Chapter 451 Jia Mu: Baoyu, my Baoyu!
Honor Hall
Everyone looked at the woman who came to report the news, Mother Jia couldn't help showing surprise on her old face, she murmured, "What are people from the palace doing here at this time?"
Xin Dao, is it another imperial decree for brother Heng to be promoted?
But this promotion is too fast, isn't it?
Mrs. Wang was sitting beside her with an indifferent face. Hearing these words, she seemed to have also thought of this level. Her heart couldn't help but "thump", and she turned her eyes to look at the woman. Her heart followed the prayer beads in her hand. Qi Qi clenched her hands tightly.
If you're not the person involved, you might not understand it, the kind of annoyance that can't stop "paying attention" in the middle of irritability.
Hmm, that sounds kind of cheap.
Aunt Xue was sitting on the embroidered pier next to Mrs. Wang. On her plump and fair face, doubts gathered in the creases at the corners of her eyes, but she couldn't understand the way, so she turned her eyes to her daughter Baochai. .
It seems to be asking, is this another promotion?
Baochai sensed her mother's gaze, and just shook her head slightly, under the slender brows of willow leaves, there was a trace of surprise in the moist almond eyes, she hadn't heard him mention it in the past few days, and what kind of credit did she make?
Sister Feng stopped talking, the bright and attractive young woman's face was full of surprise, and her heart was full of guesses like Jia's mother.
As for the imperial decree to inquire about guilt?
Now that Jia Heng is in great use of the Jia family, their momentum is revived, just like flowers blooming brocade, and fire cooking oil, they even mentioned repairing a garden just now, no one would think of it as a bad thing.
At this moment, Yuanchun, Tanchun, and Xiangyun also stared at the woman who reported the letter, but gradually noticed some clues from her frightened eyes.
Xing Xiuyan sat opposite Yingchun across the chess field, her slender hands holding the chess pieces were hanging in the air, her pair of quiet and indifferent slender eyes revealed deep thought.
Yingchun took the chess piece and put it down, raised her face, and called "cousin" softly, clearly urging Xing Xiuyan to drop the piece. This girl known as Er Mumu has always been indifferent to these things.
Jia Amnesty frowned and his face was gloomy. He was obviously displeased by Jia Heng's "happy event". He picked up a small teacup and was about to take a sip to moisten his throat.
But seeing the old woman suddenly cast a pair of "panic" eyes on him, Jia She felt a sense of irritability for no reason, and was about to ask questions.
"Old lady, the angel in the palace, she said that she wants to arrest the Elder Master." As soon as the old woman said a word, it was almost as if a stone broke the sky, and thunder struck the ground, causing an uproar in Rongqing hall.
"Clap!"
The teacup in Jia Amnesty's hand fell to the ground suddenly. For a moment, the porcelain fragments were scattered all over the place, the tea water flowed, and the carpet was soaked with large pieces of water stains with tea leaves on it. On the red and white carpet, the stains were glaring.
Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue: "???"
Yuan Chun's plump and beautiful face was full of disbelief, and he turned his eyes to look at Tan Chun, who was also puzzled.
Baochai frowned Liuye's thin eyebrows, doubts welling up in her heart.
"You bastard, I didn't do anything outside, what did you arrest me for!?" Jia She suddenly stood up, his face livid, his cold eyes like lightning, and asked the woman.
On the contrary, the woman shrank her neck in fright, and quickly lowered her head.
When Mother Jia heard the bad news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her old figure swayed, Yuanyang and Amber beside her were startled, and they quickly stretched out their hands to support her.
Jia's mother asked anxiously, "Why did the palace want to arrest Lian's brother and his father? He has always been at home, and he has no orders outside. Did he make a mistake?"
Could it be that eating, drinking and having fun at home, and enjoying honor in peace, is also a violation of the national law?
Mrs. Xing was anxious at the side, hearing this, she almost blurted out, and asked: "Did I hear it wrong, in fact, I took the second master. Didn't he just lose his official position the day before yesterday and stay at home?"
Mrs. Wang: "???"
The anger in my heart suddenly ignited, what is this called?
Yuan Chun frowned, looking at Mrs. Xing, Wen Ning was also a little annoyed.
Even a young girl with a peaceful mind felt that these words were very harsh.
