The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

Chapter 15 The Lin Family Wealth

For Jia Jing's birthday, the whole Rongguo Mansion didn't go, because Jia She yelled about the Lin family's million-dollar property, and they had to sit together to find a solution.

Jia Lian was the first to be questioned.Fortunately, before Ning Shan asked him to register the Lin family's property register, he dawdled for a long time and at least wrote most of them. These alone are worth millions, and the rest can only be counted as small fish and shrimps. I really can't remember.

Jia Lian took out the brochure and explained clearly the whereabouts of the Lin family's property, and finally said that it was all handed over to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.Naturally, the two of them didn't intend to admit it, but grabbed Jia Lian, saying that he was greedy for ink and should hand it over.Although the little Jia Wang family knew that Jia Lian was entrusted by Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to gather up the property of the Lin family, they didn't know the exact amount was so large.She has always regarded herself as the wealthy Jinling royal family, and her favorite thing to say is "Sweeping the cracks in our royal family will be enough for your Jia family to live for the rest of your life." Now it is unexpected to hear that the impoverished Lin family she thought had two to three million yuan The extravagant wealth, and this money, Jia Lian actually gave it to the second room in such a foolish way? !

At this time, Xiao Jia Wang suddenly felt that she seemed to be deceived, and the person who deceived her was her aunt whom she had always trusted.She stared blankly at Da Jia Wang's family in a trance, her mind was full of turmoil, and she didn't know how many thoughts she turned, and finally it all came down to the two, three million and four glittering big characters.

To be honest, Jia Lian didn't take the bulk of the money, but if he took it, he must have spent a lot of it because of his temper. The tens of thousands of taels returned to Lin's cousin by his sister Yingchun belonged to him. The private house, and some banknotes from Ning Shan are all to make up for what he wasted. Even so, the stack of banknotes is also of different sizes, and you can tell that the person who sent them is guilty of conscience. of.

The elder and younger Jia and Wang started a war, throwing blame at each other. Jia She leaned on the eldest son and watched it very lively. If Ning Shan hadn't been leaning on his waist, she might have interjected into it; Weeping, Yingchun was in charge of persuading her, Tanchun was dumbfounded when he heard it, Xichun was even more so, but the girl from the royal merchant Xue's family looked calm, but the handkerchief in her hand was twisted badly.

Jia Shishi only thought that her eldest son was a debt collector, every time he saw Jia Amnesty, it would be a bad thing, and now it has come true, and made him quarrel about the property of the Lin family.She has always raised Lin Daiyu, and never taught her to be a housekeeper, just to make her confused about money. Finally, this arrangement came in handy, but it was disturbed by Jia Shen's words.Jia Shishi hated him so much that he could only wish to go back to the time when he was born and strangle him to death.

Jia Zheng stretched his long face and said nothing. He just sat and watched his wife and nephew tearing each other apart. He made up his mind to pretend that he didn't know. The nose said: "Usually I always hear people say how promising you are, compared with how rich I am, but my richness is just a disaster for my own family. It's better for you to plot against the orphan niece Lin, the second master and the second wife together with your pious daughter-in-law." , Weiweihehe is a pair, the man is upright and upright, and the woman has a bodhisattva heart, they really match each other!"

Jia Zheng's white face turned red, and Jia Shi, who couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at Jia Amnesty and scolded: "You are the brother who is like this, splashing dirty water on the head of your own brother. Lian'er will follow you too." If you don’t learn well, lies will be spread to the sky. He said that all the properties of the Lin family have been handed over to the second room. Who will believe this? You must be ignorant. No wonder you clamored to move out as soon as Yu’er came back. You said, you Did he move all the money out and swallow it?" Jia Amnesty's face turned redder than Jia Zheng's, and he pointed at Jia Shishi with a trembling hand, speechless for a long time.He knew early in the morning that he would not be loved by his old lady, but he never thought that in order to protect her beloved son, the old lady would force him to death.

