Chapter 333: The Prison Hope of a Confidante
In a dark place, in a wet and cold passage, a eunuch stepped on the clouds and came to deliver the decree.
"The saint's edict: His person Jia Lian did not repent, disrespected the temple, and committed such evil deeds in the daytime with a sinful body, so he removed all the positions and titles in the court and handed them over to the criminal department for further questioning."
These words shook the heads of the ruffians in the cells on both sides.
And Jia Lian had expected this since he entered the Five Cities Terracotta Division, but he didn't raise his head when he heard it.
After Eunuch Xia arrived and passed on the decree, he changed his usual appearance of coming and going in a hurry and not letting people in, and then he came to the edge of the fence where Jia Lian was imprisoned, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, when the uncle was in Nanjing, he was also kind to the villain, but what do you have to take to the Allure Mansion?" I can't say that the thirteen eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are going to take back that place when they are free."
The meaning of these words is just that I want to go to the Allure Mansion to fight the autumn breeze.
Jia Lian sat on a shabby mat, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered: "Xia Shouzhong is really heavy-handed, the Sprinkle family wants the bell to be imprisoned sooner or later, but he is first. Now it's just a matter of what to do with it, and I don't have a penny of silver for you."
Xia Shouzhong listened, shook his head, threw up his sleeves and walked out.
As soon as the messenger left, the door at the end of the passage shut, and the edge of the cell suddenly became gloomy, except for a faint candle flickering on the wall.
The Five Cities Terracotta Division is responsible for the security of the Beijing Division, and the internal cells are simple, and the people who are imprisoned on weekdays are just some ruffians and hooligans.
Jia Lian is here now, but he has a special place to squat and listen to the rats in the corner.
Soon after Xia Shouzhong left, Sister Feng brought a few people to visit, and now the title has not been taken away, crying, complaining, discussing how to deal with the court, and then reluctantly left.
Then it was Jia Zheng, the second old man who had been back to Beijing for a while.
This one can be regarded as busy now, not only preparing to go to the sixth ministry to serve, but also to help take care of the funerals of Ning Rong and the two mansions, and to ask the old lady for guilt, and today he was invited by Sister Feng to visit the prison together.
When Jia Zheng saw Jia Lian, he sighed and sighed.
After two years away from Beijing as an official, such a major event happened, and the heirs of Ningrong and the two mansions died on the same day, so what do he say.
Jia Lian is a person who has always been persuading, and after Jia Zheng said a few words that he didn't know what to say, he hurriedly walked out.
After that, no one came to visit.
I don't know how long I waited in the cell before the jailer brought a lunch box.
Obviously, who paid the money, and the dishes were sumptuous, so they brought it from the restaurant outside.
After a few days, all the people who should come to visit have already come, and occasionally the chief of the Terracotta Division of the Five Cities will accompany the officials of the Criminal Department to talk, and also ask Jia Lian to learn about the situation in the DPRK and China.
The Allure Mansion was really gone, and the court took away his position, demoted him to a concubine, and took back the Imperial Palace.
Fortunately, the crime was not enough to ask the guilty family, Sister Feng scattered most of the slaves, lived in another property in Shuiliangfang, refused to go back to Rongguo Mansion, and refused to listen to Jia Lian's persuasion to go back to Jinling directly.
She either waited for Jia Lian to be released from prison, or waited to help Jia Lian collect her body.
On this day, the door at the end of the passage was opened again, because it was not the time to deliver food, which inevitably involved the attention of the left and right cells, and I did not know who was coming to visit the prison, or which of the same people wanted to move in.
Jia Lian also got up from the mat and squinted outside.
Just one glance made him sober, and his face was full of surprise.
"Third sister?"
killed Jia Zhen, You hates him to the bone, how can the third sister still come to see him?
Because she is alone, Third Sister You's face is not to mention, and she is a gorgeous figure that is not as good as ten thousand people, seeing her coming here, anyway, when the jailers don't care about things, the pungent detainees on both sides are rarely allowed to use foul language and flirt.
Third Sister You turned a deaf ear, carried the lunch box to Jia Lian's cell and fell.
The trivial sounds around it faded away.
Jia Lian got up and came forward, he was at a loss for a while, and he couldn't speak like he had ever spoken, and he couldn't be sharp.
"Three
…… The third sister is still willing to come to see me?"
killed Jia Zhen, he was happy, but he hurt You Shi, and he couldn't stand Third Sister You, so it was so embarrassing to make people meet.
Third Sister You looked at Jia Lian like this, and was about to speak, tears rolled down her eyes, and she quickly wiped her face away, only to smile reluctantly: "Originally, I didn't mean to cry, because if Jia Zhen cried for something, it would be too unworthy, if it was for the second master of Lian, it would be meaningless." As the saying goes, bystanders are clear, in the past few days, I have heard that Jia Yu, the eldest lord of Rongfu, was angry to death by Jia Zhen of Ningfu, so that people can understand everything, Second Master Lian is such a person, how can he be willing to listen to me crying and say that he regrets it for you?"
Jia Lian didn't have time to reply, so Third Sister You said again, "I must be clearer than others to see Second Master Lian! You and the people of Ning Rong are different, and they have always been."
Jia Lian couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this: "If you are willing to blame me for making people feel better, what are these?"
If it is said that it is all because the eldest lord Jia Yu died, he went to Ningfu to find someone to take revenge, then it is not right, after all, he probably has a part in the death of the eldest lord.
It's just that the things around me have been so aggrieved that people's hearts and livers are about to burst. When it is over, I have to take care of the relatives of the two provinces, the kindness of the old man, and the pity of the You family, so it is inevitable that the bull's nose is right, and he will suffer from the sinking and hardship of this red dust.
