17. Lai's ambition

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Jia Daishan took a sip of tea and asked, "When and how did you change your posthumous book?" โ€

Jia Yu was silent and honestly confessed: "I have already written the fake posthumous book and handed it to Lai Da." But Lai Da didn't know where the real copy was, and he never found a chance to change it. It wasn't until the old lady handed over the posthumous book to the second brother that Lai Da found an opportunity to start. But how he changed it, I don't know. โ€

Jia Daishan thought about it, and instructed Zheng Fu to take out the cloth stuffed in Lai Da's mouth, and asked Lai Da: "How did you change the posthumous copy?" โ€

Lai Da moved his chin and said, "Why don't you untie the rope on my body?" There are so many people here, are you still afraid that I won't be able to escape? โ€

Jia Daishan smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of you running." It's just that now that it's untied, I'll have to tie it up again after a while, it's too troublesome. He turned his head and asked Jia Zheng, "Zheng'er, do you know how he changed?" โ€

The red tide on Jia Zheng's face had receded and became a little pale, and he muttered: "Lai Da knocked me down in a panic, and the book fell to the ground, so he picked it up and gave it back to me...... It must have been changed at that time! โ€

Jia Daishan laughed sarcastically: "You are really capable." Such an important testament can be easily replaced! It's a good thing you didn't become an official. If he becomes an official, he will be a foolish official. Could it be that even the official seal will be stolen? โ€

Jia Zheng fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed, and said, "It's my son's incompetence!" The son was ashamed! โ€

Jia Daishan ignored him, turned his head and looked at Lai Da again: "Lai Da, looking at your appearance, you don't have any repentance at all?" โ€

Lai snorted: "Why should I repent? If I don't fight, will I wait for your bastard son to be swept away, and my family will suffer with him? When I went to the army with him, I wanted to fight for a career. But what about him? For the sake of the two fans, even the military salary and military rations dared to be greedy for ink and deduct, and almost led the soldiers to mutiny! He ruined his future, but the grandfather blamed us for not persuading him well and beating us up. Did the grandfather ask us if we were wronged? Your bastard son is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he can even do without his life for the sake of pleasure, which can we slaves persuade him? โ€

This is the resentment in his heart for many years, and he said it in one breath at this time, and he said it quite impassionedly.

Dai Shan calmed his face, listened quietly, and said lightly: "Okay, even if you can't persuade it, it's helpless." But are you dumb or lame? For so long, don't you know to pass the message to me? You helped that bastard hide it, but you were afraid that you would offend the future head of Rongguo Mansion, and you would not be taken seriously in the mansion in the future and would not be able to reap benefits, right? He smiled coldly and continued, "Don't be so impassioned, as if you have been wronged. โ€

Lai Da also smiled coldly: "If I dare to secretly send a message to the master, how can the master spare me?" You old men and young masters, you only know how to play prestige and make temperament, where do you know the hardships of being a slave? You, a father, are afraid that you don't know what kind of virtue your son โ–กโ–ก? โ€

"You're justified in every way!" Dai Shan smiled sarcastically, and said, "Is it that since then, you have hated the Jia family and me deeply?" โ€

Lai Da was silent, and after all, he didn't dare to admit that he hated Dai Shan and the Jia family. sighed and said, "I don't hate the master, and I don't hate the Jia family." No matter how bastard the eldest master is, he is also the son of the master, and it is natural for the master to protect him. What I really hate is my identity as a minion! โ€

Dai Shan said: "Since you hate your status as a slave, why don't you beg me to let you out?" Your father was the head of Rongguo Mansion before his death, and your mother was also a person who needed to be used by the old lady's side, for their sake, as long as your family came to ask for it, I would not allow it. Didn't your son Lai Shangrong be released as soon as he was born? Why don't you ask? โ€

Lai Da's expression changed, and he snorted coldly: "If I ask for it, you will let it go?" โ€

"You have to give it a try, right?" Dai Shan said lightly, "If you don't try, you are actually reluctant to be a slave in Rongguo Mansion." Isn't it? โ€

Lai was speechless when he was a freshman.

"Although I govern the army strictly, I govern the family widely. The housekeeper with a little face at home is much more comfortable than the flat-headed people outside! You don't want to suffer the pain of being a slave, but you also want to take advantage of the benefits of being a slave in the Jia family, being so greedy and lacking is not the reason to be a human being! โ€

Lai Da looked at Dai Shan, thought for a while, suddenly took a deep breath, held his head high and said, "Master, the matter has come to this point." I won't say anything superfluous. If the grandfather wants to get back the real book, he will let my whole family out of the country and reward me with 50,000 taels of silver. If my grandfather doesn't follow me, my younger brother will take the testament and go to the government to surrender. Although the Jia family is powerful, this 'crime of bullying the king' may be affordable? Even if the prince has a strong holy family, the emperor is generous and does not pursue it, with this reputation of disloyalty and filial piety, do future generations still want to have a future? โ€

"Why do you think I'm going to be threatened by you?" Dai Shan's expression was still faint, as if he was not being coerced, but gossiping with others.

Lai Da's expression was a little uneasy, but he said stiffly: "Although I don't read much, I have also heard the words 'rat thrower'. Our family is a rat in the gutter, and it is not a pity to die. Isn't the reputation of this Rongguo Mansion and the entire Jia family, and the future of future generations, worth 50,000 taels of silver? โ€

"I just thought it was weird. Seeing that the fake posthumous book happened, you didn't run away, but only sent your family away. It turns out that I want to make a windfall! Dai Shan smiled, "What an outlaw!" โ€

Lai Da laughed at him so much that he said fiercely: "There is no need to say these gossips!" The grandfather only said: Do you allow me? โ€

Dai Shan said: "I have also heard the words 'rat thrower'. But I know very well that when rats are harmed, they will not care if the jade bottle falls or not. As a result of the rat trap, there must be more rats. If I am threatened by you today, and you can take what you want, I am afraid that the servants of Rongguo Mansion will have to do the same. At that time, what kind of gas did the Jia family have? Future generations, there is no need to advance the word "journey". โ€

Lai Da's face changed greatly: "Master, you can think about it!" Do you want to ignore the future of future generations for the sake of gambling? โ€

Dai Shan smiled: "Isn't what you rely on the real testament?" โ€

He turned his head and instructed Zheng Fu: "Bring them all in!" โ€

Zheng Fu turned around and went out, and after a short time, he brought back a bunch of people who were still gagged like zongzi - it was the Lai family members who were sent away, such as Mama Lai, Lai Er, and Lai Shangrong. Compared to the usual situation in the house, these people are much haggard.

Dai Shan took out the real posthumous copy from the Lai family from his sleeve, and said coldly: "The real posthumous copy is already here with me." What else do you have to rely on? โ€

Lai Da's face was shocked, and it took a while before he said loudly: "Master, do you think that without this posthumous book, this matter can be concealed?" The master captured my family, how many people were sent, and there are so many people here. Can you guarantee that these people will not hear the slightest rumor, and can you guarantee that they will not pass on a word of gossip? As long as the slightest rumor spreads, Rongguo Mansion will be a crime on top of a crime! โ€

Dai Shan said: "Even if I gave you 50,000 taels of silver, this rumor will also spread, don't you know it?" Only if the Jia family is convicted, your 50,000 taels of silver can be used safely, isn't it? โ€

He waved his hand at Zheng Fu: "Take it down, look at it, don't let anyone die." โ€

Lai was shocked and roared: "Master, you actually ignored ...... for a mere 50,000 taels of silver" Before he finished speaking, he was gagged by Zheng Fu again.
