Jia Lian and his subordinates stayed behind to count the silver and clean up the mess, and Jia Rui, Aunt Fang, and Steward Lin arrived at Daiyu.

didn't care about the defense of men and women, so he went directly into Daiyu's house.

"How's Miss Lin?"

Jarry asked.

Zijuan cried while gently shaking Daiyu.

"It's still breathing in and out, but I can't wake up no matter how I scream."

"Miss, what's wrong with you? The master is not good over there, and you have an accident here, what can you do with this family, how will you live in the future? ”

Aunt Fang cried.

"Auntie, don't worry, Miss may be in a hurry. Steward Lin, you go out of the house immediately to find the doctor, and do you know where Mr. Ledger lives? ”

"Yes, in Lion Street."

"By the way, I brought the bookkeeper and asked him to see if the account books were burned."

"Okay, I'll go out."

Aunt Fang, Zijuan, Snow Goose and Daiyu's old mother were still crying, and Jia Rui also looked anxious.

Looking at Daiyu's face, it seems to be quite normal, breathing steadily, but her eyes are closed.

"It turns out that Daiyu can also act, this pretends to be quite similar."

When I was at Mr. Luo's house during the day, I had already made an appointment. As long as there is a fire in the account room, Daiyu pretends to faint.

The purpose of this is to lure the snake out of the hole, so that those who covet the Lin family's property will take the initiative to jump out.

Only in this way can we know who is making a wrong mind and what their demands are. Otherwise, one will jump out today, and one will pop up tomorrow, and Jia Rui will not have time to fight a protracted battle with them at all.

This is the plan he discussed with Lin Ruhai and Daiyu.

After a while, Jia Lian came over with two subordinates.

"Is the inventory clear?"

"It's clear, three thousand two hundred taels of silver, account books, contracts, bills, etc., are all burned, and there is not a single piece of paper left."

"Second Brother Lian, it doesn't matter if the money is burned, the account books are burned, and this is a big trouble. What kind of property does my aunt have, I'm afraid it's a little unclear this time. ”

"Well, that's right, and I'm worried about it."

Jia Lian sighed heavily, and he didn't know how he felt at this time.

"Second Brother Lian, after you came, didn't you check the accounts?"

"Originally, I wanted to investigate, but my aunt was still there, and I couldn't speak. Later, my aunt had a stroke, and I was embarrassed to mention it again. ”

"Aunt Fang, do you know how much property my aunt has?"

Aunt Fang looked at Jia Rui, and there was obviously a trace of disgust in her eyes.

Jia Rui understood that she must have thought that she was still worried about the Lin family's property at this time.

"I never cared about these things, how would I know."

"Does Miss Lin know?"

"Miss has been to your house since she was a child, where will she know about these mundane things?"

Aunt Fang hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made up her mind.

"Uncle Rui, Second Master Lian, although I am a woman, I also know that there is a priority in things. Now that the old man is bedridden, the young lady has fainted again, she is already weak, and I don't know if I can survive this level. ”

"I originally expected you to be the master of the young lady, but now it seems that you are no different from those people. I don't care what happens to you. But isn't it a bit out of place to talk about property at this time? ”

Hey, this Aunt Fang is a loving and righteous person. But you misunderstood me by putting me in their circle. I'm exploring Jia Lian's bottom line.

Forget it, you'll understand what's going on in the future.

"My aunt is right, I won't mention it anymore. Second brother Lian, let's go out, Zijuan, take good care of Miss. ”

After a while, the doctor came.

I asked about the situation, cut the pulse, but said something like being overly worried and anxious, and opened a prescription, and left after a few words.

Lin Ruhai was sick, and the Lin family had prepared a lot of medicinal materials, so Aunt Fang went to boil medicine for Daiyu.

As soon as the doctor sent him away, Steward Lin came with Mr. Luo, and several people went to Jia Lian's room together.

"Mr. Luo, the account room went on fire, the account books inside were burned, and there was not a single piece of paper left. Have you copied down an extra copy of those account books? ”

Jia Rui spoke first and reported to Mr. Luo.

"Uncle Rui, whose account office will prepare an extra account book? It's just such an account, and if it is burned, it will be gone. ”

"Can you remember the numbers on those accounts?"

Jia Lian asked.

"Second Master Lian, this is a small difficulty. With so many numbers, where can you remember them clearly? Even remembering some is incomplete. Besides, if you don't have a certificate, how do you know if what I'm saying is true or not? The little one wants to go to the account office and see if he can find something useful. ”

"Okay, you can go check it out. Brother Rui, are you going? ”

"Second Brother Lian, I won't go. Take him there. ”

"It's okay, it's getting late, you can rest."

Jia Rui didn't rest immediately, and came to Jia Yun's room.

"Brother Yun, you go to Shaoxing tomorrow and find someone to come back."

"Who?"

"My aunt's original money and grain master, Master Li."

The next morning, the Lin Mansion, which had been deserted for a long time, became lively.

Lin Ruhai's original subordinates and some acquaintances from other yamen heard the news and rushed over one after another. After saying some sympathetic words, he sighed for a while, and then said goodbye and left.

It is said that Lin Ruhai is a salt patrol and often deals with salt merchants.

Jia Rui paid special attention and did not find a salt merchant coming to greet him.

Merchants are very profitable, Lin Ruhai is terminally ill, and it will be useless in the future, and those salt merchants are probably busy looking for a new way at this time, preparing to hunt for the next salt patrol imperial history.

At noon, some of the Lin family's clansmen came, and most of them inquired about the situation, looked at Lin Ruhai and Daiyu and left.

Zhou Gongzi, Lin Rushui, Lin Rujia, Lin Ruhe, and Lin Rujiang stayed.

A few people muttered to Steward Lin in the courtyard for a while, and then entered Jia Lian's room.

After half an hour, Steward Lin looked for Jia Rui.

"Second Brother Lian, what are you looking for me?"

Jia Rui asked with a straight face.

"Brother Rui, I see that my aunt and Miss Lin's illness will not get better for a while. Some things can't be put off, and it seems that what should be done should also be done. ”

"Second Brother Lian, what do you want to say?"

I finally couldn't hold my breath, this is a showdown.

"This ......, Lin Rushui, this is your business, or you should say it yourself."

"Uncle Rui, we didn't want to mention this matter at this time......

"Don't say anything else, just say it."

"Uncle Rui is refreshing, and we are also refreshing. You also know that Ruhai is our brother, just like a family. He was born in Tanhua, and he is the face of our Lin family. If there is anything difficult for Ruhai, we are willing to help him. ”

"In the past, we had some dealings with Ruhai on silver taels, so we ......."

"Oh, I see. It must be that you owe money to your aunt, and now that you see their father and daughter pitiful, you want to pay them back, don't you? ”

"Hehe, Uncle Rui laughed. It's not that we owe them money, it's that Ruhai owes us money. We're here to get an account. ”
