I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 113 A Real Man Should Do Something and Should Not Do Something
Jia Cong nodded and said, "This case is very easy to overturn. We have the testimony and witnesses. We only need to verify it and we can overturn the verdict."

"But we cannot let officials from Prince Yizhong's faction try this case. If we do, I'm afraid the physical evidence will be destroyed by them. If the witnesses fall into their hands, I'm afraid they will either change their testimony or be silenced."

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "I naturally know all this, don't worry, I have decided to find someone to intercept Kou Xiang on the street and file a complaint, and Kou Xiang will personally try the case."

"Prime Minister Kou is not only powerful, but also upright and honest. He is the most suitable candidate."

Hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face.

He couldn't help but ask: "Big Brother, although Prime Minister Kou has the right status and position, there is no reason for Prime Minister Kou to personally hear such a small case, right?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Under normal circumstances, of course not. But what if someone stops the sedan chair in the street and directly sues Prince Yi Zhong?"

"It is only right for the prime minister to try cases involving the prince."

Hearing this, Jia Cong's mind moved and he suddenly came up with a new plan.

Stop the sedan chair in the street and sue the prince!
Although this move would offend Prince Yi Zhong to death, Jia Cong was an insider and he knew that it would not be long before Prince Yi Zhong committed a crime and was killed.

As Prince Yizhong, the only crime he could commit would be treason.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about being held accountable afterwards when suing Prince Yizhong in the street.

Even after Prince Yizhong rebelled, it would become a merit in his honor.

And if he stopped the sedan chair in the street, sued Prince Yi Zhong, and successfully rescued Xue Pan, the Xue family would definitely be grateful to him.

Speaking of the Jia family, they were afraid of Prince Yi Zhong and did not even dare to use their connections to rescue Xue Pan, for fear of offending Prince Yi Zhong.

How would the Jia family react when they found out that he had sued Prince Yi Zhong?
Is this the best opportunity to leave the Jia family?

It’s like killing two birds with one stone!

The more Jia Cong thought about it, the more excited he became.

After a while, Jia Cong had made up his mind, and he couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, you don't have to look for help."

"Let me stop the sedan chair in the street and sue the prince! I'll write the complaint when I get home, and I'll stop the sedan chair and sue him tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

Feng Ziying was shocked when he heard this and said, "Junior brother, you absolutely cannot do that!"

"A son of a rich family, he would not walk on a dangerous wall, nor sit in a hall, how could he put himself in danger?"

"Prince Yizhong is narrow-minded and vindictive."

"If he knew that you sued him in public, he would definitely take revenge on you afterwards!"

"I will definitely not let you take the risk. I will find someone to sue you!"

Hearing Feng Ziying's words, Jia Cong said righteously: "Big Brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore!"

"Brother Xue was arrested because of the Chamber of Commerce. This was all caused by me. How can I just sit back and do nothing?"

"It would be most appropriate for me to come forward."

Feng Ziying couldn't help but said sternly: "Brother Cong, this is absolutely not allowed!"

"To be honest, although Xue Pan is also my brother, in my heart, Junior Brother and he are different."

"I would rather not be able to rescue Xue Pan than let my junior brother take risks. Please don't talk about this matter anymore. I will arrange for someone else to sue Prince Yi Zhong."

Senior brother is very righteous, but I have to go for this matter!
Jia Cong took a deep breath and said firmly: "Big Brother, I can't always satisfy everyone, but I hope I won't regret it!"

"If I don't do this, I will feel uneasy."

"A real man has his own rules and his own refrains. If you don't agree, I will stop the sedan chair and complain tomorrow morning!"

"That's all I have to say. There is no change!"

Feng Ziying looked at Jia Cong with complicated eyes, which contained both admiration and resentment.

He couldn't help but say, "Junior brother, you have a clear distinction between love and hate. You are truly a man of temperament. Since you have made up your mind, let you go." "But it's too early to file a lawsuit tomorrow. Let's wait until the morning of the day after tomorrow. I still have to make some arrangements tomorrow to ensure that this matter is foolproof."

Jia Cong couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you want to inform Minister Kou in advance?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "You don't understand Prime Minister Kou. If Prime Minister Kou knew the truth, he would definitely not cooperate with us in acting."

"As for Prime Minister Kou, we can just let things take their own course. As for the other aspects, we need to make arrangements in advance."

After listening to this, Jia Cong nodded, and after discussing with Feng Ziying, he said goodbye and left.

After returning to his own courtyard, Jia Cong thought about it and wrote a petition.

After writing the petition, Jia Cong continued reading.

Silent all night.

On the second day, Jia Cong went to Lixiangyuan again.

Lixiang Courtyard had lost its former liveliness. The whole courtyard was dead silent, without a trace of life.

When the little maid saw Jia Cong coming, she hurried in to report.

After a while, he was finally welcomed in.

After seeing Xue Baochai, Jia Cong was shocked.

In just one day, Xue Baochai looked pale and haggard.

It seems that Xue Pan's arrest was a huge blow to her.

Jia Cong hurriedly comforted her, "Sister Bao, just relax, I have found a way."

"By tomorrow, I think I can absolve Brother Xue of his guilt. Sister Bao, you should also persuade Auntie not to make her worry too much."

Tomorrow he will stop the sedan chair and file a complaint, but this matter cannot be told to anyone in advance.

If the news leaks out, it will probably cause more trouble.

However, Xue Baochai did not take Jia Cong's advice to heart.

Even the Jia family is trying to avoid him, so what if Third Brother Cong is such a monster?

After all, he is just a scholar and not even an official. How useful can he be?
Xue Baochai forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Third Brother Cong, for your enlightenment. We, mother and daughter, have finally come to terms with it."

"We are now preparing to sell off our property. We only hope that after spending all our wealth, we can redeem my brother's life. That will be enough for us."

Jia Cong said, "Sister Bao, there is no need to rush in the next one or two days. You may as well wait until after tomorrow to make plans."

"Just wait till tomorrow and we'll know the outcome."

Hearing this, Xue Baochai was startled at first, then said, "Well, I'll listen to Third Brother Cong and wait until tomorrow."

After Jia Cong left, Xue Baochai let out a long sigh.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

After his brother got into trouble, no one from the Jia family came to visit, as if they were afraid that if they got too close to them, they would be suspected by Prince Yi Zhong's Mansion.

I'm afraid they are now hoping that the mother and daughter will move out of the Jia family as soon as possible.

On the contrary, the sisters had visited one after another.

Even the third brother Cong came here today.

However, Jia Baoyu, who usually followed him around, had never come.

Maybe it wasn't that he didn't want to come, but that Mrs. Wang - and now Xue Baochai didn't want to call her aunt anymore in her heart - didn't let him come?
It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed!
