The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

It is said that after Mrs. Wang was locked up, she was very upset. On the day of Jia She's birthday, she was even more stimulated, and her resentment towards the big house reached the extreme. She couldn't go out, but the old lady didn't prohibit her from going in and out for her dowry.She had asked Zhou Rui's family to make arrangements, and this time the eldest family would never be able to recover.

After kneeling down to the Bodhisattva, stand up and press a place on the Bodhisattva statue, the whole Bodhisattva statue turns around automatically. It turns out that the Bodhisattva statue is a door. Mrs. Wang went in with a lamp, and when she came out, there was an extra box in her hand. Next It is how to hand over this box to the elders and old ladies in the clan.

This matter must be done seamlessly, and she cannot be dragged into the water. It seems that Yang Lu's family cannot stay. Looking at the ticket in her hand, Mrs. Wang is very distressed. This business without capital has been given to her for more than ten years. With 10,000+ taels of wealth, in order to completely overwhelm the big house, now I can only give up.

To say that Mrs. Wang's deeds have been done by Mrs. Wang for more than ten years, but no one knows about it. It is because she is cautious and never lends money in the capital or even in the suburbs of Beijing. He did not do things in the name of the Rongguo Mansion, so he has been doing it safely and steadily for more than ten years.

The old lady's confidant, Mrs. Ling went back to her natal home to visit relatives. On the way, she encountered a few hooligans who were beating a few children, and even dragged two of the girls away. curse out loud.

"Stinky boy, let go quickly. It's only natural to pay back the debt. Your parents borrowed the money, and it is now due. Since you can't pay back the money, we are not good people. We are not good people. We are in a loss-making business. The girl pays off the debt, this chick has a pretty face, she has delicate skin and tender flesh, she must be able to sell for a good price, hahahaha." He said and touched the face of one of the little girls.

"You dare to rape women, I'll sue you in the yamen." The younger boy was very upset. Although the family was poor and their clothes were all patched up, and they were in a bit of a mess, it could be seen that they couldn't be raised by mud legs. out of the child.

"Smelly boy, go and sue, you think I'm afraid, we're going to the Yamen now, isn't your father a poor scholar, even if you sue the governor, I'm still not afraid, and dare not pay back the debt owed to the Rongguo Mansion , you don’t even ask, what kind of family is the Rongguo Mansion?” said the leading gangster bachelor.

"Brother, the master doesn't want to cause trouble, boy Jiang, don't say much else, as long as you can come up with money now, we will take the money and leave immediately." Another person who seemed to have just come out to play around said.

When Mrs. Ling heard someone mentioning the Rongguo Mansion and the loan, she got out of the car and asked, "How much money do these children owe you? I will pay it for them."

"Old lady, I want you to meddle in your own business." A gangster pointed at Granny Ling and said, he was coveting girls from the Jiang family.

"Didn't you say that you gave the money and let the child go away immediately? Why doesn't it count?" Mrs. Ling stayed by Mother Jia's side all year round. She was the little master of the family. Developed a domineering momentum.

"Let's go" slapped away what he said just now, "Old lady, we naturally mean what we say, and we don't want to do something that the neighbors in the neighborhood look down on. Since the old lady paid them back for them, we can save trouble, old lady." Madam, a total of 20 taels of silver."

"You're talking nonsense. We only borrowed ten taels of silver in total, and yesterday it was only 18 taels. Why do we have to pay back 20 taels." The embarrassed boy said.

"Boss Jiang, you are a scholar. It's clearly written in black and white. You don't mean to renege on your debt." guilty.

"Okay, 20 taels is 20 taels, I'll give it to you." Granny Ling didn't bother about this matter, and asked someone to give 20 taels of silver to these local ruffians, and these local ruffians were happy, took the money and left.

"Wait, you just left, didn't you forget to leave something behind?" Ling Pozi said.

"Old lady, here you are." The leader gave the slip to Granny Ling, and led the others away. Granny Ling took the slip and saw that there was no Rongguo Mansion on it, so she returned the slip to the children. .

"Son, this is for you. Take your younger brothers and sisters home." He fished out another piece of silver from his sleeve and gave it to Mr. Jiang.

"Thank you, old lady. The Jiang family will never forget your kindness. We can't ask for your money for nothing. Please also tell us the address. Today's 20 taels of silver will be returned in double in the future." The eldest son of the Jiang family said.

