Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 137
Jia Rui perfunctory Jia Rong a few words, then took him back home.

Jia Zhen was already waiting impatiently here. When he saw Jia Rong brought back by Jia Rui, his face was full of ecstasy.

Jia Rong felt a little relieved to see her father so happy. It seemed that her father still cared about her, and it was not in vain that she had given so much.

But then Jia Zhen looked behind Jia Rong, and when she saw that there was no one else around, the joy on her face immediately disappeared.

He came to Jia Rui's side in two or three steps and asked anxiously:

"Why didn't Brother Qiang come back?"

Jia Rui pretended to sigh, and then said: "Old Shen of Shuntian Mansion is so stubborn, I have said all the good things to him, and even threatened him to pack up and get out, but in the end this guy still didn't let everyone go. "

When he said this, Jia Rui saluted Jia Zhen, and then said solemnly: "Then I thought about it, Brother Rong is the heir of Ningguo Mansion after all, and he can't stay even if anyone stays in the cell, so he will do it on his own." I advocated and promised to give Old Man Shen 3000 taels of silver, and then I bailed Brother Rong out."

Jia Zhen was a little anxious when she heard this, "Why do you protect this evildoer? If you want to protect me, you have to protect Brother Qiang!"

Jia Rong, who was standing next to him, turned completely dark when he heard his father's words. He opened his mouth to refute, but when he saw his father's sinister eyes staring at him, the anger in his heart immediately disappeared. , and then hid timidly beside Jia Jia Rui, lowering his head and not daring to speak.

"Brother Zhen, it's useless to say these things now, I can't save him, why don't you look for someone else, or go to Rongfu to find the old lady, maybe she has more face than me? "

Jia Zhen was impatient after hearing this, and said to herself, if it works, old lady, will I still come to you?

"Brother Xian, let's see if we can get Jia Qiang out if we continue to look for connections. I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

Jia Rui shook his head and said: "It's no longer possible recently. Let's wait another ten days and a half to see the opportunity. But even if we can save it, it will cost a lot of money. You have to be prepared!"

Jia Zhen's eyes were red and she stamped her feet and said, "As long as someone can come out, it doesn't matter how much it costs!"

"Oh, just be mentally prepared. In fact, they are also on the point of a gun. If there is no instruction from the Supreme Emperor, they can just say a few words about this trivial matter. There is no need to go to jail?"

In the end, Jia Zhen reluctantly led Jia Rong home, but he didn't see Jia Rong, who was following him, staring at his back with hatred in both eyes.

But all this was seen by Jia Rui.

In the next few days, Jia Qiang suffered even more. She was tied to the toilet every day, and she became even more coquettish in order to eat some steamed buns.

Just like this, the person serving you will inevitably feel uncomfortable and get punched and kicked.

Jia Qiang, who had just begged a mouthful of steamed buns from a criminal that day, was sitting in the corner devouring the food.

Suddenly the cell door rang, and two government officials walked in from the outside. They glanced at Jia Qiang casually, and then dragged Jia Qiang out.

Now Jia Qiang seems to have adapted to prison life, so although he was roughly dragged by two government officials, he did not scream.

When she came outside, Jia Qiang found four or five dishes on the table, as well as a bowl of white rice.

"Eat, this is a gift from your family."

Jia Qiang looked at the cell leader in disbelief. Seeing him nodding slightly, she immediately jumped on him, then grabbed the rice with her hands and stuffed it into her mouth.

The four or five dishes and a bowl of white rice on the table were all eaten up by Jia Qiang like a whirlwind.

This was the only full meal he had had in four or five days.

After eating, he was sent back again.

Several other people in the cell saw Jia Qiang coming back, and they all stared at him fiercely.

Because this kind of thing happened often in prison, it was because my family gave me money, so I could have a good meal at the table at the head of the cell.

But most of the people who are winking can eat half of it at most, and the remaining half must be taken back to honor other people.

Now Jia Qiang dares to come back empty-handed. Doesn't this mean he doesn't take them seriously?

So after the cell leader left, Jia Qiang was surrounded by the gang and kicked and punched.

And this time, the others didn't deliberately avoid his vitals, and soon he received a heavy blow to the vitals between his legs.

Jia Qiang rolled her eyes, and then passed out from the pain.

When he woke up again, he found that he was thrown next to the toilet like trash. His whole body was in pain, and the vital points between his legs were constantly tingling.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but wailed, but as soon as he screamed a few times, a big man came over and punched and kicked him again.

Jia Qiang didn't dare to scream this time, she could only grit her teeth and stand there hard.

The next day, at the same time, the old man took Jia Qiang out again.

There was still a table of good food, but this time Jia Qiang had no intention of eating because he was now suffering from a high fever.

