5.38 What’s the use of keeping such cold and humble people in Jia Yucun?
At the same time when they were huddling together in front of the government prison, the back house of the prefect's Yamen in Jinling, Jia Yucun's residence.

At this time, the fight in front of the prison had been reported back, and there was obviously some chaos in the whole yard. Although the disciples had not been to the house many times before, they had been there a few times, and they were no strangers to the servants here. In addition, this After several days of framing Xue Pan, he has been running after him, and has completely settled on the identity of "Jia Yucun's confidant".

Therefore, after he entered the yard, he just said "I have something to report, madam" and quickly ran to the backyard without anyone stopping him along the way - at this time, there were only two masters left in the yard, Mrs. Jia Yucun and the eldest son. , naturally did not care about the rules; because of the miserable scene in front of the prison, many people thought that something was serious.

"Are you a government servant under the master? What happened?" Mrs. Jia was at a loss.

"Madam, something bad has happened!" Menzi immediately told the situation selectively, adding some "material" by the way, such as Jia Yucun died of "rebellion", the Xue family was about to retaliate, and Zhou Yang brought "hundreds of people" "Army" and so on, frightened her to the point of paralysis, "If you wait any longer at this time, it will definitely not end well. Madam, you should make plans in advance!"

"Plan? What plans can I, a woman, have?" Mrs. Jia said stupidly, then she came to her senses and asked, "I wonder if Brother Chai has any ideas?"

"Madam, please step aside!" Menzi looked at the maids and women who were also nervous around him and said, "If word of what happened today gets out, the villain won't be left behind either!"

"You guys go out first. You are not allowed to come in without my order!" Mrs. Jia said quickly.

"Don't stay in the yard. When I go out and ask you to come in, you guys will come in again!" Menzi quickly added, and then he found that the maids and women were all at a loss.

"Do as he says!" Mrs. Jia looked at the door first, then gritted her teeth and said after seeing him nod, "I hope Brother Cha has an idea!"

"Thank you madam for your understanding!" Menzi said gratefully.

Several maids and women reluctantly went out. After arriving in the yard, they called the people on duty outside. It wasn't until the entire yard was cleared that the gatekeeper stood at the door of the inner courtyard, looked at it, and came back to seal the door. After unlocking the door, he turned around and entered the bedroom.

"Brother Chai, what's going on?" Finally, when the disciple came back, Mrs. Jia seemed to have found the backbone. She stood up anxiously and asked, "You said the master is already..."

"That's right!" Menzi nodded vigorously, and then said with Mrs. Jia's pale face, "Actually, even if he is not dead, I'm afraid he won't be able to last too long; Madam will not forget that he is now the prefect. How did it come about? He happened to beat up the eldest young master of the Xue family. This young master was the nephew of the Rongguo Mansion!

Now that the adults are gone, the dead will naturally be wiped out, but the revenge of the Xue family and even the Jia family will definitely be inevitable. Madam was born in Jiangnan. What are the names of the four Jinling families? Do you need to say more than a villain?At that time, there will be only the madam and the young master in this house. Once their revenge methods come down, the madam will probably..."

"What should we do now?" Mrs. Jia was completely confused. She looked at the door eagerly and said, "Brother Cha, if you have any idea, please don't be polite. It's hard to say anything else in this house. I still have some money. As long as The method works, and the little woman will never forget her kindness to brother Chai!"

"Jiao Xing, don't you remember me?" Seeing that Mrs. Jia had completely lost her temper, Menzi gritted his teeth and stared at her and said. It was not until this moment that he carefully observed this former maid and current maid for the first time. She is a noble lady, but seeing that she has a beautiful face, rich clothes, and a dignified face with decent attire, her origins can no longer be traced.

"You are -" Mrs. Jia froze. She could no longer remember the last time someone called her name. But when she stared at the door and observed it carefully, she felt more and more familiar.

"I was the young novice monk of the Calabash Temple!" Menzi suddenly stood up, walked to Jiao Xing and said, "When you followed Mrs. Zhen, you came to the temple several times to offer incense and fulfill your wishes. I saw you at the door every time. , I was in the main hall at that time, and you gave me a lot of fruit snacks!"

"Is it you?" Mrs. Jia was stunned on the spot. She didn't expect to see her old friend at this time. "What are you doing?"

"Since the fire in the Calabash Temple" Menzi recounted his experience in detail, and finally told the story of Jia Yucun's frame-up of Xue Pan and the conflict with Zhou Yang, which frightened Mrs. Jia to the point where she lost all her ideas. "Jiao Xing, the situation is urgent now, why don't you follow me and escape quickly?"

"This -" Jiao Xing is not stupid, and she still doesn't understand what Menzi means. She hesitates for a long time before slowly saying, "How is this possible?"

Menzi is very smart, so naturally he won't give her time to think slowly.

