The Agricultural Tycoon of the Red House

"What are you doing? You and I are aboveboard, so why hide and hide. Even if we are not innocent, he, the Minister of the Household Department, can still manage the family affairs of me, Mr. Zheng!" Mentioning Jia Lian, Zheng Xu hated him. Today's situation is all thanks to Jia Lian, this fellow dares to come!

The matchmaker hurriedly shook her head, ran into the back room in a panic, opened the closet, and said to Zheng Xu while hiding: "I have a long-standing grudge with him, if I let him see me here today, my business as a matchmaker will no longer be possible." gone."

Zheng Xu was stunned for a moment, although he couldn't understand why the matchmaker would be so afraid, but he expected that the other party was Jia Lian, so there was nothing strange about it.Saying that the matchmaker was kind to him, Zheng Xu naturally followed her wishes and closed the door tightly.Fang tidied up his clothes and prepared to meet him, but when he turned his head, he saw that Jia Lian had lifted the curtain and entered, followed by six guards with knives, all of whom looked arrogant and mighty.

Zheng Xu glanced at the wardrobe from the corner of his eye in a panic, took two steps forward, and glared at Jia Lian with hatred: "What are you doing here?"

Jia Lian looked around the room with his hands behind his back, before Zheng Xu asked to let him go, he sat down with a cold face.

"Humph, I don't think you are worthy of the word 'li' at all, and I don't think you deserve the word 'li'." Zheng Xu satirized his rudeness of "don't invite yourself to sit down".

"Serve tea," Jia Lian ordered, and saw the maid in the room staring at the closet in a panic, then at him in a panic, and then at Zheng Xu for advice.

Zheng Xu didn't speak, he didn't want to entertain Jia Lian with tea, let alone welcome Jia Lian here!

"Oh, rude, talking about yourself? Is this how you entertain your superiors who are here on business?" Jia Lian asked with a sneer.

"According to the decree?" Zheng Xu laughed amusedly, "You won't be bluffing me with the imperial decree written by the emperor to the Ministry of Household again, are you?"

Jia Lian sighed: "Hehe, you can do whatever you want."

"I asked you something, answer me!" Zheng Xu felt that he was being ignored by Jia Lian, and was even angrier.

"The emperor and empress asked me to persuade you." Jia Lian looked at Zheng Xu's current appearance with interest and laughed.

Zheng Xu fell silent, firstly because of the content of Jia Lian's words, and secondly because Jia Lian's smile made him uncomfortable.What's more, he came here to train him by order, what can he say!

This time the servant girl had to serve tea, Jia Lian immediately clapped her hands and pushed everyone in the room away.

"Why did the Holy Majesty and the Empress insist on asking you to come?"

Jia Lian looked at Zheng Xu with sympathetic eyes, "They thought I raised pigs well, so they sent me to visit you and see if I can teach you well. Tell me, can I do it?"

Zheng Xu's eyes turned red with anger: "Of course not!" He is a human being, how can he compare with a pig.Jia Lian was deliberately insulting him, so angry, really angry!

"I don't think so either. You are much harder to control than a pig." Jia Lian's seemingly well-thought-out words made Zheng Xu instantly annoyed.His nostrils were dilated, his eyes were green, and he stared at Jia Lian viciously, as if he wanted to bite Jia Lian to death.

Jia Lian had expected this guy to be like this, which is why he brought his guards here.He had told the guards to wait outside, and if Zheng Xu went crazy, it would be easy to arrest him immediately.

"Jia Lian, what exactly are you going to convey, tell me quickly, and get out of here immediately."

"There's nothing to convey. The emperor and the empress sent me to persuade you. Naturally, I'm going to put on a show, otherwise I'm going against the sacred order." Jia Lian was not in a hurry, holding the tea bowl in a polite manner, and blowing gently.

Zheng Xu forced himself to calm down a bit, no matter how much he hated Jia Lian, he couldn't move him now, so he endured it, and when he recovered, he would have a chance to take revenge.Zheng Xu has this self-confidence, since the emperor and the queen's aunt are willing to send people to persuade him, they still care about him.It could be seen that her Aunt Queen was playing the old trick again, giving a sweet date with a stick, and he knew that Aunt Queen would definitely miss him, the only seedling of the Zheng family.

"Okay, I've seen you, and I know what you want to persuade me. You can go now."

"It's only a little longer, wait a minute, it's still worth a cup of tea." Jia Lian flipped the lid on the tea.

