The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

After returning, Master Lin told Jiang Shi about it!

Jiang's face turned red with anger, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "This shameless guy actually caused such a thing to the master, really, really..." This matter is related to Hong Xing, Jiang's It's not good to be too happy, or too angry, so I can only speak in such flashing words.

"I have asked Mr. Yin to deal with it strictly. This matter was pointed out by Haier in public. For those who were deceived by Yang Ping, Haier also sent Nongshu to appease them. This matter is considered to be understood! Alas! "Master Lin sighed, it's easy to deal with outside affairs, but it's not easy to deal with domestic affairs!"

If Hong Xing had been honest and honest except for the blockbuster at the beginning, even if Hong Zhuang, the maid beside her, seduced Master Lin in front of her, Hong Xing would not say a word of seriousness, and she would pack it up later There is no means.It is because she is so peaceful, Master Lin is not bad to Hongxing.

Although Jiang Shi was annoyed for a while before, but seeing that Master Lin still had some thoughts on her, he didn't dare to do too much!Therefore, Hongxing's life in the Lin Mansion is very easy.Master Lin is very comfortable serving her, and even Master Lin has the idea of ​​raising her as his aunt!

But after this happened, Master Lin immediately dismissed this idea. He didn't believe that Hongxing didn't know that her brother was doing evil outside in the name of the Lin family. No matter what, he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let it go. one person.

Jiang looked at Master Lin and sighed, and knew that he was worried about Hongxing, which made Jiang feel very upset, and couldn't help asking: "Does Hongxing know about this?"

Seeing Master Lin's silence, Jiang said again: "I know you are uncertain, Master. In my opinion, Hong Xing probably doesn't know about this! I have heard before that Hong Xing has a bad relationship with her brother and sister-in-law. Master, the law does not blame the public. Besides, Hongxing didn't know about it. Regardless of whether it was caused by her family, why don't I punish her for copying "The Female Precepts" ten times!"

Master Lin shook his head, and said very calmly: "No need, send her to the village on the outskirts of the city!" Master Lin was unusually sober about his own interests and future.

"Yes!" The corners of Jiang's mouth rose slightly, it seemed that this move of retreating into advance was the right one!

As for later...

A cold light flashed in Jiang's eyes, since he entered Zhuangzi, he should never come out for the rest of his life!

Lin Hai saw that Master Lin had discussed with Jiang Shi before he said, "After this incident, my son has an idea."

"Oh, what an idea." Master Lin took a sip of his tea.asked casually.

"It's because my son thinks too much! As the saying goes, you know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. This is not someone from my Lin family who dares to use the banner of my Lin family. He is bluffing outside. The housekeepers in that family may be so big-hearted Yes, after all, money is the most touching!" Lin Hai thought about his choice of words, and said what was in his heart.

In fact, Lin Hai had this idea as early as the first time he inspected these low-level houses. The first time Lin Hai led people to inspect was only a house that the Lin family was in charge of purchasing.The things that were confiscated were quite a lot, but in the eyes of most poor people, this was a huge sum of money, but in the eyes of Lin Hai, it was just a drizzle!

This is just to manage the procurement. Although there is a lot of oil and water, Jiang is not a fool.The Lin family knows how much they can use every month, and these stewards also want to keep things flowing, so they don't dare to lie about too much every month.The money you can get is also limited.

But the management outside is different. The income of Zhuangzi's shop is hard to estimate. Although Mr. Lin is in charge of the outside facts, Lin Hai can see clearly that Mr. Lin only checks the accounts every year before the New Year.If you want to do something here, it's easy.Besides, Master Lin is still an official of the imperial court after all.As long as one year's income is enough, it is reasonable, he will not send someone to secretly investigate, so this tricky thing is easier!

Someone said it was wrong, didn't the Lin family still have hidden guards?

Crap, such a small matter, can let the dark guard come out?What if exposed?

What's more, you can treat the hidden guards like Chinese cabbage sold on the street. You can have as many as you want. If a family wants to cultivate a qualified hidden guard, it will also spend a lot of money, energy and time.

How could these trivial matters make the dark guards get involved!Well, in Master Lin's eyes, this kind of thing is a trivial matter.

Some of the shopkeepers of these outer courts run the Lin family's property in the capital, while others are distributed across the country.Lin Hai's family has large and small villages in Suzhou, and some of the mistresses were not from the capital, so the Lin family also has shops in other places.A few years ago, Master Lin bought a lot of Zhuangzi shops in Jiangnan. To put it mildly, the family property can barely be said to be spread all over the country.

