12. Divergence Rongfuzhong
Whether the emperor is a wise monarch is not something that can be decided overnight, nor is it a matter that can be decided. What needs to be seen is a comprehensive evaluation. Although Jia Rong does not know the government affairs, Jia Zhen reads the "Dibao" in Ningfu's study and speculates from the government orders implemented in recent years. It seems that he is still a little smart now, and the emperor is also a little smart. Even though the father and son have a little quarrel over power, at least they can still hold on. Otherwise, they might have died with the second generation of the Qin and Sui dynasties.
Therefore, Jia Zhen went to Dali Temple to surrender himself as planned.
Jia Zhen had a very good attitude. She only wore a coarse linen, and even a short shirt with her legs exposed and her arms exposed. She only fixed her hair with a shoddy wooden hairpin. She held the jacuzzi and a string of keys with her hands respectfully, and walked towards Dali Temple step by step.
As soon as they saw this, the people along the way surrounded him and watched the fun and whispered: "Have you heard that, the Jia family was accused! The miserable beat the Dengwen drum!"
"The sound of drums spread throughout the capital that day was because of the Jia family! This guy, what else do you know?"
"Tell you, it is said that this servant of the Jia family is full of conscience!"
"A servant again? Isn't it a shirk responsibility?"
"How is that possible! Don't you know? The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, all the servants of Ning Mansion were copied all the way. I have a brother who is a yamen runner in Shuntian Mansion. It is said that they have been on the trial for several days. The gold and silver copied from the Haonu's house filled the entire house!"
"It's really good. The Jia family is rich enough!"
"I don't think that the Jia family is a military general, but it's a pity that their descendants are unfilial!"
"Your news is outdated. It is said that this prodigal son Jia Zhen turned around, and he reported the case!"
"No way?"
"Really, I'll tell you..."
“…………”
Along the way, Jia Zhen listened to the whispers of the people around him, listened to the "water army" of their Ning Mansion guiding public opinion, and silently calculating his own little plan. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned, he encountered a roadblock. Seeing this, Jia Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at Bao Mian, who was sitting in front of them with a little curiousness.
Bao Mian looked at Jia Zhen and said in a deep voice: "General Jia has not yet been tried, and everything has not been convicted and sentencing yet. Why do you have to do this before the case is closed?"
When he saw Bao Mian's frowning, Jia Zhen was not afraid of people knowing his "treacherous plan". He lowered his head and said with regret: "Mr. Bao, you are guilty or not. Think about the things I copied from those bad slaves. Why do I deceive myself? This matter is indeed because I am not strictly supervised. I will admit this indulge in the servant offends. I will admit the plaintiff to prison for one day. Because he sued the official, he even had to spend the victim before the case was over. But what about me, the defendant? He is still free and easy, just because I am a descendant of the nobles, and there are eight opinions that can be exempted!"
"But these eight discussions were introduced to understand those who have made contributions to the country and the country. They can make meritorious contributions. They can correct their mistakes and can play a greater value after they know that they are wrong. But I, Jia Zhen..."
Speaking of this, Jia Zhen chuckled, his voice depressed himself with desolation, and even felt a little inferior. Everyone was stunned when they heard it.
"I, Jia Zhen, have no hope for the country and family, but I am just a playboy. I am sorry for the merits of my ancestors. Naturally, only by treating the same as the people can I have the right to meet my ancestors in the future." Jia Zhen said, slowly bowing to Bao Mian and then continuing to walk towards Dali Temple step by step.
Jia Rong, who was following aside, also bent down to salute Bao Mian, wearing coarse linen clothes, and followed Jia Zhen tightly.
Watching the father and son leave, Bao Mian frowned Cheng Chuan tightly. For some reason, he always felt that this matter was strange.
On this side, Dali Temple welcomed Jia Zhen, and in a daze, he dragged his brother-in-law and the Censorate. The matter has not been tried yet and is still in the investigation stage. After all, the incident happened in Jinling, and they still have to form a team to send people there. The time required during this period is not mentioned, but the charges are charged. The encroachment of land in the previous item is actually not important. What is important is the subsequent lawsuit - the officials in the Jinling area protected each other.
Not to mention the officialdom in Jiangnan, this word is indispensable even in the capital.
This matter is all about it.
What makes it difficult for them to deal with is that there are two more "tops" now!
Therefore, it can be seen from the naked eye that this case takes time, and maybe it will be a year or two to fight.
Now Jia Zhen not only pleaded guilty with great pleasure, but also sent all the warehouse keys, account books, etc. of Ning Mansion to cooperate with the investigation. What does it mean?
Sansi was silent.
Finally, it was the Dali Temple Minister who patted the table. Since Jia Zhen cooperated so well, he was not embarrassed to be in touch with him. Anyway, he was a Dali Temple who specialized in interrogating corrupt officials and was not afraid of revenge afterwards. As for Jia Rong, who wanted to go into the prison together, he drove the people home.
After locking up Jia Zhen, the Dali Temple Minister dragged a brother in distress and entered the palace together. After being ordered by the emperor to "do things according to law", he took it seriously and first teamed to send people to Jinling for relevant investigations.
So, Jia Zhen stayed in the Dali Temple prison from the hot summer until the golden autumn October.
Jia Zhen wanted to curse her about this efficiency.
