Hearing this, Jia Lian opened the window and asked:
"Who is coming from the Yamen? What happened?"
The boy who had something going on outside said quickly:
"When I came back to the second master, the person who came was the head catcher from the yamen. He said that the second master asked them to come back when there was news. He was waiting in the study outside."
Jia Lian heard this, said "I understand", turned around and got off the kang.
Just as he was about to ask Ping'er to come in and change clothes, Sister Feng had already caught up with her coat and said with a smile:
"I'm here to help you change your clothes. Isn't it better than Ping'er's little hooves?"
Jia Lian pinched Sister Feng's chin and said with a smile:
"Knowing that you are capable, you don't have to take away all Ping'er's jobs, right?"
Sister Feng suddenly hugged Jia Lian:
"I'm going to grab it.
Anyway, until I give birth to my son, I won’t allow her to touch you, and I won’t allow you to touch her.
After I give birth to my son and secure my position as the head of the house, I don’t care if you find a mistress.
Anyway, no matter how many wives you have, the sons they have will still call me mother."
Jia Lian couldn't help but smile:
"I know you are overbearing, but do you want to be so overbearing and unstoppable? Are you afraid that the world will not know that you are a tigress?"
Sister Feng put her fragrant and soft lips to Jia Lian's ear, imitating Jia Lian's ambiguous tone just now and said:
"Oh? Then please tell me carefully, how do people in the world know when I am the most domineering? And how domineering can I be?"
After that, he stretched out his soft and hot tongue and licked Jia Lian's ear.
This woman is so deadly!
.
As soon as Jia Lian entered the outer study, Tietouer came up and said:
"Master Jia, the villain is guarding Wanfang and the pawnshop, waiting for the loudspeaker to lure He Jin, the steward of Prince Zhongshun's palace.
But it wasn't until just now that he saw the loudspeaker rolling and crawling back, and He Jin ran away.
He said that he originally went to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion, but just as Prince Zhongshun was not at home, He Jin was preparing for the August Festival with Princess Zhongshun. Da Xiaokeng waited for a long time before he saw He Jin.
Big Speaker quickly followed the adults' instructions, saying that Lai Da went to Wanfanghe Pawnshop and took a lot of house deeds and land deeds from the Jia family to pawn them off. Ye Qiming did not dare to make the decision, so he asked He Jin to come over to discuss the matter.
He Jin was very happy after hearing this. He immediately arranged things in the house and followed the big speaker out.
However, when they were about half a mile away from the pawn shop, a family member of Prince Zhongshun's family suddenly came chasing after him on horseback. He said that the princess was seriously ill and asked He Jin to go back.
Big Speaker was afraid that Mr. Jia would not let him go, so he said that he was almost at the gate of Wanfanghe and wanted to persuade He Jinxian to go into the pawn shop and meet Ye Qiming. It was too late to discuss the rules and then go back.
He Jin was moved by the loudspeaker and was about to continue going to the pawn shop. The family member was also anxious and stepped forward to hold He Jin and said, "If Butler He doesn't go back now, Empress Wang Fa will not let you go." He Jin
Suddenly his expression changed, he immediately dropped the loudspeaker, grabbed the reins of his family's horse, and rode back to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion."
Jia Lian smiled when he heard this:
"Isn't this obvious? The Prince's loyal and obedient man has gained the trust, so he sent someone to immediately remove the firewood, lest we seize He Jin, and this matter is done."
Ironhead stamped his feet repeatedly:
"Sir, even if we catch Lai Da, Ye Qiming and Da Xiaoxiao, but if we don't catch He Jin, this case cannot be tried?"
Jia Lian calmly reached out and made a comforting gesture:
"If there is no He Jin, there is still Shan Ziye.
I'd like to trouble Tietou to take someone to Wanping County now and ask Lu Wuyuan, the magistrate of Wanping County, to immediately conduct a second trial of Shan Ziye's case. After the trial, he will submit the files and trial results.
I think there are not many manpower in Wanping County. Tietou may as well help from the side. When the people in Wanping County Yamen submit the documents, you can help them transport the prisoners to Shuntian Mansion Prison for custody.
