Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 66 Murder of the imperial court official?

The front yard fell into silence for a while, except for the two dogs hanging from the tree howling from time to time, no one opened their mouths to break the strange state at this time.

On the contrary, the little woman who was following Old Madam Tan looked at Tan Qichang distressedly, tears streaming down her face.But she should have been warned by Mrs. Tan long ago, she covered her mouth and remained silent.

"Ahem... the old lady is from the Zhen family? Is it the Jinling Zhen family?"

Jia Cong gave a little support, and Mrs. Tan took advantage of the situation to get up.

After she cast a mocking glance at Tan Zhen, who had a gloomy face, she said proudly: "The old woman is indeed from the Zhen family in Jinling, but she is only a branch of the Zhen family. Speaking of which, I have known the old lady of your mansion from time to time. Please In view of the relationship between our two generations of blind date, the Zhen family would be extremely grateful to spare my grandson once!"

Saying that she was about to bow down again, Nanny Li came forward knowingly and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Jia Cong pretended to be embarrassed, and said leisurely: "Madam, do you know what I just told Patriarch Tan?"

Old Mrs. Tan looked at Tan Zhen who was silent at the side, and said to Jia Cong with a smile: "Chang'er was just ordered by someone, I wonder if Third Master Cong is interested in the person behind this matter?"

Now Tan Zhen lost his composure, and warned: "Ma'am, this bastard caused trouble on his own, so why should other people be implicated?"

"Snapped!"

The whip in Jia Cong's hand flicked hard on Tan Zhen's mouth.

"Master and the old lady are talking, are you the one to intervene? If you dare to say one more word, I will hang you from a tree and beat me together!"

Ha ha!

Mrs. Tan sneered, and said with a sneer: "Isn't the master busy with that little bastard, planning to drive us, my mother-in-law and grandson, out of the Tan family? Just in time, the old lady also has the same intention!"

As she spoke, she whispered a few words in Jia Cong's ear, then glanced at Tan Zhen who covered her mouth and couldn't speak, and said with a sneer: "Originally, the old lady didn't intend to let Chang'er get involved in this matter, but if she doesn't He saw clearly what his grandfather was like, and the old woman was worried that he would hate me. Third Master Cong, Chang Er is a good boy, he has no idea what kind of impact this will have on Miss Lin, please forgive him Him once!"

It doesn't matter whether he is a good boy or not, Mrs. Tan did give Jia Cong a reason he couldn't refuse.

Daiyu had already received the secret letter secretly slipped by Mrs. Tan, and Nanny Li also brought Daiyu's opinion, so Jia Cong naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity.

It's really a surprise, originally I just wanted to teach the six major salt merchants a lesson, but I didn't expect that the internal contradictions in the Tan family would bring such a big gift to Jia Cong!

Jia Cong had already understood the cause and effect of this incident, and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, Tan Zhen is suspected of murdering the imperial court official, immediately take it and send it to the Dragon Guard Yangzhou Thousand Households Office, and hand it over to the Dragon Guard for strict interrogation!"

"promise!"

The soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion who were guarding at the side immediately rushed forward and tied up Tan Zhenlai.

Tan Zhen didn't know what Mrs. Tan said to Jia Cong at all, thought it was the murder of Lin Ruhai, and yelled Qu: "Master Cong, the little old man has always been law-abiding, when did you murder the court order?"

"oh, I see!"

Jia Cong walked up to Tan Zhen slowly, pinched Tan Zhen's right hand, and stroked lightly on the back of his hand with his nails, a light red mark appeared on the back of his hand.

"Look, you hurt me..."

Jia Cong chuckled: "This official is a fifth-rank official bestowed by His Majesty. If you hurt this official, don't you mean murdering the court official? Shut his mouth and take him away!"

The soldier who received the order found a dirty rag from nowhere, blocked Tan Zhen's mouth and dragged him out.

Old Mrs. Tan seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her originally tall and straight body became bent.She looked at Jia Cong pleadingly, but said nothing.

