The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 239
Not to mention stealing the tribute given by the palace, and using it to bribe the Shangguan of the household department, Jia Mu couldn't help being stunned by the Lai family's magical operation.

Shocked!

Stealing the imperial gift is a great crime, and then using bribes, so the two phases are superimposed, which is even more wrong.

Even if Jia Jing beat them to death, it was normal!

Seeing that Mother Jia fell silent there, the members of the Lai family panicked.

Nanny Lai even knelt down with a "puff" and wiped her tears, "Old lady, please see that the two children have been working as cattle and horses for the family these years, please be merciful, they must be here again I dare not!"

"This……"

Being begged by Nanny Lai kneeling in front of her, Mother Jia couldn't help hesitating.

Turning to Jia Jing, he asked, "Brother Jing, why don't you give them another chance! With the lesson learned this time, I won't dare to judge them again!"

"The old lady is used to pleading for mercy!"

Jia Jing glanced at Mother Jia, still with the polite and polite smile on her face, "You are kind-hearted, and you are used to protecting others, but don't be fooled by these lawless slaves! It’s today’s matter, so it’s not a trivial matter!”

This is a secret nod to Jia's mother. The matter of Mrs. Wang before, I still remember it in my heart!
And this time, things are not that simple.

If you want to be light-hearted, just let the Lai family go, Jia Jing said, no!Can!can! !
Jia Mu frowned slightly, and a trace of anger suddenly appeared in her heart.

How could she not hear the meaning of Jia Jing's words?This is because I still have opinions on myself!

This is to complain that my family didn't take care of Baochai at the beginning, and allowed Mrs. Wang to slap Daiyu Baochai severely in front of everyone. In addition, I later protected Mrs. Wang and never punished her.

Only then did Jia Jing become more and more alienated from herself.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother felt extremely regretful.

Recently, as Jia Jing's power and position became more and more grand, the gradual decline of the Jia family in the past is long gone.

With Jia Jing there, no matter whether it is the emperor in the palace or the ministers outside the palace, everyone has to be polite to the Jia family!
Such a scene of prosperity also made Jia Mu, who had always been cautious and took one step and three steps, changed her usual behavior. In terms of behavior and affairs, she gradually drifted away, and in terms of dealing with people, she gradually followed her own mood and preferences. coming.

This is the basis of disaster!
Just like before, Jia Mu's carelessness immediately caused Jia Jing to gradually alienate her, and now it's hard to reconcile...

Jiamu regretted it in her heart.

Over there, seeing that Jia Jing even refuted Jia's mother's words, Nanny Lai couldn't help but kneel.

Immediately, Nanny Lai raised her head and said loudly: "Master Hou, don't you even listen to the old lady's words?"

Inside and outside the words, there is actually a bit of a threat.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sue me for unfilial piety?" Jia Jing showed a bit of sarcasm, "The gate is there, you can try it!"

Nanny Lai was already desperate at this time, "Our Great Zhou established our country on the basis of filial piety and brotherhood. If His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor in the palace find out about this move of Lord Hou..."

Seeing that Nanny Lai's words went too far, Mother Jia slammed the crutch in her hand,

"enough!"

"Mother Lai, you have become more and more unruly lately!" Mother Jia said angrily, "Who are you? You can talk nonsense about filial piety and unfilial piety in the master's family?!"

Seeing Mother Jia's sudden anger, Mammy Lai couldn't help being surprised.

Today's Jia Mu is very different from usual!

For so many years, Mother Jia has always looked kind and kind, but Madam Lai has forgotten that Mother Jia was also a ruthless person.

Nanny Lai thought inwardly that it was not good, but her own family just passed by, and instead asked her family's backer to stand behind the opposite!
Immediately did not dare to say anything more.

In the main hall of Marquis Zhaowu's Mansion, there was a complete silence.

At this moment, Xue Baochai walked in with two books.

"Third brother, if you look at the statistics, there are indeed some problems in our books!"

Xue Baochai pointed to the records in the mansion above, and said: "Last year and this year alone, there were more than ten rare leathers in the treasury of our mansion reported damaged due to high tide and improper storage.

In addition, there are some expensive medicines, which are reported to be wasted for the same reason.

Finally, there are those things on the shelf..."

Xue Baochai paused, and then continued: "Because things are rarely moved after they are placed on the shelf, and today, six or seven of them have been replaced with clay sculptures and painted with colors. counterfeit."

Jia Jing couldn't help but laughed angrily, "If any of these crooked thoughts were used by these servants on the right path, they would probably have already caught our eyes and been reused. Why would they steal them? How many things?"

In the hall, the members of Lai's family didn't say a word.

Mother Jia also looked ugly, but today she was invited over by Nanny Lai, not to mention being a gunman, and losing her boss!

Involuntarily, when looking at Nanny Lai and Lai Da, Mother Jia's eyes became a little more serious.

…………

In the silence of everyone, time passed slowly.

Outside, a soldier hurried in and reported: "General, the Lai family's house has been almost completely searched!"

Look up at the sky outside.

Jia Jing nodded and said: "Go and call the servants from the mansions on both sides to let them know what will happen to slaves who don't obey the rules!"

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and went.

Jia Jing smiled again at Jia Mu, Jia Lian and the others: "Let's go, let's go there together, and take a look at how rich the Lai family's assets are!!"

In the main hall, the members of the Lai family wailed again.

But they were all easily pressed to the ground by the soldiers behind them, unable to move.

……

In the main courtyard of Zhaowuhou Mansion.

Several thick and strong flagpoles were erected high, and above them Lai Da Lai Er and Lai Shangrong were hoisted high and swinging around there.

The dense crowd of servants, standing on both sides of male and female, stared at the three Lai Da three who were hanging on the flagpole in front of them, talking a lot.

During the discussion, someone asked about the servant of the Hou family who knew the inside story.

Good guy!
Only then did the big guys realize that it turned out that this was a crooked idea on the master's family, and immediately lost their sympathy and curiosity for the Lai family members.

After getting the news, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and others rushed over one after another. In addition to Jia Lian who had come here earlier, all the male masters in the three mansions of the Jia family have been It's all here.

Those female family members, such as Jiamu, Mrs. Xing and Wang, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Youshi, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and several girls and cousins, have gone inside and cannot come out easily.

As for the many situations on the scene, they sent people to keep an eye on the movement outside.

After a while, Shuan Zhu came back with a few soldiers, pulling several carts of gold and silver in an ox cart.

These are all gold, silver and jewelry in the Lai family's treasury!

I'm afraid it's worth 10 taels of silver? !

Many servants were suddenly in an uproar.

Above, Jia Jing took the Lai family's list of assets, looked at it roughly, and saw that it was similar to what she expected, so she didn't bother to look at it carefully, and handed it to Jia Lian and Jia Zhen instead.

"Look, this is the property of the Lai family!"