With so many industries, under the background of the underdeveloped transportation in ancient times, except for those in the capital, the rest are far away from the emperor. Who knows if they will be greedy and have thoughts that should not be moved.

In the capital, Lin Hai can occasionally go around for a while, and he probably has a bottom line in his heart, but Lin Hai can't do anything about it outside!

This is not the scariest thing, the servant is corrupt, and the one who suffers is himself, but if the servant is a bold one, he uses the name of the master to take care of things and take bribes.Or lend usury in the name of the owner, or even force a few people to death lawlessly.This is the scariest thing.

Master Lin frowned, and asked with some regret, "How did you come up with this idea?"

"The former son was fine in the Hanlin Academy, so he chatted with his colleagues. I heard that there was a servant of the family who relied on his milk to grow up a man. He pretended to be a tiger outside. Recently, the mistress found out that he was not only corrupt in the inner courtyard. In the outside world, they used the name of the master's family to seize good land, bully the people, and sell by force. The lawlessness forced a few people to die. I don’t know how much the reputation of the master’s family has been ruined.” Lin Hai wrinkled his forehead and said.

"Is there such a thing?" Jiang's eyes widened. She had never heard of such a rampant servant, taking care of errands, occupying good land, bullying the people, selling by force, and lending usury. charges.But then Jiang became puzzled, why didn't she hear any news about such a big event, "Why haven't I heard about it?"

Lin Hai smiled and said: "This kind of thing is the master's mistake, and no matter what the outside world says, those things are done in the name of the master, so what if you know, wipe it off as soon as possible. , This kind of thing can’t be covered up enough, how can I bring it up. Besides, my mother didn’t hear about it. I always heard that some time ago, there was a family who kindly released more than 100 people! Do you really believe it? The statement to the outside world? It's just a cover-up!"

"Oh! So it's his family!" Jiang suddenly realized that Jiang had heard of this, but the Lin family had no friendship with that family. Although he felt that something was wrong, he didn't think too much about it. It's about the Lin family!So Jiang didn't think deeply about it at the time.

Master Lin put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, this is not a small matter. If we want to catch such people, we can't give them a chance to react."

"My son also means something, but it's easy to check the management in the capital, and the rest of the place..." The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It's no big deal that both Master Lin and Lin Hai are court officials. Generally, they don't get vacations. There are some problems, the areas where these properties are distributed are many and scattered, which is not very good.

"The ones in Suzhou I wrote to ask the patriarch to help to investigate thoroughly. For the rest of the places, when I went to Jiangnan last time, I found that they were not profitable and inconvenient to manage, so I have sold some of them! Now there are only a few left. There are some places in Jinling and Hangzhou, and these two places are also easy. Hangzhou will ask the Jiang family to come forward to help investigate. As for Jinling, your brother will be on vacation soon. We will send people to investigate secretly and wait for you. My younger brother is on vacation, let him go to Jinling to deal with these people." Apparently, Master Lin didn't have much self-confidence, he was confident that his servants were all good and wouldn't do anything for money.

"The housekeepers, Madam, let someone investigate again! Be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. You should be more careful about matters related to the family's reputation." If you want to do it, do it all at once!Master Lin simply decided to investigate the housekeeper as well!Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Yes!" Jiang replied, she naturally knew the seriousness of this kind of thing, not just because of her bad reputation.If the subordinates do not distinguish between public and private, and are greedy for ink, this is a big family's taboo, and it will cause the appearance of prodigal, which can be said to be a family crime.

Not to mention interfering with the criminal name outside with the master's name post, this matter is completely a disaster for the master's family!

Although Jiang was a little apprehensive, he still supported this matter.

In fact, whose mistress hasn't moved things into her private warehouse?They're all about the same, there's only the difference between more and less, who makes it so frustrating for ordinary people to have aunts and concubines!You must know that the things in the public treasury will be distributed uniformly in the future, but the mistress's own private house can be decided by herself, and she can give it to whoever she wants.

Fortunately, Jiang's methods are very good, except for a concubine, all the others were born by her, so they can be regarded as peaceful, and they don't move much.

Master Lin asked her to preside over this matter, which means he trusted her.If the man in charge does it himself, he will slap the wife in the face severely!
