[Comprehensive Red House] Off-site Guidance System

Because of an accident in the mansion, Jia Lian and his wife stayed in the East Courtyard tonight, and asked Ping'er to stay in the small courtyard where they lived and take care of the elder sister.In this way, when Jia Lian came back, he could go directly to the couple's house in the East Courtyard without disturbing the whole house.

When Wang Xifeng, who had been waiting for half the night, read the account books of the confiscated items brought back by Jia Lian, she was really startled.Looking at the cash that was confiscated from the houses of these twenty or so stewards alone, there were three to four million taels of cash.There are also several large boxes of antiques with the seal of the Jia family that came out of the old library, and there are countless Tiandi Zhuangzi shops.This is not counted as the money from everyone Lai, let alone copying the imperial gift from Lai's house and Zhou Rui's house.

Wang Xifeng was furious immediately, and directly scolded: "These slaves who eat inside and outside are black-hearted and rotten. They are raised to eat their masters. If they kill them directly, they don't understand my tone. They should send the whole family to the mine. Work hard and grind them to death slowly."

Seeing that she was angry, Jia Lian hurriedly persuaded her, "Good grandma, let's not be angry for now. I asked the master a while ago, and he said that our family owes the treasury a total of 80 taels of cash. Most of them were with my grandfather when he picked up the driver in the south of the Yangtze River. It was borrowed from the household department. Now the master means to take advantage of the opportunity of the two sages to let us do it, take the confiscated silver and return it directly to the household department. Originally, the master said that it was not enough. He first used his private house to make up for it, but now It seems that in addition to the money returned to the state treasury, and the items to be returned to our family in the old treasury and a few imperial gifts, there are still some things left, including fields, houses and shops. What the master means is that they are ours. Private room."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she became energetic immediately, and hurriedly discussed with Jia Lian how to dispose of the things, and then saw what was left.

Early the next morning, Jia She and his wife, Jia Zheng and his wife, and Jia Lian and his wife gathered in Rongqingtang, and wanted to greet the old lady first.As a result, Yuanyang came out and said that the old lady didn't sleep well yesterday, and now she has no energy, so she won't come out.The old lady said that the two masters should discuss matters in the house.

A group of people withdrew after hearing the words and went directly to the warehouse.Upon hearing this, Jia She said directly: "Since this is the case, the second brother will ask the younger brother to bring out the account books and keys of the treasury, as well as the identity certificates of the slaves in the mansion. Let's open the treasury first."

"There are really too many account books accumulated over the years, and we have to sort them out. Why is the lord so anxious?" Mrs. Wang said anxiously, not mentioning the key to the warehouse and the bond of slavery.

Jia She sneered, "If that's the case, I'll just open the warehouse and take an inventory. After the account is finished, I think the second sibling will finish sorting out the account books. If it's really not possible, I have the account book left by Lianer's mother when she was housekeeper. Two times, one pair is enough. Come on." Turning around, he said to Jia Zheng, "Since the sage has decreed, the second brother should urge the younger brothers and sisters to bring the things quickly."

When Jia Zheng heard this, his face turned red.He only shouted to Mrs. Wang: "Ignorant woman, hurry up and bring it. You can't resist the order."

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to ask Jin Chuan to get the key to the warehouse.Dozens of health servants and accountants followed Jin Chuan in.As soon as the doors of several warehouses were opened, these people went directly to each warehouse in an orderly manner to unpack and check and register.

Another boy brought tables and chairs, and offered tea to Jia Amnesty and others to make.Jia Zheng looked stunned, and quickly asked, "Brother, who are these people? Why did they suddenly enter the mansion? What if something goes wrong?"

"Of course I'm here to help check the warehouse, so we can quickly find out what else we've lost. Don't worry, these are old people used by grandma and father. They are the most reliable." Jia She held the teacup, Answer leisurely.

Hearing that Jia Zhengcai stopped talking, Mrs. Wang didn't want to say much when she saw this, she just sat on the sidelines secretly nervous.

It wasn't until it was time to light the lamps that a cashier came back with a booklet and said, "My lord, now there are 1 taels of gold in the library and 18 taels of cash..."

After listening to the inventories of several warehouses, Jia She said coolly: "Second brother, since Lian'er's mother passed away, this mansion has been handed over to you two. Now let's see how well you two are doing." Home. Let’s not mention the gold and silver and valuable treasures and jades in the warehouse, antique calligraphy and paintings, and almost half of the gold and silver objects are gone. Just say that there are seven items missing from the royal gifts! This is to kill Hefu. ah."

Looking at Jia Zheng's pale face, Jia Amnesty continued: "Don't forget, people only see a jade Ruyi made inside, and they can find out that it is our lost imperial gift. If the old sage didn't care about the old love , I’m afraid that our brother’s life is long gone. Now that your housekeeper has lost seven imperial gifts, you have something to say! It’s better for me to go straight to the book and plead guilty to the saint, and our family will wait for the punishment of the saint.”

Jia Zheng and his wife had already been covered in cold sweat by Jia Amnesty's words. Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Brother Mingjian, younger brother has always been impatient with vulgar things. Everything is in charge of Wang." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted to Mrs. Wang: "Wang Sir, it is in vain that the old lady and I trust you so much. Now you have caused this catastrophe of beheading. Now I have to divorce you!"

