Chapter 376 Jia Heng: Big sister thinks I did something wrong?
Zhongshun Palace
It was the young year, and the Zhongshun Prince's Mansion also began to decorate with lights and festoons. Servants went in and out between the eaves, beams and pillars, hanging red curtains, busy.
On the attic in the backyard, King Zhongshun was lying on the bed sideways, listening to the voices on the stage not far away, feeling somewhat irritable.
The faint pain from his butt reminded King Zhongshun all the time, how humiliating was the assassination earlier?
Just when King Zhongshun was secretly hating, Zhou Changshi entered the wing room, approached him, and said in a low voice, "My lord."
King Zhongshun gave a "hmm" and looked at Zhou Changshi.
Zhou Changshi's voice was obviously a little happy: "My lord, I asked Jia Heng to pay attention to the mistakes and omissions earlier, and there are already signs."
King Zhongshun was surprised and delighted when he heard the words, and asked anxiously, "What did you find out?"
Zhou Changshi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, according to those shopkeepers surnamed Yang who were expelled by the Xue family, Xue Pan, the young master of the Xue family, once competed with a scholar from a small township eunuch in Jinling Mansion to buy a maidservant before he went to Beijing. He beat someone to death, and Jia Yucun, the governor of Jinling Prefecture at the time, helped to trick Xue Pan into feigning death, and now he is hiding in Jia's house."
When Xue Pan went to Beijing, he beat someone to death because he was vying to buy a maidservant. Even the servants of the Rongguo Mansion knew about it, let alone concealed it from others?
As soon as someone with a heart inquires about it, they can know the root of it.
After hearing this, King Zhongshun was overjoyed, but he frowned for a moment and said: "Although the Xue family is the in-laws of the Jia family, it can't shake that little Jia Heng, right?"
Zhou Changshi laughed darkly: "Your Majesty, this remark is wrong. I think Jiayu Village, the Yin of Jinling Mansion borrowed from the Jia Mansion's doorway to get back. How is it different from the Jia Mansion's disciples? Think Jia Heng is from the Jia family. Patriarch, hiding the murderer, how can this be unreasonable? Besides, Jia Heng is in the limelight and stands out from the crowd, and people must be wrong. If this case is exposed, even if it is not his fault, it will be his fault."
King Zhongshun thought about it, and the more he listened, the more reasonable he nodded, and said, "Zhou Changshi's words are reasonable, my son Jia Heng, I don't know how many people can't understand him, if you put the case of the Xue family on Jia Heng's son, Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to clean himself up."
Zhou Changshi said: "Take a step back, even if you can't touch Jia Heng, you can still vent your anger on the prince."
King Zhongshun sneered and said, "This king is also of the same opinion. In the name of virtue, I can't see such treacherous and loyal courtiers running rampant."
Zhou Changshi said: "My lord, why don't we send someone to find the censor to prosecute this case now?"
King Zhongshun was about to agree, but suddenly he frowned, shook his head and said, "No, wait for a while, it won't be too late to start after this year, the palace issued an order the day before yesterday, and there was already a warning to Gu, so urgent It is hard to get any effect if we try to expose this matter.”
He figured it out. It wasn't that he had impeached him with insufficient reasons, but that he chose the wrong time and didn't guess the holy will.
Jia Heng's son had just quelled Prince Teng's incident, and he was the most capable and loyal person in the palace's opinion. If he went to the censor to impeach Jia Heng, he was incompetent and half-hearted. How could the palace believe it?
It is necessary to avoid its edge.
As he said that, he said again: "You have people pay close attention to the Xue family and the Jia family, especially Jia Heng. The more involved he is, the better."
"Don't worry, my lord, there are people from us in Rongfu." Zhou Changshi said in a low voice.
King Zhongshun said solemnly: "Pay attention to concealment, and be careful not to expose it. This little Jia Heng will rectify the Ningrong Second Mansion."
King Zhongshun, who regards the Ningrong Second Mansion as his old enemy, laid a nail in the Ningrong Second Mansion a long time ago and helped to find out the news. However, some of Rongfu's eyeliner was retained.
