The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 122 Specializes in dealing with tough talk, copying if you don’t have money (please subscribe!)

Feng Qiwei couldn't help but laugh out loud as he watched his disciple flee.

Jia Shan and Jia Lian walked in, and Jia Shan gave a thumbs up to the leader of Fengqi Guard.

"It has to be you Fengqiwei!"

"My second brother and I came here and let the groom knock for a long time, but the door wasn't even opened. You guys only came here for a moment before it opened."

"Master Xiao Jia, this is a wonderful compliment."

The leader of Fengqi Guard bowed humbly to Jia Shan.

"We are all warriors, so we are naturally much faster than Mr. Xiao Jia when we move."

Jia Shan and the leader of Feng Qiwei smiled at the same time.

"Bold!"

"How dare you break into the Duke of Qi's mansion?"

Chen Zhenming, the eldest son of Duke Qi, hurried over with a group of servants angrily.

The servants all held weapons in their hands, and the leader of Fengqi Guard was not afraid at all.

He called in the twenty or so Fengqi Wei Erlang who were standing outside.

A group of strong men, all looking fierce and wearing armor.

At the command of the leader of Fengqiwei, they all pulled out the Xiuchun Dao fastened to their waists.

Chen Zhenming came out and was stunned.

"We are ordered to handle the case, but you want to resist the order."

The leader of Fengqiwei stared at Chen Zhenming in front of him, with a cold look in his eyes.

Chen Zhenming couldn't help but shudder, this was coming for real.

"Did I, Duke of Qi, commit any crimes? Your Fengqi guards couldn't help but come up and knock on the door."

The leader of Fengqiwei sneered and looked at Jia Shan who was hiding behind him like a stick.

Jia Shan held a booklet in her hand and walked out from behind the leader of Fengqi Guard.

"Xia Shouzhong has surrendered to the law and confessed your bribery."

"Today, I and the leader of Fengqi Guard are here to investigate the bribery matter."

"The Duke of Qi must have heard about this matter."

Jia Shan asked Chen Zhenming, the eldest son of Duke Qi in front of him, and Chen Zhenming was stunned.

"My Duke of Qi's mansion has nothing to do with Xia Shouzhong, please leave!"

Chen Zhenming wants to drive people away.

But he, Jia Shan, was easily driven away, so Jia Shan took out a piece of silver.

There is a large Chinese character "Chen" engraved on the bottom of the silver.

Chen Zhenming's eyes paused.

"Does the elder of the Chen family know this?"

Jia Shan shook the money in her hand, while Chen Zhenming pretended to be calm, but his eyes began to wander.

"Why don't you know it? This is my Chen family's money."

"But can you convict me, the Duke of Qi, with just a few ingots of silver? I, the Duke of Qi, have a bank in my name."

"There are quite a few people in Beijing who have money from my Chen family."

Jia Shan put away the silver ingots, her eyes full of smiles.

Knowing that you didn't recognize him, Jia Shan turned his attention to Feng Qiwei.

"General, Xia Shouzhong has been brought to justice. Your Majesty asked me to come today just to ask questions. If you don't admit it, then just arrest him."

"Feng Qiwei's prison should be able to make him open his mouth."

Fengqiwei's people began to arrest people under Jia Shan's orders.

The servants of the Chen family tried to stop him, but were frightened by the knife in Feng Qiwei's hand, and all of them retreated like a shrunken turtle.

Chen Zhenming became anxious and started to yell.

"Jia Shan, how dare you? In terms of seniority, I am your uncle."

"Aren't you afraid of the revenge of other bastards?"

Hearing Chen Zhenming's words, Jia Shan waved her hand and asked Feng Qiwei, who had grabbed him, to put him down.

Chen Zhenming fell to the ground, and Jia Shan took a step forward.

"The four princes and eight princes are all your Majesty's ministers. I am working for your Majesty, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

"What qualifications do they have to retaliate."

Jia Shan questioned Chen Zhenming.

Chen Zhenming stared at Jia Shan.

"Stop pretending to me, you are able to achieve such success in court, and you don't have to rely on the connections between Rongguo Mansion and the four princes and eight princes."

Jashan frowned.

He climbed up to his current official position step by step, and he actually said that he relied on the connections in Rongguo Mansion.

This is ignoring human blood and sweat.

Jia Shan had a sullen face, feeling for the first time the helplessness of the second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people.

No matter what achievements this second-generation official and rich second-generation man has done, it all comes down to his family that he relies on.

Completely ignore this person's efforts, all in all, without your family, you are nothing.

Jia Lian saw Jia Shan's anger and stepped back to prevent himself from being splashed with blood.

Jashan spoke.

"My official position was earned through my own efforts, not through the Rongguo Mansion."

Chen Zhenming laughed.

"If you didn't rely on the Rongguo Mansion, how could you have climbed to the position of the Prince's Attendant at such a young age with just a few crooked ways."

"Do you know what the position of the Prince's Attendant is?"

Chen Zhenming asked Jia Shan back, looking at Jia Shan with disdain in his eyes.

