Chapter 316: Perverting the Law for Personal Gain
Qin Keqing listened to Mrs. Wang's instructions, so she gently pushed Qin Zhong towards Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu happily took Qin Zhong to eat tea inside.
When Jia Baoyu entered the inner room, Mrs. Wang said to Qin Keqing: "Originally, I didn't want to talk to you about this matter, but you are the only capable person in our family, and we can only look for you." ”
"If my mother has something to say, if I can do it, I will do my best." Qin Keqing didn't know what was going on, but Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, and she couldn't refuse, but she didn't dare to agree so much, so she could only say that she would go all out, and leave a living word for what she couldn't do in the future.
Mrs. Wang didn't know how to speak, so she glanced at Wang Xifeng next to her.
Wang Xifeng knew Mrs. Wang's thoughts at a glance, and since she got married, she has been close to Qin Keqing, so she didn't shy away from it, and told Qin Keqing about the cause and effect.
It turned out to be the sister of Mrs. Wang, who lived in Jinling City, Xue Pan, the son of the Xue family's aunt, who relied on wealth and power to kill people, and is now being tried in Yingtianfu, and the case has not been closed until now. Now his uncle Wang Ziteng has a letter and wants to help him, but Wang Ziteng has little contact with the civil official family, so he sent someone to tell this side, on the one hand, he has asked Aunt Xue to bring her son into Beijing, and on the other hand, he has asked Jia Ke to help wipe the case.
In fact, Wang Xifeng still has a lot of things to say that he is embarrassed to say, this Xue Pan is lustful at a young age, and the reason why he killed someone this time is because he robbed a girl with the son of another gentry's family, so it was caused.
As soon as Qin Keqing heard that there was such a thing in the world, she could pay back the death of someone, how could she dare to accept it as a woman?
Since Qin Keqing married into the Wuyang Marquis Mansion, Jia Ke has explained to her that Qin Keqing is in charge of the affairs of the house, and Qin Keqing cannot interfere in the affairs outside. You can't rely on Jia Ke's reputation to hand posts to others.
But this is the first time that Mrs. Wang has asked to come to the door, and it is inconvenient for her to refuse, so she turned her eyes and said: "I don't know the truth about this matter, and I will talk to our lord after I go back, and I want to see that for the sake of relatives, our lord will definitely take action." ”
Although Mrs. Wang did not get a definite answer from Qin Keqing, she didn't dare to be Jia Ke's master if she wanted to come, so she went back and told Jia Ke that he wouldn't refuse if she wanted to.
Although Wang Xifeng next to him is better with Qin Keqing, but seeing that Qin Keqing is so timid, he is also a little proud in his heart, if these things are her, she doesn't need to say hello to the man at home at all, and automatically hand over a post, and she is afraid that the people below will not hurry up and do it, it can be seen that this Qin Keqing, although he has some skills, is still much worse than himself.
So they talked a little more, and then they went their separate ways.
When Qin Keqing just walked out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard gate, Wang Xifeng chased after him.
"Sister-in-law, don't leave in a hurry, I have a few words to say to you." Wang Xifeng took a few maids and hurriedly said to Qin Keqing behind.
Qin Keqing saw Wang Xifeng catching up, so she stopped and said to her with a smile: "You Feng Lazi is so busy that you can't touch the ground every day, why do you have time to chat with me now?" ”
Wang Xifeng didn't say much when he came to Qin Keqing's side, and glanced at the maids behind him, these maids were all clever, and when they saw Wang Xifeng's eyes, they retreated, retreated to the flowerbed next to them and began to stand guard for them.
Qin Keqing was also a little surprised when she saw this formation, but she was also smart, so she glanced at Ruizhu.
Rui Zhu saw Qin Keqing's hint, so he smiled and said to Qin Zhong next to him: "Uncle Qin, otherwise I will take you to the side to take a look, our Rongguo Mansion is notoriously prosperous." ”
Qin Zhong then followed Ruizhu to the garden next to him. And a few other maids also stepped aside.
Qin Keqing smiled at Wang Xifeng and said, "What can you say?" ”
"I have something to discuss with my sister-in-law, the man in our house is also the eldest brother, and he has some skills. Now some people have come to my door with money, and ask my eldest brother to make a statement in some lawsuits, and then it will not be two pennies. Wang Xifeng said to Qin Keqing with a smile, thinking in his heart, he didn't believe that Qin Keqing didn't love silver.
During this period of time, many people have come to beg Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang with a lot of silver, and some small things can be done with Jia Yu and Jia Zheng's posts, but many things cannot be done without Jia Ke's face. Therefore, Wang Xifeng wanted to pull Qin Keqing over, and when the three of them joined forces, they could at least get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year.
Qin Keqing listened to Wang Xifeng's words, her face changed a little, although she has some ability, but she is just the ability of the boudoir, how dare she do such a thing.
Qin Keqing couldn't refuse Wang Xifeng clearly, so he said tactfully: "To make you laugh, I'm not as good as you, all the big things in the family are our master, I can only start and do some small things in the house for him." I'm going to go back and discuss this with my uncle. ”
When Wang Xifeng saw Qin Keqing's attitude, he knew that it was useless to say anything to her, it seemed that this Qin Keqing was still too timid.
When Jia Ke came back that night, Qin Keqing learned Mrs. Wang's words to him, and then carefully explained Wang Xifeng's matter to Jia Ke, and finally blinked his eyes to see how he dealt with it.