Zhou Changshi said: "My lord, don't worry."
King Zhongshun sneered, and said: "This time, let's not talk about moving Jia Heng's son down, let him taste what a thousand people point out."
Previously he encouraged people to impeach Jia Heng, but now thinking about it, the traces are too heavy, it can be seen by the palace at a glance, and the people in the court can also see it at a glance.
But the case of the Xue family is different, it is not his family who dislike Jia Heng!
Just when King Zhongshun was full of ambitions, suddenly the servant girl outside reported, saying: "My lord, the little lord is back."
King Zhongshun frowned and said, "Rui'er? Let him in."
Ever since Chen Rui was put together by Wucheng soldiers and horses, he also wanted to find his way back and kept staring at Jia Heng.
Chen Rui entered the room, first saluted King Zhongshun respectfully, and then couldn't hide his joy: "Father, my son just got a piece of news about Jia Heng."
King Zhongshun glanced at Chen Rui, frowned and asked, "What news?"
Chen Rui said with a smile: "Jia Heng just went to Dali Temple, and heard that he brought the young master of the Xue family to surrender. Do you think this is interesting? It is here to kill relatives righteously."
When it came to the end, the tone was somewhat gloating.
King Zhongshun: "???"
Zhou Changshi frowned, and asked anxiously, "Little prince, what's going on?"
Seeing his father's pale face, Zhou Changshi's eyes became anxious, and Chen Rui gradually realized what was wrong, and said: "Father, I just met the nephew of Dali Temple Qing Wang Shu's nephew, I heard about it, This Jia Heng is too stupid, what is this kind of thing in a family like us?"
"Shut up, idiot!" King Zhongshun snorted, his face turned blue and red, and he was so depressed that he almost wanted to vomit blood.
After finally finding the children's mistakes and omissions, they were quickly filled in by the children.
Is Jia Heng's child a hedgehog?Can't get out of your mouth at all?
Chen Rui was reprimanded, his face was pale, and his eyebrows were lowered.
He originally wanted to say good news to make his father happy, why is his father so annoyed?
Zhou Changshi frowned, and said in a low voice: "My lord, what should we do now? Do you want to find some censors and take the opportunity to make trouble?"
King Zhongshun took a deep breath, and said coldly: "It's over. I'll impeach him, but help him to make a name for himself. Let's just let it go and think of other tricks."
Zhou Changshi nodded, sighed, secretly thinking it was a pity.
Not to mention that King Zhongshun’s plan of impeachment collapsed, but he said that Jia Heng led Xue Pan to receive fifty sticks at the Dali Temple, and then greeted the Chancellor of Dali Temple, saying that he would serve his sentence in the spring of next year.
Because Emperor Chongping's sentence was to be punished with hard labor, Xue Pan could not be beaten to death, or his sores were not cured, and he was allowed to die of serious illness. Therefore, Dali Temple did not make it difficult.
Rongguofu, Lixiangyuan
The house was full of people, Jia Mu, Li Wan, and Sister Feng were still persuading Aunt Xue, and Baochai was also persuading in a low voice.
"Old lady, madam, Master Heng is back."
At this moment, a woman ran into the hall and shouted.
Aunt Xue was sobbing and wiping her tears, when she heard the words, she was shocked suddenly, and said anxiously, "Pan'er, where is my Pan'er?"
With that said, he got up and hurried out.
At this moment, Jia Heng had ordered the servant to lift Xue Pan, who was beaten to pieces, from the carriage.
At this moment, Xue Pan was lying on a wooden board, motionless.
"My son... what's the matter with you, this is... don't scare your mother." When Aunt Xue saw that Xue Pan was almost dead, she burst into tears and rushed forward.
"Mom." At this moment, Xue Pan raised his head, his forehead was covered with sweat, and called out weakly.
Jia Heng explained: "Wenlong suffered some skin trauma, but it's not a serious problem. Seeking a doctor to help apply the golden medicine, after a month of training, he can walk on the ground."
