The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 95 Jia Zhen's Death
Jia Lian spent money to clear his joints and brought wine and food to see the father and son.

The jailers gave Jia Lian some face and put the two men down from the wall. The two huddled in the cell like maggots. They squirmed slightly when they heard Jia Lian's voice, but could not move.

The turbid air in the cell, the stinking smell, the dim lights, the painful moans or the crazy roars can already drive a normal person crazy, let alone see Jia Zhen and his son at this time, how glorious they used to be. The two people were now worse than dead, lying on the ground like pigs and dogs.

Jia Lian was wearing a big fur cloak and was shivering from the cold in this dark and damp dungeon. Jia Zhen and his son were only wearing thin prison clothes and rolled on the haystack. They were worse than the most filthy beggar on the street, which really shocked Jia Lian. .

"Brother Zhen, Ronger, it's me here!"

Jia Lian saw that the other person opened his eyes and opened his mouth. He really didn't have the strength to come over. He had no choice but to stuff another 20 taels of silver into the jailer's hand. "Please open the cell door. I'll talk to the people inside. There must be someone there," he said. Good on you!”

"Master, hurry up and don't do anything. If something happens, you can't afford it!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Of course I don't know how. I just want to talk and give them two sips of wine to warm themselves up."

When Jia Zhen and Jia Rong saw Jia Lian come in, tears rolled down their cheeks. Jia Zhen stretched out her hand. Although Jia Lian felt dirty, thinking of their past friendship, she still stretched out her hand and held it with him. Her own eyes also shed tears. Tears come.

"How did it get to this point? How could these animals, inferior to animals, torture you like this?"

"It's Jia Cong, that bastard, I've only reached this point!" Although Jia Zhen is weak, whenever she mentions Jia Cong, her body will burst out with endless energy, and she wishes she could fly out of the cell at this moment, Jia Cong's body was broken into thousands of pieces.

If you say that Jia Cong definitely doesn't want Jia Zhen to be kind to you, Jia Lian will believe it; but if you say that Jia Cong can have the ability to bring Jia Zhen into such trouble, Jia Lian will never believe it.

It's not that Jia Cong forced Jia Zhen to bring those princes and nobles to his home to play the game. What does this have to do with Jia Cong?
Why did those refugees enter the backyard of Duke Ning's mansion? Yu Lu recruited them all. He followed Jia Zhen's order to find those refugees in order to deal with Jia Cong.

He advised, "Eldest brother, stop talking about these things. Eldest brother and Ronger are like this. The old lady even asked brother Cong to go around to find people to intercede for mercy. Brother Cong also ran around for eldest brother and Ronger. Brother Cong used to be There is some misunderstanding with my eldest brother. Now that something like this has happened to the family, he is more anxious than anyone else. "

"He wants me to die, don't let him run away, he will kill Ronger and me!"

Jia Zhen was so angry that she vomited blood and glared at Jia Lian, "Brother Lian, you don't believe me anymore? I also know that you think I am the one to blame for today? But tell me, it's not like we haven't played in Dongfu in the past. Why are we so far ahead? Everything was fine those times and nothing went wrong, so why did it happen this time?"

Seeing that Jia Zhen had fallen into a demonic barrier, Jia Lian could only persuade her, "It's not that I don't believe what my elder brother said. It's just a coincidence this time. Who would have thought? Now that it's like this, the Holy One is about to issue an edict. What's wrong with saying this?" What's the use?"

"The decree? What is the emperor's decree? Doesn't the emperor know that I have been tricked?"

There were all the witnesses and material evidence, but Jia Zhen couldn't bear the punishment himself, so he had all of them killed. Even the post he made to other princes and nobles made it clear that he invited them to come to enjoy the fans and play. Games on the fan.

After seeing those posts, the eldest master was okay, but the second master was so angry that he vomited blood and is now asking a doctor to nurse him back to health at home.

Jia Lian didn't want to talk about this anymore. He came here today not only to visit Jia Zhen and his son on the order of the old lady, but also to inform them of the situation outside.

"Even the title of Duke Rongguo can't be saved!" Jia Lian cried sadly, "Brother Zhen is still complaining, what's the use?"

Jia Zhen was stunned. His body was weak and he was tortured terribly. His energy was also poor and he couldn't control his emotions. "Is the emperor so ruthless?"

Jia Lian immediately covered his mouth, looked around, but luckily no one heard him, and cursed in a low voice, "Is the eldest brother really going to die? There are hundreds of people in the two houses, and the eldest brother doesn't care about their lives anymore. If you say something like this, do you think you want to kill everyone in your family?"

