The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 240 The Ending of the Lai Family
On the steps of Yimen in Wuhou Mansion, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian trembled as they looked at the list of assets in their hands.

This is being pissed off!

On this list of assets, all the food and clothing expenses of the Lai family, furniture and playthings, etc., as well as many goods in the warehouse, are all listed one by one.

There are also some real estate title deeds, family documents, etc., which have also been carefully sealed.

"3000 taels of gold, 12 taels of full silver, [-] strings of big money..."

The more they read, the lower the voices of Jia Zhen and Jia Lian became, and the back molars gradually began to bite.

As the housekeeper of the Jia family, Lai Da Lai Er, the monthly bill is only five or six taels. Even though they know that they are housekeepers, there will be some other income deductions, but Jia Zhen and Jia Lian never expected that it would be like this Such a big penny!
These gold, silver and copper coins alone are equivalent to more than [-] taels of silver.

Ningguo Mansion or Rongguo Mansion, the cash money of any one family alone, I'm afraid it can't compare with this slave Lai's family!
Before seeing the end, Jia Zhen handed the list to Jia Lian, turned around and snatched the riding whip from one of the soldiers, pointed at Lai Er hanging on the flagpole, and said angrily: "You have lost your conscience, I Jia The family treats you so kindly, but you Shuo Shu can't wait to move all the warehouses in the mansion to your own house!
In the past, if you made a little money, master, I think that you have to support a large family in your family, so you just turn a blind eye and close one eye; outside, you are proud of being the son of the family, showing off your power, and I don’t like you. Care about!

Unexpectedly, now you have developed such a dissatisfied and greedy temperament. Did you almost replace the plaque on our house with yours? ! "

Before the words were finished, the whip in Jia Zhen's hand was already whipped heavily.

"Crack! Crack!"

After a few crisp sounds, bloodstains quickly appeared on Lai Er's body where the whip fell.

Lai Er howled and twisted his body continuously, trying to avoid the whip that was whipped.

However, now Lai Er is being hoisted in the air, unable to use his strength up and down, how can he escape?
Therefore, many servants only saw that the whip in Jia Zhen's hand fell on Lai Er's body one after another.

Amidst the heart-piercing howls of his second uncle, Lai Shangrong, who was hanging beside him, only felt a heat in his crotch, and a hot yellow liquid slipped down his thigh...

But at this time with the long whip in front, Lai Shangrong couldn't care less about his family's shame, and hurriedly shouted, "I was exempted from slavery when I was born, and I am no longer a servant of your Jia family. Now I am too. Officials, you can't treat me like this!"

"Official status?" Jia Jing couldn't help but sneered, "I think you will be gone soon!"

As soon as the words fell, Lai Fu came to report, "Master, Mr. Li from the household department is here!"

Then, he whispered to Jia Jing's ear, "The ivory Buddha statue of the Lai family was delivered to Langzhong Li."

"Really, Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"

Jia Jing raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Li, he came just in time! Go tell him to come in!"

……

After a while, Langzhong Li passed through the crowd of servants and came straight to Jia Jing.

"Lord Wanwang, forgive me!"

Li Langzhong was full of remorse, "The steward Lai found the lower official here and said that he was the steward of the mansions on both sides. The lower official thought, Lord Hou is working hard for the country and the people, so naturally he can't let the family be troubled by small things. I agreed to help, but who would have caused such a big mess for Lord Hou!"

As he said that, Li Langzhong's heart skipped a beat, and regardless of the fact that there were still so many servants of the Jia family watching in the courtyard, he knelt down with a "puff", and confessed his mistake loudly: "Before, the lower officials pretended to be smart, so please ask me Lord punish!"

Jia Jing stretched out her hand to help him up, and said with a smile: "You only helped because of my face, which means that your heart is on my side, so how can I blame you?"

When Li Langzhong got up, Jia Jing explained again: "It's just such things, we still need to understand clearly before doing it in the future!"

"Your Majesty would like to follow Lord Hou's instruction!"

Li Langzhong immediately bowed again.

Seeing the officials from the household department that their family sought were kowtowing and bowing like this, the three members of the Lai family on the flagpole felt cold in their hearts and pale ashes on their faces.

Especially Lai Shangrong, seeing Li Langzhong's appearance at this moment, and thinking of Jia Jing's words just now, his right eyelid just jumped up non-stop.

A heart was immediately raised in the throat!
at this time.