Jia Mu gave Mrs. Xing a hard look, and said angrily, "It's broad daylight, what kind of hysteria!"
I don't know if Mrs. Xing's "ugliness" was too ironic, and for a while, the original dignified atmosphere of Rongqing Hall was washed away a little.
While everyone was talking, suddenly a woman behind the screen shouted in a low voice, "Old lady, lady, the second master is here."
It was clearly Jia Zheng who was chatting with a group of Qing guests in the study outside the front yard, when he suddenly heard the edict from the palace angel to the Rongfu.
Jia Zheng left directly from the outer study with a group of Qing guests, first went to the flower hall to see Dai Quan in the Daming Palace, listened to his brief narration, was shocked, and then hurriedly came to the Rongqing Hall to meet Jia Mu .
"Mother."
Jia Zheng, who was dressed in a blue and white round-neck robe and a scholar's square scarf, entered the Rongqing Hall with a heavy heart. His formerly elegant and clean face looked frightened. , Minister of the Ming Palace, Eunuch Dai delivered the decree in Rongxi Hall."
"Did you say something?" When Jia's mother was speaking, she stepped forward and grabbed Jia Zheng's arm, her old face was full of urgency, and immediately asked, "Where is Brother Heng? Where is Brother Heng? He must know what to do." One thing."
Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Yuan Chun and others also looked at Jia Zheng, hoping to read something positive from the expression on Jia Zheng's face.
Hearing Jia's mother mention Jia Heng, Baochai's heart moved slightly, and her almond eyes were as bright as water, and she looked at Jia Zheng.
On this side, Xing Xiuyan, who is playing chess with Yingchun, has already put the chess pieces in the chess box, and Yunlan's eyebrows and eyes are covered with a layer of worry.
Tanchun and Daiyu also frowned, listening intently to Jia Zheng's words.
As for Jia Amnesty, his face was ashen at the moment, and all kinds of speculations filled his mind for a moment, what exactly did he do?
It's no wonder that Jia She didn't expect his smuggling case to happen. After all, smuggling to the grassland has been going on for several years, and it has always been calm and safe.
Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Amnesty with complicated eyes, and sighed: "Mother, brother, he smuggled and smuggled to the barbarians in the grassland, and was impeached by King Zhongshun at today's court meeting. The factory guard arrested and interrogated the elder brother, and now the angel is delivering the decree outside the flower hall."
As soon as these words came out, Jiamu's heart sank, her old lips twitched, and she said in surprise, "King Zhongshun? Smuggling?"
The words King Zhongshun fell on everyone's ears, and they were all shocked.
Thanks to Baoyu's beating the day before yesterday, Jia Heng, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and others' "science popularization", all the female family members of the Rong Mansion present knew that this King Zhongshun was the deadly enemy of Jia's family.
Tanchun said in a low voice: "Why is it him again? It seems like the ghost is lingering. The last time it was about the business of the royal business of the aunt's family, and the matter of the second brother Ribao the day before, and now..."
Yuan Chun heard it, looked at Tan Chun, and sighed: "The grievances of the previous generation have stretched to the present."
Mother Jia turned her head with difficulty, looked at Jia Amnesty, and slammed her cane on the ground: "What's going on here?"
Jia She sat down on the chair with a slumped face, when he heard the word "smuggling", he felt his head "boom", like five thunders hitting the top, and his eyes turned black.
Here, the smuggling case happened!
Mrs. Xing's face was pale, and she was equally horrified and speechless.
She also knew a thing or two about the grand master smuggling into the grassland, but it had been several years, and nothing had happened. How could this be?
"Mother, the angel in the palace is still waiting in the Rongxi Hall. Let my brother go to receive the order first. If he is negligent, there may be accidents." Jia Zheng said with a gloomy face.
Jia's mother stared at Jia Amnesty closely, and scolded: "You usually enjoy good fortune at home, eat wine and have fun, and I don't care about you at all. How could you not know the heights of heaven and earth, and do such disasters!"
Because Emperor Chongping has not yet given specific results, such as confiscation of titles, imprisonment for death, and Jia Zheng's words are often unclear. Think deeply.
There was no mention of Jia Amnesty's possible death, and the possibility that the ancestor's title might not be guaranteed. Therefore, Jia's mother did not feel like the sky was falling.
