Chapter 332: The Man Behind the Scenes
That man said that after the deed was completed, not only would his reputation be cleared, but even worse than before.
And the only requirement is to cooperate with all the right people, and then pull Jia Lian and even the entire Jia family off the horse!
And as for the reason, he didn't care at all!
And the right person, looking at the two people lying on the ground who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, Jia Yucun squinted.
Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Jia Lian's mind turned quickly, his eyes looked at the two people on the ground, Jia Lian looked up at the two women who were still looking at him with resentment, and then looked at Jia Yucun.
"You said something funny, as if I was really the murderer, then let me ask you, what did you see when you came in just now?"
With a clear eye, Jia Lian looked at Jia Yucun with burning eyes.
Hmph, it's really good, this person has finally torn off the mask on his face and is really the enemy of the Jia family.
Seeing Jia Lian asking such a question, Jia Yucun might as well think that Jia Lian wanted to exonerate himself, and this time he was threatening him, so a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, glanced at the two ladies, and raised his voice.
"I saw that the two shopkeepers in the house were with Master Jia, and they were lying on the ground!"
His eyes were full of madness, and Jia Yucun seemed to see the dawn of victory just around the corner.
Jia Yucun's words are true, he Jia Yucun is not the only one who saw this scene just now, so Jia Lian naturally can't refute it.
It's just that......
Stepping forward, Jia Lian walked directly in front of Jia Yucun.
"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, let me ask you again, but you see that I am the only one with them?!"
"Naturally, it's just you with them!"
As soon as Jia Lian's words fell, Jia Yucun couldn't wait to answer, and when he heard this, Jia Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Lord Jia, for speaking up, if it weren't for your personal testimony, I was the only one with the two of you just now, I'm afraid that I, the yamen, would have to bear the name of careless human life."
Dumbfounded, Jia Yucun might as well Jia Lian said this, and just wanted to say something without turning a corner for a while, Jia Lian simply squatted down to face the two women.
"I understand your feelings, but I also hope that you will calm down, now that Lord Jia has testified to me, I was the only one with these two at that time, I can't hurt the two of them alone, but I myself was unharmed, and there was no sign of a fight at all."
Speaking of this, Jia Yucun didn't know Jia Lian's intentions, and his face immediately changed greatly, and he was choked and almost turned his back.
Qin Shangyou and Wei Yanshou slammed into the wall by themselves, although they said a lot of nonsense before the collision, it was undeniable that Jia Lian really didn't move them with a finger.
thought that the two of them were going to do it to themselves, so Jia Lian hid.
But in this way, at least Jia Lian's own charges are cleared.
As for suicide in the Yamen.
This is not the one who pays attention to human rights or anything in later generations, where is it not good for these two people to die, they dare to come here to die, with the intention of wronging Jia Lian, it would be good if he didn't disturb the peace.
They are merchants, Shinong businessmen, and the status of merchants is the lowest, and now they are not only noisy yamen, but also intend to wronged the officials of the imperial court, which is the following crime, and the crime is not small.
What Jia Lian thought of, others naturally thought of it.
The look on Jia Yucun's face had become very ugly, but the rest of the others woke up like a dream when they heard this, and they all came out of Jia Yucun's previous abducted thinking.
The two women originally saw their husbands become like this, and they were in the yamen, so they thought it was Jia Lian's hand, but now they heard the words and found that it didn't seem to be the case, they looked at each other for a while, with tears on their faces, and the hatred for Jia Lian in their eyes didn't have time to disappear.
"Since I am innocent, you might as well listen to me first, you also saw just now, I have sent someone to ask for a doctor, I think it is almost here, and now they are hitting the wall in my yamen, and even trying to frame me, the court official, I will definitely not think about them when I don't know who is behind the scenes."
With his gaze as soft as possible, Jia Lian tried to appease the two women.
Now the best way to clear oneself is for these two men to wake up and tell him who is behind it.
The back was basically sweaty, and Jia Lian saw that the faces of the two people seemed to be relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The person behind him was really generous, in order to pull him off the horse, he directly exchanged two lives.
Does he have to be honored again, one life for two lives, one life to save the capital, and two lives to earn one life.
The atmosphere of stalemate between the two sides has finally relaxed, at least Jia Lianrang's invited imperial doctor has arrived.
