Chapter 22: Three Sessions
"What kind of evidence, I will deal with it impartially."
Jia Mu glanced at Jia Cong, and said, "Brother Cong, you have been a lot smarter recently.
You know, if you frame your sister-in-law for no reason, I will definitely not forgive! β
After Jia Mu finished speaking, she moved her body, leaned on the soft couch pillow, stared directly, and her tone added a bit of sternness.
Jia Cong said calmly: "Grandson knows!" I have my own conclusive human and physical evidence here - but I don't know if Lian's second sister-in-law dares to testify in court? β
After that, he didn't wait for Wang Xifeng to react.
Jia Cong arched his hand at Jia's mother and continued: "Old lady, my grandson has been going to the bookstore to buy books from time to time recently, but I accidentally found that three people often wandered at the door outside the house, and my grandson came forward to talk a few times.
learned that the three of them were forced by Lian's second sister-in-law's Yin Ziqian to break up their families, but they were afraid of the power of the Wang family and had no way to ask for help.
The grandson came to ask for grievances today, not only because of the misappropriation and deduction of the second sister-in-law, but also for the reputation of our house. β
That's what you have to say, no matter how you fight openly and secretly in Jiafu, how you steal the ashes and steal the little uncle.
In front of outsiders and clansmen, they all want to be faced, which is the so-called "clear reputation".
Jia Mu is also the most face-conscious person.
What a high-sounding word!
Wang Xifeng's Danfeng eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, the evil qi rippled to the eyelids, the powder face was full of spring power, and the Dan lips were not smiling.
In a joking tone, he said: "The body is not afraid of the shadow, and the feet are not afraid of the crooked shoes, so the ancestor called me to help my aunt steward."
Brother Cong said this, didn't he also say that the ancestors had no vision and chose someone like me who didn't know how to be polite? β
Sister Feng said skillfully, and immediately moved Jia's mother out as a shield to divert the center of the topic.
Wang Xifeng's eloquent mouth is indeed extraordinary.......
Jia Cong shook his head secretly in his heart, these were all expected by him.
"Hahaha!"
The old lady just liked the Feng girl's pleasing mouth and smiled slanderously.
Jia Mu's mood also changed a little, and said, "Okay, since you understand the consequences, you insist on having evidence."
The girl also said that she was acting correctly and sitting upright, so you can show me the evidence, and I will come to the case again today. β
Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she stopped her mouth and pinched the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand.
Mrs. Xing saw the opportunity and took advantage of this to interject and say a few words: "If Brother Cong is framed for no reason, I will discipline him well."
Jia Mu glanced at her lightly, took in everything, and did not speak.
Jia Cong was prepared for a long time, and when Jia's mother nodded, she turned back to the door.
shouted that Tie Niu brought the deed of Gao Fuquan, Jin Xicai, and Tian Youfu over.
The three of them hesitated outside the back door of Rongguo Mansion, not daring to follow in.
Jia Cong dragged three documents with both hands and handed them to Jia Mu, who was on the first seat.
Jia Mu frowned slightly, and a pair of old eyes followed the line of sight.
I saw that the signature on the back of the document really had the word "Laiwang", and it was also accompanied by a handprint.
This time.
The old lady's face suddenly fell: "Feng girl, Brother Cong is right, the deed clearly states three points of profit."
However, it is not known how much it will be collected....... There is also a fang on top that is doing middle insurance. β
Mrs. Xing sneered.
Madame Wang's hand turning the sandalwood beads froze.
Jia Cong's eyes were calm, and he watched the next play quietly.
He knows Wang Xifeng's temperament very well, even if the evidence is in front of him at this moment, she will never admit it.
Not surprisingly, this phoenix spicy man is going to play the drama of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and he will use the Wang couple as the back-pot man.
Everyone present probably didn't know this sister-in-law better than him, who was delicate and had a knife in her smile.
But it doesn't matter, he has countless back-ups.
........
........
This kind of thing is usury, which is the most immoral and harmful.
