Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 345 Ping'an Prefecture: The Sin of the Jia Family

Seeing that Feng Yibo's attitude was somewhat perfunctory, he didn't take his advice to heart.

Prince Zhongshun frowned slightly, and continued:
"Speaking of which, I also know that you are close to Jia's mansion, but we are our own people now, so I have to remind you a few more words."

Hearing this, Feng Yibo hurriedly sat up straight, and said solemnly:

"My lord, please speak, Feng Yuan will listen carefully!"

Seeing his attitude, Prince Zhongshun nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Although Jia's mansion is supported by the lady in the palace, it seems that the future is promising, and no one can shake its foundation, but in my opinion, they may not be able to wait for that future."

"Oh? Where did you start talking about this?"

Feng Yibo pretended to be surprised, and guessed again:

"Could it be the other empresses in the palace..."

Unless Emperor Jingshun has another heir, the future of Rong Mansion is promising.

"No no no!"

I don't know if it's because of the emperor's heir, but Prince Zhongshun in the soft chair waved his hand like chasing flies before explaining:
"There is only that one emperor's heir in the palace, and the other concubines are still quiet. It is estimated that there will be no movement for a while."

Having said that, he changed the subject and said with a smile:
"However, Jia's house is not clean. It depends on whether the person in the palace wants to move."

Jia's house is not clean?

Feng Yibo's first reaction was that something happened in the Ning Mansion.

Since Jia Jing's death, Jia Zhen has become more and more unrestrained.

But then again, how much trouble can a dandy who only knows how to enjoy himself all day long cause?

If it was said that he was promiscuous to all the women in the family, Feng Yibo would definitely believe it.

But to say that he did something out of the ordinary that would affect the entire family, it seems unlikely.

Could it be Jia Rong's new wife...

But most of this kind of nonsense can only be speculated.

Even if he is impeached, it won't implicate the downfall of the Derong Mansion, right?
Similar to this is Jia Amnesty.

It's just that Jia Amnesty has an extra old Mrs. Shi restrained, but he is more honest.

Especially during the national mourning period, after the big fuss and the introduction of the Spring Festival, which led to the demotion.

Jia's mother scolded him furiously, and Jia Amnesty became more honest.

Although he still eats, drinks and has fun, he seldom provokes any right and wrong.

Seeing the doubts on Feng Yibo's face, Prince Zhongshun didn't give in, and said directly:
"For example, Jia Lian, who you can't push your favor this time, how many lives did he have on him?"

Hearing this, Feng Yibo was taken aback.

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Speaking of which, Jia Lian is nothing like his biological father, Jia She.

Maybe it was because they often went out with Jia Zheng to do errands, but the two uncles and nephews had some similarities in temperament.

It's just that he doesn't like reading, and he is not as pedantic as Jia Zheng.

Under Wang Xifeng's oppression, she became more impatient.

As a result, whether he is in the mansion or in the dude circle in the capital, his reputation is very mediocre.

But Feng Yibo knew the inside story of the Rong Mansion, and also understood Jia Lian's temperament.

Although he is also a dude, he has a pure and honest nature.

In such a smoky circle as Xungui's, he could be regarded as a moral model.

If it weren't for this, Feng Yibo wouldn't have met him either.

Although he lost Wang Xifeng's pressure, he has become more casual in recent years.

How can it not kill people?
"Not to mention anything else, just say that he received 3000 taels of silver from the Chang'an Mansion, and asked Chang'an Jiedu envoy Yun Guang to come forward and force the former Chang'an garrison who lost power in the party struggle to withdraw from the marriage. In the end, both his son and future daughter-in-law died in love."

Feng Yibo had heard about Yun Guang.

The former branch of his ancestor's Jia family is also considered the backbone of the founding line.

If the Jia family wanted something from him, it would be impossible to refuse it.

But if the opponent is still in Chang'an's defense, it's fine, at least he is a subordinate of Chang'an's Jiedushi.

Even if you agree, you are controlling your subordinates.

But now, they have failed in the party struggle, they go home to retire, and become the former Chang'an garrison.

Then it's not as simple as forcing the former subordinates!

After such party disputes, the practice of exterminating them has always been shameless for the officialdom.

If there is no other secret, it is only for 3000 taels of silver.

It would be so unreasonable to do this.

"Although the old party has withdrawn from the court, after all, it used to be an official in the court. Over the past few years, it has been secretly collecting evidence. It is only waiting for the Jia family to have a slight flaw, and it may give it a fatal blow."

The Dragon Scale Guard monitors the world, and every state capital has minions.

Even if Chang'an's infiltration is not deep, such a commotion will definitely attract the attention of Longlin Guard.

Prince Zhongshun naturally knew this clearly.