Zheng Xu was full of anger and turned his back on Jia Lian.

Jia Lian took two deep breaths, but still felt a strange smell in the room.He seemed to have smelled this smell before...

"The emperor wants me to persuade you. I should always persuade you. Whether you listen or not is up to you. I have to say what I have to say." Jia Lian put down his teacup and took out an envelope from his sleeve.

Zheng Xu turned to look at him impatiently, and felt even more strange when he saw the letter in his hand.

Jia Lian read directly while watching, "You shouldn't stop wives and marry again, let alone occupy the latrine and stop shitting!? It's not proper to be an official and drink with your little wife every day at home..." Jia Lian read and read the words The speed slowed down, and the corners of his mouth curled up to laugh. What he said next made people laugh even more. Jia Lian really couldn't say it, so he just summed it up a little, "Misconduct, lustful and inaction, not doing business properly, being a husband in vain, and insulting the family style... ...Probably that's what it means."

Zheng Xu frowned and stared at Jia Lian, in a state of bewilderment, the latter was acceptable, but what was the former?That kind of rude words came from Jia Lian's mouth?No, regardless of the front and back, he shouldn't accept it!

"It's all wrong, it's all wrong! I'm not what you said at all. It's because I value love and righteousness and treat Rurou well that I want to marry her in responsibly. I take care of her, drink with her, The flowers before the moon and the moon are more reflective of my 'love'. If I behave like this and sit upright, my character will naturally be fine, and it is not lustful to feel sorry for my wife. As for being an official and doing nothing, it is because I was too busy during that time. There will be omissions. That's why your accusations against me are wrong! Jia Lian, you are a villain, you are bloody, and I will definitely sue you for framing in front of my aunt later!"

"That's right, I'm not afraid," Jia Lian smiled, raised her eyebrows and shook the paper in Zheng Xu's hand, "I just read it according to the above, this is just a 'public opinion survey'. Simply put, it's just asking What the common people think of you. So what I said just now is the opinion of a hundred common people who have been investigated, not mine.”

Zheng Xu felt that he had been tricked, and was furious.

"Hehe, are you disappointed? I'm sorry, but I'm very happy." Jia Lian drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, got up and left.

Zheng Xu stood there blankly, his eyes were red, and his fists were trembling slightly.He gritted his teeth in hatred, bit, bit again...

With a plop, the matchmaker rolled out of the cabinet, gasping for breath, "I almost suffocated me, what did you put in that cabinet, it smells weird."

"Smelly beads for repelling insects." The servant girl replied in a low voice.

Clothes in this world are really troublesome, and they have to keep out insects.The matchmaker patted the dust on her skirt, and said to the angry Zheng Xu: "You should find a way to rescue Rurou as soon as possible. It is not a good thing to be an official servant. She has already broken her melon, so she will definitely not be able to enter the palace. Going to the Northwest to work as a military prostitute will ruin her life."

Zheng Xu was so frightened that his head was sweating, he hurriedly said, "I'll go and rescue her right now."

The matchmaker nodded, and before coming out of the corner gate of Zheng's house, she carefully looked around, and when she saw no suspicious person, she lowered her head and hurried out, and turned into the first alley at the intersection.

Jia Lian came out of the tea shop, looking at the direction in which the woman disappeared, a little lost.

Xing'er smiled and whispered: "Master, it's very beautiful!"

Jia Lian glanced at him coldly with sideways eyes.

Xing'er slapped herself, knowing that she was overthinking.Who wouldn't be tempted to see such a coquettish woman?A man would think that way!His father's heart must be made of iron and will not move.

Xing'er scratched his nose and asked where his grandfather was going next.

"Xiao Lizhuang." Jia Lian squinted his eyes, and the figure of the woman just now echoed in his mind, and he always felt a little familiar.Looking at her guilty conscience just now, it is very likely that she is the person hiding in Zheng Xu's closet.It's all because Zheng Xu and his maids were so poorly concealed. When Jia Lian first entered the door, he could tell something was wrong with the closet from their eyes. Combined with the smell in the room, it must be a woman.

Jia Lian was puzzled, so he ordered Xing'er to send someone to keep an eye on the woman and find out her identity.

Xing'er was stunned for a while, and hurriedly sent the young man to chase after him. "Master, you just said it now, because you're afraid you won't be able to catch up."

"She came from the Zheng family, and the doorkeeper of the Zheng family will always know her identity."