Although borrowing money is something you want me to do, no one will force you.
However, once the interest rate of lending exceeds the legal regulations, it will not only affect economic circulation.
The silver of the white flowers is shelved by the wealthy, and it will even affect social stability.
As long as the imperial court is not stupid, it will have strict laws and regulations on "lending".
However, many of the laws of the feudal dynasty were actually very binding and implemented.
Wang Xifeng took advantage of the power of his uncle "Wang Ziteng", even if he wrote three points of profit on the document.
In private, they forced Gao Fuquan and the three of them to pay eight cents of silver, did they dare to sue the official?
Can't!
In the Dream of Red Mansions, "Wang Xifeng" took over the lawsuit in the name of Wang Ziteng, and there were not many things that lacked morality.
She conspired privately with the old nun of Shuiyue Nunnery, and a letter was sent to Chang'an County.
forced the son of a certain garrison to death, Wang Xifeng easily got thousands of taels of silver!
Wang Xifeng instigated Zhang Hua to file a complaint, and in the name of Wang Ziteng, he handed over a letter and sent the money to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the official would naturally act according to her wishes.
After using Zhang Hua, Wang Xifeng turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and he was killed when he changed hands.
How innocent?! What a crime?!
Xue Pan killed Feng Yuan in Jinling, but he was still at large, relying on the power of the officials of the four major families to protect each other.
Jia Yucun, who was the prefect of Tianfu at the time, was even more of an improper official and a real villain.
There is no king's law, favoritism, and disregard for human life!
refers to Wang Xifengβ Xue Pan, β Jia Yucun, this kind of poisonous woman, corrupt official, and evil youth.
But if there is one less, there will be more peace and justice in the world.
Throughout Wang Xifeng's life, he has only done two good deeds:
One is to treat Grandma Liu well.
The second is to treat Xing Xiuyan well.
The black on her body is black, and the white is white, so there is no need to wash it.
If it's black, you can't erase it, and if it's white, there's no need to discredit it.
In general, Wang Xifeng does far more evil than good, and black is far more white than white.
It stands to reason that what others do has nothing to do with Jia Cong, after all, there are inexhaustible wicked people in the world.
But the fundamental situation at the moment is that this woman has bullied him!
ο½ο½ο½ο½
Wang Xifeng's Danfeng eyes showed a shrewd and sharp light, and he kept looking at the three deeds.
When Jia Mu said this, her heart was worried for a moment, her mind was racing, and she immediately had a countermeasure to distinguish and shirk.
The eight-cent interest she secretly collected, that is, she lent out one or two pieces of silver, and collected eight cents of interest from the borrower every month.
In the second month, one or two or eight dollars will be turned into a fee, and it will be charged at eight tenths...... The bigger the principal, the longer it lasts, and the more you earn.
If it is a reasonable and legal way to obtain wealth, Jia Mu will not say much, and at the end of the day, the big family will not rely on power to accumulate wealth?
The servant of the housekeeper/steward will more or less privately share some idle silver in his daily affairs, not to mention others.
But Wang Xifeng's matter is very different, Jiafu has always paid attention to face.
If the misappropriation of the silver in the public and the eight cents of the silver harms others, it is true.
Wang Xifeng's housekeeping power will be shaken, and Jia Mu will not be old and confused no matter how partial.
Some things are red lines that cannot be touched.
Wang Xifeng was already hating this little uncle at this time, gritting his teeth.
met the scrutinizing gaze of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
Sister Feng bit her red lips tightly, and suddenly knelt down, looking aggrieved with teary eyes: "Old lady, the signature and painting on the deed are all from Laiwang, this is one of them."
Second: Lai Wang's family has been doing things with me, and it is inevitable that there will be evil acts under my banner, how can Brother Cong conclude that I am the party? My sister-in-law didn't know where she offended Brother Cong, why did she frame me like this!
Third: The old lady and the second wife know better than me, just like Jiao Da in the East Mansion, who saved the master once, and even the master dared to scold.