On the steps below.

Li Langzhong took out two more deeds from his sleeve, presented them to Jia Jing with both hands, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, among the two deeds, the one above is the document that exempted Lai Shangrong from slavery in your mansion. , Xiaguan brought it back today; the one below is the identity deed recently made up by Lai Shangrong in the household department..."

Since Li Langzhong sent the document exempting Lai Shangrong from slavery back then, Jia Jing only needed to tear up the document, and with the replacement deed in hand, Lai Shangrong was changed back to Jia's again in minutes. domestic servant.

The Lai family planned and requested for an unknown amount of time, and they returned to the past!

Li Langzhong continued: "In addition, the official wanted to tell Lord Hou something new. Just a few days ago, there was also a man named Lai Shangrong who donated money to a county magistrate. When there is a vacancy for an alternate official, it is also a rare thing to die suddenly from a sudden illness..."

Good guy!
This is because even Lai Shangrong's official body has been donated by a document, which has been completely erased!

Jia Jing was quite satisfied with the sincerity shown by Langzhong Li, and immediately nodded with a smile, "So, thank you Langzhong Li for your hard work today!"

Hearing this, Li Langzhong waved his hands again and again, "I can't be thanked by Lord Hou!"

Then he said farewell with great insight: "Master Hou, if there is something to do in the lower official yamen, I will leave first!"

Jia Jing nodded, "Business matters!"

He also ordered Lai Fu, who was on the side, to say, "Go and send Li Langzhong off!"

……

After Li Langzhong left, Jia Jing turned his attention to the Lai family members again.

Looking at the two deeds in Jia Jing's hands, Nanny Lai begged, "Please forgive me, Lord Hou! Our family will never dare again! We will do things faithfully in the future, please give them another chance!"

"Being unfaithful once, never using it for a lifetime!!"

Jia Jing snorted coldly, "If I knew today, why bother?"

Before the words fell, another exclamation came from the side.

But Jia Zhen and Jia Lian were in the box, and they made a new discovery!

It was a thick stack of borrowed notes.

This Lai's family is still keeping loan sharks outside!
In an instant, a burst of cold sweat rolled down the backs of Jia Zhen and Jia Lian.

Seeing the thick stack of borrowed notes in front of him, Jia Lian patted his chest, his face full of joy, "Fortunately, the third younger brother Jing copied the Lai family's house today, otherwise something will happen one day in the future, and it will definitely implicate us. On the owner's body!"

"Why not!" Jia Zhen also had the same happy expression.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

……

on the steps.

Jia Jing took a step forward.

First he glanced at the people of the Lai family, and then he looked at the many servants in the yard, his face was full of sternness, "How the Jia family treats you, and how the master of the Jia family treats you, you should know in your heart. !
I won't say anything else today, the only thing is, if anyone thinks about being a demon in the future and making himself uncomfortable, he should weigh it first, he and his family can bear the anger of this Marquis! "

As he said that, with Jia Jing's thoughts moving, the three guards pulled out the horsewhips hanging from their waists, dipped in the thick salt water brought up from the side, and slapped the three of Lai's family fiercely.

Immediately, the hoarse screams, mixed with the "slap" sound of the horsewhip on the flesh and blood, resounded in the sky above the courtyard of the Hou Mansion!
The blood splattered everywhere, and the servants in the yard felt tense when they saw it, and they all thought to themselves, did they make any mistakes.

Seeing that under the whip dipped in salt water, the aura of the three members of the Lai family gradually weakened, Jia Jing ordered again: "Don't beat people to death in this yard, it seems unlucky! While you still have breath, find a place to put the They dragged them out, as for life or death, it depends on their fate!"

Laifu agreed on one side.

Then, Jia Jing said to Jia Zhen and Jia Lian: "Like the slaves of the Lai family who betrayed the master, I don't think there is any need to ask for it anymore. It happens that there is still a shortage of manpower on the west mountain side, so I sent all the men from the Lai family away." Let's go! As for the daughters, look at the children in the house, whoever is unmarried, let's divide them up!"

Jia Zhen and Jia Lian couldn't stop nodding when they heard the words, "This is the best!"

Glancing at the three of them again, Jia Jing said, "If these three are lucky enough to survive, they should also be sent to Xishan to dig coal!"

Hearing this, both Jia Zhen and Jia Lian nodded fiercely, "It's as it should be, we must not let them die too comfortably!"
