Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Here in Jinling, Jia Rong can be said to have governed the Jia clan submissively, and she dared not refute at all what he said.It can be said that this year, except for Jia Rong, no one in the Jia family has been able to live well?Although the people in power did not have a good year.But the poor people below have had a really good year this year.

After all, Jia Rong had distributed the food, money, cloth and other things obtained from the confiscation of Qifang and Bafang to the tribe, except for some large denominations of cash and Zhuangzi's shop.

Therefore, although the spirits of the clansmen were frightened a lot in the past, the material compensation was very rich.It's enough to give them a good year.

no matter where.Benefits are always the most comforting.

And Jia Rong knew this very well, so after confiscating the property of Qifang and Bafang, Wuya and Zhiqiu looked at him with some puzzlement.Take out one-third of the family property and distribute it to the poor clansmen.

This year, because Jia Rong confiscated the properties of Qifang and Bafang, he also confiscated many slaves who were in Jinling and who were in the name of the Jia family and who were domineering.In addition, Jia Zhen Wenxiang didn't come to share the profits, so Jia Rong's private purse was really richer.

After listening to Wu Ya's report, Jia Rong smiled coldly and said, "This Zhou Rui is a smart person. It's just a pity, not only did he follow the wrong master, but his intentions are not right."

Wu Ya was a little puzzled and asked: "Master, do you want your subordinates to send someone to deal with him?"

Jia Rong waved her hand, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she said with a bit of coldness: "No need. I was worried about how to send the news to Mother Jia. He is willing to do errands himself. Yes, just help him." I'm just afraid that Mother Jia will have a hard time after hearing the news.

Among the servants of Rongguo Mansion, apart from Lai Da's family, Mrs. Wang's housemate, Zhou Rui, is very powerful.I don't know how many secret things I have done for Mrs. Wang, and I can't clean my hands.But if he didn't mess with him, he could just ignore him.But if he dared to use his brains on his own head, then he didn't need to rush to deal with him at this moment, there were plenty of opportunities.

This Zhou Rui, who can stand out from Mrs. Wang's house servants, is really quite clever.He was ordered by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to come to Jinling with himself.But the difference is that he took the water route, and it took him more than a month to come to Jinling.But Zhou Rui was on the fast track, coming here day and night.Arrived here in Jinling more than 20 days earlier than myself.

When he arrived, Zhou Rui had already returned to the capital two days earlier.

Of course, this is just an appearance.According to his report on the nails that had already been buried in Jinling.This week, Rui he made the appearance that he returned to the capital immediately after he dealt with the matter.But in fact, he brought two young servants to lurk in Jinling City, watching the development of the matter quietly.Even in order to prevent himself from being implicated, not only did he not tell Master Jia Qitai and Jia Batai, even Jin Ming Jincai did not tell.

As expected, it was grown by Wang Ziteng's side, and it is really capable.If it wasn't for the lack of power in his hands, he really wanted to deal with the most capable talent among the current four major families, and see what kind of prospect he is?

Jia Rong didn't know what she thought of, and said again: "Let someone pass the word, and let him watch Rongguo Mansion's every move happily. If there is any trouble, come and report it immediately." After a pause, he continued. : "Also send a message to Brother Qiang and Aunt Pei, and let them take care of father. If necessary, let him rest in bed for a few more days, it may not be impossible."

"Yes, master." Wu Ya replied, and was about to go outside.

"Wait. Let people pay more attention to Jia Lian's movement." Jia Rong said again.

Wu Ya immediately responded.

After Wuya left, Jia Rong played with the wishful and auspicious jade pendant in her hand, and then said softly again: "Jia Lian, you must not let me down..."

Everything was just as Jia Rong had imagined, whether it was Mrs. Wang, Jia Mu, or Jia Lian, after hearing what was going on in Jinling, they all felt bad.

Zhou Rui became alert when he heard that Jia Rong was entertaining members of the Jia family, and the next day he heard about what happened in the Jia family's ancestral house.Zhou Rui trembled immediately, not daring to delay at all, and immediately asked someone to pack his bags. On the day of the first day of the new year, he rushed back to the capital. It took nearly 20 days to arrive by riding a fast horse. The itinerary forced Zhou Rui to change seven or eight fast horses along the way within fifteen days without stopping, and finally arrived in the capital on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Before he even had time to change his clothes, Zhou Rui went directly to Mrs. Wang's yard.

As a useful big girl in front of Mrs. Wang, Jin Chuan has served in front of Mrs. Wang since she was seven years old. It only took her five years to become a big girl from a sweeping girl.Zhou Rui is the one who knows how to read people's faces the most. Seeing that Zhou Rui's overall expression is not good, and he looks like a busy person. In addition, she also knows that Zhou Rui was ordered by Mrs. Wang some time ago to go to Jinling to do business .Seeing Zhou Rui like this now, he knew that Zhou Rui had something important to report.Immediately, Zhou Rui was welcomed into the room where Mrs. Wang was usually summoned to accompany the housekeeper, and she herself hurriedly walked to the inner room to report to Mrs. Wang.

