Across the heavens in the Red Mansion

Chapter 198 Cleaning up the rats in Jia's mansion
In Rongguo Mansion,

All the men in charge of the family were together, and only one of them was speaking in a solemn voice.

"Elder Master, Second Master, Second Brother Lian, I came back from Prince Zhongshun's poetry meeting, and learned a happy event from him."

Jia Lang paused, cleared his throat, and continued: "The eldest sister in our mansion who has been in the palace for many years has been elected as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and was conferred the title of Xiande Concubine by the Holy One."

"I'm afraid that in a few days, news from the palace will also spread."

"And according to the lord, the Holy Majesty is very fond of the elder sister."

Following Jia Lang's eloquence, Jia Zheng, Jia She and Jia Lian all knew the news of Yuan Chun's concubine, and their faces were unconsciously filled with smiles.

"However, we should pay more attention to this outlet..."

Immediately after Jia Lang, he married Wang Xifeng's usury to his son who used the name of Jia's mansion to take power and break Chang'an's defense.

When talking about this matter, Jia Lang first spoke righteously, and then said a few words of apology to Jia Lian. When Jia She and Jia Zheng heard about Wang Xifeng, they not only felt embarrassed and disgusted, but after Yuanchun was granted the title of concubine, Afterwards, both of them took it more seriously.

Especially for Jia Zheng, it was his eldest daughter who wanted to be a concubine.

Seeing this, Jia Lang took advantage of the opportunity to bring up the matter of rectifying the atmosphere in Jia's mansion, and cited some big rats in the mansion, and even pointed out the gap between their possible embezzlement of family assets and the current annual income and expenditure of Jia's mansion.

After such a comparison, the three Jias were immediately filled with righteous indignation. They knew that the atmosphere in Jia's mansion was a bit bad, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.

As for why they believed what Jia Lang said, firstly, it was because the situation was not unexpected, and secondly, what Jia Lang said was reasonable and well-founded, and some even provided proof of bills.

In some of these cases, Jia Lang sent his own elders to follow Wang Zhu to the housekeepers of Jia Mansion. With Jia Lang's talisman on his body and Wang Zhu's skill gradually improved, it was almost as if he was in the land of no one, and he could reach out.

Others were harvested by Jia Yun from the servants of the housekeeper in the mansion with money offensive. For the servants of Jia's mansion, as long as the money is paid, nothing is impossible.

After the four-person meeting ended, Rongguo Mansion ushered in a big cleansing, which was led by Jia Lang, and it was actually the same. Of course, it was impossible for Jia Lang to personally witness everything.

Things are still a step back, Jia Yun and Wang Zhu collect black information about the affairs of the Jia family.

An investigation into the corruption of the internal affairs of the Jia family or relying on the power of the Jia family to domineering outside and tarnish the reputation of the Jia family began.

As for why Jia Lang came to take the lead, one reason was that, in the eyes of the three, Jia Lang was friendly with his younger brother, King Zhongshun, and this matter was proposed by him.

The second is that Jia Zheng is not interested in managing these mundane affairs (the same as Jia Baoyu), Jia Amnesty hopes that Jia Lang can show more, and Jia Lian needs to avoid suspicion because of Wang Xifeng's matter.

The third is because it is thankless and easy to offend people, such as Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

So it was finally hosted by Jia Lang.

As for the matter of guarding Chang'an, Jia pardoned Jia Zheng and wrote to Yun Guang, the military governor of Chang'an, to settle the matter.

At the same time, the Ningguo Mansion was no exception, and the two uncles, Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty, went to lobby. After all, the Rongning and Ningo Mansions belonged to one family.

Of course, Jia Zhen didn't take it seriously at the time, but because of the elders' orders, she still needed to do her best on the surface.

All of a sudden, there were more than three hundred people and thousands of people in Rongguo Mansion, and people were panicked.But there must be some people who don't care about so many people. After all, the relationship in the huge Rongguo Mansion is intricate, and there are endless backers in various managements. They are either related to the young lady or the wife or grandma.

