Chapter 19 Accumulating Good Luck
Jia Zheng and his two boys ran wildly all the way to Lai's family.
But after he rushed into the yard, panting, he was stunned.
The servants of the two mansions did not fight each other, but carried the boxes happily and excitedly. Not far away, the guards of the East mansion were escorting Lai Da and his family to kneel on the ground.
“Woooo~, woooooo~~~~”
Lai Da, whose mouth was gagged with a rag, saw Jia Zheng and struggled violently. The guard who was escorting him simply He pressed his head and face to the ground and rubbed it, "Be honest."
"Woooooo~~~"
Lai Da's tears were streaming down his face.
“Stop, what are you doing?”
Jia Zheng gasped fiercely, “Stop it, brother, Zhen’er, the old lady is here, you all stop it! Are you going to piss off the old lady?”
Although he was glad that his eldest brother did not fight with Jia Zhen, but they were like this... almost instinctively, he sacrificed his old mother.
"Zhen'er, it's okay for you to mess around in your own house, how can you cause trouble in our house."
Rong Mansion belongs to him.
“You want to force me to file a complaint...”
“Second brother!”
Jia She shouted, pointing to the small box in front of him, “You yourself Let’s see what this is?”
Jia Zheng: “…”
He walked over slowly.
Standing quietly in the box is a camel made of Tang Sancai.
This and this...
In an instant, Jia Zheng's red face, which had just run out, quickly turned pale.
This is a Tang Sancai piece that his father liked very much. He remembered that he put it into his father's coffin with his own hands. Why is it here?
Jia Zheng turned his head to look at Lai Da blankly.
“Woo~, wuwu~~”
Lai Da struggled, as if to say, this thing is not that thing.
Jia Zheng took a deep breath, "Things are similar, let's listen to what Lai Da has to say!"
It is really up to the eldest brother and Jia Zhen to take down Lai Da. God... I'm afraid it will all become half.
"Brother, Lai Da grew up with us, can't you just listen to what he says?"
"Oh~"
Jia She laughed angrily at him , "Okay, these camels are similar, but what about this one? Doucai Seahorse Tianzi Jar, don't tell me, he also happens to have one at home."
In the box on the other side, there are not only Ming Chenghua's Doucai Haima Tianzi jars, but also several bottles and jars. They look... Although they are not big, they really look familiar!
Jia Zheng suddenly spotted a crab-claw pattern small plate from Ge Kiln. This was once his favorite thing. Originally, these things were a pair, but Zhuer accidentally broke one when she was a child, and then He put the other one away.
Shouldn’t it be in his small warehouse?
Jia Zheng couldn't help but pick it up. It was really... the more he looked at it, the more it looked like.
"Come on, let's take a look at these two boxes again."
Jia She opened a box in person, and it was shining with golden light in the sun.
Hiss~
Rao was born into a wealthy family, and the golden light shining in front of his eyes made Jia Zheng so shocked that he didn't know where he was standing.
Although the box does not look big and is not completely full, a casual estimate shows that it is more than a thousand taels.
This and this?
Jia Zheng looked at Lai Da again.
Lai Da looked gloomy, but he still whimpered and wanted to speak.
"I also took out a small box of this money at Lai Sheng's house." Jia Zhen was originally unhappy, but after seeing the similar belongings here, she almost scattered them, "If Uncle Zheng If you want to hear Lai Da lie, I can let him defend himself."
Jia Zheng: "..."
He looked at Jia Zhen blankly, and finally saw the corridor behind him. Kneeling Lai Sheng.
Good guy, this is going to take over the Lai family!
"The old lady is here, the old lady is here, my son!"
Grandma Lai ran in crying, but when she saw a box in the yard , rolled his eyes as if he couldn't bear it, and fell to the ground softly on the spot.
"Jia Zhen, stop it, old lady."
Jia Mu was busy supporting her before she got out of the car. However, as soon as Mrs. Wang helped her enter the hospital aggressively, she suddenly paused. Lived.
So many boxes?
How fast does this have to be copied?
Neither of them paid attention to the small plate from Ge Kiln in Jia Zheng's hand. Their eyes could not help but glance at the two gold ingots that Jia She held casually in his hand.