Even though Jia Amnesty didn't expect Jia Shishi's love for a long time ago, he still couldn't bear such a big blow. The debt of two or three million yuan was all on him. How could he still live?This is to force him to death to put Erfang in peace!Jia She was about to burst into tears. If he hadn't held on to the last bit of dignity, he really wanted to cry, even if he lost face in front of his eldest son again.

Seeing this scene today, Ning Shan finally understood Jia She's position in Rongguo Mansion, how can it be described as bitter.It is true that Jia She is not a good person, but he is not bad either. Although he doesn't care about other children, he has nothing to pick on him. He is willing to obey him and help him make connections, and he is better at doing things than before. She knows a lot of laws and regulations, so she won't get into trouble easily. Ning Shan doesn't have high requirements for her silly father, and now this is beyond imagination.The silly father is his father, how can he tolerate such bullying?

At that moment, Ning Shan got up with a sullen face, pulled Jia Amnesty behind her, and said: "No one can explain all kinds of things here. As for the whereabouts of the money, why don't you let the Ministry of Households look for it? Since Mrs. Jia said that father Hide all the money in my house, and I will let the household department search for it, and at the same time, I will report this matter to the emperor in full, respectfully requesting the imperial court."

"No." Jia Shishi yelled abruptly: "The whole family is flesh and blood, there is no need to drag it outside to embarrass yourself."

Ning Shan replied proudly: "My surname is Ning, and I am Ning Shan, Marquis of Zhenbei. What is the relationship with Rongguo Mansion?" He also only recognizes the room of his stupid father, and other idlers should not come here. "The old matriarch just opened his mouth and falsely accused the Lin family's property of hiding in my house. Why should I seek my innocence?"

Jia Shishi was annoyed to death by this grandson who was against her again and again. Fortunately, he gave it away back then. If he had stayed under his nose, he would have pissed her off. "Since Lord Hou thinks he has nothing to do with the Jia family, then this matter is a family matter. Please don't interfere with Master Hou."

Jia Amnesty went back and said, "If the family's wealth has to be handed over to the state treasury, how can it become a family affair?" He gave up on Jia Shishi, and from then on he focused on living with his eldest son. He didn't want this Rongguo Mansion, not that they didn't want him.

Jia Shishi slammed a teacup: "Is it useless for me to talk?" Jia She has always been foolish and filial, and he is most afraid of her anger. Every time Jia Shishi is unreasonable, he will use this hand to deal with him. , but unexpectedly failed today.

Jia Amnesty burst into tears and shouted to the back: "Second girl, bring Lin girl out, let's go back to the mansion, don't be framed here for nothing." Then he turned to Jia Lian: "You are also the third prize now. The eligibility memorial is over, according to what your eldest brother said, write everything clearly, and leave it to the emperor to judge."

Yingchun panicked from behind and shouted: "Sister Lin has passed out, what can I do? Please call the imperial physician!" Jia Shishi heard that the most important person involved in the case had passed out, so he hurriedly walked to the back to have a look. Seeing Lin Daiyu's pale, bloodless face covered with tears, leaning between the maid and Jia Tanchun, unconscious.

Before the matter of the Lin family's property is clarified, Lin Daiyu must not have an accident, otherwise they would have ignored it, and now they will be suspected of murder.Jia Shishi originally had some genuine love for Lin Shi, but this love was nothing compared to her own glory and wealth. Seeing Lin Shi crying pitifully now, she didn't look like she was in collusion with Dafang's family. Suspicion also disappeared a little bit, and ordered her post to go to the Tai Hospital to invite Doctor Wang to come over.As for the outside, she is no longer in charge, who else can hold Jia Amnesty down, one mouth is more than enough for the couple in the second room, after scolding the two of them, Aojiao turned around and left with the eldest son, and even foolishly The second son with a strong accent is also taken away, but he can't be allowed to go back and brainwash Xiao Jia Wang, lest he become someone else's scapegoat in a daze.

