After being frightened for a long time, the matter was easy to come to an end temporarily, and everyone was inevitably a little hungry.

Sister Feng and Mandarin Duck took it out, first saluted Jia's mother, and then distributed it to everyone according to the head, but in this way, each person got only two or three pieces, where was enough to satisfy hunger? Li Kun then gave his share to Jia Lan, Mrs. Wang gave Jin Gui, Tanchun handed it to Jia Huan, and Sister Feng also gave it to Jia Cong, and Mandarin Duck gave Jia Cong what Jia's mother gave herself, and shared the food with Bao Chan and the waiter.

After everyone was resting, Jia Mu pulled Sister Feng and asked quietly, "Girl Feng, where is Mama Li?"

Sister Feng also replied quietly: "Mama Li is not my person, she is ...... My mother lent me the person I served, and I returned her to take care of them. ”

Jia Mu nodded: "It's okay." And he closed his eyes and recuperated himself. Sister Feng sat on the chair beside her, hugged Jia Cong and rested.

Silence returned to the courtyard, and occasionally there was a low whimper or two from Madame Wang.

Jia Mu and the others were detained in the room for seven or eight days in a row, and finally came out, but they were transferred to the prison temple and imprisoned. Mandarin Duck and Sister Feng spread the felt brought out of the house on the ground and asked Mother Jia to sit down. After Jia Mu sat down, she asked Jin Gui to sit over as well. Tanchun, Hu Shi and other young girls and daughters-in-law all lowered their heads and followed behind Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and You Shi, not even daring to show their faces.

In the past seven or eight days, the Dragon Guards have obviously been instructed, and they have all been polite to these female dependents, even without saying a word of seriousness.

But who knows what's going on inside the Hell Temple?

After everyone sat down, Jia Mu took out a handful of golden hairpins from her sleeve and asked the jailer: "Big brother, let's take a look and inquire about the news, what about the people who were originally imprisoned here?"

When the jailers saw the golden hairpin, they hurriedly stretched out their hands to take it, and when they saw that there was only one handful, they frowned and said, "What's the matter, when you came here, you still want to put the shelf when you were the master? Tell you, don't dream! Hurry up, obediently take out all the things in your pockets, and honor the official, the official can still take care of your full meal, let you go to Huangquan Road, and you can also be a full ghost." He swept over the exposed mandarin duck and Sister Feng with obscene eyes, as well as Tanchun and others behind them: "Why are a few beauties reluctant to show their faces? ”

Tanchun and the others trembled with fright, only Sister Feng sneered and spat out.

Jia Mu sighed, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was an uproar outside.

It was Li Long, the commander of Jinyiwei, who was also Lin Zhao's henchman in the capital.

The high-ranking officials of the Jinyi Guard themselves had a majestic body and a strong momentum, which frightened the jailers who were still very arrogant.

Li Long asked Lin Yang, the housekeeper of the Lin family, to distribute the food he brought to the people of Jiafu, and he didn't talk to the jailers, but only said slowly to the official of Shuntian Mansion who brought him: "Since you are an official, you can do it well." If I had known something had gone wrong, I wouldn't have let it go. ”

The errand official was originally serving under the sect of Chengsun Shaozong of Shuntian Mansion, and Li Long had a lot of contact with him before, so he naturally knew the other party's methods, so he hurriedly gave a military salute and promised loudly: "Please rest assured, the lower official will not disgrace his life!" As he spoke, he glared at the jailers viciously from the corner of his eye.

Li Long didn't say anything anymore, and when he saw that Lin Yang had finished dividing everything, he nodded with Jia Mu and Sister Feng, and said to Jia Huan: "Jia Huan, the Jinyi Guard Yamen let you take a vacation, but it didn't let you stay here and go to jail! If this happens, why don't you send someone to inform the Yamen? Besides, although you are young, you are also a gentleman, and you are with your female dependents, what kind of system will you become?"

Jia Huan's eyes were red, and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The mark has disappointed the adults!"

"What is the disappointment or disappointment, you are just the concubine of the Jia family, and you are not favored, what can you do? Why don't you clean up and take your sister home with us?" Li Long scolded with a smile.

When these words were spoken, everyone was suddenly startled, and Tanchun shook for no reason.

Jia Huan was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Go home, which home to go to?"

"You are a hundred households in Jinyiwei, and you will be promoted to a deputy thousand households next year, and the Jinyi Wei Yamen naturally has your housing, why don't you leave?"

"What about my mother?"

"Your mother is just a concubine, what can you get, the Jinyi Wei Yamen is naturally the master and redeemed it! I said what are you hesitating about here?"

Li Long said this, Jia Huan and Tanchun glanced at each other before relaxing.

Jia Huan stayed here these days just to protect his sister, but he didn't expect Jinyiwei to have this benefit, so he didn't refuse immediately, pulled Tanchun and Shishu out of prison, and turned around and kowtowed to Jia's mother a few times.

Jia Mu sighed: "I didn't expect your sister to let you be motivated like a brocade guard, and there are such good things, Huan'er, you have to worry a lot about things outside, three girls, don't forget your second brother." ”

Tanchun and Jia Huan tearfully agreed.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "This lord, I am Jia Huan's mother......