Jia Zhen cried loudly. If the titles of the two houses were taken away, how could he be worthy of the ancestors of the Jia family?A hundred years later, how could he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Jia family?
Jia Rong also looked ashen and his eyes were dull. If the titles of the two houses were taken away, it is conceivable that the punishment he would receive would be severe.

And is all this fair to him?
He just worked as a waiter in that game. He didn't even take off his pants. He didn't even have the money from selling preserves in his pocket, so he was sent to prison.

For a filial son like him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't get a title, but he still has to bear the punishment?
How unfair God was to him!

"Second Uncle Lian, did you tell me what will happen to my father and me?" Jia Rong completely lost his energy. When he asked this question, his heart hung in the air and tears flowed out.

He was extremely afraid of hearing bad news, but Jia Lian seemed to completely ignore his feelings and only said, "I just heard that he will be exiled for three thousand miles with a hundred sticks."

A stick?

He had already been beaten three times a day, could he be beaten again?
Jia Rong rushed forward, hugged Jia Lian's legs, and cried, "Second Uncle Lian, please save my nephew. How can my nephew withstand the stick? My nephew will die!"

Compared to life, a title is nothing.Exile for three thousand miles is something that will happen in the future. The journey of exile may be very difficult, and the place of exile will definitely not be as rich as the Ningguo Duke's mansion. But as long as the masters and Uncle Lian are there, they will not suffer too much. .

But the punishment with the stick was really what they had to endure, and no one could take their place. Even if they were given benefits to those who carried out the execution, they would at most be spared their lives, and the suffering and punishment they deserved would not be less.

Seeing this, Jia Lian was also heartbroken.

However, although he has affection, his ability is limited. What can he do?

In these days, even the old lady came to the palace to beg for mercy, and Mr. Jing stayed at home. When he had time, he went to beg the Supreme Emperor. Unfortunately, this time the Emperor and the civil servants were so tight that almost half of the nobles of the dynasty were trapped. involved in this ugly case.

If it's something else, you can also ask the nobles to help you say something. Everyone avoids such scandals. Even if someone wants to help, they are afraid that the stinky shit will get on them and ruin their reputation. .

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have a hard time in prison, but they don't understand the difficulties of people outside them at all.

"Brother Zhen, Ronger, please cheer up and eat something first!" Jia Lian advised.

The two of them smelled the aroma of wine and food. They had not eaten decent food for many days, so they couldn't help but wolf down a piece of pork knuckle. Jia Rong wanted to eat it, and Jia Zhen also liked it. The father and son started fighting for it. For the first time, Jia Rong didn't. He came out, grabbed the pig knuckle and gnawed it, with a wolf-like light in his eyes.

Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel frightened, "You're such a bastard, you're such a heartless thing, don't you take me seriously anymore?"

But after only scolding, Jia Zhen did not dare to beat and scold as before, and let the boy spit on Jia Rong. Without giving any face, she picked up the wine glass and swallowed it in a sullen gulp.

Jia Lian didn't want to stay here for a moment longer. The jailer outside urged him. He kept all the food and wine and food boxes, patted the dirt on his body, and walked out of the cell door.At night, the gate of Duke Rongguo's mansion was shot loudly.

Jia Zheng was staying in Aunt Zhao's room when he heard a woman shouting outside, "Master, Master, it's not good, someone from the Ministry of Punishments came, saying that something happened to Master and Master Rong over there in prison." .”

Jia Zheng hurriedly put on his clothes and got up. He already had a very bad premonition in his heart. He asked, "What happened?"

"Said... he died!"

At this time, Jia Zheng spurted out a mouthful of blood. Aunt Zhao was frightened, and she hurriedly supported Jia Zheng and said angrily, "If he dies, he will die. This is a good thing!"

"What do you know?" Jia Zheng shouted, "You still won't help me change my clothes!"

A chief official came from the Criminal Department and was welcomed into the Hall of Rongxi.

When Jia Zheng arrived, Jia Lian was already with him. Not long after, Jia She also came in a hurry. They met each other and the servants served good tea.

"Jia Zhen is my nephew. Although he committed a crime, there is still no order from the court. How come something happened in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?" Jia She asked with a bad look on his face.

The chief officer cupped his hands, his attitude still arrogant, "When the prisoner has a problem, it is indeed my punishment department that has failed in its duty. But, why don't you ask, sir, what happened?"

Jia She couldn't help but snorted and said angrily, "Now, you can tell me what happened?"

"An hour ago, there was a fight in the prison. Jia Rong first smashed Jia Zhen to death with a food box sent by your government. When the guards went in to get Jia Rong, he committed suicide out of fear of guilt!"

The chief briefly explained the situation. The three people in Rongxi Hall were stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

Actually patricide!