I will go to the Yamen tomorrow to interrogate you personally."
Tietouer was originally worried about He Jin slipping through the net, but now seeing Jia Lian being so calm, he couldn't help but feel more at ease.
He is also an "old fritter" who has been working hard in the yamen for decades, and he has long understood what Jia Lian meant.
He said that he wanted to "help from the side", but he actually asked him to watch Wanping County Magistrate immediately conduct a second trial of the case, and watch Wanping County Magistrate hand over all the files and prisoners, and to watch Shan Ziye tightly to prevent others from killing people. Tietouer naturally knew that this was a serious matter, so he quickly answered "yes".
.
Jia Lian gave Tietou a few instructions, and when he saw him hurriedly going out to do things, the corners of Jia Lian's lips curled up slightly.
Jia Lian has his own plans for many things, which others cannot guess, which is normal.
Just like the fact that He Jin, the steward of Prince Zhongshun's palace, was not captured, others thought Jia Lian would be disappointed, but in fact Jia Lian was not disappointed.
Anyway, even if He Jin, the steward of Prince Zhongshun's palace, is captured, he cannot do anything to Prince Zhongshun, a popular figure in the eyes of the current emperor. It would be more practical to use this matter as a handle and exchange for some actual benefits.
Anyway, the Jia family is not the only one in the capital who is afraid of being embarrassed.
.
When it’s dinner time, how can Mother Jia have an appetite?
But she is the "backbone" of the entire Jia family. At this time, the Jia family is in troubled times, and it is a big taboo if people's hearts are unstable.
Therefore, no matter how unhappy the old lady felt, she had no choice but to sit alone on the couch in front of her as usual, with a row of tables set up below, and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law would serve her meals.
In fact, Jia Mu was not the only one who was feeling depressed but holding on strong at this time?
Although Mrs. Wang still abides by the etiquette of a daughter-in-law and feeds Jia Mu in a proper manner, Jia Mu is also as amiable and amiable to her as usual. However, precisely because they are like mirrors in their hearts, it is uncomfortable.
Only Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang understand that.
Widow Li Wan also brought rice to Jia Mu as usual, but she was also very uncomfortable.
Today, Mrs. Wang has to fast again, so she will not eat at Jia Mu's place, so after Li Wan has served Jia Mu for dinner, he has to wait for Mrs. Wang for dinner before he can go back to his room for dinner.
Although Jia Mu will not embarrass Li Wan, Mrs. Wang is acting out of character today, and she will not make it easy for her daughter-in-law Li Wan.
Just now when mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met in the courtyard, Mrs. Wang gave Li Wan a lesson with a stern face:
"Yesterday I met Lan Xiaozi's new nanny who was also very flirtatious. I didn't like her very much.
Lan Xiaozi is getting older and doesn’t need a nanny anymore. How about we ask her to go on her own and don’t stay in the house and act like a monster in the future?
You are Lan Xiaozi's mother, why are you so careless? If a good child is seduced by those goblins, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of the Jia family?"
Li Wan could only keep mumbling, full of grievances and nowhere to express them.
Jia Lan is less than ten years old, and although he has long stopped breastfeeding, the nanny he has followed since he was a child got sick last year, so he found a new nanny to take care of Jia Lan's daily life.
And this "new nanny" in Mrs. Wang's words has actually been in Jia's house for more than a year. It's just that Mrs. Wang didn't care about Jia Lan at all in the past, so she didn't know.
Moreover, this nanny is over thirty years old and works in the yard of the widow Li Wan. She always dresses as plainly as possible.
It's just that the day before yesterday, the nanny's younger brother got married, and she went back for a day. When she came back yesterday, she was still wearing the color of the family wedding dress, and she happened to be seen by Mrs. Wang.
A piece of Begonia red dress that is not old, but not old, becomes "very charming" in the eyes of Mrs. Wang.
And Li Wan, who devoted himself to his son Jia Lan day and night, also became a "careless" mother.
Alas - what is this?
On the other hand, only Wang Xifeng, who laid chopsticks for the old lady, felt extremely comfortable.
