It is said that Jia Zheng was having a banquet there, when he suddenly saw Lai Da hurried up to the Rongxi hall, and said back to Jia Zheng: "Master Zhao, the official of the Jinyi mansion, led several officers and said they came to pay a visit."The servant wants to take the title back and forth, Master Zhao said: We are the best, no need.He got out of the car and walked in.Master and men, please pick them up quickly.After hearing this, Jia Zheng thought to himself: Mr. Zhao has nothing to do with him, so why did he come?Now there is a guest, it is inconvenient to keep him, and it is not good not to stay.Just thinking about it, Jia Lian said, "Go quickly, uncle. If you think about it again, everyone has come in."Just as I was talking, I saw the family members of the second gate reporting in again, saying: Mr. Zhao has entered the second gate.Jia Zheng and others rushed to pick him up, only to see Tangguan Zhao walking up the hall without saying anything, smiling all over his face.Followed by five or six officers, some of them recognized and some did not, but they never answered.Jia Zheng and others couldn't make up their minds, so they had to follow up and give up their seats.Some of the relatives and friends also recognized Tangguan Zhao, seeing that he was looking up and ignoring others, he just held Jia Zheng's hand and said a few warm words with a smile.Seeing that the background was not good, some people hid in the inner room, and some stood there with their hands down.

Just as Jia Zheng was about to talk with a smile, his family members reported in a panic: Prince Xiping has arrived.Jia Zheng went to pick him up in a hurry, and saw the prince come in.Zhao Tangguan went up to greet Ann, and said: "The prince has arrived, and all the masters who come with you should lead the servants to guard the front and back doors."The officials responded and went out.Jia Zheng and other governors were not good, so they knelt down to pick them up.The king of Xiping County raised him up with both hands, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to do lightly if you have nothing to do. If there is an order to handle the matter, you must pardon the old man and accept the order."Now that the banquet is still full in the hall, it is inconvenient to have relatives and friends here, and all relatives and friends in the house are invited to separate, and the people in the house are left alone to wait.Zhao Tangguan replied: "Although the prince is gracious, but the matter in the east, this prince is serious, and it seems that the door has already been closed."Everyone knows that there is a relationship between the two governments, and they wish they could get away.I saw the prince smiled and said: "Everyone, just please, call someone to send it out for me, and tell the officials of Jinyi Mansion that these are relatives and friends, there is no need to interrogate them, let them out quickly."When those relatives and friends heard it, they left like flying.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were the only ones who were so scared that their faces turned ashen and their bodies trembled.

Not once more, I saw countless servants coming in, guarded at each gate, and everyone in the house waited for a step and couldn't walk around.Zhao Tangguan then turned his face and said back to the prince: "Please declare the will, so it's easy to do it."These fan servants stretched their clothes and arms, waiting for the will.King Xiping said slowly: Xiao Wang has ordered Zhao Quan from the Jinyi Mansion to inspect Jia Amnesty's family property.When Jia Amnesty and others heard this, they all fell to the ground.The prince stood on top and said, "There is a decree: Jia pardons the foreign officials, bullies the weak according to the situation, fails my kindness, has the virtue of ancestors, and resigns."This is it.Zhao Tangguan shouted: "Take Jia Amnesty, and the rest will be guarded."In Weishi, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Zhi, and Jia Lan were all there, but Baoyu assumed that he was sick and played around with Jia's mother. Jia Huan was not very popular at first. , so I will keep a few people in check now.Zhao Tangguan then asked his family members to pass on the officials of Qi to take the same guards, separately mortgage the houses, and search and record the accounts.It didn't matter what he said, it made Jia Zheng's subordinates look at each other, and the family members of Fanyu were so happy that they were ready to move everywhere.The King of Xiping said: "If you hear that Mr. She and Mr. Zheng are in the same room, you should follow the order to check Jia She's family assets, and the rest will be sealed off according to the house. We will go back and wait for a decision."Zhao Tangguan stood up and said: "Go back to the lord, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng have not separated. I heard that his nephew Jia Lian is now the chief housekeeper, so he has to check it out."King Xiping listened, but said nothing.Zhao Tangguan then said: "Jia Lian and Jia Amnesty must be led by slaves to search them."King Xiping said: "Don't be busy, send the letter first and then go home, and ask the family members to avoid it, and it will not be too late to check."Without saying a word, the slaves of the old Zhao family had already led the family members of the house to lead the way, and went to search separately.The prince ordered: No noise!Wait for Benjue to check it out by himself.Then he stood up slowly to go, and ordered: "No one with me is allowed to move, and all stand here and wait for me, and when we come back, we will watch and count together."