"Don't worry, old lady, since you have given me a reasonable explanation and a satisfactory explanation, then I will not break my promise. Old lady Tan Qichang can be taken away, but when the Japanese officials need the old lady to testify in court, I still hope that the old lady will abide by it." promise."

As soon as Jia Cong finished speaking, Mrs. Tan bent down and bowed down: "It's only natural. For Chang'er, the old lady dares to do anything!"

……

Tan Zhen was suddenly dragged away, among other things, the remaining five salt business owners were all terrified.

Yang Siqi was particularly terrified, looking in horror at Jia Cong who turned his attention to him.

When Jia Cong looked at him, he knelt down with a thud: "Master Cong, please forgive me, the villain is willing to offer 50 taels of silver to atone for my son!"

"What's going on? What are you doing so loudly?"

At this moment, Jia Amnesty, Pei Weisheng, Zhen Yingjia and Tang Guangbiao, who were discussing matters in the study, came over.

After seeing the situation in the front yard, Jia Amnesty was stunned.He had heard about the plan of the two boys to stir up trouble today, but he didn't expect it to make such a big mess.

"Father, it's like this..."

Jia Lian, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stepped forward respectfully and told the story in detail. Of course, he mentioned the real situation of Tan Zhen's murder of the court official.

But in the end, Jia Lian asked Zhen Yingjia specifically: "Uncle Zhen, Tan Qichang is the grandson of the Zhen family. I wonder if Uncle Zhen thinks Brother Cong's treatment is reasonable?"

"Very reasonable, very reasonable!"

How can Zhen Yingjia care about such trivial things, he is now full of salt, tax and silver matters, Tan Zhen is just a dog raised by the Zhen family, and it is also a dog that is no longer loyal, and others will worry about whether he lives or dies , What's the matter with Guan Zhen's family?

Jia Lian smiled slightly, and said flatteringly, "My uncle is still sensible, and my nephew admires it! My lord father, Tan Qichang's matter has already been dealt with by brother Cong. Only Yang Ruyi is left. How does father think how to deal with it?"

Before Jia She responded, Yang Siqi kowtowed to Jia She and begged for forgiveness: "Mr. Pardon forgives my sin. The villain is willing to offer 50 taels to atone for my son's sin. Please forgive me!"

"Tsk tsk, it's said that the salt merchants are rich, and today they really have learned a lot!"

Jia She clicked his tongue twice, raised his foot and kicked Yang Siqi: "A dog-like thing, dare to use money to dirty my ears!"

Yang Siqi had never practiced martial arts, and was kicked angrily by Jia She, and flew directly to the crooked tree hanging Yang Ruyi, hit the tree hard and spat out blood.

"Brother Enhou, don't get angry!"

Zhen Yingjia didn't know what was coming to her mind, she put aside her worries and stopped in front of Jia She, and said in a low voice: "The son of Yang's family is in the household department, so don't go too far!"

"Yo, I'm still a speaker..."

Jia She sneered, took the whip from Jia Cong's hand, and lashed Yang Siqi's body fiercely. When the whip came down, blood spattered everywhere, and the brocade clothes on her body were instantly torn and torn.

"There is a son of a speech official, so what? The memorial to impeach Lao Tzu can drown the Secretary of General Administration. Was I ever afraid?"

Snapped!
With another blow of the whip, Yang Siqi's screams startled the little bird that was originally parked on the tree in the courtyard.

Jia Amnesty looked at his youngest son: "San'er, tell me, what should we do with these two?"

"Can my son dig a pit for these two people?"

hiss!
Jia Cong's response made Pei Weisheng, Zhen Yingjia and others take a deep breath. Jia Amnesty's youngest son is so cruel?
Jia Amnesty shook his head and said leisurely, "No, according to Da Xia's laws, they will not deserve to die."

Jia Cong scratched the back of his head and chuckled: "Well, that son understands. Yang Ruyi offended the officials and intended to do something wrong, and broke two dogs' paws as a punishment. Yang Siqi intended to bribe the court officials. He served a year and was fined 100 taels will be sent to the capital to be charged to the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Daddy, my son is dealing with the law of Daxia this time, you won’t object this time, will you?”
