While Sister Feng and Ping'er were talking, the curtain behind them was lifted at this time.

Jia Lian was awakened by the thunder, and when he arrived at the door at this time, he couldn't help frowning.

In the past two years, it was not pleasant for him to meet the two marquis of the Shi family, and he didn't think about it, and unknowingly, such a thing happened.

Jia Lian looked at the crowd outside: "It's useless to talk too much here, so I'll go to the detention center of Dali Temple to take a look."

Another one was copied inexplicably, but it was called reminiscent of the Niu family of the Zhenguo Mansion many years ago. But the Shi family and the Zhenguo Mansion are different after all, and they can't get around the Jia family.

Not to mention anything else, the old lady is a person from the Shi family.

Sister Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, you quickly change your clothes and go over to do some work, they are a lot of expensive people, and now they are in prison, and they don't know what will go wrong."

Jia Lian originally planned to go out directly, but when she heard Sister Feng say this, she also knew that the matter was urgent, so she only told Zhao Tianliang to prepare the car, and she went into the house to change her clothes.

"Which one do you change, the court robe or it?"

"Python robe, it's good to be famous."

The Allure Bo system was originally wearing unicorn robes and bullfighting robes, but when Jia Lian was promoted to the military department the year before last, the palace gave a python suit to show his favor.

Not long after, Jia Lian was dressed in a round-necked python robe, tied gold and jade and took the thirteen marques out of the house, and drove away from the Allure Bofu by car.

Zhao Tianliang returned to his old business, drove in the rain, and followed the rider who was riding a horse and carrying a lamp in front of him.

Inside the carriage, Jia Lian asked, "All the people from Shihou Mansion have been detained?" What crime is asked?"

Zhao Tianliang was distracted and replied loudly: "At this time, they should all be brought out, and before they all have to ask for the guilt, they only said that the two old masters of Shihou were dismissed and handed over to the ministry for strict punishment."

"Strict discussion—"

Jia Lian muttered, shook his head, and said, "Then you don't need to stay anything more on the road, and you don't need to go to prison, the Shi family didn't devote himself so quickly, and went directly to the Dali Temple detention center."

Zhao Tianliang replied, waved the horsewhip, and kept urging.

In just half an hour, the carriage reached the south wall of the inner city in Beijing.

This is the detention center of Dali Temple.

Outside is the person who escorts Shihou Mansion, and he has long been on the third floor and the third floor outside.

The middle door was wide open, and at the end of the extension of the two torches, the commander of Yulin, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, made Zhao Quan suddenly hear the neighing of the carriages and horses outside, and hurriedly asked people to listen.

At another glance, a carriage burst into the middle of the courtroom and stopped at the bottom of the steps.

The people in the car set up a stool and an umbrella, stepped on a pair of black and white soap boots, stepped on the steps in two steps, and floated to the door.

After looking at it, Zhao Quan hurriedly stepped aside to salute.

"Xiaguan Yulin's commander Zhao Quan has seen Uncle Allure, and he came here today, and asked Uncle Zhao to show him."

"Do you recognize me?"

Jia Lian glanced at it obliquely, flicked his sleeves and entered the door.

The two first-class people in the door had already knelt on either side.

Zhao Quan bowed down and followed, and arched his hand behind him: "Uncle doesn't know, in the past, Xia Guan and Uncle held Ge Wei Su Palace together, but their fate was shallow and they were not on the same shift. It's another coincidence, now Xia Guan is working under Lord Gui Qi."

Jia Lian nodded, his footsteps did not stop, calling the clerks on the ground to lead the way, and walked inward with his back hand.

After a while, they arrived at the place where the Shi Hou family was confined.

There were many people in the two Shihou Mansions, and there were nearly three or four hundred people in total, so they only brought their family members, close maids, and powerful housekeepers first, and the rest stayed in the Shihou Mansion to take care of them on the spot.

Zhao Quan followed up and said, "Xia Guan is here on official business, I don't know why uncle?"

