Red Mansion Jia Enhou
Chapter 218 Usury
Jia She said the words calmly, and Jia Mu's face turned pale.
Jia She is serious.
"Boss, are you really going to kill your mother?"
Jia She's expression changed.
"When did I say this? I just said that between Xiaojia and everyone, I would choose everyone."
"As long as mother doesn't mess around, I won't do anything to you."
Jia She reminds Jia Mu.
On the other side, Lin Zhixiao also arrived at Jia Mu's private treasury, which was guarded by two mothers-in-law.
Lin Zhixiao led people to the private treasury.
The two women looked at each other subconsciously, what is Lin Zhixiao doing here?
"The master has an order to open the old lady's private treasury."
Two young men, tall and thick, walked out from behind Lin Zhixiao. The young man held a hammer in his hand.
As long as these two women dared to stop them, they would just force their way through.
As for Jia Mu, Jia Mu is now a paper tiger. She seems to be powerful, but in fact, the power in her hands has been completely emptied.
In this mansion, Lin Zhixiao's words might not be as effective as Lin Zhixiao's words.
However, the two mothers-in-law did not dare to open the door to Lin Zhixiao. No matter what, Jia Mu was still the master.
As her servants, if they betray their master, they may lose their lives.
"I wonder if Butler Lin has any orders from the old lady?"
"We really don't dare to open without the old lady's order!"
The two women knelt down towards Lin Zhixiao with a look of embarrassment and pity.
"Force it!"
Lin Zhixiao gave the death order to the two boys. The boy hit the lock with a hammer, then two or three times, and the lock was involuntarily smashed open.
Lin Zhixiao's eyes fell on the two women. At this time, the two women were frightened by the appearance of the boy breaking the lock.
"Are you two going to continue to block me?"
Lin Zhixiao asked his mother-in-law.
The two women shook their heads desperately.
"I don't dare anymore, Butler Lin, please go in quickly!"
After saying that, the two women fainted, and they were just pretending to be faint.
As Jia Mu's servants, how could they not stop others from invading them?
"They are two smart ones!"
After Lin Zhixiao glanced at it lightly, he led people in to take stock.
At this time, Jia Mu's face was ashen, and she knew what was in the private treasury.
She was finished, and she would really have to rely on Jia She's breath to survive in the Rongguo Mansion from now on.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu couldn't help but blush.
I have been dependent on others for my whole life, and it will still be like this in the end.
Jia Lian came back from outside and arrived at his residence. Zhao was waiting for Jia Lian in the house.
Jia Lian entered the room and saw Zhao, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Why is grandma here?"
Since he no longer needed anyone to follow him, Mrs. Zhao returned home.
Normally, Mrs. Zhao would greet him when she came to see him, but today she did not.
"Does my brother know about the old lady's arrival?"
"What did Mommy hear?"
Zhao's information in this family is not generally well-informed.
Jia Lian, who knew what Zhao was going to say, frowned. Could it have spread to a small area so quickly?
Zhao took Jia Lian to sit down, and Jia Lian looked at Zhao pretending not to know.
"The old lady is afraid something is going to happen."
Jia Lian's eyebrows frowned more and more, something was wrong.
"I don't know what mistake the old lady made this time. The eldest man actually sent someone to raid her private treasury."
"There is also Master Jing. Master Jing also called someone over."
"Old lady, nothing will happen to her!"
After all calculations, Zhao should be regarded as Jia Mu's person.
From the beginning, she was sent to Jia Lian by Jia Mu.
Jia Lian looked Zhao up and down, and his expression became serious.
"What do you want to ask, mama?"
Zhao's expression became embarrassed.
"I just want to ask about the old lady's situation."
"Did someone ask you about Rongguo Mansion?"
Zhao's face was suddenly shocked when Jia Lian saw through it.
"What did my brother say?"
"I'm just an old woman, who can ask me?"
Zhao's eyes averted with a guilty conscience.
"Historian?"
Jia Lian refused to beat around the bush and told her directly.
Apart from Shi Jia, he really couldn't guess who else.
The Shi family also gave Jia Mu a room with her at that time.
In Rongguo Mansion, all the people with the surname Lai and Zhao are the companions of Jia Mu.
As the name suggests, the accompanying roommate is the person who is taken care of by the woman's natal family.
Unless these people have stayed in this family for several lifetimes, they are outsiders.
Zhao was a little panicked, when did my brother become so powerful?
"Brother, stop guessing, I'm just asking!"
"Really just asking?"
