Chapter 434: Jia's Response
"Zihou, you are here.
A smile broke out on Wang Ziteng's face and he called Liu Fang by name.
Liu Fang was silent, with a look of struggle on her expression.
However, after much hesitation, he took a deep breath and decided to launch an attack to investigate.
The Liu family continues to this day, although it is not as good as the Jia family, which produced a noble concubine, but the former Duke also married a royal family and married a princess of the late emperor.
Liu Fang is the eldest son of this princess. From a certain point of view, he can also be regarded as a relative of the emperor.
But now, a direct descendant of the Liu family got into a fight with Jia Baoyu and died out of jealousy, which has become a topic of conversation among the people in the capital.
It is conceivable that if this matter is not saved, it will be difficult for the Liu family to hold their heads high in the capital.
"Don't be anxious, Zihou. A certain family knows the cause and effect." Wang Ziteng quickly comforted him after hearing what Liu Fang said.
However, for him, this matter is really a headache.
Different from the decline of the Jia family in the original book, after the prince rose to power, although he became the leader of martial arts in the capital, after Jia Yuanchun became a noble concubine, the status of the Jia family also skyrocketed, and they almost didn't have to do anything. The prince jumped up.
From this we can see why nobles, big and small, intend to send their daughters to the palace.
Because once the emperor gives birth to a dragon son and a dragon girl, the whole family will ascend to heaven!
Back to Jia Baoyu.
This is strange to say.
How could Wang Ziteng not know who his nephew was?
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a useless scholar. How could he beat the Liu family's second son to death?
But everyone knew that the heir of the Liu family died after a fight with Jia Baoyu in the wine shop.
Because of this, this big hat was placed on Jia Baoyu's head.
"This matter will definitely be investigated by Dali Temple and justice will be given to Zihou's brother!" Wang Ziteng pretended to be righteous.
When Liu Fang saw Wang Ziteng's statement, she gave up.
As for the person responsible for this matter, Jia Baoyu, he is currently huddled in Jia Mu's arms, shivering.
Mother Jia also looked distressed and stroked Jia Baoyu's head.
Logically speaking, this scene should be a heartwarming scene between grandmother and grandson.
But now that Jia Baoyu is almost fifteen years old, if he still behaves like this, it will make people feel numb.
Although the maids and maids in Jia Mu's room had long been accustomed to it, when Wang Xifeng saw this, her pretty face froze, and she secretly cursed that Jia Baoyu was really loved by Jia Mu.
"Brother Bao, I heard what Mrs. Lai said." Yingchun, one of the three springs, hesitated to speak, and cautiously asked about the matter.
But before Jia Baoyu could say anything, Jia's mother scolded angrily: "Yingchun, don't listen to your nonsense. How could your brother Bao hurt someone's life?"
When Yingchun heard this, she immediately stopped talking. Only the Lai family servant who was named showed a hint of fear on her face.
The old woman obviously didn't expect that Miss Yingchun would overhear her chatting with other servants.
As for Jia She, the eldest master of Rongguo Mansion, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about this matter.
Only no one saw a hint of schadenfreude deep in his eyes.
There are two masters in Rongguo Mansion, one is Jia She and the other is Jia Zheng.
Jia She was originally the eldest son, but in the original book, he lived in a side courtyard. Instead, his second wife, Jia Zheng, lived in the main house.
The reasons are not obvious to outsiders.
In other words, Jia She had resentment in his heart over the years, but he did not dare to express it.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is due to Jia Mu's partiality.
also.
Jia Zheng was promoted to a local official and had a daughter who was a concubine to support him in the palace, which made Jia She extremely envious.
What about him?
Because he received money from the Xue family, Jia Yucun was given a lighter sentence in the murder case in order to allow Xue Pan to escape the disaster.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng interfered, causing His Majesty to know about it.
As the mastermind, Jia Yucun was dismissed from his post as magistrate and demoted to a civilian for doing such favoritism and bending the law.
Fortunately, Jia Yucun didn't reveal his backer, so Jia She didn't suffer any consequences.
Even so, during this period of time, Jia Enhou himself kept a low profile to deceive others.
If you suffer a loss, you will naturally not see good things from your enemy.
So Jia She was naturally very happy when she learned about Jia Baoyu.
"If nephew Bao's matter becomes a big deal, I'm afraid brother Daizheng will also be in trouble."
After all, Jia Zhengcai had become a model of incorruptibility in the eyes of Li Tang's literati by relying on justice to eliminate relatives.
Now that his son has committed a crime, what should he do?
When Mrs. Wang heard Jia She's somewhat malicious words, her eyebrows raised slightly.
Although she is not as interested in Jia Baoyu as she used to be, the latter is still her son.
If Jia Zheng is implicated, as Jia She said, there may be big trouble.
You know, the people who serve as the front of Jia's house now are Jia Zheng, who is working in the south of the Yangtze River, and Jia Yuanchun in the palace.
Wang Xifeng looked at the excitement and did not forget to interject: "In that case, why not write to uncle and ask him to return to Beijing to make the decision?"
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he trembled with fright.
The person he fears most is naturally Jia Zheng.
According to Jia Zheng's temperament, knowing that he beat someone to death because of jealousy over a male actor, and caused such a big mess in the Jia family, I'm afraid he will be beaten to death in the name of family law!
Looking at Jia Baoyu's pale face, Mrs. Wang knew what he was thinking, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's too late."
As the saying goes, water from afar cannot quench thirst from near.
Jia Zhengyuan is in Jiangnan, and it will take half a month just to send the letter.
Back and forth, almost for several months.
By then, the day lilies will have rested.
Just when everyone in the Jia family was discussing countermeasures for Jia Baoyu's matter, they heard the servants of the Jia family hurriedly report: "Old lady, master, Mr. Lin is here."
Hearing that Lin Ruhai came to the door, the sorrow on Jia's mother's face disappeared.
It was not because her son-in-law came to the door, but simply because Jia's mother felt that Lin Ruhai could help Jia Baoyu solve this troublesome matter.
After Lin Ruhai was transferred back to the capital, his official positions were successively promoted.
From the original fifth-rank salt inspector, he was first promoted to the fourth-rank right deputy inspector of the Censorate, and then two months later, he was promoted to the cabinet scholar and became the emperor's confidant.
You must know that when Li Zhao ascended the throne, he specially set up a cabinet to ensure that he could gather power.
The power of the cabinet scholar is no less than that of the prime minister of the previous dynasty!
Anyone can see that as long as Li Zhao is in power, Lin Ruhai will be in a high position.
In addition, after all, there are few men in the Jia family who can take charge.
Let Jia She handle this matter?
It would be better to send Jia Baoyu to the Dali Temple for trial.
Jia Mu, the head of the family, is just a woman after all, and cannot stand up in front of major issues.
So when Jia Mu learned that Lin Ruhai came to visit, she was overjoyed.
As for Jia Baoyu, he was also happy. He was happy that he had the opportunity to meet Sister Lin!
So much so that he even forgot about the fact that he was carrying a life.
However.
When Lin Ruhai brought his precious daughter into Jia Mu's inner hall, a trace of unpleasantness flashed in his eyes.