Xing'er hurriedly said yes, and lamented that the master was smart.Why did he forget that when outsiders come to visit the mansion, they must first declare their family name.Xing'er hurriedly called the boy back, gave him ten taels of silver, and told him to find a way to inquire quietly.

Jia Lian took Xing'er alone, and rode a fast horse to Xiaozaozhuang.The steward immediately led Jia Lian to the place where the incident happened. The withered grass at the foot of the mountain was burnt black, and more than a dozen plum trees were burned to death.

The steward led Jia Lian to the other side again, this time it was halfway up the mountain, a place about ten feet square was burned, and there was only a little black ash left on the ground, which was the trace of burning a few days ago.

"We found this first place when we were patrolling the mountain. We thought it was some savage in Zhuangzi who thought it was cold when he looked at the mountain, so he left sparks. Because we found it in time, it was nothing serious. Although the trees on both sides were injured Fortunately, I did not die. I asked the people in the village later, but no one would admit it, so I just tried to frighten them, so as to prevent it from happening again next time. Unexpectedly, last night, the bottom of the mountain suddenly caught fire. Fortunately, Ah Liang and the others discovered it in time while they were working in the field and extinguished the fire. Otherwise, if the fire spreads, the plum trees all over the mountain might be lost!" Feng Guan said fearfully afterwards.

The plums were still green and unripe, so they ran to deliberately burn the mountain. Obviously, someone had resentment for personal revenge.

Jia Lian asked Feng Guanshi: "Has there been any conflicts in Zhuangzi recently?"

"No, everyone is friendly, and they have wine and meat with the second master, so how can they have any complaints." Feng Guanshi was puzzled.

"Xiao Li Zhuang is located in a remote place, and there are few people around. And those families, we all know that they are honest and responsible, and they have received little favors from Xiao Li Zhuang. They should not avenge themselves." Jia Lian looked at the burning place again. , the one at the bottom of the mountain faces the farm road, and the one at the halfway up the mountain coincides with Guanshi Feng patrolling the mountain.If he had chosen to attack in the dead of night when no one was around, the mountain would have been burnt down long ago, and it would not be left until today.

It looks like it was deliberately set on fire to attract attention.This person knows where the people in Zhuangzi work, and also knows when Steward Feng patrols the mountains, because Steward Feng's time of patrolling the mountains is random and irregular, so the person who set the fire should be very familiar with the situation of Zhuangzi, and he cannot be an outsider .

"Have any new people entered the village recently?" Jia Lian asked.

Steward Feng thought for a while, then shook his head, "No, they are all old people. Even if someone comes from Zhuangzi, it should be someone called by the second master. We will not accept outsiders casually."

"Then is there any newcomer from someone's family, distant relatives, etc. You are not familiar with them." Jia Lian said.

Feng Guanshi suddenly realized, "There is one, Ah Liang just married a beautiful wife two days ago, does that count?"

"Marry a wife?"

"Ah Liang is a refugee who escaped from the south. He has been here for two years. He is kind and responsible. It is a pity that he has no relatives. He is the only old man in the family. He does not even have a relative who speaks seriously when he returns home from work every day. Five or six days ago, Ah Liang went to the capital, and brought a woman with him when he came back, saying that he wanted to marry her as his wife. We all saw that the girl was very handsome, although her hands were a little dirty, but It's quite white and tender, and it doesn't look like the hands of our farmer's family. We were joking in private, did A Liang rob some of the young ladies back?"

"It was only later that I found out that the girl, like Ah Liang, is a miserable person with no family and no relatives. I reported the matter of Ah Liang's marriage to Butler Shan the day before. Cough, it's a simple matter of marrying a wife Set up two tables of wine, wear some red clothes, and make an obeisance, and that's it." Feng Guanshi continued.

When Jia Lian arrived at the village, he said to Guanshi Feng, "Call someone here."

After a while, Guanshi Feng knelt down in front of Jia Lian in a panic: "Second Master, he's gone! I got your order and sent someone to look for A Liang and her daughter-in-law immediately. They're all gone. There's no one in the house, and the luggage is gone." A little less. I guess they ran away when they heard you were coming! This A-Liang really failed the kindness that the Second Master gave him."

"Immediately send people to chase after him in two ways, east and west," Jia Lian said.

"Where's North and South?" Feng Guan asked puzzled.

"No need." Jia Lian said.These two roads can go to the capital, one is near, and the other is far away.Since that person has a personal enmity with him, he should be from the capital.

