Chapter 16: Meet Jia Lian

Before arriving in Yangzhou, there were no more murders on the ship, which seemed to reflect Jia Rui's nonsense, and the evil was led away by the Taoist priest.

Lin Daiyu still plays her good girl during the day, the only thing that is a little puzzling is that there is an extra cat by her side, a white and particularly docile cat, no matter how Lin Daiyu treats it, she will not resist.

Jia Rui couldn't tell if it was a real cat, but he guessed that it was Xiugoth, the Xiugoth who played Wang Xifeng in "The Treasure of the Wind and the Moon", the Xiugoth who didn't have his own intelligence at all.

He found that even without the confinement and control of the "Fengyue Treasure Book", Lin Daiyu could still easily control Xiugus and let it change its form to hide itself.

What scared Jia Rui even more was that Lin Daiyu kept approaching him, such an existence stayed by his side, maybe something would happen at any time, or the kind that would kill someone as soon as something happened, and most of them were others who lost their lives, and she was fine.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is nothing, they have been in contact before, and discuss some things that other people don't understand, and say that they can make money from this, and it is natural for the two to talk about something together now.

Even Jia Lian thinks that this is normal, although he is not very optimistic, of course, as long as the newspaper is written about some powerful people's affairs, he will buy it, if it is written about some unsightly things, then he may buy every issue. If it's all Lin Daiyu's poetry and songs, he won't be interested.

The money is not a problem, the question is whether the above things can arouse his interest, Jia Lian feels that even if it is sold a little more expensive, it will be accepted.

Jia Rui, who was discussing the newspaper with Lin Daiyu, was not thinking about this at all, he wanted to escape, but every time he saw Lin Daiyu, he couldn't help but please her, and he couldn't help but like her.

Jia Rui knew that there was no way to escape from Lin Daiyu on the ship, the ship was so big, he had no way to run, even if he stayed with those lowest-level sailors, Lin Daiyu would send Xiugus to find him.

Jia Rui, who was pestered by Lin Daiyu, found that although his action this time was planned and then moved, he still failed, and he wanted to leave the earthquake caused by Qin Keqing's death, but now he found an indescribable existence and entangled him.

He thought that if he didn't come, he wouldn't have anything to do with Lin Daiyu, after all, Lin Daiyu lived in the backyard of Rongguo Mansion, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn't go in, unless something big happened, there were many people at that time, and he wouldn't be entangled by Lin Daiyu, this time he sent it to the door purely by himself.

During the day, Lin Daiyu looked like everything was normal, but at night she always sent Xiugus to find Jia Rui, Lin Daiyu didn't let Jia Rui do anything bad, just teased him and made him panic.

Jia Rui speculated that this situation should be due to the fact that Lin Daiyu's real body was the heir of Nyarrathotep, and the actions of this being most of the time were unpredictable, even the outer gods had no way of knowing his intentions, and even his methods were often somewhat contradictory.

In addition, in Jia Rui's observation, he found that anyone who approaches Lin Daiyu will like her, Jia Rui thinks that this should be regarded as a kind of passive magic, which will increase the favorability of all people close to her, and once she leaves, she will disappear, even if she is threatened by her, every time she approaches her, she will forget those unpleasantness and have a good impression of her.

Relying on Lin Daiyu's interest in Jia Rui, the boat came to Yangzhou safely, Lin Ruhai did not come to pick up people in person, but just sent people to pick up Lin Daiyu.

Jia Lian and Jia Rui followed him to Lin Mansion, Jia Rui had no position to speak, and being able to sit in the hall and drink tea was considered to elevate his status, and Jia Lian did everything to hand over to Lin Ruhai.

Jia Rui secretly observed Lin Ruhai when he was drinking tea, and he found that Lin Ruhai didn't look like he was sick, and what was more interesting was that Lin Ruhai obviously didn't welcome the Jia family in his conversation with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian finally took people to live in the old mansion in Jinling, and at this time Jia Rui found that he had become Jia Lian's subordinate, had to take care of many things, and commanded the servants of the Jia family.

Jia Rui is the master here, Jia Lian looks for flowers all day long and asks Liu about anything, and those things that need to be decided by the master are handed over to him.