Just as he was talking, the officer in brocade clothes knelt down and said, "I found the imperial dress and many prohibited items inside, and I dare not move it without authorization. Come back and ask the prince for instructions."Once, another group of people came to stop the prince, and they said: Dongkua copied two boxes of house title deeds and another box of borrowing notes, but they were all illegal interest.Old Zhao said: What a usury!It should be copied in full!Please sit down here, the prince, and ask the slaves to copy them all, and wait for a decision.As he said that, Shi Lai, the head of the palace, reported: "The gatekeepers came in and said that the lord specially ordered the king of Beijing to come here to announce the decree, please take it."After hearing this, Zhao Tangguan liked to say in his heart: I am so unlucky to meet this sour king.Now that that person is here, I'm just like Shiwei.As he thought about it, he came out too.

Seeing that King Beijing had arrived in the hall, he stood outside and said: "There is a decree, and Zhao Quan of Jinyi Mansion listens to the announcement."Said: According to the decree: the official in brocade clothes only mentions the interrogation of Jia's amnesty, and I hand it over to the king of Xiping to investigate and deal with it according to the decree.This is it.King Xiping took it, and he didn't like it so much, so he sat down with King Beijing, and Zhao Tangguan took Jia Amnesty back to the Yamen.Those who searched inside came out together when they heard that the king of Beijing had arrived, and when they heard that the official Zhao Tang had left, they were bored, so they had to stand and wait.The king of Beijing Jing selected two honest officials and a dozen old guards, and all the rest were expelled.King Xiping said: I am angry with Lao Zhao.Fortunately, the prince came to issue an order, otherwise, this place would suffer a lot.King Beijing said: I heard that the prince searched Jia's house by order in the court.Unexpectedly, Lao Zhao is such an asshole.But I don't know where Zheng Lao and Baoyu are now, and what's going on inside?All the people reported: Jia Zheng waited in the servant's room to watch, and there was already a mess of plagiarism inside.The king of Beijing Jing ordered the staff: quickly bring Jia Zheng for questioning.Everyone took orders and brought them up.Jia Zheng knelt down to pay his respects, begging for mercy with tears in his eyes.King Beijing stood up and pulled, saying: Don't worry, Mr. Zheng.Then he spoke his will.Jia Zheng was grateful, Wang Bei thanked him again, and still came up to wait.The prince said: "Old Zheng, when Lao Zhao was here just now, the fan servants reported forbidden things and owed a lot of money. We couldn't hide it."This prohibited thing was originally made for the noble concubine, and we declare that it is fine.Only borrowing coupons, think of a way to do it.Now that the elders of the government and their officials are actually presenting the family property of the amnesty, that's all. Don't hide any more and commit crimes yourself.Jia Zheng promised, "I dare not commit crimes again."However, the prisoner's grandfather's inheritance has not been divided, but what is in the house where each person lives is his own.The two kings said: "It's okay, just hand over everything on the old man's side."He also ordered the officers to wait as ordered and not to move indiscriminately.The officer took the order and went.

