Jia Lian looked at Jia Chen's dark phoenix eyes, and felt more and more that this cousin was deep and wise, with a calm bearing, and he was definitely not a thing in the pool.

Although Jia Chen did not say it explicitly, Jia Lian estimated that Jia Chen must have a plan, and he only needs to act according to the plan.

After about two sticks of incense, Jia Lian and the servants transported all the ledgers to the wake hall in a carriage.

Jia Chen asked the servants to move the two large beds back above the cellar.

"Second Brother Lian, there are two beds here, tonight, let's sleep here!"

"Good!" Jia Lian had this intention, digging up so many treasures, if he didn't stay by his side, he would definitely not be able to sleep.

Even if the treasure is now in the cellar under the bed, Jia Lian can't sleep over and over, suffering from gains and losses in his heart, sometimes thinking about how to spend this huge amount of money, and sometimes worrying that the money will be snatched away by the old lady and the second room.

Jia Chen, on the other hand, was calm and relaxed, and soon fell asleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, Jia Chen asked people to call Jin Cai and his family to the wake hall.

Jia Lian was sleeping in a daze, and when he heard that Jin Cai and his wife were coming, he couldn't sleep anymore, so he sat up vigilantly, his thin lips were pursed, his face was tight, and his hands were clutching the edge of the bed, preventing Jin Cai and his wife from opening the bed and snatching Jia's mother's private money.

When Jia Chen saw this scene, he couldn't help but want to laugh and comforted:

"Second Brother Lian, don't be nervous, Jin Cai and his family are just slaves of our Jia family, they definitely don't dare to rob openly, and after today, they won't even have the intention of stealing."

Hearing this, Jia Lian's mind calmed down a little, and listening to the voice-over of Jia Chen's words, it seemed that he had already figured out how to hold the death hole of the Jin Cai couple.

After that, Jin Cai and his family were taken into the wake hall by the little girl.

As soon as the two of them entered the room, Jia Chen suddenly slapped the table next to the bed and shouted:

"Come on, tie up these two slaves who are full of selfish pockets and greedy for Mo's family wealth!"

As soon as the words fell, four small guys rushed over from both sides and knocked Jin Cai and his wife to the ground.

Jin Cai and his wife were so frightened that their faces turned pale, confused, frightened and frightened, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

"Drag these two Diao slaves out to play twenty boards first!"

Jia Chen's shout made Jin Cai, who was so frightened, come back to his senses in an instant.

"Uncle Chen, spare your life! The old bones of our old couple can't help beating. ”

Jia Chen said sharply: "Then you will honestly explain, why do you want to fill your own pockets and steal the property of the public school?" ”

"Wronged! We are all honest people, how dare we do such a rebellious thing? ”

Jin Cai cried out with a crying voice, but a pair of cloudy old eyes peeked under the bed from time to time, and his eyes flashed with panic and suspicion that could not be concealed, obviously worried that Jia Chen would find the treasure buried under the bed.

Jia Chen sneered, picked up an account book, threw it at Jin Cai's face, and scolded angrily:

"Then let me ask you, why is this account wrong?"

In fact, one of the important reasons why Jia Chen wanted to seize the old lady's private money hidden in the wake hall was that the old lady handed over the power of the Jia family to Jia Zheng and his family.

Jia Zheng's wife, Mrs. Wang, is likely to be behind the murder of Lin Daiyu.

Jia Chen naturally didn't want Mrs. Wang to continue to be the head of the Rong Mansion and have the conditions to assassinate Lin Daiyu.

Dai Quan has sent Lin Daiyu north to return to Beijing, as long as Lin Daiyu continues to stay in Rongfu, she will be threatened by Mrs. Wang.

Only by depriving Mrs. Wang of the power of the house can she weaken her ability to murder Lin Daiyu.

Taking away the old lady's private money hidden in Jinling was the first step for Jia Chen to design and seize the power of the housekeeper of the Rong Mansion.

Jia Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, not to mention whether Mrs. Wang had assassinated Lin Daiyu, and whether Jia Zheng participated in the planning of the poisoning, if the housekeeper power of Rongguo Mansion was allowed to fall into the hands of Jia Zheng, then the Jia family would inevitably be robbed in the end.

