Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　The second sister knelt down in front of Jia Zhen and cried, "Master, I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong!"

　　Jia Zhen snorted coldly: "Reflect on your own in the house! Who will hang it for you? Stupid! Extremely stupid! There are so many women in my Jia Zhen, you are more benzene than them combined!"

　　Seeing this, Keren stepped forward to support Jia Zhen and said, "Master, the second sister was also confused for a while and made an unintentional loss. Would you spare her for a while?"

　　Jia Zhen sighed with anger: "I was wrong! I thought that I would do everything for you, so you wouldn't feel bored, perform your duties, and there would be no disputes. But I didn't expect that not everyone You are as capable and visionary as you and Yindie. Ruo Xian is really not suitable for managing affairs, and she needs others to manage herself!"

　　You Shi advised: "Second sister has learned a lesson after this encounter. I will remind her from time to time. Don't worry, sir!"

　　Next to Qingwen, they also pleaded for mercy.

　　The second sister knelt down and begged: "Master, I will admit you if you want to beat me or punish me, I just ask the master not to drive me out of the house, I will listen to your words, master, and sister's words, and I promise that this will never happen again. It's up!"

　　Jia Zhen looked at Chu's poor second sister, after all, she couldn't bear to drive out like Mrs. You.

　　He pondered for a while, and then said to the second sister, "Give me the gold medal from the steward!" The second sister took out the gold medal from her arms, looked at it reluctantly, and returned it to Jia Zhen.

　　Jia Zhen took the gold medal and said again: "In order to punish you, the monthly rate will be reduced by half from this month. From now on, you don't need to be in charge. Let Bihen follow the lady, Tan Yun follows San'er, and you live with San'er. Let San'er watch closely, I'm also relieved."

　　You Shi exclaimed, "This..." Didn't this reduce her to a maid? "Is it too harsh?"

　　Jia Zhen snorted coldly, "Otherwise you won't have a long memory!" After speaking, she ignored them and walked out with her hands behind her back.When he walked to the door, he still turned around and added, "The punishment period is twenty-four months, to see the aftermath!"

　　……

　　It was only after the Ningguo Mansion was settled down, there were people in the Rongguo Mansion who were enjoying misfortune.Baoyu smiled at Madam Wang and said, "Madam, I heard from the Beijing Palace that Brother Zhen got into trouble this time. If you can't get rid of the guilt, what are you talking about!" Madam Wang asked in surprise.Baoyu told her what she had been told!

　　Mrs. Wang was not as happy as Baoyu, and only told Baoyu not to shout everywhere and know it everywhere.She has begun to understand how important Jia Zhen is to the Rong and Ning Mansion. If he falls, the Rongguo Mansion will not be able to maintain it immediately.She was anxious and asked Zhou Rui's family to go out to inquire.

　　I don't know when, she started to get restless, concerned about Jia Zhen's actions, afraid that he would be bad for Baoyu, afraid that he would be bad for Rongfu, and also afraid that something happened to him, involving Baoyu and hurting Rongfu.The more I think about it, the more uneasy.

　　But Baoyu is not a person who can hide secrets. He wished everyone in the government knew about it!

　　Annoyed, Daiyu said, "My brother is in trouble, what's the benefit to you?"

　　Baoyu smiled and said, "Even though I don't benefit from it, but he was so reckless in the past, someone should be able to take care of him. It's good for him to eat a bite and become wiser."

　　Daiyu said angrily, "Why are you so uneasy and kind? Bah! Your heart is too small! You're still a man!"

　　Baoyu was robbed for a while, and he knew it was too much, so he whispered: "Actually, King Beijing also said that our family has the protection of the mother, and the emperor will not be too embarrassed for him, at most, he will be fined some money!"

　　Daiyu said happily, "Really?"

　　Baoyu smiled and said, "How can what King Beijing said be false? When will my little sister worry about me like she is worried about Brother Zhen, that's fine!"

　　Daiyu said angrily, "It's impossible in this life!" She turned around and left in a hurry, wanting to tell Sister Bao to go.

　　Unexpectedly, just after arriving in Xichun's room, the sisters all arrived.

　　Sister Feng smiled and said, "What day is it today? The east wind is actually blowing?"

　　Xichun asked Daiyu: "But it's for my brother? My sister-in-law sent a letter, nothing happened! Let us rest assured!"

　　Daiyu listened, folded her hands and recited the Buddha, and then spat, "Baoyu lied to me again!"

