Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 225 The Jia family is so courageous
Jia Amnesty was stared at by Jia's mother.

Naturally, he was unwilling, and also resented his mother's eccentricity and the greed of the second child's family. Although he pretended to be so upright, his true colors were revealed in a while.

Seeing that Wang Xifeng hadn't come yet, Jia She knew it in his heart, and he sneered in his heart, the money was emptied by the second child's family, but he had sent someone to keep an eye on it, if he didn't give an explanation today, he would have to make a fuss The whole world was turned upside down, and it looked as if he would not give up until he pulled the second child off the horse.

Zhang Jinyu ignored it, just sat on a chair, changed to a comfortable position, and waited. People in this era hide money and don't ask, they just keep it in their own house or yard, dig holes in the interlayer, etc., it's all old. Stealing or not depends on whether there is money, and it is clear at a glance.

And Ning Bian followed Xiuju to Yingchun's courtyard, a side room.

embroidered orange said;
"The Commander is Si Qi's sister's room. Wang's house has a separate courtyard outside."

Hearing this, Ning Bian waved his hand, and immediately several guards walked in and tumbling, while Ning Bian asked;

"Go, go to where the family lives."

"Yes, Commander."

Xiuju left the courtyard, turned left and right, and stopped at an ordinary courtyard.

"Here we are, Commander."

Ning Bian saw that the concierge was concealed, and someone was washing clothes inside, so he kicked open the door without any nonsense, and the woman in the courtyard shook her hands in fright, dropped her clothes, and shouted at the top of her voice;
"Damn it, who is so short-sighted, it's embarrassing my old lady."

Ning Bian didn't talk nonsense, he came to the old woman and slapped her, the nanny wailed until the end, Wang Zhu in the house heard his mother's screams, ran out with a kitchen knife, and shouted;
"Whoever bullies my mother, I will fight with you,"

As he spoke, he was about to slash over with a knife, but the guard who came in didn't pull out the knife, so he swung the scabbard directly, knocking off Wang Zhu's kitchen knife, and then directly slashed at Wang Zhu's abdomen with the back of the knife, only to hear a muffled sound. Hmph, Wang Zhu fell to the ground on his back, unable to get up from the pain for a while.

When the nurse saw it, the wailing became louder;

"Whether there is any king's law, they are all on the door."

Ning Bian didn't even look at the two people on the ground, and said directly;

"Go in and search, take out all the valuables and wrap them up."

"Yes, General."

Behind him, the wolf-like guards rushed into the house, smashing things when they saw them, tearing down cabinets when they saw them, and throwing away clothes when they saw them. It was like bandits crossing the border.

There are not many furnishings in the house, they are all necessary living furniture for ordinary people, but they are much better than ordinary people's households. There are tables, chairs and benches.

But the effect is obviously very good. There are gold and silver jewelry wrapped in quilts hidden in the interlayer of the wall, and so on. There is a large bag, at least a few thousand silver.

Seeing the found finances, Ning Bian was also very surprised. A servant was so rich. Seeing such exquisite gold and silver jewelry, he knew it was the stolen property, so he ordered;
"Come here, put away your things and take them back, and these two people will also press them over."

"It's the general."

A few people came behind and escorted the two of them, who knew that Wang's family didn't cooperate, and they continued to abuse and beat each other.

Being slapped a few times by the guards made him more honest, and Yongbyon also scolded;
"Bitch."

Seeing that the guard took a brocade cloth and directly wrapped the things up, he said;
"Walk,"

Time is not very fast, when I came back, I passed by Yingchun's small courtyard, saw the two guards who were searching here again, and saw that their hands were empty, Ning Bian also knew the inside story, and motioned for the two to follow before returning to the courtyard hospital.

Seeing Lord Hou drinking tea there, he went over and said;
"Report to Lord Hou, people brought it, and the house was searched, and everything is here."

After finishing speaking, the soldiers behind him directly escorted Wang Zhu's mother and son to kneel on the ground, and then a soldier threw the package of money that he had collected on the ground, with a very dull thud, and the slam was quite heavy.

Zhang Jinyu pretended to be frightened and asked exaggeratedly;

"Hey, General Ning, you don't want to rob Jia's mansion, do you? I asked you to search the property in the courtyard. How much do you have? Although Ben Hou didn't open it to see, the weight is at least a few thousand taels of silver by visual inspection. .so many!"

Zhang Jinyu's shout attracted everyone in the courtyard. All members of the Jia family looked up to see how much they had. The head of the Jia family was also curious about how much silver a servant could have.

"Back to Lord Hou, the subordinates found it from the room in the two-person courtyard. There are both in the mezzanine and in the cabinet. I dare not hide it."

Ning Bian also somewhat understood Hou Ye's intentions, and cooperated to tell the whole story.

"Ah, it turned out to be so. Come here, open it, and show it to the Jia family and clansmen to see how much property a slave in Rongguo Mansion really has."

Zhang Jinyu also stood up and yelled. The members of the Jia family who came to collect the money were scrambling to look forward, wondering how much money a servant had privately hidden.

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Ning Bian followed the package and walked to the side of the package, unwrapped the package, picked it up and poured it down, it was scattered all over the place, silver, gold leaf, jade hairpin jewelry, and many silver tickets and necklaces, all scattered all over the place, look Everyone around is jealous.

Zhang Jinyu didn't expect that there were so many, and there were so many servants. The Rongguo Mansion was really arrogant, and even Eunuch Yang and Shen Zhongxin were shocked. It's also a little jealous, these nobles don't give filial piety to the miscellaneous family, they are all crying for poverty.

