Chapter 3420
There is another reason why Zu Shiyuan chose the Jia family, that is, the Jia family is considered the number one wealthy family in Qiantang.

The family used to supply silk to the imperial palace, and was even summoned by the emperor in person.

There is a daughter in the family, and she is married to Huizong as a concubine.

Huizong bestowed them the number one imperial merchants in the world, specializing in serving the royal family.

Over the years, the family has accumulated a lot of gold and silver.

Once other wealthy families are prosperous, they will immediately ask monks to teach their descendants and clan members to practice, in order to seek to protect the family from losses.

The Jia family is a bit special. There is only one grandson of the main family in the family, and the surname is Jia Mingyu.

He usually acts unruly and spends all day in the romantic nest.

There are hundreds of sisters in the family, who recite poems against him every day, drink for pleasure, and never practice spiritual practice.

Therefore, although the family is rich, but the military style is weak, it is best to bully.

Sure enough, after Zu Shiyuan came in with a group of yamen servants, the servants in the door were shocked and dispersed, and no one came forward to resist.

Someone hurried to the back and told the old lady and the old man to know.

The head of the family came out to greet him immediately, and when he saw the patriarch far away, he was so startled that he cupped his hands and shouted, "It turns out that the prime minister is visiting, why are you mobilizing so many people?"

Zu Shiyuan and the great master Jia Zheng scolded, "According to reliable information, Jia Zheng, the perpetrator, had an affair with Jiangbei thieves, with the intention of manipulating the market and opposing our new dynasty. The Holy Duke has ordered that the entire family of the Jia family be ransacked immediately. The important suspects, all of them Put him in prison and make a judgment after the investigation of the case is clear!"

Jia Zheng knelt on the ground and yelled, "Prime Minister, I am wronged, the villain is wronged! Among the big businessmen in Qiantang Prefecture, only the villain has no intention of rebelling! Please check it out, and give the villain justice!"

Patriarch Yuan snorted coldly, "Whether wronged or not, you will know when you are in prison."

As soon as he raised his hand, he shouted an order with all the soldiers, "Arrest the criminal Jia Zheng and all the main culprits, immediately count and search the Jia family's property, and never let a place where the money is hidden."

"Go!"

The heads of all the yamen led people to act immediately, those who arrested people arrested people, and those who searched family properties searched their properties, and in a short while the whole mansion was jumping up and down.

The old lady fainted on the spot, and a group of female relatives were also at a loss, and rushed to report to the young master Jia Baoyu.

This son is in the back garden, drinking and ordering with a group of sisters in the gazebo.

Laughter spread throughout the garden, and no one knew what had become of the front yard.

The servants rushed over and shouted anxiously to Jia Baoyu, "My lord, my lord, something is wrong, the government is here to arrest you."

The group of people immediately fell silent and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Those who were timid cried out on the spot, "Hey, what's going on?"

Only the sister of the Xue family, Xue Baochai, asked quite calmly, "Why?"

The servant hurriedly reported, "I heard that he is colluding with the Song army in Jiangbei and intending to rebel."

"This is a false accusation!"

Xue Baochai scolded, and immediately persuaded Jia Baoyu, "Brother Bao, you hide first. They must have come this time to ask for money, not to arrest people. You hide, wait until the limelight is over, let's find someone Clear up the relationship and come out."

Jia Baoyu panicked, "I, how can I hide at this time. If I hide, how will you and your sisters deal with themselves?"

"We are female relatives, they will not embarrass us."

Xue Baochai grabbed his arm and said anxiously, "Brother Bao, hurry up!"

The other female relatives also hurriedly urged, "Sister Xue is right, Second Master hide away and talk about it!"

"Second brother, just listen to your sister!"

Lin Daiyu, who usually has the best relationship with Jia Baoyu, also stood up and urged Jia Baoyu to find a place to hide immediately.

Jia Baoyu was ashamed for a while, he didn't expect that he, a man, would have to rely on these sisters for protection at critical moments.

A group of people panicked and dragged Jia Baoyu to the tunnel where they usually play, and Xue Baochai was outside to deal with the yamen servants who came to raid the house.

These yamen servants really only came here to raid their homes, and they had no interest in arresting people.

They first searched the hundreds of yards in front of them one by one, searched the valuables inside, and then immediately put a seal on the door.

After a long time, a group of people arrived in the back garden.

They raised their knives and asked the female relatives to gather at the front. They searched the back garden and found nothing of value, so they let it go.

Jia Baoyu hid in the tunnel, and had never been so desolate as he is today.

When something big happened in the past, there was also a family that sheltered him from the wind and rain. How could he be reduced to today's field protected by a group of sisters.

He suddenly regretted that he didn't do his job properly. If he had cultivated all his abilities, he wouldn't be so downcast.

The Jia Mansion has a lot of assets, and it took three or four days just to count the property.

The Jia family begged their grandfather and sued their grandmother through various relationships, but none of them dared to stand up and help them at this time.

After Zu Shiyuan moved all the properties of Jia's mansion away, the Jia family members were limited to move out of the mansion within three days.

He wants to uproot Jia's house and completely liquidate the auction.

Jia Baoyu also came out of the tunnel, and met the old lady in the main room with a group of sisters.

The old lady was stimulated and couldn't afford to get sick, and it seemed that her days were numbered.

The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the servants of the mansion left one after another to find their own way of life.

Usually these idlers, who only know about romance, have to go to the kitchen to burn firewood and boil water by themselves.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even have to drink hot water.

In front of the old lady's couch, a group of young ladies knelt on the ground in a bewilderment and wept softly.

The old lady took Jia Baoyu's hand and said with a sad face, "My dear grandson, grandma can't do it anymore. You usually act perversely and don't like vulgar things. But people have to eat after all. You used to hide under the blessing of your family, but you can still enjoy it." Some carefree days. It’s not going to work in the future, if you don’t wake up again, these sisters of yours will also suffer because of you!”

Jia Baoyu held her hand and wept bitterly, "Grandson knows his mistake, grandson knows his mistake."

The old lady gave him a relieved look, and finally closed her eyes weakly.

There was a burst of crying in the room, arranged by Xue Baochai, took some gold and silver jewelry from the sisters and asked the maids around her to sell them off, and replaced a coffin outside, and then let the old lady enter the coffin.

In the mourning hall, Xue Baochai discussed with Jia Baoyu, "Brother Bao, I have asked my parents to ask for some news these days. The disasters that happened to our Jiajiaping were all caused by the right prime minister and ancestors in the court. He has to deal with not only It's our Jia family, and many rich families in Qiantang Prefecture. Colluding with the rebels is just an excuse he made. It is obviously impossible to ask Xinchao for help to save our Jia family."

Jia Baoyu was at a loss and said, "What should I do according to my sister's wishes?"

Xue Baochai said, "I heard that a few days ago, businessmen from all walks of life in Qiantangzhou went to Huizhou to meet a girl. She is not very old, but she is the president of the well-known Shenlong Chamber of Commerce, and she is also the daughter of Song Gongming, Duke of Qi. Qi Guogong led the army to the south, and she also accompanied her. This woman is very capable, and she is extraordinary. She once led a hundred thousand cavalry to sweep across the North Liao Grassland and killed millions of people. Now the new dynasty can't ask for help, maybe there is still a chance to ask her for help hope."
