Chapter 153 Warning
Put Jia Xichun down and see her eating and talking to Jia Lan as if she was a little adult. She planned to have a horse riding competition in two months. Jia Huan smiled.∽↗
Then he roasted a few skewers of chicken wings and gave Li Wan and Ping'er a few skewers. After receiving a lot of thanks, he handed the rest to Wang Xifeng and said, "Second sister-in-law, are you here to pick a skewer?"
Wang Xifeng twitched the corners of her mouth, and she swallowed the swear words, and forced a string of grilled chicken wings from the porcelain plate with a smile, saying, "Thank you, my third brother."
Jia Huan raised his face, faced Wang Xifeng, and turned his back to everyone. His smile gradually faded away, and his voice was very soft, saying, "Second Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."
Wang Xifeng was slightly stunned after seeing his expression, and then smiled and said, "If you have anything to do, I will say that as long as I can use my second sister-in-law's place, don't be polite."
Jia Huan still didn't laugh. He nodded and said, "It's interesting to say that. It's only two days after I became the head of the family, a few people ran to me to complain. He said that there was actually someone in the inner family in the mansion who was laying seal money (i.e. loan shark). Second sister-in-law, putting seal money is really a bad thing that damages my good deeds and also hurts my reputation as a Jia family. I asked them carefully a few words, but they only said it was something that was heard from others, but the man dared not reveal which one was doing it by the inner house.
So, I want to ask my second sister-in-law to help me check which brave person is doing this conscience in the name of my family members in the Jia family. She destroyed more than just the reputation of my family members in the Jia family, but also the reputation of many female members in the Jia family. This matter is definitely not a trivial matter.
I originally wanted to report it directly to my ancestors and let them investigate it before they can do it. But because I had no clue yet, I pressed it down first. Then I asked my second sister-in-law, you, a powerful man, to help me check it out. If my second sister-in-law finds out which slave it was, you don’t have to be polite. No matter which master she is following, you can take it and kill it directly. If someone asks, just let her come and find me.
If it is really the one who does it, please tell me the second sister-in-law. My clan leader still has the right to open the Jia clan ancestral hall and deal with the clan rules.
I, Jia, cannot tolerate such a person, and she is also among the seven. Therefore, I would like to ask my second sister-in-law to help you with your heart."
There was no blood on Wang Xifeng's face, and her skin really reached the point where she was as frost as snow. She refused to break a piece of chicken bone in her mouth, but she continued to chew without any awareness.
Her eyes were faintly dull and fearful, and she smiled dryly, "No... I don't expect that such a villain appeared in the mansion. Third brother, don't worry, second sister-in-law will help you find out who did it."
Jia Huan finally smiled and whispered: "Second sister-in-law, don't be so annoyed. I think that person was confused for a while and didn't think too much about the consequences. So he did such a confused thing. If she knew the powerful relationship, she would definitely not do such a thing again in the future. I did not report to my ancestors directly, and I also wanted to leave a little affection for the man and leave a way to live with her. Second sister-in-law. Do you think this is the case?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng's face finally regained a little bloody color. She nodded repeatedly. A look of gratitude appeared in her eyes and said, "This is really reasonable. I think that if that person knew that the third brother was so forgiving and kind, he would definitely change his past."
Jia Huan smiled, said nothing more, nodded at Wang Xifeng, and turned around and left.
This was his last chance for Wang Xifeng. As he said, the female family in the inner house gave away money and forced the family to destroy them. It was not just her name, Wang Xifeng, but the reputation of the entire Jia family, and even the entire Jia family.
This is something that Jia Huan does not allow.
...
After having fun with the brothers and nephews in Rongguo Mansion for a day, Jia Huan returned to Ningguo Mansion when he was in darkness.
The first thing I saw was Wang Gui, who looked proud and happy.
Jia Huan also smiled. The only way to deal with peasant cunning is to fight poison with poison.
Especially when one side has such a big flaw, even if Wang Gui's own skills are a little worse than Wu Jinxiao, as long as he understands the various things inside, it will be easy to do it.
"How is it? It seems that you have achieved great success!"
After sitting down and taking a sip of tea, Jia Huan looked at Wang Gui's black face and joked.
Wang Gui laughed and said, "Third Master, we have taken over fourteen farms now..."
"Fourteen? Isn't there only eleven villages in Ningguo Mansion?"
Jia Huanqidao.
Wang Gui cursed with hatred: "Aren't they all these people who are so damn? Their annual reports have reduced production and their annual reports have not been completed. In the end, they used the output of those farms to set up three good farms for themselves."
Jia Huan was not too surprised when he heard this and said coldly.
