Chapter 297 Suicide

After leaving the palace, he came to Shuntian Mansion, where Weng Ziqin personally received Jia Lian in his private room.

"General Jia, it's not that I refuse to give your government face, but it's really something that cannot be done.

Your Majesty summoned me to the palace early this morning. The general reprimanded him, saying that such a major case of moral corruption happened in the important place of the capital!

His Majesty has issued a stern decree, asking the official to compile the files and send them to the Ministry of Punishment for reporting, and follow the law Severely punish those who interfered with the case."

Weng Ziqin has learned about the current situation of Ningguo Mansion and knows that Jia Rong is the sole heir of Ningguo Mansion.

He thought that Jia Lian was here to rescue Jia Rong, so he made his attitude clear in advance.

Jia Lian sighed: "Master Weng, there is no need to be embarrassed. I have just come out of the palace and have already been scolded by Your Majesty. I naturally know the pros and cons.

I I just want to ask Mr. Weng, what will happen to Jia Rong in the end if he follows the law?"

Weng Ziqin felt relieved when he heard what Jia Lian said. After thinking about it, he replied: "I think General Jia must also Clearly, patricide is a heinous crime. In situations like this, according to our laws in the Wei Dynasty, the main culprit will basically be punished with lingchi..."

While Weng Ziqin was speaking, he saw Jia Lian's face darken, and he hurriedly Said: "Xiaoguan was able to detect this case, thanks to the assistance of General Jia. For General Jia's sake, I can make the decision and hand over those accomplices who are not deeply involved to General Jia. As for the few relatives around Young Master Xiaorong, If he follows, he will be sentenced to exile and exile in the army.

As for Young Master Xiaorong himself, please forgive me for the incompetence of the lower official. The minimum sentence is to be executed.

This is already the biggest punishment for the lower official. authority, otherwise it will be contempt of national law. Your Majesty will blame it, and the subordinates will not be able to bear the consequences, and they will also ask General Jia to forgive."

The punishments in the Wei Dynasty were much more lenient than those in the previous dynasty, but relatively It is still much harsher than later generations.

Not to mention the heinous crime, the minimum penalty for the principal culprit was the death penalty, which was already the consensus of the people at the time, so Jia Mu and others determined that Jia Rong basically could not be saved.

"After all, he is my nephew, and I really can't bear to see him end up with his body and head missing. Is there no room for accommodation?" Jia Lian asked unwillingly.

Weng Ziqin could understand Jia Lian very well. He was a close relative by blood. Who would be willing to watch the other person die tragically, for fear that he would not be able to sleep and eat well in the future.

But he shook his head resolutely and said: "If His Majesty had not paid attention to it, the case might have been accommodating. Now, for General Jia's own sake, I would like to advise General Jia to give up other ideas as soon as possible. .

But since ancient times, the dead have been the most important. If the prisoner commits suicideIf you know you are going to die, and commit suicide out of fear of crime, the court will usually not pursue it further, and maybe you can return the body and have your family bury it. "

Weng Ziqin said seemingly unintentionally.

Jia Lian nodded and raised his hand to Weng Ziqin: "I understand, thank you Mr. Fu Yin. "

"Hahaha, easy to talk about. ”

……

In the deep prison, the air is filled with cold, stench and other unpleasant smells.

Jia Rong Sitting on the straw mat with disheveled hair, he heard a sound coming from outside. He looked up and saw Jia Lian leading someone in. A strong look of hope immediately gathered in his eyes.

Being in jail Above the door, he shouted loudly: "Second Uncle, save me, Second Uncle Lian, save me~"

Jia Lian came over and looked at Jia Rong at this time.

The background of the Duke of Guo cannot give Jia Rong any pride and self-esteem.

Faced with the disaster of prison and the desire to survive, he behaves like a common man, even Might as well.

　“Open the door. ”

After hearing Jia Lian’s order, the prison head nodded and opened the cell door. Then he did not dare to limit the visiting time and consciously retreated with his own people.

"Uncle Lian, I was really wronged. You must save me. I don't want to stay here anymore. You took me out, right? It must be, you must have caught the real murderer, so you came to rescue me. "

As soon as Jia Lian stepped into the cell, Jia Rong rushed to Jia Lian's feet and begged. He kept crying and couldn't speak clearly.

With his appearance, it was inevitable Jia Lian felt that he was pathetic and pathetic.

Of course, there are also hateful aspects.

As a commoner, it is understandable that he is cowardly and timid, and is content with the status quo and does not want to make progress. .

But as the heir to the Duke’s mansion, he can’t!

With the honor and disgrace of the family, with endless wealth, but unable to reach this point, it is a sin.
/>
Talent is not worthy of the position, virtue is not worthy of the position, and defeat is only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian forcibly put away the trace of guilt in his heart and said to Jia Rong: " I also believe that you are innocent, but I have no way to rescue you yet, so you will have to stay here for a few more days.

But don’t worry, your grandfather is back this morning. The family is trying to find a way to save you. I believe it won’t be long before they can rescue you. ”

Jia Rong was overjoyed when he heard this and was busyHe kowtowed to express his gratitude, turned his worries into joy, and took Jia Lian to explain to Jia Lian one by one all the doubts he knew and guessed. I hope Jia Lian has this information and can rescue him quickly.

"By the way, my second uncle, Mr. Sun, the shopkeeper of Zuixian Tower, can also check it out.

"I used to consider him a confidant and talk to him about everything, but now Thinking about it, he was afraid that he had some ulterior motive for getting close to me.

He often gave me tips and taught me how to deal with my father. There are also those nightmare techniques. I didn’t understand this at first, but I learned from him. I knew it from my mouth, so I went to Tongshen Temple outside the city to get it. I didn’t expect that I got it by mistake..."

Jia Rong said very regretfully, and caught a glimpse of Jia Lian's face, "Yes. "I'm wrong." He hurriedly kowtowed and admitted his mistake: "I know I was wrong, and I shouldn't have disrespected my father.

I promise that after I get out, I will change my mind and change my ways, and I will never dare to have such a problem again. Unfaithful and unfilial..."

Jia Rong only thought that Jia Lian was dissatisfied with him and even tried to curse his biological father to death.

Jia Lian shook his head: "It's good that you know you're wrong. By the way, are you hungry? When I come, I'll order you a table of wine and food from Zuichuntang. You can eat first." ."

"Really, thank you Uncle Lian, I've been hungry for a long time. Uncle Lian doesn't know that these damn jailers don't even give them anything clean to eat. Since last night Until now, my nephew is hungry and thirsty. If my second uncle doesn't come to see me again, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive."

Jia Rong's eyes were full of joy. She had been pampered since she was a child and had no worries. A noble man who enjoys food and drink will be even more miserable than ordinary people if he really lacks food and drink.

After burning the incense, Jia Lian looked at Jia Rong who was lying on the ground unconscious, called the cell leader, and ordered: "Go back and tell Mr. Fu Yin that the prisoner Jia Rong knows that he has committed a serious crime. , has committed suicide out of fear of crime.

Please also ask Mr. Fu Yin to treat his body kindly for the sake of my government.

After the case is concluded, the general will send someone to collect it Corpse."

After Jia Lian finished explaining, he took the people and left directly.

After the jailer entered the door to check the situation, he leaned close to the cell leader and whispered: "Sir, it doesn't look like a suicide, but more like someone poisoned..."
< br /> Before he finished speaking, the prison head slapped him on the forehead and cursed: "You don't want your life, how dare you interfere in this kind of people's business?

Why don't you hurry up and clean it up? Well, I’m going to report to Mr. Fu Yin and see how Mr. Fu Yin will deal with it.”
