Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 236 Jia Mu’s arrangements, reporting to the official, and trapping Jia Qin (5)

Looking at the empty warehouse, everyone in the Jia family widened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

The warehouse related to the survival of the entire Jia family was actually emptied.

This is a huge blow to everyone in the Jia family.

If this matter spreads, their Jia family will become a joke in the entire aristocratic circle of Shenjing City.

Even without the silver items in the warehouse, it will be very difficult for the Jia family to maintain the luxurious life in the past.

It was Jia Mu who reacted like this.

He knew that Mrs. Wang had always been in charge of this warehouse.

Even though it was nominally handed over to Wang Xifeng, it only gave him management rights. If you want to take things from the warehouse, you need Mrs. Wang's permission.

So Jia Mu immediately looked at Mrs. Wang and her eyes turned cold.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then said to Jia Mu with a face full of grief and anger.

They all explained that two days ago, they and Mrs. Wang checked the warehouse together, and they definitely saw silver and items in the warehouse.

"Now that my suspicion has been eliminated, we shouldn't think about how to get the silver back. After all, it is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that are related to the life and death of our Rongguo Mansion."

"So the missing silver and items in the warehouse really have nothing to do with me."

But in just two days, all the items in the warehouse disappeared, and not a penny of money was left.

At this moment, Jia Qi also looked at Mrs. Wang.

After confirming that no silver was found, Mrs. Wang sighed and said to everyone.

"I called everyone over as soon as I found out. The first thing I did was to rule out my suspicion. Now it turns out that it has nothing to do with me. If I don't act quickly, the person who stole the money may have already taken the money with him. left."

"But what am I doing for?"

"From the second brother's family, please tell me, who is this person who has the warehouse of my Jia family in the center of Rongguo Mansion? He has the ability to move at least 350 taels or even millions of taels of silver from the center of my Jia family. Where are the things in the warehouse gone?"

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, six or seven servants knelt down together.

But because he had stolen all the money in his warehouse, he was able to expose the matter.

"From the second child's house, you have always been in charge of the warehouse. Now there is basically nothing in the warehouse. Come and tell me what happened?"

In this way, he can keep all of his greedy money for himself.

These people who testified against Mrs. Wang should also be greedy for money and money together with Mrs. Wang.

Not long after, a group of people came to Rongxi Hall where Mrs. Wang was, and searched through Rongxi Hall, but really found nothing.

"I even checked it specifically two days ago."

Only a little bit of silver and daily necessities were found in Mrs. Wang's private warehouse, but nothing else.

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, although Mother Jia said nothing, Jia She couldn't help but walked directly towards Rongxi Hall.

"I followed my mother's instructions and have never managed the accounts of Rongguo Mansion. However, after all these years, I still know a little bit about how much money there is in the mansion. This huge warehouse is empty. There should be at least thirty or fifty people there. Ten thousand taels of silver, or even 1,800,000 taels of silver."

After he said this, everyone realized that no matter who took the money, the most important thing is to find it.

"Mom, my daughter-in-law has been in charge of the family's warehouse for so many years. If I really want to move the things in this warehouse, it is indeed possible."

"And there are so many things in the big warehouse that I can't possibly spray out of the Rongguo Mansion, so where can I hide these things?"

"I can swear to God that I really didn't steal those people. If I did, I'll be struck by thunder."

"Besides, there were originally accounts of how many things were in this warehouse. It was clearly recorded on it that there were five to six hundred thousand taels of silver. But now the things are gone, and before that, there were all piles of things in this warehouse. Full of stuff.”

Jia She almost didn't say clearly that all the money and items were taken away by Mrs. Wang.

When the family members really need money, but he can't come up with it, then it will be a big deal.

"So all the money and items in the warehouse disappeared in just a few days."

"If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look in my private warehouse."

So what happened today was bound to happen because I took away Mrs. Wang's money.

Jia She thought about the life that he would have to struggle to get some money from the warehouse, and he looked at Mrs. Wang with the same gloomy eyes and said.

Since Mrs. Wang dares to talk about this matter, it means that Mrs. Wang is already prepared.

So they are all the same.

I'm afraid Mrs. Wang has stayed in this position for a long time.

Originally, without her own participation, Mrs. Wang might have wiped out the accounts bit by bit, or she would have flattened the accounts directly by building the Grand View Garden.

Although he may not have recovered the money in the end, the theft in the warehouse can be solved directly.

"I have been in the Jia family for so many years. Apart from some property, I don't have much left in the warehouse."

How should Mrs. Wang deal with this matter? How to find a way to solve this matter perfectly?

really.

"Many people in my family can vouch for this. After all, I need their help when checking the warehouse."

Only then did Jia Qi realize.

Jia She turned around and left without saying a word.

Jia Mu said angrily from behind.

"Boss, did you and Nie Zhan see everyone discussing things? Why did you leave?"

