Chapter 317 Complaint (please subscribe)

"Something happened, something happened!"

It was the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the cold wind was blowing so hard that my cheeks hurt.

Jia Huan, who had just attended his younger brother's wedding banquet, returned to the martial arts studio and had not sat down on his butt when the steward in charge of the farm outside the city hurried over with a very ugly look on his face.

"what happened?"

Jia Huan frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Did something happen to Zhuangzi?"

"no!"

The steward shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It was the village that was previously managed by Rong Mansion, and someone died!"

"Anyone killed?"

Jia Huan's eyes turned cold and he said directly: "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"

"It was Zhou Rui who was in charge. He forced the tenants to such an extent that they even took their New Year's food away, and they forced people to die!"

When the steward said this, his face was full of disdain: "The old man in that house was so angry that he was beaten severely. Now he is lying on the bed and can't get out of bed!"

"The remaining mother-in-law and several children were all frightened!"

"The other tenants in Zhuangzi, who had long been holding back their anger, couldn't hold it back. They surrounded Zhou Rui and his entourage and gave them a beating!"

"When this guy saw that the situation was not good, he sent people directly to the nearby village to ask for help, and we only found out!"

"Then how did you deal with it?"

Jia Huan's eyes were cold and he asked directly: "It didn't intensify the conflict, right?"

"No, the younger one detained Zhou Rui directly!"

The steward said cautiously: "This guy acted too wantonly. In order to collect money, he almost drove the tenants on the village to death, and the villagers there also suffered greatly!"

"This guy is particularly hateful. He blames all the evil things he did on Rong Mansion!"

The steward said angrily: "When we caught him, this guy was quite arrogant, saying that he was the confidant of the second wife. Why do you, boss, a bastard, care about him?"

"Have you left any written evidence for the things you said before?"

Jia Huan waved his hand and asked directly: "Does Zhou Rui understand everything that happened after he took over Zhuangzi?"

"Don't worry, boss, everything has been taken care of!"

The manager sneered: "Since we dare to take people, we won't let boss you be affected!"

"That's nice to say!"

Jia Huan smiled and scolded: "Give me the evidence and seal the news properly at the same time!"

"Zhou Rui doesn't have much ability, but he is a master at making accusations. I don't want to suffer in his hands!"

"Don't worry, boss. We've brought the evidence and even the account books. Do you want to take a look?"

The steward nodded to show his understanding and said in a deep voice: "If this guy hadn't promised earlier that he would take down all the other Zhuangzi in Rong Mansion outside the city, I wouldn't have been so cruel!"

"Boss, you managed to run Zhuangzi so well, and the brothers' life at Zhuangzi was so fruitful. How could you let a guy like Zhou Rui ruin the good thing?"

"If it weren't for his special status and we didn't want to make things difficult for you, boss, he would never be able to leave the village this time. He simply doesn't regard those people in the village as human beings!"

"Bring it to me and take a look, so I can have an idea!"

Jia Huan didn't say anything more and just asked the steward to bring all the evidence. After reading through it carefully, the content inside is indeed quite exciting. I can only say that it is indeed Zhou Rui.

It took more than half a year to get the management rights of Zhuangzi. The results can be seen clearly from the account books. Not to mention that all the public properties in Zhuangzi were occupied, and the exploitation of tenants and farmers was simply exaggerated.

Just as the younger brother in charge said, the tenants and farmers on Zhuangzi are not treated as human beings at all!
It turned out that almost all the equipment and facilities that Jia Huan had arranged to improve productivity were destroyed by this guy and sold for money.

The management of other farms is a complete mess, with no plan or clue at all.

That's it, Zhou Rui finally plundered less than ten thousand taels of silver from the farm!
You know, the output of this village last year brought in a total of almost thirteen thousand taels!

This was under the premise that Jia Huan gave a lot of profits to tenants and villagers, which shows that Zhuangzi's output was high.

Now that he is still trying to kill someone and wants to slam the shit basin on Mrs. Wang's head, then don't blame him for being rude. Do you really think that Mrs. Wang is a clay Bodhisattva who can be manipulated?

After reading the detailed account books and written evidence, Jia Huan went to the Zhuangzi to have a look, and then immediately returned to the capital and went to Rongfu.

When passing the second door, he specifically asked if the Zhou Rui family was with Mrs. Wang?
Who knew that Zhou Rui's family was not in the house at this time, which was quite lucky.

"Brother Huan wants to see me. Do you have anything important to report?"

When Mrs. Wang received the notice from the maid, she was full of doubts, but she still let the person in.

She knew well that even though she was Jia Huan's aunt, it was only a matter of face.

In private, if there is nothing to do, Jia Huan will almost never come to the door, except for necessary etiquette.

Although Mrs. Wang was not very happy about this, she didn't take it too seriously.

This is what happens in a big family, the relationship between the aunt and the concubine is indifferent.

If there is no mutual hatred, then she is doing quite well, so what else can she do?
Anyway, Mrs. Wang feels that she has done a good job and allowed Jia Huan to grow up smoothly, which is impossible for other families.

At this time, she was not in a very good mood!

The main thing is that the ten thousand taels of money Zhou Rui promised to rent Zhuangzi has not been paid yet!
This is absolutely unacceptable to Mrs. Wang, who loves money.

In particular, Wang Xifeng had already taken away the portion of the money that was due to the big house according to the rental fee of 80,000 taels of silver. Mrs. Wang felt that she had suffered a big loss.

If Zhou Rui didn't hand over the ten thousand taels of silver, she would never agree.

Thinking about all these things, his face naturally doesn't look very good.

Jia Huan followed the maid in, bowed politely and said hello, and did not give Mrs. Wang a chance to braid her hair, which was considered as giving her aunt her face.

"Brother Huan, why are you suddenly here?"

Mrs. Wang said directly: "If there is nothing important, then step back!"

Jia Huan answered: "Mother, I do have something important to do when I come here this time, but it involves Supervisor Zhou Rui..."

Having said this, he subconsciously glanced at the maid next to Mrs. Wang, and the meaning was self-evident.

"You all should go out. You are not allowed to come in without my instructions!"

Mrs. Wang's eyelids moved slightly, and she opened her mouth to clear out all the maids in the room. Then she said slowly: "What exactly is going on with you? Can you explain it clearly now?"

"Mother, Zhou Rui beat someone to death on Zhuangzi, and he put the responsibility on you!"

Jia Huan was not polite and spoke directly.
