The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 203 You are not qualified

Jia Huan watched Feng Ziying greeting Eunuch Ji and mentioning the Supreme Emperor Kang Ping, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart.This Eunuch Ji is a comprador eunuch stationed in Jinling from Prince Yi Zhong's palace. It is obviously unusual to appear here at this moment. Moreover, judging from his words and deeds, it is obvious that he is also towards the Kang family. Could it be that he also has a stake in the Kang family?Or even participated in the murder of Lin Ruhai?

If this is true, I am afraid that this case will be more serious than I expected, and the implications will be wider.You must know that Ji Jinxiao is a member of Prince Yi Zhong, and Prince Yi Zhong is the money bag of Emperor Kangping, and is also the leader of the old Xungui Group. Feng Ziying's father, Feng Tang, is also a core figure of the old Xungui Group. The Emperor walked very close.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but feel his scalp numb, and secretly worried about Lin Ruhai. If the case really involves the Supreme Emperor, then the resistance can be imagined. In the end, Lin Ruhai will be unlucky. The influence of the Supreme Emperor in the court His power is so great that even the current emperor Qian Sheng is suppressed by his power. Who dares to disturb Tai Sui?

Eunuch Ji exchanged a few words with Feng Ziying, and then said in a profound and profound way: "Xiao Feng, our family relies on its elders and sells its elders. Mr. Kang has a good reputation among the people, and he has won the support of the local people in Yangzhou. Every year He paid a large amount of taxes to the court. He is a good businessman who abides by the law and is unlikely to engage in liaison with pirates. If he is arrested rashly, it will have a huge impact, and the people of Yangzhou may not agree, and it is easy to cause trouble. Things should be considered in the long run.”

Feng Ziying hesitated for a moment, clasped her fists and said, "What Mr. Ji said is not unreasonable, but my nephew is also doing things under Lin Yushi's order, so he has to do it."

Jia Huan frowned secretly. From the tone of his voice, it was clear that Feng Ziying did not want to offend Ji Jinxiao, but it was no wonder that he did not look at the monk's face before looking at the Buddha's face. What's more, this matter may involve Prince Yi Zhong, or even the big boss, Emperor Kang Ping. , it is not surprising that a smart person like Feng Ziying chooses to protect herself wisely.

But in this case, the pressure turns to herself. Feng Ziying can choose to be wise and protect herself, but she cannot be a coward!

First of all, Lin Ruhai was entrusted by others and was loyal to others. Lin Ruhai entrusted this task to herself. If she was resisted, she would retreat to protect herself. How could she be worthy of Lin Ruhai's trust? Don't talk about Sister Lin in the future, I'm afraid she will despise herself.

Secondly, Lin Ruhai is one of the few elders in this world of red mansions who truly cares for him. He not only teaches him everything, but also supports him in every way. However, Kang Lingcheng wants to put Lin Ruhai to death time and time again, so how can he let him go.

Once again, up to now, his future and destiny have been tied to Lin Ruhai to a certain extent. Once Lin Ruhai is unlucky, his end will not be easy. Unlike Feng Ziying, even if Lin Ruhai falls, he still has me and can still Live very nourishingly.

So as soon as Feng Ziying finished speaking, Jia Huan said plausibly: "Kang Lingcheng is just a hypocritical old thief. Eunuch Ji, don't be deceived by his appearance. This thief is doing innocent business openly, but secretly he is colluding with the pirate leader Gu San Mazi. He engaged in the business of selling illegal salt, and the quantity was huge, and the profit was astonishing.

It was precisely because Lin Yushi's strict crackdown on illegal activities affected his interests, so he first bribed Lin's housekeeper Diao Sheng to poison him, and tried to use chronic poison to kill Master Lin without anyone noticing. After the conspiracy failed, he became even more frantic and even joined forces. Salt owl Gu San Mazi ambushed Master Lin's team.

Fortunately, Feng Qianhu brought people to the rescue in time, and the danger was saved. According to the confession of the captured thief leader, the attack was ordered by Kang Lingcheng, and it was Kang Lingcheng who bribed the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion to poison him. Therefore, Lord Lin ordered the arrest of Kang Lingcheng. Well-founded, reasonable and legal, no questions asked. "

Feng Ziying obviously felt guilty and immediately agreed: "It is indeed true. I can confirm it."