But the servants who came from Kyoto didn't listen to Jia Rui at all, they knew in their hearts that Jia Rui was not their master, and they didn't even have the right to Lai Da and Lai Er when they returned to Kyoto, and Jia Rui didn't have any money to reward them, and there was no benefit to Jia Rui at all.

Jia Rui not only has to work, but also prepares silver for Jia Lian, fortunately, there is a lot of land here, and there is no shortage of silver.

He didn't make a strong effort to rectify it, but called people separately, and began to deceive and intimidate these people with Jia Lian's tiger power, making them bribe, and blowing up a lot of silver, but it was not much compared to their greed for ink.

Jia Rui didn't slap the group to death, because if he did, he would be too busy to kill them, and now he didn't have the manpower to take over the removal of these moths.

In addition, Jia Lian spends money like water, without the support of these people, it is difficult for him to come up with the money that can satisfy Jia Lian in a short time, and when Jia Lian returns to Kyoto and says at home that he is not doing well, then it will be difficult for him to start a newspaper in Kyoto.

He didn't give Jia Lian the silver that Jia Rui received, and Jia Lian's servants knew about it and told Jia Lian. Jia Rui was called to Jia Lian to ask about it.

Jia Rui looked at the few small people around him and frowned, he said to Jia Lian: "Let them all leave, they should not know about this matter, it is easy to leak the news if they know." ”

Jia Lian looked at Jia Rui for a long time, he thought about whether Jia Rui would do anything to drive everyone away, and then felt that he should be able to beat Jia Lian alone, so he dismissed a few guys around him.

Seeing that the people around him were gone, Jia Rui whispered to Jia Lian: "They bribed me because they were greedy for our silver, and I found out." ”

As soon as Jia Lian finished speaking, he was furious, and Jia Rui hurriedly continued: "Don't worry, there is a reason why I don't move them. ”

"You say." Jia Lian originally thought that Jia Rui was blackmailing those people, but now he knows that it was those people who bribed Jia Rui.

"They are deeply ingrained here, and even if we drive people out, we will not be able to get back their greedy silver, and if we kill them, it will really disappear." Jia Rui took a sip of tea and continued.

"Now the money they bribe me is not as much as one-twelfth of what they are greedy for, and we won't get much back until we leave, and if we really replace them now, we will only let the newcomers continue to be greedy for ink.

We went back with the account books, mobilized relations, and told those officials and masters that the silver they got back would be increased by twenty-one to five, and one person and half, and they would dig out all the silver that these minions were greedy for.

When the time comes, just send some trustworthy people to manage it.

Now if we start it directly, not to say that we can't get the money back, and there will be no money to spend in the next few days, can you deal with this? Do you want to get stuck in these things? ”

Jia Rui even explained and frightened, so that Jia Lian was not angry, but he said to Jia Rui: "Then you have to divide half of the silver with me." ”

"Give it to you and go back and be accepted by Sister Feng, it's better to let me go, maybe I can make some money after running a newspaper." Jia Rui seduced.

Jia Lian thought about it and heard Lin Daiyu and Jia Rui's ideas when he was on the boat, he didn't believe in Jia Rui's ability, in order to get a guarantee, he asked Jia Rui to write him an IOU when he returned to Kyoto.

Jia Rui was extremely reluctant in his heart, this is Chiguoguo's blackmail. (Proper double standard, you can blackmail others, you can't be blackmailed)

But he still agreed, if he wanted to start a newspaper, he really needed some capital, but Jia Lian didn't take it all.

Jia Lian is actually not very greedy for the silver in Jia Rui's hand, and now he has endless silver, but he has to be restrained when he goes back, and Kyoto's spending money is controlled by Sister Feng, and a little silver is not bad here in Jia Rui.

The key is what Jia Rui said, the way to deal with these deceitful Diao slaves, Jia Rui gave him a rough number, that number made him look down on Jia Rui's bit of fragmentation, if this thing is done, the Jia family can have a large amount of input, and at the same time Jia Rui can also get a good reputation, after all, finding out that Diao Nu deceived the upper and lower also shows his ability.
