Chapter 194 You Can't Defraud Others, Can You? (Thanks to the leader of the book friend niema for the reward!)

After Jia Heng finished writing the memorial, he waited for it to dry, then called a Jin Yiwei and Cai Quan, and said: "Brother Cai, you two, before it is dark and the palace gate is not locked, deliver this memorial to the palace. door, call the inner eunuch to submit it up."

Because it involved some matters related to the handling of the Three Rivers Gang, a few words could not be leaked, so Cai Quan had to make a trip in person.

As for being accompanied by Jin Yiwei, it would be cheaper to be close to Miyagi at night like this.

His current submission is not actually an official way to the Secretary of General Administration, but a private submission.

It's not that I haven't thought about going to the palace to face Chen, but it's not good to have face saints too often.

Cai Quan put away the memorial, with a solemn face, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will go back as soon as I go."

That Jin Yiwei also clasped his fists to accept the order.

Afterwards, the two left the Rongguo Mansion and went to Miyagi.

On this side, after Jia Heng finished his work, he also put down his pen, looked at Ping'er beside him, and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to wait, let's go together, you didn't find a chair to sit down just now, you just stood there , Are you tired?"

Ping'er witnessed the whole process of this Uncle Heng writing the memorandum. Hearing this, he suppressed a little thought in his heart. Hearing this, his white greasy face was a little flattered, and said: "Uncle Heng is a person who handles big things. It is also my blessing to serve Uncle Heng's pen and ink, let alone stand for a while..."

As he spoke, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he stopped quickly, but he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with what he said next, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and a blush quietly floated on his greasy face for a while.

At this moment, Sister Feng came over with a sweet smile, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and said in a pretty voice, "How long do you want to stand?"

Just about to make a joke.

Jia Heng said softly: "How can I let Miss Ping'er stand until dark? There are not many words in the memorial, so it will be finished soon."

Sister Feng and Ping'er: "..."

Sister Feng's Yurong paused slightly, looking at the young man with a clear face and warm eyes, a circle of ripples appeared in her heart, and she had a higher opinion of his character.

Because, the answering of the conversation was done without smoke and fire, and the embarrassment was resolved without leaving any traces.

Ping'er blinked her bright eyes, looked at the young man, met a pair of warm gazes, her heart suddenly jumped, and for some reason, she felt that she missed half a beat.

Jia Heng said: "The account books over there should be almost checked, let's go and have a look."

Then, he went to Jia Zheng's side.

Looking at the boy's back, Sister Feng suddenly chuckled, and then looked at Ping'er, but Ping'er also cast a pair of gentle eyes on the boy.

Sister Feng Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she whispered to Ping'er's emerald pearl earring, "Little hooves, are you feeling spring?"

Ping'er was taken aback, and then her cheeks turned pale and pink, "Grandma is talking crazy, there are still people over there."

"I'm close, it's okay." Sister Feng said in a charming voice, looking at Ping'er with a smile.

This Ping'er, if she really wanted to give it to that Uncle Heng, she was also a little bit reluctant, this girl was so in her heart, it made people like it just by looking at it.

As for Lian Er?

Hmph, that person can't do enough with her alone, what else do you want to do?

"But it can't be given to that Uncle Heng now, it needs to be simmered slowly, slowly, it's best to be a concubine." Thinking of this, Sister Feng felt a little embarrassed.

What she is doing now, why does she feel a little like a pimp, but it is like the Wang Ganniang mentioned in the villain's book?

Pooh……

Ping'er is the eldest daughter of Huanghua, besides, how can Wang Ganniang be as beautiful as a fairy?

If Wang Ganniang is as beautiful as her, then the official Ximen... Well, what is she thinking?

Ping'er looked at Sister Feng, whose face was blue and white, and was startled, and said with concern: "Grandma, are you feeling unwell?"

"Uh, I'm fine, even this day is quite tiring." Sister Feng Liu Yemei raised her eyebrows, "When the accounts are compiled over there, I'll take it home to take a good shower and sleep."

Ping'er heard the words and nodded.

