Chapter 20 Watching the fun

 There are so many pedestrians on Zhuque Street, even the heavy snow cannot stop them from going out.

On the Taibai upstairs window, a curtain blocked the wind and snow, but it couldn't stop Bagua's curious heart.

Jia Lian looked out the window with excitement, waiting for a good show.

The curtain is not sealed, and pedestrians on the street can be seen through the gap.

Little Jia Lan was eating a crystal persimmon and asked curiously: "Do you want anything nice?"

Jia Lian: "It's coming, it's coming."

Jia Rong also leaned over.

Yuanwailang Niuli was invited to have a drink at Taibai Tower today. He brought some gifts and was about to approach Taibai Tower.

Suddenly he was stopped by a woman.

"Cow ceremony, Master Niu."

The woman trotted forward with her brother.

Niu Li's servant stopped her, "What do you want to do? Stop. If you don't stop, I will take you to see the official."

The woman was stopped and shouted hoarsely: "Niu Li, where did you take my daughter?"

"Give my sister back to me." A man came up with a pole and shouted loudly.

"What does your daughter have to do with where she is? Don't talk nonsense."

Niu Li was very angry and said, "Drive these people out."

"You actually don't admit it. A month ago, you sent someone to take away my daughter, and you said you would give it to the first-class Boniu successor as a concubine.

But I asked, and there was no such thing. Where did you take my daughter?"

"Talk nonsense, drive them away."

Niu Li also said to the servants around him: "Go to the government office and call the officials to send these people to the dungeon."

This matter is not a big deal when it comes to Niu Li, but it will be a big deal if it involves Niu Jizong, the first-class uncle of Zhenguo Gongfu.

Taibai Tower is located on the main street, where people are coming and going, and the crowds of people watching the excitement are already crowded.

Niu Li: "It is not a crime to beat these unruly people to death for daring to slander me."

The men behind the woman stood up one after another. There were seven or eight of them, all holding poles in their hands and not afraid of fighting.

The woman took out the white jade pendant and said sadly: "In order to deceive our trust, you put the jade pendant in my house as a mortgage, and you still want to deny it."

"If you don't admit it now, did you kill my daughter?

What a waste of human life, dear fellow villagers, Niu Li killed my beautiful daughter."

The woman raised the jade pendant in her hand high and said, "The Niu family is robbing civilian girls. Mr. Qingtian, please make the decision for us."

Niu Li's servants came forward to beat the woman, but were stopped by several men.

The woman shouted loudly, "I am not afraid of death, I only want my daughter's life. He robbed civilian girls, he took human lives lightly. I am not afraid of going to Kaifeng Mansion."

The people below started fighting and it was chaos.

Jia Rong asked Jia Lian: "Is this really true?"

"There are many such things, but Niu Li's behavior is obscure and rarely gets traced to him."

"What about this jade pendant?"

"The cow gift was given to a concubine, and the money she pawned fell into my hands, so there is evidence."

After such a fuss, Niu Lijin couldn't even think of being promoted for three years.

"Where is her daughter?"

"Dead, played to death by Niu Jizong."

Jia Rong closed her eyes: Human life is like grass!

He opened his eyes again and said to Kang'er: "Go and give a handful of coins to the beggars on the street and let them shout out this farce."

"Yes."

"Wait."

Fearing that the people below would not pass on the message, Jia Rong thought for a while and said: "The government of Zhenguo has killed good people and treated human lives with contempt."

Jia Rong took out one or two pieces of silver from her purse and gave it to Kang'er, "Be generous with your money, don't be reluctant to give it."

"Yes."

Jia Lian was puzzled, "This is a matter of Niu Li, how can it be related to the Zhenguo Palace?

If they find out, we won’t be able to live with it.”

You are not afraid of being known, but you are more afraid of not being known.

The Jia family is in bad shape, but the crime does not involve confiscating the house.

Why would the emperor raid Jia's house over a trivial matter?

It was because the Jia family and the four princes and eight princes united to hinder the imperial power.

The emperor and his ministers are two ends of a tug-of-war. The emperor is weak and his ministers are strong; the emperor is strong and his ministers are weak.

If the nobles and nobles are too united, it will also affect the imperial power.

He would not tell Jia Lian these things.

Seeing Jia Lan looking distressed, Jia Rong taught him, "Only by stepping on other people's shoulders can you stand higher.

Don't let the illusory friendship affect our progress."

When Jia Lian heard this, he was a little shocked and a little scared.

He never wanted to harm anyone, but Brother Rong did something harmful to others.

Is this right or wrong?

The mood of watching the theater dissipated, and Jia Lian fell into a dilemma.

The police from Shuntian Prefecture arrived soon. When those people saw the police coming, they immediately ran away.

What they said is true, but they are more afraid of entering the government.

When you enter the government, you will have to die for half your life regardless of whether you are justified or not.

Jialan watched them flee, "Why are they running away? Will they be caught?"

"Maybe."

Jia Lian: "No, Niu Li has long forgotten which woman's family this is."

This incident has become a topic of discussion among everyone after dinner, and will be a lively event in the past two days.

Jia Rong waved the idlers out.

He asked Jia Lian: "Do you have any other plans?"

Other plans?

Isn’t it over here?

Jia Rong understood Jia Lian's expression and said: "Send those suffering people to the imperial censor."

"Why? Our goal has been achieved."

Arrived?

No, getting Jia Zheng promoted is no longer the ultimate goal.

It’s okay if you don’t know. Now that you know, you can’t ignore it.

"Niu Li has killed so many women. He really deserves to die. We can't let him harm others again. We have to beat him so hard that he can't stand up."

Jia Lian felt that this was wrong. He had a good relationship with the Niu family and could not target the Niu family like this.

Jia Lian: "They are just women, they all have low lives. If they die, they will die."

Are all women cheap?

If you die, you will die?

Don’t they deserve to live?

Jia Rong opened his mouth to argue with Jia Lian, but saw the square scarf on the other man's head and his embroidered robe.

He understood Jia Lian's thoughts again.

In this feudal society where men are superior to women, women are no longer human beings.

As a soul who came from modern times, I am used to seeing that everyone is equal, and if I don’t want a woman to die in vain, I should do something if I can.

Jia Rong said to Jia Lian: "Nothing will happen to the Niu family, and it will not affect the relationship between our two families.

But if this bull gift is not trampled to death, the consequences will be endless. He will be a stumbling block for the second master in the officialdom."

Jia Rong approached Jia Lian and said in the most serious tone: "When the time comes, we will also be found out."

Jia Rong made a cruel move in front of him, "Only when the Niu family completely gives up the cow ceremony, we will have more ways to survive."

"But..." Jia Lian hesitated.

"We don't need to do anything, we just need to tell the Sufferer the whereabouts of the most powerful Censor."

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "I believe you again."

Jia Rong sat back and straightened her back, "Second uncle, we are doing harm to the people.

A woman’s life is valuable too.”

Jia Lian felt that he was right, he was just doing harm to the people.
