Aunt Xue looked at Xue Pan with a smile on her face and said, "My son, where did you come from?"
Xue Pan scratched his head, a simple and honest smile appeared on his big face, and said: "Mom, this is not a young year, cousin Dongfu Heng wants to invite brothers from the clan to have a drink, so let's go too."
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Well, later, you and your cousin have a good get-together and toast him with a few glasses of water and wine."
Xue Pan smiled, and said: "I just asked in the East Mansion, and said that Cousin Heng has entered the palace, and this New Year's Eve, I don't know what to do in the palace?"
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Silly boy, I am about to go to the palace to say hello and greetings on the New Year's Day."
Xue Pan laughed and said, "That's the reason."
At this moment, Xue Pan noticed the jewelry on the table and said, "Mom, what is this?"
Aunt Xue said: "I gave it to your sister-in-law Heng."
Xue Pan smiled and said, "Let me just say, my cousin Heng has helped our family so much, so Mom should give me something to thank her, because she always speaks lightly."
"Your mother is not as smart as you...you must find an excuse." Aunt Xue looked at Xue Pan with a doting smile.
While the mother and son were talking, they heard a woman from the outside enter the hall and said: "Madam, young master, young lady, the second master and master Heng are here."
Aunt Xue looked surprised, and asked, "Did you say anything?"
The woman shook her head to express her ignorance.
Xue Pan said happily: "Mom, you must have come to invite us to the banquet. I will go to welcome Uncle and Cousin Heng."
Saying that, shaking his head, he left the wing room.
Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other, but they didn't stay in the house. They lifted the curtain out of the wing room and stood under the eaves of the corridor to watch.
But seeing Jia Heng and Jia Zheng entering the Lixiangyuan, their expressions were solemn.
Aunt Xue didn't notice it, and Baochai frowned, feeling puzzled.
"Cousin Heng, Uncle."
Xue Pan greeted him with a smile, saluted and greeted him.
Jia Zheng paused slightly, looked complicatedly at Xue Pan, who had a "sincere" smile on his face, shook his head secretly, feeling a little unsure, then raised his eyes to look at Aunt Xue on the corridor, and sighed: "Pan'er His case has been released, and now the sage in the palace is telling Dali Temple to retry the case, Pan'er will go to Dali Temple with Ziyu later."
The smile on Aunt Xue's face froze for a moment, and when she heard the word "crime", her eyes darkened even more. With Baochai's support, she stood firm and said in a trembling voice, "Second Master, what's going on here?" ? Wasn’t Pan’er’s case settled in Jinling? Why did it all go to the palace?”
Xue Pan was dumbfounded, and after a while, he realized that he said anxiously, "Uncle, why did my case come to light?"
Jia Zheng sighed, not knowing how to speak for a while.
Said he was reported by Ziyu?Maybe there will be another disturbance.
Jia Zheng thought for a while, and said: "The nephew's case has been delayed for several months. Now that it is settled like this, it can be regarded as a result. Otherwise, it will remain undisclosed, and someone who is interested may find it out again, make a big fuss, and stir up trouble again."
As long as he was not sent into exile, he would be imprisoned for three years, and the result would not be too bad, at least he saved his life.
Aunt Xue listened, and for a moment she only thought of the result of "killing people for life", and her heart became more and more horrified. Suddenly, she saw Jia Heng, who looked silent, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, walked a few steps quickly, and even staggered down the steps, approached Pulling Jia Heng's sleeve, he mourned: "Brother Heng, you have to save Pan'er, I'm just such a son, if something happens to him, I won't live anymore."
"mom……"
Seeing this, Baochai came over as well, pulling Aunt Xue aside, with an eager expression on her snow-white face.
Jia Heng was unmoved, and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, I investigated Xiangling's life experience and found something hidden in it. Besides, Jia Yucun came to visit today. After investigation, he was involved in a life lawsuit. I just feel that the matter is very important. , I have no choice but to tell the Holy One.”
Aunt Xue: "..."
