Jia Min's Counterattack

Yuan Shiwu reported the results of the interrogation just now to Lin Ruhai and his son, completely ignoring the angry and unwilling eyes of Zhen Yingjia and his wife.

Speaking of it, the Zhen family was really wronged, because the masters of their family were completely unaware of this matter. Even if Zhen Yingjia hated the Lin family now, she would not dare to do anything to the Lin family, let alone at her own banquet. Zhen Yingjia is not that stupid.Although Zhen Yingjia is cunning, she has a clumsy but ignorant wife. Zhen Han has controlled the Zhen family's back house for decades, and managed the Zhen family like a sieve. Today's affairs are all managed by the Zhen family. caused by negligence.

It turned out that there were three people kneeling on the ground, one was the manager of the Zhen family who was in charge of purchasing, the other was the kitchen helper, and the third was a second-class maid in the front yard.The manager in charge of the purchase was bribed by someone else, took the highly poisonous crane crest red into the mansion, and then used money to buy a helper who had been friends with him on weekdays, and the helper poured the poison into a bowl of shark fin soup, and bribed the former The maid in the courtyard brought the poisoned bowl of shark fin soup to Lin Lang.For a poisoning case, outsiders only need to find someone who has some dignity in the Zhen family, and the people behind him don't need to worry about the rest.It was only at this time that Zhen Yingjia realized how messy her house was, and the servants could buy it for a few taels of silver. This time, they gave the poison to Lin Lang, and someone would give him the poison at some point.

It can be said that Zhen Yingjia's anger is more about the fear of his own family safety. In fact, in his heart, he also wants the Lin family to be the last one, because he has heard some news about the Lin family's wealth over the years. Very coveted, plus Jia Min's Xiangyun Silk and Satin Village and the glass workshop run by the Lin family and the emperor, Zhen Yingjia has long wanted to keep it for himself.What's more, Lin Ruhai's influence in Jiangnan is gradually growing, and has already surpassed the Zhen family. Zhen Yingjia has been the emperor of Jiangnan for many years, how can he be willing to be trampled under by Lin Ruhai?But now that the Lin family has taken root deeply in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not so easy to deal with the Lin family. If you want to destroy the Lin family and win the Lin family's property, you must first cut off the incense of the Lin family.Lin Lang, as the eldest son of the Lin family, will be the first to be the best target to deal with the Lin family, followed by Jia Min and Lin Ruhai. Lin Yu's special status can only be dealt with last.

However, no matter how much Zhen Yingjia hoped that the Lin family would die, she would not be so stupid as to let anyone in the Lin family have an accident in the Zhen family. The Zhen family's reputation has been completely ruined after being hit again and again in those years.This time, Zhen Yingjia held a banquet just in time for the Chinese New Year, in order to re-establish a good image in front of people, and let others see a brand new Zhen family who "regards rules and understands etiquette".Now it seems that not only failed to achieve the original purpose, but also worsened the Zhen family's reputation.Regardless of whether the Zhen family is related to the poisoning case or not, the chaos in the back of the Zhen family is a sure thing. This has nothing to do with "respecting rules and understanding etiquette". In a few days, the Zhen family will become the people of Jinling City again. How can they not make Zhen Yingjia's teeth itch with hatred?

Lin Ruhai didn't have the mood to think about Zhen Yingjia's mood at this time, he glanced coldly at the three people kneeling on the ground and said, "You should be very clear that if you are caught today, you will be killed, but if you confess The mastermind behind the scenes, I can spare your family members, maybe you have some evidence in your hands that can correct the mastermind behind the scenes, maybe you can save your life because of this."

"Master Hou! Master Hou! I have evidence, I have evidence!" the kitchen helper said as soon as Lin Ruhai finished speaking.

"Tell me, what kind of evidence is it?"

"The 100 taels of silver note that the servant got is unique to the Xue family, with the Xue family's mark on it!"

"Oh? How do you know this?" Lin Ruhai squinted at the cook and asked.

"The maidservant's daughter is married to the son of a shopkeeper of the Xue family. The maidservant heard from her daughter that the Xue family's business is really too much. There is a mark printed on the bank note, and only the Xue family can recognize this mark."

"Where is the banknote now?"

"These few days have caught up with the Chinese New Year, and the servants have hidden the silver notes at home before they have time to exchange them!"

"General Yuan, you send someone to follow her back and get the bank notes!" Lin Ruhai instructed Yuan Shiwu.

Yuan Shiwu assigned two personal soldiers to escort the cook away, and Lin Ruhai shifted his gaze to the manager in charge of purchasing.

"You have been in direct contact with the person who bought you. I don't believe that you don't know who is behind the scenes. I will give you a quarter of an hour to think about it. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. You want Knowing that the crime you have committed will destroy the entire family!"

Lin Ruhai's words made the steward shudder uncontrollably. He raised his eyes and took a peek at Zhen Yingjia. Seeing Zhen Yingjia glaring at him angrily, he couldn't help feeling guilty, wondering if his master knew about this matter.The steward frowned and hesitated. Although he took the money, he thought he was loyal to Zhen Yingjia. Although the person who bought him was not Zhen Yingjia, he had a lot to do with Zhen Yingjia.If he confessed that person just like that, would he implicate his master?But Lin Ruhai also explained just now that if he kills him, his whole family will be killed by him, his daughter-in-law is still pregnant, and his youngest daughter has not yet married, how can he bear it? To see them die because of him?

"The time is up! General Yuan..."

"I said! I said! Don't hurt my family!" The steward finally chose to keep his family's name.

"Then hurry up! I don't have so much time to spend here with you!" Lin Ruhai sternly said.

"Yes yes yes! On the 28th year of the year, Aunt Miao's personal servant girl found the slave, and gave the slave 500 taels of silver notes and a small packet of medicine to the slave, telling the slave to give the medicine to the Lin family. At that time, the slave thought that 500 taels Buying two for Uncle Lin’s life is a bit too little, so let her take another 500 taels. At that time, Aunt Miao’s maid said she would go back and ask their master, but the maid found the servant again the day before yesterday and gave him a set of red gold headgear , that set of jewelry was given to Aunt Miao by the master after she entered the mansion, and now the set of headgear is in the servant's house, it was originally intended to be used as a dowry for the little girl, so it is stored in the storeroom at home."