Mrs. Wang was angry and anxious there, obviously she sent all the things with the imprint back to the warehouse overnight yesterday.Why is there so much less.Yes, those slaves must have been greedy.So he hurriedly said: "How can the master be so heartless? Although I am a housekeeper, I only look at the account books and take care of the servants. This warehouse has always been managed by the accountant and the stewards. It must be that these servants are greedy for ink."

Mrs. Wang said these words with more confidence, and those things with imprints were returned last night.Although I am very reluctant to give up, but life is at stake, and now I can't take care of it.

"Since the second daughter-in-law said that the things were stolen by slaves, let's take them all and search them. Let's see how much we can get back." Jia Amnesty interjected, seeing that Jia Zheng still wanted to speak, he said: "Today If we don’t raid the servant’s house, tomorrow it will be the Holy Majesty’s turn to raid our house. If you have any other way, you can do it. Just think about the life of the family before doing anything.” After hearing this, Jia The politicians were silent.

Jia Amnesty didn't care about it either, and took those healthy servants to the account room, as well as Jia Lian and his wife, locked the warehouse and turned back to the East Courtyard with the account books.Seeing that everyone had left, Jia Zheng and his wife immediately went to Rongqingtang.

After listening to the younger son's words, Jia's mother knew that the boss was determined to do something.Because of the holy decree, he is absolutely unstoppable.What's more, if those imperial gifts are not retrieved, Hefu's life will be gone.So I didn't say much, I just asked the couple to go back to their own yard first, and said: "Tomorrow, I will also take a look in each room, for fear that there will be some unmarked things placed by mistake."

Mrs. Wang knew it was Baoyu's room.There is really such a possibility, and now I only have this one to rely on, isn't it true that I give all the good things to my son.Immediately, I asked Zhou Rui's family to take a look, but after looking around, I found no one, only to realize that Zhou Rui's family hadn't been seen for a day.I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid the Elder Master has already done it yesterday.Startled at the moment, he immediately discussed with Jia Zheng.

"You mean, brother did it yesterday?" Jia Zheng was also surprised. "I think so," Mrs. Wang said, "we didn't pay attention after being busy all day today, but now I don't think the big and small stewards who came to the Mansion have not shown their faces all day. Especially today when they open the treasury to check the accounts, Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng didn't show up. Even the lady in charge of their family didn't see her today."

"It seems that the majesty has just issued the imperial decree, and the elder has acted. Why is it so fast? Could it be that there has been preparations over there?" Mrs. Wang said while thinking, "That jade ruyi is from the yamen in Zhou Rui. It was found in the son-in-law's shop. Master, do you think it was the master who made the first move? Or how well prepared it is."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng felt that it made sense.But when I think about it again, I feel wrong. No matter how dissatisfied my eldest brother is with his husband and wife, he can't make a fuss about this terrible thing.It's a bad one that really kills your head.So he said: "It should not be the eldest brother, this is really a crime of beheading. The eldest brother will not take this risk." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang also felt that this was too risky, not like what the old man would do.Still wondering if it was a coincidence?

The couple in the second room thought about it and did not mention it. Jia Lian and his wife in the first room almost vomited blood after reading the account books.When Jia Lian's biological mother Zhang was the housekeeper, there were only 3 taels of gold and 40 taels of silver in the warehouse.It has only been less than 20 years now, and the warehouses accumulated by generations of Rongguo Mansion have almost been emptied.This really does not leave a way for Dafang to survive.

Mrs. Xing was also aggrieved, and wanted to say that she had always said that she was not in a small family and was not called a housekeeper.It's a good thing now, this house is almost hollowed out.But looking at Jia Amnesty, although he didn't show any anger, he just sat there with a sullen face.Her intuition told her that it was better not to speak now.

Sure enough, after a while, Jia Amnesty said, "Did Lian'er meet the Zhang family recently?" Jia Lian was startled at first, and then said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the master. I just heard that grandpa and uncle's family have returned to Beijing." , went to visit once."

"Well, it's fine to pay a visit." Jia She said thoughtfully, "Since you have your uncle to help, then follow what your uncle said."

Jia Lian quickly and honestly said: "Uncle also said that he should take this opportunity to pay back the silver owed to the court. He only said that he would not pay the money directly, but told him to sell the things that were not copied this time and find other things. Get it together and pay it back." Jia Amnesty didn't say much after hearing this.

On the second day, Jia Lian got up early and went out to work.Only Jia She and his wife took Wang Xifeng to Rongqingtang.

Jia Mu is at the top, knowing that the Lai family and those big managers will not be able to keep this time.I can't open my mouth when I only think about the imperial decree.I can only secretly hate those big-hearted slaves for being too greedy.Jia Zheng and his wife also sat there not knowing what to say.

It was Jia She who said, "Old lady, I took stock of the treasury yesterday. The second son and his wife have been in charge of the family for more than [-] years, and the treasury has been more than half empty. Seven of the royal gifts were lost, and the second son's family said yes." The slaves are all greedy. Lian'er has gone to those slaves' homes to look for it."
