The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 237 Whispering
In the afternoon of that day, Mu Xufang returned home from his uncle's house after having a drink. When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Wang Xifeng's voice coming from inside.

Seeing Mu Xu coming in, Daiyu and the others stopped chatting and wanted to stand up to greet her. He smiled and waved, "Just say what you say, don't worry about me!" Walking closer, he stretched out his hand and pinched Qiaojie's little cheek , found that Daiyu and the others were all there, but only Yinglian was missing, so he asked casually, "Why didn't you see Yinglian?"

Daiyu replied, "She is not feeling well today, so she stayed in the room to rest." Mu Xu became worried when she heard this, and was about to turn around to visit Yinglian's, but Daiyu held back her sleeves. "Don't worry, I have already consulted an imperial doctor to treat her. There is nothing serious, but she is a little nervous because her delivery date is approaching. Besides, her mother will be with her, so it doesn't matter if you go there later. Sister-in-law is looking for you."

Hearing this, Mu Xu turned his head to look at Wang Xifeng, not wanting that Sister Feng, who is always known for being generous and cheerful, would show a rare expression of coyness, which surprised him greatly, and couldn't help joking, "Hey, it's rare to see a girl from a high school. Haojie's second sister-in-law will be embarrassed, is this really a Western scene?"

Wang Xifeng blushed slightly, rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid of embarrassing my brother-in-law!" She has always liked to beat snakes and sticks, and seeing that Mu Xu was in a good mood at this time, she followed the trend Talking euphemistically about the purpose of this trip, "Lian Er and I heard about something from our second younger sister yesterday, so we want to ask my brother-in-law for details."

Mu Xu understood Wang Xifeng's intentions after thinking about it for a while. He pondered for a moment, "I understand what Second Sister-in-law means. It's not a big deal, but if you want to fulfill your wish, you also need Brother Lian's help." help."

Wang Xifeng was full of thoughts on how to keep Jia Lian from being demoted to become a noble, so he said neatly immediately, "Whatever you need him to do, just ask my brother-in-law."

"It's not urgent, you can ask Second Brother Lian to come to our house once later, and I will explain to him personally." Mu Xu didn't want to talk about this matter in front of Daiyu and the others, so he replied evasively.Wang Xifeng is such a clever person, when he heard him say this, he immediately said, "Yes, yes, you men's affairs should be discussed by yourselves."

"What kind of dumb are you guys playing? It makes people feel confused!" Daiyu frowned curiously on the side, Mu Xu laughed when he heard this, and Wang Xifeng said, "Hey, it's not my brother-in-law who handed me over to you!" Your second elder brother Lian has an errand, and he is afraid of messing it up, so he asked me to check on my brother-in-law."

After hearing this, Daiyu didn't delve into it any further. Seeing that she had finished talking about her business, she continued to discuss parenting experiences with Wang Xifeng. Even Baochai and Qingwen listened with gusto.Seeing this, Mu Xu greeted them and went to visit Yinglian.

The next day, Jia Lian came to Dongping Palace as promised. Mu Xu didn't talk nonsense, and told him his plan directly, "I will inform General Chen Ting in advance, and someone will come to your house to contact your father in two days. Discuss the matter of Sun Shaozu. After Sun Shaozu enters the Beijing camp, he will use the collected evidence of the crime to find someone to participate in it."

"Your father will be implicated as the recommender at that time, and what you have to do is to persuade him to plead guilty in advance, and with the merits of reporting Sun Shaozu, I will also speak well for you at the time of His Majesty, and strive to let you To attack the noble without degrading."

After hearing this, Jia Lian thanked Mu Xu first, and then said worriedly, "But I'm afraid that if this happens, others will really think that I betrayed my father for glory, and in the future..."

Mu Xu thought about it carefully, and felt that his worry was not unreasonable, so he said, "I will persuade His Majesty not to mention this matter in the imperial decree, and say that it is due to your ancestors. After all, the title your father inherited back then is indeed a bit It's too low." Having said so much, Jia Lian of course had nothing to say, and then left with a thousand thanks.