When the prison guards saw that he didn't want to eat, they simply threw Jia Qiang back, leaving a table full of good food for the prison guards to enjoy.

Two days passed like this. Jia Qiang had not taken in any water or rice during these two days and was running a high fever. It looked like she would die if she didn't do her best to treat her.

After Shen Wence learned about Jia Qiang's affairs, he didn't care. He just sent a servant to Jia Rui's house to tell him.

After Jia Rui learned about Jia Qiang, he thought for a moment and felt that he couldn't let this guy die like this, so he immediately told Shen Wence that he could be released.After Shen Wence got the news, he immediately sent someone to notify Ningguo Mansion and asked them to send someone to take him back.

Jia Zhen's side has been restless day and night these days. Although she sent her men to deliver food to Jia Qiang, no news inside came out at all.

Just when Jia Zhen's hair was about to turn gray, there was finally good news from Shuntian Mansion, telling them that they could go get someone.

Jia Zhen was overjoyed after getting the news, and she personally led the people to carry the sedan to the door of the cell without anyone else.

After sending out a dozen large silver ingots, the people inside became friendly and quickly carried Jia Qiang out.

When Jia Zhen saw Jia Qiang lying unconscious on the wooden board, she was so distressed that she almost shed tears.

"What are you doing standing still? They are all dead. Why don't you hurry up and carry your father into the sedan chair?"

Laiji, who was following him, quickly said: "Master, you can't ride in the sedan at this time. You should prepare a soft bed and cover it with a thick quilt to carry it back."

Jia Zhen stared at Laiji angrily and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and get ready?"

Laiji is also capable. After a while, he brought a soft bed over with a thick quilt on top.

Jia Zhen quickly ordered her servants to lift Jia Qiang onto the soft bed, then covered her with a quilt. With a wave of her hand, the group of people hurried back to Ningguo Mansion.

After returning to Daoningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen immediately made arrangements to invite the doctor.

This time, Jia Zhen also spent a lot of money for Jia Qiang. He was afraid that the folk doctors would be careless, so he spent more than 100 taels of silver to hire a decent imperial doctor.

Don't think that imperial doctors don't need to eat. With their little salary, don't even think about glory and wealth.

Therefore, many times, these imperial doctors also worked part-time to treat the powerful.

Of course, depending on the grade and medical skills of the imperial physician, the price will vary.

If you can pay 100 taels for a visit, that's already the upper-middle level among hospitals.

Dr. Sun, who came in, frowned after checking Jia Qiang's injuries.

With just this little skin injury, it is impossible for a person to have a high fever.

So he hurriedly took his pulse again, but was quite surprised afterwards.

Because judging from the pulse condition, Jia Qiang's kidney water was in dire straits.

He had only discovered this situation with eunuchs who had practiced before.

"Take off your underwear quickly and let me see."

Jia Zhen's face darkened after hearing this, but she still followed Dr. Sun's instructions.

As soon as she took off her pants, Jia Zhen knew that Jia Qiang's life was over without even having to see Dr. Sun.

"These bastards are really cruel! Can I spare you?"

Jia Zhen had already started roaring angrily.

Doctor Sun shook his head when he saw this scene, then pulled Jia Zhen aside and said softly: "Even if the fever is gone and the injury is healed, I am afraid that I will be disabled for the rest of my life. Master Jia, you can see if it can be cured."

Jia Zhen gritted her teeth and nodded and said, "Treat, as long as you can save your life."

Doctor Sun nodded, and then went to deal with the injury himself.

Doctor Sun really has two skills. Although Jia Qiang's injury has been delayed for several days and has become suppurative and infected, under the skill of Doctor Sun, he was able to recover.

Of course, this only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The delay of the past few days has completely destroyed the inside, and it will not be of much use in the future.

After treating the wound, Dr. Sun wrote another prescription and handed it to Jia Zhen.

"This prescription will last for two months. It depends on the situation in the end."

After finishing speaking, Imperial Physician Sun packed his medicine box and left with the 100 taels of silver given by Jia Zhen.

But Jia Zhen became anxious here. He arranged Jia Qiang next to his bedroom to take care of her personally.

Jia Qiang didn't mean to dislike him because he was too seriously injured. She was even more attentive than before.

However, Jia Zhen's action made Ningguo Mansion, which was already a bit rumored, even more rumored.

I don’t know if it is because of this reason that Jia Rong, who is also very close to Jia Qiang, has never seen Jia Qiang again.

He is now hiding in his room, rarely going out, and the old friends of the past don't get in touch with each other very much, it seems that he was frightened by this incident.

After that, Jia Zhen prepared another generous gift and came over to thank Jia Rui as a reward for his help this time.

But he didn't know that the person behind this incident was Jia Rui. He now had Jia Zhen's money, and half of his previous hatred had been avenged.
