The Red Mansions

Chapter 175 Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu were both arrested

night.

After a few thunderclaps, it suddenly began to rain heavily.

The air is warm and the wind howls.

In the shops on both sides of the road, there are sporadic lights flickering, and the light penetrates into the street on a rainy night, leaving only faint spots of color.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu went to the restaurant to enjoy themselves together, and then returned home surrounded by a group of servants.

When I went there, I rode a horse, but when I came back, it rained heavily, and a group of people were soaked in water.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu ignored the young men running on the ground and galloped forward with whips.

The rain was heavy and hazy.

Suddenly, Jia Lian frowned, feeling that there seemed to be lights shining on the road ahead, and before he could recover, he bumped into it with a bang.

"Ouch!" Someone wailed loudly.

A group of people were knocked to and fro, and before they had time to react, Jia Baoyu from behind continued to bump into him.

"Ah!" There was a scream, followed by a muffled "bang".

Adding up the two parties, there were no. 30 people, dizzy and swearing. After regaining consciousness, they both watched two people lying on the ground, bleeding from their seven orifices, motionless.

"Quick, save people!"

"Ah! It's the young master, help!"

"Wrap around, don't let them run away! They're killing people!"

"Dead! Ah! Dead! Come on!"

"Hurry up and tell the soldiers and police patrolling the street to come over, hurry up!"

"..."

A group of people suddenly fell out, shouting and pushing.

The dead party was furious, and the Jia family were all dumbfounded and at a loss.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, who got off their horses, were also stunned. They gritted their teeth and looked at the two corpses on the ground. Their pupils constricted, they were flustered and at a loss as to what to do, and their hearts were shaking.

"Boom!" Thunder and lightning flashed in the night sky.

The dazzling thunder and lightning shone on the pale and bewildered faces of Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, who were pushed and stumbled at the same time.

"Are you blind? Such a big road, but you want to hit our son!"

"Murder pays for life, you just wait to go to jail!"

"Lawless, it's almost lawless. You are riding horses and rampaging through the streets. Does the road belong to your family?"

"..."

Just as the two sides were coming and going, more than a dozen soldiers and horses came on horseback. The leader reined in his horse and stopped, and shouted: "Surround up, and no one is allowed to leave!"

The soldiers rushed forward, pressed down and tied up the noisy people one by one, and at the same time notified Shuntian Prefecture to send people to investigate the scene.

Rongguofu.

Jia's mother was talking and laughing with Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun and other female relatives when suddenly a nun ran in in a panic.

"Old lady, it's not good. Mingyan informed outside that Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao, together with their entourage, have just been taken away by the guards of Shuntian Mansion!"

Mother Jia was shocked when she heard the words, and said anxiously: "What? Why was it taken away by the guards when it was fine? What's the matter? Call Mingyan in for questioning!"

The servant girl withdrew and called for someone.

Wang Xifeng and other female family members panicked.

Jia Mu was upset, and angrily said: "Shut up, why are you arguing, let's find a way after Mingyan comes in to understand the situation!"

While talking, Mingyan was brought in, knelt down and kowtowed, and told what happened on the street just now.

Before Jia's mother could speak, Wang Xifeng said angrily: "When the second master Lian went out in the evening, I was not at ease, so I advised him not to go. He still wanted to take Baoyu there."

"It's good now, he didn't say something happened to him, and Baoyu was involved, what should we do?"

While talking, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing all came over.

After Jiamu asked Mingyan to repeat it, she told Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng:

"You brothers, go to Shuntian Mansion to find out the situation, and see if you can think of a way to do it privately as soon as possible. Don't let my Baoyu be wronged!"

Jia Zhen answered, "I'll go with you too, and I can help out if I have something to do."

The matter was urgent, Jia Amnesty and the others ignored the heavy rain and immediately had horses prepared, put on coir raincoats and rushed to the Shuntian government office.

After they left, Mother Jia glanced at the weeping Mrs. Wang, sighed, and waved to the female relatives, "Let's all go away..."

Shuntian Mansion Prison.

Jia Amnesty and others were stopped outside and were not allowed to enter.

Jia Rong, who was behind, hurried forward, touched the ingot of silver, and handed it to the jailer without a trace.

The head of the cell nodded silently, pulled a few people aside, and said expressionlessly:
"This is not the time to visit the prison. Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu were walking on the street and killed someone. The witnesses and material evidence are all correct, and they have also issued custody and pleaded guilty."

"There is a way to kill people to pay for their lives, and to pay off debts. Now it is time for Shuntian Mansion to crack down on crimes. In line with the principle of strict and serious handling, this matter has been reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice overnight!"

"If you want to find a way, go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and hurry up. If it's too late, the lives of the two of you may be lost!"

After speaking, the cell boss turned and left.

Jia Amnesty took a deep breath and said, "It's so serious, what the prison boss said was right, we really need to find a solution quickly."

"I didn't expect that the case would be finalized in such a short time and reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If we are slow and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will review it, there will be no room for reversing the matter!"