Inside the fence, the man is on one side, the woman is on the other, and everyone in Shihou Mansion is covering up one by one.

Suddenly, I saw that the door above was open again, and Jia Lian entered with thunder and lightning, and opened his eyes for a while.

"It's that Second Master Lian here, I recognize it!"

After a period of overjoyed commotion, a group of women on the left retreated, revealing two emaciated Mrs. Shihou.

"Lian

Son!"

Mrs. Baolinghou's head is gone, her hair will not be scattered, holding the fence with one hand and wiping her tears with the other.

"Lian'er, this kind of thing happened to my family, and now I can only ask you to be kind."

Jia Lian stopped in front of the fence, looked left and right, and came over first to ask, "What about the two uncles?"

When Mrs. Baoling heard this, her tears could not be stopped for a while.

Mrs. Zhongjinghou next to her cried together, "The other people were brought up, and they were all put in the yoke and said that they would be punished. How do we know this? No matter how great the sin is, he has been dismissed from his job at home, and now he can't even care about the feelings of his ancestors."

"So fast?"

Jia Lian also understands what the ancients mean by lamenting their misfortune and hating their indisputability.

"Why don't you listen to me! The money owed to the court was just that, and it was slowly repaid, so that the court could watch it. However, the two uncles all thought about luck, and would rather take the silver to the camp than make up for it, and now they must be guilty of this crime!"

Of course, he had the confidence to say this.

If there is no help in the Allure Mansion, it is naturally fake.

The old lady is still alive, the two Shi Hou and the two ladies are close elders, Sister Feng said that she was afraid that the Shi family would not be able to hang on the face, so she changed her name, and the gift was doubled or tripled to filial piety every New Year's holiday.

You must know that the deficit of Rongfu is not to be filled.

But the historians of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are still short of more than two million taels of silver, and they are really willing to give the silver to the prince to fight for the party than to pay it back, for fear of a 'loss'.

「…… We have also advised, but who can know about this in advance? Now the old man doesn't know how, thanks to Lian'er, you intercede outside, and we will see each other in the future."

The two Mrs. Shihou also felt embarrassed, and complained for a while, and sighed again.

Jia Lian came to ask Zhao Quan, the commander behind him, and asked, "Which yamen were transferred by the two Shihou?"

"It's the entrance of the criminal department."

Zhao Quan stepped forward in response, and then arched his hand and said, "The original Baoling Hou and Zhongjing Hou have all been attacked by the Revolution, and they have been ordered to be dismissed together. The subordinate officials should also be here on official business at the moment, and they should urge the people who are waiting for them to divide the fence and check the documents. If the uncle has other instructions, the lower officials will do their best to undertake it, and only ask them not to interfere with official business, then the lower officials will be ashamed of the entrustment of the saints, and the two will tarnish the reputation of the uncle, and I hope to think twice."

There was a needle hidden in these words, and Jia Lian hesitated for a while.

It turned out that the two uncles were not in Dali Temple, but went to the place where the Criminal Department was interrogated.

It was close to the Imperial City, and it was too late to rush over now.

Moreover, the Criminal Department has its own rules for trial, and he can't say anything in the past.

"Second Brother Lian!"

Shi Xiangyun ran over in the fence, his cheeks were not dried with tears, his hair was scattered, his clothes were wet with rain outside, he looked outside hatefully and said, "He beats people, Second Brother Lian help me!"

"It's really a spoiled girl, and I don't know how serious it is!"

The two Mrs. Shi Hou were so desperate that they didn't dare to look at Zhao Quan, the commander who was bowing outside, and they were busy stopping Shi Xiangyun and letting people drag her inside.

Jia Lian turned his head and looked at Zhao Quan behind him, "Sure enough, there is such a thing?"

"It's—"

Zhao Quan didn't know how to answer for a while.

Jia Lian was holding back his anger when he saw Shi Xiangyun so embarrassed, but when he saw this person supporting him, he couldn't help but be angry, stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Quan's collar, and lifted him and pressed him against the fence: "My sister is ignorant at home, what crime did she commit? You dare to touch her!"

