Jia Qiang's Ordinary Life

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

While the Jia family was still thinking about Wang Xifeng's childbirth, Zhen's family in Jiangnan, who had been picked up four times, was raided.

The Zhen family and the Jia family are also family friends, and the relationship between the Zhen family and the royal family is even more unusual. Speaking of which, the previous head of the Zhen family was the emperor's milk brother. He was the emperor's companion and was the emperor's confidant.However, the hearts of the people are always dissatisfied. The Zhen family won the favor of the former emperor and took the position of weaving in the south of the Yangtze River. Prince Zhong, although he is not the main wife, is very favored.Back then when Prince Yizhong was still the crown prince, the Zhen family naturally put all their chips on him and searched Jiangnan wantonly to honor Prince Yizhong.The Zhen family is so courageous that they have even put their hands into Jiangnan's salt tax. In the past 20 years, I don't know how much money they have got, and the Zhen family is quite bullying men and women, and disregarding human life. It's the Emperor of Earth.

Later, when Prince Yizhong got into trouble, the Zhen family didn't know how to restrain themselves. After all, although the emperor has ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor is still there. For the sake of the Supreme Emperor, he has not attacked the Zhen family until now.However, the Supreme Emperor can't protect the Zhen family all the time, not to mention the emperor and the courtiers. The Supreme Emperor has grown old these years, and has long been confused. He doesn't even know his sons. How can he remember what happened to the Zhen family? ?After all, the previous head of the Zhen family who had a deep relationship with the Supreme Emperor had already passed away, and the Supreme Emperor's wet nurse, the old lady of the Zhen family, also went there a few days ago.The current emperor has really had enough of the Zhen family. Although the national treasury is not empty, Jiangnan has always been a land of heavy salt taxes. The Zhen family has been reaching out to steal money from the national treasury. Today, it can be tolerated until today. He said that he could bear it very much, but if he changed to a violent monarch, even if the Supreme Emperor was still in charge, he would have already taken the Zhen family under his knife.

Back then, the Zhen family, which even had to be courteous to the prince's clan, was confiscated, and the men in several houses were imprisoned, and the judgment of Dali Temple came down very quickly.The men who were in charge of the house were all killed, and those of the younger generation were sentenced to exile, and those under the age of sixteen were released. However, all the property of the Zhen family was confiscated. What can the young master do for a living?The tragic thing is that those women, no matter if they are the mistresses, the daughters, or the servant girls, are all sold into slavery, and they will never recover in this life. Some were sold into brothels and became official prostitutes.

Yuan Zixuan went to Jia's house to attend the baptism of Jia Lian's son Jia Jing and came back. Jia Qiang was waiting for her in the bedroom.

"How is it today?" Jia Qiang asked.

Yuan Zixuan sat down a little tiredly: "Second Aunt Lian is fine, and the child is quite strong, but the atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion seems to be not right!"

Jia Qiang looked over: "What's wrong?"

Yuan Zixuan sighed: "Who knows what's going on? Isn't Second Aunt the Second Wife's niece? No matter how I look at Second Aunt, I take Second Wife as my enemy. I don't know what's going on!"

Jia Qiang frowned slightly: "Don't worry about their affairs, I guess there is something dirty! Didn't you say that the second aunt gave birth prematurely? No way, it has something to do with the second room!"

"Probably!" Yuan Zixuan also frowned, "But this Rongguo Mansion is very weird now, in the afternoon, Aunt Zhu invited me to play in the garden, and as a result, the garden was filled with smog and all sorts of weird things! There is a little girl who just picked a flower, and then heard some women pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, it is really annoying!"

"Leave them alone!" Jia Qiang knew that it was the result of handing over the flowers, plants, and trees in the garden to those women who were only concerned with making the flowers and trees bloom more and the fruit trees bear more fruit. How to increase production?Yuan Zixuan was lucky, she didn't meet them fertilizing the flowers and trees in the garden!Seeing Yuan Zixuan's annoyed look, Jia Qiang sighed, "From now on, even if the Jia family invites you, you should try to shirk it!"

Yuan Zixuan was very sensitive and asked, "Is something wrong with the Jia family?"