"I have always treated you as my own mother, please don't do anything sorry to me, otherwise"
Jia Lian didn't say the rest of the words, but Zhao also knew what Jia Lian meant and lowered his head in silence.
"I know that you treat me well, brother. No matter how much others give me, I will never do anything detrimental to you, brother."
"Then tell me who asked you to come to my place to inquire about things."
Zhao's face looked a little embarrassed, then she looked at Jia Lian, gritted her teeth and said, "They are my parents."
"When someone comes to ask them, they come to me to ask."
"Historian?"
Jia Lian asked Zhao again. Zhao took a deep breath and nodded.
"Absolutely right."
"My parents have always been in contact with relatives from the Shi family. This time, it is probably the Shi family who sent people to inquire about them."
"I knew it was!"
A look of understanding appeared on Jia Lian's face.
"What did you ask?"
Zhao's head lowered.
"Second Master, don't ask. It's all about the old lady."
"The Shi family will not harm you, you can rest assured."
Jia Lian didn't say anything, but Zhao suddenly felt that Jia Lian had changed.
Probably not as innocent as before.
"Second Master?"
Zhao called Jia Lian softly, and Jia Lian nodded lightly, without any change in the expression on his face.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help crying.
"Second Master has a grudge against me?"
Zhao cried and asked Jia Lian, but Jia Lian said nothing.
Mrs. Zhao started crying harder and harder, and Jia Lian sighed helplessly.
"do not Cry!"
Jia Lian opened his mouth to comfort Zhao.
"I know what the historian wants to know."
"I don't want it, just say so!"
"Are you really not complaining about me, or are you pretending not to blame me?"
Zhao asked Jia Lian, but Jia Lian was silent and did not dare to look at Zhao.
How could he not respond? Who would have thought that the person who grew up with him would not be of the same mind as him.
She even said that she was still spying on him.
No one would be able to accept this.
"I know, Second Master!"
"I will try to appear in front of you as little as possible in the future!"
Zhao was about to turn around and leave.
Jia Lian's eyes fell on Zhao's back. Until Zhao left, Jia Lian didn't say anything, just sighed deeply.
On the other side, Lin Zhixiao had already raided Jia Mu's private treasury. Everything that has not yet been found in the public treasury is basically in Jia Mu's place.
In addition to this, Jia Mu's private treasury has a total of two hundred thousand yuan.
When Jia Mu got married, the Shi family only prepared 30,000 taels of silver in cash for her.
Jia's mother was not good at managing money. Over the past thirty or forty years, a considerable part of her farm shops had suffered losses.
The rest are either closed or barely holding steady.
After excluding Jia Daishan and giving it to Jia Mu, where did she get the rest of the money?
Lin Zhixiao took the compiled account books and headed east across the courtyard.
After a while, Lin Zhixiao arrived.
The atmosphere in the room was eerily quiet. Jia Mu sat dejectedly, and Jia She closed her eyes to rest.
Mrs. Han really couldn't stand the atmosphere and went into the house to see Mrs. Xing.
At that time, Qin Keqing was secretly stuffing something into Mrs. Xing's mouth. Mrs. Xing chewed it slowly and swallowed it.
Mrs. Xing, who saw Mr. Han coming in, blinked at Ms. Han.
Mrs. Han walked over with a smile and whispered to Mrs. Xing: "Lie down well, I will hide in your room for a while."
Mrs. Xing nodded and quickly made room for Han, who sat down.
Lin Zhixiao, who was standing outside the door, ordered the servant to go in and report.
The boy guarding the door nodded towards Lin Zhixiao, then opened the door and walked in.
"Master, Butler Lin is back!"
Jia She opened his eyes.
"Let him in!"
Jia Mu became restless.
She was scared, and she found out everything after checking her private treasury.
Don't worry about face then, everything will be gone, so why is she still alive?
However, no one in the room paid her any attention.
Jia She motioned to the boy to let Lin Zhixiao in.
Lin Zhixiao was brought in by the servant.
Jia She's eyes fell on Lin Zhixiao, and Lin Zhixiao bowed respectfully to Jia She.
"The old lady's private treasury has been investigated, sir!"
"How about it!"
Jia She asked Lin Zhixiao, but actually he already had a rough idea in his mind.
Jia Mu's ability to take out 80,000 taels of silver at a time is enough to show that her private treasury is full.
Lin Zhixiao handed over the account book.
"The old lady has a total of two hundred thousand taels of silver in her private treasury."
"There are countless utensils in the mansion!"
"Everything has been recorded in the account. Please take a look at it."