On this side, Jia Heng listened to the summary of the two accountants, and the final account book was fixed at 58 taels of silver, which was a bit lower than the 63 taels of Dongfu.

The people in the hall gasped, they had been greedy for ink for ten years, and it was a huge amount of 58 taels of silver.

And Lai Da, Wu Xindeng, and Shan Daliang have been in charge of the Xifu for ten years, how many bad debts are there?

"No wonder, the money in the mansion is like flowing water every year. Five or sixty thousand taels of silver a year are dragged into my house by these bastards, why don't they fight famine everywhere!" Jia She said: "This gang of dog slaves! Hateful and murderous!"

He took risks and smuggled ironware and grain to the grassland, and the profit was only tens of thousands of taels a trip. Now these dog slaves, sitting in the house, don’t have to take any risks. He wants to change...

Damn, he was so confused!

He wants to kill these dog slaves!

Jia Zheng also looked gloomy, speechless, overwhelmed by the heavy figure of 58 taels of silver.

Daiyu, who was separated by a wall, looked up at Tanchun, and said softly: "This is still a ten-year account, and if it is longer, it will probably not be found."

Tanchun sighed, and said: "The evils in the mansion don't last for a day. In a family of a century-old prince like ours, the accumulated evils are getting worse day by day. It is said that the accumulated evils are hard to come back. It can't be fixed either."

Mrs. Wang's expression was silent. Although she didn't take this seriously, she had to admit from the bottom of her heart that Mr. Heng in Dongfu was a good knife. Otherwise, the old lady would not be able to touch Mr. Lai in one day.

"My lord, the confessions of those people have been tortured."

Just when the people in the hall and behind the wall were either looking at each other or gnashing their teeth in hatred, two soldiers also stepped into the hall, holding a stack of papers with confessions in their hands.

Jia Heng nodded, took a stack of confessions, and said, "I've circulated them all."

As he said, he picked up the confession, divided it into several parts, and handed it to Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Sister Feng who were on the side for circulation.

Well, because Sister Feng didn't know many words, Ping'er at the side said softly: "Master Heng, I'll take a look and talk to grandma later."

Jia Heng nodded, handed the confession to Ping'er, then lowered his eyes, and began to read it intently.

There are not many words in the confession, they are all dialogues, mainly how to deceive the master, so it is also very quick to read.

It’s just that Jia Heng’s complexion gradually became strange. In Geyin’s confession, I don’t know if the psychological defense line of the several chief executives who were tortured collapsed. The master's opinion is also recorded on paper.

For example, the confession of the comprador Qian Hua in his hand, the man said: "The political master is ignorant of economic affairs, and the masters are also ignorant. It is Lian's second grandmother who has a sour face and sharp eyes. You need to be careful."

Afterwards, Shan Daliang described the greed for money and silver in building pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and even opened a map gun. How much stone, timber, and craftsmen are used, isn’t it up to us? With one point and five points, can they go and check them one by one?”

The head of the administration surnamed Liu said: "Although the second grandma Lian is a sharp and shrewd person, she doesn't know how much it costs for such small items as rouge, water powder, fruits and vegetables. She is a woman, and she only wants to flatter the old lady. How can she manage these things? If it doesn't work, just take Erye Lian to Jiaofangsi's brothel a few times. There are too many criminals there, and they are all good families. ! As for the ladies, as long as they prevaricate, they can only swallow their anger."

Wu Xindeng told some truths. He said: "The old lady is the most benevolent and kind, so I don't pay much attention to these things. Everything pays attention to the family and the prosperity of everything. Our daughter-in-law in the inner house often waits on her. As long as the old lady is coaxed, the following These masters, even if they see something is wrong, which one would dare to say anything? It’s just that the elbows are bent and hidden in the sleeves.”

The more Jia Heng looked at it, the more strange his gaze became, thinking, these people can't be tortured, but they said everything.

Putting down the confession in his hand, he turned his eyes to look at Jia She and Jia Zheng who were at the side. Both of them had livid faces, and the paper in their hands was trembling.