He didn't react for a while, and looked at Jia Heng in shock.
Brother Heng, why did he do this?
At this moment, Xue Pan looked at Jia Heng in disbelief, and said, "Cousin Heng..."
Baochai also looked at the young man, her apricot eyes were full of astonishment, but after a while, she began to think about the intention.
Seeing the horrified expression on Aunt Xue's face, Jia Heng's face remained unchanged, instead of letting Aunt Xue know from other people that it was he who brought the complaint to the Daming Palace, he should speak out the pros and cons, calm the rumors and upright people's hearts.
Jia Heng looked at Xue Pan, and said in a deep voice, "Wen Long, you fought with Feng Yuan to buy a maidservant, you fought to death, and you got into a life lawsuit. You may not lose your head, but you just listened to Jia Yucun's words and feigned death to get away. , and went to Beijing in a grand manner, once the case is found out, it will be a monstrous case, and the public will be furious at that time, and it is bound to kill people and pay for their lives, and they will be severely punished."
When Xue Pan heard the words "Killing for life", his face turned earthy, his legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground with a "plop", a few tears dripped from his eyes as big as copper bells, he walked a few steps, hugging Jia Heng's leg , crying: "Cousin Heng, I really didn't want to kill him at that time, cousin Heng, you have to save me, I don't want to die..."
When Aunt Xue heard the words of murder, her face was ashen, with tears in her eyes, she grabbed Jia Heng's arm firmly: "Brother Heng, you have to save your cousin Wenlong."
Then she looked at Baochai at the side, and said urgently: "Bao girl, please hurry up and beg your brother Heng."
Baochai's face was as pale as paper, and her apricot eyes looked at the cold-looking young man hazily, her lips moved, but she didn't say a word after all.
Jia Heng said: "Fortunately, in this case, the emperor's kindness is great, and Wenlong is the only son of the family. In addition, Feng Yuan and his slaves fought with Wenlong, and each was at fault. Therefore, he was sentenced to fifty sticks, three years in prison, and a fine Do hard labor and close this case."
Jia Zheng sighed, and said: "The Holy Majesty is very merciful in personally ordering the punishment. If there is a trouble, I'm afraid my nephew will lose his head."
It has to be said that Jia Zheng still played a lot of roles, otherwise, the scene would become extremely ugly, and Jia Heng would be in an embarrassing situation if a large family begged Jia Heng.
Xue Pan was both surprised and happy when he heard this, and said, "Don't you need to lose your head?"
Aunt Xue also felt relieved, she shook her body, and cried, "Three years in prison? Three years of imprisonment?"
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Auntie, Wenlong was sentenced to three years of imprisonment and hard labor. It is the grace of the Holy One. If there is no accident, Wenlong should be imprisoned by the Wucheng Bingma Division and assigned hard labor. , won’t let him suffer too much.”
He also came out of the palace when he suddenly woke up. The punishment of hard labor by Emperor Chongping actually meant some kindness.
The Ministry of Punishments has large prisons, which are temporary detention places for serious and important criminals, while the prisons where sentences are executed in central Beijing are managed by the five city soldiers and horses in cooperation with the Ministry of Punishments.
Because the soldiers and horses of the five cities handle daily security affairs, there are the most prisons.
The most important thing is that the hard labor in the capital is generally carried out and imprisoned by the soldiers and horses of the five cities, either digging stones in the mountains to repair the imperial mausoleum, or dredging ditches and building city walls.
Aunt Xue asked: "Brother Heng, what do you mean, Wen Long can be imprisoned in Wucheng Bingmasi Prison?"
At this moment, a glimmer of hope arose in Xue Pan's heart. He raised his head and looked at the handsome young man.
Jia Heng nodded.
Aunt Xue said urgently: "Then can we not let Wenlong go to prison?"
Jia Heng glanced at Baochai who had a miserable face, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Auntie, this is a case decided by the Holy Spirit, and it's finally settled, and the mouths of those who care about it must be blocked, and the law must not be bent for personal gain."
