The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 120 Not guilty?There are ways to make people recognize you! (Please subscribe!)

Jia Lian and Jia Shan looked at each other.

The money in Ningguo Mansion is easy to explain, Mrs. Wang.

At that time, the Ningguo Mansion also found out that this was a family matter.

And it’s hard to explain other people’s money.

Especially in such huge quantities.

The eunuchs looked at each other and turned their attention to Jia Shan and Jia Lian.

"You two adults have to come with us."

Jia Shan and Jia Lian were stunned for a while, with confusion on Jia Lian's face.

Jia Shan reacted and looked at the eunuch.

"My brother and I have not made any mistakes, why did my father-in-law take me and my brother away?"

Seeing Jia Shan's panicked look, the leading eunuch couldn't help laughing and saluted Jia Shan.

"Master Xiao Jia made a mistake. Our family took you and your brother there not because you and your brother made a mistake."

"The amount is really huge. I need you and your brother to follow me to testify. The Emperor can also ask some other questions."

The eunuch explained to Jia Shan and Jia Lian.

The two of them nodded at the same time, as long as they were not taken away to be punished.

As for testifying, it's all trivial.

The two got on the carriage again, and the eunuchs borrowed a number of oxen and carriages from the four villages.

Returned loaded with the things found.

When they arrived at the palace, the atmosphere in the hall was tense. Yuanchun had been given a seat by the Supreme Emperor because of his status.

As for Concubine Zhen, the Emperor still has some affection for her.

She was also given a seat, otherwise it would be too much of an eyesore to just kneel like this for an hour or two.

The leading eunuch walked in.

When you see the person sitting on the table, you should bow first.

"As expected by Your Majesty, I, together with the magistrate of Wanping County and Lord Xiao Jia, seized no less than 10 taels of items from several of my private residences."

"Among them, there are [-] in cash, [-] in several private residences, and the remaining [-] are the antique treasures collected by this slave."

The leading eunuch handed over the prepared account books.

Xia Shouzhong was so frightened that he peed his pants and knelt down in front of the Supreme Emperor.

"Your Majesty, this slave is wronged. This money does not belong to the slave."

"Someone must have framed me."

The Supreme Emperor looked through the account books and remained silent.

After flipping through the ten or twenty pages of the account book, the Supreme Emperor laughed angrily and laughed.

"Xia Shouzhong, Xia Shouzhong, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

The Supreme Emperor smashed the account book in his hand into Xia Shouzhong's face.

Xia Shouzhong didn't have time to think about how they found it, and kept kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, this slave is unjustly accused."

"This money is not for slaves."

The Supreme Emperor stared at Xia Shouzhong in front of him.

"You said the money is not yours, but this house is yours."

The Supreme Emperor questioned Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong agreed immediately.

"That Zhuangzi is mine, Your Majesty!"

"But the old slave hasn't been there much since he bought it."

The Supreme Emperor looked at Xia Shouzhong with a sneer.

"Just admit it, Xia Shouzhong, I want to ask you how much the eunuch's salary is for the Sixth Palace."

"180 six taels of silver per year."

Xia Shouzhong answered truthfully.

"You also know that your house in the capital is worth three to four thousand taels of silver. I ask you where you got the money to buy the house."

The Supreme Emperor asked Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong's expression gradually became calmer, and he saluted the Supreme Emperor.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me."

"The house in Beijing was not bought by me."

The Supreme Emperor frowned.

"You said you didn't buy this house?"

Xia Shouzhong nodded heavily and looked at Concubine Zhen aside.

"In this house in the capital, there is a set that was given to me by the old lady of my mother-in-law's family in the early days, so that the slave can take good care of my mother-in-law."

"The second set was given by the Empress to the slave because he served me well, and the last set was given by the loyal and filial prince to express his appreciation for the old slave's hard work in serving the Empress."

After listening to Xia Shouzhong's words, the Supreme Emperor turned his attention to Concubine Zhen and Prince Zhongxiao.

Prince Zhongxiao spoke.

"Father, what he said is true."

"When my grandmother came to Beijing, she gave him a property. Later, my mother-in-law and I also rewarded him with this property."

The Supreme Emperor waved the land deed of Zhuangzi outside Beijing in his hand.

"How can this be explained?"

Xia Shouzhong glanced at the land deed and said without blushing, "This old slave is also an old man, and he has many disciples and disciples in the palace."

"They were grateful for my teachings to them, so they chipped in money to buy a retirement land for me when land prices were low that year. The old slaves also filled in a lot of money to save enough money."

Let him explain everything.

How do you explain the antiques here? The Supreme Emperor asked Xiang Xia Shouzhong.

Xia Shouzhong still looked like he didn't blush and his heart didn't beat. He said it was given to him by his disciples and disciples.