Even with the relationship between the newly promoted nobles and the founding lineage, it is hard to say that there was no secret help from the Dragon Scale Guard in the process of collecting materials for the former Chang'an garrison.

Having said that, he persuaded earnestly:
"That's why I said, don't get too close to them, lest the tree fall down in the future, and it won't be worth scratching you."

Feng Yibo had no doubts about the authenticity of the incident.

There is no need for Prince Zhongshun to lie to him about this.

It's just that the other party obviously has its own purpose.

This is to keep him at a distance from the founding of the country, and get closer to the newly promoted nobles.

Feng Yibo was only surprised that such a thing happened to Jia Lian.

Prince Zhongshun raised his eyebrows when he saw his unbelievable appearance, and asked:

"What? You don't believe it?"

Feng Yibo shook his head, smiled bitterly and said:
"I believe the prince's words. It's just that Jia Liansu is generous, so I'm a little surprised that he would do such a thing."

He was not so surprised by anyone in Jia's mansion, even if it was Baoyu who did it.

Could it be that he really missed it?

Could it be that Jia Lian is a ruthless character who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but is secretly a ruthless character who disregards human life for the sake of profit?
"It's nothing, after all, he wasn't the one to kill! It's nothing more than implicating the old party, and there are some hidden dangers."

Prince Zhongshun looked at Feng Yibo, and sneered again:

"But his own father is different!"

"Oh? Could it be that the elder of the Rong Mansion killed someone?"

Feng Yibo frowned slightly.

What do you mean by these words, my old father-in-law, Jia Amnesty, was actually involved in a life lawsuit?

"Even if it's not in the middle, it's not far!"

Prince Zhongshun didn't keep a secret, and directly talked about the process of this matter.

"You went to sea not long ago, probably in March or April?"

There is nothing to say about his memory, otherwise he would not be able to deal with such meticulous matters as Long Linwei.

Wei Wei thought about the approximate time in a daze, then continued:

"Jia Amnesty was reprimanded by the old lady of Jia's mansion because of his demotion, and somehow he thought of it to curry favor with the Daming Palace."

The one in Daming Palace naturally refers to the Supreme Emperor.

Jia Amnesty is trying to burn the stove?

Feng Yibo touched his chin.

Because the old concubine was demoted, she asked the Supreme Emperor to come back.

This is also a way.

After he came back, he didn't go to Jia's mansion, and he didn't know if it happened or not.

However, listen to Prince Zhongshun.

Whether it succeeds or not, it's not a good thing.

"It should be a reward, let's raise the title back!"

Prince Zhongshun smacked his lips, as if he had just figured it out at this time.

In other words, he didn't take it too seriously.

At this time, while talking, I just analyzed it by the way.

"He didn't know who he heard that the man from Daming Palace was playing with a fan at that time, so he asked people around to find out the whereabouts of the good fan."

This is what you like.

It should be Madam Wang who asked Yuan Chun to inquire about it, right?

Alternatively, it is not impossible to directly ask the old Dai Quan in He Jia's house.

"Later, it seems that from some antique dealer, I really learned about the traces of a few antique fans."

Prince Zhongshun seemed to have personally seen those fans, and recalled:
"Those fans are all from Xiangfei palm bamboo and elk jade bamboo. They are all authentic works of ancient people's paintings."

He obviously saw it in Daming Palace, otherwise he wouldn't remember these details.

As for the antique dealer, he also has some connections.

His name is Leng Zixing, and he is the son-in-law of Zhou Rui, the concubine of Mrs. Rong's wife.

However, Prince Zhongshun naturally didn't need to pay attention to such small details.

"But when Jia She followed the news and found the owner of the fan, he found that he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat, but he refused to sell his ancestral fan anyway."

Having said that, he also recalled:

"What's the name of the owner of that fan... that's right! It's called 'Stone Idiot'. Jia Amnesty asked people to buy it with money, but he just said: 'If you want a fan, you will die!'"

After Prince Zhongshun finished speaking, he laughed and shook his head, saying:

"I didn't expect this person to become a prophecy, and almost lost his life because of it."

With a sigh of emotion, he continued to speak:

"In the beginning, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to sell it, but after hearing about it, Jia Hua from the Ministry of War made a plan for him.

First, officials were sent to blackmail the stone nerd for defaulting on the official money, and they took him to the Yamen.

This time he used an excuse to make him pay back, so he copied the stone nerd's house.

Those fans were copied out, and they were given to Jia Amnesty at the official price. "

"When the Daming Palace saw him, he was really happy. Jia She was rewarded and exempted from the punishment of being demoted."

It is difficult to promote the title, but it only takes a word from the emperor to avoid punishment.

When the Supreme Emperor opened his mouth, Emperor Jingshun naturally had to give this face.

I heard that for a few fans, the stone nerd's family was ruined.

Feng Yibo frowned, and asked suddenly:
"Is that stone nerd dead?"