Feng Guanshi was still puzzled, but even if the second master deliberately ordered him to do so, he would follow through.Immediately, he found all the boys in the village who could ride horses, and chased them in two groups, east and west.

When Jia Lian drank the third cup of tea, he finally heard shouts from outside the door.People are back!

Jia Lian looked up at a man and a woman who were escorted in.He recognized Ah Liang, and met him once or twice when he was working in the fields. He was down-to-earth and willing to work. He was indeed as simple and honest as Feng Guanshi said.Moreover, his grafting skills are also very good, and the plums in his hands have a high survival rate.

As soon as Ah Liang saw his master, he kowtowed to make amends, said many guilty words, and begged Jia Lian to punish him for elopement.

As soon as Jia Lian heard it, he knew that A Liang was being used by someone, and his eyes flicked from A Liang to the relatively quiet woman beside him.She lowered her head, her body trembled a little, her hands on the ground were indeed very white and tender, and indeed they did not come from ordinary farmers.Looking at her unruly demeanor when she is in danger, I guess this woman is someone who has seen a lot of the world, most likely she has stayed in a wealthy family.

"what's your name?"

"Xizi."

"Real name!" Jia Lian suddenly said fiercely.

The girl raised her head in fear, met Jia Lian's eyes, immediately lowered her neck and lowered her head, "Bao...Bao...Baochan, this servant is called Baochan."

"Aren't you a refugee? Since you haven't sold your body yet, why do you call yourself a slave, and you call yourself so smooth." Jia Lian raised his chin slightly, stared at the girl, but chanted her name in his heart, feeling a little familiar.

"me……"

Jia Lian turned to look at A Liang: "Ask something that shouldn't be asked, but you must answer it. Is there a real relationship between you and her?"

A Liang blushed in embarrassment, and shook his head at Jia Lian. "Xizi said that she still doesn't know me well, and asked me to wait another two days."

"Let's be honest." Jia Lian saw that Baochan was trembling with fright, tears streaming down his face, so he didn't push her too hard, obviously there was someone behind her who ordered her.

When Jia Lian thought of this, his mind suddenly shook, Baochan?Xia Jingui!

"Did your girl ask you to come?" Jia Lian asked before Baochan could open his mouth.

Baochan was so frightened that he cried, but he didn't expect that Lord Jia could see through him at a glance.She hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Lian, as if she had admitted the matter.

Jia Lian sent away the idlers and others, asking nothing but the reason.He really wanted to know why Xia Jingui suddenly sent Baochan here to set fire.

Baochan shook his head: "It's not my girl, how could it be a girl, it's too late for her to admire you."

After Baochan finished speaking, seeing Jia Lian's face was very cold, he quickly twitched his mouth, "Your servant has nothing to say, you should be beaten! Mr. Jia, it is actually... my lord, if I tell the truth, can you save Baochan's life? Baochan escaped the punishment of his wife?"

Jia Lian smiled: "You girl, you are very smart and know how to negotiate terms. But since you confessed that your wife envoy sent you here, what can you give me in exchange?"

Baochan was startled again, and only then did he realize that he had an answer in his question.

Jia Lian thought that the only thing he had offended Liu Shi was Xia Jingui's reckless purchase of strawberries, which finally caused Liu Shi to pay the money.

Originally, she hoped that that incident would teach Xia Jingui a lesson, but she didn't want to make her mother hate her.

Buying and selling is voluntary, she, an imperial businessman, doesn't understand such a simple truth.

Now that the land strawberries have come down, the price has plummeted from six hundred gold at the beginning to ten cents a catty now. The comparison at the end is quite different.Although ten cents a catty of strawberries is still expensive for ordinary people, it is too cheap for those who bought strawberries with gold in the past.

However, Jia Lian had already stated in advance that the price of strawberries will continue to drop, and those people are still willing to buy them because they want to get the honor of "serving the country with loyalty". Everyone knows that the money is filled into the imperial treasury, so naturally Jia Lian will not be blamed. .Moreover, people sometimes buy strawberries for the paper certificate issued by the imperial court.Basically, when ten gold and twenty gold were a catty, showing off donation documents has become a popular fashion in the aristocratic circle. Everyone rushed to buy strawberries to show his boldness in the aristocratic circle.

The only difference between Mrs. Liu and these people is that she bought it because her daughter was forced to do so.Unwilling to reconcile, she kept letting out a sigh of relief, which began to swell bigger and bigger as the price of strawberries soared all the way down.

