dream of red mansion

Chapter 524 Where Did So Much Money Come From?
Jia Baoyu turned his head nonchalantly, only to see Jia Qing gloated at him and followed Daiyu, and immediately froze in place.

He knows sister Lin's temper...

It was getting closer to dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the Tianxiang Building, reflecting the rays of the sun.Mother Jia didn't care about the little fights of her grandchildren, and realized that it was getting late, so she wanted to call everyone back home.

Just at this time, a woman came to report that Jia Zheng asked Jia Qing to go out.

Mother Jia asked what was the matter, but the woman didn't know, so Jia Qing left and went out, and Mother Jia left in no hurry.

Jia Qing was called away during the banquet because of foreign affairs, everyone in Jia's residence was already used to it, so they didn't take it seriously.Only Wang Xifeng felt inexplicably upset at this moment, she always felt that Jia Qing gave her a very meaningful look just before leaving.

Maybe women's intuition is really accurate.But after a while, a staggering woman ran in, ignored the others, ran directly in front of Wang Xifeng, pulled Wang Xifeng to the corner, and cried, "Second Grandma is not good, Wanger, Wanger..."

Wang Xifeng said: "What's wrong with Wang'er?"

"He was taken away by people from the yamen... I beg Second Mistress to save him, I must save him!"

Wang Xifeng's complexion changed.Lai Wanger is her housekeeper and her confidant, she asks Lai Wanger to do many things, and the person in front of her is Lai Wanger's wife.

Since she said that Wang'er was arrested, it must be true!

"Yamen, which Yamen?"

Wang Xifeng couldn't believe it, with the current power of the Jia family, who would dare to arrest people from the Jia family?

"It's people from Shuntian Mansion. They rushed into the house and kidnapped him without saying anything..."

Laiwang's daughter-in-law was terrified when she saw her husband being taken away by officers and soldiers, and now she pins her hopes on Wang Xifeng.

"Feng girl, what happened?"

Seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Wang frowned and asked.

"No, it's nothing..."

Wang Xifeng didn't know the situation yet, so she dared not answer.

Wang Xifeng dealt with Mrs. Wang, and then asked Laiwang's daughter-in-law, "Do you know why he was arrested?"

How dare Shuntian Mansion arrest people from Jia Mansion?Even if the prefect of Shuntian is an official of the third rank, it is not enough for the Jia family.Is there someone behind it?
Laiwang's daughter-in-law hesitated and said, "Maybe, maybe it's because of the usury..."

"how is this possible"

Wang Xifeng murmured.Even if the government finds out about such trivial matters, for the sake of the Jia family's sake, they generally won't bother.

What's more, with the current momentum, no matter how strong the enemy is, they will not choose to attack Jia's mansion at this time!
"Has Wang'er caused any trouble outside recently?" Wang Xifeng asked unwillingly.

If it is only aimed at Laiwang, that's fine. If someone uses this to deal with the Jia family, then she must be the first to bear the brunt.Having been home for so many years, she knew exactly what was at stake.

Laiwang's daughter-in-law cried: "My aunt, how can he offend people outside? These days, he listens to the second grandmother's order to put money and silver outside, and does nothing else. Those who are willing to take it from him The money borrowed is from poor families with no power, how can we invite people from the Shuntian Mansion."

"Okay, I see. You go down, remember this and don't tell anyone about it."

"Second Grandma, you have to think of a way to save him. If you don't save him, he will die. I beg Second Grandma to save him."

Although Wang Xifeng herself is in a state of disarray right now, she also knows that Lai Wang's daughter-in-law must be appeased now, otherwise she might cause some trouble again, so she said: "I see, I will definitely find a way to save Wang'er, you Do not worry."

"Thank you Second Grandma"

After Laiwang's daughter-in-law left, Wang Xifeng stood there thinking for a long time, then quietly went downstairs to find Ping'er and told her about it.

Ping'er also panicked: "Second Grandma, what should we do now? If Wang'er can't keep his mouth shut and says something nonsense, wouldn't Second Mistress be at a disadvantage?"

Wang Xifeng is not worried about this, she said: "For now, the only way is to quickly find your second master and let him go to the yamen to inquire about it. If this is the case, let him do it. I also want to meet Wang'er and make him keep his mouth shut. If you can't even do this, then we have to find a way to keep him from speaking."

Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng's voice was cold.

