It would be fine if the windfall he got in Ningguo Mansion earlier could be kept, but when he entered the palace that day, the emperor's thunder was so furious that he almost burst into tears.

That huge windfall had to be dug out of his pocket, making him sleepless for a few days.

Unexpectedly, the leak in the house coincided with the continuous night rain, and the court began to pursue the deficit again at this time.

This is to kill him!

Hou Xiaokang, the hereditary first-class son of the Duke of Xiuguo, looked at Jia Qiang, hesitated for a while, and then said with difficulty: "Brother Qiang, can you talk to the Ministry of Family Affairs, and be tolerant to us who are from the founding of the country?" [-]. In terms of roots, the ancestors of the Lin family are also from the founding line, although they are feudal lords, not military honors, but they are still in the same line, isn’t there a passion for it?”

Jia Qiang was a little surprised and said: "The meritorious officials of Yuanping are all poor, so they are the big borrowers. Why did the masters also borrow money from the household department?"

The scene was silent for a while, and everyone's faces became embarrassed. Jia Qiang knew that he had made a slip of the tongue. He knew that the more these people declined, the more decent they would be. , They can’t compare with us. We all have the foundation left by our ancestors, but they are famous and have no benefits at all. Many people rely on the Ministry of Households to make ends meet. So, this time it is mainly aimed at them.

As for the families of family friends... I will try my best to explain it in front of my husband, and even if I try to pay it back, I don't have to pay it all at once.But this time, we, the founding heroes, must be of the same mind, take the opportunity to chase after the heroes of Yuanping and bite off a few bites of meat, and also put them in front, let them pay back the deficit first!The harder we beat them, the more it hurts, and the more wronged we are, I can manage it better and beg my husband to forgive me. "

As soon as this remark came out, several people who had not spoken up until now, such as Shi Guangzhu, the first-class son of the Duke of Shanguo, Jiang Zining, the second-class man of the Marquis of Pingyuan, and Xie Qiong, the second-class man of the Marquis of Dingcheng and a guerrilla in the Beijing camp, etc. Standing up, he said in a loud voice, "Yuanping's thieves are too deceitful! If we let him go this time, how can we see others in the founding line? The face of our ancestors has also been lost! Let's go! Just press the button!" Brother Qiang said, go to Shuntian Mansion to beat the drums of grievances! Tonight, let the old official Han Zong arrest that lawless bastard!! Otherwise, I will wait for each family to pick up the pills from each ancestral hall. Book iron coupons, knock on the Dengwen drum, enter the palace to avenge grievances!!!”

When Jia Qiang heard this, her heart was shocked. When money was involved, these veteran nobles were still ruthless!

However, he likes...

Chapter 261 Old but not dead is a thief! !

Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.

Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Xue, who was almost dying, and sighed, "Since the imperial doctor said that you will probably be fine after tonight, why do you have to suffer so much? If you get overwhelmed, who will Pan'er count on?" ?”

Baochai also persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Mom, just listen to your aunt and go and have a rest."

Aunt Xue shook her head palely and said: "I can't go, if I go, if Pan'er leaves, I won't even be able to see him for the last time... This evil person, why don't you take me with you, I can rest assured Ah!" Then he cried again.

Baochai was speechless, and tears fell like rain. Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said angrily: "How can you say these unlucky words at this time? Stop it quickly! Or, don’t even think about it, what kind of people are the imperial doctors, if there is such a big risk, they dare to say that they will be fine after staying overnight?"

As soon as this remark came out, Aunt Xue and Baochai were startled.

After all, Baochai was young and had few business affairs, but Aunt Xue was different. Xue's family was originally from an imperial businessman, and had a close relationship with the Tian family. She knew more about some of the secrets of the Tian family than ordinary officials.

Naturally, he is familiar with the habits of the Tai Hospital, and his life-related outpatient visits have always been stable, and he must remove his ties in advance and refuse to take the slightest risk.

Since Doctor Wen just said so confidently, it can be seen that things are probably not that bad...

Thinking about it this way, Aunt Xue's heart really relaxed a lot.

When Mrs. Wang saw it, she said, "Girl Bao, help your mother go to the back to rest for a while, and wait for the news inside. If you stay here all night, you will definitely fall ill."

