The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 1287 A Wicked Servant Deceives His Master?

Inside the Rongguo Mansion,

Upon suddenly learning that the Lai family's property had been confiscated, both Jia Zheng and Jia She were stunned.

Although they knew Zhang Cheng was not someone to be trifled with, they never expected that he would start fighting so fiercely as soon as he entered Ningguo Mansion!

Thinking of this, Jia She and Jia Zheng hurriedly arrived at the Lai family's gate.

However, the two were shocked when they walked in, because the Lai family was so prosperous.
Seeing the boxes being carried out and placed in the yard, Qiu Liang quickly stepped forward and said, "Greetings, uncles!"

"No need to be polite!"

When Qiu Liang spoke, Jia Zheng and Jia She immediately nodded in response.
Just then, Zhang Cheng said with a big smile, "Are you two uncles here to freeload?"

"Jue-ge'er, what are you doing? What did the Lai family do to make you so cruel!"

Looking at the blue bricks that hadn't yet been washed by the rain, Jia Zheng spoke up, quite angrily.
Looking at Jia Zheng, who seemed like a pure white lotus flower, Zhang Cheng truly didn't know what to say to him.

Because Jia Zheng was simply bookish and foolish, he hadn't learned any of the political maneuvering of aristocratic families!

If we're talking about what bad things Jia Zheng did in Dream of the Red Chamber, then the only thing he probably did was beat his son Jia Zhu to death!
However, from then on, Jia Zheng seemed to have lost his spirit!
"Uncle, why are you condemning me? Why don't you take a look at these things first!"

Zhang Cheng kicked over a box and smiled.
But when the gold and silver were scattered all over the ground, even Jia Zheng, who did not covet luxury, was dumbfounded, because how could the Lai family have so much treasure?

"These, these all belong to the Lai family?"

Looking around the courtyard in disbelief, Jia Zheng was immediately taken aback when he saw that there were more than ten boxes there.
"Uncle, are you joking? Do you think I need to bring money myself to frame the Lai family?"

Looking at Jia Zheng with a mocking expression, Zhang Cheng burst into laughter.
"Crack!"

Clenching his fists, Jia She's eyes turned red with envy upon witnessing this scene.

However, this was not because the Lai family was rich and they were envious, but because the Lai family dared to empty the Jia family's pockets like this, which angered them!
If the Lai family, as the masters, dared to do this, wouldn't that mean the entire Rong and Ning mansions are full of parasites?
"Damn it, damn it, the Lai family deserves to die!"

He spoke angrily, and Jia She couldn't help but rebuke him.

Seeing Jia Zheng's incredulous expression, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Compared to the Lai family, Uncle, do you know that the Rongguo Mansion's public funds are insufficient? Who is actually embezzling?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Jia Zheng was immediately taken aback and asked, "Brother, is the public funds insufficient?"

"Do you think Uncle She will tell you? After all, you spend your days engaging in idle talk and don't even know how much silver the two prefectures have embezzled or how much they owe the Ministry of Revenue!"

Looking calmly at Jia Zheng, Zhang Cheng stepped forward and said, "Uncle, the man beside you is practically moving the entire Jia family to the Prince's Mansion! If you don't do something about it, I'm afraid the Rongguo Mansion won't last ten years!"

As if struck by lightning, Jia Zheng was completely dumbfounded.
Because he never imagined that Madam Wang, who chanted Buddhist scriptures all day long, would dare to do such a thing!

"Whoever sees it gets a share! Whoever sees it gets a share! Let's split this silver 50/20!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng had the silver loaded onto the carriage, and then said to Qiu Liang, "Do you know what to do next?"

"Don't worry, Jue-ge'er, Qiu Liang knows how to handle this!"

With a broad smile, Qiu Liang took out a stack of lawsuits and said, "Uncle, why don't you take these back and look at them yourself?" Jia Zheng opened the documents Qiu Liang handed him and froze, exclaiming in astonishment, "How could these lawsuits be orders from my Rongguo Mansion?"