Jia Zhen said: "I think we have to ask the king of Beijing County for this matter. I'm afraid he is the only one who has a way to get Jia Lian and Baoyu out of this kind of life-threatening matter."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng looked at each other and sighed silently. They were restless at the moment, so they had no choice but to ask the king of Beijing County.

After all, the King of Beijing County is the leader of the four kings and eight lords, and he is a family friend with the Jia family. Even though they seldom bother the King of Beijing County, they can't take care of so much when they encounter such a difficult matter today. .

……

"Is it hot? If it's hot, I'll send some ice cubes in."

In front of the desk, Jia Yun hugged Lin Daiyu and said softly.

Lin Daiyu shook her head, her mouth was dry, and she said weakly: "You will torment me, brother Yun, I'm afraid I can't help it anytime, it's too torture."

"Food and drink, men and women, people have great desires! Daiyu, you can't refuse me." Jia Yun bit her ear and said.

Lin Daiyu blushed, hummed, her eyes were blurred, and her whole body limp into a ball.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

The two let out a long breath, and Jia Yun whispered: "Wait for me, I'll go back as soon as I go."

"Hmm..." Lin Daiyu replied, lying on the table covering her face and not speaking.

Jia Yun smiled, got up and came to the washstand, washed her hands, and walked out.

In the corridor, Jia Wenlin stepped forward and whispered: "Everything is settled, the case has been finalized, and it was reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice overnight. Even if they can find a way to reduce the sentence, they can at least get a sentence of [-] years."

Jia Yun nodded, and pondered: "You didn't show up, did you?"

"No, everything happened naturally, and my subordinates stayed away from it from the beginning." Jia Wenlin affirmed.

After a pause, he hesitated and said, "Each of them gave 3000 taels of silver. The two scholars were ill and could not be cured anyway. It would be good if they were hit to death. At least they could leave some property for the family. They were willing."

Jia Yun: "Only those two scholars know about everything? Are you sure no one else knows?"

"Absolutely not. The subordinates personally tracked and monitored them and found nothing wrong with them. This is not good for their families. I believe they can understand the importance." Jia Wenlin said.

Rain fell from the roof and splashed on the ground.

The lights in the corridor were a little dim, the wind stopped, and the air was a little dull.

Jia Yun stretched her waist, nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is over, Uncle Lin, only you and I know about this matter, we must keep our mouths tight from now on, even if we talk in our sleep at night, we must not reveal a single word." .”

"Master, don't worry, this subordinate will definitely forget everything about today." Jia Wenlin said solemnly.

Jia Yun nodded and regretted, "It's a pity that only Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu were arrested today. It would be great if Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen could be brought together."

"How about we..." Jia Wenlin eagerly asked.

Jia Yun rolled her eyes and said, "Come on, this kind of thing can only be done once, don't make extra troubles, or you will get yourself into it, really think everyone else is a fool?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you've been busy for a few days, go down and have a good rest for a few days, let Uncle Dazheng lead the class these days."

Jia Wenlin cupped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, master, for your compassion. This subordinate is planning to take some time to renovate the house at home. Now the family has so much money that there is really no place to spend it."

"Heh, then you bring it and I'll help you spend it." Jia Yun laughed.

Jia Wenlin shook her head and said, "No, my little money is hard-earned money. I dare not squander it. In addition to supporting my family, I also have to save it to marry a wife!"

Jia Yun glared and said, "Then don't be shy in front of me. If you have money, you should spend it sparingly. When you have children in the future, why don't you let them learn to read, write and practice martial arts? That's all a matter of money!"

After the two chatted for a while, Jia Wenlin said goodbye and left.

Jia Yun stood under the eaves and pondered for a while, and after finding nothing wrong, she turned and went back to the house.

inside the room.

Even though she was very skilled at playing with Jia Yun, Lin Daiyu was still extremely shy.

She was lying on the table, and when she heard the footsteps, she was both looking forward to and afraid, for fear that she would be eaten up by Jia Yun in a daze and lose her innocence.

But she really couldn't bear to reject Jia Yun.

What the old master said is right, eating and drinking men and women, people have great desires!
Just as she was thinking about something, she was picked up by Jia Yun. Lin Daiyu groaned and fell into his arms.

"Come here this time, plan to play for a few days before going back?" Jia Yun smelled her hair and said softly.

Lin Daiyu replied: "Look, if you treat me well, I will play for a few more days, and if you make me angry one day, I will go home immediately."

Jia Yun laughed and said, "Our yard is finished, do you want to pick one and decorate it in advance?"

"This...isn't it good? I haven't passed the door yet..." Lin Daiyu hesitated.

Jia Yun persuaded: "The things in the backyard will not be spread. What are you afraid of? Our house is not like Jia's house. Whenever there is a disturbance, it will spread everywhere. If you like it, you can choose a yard and keep it." .”

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine, choose earlier, and you will have more choices..."
