Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 143 Catch them all in one fell swoop

Ningguo Mansion, south hall.

When Lai Sheng led the stewards of each room in, Jia Rong was lazily leaning on the Arhat bed and reading.

"Sir, I heard that someone reported Mr. Xia for embezzling public funds?"

"Yes."

Jia Rong nodded lightly, took a report letter, handed it to Lai Sheng and said, "Look, it's well-founded and shocking."

Lai Sheng took it and took a look at it. He found that the handwriting on it was neat and neat, and he wrote about the corruption of the fourth house. It was Sun Heng who wrote it.

Not only Xia Zhangji, but also his name and that of the house stewards appeared. This made Lai Sheng's heart skip a beat. He subconsciously looked at Jia Rong, only to see Jia Rong lowering his head to read, as if he didn't care about the report letter.

The fear in his heart became more intense.

"Manager..."

At this moment, the stewards from each room came over to see the contents of the report letter.

Lai Sheng passed it on casually.

Not long after, the expressions of all the stewards in the hall changed and they shouted "slander", "nonsense" and "framing".

"Whether it is rumors or slander, we will know after a thorough interrogation."

Jia Rong was very calm and said lightly.

Hearing Jia Rong's calm tone, Lai Sheng and the other stewards were horrified.

As the saying goes: a dog that bites does not bark.

The calmer Jia Rong is, the angrier he is and the stronger the blow will be.

"Master, the informant is Sun Heng, and the interrogator is Sun Rui. They are brothers. Shouldn't they avoid suspicion? Otherwise, I'm afraid some people will say that the two brothers relied on the favor of the master to deliberately frame the fault and provoked The house is in panic."

Lai Sheng bowed and said with worry on his face.

"Yes."

"Even if we want to investigate, we can't let Sun Rui come to investigate. The people in the house will be frightened. Please give me a warning."

All the stewards nodded in agreement.

"It doesn't matter." Jia Rong waved her hand, "Brother Heng and Brother Rui are my brothers. If I don't believe them, who do they believe? I believe they can handle this matter."

After the words fell, someone reported that Sun Rui was waiting outside the door to see him.

"Oh? Please."

Jia Rong's eyes lit up and she quickly invited Sun Rui in.

"Master, Xia Suanzhang has made a move!"

Sun Ruixing rushed into the hall. The smell of blood had not dissipated from his body. His face and clothes were stained with blood. His face was red and he was holding a few pieces of paper. They were densely packed with confessions from Manager Xia and the accountants in the accounting room.

When he saw Lai Sheng and others, he didn't take it seriously, but instead sneered.

"Oh? Bring it quickly."

Jia Rong reached out, took the confession, and scanned it up and down.

When all the stewards heard Mr. Xia's confession, they couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in their hearts, their faces were ashen, and they felt as if they were considering concubines.

They all showed despair and fear, and subconsciously looked at Lai Sheng.

"Shuo Shu!"

After reading the confession, Jia Rong's eyes twitched and she couldn't help but curse.

When he checked the accounts in the past, he had a rough idea of ​​the number of corruption in the government.

Unexpectedly, the content of Xia Suanzhang's confession was shocking, twice as much as he had expected.

"Come here!" Jia Rong suddenly shouted angrily.

With a whoop, a group of guards rushed into the hall. They were all strong and strong, with serious faces. They looked at Jia Rong and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

"Take these slaves away and interrogate them carefully. I want to know how much money they have embezzled!" Jia Rong stood up suddenly and kicked Lai Sheng.

boom! Lai Sheng fell to the ground and looked at Jia Rong in disbelief. Jia Rong actually kicked him?

Not just him.

When the stewards saw that Jia Rong was so angry, he even kicked Lai Sheng down. His face turned pale and his body was shaking like chaff. They knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, please spare my life, Master, please spare your life..."

The escorts were ambushing around the south hall and had been waiting for this scene for a long time.

He saw Jia Rong kicking Lai Sheng away.

He rushed up immediately, showed a ferocious smile, held down the arms of Lai Sheng and the other stewards, twisted them, locked them, turned around, and took them out of the hall.

Anyone who complains about being wronged will be given a slap in the face.

"Shut up, why are you making such a fuss!"

At this time, everything in charge, the four rooms, and the management were all useless. The guards showed a fierce and vicious attitude, and they only regarded the stewards as skinny chickens, and took them into the prison cell and began to torture and interrogate them.

Not long after, shrill screams resounded one after another in a small courtyard.

The relatives in charge were frightened and frightened, asking for connections and asking for details.

However, before Jia Rong did anything, he communicated with You and Qin Keqing.

At this moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sitting together, but they were all silent, indifferent to the crying and begging of the girls and daughters-in-law.

Some people didn't even see them and just blocked the door.

******

There was an interrogation inside the house, and arrangements outside the house were not forgotten.

In the south hall, Jia Rong called Jiao Da and ordered him to lead his men to search Xia Suuzhang's house.

"Everything in the Xia family must be confiscated. Let people be careful." Jia Rong said seriously, "Whoever dares to stretch out his hand, I will chop off his claws!"

"Master, don't worry, I guarantee no one will dare to touch you." Jiao Da assured, patting his chest.

Then, Jia Rong called Jia Yun and Grandma Sun, and sent them down respectively to circle two courtyards and imprison the men, women, old and young of the Xia family respectively.

Jia Yun and Grandma Sun also took the order.

Not long after, a group of wolf-like guards rushed straight to Xia Suanzhang's house, blocked the front and back doors, kidnapped all the family members, young and old, and locked them up under separate guards.

Some students in the math class confiscated the Xia family's gold and silver treasures and documented them.

For a time, all the neighbors in this street were alarmed. They stuck their heads in the street and talked about it.

Word kept getting out.

******

How could such a huge movement in Ningguo Mansion be concealed?

The Lai Mansion was the first to get the word. They heard that Sun Heng had reported that the accountant had embezzled public funds, and things got worse and worse. In Jia Rong's rage, even Lai Sheng was pulled down for execution, looking horrified.

Then, Lai Da used his connections to go to Ningguo Mansion to inquire about the details.

Then Aunt Lai led a group of daughters-in-law and girls into Jia Mu's courtyard in Rongguo Mansion to cry and beg Jia Mu.

When Jia Mu learned about this, she was also shocked.

He immediately ordered someone to invite Jia Rong to intervene in the matter.

However, after hearing the letter from Rong Guofu, Jia Rong declined the offer directly, citing her poor health.

Not even seen!

After hearing this, Jia Mu immediately smashed the vase in Rongqing Hall, invited Jia She and Jia Zheng, and asked them to send someone to invite them.

However, Jia Rong still didn't come.

"Go there yourself-"

In the Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother got angry, pointed at Jia She and Jia Zheng and cursed: "Forget about others, the Lai family is the closest to me. Tell that evildoer to let him go!"

"Yes." Jia She and Jia Zheng took the order and came to Ningguo Mansion.

In the south hall of Ningguo Mansion, when Jia She and Jia Zheng came to the door, Jia Rong frowned and couldn't help cursing secretly, "You are so old, you are relying on your old age every day, it's really annoying!"

After that, he entered the Nuan Pavilion and began to pretend to be sick.
