Lai's crying burst into tears, which made Jia's mother sad.

Yes, there have been several generations of old people, if it weren't for this, the Lai family was so rich, how could the Jia family not be suspicious? However, it is only that the Lai family has always been good at being a person, and they are low and small everywhere, so that the Jia family has no room for attack.

Besides, those who have a heart are not qualified to attack the Lai family, and those who are qualified, such as her, how can they put down their dignity to do such things?

"You guys, alas"

Many things, if not put on the table, are insignificant, and once they are put on the table, they will weigh more than a thousand gold.

Jia Baoyu insists on dealing with Lai Da, what should she do?

On one side is the son of an old sister with affection, and on the other side, he is his precious grandson.

If it was usual, she could persuade Jia Baoyu not to act so radically.

However, now that he is at his celebration banquet, he sacrifices his dignity and does not want to do this, can she give it to him?

Who cares about Jia Baoyu's decency?

The answer, in fact, is already obvious.

Mother Jia has a decision in her heart, it's a big deal, she comforts the old sister afterwards and gives some compensation.

This Baoyu has roasted me on the fire today.

Jia Baoyu said sharply: "Okay, you are a big man, if you have any grievances, you can tell the master, you can tell me, will we all wronged you?"

You actually persecuted the ancestors for this, who gave you the guts?! ”

Jia Baoyu first stopped Lai Da's words, and then said to Jia's mother: "The ancestor doesn't have to be difficult, just sit quietly for a while, let the grandson ask the matter clearly, and when the time comes, the ancestor may know how to decide." ”

Jia Mu sighed slightly: "Is it really excessive?" ”

Jia Mu is very transparent, just looking at Jia Baoyu's reaction, you can guess the points.

Jia Baoyu nodded and said: "It's shocking, if you follow the laws of the imperial court, when you have a thousand knives, you should be Ling Chi." ”

Jia Mu sighed and stopped talking.

The matter has come to this, Jia Baoyu has set up the stage, how can he stop without waiting for him to finish singing.

Jia Zhenyin listened to Jia Baoyu's words and said to Jia Zheng: "Brother Bao went down to the south, it was really different, he spoke with a murderous aura, and even I was a little scared when I heard it." ”

Jia Zheng didn't say anything.

After he came back, although he also felt that the cost of the garden was a little too much, he had a good face, and after reading the general accounts, there were in and out, and there were no mistakes or omissions, he put it down.

never thought that Jia Baoyu had already made arrangements

No wonder, this stinky boy said that he would be the master for me for a day, but it turned out that he thought Lao Tzu was not a proper housekeeper.

"Six hundred materials of high-grade nanmu, eight taels and four dollars of silver per material."

"A thousand materials of high-grade rosewood, four taels of silver per material."

"One hundred and eighty materials of high-grade rosewood, four taels and three dollars of silver per material."

"Three hundred and eighty square meters of high-grade flowers and rocks, two taels and seven dollars of silver per square."

"Two thousand square meters of high-grade bluestone, nine dollars of silver per square."

"A hundred square meters of fine marble, two taels of silver per square."

"One hundred and twenty square meters of high-grade white stone, five taels and four dollars of silver per side."

"One hundred thousand high-grade bricks, totaling six hundred and forty taels of silver."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand pieces of high-grade green tiles, a total of one thousand one hundred and forty-two taels of silver."

"The wages for stone cutting and carving are eight thousand six hundred taels."

"Five thousand four hundred and sixty-two taels for wood cutting and carving."

"The cost of laying bluestone is a thousand taels."

"The cost of laying the green bricks is 1,600 taels."

Jia Baoyu put down the accounts in his hand and said with a smile: "The above are the two main responsible purchases and payments of Mr. Lai and Mr. Wu. ”

"Ah, really, a silver tael?"

"Second Master Bao can't lie to us, right?"

Jia Baoyu's words made a noise suddenly sound below.

A little thief stepped forward and said: "Hui Bao Second Master, the little one is called Wang Qiang, my third uncle is working under the hands of Wood Li and Li Papi, Li Papi is a well-known timber merchant in the east of the city, so I know that the price of Nanmu is generally only three or four taels of silver, which is extremely high-quality, but only five or six taels, unless it is the best kind of golden silk nanmu, it is possible to exceed this price, Mr. Lai is obviously deliberately eating rebates at a high price, and he eats a lot!" ”

Jia Baoyu glanced at Lin Zhixiao, Lin Zhixiao nodded, indicating that this kid didn't talk nonsense, and Jia Baoyu said: "Mingyan, give silver." ”

"Second Master Xie Bao, Second Master Xie Bao, I still know"

The little servant Wang Qiang saw that he could really get a tael of silver so easily, and he kowtowed excitedly and howled.