The executioners of Dali Temple still have a sense of proportion in their hands. The boards basically fall on their buttocks. The first thirty sticks are also lifted high and put down gently, and the next twenty sticks are slightly heavier. , without hurting the bones and killing people.
Aunt Xue had tears in her eyes at this moment, she looked at the tall and straight boy in the python suit, her heart was complicated for a moment,
If there is no resentment in my heart, how can it be possible?
But at this time, he dared not say anything.
Jia Heng said: "Auntie, carry Wenlong into the house, ask a doctor to prescribe medicine, and take good care of him."
Aunt Xue nodded with tears in her eyes, and ordered the servants to carry Xue Pan into the wing room. For a while, the servants invited the doctor, invited the doctor, and fetched hot water, and they were busy inside and out.
In the courtyard, only Jia Mu, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Jia Zheng and Yuan Chun were left.
Jia Mu asked, "Brother Heng, how did this happen?"
Jia Heng said: "Old lady, Wen Long's case should have been settled a long time ago. If you keep procrastinating, it will be made a fuss by someone with a heart. If you are reported by others and the public is raging, no one will be able to save Wen Long. "
Jiamu opened her mouth, finally sighed, and said, "You know what you know."
Jia Heng said: "Old lady, although our family is a family of good deeds, it is inevitable that some clansmen rely on power outside and bully men and women. This matter can be regarded as a wake-up call. You need to know that human life is at stake. In the former Han Dynasty, the elder sister of Emperor Wu Princess Longli once atoned for the death penalty for her son Zhaoping Jun. Zhaoping Jun was arrogant and indulgent. After drunk, he killed his wife, Princess Yi'an's female official, and was beheaded by Emperor Wu in accordance with the law. We are waiting for the prince's family."
In the original book of the Red Chamber, the Rongguo Mansion had two cases where people were killed. One was that after Sister Feng used Zhang Hua, she tried to send someone to silence her.
It's interesting to say that even Mrs. Wang, who speaks like a Buddha and has a snake heart, has never been so ruthless, she just drove away Jin Chuan.
Jia Zhengchang sighed, and said, "What Ziyu said is true. Human life is at stake. Pan'er's case has been dealt with like this. Everyone is very happy."
Yuan Chun looked at the young man with a calm face, listening to the young man telling the story of history sincerely, a strange color surged in his crystal clear eyes.
Sister Feng's Guazi had a thoughtful look on her face.
Jia Heng said: "For Wenlong's business, let's go here first. It's getting late, and it's almost noon. The old lady and the second master go to Dongfu for dinner first."
Today was supposed to be the family's New Year's Eve banquet, but something like Xue Pan happened in the middle, but it was delayed.
Mother Jia sighed, and said, "Girl Feng, stay here and see what my aunt has to tell you. The others follow me to the East Mansion first."
Sister Feng responded and said nothing else.
Yuan Chun glanced at Jia Heng, somewhat worried, and said softly, "Old Ancestor, I'll stay and see."
Mother Jia nodded and agreed.
Wait for Jia Mu to leave with Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng.
Yuan Chun wanted to speak but stopped: "Brother Heng."
But Jia Heng cut off the conversation and said, "Big sister, go in and see Auntie and Wenlong."
Entering the wing room and sitting in the hall, Aunt Xue sighed, and Baochai had tears on her face.
Because the young man wanted to help Xue Pan remove the bloody clothes, the two mothers could only sit and wait in the hall.
Sitting beside Aunt Xue, Sister Feng spoke comforting words.
And Yuan Chun came to Baochai's side and talked with him. Baochai bowed his head to answer, but occasionally looked at the young man with a pair of bright and melancholy eyes.
Aunt Xue raised her eyes to look at Jia Heng, and said sadly: "Brother Heng, Wen Long is like this, can he still live in prison?"
Seeing the injury just now, it almost broke my heart.
Jia Heng said: "Wait until Wenlong recovers from his injuries, we still have to go."