After listening to her words, Jia Ke calculated the time, Aunt Xue's family should also enter Beijing, and as for Xue Pan's case, Jia Ke didn't take it to heart. Jia Yucun, the current prefect of Jinling, will soon take office. With his cleverness, this is a small matter.
Besides, in the Dream of Red Mansions, even without him Jia Ke, Jia Yucun didn't do things beautifully in order to tie up with Wang Ziteng. What's more, now that Jia Yucun is his subordinate, he doesn't bother himself, and he doesn't need to be instructed about these little things, so he will naturally do it for himself.
"What should I do, in this way, this Xue Pan is also a lawless, this life-threatening matter, he dares to do it at a young age." Although Jia Ke was able to solve this matter, he had nothing to say about Xue Pan's boldness. Although Jia Ke also went to the battlefield at a young age, he had a golden finger by his side and a bottom in his heart. This Xue Pan is just an imperial businessman, he dares to be so bold, it seems that he is a guy who has no royal law in his heart.
"Then you don't care, you send a letter, and I can go back. Otherwise, the next time we meet, we will have a nose that is not a nose, and a face that is not a face. Qin Keqing rolled to Jia Ke's side and said coquettishly, after all, this was the first time Mrs. Wang begged her, and she had to give a reply no matter what she said.
Jia Ke took Qin Keqing in his arms and said indifferently: "What's so difficult about this? And use me to say hello. The current Jinling prefect Jia Yucun is from my disciple, he is a clever person, this matter must be done for us. ”
Qin Keqing said in disbelief: "This Jia Yucun is so bold, such a big life lawsuit, he dares to erase it." ”
"If you don't believe it, there will be news after a while, and you can see if what I said is right or not." Jia Ke knows everything about Jia Yucun's ruthlessness, let alone this trivial matter. Even if he is asked to kill now, he can come up with a way. In this matter, Jia Ke can be regarded as bending the law for personal gain, and disregarding people's lives. As long as he hints at it, Jia Yucun will definitely judge impartially, and because he doesn't do anything, Jia Yucun will definitely bend the law for personal gain to wipe this matter clean.
Qin Keqing still didn't believe it, and Jia Ke didn't tell her the truth, but just told her: "If you tell me what I said, she will naturally understand the reason." ”
Then Jia Ke thought about Wang Xifeng again, to say that Wang Xifeng's courage is no worse than Xue Pan, in the dream of Red Mansions, most of the last crimes in Jiafu are from Wang Xifeng.
"As for the affairs of Lian's second daughter-in-law, don't interfere, she is bold and lawless, and doing this is just relying on our Jia family to make some money with a bad conscience when our Jia family is now in its heyday, and there is no shortage of this bit of silver in our house, so don't get involved."
Qin Keqing also nodded after listening to Jia Ke's words, she was also a little worried about these things that Wang Xifeng did, it seemed that she made a lot of money every year, but in fact, she didn't know how many people she offended, and in the end, it wasn't Jia Ke who carried it for her.
The next day, Qin Keqing replied Jia Ke's words to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang was old in the accident, and she immediately understood, that is, Jia Yucun was Jia Ke's disciple, and when he went to Jinling to serve as the prefect, then this matter would naturally be settled by him, so he put his mind at ease. As for Wang Xifeng's matter, Qin Keqing didn't reply, but Wang Xifeng, such a smart person, didn't understand, Qin Keqing refused to do so, so when the two met in the future, they didn't mention this matter anymore, and Wang Xifeng himself did nothing there.
And now it is about to be autumn, last autumn when the Tatars did not invade, this is because the year before last was severely injured by Jia Ke, this year Jia Ke got the news from Tang Kuai, Arslen Khan has regrouped, in the steppe to send troops, ready to invade this dynasty again this year.
Originally, there were Manchu Eight Banners in the steppe, and it was not so easy for the Tatars to invade. But how could Jia Ke let his capital be spent on preventing disasters for the emperor, so he had already ordered the Manchu Eight Banners to shrink their men and horses, make a show of weakness, try to get closer to Xuanfu Town, and not conflict with the Tatars.
In fact, not only Jia Ke got the news, but the secret agents of the imperial court were not vegetarians, and a large amount of information was also placed on the desk of the Emperor Taishang and the emperor.
Fortunately, the Emperor Taishang has been the emperor for so many years, and the Tatars have invaded more than a dozen times, and he has survived safely, and he has not panicked too much.
But the emperor was a little frightened, although he said that he was smart, but after all, he grew up in the deep palace, where did he go through the fight from childhood to adulthood? This time, when I heard that the Tatars might invade in the autumn, I panicked.
That night, the emperor summoned his confidants, the other three ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, to discuss the solution in the Dongnuan Pavilion.
The only one of these people who still has some options is Lei Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, so this meeting is mainly Lei Ying's advice.
"Your Majesty, now there is a shortage of food and salary in the nine sides, to put it chillingly, some soldiers can't even fill their stomachs, how can these people contribute to the emperor?" Lei Ying stood impassionedly in the East Warm Pavilion.
"Impossible, the annual food and salary are allocated in full, and I only approved this winter's food and salary in full a few days ago, how can the soldiers not have enough to eat." The emperor was skeptical of Lei Ying's words.