After thinking for a while, she said, "Actually, Auntie can relax. Wenlong was involved in a death lawsuit. He was neither exiled nor exiled into the army. He was only punished with hard labor for three years. He was only eighteen years old after he was released from prison. It happened to be a marriage for him. In order to calm down, speaking, the last time I followed my uncle, I almost lost my life."
Sending Xue Pan to a labor camp for three years is the ultimate solution to the blood-sucking Xue family once and for all.
Otherwise, last time it was the imperial merchant, what will it be next time?
In case someone plots against Xue Pan again, will he save him or not?
If you save her, you will easily fall into the trap set by others. If you don't save her, will Aunt Xue still have resentment?
It's endless.
In fact, this matter is also a wake-up call. As his merits gradually increase, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one in the Jia family relying on their power to act mischievously outside. After this incident, at least a lot can be prevented.
In fact, Jia Heng didn't know that Aunt Xue wanted him to match Wei Wang and Baochai.
However, after this incident, I will not mention it again.
What's more, the prisoner's sister has only heard of being sent to the Jiaofang Division, but never of entering the palace as a princess.
Aunt Xue's complexion changed after hearing Jia Heng's words, and her limbs felt cold.
Jia Zheng persuaded from the side: "My nephew's temperament, after this incident, he has to grind it hard. The so-called gaining wisdom through eating a ditch, three years pass by in a flash, just think that he has studied in the Imperial College for three years. .”
Aunt Xue: "..."
Where is this reading?
This is going to jail!Is this a good analogy?
Jia Heng said: "Auntie, Wenlong will be punished with hard labor. If he reforms well, I will try to let Wenlong go home to visit his relatives once."
Aunt Xue's face was pale, she looked at Jia Heng with tears in her eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, you have to save your cousin."
There was some resentment toward Jia Heng in his heart, but when he thought that his son would have to rely on the young man in front of him to take care of him, he didn't even dare to show any resentment.
Knowing that love is done, she just wiped her tears and said: "Brother Heng, there is only such a single seedling in our Xue family. He made a disaster, and now he is in jail. I didn't teach him well, Brother Heng, but I beg you to take good care of him."
Jia Heng said: "I will take good care of him, and I will go to Dali Temple later, get fifty rods, let him rest well, and after this year, I will go to serve my sentence."
Aunt Xue: "..."
Take a good look at it, just go to get fifty?
If the [-] boards are beaten, will her family Pan'er still survive?
Jia Heng said: "This is the punishment ordered by the sage. Don't worry, Auntie. I will watch from the sidelines. It's just that Wenlong has suffered some flesh and blood, and there is no danger of his life. If you don't go, if you go down with fifty sticks, everyone will die." Gone."
Jia Zheng sighed: "This is the truth. If no one is watching, the real [-] boards can beat people to death."
Aunt Xue was heartbroken when she heard the words, she burst into tears, turned her head to look at her son who was pulled up by the servant, stepped forward, hugged her head and cried, "My son, why is my life so hard?"
"Mom..." Xue Pan burst into tears.
Seeing this scene, Baochai had a bitter expression on her face, surrounded by panic and helplessness, she could hardly breathe, her eyes were red, and she said sadly: "Mom..."
Seeing the scene of the family of three mourning and weeping bitterly, Jia Zheng sighed, and persuaded him, "Let my nephew go with Brother Heng. We can finish this case sooner and we can be reunited sooner."
Aunt Xue wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned her head to look at Jia Heng again, and said in a mournful voice, "Brother Heng, Wen Long can count on you."
Jia Heng nodded heavily, looked at Xue Pan, and said, "Wen Long, follow me."
At this moment, Xue Pan's expression was flustered, trembling all over, he was speechless, how could he still look like an overlord?
Jia Heng didn't say much, and ordered the servant to support Xue Pan, then looked at Baochai, and said, "Sister Xue, please persuade Auntie."