Because although Jia Zheng seems to be serious and upright, he is actually a mediocre talent who lacks management ability.

Moreover, he didn't know anyone, raised a group of Qing guests who ate and drank together, and helped the sinister and shameless Jia Yucun many times, and let his family do ridiculous things.

The most important thing is that he didn't know how to be an official at all, and he repeatedly showed loyalty to the emperor, which attracted the emperor's jealousy and resentment, and finally led to the tragic ending of the defeat of the Jia family.

Of course, Jia Yu is not a good thing.

But now, he can only help Jia Yu take back the power of the housekeeper first, and then strive to hold the real power of Jiafu into his own hands later.

Thinking of this, Jia Chen asked in a deep voice:

"Jin Cai, let me ask you! Why is this account wrong? ”

In fact, Jia Chen didn't look at the account books at all, but he expected that there was a problem with the accounts.

Hearing this, Jin Cai's eyes suddenly trembled, and his face showed panic.

Since the treasures hidden in the wake hall were Jia's mother's private money, Jin Cai did not record these treasures in the accounts.

In other words, these private money are equivalent to Jia's mother's own private treasury outside the Jia family's public account.

The source of these private money was stolen by the Jin Cai couple from the Jia family's sacrificial field output, store rent, Zhuangzi harvest and other income, and came from it privately.

In other words, Jia's mother, the biggest family member in Rongfu, secretly instigated the Jin Cai couple to do things that hurt the public and private interests.

Now, in front of the ironclad account book, Jin Cai is poor in reasoning and has no way to refute it, so he has to confess in a timely manner:

"Uncle Chen, in fact, these treasures are the old lady's private money, and the little one is not interested in concealing the old lady's private property, but because he is afraid that Uncle Chen and Second Master Lian will be young and vigorous, poke out the basket, and the old lady will know about it.

In fact, it's not just small, some people in Jinling's ancestral house also know about it, but who dares to say it in the open? ”

Jin Cai's face was sad and his voice was bitter.

In fact, buying private property behind the back of the clan is equivalent to stealing, which belongs to one of the "seven outs".

"Seven outs" is the standard reason for men to divorce their wives in ancient times, referring to: disobedience to parents, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, evil diseases, excessive speech, and theft.

Now, Jia's mother's husband, that is, Jia Daishan, the former prince of the country, has returned to the west, and no one divorces his wife for him, but Jia's mother still wants her old face, so she naturally doesn't dare to speak out about her private money.

In other words, even if Jia Chen, together with Jia Yu and Jia Lian's father and son, took away Jia's mother's private money, Jia's mother did not dare to investigate in a big way, so she could only break her teeth and swallow blood.

Since Jia Lian was involved in this matter, it was natural that Jia Lian couldn't hide it.

In fact, the reason why Jia Chen wanted to pull Jia Yu and Jia Lian to seize the old lady's private money together was because Jia Chen was only a brother of the distant house of the Rong Mansion and could not meddle in the affairs of the ancestral house of Jinling, and Jia Yu and Jia Lian were the big houses of the Rong Mansion and had this power.

Seeing that Jin Cai had "confessed", Jia Chen smiled indifferently and said:

"Second Brother Lian, you go and report to the eldest uncle."

Jia Lian was a little reluctant, but as a son of man, he couldn't deceive his parents, and he could only tell the truth.

When Jia Lian came out of the wake hall, Jia Chen chased him out, and when he saw that there was no one around, he said softly:

"Second Brother Lian, you sent a letter to the Rong Mansion in Shenjing City, saying that the eldest uncle is terminally ill, and I am afraid that time is running out, and we need to prepare for the future as soon as possible."

Jia Lian's eyes widened in astonishment, and he said:

"My father is actually just pretending to be sick, why do you want to claim that my father is seriously ill and dying?"

Jia Chen said:

"Although we have found out the old lady's private money, but after the old lady knows, she will definitely ask us for it, I have come up with a plan to make the old lady unable to claim this money, I asked you to send a letter, is the first step to implement this plan."