Although Jia She was rebellious, he was very filial. Hearing Jia Mu speak, he had to stop, turned around and bowed before saying.

"Mother, is there anything else to discuss about this matter? Regardless of whether it was done by the second family or not, the most important thing for us now is to quickly go to the government and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to find someone, and ask them to send someone to investigate as soon as possible, otherwise , the silver was really transported out of the city, and we couldn’t find it again if we tried to find it.”

"My son is going to find someone from the Wucheng Bingma Division now and help us investigate."

My mother also reacted, her face looked better now, she waved to him and said.

"You did the right thing. You also know the people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. Go and inform them and ask them to help investigate quickly."

Jia Shegong cupped his hands and turned around to leave.

Jia's mother looked at Jia Zheng who was silent next to her again and said.

"Second brother, if you are going to be an official again, you should know people from the Yamen. You go to the Yamen and tell them that my Jia family has lost money and ask them to help find it quickly."

Only then did Jia Zheng react, and he quickly agreed and walked out.

After Jia Mu arranged for her two sons, she looked at her two daughters-in-law and said.

"It will take a while for the people from the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Department and the Yamen to arrive. We also have to work hard to find it ourselves. The two of you will organize people to investigate and inquire about the people in our house to see if you can get some useful information. ”

Then, Jia Mu turned her attention to Jia Rong and the clan elders and said.

"Now you all know what is happening in Rongguo Mansion. It is related to whether Rongguo Mansion can have a good life in the future, and it is also related to everyone's future life, so please do your best."

"Brother Rong, go back and tell your father to gather the people from Ningguo Mansion and cooperate with us to help search for him."

"The bosses are also distributed throughout Ningrong Street. Go home and arrange for acquaintances to investigate the entire Ningrong Street to see if you find anything unusual."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

With so many people investigating, and people from the Yamen and the Wucheng Military and Horse Department joining in, even if this matter was really done by Mrs. Wang, it would be absolutely impossible to hide it.

So they were not in a hurry and started taking action as soon as they agreed.

At last.

Jia Mu's eyes fell on Jia Qi.

"Brother Chen, you have also seen the current situation in Rongguo Mansion. No matter what, you walked out calmly. Although you have left independently and become a viscount, you are still a member of Rongguo Mansion after all."

"Now, if something like this happens in Rongguo Mansion, I guess you won't not help, right?"

Jia Qi nodded and said very sincerely.

"What our ancestors said is that regardless of whether I am a viscount of the empire or not, I am still from Rongguo Mansion. Don't worry, although I don't know many people, I will definitely do my best to help Rongguo Mansion get the money back. "

Jia Qi was obviously pretending to be confused.

How could he not hear what Jia Mu meant? Let others be busy investigating, but when it comes to yourself, it becomes help.

After that, if you run out of money, you will naturally have to ask for help from yourself.

To be honest, he really doesn't care about money now.

The fundamental reason why he took money from the Wang family and the Jia family was to prevent Wang Ziteng from sending people to cause trouble for him during the month he was gone.

At the same time, it was also to cause trouble for Wang Ziteng so that he could no longer control his army.

As for letting other people give him advice and make money, he really doesn't have much interest.

Even after being reversed by the system, no matter how much money I make, what's the point?

With my current strength, it is not easy to get money.

So he really didn't want Jia Mu to say anything about letting him get the money.

That's why he said this, hoping to block Jia Mu's mouth.

But unexpectedly, Jia Mu was just silent for a moment and then continued with a smile.

"You are right. You are the person with the highest title in my Jia family, so I naturally want to help."

"But just let other people do the job of finding someone. Now, the biggest problem in Rongguo Mansion is that it will be difficult to maintain life in the future."

Jia Qi really didn't expect that this old lady would be so shameless.

If he had known earlier, he should have taken away all the old lady's 1.8 million taels of things.

But think about it and forget it.

If you really take away all the old lady's money, the Jia family will be finished.

I still need tool people like them to help me see if I can break through to the realm of earthly immortals?
Therefore, it is still necessary for these tool people to exist.

It's just that this old lady is dreaming if she wants to get money for herself.

Before the old lady could continue, Jia Qi continued.

"Ancestor, what you are saying is that something like this has happened in Rongguo Mansion now. If the money cannot be recovered next, there will be problems in the operation of Rongguo Mansion."

"Anyway, I was once a member of the Jia family, so I can't just sit back and watch."

"But ancestors, you also know that although I have made a lot of money, I am a lavish spender. I spent all the money I earned to do good deeds, just to do good deeds for my fake family."

"It's also because the deceased ancestors can live a better life down there, so I have spent all the money in my hands."

"But please don't worry, ancestors. Although I have no money, my wife has money."

"Especially the slaughterhouses that are just being built."