Not to mention the subordinates of the Western Mansion, the gatekeepers, the night guards, the storehouses, and the kitchens....... There are hundreds of people in total, and there must be some loopholes that cannot be managed.
The relationship between them is complicated, either with this master or with that master, so there are always things that I missed.
Please also ask the ancestors to learn clearly, if this kind of thing can not be the Laiwang couple making their own assertions - doing it in private? β
Wang Xifeng is worthy of being born with Hollywood acting skills, and her explanation of her sadness and true feelings.
It really made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang gullible for the most part, and they were relieved one after another.
Wang Xifeng is not only favored by Jia's mother, but also her most trusted and hand-picked housekeeper.
Mother Jia looked at Jia Cong, and said with a little displeasure in her heart: "Brother Cong'er, look at it, it turns out that you misunderstood your sister-in-law, why don't you quickly make amends and receive punishment?"
Yinzi money is not a glorious thing, just drive the Laiwang couple out horizontally and vertically, and this matter will stop.
Speaking of which, Brother Cong is also for the sake of the reputation of the house, if you admit your mistake to Feng Yatou, I will not punish you heavily. β
Hehe, I knew that Wang Xifeng would play such a trick, but it's a pity...... It wasn't his purpose to get rid of the Laiwang couple.
Jia Cong's purpose is to completely remove Wang Xifeng's power as the big housekeeper, is the old lady pretending to be confused, or is she really confused?
At all costs.
Jia Cong will not stop at this, otherwise Wang Xifeng will secretly make him a stumbling block.
He said: "Ancestor, my grandson thinks that this move is unfair, you must know that the Laiwang couple are the henchmen of Lian's second sister-in-law.
And my sister-in-law is just one-sided now, isn't it a presumptuous conclusion?"
Jia Cong's convincing words fell, and Jia Mu fell silent.
Indeed it is.
Even if Wang Xifeng is reasonable, he can't determine whether it is true or not.
After pondering for a moment, Jia Mu said, "Then according to you, how do you think it is a judgment?" β
"Back to the old lady, it was the second sister-in-law of Lian's who came to the Wang family, and everyone in the mansion knew it, and the sister-in-law was ruthless, wouldn't it be suspicious of letting them go to court to testify?
Lian's second sister-in-law glared at them, and she was afraid that she would be so frightened that she would never dare to tell the truth again, worried that she would be punished afterwards, the old lady wanted to see the truth, and her grandson had a coincidence.
Just call a few girls/mothers-in-law and little girls to ask in private, and remember to only ask secretly.
In this way, they don't have to worry about retaliation, isn't it clear whether the second sister-in-law of Lian has embezzled the money in the public school? β
Jia Cong's tone was calm, and he finished speaking word by word, and then stepped aside again and stood silently, extremely calm.
Mrs. Xing's eyes rolled, and when she saw that the time had come, she interjected and smiled: "Aunt Zhao is a person who dares to tell the truth, why didn't the old lady call her over and ask?"
If Aunt Zhao is also messing around, isn't there still Aunt Zhou here? The monthly silver of them and the girls is under the control of the Feng girl.
If Feng Yatou really embezzled the official bank, it was really illegal, old lady, I, as a mother-in-law, also have unshirkable dereliction of responsibility. β
Under Mrs. Xing's god-level mending knife, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng suddenly changed color!
Jia Mu glanced at Jia Cong, then looked at Mrs. Xing again, and was undecided for a while.
Jia's mother is still a relatively enlightened old man, so let Sanchun get along/study together can be seen.
But she is overly doting on the big-faced treasure, which leads to Jia Baoyu's weak personality and lack of progress/cowardice and incompetence.
In other words.
Jia's mother is a typical hedonist, her grandchildren have become silver sticks, gamblers, as long as they don't come to disturb her Qingfu pleasures, she will not interfere.
Aside from Bao Dai and the others, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng are also the most satisfied with her.