In the distance, Zhou Rui watched Granny Ling walk away, and nodded in satisfaction, completely oblivious to the fact that the people following him on the other side also noticed this scene, and sneered, recklessly, the masters of the two rooms did not match, this slave In private, they were choking each other to death. They followed Zhou Rui all the way, so they naturally knew that Zhou Rui had arranged the scene just now.

Yang Lu was cautious. Jia Lian searched for a period of time in the suburbs of Beijing, but found no clues. In order to celebrate Jia Amnesty's birthday, he asked people to watch Yang Lu's family and came back by himself. Since Yang Lu had no clues, then Put it on the second wife, and when Zhou Rui went out, he sent someone to follow.

Qian Shun is the leader of the big house this time. He brought a total of four people here. They are all strong and born in the fifth line. Qian Shun pretended to be a businessman, and the other four came here dressed as bodyguards. He sent two people to follow Zhou Rui, and Qian Shun took the other two to follow the gangsters.

Those gangsters went to a bank called Sihai, and people who followed Zhou Rui came back to report that Zhou Rui went to Sihai Bank this week. It seems that this Sihai Bank is the stronghold set up here by Mrs. Wang.

In the next few days, there were a few more incidents like Jiang's, and Qian Shun discovered that they were actually instigating these people to go to Rongguo Mansion in the capital to make trouble.As soon as Qian Shun thought about it, he knew what the second wife was calling He Xin.

Two flowers, one on each table.

There was news from Qian Shun's side, and good news came from the people who stayed behind to monitor Yang Lu. After half a month of watching, Yang Lu's son Yang Chu led people out. They were going to collect He was arrested by Jia Lian's men, imprisoned and interrogated severely.

That night, Jia Lian took people out of the city and secretly arrested Yang Lu himself. After a careful search, he found two boxes of pawn tickets in a very hidden place, as well as an account book, and 3000 taels of gold, 3 taels of silver, and land. Home shop, wait.

Seeing that it was Jia Lian who came to investigate, Yang Lu insisted that it was Xing Yue who let him get the loan, and he must not reveal who the real master is.

"Really? Your wife asked you to lend? You think you can convict your wife just by using the pawnbroker that your daughter stole into your wife's room?" Jia Lian's peach blossom eyes narrowed.

However, this Yang Lu was very stubborn and kept silent until a fire broke out three days later, which made him really speak the truth.The fire came suddenly and was very ferocious. The most severely burned place was the bedroom where Yang Lu's family lived. The people inside were drugged and no one escaped. Died in a sea of ​​flames.

Seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Yang Lu finally confessed all the facts. Their family is the companion of the eldest wife, and they are also law-abiding people. However, more than ten years ago, his only son fell ill and saw many doctors. It didn't improve, and it even got worse. I asked the eldest wife, and I wanted the eldest wife to invite a famous doctor to show the child. Who knew that the eldest wife was just perfunctory, and the child would die when she saw it. It was the second wife who sent someone to invite her. A famous doctor saved the child's life.

Later, there were a few times, with the help of the second wife, the family took refuge in the second wife, and later lent money to the second wife in the name of the first wife, and it has been more than ten years now.

Jia Lian found out that there were two sets of ledgers, and the written documents were also stored in two boxes. Later, after interrogation, Yang Lu confessed that besides lending money to the second wife in Zhili, he made loans in the suburbs of Beijing out of greed. , The written evidence of Liu Ye's family was released by him in the name of Xing Yue. Why did he use Xing Yue's name to lend money? It was because he hated Mrs. Xing for being cold.

The gold and silver that were confiscated were his loan proceeds over the years, and the 4000 taels of silver that he had just collected for Mrs. Wang. As for Mrs. Wang's loan proceeds, he gave them to Mrs. Wang without taking any money.

Jia Lian checked the account and found that Mrs. Wang had made a total of 15 taels of silver in loans over the past ten years.After Jia Lian asked Jia Amnesty for instructions, he turned Yang Lu and his son to the yamen, and only handed over the bills and account books of Yang Lu and his son's own loan to the yamen.

The evidence of Mrs. Wang's loan was held in the hands of Jia She and his son. Their four big families were all prosperous and all were damaged. Now only Wang Ziteng holds an important position.What's more, just after the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the incident of the master's lending, the Rongguo Mansion may face the disaster of copying the house. After the limelight, they will settle the score together.