It's just that he said earlier that Jia Lian indirectly contaminated human life, and Jia Amnesty was even worse.

Therefore, Feng Yibo's thinking inertia, thinking that Jia Amnesty was killed.

Only then did I feel that the stone nerd was ruined.

But at this moment, I remembered that Prince Zhongshun only talked about ransacking the house, not killing the idiot.

The house must be broken, but the people may still be there.

"Should he be dead? It's almost as good as not dead, right?"

Prince Zhongshun naturally wouldn't pay attention to such trivial matters, and said casually:
"Being in prison for more than half a year, even a strong and strong man will be useless."

That said, it might not be dead yet.

Feng Yibo kept this matter in his heart.

"It doesn't really matter whether the stone nerd is dead or not."

Prince Zhongshun waved his hands, feeling that Feng Yibo's focus was wrong.

"Jia She dared to give Daming Palace such a blood-stained fan. What do you think he would do with him if he found out?"

Still need to ask?

If the emperor who loves false fame knows that the fan came from a wrong path, he will definitely punish Jia She even more.

It may not be enough to ransack the family and exterminate the whole family.

But to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor, the title of title will be directly rolled to the end.

Then there is a great possibility!
In fact, there is a small episode in this matter.

Even after Jia She got the fan, he asked Jia Lian:
How did they get here?Why can't you get this trash?

Jia Lian only said one sentence at that time:
Because of such a trivial matter, it is nothing to do to ruin the family and property.

These words touched Jia She's sore spot, and he immediately became furious.

At that time, he felt that he was wrong and did not attack.

But within a few days, he found an excuse and beat Jia Lian to death.

Even the face was broken in several places.

From then on, Jia Lian was completely afraid of Jia Amnesty.

Prince Zhongshun didn't say anything about it, so let's not mention it for now.

It is only said that when Prince Zhongshun saw Feng Yibo's expression, he knew that he was overwhelmed by what he said.

After thinking about it, he continued to break the news:
"If you knew that their father and son were doing things in Pingan Prefecture, I'm afraid you wouldn't take this little trouble seriously."

One involves the old party, secretly lurking to investigate.

Waiting to give the Jia family a fatal blow.

One involves the palace, involving the crime of deceiving the emperor.

It may be possible to let Rongfu's titles go to the end.

Such troubles are still considered minor, so what kind of disaster is considered major?

Could it be that the Jia family can still rebel?

Moreover, according to what Prince Zhongshun said, the father and son participated together.

Feng Yibo frowned slightly, and asked directly:

"Oh? What's the big disaster?"

Didn't the Jia family become rampant because of Yuanchun's gaining power in the past six months?

Not so!

A few days ago, when I drank with Jia Lian, he was still the same, not much changed.

Still chic and unrestrained living their little days.

If he is a man of ambition and madness, he won't miss anything in front of him, right?

Prince Zhongshun heard his question and said:
"The two prefectures in Shandong have experienced frequent disasters in recent years, you know that."

Of course Feng Yibo knew about this.

Not only did he know, he also sent people to emigrate.

"First there was a severe drought, and then the Yellow River diverted its course. Didn't you take the opportunity to recruit many refugees?"

Seeing Prince Zhongshun looking at him with a half-smile, Feng Yibo frowned slightly, and asked:
"What does this have to do with the Jia family and his son?"

Naturally, he didn't want to mention the matter of poaching Dawei's corner in Donghai County.

Fortunately, on such matters, Prince Zhongshun only went so far.

He just let Feng Yibo understand that he knew what Donghai County did.

"After the Yellow River diverted, countless farmlands were washed away, but the original riverbed became fertile soil."

When Prince Zhongshun talked about the affairs of Ping'an Prefecture, his expression was a little strange.

"It stands to reason that the state capitals should have used this to resettle the victims of the washed-out fertile land."

Having said that, he sighed lightly.

It's just that I don't know if I'm worried about those victims, or I'm feeling the vicissitudes of the Yellow River diversion.

Or something else...

"But the father and son of the Jia family didn't know what they were thinking. They went there twice to find the governor of Ping'an Prefecture in the name of the Jia family."

The disciples and old officials of Jia's family are scattered all over the country, and Chang'an Jiedushi is one of them.

The Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture is also one of them.

Speaking of the Jiedushi of Pingan Prefecture, Prince Zhongshun sighed and said:

"One time, the Jiedu envoy of Ping'an Prefecture even went out to provide disaster relief and did not return. They didn't care about the progress of disaster relief, so they forced him to be called back."

Speaking of this, Prince Zhongshun rarely looked dignified, and said softly:
"Their father and son took advantage of the diversion of the Yellow River to occupy the original river course in Ping'an Prefecture, and resell it as fertile land at a high price, so as to profit from it!"
