Chapter 176: Pardon the Great Master Returns Home (Ask for Subscription)
"What did you find?"
In the study room of the other courtyard, the eldest man sat on the Taishi chair, looked at the three middle-aged men in front of him, and spoke calmly and indifferently.
These three middle-aged men are all the henchmen of the eldest lord, and they grew up together since childhood, but they were sent out to perform tasks when they became adults, and gradually disappeared into the circle of subordinates in the Rong Mansion.
Jia Ying is in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and most of the year ago, he was instructed by the eldest lord to organize a 'beggar gang' in Beicheng, and helped the eldest lord a lot as an eyeliner.
Jia Xiong is in charge of business affairs, and most of the properties left by the grandmother of the original owner of the eldest lord are managed by him, and he has accumulated a lot of money for the eldest lord, and at the same time he also helps to find out some news in the business circle, and he is still in a state of stealth and has not revealed his identity.
Jia Hao is in charge of operational affairs, and the masters in the hands of the eldest master are all under his command, and once necessary, he can immediately remove obstacles for the eldest lord by violent means.
The eldest lord was assassinated before, but he was silent on the surface, and privately sent a task to Jia Ying for the first time to find out the identity of the murderer behind the scenes.
Originally, there were basically no clues about the previous assassination, and it was difficult to find anything from the two dead assassins, but the murderer behind the scenes actually attacked Lian Er, and many traces were revealed at once.
The number of beggars under Jia Ying is not a few, they are not inconspicuous at all, but they are quite familiar with the surrounding environment, and the information is quite amazing when combined.
He sent a message to the eldest lord before, and he had already found out some information and needed to report to the eldest master.
It happened that Jia Xiong and Jia Hao were both in the capital, so the eldest lord simply gathered them all together and held a meeting to see who was so frustrated, and at the same time arranged a targeted action plan.
"Master, the stronghold of those guys against Second Master Lian has been clarified, in an inconspicuous small village over there in Tongzhou!"
Jia Ying respectfully reported: "According to Xiao's subordinates, the entire village belongs to them!" ”
"Oh, the village in the countryside of Tongzhou!"
The eldest lord showed a strange smile, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't be busy dealing with them first, wait for the lord and me to take office, and then find an opportunity to destroy the village openly!" ”
I don't know if this is a coincidence, or is someone secretly arranging?
"Anything else?"
Seeing that Jia Ying wanted to speak and stopped, the eldest master said angrily: "If you have something to say, sir, I know that the village you found is estimated to be outlaws, if there is no outsider to pay a lot of money, how can you assassinate this master for no reason?" ”
Jia Ying lowered his head and spoke: "Master, the little one has been found out, that village should be inseparable from Prince Zhongshun, even if the assassination of the master has nothing to do with Prince Zhongshun, he should also know!" ”
Oh, Prince Zhongshun!
The old man and the old god are here, as if he doesn't know what these four words represent, and said leisurely: "Keep an eye on it, don't reveal your identity, and you won't have to pay attention to the rest of the matter!" ”
What about the royal prince, if the eldest lord wants to deal with it, there is a way to make him die quietly!
It's just like that, it's too cheap.
Regardless of whether it is the hand of Prince Zhongshun or not, even if the account is good on his head this time, who calls the eldest master willful, he has long been dissatisfied with this guy, and there is just an excuse to be angry.
"Jia Xiong and Jia Hao don't get involved in these things, you should put your energy on Tongzhou now, and it will be of great use when I take office!"
The eldest man turned his head and glanced at the other two henchmen, and advised: "Remember, don't reveal your identity, if there is any emergency, it will be reported to Jia Ying first!" ”
"The little one understands!"
Jia Xiong and Jia Hao bowed their hands together, and after the eldest master waved them away, they quietly dispersed and left, without alarming anyone in the courtyard.
"Master, Lai Da Butler is here!"
The eldest master Shi Shiran left the study, met Xing who came over in a hurry halfway, and learned that Lai Da, the big housekeeper of Rongfu, had come to the door, and it was estimated that there was something wrong with the old lady again.
"I'm here, I'm just a housekeeper, I'm going to panic you!"
The eldest lord rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The lord knows, you go and do your business!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and went to the main hall of the other courtyard.
Sure enough, after seeing the ceremony, Lai Da immediately said that the old lady invited the eldest lord and his wife and Young Master Song to go back to the house together, ready to hold a celebration banquet, and invited a few familiar relatives.
Tut!
Mother Jia also likes to be lively too much, Rongfu is a five-day banquet and a ten-day play, no wonder the silver is spent like flowing water.
These are nothing, in fact, the family business of Rongguo Mansion can fully support it, the key is to sort out the underlying industry well, don't ask the subordinates to take advantage of the main family when the time comes.
It's time to go back and rectify the order in the mansion, some guys are doing nonsense outside in the name of Rongguo Mansion, and the responsibility will have to be borne by the mansion at that time, which is not possible.
On the same day, the eldest lord instructed Xing to pack his luggage and prepare to go back to the house to live for a while.