Hearing this, Baochai hurriedly greeted Tongxi and Tonggui, and helped Aunt Xue to go to the backyard.

Aunt Xue didn't hold back anymore, and was sent to the back by Tongxi Tonggui.

Mrs. Wang is the head wife of the Rong Mansion, so of course it is impossible to stay in Lixiangyuan overnight, so she has to go back to the mansion after leaving the house.

But in the corridor, when Baochai thanked her and said goodbye, she smiled and said: "You child, are you being polite to me? Don't you have a relationship?"

Baochai's face was pale, and she forced a smile: "If there is no aunt, mother and I can do nothing if this kind of thing happened at home."

Mrs. Wang shook her head and sighed: "Speaking of which, I blame my family. If it wasn't for Brother Qiang, how could Pan'er be instigated to provoke that oiran? If he hadn't provoked that oiran, he wouldn't have left here for no reason. Many disasters. Pian Pan'er is a solid wooden head. He was cheated miserably, and he still thought of other people's good. He was so injured that he lost his mind and said such stupid things. He is stupid, you Don't be confused. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything about what happened tonight, and you should do the same, you're a well-known lady, understand?"

Baochai was confused and didn't know how to respond, so she nodded slowly and said, "I understand."

Mrs. Wang was satisfied when she saw it, she stretched out her hand to shake Baochai's hand, and then, protected by Zhou Rui's family, Lin Zhixiao's family and other women, she returned to Rongfu from the corner gate in the northeast corner.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard Caixia rushing to report: "Second master is making a fuss in Rongqing hall, he is about to cry about something bad, madam, go and have a look!"

……

Lin Mansion, Zhonglin Hall.

The torch that was originally extinguished was brightened again at some point.

There was an ordinary-looking man in the hall who was dressed like an ordinary man in charge of the house, but at this moment he was talking to Lin Ruhai who was wearing a shirt and sitting on a back chair with a solemn expression.

In the Lin Mansion, there was actually a rule, once Lin Ruhai went to bed and rested, no one should disturb her easily, except for the angels in the palace.

However, this unattractive man called Lin Ruhai up tonight...

Lin Ruhai didn't get angry, and his face was calm, but there was still a solemn expression between his brows.

He said in a deep voice: "Chenglin, it's true that Qiang'er went out before the Jia family knocked on the door?"

Cheng Lin, on the surface, is just a subordinate of the Lin family.

His wife is an ordinary cook in the kitchen, and his son is in charge of the storeroom. He is the son of the Lin family.

However, in fact, Cheng Lin is in charge of a force hidden under the water for Lin Ruhai.

In the 13 years in Yangzhou, the Yamen of the Salt Court has inspected so many salt merchants. If there were no forests, Lin Ruhai would not be alive today...

Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, Cheng Lin affirmed, "Exactly."

Although he has just arrived in the capital, he is still in absolute control of the inside and outside of the Lin Mansion.

When Lin Ruhai heard the words, the seriousness between his brows turned into a touch of emotion, and he sighed, "Today's matter must have been planned by Qiang'er. It's hard for him... Now, he and the founding heroes have all gone to the Shuntian government office? "

Cheng Lin nodded and said, "Exactly. However, there is one thing that I don't know if I should say it or not..."

"What's up……"

Lin Ruhai laughed halfway through, "You and I still have something to say?"

Cheng Lin also smiled, and said: "Qing Yuan's manpower is only spread to the old lady of Jia's mansion, so I got the latest letter from there. The Lian Er who lives in Jia's house. Grandma said that Mr. Xue is seriously injured. When he woke up half dying, he entrusted his sister to Uncle Qiang..."

Lin Ruhai was startled when he heard the words, then frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Jia Qiang, it's just that... the Xue family and Jia Qiang have been too close for a long time.

Moreover, that Xue Pan of the Xue family was even more generous than a boy who gave away money, and even gave the ancestral property of the Xue family to Jia Qiang for charity.

Even though that Xue Pan was a bigot, he wasn't really a fool. Could it be that he wasn't worried at all, that Jia Qiang swallowed Feng's name with all his heart?

So, this time Jia Qiang tricked him... let's think it was Jia Qiang who tricked him, of course, it could be a conspiracy...

In short, this Xue family also plotted against Jia Qiang once...
