Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 605 Prison
"Sir, this must be a false accusation. I am a member of the Shang Queen's clan and have always respected the Shang Queen. How could I do such a heartless and immoral thing?" Jia She knelt there and explained eagerly.

Feng Chengcan smiled coldly, and then said: "If someone has made a false accusation, go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice. I will naturally find out clearly. But now I ask Duke Rong to follow me back to the Ministry of Justice to cooperate with the investigation."

The people in Rongguo Mansion were at a loss when they saw this situation.

Then Feng Chengcan didn't waste any time. With a wave of his hand, several government officials behind him came forward and dragged Jia She up.

At this time, Jia She did not dare to make any struggle, so he let the government servants drag him and followed Feng Chengcan out of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion.

After Feng Chengcan and others left, Jia Lian realized what he was doing. He stood up and ran back without a care.

At this time, Jia Baoyu also sighed and stood up.

He didn't expect that his uncle would dare to be so rude. Isn't this putting the royal family's face on the ground?

I'm afraid this matter won't be resolved in the end.

Although Jia Baoyu is naive, he is not stupid.

Not only did Jia Baoyu sigh here, but Jia Lian ran to Rongqing Hall and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the courtyard:
"The old lady is not well."

Jia's mother was eating melon in the room at this time. When Jia Lian shouted, she was so frightened that the melon was thrown to the ground.

Before she could open her mouth to reprimand, Jia Lian pushed aside the maid who was blocking him and ran in crawling.

"Old lady, people from the Criminal Department came and took my father away just now."

This time, Jia Mu didn't care about the reprimand. She hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Aren't you welcoming the imperial envoy? Why did you take the person away?"

Jia Lian knelt there, crying and said: "I don't know who reported it, saying that my father was drinking and having fun during the Queen's mourning period, and was immoral and immoral. The emperor was furious and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to investigate thoroughly, so he took my father to the Ministry of Punishment. ”

After hearing this, Jia Mu felt dizzy. Fortunately, the maid was there to support her.

"Can't this evil obstacle make me worry less?"

"Quick, go get the second brother."

The maid below quickly went out and went straight to the yard next to Rongqing Hall to find Jia Zheng.

At this time, in the main courtyard next to Rongqing Hall, Mrs. Wang has received the news that Jia She was taken away. She is now squinting her eyes and drinking tea with a smile on her lips, leisurely and contented.

If this matter is confirmed, Jia She may not be able to save his life, let alone the title of Rong Guogong.

By then, their master will naturally be the legitimate Duke of Rong.

Just when Mrs. Wang was secretly happy, the maid Yuchai entered the room.

"Madam, the old lady will send someone to ask our master to come over."

Mrs. Wang put down the tea cup in her hand and said: "Let me go back to the old lady. The master is still in the Yamen and has not come back. When the master comes back, I will ask him to come over immediately."

After hearing this, Yuchuan immediately went out to send the visitor away.

After receiving the reward from Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu was so angry that she threw the tea cup on the ground and yelled at the maid who gave the reward:

"When did this happen? Hurry up and order someone to go to the Yamen to call the second son back."

The maid was also unlucky. She hurriedly ran to Mrs. Wang again and told Mrs. Wang what Jia Mu meant.

This time Mrs. Wang did not shirk, and immediately sent her servants to the Yamen to call Jia Zheng back.

Jia Zheng was still a little angry after he came back. He still had a few official matters to deal with at the General Affairs Department, so he was called back in a hurry by his family. As soon as he entered the room, before he could start questioning the crime, Mrs. Wang came over and said:
"The master is in trouble. The eldest master was taken away by people from the Criminal Department. The old lady is very anxious and orders you to come over quickly."

Jia Zheng's mind was a little confused. The boss had been very quiet during this period and didn't do anything extraordinary. How could he be taken away by people from the Ministry of Punishment.

"How can the Criminal Department be qualified to take away my eldest brother?"

"Sir, I heard that the Minister of Punishment came in person, with the emperor's gold medal in his hand."

As soon as he heard this, Jia Zheng knew that the matter was not small, otherwise he would not be able to alert the Minister of Punishment, let alone bring the gold medal.

Now he didn't care about changing his official uniform, and hurried straight to Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw several maids waiting there. When he saw Jia Zheng coming, he quickly led the way and led him directly to Jia Mu's room.

When Jia Zheng came in, he saw Jia Lian kneeling there with frustration on his face. And Jia Mu didn't know whether she felt uncomfortable or tired, so she lay on the bed.

Jia Zheng bowed to Jia Mu, but before he could ask, Jia Mu spoke first.

"This boss is so ignorant that he drank and had fun during the Queen's mourning period, and also provoked the concubines. As a result, he was sued."

Jia Zheng's eyes darkened when he heard this. He didn't expect that his eldest brother would be such a bastard. Could it be that he couldn't bear it for even a few days?
You know, the Queen is the Emperor's grandmother. It can be said that she raised the Emperor with her own hands and has the deepest relationship with the Emperor.

If Jia She was sued at this time, it would be like touching the tiger's butt and seeking death.

"Second brother, what do you think we should do? We can't let your elder brother end up like this."

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Mu and lowered his head helplessly.

In fact, Jia Zheng doesn't know what to do now.

Jia Lian saw that the two backbones of Rongguo Mansion were speechless, and he also panicked.

If Jia She is convicted, the prince will not end well, and he may return to his original position of working for the second house.

"Second uncle, why don't you go to the palace and ask the emperor to spare my father for the sake of our ancestors?"

Jia Zheng did not answer Jia Lian because he thought this would simply add fuel to the fire.

Jia Mu also looked at Jia Lian with dissatisfaction. This grandson was quite smart before, but now he is confused.

At this time, the emperor was furious. Jia Zheng went to plead for mercy. I was afraid that not only would he fail to save Jia She, but he would also get involved.

"Second brother, don't you have a good relationship with Jia Yucun? Let Jia Yucun go in and find out what the emperor says."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng thought it was a solution.

So he left Jia Mu's place, left Rongguo Mansion, and hurried straight to Jia Yucun's mansion.

The place where Jia Yucun now lives is the residence of a marquis from the previous dynasty. After Jia Rui ascended the throne, the count was given to Jia Yucun.

Therefore, although the current mansion in Jiayu Village is not as good as Rongguo Mansion in terms of regulations, it is not inferior at all in size. It even surpasses Rongguo Mansion in details because it was built later.

When Jia Yucun heard that Jia Zheng asked for an audience, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately welcomed Jia Zheng into the main hall at the side door.

When the guests and hosts were seated and the waiter brought fragrant tea, Jia Yucun asked, "Master Zheng, what's the matter with this visit to Humble House?"

Jia Zheng put down the tea cup in his hand and didn't know what to say.
