One Hundred and Eighty Third Chapter Not to Be the Imperial Concubine Twenty-Seven
Father Jiang and Mother Jiang waited anxiously at the gate for a long time.
It was not until Xuanyang Hou came back from court in official uniform.
As soon as Xuanyanghou came back, he saw Jiang's father and Jiang's mother. When Jiang's mother saw Lord Hou, she fell to her knees with a plop.
shouted:
"Master Hou, save my son, my son was wronged."
Master Hou understood the other party's intention, and said with a gloomy face:
"What do you mean the imperial court's handling of affairs is unfair?"
Jiang's father glanced at Jiang's mother, and quickly made a relief:
"Don't blame Hou Ye, my wife doesn't understand, so naturally she speaks inappropriately."
Xuanyanghou let out a groan, and glanced at Father Jiang.
I don't have much impression, the last time we met was more than ten years ago.
They were all teenagers back then.
Goodbye is a father.
Xuanyang Hou said to Jiang Mu:
"Stop kneeling, get up."
Jiang's father helped Jiang's mother up, and asked Xuanyanghou: "Master Hou, can you..."
Marquis Xuanyang interrupted Jiang's father and said:
"Everyone in the imperial court knows about this matter, and the evidence is indeed conclusive under the eyes of everyone."
"If you don't believe me, I can tell you how to visit the prison. You can ask your beloved son first."
Jiang's father looked tired and sad, and comforted Jiang's mother with one hand, signaling Jiang's mother not to speak.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Master Hou, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. Is there... is there no other way?"
Xuan Yang Hou waved his hand:
"You might as well ask your son what stupid things he has done in the Hou Mansion first."
Father Jiang looked at Xuanyanghou in surprise.
What a crime, what did you do again?
Mother Jiang panted heavily, feeling that her heart could not take it anymore.
He didn't even have the face to ask.
Xuanyang Hou said again:
"It's not that I don't help, there's really nothing we can do about it."
Jiang's father had no choice but to bend over to Xuanyang Hou and bow his hands, thanking him.
I don't know what stupid things my son has done in the Hou's mansion, so I dare not ask for help again.
At least get things straightened out first.
Father Jiang asked again how he could meet Jiang Tiancai, but Xuanyang Marquis told Father Jiang where to go and what procedures he needed to go through so that he could see Jiang Tiancai.
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother went to visit the prison with money and some good food.
The two entered the prison, which was dark and damp, and there were occasional scolding and crying.
Under the leadership of the jailer, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother saw Jiang Tiancai lying on the ground with a piece of hay in his mouth, his right leg resting on his left.
The jailer shouted at Jiang Tiancai:
"Jiang Tiancai, your parents are here to see you."
Jiang Tiancai stood up abruptly, looked at Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, grabbed the railing with both hands and shouted:
"Father, mother."
The jailer used a key to open a hole in the door, which was usually handed out to the prisoners.
But it is also guaranteed that the prisoner will not come out.
Jiang's mother felt distressed seeing her son like this, so she hurriedly stepped forward to open the food and handed it to Jiang Tiancai.
The jailer said to Father Jiang:
"Half a quarter of an hour, when the time is up, you have to leave."
Father Jiang pulled out a smiley face:
"Officer, can you give me more grace?"
The jailer touched his chin with his hand and said:
"This is it."
Jiang's father hurriedly stuffed the prepared broken silver into the hands of the jailer.
The jailer cautiously looked left and right before saying:
"A quarter of an hour."
Jiang's father nodded again and again, and the jailer Shi Shiran walked to stand not far away.
Jiang Tiancai's eyes filled with tears when he smelled the aroma of the food, and he devoured it without talking to his parents.
Mother Jiang burst into tears and said:
"Son, slow down."
With the food in his mouth, Jiang Tiancai responded with two moans.
Mother Jiang looked at Father Jiang tearfully, and said:
"Master, you must find a way, we only have this one son."
Jiang's father saw Jiang Tiancai's distressed appearance, although his heart was also worried, but he calmed down a lot and said:
"Calm down, let's ask the situation first."
Mother Jiang just shed tears and didn't speak any more.
When Jiang Tiancai was almost finished eating, he slowly picked out the food.
Seeing this, Mother Jiang took the opportunity to ask:
"Son, tell your mother, what's the reason?"
Jiang Tiancai mentioned this and looked at his mother:
"I was rushing to the test site that day, and then someone bumped into me. I was in a hurry to take the test, so I didn't pay attention. When I searched before the test, the note fell out of me."
"I really didn't do that, and I don't know who put it in my arms."
His mother has always been stupid, she can't talk more than her brain.
So he didn't fully explain the truth of the matter.
If her mother spread the news about him buying and selling exam papers in a hurry, the crime would be more serious than cheating.
Mother Jiang said with such an expression on her face:
"I just said that my son was wronged."
"Do you still remember that person's appearance?" Father Jiang also asked.
Jiang Tiancai shook his head. It's not like he didn't think about it these days, but he didn't see that person's face at all.
Where to go to look for it.
Father Jiang was a little disappointed and saddened, and asked Jiang Tiancai:
"My mother and I went to the Hou's Mansion. We begged your cousin to no avail, and then begged Lord Hou, but Lord Hou said let us ask you, let you tell yourself about your bastard in the Hou Mansion."
Jiang Tiancai's eyes dodged when he heard the words, and he refused to speak.
Father Jiang scolded:
"If you don't want to say it, there is no way for you to intercede for your father."
Jiang Tiancai was scared now, he didn't want to keep him in prison even more than his face.
Mother Jiang also persuaded:
"Son, just say it."
"Only if you tell the truth, the matter can be resolved, and your grievances can be washed away for you."
Jiang Tiancai stepped back and stopped eating. He looked at Father Jiang in fear and said:
"Father, I told you, don't hit me."
Father Jiang had a bad feeling, but nodded patiently.
When Jiang Tiancai thought of this, he thought of Jiang Yizhi, his face twisted slightly, and he said to Father Jiang:
"It's all my cousin's fault."
Jiang's father and Jiang's mother looked at each other. They had been in contact with Jiang Yizhi for so long, so they naturally knew that Jiang Yizhi was not easy.
Hastily asked.
Jiang Tiancai didn't dare to say that he wanted to be the concubine of the Hou family from the beginning, and was eager to cling to the powerful to do such things.
He only said that he was instigated by Jiang Yizhi to deliberately seduce the married daughter of the Hou family.
However, things came to light and he was kicked out by the Hou Mansion.
Jiang Tiancai put all the responsibility on Jiang Yizhi, saying that Jiang Yizhi was jealous of the concubine's daughter and wanted him to seduce her and destroy her innocence.
He even exaggerated that he had to do it as a last resort.
Said that Jiang Yizhi threatened him that if he didn't do what she said, he would not be allowed to stay in the capital and would not be able to participate in the examination.
He had no choice but to surrender.
If you miss the exam, you will have to wait for three years.
Jiang Tiancai described himself as innocent and pitiful, but in fact he really hated Jiang Yizhi in his heart, because Jiang Yizhi was kicked out of the Hou Mansion.
After being kicked out of the Hou's mansion, he was so unlucky and unhappy in everything.
Jiang Tiancai believes that the source and responsibility are all on Jiang Yizhi.