Jia She was furious, his eyes were blood red, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Because, someone above said that he was stupid, greedy, lustful, and gave him a concubine, so he fooled it.

Yes, he remembered, the concubine in his room who had slept with several times a few years ago, seemed to be sent over from Suzhou and Hangzhou by a comprador under Shan Daliang.

As for Sister Feng... She looked suspiciously at Ping'er at the side, saw her face was ugly, her eyes were angry, and she knew something was wrong, so she frowned and asked, "How did these bastards fool the master? Ping'er, tell me explain."

Ping Eryu paused for a moment, smiled wryly, and said: "Grandma, these are some bastard words that chew on the master's tongue, so don't listen to them."

There are people on the board who say bad things about her, saying that she is like dough, kneading it at will, and can't beat three farts with a stick.

Sister Feng frowned, and said, "Tell me, I want to hear how these slaves organize their master behind the scenes."

Ping'er faltered, but still refused to speak, and said: "Good grandma, these are some unsavory bastard words, carefully dirty grandma's ears."

Sister Feng felt a little anxious, and was about to call Caiming, when she suddenly looked up at Jia Heng who was at the side, and said, "Brother Heng, tell me."

Jia Heng's face was light, and he said: "I have said that you are sour-faced, sharp-eyed and hard-hearted, not easy to fool, you need to be vigilant, and some say that you are a woman who flatters the old lady on weekdays and doesn't care about these things. If it doesn’t work, take Jia Lian to visit the brothel under the Jiaofang Secretary a few more times, let him say good things, there... the rest of the words are not easy to say, you can experience it yourself."

Sister Feng's complexion changed, she was ashamed and hated, and said: "Okay, these dog slaves!"

Why does Lian Er like to visit the Jiaofang Division? How many shameless things they have done without telling her!

And Jia Lian, she said, sometimes, she smells of rouge and gouache on her body, and she socializes every day, that is, she goes to the Jiaofang Secretary to socialize?

After a long time, Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty finished the circulation, their faces were blue and red, and they were both ashamed and angry.

It turned out that in the eyes of the servants, they were actually...

Jia Heng said: "Judging from the confession, nearly half of the 58 taels of silver was stolen by Lai Da."

If you add Lai Er's 63 taels, exactly [-] taels of silver, of course it can't be too accurate, because some earlier figures are unknown, and the Lai family's life is extravagant and does not go to Jia's mansion, this number should be relative. reliable.

Jia Zheng sighed heavily, looked into the distance, and said: "The government is incompetent, how can these cunning slaves lie to this day."

It's embarrassing enough to be fooled by a servant, but in the end, they just obviously think you're a fool, and no one can accept it.

In particular, Jia She's face was gloomy, his eyes almost devoured people, and he said viciously: "These dog slaves eat and wear my Jia's clothes, and chew maggots behind their backs behind the master's back. Report to the officials! Put them in prison! All of them are strangled." It's dead!"

Jia Heng shook his head secretly, but with a silent expression, he said: "Come here first to check the accounts, and the next step is to recover the money. It's getting late today, so go here first."

Jia Amnesty said anxiously: "Brother Heng, strike while the iron is hot. In the early morning of tomorrow, I will send a servant to raid these houses. By the way, Miss Feng, I will also detain the wives of these people who are in charge of the inner house. Get up! Take the money from my Jia family, one or two can't be less!"

Mrs. Xing also had an ugly face, and echoed: "We can't let these people go!"

Sister Feng frowned, and looked at Jia Heng who was at the side.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "First put all the wives in charge of the house in custody, be careful, and don't startle the old lady."

Because Shan Daliang's family, Wu Xindeng's family, and their daughters-in-law are now in charge of the inner house and serving Jiamu.

Mrs. Xing said: "Wang Shanbao's family, you go with Feng girl!"

Jia Heng watched this scene quietly, keeping his expression on.

He saw Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing's acting as monsters, and kept silent, because his initial goal of awakening the Jia family from the dream of wealth and prosperity had already been achieved.

