When Jia Rui was in the Jinjiling mine, Jia Ao not only provided him with the details of the mine, but also introduced him to Zhou Cai.

According to Jia Ao, Zhou Cai is loyal to his master and understands the situation here in the old mansion.

With these two points, it is enough to list him as an object to strive for and rely on, and open a gap from within.

Zhou Cai was excluded, there must be resentment in his heart, and he also has the motive to cooperate with Jia Rui.

Once Jia Fang and the others are defeated, he will regain power because of his loyalty. Anyone can count this account.

At this time, Jia Rui, Lin Zhixiao, and Zhou Cai walked in Rongguo's mansion.

While walking, he checked the account book left by Jia Jue and reviewed the repair items listed above.

At this time, they were here in Rongxi Hall.

"According to the project listed in the account, it cost 3,600 taels of silver to repair this place in June of the previous year."

Lin Zhixiao said.

"Hmph, it's made up again."

Zhou Cai said angrily.

"Zhou Cai, tell me in detail, where is the fraud?"

"First of all, this day is not right, June day, it is the rainy season, it rains almost every day, how can there be this time to repair the house? The day of the renovation is in October. ”

"The account said that it took a total of 21 days to complete the repair."

"Hmph, it's right to remove those twenty days, but it's only taken one day."

"It is said that thirty craftsmen were hired, and ninety taels of silver were spent on wages alone."

"What kind of craftsmen do you use? It's useless to be a craftsman at all, I led the people in the house to do it together, where is the money for a penny? ”

"You can do all of this, you can do all this, you can change the tiles, the doors and windows have been changed, and the bricks have been replaced?"

"Where did it change? I didn't change it, but I bought some red paint and brushed it, and then brushed it with a layer of tung oil. You see, even the original old paint has not been scraped off, just painted on it, it has only been more than a year, and the paint has burst again. ”

"It was said that it was materials such as doors and windows, and it cost more than three thousand taels of silver, so it is naturally fake?"

"Where did you get the three thousand taels of silver? Red lacquer and tung oil and the like, all added together, are less than ten taels of silver. ”

It was so dark, even Jia Rui was a little surprised.

He knew that Jia Jue and the others would do tricks, thinking that they would make some false lists of expenses in terms of materials and labor.

But I never expected that I would be so bold. In addition to the expenses of ten or so taels of silver, the remaining three thousand six hundred taels were almost all fictitious expenses.

So greedy for ink, almost to the point of madness.

Several people were discussing, and Daiyu, Miaoyu, Zijuan, Wang Mama and others came over.

It turned out that they were okay, so they came out to relax, and they just came here.

"Miss Lin, Miss Miaoyu, we just want to check everywhere, how about we take a walk together?"

Jia Rui had an idea, and he sent out an invitation.

His purpose is to ask Daiyu and others to also witness the situation of greedy ink on the side of the old mansion.

After Daiyu, Zijuan, and Mama Wang go back, they are likely to mention these things to the people in the house, and they will be Jia Rui's witnesses at that time.

Even if they don't take the initiative to bring it up, Jia Rui will mention that they have witnessed these things.

With the testimony of these people, the actions and conclusions you will make in the future will be more convincing.

Even if Jia Lian and Jia Yu argued and wanted to find their own flaws, they couldn't start.

"Okay, let's go for a walk together."

Where did Daiyu know about Jia Rui's calculations, and readily agreed.

The group came down and arrived at the Qinfang Garden of Ningguo Mansion.

This Qinfang Garden, the scale and format are similar to the Huifang Garden in Ningguofu, the capital, perhaps the Huifang Garden was built according to the model of this Qinfang Garden.

"The flowers and trees of Qinfang Garden cost one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, and one hundred and nine hired laborers."

Lin Zhixiao read it out according to the account book.

"Hmph, there's a lot of fraud here. The flowers and plants are nothing, but they are made on the plum blossoms and ginkgo trees. ”

"There are a lot of these two, and the sides are full of plants, but they are of different sizes."

For a while, Jia Rui really didn't see any flaws.

"Outsiders don't know the inside story, so naturally they can't see the flaws. The plum blossoms and ginkgo biloba here are right, and the number is also good. It's just about the size of the hand. ”

"Oh? How is this done hand and foot? ”

"The original ginkgo trees are all more than 30 years old, more than a foot thick, at this moment, you see, where is the ginkgo more than a foot thick? The largest is just over an inch thick, which is a few years. This is true of the ginkgo trees, and so are the plum blossoms. ”

It turned out that the big tree was replaced by a small tree.

"What about the big trees?"

"Those big trees have been in business for many years and are pruned every year. If the appearance is good, they will be dug up and sold, and replaced with these worthless things. ”

"Ouch, that's true."

Mama Wang suddenly shouted.

"Mama Wang, have you ever seen those big trees?"

"Master Rui, if you ask me about this, you really asked. When I accompanied my young lady to get married, I used to live in the old house. At that time, the old man came here to greet his relatives. ”

"That year coincided with August 15, and I used to admire the moon in this courtyard. At that time, the ginkgo trees and plum blossoms were already very large, but they were not what they are today. ”

Hey, I didn't expect a circumstantial evidence to appear inadvertently.

Jia Fang, even God won't help you.

The group walked around the two mansions slowly, comparing projects one by one.

Except for a few repair projects in the early years, the projects in the later years almost all had serious false expenditures, and the later they went, the more serious they became, almost to the point of unscrupulousness.

At first, it was just these people, but then the movement became louder, and almost all the people in the two mansions came to see the excitement.

Zhou Cai took the opportunity to bewitch these people and expose the abuses.

The more courageous people joined the exposé column, and although the timid ones did not speak, they did not refute the facts that Zhou Cai and others said.

"Don't be afraid, the master of the capital is the real master. Even if you are not here, whoever dares to embarrass you, as long as we know, we will definitely administer justice to you. ”

From time to time, Jia Rui started a few sentences.

It turned out that Daiyu and Miaoyu didn't know the real purpose of Jia Rui's trip, thinking that they were just staying here for a few days.

Now seeing this situation, I can't help but feel bitter in my heart.

Daiyu approached Miaoyu.

"Well, if I had known this, I would not have gone with them. Now that I'm inexplicably involved, why bother? ”

"Daiyu, it's too late for you to regret it at this time. I told you a long time ago that this Jarry is not a good person to deal with. This person is too scheming, and he speaks openly, you just don't believe it. He gave you some small favors, and you treat him as a good person, this time you know. ”

"Miaoyu, is what you said a little exaggerated? Although Brother Rui is a little scheming, he is not bad-hearted. ”

My family's affairs, if there is no big brother Rui, let the second brother Lian continue to do it, maybe what it will look like. My father is also very satisfied with Brother Rui.

"He's the best at disguise, and you've been deceived by him. I tell you, you must be more careful when you get along with him in the future, otherwise, he will sell you, and you will help him count the money. ”

"Miaoyu, you're too careful. I think Brother Rui is still very easy to get along with. ”

"Hmph, after getting along for a long time, you will know that this big brother is not human."

Jia Rui saw the two muttering, as if they were looking at him, so he leaned over.

"What do the two girls say, so happy?"

"Oh, we say you're a good guy and you're dedicated to doing things for the house."

Miaoyu smiled, and her tone was very sincere.

"Miss Miaoyu won the award, this is what I should do."

Daiyu couldn't hold back any longer, Gege laughed, squatted on the ground, and couldn't stand up.

Miaoyu glared at Daiyu and dragged her away.