Ji Jinxiao deliberately looked at Jia Huan and said with a smile: "Oh, look at it, everyone, what a sharp mouth. What should I call this little brother?"

Jia Huan cupped his fists and said, "Student Jia Huan, a member of Qian Sheng's fourth year."

Ji Jinxiao sneered and said: "It turns out that you are a little scholar. It is rare. We don't care whether what you just said is right or not. You are young and you are only a little scholar. Why are you in our family and everyone else?" Talking freely in front of adults? Do you have the qualifications?"

Dai Li, the commander of the Yangzhou Guard, sternly scolded: "Since you are a scholar, don't you understand your status and inferiority? Do you have the right to speak here? Why don't you get aside quickly?"

Hehe, I saw that Jia Huan was eloquent, so I planned to silence him.

Jia Huan was not afraid, and calmly showed Lin Ruhai's seal and said: "Students naturally understand the importance of status, but students are students and have merit and fame. It can be seen that officials do not kneel, and thanks to the trust of Mr. Lin, I entrust Jia Huan Huan has the full authority to arrest Kang Lingcheng, Commander Dai thinks, do the students have the right to speak?"

Dai Li's face suddenly froze, obviously he didn't expect that Lin Ruhai would hand over something as important as the seal to Jia Huan.

Eunuch Ji's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "The descendants are terrible. Well, your surname is Jia. Are you a descendant of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Huan frowned and said calmly: "It doesn't matter which family the student comes from. What's important is that Kangling City must arrest him and bring him to justice."

The prefect next to him, Hong Wenxuan, coughed lightly and said, "This son is from the Rongguo Mansion. He is the concubine of Jia Zheng, who is currently a member of the Ministry of Industry."

A look of surprise flashed in Jiao Fang's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Jia Huan again.

Eunuch Ji smiled and said: "It turns out that he is the queen of Rong Guogong. No wonder he looks a bit like Master Zheng. After careful calculation, our family has some friendship with Master Zheng. Brother Huan, it's not an exaggeration to call our family Grandpa Ji." !”

Jia Huan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. He cupped his fists and said, "How can Jia Huan be so virtuous? He doesn't dare to climb high!"

Eunuch Ji's eyes narrowed and he sneered in his heart: "Good boy, you're so cool. If you don't drink the toast, you'll drink the fine wine, right? Okay, we'll play with you and see if your arms can stretch your thighs."

"It's unjust, the common people are unjust!"

At this time, the thug leader Li Shan started shouting again, and the other thugs also followed suit and shouted injustice.Eunuch Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Huan, did you order these people to be arrested?"

Jia Huan said calmly: "These are not common people, but gangsters in the city. They were ordered by the Kang family to gather people to make trouble and try to obstruct the handling of the case. Shouldn't they be arrested?"

Eunuch Ji sneered: "What evidence do you have to prove that they were instigated by the Kang family?"

"It's not easy to get evidence." Jia Huan ordered, and Kang Dazhi and steward Sun Fu were escorted out.When Eunuch Ji, Magistrate Hong and others saw this, their expressions changed slightly. Apparently they didn't know that Kang Dazhi had been caught by Jia Huan.

Jia Huan pointed at Kang Dazhi and said: "This person is Kang Dazhi, the eldest son of Kang. I believe both the Lord Fu and Commander Dai recognize him, right? This person was hiding in the dark and instigating trouble. He was caught on the spot by my people and cannot be denied." "

Eunuch Ji couldn't help but secretly scolded him for being such a loser. He was behind the scenes and got himself involved.

Jia Huan stepped forward and pulled out the cloth blocking Kang Dazhi's mouth, and said calmly: "If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be stern. Tell me, did you arrange for people to cause trouble behind your back?"

Kang Dazhi immediately shook his head and said: "It's nothing, you are slandering me!"

Jia Huan smiled and said: "You dare to deny it if you are caught on the spot. It doesn't matter. There are so many people under your command involved. I don't believe they will keep it a secret for you. If you find out after interrogation, the crime will be increased!"

Kang Dazhi's expression changed, and he was obviously struggling in his heart. He finally lowered his head and admitted: "Yes, I was indeed behind the scenes, but I was also eager to save my father, so I was confused for a moment. My father has always respected the law and there was absolutely no collusion." The thieves are selling illegal salt, let alone instigating the thieves to attack Yushi Lin."