When Ning Shan returned home, she wrote ten thousand words and finished it in one go. Together with Jia Lian's notes, they handed them to Chaoshang early the next morning.The new emperor didn't like him, so he deliberately didn't read his papers first, but the Supreme Emperor interfered behind him, and most of the papers were to be sent to Daming Palace, and there were not many left in his Qianqing Palace. Even if it is delayed, it can be found in a day.

The poor and insane new emperor was furious when he saw Ning Shan's memorial. He lived frugally on his side, and there were cronies of the Supreme Emperor withholding money that should be handed over to the treasury. It was Hong Guoguo's provocation to him.No matter how restricted he was by the Supreme Emperor, he still had some rights, so he immediately approved the memorial and ordered people to go to the Ning family and the Rongguo mansion to thoroughly investigate the Lin family's property.

It is conceivable that nothing of value can be found in the Ningshan mansion, and even if there are some, they can be registered in the account books of the family for more than ten years, not to mention that the entire family property of the Ning family includes the house deed, land deed and shops outside. Far less than the rumored Lin family's millions of assets.

Ning Shan didn't make a mistake here, so the one with the problem was naturally the Rongguo Mansion.Ning Shan moved so fast that Jia Wang didn't have time to pack up and move to other places. The people in the household department searched them out one by one. It's just that the antique ornaments, gold and silver utensils are easy to compare, but the bank notes can't be checked one by one. The Jia Wang family has been in charge of the Jia family's internal affairs for decades, and they have a large amount of banknotes and cash on hand, and they are also well-known teachers. , antiques, furnishings, gold, silver and jewellery, etc. were all moved away, and at least half a million taels were exchanged, which can also be regarded as the ultimate wealth that the Lin family should hand over.As for the dowry of the five generations of mistresses of the Lin family that Lin should keep, all of them fell into the hands of others. They were either confiscated by the household department or held in the hands of Jia Wang. It is unknown whether they will be returned to her in the future.

Jia She made a fuss, in addition to announcing the Lin family's property in the open, it also ruined Erfang's reputation for integrity.No one believed Jia Zheng's statement that he "ignored family affairs and knew nothing about what his wife was doing."People these days believe in teaching their sons in front of the hall and teaching their wives by their pillows. Everyone thinks that the Jia Wang family dared to withhold other people's property, and even the money that should be put into the treasury for corruption was instigated by Jia Zheng, and even he did it himself.Jia Zheng's reputation as an official, who was not very good at first, was completely defeated. The new emperor dismissed him from office in a rage, and punished him not to re-enter the official career.As for the vacated position of a fifth-rank member, Wailang, it is natural to promote capable people. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Even if the new emperor does not have many people, he can still find a few. It's not easy to make peace with one's own people. If Jia Zheng hadn't been shaved off this time, he doesn't know when he will have to wait.At the same time, it also made the new emperor miss the Lin family in the Rongguo Mansion even more. He made up his mind to accept her into the palace in the general election three years later, so as to hold all the remaining property of the Lin family in his hands. .Now the annual tax revenue of the national treasury is only 8000 million taels, and it is urgent for the Supreme Emperor to replenish the private treasury first. The treasury silver he can use is only tens of millions of taels, including what he saved when he was still the fourth prince.Lin's dowry can cover one-fifth of it, which makes the poor and crazy new emperor not coveted.At the same time, when the confidants of the household department went to search the Ning Mansion again, they also reported the estimated amount of the Ning Mansion's property, which was about one million taels. If Ning Shan really treated his concubine sister, she would have to give her a dowry of 20 to [-] in the future. For ordinary officials and eunuchs, it is a lifetime expense, as long as the new emperor has money, he will not be too little, and even more and more, he is also thinking about Yingchun.

Perhaps Jia Zheng was punished this time, but the new emperor did not punish Jia Yuanchun in the harem again. Her title of nobleman was retained, but she was not as embarrassing as a female official.The father in the family was raped for nothing, and the mother was a crime, and she just redeemed it with money. How can she, a noble person, save her relatives?There was nothing but shame, but under the imperial edict, she couldn't resist it. Jia Yuanchun was ashamed and angry, hiding in the palace and crying secretly for countless times, but there was nothing he could do.