Among them, the Lai family, relying on their deep connections, didn't take it seriously when Jia Lang sent out to plead guilty and make up for the past.

Because Nanny Lai, the old lady of the Lai family, has served Jia's mother for most of her life, and she can be said to be the eldest in Rongguo Mansion. This is one of the reasons why the two masters Jia do not want to go out.

After all, in today's Jia family, to be honest, the old lady is not in charge!

It is precisely because of this that the Lai family was the first to be attacked by the Jia family.

To kill the chicken to warn the monkey, the chicken must be heavy to be effective.

Immediately after Jia Lang took the right time, he took Wang Zhu and himself to arrange for Jia Yun to find and raise more than dozens of guards to Lai's family, and Jia Lang took Jia Zhen with him during the cleaning.

As the first chicken, it was natural that Lai Da was dealt with on the spot by Jia Lang. Because he was a domestic slave, he would not be involved in a lawsuit.

Just this once, Jia Lang confiscated nearly 10 taels from Lai Dajia. Of course, Jia Lang put Qi into the treasury of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Zhen, the head of the Ningguo Mansion, couldn't help but feel moved when she saw the goods being received in such a way. In addition, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen guaranteed that there was still Jia Lang, a bright shield.

After being determined, he invited Jia Lang and his entourage to go to Lai Er's house that day. Lai Er's house was no worse than Lai's family.

When Lai Er's family property entered Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen greeted Jia Lang with a smile.

In his opinion, it was a great deal to be able to receive such goods by dealing with a slave. If it weren't for the old lady, he would have done it himself.

In the same way, the attack must be ruthless, so as not to leave any future troubles. The two brothers of the Lai family went to the West Paradise together.

Of course, Jia Lang will not forget Lai Shangrong, this son is also heartless, after the defeat of the Jia family, Jia Zheng will not give him any money he borrowed.

Little did he know that he was able to give birth to a child and escape from slavery, and become an official in a locality, but it was all thanks to the Jia family.

For the ancient servants, becoming an official in a locality was an unattainable thing.

Jia Lang used the Jia family's network to get Lai Shangrong imprisoned. As Lai's family, how could he have no handle, let alone Jia's backing.

By the time Nanny Lai heard the news and went to Mother Jia to cry, the matter had already been settled.

And when Jia Lang presented the evidence that the Lai family used their power to profit from Jia's mansion, and even bullied others outside, in front of Jia's mother.

Facing Mother Jia's unbelievable gaze, Nanny Lai dared not speak any more, but wept softly.

Although Jia's mother knew that the Lai family would seek some benefits for her, she never dared to think that she would act so boldly, it was shocking.

However, Mother Jia still scolded Jia Lang well, but since Mother Jia cared about serving her mother Lai for most of her life, she would not treat Jia Lang too much.

After all, as soon as the incident happened, and the life of his grandson was more precious than that of the Lai family, but after this incident, Jia Lang still had some estrangement.

But as far as Jia Lang is concerned, it has nothing to do with it.

Since then, the cleaning of Jia's mansion has kicked off, and the process has also been accelerated.

If the crime is unpardonable, Jia Lang will solve it by himself, if it is not for the family to give birth to a child, he will be thrown out of the mansion, and the rest Jia Lang who can make up the money and has a minor crime will just turn a blind eye.

So far, it is faintly Rongguo Mansion adding more than one hundred thousand taels.

This figure can be described as shocking, unimaginable, such wealth is enough to support a noble family.

As a result, the Rongguo Mansion has greatly reduced its staff, from more than three hundred good people to hundreds of people, and now the remaining people are just enough to maintain the dignity of the Jia Mansion.

After this incident, the name of Jia Lang and the Third Master Jia resounded throughout Rongning and Ningfu, to the point of stopping children from crying.

Jia's mansion also fell into a calm state, and all the servants in the mansion became trembling, and it took more than half a month to get better.
