Chapter 526: Night Affair (1)
When Jia Qing returned to Tianxianglou again, the sisters saw that he had a different color.
Zhou Rui's family and several mothers-in-law successively told Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang the news they had discovered, and they naturally knew about it.
Jia's mother asked Jia Qingdao: "Brother Qing'er, what's going on outside?" ”
Jia Qing patted his head and said, "Oh, look at me, I forgot such an important thing." Just now I disposed of a slave outside, it was in Lian's second sister-in-law's house, it happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to tell the old lady, Mrs. and Lian's second sister-in-law, I really should be beaten, I should be beaten! ”
Jia Qing was smiling and very warm, which did not conform to the image of "decisive and ruthless", "murderous" and "majestic" in the mouth of Zhou Rui's family.
Wang Xifeng's face was uneasy, and he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, since it was a mistake, the second brother should deal with it." ”
Although Jia Qing disposed of her people without asking her meaning, it stands to reason that she should be angry, but at this time she didn't have it at all.
Those mothers-in-law can say that a living person is so blurred by the flesh and blood of being beaten in public, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
Fortunately, Lai Wang'er didn't say it. He also took all the blame, which finally made her a little relieved.
Jia Mu asked again: "What they said is true?" Is it true that the money was caught by the government? ”
Jia Qing nodded: "It's true." A gambler named Wang Liang was riddled with gambling debts, and he couldn't pay off the profits, so he sold his wife to a wealthy merchant in the east of the city. The woman was so fierce that she hanged herself. Only a five-year-old daughter was left in the family and left unattended, and she starved to death! The girl's uncle was angry, and sued Wang Liang and the rich businessman in a piece of paper.
That Wang Liang found in his conscience in court that the confession said that the people who put the money on his wife forced him to do it, and he also said that he knew that several people like him had borrowed money from these people because they had gone the wrong way for a while, so that they could not pay it off later, and they could only bankrupt their families. The good ones can take refuge in other places, and the bad ones are like him, whose families are ruined and they live on the streets begging.
The government went to check according to what he said, and found Lai Wang'er. ”
Sisters grew up in a rich and gentle country, where did they know that there was such a tragic thing in the world, and it happened around them, and they couldn't help but cry sadly when they thought about it.
Jia Qing continued: "When I listened to the master's instructions to go to Shuntian Mansion, I was going to ask people to come out, and then beat up the old man Yin of Nafu by the way. After eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall, dare to arrest the people of our Jia family! Who knew that the old man of Nafu Yin seemed to know my thoughts, and showed me a lot of evidence as soon as we met, good guy, there were more than ten confessions, some of them were bitter, and there were also a few other people who were arrested for putting money in Yinzi, all of them pointed to our family's Laiwang, and they all said conclusively. When Fu Yin saw that I still didn't believe me, he called out all the witnesses and the sufferers for me to see, including the one named Wang Liang......
With such human and material evidence, I didn't have to say anything, so I had to bring people back in a gloomy way. ”
Xue Baochai, as an outsider, like Aunt Xue, never said a word since she knew about it. At this time, Xue Baochai couldn't help but glance at Jia Qing, since this mansion Yin had taken the risk of offending Jia Mansion and arrested people, why did he let people go so easily......
Of course, she still didn't ask this question.
Mrs. Wang stared at Wang Xifeng, her eyes were deep, and she was silent for a long time.
Jia Mu sighed and said, "Even if this is the case, it is not too much to kill the evil slave. That's it, these things are still done by your masters, so we don't have to worry about it. It's getting late, so let's go back. Then he said to Aunt Xue, "Is Mrs. Xue with us?" ”
Aunt Xue smiled: "Naturally, we are with the old lady." ”
"Ancestor, why don't you go back after dinner? The grandson still wants to respect the ancestor with two more glasses of wine. ”
"That's it, you, you're busy all day long, let alone something? You don't have to spend any more energy on us. You don't have to worry, when you have children and grandchildren, you can be as idle as me, and you can naturally enjoy happiness at that time, Hehehe. ”
Jia Qingdao: "Okay, then the grandson will come to honor and serve the ancestor again!" ”
Jia Mu smiled, Jia Qing's sycophants became more and more silent.
In this way, as when they came, Rongguofu and his entourage took the car back to Rongguofu.
In front of Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu let everyone disperse to rest. Mrs. Wang called Wang Xifeng to the East Courtyard.
"Get on your knees!"
As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Wang asked the maids to go out, and then said her life.
"Mrs......" Wang Xifeng knelt down obediently.
Mrs. Wang's face was frosty, and she asked, "Let me ask you, did you instruct you to put the money in Wang'er?" ”
"Why did Mrs. say this, I only found out about this matter, how could it be that I instructed it, why did Mrs. doubt me?"
Mrs. Wang was furious: "You still ask me why I doubt you? Isn't that Wang'er your little servant, isn't it the person you brought from the Wang family, who can support him except you? ”
"Mrs. said that Wang'er is my person, and I have nothing to say, but if the bad things he does are all instigated by me, how can I not be wronged? First, I am not short of silver, and I can't afford to let a slave help me earn money, and secondly, how can I not know the benefits and disadvantages of putting money in Yinzi, and how dare I touch this, there are so many ways to make money, why should I gamble with my reputation and life. ”
Wang Xifeng couldn't stop crying, looking like she had been greatly wronged, if others saw it, they would definitely think that Mrs. Wang was bullying her by using her status as an elder.
Mrs. Wang is not easy to fool, she said coldly: "You said that this matter has nothing to do with you, but I don't believe it." He's just a minion, without you fighting for his waist behind, how did he make a living, how dare he make a living? Again, where did he get so much silver? ”
Wang Xifeng was a little anxious when she saw that Mrs. Wang didn't believe her words. She didn't know why Laiwang didn't confess to her, but she didn't dare to gamble, in case Mrs. Wang called Laiwang's daughter-in-law in for interrogation, wouldn't it be bad?
"What Mrs. said is true, but I know that it is not unusual for Laiwang to have so much silver in his hand. It's not that these slave wives in our house don't know, and if they have a little identity, there is no shortage of silver in the family, and he has been with me for so many years, and it is nothing to secretly accumulate these silver. Didn't Zhou Rui's family say that Brother Qing found more than 10,000 taels of silver from his house.
As for why he dared to do this business, I don't dare to say that there must be no one behind him, I can only say that I definitely didn't let him do it. As a servant in the house, he also has some connections in the house, and besides, he doesn't just listen to my orders......"
Mrs. Wang said, "You mean Lian'er?" ”
Wang Xifeng said: "I don't know, it's just that he is the master who can't control the silver, and no one can say for sure." ”
Mrs. Wang thought that it was really possible, and scolded Jia Lian, "This thing that doesn't grow!" On the other hand, he ordered someone to call Jia Lian over.