Jia Mu and the others were also frightened, so many.

Jia Amnesty's eyes were red and his gums were almost gnawed. He would do anything for a few thousand taels of silver, and a servant could easily get so much. Simply, simply.

Zhang Jinyu walked over and squatted on the ground, rummaged through her hands, and said while searching;

"Everyone, take a look. There are four silver ingots for 50 taels, thirty for ten taels, and then a dozen silver bills for hundreds of taels. There are also as many as a thousand taels of gold leaves for these jewelry. Take a look. The people of your Jia family are not even as good as servants, really. Hey."

After Zhang Jinyu finished speaking, she still didn't forget to use words to stimulate the Jia family's eccentric brother. The young people below were all red-eyed, and suddenly someone shouted;

"Thank you, Master Hou, for making the decision for me. If it wasn't for Master Hou, I wouldn't know how long I would have been deceived by the Ning Rong Second House."

"Thank you Marquis,"

"These people are not sons of man."

Seeing the excitement of the crowd around him, Zhang Jinyu felt very comfortable, like drinking a cold drink in winter, refreshing to the bottom of his heart.

"This Marquis can't bear it either. I really didn't expect Rongguo Mansion to be so arrogant. Although some of them were stolen, for example, this, girl, do you think this jade hairpin belongs to your lady?"

Si Qi was too shocked to speak, the lady didn't even have a half of the money from Wang's house, when she saw Master Hou asking about it, she hurried over to have a look, it was the lady's.

repeatedly nodded;
"Go back to Lord Hou, it belongs to my lady."

"Oh, I see."

Zhang Jinyu came to the woman and asked;

"Come on, let me tell you who this jade hairpin belongs to. Remember to think it over before you talk about it! Benhou reminded me."

The woman had a look of fear on her face, and she was about to answer, when suddenly the nurse beside her shouted;
"Oh, old matriarch, these bandits rummaged around when they entered the house, and even put this jade hairpin in Laoshen's house to plant and frame it. You see, Laoshen beat me up. The old matriarch is in charge of me."

Hearing the old woman shouting there, the guard behind him wanted to fight, but was stopped by Zhang Jinyu.

"Tsk tsk, when Ben Hou asks questions again, he hates being interrupted by others the most. As for the planting you said, it's just the money. Look over there. Even the 20 taels of silver doesn't make sense to Ben Hou. You're still coveting this small amount of money, come on. people."

Ning Bian came to the back of Zhang Jinyu and replied;

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Knife."

Ning Bian drew out the long knife and put it in Zhang Jinyu's hand.

Holding the knife, Zhang Jinyu asked;
"To tell the truth, who got it, remember that there is only one chance, and this Marquis never lies."

Although the old woman was frightened, but in Jia's mansion, the nurse was still not afraid, so she said;

"It's you, it's you who planted the frame."

Zhang Jinyu smiled,

Then, poke with one hand.

In an instant, a knife pierced Wang Zhu's thigh, and then he pulled out the knife violently, and blood spurted out immediately.

Then there was a scream!
"Ah, ah, it hurts like hell."

Wang Zhu covered his thighs on the ground in pain and howled crazily. It was so miserable that other people in the courtyard took a step back unconsciously. Siqi also looked pale, but the little girl Qingwen still looked on stubbornly. shaking.

The hostess in the pavilion also couldn't help but look cold, Sanchun was so frightened that his face turned pale, and Jia's mother couldn't believe it. She dared to use lynching in public, and it was so ruthless.

"Luo Yunhou, are you going too far?"

Mother Jia had no choice but to speak up, she couldn't let a servant die in Rongguo Mansion during the New Year's Eve, not to mention bad luck, I'm afraid there will be some opinions in the inner palace.

"Old Majesty, this Marquis is helping you, a slave who stole the property of the master's family, and even bullied his master. Do you still want to protect this kind of servant?"

Jia Amnesty watched from the side, his eyes were red with anger, and he couldn't help but said;
"Luo Yunhou is right. It would be better to kill all these damned servants. They are so ungrateful. If it were me, I would never hold back."

"It's still General Jia who understands righteousness. Jia's family should be tidied up. This Marquis thinks that General Jia's housekeeper will never do this. Otherwise, there are so many slaves who are riding on the head of the master's head. This Marquis It's really unheard of."

At this moment,
Zhang Jinyu couldn't understand that Jia She could help her to speak, and suddenly knew that Yingchun was his daughter, and it was Jia She who stole her money, so it was.

Seeing this, Jia Mu also sat down and said:
"Forget it, let's continue the interrogation, just don't use the knife again, it's not good to see blood."

"Old Madam, I will try my best."

After speaking, Zhang Jinyu turned around again, looked at the mother and daughter on the ground and asked;

"Say, who does this hosta belong to? You still have another chance. This Marquis is not lying."

The nanny saw Hou Ye smiling, and that smile was as scary as it could be, and responded tremblingly;

"It belongs to the young lady, and it was stolen by the old slave."

After the nanny finished speaking, the surrounding clansmen were all yelling,

Zhang Jinyu asked again;

"Where did the money come from?"

"It was the old slave who stole the lady's gold and silver jewelry and sold it, and the lady's monthly record is also at the old slave's place. I also sold the items that the master rewarded the lady. There is a zodiac sign made of gold with a dragon pattern. It was sold for 2000 taels of silver."

"Huh? What metal sign can be sold for 2000 taels of silver?"

Zhang Jinyu also asked in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed his face, stood up anxiously and shouted;
"Bold, you dare to steal something that was rewarded by the royal family and resell it. Your Jia family has eaten the guts of a bear."
