Chapter 58 Qin Keqing: Uncle!
Jia Wei thought that Zhao Wuji could raise a battalion of rebels and was the leader of the Tianli Sect, so he should have a lot of wealth at home...

Confiscating property is a very lucrative job.

"Alas, my family has fallen on hard times now, so I have to find a way to earn some money to supplement the family income... This makes sense!"

As for whether there is corruption or not, Jia Wei never cares.

He knew one thing very well: as long as he was in power, no matter how big the crime was, it would be fine;

If he were defeated one day, even if he was incorruptible and upright, his enemies would be able to list ten major charges against him.

So embezzling a little money is a small matter, the key is to keep winning.

Jia Wei came to Zhao's house, tore off the seal, and ordered people to start working.

As the main culprit, Zhao Wuji was executed. Not long after that, the East Factory came to arrest his family and put them in prison, and sealed Zhao’s house.

"Master Jia, all of Zhao Wuji's family members have been imprisoned...but he has a daughter who is not in the capital, and has not yet been arrested."

Jia Wei was alert instantly: "Order someone to issue a wanted order and send it to all prefectures and cities. We must arrest Zhao's daughter as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Jia Wei also knew that most of these were in vain.

"If we don't remove the root of the problem, it will be bad... Will this Zhao girl lead the Tianli Sect to oppose me? Forget it, let's confiscate her property first!"

Jia Wei went straight into the main room and searched for a while. He saw a gold bracelet of excellent quality in the box. He wiped it and put it in his pocket.

Suddenly he saw a booklet in the box, so he picked it up and took a look, and he was immediately overjoyed!
It turned out to be Zhao Wuji's magic method of controlling people! It was really an unexpected success. Jia Wei naturally accepted it and studied it carefully when he came down.

After busying themselves for two quarters of an hour, they finally finished confiscating and registering the property in Zhao's house, and Lu Jianxing handed it to Jia Wei for review.

Jia Wei skipped over the antiques that needed to be resold, "Five thousand taels of gold, seventeen hundred thousand taels of silver...how come it's so little?"

Jia Wei shook his head, took the pen, crossed out the "X" on it, then picked up three silver ingots and threw one to each of the three brothers.

"Here's a reward for you. Take it and treat the brothers below to some tea."

Lu Jianxing took the booklet and was shocked to see that Jia Wei had embezzled 100,000 taels with just one stroke of the pen. He could only take the silver ingot.

If they are unwilling to share the spoils, the magistrate will probably still feel uneasy...

"Thank you for your reward, sir."

Then Jia Wei took people to raid the homes of the accomplices involved in the Zhao Wuji case.

After visiting more than a dozen families along the way, Jia Wei embezzled another 80,000 to 90,000 taels of silver.

In the remaining few houses, there were still criminals who had not been caught. Men, women, old and young, wept bitterly, saying goodbye to their loved ones...

Jia Wei was kindhearted and could not bear to see this, so he could only order the Jinyiwei to be gentle and not too harsh, and he went out to count the money to change his mood:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, nearly two hundred thousand taels of silver in just one morning. Old Ma can't make as fast as me!"

The next step is the highlight, the sealing off of Ningguo Mansion!

There is only one word difference between confiscation and seizure, but the meanings are completely different.

The "Ningguo Mansion built by imperial decree" and its land and farms were all property of the nobility. The emperor would naturally take them back if the title was lost. However, the fact that the emperor allowed Jia Wei, a resident of Ningguo Mansion, to seize the property is worth pondering.

Jia Wei could also guess the emperor's intention, and most likely the emperor would return Ningguo Mansion to him as a reward in the future.

As for when, I don’t know. It could be tomorrow, or it could be the day he is made a marquis…

Jia Wei dismounted in front of the gate of Ningguo Mansion and entered through the main entrance.

At this time, there were servants guarding the front and back doors, and no one in the Ning Mansion could move around.

When they got to the courtyard, Jia Wei said solemnly to all the Jinyiwei: "I am a descendant of Ningguo. Since I am doing the emperor's mission, I dare not be partial to others. "...But there are my relatives and friends in the mansion, and there are also my eldest sister-in-law and other female relatives in the back house. If anyone offends me, I will take care of it, haha."