All that's left is to sit and watch Jia She and Mrs. Xing faint, jumping up and down!

The dance is so angry that people hate it, people hate it!

"With such a large sum of money, except for the Lai family, the other families can recover more than 30 taels of silver. It shouldn't be a big problem. The money is touching, and the two houses are bound to make a fuss. The superficial harmony that was maintained is completely broken." Jia Heng's eyes were deep, thinking.

Previously, when he found out that Raja Mansion’s business was not going to work, he had already planned to change his mind and let the Jia Mansion hang out for a while, a few 10 taels of silver, which was a lot more, but in fact it wasn’t much, so let them make trouble for a while.

However, Jia Heng suddenly stood on the sidelines, and the aggressive appearance of Jia She and Mrs. Xing made Sister Feng panic.

If her father-in-law and mother-in-law intervene in chasing money, she can only sit by and serve.

"No, without this Master Heng, nothing can be done." Sister Feng Danfeng turned her eyes, thinking, and quickly suppressed the anger she had just felt because of Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "Brother Heng, look at how this matter is going to work." Law? Didn’t you copy Lai Da’s house earlier? You still need to take care of it.”

Jia Zheng also looked at Jia Heng, and said softly, "Zi Yu..."

Jia Heng groaned and said: "I checked the accounts in the West Mansion. I originally came here to help at the invitation of the old lady to the East Mansion the day before yesterday. Now that I have succeeded, everything is much simpler in the matter of chasing the money, and the melon fields and plums are all gone. It's not good for me to intervene any more when it comes to banking and business, besides, I'm busy with business these two days, and Sister-in-Law Feng should be able to handle the rest, so let's go here first."

Jia Zheng's lips moved, but in the end he was blocked by the words "busy with business".

Hearing the words, Jia She suppressed Cai Cai's anger, was overjoyed, quickly stopped talking, and said: "Zi Yu, it's important that you go to the emperor's envoy. As for these evil slaves, leave them to Xifu, and I will ask Lian'er to help them." Feng girl."

When Sister Feng heard this sound, she panicked and immediately winked at Jia Heng.

Seeing Jia Heng as if he didn't see it, his heart became more and more anxious, but he was so powerful that he didn't know what to do.

Jia Heng's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "It's nothing else, just these two accountants, and the Jingying brothers who came to help, the West Mansion granted some Cheng Yi, as for me, since I am a member of the same clan, there is no need to be so polite. "

Jia Amnesty smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, you must not treat the brothers who came to help you badly."

When Sister Feng heard the words, her heart felt cold, and Dan Feng felt a sense of powerlessness when she saw the indifferent young man.

But I can't blame them, they have all helped this step, and they are so busy that they take time to write the memorabilia for delivery to the palace.

What else should I do?

You can't blackmail people, can you?

It seems like people are busy with business.

Mrs. Wang, who was separated by a wall, frowned, looked at Tanchun and Li Wan with a quiet face, and couldn't help saying: "People often say, help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, why did Brother Heng let go? "

Li Wan and Tanchun: "..."

Daiyu pursed her pink lips, raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Wang, and sighed inwardly.

"Auntie has prejudices in her heart, and the crux is still because of Brother Bao..."

This young girl is shrewd and quick-witted, and because she is an outsider of Jia's mansion, she is able to watch the delicate relationship between Jia Heng and Rongguo Mansion with a cold eye.

In the previous Rongqing Hall, Jia Heng taught Baoyu a lesson. Could Mrs. Wang not hate it?

Once preconceived and prejudiced, what Jia Heng does is not in line with her wishes.

"It's just that Uncle Heng's sudden withdrawal of his hand is a bit weird. Although it's human nature, but looking at it, it's a bit like... a strategy to kill three people with two peaches?" Daiyu's starry eyes flickered, thinking.

As a bystander, Daiyu sees Jia Heng more clearly, especially in Daiyu's heart, Jia Heng is already the kind of resourceful person who counts ten steps with one step, and suddenly withdraws his hand, there must be something wrong with him. deep meaning.

Of course, this is also a preconception.