"What kind of accident happened to make you rush?" Mrs. Wang is quite satisfied with Jin Chuan, a girl. Although she is not very old, she is smart and has a wink, and what she does is very good for her. In his heart, seeing her hurrying footsteps, he immediately asked.

Jin Chuan stabilized his slightly hasty mind, and Fushen replied: "If you go back to your wife, Zhou Rui is back. Now I'm waiting in the side room for an answer."

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard Jin Chuan's words, then frowned and said, "Okay. I see. Wait for me to change my clothes."

Jin Chuan nodded immediately, responded crisply, and then directed the little maid to help Mrs. Wang change her clothes.

Mrs. Wang is not surprised by Zhou Rui's return. After all, it has been nearly three months since Zhou Rui went to Jinling in October last year. Counting the time, it is time to come back.But thinking about the two letters sent back by Zhou Rui, they both said that Jia Rong did not do anything and was just cleaning up in the ancestral house.Her heart, which had been hanging around from Jiarong to Jinling, finally relaxed a little.

"I've met Mrs. Wang, please greet Mrs. Wang!" Zhou Rui immediately saluted Mrs. Wang when he saw Mrs. Wang.

Seeing Zhou Rui's appearance, Mrs. Wang immediately frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a mess?"

Zhou Rui hurried back, not daring to rest for a moment, and came to Beijing. Naturally, there was nowhere to go with his attire.Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were wrinkled, and her face looked tired.The whole person seems to be five or six years old.

Zhou Rui replied: "If you go back to your wife, I'm afraid it will be bad in Jinling."

When Mrs. Wang heard what Zhou Rui said, her face was shocked immediately, and she didn't care about Zhou Rui, and asked repeatedly: "What happened? Didn't you say that Brother Rong didn't do anything when he got there?"

Ever since Brother Rong boarded the boat to Jinling, her mood has been restless, especially after the news that Lai Shangrong's head was sent back to Lai Da by someone, her heart was even more disturbed hanging.Although she didn't have any evidence and knew that the time before and after this would not be close, she somehow felt that Lai Shangrong's death had something to do with Brother Rong.It can't be said that it's like what Lai Da said, even if Brother Rong was killed by someone.

But when Zhou Rui arrived in Jinling, two letters came one after another.It was only said that after Brother Rong arrived in Jinling, he didn't do anything. He just cleaned up in the ancestral house and prepared for the ten-year life sacrifice. She slowly let go of her heart.

But seeing Zhou Rui like this now, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she felt a little uncomfortable intuitively.

"Returning to my wife, all of this is just an illusion. Brother Rong really did nothing during the first two months in Jinling. But on New Year's Eve, Brother Rong suddenly launched an attack, which not only made People tied up Jin Ming and Jin Cai, and the whole family, regardless of age, men and women, were all beaten to death. Even the seventh and eighth masters also suffered. The two families, regardless of their relatives or distance, were all... Except for the genealogy, Clan by clan." Zhou Rui's tone was trembling when he said this.Although he didn't have a personal scene, what he heard was enough to make him tremble.

"What did you say?" Upon hearing Zhou Rui's words, Mrs. Wang stood up in horror and exclaimed.

Zhou Rui knelt down, and immediately repeated what he said just now, paused for a moment, and then continued: "I heard that the ground in this ancestral house has been dyed red, the cleaning lady, rinse It doesn’t go away even if you rinse it off.”

Hearing Zhou Rui's words, there was darkness in front of her eyes. If Jin Chuan hadn't helped Mrs. Wang in time, she would have almost passed out.In the end, it was Jin Chuan who took the Qingxin Pill, and served Mrs. Wang to take a pill. After a while, Mrs. Wang slowly regained her composure and asked in a trembling voice: "Zhou Rui, they have...already... All... dead?"

No way?After seeing Brother Rong's ruthless heart, she would never doubt it.Just like when he dealt with Lai Er's family back then, although it was true that Lai Er was Nanny Lai's son, the identity of their family was held by the Ningguo Mansion and killed them. It's a big slap in the face of the old lady, but in the final analysis, it's her business.Even if you are angry, you can't do it.

But this time it was different, both Jin Ming and Jincai were companions of the old lady, so the whole family's deeds were naturally held in the hands of the old lady, it could be said that they were the property of the old lady's private house.Now Brother Rong dared to kill them without saying a word.

This is not just a matter of face.The old lady is Brother Rong's elder, even though he has a great reason for letting him go, I am afraid that Brother Rong will not be able to please him this time.

Having figured this out, Mrs. Wang was still a little panicked, but she gradually calmed down. After a while, she gathered the tin flowers in her bun and said to Zhou Rui: "Go, follow me See the old lady." After a slight pause, he said again: "You know how to reply, right?"

Zhou Rui immediately replied: "Madam, don't worry, I will save it."

"Well, that's fine. Let's go." Mrs. Wang straightened her clothes and walked out.
