Chapter 50 Reading Wisely
The Wang family was busy all night.
Jia Zhu investigated very quickly, and Wang Ziteng agreed with the direction of his investigation when he heard about it. Therefore, the master of the Wang family was uneasy because of Wang Zisheng, and the servants of the Wang family were even more trembling with fear.
"My nephew is incompetent!"
Jia Zhu, whose eyes were red from staying up late, was about to cry in front of Wang Ziteng, "The maid who used to call my second aunt "Second Uncle" is dead."
He didn't do that much.
He wanted to slowly force a confession out of him.
But when I went there again this morning, the maid had already committed suicide.
"…Where are her family members?"
The blue veins on Wang Ziteng's forehead were throbbing.
Did she think that death would be the end? He wanted to turn her whole family into ashes.
"Her father died when she was young, and her mother and brother also died four years ago."
Jia Zhu lowered his head, "It was my second uncle and second aunt. They were angry with the last concubine and took their anger out on her mother and brother. They were both beaten and died because they were not treated in time."
Wang Ziteng: “…”
"She was promoted from a maidservant. She has been following her aunt for the past two years. She must have always wanted revenge." Jia Zhu said, "But this is definitely not something she can do alone. There must be an enemy who noticed her and contacted her first."
It’s a pity that once this clue is lost, it will be difficult to investigate further.
"…How did she die?"
Wang Ziteng couldn't help but want to go and take a look.
"Bump into the pillar!"
Hitting the pillar?
Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth and said, "She didn't even hit her head against the pillar when she was tortured last night. How come..."
"She didn't stand a chance last night."
Jia Zhu shook his head and said, "The rope that bound her was worn away bit by bit. I have asked a familiar coroner to look at it. She died by hitting herself against the pillar after the rope was worn away."
"At that time...was there no one around her?"
Wang Ziteng looked at this good nephew and couldn't help squinting his eyes.
"My nephew is afraid that there are still her accomplices in the mansion, so the problematic ones are locked up separately."
Wang Ziteng: “…”
He was breathing heavily.
Jia Zhu was also upset. "My nephew even sent someone to guard us. It was a pity that the servants thought it would be fine as it was almost dawn. One of them went to get hot water, one went to get breakfast, and two of them went to the toilet temporarily."
"Beat them! Beat them all, beat them hard."
Wang Ziteng was furious.
"yes!"
Wang Jin, who had been busy for a day and a night, quickly ran out the moment he glared at him.
Jia Zhu stopped talking.
He knew that he had not done this properly.
If I had known this, I should have reported it to my uncle last night.
But my uncle had finally managed to take a nap, and he couldn't bear it...
"Forget it, this matter must be related to the military."
The most critical issue still lies with the military horse.
Wang Ziteng looked at his brother across from him, full of regret and hatred, "Zhu'er, go back to your brother Zhen in the East Palace and ask him for help."
"……yes!"
Jia Zhu agreed.
It really shouldn't be done and it can't be done.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Wang and Jia families are just grasshoppers on the same vine.
"Nephew will go back to find Brother Zhen now."
He also looked at his second uncle, who had been up all night and looked even more pale, and felt sad. "Uncle, you...you have to take care of yourself too."
"Don't worry!" Wang Ziteng's eyes fell on his brother, "Uncle will not fall until this revenge is avenged."
The situation in the Beijing camp is complicated. Those who are from the same faction as the retired emperor want to bring him down and take over themselves. Those who are from the same faction as the emperor... are even more so.
There are a few of the prince's men inside, and they all want to bring him down...
Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth again, "Help me lie down first, then you go."
He needs to sleep and heal his injuries as soon as possible.
Otherwise, will he still have anything to do when he returns to the Beijing Camp?
"Remember, talk to your brother Zhen in a nice way and don't choke yourself."
"Don't worry, uncle. Brother Zhen has always been very good to me."
Jia Zhu helped him lie down and tucked him in. "He will definitely help in the Beijing camp."
The Beijing Camp was once the world of my great grandfather.
Almost all the generals and officers there were once my great-grandfather’s soldiers.
It was he who brought them up little by little.
The fact that my uncle was able to transfer to the Beijing camp was the result of the joint efforts of the two governments.
When riding on his horse and leaving the palace, Jia Zhu couldn't help but look back.
He was afraid that his eldest uncle, who was too arrogant, would swallow up the Jia family and end up hurting others and himself, but he was also afraid that the person who attacked his eldest and second uncles behind the scenes wanted to deal with their two families, or... to alienate their two families.
Without the eldest uncle, the Jia family is like a toothless tiger.
Without the eldest uncle of the Jia family, even if he was still the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, he would be in name only.
Jia Zhu only hopes that the two families can still support each other as before.
His horse broke into a gallop.
At this time, Jia Zhen was strolling around Huifang Garden with Shen Ning.
The spring sunshine was just right. Shen Ning was feeling very comfortable as he walked, stopped and basked in the sun.
"When we get to the front, read me a passage from the Book of Poetry!"
Huh? Jia Zhen was stunned.
I heard that whenever Rong Ge'er came to pay his respects to his mother, he would recite everything from the Thousand Character Classic to Tang poetry and Song lyrics to her, but he...
He had already returned the Book of Songs to his teacher!
"What are you thinking about?"
Shen Ning rolled her eyes at him, "I asked you to read, not to memorize."
She really didn't think highly of him as much as her elder brother thought. "Your sister must like reading very much. Every time Rong Ge'er recites, she moves a lot."
Jia Zhen: “…”
Very sad!
It’s better to be a younger sister, not a younger brother.
Xifu was favored because Uncle Zheng loved reading.
"Okay!"
Although he was very sad, Jia Zhen smiled and said, "I'll read it to her."
Since his father is not at home, he, as the older brother, has to bear more responsibilities.
"By the way, you've already given Yingchun the Zizhi Tongjian, why are you still reading the Book of Songs to your sister?"
Jia Zhen said with a little bit of evil taste, "Otherwise, I'd better read Zizhi Tongjian to her!"
"That's fine!"
Shen Ning didn't notice it, "Qingzhu, go back and bring the Tang Ji that you didn't finish reading yesterday."
"yes!"
Qingzhu hurried to look for a book.
Now she reads to her wife every night.
I read the eighth volume of Zizhi Tongjian: Tang Dynasty last night.
"Mother, are you really reading Zizhi Tongjian?"
Jia Zhen suddenly felt that his future was bleak.
If everyone in the family reads, but he doesn't...
He knew that Youshi was studying recently.
I wrote a big character before going to bed the other day.
Ahhh, are you going to give him no chance to live?
"Um!"
Shen Ning nodded with a smile, "I'll ask Qingzhu to read it to me."
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, "Let Youshi set up two literacy classes in the mansion! Let the servants and maids learn a little, it will also be considered a skill."
"……become!"
As long as it doesn't bring any harm to him, it's fine.
Jia Zhen was still under a lot of pressure. "I'll tell her when I get back that she has been learning to read like you lately."
"Isn't this good?"
"good!"
Jia Zhen did not dare to hesitate for a moment, "My son wanted to praise her to you."
"That's more like it."
Shen Ning said slowly: "Reading makes you wise, and the fragrance of books leads you far! You are so old now, I don't ask you to do anything in studying, but you should still read more of the Dazhao Law, and the court's official bulletin. Not only should you read it, but the palace guards and the school should also publish it.
The former is to restrain everyone from doing things they shouldn’t do, and the latter is to allow everyone to open their eyes and see the world.”
