Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 207
Although what Jiamu said was not clear, it was also because Jiamu misunderstood that she might not have much time, so she meant to ask Gu.

But inside and outside the words, it was very clear that the Rongguo Mansion would be handed over to Jia Lian, and the Ningguo Mansion would only obey his orders.

And surprisingly, Jia Baoyu was not mentioned.

It's not that Jia's mother doesn't feel sorry for him, but that Jia's mother, who almost came back to life, should be very clear-headed, knowing that mentioning Jia Baoyu again and again will probably hurt him instead.

As long as Jia Baoyu is not instigated, his character will definitely not fight or grab before he gets married and has children.

Moreover, he was only 13 years old, not yet an adult, and Jia Zheng was still alive, so he didn't even have the qualifications to compete.

When Jia Rong and Jia Lian came to power in Ningrong and Rongfu, it would be no problem for Jia Baoyu to be a wealthy idler.

It's just that Jia Baoyu found out that his treatment was much worse than before.

And after having a wife and children, will he still be the same as before, and be a rich son who doesn't care about anything?

Probably, maybe it was a monk from the world of mortals.
-
After a while with Jia's family, he explained to Daiyu that he was too busy today and could only help her with the county lord's mansion tomorrow, only the eunuchs in the palace rushed to the door.

Before Youshi and Youlaoniang had an accident, the palace and Yuanchun both sent eunuchs and imperial doctors over.

But after all, it was not Jia Zhen and the rest of the Jia family who had an accident, no matter how worried Yuan Chun was, he would not act too much.

Afterwards, the events of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion happened within one day.

After Yuanchun found out, Shi Zhongkui had already entered the palace to meet the emperor, and naturally passed by the eunuch Liu who was beside Yuanchun.

After that, it was evening and night to go to Rongguo Mansion to announce the decree. Not to mention the eunuch Liu beside Yuan Chun, even An De, who was beside the queen, could not leave the palace gate.

Today eunuch Liu came to the door again, and Shi Zhongkui went to Wenchang Emperor Temple early in the morning.

At this time, when Eunuch Liu saw Shi Zhongkui, his heart skipped a beat.

Before, he was so manipulated that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy.

Now it is rumored that Shi Zhongkui knows Taoism, and his cultivation is no worse than those few celestial masters.

In addition to repeatedly helping Jia's family, not to mention revenge, Eunuch Liu's legs trembled when he saw Shi Zhongkui looking at him.

Without even thinking about it, he bowed deeply to Shi Zhongkui first.

But what came out of his mouth, it seemed that although he didn't dare to offend Shi Zhongkui, he definitely hated him to the point of itch in his heart.

"My servant has met Liuyuan Gong, and the concubine Yuan in the palace has repeatedly reminded my servant that after seeing Liuyuan Palace, I will kowtow to you on my behalf."

Shi Zhongkui smiled, seeing Eunuch Liu's appearance just now, he thought this guy would not be a monster.

But as soon as these words came out, Shi Zhongkui understood that the eunuch's mind was very vicious.

He didn't even have the slightest awe of his own master Yuan Chun.

When Eunuch Liu cupped his hands and wanted to kneel down, Shi Zhongkui grabbed the tea bowl on the tea table and threw it out.

Seeing Eunuch Liu who was hit by a tea bowl and flew two meters backwards, vomiting blood, all the people present in the Jia family looked at Shi Zhongkui in amazement.

He sneered and said, "Even if the empress is really grateful to my brother-in-law, there is no reason to say such a thing as kowtowing to my brother-in-law.

Eunuch Liu, are you trying to trap this official in injustice and disrespect?
Or is it to provoke the relationship between the empress and relatives, or even the relationship between the courtiers, the royal family, and your majesty? "

Eunuch Liu was so frightened that his whole body turned cold and he was sweating profusely.

This is a serious crime of beheading.

Out of breath and fear, he vomited a mouthful of blood and passed out directly.

