Chapter 208: Another Dimension
"The matter of private salt has come to an end, and it doesn't matter whether Pei Yanqing is the mastermind behind it or not, let alone just an inconsequential servant, you don't care about this matter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
While dealing with the official documents in his hand, Lin Ruhai did not raise his head to speak.
When I was in Jia's house before, everyone also had such a look when they talked about Feng Yuan's tragic death, and that kind of disregard for life made Jia Lian's heart suddenly feel angry.
"My lord said carefully, Pei Yongnian is not an insignificant person. Just like those moths in the south of the Yangtze River, relying on the sky and the emperor far away, and the people in the name of the above. If the Pei family didn't do this, but Pei Yongnian did it selfishly, relying on himself to win Pei Yanqing's trust, and then abused his power to open up the salt fields to fill his own pockets, wouldn't the Pei family be wronged? ”
Jia Lian didn't care about the Pei family, with the dozens of people who died in the gold mine, it was not too much to kill Pei Yanqing's family.
But one yard is one yard, Jia Lian can't get used to these people's attitude of treating human life as a mustard.
Is it one thing to be in a high position and not be able to take human life? Shouldn't we uphold the professional ethics of fairness and integrity, find out the whole thing, and then decide the case?
At least the Pei family has to admit their guilt, and as far as Jia Lian knows, after such a long time, not only Pei Yanqing, but also the rest of the Pei family have not relented!
Although the tone of these words did not change, they were still extremely respectful, and Lin Ruhai still heard Jia Lian's original taste.
was silent, looked up at Jia Lian for a long time, Jia Lian was quite uncomfortable, and Lin Ruhai slowly put down the pen in his hand.
"What's wrong with you today?"
Jia Lian's mouth moved, but he didn't speak. Lin Ruhai smiled lightly, and then looked at the meaningful opening at the door.
"In the end, I see you steady and agile on weekdays, but I forgot that you are only in your twenties now."
As he spoke, Lin Ruhai's voice turned low, and he looked at Jia Lian and said seriously.
"It doesn't matter if the person behind this matter is the Pei family or not, the important thing is to let the people of the world know that as long as they want to be opportunistic and damage the interests of the imperial court, then they will be doomed."
Looking up in surprise, Jia Lian was stunned.
Therefore, they also feel that with the strength of the Pei family, there is no need to sell illicit salt at all?!
"Besides, the Pei family has done so many things that hurt the heavens and reason, and it is okay to punish him for the nine clans, but now he is only killing the Pei family's descendants, and the side branches are even more slight, which is not a gift."
After speaking, he turned around and returned to his seat, and when he saw Jia Lian looking stunned, he picked up the booklet in his hand and thought about it, and then spoke again.
"As for that Pei Yongnian, he has been transferred to the Criminal Department and issued a wanted warrant, there are many things in the ministry recently, and the next dealer in Huai Province should also consider how to choose, your mind should be spent on the place where it should be spent, and this kind of thing is not our management scope.
People sometimes have to be confused, do what we should do, see more, listen more, think more.
However, be cautious in what you say and do. ”
After speaking, he continued to bow his head to deal with the official business in hand, and Lin Ruhai didn't pay attention to Jia Lian anymore.
The emperor and he didn't care so much about whether the Pei family was wronged. From the time Jia Lian escorted the Pei family to Kyoto, the end of the Pei family was already doomed.
Maybe when he was in Jinling, Jia Lian was still able to control the fate of the Pei family, but now he can't.
As long as the Pei family enters Beijing, the court will show an attitude for the sake of face. Cut through the mess quickly, how quickly and how to come, whether the Pei family did it or not, it is not so important.
Of course, if it is replaced by someone else, it may not necessarily be this result, but it is also because the Pei family is "suitable".
The tree is big, and there is no tough background, and it is full of evil deeds.
The Pei family's chicken is very suitable.
In a trance, Jia Lian walked to the door and turned around, Lin Ruhai still looked as elegant as before. Unhurriedly picked up the pen and wrote something from time to time, but Jia Lian inexplicably felt that this person seemed to have changed, and it seemed that he had not changed.
When he used himself as bait to lure the gangsters in Jiangnan to appear, his face was also this kind of calm and confident.
Perhaps, this is the real him.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
On the first day of the seventh month, Jia Lian got up early in the morning inexplicably, got up and sat in a daze for a while, always feeling restless.
He was alone in the room, and the voice of Jade and Ping'er was faintly heard outside.
