At the door of Zhen's house.

Master Jia was on crutches, looking forward to it, his face full of eagerness.

Early in the morning, the prefect of Jinling detained Jia San, but Master Jia couldn't, so he went to find the closer Wang family and Shi family.

How dare these two families participate in these, the master of the family is not sick and has not seen guests.

Master Jia couldn't, so he could only come to his in-law Zhen's house with a thick face.

It's just the so-called in-law relationship between the two families, with the removal of the eldest son and second son by Master Lijia in March, the Zhen family forced their daughter to ask for a dowry, which completely torn their faces, and they had already broken off their relatives.

You must know that the removal was not only that Jia Yan and Jia Yuan brothers became rootless duckweed, but Jia Yan's wife Zhen protected her husband and gave birth to a baby boy.

That's the nephew of the Zhen family, how can the Zhen family not hate?

Even the gatehouse is here, and he also knows the grievances of the two families, and treats them as raw guests, and lets Master Jia wait outside, instead of letting him go to the yard.

Uncle Zhen came out slowly, looked at Master Jia and was surprised: "Isn't this Master Jia?" Is the sun coming out of the west? As he spoke, he looked to the west.

He originally thought that this dead old man would rely on the old and sell the old, and let Jia Yan and Jia Yuan return to the clan again by virtue of his fatherhood, but he didn't expect the old man to be blinded by lard, and he went to the dark alley, and refused to put down the shelf and reconcile with his son.

The Zhen family is desperate for this.

If the brothers of the Jia family do not return to the Jia family, it is the Zhen family who relies on support.

The Zhen family did not climb the Taiwei Mansion for a while, but the Jia brothers directly became the generals under the command of the Taiwei.

Now that the yamen has moved Jia San, who was raised by his stepmother, this Jia master knows that he is distressed, and it really confirms the sentence, if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

"My nephew...... Those two little brutes ......"

Master Jia just didn't hear Uncle Zhen's ridicule and said.

Uncle Zhen's face immediately pulled down: "Didn't Master Jia admit his mistake?" Zhen doesn't know when he married the Jia family? As for whether your Jia family lost their mules or horses, there is no reason to go to the Zhen family to find animals! ”

After that, he ignored Master Jia, turned around and entered the door, and did not instruct the porter: "Splash the ground with clean water, the door of the province is unlucky!" ”

Old Man Jia trembled angrily, but there was no way to think about it, so he could only get into the carriage with his body bent.

"Master, where are you going?" The coachman asked cautiously.

I came out early in the morning and walked three houses, but I didn't go in one door, and the coachman also noticed that something was wrong.

Master Jia looked around blankly, but there was nowhere to go, no one to ask for.

"Go to the Yamen of the Jinling Prefect!"

Master Jia gritted his teeth and said.

The new prefect Song Lin, who studied in Jinling as a teenager, is a distant relative or a classmate of Jia Yan and Jia Yuan's uncle, and he is also a person in the same year, and he has a very good friendship.

It's just that one later entered Beijing as an official, and the other died early in the prime of life.

The two families are moving around, and Song Lin and the Jia family are not all in contact.

It's just that with the death of Master Jia's wife, his wife entered the door, far away from the Yue family in front, and there was no movement towards the cousins of the Yue family.

A few days ago, the prefect's yamen cleaned up the previous officials, and the Jia family has been worried.

Whoever makes Jia San a clerk is still a small official.

Later, seeing that there was no movement, Master Jia came forward as if it was his two sons to smooth out the matter.

It's not that he wasn't untouched in his heart, but under his wife's muttering, he changed from appreciative to unappreciative, and only when the two rebels were afraid of being involved, they came out of the fabric.

Parents who are all over the world, when their son doesn't bow his head, do you want him to bow his head?

Master Jia held his breath and walked the road of the Wang family, wanting to rely on his daughter, who was beautiful and beautiful, to cross the two sons and climb up with the Taiwei Mansion.

But the Wang family itself has girls of the right age, how to do their best, but it is perfunctory.

Master Jia jumped up and down, but he made himself a joke among the gentry of Jinling City.

Who would have thought that the prefect's yamen would now bring up the old things again.