Li Long glanced at Mrs. Wang, and the sharp and indifferent eyes directly made Mrs. Wang dare not speak.

Li Long immediately sneered a few times, and then took Jia Huan and the others away.

After Li Long walked away, the errand officer gave the jailers a kick to each of them: "A bunch of fools!" He called the officer in charge of this matter over and scolded: "Since you know that the female dependents are going to be detained here, why don't you hurry up and change a few female cell bosses here, and let these guys stay here? Let me tell you, if you still have the past thoughts, you will have the wrong idea! Make your moves brighter, don't provoke people who can't afford to offend, and hang up the whole family! Look at it, you are stupid and have no hands or feet, and you can't move, right? Hey, don't say that my brother didn't remind you, remember to find a few mothers-in-law who are similar and know the rules. If something goes wrong, the blame from above is not something you and I can afford. ”

The officer scolded him so submissively that he agreed, and immediately took the jailers away and replaced them with some stout mothers-in-law. The errand officer waited for the things to be done safely, and he dared to leave.

Mother Jia sighed, patted Sister Feng's hand and said, "Did the people of the Lin family say anything just now?"

Sister Feng said softly: "Back to the words of the ancestors, the old housekeeper Lin said, the old master is ...... They were all put in prison. ”

Jia Mu nodded: "I expected it too." That's it, this matter can't be finished easily, with your Uncle Lin here, we won't be too wronged, and the rest will be settled. Jin Gui is pregnant, so you and Mandarin Duck have to work harder and take care of everyone more. ”

Sister Feng agreed in a low voice.

Mrs. Wang sat in a daze for a long time, and suddenly asked in a crying voice, "Did Steward Lin tell me anything about Niangniang......?" After she dies, will the funeral be proper?"

Sister Feng was slightly stunned and shook her head slightly: "Steward Lin didn't say anything." ”

Mrs. Wang then cried loudly, and finally stopped under the comfort of everyone, and then choked intermittently: "Next time someone comes, you ask, you ask, my Yuan'er, what happened to my Yuan'er...... Whining....... ”

Sister Feng sighed, not daring to agree easily.

For more than a month after that, Lin Yang delivered food every two days, and through him, Jia Mu and the others more or less knew some news from the outside:

The crimes of the two Jia Shi families were all fused by the fan of the stone nerd, the Yushitai was at full speed, the criminal department was repeated, and finally the emperor made the decision.

It is said that among the people who participated in the denunciation, many of them were officials and Qing guests who had been funded by the Jia family, such as Zhan Guang, Bu Guxiu, Shan Pianren, and so on.

When Yuan Chun found out, he pleaded with the saint, but was reprimanded by the saint, and that night he was overfrightened and died of a violent illness. According to her identity in the Wupin Shang Palace, she did not enter the concubine's mausoleum, and the queen was in charge, and she was carried out of the palace and cremated in the purification hall.

After the trial of the three divisions, Jia pardoned the family in the Rongguo Mansion and was sentenced to be deprived of the title and confiscated the family property, but Jia Lian did not admonish his father and was deprived of his official position. Jia Zhen was charged with a heavier crime in Ningguo's mansion, not only in the country's filial piety and family filial piety, but also in several major crimes, such as disorderly incest, forcing the wife and daughter of a good family to be concubines, and privately hiding the property of criminals in the government, and was sentenced to beheading, deprivation of title, and confiscation of family property. Jia Rong is better, because most of Ning Guofu's crimes were sentenced to Jia Zhen, so although he also has the crime, but because he is not the main culprit, and there are officials who sympathize with him There is such an old man, and he was only sentenced to three years in prison.

The Shi family is gone, the crime of disobeying the will and collaborating with the enemy, the two marquis were exiled, and the female dependents were not enslaved.

Hearing these news, everyone wept and scolded those white-eyed wolves.

Mrs. Xing was full of sadness when she thought that the private money she had saved all her life was gone, and her life was gone, and she had to rely on Sister Feng. You and Hu are even more painful: they thought that if they married into Ning Guofu, they could enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, but who knew that if they were not blessed, they would not be able to last a long time. Only Mrs. Wang is better, because she didn't hear anything about Jia Zheng and Baoyu, she is always a little relieved, but her Yuan'er ...... How could she be buried in the purification hall with the return of a eunuch and palace maid who had no place to go? Every time she thought of this, her heart ached unbearably.

But Mrs. Wang's dream didn't last long, and one day an official sent her to the trial.

When they arrived at the hall, Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng also kneeling there, and the hall was shocked, and one crime after another fell, Mrs. Wang was dumbfounded: Her previous loan shark and lawsuit were revealed, but it was nothing, which lady of the family did not do this? Not to mention that their private house had been copied and made up for the events of the day, what else did they want? That was a whole hundred thousand taels of silver. But how could the lord be charged with several crimes, such as overstepping the system, collaborating with the enemy, and not distinguishing between his descendants? That is a big crime, and it wants to involve Baoyu, how can the lord be so confused?

Mrs. Wang couldn't believe her ears, and in her confused state, the verdict came down: Jia Zheng and his wife Wang took away their fame, pardoned their lives, and exiled Yuehai to serve in atonement.

Madame Wang collapsed to the ground: her life's work had been wasted...... Mrs. Wang couldn't help but cry bitterly.
