The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 486 Prelude [[-]]

However, under Wang Xifeng's guidance, Mrs. Wang naturally wanted to go wrong, thinking that it must be aimed at herself.

however……

It would be reasonable to say that Jia Zheng was looking for reasons to alienate himself for the sake of face, after all, he is the kind of character who wants to save face and suffer.

But how could he, a master who cares about face, entrust the 'family scandal' to the servants to investigate?

This doesn't make sense!

After thinking about it, Mrs. Wang still felt that this matter was quite strange, and she needed to find ways to distinguish the authenticity before making a fuss.

So after sending away Sister Feng, he ordered Zhou Rui's family to investigate secretly.

The result was as expected as what Lin Zhixiao's family said!

Now Mrs. Wang became more and more suspicious, thinking that Jia Zheng was so indifferent, could it be that he was determined to find out something, and then took the opportunity to divorce herself?

After the previous incidents, Mrs. Wang has long been disheartened towards Jia Zheng. She originally thought that the ancient Buddha with a green lantern would die in this garden. Who would have thought that Jia Zheng would still be relentless, even at the expense of embarrassing her family? Outward...

Decades of couples, why is this so? !

The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and in a fit of anger, she went to the Rongxi Hall by herself, and coldly dismissed the servant girl, and asked straight to the point: "What are you going to do to stop?!"

Jia Zheng's health has been getting better recently, but every time he thinks that Jiao Shun was promoted to the engineering school, but he lost his job as the doctor in charge, he feels depressed, hates, regrets, envies and envies.

If not, when Lai Da mentioned Jiao Shun yesterday, he wouldn't lose his composure on the spot.

This afternoon, he was practicing calligraphy in the house, when he saw his wife came looking for him in a panic, questioning himself inexplicably.

At first, Jia Zheng thought that he had neglected his wife for so many days, but she finally couldn't hold back anymore, so she put down the wolf hair in her hand and sneered, "What do I want? Thank you for asking!"

As he spoke, he poked hard on the table with his index finger and said, "Could it be that you are forced to abide by your duty as a wife and mother?!"

"you!"

Mrs. Wang stomped her feet angrily: "So, you are the one who asked Lai Da to investigate secretly?!"

"Let Lai Da check?"

Jia Zheng was slightly taken aback, and said in astonishment: "Why did Lai Da check, what are you talking about?!"

If he said this at the beginning, Mrs. Wang would probably be skeptical.

But as soon as Jia Zheng opened his mouth, he was tit for tat, insisting that she did not abide by her duties as a wife and mother. How could Mrs. Wang believe it when she was angry?

He only decided that he was just trying to argue, and immediately flicked his sleeves, gnashed his teeth and said, "Why, you dare to do it, but don't you dare to take it?! I don't know how many things in this mansion can be hidden from me? Lai Da's man As soon as I made a move, four or five ways were given to me!"

As soon as the words came to this point, Mrs. Wang simply didn't leave any leeway: "Don't think that I don't know, you deliberately poured dirty water on my head because you couldn't do it at the top, and you wanted to lose face!"

"you you!"

Jia Zheng heard that there seemed to be something strange about this, and was about to ask in detail, but Mrs. Wang suddenly revealed her secretiveness, the blood all over her body was rushing upwards, and her forehead was buzzing, but that Can you still take care of others?

Immediately, he slapped the table violently, and said in a trembling voice: "What a naughty woman, what a naughty woman! You don't obey women's morals, and now you dare to fight back... Cough cough cough!"

He coughed hard a few times, and his old face, which was originally flushed, turned into a liver color.

To be honest, he suspected that Mrs. Wang was having an affair with Jiao Shun at the beginning, and he did have the idea of ​​alienating Mrs. Wang in order to save himself some dignity.

But how could Jia Zheng admit such things?

Not only did he deny it with his mouth, but he also decided to deny it in his heart!
So it was easy to recover after waiting, and he raised his finger to Madam Wang's nose and asked: "If you really have a clear conscience, how can you be afraid of being questioned?!"

When Madam Wang heard the words, she only thought that he had completely recognized him, slapped the finger away, and said angrily: "You are useless yourself, but you want to think others dirty! Good, good, good! Didn't you want to Do you want to investigate? Let’s start from the beginning and find out how you got this disease first, so that the old lady and the children can see what is self-inflicted, what is called "stop thief", and what is "slapped back!"

"You, you... cough cough cough!"

Jia Zheng was so angry that he was clutching his chest and coughing, and seeing Mrs. Wang watching with cold eyes, his lungs were getting more and more angry. After finally recovering, he suddenly pushed it to the desk and shouted: "Get the hell out of here... Whoops!"

