Shipin Dalizheng
Chapter 164 Snowflake Dagger
He couldn't leave for the time being. Jin Shizhao was in dire straits, and if he left at this moment, he would still be forced to go and plead for Jin Shizhao. It wasn't that he was afraid of Old Lady Yang and would be forced to go by her, but if he didn't go, the world would automatically label him as unfilial.
Human hearts are strange. When Jin Shizhao oppressed him, people sympathized with him, but when Jin Shizhao was in trouble, he had to do his best to rescue him. This is fucking filial piety.
As soon as Nangong Jing came out, he announced that the young masters of these six families had ignored the strict laws and fought in the cells, which was an aggravated crime. There was no chance of them being released for the time being.
Old Mrs. Yang almost cried herself hoarse. As an old woman, she had no other choice but to beg for help everywhere.
She first went to the Tang family, but Tang Xunze immediately turned hostile, refused to acknowledge the engagement between the two illegitimate sons and daughters, and drove her out.
She went to Prince Rui's mansion again, and the Chief Historian of Punishment told him that Prince Rui had done his best for his family and asked her not to come again.
It was completely dark and he had cried all his tears when he returned to the Minister's Mansion. The official plaque on the gate had been taken away, and the mansion was in a mess. The study and bedroom had been dug up.
Old Yang entered her own courtyard. Young Yang and her son and daughter waited pitifully. The other concubines and illegitimate children also looked at her eagerly, "Mother-in-law..."
"grandmother……"
"How is it, can Dad (Master) be saved?"
Old Mrs. Yang looked at the useless people in the yard who could only cry and wait, leaned back and acted decisively.
She had pretended to faint countless times before, but this time she failed and had a stroke.
In the neighboring uncle's house, after hearing that Jin Shizhao had been arrested, the old men all quietly returned to Rongjia Village and pretended that they had never been to the capital.
Rong Xiu also listened to Butler Tao and closed the door tightly, refusing to open it no matter who called her.
At the same time, the Sima family had been silent for two days. After that incident, they were also waiting for an outcome to see whether the Jian'an Earl's Mansion would take the opportunity to cancel the engagement.
After all, parents are getting a divorce, which is a big deal in any family. If the Rong family really breaks off the engagement, Mrs. Tang will inevitably consider putting herself in a difficult position and living with it.
After waiting for a long time, no one came to cancel the engagement, and Prince Rong was thrown into jail by his father.
Madam Sima scolded her daughter again, "Look, this is the trouble your impulsiveness has brought upon Prince Rong. You asked him to help keep Tiantian's dowry. If he didn't want to ruin Tiantian's reputation, he had no choice but to admit that he was blackmailing her and ruining his own reputation. Now Jin Shizhao is using this as a pretext to sue him. Disobedience and unfilial behavior are serious crimes, and he will be beaten to death."
Mrs. Tang also regretted it. "I, I will go to Jingzhao Prefecture to guard it. If the prefect wants to beat him, I will come forward to clarify the facts."
The old lady of the Sima family sighed and sent all the daughters-in-law out to visit various places to confuse public opinion and turn the tide into the claim that Jin Shizhao was after wealth and wanted to kill his son.
As a result, there was no news about what happened to Rong Tang. Instead, several sons of noble families were imprisoned before him, which attracted most of the attention of the onlookers. It was very magical.
Tang Fuyun returned to Sima's house that night. He was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he lay down, completely unaware of what had happened.
When he woke up the next day, he heard his uncle say that his mother didn't want to live with his father anymore, so he asked, "Will my uncle let me live in the Sima family?"
Sima Xin patted his chest and said, "My uncle will support you three."
Tang Fuyun smiled innocently, "When I have money, I will buy a big house for my mother."
At once……
Going on a mission.
Going on a mission!
Tang Fuyun only found some time to visit his brother-in-law on the second night after Rong Tang was imprisoned. He didn't have much money and didn't buy any gifts. In the eyes of others, he was visiting the prison empty-handed.
