Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 266 Tuogu
"I helped you when you left Ningguo Mansion. Although you also helped Rongguo Mansion a lot, I still have to shamelessly ask you for something!" Jia Mu stopped here. She needed to wait until Jia Mu Qiang answered in the affirmative.

"Old lady, you said, as long as it is within my ability, I will try my best to handle it!" Jia Qiang promised softly.

Indeed, Jia Mu was kind to him back then. If Jia Baoyu hadn't harassed Lin Daiyu many times and Jia Mu followed to help, maybe the relationship between Jiahou Mansion and Rongguo Mansion wouldn't be so bad.

Now that Jia Mu has spoken out about her help, Jia Qiang has no way to refuse.

"No matter who is in the Rongguo Mansion, as long as you have the ability, please help me. Not only to restore the glory of the Rongguo Mansion, but at least to be able to support the Jia family again!" Jia Mu had already thought of her request.

She had long given up the idea of ​​letting Jia Qiang help Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu had done a lot of wrong things with Lin Daiyu, and it was impossible for Jia Qiang to forgive Jia Baoyu.

At the end of her life, what she wanted to consider most was not Jia Baoyu, but how to treat her husband Jia Daishan well after her death.

The huge Rongguo Mansion is now in such a situation in her hands.

The only thing that can be done is to ask Jia Qiang to help the descendants of the Jia family. As long as the descendants of the Jia family are not too bad, it is not difficult to become an official with Jia Qiang's help.

In fact, Jia Mu also knew that Jia Lan was the best choice, but she still spoke vaguely, just in case Jia Baoyu became successful, and Jia Qiang was willing to help.

Jia Mu lived long enough and enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth, and then dragged Rongguo Mansion into the abyss.

"At this point, I just want to hear a couple of truths!" Jia Mu said in a deep voice.

"It turns out that I have done so many wrong things in my life because I was not optimistic about Rongguo Mansion. Brother Qiang, tell me the truth. Did Yuanchun really poison people in Cining Palace?" Jia Mu's aura became more and more intense. Weak, she asked, trying to persist.

But she didn't want to think about the example she set, and the younger generations would naturally learn from it, and all the servants would reach out for corruption.

I don’t know how much the Rongguo Mansion’s annual income is, but I think the expenses must exceed the income, and they have even been using the family savings from the past.

It was Jia Mu's intention to send Yuanchun to the palace.

The second is that the men of the Jia family have nothing to do, and the political master is not good at being an official. He never cares about family affairs at home and allows Mrs. Wang to do whatever he wants. The master is not good at being an official and does not care about anything. He only cares about raising concubines and collecting antiques.

The third is to meddle in the inner palace arbitrarily. People all thought that it was a good thing for Yuanchun to enter the palace, and it was a blessing for Rongguo Mansion to be granted the title of Concubine Xiande. But did you know that Concubine Xiande was granted the title by the Supreme Emperor? Emperor Jingwen was extremely angry about the matter of conferring Concubine Xiande. That is to say, Emperor Jingwen was imprisoned, otherwise it would not have been the Supreme Emperor who ordered the Rongguo Mansion to be raided, but Emperor Jingwen.

Jia Mu's irresponsibility can also be seen from another incident.

From beginning to end, he had no intention of saving Jia Mu.

The premise is that the descendants of the Jia family must have this ability, otherwise even if they are raised to a high position, they will not be able to stand firm, and the final outcome will not be good.

Jia Qiang went to Lin Mansion, but Jia Min did not go to Grand View Garden. In the past two days, she had been worried about Rongguo Mansion and had been waiting for news.

"It should be Emperor Jingwen who did it. He pushed the matter onto Yuan Chun. After silencing him, he can no longer be implicated." Jia Qiang explained softly without any scruples at the moment.

"Brother Qiang, tell me the truth, why did Rongguo Mansion come to this point?" Jia Mu didn't want to leave with doubts. She knew that Jia Qiang was a smart person, so she could only ask Jia Qiang.

This matter is nothing. As he is in the cabinet, as long as it is not a high-level official position, it is all a matter of his words.

"In my opinion, there are several reasons for the decline of Rongguo Mansion. First, the descendants have ruined their families and careers. They only know how to enjoy themselves, but do not know how to plan for the future. They only know how to sit back and waste, and do not know how to be diligent and thrifty in running a household.

I believe that Jia Mu herself didn’t want to live longer, otherwise why would she have become terminally ill in three days? This was because she had no will to live.

You must know that in Daqian, the eldest son is the one who obeys the rules.

There was something he didn't say. The most fundamental reason for the defeat of the huge Rongguo Mansion lay with Jia Mu.

"Yuanyang, Tanchun, come in!" Jia Qiang stood up and said without sadness or joy.