Zhao Quan couldn't break free, and he couldn't speak, his face turned red.

Inside the fence, Shi Xiangyun shook off the people and scolded: "You don't know how to say anything, and you have been slightly insulted by this 'official'." If I don't talk about it now, I'm waiting to be bullied to death, how did I become a person who doesn't know what to do?"

Which one of the left and right still has the mind and Miss Shi to think of allusions, but it is not good to stop it for a while.

Shi Xiangyun cried and scolded, and came up again

shouted: "Second Brother Lian, you ask him, even if the old man is hereditary, he hasn't had time to ask for the crime, if he meets white-clothed people on the street, they will also bully him at will? It is a day to ask about the crime, since our family has been rich and noble before, it should be implicated in the beheading of imprisonment, the beheading of imprisonment, the allotment of distribution and sales, that is also another will of the imperial court, what to do with him! As long as he didn't resist the raid, he wanted to beat someone?"

Jia Lian nodded when he heard this, and let go of his hand with a cold snort.

Xiangyun's words reminded him that it is not uncommon for people to fall into the well, and he originally came to protect the Shi Hou family from being bullied.

Zhou Bo, the former minister of the Han Dynasty, fell in prison, and he also sighed: I have tasted a million troops, and today I know the value of prison officials. "

Although Jia Lian forgot this allusion, he also knew the truth that the king of Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult.

The commander made Zhao Quan fall to the ground, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers who came forward behind him, and then gasped and said, "Uncle Allure is worried about his relatives and friends here, and the lower officials can be forgiven. I only took care of it all the way here, and I don't know when I hit this master's house?"

Speaking of the back, Zhao Quanjian looked at the fence with hatred, and he was angry for a while.

The two Mrs. Shi Hou were dignified, but they retreated in fear, only Shi Xiangyun, who was like a chicken in soup, gritted his teeth and did not avoid it, and reached out with one hand to hold the corner of Jia Lian's clothes and speak.

"You didn't beat me, but when my maid Cui Wei didn't come over in the house for a while, she was beaten twice and whipped, and now she is still cramping inside!"

The commander made Zhao Quan laugh angrily for a while: "Xu is that she is sneaky, hiding and refusing to come, so the soldiers urged a little."

Afraid that the person inside would say something that he hadn't asked about now, Zhao Quanli ignored it, and only bowed his hand to Jia Lian again: "Uncle Allure, the lower officials still have official affairs to act here, so I can't leave any more irrelevant people and wait."

Where is Jia Lian willing to go.

"Commander Zhou is only in charge of the affairs, I have a clear detention center to come to visit relatives, and the court has not said anything unkind."

According to common sense, Jia Lian should send off the commanding envoy who was ordered to come over, and then work in the detention center.

But now that he heard the fork and saw that Xiangyun was pitiful, he couldn't hold back his anger and moved his hand, but the words were not easy to say.

Zhao Quan saw that Jia Lian couldn't leave, and he had no choice but to send someone to the palace to ask for instructions. At that moment, I had to record the names of the people who were waiting for the Shi family according to the process, and then left someone to guard them, and returned to the palace with the directory and the accompanying Yulin soldiers.

Jia Lian was free to recruit doctors in the detention center and didn't mention it.

On the second day, the news of Shi Hou's house being raided slowly spread.

The two Shi Hou masters were the most anxious, and they were convicted that night, and the former Baoling Hou Shi Nai was punished for accepting bribes in the outside office, conniving at the murder of domestic servants, and shortening the treasury silver.

As for the slaves under the name of the former Shihou Mansion, they were all sold on the street according to the deed, and the dependents of the cadres were temporarily kept in the detention center, until the involvement of the body was clarified, and then punished according to law.

Jia Lian returned to the Allure Mansion in the middle of the night, and the next day he dispersed to hear the news, so he had to hurriedly deal with government affairs, and then dispersed to meet people at the yamen of the Criminal Department.