"Why did the dispute start?" Jia Zheng asked.

"You have to ask your own people about this!" The chief officer looked at Jia Lian, and he looked like he was going to investigate. "I also want to hear what my people said to the two criminals when they went there." What?"

What did Jia Lian say?
He just talked about some relevant situations. From what the principal said, it seemed that the death of Jia Zhen and his son was all his fault.

"You bastard, I asked you to visit them. What did you say to them?" Jia She pulled down a shit basin and Jia Lian trembled.

"My son didn't say anything. He just told Brother Zhen about some rumors outside. When Rong'er asked about it, his son said a few things, but it was just to make them feel prepared. He didn't say anything more."

The chief officer cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "There is no decree in the palace, and the three-level trial has not yet concluded. Even if anything is said outside, it is just rumors. Even the jailers will never dare to disclose the news from outside. Send it inside, now that a person has committed a crime, the punishment department will have to live with him, if the superiors blame him, what will he say?"

If it had been before, Jia She would definitely have to make a distinction. The prison of the Ministry of Punishment was so tense, why should the father and son be locked in the same prison?
However, at the moment, Ningrong's second mansion is in turmoil. It turns out that Jia Zhen and his son died in prison. It was a problem of the Ministry of Punishment. It was not Jia Lian who went in and asked the father and son to kill each other. Now that the chief executive is here, he will not say anything soft. Instead, he accused people.

This made Jia She and others feel particularly uneasy.

Is there any news in the DPRK?
The head of the Criminal Department, if it hadn't been for what happened to Ning Rong's Second Mansion, would not have been qualified to step into the gate of Duke Rong's Mansion. Now he is here, arrogant, and does not take Jia She and others seriously.

This makes people have to murmur in their hearts.

Seeing that Jia She and others were dejected, the chief officer raised his hands to Jia She and said, "Please give me an explanation!"

What do you mean?
Is this going to make Duke Rongguo take the blame for Jia Zhen and his son to death in a fight in prison on their shoulders?
It just doesn't make sense!

Jia Zheng was so angry that his face turned green, "What do you mean by that? Zhen'er and his son are in prison, there is no order from above, and the Third Division has not convicted anyone, so the person is gone. We didn't say we wanted to ask you for someone. You still ask what’s wrong with us.”

"If someone from your mansion hadn't visited the prison today and said something, would Jia Rong suddenly become violent and hurt someone?" The principal stood up and didn't pay attention to everyone in the Duke of Rong's mansion at all.

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng suddenly fainted again. He looked at Jia Lian worriedly, and Jia Lian was also frightened and turned pale. He was afraid that the Ministry of Punishment would convict him for this, so he couldn't help but step forward and submit, "Sir, you see, I too I didn’t say anything. If I could be accommodating..."

He took the opportunity to put a 1000-tael silver note into the hands of the chief executive, with a flattering face that showed no arrogance of a noble man at all.

Lixiangyuan was originally the resting place for Duke Rong in his later years. After something happened to Duke Ning's mansion, it was sealed off. Although several courtyards were left for Jia Jing and his female relatives to live in, they were all occupied by female relatives. Jia Jing was not a Taoist priest. After living there, he cleaned up the Lixiangyuan. He brought in a few young Taoist priests and studied there every day.

In the quiet room, Jia Cong sat cross-legged on the futon cushion. Looking at Jia Jing's face, which was still hot and red due to taking too many pills in the winter, even if there was no brazier in the room, he said impatiently, "Take me." Even if I stay here, I can’t think of that scripture.”

"I won't ask for your scriptures for free. Even if you give them to me for free, I don't dare to ask for them. Neither Jia Zhen nor Jia Rong can inherit the title. Duke Ningguo's mansion needs a successor. I have already told the Supreme Emperor. , recommend you."

Jia Cong's heart was beating loudly, but his face remained calm and he sneered, "It's not like there are no direct descendants of Ning Guo Gong's house. Although Jia Rong is gone, there is also Jia Qiang. Don't you count among Ning Guo Gong's descendants?" You choose people and come to me just for that piece of scripture?"

"That scripture is the true scripture. You don't understand it. You just say it. Do you still remember it?"

And such good things?

Although Jia Cong disliked Jia Jing's practice and damaged his brain, he had to think carefully. If he could really take the title of Ningguo Duke, he could leave Rongguo Duke's palace. Although Jia Jing was his heir, this man Ignoring Hongchen, such a deal is the most cost-effective for Jia Cong.

However, he also knew that there was no such thing as pie in the sky, and the palace would not agree to his choice for no reason.

There must be a reason for this that he doesn't know.