Qin Shangyou and Wei Yanshou collided with the heart of death, but the two of them were a little stupid, and they hit their foreheads.
So although it looked bloody and scary, it was just a skin wound, just fainting.
And in order to verify his innocence again, Jia Lian also deliberately spoke to the imperial doctor in front of his two wives.
"Is this kind of wound hit by yourself or someone else, does the imperial doctor have a charter?"
The tone was not as harsh as at least talking to Jia Yucun, and Jia Lian seemed to open his mouth unintentionally.
The imperial doctor was cleaning and medicating the two of them, and he didn't think much about it when he heard it, and spoke directly.
"There are many injuries to myself, and if others hit or push, then the location of this wound will cause me to have a different shape."
Speaking honestly, the Imperial Doctor continued his hand movements.
Qin Shangyou's wife and Wei Yanshou's wife glanced at each other in a complicated mood when they heard this, then looked at Jia Lian, hesitated slightly, and finally stepped forward to speak.
"The folk woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me for neglecting the adult, it really scares me by the appearance of the master."
After speaking, he choked up twice, and looked at Jia Lian's eyes full of guilt.
In this case, Jia Lian naturally doesn't account too much, but there are things that should be insisted on or insisted on.
"What the imperial doctor means, now that they can't wake up because they just fainted, they just wait for the hour to pass, and it's basically fine, but now that my suspicions have been clarified, but their actions have seriously damaged the image of the court, so the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped."
The last word fell, and Jia Lian's eyes were extremely serious.
The wife was taken aback by Jia Lian like this, and looked at the two people around her, and the original anger in her heart turned into apprehension.
When Qin Shangyou and Wei Yanshou went out, they just said that Jia Lian was invited here, and did not tell them anything else. So the family didn't know how the two of them became what they are now.
This is also why they were so excited when they saw Qin Shangyou and Wei Yanshou lying on the ground before.
It's just that the change of things came too suddenly, and what they originally thought was that Jia Lian's persecution suddenly turned into two suicides, which really confused them.
The words of begging for mercy continued, and the two women were worried that their hearts would become a little annoyed.
Jia Lian saw that the timing was about the same, and hurriedly seized the opportunity.
"This official is by no means a ruthless person, but you yourself have seen it, these two people are really hateful, if it weren't for that Lord Jia who arrived in time with someone, I'm afraid this black pot official would have betrayed it."
With a feigned anger on his face, Jia Lian glanced at the two of them silently, and then groaned slightly.
"The official just blames them for wanting to harm the official, so far since I'm fine, it's not impossible not to pursue it, but you tell me first, these days, why is there no problem with other people's shops, but the two of you have been closed more than a dozen stores in a row, and found out so many unqualified places?"
Although the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, Jia Lian knows that in a business family like this, usually the female protagonist is also an extremely important part of social interaction, so they must also know something.
Sure enough, as soon as Jia Lian's words fell, the woman who was nodding her head just now and bowing down to ask Jia Lian for forgiveness got up instantly, her face full of surprise.
Hey, there's a door.
The original anger in his heart turned into surprise, and Jia Lian struck while the iron was hot.
"The official called the two of them here today, originally because he felt that the century-old reputation of the two of you should not be ruined, so he wanted to persuade them to manage it well. It's just two sentences, and the official doesn't know what's going on with them, and he talks nonsense about something that the official doesn't understand, and then hits the wall in front of the official. ”
To be reasonable, Jia Lian was scared at that time.
The two of them looked resolute, and when they said something like that, Jia Lian thought that they were going to kill themselves.
Who would have thought that they wanted not to die for him, but for themselves.
But why would a person who is not even afraid of death do such a thing?
Jia Lian's words fell, and the two women saw surprise in each other's eyes.
It turned out that even they didn't know what was going on with each other, but now that Jia Lian mentioned it in front of the two of them, they all looked at each other with the same look of you.
If it was in the past, Jia Lian might not have a clue, but now that people have sent the handle and breakthrough to him, if he can't catch it anymore, then he will really be a pustule.
There was no hurry, Jia Lian sat like this for a long time, Qin Shangyou and Wei Yanshou's wives each groaned, their eyes looked out and looked, and finally they couldn't calm down.