Seeing that his thoughts were so vicious, Shi Zhongkui didn't intend to let him go.

Although it was not enough to kill him blatantly, the blow from the tea bowl just now was enough to depose the eunuch.

Jia Zheng and the others quickly realized that even if Yuan Chun really said such words out of gratitude and excitement, Eunuch Liu couldn't really repeat them that way.

Mrs. Wang, who had a gloomy expression just now, instantly transferred her hatred to Eunuch Liu.

Apart from the culpability Shi Zhongkui mentioned, if Eunuch Liu was unintentional, it would appear that Yuan Chun has no brains.

Mrs. Wang doesn't think her daughter is an idiot, so she naturally thinks that Eunuch Liu is playing tricks.

Or, she simply wanted to harm Yuan Chun.

Mrs. Wang, who wanted to understand these things, became so angry that her face became grim.

It can be said that the meaning of her life at this time is Jia Baoyu and Yuanchun.

And she wanted to maintain her position in Jia's family, Wang Ziteng was unreliable, so she could only rely on Yuan Chun.

Even after so many things happened one after another, Jia Baoyu's status depends on Yuan Chun.

I heard Shi Zhongkui say to Jia Lian and Jia Rong, "Drag out, carry him outside the palace gate in a sedan chair, and tell Xia Shouzhong what he just said in detail."

Let's just say that the official, the Jia family, and the empresses in the palace are loyal to His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can be seen.

And when Eunuch Liu said a word of gratitude to his mother at this time, he must have framed this official in an unrighteous and disrespectful situation.

This kind of person is either harboring evil intentions, or provoking the relationship between the ministers and Jia's family and His Majesty', Mrs. Wang felt very happy in her heart.

Then Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu and others couldn't help feeling relieved.

With Shi Zhongkui's words just now, even if the emperor doesn't believe in Yuan Chun and the Jia family, he has to believe in Shi Zhongkui.

As long as the emperor believes in it, then Yuanchun will be fine.

An hour later, when Xia Shouzhong rushed to the door, he brought a lot of rewards to appease the Jia family, just as Shi Zhongkui expected.

He also said that Eunuch Liu had a problem.

As for what the problem was, Xia Shouzhong didn't dare to say.

Shi Zhongkui didn't know how to ask, and looking at Xia Shouzhong and Dai Quan, he knew that none of these great eunuchs could stand up to the job.

As for what the problem is, there are only a few.

Really brainless and greedy.

Or because he was greatly favored by others to serve as an undercover agent, or he was limped because of being fooled.

Even if he just harbored resentment towards himself, even if he was afraid of himself, he would subconsciously want to dig a hole in his mind.

However, when Xia Shouzhong was leaving, he said, "Concubine Zhen's health is not very good recently, it is better to stop wedding banquets, celebrations, gatherings of friends and so on."

It made Shi Zhongkui realize that eunuch Liu was most likely the person Taifei Zhen placed beside Yuan Chun.

And Yuan Chun has been taken care of by Concubine Zhen for more than ten years after entering the palace, so he naturally thinks that the eunuchs sent by Concubine Zhen will be towards him.

It's a pity that Yuan Chun was not favored by the emperor. Under the disappointment of this eunuch Liu, he behaved with his tail between his legs and at the same time was a little out of balance, which made him appear so brainless.

Also, Concubine Zhen used to be the biggest backer of the Jia family in the palace, but now the Jia family kept showing that they wanted to rely on Shi Zhongkui.

People like Eunuch Liu would of course have resentment towards Shi Zhongkui in their hearts.

Before Xia Shouzhong went out, he whispered to Shi Zhongkui, "Duke Liu Yuan, didn't you bring your disciples to study at home? If we were in your family, we would really teach a few scholars."

Although Shi Zhongkui was smiling, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

No matter how it sounds, it seems that there is something in the words.

After thinking about it carefully, I can't think of any problem.

