1359, the road to return (37) three in one(2/3)
The heads of several houses in Jinling's hometown, who had been huddled in the corner and had never spoken to each other, stood up. They looked at each other and recommended one person to come out. This person coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then said
: "We don't know if what Mr. Zheng said is true. But if it is true, then we have nothing to say. Every house in the capital has benefited from the mother-in-law's money and efforts. This
We have paid back our capital in two years. We only have a few houses in Jinling... Most of the clan's sacrificial land was sold. At that time, it was said that it was to raise money for the queen's marriage, and it would be able to make up for it in the future. He also said that the queen is the glory of the clan.
, tell everyone to take care of the overall situation. Okay! We have to take care of the overall situation. In the past two years, the poorest people in the clan have only been working as pants. We have not seen the grace of the empress until now. When we were called this time, we thought it was finally
Thinking of the hardships we have suffered in the past two years, I am filled with joy. Who would have known that it would be like this! Split the clan! OK! We agree to split the clan! But the sacrificial field in this clan had agreed at the beginning that it would be for the leftovers.
The clan members in my hometown take care of it. Our request is not excessive, that is, the clan fields should be given to us again..."
Everyone here is whispering to each other, why does this involve the clan field again?
Has the clan land been sold?
When did this happen!
Jia Zhen shook her head repeatedly: "Back then, the two ancestors were brothers, and one person owned half of the land. Later, the population in the East Mansion was not as lush as in the West Mansion, and no one took care of it. It was handed over to the West Mansion very early.
Take care of it. Speaking of which, this is all a matter of my grandfather's generation, and my father has never interfered." The last words were meant to ask Jia Jing.
Jia Jing nodded: "It's all taken care of by Xifu."
Jia Zheng frowned and looked at Jia She: "Brother, what do you say?"
Jia She's face was full of sarcasm: "Ask me? How do I know? I am confused, different from you. You know so much about whose family has done what, how can you not know about the clan field? Is this possible?
The son comes to ask me? Just like I know the clan land! What? When something happens, you remember that I am the eldest brother? Not to mention selling the clan field, I haven’t even seen the title deed of the clan field.”
Jia Zheng's face suddenly turned pale again: "Lian'er! Tell me. You and your wife have always been in charge of the general affairs in this family, but now..."
"My nephew will never dare to admit this crime." Jia Lian knelt down with a thud: "My nephew knows about the family farmland. It was my wife who sold it. I sold it for more than 60,000 taels of silver, and my wife gave it to the Zhen family.
The fifty thousand taels of silver came from here. The rest of the money is kept by my wife."
Jia She kicked him over in a heartless manner: "You stupid fool with a lard-fat heart, how dare you hide such a big thing from me."
Jia Lian said hurriedly: "Because the matter involves the Zhen family, my wife has repeatedly asked us to keep things confidential. I thought that the master knew about it, so there was nothing wrong with it..." Then he looked at the group in Jinling: "When selling the sacrificial fields
, the empress is not the empress yet, why do you keep saying it is for the empress..."
Someone spoke over there: "I also sent someone to the mansion. I met with the second wife. The second lady said that the eldest girl was about to become a concubine. She also promised many benefits and sent the person away..."
No one in these two mansions knew that anyone from Jinling's hometown had ever visited.
Just now, Jia Zheng was talking about other people's sins, but now his own family's sins are even greater. The Wang family was already divorced by privately selling family land. What should I do if the empress's biological mother made such a big mistake?
The lobby, which was silent just now, suddenly became noisy.
"That family's land is so good. Now even if we have money, we can't buy such good land."
"Who says it's not the case? There is so much good land, even if the whole family goes back to farm, their lives will still be richer than other people's lives. What can we do now?"
Someone shouted: "It's okay to split the clan, but we have to spit out the public property that has been lost to the clan."
That's right! It has to be like this.
The fight has already ended, so now is the last chance to bite off a piece of fat, how can you miss it?
It is even said that the family farm occupies good land and is connected into a large area, which is the easiest to manage. It is easy to sell it for one hundred thousand taels of silver, but now we have to come up with one hundred thousand taels now, otherwise we will go to the Yamen to talk.
A standard rogue with bare feet and no fear of wearing shoes.
Jia She said anxiously: "Our big house has not been stained with anything in the clan. Don't come to me to collect debts. The title is mine, the home is mine, and the mansion is my mansion. If you want to use the things in the mansion to repay your private affairs,
Debt, this is absolutely impossible." After saying that, he called Jia Lian: "Lian'er, take the people and watch them. No matter who dares to open the treasury to get money, don't talk nonsense, just take the people and send them to the government.
I don’t think anyone would dare to touch the money in the house without my permission.”
Jia Lian responded, got up from the ground, and ran out quickly.
If there is any shortfall, Jia Zheng will have to go out and take it out.
Jia Zheng never expected that someone else would expose everyone's shortcomings before. If this matter is not handled well, there will be no less trouble in the future.
He closed his eyes and called Baoyu who was sitting behind him: "Go back and tell your wife to bring you one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Baoyu stood up, said yes, and then went out without saying a word.
But where are the hundred thousand taels left in this mansion?
Mrs. Wang didn't expect things to turn out like this. She asked Baoyu and Baoyu answered. She didn't answer without asking. She didn't show any spirit. There was no one to discuss such a big matter.
She wanted to call Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng was 'sick' again. Besides, even if she discussed it, she might not be able to discuss it with herself. Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, this girl Feng is really sick at the right time.
In fact, Wang Xifeng's illness was not completely fake, she was really angry. What a strong person, she let others play such a show under their noses, and she was kept in the dark like a fool.