He dared to say so.

Fortunately, there is evidence.

Seeing that everything was settled, Xia Shouzhong suddenly started to cry.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for this old slave. This old slave has worked hard all his life, but when he is old, he is labeled as shit."

"Your Majesty, you must give me justice."

Xia Shouzhong kowtowed towards the Supreme Emperor.

The Emperor was dubious about his words.

The leading eunuch acted according to the opportunity and had a calculated plan in mind.

"The Wanping County Magistrate and Mr. Xiao Jia are both outside the palace. If your Majesty has any doubts, you can ask them."

Xia Shouzhong turned his head and glared at the leading eunuch angrily.

The leading eunuch showed no fear.

He had been eyeing Xia Shouzhong's position for a long time, but the Emperor was still alive and Concubine Zhen was not considered to have lost power.

He just succumbed to him and reluctantly became a eunuch of the Fourth Palace, two levels lower than him.

Now that there was a chance to pull him down, the leading eunuch naturally put all his energy into doing it.

The Supreme Emperor asked Jia Lian and Jia Shan to come in and ask.

The confused two people were brought in. When they saw Jia Lian, the Supreme Emperor was completely stunned.

So similar, this guy looks so much like Jia Daishan.

It is said that Jia Baoyu resembles Jia Daishan, but the one who most resembles Jia Daishan in the Rongguo Mansion is Jia Lian, especially his tall figure, which is a full nine points like him.

The remaining part is Jia Lian's expression.

Jia Lian is more gentle and cynical, while Jia Daishan is full of majesty.

Although he was handsome, everyone who saw him was intimidated by his eyes.

The Emperor's eyes turned to Jia Shan.

Jia Shan is not as similar to Jia Daishan as Jia Lian, but he is also his own school.

He has a unique and handsome temperament at a young age, and his delicate and raised eyebrows are even more eye-catching.

After scanning the two of them, the Supreme Emperor cast his gaze on the emperor's face.

Look at the appearance of the descendants of Jia Daishan, and then look at this one of your own.

Compare goods to throw away, people should be damned.

It's not bad to think about him. How come he looks like this?

The emperor felt the Emperor's eyes and couldn't help but touch his face with his hand.

Is there anything wrong with my face?

Keep staring at his face.

The Queen Mother on the other side saw the Emperor's gaze in her eyes. She disliked Si'er, so why didn't she dislike herself.

In the past years, Prince Yizhong was always talking about him, but he didn't even look at his own virtue.

Everyone knows that Prince Yi Zhong looks like Queen Mother Duan Hui, but he insists that he looks like her.

The Queen Mother glared back at the Emperor with hatred.

The Emperor was quite puzzled as to what was going on with this old woman.

The Supreme Emperor looked away guiltily.

Jia Shan and Jia Lian met with the Emperor, and the Emperor nodded lightly.

"You two get up."

"Yes, the Supreme Emperor!"

Jia Shan and Jia Lian stood up.

"I tell you that you came in because of Xia Shouzhong's case."

"You guys found this silver." The Supreme Emperor got right to the point. Jia Lian and Jia Shan looked serious and nodded heavily.

Jia Lian cupped his fists and saluted.

"When we returned to the Supreme Emperor, the villagers led the way to find the forest. The two ministers led the dogs and the government servants to find it."

"With a dog?"

The Supreme Emperor issued a soul question.

"With the dog!"

Jia Lian's face was full of seriousness.

"I once learned a skill from one of my masters during the reign of Taizu."

The Emperor was silent, remembering the bad memories.

Taizu used this dog to check him.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

The Emperor stopped Jia Lian's words, and the Queen Mother smiled again.

She became more and more jealous of the young man in front of her.

This is not a minister, this is her comrade-in-arms.

Jia Lian described the process of finding money in detail. Xia Shouzhong refused to admit that it was not him who killed the money.

It was someone else who framed him and deliberately threw money into his bank.

In addition, he also found fault, saying that the person handling the case was a member of Yuanchun's family.

Unbelievable, they are even more scoundrels Jia Shan and Jia Lian.

The Emperor's face was dark.

This is like the first time I cooked the squid, it was a sure thing.

He even turned over it quibly.

I don't even want to think about why Jia Lian and Jia Shan want to cheat on him as a eunuch.

As far as he knew, the Jia family was related to the Zhen family.

The case has become tense again.

Jia Shan looked at Xia Shouzhong in front of her speechlessly.

What can you say is wrong? You have to say that he and Jia Lian are scoundrels.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to avoid having Duke Xia admit his guilt and confirm his crime."

The Supreme Emperor turned his attention to Jia Shan, whom he had been ignoring.

"What can you do?"

Jason smiled.