Ping'er turned pale with shock: "Second Grandma"

Wang Xifeng said sternly: "Do you think I am willing? Think about it, if this matter breaks out and the old lady and wife find out, we will both die without a place to bury us. I can't help being cruel!"

Ping'er also trembled, and said: "Second Master didn't know about this, he would not agree. Besides, I saw that Second Master Qing was called out just now, maybe it was because of this matter, if that was the case, he would definitely not be able to hide it. Living."

Obviously, Wang Xifeng had thought of this point long ago, and said: "If this is the case, there is only one way. In any case, this matter cannot involve the two of us, at least let the second master take care of this matter first."

Wang Xifeng is worthy of being a woman, so she quickly figured out the cause and effect.If the matter cannot be concealed, no one else can take on it, because Lai Wanger is her servant, and only Jia Lian can take on it.

As for Jia Lian, as the grandson of the Rongguo Mansion and an adult son, if he admits that Lai Wanger was ordered by him, although he will still be punished, the matter will not be too serious.

Ping'er thought about it seriously, then nodded.

Jia Lian is a carefree rich son who likes to drink and watch theatres.Today's visit to Ningguo Mansion was no exception. After most of the people dispersed, he and a few fellow members of the clan went to have fun in the backyard under Jia Rong's service.

When I heard that something happened outside, I came out to have a look.Then he found that Jia Zheng hadn't left, so he went up to greet him and said, "Master, what happened?"

Jia Zheng also stayed with a few learned people in the family to discuss scriptures and Taoism.Seeing Jia Lian coming out, he said: "Just now someone from Cai's mansion said that Lai Wang'er was taken away by people from Shuntian mansion. I have asked Brother Qing to inquire about it. It happens that you are also here. Just wait and see."

Jia Zheng's voice was flat, but he didn't seem worried at all. It's just that the Shuntian Mansion took people, and he was just an insignificant slave. He believed it was just a misunderstanding.

When Jia Lian heard this, his heart moved.Of course he knew that this Lai Wanger belonged to Wang Xifeng, and he often ordered her around...

Jia Lian accompanied Jia Zheng and others to stand outside the front hall of Ning'an Hall, and it didn't take long before they heard the sound of horseshoes.

"The second master is back."

Jia Qing got off his horse and came to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng asked, "Is it clear what's going on?"

"Unexpectedly, such a wicked slave appeared in our house!!" Jia Qing said angrily.

"Come here, Wang'er's family will be escorted in the future!"

Seeing that Jia Qing was very angry, Jia Zheng asked, "Why?"

Jia Qingdao: "The dog slaves come to prosper because they are slaves in the mansion, so they ostentatiously act outside and do things unscrupulously. As a slave, regardless of the reputation of the master's family, he openly released loan sharks in the downtown area. The amount involved is huge. There are not a few cases of people being destroyed!

Such an act of seeking wealth and killing his life only fulfills his personal interests, but it requires my Jia family to pay for their great reputation and family style!Such acts, not killing is not enough to rectify the law of the country, not killing is not enough to rectify the family rules! "

In the rear, Lai Wang, who was tied up by the king's horse army, happened to hear it, and he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted: "Second master, spare my life, second master, spare my life... Master, spare my life, master, spare my life..."

Kowtow vigorously.

Jia Zheng was also angry, but in the end he couldn't bear it: "What is the truth, we need to find out before discussing..."

"Where is it necessary for us to investigate, the government has already found out the facts, sir, please take a look!"

As Jia Qing said, he took a large stack of official documents from Wang Shun.Jia Zheng took it, ho, it's really complete.The pleadings, confessions, transcripts, etc., have everything that should be there, and it is very complete.

"This..." Jia Zheng said, "You brought these back from the yamen?"

"Yes, Fu Yin gave it to me." Jia Qing said indifferently.

Jia Zheng said, "Shouldn't these be archived in the yamen?"

Jia Qing was speechless.Archive?How much do you want our Jia family to be convicted of this crime!
"Well, Mr. Fu Yin is a good man. He said that since Lai Wang'er is my servant, he can't do it for him. He simply gave me all these things, and let us deal with them ourselves."

Jia Zheng didn't pursue too much. After carefully looking at Wang'er's evidence, he became more and more annoyed, and finally said angrily, "Nie Zhan, where did you get so much money?"

Jia Qing chuckled, this sentence is the point.