Hearing Jia Heng's words at this time, Baochai felt like being struck by thunder, and stared at the young man, meeting the warm gaze, feeling sour and unspeakable for a moment, her apricot eyes were teary, and her lips moved:
"Brother Heng..."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Sister Xue, don't worry, everything is up to me."
When Baochai heard those nine words, she couldn't hold it back any longer, tears welled up in her eyes, slid down her pear-white face, quickly turned her head around, and covered her face with her handkerchief.
Ying'er took a step forward and said comfortingly, "Miss."
When Jia Heng led Xue Pan away, Aunt Xue burst into tears again.
Jia Zheng persuaded: "My nephew is young, has little experience, and doesn't know how to reason. Although he was imprisoned this time, he was lucky that he didn't lose his life. If someone else reports it, I'm afraid that his life may not be saved. "
The subtext is don't blame Jia Heng.
Baochai also persuaded: "Mom, brother Heng will find a way to help brother. From now on, he will be in the prison of Wucheng Bingmasi, and it will be cheap to take care of him."
Aunt Xue cried, "Why did we get to this point?"
Not long ago, brother Heng was helping her family begging the empress to solve the trouble, why did he send Pan'er to prison now?
Feeling even more wronged, how dare she blame that Uncle Heng now?
Her own son is still in his hands, and she will still ask for him in the future, but why is her life so hard?
"Mom, let's go into the house first," Baochai persuaded.
As he spoke, he called Tongxi and Tonggui, and helped Aunt Xue into the wing room.
And as time passed, the movement in Lixiangyuan finally reached Rongqingtang.
Mother Jia was about to go to Ning's mansion. When she heard the news, she couldn't help being shocked. She hurriedly led Sister Feng, Li Wan, Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun and others together. , and Jia Zheng, who was sighing beside him, frowned and asked, "Zheng'er, what's the matter? It's all right, it's Chinese New Year, why is my aunt crying?"
He thought to himself, don't... Zheng'er bullied him?
Thinking of this, my heart "thumped".
When Aunt Xue saw Jia Mu, she cried, "Old lady, something happened to Pan'er."
Mother Jia approached, sitting on the embroidered pier beside Aunt Xue, and said in surprise, "Pan'er, what happened to him?"
again……
Apparently, Jia's mother was deeply impressed by the fact that she was trapped in the chaos.
Chief Jia Zheng sighed, and explained: "Pan'er's case has been announced, and Ziyu has now taken her to Dali Temple."
Jia Mu's complexion changed slightly, and she said, "What's the matter?"
Jia Zhengjiang went through a series of narrations, and sighed: "The Holy Majesty personally intervened in this case and sentenced his nephew to three years of hard labor. This case will be considered completely closed."
When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.
Mrs. Wang's face was pale, and a chill came from her heart.
That Uncle Heng actually sent Pan'er in?
Jia Zheng said: "If Fei Ziyu, Pan'er was used as a raft by others, and this case was discovered. At that time, human life was at stake. If you think about it, it will not be so easy."
Yuan Chunyu paused for a moment, frowned, and said softly: "What my father said is true. Wenlong's case is life-threatening. The longer it drags on, the greater the troubles will be. Now I can take the opportunity to settle it. I will only be imprisoned for three years. Not too bad."
Mother Jia felt helpless when she heard the words, took Aunt Xue's hand, and persuaded, "If you don't do well in this kind of official matter, you will be easily grabbed by others. Pan'er can't do without a light sentence."
Jia Zheng sighed again: "Brother Heng went to the palace to ask for an order, but the Holy Majesty gave him grace."
Thinking of the previous scene where the monarch and his ministers were harmonious and happy, I felt a little envious.
Everyone chattered at one another, consciously or unconsciously persuading Aunt Xue, not to complain in their hearts.
Speaking of which, Jia Heng laid the groundwork a lot before, not to mention doing a lot to the Ningrong Second Mansion.
For the Xue family, first they sent troops to search the mountains, saved Xue Pan's life, and then helped the Xue family beg for the queen, and saved the imperial merchant's errand. This fell in the eyes of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. It's a human life lawsuit, and the matter is of great importance.