She leaned on the couch with a leather mattress draped over her body and talked to Ping'er: "Now that I think about it, these four girls may not understand in their hearts. Her words were rude, but they really hit the point.
.She was not only trying to wake up the three girls, but also trying to wake me up. It wasn’t just what she said about kissing her again, but in reality, after all, it was a bit different."
Ping'er found a bag of unknown medicine and gave it to the little girl, and asked her to boil the medicine in the yard, just because she was afraid that no one would know that her master was ill. She turned around and said, "You'd better think of something quickly. 2.
If I really stop her like that, the old lady will have to live forever, but what should I do if I ask the second master?"
Something flashed in Wang Xifeng's eyes, and then the corners of her mouth slowly raised: "Don't send the girl there, just go by yourself, and talk about your second master in front of others, just talk about the flesh and blood of the whole family, what is your share?"
Damn it, don’t let people make a joke. I need to let people know that I am a fool. Even now, my heart is still towards the old man and his wife. When you are done with it, you can tell your second uncle that if the old lady forces you hard
Yes, just let him go, don’t stop him."
"Why is this?" Ping'er looked a little puzzled.
Wang Xifeng only sent her: "Go ahead and say that, your second master will naturally know what it means."
Ping'er came out of it, turned around and understood: What else is there in the library? Haven't the things been replaced a long time ago? It's time to let go. After today, where will the things in the library go in the future?
, it becomes increasingly unclear.
After understanding this, her pace became much faster.
We went over there and chanted and beat each other for a while, and then whispered the message to Jia Lian. Jia Lian understood and as expected, the old lady sent someone to call Jia Lian.
As soon as Jia Lian left in a hurry, Mrs. Wang asked Zhou Rui's family to go to the treasury. The money was taken care of first, and the things were taken out first, and they were pawned out, so that this incident could be fooled. Now, she didn't care about anything.
It's no longer decent.
Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang detained Jia Lian, crying and talking about this and that.
Jia Mu said that she values you wholeheartedly and leaves the housework to you and your wife. Now that you have raised a rebellious and unfilial man like me, you should follow your example.
Mrs. Wang said that you are both my nephew and my niece and son-in-law. Since you were a child, I pitied you for losing your biological mother since you were a child. I took you with me and treated you with the same heart as I treated Zhuer and Baoyu.
Each told his own grievances and merits.
Over there, Zhou Rui's family moved out more than 10,000 taels of silver. When she looked at the remaining things, she found nothing real.
Ask her how she knew?
How could she not know that the things inside were all fakes made by her son-in-law who had been stabbed a thousand times.
Knowing that the wife was waiting there, she hurried over and whispered in Mrs. Wang's ear. Mrs. Wang's expression suddenly changed. She was no longer as compassionate as before. She stared at Jia Lian and sneered repeatedly, and then looked at Jia Mu again.
She cried: "Old lady, what should I do? I only entrusted the housework to Lian'er and his wife, but I didn't want them to do such a thing. Everything in the warehouse has been replaced."
Jia Mu stood up and looked at Mrs. Wang: "What did you say?"
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears: "I don't dare to deceive the old lady anymore..." She turned to look at Zhou Rui's family: "Tell me... tell me... what is the situation in the warehouse..."
Zhou Rui's family looked at Jia Lian twice and said, "We only collected more than ten thousand taels of silver. The rest of the jade and antiques are all fake."
Jia Mu looked at Jia Lian: "You...you tell me..."
"My grandson is wronged." Jia Lian said hurriedly: "I and Feng Yatou are the housekeepers, but the key to this big warehouse is held by my wife. The keys to the things that are commonly used in the house were previously held by my grandson's wife. Don't.
The old lady told me about the crime, and my grandson admitted it. But this one crime must never be admitted."
Jia Mu gasped: "Let's go! Go and have a look! Ask Feng Yatou to come over too. Don't worry about whether you are sick or not. Even if you are sick, bring them to me."
When she saw the things in the storehouse, Jia Mu almost breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Reverse, reverse! There is a thief in the house!" She turned her face and asked Wang Xifeng who was carried in: "Girl Feng, please take a look.
, you manage the house well."
Wang Xifeng's face turned pale, and tears fell down her cheeks: "The old lady is about to unjustly accuse someone to death. Think about it, if Lian Er and I were the ones causing the trouble, how could we not panic now?
The eldest master has issued a message that no one is allowed to open the warehouse. If there is really something fishy, it is better to guard it. Why did you give Zhou Rui's family a chance and ask her to open the warehouse?" After saying that, he turned around and asked Zhou Rui's family.
, "You are following my wife, and you have seen the world. You can tell at a glance that this thing is fake, which is not surprising. But how do you know that everything in this is fake? There are so many things in the warehouse, how can you pack them away?
Get up, a dozen people may not be able to clean up neatly in half a month, but you can see the problem with just one word. Let me ask you, how did you make the decision? "
"Me?" Zhou Rui's family was speechless. Not only could he not speak, but the sweat on his head was falling.
It was for nothing else but melons and plums. The contents inside were indeed made by my son-in-law.
The one who held the key to the big warehouse was the wife, and later the housekeepers were the eldest grandma, the third girl, and Miss Bao. Miss Bao didn't do anything, but even if she did, she was also the nephew of the second wife. Everyone inside and outside here is
He is from the second house. The things he exchanged were from his son-in-law, who is staying with him. I wonder if there are any more convenient conditions than this?
Wang Xifeng knew this well, so she sneered and turned away without saying anything else: "I can't bear such a sin. It just so happens that everyone in the clan is here today, so I might as well call everyone here.
Commentary, right and wrong, let everyone come and decide!"
Mrs. Wang saw something bad and quickly called someone: "They are all dead! I don't know how to stop your grandma!"