"About half a month ago, the Wu family sent someone to our house to find our master, and I don't know what he said, because I wasn't there, so I don't know the details. When asked about our boss afterwards, he was vague and couldn't say why, but from that day on, he ordered people to prepare some things in the kitchen that the adults had seized in the past few days. ”
Qin Shangyou's wife said that these things are the raw materials that have deteriorated, and the evidence of recycling the leftovers of the guests.
If it's not a restaurant and tea shop, then according to the regulations on Jia Lian's brochure, how can you get it.
"When I first found out the first problem, I asked our boss. After all, our family is a century-old merchant, and the most important thing is reputation. Don't say that now adults clearly stipulate that there were no such terms and conditions in the past, and we are also clean and comfortable, in order to be able to retain guests. ”
Jia Lian believed this.
In fact, although there is no treachery or business, businessmen who really have a vision do not value those opportunistic things, and they are very taboo.
The ancients had the same name, and the merchants were even more so.
Therefore, in order to go long-term in the future, merchants are looking for ways to improve the quality of customer experience.
It's just the Wu family she said just now......
Looking at Wei Yanshou's wife, Jia Lian raised his eyebrows.
"You are also the Wu family?"
was a little embarrassed by Jia Lian's question, Wei Yanshou's wife's old face suddenly turned red, and then nodded slowly.
She knows more than Qin Shangyou's wife, because her mother's family is also a merchant and has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she is also very good at this business, so she also takes care of housework with her husband.
"Like Sister Qin's house, we were also about half a month ago, Steward Wu looked for me to be in charge, and the study was closed for most of the night, and I didn't leave until noon, and I didn't have lunch, and I was sneaky."
"And what Sister Qin said just now is exactly what my family is facing now. It's just that when I was asleep and groaning in my home, I seemed to hear that some children and grandchildren were developed and could finally get rid of something. ”
Saying this, the circles under her eyes were slightly red, and Wei Yanshou's wife obviously knew what was going on.
Staggered and knelt on the ground with a "poof", Qin Shangyou and Wei Yanshou's wife kowtowed to Jia Lian while speaking sadly.
"Lord Qingtian, they are all Steward Wu, it must be Steward Wu who coerced us to be in charge, our Wei family has been honest for several generations, and the family is full of children and grandchildren, how could he do such a thing."
The sound of "knock knock" came and went, and only then did Qin Shangyou's wife react.
The merchant was the lowliest.
Therefore, the imperial court also has relevant regulations, and the three generations of merchants and the like are not allowed to be examined.
In other words, even if you have money, then on the surface, you don't want to have anything to do with the government for three generations.
It's just said here, just on the surface. There are many people who spend money to buy officials in private, but they just don't want to chase after them.
You must know that it is legal to buy officials at this time, but usually the more remote the area, the less money the emperor actually has.
Even some people with black hearts don't hand over a penny directly, deceive their superiors and subordinates, and make a lot of money.
And those of them in Kyoto are even more eye-catching.
It's just that in the end, unlike the poor countryside, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such behavior is nothing compared to other places.
Although there are still acts of buying officials, it is not feasible for merchants.
Therefore, if Jia Lian did not guess wrong, it should be the Wu family who used the descendants to enter the Shi as bait to lure the Wei family and the Qin family to frame him, even at the cost of his own life.
After all, the two of them are now fifty or sixty years old, in this medically underdeveloped position, being able to live to the age of sixty or seventy is already considered a long life, and now a great opportunity is placed in front of them, and it is still very cost-effective for them to be able to exchange their century-old foundation and their two lives for their children and grandchildren.
"We have the shops under our hands set up according to the regulations issued to us by the adults, and strive to close each shop, but the actual use for customers is still the best.
And every day find some reason for different guests to see for themselves, and then find someone to report to you. ”
Eager to give it all out in one breath, Wei Yanshou's wife continued to kneel and speak.
"In this case, the adults will inevitably send someone to investigate, at this time, the people we arrange in the crowd will whisper the matter of the adults framing the people for money, and the small amount will add up, and when the East Window incident happens in the future, everyone knows that in fact, our shop is because of the adult's frame, so it was closed, and then they will add fuel to the fire, not only will the reputation of our shop remain unchanged, but the adults will also fall into the court dispute."
