From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 173 The show begins

The next day, the Jinyi Guards were in charge of the headquarters.

As soon as Jia Wei arrived at the Jinyi Yamen, Pei Lun came up to him.

He handed over a stack of documents. Jia Wei took a look and found that it was evidence of Wang Xifeng's crime. "So soon? It's only the second day."

Pei Lun bowed and smiled, "Thanks to you, my Lord, this mission was able to go so smoothly. My Lord, please check it out. If you need anything else, I will do it immediately."

The first one was the account book of Wang Xifeng's loan sharking, and Jia Wei glanced through it.

It's laughable to say it out loud, but Feng Jieer embezzled the monthly wages of Lady Jia and the servants to lend money at high interest rates. Even if it was just a few taels of change, she would use it to make some money.

Since it is usury, many people cannot pay the money when it is due. At this time, Wang Xifeng will take advantage of the power of Rongguo Mansion and use ruthless means.

Pei Lun found several victims and obtained their fingerprinted confessions. Jia Wei would not pity these people who had brought this upon themselves, but only used them as bargaining chips to attack Wang Xifeng.

Then there was the evidence of Wang Xifeng interfering in the lawsuit in the government office. Pei Lun found three examples, one of which was familiar to Jia Wei.

The rich man Zhang had a daughter who was noticed by the young master of the Li family when she went to the temple to burn incense. However, the daughter Zhang had already accepted the betrothal gift from the garrison of Chang'an and was engaged.

Mr. Zhang, a wealthy man, regrets his decision and wants to cancel the engagement and marry his daughter to the young master of the Li family. The garrison commander disagrees and prepares to file a lawsuit.

Wang Xifeng received three thousand taels of silver and asked the garrison to cancel the engagement in the name of Jia Lian. However, the loyal daughter of the Zhang family and the garrison's son both committed suicide.

There is a petition written by the garrison commander himself, as well as a letter sent that day with the seal of Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion, ordering the garrison commander's family to cancel the engagement as evidence.

Jia Wei looked at Pei Lun again, "You did a good job, go down."

"I resign from my humble position!"

Pei Lun was also very tactful. He bowed and turned away without mentioning the matter of the Northern Pacification Envoy at all.

Jia Wei threw Feng Jie'er's handle aside, picked up his pen and started writing the personnel appointment document.

He also wants to be a good leader, and likes to use both kindness and force. In his previous life, he hated leaders who only made empty promises!

"Appoint Qianhu Shen Lian as the commander, transfer Pei Lun to the Northern Pacification Envoy, and promote Chen Zhong to the position of Trial Hundred Household Member..."

Pei Lun was originally the Southern Pacifier. When he was transferred to the Northern Pacifier, although his position did not change, the Northern Pacifier was in charge of the imperial prison and his position carried more power.

Jia Wei then entered the palace, changed the duty roster of Long Jinwei, and went to the emperor to show his presence. He also informed Dai Quan that the situation was sensitive and he wanted to secretly strengthen the guard force in the palace.

Jia Wei didn't know whether the old eunuch went back to inform Prince Ningjing last night, and whether they would launch a coup on the night of the 28th. He could only choose to be prepared.

Jia Wei had been thinking about how to punish Feng Jieer all morning, and he could not help but prepare a plan in advance on how to force Feng Jieer into a corner. At this point, he thought of Wang Xifeng's coquettishness...

Until noon, Jia Wei could no longer bear it, and skipped work and went home with the stack of evidence of Wang Xifeng's crimes.

As he went deeper into the mansion, servants kept coming to greet him and congratulate him. The ceremony took place on the 28th, and the news of Jia Wei and Bao Chai's marriage spread throughout the two mansions.

Of course, it wasn’t just the Jia family that was discussing this in Shenjing City.

After all, Jia Wei did a lot of great things that were widely known, such as winning the martial arts exam, rescuing the emperor from rebellion at Tiewang Mountain, and killing Wei Ao...

Lord Jia is still very famous in the capital, and now that he is getting married, it will surely be known to the whole city.

Jia Wei was walking back to his own courtyard to change his clothes, thinking about Wang Xifeng, and he almost bumped into a maid when he turned a corner.

He looked carefully and found that it was Ping'er!
Ping Er hurriedly bowed, "Second Master."

"Ping'er? What brings you here today?" Jia Wei waved his hand and said.

Ping'er was a little surprised to see that Jia Yu still remembered her. She stood up and said, "In reply to Master Yu, according to the custom of previous years, the two mansions always buy New Year's goods together. Today, my grandmother came to discuss this matter with Grandmother You."

Wang Xifeng is in his house? Jia Wei smiled. Isn't this just a coincidence?
Jia Wei looked at Ping'er's charming face and immediately had something in mind.