Aunt Xue sighed and said sadly: "Brother Heng, I will leave Pan'er to you."
Now, what else can she say?
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie."
At this time, the servant girl said: "Madam, the doctor is here."
Aunt Xue hurriedly got up to greet her, and ordered the doctor to welcome him into the inner room and help Xue Pan to dispense the medicine.
The mother and daughter couldn't go in for a while, so they could only wait outside.
After a while, the doctor carried the medicine box and said: "Uncle Xue just suffered some skin trauma, and he took Jinchuang medicine, decocted a few more medicines, and he will be fine after a month of recuperation."
Aunt Xue recited Buddha's name in her mouth, wept with joy, "Thank God."
He hurriedly ordered someone to pay the Langzhong money and send him away.
Seeing this, Jia Heng didn't stay any longer, got up and said: "Auntie, since Wenlong is fine, let Wenlong take a good rest first, I'll go back first."
Aunt Xue nodded, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Heng, it's a young year, and there are still so many clansmen waiting for you in the East Mansion, so go get busy."
As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Chun and Sister Feng at the side, and said, "Girl Feng, big girl, you should go and do your work too."
Sister Feng said softly: "It's okay, I will sit with my aunt for a while."
Yuan Chun took Baochai's hand and said softly, "Sister, I'll go first."
Baochai responded, and stared at the young man again, with watery apricot eyes that seemed to have a thousand words to say.
Jia Heng took a deep look at Baochai, just nodded, without saying anything else, and left Lixiangyuan with Yuanchun Shi Shiran.
After leaving Lixiangyuan, on the verandah of the flower wall, Yuan Chun pursed his pink lips, and said softly: "Brother Heng, I..."
Hearing this, Jia Heng stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Yuan Chun, and said softly, "Big sister, do you seem to have something to say to me?"
Yuan Chun's beautiful eyes reflected that Qingjun face, but he didn't know how to speak, and murmured: "Brother Heng, you..."
Jia Heng asked: "Big sister thinks I did something wrong?"
Yuan Chun's jade face changed suddenly, he quickly shook his head and said, "Brother Heng, you did nothing wrong."
As she said that, the girl took a step forward with firm eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, if I were you, I would do the same."
Hearing this, Jia Heng couldn't help but smile when she saw the girl with a plump, white and greasy face full of seriousness.
Yuan Chun was laughed so hard that his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that in his desperation, he was only a few feet away from the boy in front of him.
Because of the cold weather in winter, all the breaths he exhaled fell on the other party's face, lips, and neck. Thinking of this, he felt ashamed and anxious, and quickly turned his head away, and moved away in small steps.
Jia Heng said: "Eldest sister, don't worry about me. The future will be long. Although my aunt can't think about it for a while, she will always figure it out. As for the clan, I have always been like this. What do I need when others slander and praise me?"
Aunt Xue's gratitude was the same as her resentment, and he didn't care.
But Yuan Chun's performance was somewhat beyond his expectations. Regarding Xue Pan's matter, he still wanted to take care of his emotions and be intimate with his big sister, but that's all.
Thinking of this, I looked at the girl who turned her head and stared silently. The girl was wearing a red and white peony dress with double-breasted embroidery, a small flower hairpin with pearls and diamonds on her head, and a slender and white neck with a string of flowers hanging on her neck. Pearl necklace, and crescent moon earrings on the earlobes. Compared with the gentle and elegant makeup in the past, today's makeup is a little more youthful, charming, cute and playful.
Maybe it's because of Chinese New Year.
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, moved a little closer to the ear, and whispered: "However, I still have to thank big sister."
Yuan Chun's tender body trembled, "Teng"'s face was flushed red, Gain, bursts of hot air faintly hit the ears and neck, and felt a tingling sensation, half of his body was soft.
And the soft words, more like every word moistens the bottom of my heart.
"En." Yuan Chun responded softly.
Seeing Yuan Chun's scene, Jia Heng's gaze was a bit darker. He faintly noticed some signs, thought it was an illusion, and verified it a little...