Wang Gui continued: "Third Master, the Wu family is in the opposite direction, and the main family is over. When the subordinates are bullying the merchants, many of the merchants are messed up in chaos, and I don't know how many people complain. The old merchant dared to be stubborn at the beginning, so I told him, "You don't admit it now, right?" Then when the third master annoyed you, the old turtle grandson, sent someone to go to Heishan Village in person. You are still alive when you behead your head? Your son, your grandson's life cannot be saved, so he honestly explained."
Jia Huan looked at Wang Gui and said, "What about?"
Wang Gui stopped hearing this. He originally thought that since he had to return to the property, Jia Huan would no longer take Wu Jinxiao and others to heart, but he didn't expect Jia Huan to ask.
Wang Gui smiled apologized and said, "When I say the third master, I am good at making decisions and leave the old beheading and let him be my helper."
Jia Huan frowned and said, "Be your helper? Why, do you think the skill of Gengmo is not very proficient. Find someone who can help you operate it?"
On the side, Li Wanji, Fu Nai and others almost didn't laugh.
Wang Gui also knew that Jia Huan was making jokes, but he also knew that he was hitting his good deeds. He said with a bitter face: "Third Master, how dare I do such a thing that is despicable and humiliating my ancestors?
That's right. Although Wu Jinxiao is the chief manager of more than a dozen farms in the mansion, he is so busy coming to take care of each farm? Each of these dozen farms has its own management heads.
Wu Jinxiao was greedy for the rest of his life, but in the end he didn't leave anything. How could he be willing to see the other people eat to enjoy the benefits? He told me that none of the heads of those villages were clean.
I thought, if I continue to appoint these worms that have been black after I took office as the head of the general manager, wouldn’t it be a shame for the third master to use? So, I would be good at making a move and tell Wu Jinxiao that as long as he helps me dig up all the bad things that are not conscientious and loyal to the starter, I would plead with the third master for him, no... I won’t punish him and his son..."
Wang Gui's voice became lower and lower, and his gray head also drooped. There was no place where he was proud and looked like he was seeking credit just now.
Li Wanji and others also frowned.
Fortitude, you can never come from the best, and your power will come from the best.
If any servant dares to take the initiative to reward and punish, then will the Jia family be confused?
Wang Gui’s life cannot be said to be confused, but he definitely does not have the cleverness of Li Wanji, Fu Nai and others.
He did not realize until now that his actions may not be credit, and he may have greater sins.
Jia Huan glanced at everyone's faces, suddenly smiled, and said, "Old Wang, you're doing a good job."
Everyone couldn't believe their ears, and Wang Gui even looked up suddenly and looked at Jia Huan with surprise.
Jia Huan continued to smile and explained: "Although the method is inappropriate, the starting point is good. Are you thinking about me?"
Li Wanji, Nalan Senruo and Fu Nai frowned.
Such things are not judged by motivation, but by behavior and consequences.
If someone indulges in this behavior, and someone will use such a sign in the future, or even if he is really focused on Jia Huan, what he does is a taboo thing, what should he do?
This kind of behavior must be prevented from happening.
Wang Gui didn't care about that much, and the old man became arrogant again, patted his chest and said, "If I had a slight selfishness, my whole family would not die well."
As he said that, he looked at Li Wanji and others with a contempt.
Li Wanji and others were completely out of temper. Once the poisonous oath was released, they would not be able to continue to get involved with the old turtle, otherwise they would become mortal enemies.
Jia Huan called out Wang Gui who was stretching his neck to Li Wanji and cursed, "You are so old, why are you still... What you did is not completely right. You should be wary of Wu Jinxiao, a person who uses you to disrupt the hearts of Zhuangzi and causes trouble. Your sin will be great. Such people can be used, but they cannot be reused."
Wang Gui nodded and smiled, "I have recorded the words of the Third Master. Don't worry, third Master, he can't make any trouble. He is not very popular in every farm. Even if he can make some trouble, I just want to tell those farmers that the future rent will only be 40% of them, and they will be our most loyal farmers. Third Master, I am a farmer and I know the most about the ideas of these people. As long as I can have an extra bite of food, nothing else is more important than this."
In this era, the most conscientious landlords also have to collect 50% of the land rent, 60% or 70% of the more cruel people, and the most cruel people, even 80% of them dare to collect...
Jia Huan smiled and said, "It's good that you know it, but you're careful. With more farms in your hands, you'll get more money in the future. Although you're an old man who started with me, it's because of this that I have stricter requirements for you and you. I hope you don't let me down. When the Chinese New Year is over at the end of the year, I'll go to the Qinling Mountains to catch some wild boars and rabbits to fool me. Then, I won't be so easy to talk."
Wang Gui laughed dryly and said, "Third Master, how is that possible? Didn't it be because of the small land and the output is thin? Don't worry, when you were a child at the end of this year, you will be optimistic and will give you a big surprise."
Jia Huan smiled and said, "It's not just a fright."