Jia She nodded and took it, looking through it carefully.
The most belongings were Mrs. Rong's things, which were his grandmother's things.
Jia She frowned and passed the account book in his hand to Jia Jing.
Jia Jing took it, and Jia She's eyes fell on Jia Mu.
"Mom, do you have anything else to say?"
Jia Mu stared straight at Jia She and remained silent.
After flipping through the account books, Jia Jing pressed his head with a headache. His aunt was really brave.
"What are you going to do with Brother Shen?"
Jia Jing asked about the disposal of these properties.
"What's in the public treasury, put it back into the public treasury."
"As for the extra silver."
Jia She sighed in silence.
"Mother, I'm curious how you got all this money."
Jia Mu smiled disdainfully at Jia She and said nothing.
This made Jia She panic. This was what he was most wary of.
Two hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. If you want to get it from selling things, you have to sell them in large quantities.
Selling in large quantities, it is impossible for Rongguo Mansion not to notice.
Jia She thought about the usury money and asked whether Jia's mother had also loaned out the money.
"Lin Zhixiao, go to the historian's house and invite grandma and the uncle of the historian!"
"Besides, who is in charge of the old lady's affairs outside?"
Jia She asked Lin Zhixiao, and Lin Zhixiao replied: "I used to be Lai Da's father, but now he seems to be a steward named Cheng."
"Cheng"
Jia She didn't have much impression of this person.
Lin Zhixiao explained to Jia She.
"This person is not from the Rongguo Mansion. He used to be the old lady's companion, and he worked in the mansion in obscurity. It was not until Lai Da's father died twenty years ago that he was brought up."
"Not long after, the old lady left in the name of letting him manage Zhuangzi."
"In other words, he is in charge of our village now?"
Jia She asked Lin Zhixiao.
Lin Zhixiao shook his head towards Jia She.
"No, sir, this person did not go to take care of Zhuangzi. Instead, he was arranged by the old lady to go to a shop."
Jia She became more and more vigilant, and she was inseparable. Jia Mu would let the usury go.
She even went as far as to say that she had taken over the matter of champerty.
After all, loan money comes slowly, and those who can borrow money are all miserable. How much money can you have in your hand, and how much can you repay.
This is not as profitable as soliciting litigation.
"The Shi family will send others to go. You should catch this man named Cheng yourself!"
Jia She told Lin Zhi to practice filial piety.
Lin Zhixiao nodded to Jia She with a serious face.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely catch the man named Cheng!"
"Go!"
Lin Zhixiao left, and Jia Jing had not yet reacted to the incident.
The three women in the back room even looked at each other.
Han looked outside thoughtfully.
Mrs. Xing frowned, and Qin Keqing looked at Han in confusion.
"Auntie, what did the old lady do to get so much money?"
Qin Keqing asked Han in confusion, and Han rubbed Qin Keqing's head with her hands.
"You're still young, don't ask, just know it's something bad!"
Qin Keqing nodded.
Mrs. Xing's eyebrows frowned more and more. What bad thing was that?
"Sister-in-law, are you willing to answer my questions?"
Mrs. Xing asked Han in a low voice.
Mrs. Han shook her head towards Mrs.
Mrs. Xing nodded and was helped to lie down.
If you don’t tell her, she won’t ask.
Lin Zhixiao went outside and quickly found the person who put the usury money on Jia Mu's behalf.
The person who loaned us money is now in the shop giving a lesson to the young boy.
After spotting the person, under the command of Lin Zhixiao, the waiter led a group of people and swarmed up and caught the person in one fell swoop.
Cheng San was caught with shock on his face.
Lin Zhixiao came out from behind the boy.
Cheng San was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Zhixiao's face, and then a hint of sinisterness disappeared from his eyes.
"What kind of wind is blowing today? Why did it bring you here, Butler Lin?"
Listening to Cheng San's strange words, Lin Zhixiao's expression did not change at all, and he directly ordered: "Tie them up and take them away!"
"Who dares!"
Cheng San began to struggle.
"Who gave you the courage to catch me!"
"I belong to the old lady!"
"No one can arrest me without the old lady's order!"
The boy was holding on tightly, and the people restraining him were all young and strong men. It was almost impossible for him to break free.
Cheng San's eyes were filled with blood because he used too much force.
"Lin Zhixiao, you are so brave, I want to find the old lady!"
"I want to find the old lady!!"
Lin Zhixiao looked at him with a cold snort.
"It's useless to look for it. The old lady has already crossed the river with the Ni Bodhisattva. How can she find it?"