So Jia Zhen killed it cleanly.
It's clean right now, too.
Tell him to make a sword box in his skull, it's really clean!
Is there really nothing to regret?
Seeing that Jia Lian was silent and didn't speak, Third Sister You smiled, handed over the food box, and said, "I know that even if Second Master Lian is in prison, he will not be short of use at this time, so I only made three small dishes and sent them to me, and I will take them away when you eat."
She had already made a lot of money when she came, and she could keep it for a while.
Jia Lian took the wine and food, but he didn't worry about anything, he opened it on the spot and took it, only to see that there were indeed only three plates of warm side dishes inside, plus a bottle of wine, a glass, and that's it.
Dragging the shabby mat, Jia Lian put the wine and food on the lunch box, and was sitting to enjoy it, when he suddenly looked up and saw that Third Sister You was still looking quietly, so he simply said, "Third Sister is using some together?"
Jia Lian handed the glass and held the wine bottle in the other hand.
Third Sister You nodded, squatted down slightly, and pointed to the mat under Jia Lian.
Jia Lian immediately understood, moved his buttocks, divided half of it, and stuffed it under the fence.
Third Sister You learned from Jia Lian to sit down, raised her glass, and Jia Lian immediately filled it.
The actions of the two of them were as appropriate as flowing water, Jia Lian ate the wine, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It can be seen that I didn't say the wrong thing when I first saw it, and the third sister turned out to be a rare confidant."
Third Sister You said a lot before, but now she quieted down, just ate a cup of food by herself, and raised a glass again.
Now the bottle has been stained.
Jia Lian saw that the third sister was still holding the empty cup and shaking, and after looking left and right, she shook her head and smiled, and helped her to fill it up, and said, "I know that the third sister lives in that place comfortably, but I don't know what kind of work I have been doing recently?"
Third Sister You didn't want to say anything more, but because of Jia Lian's words, her eyes still smiled like a half moon, and she ate half a cup of wine and said: "The gold and silver given by the Qin family back then were still saved and not used up, and with the capital, they helped others wear gold silk to make clothes every day, and the cost was very sufficient, of course, it was comfortable, and it was good for me to live for another hundred or more years."
It turned out that Jia Lian also understood her.
My daughter's family is isolated and self-reliant, and she has been here for so many years, and she is lonely, how can she still want to go back? The eldest sister just didn't understand her insistence on this, so she felt pitiful.
The two chatted, and before they knew it, they had already eaten all the food and wine.
Jia Lian took the plate, Third Sister You collected the box, and stood up together with the two of them.
"Second Master Lian, it's good to tell you something."
In the end, it was time to go, Third Sister You held the lunch box, and only leaned over slightly as she came.
Jia Lian hurriedly turned his ear over, listened to the whispers, and his face was slightly moved.
"Third sister?"
"You have to hide my name and my sister's name carefully, otherwise you will never be spared!"
Third Sister You smiled like a flower, blinked boldly at Jia Lian, and left with the food box.
Jia Lian was behind, so he had to roll up the mat without saying a word, and then go back to lie down.
The name of the daughter's family has always been known only to those close to her, just like Sister Feng's housekeeper, people inside and outside the Allure Mansion, who only know that Mrs. Wang's surname is Wang, and she has also become a Mrs. Wang. The senior person in the inner house is like Mama Zhao, and she is also called a second grandmother and a grandmother Feng, that's all. Only those who come from the Wang family to marry and accompany the house can know the name Xifeng.
Jia Lian is the same, in the past, he didn't know the names of the three You sisters, and he didn't have to explore them.
Now that the third sister of Leng Buding You said it first, she was also caught off guard by the second sister You who passed away.
"Good name."
Jia Lian muttered two sentences of the name of this confidante, turned his head and fell asleep.
…………
Whoever has a big dream is the first to know, I know it in my life.
In a blink of an eye, Jia Lian looked at the time of delivering the meal, estimated the situation of living in the cell for another two days, and finally heard the arraignment of the imperial court.
To tell the truth, although he committed a heinous crime and was ashamed of the emperor, if he really wanted to go to the vegetable market to ask for beheading, he couldn't agree to it anyway, and he had to make another plan to live.
Fortunately, there will be afterglow in the house of goodness, and it is not yet the last resort.
Jia Lian stabbed Jia Yucun, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Jia Zhen, the hereditary general of the Ningguo Mansion, and intended to murder Prince Zhongshun. After the three divisions tried the case, remembering that he had contributed to the court in the past and had the name of avenging his father, everything could be accommodated, so he only took away his title, was demoted to a concubine, and had a staff of eighty, and was assigned to the northwest to fill the army, and he was not allowed to return.
And because Duan Huangui, the general of Zhenbei, intervened to intercede, the staff of eighty was also exempted, and he only waited for Duan Huangui to be a pawn when he left Beijing, and went to the West Sea with him.
Jia Lian was imprisoned for many days, and finally saw the light of day again.
When I came down to the court, I was busy coming to meet Duan Huangui, the general of Zhenbei.
If it weren't for the intervention of this one, if the level of light staff eighty was deliberately broken, even the iron cast person would have been scrapped.
Duan Huangui was also busy sneaking over, and when he saw Jia Lian, he said, "Needless to say, if it weren't for Jia Zhen's accusation of your unfilial piety first, and Jia Yu's testimony later, your name of avenging your father was not so easy to be accommodated, so I could follow and ask for this bargain." In the past few days, it has been more stable in Beijing, and there is a place on the frontier where you will die."
Jia Lian was happy for a moment because he didn't have to be sent to death prison, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be dull again, so he had to nod yes and quit.
In the distance, there was a burst of firecrackers.
The end of the year is approaching.
