"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber
Chapter 52
The two men sent out by the king of Yongjun were also powerful. They really held one of Jia Zheng's arms and walked all the way so fast that Jia Zheng couldn't keep up with the pace of those two.
Jia Zheng was originally a literati. Although he had no knowledge, his body was as weak as those literati. How could he compare to this kind of martial arts practitioner with mud legs.
Therefore, on the street, two people could be seen striding Jia Zheng forward, and Jia Zheng was almost dragged all the way.
You said that you should also find a sedan chair to carry me back. Sorry, time is urgent and I don't have time to find a sedan chair.
When Jia Zheng heard the answers of the two men, his face turned black like the bottom of a pot.
This strange combination appeared on the street, which naturally attracted people's attention. Many people followed behind them, wanting to see what happened?
Jia Zheng's face was completely lost at once.
When those good people went back with Jia Zheng and the others, they looked up at the sign of Rongguo Mansion, looked at the soldiers guarding outside, and suddenly understood: it turned out that the Ministry of Household Affairs was working.
That's great, those people went back to add fuel and vinegar, and as soon as they contacted the Ministry of Accounts to collect the owed money, they became the people of Rongguo Mansion who didn't want to return the owed money to the Ministry of Accounts, and then the king of Yongjun directly sent someone to take the money owed to the family. He was arrested and returned. As for where the family member was arrested, there are many rumors. Some say that he came from the outer house, others from Zhuangzi, and some even say that he came from the Chu Pavilion in the brothel.
Everyone said again, who is the head of the family: Jia Zheng?
Oh, it turned out to be the unloving brother Jia Zheng who united with his unloving mother, coveted his elder brother's title, and finally kicked him out to run his own family. It's only natural that such a person doesn't want to pay back the money owed by the Ministry of Accounts.
For a while, Jia Zheng's notoriety reached a new level.
Jia She chuckled, it stinks, the more stinky he is, the more he can reflect the reputation of the master.
You say that Jia Zheng is not angry, not angry.
Angry, of course, Jia Zheng was dragged all the way back to Rongguo Mansion. If he could not be angry, his face would be lost, and what Jia Zheng paid most attention to was his face.
After entering Rongqing hall, Jia Zheng was supported by those two people to stand upright. As soon as this person stood still, Jia Zheng rushed towards Jia She who was sitting.
Jia She raised his eyebrows, I said there are so many people here, why did you only find me.
So, this is a predestined fate!
When Jia Zheng came back, no one saw him, so he fixed his eyes on Jia She, who was sitting leisurely on a chair drinking tea. Seeing Jia She like this, Jia Zheng was angry from the heart, he was so embarrassed, It's all this Jia Amnesty's fault.
"Jia Amnesty, how on earth did you become the eldest brother? Do you treat your own brother like this?" Jia Zheng said angrily.
Jia Amnesty smiled, and looked up and down at Jia Zheng's heroic appearance at the moment, with disheveled clothes and a messy bun: "Second brother, where did you come from?" He said 'tsk tsk' twice : "I really didn't see it, second brother, it's broad daylight."
"What exactly do you want to say? What exactly do you want to say?" Jia Zheng felt that he had been humiliated, thoroughly humiliated. Although the saying goes that a gentleman speaks but does not move, he couldn't stand it anymore.
Jia Zheng then raised his 'Gentleman's Fist'.
"Jia Cunzhou, this king is here, don't you even know how to greet him? The Rongguo Mansion is really brave."
A cold voice came from next to his ear, Jia Zheng was shocked, then turned around numbly, and then saw a group of people in the room, Jia Zheng's legs softened, and he knelt down on the ground.
Jia Amnesty shook his head, so he said, you can't lose your mind if you lose anything.
Shi Taijun looked at his second son with an ugly face. The second son's movements were too fast just now. She rushed towards the boss before she could stop him. When she was about to speak, she saw Prince Yong looking at him coldly. With one glance at himself, Shi Taijun could only keep his mouth shut.
Only then did Jia Zheng come to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty to King Yongjun: "I don't know that the prince of the county is here, so I'm sorry to welcome you. If there is any disrespect, I ask the prince to make amends."
Situ Zhen snorted coldly: "Why didn't Mr. Lin tell you yesterday that this king will bring someone to collect the owed money today? This king thought that Mr. Lin lived in your house, and your friendship is very good. in this way."
Lin Ruhai bent over and smiled: "My lord, everyone has face and affection."
Shi Taijun and Jia Zheng's faces turned greener.
Situ Zhen nodded his head to express his understanding: "This king is not talking nonsense, Jia Cunzhou, return the money owed to the Ministry of Households."
Jia Zheng's body froze, and his expression became saddened: "My lord, please report, all of this is Jia Amnesty's conspiracy."
Jia Amnesty hooked the corners of his lips, picked up his teacup and took a sip.