How could he miss such an opportunity to make a fortune?

Anyway, these guys are going to be angry, and I'm not afraid of offending them.

"Alright, give the others some chances, you go down."

Jia Baoyu smiled and waved his hand to let the little guy who had benefited go down.

Wang Qiang suddenly looked like he had missed a million and retreated.

The others saw that this kid really got the benefit, and immediately fried the pot:

"I know, I know, I helped cut the stones in the garden, I have noticed, the marble used in the garden is mainly the emerald barrier, and there is no other place to use it, at most sixty or seventy square meters, not as much as the accounts report!"

"I know it too"

“”

After a while, more than a dozen people took the benefits and left.

"Manager Lai, Steward Wu, what else do you have to say?"

In fact, Jia Baoyu already knew in advance what the following people said, and the reason why he did this was just to let the masses have a sense of participation, lest he sing a one-man show.

Lai Dadao: "Second Master Bao, they are just for the second master's reward, falling into the well, and maliciously framing." And what they say is unfounded, and the things that the minions buy are all "

"I know, it's all high-quality materials, hired labor, and high-level craftsmen, it's a pity that the price is not bad, where do you buy things from, they don't keep secrets for you.

Lin Zhixiao, you can talk about it. ”

"Yes.

On March 15, Mr. Lai bought a batch of flower rocks from the eastern suburbs stone quarry, and each party was worth 127 yuan of silver.

On May 16, he bought a batch of 500 rosewood from Li Papi in the east of the city, and each material was only three taels of silver.

May 22,

”

Every time Lin Zhixiao said a word, Lai Da's face turned pale.

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "How about it, Manager Lai, do you want us to invite the Eastern Suburbs Stone Quarry, Li Papi and others to go to court to testify?"

But if that's the case, it may be a big risk for the manager.

If I remember well, those who unite with outsiders to steal and deceive the property of the master's family need to chop off their fingers, one or two pieces of silver, and twenty taels upwards, and be killed with a rod!

I just don't know, how many times should I be killed with the courage of the general manager? ”

Cold sweat came down from Lai's forehead.

It turned out that Jia Baoyu was not on the spur of the moment, but had been ready to move him for a long time. Otherwise, the evidence would never have been so abundant!

What to do now, the love split card can't be used, obviously Jia Baoyu is determined to get him.

Nonrecognition?

If you really want to go to court, Jia Baoyu is right, with his situation, the amount of property involved is so large that any one of them can't be hidden, it's enough to be killed!

In fact, there is no need to go to court, if Jia Baoyu really wants to execute him, the family can do it themselves

This is the reason why slaves do not fight with their masters.

"Second Master Bao spared his life, the slave deserved to die, it was really a moment of lard blindfolding, and he gave birth to greed, and I hope that Second Master Bao will look at the love of the master and servant and disturb the life of the slave."

Lai Da fell to the ground and asked for leniency.

Rongguo Mansion is the residence of the Duke of Guo, which needs reputation and face, and it is easy not to execute people.

"Huh."

Pleaded guilty?

As for what kind of such as lard blinding the heart, Jia Baoyu naturally didn't listen to it at all. You've been blinded for decades, and your heart is blind.

"Steward Lin, you have calculated before, in the construction of the garden, Manager Lai deceived the public in total, how much money was defrauded, report it, and see if Manager Lai recognizes it."

"Yes. According to the calculations of the minions, Mr. Lai was greedy for ink, false reports, and kickbacks in the garden, with an amount of at least 30,000 taels of silver! ”

"How much?"

This was not what Jia Baoyu asked, but it was Jia Zheng in the hall who stood up suddenly.

It's not that he doesn't know about the things that people get kickbacks for doing things, it's just that he thinks it's all small sections, and the emperor still says that he doesn't send hungry soldiers!

"The surname is Lin, don't spew blood, don't be a mouthful!"

Lai Da angrily reprimanded Lin Zhi's filial piety, but his expression was quite a bit lustful.

Lin Zhixiao knelt down to Jia Zheng: "Slaves don't dare to lie, 30,000 is more than that."

Every item, how much was used, and how much was taken, I have recorded it in an account book, and I have already shown it to Bao Erye.

The slave dares to guarantee that if any one is maliciously framed, the slave is willing to be guilty of the same crime as the general manager Lai. ”

"Bring me your accounts!"