However, Xia Shouzhong asked himself to stay at home honestly, and to settle down for a while, which is very clear.
-
Now that Mother Jia is fine, the rest of course is to deal with Nanny Lai who was mad at Lai Er.

After Shuntian Mansion received the news, not only the official messengers and Wu Zuo came to the door, but even the prefect Liu Zhongkun and Tui Guan came together.

Seeing that Shi Zhongkui was also among the crowd welcoming him, Liu Zhongkun got off the sedan chair, cupped his hands and said, "I have Mr. Lao Zheng, Mr. She and Boqian to welcome you."

Although Jia Zheng has been an official for many years, he has always been prudish.

Everyone greeted Liu Zhongkun with a smile on his face, but he kept a straight face and saluted politely.

It made Liu Zhongkun secretly scold him for being stupid.

Jia Amnesty is not much better for this kind of idiot in the nest.

However, it may also be because of the matter of the former prince that he was frightened by the civil servants.

Only then did he appear a bit cautious, not at all the aura of a first-rank Shenwei general in the Rongguo Mansion.

On the contrary, Jia Zhen and Jia Lian are much better than Jia She and Jia Zheng in receiving people and treating things.

It's a pity that the two of them, as nephews and nephews, are not qualified to stand up and receive Liu Zhongkun.

Shi Zhongkui sighed inwardly, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "The student has seen the En Mansion. The old lady of the Jia Mansion is ill today. The student has a little knowledge of the art of Qi and Huang, and in order to promote filial piety, come here to see if there is anything I can do to help.

But I didn't expect to encounter such unfilial things as parents and children angering the old mother to death. While feeling a little angry in my heart, I also lamented that there is still room for improvement in my dynasty's education. "

Liu Zhongkun and the pusher Xia Shixiang secretly thought that Shi Zhongkui was really good.

One stated that he had nothing to do with Lai Nanny's death, the other directly defined Lai Nanny as being mad at his own son, and the third mentioned enlightenment to divert conflicts and the attention of the ruling and opposition parties.

After all, compared to enlightenment, the death of an old lady who was a servant was nothing at all.

Fourth, if the Shuntian Mansion finds fault, then Shi Zhongkui will be unfavorable when he joins the Shuntian Mansion, not to mention Liu Zhongkun, all the officials in the Shuntian Mansion will be unlucky.

Liu Zhongkun thought for a while, and hurriedly pushed the matter to push officer Xia Shixiang.

Besides, the judge is in charge of criminal names.

Xia Shixiang cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to take over the errand, followed Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and took the official errands and assistants to find out the cause of Nanny Lai's death.

As for Shi Zhongkui and others, of course they went to Rongxi Hall to sit down.

Drinking tea, chatting, waiting for the results to come out.

When the sky darkened and Jia's house was filled with lanterns again, Xia Shixiang brought people over.

"Fu Zun, Mr. Shi, Mr. Zheng, Mr. She Rong, and the next official took his assistants and officials to check carefully, and confirmed that the old lady of the Lai family really died of extreme rage, and there was no trauma on her body, and there was no sign of poisoning.

Now it is only necessary to interrogate Na Lai Er to close the case. "

Jia Zheng and Jia She hurriedly looked at Shi Zhongkui, Shi Zhongkui nodded and waved to Jia Rong.

Jia Rong hurriedly took people to bring Lai Er, who was locked in the firewood room, here tied up.

When he saw Jia Zheng and others, as well as Shi Zhongkui and all the officials and servants of Shuntian Mansion, Lai Er's face turned pale instantly.

At this time, Lai Er's face was covered with ashes.

However, he probably didn't want to be charged with unfilial piety after death, and had to make a final struggle.

Lai Er said what happened, while repeating again and again, he didn't know that Nanny Lai almost fainted before.

