Chapter 234

But he said that Jia Rong got two hundred taels of silver yesterday, and went to Jinxiangyuan with Xue Pan and Jia Qiang in the afternoon. We stayed together all night and returned just before noon. The boy was resting in the room when suddenly a mother-in-law came to invite her: "I've invited you, I'd better go as soon as possible!"

Jia Rong didn't dare to neglect, yawned all day long, put on her clothes, and hurried towards the study. Entering the study, Jia Rong was suddenly shocked when she caught a glimpse of Li Weijian!

I secretly wondered how could Lai Naofumi be so helpless, so that everything happened in just one day? Then I thought about it, it was Lai Shangwen who stole the things, so what does it have to do with me? You can't think that you are the mastermind just because your slaves are biting randomly, right?

And that picture is only worth two hundred taels, how big of a deal can it be?

Thinking like this, although Jia Rong was worried, she felt a little calmer than before. He smiled and cupped his hands: "Father...oh, Fourth Uncle Jian is here too? My nephew has sent greetings to Fourth Uncle Jian."

Li Weijian had a dumb look on his face and was speechless. Jia Zhen shouted: "What a beast! You have done such stupid things, but now you are still like a normal person. Where is your family law?"

Jia Rong has been beaten by Jia Zhen since she was a child. When she heard this, her two bodies trembled and she fell to her knees with a thud: "Father, what is going on?"

Li Weijian, who was on the side, thought about it and said, "Brother Zhen, maybe Lai Shangwen can only tell you one-sided things. I have to ask Brother Rong clearly before talking."

Jia Zhen suppressed her anger and said, "Let me ask you, did you instruct Lai Shangwen to steal Brother Jian's pictures?"

"This...Father, that's not the case!" Jia Rong quickly called out to Tianqu and said, "Lai Shangwen had dirty hands and feet and stole his son's belongings. He happened to be caught in front of him. My son was thinking about this guy secretly. I don't know how much I stole, so I asked him to sign an IOU.

Unexpectedly, Lai Sheng turned around and begged his father to release Lai Shangwen from the house. My son has always been out of sight and out of mind, and he didn't want to bump into that guy again a few days ago. After a little prodding from the son, the boy said he would pay off the debt within a few days. Unexpectedly, yesterday I brought the picture and said it was scrap paper that Uncle Jian had discarded. "

"What about the waste paper?" Jia Zhen asked.

"What does the picture of the fire gun look like?" Jia Rong, who was on the ground, suddenly felt aggrieved and hurriedly said: "Then Ba Duoming didn't like the appearance of the picture of the fire gun. He said there was something missing in it and was only willing to pay twenty taels of silver, just like sending a beggar. How could my nephew care about a mere twenty taels? He tore up the picture before leaving..."

Li Weijian was happy to stand by and watch Jia Rong, a bitch like him, get beaten up. Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen held the stick high and covered her face with her head covered with a hood... She was obviously running to take Jia Rong's life. Once Jia Rong dies and there is no evidence, how can he plot against Ningguo Mansion?

Li Weijian hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but Jia Zhen said, "Brother Jian, get out of the way. I must kill you for your evildoing today."

Li Weijian was very frightened. Ba Duoming was really stingy. He knew clearly that the fire gun picture looked like a good thing, but he demoted it to worthless to lower the price. Fortunately, Jia Rong had a simple mind, otherwise this plan would have failed.

The two sticks were pulled over, and Jia Rong suddenly cried out.

Feeling ashamed, Jia Zhen couldn't keep it off her face. She stepped forward and kicked Jia Rong in the chest, snatched the stick held by the servant, swung it up and beat him.

His face was speechless, but Jia Zhen beside him was alert. Hearing this, he immediately cursed: "Idiot, you have been fooled by Na Xiyi!"

Jia Rong drooped his head and said, "It happened that Dong Guan was interested in that picture, so my son sold it for two hundred taels."

Li Weijian sighed and said to Jia Zhen: "Brother Zhen, now that things have come to this, please ask Brother Zhen to quickly recover Tu Zi. If you live outside the country, I'm afraid -"

............................................................

Seeing this, Brother Jian is getting anxious!

Jia She quickly pulled Jia Zhen over and asked, "What's going on?"

How could Li Weijian have the time to talk to the elder Jia She at the moment? Because he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Shi, please forgive me, I'm so confused right now, so I won't stay with you much longer. Brother Zhen, take your leave."

"Ah - my son is wrong, father, please spare me this time! Ah -"

Li Weijian said hurriedly: "Brother Zhen is not busy. Let's first ask clearly where the fire gun picture is located."