Then, Jia Zheng's face fully showed an expression of pain after being betrayed by his relatives, and he said in a slightly trembling voice: "My lord, this Jia Amnesty is the heir of the Rongguo Mansion. This is a matter of debt." I think it was also given to him by the Duke of the country back then, but he just didn't open his mouth. He was extravagant and promiscuous every day, spending his life desperately, either buying antiques or buying concubines. This was something everyone knew at the time. "As he spoke, he slowly stood up, pointed at Jia She, and felt that he was the most innocent person in the world: "The old lady really can't stand Jia She's ruining the Rongguo Mansion so much, so she asked me to come forward to attack him." He took over the title of Rongguo Mansion, but this Jia Amnesty took [-]% of the family property in the mansion, and the mansion was already corrupted by him. Mention, let us not be prepared at all, just waiting here to see our good show." Jia Zheng looked at Situ Zhen with his hands folded, and said righteously: "My lord, don't be fooled by this despicable villain Jia She. , this owed money, if you want to pay it back, you should ask Jia Amnesty to pay it back." The last sentence finally hit the point.
Jia Amnesty raised his eyebrows even higher, and he couldn't help applauding. As expected, there is as much pressure as there is a rebound. This Jia Cunzhou was frightened by the future that was about to lose his fortune, and he really spoke impassioned words up.
Lin Ruhai snorted coldly in his heart, he has seen shameless ones, but he has never seen such shameless ones, it is really embarrassing for scholars.
Only Shi Taijun looked at Jia Zheng with a bright face. At the critical moment, it was her Zhenger who had the ability.
Situ Zhen looked at Jia Zheng without saying a word, but stared at Jia Zheng until his body stiffened.
Situ Zhen turned to look at Jia She, "What do you say?"
Jia Amnesty shrugged: "According to the law, Jia Zheng is now attacking the noble, so Jia Zheng pays back the money."
Straight to the point, instant kill.
Situ Zhen turned his head to look at Jia Zheng again: "You understand!"
"My lord," Jia Zheng knelt on the ground with a 'plop': "I also ask my lord to make decisions for the subordinates and avenge the subordinates."
Situ Zhen sighed slightly: "I'll leave it to you." Then he picked up his teacup and drank it without speaking.
Jia She coughed lightly, and stood up calmly: "Second brother, why is this so? Kneeling on the ground is too ugly. The prince is in charge of the household department. For this matter of redressing grievances, the second brother should go to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint. How about this, second brother Pay back the owed money today, let’s take care of the prince’s affairs first, and then the second brother will knock on the door and tell brother me, how about it?” That expression seemed to be looking at his family’s misbehavior and cheating Like the son of a jerk.
Bah, who is your son.
Jia Zheng gave Jia She a hard look, then turned his head and continued to look at Situ Zhen: "I believe that the prince will definitely make decisions for me."
"Then there is no other way." Jia She gave Shi Taijun an innocent look, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Shi Taijun's body trembled, she was too familiar with Jia She's smile, every time at this time, Jia She would do things that made her toothache, headache and heart ache.
Sure enough, the next moment, Shi Taijun heard a voice that made her whole body hurt.
"Come on, go to the treasury and get all the silver taken out by the official. If it is not enough, use those antique calligraphy and paintings as collateral. However, according to [-]% of the market price, the imperial gifts will not be used. If there is not enough, go to the head of the mansion. Ma'am, those house deeds, land deeds, [-]% mortgage." Jia Amnesty ordered loudly.
"Jia Amnesty, you are robbing." Jia Zheng stood up abruptly, glaring at Jia Amnesty.
Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng spreading his hands, and continued to order loudly: "If it is not enough, go to the head wife to ask for it. This head wife is very powerful. She sells the land for sacrifices behind the back of the men in the house, and instructs her confidantes to give loan sharks. Now that the house is in great trouble, the wife in charge can't just let it go, and this official also understands that it needs money, so we have to find the right person to get it."
"Jia Amnesty, you, you..." Jia Zheng was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.How can this kind of thing be said to the outside world?
Jia Zheng rolled his eyes and passed out.
Jia She smiled and looked at Situ Zhen: "My lord, it seems that it is right to bring an imperial physician."
Situ Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Jia Amnesty: "Hurry up, invite the imperial physician in, and for the others, just do as Master Jia said."
With this order, those people took action immediately, and Jia Amnesty asked Aping to lead the way, after all, it could save some time, right?
Shi Taijun's body was trembling, she was getting old, her face was lost by Jia She, that bastard son.
She patted the table and stood up, shouting: "You naughty son, good, very good, I will go to the palace to find the queen mother now, and I will let the queen mother decide for me."
Situ Zhen didn't speak, but Lin Ruhai looked at Jia She worriedly.