The Jinyiwei saluted in unison and said, "We dare not!"

Jia Wei glanced at the housekeeper, "Where is Lai Sheng?"

The steward replied, "Second Master, Steward Lai went back to Lai's house yesterday and couldn't come in."

Jia Wei said, "Have someone lead the way and invite Steward Lai to come and help them check the accounts."

Jia Wei naturally knew about the evil deeds of the brothers Lai Da and Lai Sheng. They did whatever they wanted in the Jia family and embezzled money for themselves. They were complete parasites and vampires.

Jia Wei of Rongguo Mansion has no control over Lai Da's greed, but he will definitely take this opportunity to make Lai Sheng return the property he embezzled from Ningguo Mansion!
"Send the message first, then go home, and ask the family members to stay away."

Jia Wei looked at Lu Jianxing and the others again and said, "Tell the clerk to bring the servants to check the accounts of each room. Remember to check the accounts carefully."

After Jia Wei gave the order, he took out the Embroidered Spring Sword and threw it to Shen Lian, then went straight to the back house.

It’s time to meet my sister-in-law and nephew’s wife…

Jia Wei entered the ceremonial gate and first arrived at Jia Rong's courtyard. When the maid saw him, she was about to go in to report, but Jia Wei stopped her and said, "The Jinyiwei are coming up ahead to check the property of the title. You should go out and watch as well."

"Okay, Second Master."

When Jia Yu entered the courtyard and went straight to the main room, Qin Keqing had already heard the sound and was about to stand up. He hurriedly said, "Just lie down. You are so seriously ill that you don't need to follow the etiquette."

Jia Wei glanced around the room and found it was indeed beautifully furnished. He walked forward and Ruizhu brought a soft stool and placed it in front of the bed.

Qin Keqing said softly, "Greetings to Uncle Wei."

Jia Wei saw that she had indeed lost some weight and her complexion was not good. She was wearing plain clothes and had no makeup on, but she was still as beautiful as ever, dazzling him.

Qin Keqing was probably driven into mental illness by Jia Zhen. Although she is no longer harassed by Jia Zhen, Jia Rong is gone too. In this era, women depend on men to live, so it is no wonder that her illness has worsened...

Qin Keqing asked: "Uncle Yu came today..."

"It's to pick you and your sister-in-law up from the house." Qin Keqing was startled when she heard this, her face looking grim.

Jia Wei said, "Don't think too much. Just take good care of yourself. No matter where you go, you will need food, clothing and other expenses. Although Brother Zhen and Rong'er are gone, you still have me as your uncle. You can relax."

"I know that I am just going to get through this illness," Qin Keqing said with a smile, "Even if the gods can cure the disease, they can't cure my life..."

Seeing her complexion, Jia Wei was afraid that she would die on the road, so he smiled and said, "The gods can't save you, but I can. Medicine and martial arts are inseparable. Show me your hand."

Qin Keqing was stunned. She came from a scholarly family and naturally understood the principle of separation between men and women, but she could not avoid seeing a doctor. And Jia Wei was her elder, so she felt that she could not disobey her uncle's orders.

Her face turned red, and she slowly stretched out a piece of snow-white arm from the quilt. Seeing Jia Wei's righteous face, she felt relieved.

For a moment, he felt a little guilty: "Uncle Wei is a martial arts champion, so he must be an excellent doctor. But I am just imagining something..."

As soon as Jia Wei put his hand on hers, he felt it was extremely cold. The moment their skin touched, Qin Keqing's body trembled slightly.

Jia Yu felt her pulse was weak and frowned for a moment. Ke Qing then said, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Yu..."

Jia Wei thought about it and decided to give her some Nine Yang True Qi, not to cure her illness, but to heal her body first.

The Nine Yang Divine Art is not only the nemesis of all cold poisons, it also has the effect of healing wounds, and the effect is extremely good.

Keqing suddenly felt a warm current rushing in from her wrist, invading her whole body. She felt extremely comfortable for a moment and couldn't help but shouting out:
"Uncle..."

 Hehe, I’ve recommended the second round of resurrection. It won’t be put on the shelves yet, and it can last for another week.