"We serious scholars, without any background, would have to study hard for ten years to get to this position, and then we would be nothing more than a remote county magistrate."

Only then did Jia Shan take a serious look at Chen Zhenming in front of her.

In front of him, Chen Zhenming was wearing a scholar's robe, and he looked older than his father.

Jia Lian whispered a few words in Jia Shan's ear.

Jia Shan suddenly realized that she was a rotten scholar who had failed the test for a long time.

To say that you are a corrupt scholar is to insult the word corrupt scholar.

After all, he is not even a child, how can he be called a Confucian scholar.

Jashan smiled.

A person's vision is limited to this, so why should he talk too much with a frog in the well.

"Capture General!"

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the leader of Fengqiwei. Without saying anything, he directly let people be arrested.

Chen Zhenming started yelling, and Feng Qiwei took out his sweat towel and stuffed it into his mouth.

Smelling the smell of sweat on Feng Qiwei's sweat towel, Chen Zhenming began to roll his eyes.

"stop!"

Duke Guo of Qi, who had hurriedly returned from the capital camp, saw his eldest son being held by someone and immediately became angry.

"What are you doing? Are you going to rebel?"

"This is the Duke's Mansion of Qi. The rules were set as early as Taizu's time. You are not allowed to enter the Duke's Mansion without permission. What is your crime for breaking into the Duke's Mansion without permission?"

Qi Guogong ran over with a long stride and punched the two Fengqi guards holding Chen Zhenming twice.

Blood flowed from the corners of the mouths of the two Fengqi guards.

The leader of Fengqi Guard felt heartbroken when he saw his soldiers being beaten.

Duke Qi took out the smelly sweat towel from Chen Zhenming's mouth.

Chen Zhenming began to cry loudly.

"Father, they bullied me!"

Seeing Chen Zhenming's hopeless and embarrassing look, Qi Guogong quickly asked someone to take him away.

Chen Zhenming cried while being carried.

Jia Shan twitched the corners of her mouth, complaining that the Duke of Qi refused to retire at such an old age.

Chen Zhenming looked like he couldn't help him up. If it were him, he wouldn't leave.

After dealing with Chen Zhenming, Qi Guogong's scheming eyes fell on Jia Shan.

"You are the mistress of Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Shan nodded heavily and saluted Duke Qi.

"I have met Duke Qi."

Qi Guogong's eyes were full of scrutiny of Jia Shan.

"You are so brave. When your grandfather was here, you didn't even dare to act recklessly in the Duke of Qi's mansion."

"You dare to lead people to break open the gate of the Duke of Qi's mansion."

Jia Shan, who was seen through by Duke Qi, smiled awkwardly.

"The Duke of Qi has done a wonderful job. This junior is handling the case according to the order."

"No matter how hard I knock, I can't knock the door open. I have no choice but to do this."

Duke Qi's eyes flashed, and he remembered a Hubu carriage parked at the door.

"Is that carriage outside yours?"

Jashan nodded heavily.

"It's mine!" Hearing that it was Jia Shan's, Duke Qi wanted to curse.

You are riding in a carriage that collects bills, and you blame them for not opening the door to the Duke of Qi's mansion.

"Follow me!"

Jia Shan and Jia Lian were taken to the front hall of the Duke of Qi's mansion.

The servants brought the tea, and Bull of Qi took a sip.

"Tell me, why are you here?"

"Don't talk about Xia Shouzhong, who is he? He is not worthy of the emperor and the emperor's trouble."

Duke Guo of Qi exposed Jia Shan directly.

As he said, Xia Shouzhong was indeed unworthy.

Jia Shan opened her mouth with a smile.

"As Qi Guogong said, it is indeed true."

"Then Xia Shouzhong is not worthy, but the people involved are."

Jia Shan asked Duke Qi.

From ancient times to the present, emperors have tabooed collusion between the former dynasty and the harem.

At this point, Qi Guogong also understood.

This was not to investigate Xia Shouzhong, but to investigate Concubine Zhen. They were found out from Concubine Zhen.

"My Duke of Qi has never had any contact with the harem. You can leave."

The Duke of Qi always has a tough talk.

Seeing Duke Qi's guilty look, Jia Shan snickered in her heart.

Do you always know that you and your son are carved from the same mold? Even if you hide your guilty conscience well, they are exactly the same.

Jashan took out a book and slammed it on the table.

"Whether there is contact or not is not up to you. Your Majesty has all the accounts."

Duke Guo of Qi glanced at the account book thrown on the table by Jia Shan.

I felt more and more guilty, and unknowingly, I was sweating under the cool weather.

Jashan spoke again.

"Do you admit it or not?"

Duke Qi tried to calm down and looked at Jia Shan.

"Does Your Majesty really want to punish me, Duke of Qi?"

Duke Guo of Qi was not in a hurry to plead guilty and instead asked Jia Shan.

A smile appeared on Jia Shan's lips and she patted the ledger with her hand.

"what do you think."

Duke Qi's complexion began to turn dark, but Jia Shan did not accept this trick at all.