We must seize the opportunity to snatch Ping'er away. If we delay any longer, such a good girl will be ruined by Jia Lian.

Ping Er saw Jia Wei staring at her, and she couldn't hide for a moment, so she could only lower her head. Suddenly, she thought of the story of Jia Wei and Yuan Yang again...

She is different from Yuanyang. Yuanyang is the old lady's maid and will be awarded to the young man sooner or later. The affair between Jia Wei and Yuanyang is not a big deal.

But she was Wang Xifeng's dowry, and would only be Jia Lian's concubine in the future. If she had any entanglement with Jia Wei, it would be a disgrace. Jia Wei asked, "Did they come to a conclusion after the discussion?"

"Grandma You said that it depends on what you, Second Master, think."

Jia Wei nodded and said, "Go and ask Lian's second sister-in-law to wait in the main hall. I'll change my clothes and come right over."

Ping'er was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, for such a small matter, Jia Wei just gave the order and she could just go and pass on the message. Why did she need to ask Wang Xifeng to discuss it again?
But Jia Wei was used to being overbearing, so as a maid, she certainly didn't dare to say anything and could only bow her head and agree.

Jia Wei returned to the yard and saw Zhao Min basking in the sun on a lounge chair, looking very bored.

Jia Wei pulled her up and slapped her on the buttocks: "How can a maid be as lazy as you? You are more senior than me. Come in and help me change clothes."

With every step Zhao Min took, her body was shaking.

Since she wouldn't go out and be seen by others, Jia Wei didn't allow her to bind her chest.

The main reason is that she is still growing and it is not good for her health. Jia Wei did not think about feasting his eyes on her, but instead shocked Qingwen by staring at her constantly.

Zhao Min is clumsy when serving others and can't even put on her clothes properly. It may be that she did it on purpose.

But Jia Wei didn't care. He enjoyed the spiritual pleasure of enslaving Princess Shao Min.

After asking the well-behaved Xiangling to help him tidy up, Jia Wei left the yard and walked towards the main hall.

He called Ding Baiying and ordered, "Go and drive away all the maids and servants serving in the main hall, and then guard the main courtyard yourself. No one is allowed to come in."

"What happened?"

Ding Baiying was stunned. What could have happened in the mansion that required such a fuss?
"Want to know? Just watch secretly while you are guarding the door. Just don't disturb me." Jia Wei patted her butt and said, "Go do your work."

When Jia Wei said this, Ding Baiying immediately understood, "Who wants to peek?" She turned and left.

After Ding Baiying left, Jia Wei waited for a while before going to the main hall.

In front of the five large rooms in the main hall, Ding Baiying had completed the task given to her by Jia Wei, and she also knew who was sitting in the room.

It turned out to be Wang Xifeng, the Second Wife of Lian from the West Mansion!

When she saw Jia Wei coming, she looked strange.

Although Ding Baiying didn't say anything, Jia Wei felt that her curse was too dirty when he saw her contemptuous look!
Jia Wei pinched her face and said, "What do you mean by that? Guard the door for me, I'll deal with you tonight."

Jia Wei waved his sleeves and walked into the main hall, and Sister Feng also came to greet him.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you still here with such a big fuss today?"

Wang Xifeng also noticed that all the maids around her had been withdrawn, but she didn't care and sat firmly on the platform.

What can Jia Wei do in broad daylight? He is not a madman.

Everyone else is afraid of this Second Master Jia Wei, but Sister Feng is a brave woman, and Jia Wei will not use violence against a woman like her, so what is there to be afraid of?
"I want to discuss something with my second sister-in-law. It will be easier to talk with fewer people." Jia Wei sat down in the main seat with a calm face. "Second sister-in-law, please sit down. Sister Ping'er, please sit down too."

The maids were all gone, and Ping Er poured tea and served it to Jia Wei. She also brought a footstool and sat behind Feng Jieer.

Wang Xifeng saw this and said with a smile, "Brother Yu is a man who cares for girls." She looked at Ping'er again and said, "Master Yu has treated you with respect, and you still don't thank him?"

Ping'er blushed, glared at Fengjie, then stood up and thanked Jia Wei.

When Jia Wei saw Wang Xifeng's smug look, he laughed in his heart.

Are you still in the mood to tease me about a girl?
I'll make you cry later!
When Wang Xifeng started the story, she didn't mention the two mansions' purchase of New Year's goods, as these were all trivial matters.

She told me that Baoyu had suffered from hysteria. He had been crazy for several days and was not getting better.

Both Lady Jia and Mrs. Wang cried for several times, but fortunately Baoyu was still breathing.

Sister Feng said that Mrs. Wang went to the Muni Temple outside the west gate and invited a nun named Miaoyu to perform a ritual, but Baoyu still did not get better...