Jia Amnesty was in a state of desperation, listened to Jia Mu's reprimand, opened his mouth, and walked towards the front yard in a daze.
The will of the palace cannot be neglected.
Looking at Jia Amnesty who left without saying a word, Jia's mother sighed, "What should I do?"
Seeing that Jia Mu's expression was not right, Jia Zheng was worried and said in a sad voice: "Mother, please take care of yourself, brother's case will be handled by the palace."
"Zheng'er, go and see how the palace handles it." Mother Jia waved her hand and asked without waiting for Jia Amnesty to continue persuading her.
Seeing this, Jia Zheng sighed, turned around and walked outside without saying a word.
Not to mention that in the Rongqing Hall, there was chaos and panic.
Honorary Hall
A group of brightly dressed and tall soldiers waited outside, with swords hanging from their waists, and formed several teams under the eaves of the corridor, not sheltered from the wind and rain. Perhaps they had been in prison for a long time, and their expressions were more sinister.
And in the spacious and elegant hall, Dai Quan from the Daming Palace sat quietly on the nanmu chair, did not touch the teacup on the small table, but raised his beardless and feminine face, and looked at the red gold hanging high. On the large plaque of Qinglong, there are three big characters "Rongxitang" written by Taizu's imperial pen, and "Book of a certain month and a certain day in a certain year" is also listed on the side.
Even if it wasn't the first time he came here to pass the decree, he was deeply moved by the background of such a long-time prince.
"Such a family of Zhongming Dingshi has received the favor of the emperor, but they don't know how to cherish it. They have to try their own methods and end up in prison. Why bother?"
In a flash of thought, Dai Quan expelled a certain emotion, but a sneer sounded in his heart.
Just when Eunuch Dai's thoughts were racing, he heard heavy and chaotic footsteps from far to near, and saw Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng entering the hall together, two brothers, one with a panic-stricken face and the other with a gray face.
"First-class Shenwei general, Jia She accepts the order." Dai Quan stood up, turned around, and gave Jia She a cold look.
Jia Amnesty froze for a moment, lowered his eyes, lifted his front robe, and knelt down in Rongxi Hall, the place where the two Rongguo guild guests had banquets, with his head hanging tightly.
"Minister, Jia Amnesty, accept the order."
Jia Zheng is also at the side, kneeling down.
Because it is an imperial decree to inquire about crimes, the internal prison officials will not allow him to find a futon again and listen to the imperial edict respectfully.
At that time, the spring rain outside was hazy and gloomy, and it seemed to be falling harder and harder. The sound of rain hitting the eaves and stone steps, tick-tock, fell on Jia She and Jia Zheng's ears, and the time seemed to be much longer.
Dai Quan said: "The sage ordered that Jia Amnesty, as a first-class mighty general, deeply disappoints my hope. Now he is being arrested and interrogated in the internal investigation factory. He will carefully investigate his crimes and rectify the laws and regulations of the country. I respect this."
Because the matter involved confidentiality and involved guarding generals such as Cui Ling, the governor of Ping'an, Emperor Chongping did not detail the crimes of Jia's amnesty in his oral order, but handed them over to the factory guards for interrogation, and collected confessions and evidence before disposing of them.
Jia Amnesty's hands and feet were cold, listening to the oral order, he felt that every word was like a thousand weights, and he couldn't breathe. He bowed and said in a difficult voice: "Minister, I will obey the holy order."
Dai Quan's sharp and feminine voice seemed a bit treacherous at this moment. He looked around and said, "Come here, take it down."
Immediately, four servants came in from the outside and held Jia She down. Maybe they didn't expect Jia She to escape, but they didn't put on big shackles or chains, but bound their arms tightly.
Jia She's complexion was pale, as if mourning a concubine, his mouth moved unconsciously, but he couldn't utter a single word, and he couldn't say words like "the tie is too tight".
"Marquis Jia En, the case of your smuggling into the grassland has been announced! Our family is interrogating you by the emperor's order. Later, we will first go to the factory guard's yamen to explain the details, confess our sins and repent, and strive for the grace of the sage. Do you understand?" Dai Quanxi Looking at Jia She with long eyes, he added: "For Jia Ziyu's sake, the torture tools will not be used."
Hearing Jia Heng's words, Jia She shivered Lingling, as if waking up from a dream, and said anxiously to Jia Zheng beside him: "Second brother, quickly let Ziyu beg the sage, I was just confused for a while, smuggled Hu Lu is not alone in the border town."