　　Baochai smiled and came over to hold her: "Do you believe what Baoyu said? I'm afraid he will be happy now!"

　　Li Wan chuckled: "After all, he is still a child, he can't hide his thoughts, how can he understand the relationship?"

　　Daiyu sneered: "Even sister Tanchun can think of it, but he can't? It's really just a fool."

　　Everyone just pretended they didn't hear it, and gradually began to play around.

　　Baoyu listened to their laughter outside, hesitating whether to go in or not.

　　At this time, Mingyan ran over, "Second Master, come to the front hall, Master has something to ask you to ask questions!"

　　As if struck by lightning, Baoyu asked in shock, "Do you know what you are asking me about?"

　　Mingyan panted, "I don't know, I only know that an official from Dali Temple is here and I have a case to ask you."

　　"Case?" Baoyu was extremely puzzled. "How can there be a case for me? Could it be that I can't solve the case? It's ridiculous!"

　　As he thought about it, he walked forward slowly.

Chapter [-]: Jia Baoyu Takes Heavy Responsibilities

　　In the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng and the visiting Dali Temple Zheng Zhang Duan had a very pleasant conversation.

　　Seeing Baoyu's arrival, Jia Zheng hurriedly introduced him to Zhang Duan, "This is the dog, whose name is Baoyu."

　　Zhang Duan twisted his beard and said with a smile: "It really is like a treasure like a jade."

　　Jia Zheng asked, "Dare to ask Master Zhang, why is he here? Where is the dog's help?" He couldn't figure out what was involved.

　　That Zhang Duan smiled slightly and asked, "Where was Young Master at midnight the day before yesterday? Can you tell the next official?"

　　Baoyu was stunned and asked, "Is there anything important the day before yesterday?"

　　There was no smile on Zhang Duan's face, and he only said lightly: "I don't know yet. The son only needs to answer the question from the lower official."

　　Baoyu has some doubts.How can I talk about it in front of my father when I was drinking with a prostitute the day before yesterday?

　　Seeing Baoyu's delay, Jia Zheng patted the table and said, "Why don't you tell Master Zhang the truth?"

　　Baoyu looked at Jia Zheng fearfully, panic flashed in his eyes.

　　"Hurry up!" Jia Zheng urged.

　　Then Baoyu said hesitantly, "The afternoon before yesterday, Qin Zhong and I, as well as Concubine Zhang's younger brother Zhang Wei, were drinking together at Feng Ziying's house. We didn't leave until You Shi."

　　Zhang Duan sneered: "You remember clearly, who else was drinking with you?"

　　Seeing that he was pressing, Baoyu had no choice but to say, "There is also a girl from Jinxiangyuan named Chu Chu." The voice was very low.

　　Jia Zheng listened and frowned. In front of outsiders, he still maintained his demeanor and saved Baoyu some face.

　　Zhang Duan asked, "Young master, do you know what will happen in the future?"

　　"In the future?" Baoyu asked blankly, "What's the matter? After we parted, we went home."

　　Zhang Duan asked back, "are they really going home?"

　　Baoyu replied: "Yes... yes!"

　　Zhang Duan sneered: "Then why did anyone see you leaving with that Zhang Wei and Chu Chu?"

　　Jia Zheng heard the clue, there seemed to be a hidden secret, and hurriedly scolded Baoyu, "What's going on? Why don't you tell me soon!"

　　Baoyu lowered her head and said, "It was Zhang Wei who invited Chu Chu to go back together, I just dropped by."

　　Jia Zheng said to Zhang Duan: "Master Zhang, although I am a wicked son of a bitch, I'm not going to lie in front of me. Dare to ask my lord, what the hell is going on? Can you tell me?"

　　Zhang Duan cupped his hands and said: "Master Jia, it's not that the officials are pressing step by step. In fact, this matter is related to human life, so I have to ask carefully."

　　"Human life?" Jia Zheng stood up in shock, trembling as he spoke: "This... how is this possible?"

　　Zhang Duan said solemnly: "Since Chu Chu and the two of them left, they have not returned to Jinxiangyuan. This morning, they found their bodies abandoned in an empty house."

　　"Ah?" Baoyu was surprised: "How is this possible? When I separated from them, Chu Chu was fine!"

　　Zhang Duan asked, "Young master, do you mean that her death is related to Zhang Wei?"

　　Baoyu nodded hesitantly. "You should ask him!"

