating secretly for the past two days."

Jia Ying scolded with a smile: "As far as your brain is concerned, you should train the soldiers of the West City more, so that there will be no more silent people."

Baburi became more energetic, listened to his chest and said: "Scholar farewell for three days, you should look at him with admiration, the second master underestimates people."

Jia Ying smiled angrily and said, "You're good at writing words, so tell me what you found."

"The young one asked the other groups of soldiers who were on the night watch, and they said that in the past, during the night watch, they would also find places to eat and drink. Sometimes they met people from the mansion as hosts, and sometimes they found places by themselves. The young one thought Could it be that the few of them ate too much wine and knew they had caused a disaster, so they ran away secretly?"

Jia Ying's heart moved after hearing this, and she asked curiously, "How did you think of this?"

Babli replied: "When I was young, I had a drink with people that night."

Jia Ying waved impatiently at Babli, "Take your military stick."

After Babli left, Jia Ying said to the old servant: "Uncle Wu, go and find out who usually invites the night watchmen to drink, especially in the past few days."

What Jia Ying can be sure of is that there must be an inside thief in the family, but who it is is still waiting for the results of the investigation.

After arranging things in the mansion, Jia Ying was planning to go to Lin's mansion, and when he got out of the room, he found that Jia Rong was still in the courtyard.

"What, but what do you want? It doesn't matter what you want, just ask, as long as it's your second uncle, I can do it."

Jia Rong stepped forward, looking hesitant to speak, hesitating, Jia Ying just watched quietly from the side.

In the end, Jia Rong seemed to have made up her mind, and said, "Second Uncle, my nephew doesn't want to hang around like this anymore, and wants to do something like Yun'er Qiang'er. Please help me with my second uncle."

Jia Ying looked Jia Rong up and down, and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly have such a plan?"

Jia Rong said: "My nephew just doesn't want to hang around like this anymore, and I don't want my father to beat and scold me frequently. I have to make a name for myself. Please help me."

"Your father scolded you again?" Jia Ying was stunned, and said with some headaches: "You are different from Yun'er and Qiang'er. They need to stand up on their own. You are the son of the family, how can you be like them?" Same, to manage the merchant business? As for the official career or the military.”

Jia Ying paused before saying, "You don't study or learn martial arts, and you have a weak temper, so it's not suitable for you."

When Jia Rong heard this, she immediately knelt down and begged, "Second Uncle, I beg Second Uncle to help my nephew. This is all my nephew asks for. If you can help Second Uncle Lian, so can my nephew."

Jia Ying laughed and said, "Your Uncle Lian is not me."

Halfway through the conversation, Jia Ying suddenly stopped, looked at Jia Rong thoughtfully, smiled deeper, and asked, "What exactly do you want me to do for you?"
