The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 72
Wuhou Mansion, in the main hall.

Jia Jing looked at Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng in front of her with a stern expression.

"Only based on the old nun's one-sided words, 3000 taels of silver, my sister-in-law dared to take the lawsuit, and even used the name of Lian's second brother to send a letter to a governor of a government, and asked him to help suppress a family of officials. Sister-in-law is Is he afraid that Lian's second brother's colleague is too stable? Or is he afraid that the censor can't find a reason to impeach him?

Then there is the usury, which is really too harmful, not to mention that it is strictly prohibited by the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.A few years ago, in Shenjing, many people who took advantage of the disaster to make money in the country were ransacked and exterminated. Why is my sister-in-law so upset?Do you have to touch that thing? "

The matter of Wang Xifeng's loan sharks was exactly written in the book of Red Chamber in the previous life, so after Jia Jing accepted Li Hu's contribution in autumn, he ordered him to roughly check it according to what he read in the book back then.

Since ancient times, gambling stalls and loan sharks have more or less been involved. Now that Jia Jing asked Li Hu to investigate these, it is naturally more effective.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Hu to hand in a detailed account book.

It's just that Jia Jing received Lin Ruhai's urgent request for help not long after, and went to the border again, so she put the matter down first, and dragged it to Xiaonian.

Now it happened again that the former Changan guarded the Pang family...

As for the reasons written in the book that led to the decline of the Jia family, there are naturally many reasons, but Wang Xifeng's litigation and loan sharks are definitely a large part of it.

Now that the two meet together, come on, do two things at the same time, and deal with them together!

……

In the main hall, because of Jia Jing's words, fell into silence...

"Master Hou, Shuan Zhu is back!"

Outside the hall, a tall and honest figure opened the curtain and came in, holding a black cloth package in his left hand, from which a bloody smell was vaguely coming out.

"Just come back!" Jia Jing nodded.

Looking at the package in Shuan Zhu's hand, Jia Lian couldn't help asking curiously, "What's in here?"

Wang Xifeng next to him also looked over.

Seeing this, Shuan Zhu just grinned, and then opened the package in his hand, revealing a dripping, bloody bald head inside.

Then just hold it in front of Jia Lian and send it off.

"oops!"

Then Jia Lian suddenly exclaimed.

Although Jia Lian had also traveled extensively in recent years, they were all honed by boats and cars, and they all walked the peaceful road, surrounded by servants, who had never seen swordsmen.

Now that Shuan Zhu sent a bloody head under his nose, Jia Lian was so frightened that he jumped up.

Wang Xifeng next to her was pale, and she was quite frightened.

She has lived in a tall mansion for a long time, and she is also a female stream. How has she ever seen such a terrifying thing?
Dang even turned his face away, waved his hand and said, "Take this thing away quickly! Take it away quickly!"

"Sister-in-law, don't you see who this is?"

Hearing Jia Jing's words, Wang Xifeng took courage and glanced at it...

Then I took a closer look.

"This... Isn't this the Jingxu thief nun from the Mantou Temple?!" Wang Xifeng exclaimed.

"Yes, that's her," Jia Jing nodded.A chill flashed in his eyes, "Since this thief dares to set his mind on our family! Then we must make preparations to see the Buddha in advance!"

The words full of killing intent, coupled with the pungent bloody smell, made Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and his wife feel a sudden shock.

That Jingxu just built a bridge, and as a middleman made a few words, but was killed directly.

Aren't all the people who came out of this army so murderous?

Jia Lian even thought that if Wang Xifeng was not Jia Jing's sister-in-law, the result would not be much better, right?

Especially Wang Xifeng, at this time, suddenly remembered the four servants who were killed by Jia Zhen next door. It seems that they were also the people that Jia Jing called at that time, right?
Suddenly, I felt that the room was a little colder.

……

Jia Jing pondered for a while, after all, he is an elder brother in this life, and he has already asked himself so much, so naturally it is not easy to do too much.

"Forget it, let's deal with it in private this time!" Jia Jing sighed and asked, "Then tell me, how do you plan to make up for it?"

Hearing Jia Jing's inquiry, Jia Lian hurriedly replied: "In the past two days, I have been concentrating on dealing with the money lent by my family and converting it into ordinary debt. It must be compensated!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Jing nodded slightly.

Jia Lian continued: "As for the matter of taking up the lawsuit..."

"Let's just stop doing power-gathering things in the future!" Wang Xifeng quickly promised, "Even the usury, I won't touch it anymore! After I go back, I will go to the Buddhist hall to confess to the Bodhisattva by myself!"

Wang Xifeng also understood that although the money is good, it is not as good as Jia Lian and her own family!

At this time, Wang Xifeng was the first time to accept bribes and take up lawsuits, but the sufferer came to his door and broke out the big basket for usury. It was time to be careful to accompany the wrong.

Especially in front of the old nun's bloody head just now, Wang Xifeng's heart is still beating non-stop.

Where dare to stab? !

After all, the current Wang Xifeng has not become the greedy and ruthless person in the book who became more courageous after she got the eulogy, and became accustomed to it. She still believes in the retribution of the underworld to some extent!
Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Jing nodded, "Alright, my sister-in-law will go to the Buddhist hall to listen to the Buddhist scriptures for the first ten days, and it would be good to cultivate her!"

Seeing that both of them looked sincerely repentant now, Jia Jing ordered Wang Xifeng to be confinement in the Buddhist hall for ten days, and then let them go back.

After all, it all depends on their future performance!
Of course, secretly ordering people to observe is also a proper meaning.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Chang Shui came to bid farewell to Jia Jing, saying that he would return to Chang'an County as soon as possible.

Seeing that Changshui's loyalty is the main thing, Jia Jing naturally praised him, and hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare some dry food and water for Changshui and Laifu to eat on the way.

…………

Saibei, the capital of Liaodong.

The stern north wind howled, and heavy snow like goose feathers fell from the sky.

Looking around, the entire Northland is filled with blinding whiteness.

General Military Mansion, Martial Arts Hall.

Amidst a series of "creak, creak" sounds, several figures in armor and bearskin cloaks stepped on the ankle-deep snow, opened the door curtain and entered the martial arts hall.

Sitting on the grand teacher's chair at the top of the Martial Arts Hall was Yuan Wenchu, General Soldier of Eastern Liaodong, and the ones who came in were naturally the generals of the Zhenbei Army.

As soon as Niu Junshan, who was the strongest and most burly, entered the door, he rubbed the frozen muscles on his face and asked loudly, "General, is there any news from Shenjing? What should Yan Wei do with it? "

Hearing Niu Junshan's question, Yuan Wenchu ​​felt that the veins on his forehead were about to pop out.

"The messenger has only been away for three days, and you have already asked me four or five times. There is such a thick snow outside. If you are told to run, you may run to Shenjing?!"

Seeing Yuan Wenchu ​​lose his temper, Niu Junshan didn't dare to ask any more questions. He shook his head and obediently went to his seat and sat down.

"This snowfall happens every year, but it has never been like this year!" Another general said: "Now the snow outside the city is as thick as one person, and there is no way to send troops, but The imperial court did not come down with a decree, which made everyone feel very upset..."

"If we want to fight, the snow will have to melt! Besides, there is such a heavy snow now, no matter how big the military affairs are, they have to be temporarily put on hold!"

"..."

　This chapter has been changed and revised. It's already one o'clock in the morning, and I'm still not satisfied. Let's just read it... It's embarrassing.