Jia Zheng couldn't sit still.

It's appalling.

There were only more than 20,000 taels of silver left in the Jia family's silver treasury before, and Jia Baoyu moved it out.

If in the garden, only Lai Da alone coveted him 30,000 taels of silver, then he felt that he, as well as Rongguo Mansion, was a big joke at all!

After Jia Zheng got the account book, he looked at it one by one, and every time he looked at one more, the blood on his face became thicker, and in the end, he closed the account book with a "snap", and his face turned red like a pig's liver.

Shame!

He was already speechless with anger, and he held it for a long time, when suddenly a mouthful of old blood spurted out......

……

Jia Zheng was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and almost fainted, which naturally caused a moment of chaos in the scene.

Fortunately, Jia Baoyu had already taken precautions, so Lin Zhixiao arranged dozens of people in advance to help stabilize the scene at a critical time.

After Jia Zheng came back to his senses, he refused to invite Lang Zhong, and instead said to Jia Baoyu: "You have the right to decide this matter today, I am not feeling well, so I will go back to the house first." ”

After speaking, Jia Zheng sued Jia's mother again, and then went back with the support of Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.

It's dark.

Lin Zhixiao's family sent people to hang red lanterns under the eaves of the corridor around the courtyard at the right time.

Jia Zheng vomited blood and left, Lai Da knew that he was really finished.

Jia Baoyu skipped him for the time being, and said to Wu Xindeng: "Steward Wu, do you need me to repeat it again?" ”

Wu Xindeng saw that the Lai family had fallen, where did he dare to hold on, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The sin of not teaching.

Now that Wu Xindeng has pleaded guilty, it will be easy to do.

"Steward Lin, you personally led people, surrounded the Wu family, and checked all the belongings, I want to see how many family members the Wu Steward who has been in charge of the treasury for six years!"

"Ah......h

There was a scream, but it was Aunt Wu (Wu Xindeng's daughter-in-law), who had been watching the movement on the side for a long time, seeing that the situation was not good, and wanted to go home to settle down, but was stopped by the leaders of Lin Zhixiao's family, who had been prepared.

Jia's mother cherishes her blessings and doesn't want to see such a thing.

"Does it really have to be like this?"

"It has to be so! In severe cases, you can't avoid medical treatment, and you should take heavy medicine. This is what my grandson learned when he was in a disaster relief in Shandong.

If it weren't for this, the lives of His Royal Highness Sun Er and the Second Prince would have to be explained in Shandong! ”

Scare......

When Jia Baoyu said this, how could Jia's mother refute it?

That's it, these are the affairs of the outer house, and they are the affairs of the master's family, and even Jia Zheng handed it over to Jia Baoyu.

"It's just Lai's ......"

Jia's mother's meaning, the Lai family will not copy it. Even if it is to protect her face, the Lai family can't copy it!

Jia Baoyu naturally understood what Jia's mother meant, and he glanced at Lai Da, who was still kneeling: "Mr. Lai earned 30,000 silver in less than a year, and his clever means and bold actions made even me deeply admire." ”

Lai Da bowed down.

"Mr. Lai should have been the head of Rongguo Mansion and the housekeeper for twenty years, right?

I will not give you thirty thousand taels for one year, even if it is three thousand taels, three thousand for a year, twenty years, sixty thousand, plus these thirty thousand, ninety thousand taels.

Ninety thousand taels is not good, even if one hundred thousand is good.

100,000 taels of silver, before tomorrow, the Lai family must make up for it!

If there is less than one tael, one board will be hit, and if there are ten taels, ten boards will be played.

Hehe, if Mr. Lai thinks that he can carry 100,000 boards, I don't want any of the Lai family's silver! ”

Lai Da is still on the ground.

"Okay, I have given the road, you kneel here, when I see a hundred thousand silver, when will you leave. Aunt Lin can go back to discuss with Lai Mo now, to see if she wants Lai Da's life or 100,000 silver.

By the way, the five hundred silver I rewarded to Mr. Lai, Aunt Lai can also take it back, after all, it is the grace of the Lord's family, and I can't refuse. ”

As soon as Jia Baoyu waved her hand, Aunt Lai, who had been stared at for a long time, was free.

She had knelt down and begged Mother Jia before, but unfortunately Mother Jia ignored her.

Now after listening to Jia Baoyu's words, he only staggered home to discuss with his mother-in-law.

Oh my God, 100,000 pieces of silver, I'm going to die
