Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 57 The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment's visit, it's a bit complicated
After Su Ran left Shuntian Mansion, she did not take the carriage again, but chose to walk alone.

As for the coachman driving the horse, let him drive back home first.

Although Zhao Wenyuan helped him continue to inquire about the situation, it would probably be difficult to handle this matter if he only relied on him.

In fact, Su Ran was still thinking about another question at this moment, which was whether to save Jia Zhen or not.

A person like Jia Zhen is a nuisance even when he is alive. Logically speaking, he should not be saved. Even if he is beheaded by the Ministry of Punishment, he still deserves it.

However, Mrs. Wang has already approached the door. If she remains indifferent and does not take some action, it will appear that she is incompetent.

What's more, there is likely to be a force behind this that doesn't like him.

After thinking about it, Su Ran felt that the person still needed to be saved, but before that, he had to be taught a lesson.

The worst thing is, I'll kill this guy again when he causes trouble again.

When he was in Shuntian Mansion just now, Zhao Wenyuan also revealed information that the current Minister of Punishment was named Yang Naijin, and he was recommended by the King of Dongping County.

Su Ran felt a little confused about this.

Because when he and Wang Xifeng got married, the Dongping County Prince did not send any congratulatory gifts.

In other words, the King of Dongping County is obviously not a faction with the King of Beijing and the King of Nan'an County.

However, when I finally managed to pull Lu Chan down from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, why was it that the person who finally took the position was not someone from Emperor Qingyong?

Could it be that although the Prince of Dongping County did not deal with Emperor Qingyong, he still had his own faction?
Thinking about this question, Su Ran had already walked to the door of the house unconsciously.

Before he entered the door, he saw Ping'er wearing a green dress standing at the door and looking around, with a somewhat anxious look on his pretty face.

Seeing Su Ran, she immediately ran over like a baby swallow returning to its nest.

"Master, Lord, Mr. Yang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is here."

When Su Ran heard this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

Why is he here?

Did you know that the Jia family found me so soon?
Or...did they plan this a long time ago?

With these doubts, Su Ran and Ping'er walked towards the house together.

Arriving at the back house, Su Ran found a man of medium height, with a white face and black beard, wearing official uniform, sitting in the living room drinking tea.

Seeing Su Ran, the man immediately stood up with a smile and hugged his fists: "Master Su, it's a bit presumptuous for Yang to come here uninvited."

Seeing this, Su Ran also smiled and clasped his fists at the other party: "What are you talking about, Master Yang? I usually want to invite Master Shangshu to tea, but I still can't. Master Yang, please sit down quickly."

It was only then that Su Ran discovered that he had indeed met this man when he went to court yesterday, but he just didn't pay attention to his official position at the time.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the host and guest sat down.

However, Yang Naijin did not mention anything about Jia Zhen at first, but talked about some commonplace things.

When Su Ran saw this posture, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that the person in front of him would definitely not come to the house for no reason.

Sure enough, after the common conversation was almost finished, Yang Naijin finally brought the conversation to the main topic.

And this topic is about Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion.

The general content is the ins and outs of Jia Zhen's case.

Yang Naijin's words were basically the same as what Zhao Wenyuan, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, said before.

To put it in layman's terms, with all the personal and material evidence available, whatever Jia Zhen said was just to defend herself, which could not be accepted according to the laws of the Daqing Dynasty.

The reason why Yang Naijin came here was to inform Su Ran about the case.

Of course, he also expressed his attitude, which was to ask Su Ran to try not to interfere in this matter.

Logically speaking, the Minister of Punishment was a high-ranking member of the imperial court, so there was no need for him to come and tell him this, but he came anyway.Regarding the reason, although Yang Naijin did not say it clearly, he did reveal it intentionally or unintentionally, that is, he came here because he was the king of Dongping County.

Hearing this, Su Ran confirmed his judgment even more, that is, the king of Dongping County should not be with Feng Bingyuan.

The reason why Dongping County King did this should be to win him over and not want him to be involved in this vortex.

However, there is still a problem here.

Is it the intention of the King of Dongping that the Ministry of Criminal Justice lock Jia Zhen, or is it forced to do so under some kind of pressure?

Regarding this point, Su Ran also asked Yang Naijin.

Although he did not specify the specific reason, he also revealed that other princes were involved behind the incident.

After figuring this out, Su Ran felt that this matter was far more complicated than she imagined.

There is actually a certain force that even Prince Dongping has to avoid its edge. This is really scary.

Faced with Prince Dongping's kindness, Su Ran did not directly state whether he would eventually intervene in the matter. He just asked Yang Naijin to convey his gratitude to Prince Dongping.

Seeing that his mission was completed, Yang Naijin didn't stay any longer, said goodbye and left the Su Mansion.

After sending Yang Naijin off, Su Ran went through the whole thing again.

The cause of this incident seemed to be that Jia Zhen was seduced by the woman and then framed.

However, if you look into the deeper reasons, it is actually for yourself.

If you take care of this matter yourself, you will most likely get yourself into trouble.

And if you don't care about it, your opponent's goal of suppressing you will be achieved.

Through this incident, the opponent will further demonstrate his unrivaled power in the officialdom of Daqing.

After thinking about all this, Su Ran also made a choice in his heart.

In this matter, no matter what, the opponent cannot succeed, otherwise, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom of the Daqing Dynasty in the future.

In other words, this is a battle of honor and disgrace, either you die or I live.

After making up her mind, Su Ran stood up and walked towards the door with heavy steps.

He was going to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to meet Jia Zhen.

Because no one can save him except Jia Zhen herself at this time.

……

Perhaps anticipating Su Ran's arrival, Yang Naijin greeted the prison guards in advance.

Therefore, Su Ran came to the prison of the Ministry of Justice without any hindrance.

Faced with a sudden visit from a stranger, Jia Zhen's face was full of anxiety.

However, when Su Ran revealed his identity, the current head of Ningguo Mansion was so excited that he burst into tears.

He never thought that someone would come to see him even after he was thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

And this person who came to see him turned out to be a person whom he had only heard of but had never met.

After Su Ran explained his purpose, Jia Zhen immediately told the whole story again like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.

What he said was basically the same as what Zhao Wenyuan, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, said before.

But there was one detail that made Su Ran's eyes shine.
