Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 63: A Night Visit to Jia’s Mansion, Decision of Destiny (Please collect and read)

After Su Ran had dinner, he took his wife Wang Xifeng to Rongguo Mansion.

Since there was no greeting in advance, when Su Ran arrived, the Jia family had no preparation and seemed in a hurry.

After the gatekeeper went in to report, soon Jia Zheng and Jia She came out with a group of people from the mansion.

Although I have never seen it before, in the minds of the Jia family, it is definitely a great honor to be able to climb up to a rising star in Daqing's political arena like Su Ran.

Therefore, although it was rushed, the reception was still very grand.

Su Ran took a cursory glance and found that almost everyone in the Jia family was here, except for the old lady of the Jia family and some female relatives who were inconvenient to come out.

After entering Jia's mansion, Su Ran was directly invited to the living room.

And Wang Xifeng was dragged away by her aunt Mrs. Wang.

In the living room, Jia Zheng and Jia She sat at the left and right seats respectively, while Su Ran was placed in the upper seat.

Looking at the young hero in front of him, Jia Amnesty felt various feelings in his heart.

At the beginning, his son Jia Lian fell in love with the young lady of the Wang family, but he was thrown into the wrong place.

If this were an ordinary family, the Jia family would have ruined the other party's marriage by any means.

However, what made Jia She feel helpless was that the other party was a popular person next to the current emperor, and Emperor Qingyong even personally married the two of them.

In this case, if you have any thoughts, you are making yourself uncomfortable.

As for Jia Zheng, although he did not inherit the title of his ancestors, he was in charge of the affairs of the Jia family.

Jia Zhen was taken by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but what he thought more about was not this matter, but the whole game of the Jia family.

Therefore, seeing Su Ran visiting at this time, Jia Zheng has already realized the seriousness of the problem.

Of course, Su Ran didn't know what these two people were thinking.

After taking a sip of tea, he went straight to the point: "Since the last time I learned about the incident in the house, I have been asking everywhere, and even visited the prison of the Ministry of Justice. It was only today that I finally figured out the whole story. Come out."

As soon as Jia Zheng heard this, he quickly stood up and hugged Su Ran: "This incident happened too suddenly. I heard that the person was taken by the Ministry of Punishment, and I had no idea for a while. It was helpless to go to your lord to ask for help." , let the Lord Assistant worry about it."

Seeing this, Jia She also stood up, but did not speak. Obviously, he knew that it was his younger brother Jia Zheng who had the final say in Rongguo Mansion.

Seeing that the two brothers of the Jia family knew the seriousness of the matter, Su Ran continued: "This matter can be complicated or complicated, and it can be simple or simple. In my opinion, if you want to make the people in the prison okay, it will take a little while." Make it work at some cost.”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he looked at Su Ran seriously and said: "The minister said that, he must have found the crux of the problem. Don't worry, sir, as long as we can rescue the person, it doesn't matter how much money we spend. It's just that we still have to pay for it." I’ll have to trouble the Lord Assistant to take care of it.”

When Su Ran heard this, he immediately smiled and waved his hand and said, "I can only help you so far with this matter. You have to handle the rest of the operation yourself."

"But... where should we start? Does the Ministry of Criminal Justice have the final say on this matter?" Jia Zheng asked with some confusion.

Su Ran shook his head: "The Punishment Department is just following orders. If you really want to save people, you have to look up. I just don't know how much money the two governments can earn in a year?"

When Jia Zheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

If you move up the punishment department, wouldn't it involve the royal family?Also, what does the person in front of me mean by asking how much money the two governments can make in a year?
Does it take so much money to fish someone out?

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng clasped his fists towards Su Ran again and said, "I'm sorry for Zheng's stupidity. Sir, it's better to speak more clearly."

Seeing this, Su Ran sighed softly and said: "Let me use an analogy. For example, the annual income of the two governments is 20 taels of silver. I estimate that I will have to take out half of it. As for how to think of a way to hand it over. , I believe you should have a way."

As soon as he said this, Jia Zheng didn't say anything, but Jia She, who had been silent until then, shouted.

"What? You want to give half of it to fish for people? Isn't this...a little too much?"

Su Ran was not surprised to see Jia She's reaction. After all, no matter who it was, it would always feel a little distressing to take out money.

After listening to Su Ran's words, Jia Zheng was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until he realized that he was a little embarrassed that he said: "I probably understood what the Lord Assistant Minister said. In fact, the person from the Ministry of Punishment is the person above who saw that our Jia family has enjoyed the shadow for so many years. I can't see it." If you go down, you will have to cut off your wrists to survive, or you will have to be uprooted."

"That's right." When Su Ran heard this, he nodded heavily and said, "If this matter is not handled well, there will be trouble later. In addition, even if the people behind are released, they will still have to deal with the people in the house. When the restrictions are tightened, it can no longer be the same as before, otherwise, if it really angers the person above, even if I want to help, there is nothing I can do to save it."

After hearing these words, Jia Zheng stroked his beard and let out a long sigh.

"These unscrupulous descendants spend their days idle and unaware of the heights of the world. After this incident, I hope it can wake them up."

Seeing that the matter had been basically explained, Su Ran stood up and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, someone came from outside to report that the old lady of Jia Mansion invited Su Ran to her place for a talk.

Seeing this, Su Ran thought that since he was here today, it would be good to meet this mainstay of the Jia family.

When she married Wang Xifeng, didn't she ask Mrs. Wang to send her 1000 taels of silver? This favor can be considered repaid today.

Thinking of this, Su Ran looked at the two Jia Zheng brothers, smiled and said: "I just want to pay a visit to the old lady, but I'm afraid it will be too abrupt."

Seeing this, Jia Zheng got up and made a gesture of invitation, and led Su Ran to the outside of the living room.

The Jia Mansion is indeed a family of two kingdoms. Just looking at the land it occupies is not comparable to that of an ordinary official family.

Although his house was a reward from Emperor Qingyong, compared with Jia's house, it was not an order of magnitude at all.

Under the leadership of Jia Zheng, Su Ran walked for nearly 10 minutes before arriving at the residence of the old lady of the Jia family.

I have to say that this old lady has been at the helm of the Jia family for so many years, which is indeed extraordinary. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a mature person.

Su Ran just explained the matter briefly, and she immediately made the decision. Starting from tomorrow, all the expenses for the Jia family and others will be halved.

In addition, she also ordered Jia Zheng to quickly raise 15 taels of silver, and asked someone to hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately.

Before Su Ran left, the old lady actually prepared a piece of high-quality jade Ruyi as a gift to Wang Xifeng.

Facing such an old lady who knew how to behave, Su Ran had no choice but to say thank you and accept the gift.
