Tower of Babel

Chapter 188

During a rule-making, Madam Wang seized the opportunity to send away Jia Hu's personal maid and nanny, and threw Jia Hu into the pond to drown him. Otherwise, how could a child from a wealthy family, who was always accompanied by maids, servants and servants, drown without anyone's involvement? It is said that after learning the truth, Zhang secretly left a blood letter and hanged herself. No matter how much Jia's mother and Wang tried to conceal it, the truth could not be hidden.

Jia She was not a fool. His wife and children died tragically. There would be many people who knew about such a big thing. It would be difficult to keep it secret. Did they kill them all? Do you think Jinyiwei was really blind? Can't a major case involving dozens of lives bring down the Jia family? Jia Zhen soon found his wife's blood letter and knew the truth, but Jia She chose to endure it, pretending to be stupid, and chose to get away with it. He did not accept the concubine prepared by Jia's mother, but made Xing, his wife's dowry maid, his principal wife.

It's not that he doesn't like Jia Lian, but he doesn't dare to like Jia Lian, because Jia She knows that as long as he cares about Jia Lian, Jia Lian will become his handle. Once he makes Jia Lian the eldest son, he decides to pass on everything in Rongguo Mansion to Jia Lian. Just like Jia Hu, he will become someone that Wang Furen wants to get rid of as soon as possible. So Jia She deliberately distanced himself from Jia Lian and even asked him to grow up in front of Wang Furen.

In view of Jia Hu's "death", Jia She and Jia Zheng also agreed not to make the eldest son the eldest son for the time being. Whoever's son grows up first, has a family and a career first, carries on the family line first, and stands out first will be made the eldest son first. So Jia Lian has always been the second master.

Jia Zhu is a top student, while Jia Lian has never liked studying since childhood. Under such an agreement, anyone with a discerning eye can see who will own the Jia Mansion in the future, but who knows that this is Jia She protecting Jia Lian? Otherwise, Mrs. Wang will have the intention to kill him. If Jia Hu had not performed better than Jia Zhu, how could he have been killed?

And Jia Mu was even more aggressive. After Jia Zhu had a child who passed the imperial examination, she asked Jia She to make Jia Zhu the heir of the Rongguo Mansion on the grounds that Jia Lian had no future and no heirs. It can be said that she was pressing step by step. At this time, Jia Zhu was a little lax after passing the imperial examination. He went to a brothel and was caught by Jia Zheng who returned home late at night. Jia Zheng was furious. Passing the imperial examination did not mean being a Jinshi. He had bowed eighteen times but was just one step short of shivering. He severely punished Jia Zhu and beat him with thirty sticks.

How could Jia She give up after being forced by Jia Mu? Seeing that Jia Zhu was injured and bedridden and had lost the ability to resist, he took the opportunity to beat him to death, and then took out the evidence he had collected over the years and questioned Jia's mother about the death of his wife and children.

This kind of thing is a case of a mother's unkindness and a son's unfilial piety, and it is also a murder case. Jia She's pardon is a pardon. Regardless of whether Jia She pardons or not, the pardon must at least be guilty, and there must at least be a reason for pardon, and it must be excusable. Jia Hu and Jia Zhu, one life for one life is naturally excusable. According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, private revenge is allowed. When enforcing the law, the crimes of the two parties are offset. Mrs. Wang killed Jia Hu, and Jia She killed Jia Zhu, which is exactly one life for one life. If Jia She directly reported to the officials, then Mrs. Wang would be guilty and it would be Mrs. Wang who would be executed, while Jia Zhu would be innocent and still have a smooth career. Under the partiality of Mrs. Jia, he could still become the heir of Rongguo Mansion.The nobleman, this is unacceptable to Jia She.

But the Ming Dynasty is not the Han Dynasty. Private revenge is not allowed after the Han Dynasty. The use of this principle of mutual offset of crimes is very costly. For example, if Jia Zhu was beaten to death, there was a reason. Jia She could be spared the death penalty, but he could not escape the punishment of life. He would be exiled for at least 3,000 miles. The same is true for Mrs. Wang. She cannot be exempted from responsibility because of one life for one life. Jia Mu will also be sued for forcing her daughter-in-law to death.

Once the lid can't be covered, the mother-in-law's family can't do it. Although according to feudal etiquette, it is not a serious crime for a mother-in-law to kill her daughter-in-law without authorization, and at most one hundred canings and one year in prison, but Jia Mu has been pampered all her life. There is no difference between one hundred canings and beating to death. What's more, there is also an accusation of conspiring with Wang to harm her grandson. Once sentenced, Jia Mu will become an old witch, and the image of a kind old lady will be completely ruined. She can be drowned by spitting.

Finally, after a heated argument, the Jia family decided to keep the peace and suppress the truth. They claimed that Jia Zhu was weak and fell ill after being carried out of the examination room, and eventually died. On the other hand, Jia She moved out of Rongxi Hall. Although a woman could not decide on the property of a marquis, she was afraid that there was something wrong. They reached an agreement in private that if the people did not report it, the officials would not investigate it. Jia She moved to the yard behind Ma Peng and renovated it to make it a general's mansion.

In order to prove her innocence and to show that she would not murder Jia She's offspring, Jia Wangshi agreed to marry her niece to Jia Lian. Jia's mother was worried that her precious grandson would have another accident, so she personally took care of her baby. As for who Rongguo Mansion would eventually belong to, it would depend on who was more promising and who had offspring between Baoyu and Jia Lian! In order to avoid Wang Fu Ren's death, Jia She cared more about Jia Baoyu's life and death than Jia Zheng. When Ma Dao Po harmed Baoyu, it could explain why Jia She spared no effort.

But even so, Wang Fu Ren would not give up. It was impossible for Jia Lian to inherit the title, even if Jia Lian married her niece. In the original book, Wang Xifeng was first asked to be the housekeeper, and offended everyone in the family. Then she asked you to pay for it. Although she lived in Rong Xi Tang, the second house was not legitimate. Your husband is the future eldest son, and Rongguo Mansion will be yours sooner or later. If you don't pay, who will? Forced Fengjie to lend money at high interest rates and keep adding money.

Otherwise, Fengjie is not stupid. Rongguo Mansion is not hers anymore. Is it worth it to spend money and effort for her aunt? What's more excessive is that Wang Xifeng had several unexplained miscarriages, and the miscarriages were all boys, but the ones she gave birth to were girls. What blood relationship? Mrs. Wang is cold-hearted by nature.

Some people would say that there was no fetal gender identification technology in ancient times, so how could this be possible? But it is not difficult to identify whether the fetus is a boy or a girl. As long as you have experienced the ten-month pregnancy process of a boy or a girl, it is easy to distinguish. In ancient times, women gave birth to many children, and there were women who gave birth to both boys and girls.

Some people would say that Jia Zhu has a son, so why can't Jia Lan inherit the title? Because the title is not the throne, if Jia Lan participates, it will be the fifth generation. The title will be reduced by one generation when it is passed down from one generation to the next. The Jia family has five generations of titles, and Jia Lian and Jia Zhu have already been four generations. Jia Lan's participationAfter that, there will be no more. Therefore, in terms of clan law, Jia Lan has no right to participate in the fight for the title of the previous generation.

Of course, these house fights have nothing to do with Zhang Cheng. Today is the day of the wedding, and Zhang Cheng is just watching for fun, just watching an ancient wedding. As for the Jia family's mess, what does it have to do with him? Zhang Cheng doesn't want to care! After mastering the godhood, it was the first time for Zhang Cheng to turn into a bird to see the world. I feel like Sun Wukong, who has learned the seventy-two transformations. This feeling is very fresh.