Jia Zheng looked at Jia She, who was already confused and panicked, and sighed secretly, but couldn't say anything for a while.
However, at this time, Dai Quan turned his eyes and asked: "Your mansion Jia Lian is also involved in the case, he should be taken away together, where is he now?"
As soon as this remark came out, Jia Zheng was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Why is Lian'er also involved in the case?"
"General Shenwei smuggled to the border, and the person who actually handled it was Jia Lian. We need to be caught and arrested before we can get to the bottom of it." Dai Quan said.
When he came here, Dai Quan had already read the dossier submitted by Beizhen Fushi, and he knew the details of the case clearly.
At this time, the woman who was inquiring about the news heard that she wanted to take Jia Lian, she was so frightened that she almost shuddered, and ran all the way to Rongqingtang.
In Rongqing hall, it was almost gloomy.
Jia Mu sat on the Arhat's bed, sighing and looking sad.
Surrounded by Li Wan, Sister Feng, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, Yuan Chun and others, they were speaking out to comfort them.
Baochai, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xiangyun occasionally met their eyes and shook their heads lightly.
Sister Feng's expression was not very good-looking, she said: "Old Ancestor, why don't you wait for Brother Heng to come back, and see if you can ask the palace for a favor?"
In fact, I don't know the reason why my father-in-law is in prison, but I don't seem to be so anxious in my heart.
Mother Jia seemed to have been reminded, and quickly looked at Lin Zhixiao who was serving at the side: "Go and send someone to see if Brother Heng is in court?"
At this moment, Yuan Chun and Tan Chun also looked at Lin Zhixiao, or they were waiting for the young man who was an official outside.
Aunt Xue persuaded: "Old lady, don't worry, Brother Heng is now a celebrity in the palace, so he will definitely come up with a solution."
While speaking, I didn't know what it was like in my heart. In two or three days, her family Pan'er would be sent to Wucheng Bingmasi for imprisonment.
However, at this moment, a woman came in hurriedly, out of breath, her face changed slightly, she glanced at Sister Feng, and said anxiously: "Old lady, madam, Second Grandma, it's not good, the angel in the palace, I have to take the second master."
When Jia's mother heard this, it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth was falling. Her eyes were dark, her eyes were full of tears, and she cried, "Baoyu, my Baoyu!"
Without him, King Zhongshun just sent a chief historian to ask the crime not long ago, and Baoyu was only cleaned up for this reason. At this moment, Jiamu, who was in a mess, panicked, how could she tell the difference-this second master, very Master Peter?
Mrs. Wang was originally trying to persuade Jia Mu, but because Jia She was imprisoned, there was a hint of joy in her heart that she didn't want to admit. When she heard the bad news, she turned pale and could barely breathe.
Turning his head with difficulty, he stared blankly at the woman, his lips pursed, and wanted to say something, but found that his whole body was trembling.
Yuan Chun's face changed slightly, and her beautiful eyes looked at the woman in shock.
How could Baoyu be involved in the case?He is still lying on the bed now.
"Second brother Bao is often at home, how could he be involved in the case." Tan Chun frowned and asked with a brow.
Mrs. Wang felt blessed when she heard this, and subconsciously asked, "Which second master is it? But Brother Lian?"
At this moment, it was almost instinctive, similar to Mrs. Xing's previous operation, worthy of sister-in-law.
"It's the second master Lian, the second master Lian." The woman also took a breath and said anxiously.
Sister Feng: "..."
So, what happened to Guan Lian Er?
Yes, she just forgot.
"My lord asked me to go to Ping'an Prefecture. There are some business matters that need to be taken care of." Such words caused ripples in Sister Feng's heart at this moment.
Sister Feng's face was pale, her figure swayed, and she couldn't even let go of Jia Mu's hand.
Ping'er saw that Sister Feng's face was not right, she quickly reached out to support her, and called out worriedly: "Grandma."
When Mother Jia heard the words, tears came to her face, um, the pain in her heart seems to have eased a bit?
But in a moment, he said anxiously again: "What's going on?"
The woman said urgently: "Old lady, the angel said that the second master was involved in the case, and he wanted to arrest the second master and interrogate him together, so as to find out the truth."