Startled, Jia She rushed to snatch the item from Jia Zheng, but in the next second, he felt a wave of dizziness and darkness wash over him.
Covering his mouth, Jia She nearly coughed up blood.
Because he completely underestimated Madam Wang. She wasn't just brainless; she was trying to drag the Jia family into the abyss!

Looking at the lawsuits they've taken on, it's likely that the Lai family has abused the Rongguo Mansion's "prestige" to harm many people over the years!

"I'm going to kill that whore! I'm going to kill that whore!"

With an angry roar, Jia Zheng was seen to have completely lost his temper.

Because this involves not only the Lai family's affairs, but also Wang Xifeng's misappropriation of funds, which caused the family to be ruined and destroyed!
As the person in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, it would be untrue to say that Madam Wang was unaware of Wang Xifeng's actions.

Perhaps this path was found for Wang Xifeng by Lady Wang herself?
After all, if the matter of Wang Xifeng releasing the seal were to come to light, who would benefit?

Since Jia Lian has lost his right to inherit the title, the only victor in the end is his eldest son!

Don't even mention Jia Zong; given his transparent situation, Madam Wang could probably kill him outright in the mansion!
Just like Jia Huan's mother, Aunt Zhao, was she really stupid?
You have to understand, she was chosen by Jia's mother to be Jia Zheng's concubine. If she didn't act like a rascal, would Jia Huan have survived?

What kind of person would believe in Buddhism? Only those who are deeply sinful and unable to extricate themselves would believe in Buddhism!

Chen Guilin: So, you believe in the Three Pure Ones?

Zhang Cheng: Still chanting scriptures? I want to clear out the people, clear the area, and clear out the magazines!

Several days later, inside the Ningguo Mansion,

Amidst the pavilions and terraces, craftsmen were working according to the instructions of the Earl of Zhongwu.
Walking along the path, Jia Wei stepped forward and said, "Uncle, you guessed right. When Grandpa Zheng went back, he almost beat Madam Wang to death. He couldn't stop her. The noise was so loud that the whole Rongning Street knew about it. Even Zhou Rui and the others who came with her dowry were beaten to death with sticks! If it weren't for the Jia family patriarch stopping them, things would have been quite a sight!"

"Really? That's really interesting!"

With a broad smile and raised eyebrows, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but tease him.

He gave money to Jia Zheng and Jia She on purpose!
Even the things in Qiu Liang's hands were given to them by Zhang Cheng; otherwise, how could he watch the show if the Rongguo Mansion had quieted down?
After all, they're neighbors. If he doesn't cause trouble, is he still a good neighbor?
He has to choose between messing with people and causing trouble, right?

Compared to Lady Wang's situation, Wang Xifeng also had no chance of escape. She almost had her killed by Jia Lian before Jia She returned.
If Wang Xifeng hadn't knelt on the ground, weeping and pleading, and revealed that Zhou Rui had instigated her to release the seal, she probably wouldn't have escaped death either.
Jia She's "bastard" act was an act, but Lady Wang's bastard status was genuine!

After all, he's not a scoundrel. How could you possibly think of using the Rongguo Mansion's name to solicit lawsuits and commit such a heinous act?

Finally, Jia Zheng took out 30,000 taels of the 200,000 taels confiscated from the family's property to compensate each household, which finally settled the matter!

Otherwise, in the end, this matter will certainly not fall on Lady Wang's head, but all the men of the Jia family will be implicated!

This is just like Daisy. It doesn't matter that the Jiang family went bankrupt; she and her sister just found an excuse to run away. Does it have anything to do with her sister? She's still living a carefree life in Italy!
But what could the Chiang family do? Stay and take the blame and incur debts!

Humming a little tune, Zhang Cheng walked through the garden, but just then, a reprimanding voice rang out: "Who do you think you are, daring to take Second Sister's things to pawn? Is this a wicked servant bullying his master?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Cheng immediately craned his neck, for wasn't that Lin Daiyu's voice?
You know, Zhang Cheng hasn't paid any attention to Lin Daiyu lately, so she's quite clever; she's directly brought the three sisters over to play.
Even if Grandmother Jia knew, she couldn't refuse, after all, this was her own granddaughter, and Zhang Cheng was not someone to be trifled with!
