Two days later, the original Linghua Jiedushi Yamen was changed to the Linghua Magistrate Yamen.
The day before yesterday, after Jiapo accepted the seal of command of the Linghua Mansion on behalf of the emperor, he sent people to rush back to Shenjing City to explain to Emperor Longchang what happened in Linghua Mansion. He also told Emperor Longchang that the other two Jiedu envoys might be controlled. Be vigilant.
In the backyard of the magistrate's office, Japo sat in the pavilion and watched the snow scene, his mind unknowingly flying back to the sacred city.
"Jia Baoyu pays homage to the prince!"
Jiapo was not angry when his thoughts were interrupted. He turned around and looked at the place where the sound came from, only to see Jia Baoyu trembling and kneeling on the ground.
"Get up!"
Japer's voice was calm, without any hint of emotion or anger.
Regarding Jia Baoyu, given Jia Po's status, he didn't take him seriously at all. Naturally, he didn't have much dislike, and of course he didn't have a good impression. To him, Jia Baoyu was just a spoiled man by the Duke of Rongguo. Just trash.
"Thank you! Your Majesty." Jia Baoyu bowed respectfully before standing up, but did not dare to look up at Jia Per.
He was too afraid of Japer. Because of Japer, he was almost beaten to death several times. Because of Japer, he was exiled to the frontier and suffered a lot, and he was even more nearly killed.
The men in black robes brought him to the Linghua Mansion, and the fake Murong Qing threw him into the firewood shed without asking any questions, and he almost froze to death. After experiencing this, he realized that the aloofness he thought he had was nothing in the face of life and death, and in the face of power. .
Taking a look at Jia Baoyu, who had a yellowish face, unshaven beard, and chapped lips, standing respectfully and shivering in the snow, Jia Baoyu sighed softly. How could Jia Baoyu still look like the noble young master in the past, if not for it? He confirmed that this was Jia Baoyu, and he didn't dare to admit it.
Walking out of the pavilion, he took off his big cloak and put it on Jia Baoyu. He chuckled and said, "You have grown up a lot. In the past, you would not be so respectful to me."
Jia Baoyu just thought that Jiapo came towards her to hit her and was ready to be beaten, but she didn't expect that Jiapo would take off his cloak and put it on himself, which made Jia Baoyu stunned for a moment.
Feeling the warmth on his body, Jia Baoyu quickly bowed and saluted and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Majesty. In the past, the common people were ignorant and contradicted the Prince many times. They also brought disaster to the Rongguo Palace. The common people are ashamed."
Is Jia Baoyu smart? He is actually very smart, but he has only been pampered by Jia Mu and the entire Rongguo Palace since he was a child, so he has developed into a loser who only likes to hang out with women.
Japer looked at the young man in front of him who had been spoiled by Jia's mother, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart that people really have to go through life and death in order to transform.
He smiled slightly and said: "Prince Jia Baoyu is not a narrow-minded person. I will not pursue things in the past. If you have grown up now, your father will be very happy if he knows."
When Jia Baoyu heard Jia Po mention Jia Zheng, his head lowered unconsciously. Thinking about what he had done before, what he said made him feel ashamed to see Jia Zheng again. He had disappointed Jia Zheng too many times.
Looking at Jia Baoyu who lowered his head with a look of shame on his face, Jia Po nodded inwardly: "I still know how to be ashamed. This kid can still be saved, so everything will be easy to talk about."
Glancing at Jia Baoyu who had his head lowered, Jiapo asked with a smile.
"Do you think the Duke of Rongguo is powerful?"
"Nature is powerful." Jia Baoyu didn't know why Jiapo asked, but still subconsciously replied.
In his impression, Rongguo Gongfu is the most powerful noble family in the world, and there are few that can compare with Rongguo Gongfu.
Jia Baoyu's answer was what Jiapo expected. After all, even though he has grown, his knowledge is still not enough.
He sneered and said:
"Ha! They are just strong on the outside and capable on the inside. The two houses of Rongning and Ning are either slaves or masters.
Servants, maids, and women used the reputation of the second house to oppress the people and kill people.
Internally, he embezzled the owner's money, property, etc., and your father collaborated with Jia Yucun to cover up the human life lawsuit.
There is also Wang Xifeng who borrowed money abroad and forced other people's families to die. Do you think the court knew about these things? Will these lives of the imperial court be counted on Rong Ning's second house? After speaking, Jiapo looked at Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu knew these things. His father was dismissed from office for collaborating with Jia Yucun to cover up human lives. He only learned about the affairs of the housekeepers, maids, and women of the two houses after he was arrested and in Jinyiwei Prison.
As for Wang Xifeng's loan sharking, he didn't know about it, but he was still very puzzled as to why Jiapo said this. He tentatively said, "Except for Sister Feng's matter, didn't everyone else handle it?"
Hearing Jia Baoyu's question, Jiapo looked at him with a half-smile and said, "You don't think His Majesty the Emperor will simply let Rong Ning go, do you?"
"Let me tell you one more thing: The Rongning Palace borrowed a total of two million taels of silver from the imperial court during the reign of the Supreme Emperor, but it has never been repaid."
When Jia Po said that Rong Ning's second house owed the court two million taels of silver, Jia Baoyu's eyes widened and he was speechless. Although he was a waste before, it didn't mean that he didn't know what two million taels of silver meant.
His voice trembled as he said, "His Majesty the Emperor will ask Rong Ning's Second Mansion to repay the money. If the money is not paid...!"
"It's useless even if you can pay it back, because His Majesty the Emperor has other reasons to destroy Rong Ning's second mansion. To be precise, he destroyed the four princes and eight princes."
As Jiapo's words fell, Jia Baoyu instantly turned pale and collapsed to the ground. He knew that Jiapo did not lie to him and there was no need to lie to him.
If what Jia Po said is true, then everyone in Rong Ning's second house will die, and the four princes and eight princes will be wiped out. This news is like a bolt from the blue to Jia Baoyu.
After a long time, Jia Baoyu seemed to have thought of something and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this the reason why the prince wanted to separate from the Duke of Rongguo and establish a separate family? You have always known this."
"You are very smart, but your guess is incomplete." Pulling Jia Baoyu up from the ground, Jiapo chuckled.
"The Jia family has one family and two princes. It is the most powerful family in the world. You said that if there is another military king and the support of other four princes and eight princes, plus you, who was born with the title of jade, Second Master Bao, do you think His Majesty the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor can still sleep?"
Jia Baoyu's words completely stunned Jia Baoyu and completely shattered his world view. He had been doted on by Jia's mother since he was a child, and he had never understood these things. But today, for the first time from Jia Po's mouth, he knew the truth. The Duke of Rongguo has always been on the verge of being exterminated.
Forcibly calming down the fear in his heart, Jia Baoyu bowed respectfully to Jia Po:
"Thank you, my lord, for your guidance!"
"You don't have to thank me. I'm not telling you this just to thank you." Without waiting for Jia Baoyu to speak, he continued: "I want you to help me lead out the two monks and Taoists who came to save you last time. If you Help Gu lure them out, and Gu can plead with His Majesty the Emperor to spare the lives of innocent people in the Rongguo Palace. "
After hearing Jia Po's request, Jia Baoyu instinctively wanted to refuse. He had seen the monks and Taoists before, and he was afraid of such magical methods.
But now Japer is right in front of him, and he doesn't know if Japer will kill him if he refuses, and he also hears Japer saying that if he succeeds, he can spare the innocent people in the Rongguo Palace.
After hesitating for a moment, Jia Baoyu gritted his teeth and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The common people are willing to give it a try."