In the days that followed, Jia Lian sent Zhao'er, a servant, to keep an eye on the movement of the East Road Courtyard. After learning that Wang Baoshan had brought two people to Jia She's study, he was secretly happy, knowing that his good deed was imminent.Sure enough, after the fifteenth day, a servant of Dongping Palace sent him a message, asking him to follow the plan.

Jia Lian immediately put on a panicked look, and rushed all the way into Jia Amnesty's room.Jia She, who was drinking and joking with Qiu Tong, was taken aback by his son, and then became angry, picked up the wine glass and threw it over, "You bastard, can the rules be eaten by dogs?"

Jia Lian didn't care about it either, she just looked anxious and shouted, "Master, something is wrong, you've been ginsenged!"

"What!" Jia Sheten stood up abruptly, showing disbelief, and then sternly shouted at Qiutong, "Get out, don't allow anyone to approach the study room without my order!"

When there were only father and son left in the room, Jia She then came to Jia Lian, grabbed his hand and asked, "What did you mean just now, who joined me and why?"

"The prince of Dongping just sent someone to privately inform his son that the grandson Shaozu who was recommended by the master has been imprisoned due to a death lawsuit. Now there is a censor who uses him as the master's recommendation to join you in corrupting the law."

"Then Sun Shaozu clearly said that he is an innocent family, how could he be involved in a life lawsuit?"

"My lord, why don't you understand! He will naturally hide something in order to let you run for him. I have received definite information that Sun Shaozu's temper was very surly and twisted in private, and he secretly tortured seven women to death. , Now the Ministry of Criminal Justice has received the local files, and there are even a lot of witnesses, the evidence for this matter is conclusive, and there is absolutely no mistake!"

"This bastard, how dare you lie to me like this, I can't spare him..." Jia Amnesty was pacing in the room and swearing. After a long time, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Jia Lian, "What does the prince of Dongping say?" You must know that he and Chen Ting also had a hand in this matter!"

Jia Lian stared, as if looking at a fool, "Master, what good things are you thinking! What are the identities of Dongping Wang Shizi and General Chen? Can you compare with them? Once this matter touches them, do you think you can do it?" good?"

"You mean, let me bear all the blame alone?" Although Jia Amnesty said so, he also knew in his heart that this is probably the best way at present.He took several steps back and sat down on the chair. After a long silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "Then you didn't ask, how will the court punish me if I am willing to plead guilty?"

Seeing Jia Amnesty like this, Jia Lian couldn't bear it for a while, but thinking of the persuasion of Liu Xianglian and others, she secretly told herself that it was all for the good of the master, and that he would just be more filial to him in the future.

"Prince Dongping said that he will personally intercede for you in front of the emperor, but the impact of Sun Shaozu's case is too bad. I am afraid it is impossible for you to get out of your body. Therefore, the only way to survive is to cut off your tail. The best policy is to retreat to keep our family's title."

"You mean... let me resign on my own initiative and pass on the title to you?" Jia She looked at Jia Lian suspiciously, and began to wonder if his son was playing tricks on this matter.But seeing that calm expression, and thinking about the fact that Sun Shaozu's case is not difficult to inquire about, he dismissed the idea.He weighed repeatedly in his heart, although he was not willing to hand over the title just like that, but for the sake of his family and life, he really didn't care so much now.

"Okay, I'll make an apology shortly, but you must promise me a few conditions."

Seeing that he had finally convinced his father, Jia Lian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Although the master says, as long as the son agrees, he will never refuse!"

"Hmph, don't talk so loudly, listen to my conditions first, and then talk. First, we, father and son, get half of our eldest house's silver. Second, you have to honor me with [-] taels of silver every year. Third, The East Road Courtyard can't let your wife interfere, I don't like women from the Wang family."

"My lord, there is no problem with the second and third clauses, but the first clause is too harsh, isn't it? You don't know that the public treasury of our house has been able to run away rats for a long time, and now it all depends on this money. The money keeps the mansion running. If you take so much at once, do you want the mansion to be decent?"

"Stop talking nonsense to me, isn't it true that the family has no future, only going out but not coming in?"

"If you want to say that, then the second clause will be void!" Now that he was talking about money, Jia Lian also argued with reason and refused to give in at all.In the end, after a lot of verbal confrontation and bargaining between the father and son, they finally reached their respective psychological expectations.
