Chapter 1142: A vicious plot to eliminate the treacherous servant, the turmoil is difficult to settle

As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is worse than providing timely help.

Jia Yucun saw that Su Mingzhe was a man of extraordinary knowledge and came up with the idea of ​​investing.

He immediately introduced himself to Su Mingzhe and asked him to address him as brother.

Su Mingzhe then realized that the Jinshi Jia Shifei in front of him was actually the ungrateful Jia Hua Jia Yucun!

Recalling the opening chapter of A Dream of Red Mansions, the part where Leng Zixing talks about Rongguo Mansion, Su Mingzhe's original plan to reorganize his family after one or two years immediately came to his mind.

After a moment, Su Mingzhe made up his mind and immediately pulled Jia Yucun's sleeve and said:
"Brother, your talent is far superior to mine. I will have to rely on you for my studies!"

Jia Yucun didn't know what Su Mingzhe was thinking, and since he also wanted to make friends, he immediately smiled and bowed, indicating that he would do his best.

Seeing that he agreed, Su Mingzhe turned to Jia Zheng and said:
"Master, although Brother Yucun wants to address me as his brother, the ancient etiquette cannot be abolished. Please prepare a banquet for us to become his apprentices and to determine our relationship!"

When Jia Yucun heard that Su Mingzhe wanted to become his disciple, he quickly declined, but he was very happy in his heart.

Jia Zheng was a bookworm who had become stupid because of reading too much. He always abided by the norms of etiquette and immediately ordered people to go to the kitchen to prepare a banquet.

Su Mingzhe knew that his plan was about to succeed. Thinking of Lin Daiyu who was still waiting for him in the backyard, he turned around and asked his servant Mingyan to pass on the message and explain the whole matter to her, asking her not to wait for him too long.

Soon, the banquet was ready.

As the host, Jia Zheng sat in the first seat, while Jia Yucun, as the guest of honor, sat slightly lower.

Four guests were also called to sit with him.

As a student who wanted to become an apprentice, Su Mingzhe could only sit at the end of the table.

Soon, three rounds of drinks were served.

For some unknown reason, Jia Yucun kept nagging more and more.

Just when everyone was drinking and having a good time.

Jia Yucun suddenly stood up shakily, walked in front of Su Mingzhe, and bowed directly, which scared everyone.

Jia Zheng hurriedly pulled him back and said with a wry smile:

"Sir, you must have made a mistake. The purpose of today's banquet is to ask this beast to worship you as his master. Why are you doing the opposite?"

Jia Yucun broke free from Jia Zheng's hold and shouted at the top of his voice:
"No, no!"

"Yucun is not here to pay respect to Brother Baoyu, but to apologize to Brother Baoyu!"

Jia Zheng and the four guests were all surprised when they heard this:
"Mr. Yucun and Baoyu only met for the first time today. Why should he apologize to him?"

Jia Yucun didn't know why, but he started talking uncontrollably:
"I dare not lie to you, old man. When I was in Yangzhou, I believed the rumors and spread them, ruining the reputation of Brother Baoyu. Today, when I saw Brother Baoyu in person, I realized that the rumors I believed before were really absurd. But the big mistake has been made. I, Jia Hua, have become an accomplice of that evil man and ruined the reputation of Brother Baoyu. Therefore, if I don't apologize to Brother Baoyu today, I will never be at peace!"

Jia Yucun said, his legs went weak and he knelt down to Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe accepted the kneeling with a clear conscience, and then pretended to be surprised and asked:
"Brother Yucun, you said that there are evil people out there who are destroying my reputation. Who is it that has such a deep hatred for me that he would be the enemy of a twelve-year-old child like me?"

Jia Yucun was already unconscious at this moment, and in a daze, he said:

"That evil man is none other than the son-in-law of your mother's maid, whose name is Leng Zixing. Jia Hua swears to heaven that if he tells a lie, he will be struck by lightning!"

Jia Zheng was still in shock, but Su Mingzhe was "as if he had lost his parents". He staggered and fell to the ground:
"Isn't Leng Zixing the son-in-law of Housekeeper Zhou? Why would he want to harm me like this... Could it be my mother..."

puff--

As Su Mingzhe spoke, he bit his tongue and a mouthful of blood spurted out. His body fell straight to the ground, shocking everyone.

Shan Pinren had the best relationship with Jia Baoyu before, so he pulled Jia Zheng and exclaimed:
"Old man, please call the doctor!"

Zhan Guang and Zhan Ziliang saw the opportunity quickly, knelt down beside Su Mingzhe and began to pinch his philtrum.

Soon, the servants outside were in chaos.

The ladies in the back house also knew about this.