Jia Huan said coldly: "Since you admitted to instigating the people to cause trouble, it is not unjust to arrest you. As for whether your father has been unjustly accused, Mr. Lin will naturally interrogate him clearly, take him away, and escort him back to the prison of the Xunyan Censor's Yamen!"

Jia Huan gave the order, and dozens of people including Kang Dazhi and Li Shan were all taken away. Eunuch Ji and others could not stop them and could only watch helplessly.

Jia Huan cupped his fists towards Eunuch Ji, Magistrate Hong and others and said, "The students are about to be ordered to inspect Kang's Mansion. You adults are busy with official duties, please go back!"

It was obvious that Jia Huan wanted to take care of business and did not give Ji Jinxiao any face.

Ji Jinxiao's face was cold and he said calmly: "We are idle people and like to meddle in other people's business. Today we want to see how Mr. Jia searches the Kang family. Is Jiao Yushi interested in joining us?"

Inspector Jiao Fang nodded and said: "I have been ordered to inspect Nanzhili. When encountering such a big case, how can I stay out of it? Naturally I have to participate."

Jia Huan's heart moved, and he raised his hands and said, "What do you call this lord?"

Jiao Fang said calmly: "I am Jiao Fang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am now ordered to inspect the Southern Zhili and have the right to intervene in local criminal proceedings."

Jia Huan cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Jiao Yushi. In that case, let's ask Jiao Yushi to be a witness. As for Eunuch Ji, I will be exempted."

Ji Jinxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What do you mean by exempting me? Are you looking down on our family?"

"I don't dare, I just don't dare to bother you. Please do it yourself, Eunuch Ji, and don't hinder the students from handling the case." Jia Huan said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath. You guys are awesome. Although Ji Jinxiao is just a purchasing eunuch in Prince Yi Zhong's palace, beating a dog depends on the owner. What's more, Ji Jinxiao is not a dog, but a eunuch. Prince Yitada's money bag. If you offend him, you will offend Prince Yitada. If you offend Prince Yitada, you will offend the Supreme Emperor. My dear, are you impatient with life?
Ji Jinxiao's face was extremely gloomy, and his lungs were about to explode with anger. Speaking of which, the entire Jiangnan area, including the senior officials of the Six Ministries of Nanjing, had to pay three respects to him when they saw him. No one had ever dared to be so rude to him, so he laughed angrily. Said: "What if our family insists on getting involved?"

Jia Huan said coldly: "Since Eunuch Ji is asking for trouble, Jia Huan has no choice but to deal with business matters. May I ask what your father-in-law's position is?"

Ji Jinxiao sneered: "You don't care what position our family holds, our family will take care of this business today!"

"Oh, in what capacity does Eunuch Ji take charge? Does he represent Prince Yohitada's palace?"

Ji Jinxiao's expression changed slightly. Everyone knew that he was from the Prince's Palace of Yi Zhong, but it was one thing for everyone to know. It was another thing for him to intervene in the name of the Prince's Palace. It was completely different in nature and he could easily fall into someone else's trap. So he said calmly: "Our family only represents itself and has nothing to do with Prince Yoshitaka's palace."

Jia Huan cupped his hands and said, "Forgive Jia Huan for speaking frankly. You, Ji Jinxiao, are not qualified to interfere in local case handling. Does Jiao Yushi think so?"

Jiao Fang obviously didn't want to offend Eunuch Ji, so she turned her head and looked away, pretending not to hear.

Ji Jinxiao was so angry that the wrinkles on his face were trembling, and he scolded: "Jia Huan, even if your father Jia Zheng is here, he would not dare to talk to our family like this. Who are you!!"

"Jia Huan is nothing, just a scholar." After Jia Huan said that, he turned and walked towards the gate of Kang Mansion, and at the same time ordered: "Dai Baihu, no other people who have nothing to do with this case are allowed in."

Dai Shilin said solemnly: "I have the order!"

Seeing Jia Huan entering the gate of Kang Mansion without looking back, Ji Jinxiao was so angry that she almost jumped to her feet and screamed: "Little bastard, you wait for us!"

Hey, Ji Jinxiao has no power and no soldiers. He is just relying on the banner of Prince Yi Zhong's palace to scare people. When he encounters a "prick" like Jia Huan who doesn't like him, there is really nothing he can do. .