Besides, the family members of Jia Mu's side also had a family banquet, and Mrs. Wang was saying over there: "Baoyu doesn't go outside, I'm afraid his father will be angry."Sister Feng whimpered sickly and said, "I don't think Baoyu is afraid of people. He sees that there are many people accompanying guests in front of him, so there are some people here to take care of him."If the master thinks that there are few people there to take care of him, the wife will give Brother Bao out, wouldn't it be good?Jia Mu laughed and said, "Young girl Feng is so ill, her mouth is still so sharp."Just as I was talking about being happy, I heard people from Mrs. Xing's side keep yelling in and said: "Old lady, madam, it's not too bad!"More or less strong robbers in boots and hats came, rummaging through boxes and boxes to get things.Mother Jia waited in a daze.Seeing Ping'er with disheveled hair, he pulled Qiaojie and cried, "It's not good!"I was having dinner with my sister when I saw Laiwang being tied in and said, "Miss, quickly pass it in and ask the ladies to stay away, the prince outside will come in to search the property!"I was busy listening, and was about to go into the room to get something important, when I was pushed out by a group of people.We should wear the belt here and pack it up quickly.When Wang, Mrs. Xing and others heard this, their souls flew into the sky, and they didn't know what to do.I saw that Sister Feng opened her eyes and listened, but then she fell to the ground and died.Before Jiamu finished listening, she was so frightened that she burst into tears and couldn't even speak.At that time, a room full of people pulling one another and that one was making a commotion, and then heard a series of voices shouting: Tell the female relatives inside to stay away, the prince has come in!

Poor Baochai, Baoyu, etc. were helpless, and when the girls and women on the ground were lifting and chattering around, Jia Lian ran in panting and said, "Okay, okay!"Fortunately, the prince saved us!Everyone was about to ask him, when Jia Lian saw Sister Feng dying on the ground, crying and screaming, and was afraid that the old lady would be frightened, so she was in a hurry to die.Fortunately, Ping'er woke up Sister Feng and asked people to help her. The old lady also came back to her breath, and lay down on the kang so short of breath and fainted from crying.Li Wan comforted him again and again.Then Jia Lian calmed down and explained the grace of the two kings, lest Jia's mother and Mrs. Xing would bluff to death if they knew that Jia Amnesty had been taken, so they didn't dare to say it clearly for the time being, so they had to come out to take care of their own house.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the box was opened and the cabinet was broken, and the items were snatched half empty.At this time, he was so anxious that his eyes stood upright, and he was in a daze with tears.Hearing calls from outside, he had to come out.Seeing the registered objects of Jia Zhengtong, one of them reported: There are a total of 123 pieces of red gold jewelry, complete with jewelry.Thirteen pearl hangings, two light gold plates, two pairs of gold bowls, two gold bowls, forty gold spoons, eighty silver bowls, twenty silver plates, two gold-inlaid ivory tendons, and gold-plated handles Four pots, three pairs of gold-plated folding bowls, two saucers, seventy-six silver saucers, and thirty-six silver wine glasses.Eighteen pieces of black fox skins, six pieces of green fox skins, thirty-six pieces of mink skins, thirty pieces of yellow fox skins, twelve pieces of lynx catkin skins, three pieces of hemp leaf skins, sixty pieces of cement gray skins, and forty pieces of gray fox skins Zhang, twenty pieces of maroon sheepskin, two pieces of raccoon skin, two handfuls of yellow fox legs, twenty yuan of small white fox fur, thirty degrees of foreign wool, twenty-three degrees of biji, twelve degrees of velvet, and ten pieces of sweet mouse bobbins Four squares of kangaroo skin, one roll of velvet, one side of merino skin, two pieces of cloud fox skin, one roll of raccoon cub skin, seven handfuls of duck skin, one hundred and sixty pieces of squirrel skin, eight pieces of badger skin, six tiger skins Zhang, three seals, sixteen sea dragons, forty gray sheep, sixty-three black sheepskins, ten pairs of Yuanhu hat brims, twelve pairs of Japanese knife hat brims, two pairs of mink hat brims, sixteen small fox skins Zhang, two pieces of Jiang raccoon skin, two pieces of rex skin, thirty-five pieces of cat skin, twelve degrees of Japanese stock, 130 rolls of silk and satin, 181 rolls of silk silk, 32 rolls of crepe with feather thread, Thirty volumes of bamboo, eight volumes of makeup and python satin, three bundles of Gebu, three bundles of cloth of various colors, 132 pieces of leather garments of various colors, and 340 pieces of cotton-padded single-gauze silk garments.Thirty-two pieces of jade playthings, nine sets of heads, more than five hundred pieces of copper and tin, eighteen clocks and watches, nine hanging beads, thirty-four pieces of makeup pythons of various colors, three pieces of python satin used to meet the hands and backs, palace makeup clothes Eight sets of skirts, one fat jade circle belt, and twelve rolls of yellow satin.Five thousand two hundred taels of tidal silver, fifty taels of red gold, and seven thousand taels of money.All the use of guys to save nails for registration, as well as the grants of Rongguo, are listed one by one.

