King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 34 Designated Joint Trial
Deng An is a person who does not suffer, since he has to pay immediately if he wants money, he is afraid that He Jiayan will not admit it when he leaves the palace.

He was already in a bad mood, but if He Jiayan knew Deng An's villainous heart, he would probably explode with anger.

With a heavy heart, He Jiayan took out a few more bank notes, and at this time he was already drained.

To be honest, even if the He family has millions of dollars after spending more than 500 taels of silver at once, He Jiayan's heart hurts very much at this moment.

But right now the business has not been done, even if he is in pain, he has to endure it, and Deng An can't take the opportunity to knock money again.

Some people are happy and some are sad. How much He Jiayan's heart hurts at this moment makes Deng An feel so happy.

Staying in the palace in the past, except for the salary and Zhu Jinghong's reward, these little eunuchs have no extra money at all.

Earning several hundred taels of silver at once today is equivalent to his salary for several years, how could Deng An be unhappy about this.

Feeling elated, Deng An led He Jiayan all the way through, and finally stopped outside a palace gate.

"Leave the things, you go in with me!" Deng An said slowly.

"These things are for Lord Thirteen!"

"I know...but Lord Thirteen is in the garden, can these things be taken in?"

After saying this, Deng An turned his head and left, his attitude towards taking money for affairs was extremely bad.

Now that the situation is stronger than others, although He Jiayan felt unhappy, he still quickened his pace to follow.

Thinking that he was about to meet the Lord, He Jiayan tried his best to calm down and began to review the finished manuscript.

The following conversation is very important to his He family, and he must cheer up.

"Wait here, someone will call you later!"

He Jiayan didn't dare to overdo anything Deng An said, so he stayed where he was while waiting for him.

After waiting for about a minute or two, a small eunuch trotted out and told He Jiayan to follow him in.

Yingtianxing Palace has extremely high specifications, and there are row upon row of pavilions and pavilions inside. It is easy to get dizzy when walking into it.

After some detours, He Jiayan was led outside a gazebo, where one person was sitting and two were standing.

Among the people standing, Deng An was pouring tea, and on the other side was the stunning Yinglian.

In the past, underage princes were not allowed to be served by court ladies, but now it seems that is not the case.

Thinking to myself, Zhu Jinghong's voice came from the pavilion.

"come in!"

After entering the gazebo, He Jiayan paid homage immediately: "He Jiayan, a grassroots man, see the Thirteenth Master!"

"Just now when you looked into the pavilion, were you looking at the beautiful scenery or the beauties?"

What do you mean by that?I looked at the beauty twice more, could it be that the Thirteenth Lord discovered it?
Is the thirteenth master in a bad mood?Are you going to be unlucky?
Sweat broke out on his forehead, and when the adrenaline was soaring, He Jiayan said dryly: "Reporting to the Thirteenth Lord, the villain admires your reputation, so I looked at it twice more rudely, and begged the Thirteenth Lord to forgive me! "

In fact, Zhu Jinghong was just joking, but he didn't expect He Jiayan's reaction to be so strong that he even counted out the words of apology.

It seems that you should also pay attention to jokes in the future, otherwise it will be a disaster for outsiders!

Thinking of this, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Get up, stand up and answer!"

"Thank you Thirteen Lord!"

"Why did you come to see me?"

With his waist hooked, He Jiayan said with a smile, "Caomin heard that the Thirteenth Lord likes martial arts, so he collected some knives, guns, bows and crossbows, and invited skilled craftsmen to specially create a pair of armor according to the Thirteenth Lord's figure!"

"When I come to the palace today, I will worship these things as the Thirteenth Master, to show the admiration of the grassroots!"

Slowly picking up the teacup, Zhu Jinghong looked at He Jiayan and asked, "So, are you here to give me a gift?"

Not daring to look at him, He Jiayan immediately lowered his head and said, "It's a little bit of a joke, I hope Thirteenth Master will not dislike you!"

"How embarrassing this is!"

Seeing that He Jiayan bent over even more, he replied: "If the Thirteenth Master doesn't accept it, how can the grassroots have the nerve to go back!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled and said, "I can't bear to let you down with your sincerity...then I will accept it!"

"The Thirteenth Lord doesn't dislike it, it's a blessing for the grassroots!"

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Jinghong waved his hand and said, "You have also given me the gift, go back if you have nothing to do!"

The gift giving is just an appetizer, and we haven't even started talking about the business, so I'm telling myself to go back?

"Master Thirteen..."

"You still have something to do?" Zhu Jinghong looked sideways, he knew that He Jiayan's purpose for coming here was not pure.

"Caomin has something to do, and I want to ask the Thirteenth Lord to clarify my doubts!"

"Short handed, if you have something to say!"

"A few days ago, the inspector received a complaint. It was Jinling Xue's family who sued Yingtian Tui official Hu Jin'an. Xue Pan has no official status now. A grassroots man sued the imperial court order. Lord Thirteen, please help me with the details!"

As soon as Zhu Jinghong came out of Xue's house, Xue Pan made such a mess. It's normal for He Gujin to have associations.

"Since Xue's family has filed a complaint, it's enough for the prosecutor to try according to the law. Why do you ask me, a layman!"

"Then Hu Jin'an has a lot of friends in Jinling's officialdom, and he also has connections in the court...Cao Min's father is worried that once interrogated, there will be a big disturbance in the officialdom, and he is afraid that he will miss the crown prince's important matter!" He Jiayan said deliberatively.

"It's a joke. I'm afraid of causing waves if I interrogate according to the law. Could it be that Da Ming's law can't be arranged?"

He Jiayan didn't answer. It's really not clear whether Da Ming Law is a display.

"I don't like adultery and crimes the most. You go back and tell your father... Tell him to interrogate him as you like. If something goes wrong, the prince and I will stand up!" Zhu Jinghong looked angry, and his hatred was palpable.

"Caomin is my father, thank you Shisan Lord for taking care of me!" Having said this, He Jiayan knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed to Zhu Jinghong.

The last sentence actually expressed the feelings of He and Zheng. They wanted to rely on Zhu Jinghong to get through this crisis.

Of course, Zhu Jinghong didn't think so much, he only thought about what He Jiayan said about this time.

"The grass people will go back to the house and tell my father to choose a date for the trial?"

"Don't choose another date, just hold an interrogation in the government office tomorrow, and invite the elders from Jinling to watch. It's open, fair and just!"

"Yes!"

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

He Jiayan completed the task after receiving the letter of approval from Zhu Jinghong, but his heart was not at peace.

Although he is a playboy, he also knows how much disturbance this case will cause in Jinling.

Zhu Jinghong can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the wind and waves roll into the sky with a smile, but his family, as fishers, has to face the wind and rain.

It can be foreseen that there will be countless papers sent to Shendu to sue his family for all kinds of dirty things, and it is even possible to directly splash dirty water.

His He family can be regarded as the chief official of a province, but now it has also been reduced to the role of a pawn, which has brought shock to He Jiayan.

The life that used to be considered a carefree life does not seem to be the case now.

After leaving the palace, I looked back at the unattainable palace, and then at the palace gate that non-officials are not allowed to enter...

For the first time, He Jiayan felt that he had to study more to test his academic achievements, otherwise, after his father was a hundred years old, no one would shelter him from the wind and rain.