But on this day, Jia Zhen was just practicing boxing. He heard the sound of the cell opening. He looked back and saw Jia Lian, who was suppressed by the yamen runners and staggering with shackles, smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Finally, I waited for the inmate!
Speaking of this inmate, I have to mention that on the third day after he took the initiative to enter the cell, Jia She and Jia Lian came to visit the prison.
That day, Jia She scolded Jia Zhen, but in the end he spoke helplessly, looking like a uncle who was willing to take out money, and said, "Zhen'er, if you suffer, you will confess your guilt. Anyway, there is still the money to discuss the crime to compensate. Don't worry. Although you have changed a little, you are my nephew. I watched you grow up and we have been in love for many years. Don't worry, even if the Ning Mansion does not have enough money to atone for your sins, your uncle is rich and will take out you. Don't worry!"
Seeing Jia She's appearance as if she was willing to sacrifice herself, she stuffed him a thick stack of silver notes to make him manage the prison guards. Jia Zhen raised her eyebrows and remembered that it is said that Jia She's only shining point in "Dream of Red Mansions". When Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were in trouble, Jia She did not give up on help. This matter was also regarded by many people as one of the manifestations of Jia She's serious love.
Of course, what is more important is that Jia Zhen has always paid back every time and does not like to owe favors.
So, when Jia Rong came to visit the prison, she whispered a few instructions. Unexpectedly, after more than a month, she waited for her prisoner.
Without knowing that there were still twists and turns in the middle, Jia Lian was completely confused.
"Zhen...Brother Zhen," Jia Lian turned his head and looked at Jia Zhen: "I...I..."
"What's wrong with you?" Jia Zhen pretended to be surprised and raised her eyebrows: "I thought it was Uncle She who came in, but I didn't expect it was Brother Lian who came in first! It seems that I was not bad at the beginning. I convicted you, then..."
Listening to the meaningful smile, Jia Lian shook his head: "No! No! This is absolutely impossible, impossible! I was wronged and wronged."
"Who was it?"
"It must be Feng Jie'er, it's her!" Jia Lian looked angry: "Lai Wang's dog slave recognized it, it was Feng Jie'er's instructor!"
When Jia Zhen heard this, he expressionless: "Jia Lian, are you a man? Even if you don't know? Whoever believes it, your wife can't control it well? What can you do?"
"By the way, what are your charges?"
"Give up profits," Jia Lian's face was pale: "This...is not said to be a serious crime. The felony was intervening in the lawsuit. After eating the plaintiff and eating the defendant, the two families committed suicide and caused human life. They must have had an affair with foreign officials. I took me... my famous post and confirmed that the Jia family, the Jia family... not only in Jinling area, but also... my hand was extended to Zhili, I..."
"It is said that the emperor Long Yan was furious and he would be punished severely, otherwise... Otherwise, how could I enter Dali Temple?"
"I……"
Looking at the cold sweat coming out of Jia Lian's forehead and his face was pale, Jia Zhen spread on the straw and spoke inhumanely: "Don't listen to the old man."
Bingbing cold words echoed in his ears, and Jia Lian suddenly heard Jia Rong's words when she met in Yingtian Mansion. She couldn't help but get angry. She roared and roared out the words buried in her heart. She couldn't help but shouted out with infinite grievance and resentment: "What can I do?! If I blame you for being unfilial, I will be ruined in this life? Destroyed! Do you really think I am willing to run errands?"
"Who can I rely on in Rong Mansion? Who?" Jia Lian looked at Jia Zhen with envy and anger in his eyes: "Brother Zhen, you stand and speak without any pain! You are only a few years old and have the power of the Ning Mansion and even the Jia clan. But what about me? If I hadn't been relying on a little obedient, I called them the master and the wife, and I married Wang Xifeng, I would have some foothold. Otherwise, my future heir to Rong Mansion might not have been decent in the Jia family!"
"Since you have resentment and ambition in your heart, why not change it?" Jia Zhen even said in the end, with a sad feeling, without any change in his face, and said word by word: "I heard that you are good at calculating the accounts? There is some talent in arithmetic, why not leave the Rong Mansion and build a living by your own talents! You can't bear to give up the glory and wealth of the Rong Mansion? But those, although according to etiquette, are indeed what you should inherit. However, the power and interests of the powerful and powerful families, when your father gives up, unless you can re-talk your father and make your father's heart full of you and are willing to fight for you, you will be suppressed by the mountain of filial piety in your life and cannot raise your head."
"Of course, even if your father is willing to fight, as long as your old lady is there for a day, he will not be able to dominate the world with filial piety." Jia Zhen stood up, approached Jia Lian step by step, leaned against the gap in the fence, patted the person's shoulder, and whispered in the ear.
Jia Lian seemed to be struck by lightning, his whole body was stiff and unable to move for a long time. It took Jia Lian to come back to his senses and looked at Jia Zhen, who had already sat back on the straw mat at some point, shook his head angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! This is absolutely impossible! I can't be so crazy!"
Jia Zhen had previously suggested that he use chronic poison, medicine, poison, and death old lady. No matter what the master is, he would be able to use his only son butler.
This is completely inhumane.
No matter what, the old lady is still his own grandmother after all, even if she is biased to the second wife.
"Then you can speak with your strength!" Jia Zhen said loudly, then closed his eyes and rested, and stopped talking nonsense to others, even if Jia Lian spitted and chanted with him.
Jia Lian: “…………”