When Grandmother Jia heard that her beloved grandson was so angry that he vomited blood, her body went limp and she almost fainted.

Mrs. Wang couldn't believe that the son-in-law of her maid Zhou Rui dared to spread rumors and slander her son.

But when she hurried to Rongxi Hall, she saw the drunk Jia Yucun swearing to the sky and describing the time and place of that day clearly. Jia's mother, who was supported from the backyard, happened to hear Jia Yucun's description that Leng Zixing said Jia Baoyu was "a pervert who was born, and must be a drunkard and a womanizer". She was already suffocating in her chest, and at this moment she could not help but be shocked and angry. Like Su Mingzhe, she fell to the ground and fainted.

Grandmother Jia is the sky of Rongguo Mansion.

Everyone saw that Lady Jia had fainted from anger, and they were all crying and wailing in a panic.

In the end, it was Wang Xifeng who followed and ordered her husband Jia Lian to first control Jia Rui's family, and then ordered someone to report to the authorities and arrest Leng Zixing.

At this time, the doctor invited by the servant came in and first gave Lady Jia a few injections to wake the old lady up, and then went to save Su Mingzhe.

Although Su Mingzhe was rescued.

However, his expression was dull and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul. He refused to eat or drink, and no medicine could cure him.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were heartbroken when they saw this.

After waking up, Grandmother Jia hugged her beloved grandson and cried bitterly.

In the end, Lin Daiyu lay on Su Mingzhe and cried until she couldn't breathe. Su Mingzhe felt sorry for Lin Daiyu's frail body, so he let out a cry, as if he had come back to his soul, with tears streaming from his eyes.

When everyone in the Jia family saw Su Mingzhe wake up, they hurried over to ask about his health.

Su Mingzhe continued to act as if he had just lost his temper, letting Lady Jia hold him in her arms. He said nothing, but just cried bitterly.

To be honest, as a Golden Immortal, Su Mingzhe also felt that it was somewhat embarrassing for him to be so pretentious.

However, thinking of the current situation of the Rong and Ning mansions, it would be difficult to correct the situation unless we take ruthless action next time.

So, Su Mingzhe gritted his teeth and continued to pretend to be distraught and wailed.

the other side.

Jia Lian arrested Jia Rui's family, and the government also arrested Leng Zixing's family.

As a result, the first trial of both parties did not matter, but they actually uncovered several major cases.

This was also Su Mingzhe's fault for making such a big fuss. After Leng Zixing and Jia Rui's family learned that Su Mingzhe was so angry that he vomited blood, in order to protect themselves, they simply told him all the dirty things they knew.

After hearing this, the prefect of Chang'an also felt that the situation was extremely difficult and did not dare to hide it.

Early the next morning.

The prefect then submitted a memorial and reported the matter to the current Emperor Longqing.

When Emperor Longqing saw it, his face immediately lit up with joy, and he quickly ordered someone to call the prefect of Chang'an into the palace.

Daming Palace, Linjing Hall.

Emperor Longqing asked the prefect of Chang'an to recount what happened and the details of the case.

When the prefect Jiang Li finished speaking, Emperor Longqing seemed to have heard a funny story and was already laughing so hard that he couldn't stop:
"Lord Jiang, you have worked hard to interrogate the evil slaves and profiteers at night, but I will also trouble you to accompany me to tell this matter to the old emperor!"

Today, the Daqing Dynasty has been established for five generations.

Emperor Taizu was wise and powerful. After unifying the country, he remained in power for more than 40 years and managed the country well and prosperously.

Emperor Renzong was a little worse, as he reigned for less than three years, but he was also very diligent and loved his people.

During the reign of the third Emperor Wuzong, not only were the Jurchens in the northeast causing trouble, but the Junggar tribe in the west also rebelled every other day.

Wuzong was exhausted from dealing with the situation, and died after ruling for more than 20 years.

After the retired emperor ascended the throne, in order to quell border threats, he launched three northern expeditions against the Jurchens, two western expeditions against the Junggars, and two campaigns to suppress Japanese pirates, leaving the national treasury empty and even the Crown Prince Yin was about to rebel.

The devastated emperor almost died.

Emperor Longqing accepted the throne at a time of crisis.

As a result, after Emperor Longqing had settled all the troubles, the retired emperor's condition actually improved and he took back the power of the government.

Emperor Longqing was bound by the principles of loyalty and filial piety and had to ask for instructions on everything to avoid the domineering behavior of the retired emperor.

When the prefect of Chang'an, Jiang Li, heard the emperor's order, he immediately guessed that the emperor was going to use the affairs of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion to stir up a huge disturbance!
However, he was the emperor's man, so he would support whatever the emperor asked him to do and immediately bowed to show that he accepted the emperor's order.