In the end, she couldn't swallow that huge breath, so she sent someone to trouble Jia Lian.Jia Lian's current status is extremely noble and powerful, and the Liu family dare not rashly contradict him.After planning in secret for a long time, he found a way that was both safe and able to relieve his anger.Regarding Jia Lian's temperament, Liu Shi also inquired a little bit, except for those crops and flowers, he didn't care about anything.Revenge naturally involves poking at people's weaknesses and destroying what the family cares about most.That's why she sent Baochan to pretend to be close to Ah Liang and secretly set the plum tree on fire.

Baochan is also a fine person, she knows Jia Lian is powerful, and she can't go against his wife's arrangement, so she set off two fires when they were discovered.The purpose is to leave a way out for herself, once her behavior is discovered, she can still live.

Now, she was really caught by Lord Jiahou.

Baochan was even more afraid when he saw that Lord Jiahou was so shrewd.He took the initiative to show his favor and told Jia Lian the story, so that the shrewd Lord Hou could understand her flattery and show mercy outside the law.

Jia Lian just talked about the matter, and it is true that this girl was playing smart to keep the whole plum forest he took pains to graft.Based on this, Jia Lian will not make things difficult for her.It's just that he couldn't forgive Liu's behavior. Before she came to do things, she should have known in her heart what would happen if she poked his weakness.

Jia Lian ordered Baochan to write a confession, sign it and draw a deposit, and immediately sent it to the government.Everything flows smoothly, simply and neatly, in just half an hour.

"If you want to save your life and fly away with the money, you have to be a witness and confront Liu Shi in court. If you don't have the guts to commit crimes and make meritorious service, then you and Liu Shi can only be locked up together." Jia Lian's words were meaningless. Give Baochan the second choice.

Now Baochan was terrified of being condemned by Mrs. Liu, so he nodded immediately and chose the first option.

Immediately, Baochan was sent to Gyeonggi Province by Steward Feng.

Zhaochen was bored chasing flies in his own room, when someone said there was a case, Zhaochen was too lazy to answer and continued chasing flies.Then he heard that the case was sent by Jia Lian, Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and suddenly tens of thousands of flies flew over Zhaochen's heart.

It's this Master Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs again, why is he so idle every day, looking for cases everywhere.All the cases that have been cracked in Gyeonggi Prefecture recently were sent by him.Thanks to him, he was praised by the emperor two days ago.Such a troublesome master at Zhaochen's booth didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Forget it, no one can neglect this one.

Zhaochen bid farewell to the fly, and asked someone to close the doors and windows, so he must not let the fly out just now.When he comes back, he will continue to grab it with his bare hands!

This time the case was full of evidence again, Liu knelt down in the hall, struggled to evade several times, faced with strong witness testimony, she was basically speechless.Zhaochen immediately convicted Liu of deliberate murder, arson and destruction of other people's property, and sent him to jail.

When Xia Jingui learned of this, she was very sad, so she sent Qian to see Mrs. Liu in prison.

Liu cried and regretted, blaming herself for being reckless, "I underestimated him after all, and thought I was planning everything..."

"Mother, how could you do this? That's my daughter's sweetheart." Xia Jingui said painfully.

"Bastard, you are daydreaming like a demon every day because of that ignorant Lord Jia Hou. I did that for your own good, to help you vent your anger!" Liu Shi gave Xia Jingui a loving look, resentful Crying, "I'm sorry for your father under the nine springs. I failed to discipline you well. I am ashamed of him."

"Mother, you're the one living in the prison!" Xia Jingui objected.

"When is it, you're still talking about this. Hurry up and use the money to find someone to find a way to get me out. Jingui don't be afraid, our family is an imperial merchant after all, and all the flowers and plants in the palace are offered by our family. Although the business has not been good these years, the money should be enough. And our connections in the palace are all trying to get active, and get my mother out!" Liu looked around the cell with excitement, and saw a mouse suddenly Drilling out of the straw and then into the hole in the corner, I screamed in fright, and my body began to tremble.

"Mother, we are no longer imperial merchants. The decree just made in the palace this morning has been withdrawn."

"What? How did this happen, why?" Liu screamed.

"What did you say that you are not a virtuous person, and the flowers and plants you planted are not clean, etc. In short, you finally deprived the qualifications of the Xia family's royal merchants. Originally, most of the flowers and plants in the palace were supplied by the Jia family's small flower farm. Our family's income It has already been reduced by more than half, and this time I am afraid that it will completely decline and there will be no recovery." Xia Jingui has studied housekeeping with Liu Shi in the past two years, and has learned a little bit.