　　Zhang Duan snorted coldly and said, "I have already arraigned Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei said that Chu Chu abandoned him because he couldn't agree on the price, and saw him chasing after you from a distance."

　　"What!" Jia Zheng was trembling with anger, "You rebel! Rebel!"

　　Baoyu hurriedly defended: "Master Mingjian, I really don't know how they separated, and Chu Chu didn't catch up with me. As for how she died, it has nothing to do with me!"

　　Zhang Duan said again: "Chuchu is wearing a red sweat towel. After identification, it is the son of the son. How do you explain it?"

　　Jia Zheng slapped the table heavily: "Damn beast, speak up!"

　　Baoyu also panicked at this moment, "What sweat towel? I never gave her away!"

　　With a smile, Zhang Duan took out a big red sweat towel from the bundle of his entourage. "Young Master, can you recognize this thing?"

　　Baoyu was surprised: "I gave this to Zhao Jingchen, how could it be on her?"

　　Zhang Duan asked with a smile: "I will verify at Zhao Jingchen. After the inspection, Chu Chu died within an hour after you separated the day before yesterday. We have verified at Zhang Wei, and he did not have time to commit the crime. Dare to ask, whether the son is in a Go home within the hour? Is there any evidence?"

　　Baoyu didn't dare to answer. He didn't go home that day, but went to Meiren instead.But unfortunately, they went to the wrong place and returned home after a circle.Except for the young servant Mingyan who followed, no one confirmed it.

　　This time, trouble!

　　Baoyu was so frightened that sweat dripped on her forehead, and said, "Sir, I really didn't kill anyone! Why did I kill her?"

　　Zhang Duo nodded: "Young master, I know a little about your reputation. It's hard for me to believe that someone like you would kill women. That's why I came to the door specifically to ask, otherwise, I would arrest the son with a single official document. case."

　　Jia Zheng didn't bother to scold Baoyu at this time, and only explained to Zhang Duan: "Your Excellency, it is impossible for a dog to kill a dog! Usually he is afraid of killing a chicken. How could he hurt someone's life?"

　　Zhang Duan smiled at Jia Zheng and said, "Master Jia is worry-free, as long as you make what your son said is true, and the subordinate officials have carefully verified it, he will also make his son clean."

　　Jia Zheng squeezed out a little smile and bowed his head: "Please sir Zhang!"

　　Zhang Duan then stood up and delayed: "This is all within the rank of the official! Today, I will not bring the son back to the Dali Temple, but before the case is closed, please ask the son not to walk around to ensure that the Dali Temple can find you. ." After saying that, hand in hand and say goodbye.

　　Jia Zheng carefully escorted Zhang Duan out, and when he came back, seeing Baoyu still standing in the hall, he kicked him down with one kick, and said angrily, "You uneducated beast! How can I have such a traitor as you! Come on! Someone! Bind me up and beat me to death!"

　　The servants on the left and right immediately pressed Baoyu on the bench, and started to fight.

　　The scavenger next to him was smart, and hurriedly reported to the inside, "Master has beaten Baoyu!"

　　He stepped forward and persuaded: "Master, how can the second master be a murderer? The so-called son Mo Ruofu, if the master doesn't believe it first, then the second master will become a murderer even if he didn't kill."

　　"Yeah! Just now, Master Zhang of Dali Temple also said that he didn't believe it was the second master's fault. The truth will be revealed in a few days."

　　"At that time, the real murderer is someone else, but the master broke the second master in vain. Wouldn't he have wronged him? How can the old lady and the wife bear it?"

　　Jia Zheng shouted: "None of you should persuade me today, how can I not know that he will not commit crimes? But he is ignorant and ignorant all day long, and he spends his days hanging out with some scoundrels and prostitutes. It's time to implicate my parents and family members, so it's better to kill them now, so as not to harm others!"

　　He pointed at the servants on both sides, "Hit me hard!"

　　The servants didn't dare to be merciful, and started a little harder.

　　Baoyu immediately screamed, "Master, it's really not me, it has nothing to do with me! Then I have seen Chu Chu once!"

　　Jia Zheng said angrily: "How did I teach you in the past, you are actually acting like a prostitute! If you could listen to me, how could there be today's disaster!"

　　Baoyu shouted: "This must have wronged me!"

Jia Zheng ignored people's dissuasion, and only asked people to beat him hard.

　　Soon, the old lady and Mrs. Wang arrived together.While crying, Madam Wang rushed to Baoyu's side, "My son!" The servant did not dare to fight again, and quietly retreated to the side.
