I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 110 The Jia Family is Fearful
Hearing this, Xue Baochai felt dizzy and she could not help but grab Ying'er's arm tightly to prevent herself from falling to the ground.

Xue Baochai couldn't help asking, "Ying'er, what did you say? What master was arrested?"

Ying'er burst into tears and said, "Miss, just now a few servants who followed the master came back and said that the master was drinking in the Yihong Courtyard, and suddenly a few officers rushed in, grabbed the master and took him away."

"A few servants hurried forward to ask, and only then did they learn that the master had been arrested by Jingzhao Prefecture and was now being held in the Jingzhao Prefecture's prison."

"Miss, the lady fainted after hearing the news. The house is in chaos. Miss, you should go back quickly."

Xue Baochai's face changed drastically when she heard this, but she finally managed to calm herself down, holding Ying'er's arm and standing up, saying, "Let's go back and take a look."

After hearing this, all the girls and Jia Cong followed him to Lixiang Courtyard.

Jia Cong, who was behind, began to think.

This time, Xue Pan was arrested for no reason, which might not be too strange.

Someone must have coveted the Chamber of Commerce's wealth and made a move.

But for someone who can do this, isn’t he afraid of Feng Ziying and the emperor behind him?
Unless this person's power is strong enough to compete with Emperor Yonglong.

The one who comes is not kind.

Ni Er has gone to Nanjing and has not returned yet. No one knows when he will be back.

If Ni Er came back, I wouldn’t be afraid anymore.

Soon, the group arrived at Lixiangyuan.

At this time, Aunt Xue had been rescued and was crying bitterly on the pillow.

Xue Baochai persuaded her for a while, and then said, "Mom, crying is useless now. Why don't you go to the front yard and ask your aunt for help, and ask her to find someone to find out the reason, so that we can rescue your brother."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue calmed down, wiped her tears, washed her face, dressed up, and hurried to the front yard.

On her side, Xue Baochai sent her servants to find out why Xue Pan was arrested.

Not long after, Aunt Xue came back.

His expression was not as panicked as before.

Aunt Xue couldn't help but say, "Precious girl, your aunt said she'll ask someone to help her ask."

"As long as your brother hasn't committed a serious crime like murder or arson, it won't be a big problem."

"As long as I use my connections, I can get your brother out."

"After he comes out, we should ask him to stop being so ostentatious."

The Jia family is a noble family with two dukes, and they have many relatives and friends.

Aunt Xue felt relieved after getting Mrs. Wang's promise.

However, Jia Cong felt that the problem was not that simple.

But at this time, it’s not easy to say much.

The crowd didn't want to stay any longer, so they said a few words of comfort and then got up and said goodbye.

After returning to his own courtyard, Jia Cong gave some instructions and went out with the servant.

This servant boy is also a minor character who has never appeared in the book "Dream of Red Mansions".

He is a loyal and honest person and can be used.

Now Jia Cong has his own carriage when he goes out.

After getting on the carriage, Jia Cong went straight to Feng Mansion.

Feng Ziying is well-informed and must know more than him.

Before reaching Feng Mansion, they met Feng Ziying's carriage on the way.

Jia Cong hurriedly stopped Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying let Jia Cong get on his carriage.

Jia Cong couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, Xue Pan was taken away from Yihong Courtyard. What happened? Why was he taken away?"

Feng Ziying frowned and said, "After I heard the news, I immediately asked someone to find out."

"It turns out that Prince Yi Zhong sent a steward to buy the Xue family's shares in rouge and powder."

"Unexpectedly, Xue Pan didn't recognize the steward of Prince Yi Zhong's mansion and beat him up directly."

"Prince Yizhong was very angry after hearing this, so he ordered someone to investigate the Xue family."

"It was eventually discovered that Xue Pan had killed someone in Jinling, and then the local officials faked his own death to get away with it. Prince Yi Zhong then had his housekeeper take his business card and report it to the Jingzhao Prefecture." "Then the Jingzhao Prefecture sent officers to arrest Xue Pan directly."

"The difficulty now is that, not to mention that Prince Yizhong is behind it."

"It's that Xue Pan got into a murder case in Jinling, and the foolish official in Jinling didn't handle the case properly."

"It's hard to imagine what Xue Pan was thinking when he faked his own death and got away with it. Now that it's been exposed, there's no way to deal with it."

"All I can think of now is to try my best to save his life. As for the rest, there is nothing I can do."

Hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The development of things was exactly as he had expected.

The opponent really took advantage of Xue Pan's weakness.

Xue Pan's flaw was too obvious and too fatal.

It's like a handle left here deliberately.

And this case was handled by Jia Yucun.

But Jia Yucun was not confused. He just did it on purpose for some unknown reason.

Now that Xue Pan has been arrested for this matter, it is indeed difficult to exonerate him.

But it's not completely impossible.

The left and right sides will have a plan when Ni Er comes back.

Judging from the date, Ni Er should be back soon, right?

I just don’t know if the Jia family can help during this period.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong could not help but say to Feng Ziying: "Big Brother, please save Xue Pan's life. I will think of a solution."

Feng Ziying couldn't help but say, "Little Junior Brother, just rest assured. No matter what, he is still our partner. I will not sit idly by and do nothing."

"But this case is indeed difficult to overturn. Junior brother, please do your best and don't be too impulsive."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother. I'll save myself the trouble."

Jia Cong didn’t have any better solution for the time being, so after bidding farewell to Feng Ziying, he returned to the Jia Mansion.

After hearing that Xue Pan was arrested, Mrs. Wang did not neglect her duties after comforting Aunt Xue.

He hurriedly sent people to inquire about the news.

No matter how declining the Jia family is, their students and old friends are still there, and this little bit of human kindness still exists.

Soon, they found out the whole story.

Of course, they did not find out that Xue Pan had beaten Prince Yi Zhong's steward.

All I found out was that Xue Pan was sent in by Prince Yi Zhong's steward.

In other words, Prince Yi Zhong intervened in Xue Pan's case.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Wang suddenly became panicked.

She never expected that the evil creature would actually get into trouble with Prince Yi Zhong's mansion.

Can the Jia family afford to offend the Prince's Mansion?

Don’t let the Jia family be implicated because of the Xue family’s evil son.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang became anxious.

After Jia Zheng got off duty, Mrs. Wang hurriedly told Jia Zheng what had happened.

Jia Zheng was at a loss for a moment and hurriedly asked his grandmother for help.

After hearing this, Jia's mother showed fear on her face.

"Your Highness Prince Yi Zhong, how could my Jia family afford to offend you?"

"The Xue family's kid provoked the old man. It's his own fault. My Jia family is powerless to do anything. Let him fend for himself."

"It is already the way of relatives that we do not sever our relationship with the Xue family and do not drive them out of Rongguo Mansion."
