A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 227 Slap in the face
Clean family background.

Naturally, the ones chosen are all girls from good families.

Most of the people taken in by the pawnbrokers are servants from families that have been convicted of crimes. The market for these servants is quite good and they are all well-trained.

The other part is more scattered, some of them sell themselves voluntarily, some are from poor families and are sold by their parents, and a small number are homeless people.

What Old Lady Jiang wants is a family with a clean background. The Jiang family is not a wealthy family, and they can discipline their servants themselves.

After hearing what Old Lady Jiang wanted, the servant smiled and said quickly, "Don't worry, Old Lady, we have everything!"

The grandfather and grandson followed the servant straight to the backyard.

Arriving at the backyard, Jiang Yunjin had just stood firm when he saw the servant leading the group in front of him hurriedly running to a middle-aged woman and whispering something.

Although she didn't know what the two of them said, she saw that the old woman kept looking at them, the grandmother and the granddaughter, and she always felt that she was looking at them as if they were goods.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn around and gently tug at Old Lady Jiang's sleeve, facing her puzzled gaze and slowly spoke.

"Grandma, I think something is wrong."

Jiang Yunjin said this and pointed at two people not far away.

At this time, Old Lady Jiang seemed to have just noticed the two of them. Seeing them whispering to each other, it was obvious that they were planning something.

Old Mrs. Jiang's face darkened instantly. She originally wanted to take the little girl away, but after changing her mind, she stopped.

If they just left like this, people would inevitably look at them as if they were feeling guilty, especially since they hadn't done anything.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Jiang looked down at the little girl and said casually, "By the way, Xiao Yunjin, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to go to the Criminal Justice Department to see Lord Shen? It just so happens that we have a lot of bean sprouts at home, so bring them to Lord Shen."

Lord Shen? Bean sprouts?

Jiang Yunjin was confused for a second, then quickly realized that the old lady was using the Criminal Justice Department as a shield.

Of course, she couldn't hold the old lady back.

"Buy some servants today, and go to the Criminal Justice Department to sign the deed later. We can also send some food to Lord Shen and some mutton."

Jiang Yunjin was talking to the old lady while facing the two people. He also took out the small sign belonging to the Criminal Justice Department and shook it as if unintentionally.

She saw from the corner of her eye that the two people who were originally whispering to each other suddenly turned pale and couldn't even utter a word.

After that, the grandfather and grandson stopped their conversation and turned to see the boy hurriedly coming, followed by the old woman who had just spoken to him.

When the servant and the maid arrived in front of Old Madam Jiang, they both had flattering smiles on their faces.

"Madam, I heard that you wanted servants with clean family backgrounds, right? What a coincidence! We just received a batch today, and we will bring them up for you to have a look, little Luzi! Don't just stand there, bring the people up quickly!"

Xiao Luzi responded after hearing that, turned around and brought the person up.

Xiaoluzi was the servant who had just led the grandparents and grandchildren.

After Xiao Luzi left, the old woman started chatting with Old Lady Jiang very enthusiastically, asking questions all the time.

Old Mrs. Jiang was not a pushover either, so she naturally understood the meaning behind the old woman's words. She didn't say much, but just said that she was an old acquaintance of the Shen family.

That's quite true.

A few days ago, Jiang Yunjin specially invited many acquaintances to visit the manor, including the Shen family. At that time, it was the eldest branch of the Shen family who came. At that time, Mrs. Jiang personally met Mrs. Shen and took the female relatives to look around. During the conversation, they got along better and better, and almost recognized each other as sisters, but due to the age issue, Mrs. Jiang did not say this idea.

While the two were talking, Xiao Luzi came over with a group of people.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunjin tugged at Old Lady Jiang's sleeve and took the old lady to pick someone.

On the way here, the two discussed this issue and how many people should be bought.

Jiang Yunjin counted the rooms in the country house before coming here. There were about thirty rooms in total, ten of which were small rooms where servants lived.

She looked carefully and found that there was a large bunk bed inside that could accommodate about four or five people.

The room was small and could only accommodate a large bunk bed and a table, without even a cabinet.

With this calculation, buying twenty servants would not be a problem.

Afterwards, Old Lady Jiang picked twelve servants, four maids, two housemaids, and a cook. Most importantly, she found a reliable housekeeper. Finally, she selected six guards, all of whom were strong and healthy.

A total of twenty-six people were selected, and the total cost was less than three hundred taels of silver.

Old Mrs. Jiang only selected people with clean family backgrounds and who were literate, so their prices were naturally much higher.

After paying the deposit, Old Lady Jiang took her people to the Criminal Justice Department. When they arrived there, after the deed was almost completed, she paid the balance.

Normally, it was the servants from the pawnbroker's shop who were supposed to go to the yamen to keep an eye on this matter, but who would have thought that today the servant would go with that old woman.

Jiang Yunjin naturally knew what the other party was thinking and did not stop him. Instead, he openly invited the other party to go together.

However, before leaving, Jiang Yunjin specifically found a servant at home and asked him to go back and bring some things to the Criminal Justice Department.

She watched the servant leave before turning around to look for Old Madam Jiang. She followed him into the pawnshop's carriage, followed by the servants she had just bought.

The Criminal Justice Department is located in the West Market. Walk through three streets and you will come to a central street. Go straight along the road and you will soon see the plaque of the Criminal Justice Department.

The Criminal Justice Department was as serious as ever. When the carriage approached, guards rushed over with guns and stopped the carriage.

"The prison is a restricted area. Outsiders are not allowed to approach!"

A rough voice came from outside the carriage.

Jiang Yunjin felt that it was somewhat familiar. Before he moved, he heard the old woman muttering softly.

"Why did you stop us? Don't you know anyone from the Criminal Justice Department? I would say we should go to the government office. It's still early. Maybe we can still make it in time!"

The old woman kept mumbling, obviously not believing that the grandfather and grandson in front of her really knew someone from the Criminal Justice Department.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her face became even gloomier. Just as she was about to scold the old woman, she saw her granddaughter slowly lift up the curtain of the carriage.

"Brother Hu, it turns out that you are on duty today! I wonder if Lord Shen is in the office? It just so happens that I have something to talk to Lord Shen about."

"Oh! It turns out to be Miss Jiang. Why are you sitting in such a shabby carriage today? You are a pawnbroker, but I didn't recognize you for a moment. I hope you won't blame me!"

The guard known as Brother Hu bowed to the little girl as he spoke, then turned around and waved behind him. The guards blocking both sides withdrew instantly.

The old woman who saw this scene screamed and fell to the ground. Obviously, she didn't expect that she would hit a wall today.
