King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 58 The Right Time

After leaving the bedroom, Zhu Jinghong and the two did not stay idle, but left the palace in a sedan chair.

It was because Zhu Jingyuan said that he was going to visit the arrested students and persuade them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and follow the right path.

Hearing this reason, Zhu Jinghong had some doubts about Zhu Jingyuan's intentions. Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to whitewash himself and buy people's hearts at the same time?
This is not impossible, Zhu Jingyuan can completely blame Jin Yiwei, and then pretend to be a good person to rescue these people.

In this way, Zhu Jingyuan not only accomplished his job, but also earned a lot of prestige.

Such a sincere fourth brother actually aroused his doubts. Zhu Jinghong thought it was ridiculous when he thought about it, and secretly sighed that the royal family had no family ties.

The ass decides the head. Although Zhu Jinghong is a time traveler, he is just a layman who pursues power.

Soon the two of them arrived at the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, and as long as the people in the yamen were able to move, they all rushed to the gate to greet them.

When the two brothers entered the Qianhu Office, they were only accompanied by Li Wenzhao and a few subordinate officials, and the others were dispersed.

"Where are the students, take me to see!"

"Please, Prince!" Li Wenzhao led the way.

Zhu Jinghong followed all the time, and he didn't say much before and after.

There were so many students that the Jinyiwei prison was packed to the brim, and Wang Qun, who entered the cell early, could no longer enjoy a single room.

An hour has passed since he was caught, Jin Yiwei questioned everyone, but no one told the truth.

This is all because Li Wenzhao was very cautious and did not torture the arrested students, otherwise Jin Yiwei would not be able to pry his mouth open.

"Prince, the suspects are all in the prison, and the inside is dirty... Should I bring them out?" Li Wenzhao asked tentatively.

Compared to other cells, the Jinyiwei Prison was already clean, and when they learned that Zhu Jingyuan was coming, they even cleaned it specially.

At this moment, he didn't want Zhu Jingyuan to go in, purely out of instinct to hide his ugliness.

After all, it is a prison cell after all, and seeing too many bad things in the prison will definitely lower your opinion of Jin Yiwei.

"Don't bother, I'll go in and have a look!"

Zhu Jingyuan really cared about the students, so he was determined to go in, which made Li Wenzhao very upset.

He was forced to be a bad guy, so Zhu Jingyuan pretended to be a good guy?It's too blatant.

Even if you are the prince, don't you consider the feelings of the people below?

Sensing the change in Li Wenzhao's expression, Zhu Jinghong stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of comfort.

At this moment Zhu Jinghong will not explain, after all he is also eyeing the position of prince, and he is only acting as a princeling for the time being.

"Go... go in and see!"

After saying this, Zhu Jinghong also followed in, and Li Wenzhao followed after sighing.

"Shut up, the prince is here!"

"Shut up..."

The prison cell was full of scolding from the school captains, Zhu Jingyuan frowned unceasingly.

However, the scolding by the school captains was useless, and all the students who learned that the prince was coming seemed to see a savior.

They would not have imagined that the reason why they were taken into prison was all because of Zhu Jingyuan's decision.

"Shut up, everyone shut up, the prince is lecturing!"

"Everything is quiet..."

It took a lot of effort before the school captains calmed down everyone. At this moment, Zhu Jinghong walked into the cell and appeared among the students.

"Students kowtow to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness is a thousand years old!"

The rebellious students in the cell knelt down and worshiped with great reverence at this moment, vividly explaining what is meant by the divine right of kings, even though Zhu Jingyuan is only the crown prince.

What a noble person Zhu Jingyuan is, he is willing to condescend to see them at this moment, what a respectful and virtuous corporal, how can they not be moved.

Without telling everyone to get up, Zhu Jingyuan glanced around the cell, and finally said: "You are so confused!"

These words are also true, but it is a pity that they can only be expressed in words, and the students can really feel them.

"You guys are young and don't know much about politics. You should be good at studying, and you will educate the people for the court in the future..."