Unexpectedly, Jia She's face did not change at all, it was always that kind of gentle smile: "Mother, there is a saying from the ancestors: the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This matter, the queen mother and her old man can't control it."
Shi Taijun's movements froze: "I didn't say this, I want to sue you for disobedience."
"Which point?" Jia She said innocently, "My son has listened to your words to the point where he even loses his title."
You still dare to mention the title to me, Shi Taijun is now determined to kill Jia Amnesty.
"Let's talk about how much the son has suffered because of this incident. Why can't the mother understand the son's filial piety, but fortunately, everyone outside understands."
Shi Taijun spread out on the chair, how could she have forgotten that she has such a bad reputation now, how could she and Jia She, a well-known filial son, presumably, Shi Taijun stared at Jia She fiercely, his eyes turned red, if she hadn't How wonderful it would be to give birth to this rebellious son.
The situation was so stalemate, and the weirdness was quiet.
Suddenly, a person rushed in from the door: "No, don't move any more, we have the money, and we will return it."
Several people took a closer look, and it was Mrs. Wang with messy bun who rushed in.
Panting, Mrs. Wang took out a stack of banknotes: "40 taels, we pay it back, we pay it back."
As soon as the words fell, Jia Zheng, who was still lying on the ground and let the imperial doctor take his pulse, turned over and stood up. He took the bank notes with a look of surprise and counted them: "You really got the money."
I said, second brother, you praised your IQ just now, why did you tear it down.
Mrs. Wang took a slow breath, and took out another piece of red paper: "I asked someone to borrow it, but I need the master to sign something."
Jia Zheng's hands that counted the bank notes paused, took the red paper and looked at it: "Baoyu and Baochai's marriage certificate."
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Among them, 20 taels are Baochai's dowry, and the remaining 20 taels still have to be paid back."
Is this asking Jia Baoyu to marry Xue Baochai?
Shi Taijun was anxious again: "No, this is absolutely impossible. Baoyu will be the heir of the Rongguo Mansion in the future, how can he marry the daughter of a merchant."
Jia Zheng hesitated.
Mrs. Wang didn't look at Shi Taijun, but just stared at Jia Zheng, and persuaded: "If the Rongguo Mansion is gone, why are we talking about inheriting the title?" She would never let something happen to the Rongguo Mansion. The heir of the Guofu, if something happens to the Rongguo Mansion, she will still have something to do in the future, so she will think of any method and use any means.
Jia She said coolly, "40 taels, not enough."
Shi Taijun glared at Jia She: "It's not about money now."
"It turns out that in the eyes of the old lady, this Jia Baoyu is more important than the court affairs." Jia She sneered, "Jia Cunzhou, this is how you are an official."
Jia Zheng's body trembled, he bit his toothpick and signed.
"Master, there is also the 20 taels of IOU below." Mrs. Wang added.
It was only then that Jia Zheng realized that there was another piece of paper under the red paper, and the eye-catching 20 taels on it almost blinded his eyes.
Mrs. Wang carefully leaned into Jia Zheng's ear and said, "Anyway, Baochai is going to marry in at that time, so we have the final say on whether the 20 taels will be paid or not."
Jia Zheng then nodded and owed the IOU as well.
Shi Taijun really went limp all of a sudden, and cried, "My poor Baoyu."
Jia Amnesty took a step forward, took the bank note in Jia Zheng's hand and handed it to the servants beside him: "How much money is there?"
Someone immediately came forward and reported: "The cash in the warehouse plus some antique calligraphy and paintings, land deeds and house deeds can be counted as 10 taels."
Mrs. Wang turned to look at Shi Taijun: "Madam, Mrs. Lin also sent 5 taels yesterday."
Shi Taijun waved his hand weakly, she felt that she was going to pass out at any moment, and she didn't care about the 5 taels, poor Baoyu.
Yuanyang winked and took out the 5 taels that Lin Ruhai gave earlier.
Jia She took it with a smile: "That's how it is. Although there is still a shortfall of 3 taels, I can't stand by and watch the affairs of Rongguo Mansion. I will pay 5 taels." He took out a stack of bank notes, counted 3 taels and handed them to the subordinates at the side, and handed over the other 2 taels: "Your brother and sister should keep it, the mansion is really out of money right now."
Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng glared at Jia Amnesty, but they still reached out and took the bank note.
Jia Zheng said coldly: "Now you have got the money, you can go."
Jia She nodded, turned around and cupped his hands to Situ Zhen: "My lord, it's time for us to go to Ningguo Mansion next door."
So, you came here early in the morning to find fault.
Jia Zheng was originally a literati. Although he had no knowledge, his body was as weak as those literati. How could he compare to this kind of martial arts practitioner with mud legs.
Therefore, on the street, two people could be seen striding Jia Zheng forward, and Jia Zheng was almost dragged all the way.