Cui Liu learned that her father and brother were going to be sent to the yamen by the master, so she ran to beg Xing Yue, saying that she was asking Xing Yue to let her father and brother go, for the sake of serving her so carefully for so many years, Xing Yue looked at Cui Liu amusedly. Liu said: "Cuiliu, why didn't you beg your real master, instead you begged me. Oh, look at my memory, I forgot that your real master abandoned your family, and a fire sent you The lives of the rest of the Yang family are really cruel." Seeing Cui Liu's pale face, Xing Yue had no sympathy at all, and said, "Come here, take Cui Liu out and send them to the yamen together." The Yang family When the father and daughter arrived in the Yamen prison, news of their sudden death came out within a few days. Xing Yue speculated that it might be Mrs. Wang's hands and feet.

As for the people arranged by Mrs. Wang to go to Beijing to seek justice from the Rongguo Mansion, they were stopped by Qian Shun and others before they left.As for the Four Seas Bank, they checked repeatedly and learned that it was just a transit battle, and they were very careful in doing things without leaving any traces. In addition, Mrs. Wang specially asked Zhou Run to clean up all traces for the proper operation of this matter.Jia Amnesty just sent a letter, saying that a servant heard that someone was lending money in the name of the Rongguo Mansion over there, and the government directly came forward and copied the Four Seas Bank. The officials who handled the matter settled the case early in order to curry favor with the Jia family. , All those involved were sentenced to death.

Jia pardoned Jia Lian and his son, and took the opportunity to clean up the servants of the big house. This time, Xing Yue, Jia Lian, and the old lady and the second house of Jia pardoned were all removed, and tens of thousands of taels of property were copied out.

Everyone was dazzled by the movement in Rongguo Mansion. After Jia She was reprimanded by the Holy Majesty, everyone guessed that the action in Rongguo Mansion was the Holy Majesty's intention. The slaves of Rongguo Mansion were arrogant. Domineering, maybe how it got to the ears of the Holy Majesty.

The old lady found out about this, and called Xing Yue over to give him a lecture. Xing Yue didn't say anything else this time, but confessed honestly. She couldn't escape responsibility for this matter, and said to the old lady with a smile: , This is indeed the incompetence of the daughter-in-law, who did not restrain the servants, and almost caused a catastrophe. The daughter-in-law is ignorant, but she also knows that lending money is against the law of the country. The name lending is strong."

As soon as the old lady heard this, she knew that Xing Yue meant something. The housekeeper's grandma was lending money, and the old lady murmured in her heart, it couldn't be the second child's family lending money outside.The old lady shook her head. If the old master had evidence, according to the old master's temperament, he would definitely make trouble in front of her and let her decide. How could it be so calm.

After this period of experience, Jia Lian has become a lot more stable, and he also knows a lot about the privacy methods of the back house. The viciousness of the women in the back house made Jia Lian a little wary of female sex.Because of Mrs. Wang's matter, Jia Lian didn't have the same fondness for Wang Xifeng as before, and felt a little distant, which was an unexpected joy.

It has been two months since Prince Rui promised to let Jia Lian serve in the Ministry of Rites, and there is no news yet. Both Jia She and Jia Lian thought it was because the messy things that happened at home disgusted Prince Rui, and they had no hope in their hearts for this matter. Yes, but news came that Jia Lian was in charge of the sixth grade and entered the Ministry of Rites to study.

The old lady heard the news, and sent someone to congratulate her with a gift. When Jia Zheng got the news, he called Jia Lian over and gave him a special lecture. Practical things, introductions from colleagues, nothing at all.

Jia Amnesty had never worked as a errand, so she couldn't teach Jia Lian. Xing Yue was not very clear about these things, so she could only tell Jia Lian based on her experience in the modern workplace: "Lian'er, I am also ignorant. Go to the Ministry to study tomorrow. Don't look down on your colleagues just because you are the Duke of the State and you will be appointed as a noble in the future. Those people who can be on duty in the Ministry of Rites are all capable. Besides, go In the department, listen more, watch more, do more and talk less. I think that this place is definitely not peaceful. There must be cliques and disputes. You don’t want to participate in it. As long as you don’t get involved, these people will I dare not touch you, the Rongguo Mansion is not easy to bully."

The next day, the family got up early to send Jia Lian to the Yamen.