Seeing that Xing's face was full of joy and busyness, the eldest lord was speechless for a while and went with her, I don't know what is good in the house, Xing is just an embarrassing transparent character, and he has to be suppressed by the old lady and Mrs. Wang, and his life is called a grievance.
How comfortable she is in the other courtyard, except for Jia Song and his aunt, she is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the backyard, and she is willing to go back to the house to live a life of grievances, which is really incomprehensible.
The next morning, after breakfast, the eldest lord and Xing, as well as Jia Song and his aunt, got into the carriage and returned to the east courtyard of Rongfu, which was not far away.
"The eldest master is back!"
The news spread like the wind throughout the house, and everyone was in high spirits, and those with bad minds were ready to watch a good show, and the eldest lord's family returned home, I am afraid that the second master and the second wife will not be happy, and they will have to tear it all over at that time.
Those of them who are subordinates also have more material for broken mouths, don't they?
The subordinates in Rongguo's Mansion are not only used to being casual and have no rules, but they are also surprisingly bold, they are completely abandoned, and it is not easy to rectify them.
Fortunately, the door of the East Courtyard is rigorous, and they are all trustworthy people of the old man, and the East Courtyard has been guarded for most of the year, so that the people who have no rules in the house can take advantage of it.
After coming back, the matter of packing up and arranging the matter naturally does not need to be bothered by the eldest master, and Xing's is doing it in full swing and enjoying himself.
The eldest lord went directly to Rongqing Hall to meet Jia's mother, but he didn't expect that after entering the door, Jia Zheng's wife and Jia Lian's husband and wife were there, plus he and the masters in Jia's mother's mansion were here.
"The boss is back, don't move out in the future, let outsiders see the joke!"
Jia Mu showed a rare smile on her face, and said: "It's fun when a family lives together, and outsiders don't dare to think anything dirty when they see it!" ”
Hehe......
The old lady was willing, turning a blind eye to the rumors and rumors.
The affairs of Rongfu have long become one of the daily jokes of the people in Beijing, and there are a group of unruly subordinates to help publicize it.
The discord between the big house and the second room has long been not news, but the big house has suddenly risen in the past year, not to mention that the eldest lord and Lian Er have both won the official position, and they have mixed quite well, and they have been promoted again and again in a short period of time, which is the strange thing that makes the people feel more interesting.
In the past, the second room of Rongguo Mansion was in charge, and the house was like a sieve, and everything was spread to the outside through the mouths of the subordinates, so that the officials and the people listened to jokes for many years.
Since the eldest lord suddenly gave up the knight, and then fought hard in the officialdom, not only drove the second room out of Rongxi Hall, but also suppressed the second room and made it difficult to turn over, Liang Zi has long been married.
There are also the eldest lord and the second father and son who are proud of their promotion, but the second master of the second house is still nested in the Ministry of Industry and has not moved his buttocks, and it is also very tearing here.
Others don't know, isn't Jia's mother still clear?
Don't look at Jia Zheng is initiative to retreat, he didn't want to get into trouble and refused the kindness of the eldest lord to help, but now that he sees that the eldest lord and Lian Er have been promoted, the second master of Zheng has no idea in his heart?
This is also a standard hypocrisy, naturally he will not think that it is his fault, but will only put the responsibility on the eldest master, and he may not know how many times he has scolded the eldest lord in his heart.
At present, the eldest master and the second master are just face-saving, what else does Jia's mother say that the family is lively, and the small people outside dare not make a move on Rongguo Mansion?
It's too simple, or the old lady knows it in her heart, but that's what she says!
"Congratulations to Big Brother for his promotion again!"
Jia Zheng congratulated him seriously, but he always felt that something was wrong, and his face was too serious, are you congratulating?
Mrs. Wang followed with a smirk, looking like she was smiling but not smiling, and she had no sincerity at all.
Never mind!
The eldest man didn't want to be everyone's favorite silver, so he smiled and went to a chair, looked around and didn't see the maid in the room, and asked directly: "What does the old lady have to say?" ”
"There's nothing to order, I just don't understand how you became a magistrate, boss, how did you become a magistrate, is there any reason for that?"
Jia Mu put away the smile on her face and asked directly: "Is it difficult, there is no place for you in Jingzhong?" ”
That's what it was!
The eldest lord suddenly smiled and said: "The officialdom in Beijing is a radish and a pit, and it is not a triennial year, it is not appropriate for me to go to any yamen, and besides, Tongzhou is subordinate to the Shuntian Mansion, which is not an ordinary place, right?" ”
Without waiting for Jia's mother to continue to ask, he burned the fire on Jia Zheng, and said with a smile: "If the second child is willing to go to the local area to practice, I am afraid that a five-grade prefect is indispensable, or a local parent official, it is much stronger than nesting in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, I don't know if the second child has the idea of going to the local experience?" ”
Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I think the Ministry of Industry Yamen is very good, so I won't bother with Brother Labor......"