Jia Qiang snorted coldly: "There is nothing wrong! You have been in Jiangnan for a long time, you have heard of the Zhen family!"

"Of course I've heard of it!" Yuan Zixuan replied, "The Zhen family is a well-known wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. Even the government should give them some face!"

"The Zhen family was raided!" Jia Qiang said lightly, "Except for the underage males who were demoted to common people, the rest were either beheaded or exiled. As for the female servants in the family, they were all sold into slavery. .”

Yuan Zixuan was taken aback: "How could this happen?"

Jia Qiang sneered and said: "Isn't that the case? The Zhen family is too arrogant in Jiangnan, and the emperor can't stand it anymore! If the old lady of the Zhen family hadn't been the emperor's nurse, a few years ago, the Zhen family It's about to be cleaned up! The problem is, a few days ago, the old lady of the Zhen family went!"

Yuan Zixuan sighed: "Well, speaking of it, when I was in Jiangnan, the ladies from the Zhen family and I were still very close! They didn't say that I was far better than me in appearance, but in character and talent. It is extremely rare. Like this, it is likely that we will never see each other again."

Jia Qiang is silent. As a woman, in this era, she cannot be independent. After all, women in this era are all attached to their fathers, grandparents, and brothers.Throughout the ages, there has only been one Hua Mulan and one Wu Zetian.Hua Mulan still had to marry in the end, and Wu Zetian had to be the emperor's concubine at the beginning, and almost died of old age in a nunnery.He sighed, put his arms around Yuan Zixuan, and said, "Don't worry, no matter what, I will definitely keep our family safe!"

Yuan Zixuan leaned her head on Jia Qiang's shoulder and nodded silently.

"The matter of the Zhen family is not over yet!" Jia Qiang sighed, "The Zhen family was confiscated, but how much money was confiscated! However, according to the account books on the Jiangnan side, except for a few pick-ups, the Zhen family still has He was greedy for millions of taels of family wealth, and this does not include all kinds of valuables such as antique calligraphy and paintings!"

Yuan Zixuan opened her eyes wide, turned her head to look at Jia Qiang, and whispered, "Where did the money go?"

"The emperor also wants to know!" Jia Qiang was also very helpless. He had just returned to work in the Imperial Academy and encountered these things. If the emperor makes daily notes, then he is an authentic minister of the emperor, and he is already qualified to know these things.You must know that the emperor heard the news and smashed his favorite tea bowl wrapped with silk and golden branches on the spot. Seeing the emperor's appearance, this matter is endless!

The problem is, the inexplicably missing property of the Zhen family is very likely to be hidden in the four major families!Although there is no specific evidence, what Jia Qiang can be sure of is that the Jia family definitely hid a part, and there are not a few of them.After all, among the four major families, Wang Ziteng has been away all the time, and there is no real capable person in the capital. Although the historians still have two princes, none of them have real power. Only the Jia family is now officially in full swing. This ability, but also the courage to do this.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiang couldn't help sighing again. Speaking of which, the members of the Jia family really felt that they didn't die fast enough, they dared to do anything, even dared to hide the Zhen family's money. Robbing money?You must know that under normal circumstances, a large part of the proceeds from house raids is always sent to the emperor's internal treasury, not just the national treasury.

Yuan Zixuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Could it be that the Jia family hid that money?"

Jia Qiang took a look at Yuan Zixuan, and shook her head helplessly: "There is no evidence yet, but the possibility is very high! Therefore, it is better not to communicate with Jia's side! Anyway, Rongguo Mansion has been with us for a long time. The fifth service is out! I separated the family early, and at that time, the Jia family didn’t have so many dirty things! Don’t worry, as long as we don’t meddle indiscriminately, our family won’t be implicated!”

Yuan Zixuan nodded and made up her mind that in the future, no matter what happened, she should not associate with those two houses.Anyway, I still have a pair of children. Thinking that the young children of the Zhen family are in danger now, and the women are even more likely to fall into the land of fireworks, Yuan Zixuan shudders. Her Ruier, Xiaoer, their future is not good. It was ruined because of my own momentary soft-heartedness.