……

When he arrived at the gate of the prefect's yamen, Master Jia didn't dare to hold it up, so he got out of the car and handed over the worship post in person.

He also donated to the prison students, and he brought fame and fame.

Menzi accepted the "door respect", pointed to the bench in the gatehouse, and reported it unhurriedly.

An old prisoner is still in the eyes of the disciples.

Song Lin took the post, glanced at it, threw it aside, and said: "No, after a few words, tell him that the yamen will open in three days to try Jia Yu's lawlessness during his tenure as an official!" ”

Menzi answered.

Song Lin sneered and began to look at other official duties.

The weaving mill had to be requisitioned, but it could not be the government begging the gentry.

As a member of the gentry, Song Lin knew their inferior roots the most, and was used to "kicking his nose in the face".

With Jia Yuan's case, it is just right to take down the two large weaving factories of the Jia family.

As for the three families of Zhen, Shi, and Wang, it depends on whether the family members are smart or not.

These families are big families, and if they really want to liquidate the old officials, how can they completely get rid of it?

It's just because there are the Jia brothers and Shi Jin behind the Zhen and Shi families, and the Wang family and the Wang County Lieutenant who dedicated the city, so they are just giving face.

Right now, killing chickens and monkeys.

Nothing more.

When Master Jia came home, he brought despair.

Mrs. Jia's eyes were swollen into walnuts, and she was pinching her younger son there: "Go quickly, go to your eldest brother and second brother for help...... Do you really want to watch your third brother die? ”

Jia Si rubbed his arm and frowned: "It's unreasonable for my mother, it's the third brother who committed the crime himself, can the eldest brother and the second brother still meddle in the affairs of the yamen?" ”

"If you don't go, I'll go...... I go and kneel down for them, kowtow to them, what resentment is coming at me, why is it against your third brother? Although you are not born to a mother, but you are the brother of a father, and you have a good reputation for killing your siblings? ”

When Mrs. Jia saw her husband's shadow, she raised her voice and said with a crying voice.

Jia Si muttered: "Mother, it's true, and pushed it on the eldest brother and second brother...... The eldest brother and the second brother are now both lieutenants, who has the kung fu to take care of the third brother? If it really falls into the ground, the third brother will not be able to run away when he cleans up the old officials at the beginning of the month, can he wait until now? It must have been the third brother who did something bad to find out......"

Mrs. Jia was distressed by her youngest son, pointing at her son and being speechless, panting for breath.

Master Jia walked in with a drooping face and said, "Don't make trouble with Xiao Si, Xiao Si go to study quickly!" ”

Jia Si refused to leave: "Dad, what's going on?" ”

Now that the house is in a mess, he is not heartless, where can he read it?

He just doesn't approve of his mother's practice of pushing everything on Brother Jia Yan.

Now figuring out the charges is the key, not dragging Jia Yan's brothers into the water.

If you really want to anger the two, it will be harmful to the Jia family.

Master Jia looked at his wife and said, "Let's make up the money, and prepare to pay the fine for the rebel......

When Mrs. Jia heard this, her heart was relieved, and she said: "It turned out that the prefect's yamen took the opportunity to blackmail, so is it okay for the three of us?" Speaking of this, he said angrily: "I said that I have nothing to do with those two, if they don't make trouble, okay, why would the prefect's yamen target our family?" ”

"Stop messing around!"

Master Jia only felt that the noise was not good, and he couldn't help but be upset, and his tone was not good: "It's not your good son, a little official, and he doesn't even have a paperwork, so he dares to touch anything......"

One case was interfering in a case of "succession" by others, and the other was interfering in a dispute over the sale and purchase of paddy fields.

In both cases, there were fatalities.

In the former case, the widow's family adopted a nephew as a stepson.

As a result, the clan elder bribed the household department and added the name of the old grandson of the clan to the household register of the widow's family, so that the grandson became a "stepson" and rightfully inherited the rice fields and mansions of the widow's family.

And he defiled the name of the widow and her stepson, and forced the widow to hang herself.

The stepson was also removed from the family and disappeared.