He didn't want the desk to be heavy and big, but it was as stable as Mount Tai. On the contrary, he used too much force, staggered and fell directly on his buttocks.

Mrs. Wang showed disdain, turned around and walked away with a snort.

Jia Zheng gasped on the ground for a long time, then struggled to get up, leaned on the table and scolded Mrs. Wang for a full quarter of an hour, and when his breath gradually subsided, he remembered the strange thing he discovered earlier. place.

Just now Mrs. Wang insisted that she was sending someone to investigate her. Judging from the assertive posture, it should not be groundless.

But I clearly didn't mean to magnify things!
There must be something strange in this!
Thinking of this, he ordered loudly: "Come on, hurry up and find Shan Daliang!"

Not to mention how Jia Zheng sent people to investigate.

But when Mrs. Wang returned to the hut in Qingtang, the more she thought about it, the more she felt unwilling.

It is said that the husband is the guide for the wife, but the old saying also goes that 'the king treats his ministers like grass, and the ministers treat the emperor like a bandit'!
Since he disregarded the relationship between husband and wife so much, why did he bother to abide by women's morals? !

She originally had some absurd and delusional thoughts, but now that the shackles were released, she was out of control. From afternoon to night, she became more and more serious. At the beginning, it was purely out of anger, but later on, she gradually developed a rebellious excitement...

…………

the other side.

Returning home, Jiao Shun went through the idea of ​​cutting up Lai's family from beginning to end. After smoothing out the general train of thought, he prepared to wait for the birthday banquet tomorrow and wait for an opportunity to break up with Ping'er.

Then he put this matter behind him, took a car out of the back door of Rong Mansion, and rushed to Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

Since it was Xue Biao's one-man show in the morning, he was afraid that he would be bumped into by others and self-defeating, and would be seen to have planned a long time ago, so he could only stay at home to comfort the girls.

But when the matter broke out, it would be logical for him to appear as a related person.

Speechless all the way.

When we got to the Yamen Gate of Shuntian Mansion, we saw that the gate of the Yamen diagonally opposite had already set up a notice.

This is the next step in the plan after suing the officials to no avail. On the grounds that the account book is very important and he is in a hurry to go home to serve his sick mother, Xue Biao posted a private list outside the gate of Shuntian Mansion, offering a reward of 3000 taels of silver to redeem the account book.

Generally speaking, apart from the official documents of the Shuntian Mansion, private notices are not allowed to be posted outside the gate of the Shuntian Mansion, but who made the presiding person be the son of the Rongguo Mansion?
The yamen servants on the opposite side not only turned a blind eye, but also specially divided into two guards in front of the private list to maintain order.

Jiao Shun glanced at him from a distance, and there was a servant of the Rong Mansion who knew his car, and he had already invited Baoyu and Xue Biao from the nearby Dingxiang Building.

The grief and indignation on Xue Biao's face is inexplicable, while Baoyu's is depressed.

Jiao Shun thought they were all actors, so he went up to them and casually asked, "Where's Brother Wenlong? Why are you the only two?"

Xue Biao hurriedly explained: "My brother couldn't hold back, so I didn't dare to let him out."

Baoyu shook his head at the side: "It's hard to hold it down."

Jiao Shun suddenly realized that this matter was just told to Xue Pan today - after all, it would be really strange if he didn't come forward for such a big matter.

But Xue's big head has always been unable to hide his thoughts, if he appeared in front of people with a face eager to try, I'm afraid that someone who is interested will see that something is wrong.

Jiao Shun glanced back at the crowd in front of the private list, met someone's eyes casually, then nodded slightly without showing any signs, and then entered the restaurant surrounded by Baoyu and Xue Biao.

But before the private list, countless spectators were pointing at the list.

"See what this means. Could it be that the Xue family has to pay 3000 taels of silver when the thief sent the account book?"

"It's written like this, but if the thief really dares to come, I'm afraid he will have his life to take the money but not his life to spend it!"

"Who do you say got this thing?"

"It goes without saying that the designated person is from Dali Temple! I have heard that the Xue family was dismissed because of their relationship with Mr. Jiao from the Ministry of Industry! Think about it, to disgust Mr. Jiao, If you can even withdraw your relatives, what does it matter if you leave an account book?”

"How did I hear that it wasn't a relationship, but an affair?"

"Don't care about his legs! This is really copying. I heard that in addition to the ledger, there are also 2000 taels of silver bills! If you receive the reward silver, wouldn't it add up to 5000 taels?! "

"Then what is the essay on the list?"