The court also dealt with it too quickly.

At the beginning, the Zhen family in Jiangning rebelled, and it took several days to find out the results, although in the end, the whole family, regardless of the master and servant, all asked for the guilt and betrayed, but when they were halfway there, they were forgiven.

Now the historian's matter is really dazzling.

When I arrived at the cell of the Criminal Department, I waited for a while before I was able to enter and see Shi Nai and Shi Ding, who were wearing flails.

"Two uncles—"

Through the prison, seeing two people with shackles on their heads, even if it was Jia Lian, they couldn't help but be a little moved at this time.

Shi Nai heard the movement, opened his cloudy eyes, and helped his brother Shi Ding to come over to meet him.

"Lian Er?"

"It's hard for you to have the heart to visit at this time."

A man is dying, and his words are good.

The shackles on Shi Nai's feet rattled, his lips were dry, and he sighed, "Since you have not been involved in this matter much, you must not be involved in it again. The saint should not make my house full of sins

At this point, when we go, I beg you to take care of the young and the old in the house."

Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "What did the two uncles suffer from the imperial court, and they didn't even hear the slightest sound beforehand."

In other words, the Zhen family was copied before, and his psychology was clear, but now he is in a good daily life, and he really doesn't know why the Shi family came here overnight.

Jia Lian asked again and again, "...... And is it true or false that the crime of conniving at the murder of a servant is true?"

"You ask about arson? From ancient times to the present, how many of the nobles in the court have lost their power because of the evidence on the surface?"

Shi Nai shook his head and said, "As for what should happen to my family, I don't have to find out, it's probably what you think, I was supposed to be a damned person when I returned to Beijing the year before last."

Jia Lian was speechless for a while.

Shi Nai asked again: "Originally, you and Sister Yun were both reluctant to twist, so they asked Wei Ruolan's family to say goodbye, but now it is no longer possible, so you can rescue it and be a slave and a maid." I also hope that for the sake of the old lady, you will do your best to send my family back to my hometown in Jinling, so that the family will not be scattered and no one will sacrifice to the ancestors!"

Among the four families in Jinling, the Wang family is not in Beijing, the Xue family is also walking on thin ice, and there is only one widow left to run the family business, and the two mansions of the Jia family and Ningrong are not necessarily useful compared to the two in the prison, and they are all unreliable.

At present, Shi Naicai can only entrust all the words to Jia Lian.

"Brother!"

Shi Ding couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly interjected: "Lian'er, you have to be valued by the saint, we may-"

"Say no more!"

Shi Nai snorted and said angrily: "You and I are completely broken and can't be helped, it's not about Lian Er's business, how do you tell him to get up? Don't end up with the rest of the family can't be saved!"

The light in front of Shi Ding's eyes was visibly extinguished.

After a dull moment, he remembered something again and hurriedly said it.

"There must be a villain behind this! And it must be a few people close to us, otherwise if someone else is changed, how can we find so many conclusive evidence in the middle of the day?"

It turns out that the evidence of the crime is all true, not a false accusation.

Jia Lian also expected it, shook his head and said, "No matter whether it works out or not, I will go to Shangju to intercede with His Majesty, and the master of the Wang family will hear this news outside. At that time, maybe for the sake of the former Shi Linggong, the imperial court will change to a slightly more lenient treatment, and there is really no need to go to the execution ground."

Shi Nai said with relief: "It's all up to you, but please don't forget the friendship between the two families."

The prisoners at the intersection outside had been waiting for a long time, and the death row prisoners could not be allowed to visit, but the officials did not dare to stop them, so he naturally did not have the courage to come over and urge them.

……

After the visit, Jia Lian came out of the prison with his hands behind his back, thinking for a moment, and couldn't help but feel helpless.

Fu glanced back again, and his uncle Shi Naiyan taught by example, and he taught the affairs of the political envoy to serve vividly.

Shi Hou's family is now clean and completely gone.

Jia Lian turned around, got into the car with heavy steps, and headed towards the Allure Mansion.
