Chapter 74: Breaking Wealth and Avoiding Disaster
Although Jia Fang is dissatisfied with Jia Yucun, he will still need others in the future, so he has to accompany the smiling face.
"My lord, you can give me an idea, so that we can deal with this matter."
"Jia Fang, it's not that I don't care about you. If it's business, I'll be on your side. But this is a matter in your family, how can I talk well? ”
"I'll show you the way, Master Song is resourceful, you go and discuss it with him to see if he has any good ideas."
"My lord, this ......."
Jia Fang still wanted to speak, but Jia You quietly pulled his sleeve.
"My lord, then let's go to Master Song to ask for a lesson or two."
Jia You dragged Jia out.
"Brother You, why don't you let me speak? He was happy when he received the money, but now when he is in trouble, he stands by and watches. ”
"Big brother, he told us to find Master Song, didn't he just take care of us? He is the prefect, how can this kind of thing come forward. ”
Jia Fang was right to think about it, and the two found Master Song.
After hearing this, Master Song twisted his beard and spoke slowly.
"I said you two, that's all there is to it. This little thing came to me. ”
"Master, we really can't help it. If it had been someone else, we would have thrown him into the river to feed the fish, but Jia Rui was a ...... sent by the government. ”
"What do you throw in the river to feed the fish? Is this kind of thing said casually? Since you have swallowed the money in the house, it is only natural for people to ask for money. ”
"Master, what do you mean ......."
"If you should give someone money, you have to pay it back. Don't you understand the truth of breaking wealth and avoiding disasters? ”
"The house is just for the money, and if you chase the money back, what else can they do to you? After all, they are of the same race, and if they go too far, others will laugh at them. ”
You're talking about light, spitting out the money? Can you spit out the money that has been given to you, and we will not lose it?
"Besides, if you give the money to Jia Rui, will he be able to bring it back?"
Master Song looked at the two of them, and saw that they were still ignorant, so he scolded a fool in his heart, so he had to continue to enlighten.
"The wind and waves on the river are high, and the locals still capsize at every turn. Northerners are not accustomed to water, and it is not surprising that something happens on the river. ”
"In the past few years, Shui Yan has often made trouble, intercepting and killing merchants and robbing money, they have so much money, and when they encounter Shui Yan, it seems to be ......, ah, it seems to be ......, ah."
Master Song didn't say anything and picked up the teacup.
"Master has an idea."
Jia Fang still didn't understand.
Jia You understood and stood up.
"Master, let's go back first, and then come back to ask for advice if we have something."
couldn't help but say, and pulled Jia Fang out of the Yingtianfu Yamen.
"Brother You, why don't you let me speak?"
"Big brother, didn't Master Song give the idea, you still don't understand what he said?"
"What did I say?"
"What about sailboats and water?"
Jia Fang pondered for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh.
"What does he mean is to pretend to give the money to Jia Rui and wait for them to go back and do it on the way?"
"Be quiet, and you're not afraid of being heard?"
"Brother You, this trick is spiritual, but people's lives are at stake, not only Jia Rui and a few of them, but Miss Lin and Miss Miaoyu will also go with them when the time comes, so many people are dead, and there is ...... in the house."
"If you want to achieve great things, you can't be soft-hearted. When they asked for money, did they think about our difficulties? As long as it's done cleanly, who knows if we're doing it? ”
Jia Fang looked at Jia You and felt that this brother was a little strange.
But he couldn't think of a better way at this time. Tens of thousands of taels of silver, but it is not a decimal number, so he took it away, and several years of hard work were in vain, so he couldn't swallow this breath.
"Brother You, just listen to you. It's up to you. Hmph, if you want to take money from our brothers, even the king of heaven can't do it. Jarry ...... over there. ”
"Let's just pretend not to know, anyway, he has been investigating for so long, and Zhou Cai has taken refuge in them again, and I am afraid that those things will not be hidden. Besides, there isn't much money left in those industries in the house. ”
"As long as the matter over there in the Jinjiling mine is saved, there will be some blood, and it doesn't matter. Besides, the money was given to them, and it was only hot in his hands for a while, and sooner or later it would still be ours. ”
"Okay, let's sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for Jia Rui to find us."
Now that there has been a showdown, Jia Rui no longer hides and begins to publicly investigate the affairs of the two industries.
In the next few days, Jia Rui talked to the people in the old mansion one after another, one by one.
Naturally, people know very little, and they don't get much of value.
However, Jia Rui's purpose is not to get much evidence, he just needs to create such an atmosphere of public opinion. Let the people here in the old mansion know that now we will start to investigate the embezzlement of property in the mansion by Jia Fang and others.
Lin Zhixiao and Zhang Hua, according to the clues they had before, went out to investigate the situation of the land and shops head-on.
What made Jia Rui feel a little strange was that when he investigated with great fanfare, Jia Fang and Jia You were unmoved as if they were all right.
They were not approached, nor were they seen coming out to obstruct the investigation.
It's strange, do they still have any hole cards, something to rely on, or have they accepted their fate, just waiting to be caught?
Five days later, Jinling Rongguo Mansion, West Flower Hall.
Jia Rui, Lin Zhixiao, Zhang Hua, Jia Fang, Jia You, Jia Jue, Zhou Cai, Jia Yun, the shopkeeper, the head of the grange, Mr. Accounts and others all gathered here.
They were all summoned by Jary.
I thought that they might shirk it with various excuses, but I didn't expect that Zhou Caiyi was notified yesterday, and these people came obediently today.
Even Jarry felt a little too smooth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the purpose of our coming here must be clear to you. Over the years, the old mansion has hardly handed over anything to the house. ”
"Don't talk about the previous excuses, we have already found out the name of this. It's not that there is no money left, but it's all embezzled by you. Lin Zhixiao, tell me the details of the accounts we have checked. ”
"We have something to say in person, if you think the number of our inventory is wrong, you can also bring it up in person, and we will review it. In short, it should be in the house, and we should take it away. It's yours, and we won't ask for a penny more. Lin Zhixiao, let's start. ”
Lin Zhixiao stood up and announced the results of the investigation.
"First, Yangzhou's silk village, which is a business in partnership with the Lin family's aunt. In the past five years, the silk village has distributed more than 4,000 taels of silver every year. There are accounts over there that show that the dividend money has been received. The person who handled it was Jia Jue. ”
"Jia Jue, do you admit this?"
"I confess that the money was indeed brought back by me, and it was all handed over to the account office, a total of 22,000 taels of silver."
Jia Jue happily admitted.
"Mr. Bookkeeper, have you received this money?"
"Roger."
Lin Zhixiao looked at Jia Rui, and he didn't expect that the two of them would admit it so readily.
"Lin Zhixiao, continue."
Next is the silver tael repaired by the two prefectures, the production of the land of the grange, and the income and expenditure of the rice shop and other shops.
Jia Fang, Jia You, Jia Jue and others also readily admitted that they had done something.
Lin Zhixiao was about to mention the matter of the Jinjiling mine, but was interrupted by Jia Rui.
"Lin Zhixiao, there is no need to mention the details."
The Jinjiling mine is a big deal, how can it be considered a trivial?
Lin Zhixiao didn't understand.