His real estate deed paper and family documents are also sealed. Jia Lian eavesdropped beside him, but he didn't hear what was reported to him, and he was wondering.I only heard that the princes of the two families asked Jia Zheng: "There are coupons in the stolen property, which is really exploitative. Who did it?"It is better for the political elders to be truthful.After hearing this, Jia Zheng knelt down to meet each other and said, "It's true that the prisoner doesn't take care of housework. He doesn't know about these things. Ask Jia Lian, the prisoner's nephew."Jia Lian hurried up and knelt down, and said, "since this box of documents was copied out of the servant's house, dare you say you don't know?"I just ask the prince to show mercy, but the slave uncle doesn't know about it.The two kings said: "Your father has been convicted, so you can only handle the case together."Now that you admit it, it is also reasonable.In this way, Jia Lian was asked to guard, and the rest were scattered and collected in the house.Mr. Zheng, you must be careful when waiting for orders.We went into the internal review.There are guards here.Say, get on the sedan chair and go out.Jia Zheng waited on his knees at the second gate to see him off.King Beijing Jing stretched out his hand and said: Please rest assured.I felt a look of embarrassment on my face.

At this time, Jia Zheng's soul was fixed, and he was still in a daze.Jia Lan then said, "Grandpa, please come in and see the old lady, and then try to find out about the affairs of the East Mansion."Jia Zhengji hurriedly got up and went inside.I saw women in a mess at every door, and I didn't know what to do.Jia Zheng didn't care to inquire, until he went to Jia Mu's room, he saw everyone's face was full of tears, Mrs. Wang, Baoyu and others surrounded Jia Mu, silent and weeping.Only Mrs. Xing was crying.Seeing Jia Zheng coming in, they all said, "Okay, okay!"Then he told the old lady: "The master is still coming in well, please rest assured, the old lady."Mother Jia was dying, opened her eyes slightly, and said, "My son, I don't want to see you again!"Without a word, he burst into tears.So everyone in the room couldn't stop crying.Jia Zheng was afraid of crying and ruining his mother, so he stopped his tears and said, "Don't worry, old lady."Originally, the matter was not small, but thanks to the grace of the Lord, the grace of the two princes, I am extremely sympathetic.It's just that the old man is temporarily holding the question, and when the question is clear, the Lord still has grace.Now some of the family is not moving.When Jia Mu saw that Jia Amnesty was not there, she became sad again. Jia Zheng comforted Fang Zhi repeatedly.