"Good man, I just followed you. After all, I still have the bones and blood left by the master." Jiao Xing slumped softly in Menzi's arms, her tone was very unconfident, "I will serve you well in the future. I only hope that you are kind-hearted and can It’s all my thoughts.” “Don’t worry, I will treat him as my own from now on. After all, he is only six years old, what can he know?” Menzi cursed and swore on the spot, and after a long time he continued, “I came from the government office. When we arrived, we secretly made two directions to ensure that no one would find us in the future; however, if we want to leave, we will definitely have to pay for it, but I have always been short of money."

"Don't worry, I know where his things are!" Jiao Xing nodded immediately, got up and went out to lead the way, not even seeing Menzi's proud smile.

Less than half an hour later, an inconspicuous carriage drove out of the gate, quickly passed through Jinling City, and disappeared into the vast land. No one knew where they went, and no one heard of them again; it was just that In a small and inconspicuous county, there is a newly moved family of three. They used their savings to buy a store and a small amount of land. Although they are not rich, they can be considered wealthy. Peace and beauty.

In the afternoon of the same day, the governor of Jiangnan visited the Yamen.

"General Zhou, you are making things difficult for me!" Zeng He, the governor of Jiangnan, played with the name card of Princess Yongchang in his hand, his expression still cold, "Although Mr. Jia did have some faults, he was still within the scope of his duties. General Zhou used his military skills to I'm afraid it can't be explained clearly in just a few words that I'm interfering in government affairs, right?"

"My Lord Governor, I don't dare to say more. I just hope that you can take a look at these things." Zhou Yang politely handed over the transcript of last night's interrogation of the Feng family, "Jia Yucun can reach its current position, I believe that your Excellency I know the reason, but what he did this time is disgusting, and I also believe that you can understand!"

There are a lot of records. More than ten young people who "vigiled" at Feng Yuan's mourning hall that night had records. Even if Zhou Yang had removed the "curious" content in it, it still added up to many pages. Zeng He still had to read them all. It took more than half a stick of incense, but his face became colder and colder as he read the content, until his face was as cold as frost.

"I understand what General Zhou means." Zeng He slowly put down the note, looked at Zhou Yang with a cold face and said, "But, how do you want me to deal with it? Jia Hua is the prefect of Jinling anyway, although he I was deceived and did the wrong thing by sitting down, but I should not have been insulted by General Zhou!"

"The governor is joking, what does this matter have to do with Mr. Jia?" Zhou Yang smiled slightly. Of course he knew what Zeng He meant. No matter what the civil servants did, they could not be dealt with by the military generals. "Xiaguan and Yizhen Qianhu Wang Qian's family had an old grudge, and they lost control and had a conflict in the city.

It was only because he happened to be in front of the government prison that this caused misunderstandings among outsiders. The official had already realized his mistake and would definitely give you a satisfactory answer. As for the case of Feng Yuan being murdered by a gang of gang members, the official just happened to hear about it. Only then did I ask a few more questions. How to deal with it will naturally be left to the Jinling Mansion Office to arrange! "

"It's good if General Zhou knows." Zeng He nodded lightly, looked at Zhou Yang and said, "I heard that one of your subordinates was injured in the conflict?"

"Thank you for your concern, your lord. Although I suffered some skin injuries, my life is not important." Zhou Yang smiled and bowed, "To be honest with you, the injured Xue Baihu happened to be Xiaguan's uncle, and Xiaguan was also involved in this matter." How should I give this when I have a headache? This explanation will cause trouble to you adults."

"General Zhou is young and promising, but his temper is a little too aggressive." Zeng He nodded with satisfaction, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "If you want to make progress in the future, you should control it."

"Thank you for your guidance, sir!" Zhou Yang quickly bowed in agreement, "The matter is over, I don't dare to disturb you anymore, I'll take my leave now!"

"Yes!" Zeng He nodded and handed him the name card of Princess Yongchang again, "I won't give it away!"

"I don't dare, I will resign!" Zhou Yang respectfully withdrew.

After a while.

"Sir, why did you let him go so easily?" A man dressed as a master walked out of the room and asked with a puzzled face, "No matter what Jia Hua does, he should not be humiliated by these warriors. He is considered a warrior. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to honor the leaders of the younger generation?"

"The name card he just handed to me belongs to the nobleman behind him." Zeng Heng's cold words made the master's face change drastically, "This boy is a smart man, even if he pretends to be Rongguo Mansion and Qi Guogong at the same time. For the sake of the government, I can ignore it; but for the face of that nobleman, few people in the court would dare not to give it to anyone who has some means."

"My lord is right." The master said with a wry smile, "Moreover, no one dares to accept her name card. But, what about Master Jia?"

"What's the use of keeping a cold-blooded person like Jia Yucun?" Zeng He handed the stack of records to the master with a cold face, "Send it to him personally and let him properly investigate this case of a side conspiracy to murder a direct descendant. Take care of it; the Feng family can be considered a squire's family, and the family property must not fall into the wrong hands!"

"Student understands!" The master's expression changed after he read it for a while, and finally bowed seriously in agreement.