Jia Mu's super-class title is gone, so she can't go too far in the arrangements for her funeral.

Even Mr. Lian, who is somewhat capable of doing things among the younger generation, you actually left him in the house to do chores and never thought of letting him go out to become an official.

Jia Qiang didn't want to mention what happened back then, it was a nightmare.

"I will let the housekeeper take care of the old lady's funeral affairs!" Jia Qiang confessed in a deep voice.

With Yuan Chun's ability, there is no way he can survive in the inner palace. If you sent Yuan Chun into the palace back then, it would only be a matter of time before Rongguo Mansion was defeated.

"Brother Qiang, tell me quickly, has there been a verdict from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" As soon as he saw Jia Qiang, Jia Min asked.

"Old lady really want to hear what I have to say?" Jia Qiang asked with slight hesitation.

From Jia Mu, she broke the rules and was greedy for pleasure. Her children and grandchildren imitated her one by one, and they naturally spent money without any restraint.

In the end, did you know that Yuanchun was dead? It was said that he committed suicide out of fear of crime. Yuanchun had someone poison the Cining Palace, and then the Supreme Emperor raided the Rongguo Mansion! " Jia Qiang softly said everything she thought.

Jia Mu, the ancestor of Rongguo Mansion, enjoyed everything in Rongguo Mansion, but she did not care about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, and she even ignored the ethics and let the second master take care of the house.

Everything, in the final analysis, is Jia Mu's irresponsibility.

There are some things that cannot be said, but since he sensed that Jia Mu's life was short, it didn't matter if he said it.

"I agree to this matter!" Jia Qiang didn't care and nodded in agreement.

"Mother-in-law, the old lady died of serious illness and just left!" Jia Qiang solemnly told Jia Min the bad news.

"You are a fool!" Jia Mu yelled, spitting out a mouthful of blood and losing all breath.

"Old ancestor!" As soon as Yuanyang and Tanchun entered the house, they saw the lifeless Jia Mu, and they couldn't help but burst into tears.

Fourth, he committed many crimes. None of the crimes mentioned in the imperial edict were false. Jia She killed people to seize fans, Wang Xifeng engaged in loan sharking, and engaged in litigation, etc. These things gave the palace clues.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Qiang. I really regret not keeping you back then!" Mother Jia was in good spirits and she kept saying.

The Lai family has been sucking blood in Rongguo Mansion for decades. Could it be that Mother Jia really couldn't see it?
Jia Mu knew it, but she had feelings for Aunt Lai, so she thought it would be okay to give Aunt Lai some benefits.

"What?" Jia Min couldn't help but soften when she heard the news.

In addition, Jia Qiang also needs to inform Jia Min that Jia Min, her daughter, must come over.

Jia Qiang reached out to support her and put Jia Min on the chair.

After a while, Jia Min came back to her senses and cried loudly.

Although she complained about her daughter, she was her own mother. She was extremely sad when she heard that her mother had died.

In fact, when Jia Mu was sent to that house, she wanted to take care of her.

However, Jia's mother's identity at this time was related to the raids on the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Min was Lin Ruhai's wife, and she needed to consider the impact of her actions on Lin Ruhai.

Not everyone is as unscrupulous as Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang has a special relationship with the Supreme Emperor. Even if Jia Qiang does something wrong, the Supreme Emperor will not blame her.

But other officials are different. If they are involved in a major matter such as confiscating their homes, their career will definitely be affected. Jia Min is first of all Lin Ruhai's wife, and secondly Jia Mu's daughter. When she marries into the Lin family, she becomes a member of the Lin family.

"The old lady passed away peacefully. I have arranged for the housekeeper to handle the funeral arrangements for the old lady!" Jia Qiang comforted her.

"Thank you, I'll be there right away!" Jia Min said gratefully.

When it came to the raid on Rong Guo Mansion's house, only Jia Qiang came forward and rescued Tan Chun.

And as far as Jia Min knows, none of the Jia family members in the prison were embarrassed. These were all done by Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang asked four powerful guards to follow Jia Min to prevent Jia Min from having any accidents.

He went to the palace, where he wanted to inform the palace of Jia Mu's death.

Although Jia Mu's imperial edict was taken away, she still had a close relationship with the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, he came to the Daming Palace without any hindrance.

No matter when he came to Daming Palace, he could see the Supreme Emperor without waiting.

"Grandpa Huang, the old lady of the Jia family has died of illness!" Jia Qiang reported to the Supreme Emperor.

"Is he dead?" The Supreme Emperor said lightly with a look of reminiscence on his face.

The Supreme Emperor thought of Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, who had made great contributions with him back then.

"That's all, let's give her a super rank title and bury her as a super rank rank!" The Supreme Emperor shook his head and decided.