No one dared to disperse, Mrs. Du Xing went back to her side, and saw that the door was always locked, and the maids and mothers-in-law were also locked in several rooms.Mrs. Xing had nowhere to go, so she burst into tears and had to go to Sister Feng.Seeing that the house next to the second door is also sealed, only the door of the house is open, and there is no end to whimpering inside.Mrs. Xing went in and saw Sister Feng lying with her eyes closed, her face ashen as paper, and Ping'er crying secretly beside her.Mrs. Xing looked at Sister Feng's death and cried again.Ping'er greeted her and said, "Madam, don't cry."Grandma felt as if she was dead when she was carried back. Fortunately, she rested for a while. Su came over and cried a few times.Madam, please calm down.But what happened to the old lady?Mrs. Xing didn't answer, but went to Jiamu's side.Seeing all Jia Zheng's people in front of him, his wife is detained, his daughter-in-law is critically ill, and his daughter is suffering. Now he has nothing to return to, so he can live there.Everyone comforted, Li Wan and others ordered the house to be cleaned up, Mrs. Xing was invited to stay temporarily, and Mrs. Wang sent someone to take care of her. Jia Zheng was outside, terrified, rubbing his beard and hands, waiting for the order.I heard the guards shouting outside: Which side are you on?Since it happened to us, it was recorded in this book.Tether him and hand it over to the men in Jinyi Mansion inside!When Jia Zheng went out to look around, he saw Jiao Da, and said, "Why are you here?"When Jiao Da asked, he burst into tears and said, "I persuade these unprogressive men every day, and treat me as an enemy."Master Lian still doesn't know how much Jiao Da suffered with his grandfather!Get this field today!What are the names of Uncle Zhen and Brother Rong? Woke up.All were copied out and put on hold, the wooden utensils were nailed to pieces, and the porcelain utensils were smashed to pieces.They're still chaining me up.I lived to be eighty or ninety years old, and I was the only one who tied people up with my grandfather, and I was tied up there!I said I was from Xifu and ran out.Those people didn't agree, they were held here, and they didn't want to do the same here.I don't want to die now, let's fight those people!He said bumping his head.When the servants saw that he was old, and it was the orders of the two kings, they did not dare to be harsh, so they said, "You old man, please be quiet, this is a matter of order."You just rest here and listen to the letter.Jia Zheng heard that, although he ignored him, his heart was twisted, and he said, "It's over, it's over!"Unexpectedly, we failed miserably! I was anxiously waiting for the internal letter, only to see Xue Biao running in angrily and saying: It's so easy to come in!Where is my uncle?Jia Zhengdao: "It's good to come, but how did you let it in from outside?"Xue Biao said: "I have repeatedly said that I will allow them money, so I can come in and out."Jia Zheng told him what had been copied, and went to inquire about it, saying, "There are good relatives, and it's inconvenient to send letters in the fire. It's easy for you to communicate."Xue Biao said: "I can't think of what happened here; I have heard about what happened in Dongfu over there. It's over."Jia Zheng said, "what's the crime?"Xue Biao said: "Now I'm inquiring about the execution of my brother. I heard that there are two censors in the yamen. I heard that Uncle Zhen lured the children of the family to gamble. If the woman refuses to obey, she will be tortured to death.I'm afraid the censor is not allowed, so he also took our family's Bao Er, and pulled out another one surnamed Zhang.I'm afraid even the Metropolitan Procuratorate is wrong, because the surname Zhang once sued.Before Jia Zheng had finished listening, he stomped his feet and said, "Amazing!"That's all, that's all!He sighed, and burst into tears. Xue Biao said a few words of relief, even if he came out to inquire again.After half a day, he still came in and said, "things are not good."I inquired in the criminal department, but I didn't hear the letter of the two kings' reply, but I heard that Li Yushi participated in the Pingan Prefecture this morning to flatter the officials in the capital, cater to the superiors, and abuse the people, and spent a lot of money.Jia Zheng panicked, "Then how about meddling in other people's affairs and asking about us?"Xue Biao said: "It is said that it is Ping'an Prefecture, there are us, and the Beijing official who participated is Mr. She."It's about champering lawsuits, so it adds fuel to the fire.Those officials in the same dynasty are all in hiding, so who is willing to send letters?Just like these relatives and friends who just left, some went home, and some stopped to inquire from afar.I hate those noble families who said on the road that the meritorious deeds cast down by the ancestors have caused troubles, and I don't know where it will fly, so everyone can show their power.Jia Zheng didn't finish listening, so he paused again and said: "It's because our uncle is so confused, and the Dongfu is too incompetent!"Now the old lady and Lian's daughter-in-law are dead or alive, I don't know yet.You can inquire again, I will go to the old lady to have a look.If you have faith, it is better to be able to go one step earlier.As I was talking, I heard shouts from inside saying: The old lady is not good!Jia Zheng was so anxious that he hurried in.I don't know how to live or die, and I will break it down next time.