"It's just things that I jot down casually, bits and pieces..."

"Hey~ How do you think the thief will get the money? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not dare to come and get it directly."

"If it were me, just..."

Just as he was talking, someone in the back row suddenly threw something towards the private list.

The thing was placed on the wooden signboard of the private list, and it fell to the ground with a thud. Everyone could clearly see it, but it was a paper ball wrapped in something hard!
"Who, who lost it?!"

The two yamen servants who guarded the list were taken aback, and hurriedly picked up rubber sticks to make gestures and shouted - this was originally prepared by Jiao Shun for the picket team, but the Ministry of Industry saw that it was useful, so it simply promoted it as "political achievements" to the public security The yamen of demand.

And the Xue family servant who was also keeping the list hurriedly went forward to pick up the ball of paper and peeled it off for a look.

After reading it, he nervously raised his head for a few glances, and saw that the crowd was in a mess, but no one stood up to admit it, so he hurriedly ran to the restaurant to report the news with the ball of paper.

Seeing this, the spectators became more and more clamoring.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, this must be a thief 'throwing stones to ask for directions'!
There was a person who was eager to reward the silver, seeing that everyone around him was shining, wishing to catch the thief on the spot, so that he could take the 3000 taels of silver for himself, but it was a pity that it was too messy, and no one saw who threw the paper ball.

"What was written on the ball of paper?"

"Mostly it's about paying the money with one hand and the account book with the other."

"I just don't know how the thief wants to deal."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw Xue Biao rushing out, jumped onto the table that had been prepared a long time ago by the private list, and said loudly: "The Xue family has agreed to the conditions you offered, and I will separate the money tonight... "

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment, Jiao Shun, who was chasing after him from behind, stopped him 'just in time', swept the room full of stern eyes, and raised his voice, "How do we know that the thing is really in your hands? There must be a proof Bar?!"

The onlookers also thought it was reasonable when they heard this. If there were those who were eager to reward money and pretended to be thieves to cheat, wouldn't the Xue family lose their wife and lose their soldiers?

"This lord is right, there should be a certificate, so that we can pay the money and deliver the goods!"

"But how can this be proved?"

"It's not easy, just copy a few pages from the account book and send it over!"

"Yes, yes, let him copy a few pages of the account book and send it. If it is correct, it is true!"

I don't know who in the crowd came up with an idea, but it was unanimously approved by everyone.

However, Xue Biao suddenly changed his color, and blurted out: "It's absolutely impossible!"

The spectators were silent, and immediately looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing that Xue Biao was silent for a while in embarrassment, he stumbled and said, "That ledger, that ledger is my family's secret. Although it is useless to others, it is not easy to leak it..."

After hearing this, everyone knew that there must be some kind of privacy involved in the ledger.

Thinking about it carefully, this is normal, if not, why would the Xue family offer a reward in such a hurry?

At this time, another human said: "Isn't there still an essay, let him copy a few pages and send it, won't it also prove that the thing is in his hands?"

All the spectators were stunned, because they saw Xue Biao hesitated, and someone joked: "Young Master Xue, don't you also write some secrets in that essay?"

"Why is the Xue family so shady?"

"It's strange that people will withdraw their marriage!"

Xue Biao's face was very ugly, especially when someone mentioned the matter of divorce, he was even more angry, so he gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I, Xue Biao, can walk and sit upright, and it's just some trivial matters in my family. There is something shameful - if the thing is really in your hands, you can just copy it down!"

Only then did the spectators boo and applaud.

And this dramatic scene was quickly spread throughout the capital.

Quite a few people were curious about what was written in the essay.

However, since then, there has been no movement for two or three days.

Everyone began to discuss, saying that the person who delivered the paper balls that day was probably a liar looking for money.

Some people wondered why the real thief didn't exchange the 3000 taels of reward silver like a gourd painting?

Could it be that there is some more valuable secret hidden in the Xue family's ledger?
This matter was full of twists and turns, not to mention Jiao Shun secretly fueling the flames, so it was hot all the time.

And because of this, every newspaper published additional articles praising the Mei family, the Xue family, and Jiao Shun.

In a blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of September.

On the guillotine at Caishikou this morning, someone posted dozens of transcribed articles.

Another bloody banner was hung in the middle, reading:

A certain person originally only wanted to make money, but he didn't want to but was outraged, so he posted the full text of Xue's essay here for the world to comment on!

at the same time.

The newspapers that go on sale every Friday have also been distributed to newsstands...