In this era, it is the mainstream concept of being a door-to-door person, even today, there is no shortage of examples, Jia's mother is the concubine of the Houmen of the historian.
Shi Jiazu Shangguan to Baoling Marquis "Shangshu Ling", Baoling Marquis is a title.
Shang Shuling, the prime minister equivalent to the number one civilian official, was once held by Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty.
At present, although no one in the historian is an official in the court, a double marquis, a Baoling marquis, and a loyal marquis are still prominent.
Therefore, Jia's mother is from a beautiful background, and from the bottom of her heart, she has a certain degree of discrimination and rejection against Jia Cong/Jia Huan born to slaves.
Naturally, Wang Xifeng also had the intention of shielding, but he just didn't say it.
But even so, Jia Cong is doing it step by step, and what he says today is reasonable.
Jia Mu can no longer continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, stay out of the matter, and must come up with a judgment.
And this kind of situation was actually created by this eleven-year-old concubine boy.
Jia Mu's complicated feelings of hesitation and indecision at the moment can be imagined.
However, she is also the one who came step by step from the housekeeper's daughter-in-law.
suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and specially ordered the mandarin duck to send Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou to come over to testify.
These two are Jia Zheng's partial concubines, Aunt Zhao is ridiculous and nonsense, she has no brains, and Aunt Zhou is doing her duty.
ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½
Not much.
Aunt Zhao came dressed in bright clothes, wearing an orchid background with broken leaves, and a peach-colored flower between her temples.
Her face was so beautiful that it was hard to tell that she was a woman who had given birth to two children.
Aunt Zhao lifted the curtain and came in to ask for peace, so she knelt down for a long time, wiped her tears with a handkerchief and cried: "Old lady, I can testify that Grandma Lian is really majestic."
Not only did she delay the distribution of the monthly silver without permission, but she also embezzled the money in the public and put the money outside, if the old lady didn't believe it, she could ask other people. β
Aunt Zhou caught a glimpse of Wang Xifeng's eyes from time to time, and her heart was immediately afraid, so she had to whisper: "I don't know if there is any misappropriation."
However, it is true that there is a delay in the timing of the monthly payment of the silver every month. β
Aunt Zhao's graphics card is obviously not enough to burn, and she doesn't know that she was used as a gun by the old woman of Daguanyuan in the original book.
Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng were all extremely disgusted with her, and Jia Cong didn't have much hope for Aunt Zhao.
It's just adding fuel to the fire, and the stupid and brainless Aunt Zhao is dissatisfied with Aunt Zhou's cowardly and timid nature.
With a big mouth open on his own, he spat everywhere and talked nonsense without concealment.
Who wanted to, but was immediately scolded and retreated by Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Zhou pursed her lips and silently withdrew.
Jia Mu waved her hand a little tiredly: "Okay, it's not okay to always pass the buck in this matter."
There should be a foregone conclusion, Brother Cong, don't worry, I won't favor anyone. β
"Thank you for your kindness, and your ancestors will be enlightened."
Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up, and then Wan Ting gave a salute, and Qiu Wei turned around, hiding his contempt and disdain for Jia Cong in the bottom of his heart.
smiled like a flower: "Ancestor, I don't complain about Brother Cong, I just want a judgment." β
Heh, just want to finish it so perfunctory?
Wouldn't I be drawing water with a bamboo basket today?
Jia Cong sneered at the corner of his mouth, and directly changed the topic: "Please also ask the old lady to know it, but ....... The three people who borrowed the money from the seal.
I'm afraid that unlike other families, they would rather fight to the death, but also write a piece of pleadings and go to the yamen to sue Lian's second sister-in-law........"
"What?"
Wang Xifeng's smile froze, and his bright face finally became a little melancholy.
If she is sued, the reputation that the Jia family has been working so hard to maintain is tarnished, what kind of face-saving housekeeper does she have?
Jia Mu's face changed and said, "Where are you going to sue?" β
"Suncheonfu!"
Jia Cong glanced at Wang Xifeng and replied lightly.
....... Dividing line .........