"Because of my wife, I built a slaughterhouse specifically to practice martial arts and knife skills. As a result, the slaughterhouse grew bigger and bigger, and now it is profitable."

"It's just that he doesn't control the profits from this slaughterhouse."

"If this slaughterhouse is built in my name, then I will definitely take all the money I earn to Rongguo Mansion."

"What a pity. He earned this money from my wife's dowry, so I can't ask for money from him."

"But you also said that no matter what, I went out to Rongguo Mansion. I can't just do nothing in this situation."

"After you finished speaking, I thought about it for a moment."

"Although I can't give money to Rongguo Mansion, I can let some people from Rongguo Mansion live in my mansion."

"Now that Rongguo Mansion is in such a difficult situation, I will naturally do my best."

"How about this? Let the three of them, Yingchun and Daiyu, plus Jia Huan and Jia Cong, take their maids and servants to live with me."

"There are also those in the Rongguo Mansion who are maids and wives. If they can't support them anymore, then they shouldn't be sent to me. It's easy for me to support a few more people."

Jia Mu suddenly choked.

What does she mean by this?

If he really gave away all the bastards, concubines, boys and maids in the family, and also gave away all the granddaughters, where would he be able to put his face as an old woman?
But after this kid said this, how could he ask for money from him?

Is it possible that he should be asked to ask for a dowry from his wife?
If he really spoke like this, he would be completely embarrassed.

It's even more embarrassing than sending someone over.

While he was hesitating, Jia Baoyu became anxious at this moment.

Originally, because Sister Lin and the others moved to Lixiangyuan, it took a long time for them to see each other.

But then at least there is a chance.

But if Sister Lin and Yingchun went to Jia Qi's house, he was afraid that he would never see them again.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu resisted the timidity in her heart and stood up resolutely.

"No, our Rongguo Mansion has not yet reached the point of leaving the people in the mansion to be taken care of by others. Sister Lin and the others will not go to your place."

At this point, Jia Baoyu's courage was basically gone.

When you look at Jia Qi's calm eyes, he stops. Instead of taking a step forward, he leans next to Jia Mu, looking at Jia Mu pitifully and saying.

"Grandma, you won't let your sisters leave, will you?"

Jia Mu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded firmly and said.

"That's right, Brother Qin, forget about taking them to your place. I also know that you don't have money now, let alone spend your wife's dowry money."

"What I just meant is that it is too difficult for Rongguo Mansion to maintain its current status. As someone who left Rongguo Mansion, you must learn from experience and lessons and open up the warehouse at home. You can't have the warehouse being destroyed like Rongguo Mansion. The robbery incident, otherwise your newly established mansion may be disbanded. "

Jia Qi felt funny in her heart.

But his face suddenly showed a look of gratitude and he said.

"Thank you for your concern, ancestor. I will explain this to my family when I go back. However, ancestor, you also know that I am going to practice immortality and alchemy outside the city, so I really don't have time to watch over you. I will try my best. Tell it in advance.”

At this point, he looked like he suddenly understood.

"Oh, ancestor, you see I have forgotten this. I have no control over this matter. I will tell my wife when I get back and let her pay attention. Anyway, I have no control over the money."

Mother Jia suddenly looked so angry that she couldn't control herself.

Knowing that she couldn't let this kid take the money, my mother didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him.

I just hope that he will quickly go to practice immortality and alchemy, and then find a way to transfer his title to Baoyu.

So he waved his hand impatiently and said.

"Whether it's yours or your wife's, it belongs to your family. You just have to pay attention to it. There are too many things going on in Rongguo Mansion now. You must not let anything happen again. Let him take care of it to avoid too many things. , it’s not easy to solve, you don’t have to worry about things here, just go back quickly, have a good rest, and leave the city tomorrow.”

"Okay, ancestor, I'll go back right now."

As soon as he reached the door, Jia She came with people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division.

After seeing this person, Jia Qi suddenly recalled the situation about this person.

Wucheng Military and Horse Division, Dongcheng Command Division, Qiu Liang.

He came to the Jia family many times to seek refuge with the Jia family, and finally got to where he is today with the help of the Jia family.

So it makes sense that he could come so quickly.

It's just that he was afraid that he didn't know that coming to pick him up this time would not be a good job.

Sure enough, with his ability to listen and argue, he heard Qiu Liang, who was being pulled by Jia She, say helplessly after entering the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

"Master Pardon, I was patrolling the streets, and you pulled me over in a hurry. Can't you tell me what's going on?"

"I can't explain a sentence or two. You've come with me, so let's go in and talk."

When Jia Qi heard this, he stopped listening.

Jia She knew that if he told the true situation, no one would be willing to come, so he pulled him over directly.

This old man does know some things about people, but he doesn't know if his cheap father can invite people here?
Jia Qi shook his head and walked back.

And the cheap dad who was being lamented by him also came to the Yamen at this time.