The five royalist gang members had no time to pay attention to him. They just gave him a look of disdain and continued playing cards. They were all smart people and didn't want to bother with a fool.
Tang Fuyun entered Rong Tang's cage, found a place to sit down, and asked him, "Do you want to go out?"
Rong Tang spread his hands and said, "It's locked, I can't get out. But it's okay, you came just in time, I have something for you."
He felt in his sleeve, and Tang Fuyun also felt in his sleeve, and together they felt something out.
Rong Tang held a piece of paper in his hand. "Here is a blueprint of a fan. Please make it for me..."
Tang Fuyun held a dagger in his hand, and with lightning speed, he chopped at the iron chain on Rong Tang's hand. With a "crack" sound...
Rong Tang stared at the broken chain with bulging eyes, staring at him, "You want to break out of prison?"
Tang Fuyun licked his lips and said, "It's unlocked now."
Gu Zhongxun is the best in martial arts among the five card-playing group. In fact, even if he is not good at martial arts, as long as he is not deaf, he can hear the "loud" noise.
They all looked over curiously, "Prince Rong, what's going on? What's that noise?"
Rong Tang grabbed the broken end of the chain with one hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, play as you please. I'll teach you a new way tomorrow."
After everyone turned their attention back to the cards, Rong Tang gritted his teeth and whispered, "Brother, jailbreaking is illegal. You'll kill me and you too."
Tang Fuyun lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I thought you could get out without the chain."
Rong Tang was overwhelmed. This kid was smart, but he could also be really stupid. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you succeed in smelting the iron?"
"The masters all said it was good. I took a piece of iron and hammered it over and over until I made a dagger for you."
He pushed the dagger forward, and Rong Tang gasped as he looked at the snowflake pattern on the dagger that had been tempered by thousands of hammers.
"Brother, this dagger is quite good, but do you think it's missing anything? Where's the sheath?"
Tang Fuyun showed his white teeth, "As long as you like it, I'll make the sheath tomorrow. I'll also make the fan tomorrow."
"Brother, can you promise me one thing? When you return, give the dagger to your uncle, Lord Sima, and I will give it to you when I have the chance. Now, go home and don't go anywhere."
Tang Fuyun just nodded, and after a few words, he was coaxed out by Rong Tang.
Rong Tang wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve, but accidentally lost her grip on the chain and it slipped off. She could only quickly grab it, turn over, and pretend to sleep.
However, the five-member group was in a very excited state, shouting and screaming, and had no chance of sleeping. He also tasted the bitter fruit of his own actions.
Five days later, the verdict of Jin Shizhao's case came down. He was dismissed from his official position, his property was confiscated, and he narrowly escaped death. Just when some people thought that the Jin family's fate was not too bad, someone with inside information revealed the secret.
"Haven't you noticed that the concubine of the Jin family hasn't shown up? Do you know where she went?"
The melon eater asked, "Where did you go?"
The person curled his lips and said, "She was brought into the residence of Grand Tutor Xie to be a concubine. They said she would be promoted to the wife after she gave birth to a son."
"Ah? Master Xie is so old, and he still indulges in such extravagance? Besides, he has a wife, right?"
"Look at what nonsense you are talking about. Jin Xiangxiang is definitely not the concubine of Master Xie. She is the eldest son of Master Xie, Xie Jinzhi."
"Oh! Is it the consort Xie Jinzhi who was crippled by Princess Zhaohua because of taking a concubine years ago? Isn't he crippled? He's lying in bed unable to move, how can you still play?"
"You don't understand. In a wealthy family, the eldest son and grandson are the ones who carry on the family line. The Xie family wasn't sure he could still have a son, so they took a concubine. If Jin Xiangxiang gave birth, they would make her the legal wife. The Xie family would not lose out anyway."
Now, the audience understood. The eldest son of the Xie family was useless, and no one was willing to marry their daughter to him and become a widow. The Jin family offered a daughter in exchange for the protection of Taifu Xie, which saved Jin Shizhao's life.
Of course, this is what outsiders think. After hearing this, Rong Tang made his own judgment.