"But now they are bewitched by others, and they gather together to interfere with the government. Is this considered wise?"

Every sentence was drawn from the bottom of my heart. The students present were very quiet, and everyone listened carefully.

"It seems that there is no need to use punishment today!" Zhu Jinghong sighed in a low voice.

Traveling through these days, Zhu Jinghong didn't think much of the crown prince, but today he finally saw the other side's shining point.

Zhu Jingyuan strictly demanded himself with the scriptures, and the combination of saint-like conduct and eldest son status naturally inspired the scholar-bureaucrat class.

It doesn't matter whether he is pedantic or benevolent, but there are many supporters behind him. It is no wonder that Zhu Jingyuan, the sixth son, has been tossing all these years, and Zhu Jingyuan is still sitting on the crown prince.

"The prince wants to let them go?"

Li Wenzhao couldn't understand, so he asked this question.

Looking at the prince who was still admonishing him, Zhu Jinghong said indifferently: "They will take the initiative to confess!"

"Master Thirteen, what should we do after confessing!"

"Of course it is to take people!"

"Yes!" Li Wenzhao replied.

This is Zhu Jinghong looking back and saying: "Take people at the right time!"

Li Wenzhao hooked his waist: "Please show me the Thirteenth Lord!"

Zhu Jinghong smiled: "Whenever is the most sensational and attracts the most talk, go for it!"

Li Wenzhao already knew that those people were behind the scenes, and now it was just a supplementary procedure.

When he was thinking, he heard Zhu Jinghong sigh: "The trial will be held tomorrow, and the case will be over!"

…………

As night fell, the lights were on in the back hall of Yingtianfu Yamen, and Jia Yucun sat behind the desk with his forehead supported.

A major event happened in Jinling today, but he was not able to participate in it. Now the event has been settled, and his chance of boiling has gone.

"Hesitating, time is waiting!"

He has never clearly stood in line, and wanted to help the prince succeed at the critical moment, but he failed to grasp the opportunity.

"Master, Madam sent a message to invite Master to return home for dinner!"

"understood!"

With another long sigh, Jia Yucun got up from his chair and walked to the back office with his entourage. His official residence is just behind the mansion office.

After entering the mansion and entering the inner house, there is a servant girl to serve and change clothes. After putting on plain clothes, Jia Yucun came to the dining room.

His wife, Jiao Xing, was sitting at the dining table and was feeding the child with the maid, when she saw her husband appear, she handed the child to the maid.

"Master is back!"

"Yeah!" Yucun responded, and then sat down in his seat.

Jiao Xing winked, and the maids in the room got busy, bringing all the food and wine.

After pouring the wine for her husband herself, Jiao Xing handed the wine glass to Yucun, who took the glass and drank it down.

"Master, is something on your mind?"

During the past few years together, Jiao Xing knew Jia Yucun very well, so she asked him out when she saw that he was frowning.

"Oh... it's hard to describe!"

While picking up vegetables for Jia Yucun, Jiao Xing said in a soothing tone, "My master has been promoted to the magistrate of Yingtian. It's a good time for the future. What's there to be unhappy about?"

From the status of a maid, she was adopted by Jia Yucun as an aunt, and then became a stepwife again. Jiao Xing has been lucky for several years.

Now that Jia Yu village official has returned to her post, she has become the official wife again, and she is very satisfied with her current life, so she can't understand her husband's mood.

"You don't understand!" After saying this, Yucun took another sip of the wine.

"Master, you once taught my concubine an idiom, I wonder if the master still remembers it?"

In order to improve Jiao Xing's cultural level, Jia Yucun often gave her lessons in her spare time.

"Which one?"

Jiao Xing said in a soft tone: "It's hard to fill the gap!"

Jia Yucun was stunned for a moment, this word was like a slap in the face, which made him re-examine himself.

He wanted to be a high-ranking official, wanted to become a great success... Jia Yucun found himself in a daze.

After a long time, Jia Yucun's depression dissipated, and he said slowly: "Madam, you taught me today!"