"Sister Onyx doesn't have to worry about this, Grandma Xiaorong is now a twin child, and she is seven months pregnant, since this letter has been spread, you just want to go and make it."
Outside, Jade made a Jia Lian's underwear in his hand, and Jia Lian's socks were in Agate's hand.
"It's okay, I'm clumsy, Grandma Xiaorong can't leave me anywhere, if she really wants to serve, she will go to ask the master or the old lady for help."
With a self-deprecating smile, Ping'er was a little distracted, and the needle in his hand poked his finger at once, and a blood bead came out in an instant.
There was a word from Ning Guofu, Wang Xifeng's fetal qi was not very stable, and she dreamed a lot at night, thinking that she thought about it very much.
Seeing this, Jade took out her handkerchief and handed it over, and then saw Jia Lian coming out with only her underwear, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve.
"Why don't you sleep more today, it's hard to rest, I've been tired for so many days, I should rest."
Jia Lian was stimulated before, and he was irritable and plunged into official business, leaving early and returning late, which was very tiring.
Jia Lian shook his head and said no, let Jade wait for him to get dressed, and then hurried out of the house without breakfast.
"I still have something to do today, I won't come back for lunch, you tell the second lady."
Today, Lin Daiyu is going to see Mother Jia, when Lin Ruhai took Lin Daiyu away, she said that she would let Lin Daiyu come over every three days to say goodbye. Jia Lian originally promised to go to Jia's mother's courtyard for lunch in the spring.
directly called Xing'er and Wang'er, who had already got married, to go out, Jia Lian got on the horse and ordered Zhao'er.
"You go to Zhuangzi to find Yin Ye and ask him to wait for me in the Ruyi Building at the entrance of the vegetable market."
Ruyifang is a restaurant, not far from the noon gate.
Zhao'er was stunned when she heard this, her face was a little uncomfortable, and she didn't move for a long time.
Jia Lian frowned when he saw this, and his face was a little helpless.
"What?"
Zhao'er glanced at Jia Lian cautiously, and saw that Xing'er and Wang'er were also looking at themselves with puzzled expressions, with obscurity on their faces.
"It's better to change to a restaurant."
"Hey, you kid is fat, right, when will it be your turn to intervene in the affairs of the master."
Xing'er pretended to dance the whip in his hand to Zhao'er, and the latter hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Where do you dare to be small, but I heard over there that there are more than a dozen people who asked for a cut today."
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and then remembered this stubble, and looked at Jia Lian with Wang'er.
With a slight pause, Jia Lian's face was as usual, and then he immediately hit the horse and moved forward.
The bitterness on Zhao'er's face became even stronger when she saw this, but Jia Lian left again, so she had to speak to Xing'er Wang'er.
"Two good brothers, how can this be good."
"Of course I'm going to invite Yin Ye!"
Xing'er glanced at Zhao'er and hurriedly followed with Wang'er.
He felt that the mood of his second master today did not seem to be very good.
Jia Lian took Xing'er Wang'er for a walk around the street, and before he knew it, he arrived at the entrance of the noon vegetable market.
The people of the Pei family are going to behead them here today to show the public.
In a complicated mood, Jia Lian inexplicably took the two little guys to Ruyi Building, and let Xiao Er fill a box full of good wine and food.
――――――――――――
"Lord Jia, please come in, the time is arbitrary, anyway, there are still two or two hours before they will go to the execution ground."
The jailer took the silver handed by Xing'er and shook it silently, and then smiled at Jia Lian with a flattering face.
Jia Lian didn't know why, he just felt uncomfortable and wanted to come over to see Pei Yanqing off.
Compared with the prison in Jinling Yingtianfu, the prison in Kyoto is undoubtedly a little better than the living environment, the ground is not as humid as Jinling, it is still dry, and there is a square table inside.
The Pei family was divided into two prisons, men and women, Jia Lian didn't think of this before, thinking that it was the last journey anyway, and he was not short of this money, so he asked Xing'er to take the money and set up a table again, and here he went directly into the prison and looked at Pei Yanqing.
The last time Jia Lian saw Pei Yanqing, it was in Jinling. That time it was Jiang Wei who told Jia Lian that the Pei family had been convicted of all kinds of angry crimes, and Jia Lian told Pei Yanqing that he was going to escort the entire Pei family into Beijing.
