Chapter 506 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 33
After investigation by the emperor's men, it was confirmed that only one person from the Rongguo Mansion's Jia family was involved in Jia Yuanchun's bed climbing. The emperor felt much better after knowing this.
Since the only family involved is the Jia family, it means that the only family who knows about this matter is the Jia family.
As long as he could control Jia Yuanchun and prevent her from sending messages outside the palace, the emperor wouldn't have to worry that the Jia family would spread the news that Jia Yuanchun had slept with the emperor to the ears of the retired emperor.
The emperor and the emperor emeritus have been fighting for so many years, and they are finally about to see the dawn of victory. The emperor really doesn't want to create any more trouble.
As for the news that Jia Yuanchun said about the late crown prince's illegitimate daughter, Qin Keqing, the emperor did not take it to heart. She was just an illegitimate daughter and would not affect the overall situation.
It’s a pity that the emperor was open-minded, but things did not develop as normal. Not long after Jia Yuanchun climbed into bed, news came from outside the palace that Qin Keqing had died.
It stands to reason that Qin Keqing's death was just a death, as she was just the wife of a minor heir to the Ningguo Mansion, and she would not make much of a splash. However, the emperor did not expect that Qin Keqing's death was strange, and Jia Zhen, who killed her, became confused after her death, as if he had just realized that Qin Keqing's identity was not ordinary, and suddenly wanted to give Qin Keqing a grand funeral.
Qin Keqing's extra-standard funeral, coupled with the Ningguo Mansion that was like a sieve, meant that even without Jia Zhen's personal admission, every one of the four kings and eight dukes knew Qin Keqing's hidden life experience.
The people of the Four Princes and Eight Dukes knew about it, and the Emperor Retired naturally knew about it too. So when Qin Keqing's funeral was held, all those who knew about it, whether for the Emperor Retired or the former Crown Prince's sake, cooperated and sent super-standard roadside sacrifices.
"Humph, a bastard daughter. Even if the former crown prince is still alive, she can only be a princess. These people actually dare to let her use the sacrificial rites that can only be used by princes!"
"They are relying on the emperor emeritus and don't take me, the emperor, seriously at all!"
The emperor just thought that these people were really crazy. They were making such a big fuss about "remembering" the late crown prince, and they didn't take him, the emperor, seriously at all.
Everything has finally come to this point. It can only be said that the confiscation of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion is not unjust. Look at what they have done, which one is not jumping on the emperor's sore spot.
The retired emperor was old after all, and died shortly after Qin Keqing's death. After the death of the retired emperor, the whole country had to observe mourning. The rich young men in the capital who usually gathered together to play were confined at home by their elders. As the weather gradually turned cooler and snowflakes fell, the whole world seemed to have quieted down.
Wang Xi started to act at this time. It was cold in winter and people were not allowed to have fun during the mourning period. Many regular brothels and taverns were not allowed to open. The lustful dignitaries had no place to vent their desires, so they turned to secret entertainment.
Wang Xi only had to wait at the brothel that had been marked long ago and it would be easy for him to get the mediums that those people used to cast spells. After almost everything that needed to be collected was collected, Wang Xi directly classified the mediums according to the severity of the crime and cast spells on them separately.
Those who participate in organizing money-making and serve as backers for human traffickers will be guilty of the same crime as those traffickers and will be directly given the most brutal death curse. Those who are hit by this curse will die one after another in different ways and at different times. Unless someone who understands the curse investigates, it will be impossible to find out.
Those who were just ordinary participants in the plot and did not provide much support were considered accomplices. Wang Xi directly cast a lust spell on them. As long as they could persist in not being affected by lust, they could "live a long life". If they were once tempted by lust, what awaited them was only the hollowing out of their bodies and death from weakness.
After casting the spell, Wang Xi did not forget to take back the indentures of the kidnapped women from the traffickers. After the women in the shelter got their indentures back, they cried and laughed, feeling suffocated by the confusion they had been experiencing.
Now that they have the indentures, they no longer have to worry about being sold again, nor do they have to worry about being captured again after their shelter is discovered.
Wang Xi looked at these crying and laughing women, and a thought became clearer in his mind. As the ancients said, "Help others to the end, and send Buddha to the west." If you want to truly gain the merit of saving people, you need to completely eliminate the future troubles of the people you save. It does not mean that for the sake of merit, you must take care of people for their entire lives after saving them, but that saving people requires pulling them out of their current suffering completely.
As for the future, that will happen after the person is pulled out.
After casting two group spells, Wang Xi had consumed a lot of his skills and needed to recover for a while. He didn't pay attention to the many criminals who escaped. What surprised Wang Xi the most was that Jia Zhen was also among those who escaped.
Jia Zhen started to support You Erjie, the younger sister of his step-wife Youshi. Even though Jia Lian had a gentle wife who never stopped him from taking a concubine, he still couldn't change his nature of seeking excitement and still hooked up with Qiu Tong, a married woman. But after a long time, Jia Lian got tired of her.
Coincidentally, Jia Zhen was also tired of the gentle and gentle You Erjie at this time, and turned his attention to the fierce You Sanjie. You Sanjie was indeed fierce and sharp-tongued, and she refused to obey.
Jia Zhen was furious that he could not get You Sanjie, so he cut off You Lao Niang's money and wanted to drive them out of the house. Seeing that You Erjie could not become Jia Zhen's concubine, You Lao Niang was not happy and threatened to spread the news that he had insulted his wife's sister. In order to calm the matter down, Jia Zhen thought about Jia Lian.
"Alright, alright, let me tell you the truth. I'm tired of playing with my second sister. It's absolutely impossible for me to marry her into the mansion."
"But, after all, my second sister has followed me. It's not good to just ask you to leave like this."
"How about this, I'll help my second sister find another family."
Old Lady You's eyes rolled around as she thought about Jia Zhen's words. She had wanted to ask for more money before being driven away, but looking at Jia Zhen's expression, she thought he would not give her any.
As for Old Lady You's statement about spreading the affair between him and You Erjie, it was purely to threaten Jia Zhen. She would never go if she was really asked to do so. After all, she was still thinking about earning more money by relying on her two beautiful daughters.
If You Erjie's reputation is ruined, how can she seduce the nobleman?
"Find someone. My second sister has given you her innocence. Which good family would be willing to take her?"
"Don't even think about finding a poor family for your second sister. Even if our You family is in decline, we are still your Ningguo Mansion's in-laws. No matter how poor our second sister is, she is still a daughter of an official family. She is not someone that just any family can marry!"
It was fine to find someone to marry her. If it could really help You Erjie marry into a good family, You Lao Niang would naturally be willing. But she was very suspicious of Jia Zhen and was afraid that Jia Zhen would deliberately find a poor family to get rid of them, so she had to give a definite answer.
"Don't worry, the man I find for my second sister is definitely not some poor family."
"You know the Rongguo Mansion next door to the Ningguo Mansion, right? The man I'm talking about is none other than the second Lian brother of the Rongguo Mansion, a truly wealthy man."