When the Chuzhou army entered Jinling, the stepson took advantage of Jinling's unstable situation to kill the old man and grandson of the clan to avenge his adoptive mother. But he was a daring person, and after taking revenge, he took the initiative to surrender to the prefect's yamen.

Another paddy field sale was a family whose parents were seriously ill and their children and grandchildren were filial and wanted to sell their ancestral land.

It was also the greed of the clansmen, and when they heard the news, they bought off the household officials, changed the land deed, and recorded the paddy field as a clan property, and returned it to the clan house to take care of it, and it was not allowed to buy and sell.

When the news reached the man's house, the seriously ill old couple was angry to death.

The children and grandchildren of this family are also bloody, and a complaint was filed with the yamen.

Helplessly, there was a household document as proof, and the paddy field was the "ancestral property", and finally convicted of "false accusation", was beaten by the board, and paid a fine.

In order to prevent future troubles, the patriarch bought off the officials who played the board, and directly discounted the legs of the father and son, and cut off the road to the imperial examination.

The wall fell and everyone pushed it, and in the following months, the property was embezzled by the clansmen.

Fortunately, this filial son has one or two acquaintances to take care of, so he didn't lose his life.

Previously, the prefect of Jinling issued a notice to clean up the "old officials", and the two families handed over the complaint.

Speaking of which, these two families are mentioning the Yin Division of the household department, and they don't do anything about the department.

But who let Jia San love Zhang Luo, who has a wide range of people, is the one who pulls the strings from it.

Song Lin saw that he was not the mastermind or accomplice, but just a middleman, and let him go gently.

Now that the old case is reopened, this accomplice can become the mastermind.

"Five lives! Just for a hundred and eighty taels of silver! ”

Master Jia was heartbroken.

In the eyes of parents, their children are all good, but if there is something bad, it is either wronged by others or abducted by others.

But right now, Master Jia is really disappointed.

There is no ambiguity in these two lawsuits, both are cases of clansmen seizing property.

Interfering in such a lawsuit is a lack of morality and smoke.

If the Jia family is short of money, they can't care about anything else, the silver is the closest, but the Jia family is not short of silver......

Jia San, as a son who has already married and has errands, can spend fifty taels of silver in the account room every month.

Thinking of this, Master Jia noticed that something was wrong, and wondered: "What does that bastard want to do with silver?" ”

Mrs. Jia's eyes flickered a little, and she said, "What else can there be?" There is a lot of entertainment outside, and the cost is ......"

Master Jia looked at his wife fixedly, and said with a cold face: "You still have to hide it for him?" Say, it's a prostitute? Still is...... Bet? ”

Jia Si looked at his father, then at his mother, and whispered, "What else can there be?" The account room of the Qianjin Gambling House has come to the door twice this month......"

Master Jia only felt that his eyes were black.

Mrs. Jia choked up and said: "San'er is the most honest, if he hadn't fallen into the trap of someone with a heart, how could he get involved in gambling...... In the final analysis, it was my sin, I should not have married in, and I should not have given birth to several of their brothers and sisters......"

Again, again.

The difference between the two is more than ten years old, and they are also old husbands and young wives.

When Mrs. Jia said this before, Master Jia would be distressed and retreat.

Right now, he is full of impatience: "You shouldn't marry in!" Since before entering the door, I know that I am a person who fills the house and a stepmother, so I should not be able to tolerate the two of them......"

This time, there is no need for Mrs. Jia to bite, Master Jia knows that this matter has nothing to do with the second son.

When the second son was a teenager, people around him encouraged him to gamble.

Later, Jia Yan, the eldest brother, found out, and took the brother to kneel in front of the tablet of the deceased mother for three days before he was able to pull him back.

Jia Yuan didn't fight or intersect, and became friends with the young master of the Qianjin Gambling House.

Retribution, it's all retribution!

Master Jia smiled bitterly.

Knowing the son is more than the father.

He already knew in his heart that the eldest son had a generous personality, but the second son was retribution.

After sending a housekeeper and being ignored by his two sons, he stopped moving, and no longer thought of bowing his head and begging his two sons to come back.

for he knows that it is useless to ask.

If he doesn't take revenge on his stepmother, he is angry, and Jia Yuan will not look back.

Now, it's revenge!