The door opened, and the missionary inside saw that the person who came was Badomin. He instinctively looked around, then nodded and let Badomin into the room.

Jia Zhen sighed, said something briefly, then hurriedly ordered people to prepare the car, and led the twenty or so servants straight to the outer city, saying that they would chase back the blazing gun figure.

Entering inside, he saw Jia Rong cowering on the ground. Li Weijian and Jia Zhen's faces were as dark as water. Jia She felt that she was full of face and immediately asked: "What's going on? We are all a family. If you have something to do, you might as well sit down and talk." .”

"Bastard!" Jia Zhen didn't know how serious the matter was at this moment, she just felt embarrassed. For a mere two hundred taels of silver, the legitimate son of the dignified Duke of Guo colluded with his slaves to plot against his relatives. If this was spread, how would outsiders view Ning Guo's mansion?

After that, he walked away, leaving the elder Jia She inexplicable. Ever since Yingchun and Brother Jian have been in love, although the marriage has never been settled, there has never been a time when Brother Jian greeted his eldest father with a smile and respect. Have you ever been so rude?

Jia Zhen was thinking secretly when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps, but it was Youshi who led Jia She to come quickly. But after hearing that Jia Rong was beaten, You knew that she couldn't persuade him anymore, so she hurriedly sent people to Xifu to invite the eldest master Jia She to make a complaint.

After entering, the guests and the host were seated, and the man said: "Brother Badomin, you are two days earlier than the agreed time."

Jia Rong blinked and then suddenly realized: "Baduomin, the bison fucked me, I'm not done with you!"

"I know." Badomin said in Latin: "The Dzungars lost their troops and generals. I think His Majesty the Tsar will not miss this opportunity."

"On the contrary," the man said, "Russia's eastward expansion has been blocked by the huge Dashun Empire. Now His Majesty the Tsar intends to redirect his attention to the west. You know, the long tundra zone, His Majesty the Tsar has no spare power to conquer. Too much attention is given to the East."

"What about the Dzungars?"

"His Majesty the Tsar thinks it is a good idea to support the Dzungars as a buffer between Russia and Dashun."

Badomin teased: "It's a pity that the Junggar people have never given up their dream of the Great Mongol."

The man smiled and said: "But the Junggar people want to unify the grassland, just like their ancestors did. So, in the short term, supporting the Junggar people is a good idea."

Badomin nodded and said: "Let's be honest, what I got this time is a good thing. I hope His Majesty the Tsar will keep his word."

The man said: "Of course. Although Russia is poor, His Majesty the Tsar is very rich. The Eastern Arrow you sent, His Majesty the Tsar intended to install in the army. Although the accuracy is very bad, it is obvious that it is farther than the artillery. And you, my brother, you have been well rewarded.”

Badominglue nodded slightly, then shook his head and said: "Not enough, I got the blueprints of a new musket this time, and also the blueprints of an interesting machine."

The man smiled and said: "Let's negotiate with His Majesty the Tsar in person. His Majesty has always been generous and reasonable." Badomin said: "Dashun's restrictions on religion are becoming more and more severe, which makes people feel suffocated. I hope that next winter we will Warm Marseille for the winter.”

The man smiled and said nothing. Ba Duoming drank the tea in front of him, then threw down two pieces of paper, then stood up and left.

His luck was a bit bad. He walked on the street for a quarter of an hour and didn't see a rickshaw. He had no choice but to hire a mule cart and return to his home.

Along the way, Bardot thought to himself that when he received the generous reward from the Tsar, he must buy a monastery, like a vineyard, and organize a group of choirs...

As the carriage approached the door of his house, Badomin opened the curtains and suddenly his eyes narrowed. From afar, he saw more than twenty people surrounding his house. He didn't recognize the Dashun official in the lead, but he could tell that he should be a military attache.

military attache? Has it been discovered?

When the conflict between Dashun and Russia broke out in the Heilongjiang River Basin, Badomin served as an interpreter. During the negotiations, he secretly disclosed information to the Russians and gained a lot of benefits. It was a pity that the Russian troops were too small. Dashun only sent out a small force to eradicate all the Russian Far East strongholds and pursued them all the way to the shores of Lake Baikal.

When the Russian baron was captured, Badomin was ready to run away, and in fact he did run to Macau. It was not until a year later that he heard that the captured Russian baron died of serious injuries before entering Shanhaiguan, and that Dashun did not offend the other missionaries afterwards and determined that the secret had not been leaked, did Badomin return to the capital.