Xia Shixiang looked at Liu Zhongkun and Shi Zhongkui after listening, and saw them nodding.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "You mean, in order to ask the old lady of Jia's mansion to save your elder brother and nephew Lai Shangrong, you told your mother that you wanted to give up the family wealth accumulated over the years and manage it from top to bottom.

Wait until someone is rescued, and then beg the Jia family to be kind and let your family go back to Jinling? "

Lai Er nodded hurriedly, "I didn't expect that my mother would be so angry because the villain wanted to give up the family wealth, and leave me to wait for my children and grandchildren.

If he knew, the villain would never say this anyway. "

Shi Zhongkui smiled, and Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and others had ugly expressions.

The so-called family wealth is definitely not the gold, silver and fields that the Lai family currently has, but the newly built garden of the Lai family.

Thinking deeper, Lai Er is threatening the Jia family to save themselves.

Moreover, he also said that Nanny Lai almost fainted when she was at Jia's house.

If Xia Shixiang, the pushing officer, didn't ask Nanny Lai why she fainted, then the subsequent interrogation would have to favor Lai Er.

And Xia Shixiang never dared to stand in front of so many people, and even when the master was taking notes, he leaned overwhelmingly towards the Jia family.

When it comes to my official status and future, let alone the Jia family, even if the prince is here, let me die.

Sure enough, when it comes to why Nanny Lai fainted, I have to mention the fact that Lai Shangrong was taken away by the embroidery guards.

All of a sudden, the embroidered clothes guard was involved.

Xia Shixiang and Liu Zhongkun's expressions changed, and they hurriedly looked at Shi Zhongkui.

Shi Zhongkui smiled slightly, "Since there is a case in the case, I'll invite the Embroidered Yiwei over there."

Jia Zheng, Jia She and the others suddenly changed their expressions.

Shi Zhongkui looked at Lai Er and said with a smile, "Lai Er, what you rely on is nothing more than the newly built house by your family. Was it built by your family or Jia's family, right?"

When Lai Er saw that he directly broke the matter, his face immediately changed drastically.

Shi Zhongkui snorted coldly, looked at Jia Zheng and Jia She and said, "Father-in-law, second uncle, there is something wrong in your house, and the ladies in the palace must not go home during the Lantern Festival to visit relatives.

That being the case, there is nothing to worry about.

And in the eyes of the son-in-law, the left and right are nothing more than domestic slaves encroaching on the master's property by taking advantage of the opportunity to build another courtyard for the mother, relying on the trust of the master.

It is also determined that for the sake of my mother's family visit, the noble mansion dare not make a statement, which is why it is so confident. "

After finishing speaking, Shi Zhongkui looked at Lai Er and said, "Unfortunately, what you didn't expect is that your mother died in Jia's house because of your anger. How can you go home to visit your relatives at this time when your mother is so noble."

Lai Er's face changed drastically in an instant.

Shi Zhongkui didn't wait for him to repeat, looked at Liu Zhongkun and Xia Shixiang and said, "Lord Liu, Lord Xia, this Lai Er said it himself just now, and his mother died after hearing what he said.

Regardless of whether it was Nanny Lai who was already sick, or a sudden and serious illness, or even Nanny Lai who was already exhausted and died soon.

But before Lai Er didn't say those things to Nanny Lai, the old lady was still alive.

In other words, Lai Er's crime of unfilial piety cannot be escaped. "

Liu Zhongkun and Xia Shixiang looked at each other, this was absolutely true.

"Wrong, wrong."

Lai Er, who was tied up, immediately struggled on the ground.

Shi Zhongkui knew that he should tell the Jia family other secrets to threaten the Jia family.

He smiled and said, "Lord Liu, Lord Xia, this person is the son of the Jia family for generations. He doesn't want to repay the kindness of the master, but is greedy for the master's money. It is wrong for the officials to say that he is unfaithful and unjust."

Liu Zhongkun and Xia Shixiang didn't have the slightest intention to refute this. While nodding, the officials and small officials of Shuntian Mansion present also nodded in agreement.