"Grandpa Huang, I want to ask for grace for Li Wan, Jia Lan, mother and son of Rongguo Mansion!" Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was soft-hearted, Jia Qiang took this opportunity to say.

"This widowed mother and son have done nothing wrong. Since you asked for mercy, let them come out!" The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said.

To say that Jia Qiang did understand the Supreme Emperor, taking this opportunity to make the Supreme Emperor relax as soon as she opened her mouth.

You must know that the Rongguo Mansion is involved in the Cining Palace poisoning case. Such cases involving the inner palace are usually dealt with strictly and rarely let anyone go.

"My grandson thanks them on their behalf!" Jia Qiang said with a smile.

"Okay, you have a good heart. The Jia family treats you like this, but you are still willing to help!" The Supreme Emperor looked at Jia Qiang and said angrily, but his eyes were full of love.

Jia Qiang came out of Daming Palace and immediately rushed to the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After receiving the Emperor's oral instructions and holding the 'Ping Kou Sword' in his hand, no one from the Metropolitan Procuratorate dared to stop him.

"Open the prison. I am ordered by the Supreme Emperor to take away Li Wan and Jia Lan's mother and son!" Jia Qiang said in a deep voice.

The head of the prison did not dare to neglect or even confirm whether what Jia Qiang said was true, so he quickly opened the door.

The cell leader led the way, and Jia Qiang followed behind.

Jia Qiang saw the Jia family who were imprisoned here. Although the Jia family members were all disheveled, they were all in good spirits.

There is drinking water in the cell, and the food is specially prepared. It is not good, just two pieces of cake, but it is special care in this cell.

Since there was no way to wash in the cell, and he could only sleep on a simple bed, and there were no servants to help him take care of it, his hair and face became unkempt.

"Master Jiahou, are you here to rescue me?" Jia She saw Jia Qiang, grabbed the railing and shouted.

Jia Qiang ignored Jia She. Jia She's voice alarmed the others, and they all looked at Jia Qiang.

"Master Jiahou, please save me!" Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others begged one after another.

"Master Marquis, this is Jia Lan!" the cell leader said, pointing to the boy in a prison cell.

"Jia Lan, come out and follow me!" Jia Qiang watched the cell leader open the door and said to the boy inside.

Jia Lan stood up, cleaned his clothes, walked out of the prison door, and bowed deeply to Jia Qiang.

Jia Qiang couldn't help but nod secretly. Jia Lan was only eight years old, but he was already so mature and prudent. With good training, he would definitely achieve great things in the future.

"Master Marquis, can you rescue my mother?" Jia Lan hesitated for a moment, then insisted.

He was definitely being rescued now, but if Jia Qiang was angered by the request, he might not be able to get out, but he still asked.

"Don't worry, you and your son will go out together!" Jia Qiang smiled and touched Jia Lan's head.

He waved his hand and motioned for the cell leader to lead the way.

The cell leader took Jia Qiang to another place, where the female family members were detained.

The female relatives were very honest, even if they saw Jia Qiang, no one would scream.

Li Wan was taken out of the prison. When she saw her son, she couldn't help but step forward and hug him, fearing that this was just a dream.

"Li Wan, I have begged the Supreme Emperor for mercy, and you and Jia Lan are acquitted!" Jia Qiang said to Li Wan after he took Li Wan and Jia Lan out of the cell.

"Thank you Lord Marquis for saving your life!" Li Wan pulled Jia Lan to kneel down and thanked him.

"Get up, this is the old lady's request before she died!" Jia Qiang couldn't help Li Wan, so she could only explain.

Li Wan took Jia Lan and gave him a grand ceremony. He stood up with tears in his eyes. This was because he had learned the news of Jia's mother's death.

"I have made arrangements for you. Now the house where the old lady holds funerals will be left to you. In it are the books I read back then, the same books I read when I was a Jinshi.

In addition, I will give you two more shops, which are enough for your daily life and study. This is my explanation to the old lady.

Li Wan, please help take care of the old lady's funeral first, and then teach Jia Lan well in that house! "Jia Qiang then told her arrangement.

Li Wan was grateful, what a kindness it was, especially the book in the house, which was a big exam book that could be passed down from generation to generation, but was left to Jia Lan.

No matter what the reason was for Jia Qiang, she wanted Jia Lan to remember this kindness.

Not to mention that Jia Qiang also gave two shops to allow their mother and son to survive.

Although Li Wan's natal family is also a prominent family, if she really had to rely on her natal family, her life would be extremely difficult. It would be better to have a quiet place to cultivate Jia Lan as a talent through Jia Qiang's arrangement.

Jia Lan and Li Wan were taken out by Jia Qiang, which made all Jia Qiang's family members in the prison look forward to it, hoping that Jia Qiang would come again and take them out of the cell. Unfortunately, Jia Qiang never appeared again.