"Eunuch Xia has a wide range of business. This bribe is not only from my Jia family, but also from other families. I just don't know if Your Majesty is willing to spare it."

The Supreme Emperor was startled.

"I, how can I risk my life?"

Jia Shan saluted the Supreme Emperor.

"Pardon the crimes of these families. After all, not all families are as bold as my eldest sister Yuan Yuan and dare to bring this matter to light. They are still afraid. They are afraid that the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty will convict them."

The people sitting on the high seats nodded in unison.

Especially the Supreme Emperor. He didn't want to get involved in this matter at first because it involved bribery.

And this bribery is not something aside, but something that happens among women.

This kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with. In the final analysis, it's all bullshit and a mess.

There are many such things in the palace. If you want to investigate, half of the eunuchs and maids in the palace will be gone.

But it was Jia Daishan, the granddaughter who revealed it. In addition, the amount involved was so huge.

He directly raised the nature of the question, especially since it also involved the house arrest of an ignorant woman, a concubine, etc.

The royal people were thrown away again and again.

If you throw it away again, the royal family will lose face.

"Are you sure they can admit it?"

Jashan showed a wicked smile.

"I can't guarantee it, but I have a way to make them admit it."

"Oh?" The Supreme Emperor became more energetic, "Tell me more."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jashan bowed again.

"It's very simple. Your Majesty only needs to set up a scam to expose Xia Shouzhong's corruption and bribery, and then order people to come to the door with money from each family."

"Tell them to plead guilty without punishment, and [-]% of them will plead guilty."

The Emperor's eyes moved.

"Paying bribes is a big mistake. Isn't it a little too easy for them to do so?"

Jia Shan stared at the Supreme Emperor.

The Emperor's hand kept rubbing the ledger, and Jia Shan smiled inwardly.

It seems that the emperor cannot escape the secular world and is still greedy for money.

Jia Shan bowed solemnly.

"Your Majesty is right, letting them go is too easy for them."

"You have to teach them a lesson."

The Emperor smiled, this boy was very wise.

"Tell me what punishment they should be given!"

A smile appeared on Jashan's face.

"I think many of these people who pay bribes owe money to the court. How about using this method to collect their debts to the court."

The emperor's eyes flashed. He had always wanted to ask these people for money.

This group of people is tightly united, and people from the household department come to collect debts and refuse to pay back the money for various reasons.

But the people in the household department didn't dare to push the situation.

Many of these people are their immediate bosses, or people related to their immediate bosses.

In this way, this debt has become a bad debt. It must be either returned or not, which makes my heart feel blocked.

Every time he thought of this, the emperor wished he could go and get it himself.

The Emperor is still dissatisfied. Is this his ultimate goal?

In the years since he became the Supreme Emperor, he has given birth to many more children.

Seeing that his pants pocket was about to bottom out.

He wants money!

Jia Shan understood. Before he finished speaking, Jia Shan showed a flattering look towards the Supreme Emperor.

"As for the money they paid for bribes, I don't recommend returning it to them."

"They should be taught a lesson and the money should be returned to the country."

The Supreme Emperor grinned and laughed.

"Good boy, you are better than your father."

Jashan waved her hand modestly.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I'm still a little behind my father."

"Engaged?"

The Emperor asked about Jia Shan's marriage.

Jia Shan's alarm bells are ringing, and the current emperor has a major hobby.

In the previous dynasty, many people were matchmakers for the Supreme Emperor.

For example, his father Jia She and his first wife, Lin Daiyu's mother, his sisters-in-law Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.

There is much more to it than that.

Jashan quickly replied.

"The boy is already engaged."

The Supreme Emperor looked shocked.

"You are so young, Enhou has already engaged you."

A sheepish smile appeared on Jashan's face.

"I fell in love with my cousin Lin Daiyu, so I asked my father to help me ask."

"I'll just wait until His Majesty gives me and my cousin a decree to get married."

Seeing Jia Shan's coquettish posture, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help laughing, and everyone in the hall also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

The Emperor glanced at the Emperor, who was also smiling with his eyes narrowed.

"I have made the decision on this matter, and I will grant you a marriage now."

The Emperor wants to marry Jia Shan.

Jia Shan was happy, but the emperor became anxious.

"Father, wait a minute!"

The emperor quickly stopped the emperor. If he wanted the donkey to go fast, he needed a stick and a carrot in front of him.

If the Supreme Emperor gives Jia Shan a marriage.

How could he induce Jia Shan to help him deal with King Zhongxiao.

The Supreme Emperor looked at the Emperor in confusion.

"Why not!"

"I have a question for you."

The Emperor's eyes widened and he refused to let him protect his beloved concubine, and now he even refused to grant her a marriage.

Why, you still want to go to heaven!
Being unfilial is extremely unfilial!