Mrs. Liu was filled with hatred. She was a beautiful and wealthy woman at the beginning, but she probably never thought that she would be forced to go to jail two years later because of the second master of the Rongfu Lian, and had nowhere to go.

Liu Shi sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh and began to cry.Talking about the old master and the old master in his mouth, the meaning in the words is mostly to complain, and even more to let him go.

"Mother, don't be like this. If you leave, I will be the only one left in the family. What do you want me to do?" Xia Jingui cried and promised Liu that she would find someone reliable to help and get Liu out of the cell. .

Xia Jingui left the government office and actually went to beg a few old friends of the Xia family, but all of them were turned away.

The carriage wobbled past Rongning Street for some reason, Xia Jingui was stuck for a while, and asked someone to stop the carriage, and she looked at the road of Rongning Street through the window screen.

Coincidentally, I saw Jia Lian turning out of the street with a young man on a horse.Xia Jingui hurriedly asked the coachman to follow, and followed all the way out of the city.

While queuing at the gate of the city, Xia Jingui saw Jia Lian in front of her leave the gate first and run away.When they arrived, Jia Lian was nowhere to be seen.

The carriage stopped awkwardly outside the city gate, not knowing which direction to choose.

Xing'er rode over to follow, jumped off the horse, Xing'er knocked hard on the carriage, and said to the curtained car window: "Young lady, please take care of yourself, don't follow my master anymore, what will happen to you if you run into him, what should you do in your heart?" Clear. As for the case, I advise the girl not to have any wrong thoughts, and just wait for the yamen to judge according to the law."

After Xing'er finished speaking, he got on the horse and left in the dust.

Xia Jingui sat alone in the carriage and cried for a long time, Fang clenched his handkerchief tightly, and hid in the carriage for a good meal, which made the carriage shake from side to side, and the two horses neighed a few times because of the deployment.Xia Jingui was mad enough, finally pursed her bloody lips, gritted her teeth and turned back.

……

A few days later, the empress felt that Zheng Xu had had enough time to dry out, so she summoned him into the palace, and the emperor happened to be there too.The queen originally wanted the emperor to completely eradicate the misunderstanding of him.Unexpectedly, Zheng Xu still refuses to do his duty, and clamors to get Ru Rou back as an official slave.

After the emperor heard this, he didn't say anything to Zheng Xu. Hearing that the empress still had the face to intercede, he was furious, and said harshly to the empress: "If you don't make a choice, even I will not be able to keep your post!"

After Zheng Xu returned home, Ben was still worried that his words would offend the Queen's aunt.Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of that day, he was promoted to be the servant of the household department.

Haha, Tobe servant! ?

That's great, this time he can face Jia Lian in the household department in a fair and honest way!Jia Lian, watch how I deal with you.As the saying goes, one fish is one pot of soup, as long as you have me, you will never be able to be in Hubu again from now on!

Zheng Xu was overjoyed, thinking that the Queen's Aunt loved him after all, and it turned out that she was bluffing herself when she was in the palace.He was still very worried about Rurou's matter, so he hurriedly sent someone to ask for it.In the evening, they actually brought Rurou to her.Sure enough, being a servant of the household department is beautiful, and he can do everything smoothly. It's hard for Jia Lian, who is a minister, to be so arrogant.

Zheng Xu has already planned 32 plans in his mind, and when he goes to the household department tomorrow, he will cash in on Jia Lian one by one, making him completely embarrassing!

That night, Zheng Xu was in a very happy mood, and entangled with Rurou Enai until the middle of the night before falling asleep.Even lost He Lishu's regular wife who took their children back to her mother's house, she didn't bother to think about it at all!

The next day, Ru Rou wakes up after being dizzy from sleep, and pushes Zheng Xu who is next to her, but she doesn't see him move after waiting for a long time.Called two more times, still no response.Ru Rou pushed, felt the coldness of his body, quickly pushed the quilt off his face with her hands, only to see a hideous white face.

"Ah - dead"

In just one day, everyone in the capital knew the news that Zheng Xu, the new servant of the household department, had died suddenly at home.

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Amnesty was sitting in front of Jia Lian, fingering his fingers to settle accounts.

"Son, your household department is a dangerous place. If you calculate it carefully, since last winter, Shangshu Zhou Qingyuan, servant Duan Zhiyong, and this new servant Zheng Xu, who has just been in office for a day, all have not died well."
