Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 139 [139] Zhou Guiren's trap

Throughout the ages, it is human nature to love vanity.

Jiang Dawei's daughter, Jiang Wenjuan, lives in poverty. She gradually loses herself in the comparison with her neighbors and loves vanity. Coupled with her father's disappearance, life and death are uncertain, and she is even more irritable, insecure, and feels confused and hopeless about the future.

Jiang Wenjuan didn't want to be compared to the neighbor who just bought a necklace, so she went to a jewelry store and wanted to buy a gold necklace. After trying it on, she felt that it was too expensive, so she wanted to return it to the teller, but the teller made things difficult for her. She broke the necklace and must pay for it.

As a result, during the dispute, Tao Hongshan passed by the door, saw this scene, and offered money to help Jiang Wenjuan buy the necklace without saying a word.

Jiang Wenjuan invited Tao Hongshan to dinner and expressed her gratitude. The two came and went and became a couple.

However, Jiang Wenjuan did not know that Tao Hongshan was behind the killing of her father.

As the relationship became closer, Jiang Wenjuan used her spare time to join Tao Hongshan's criminal gang to manufacture and sell creams together.

Tao Zhikun, Tao Hongshan's son, fell in love with Jiang Wenjuan at first sight. After getting drunk together, Tao Zhikun and Jiang Wenjuan had an unspeakable ambiguous story.

Tao Zhikun is young and handsome, with stronger physical strength than Tao Hongshan. Jiang Wenjuan soon empathizes with Tao Hongshan, alienates Tao Hongshan, and hangs out with Tao Zhikun.

Tao Hongshan noticed the relationship between his son and Jiang Wenjuan.

But he has always doted on Tao Zhikun and did not expose his adulterous affair with Jiang Wenjuan.

The three people maintain an unclear relationship, tacit understanding of each other.

Through search and investigation, the government finally captured the criminal gang headed by Tao Hongshan, Jiang Wenjuan, and Huang Xuefang.

Tao Hongshan confessed the motive of the crime.

It was a day in May, when it was raining lightly, Tao Hongshan came home from get off work and rescued Huang Xuefang from the Shenjing Snow Cream Workshop.

It turned out that after Huang Xuefang got off work, when she passed a remote intersection, a little boy cried to her for help, saying that his father had accidentally hit a tree by the side of the road and fainted.

Huang Xuefang followed the little boy to rescue his father, and saw a man lying in the grove.

Huang Xuefang leaned over to check, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly jumped up, strangled her neck, and dragged her into the depths of the woods, trying to plot something wrong.

Fortunately, he was rescued by Tao Hongshan who was passing by.

Coincidentally, Huang Xuefang is a colleague of his wife Lu Guixiang.

Tao Hongshan, who has always been honest and honest, was moved in a wrong way.

He dragged his wife Lu Guixiang and Lu Guixiang's colleague Huang Xuefang into the water, and set up a black hand workshop to produce and sell cream for profit.

They began to secretly produce and sell creams.

In just one year, this handicraft workshop produced more than 600 packs of cream, and more than 100 packs sold have also been recovered.

Yang Xubao, a laborer under Tao Hongshan, was arrested and confessed to Tao Hongshan's accidental murder, promising to pay him a hush money and let him bury the corpse together.

The body of Jiang Wenjuan's father, Jiang Dawei, was also found. Under interrogation by the government, Tao Hongshan admitted that he hired a killer to kill Jiang Dawei.

However, Jiang Wenjuan was pregnant.

She didn't know whether the child in her belly belonged to Tao Hongshan or Tao Zhikun, Tao Hongshan's son.

The government put Lu Guixiang, Huang Xuefang, and Tao Hongshan in prison, confiscated their property, and compensated Jia Chen. …

The case was successfully concluded. Jia Chen and Wang Xifeng worked together to organize the handicraft workshop to prevent anyone from stealing the formula of the cream and secretly making and selling it.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Chongrui called Jia Chen into the palace and continued to interrogate Jia Chen on the sidelines.

Emperor Chongrui still wanted to go to the court to listen to the government, so he left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Only Jia Chen and Zhou Guiren were left in the hall.

Guiren Zhou wanted to seduce Jia Chen again.

But Jia Chen was unmoved.

After a while, footsteps came from outside the hall.

It seems that Emperor Chongrui is coming back.

Jia Chen was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that Emperor Chongrui would finish his morning court so quickly.

The moment Emperor Chongrui was about to step into the gate of the palace, Zhou Guiren suddenly tore up his clothes and messed up his hair, and then ran out of the palace with tears on his face, just in time to run into someone who came in from outside. Emperor Chongrui.

Jia Chen felt a chill in his heart, it seems that this nobleman wants to frame him!
When Emperor Chongrui saw Zhou Guiren's appearance, he asked in surprise: "My concubine, what's wrong with you?"

Jia Chen frowned, this nobleman Zhou is really a femme fatale with vicious intentions!

Hearing Emperor Chongrui's inquiry, Zhou Guiren just sobbed and wept silently without saying a word.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Chongrui looked at her thoughtfully, then suddenly turned his gaze to Jia Chen.

But there was no anger in his eyes, but only doubts.

Jia Chen twitched the corners of his mouth: These women in the harem are really scary, and they will fall into their trap if they are not careful.

Seeing that Jia Chen had no intention of explaining at all, Emperor Chongrui felt a little funny and said:

"Come here, arrange your appearance for Mr. Zhou."

As soon as the words fell, the nuns and maids immediately surrounded her and brought Zhou Guiren to the side hall.

Now, only Emperor Chongrui and Jia Chen are left.

"Let's go in and talk!" Emperor Chongrui walked straight into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Jia Chen also followed in.

Emperor Chongrui glanced at Jia Chen, sat down in front of the desk, and remained silent.

Seeing that Emperor Chongrui didn't speak, Jia Chen also stood looking at his nose and eyes, without saying a word.

There was an eerie silence in the hall.

After a while, Emperor Chongrui glared at Jia Chen and said with a playful smile:

"Jia Aiqing, aren't you going to explain?"

Hearing this, Jia Chen said with a blank face:

"The humble official abides by the law and has done nothing wrong. Is there anything I need to explain?"

After the words fell, Emperor Chongrui looked at him and said:

"You are pretending to be stupid on purpose. How can you explain Zhou Guiren's appearance like this?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Chen looked sideways, smiled lightly and said:

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and can clearly judge right from wrong. You don't really think that the grassroots will molest the harem concubine in this Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongrui sneered and said:
"I'm not the faint-hearted King Zhou of Shang, and you're not Bo Yikao, so naturally you won't believe Zhou Guiren's clumsy lies."

Jia Chen said: "Your Majesty is wise, you really have sharp eyes, and you can see through her sinister intentions at a glance."

When speaking, he deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "sinister".

If Mrs. Zhou wants to set up a poisonous scheme to kill herself, then you don't have to be polite. You can take this opportunity to emphasize in front of His Majesty how dangerous she is.

Hearing this, Emperor Chongrui sneered and said, "Hmph! I forgive you for not daring!"

Emperor Chongrui was not a fool, so he naturally knew that Jia Chen was not a fool, he would not molested his concubine in his bedroom.

It is estimated that with Jia Chen's intelligence, even if Jia Chen was drunk, he would not be able to do such a stupid thing.

What's more, Jia Chen originally wanted to interrogate the nobleman this week, and she was seriously suspected, so how could Emperor Chongrui believe her nonsense?