When the Duke of Qi saw that Jia Shan was not getting enough money, he simply gave up.

"What on earth are you here for?"

Seeing Duke Qi's anxious look, Jia Shan smiled and said nothing.

"Junior, there is a saying that people should be spared and spared. Now, although our Duke's Palace of Qi is also in decline, there is really no one in the court."

Mrs. Qi Lao Guogong was helped out by her maid.

"Tell me, why did His Majesty send you here?"

The real leader of the Qi family came out.

The old lady in front of her was no ordinary person. Back then she was very sure of her appointment as Duke of Qi.

So much so that the Duke of Qi had to be secretive when looking for a little wife in the back.

Seeing her, the current Duke of Qi quickly gave up his seat to her.

Mrs. Qi Lao Guoguo sat down, and Jia Shan knew that the real dispute had begun.

"Does His Majesty ask you to punish the Chen family?"

Mrs. Qi Laoguo was sitting leisurely.

Jason smiled.

"almost!"

Mrs. Qi Laoguo couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't blame me, old lady, I look down on you. If Your Majesty really wanted to punish the Chen family, why would he let you, a stinking baby, come here?"

"Tell me what exactly His Majesty asked you to do."

Mrs. Qi Lao Guoguo directly exposed Jia Shan, and Jia Shan took a sip of the tea in the cup calmly.

Mrs. Qi Lao Guoguo narrowed her eyes.

Jashan spoke.

"The junior will get straight to the point. His Majesty sent me here to give the Duke of Qi a chance."

"If the Duke of Qi pleads guilty, Your Majesty will be lenient and let bygones be bygones."

"If you continue to be careless and refuse to admit it, then don't blame your Majesty for not remembering the founding of the country and starting to ransack your homes."

Jashan spoke directly.

Mrs. Qi Laoguo remained unmoved, as if they were not the ones whose house was going to be ransacked.

"As far as I know, your Rongguo Mansion also helped a lot. Your Majesty didn't punish you?"

When it came to Rongguo Mansion, a glint flashed in Jia Shan's eyes.

"It's cured. I, the Rongguo Mansion, accept your Majesty's punishment. Your Majesty has forgiven my family."

Mrs. Qi Laoguo was too lazy to speak any more.

"Tell me how your Majesty wants the Chen family to forgive me."

Jia Shan smiled slightly, this old lady was nice and more decisive than her tough-talking son.

Duke Qi was shocked and pulled Mrs. Qi, who glared at him.

Duke Qi was afraid of his mother from the bottom of his heart, so he became honest.

Jia Shan took out a book made of IOUs.

Turn to the page of the Duke's Mansion of Qi.

Mrs. Qi's face turned green. She wanted her family to pay back the money.

30 taels, even if the entire Qi Duke's mansion is empty.

Jia Shan stared at Mrs. Qi in front of her.

"Old Duke Madam, this is an opportunity given by Your Majesty to the Duke of Qi."

"The Jia family has paid back the money a long time ago because of this matter."

"Now, His Majesty has given you the opportunity, but you must seize it."

Mrs. Qi looked away from the note and looked up at Jia Shan.

"The Duke of Qi's government doesn't have that kind of money."

Jashan frowned.

The Duke's Mansion of Qi could be worse than the Duke's Mansion of Rong.

Duke Rong and Duke Ning gritted their teeth and could take it out, but they couldn't.

"The imperial court supports the payment of debts with assets. Does the old lady have something that can offset the money?"

Mrs. Qi was silent.

Now the court has become so unscrupulous.

If you don't have money, you can exchange it for something.

Mrs. Qi looked at Jia Shan.

"If you really force the Duke of Qi to pay back the money, the Duke of Qi will have no choice but to sell it on the street."

Jia Shan was startled, what kind of rogue operation this was.

Knowing that the court values ​​face the most, you still use this method to embarrass the court.

I am not afraid that the emperor will be really angry and punish the Duke of Qi.

Jia Lian lay down and said a few words in Jia Shan's ear.

Jia Shan's eyes widened in shock and she looked at Jia Lian in disbelief.

Asking Jia Lian with his eyes, Jia Lian nodded heavily. The Duke of Qi could really do it.

The former Minister of Household Affairs was forced away by them in this way, so much so that the current Minister of Household Affairs did not dare to press too hard against these nobles.

And this is because they are really shameless.

Mrs. Qi, the old lady, was sitting there, looking like you couldn't cure me.

Jia Shan gathered the things on the table into her arms and looked at Feng Qiwei, who had been standing aside for a long time, looking a little bored.

“If you don’t have money, let’s ransack your home!”

Jia Shan pulled Jia Lian out and Mrs. Qi's eyes widened. He was serious.

"Junior, stop!"

"Old lady, I never said I wouldn't pay it back. You can't just steal the Duke of Qi's mansion."

Jashan turned back.

"But you said you have no money. Are you going to let me confiscate your house?"

"His Majesty gave you a chance!"

Jia Shan spread her hands helplessly.

"Come back, junior!"