As a spy with long-term experience, Badomin is extremely vigilant. He feels that this time the matter may be more serious than the last time. So he lowered the car curtain and said in blunt Mandarin: "I almost forgot one thing. Send me to the inner city... I'll give you fifty more coins."

The driver responded vaguely, waved his whip, and the mule cart passed by Jia Zhen and others, heading towards the inner city. At this time, Badomin had made up his mind to run, there was no need to risk his own life.

Rongguo Mansion.

The elder came forward to say that the item could not be successful, but when he came back, he told Mrs. Xing about the matter. Mrs.

Then he didn't give up and hurried to Rongqing Hall, shouting: "Old lady, something bad is going to happen!"

Mother Jia didn't want to see Mrs.

"The old lady doesn't know. Just now, Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law sent someone to ask the eldest man to speak out. She only said that Brother Zhen was afraid that he was going to beat Brother Rong to death. The eldest man didn't know what was going on and hurried to dissuade him. Only then did he realize that it was Brother Rong colluded with his servants to steal Brother Jian's pictures, which made Brother Jian come to ask for his crime..."

Mother Jia frowned and said, "Slow down, why are you talking about Brother Jian again?"

After Mrs. Xing talked a lot, the people in Rongqing Hall finally understood. At this moment, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng were all here. After hearing the reason clearly, I suddenly didn't know how to explain it.

Colliding with servants to steal other people's pictures, Brother Rong is really too despicable!

Li Wan and Li Weijian were cousins, and their elders were all here, so they were secretly upset but couldn't say anything.

Wang Xifeng is also in a dilemma. Her relationship with Brother Jian is naturally close. But Brother Rong is also a good junior, and he does his best to do whatever is asked of him on weekdays. Because it was difficult for Wang Xifeng to speak at the moment.

Mrs. Wang ignored the matter and ignored it. Mother Jia pondered for a long time before saying, "Brother Rong is really incompetent, how could he do such a thing?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, Brother Jian...are you making a fuss out of a molehill? It's just a picture. Since it's been drawn, you can just draw another one later. Why hurt the relationship between relatives?"

Mrs. I suffered a big loss."

Before Mrs. Wang could refute, Mother Jia said: "That's incredible! When the old prince was here, stealing bows and crossbows was a crime of beheading!"

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "The old lady is well-informed, please tell us the reason?"

Jia Mu said leisurely: "It happened decades ago. At that time, the old Duke was still the governor of the Beijing camp. A deputy general stole the weapons and sold them. Unexpectedly, the crossbow was used by the thieves of the White Lotus Sect to rebel. . The superiors conducted an investigation and immediately found the deputy general. The old prince repeatedly begged for mercy, and the Supreme Lord thought that he had meritorious service in the battle, so the family was not implicated, and the deputy general was only sentenced to be executed and imprisoned. "

Hearing this, all the ladies sighed. Wang Xifeng sighed: "The old lady is still more knowledgeable. If it were us younger ones, I'm afraid we still don't know why Brother Jian is so anxious."

Mrs. Wang then smiled and said: "Brother Jian... is still young after all. Now that he has been found out, don't go out and talk to Brother Zhen in private. Why bother to stir up trouble and bring the old lady to the police?" They were all taken aback.”

Li Wan suddenly frowned, and was about to say something when he heard Wang Xifeng say: "Madam, there's not much to say. Brother Jian is responsible for that matter. If word spreads in the future, it will be found out that it was Jian. If the news spreads out of the brother's mansion, it may offend the saint, so brother Jian must be punished."

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded and said: "Is it my fault, or is Sister Feng thinking carefully?" She was determined, since the last time she wanted to take back the greenhouse to make a living, her niece had been separated from her.

Wang Xifeng was about to say something else, when suddenly a maid came in and said, "Old lady, please see Uncle Zhen!"

Jia Mu thought: "Come to see me now? Please come in quickly."

They were all women and relatives, so there was no need to avoid taboos. In a moment, Jia Zhen was seen striding over. When she arrived, she bowed her head to the ground and said, "Old lady, my junior's family is unfortunate and has caused a huge disaster. Please save me, old lady!"

Jia Mu said in surprise: "What did you say? Brother Zhen, what is going on?"

Jia Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "I expected that the old lady also knew about Brother Jian's visit at noon to ask questions? I gave Brother Rong a scolding and then turned around to look for Ba Duoming. However, from noon to now, I have searched everywhere. The capital also couldn’t find any trace of Naba Duoming.”

"This -" Jia Mu thought to herself, could Xi Yi have run away?

Just listen to Jia Zhen cupping her hands and saying: "Old lady, please give me some relief. No matter what, please give Brother Jian a few days of grace. I will definitely get that picture back!"