Compared with last time, Jia Lian looked at Pei Yanqing in front of him, and felt that even if this person didn't go to the execution ground, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to live for long.
When he was in Jinling, his neatly combed hair is now a mess, and he can wear the dirty prison uniform last time, which is decent and decent, giving people a feeling of refreshment. But this time, the new prison uniform was worn on him, revealing despair and resentment in his face.
"I didn't build a salt pan privately."
Staring at Jia Lian, Pei Yanqing sat on the horizontal stool tremblingly and spoke.
The entire Pei family, just because of this crime, he paid for the real Pei family. As for those side branches, as far as Pei Yanqing is concerned, they are not the Pei family.
Jia Lian didn't know how to talk, nodded and drank the wine in the glass in front of him.
If there is no private construction of Yantian, it is just a matter of gold mines, and the Pei family will at most pay Pei Yanqing, his two sons and the steward who knows about it. Although the family property will definitely be confiscated, it is safe for the priest to have the younger generation and female dependents.
Now, it is because the emperor wants to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, so the entire Pei family branch is beheaded to show the public.
His eyes had become cloudy, and Pei Yanqing swept the descendants behind him who were either desperate or trembling or crying, and slowly knelt down towards Jia Lian.
"My lord, my Pei family has never done it.
I beg you, you can help me intercede with the emperor and spare these children. ”
While saying this, he kowtowed frantically to the ground, Pei Yanqing couldn't help but burst into tears.
Of course he knew it was impossible, but he couldn't help but want to try.
The people of the Pei family had not met Jia Lian, but Pei Yanqing's actions gave them hope. For the dying, any wind and bird movement is a lifesaver. Soon the kowtow in the prison sounded, and Jia Lian sat silently for a long time, and then slowly got up.
He?
He's just a high-class ant.
Walking out of the prison gate, the jailer quickly locked the door, and let the Pei family kowtow and cry and beg inside. At this time, Xing'er also brought a large box of good food from Ruyi Building and sent it to the door of the women's prison, but was stopped by a young woman.
"Please, please save my child, she's having a fever and she's dying."
The woman pleaded bitterly, Jia Lian looked at it coldly, the child's face was flushed, about two or three years old, and he was not wearing a prison clothes, but a printed dress in the blue color.
The long eyelashes were attached to his face, his brows were furrowed, and he couldn't even cry anymore.
With a surging throat, Jia Lian turned around violently and staggered out of the door.
Whether it is the fifty or sixty lives of the Pei family, or the sale of illegal salt in the private salt fields, the damned ones are all the principals of the Pei family! Even if these female relatives cover up, they should die, but the child is really innocent!
Jia Lian saw it on the side of the Pei family's male before, and there were two five or six-year-old children in it, and even more so in the women's prison.......
Finally got out of the prison, and the jailer guarding the door saw that Jia Lian's face was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him. The sun in July has begun to blaze, the sun is in the sky, noon is approaching, Jia Lian bowed his head and stretched out his hand.
It's not very fair, and even the palm of the palm has at least a thick layer of cocoons all year round, and now it trembles slightly in the sun.
Jia Lian's body was chilling for a while, and his mind was full of the desperate eyes and bitter cries of the daughters of the Pei family and the children of the Pei family.
It was he who sent them in with his own hands, it was him.
Jia Lian regretted it.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really couldn't feel that kind of desperate depression, if he was more rigorous when he was in Jinling, and did not send the Pei family to Beijing because the marriage date was approaching, but seriously, the person in charge investigated all the evidence, and caught Pei Yongnian for interrogation, then is it a different situation?
At that time, even if the final result was still the Pei family, his conscience would not be as disturbed, flustered, and self-blaming as it is now!
Because of his selfishness, because of his impatience and laziness, it is now possible that he has wronged people, and thus so many innocent people have been implicated.
For the first time, Jia Lian had doubts about his attitude towards life in this era.
Is he wrong.
The attitude of getting by, the selfishness of sweeping the snow in front of the door, and the increasing greed for pleasure and gradually blending into the circles and thoughts of these people, are becoming more and more numb.
When Yin Shanzhi arrived with Yin Hao, Jia Lian was already sitting in Ruyi Building.
A private room on the second floor of Ruyi Building, with a balcony on it, Jia Lian stood upright like this.
Yin Shanzhi walked to his side and looked down, just in time to be able to see the entire Xingtai.
The sun was almost above the sky, and there were a total of five executioners on the execution table, wiping the glittering broadswords in their hands.
