Chapter 24 The Lai family is sad
After a busy day, the messy yard has been sorted out and largely restored to its original appearance.
At this point, it was late at night, and most people were already resting.
The door of Lai's house, which had been closed for a day, was quietly opened.
Jia Yu personally led six carriages full of silver out of the mansion and disappeared into the darkness, followed by twenty elite men.
After a while, the convoy returned, and the carriages became thirteen.
After a few more tosses, I finally finished transporting all the silver.
Jia Yu left 10,000 taels of silver, and ten hardcover men who were willing to follow Jia Cong.
The operation was completely over.
He did not contribute in vain, but he got this big mansion, more than forty servants, and all the furnishings, as well as miscellaneous goods, a Zhuangzi of six thousand acres of fertile land, and a grocery store.
Since then, I have also owned a car and a house, or six cars and a mansion.
Jia Cong used this day to talk with the housekeeper and a group of servants one by one, to understand everyone's situation and see if there were any special skills.
In addition to the steward, there were six housekeepers, two who kept horses, who kept six horses, two who drove the chariots, and the groom who used the carts too much, a carpenter, who was responsible for the maintenance of the carriages, and a steward who managed the storehouse in the front yard.
The housekeeper is responsible for taking care of everything in the front yard, helping to manage the business in the house, and he also knows a little about the grocery store, and he also knows that when he goes to the yamen tomorrow and finishes all the households, he will go to his own territory to have a look and officially take over.
Through the housekeeper, he also learned everything about the entire Lai Mansion, which made Jia Cong realize that he had really made a big profit.
The things in the warehouse, Jia Yu couldn't look at it, basically didn't move, the housekeeper took Jia Cong to see it, it was full of some daily necessities for food and clothing, as well as some decorations.
Most of these are from Jiafu, and these things alone are worth nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and there are 20,000 taels of silver stored in the warehouse, which is this year's income, and it is almost the end of the year, and it has just been delivered.
Jia Yu didn't know about these, and even the Lai family didn't know for the time being, and the housekeeper wouldn't report it until the end of the year, which happened to be cheaper than Jia Cong.
This housekeeper's name is Zhang Fu, in his forties, and he is a relatively shrewd person at first glance, and after talking to him, I found that this person still has some ability.
In addition, he concealed the 20,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as a great achievement, and let him continue to be a housekeeper, and leave the affairs of the front yard to him to manage.
There is also a large kitchen in the house, with two cooks and two assistant cooks, who are in charge of the whole large kitchen.
The backyard was temporarily handed over to Yanhong to take care of, and Qingwen assisted her.
There are a total of 26 maids and mothers-in-law in the backyard, and they don't come to live by themselves, and these people are basically useless, that is, cleaning and cleaning the courtyard.
Lai's grandmother's yard, Lai's family's yard, Lai Sheng's family's yard, Jia Yu only moved the silver and antiques, and the other things are still there, and they need to be cleaned up again and counted.
This matter will be handed over to Yanhong and Qingwen, and these maids and mothers-in-law will be led to do it.
When this matter is settled, let the extra maids and mothers-in-law make soap.
After all the arrangements were made, Jia Cong came to the room where Lai Shangrong was held alone, and Lai Shangrong at this time no longer had the previous flying and domineering.
When he saw Jia Cong, there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and then he said with a flattering face: "Young Master Cong, in the past, I was a dog who looked down on people and offended the young master, and I also asked Young Master Cong not to remember the villain, let me go, I will definitely be a cow and a horse to repay Young Master Cong in the future." ”
Jia Cong smiled, he didn't believe a word of this kid's words, he didn't expect to be quite aware of current affairs, and took the initiative to put down his body and beg, thinking that when he saw him, he would threaten and intimidate himself and let him go, it doesn't seem that he is stupid.
"It's not impossible to let you go, it depends on whether you have value or not, and those who have no value will be sent to the mine tomorrow for mining."
However, seeing Lai Shangrong's dejected appearance, he didn't have any hope, he directly rolled up his sleeves, beat him violently, let out a bad breath, laughed and went out.
Then, he visited Lai Da alone, and Lai Sheng, after a friendly exchange, accompanied by bursts of shocking screams, Jia Cong got his wish and left satisfied.
Of course, he didn't leave empty-handed, he got some evidence from Lai Da from his second aunt, Mrs. Wang, who embezzled and transferred the finances of Rongguo Mansion Gongzhong, and bills, which Lai Da handled for her.
also got some evidence of Jia Zhen's crime from Lai Sheng, as well as a secret compartment that was not discovered, which contained some treasures stolen from Ning Guofu and several treasures given by the emperor.
Jia Cong didn't rush to see it, these things are not visible for the time being, so let's seal them there first, and then take them out when they are useful in the future.
These two things can be said to be of little use to themselves, and they can't denounce them, so they can only stay in their hands as a backhand to deter them.
Early tomorrow morning, Jia Yu will send someone to take Mama Lai's family away, and he doesn't care what the outcome is.
Ordered Tie Zhu and Wangcai to stay, take care of them, and returned to the East Road Courtyard alone.
I went to Jia Yu first, and this old boy actually dug a cellar in the study, and was still busy hiding silver in it.
Fortunately, there are some gold and silver tickets, otherwise I really can't put it down.
"Why are you here, you're done dealing with it over there?" Jia Yu saw Jia Cong coming over and asked.
Jia Cong nodded and said: "I've arranged everything over there, found two stewards, and managed them separately, I'll get your greeting post, and I'll go to the yamen tomorrow to complete the transfer procedures." ”
"There are on the desk, you can take one yourself, I found a few good things, all of which were lost by the old lady, and with these treasures, the old lady will be able to explain them."
Jia Cong was overjoyed when he heard this, so it would save a lot of trouble, and the old lady could only acquiesce.
However, there is one more thing, what if the old lady or the second aunt, Mrs. Wang, wants to get back the Lai family's property? So what to do then? Jia Yu may not be able to stop it, and he will definitely throw me out when the time comes.
No wonder it's so generous, this is throwing the pot to me, if the old lady and the second aunt ask me to hand it over, I will definitely not be able to refuse, I can only hand it over, this old boy, it is really not a simple goods.
I made my own money, and I made a good person in vain, and I still handed over the house, if I hadn't asked for an extra grange and a shop, as well as the 10,000 taels of silver, I would have worked in vain.
Fortunately, I also have a back hand, and if the second aunt insists on letting me cut the meat, then I can't help it, so I can only dry the killer weapon out.