"Jia Zhen wishes the old lady peace, and the second aunt Zi's peace."
Jia Zhen also bowed politely, "If it's not Zhen who doesn't want to stop, it's really too much for Lai's family. "He straightened up, "The Lai family eats my Jia family's food, drinks my Jia family's food, and uses my Jia family's food, and even steals it. Come and see, old lady, they can even be buried with my uncle. Steal it out.”
What?
Jia Mu could not stand firmly. Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng, who came from behind, hurriedly supported her.
After that, there was Youshi who was ordered to come over quickly to watch the excitement.
"Look at it all!"
Jia Zhen glanced sideways at Youshi, "Look at how bold these slaves are. After reading this... let's report it to the official!"
< br>
He originally wanted to kill all these people, but thinking about such a big battle today, he didn't know how many people outside knew about it.
Twenty or thirty people from top to bottom of the Lai family were all beaten to death at once. The Jia family would definitely be impeached by Yushitai.
Jia Zhen waved her hand and took Lai Sheng and Lai Da to a side room with the palace guards escorting them, "You brothers, talk to us. Once the negotiation is over, we will talk."
"..."
"..."
A group of people were confused.
What else can the Lai brothers talk about?
“Two uncles,” Jia Zhen didn’t seem to notice everyone’s doubts, “It’s all thanks to Lai Sheng that we were able to dig out the treasure in Lai Da’s secret room so quickly. I have promised to give him three One hundred taels of Anjia silver, and his two younger sons."
"..."
"..."
Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang were all stunned by his operation. But they were stunned. Jia She moved very quickly. He quickly moved a small box, poured out all kinds of rings inside, and packed ten gold ingots in a row. After thinking about it, he grabbed a handful of gold and jade rings and stuffed them inside. , "I can't let you work in vain."
He thrust the small box into Xing'er's hand, "Zhen'er, uncle, thank you for today's matter."< br>
It is right to let Lai Sheng and Lai Da talk.
So much property cannot be known to the government.
The Jia family cannot afford to lose this face.
After all, if outsiders knew that the Jia family was stolen by slaves, they would probably laugh out loud.
"Here..."
Jia She glanced at his mother, "For the sake of the old lady, just leave Aunt Lai and the youngest child alone!"< br>
Jia Mu: “…”
She looked at Aunt Lai who was waking up faintly, and her face twitched.
......
Ning Guo Mansion, after eating, taking a nap, and going out to bask in the sun, Shen Ning saw several carriages parked in front of the courtyard, and immediately, boxes were carried one by one Coming down, I couldn't help but smile.
"Grandma, this is the list I copied. Take a look."
Jia Rong's eyes were full of excitement, "I will send all the unimportant ones to the kitchen and the warehouse. "
"Well, my brother Rong is capable."
Shen Ning looked at the list with a smile, but it was better not to look at it...
< br>Written on the first line is one thousand three hundred and twenty taels of gold.
The second line is seven thousand eight hundred and sixty taels of silver.
In the third row, there are three shops for rent, namely the grain shop on Changsheng Street, the grocery store on East Street, and the Ningrong Back Street.
The fourth row is a hundred miles outside the city, with a hill and an additional sixty-eight acres of farmland ranging from upper, middle and lower.
The fifth line...
Chen Ning glanced at three pages and found it shocking.
A casual estimate shows that the Lai family embezzled more than 100,000 taels from the Jia family.
This does not include the three-in-one courtyard where their family lives.
No wonder some of the boys from the Jia family call them Grandpa Lai when they see Lai Sheng and Lai Da.
Really...
Shen Ning slowly put down the list in her hand, "A lot of people know about today's news, right?"
"...Yeah!"
Jia Rong hesitated for a moment, "I saw an adult wearing the official uniform of Yushitai."
"..."
Shen Ning frowned, "When your great-grandfather was in Ningguo Mansion, he borrowed 120,000 taels of silver from the treasury." She thought for a moment, "Before I go to the government office, Brother Rong, take the IOU and ask Jiao Da to hand over the 120,000 taels of silver sealed in the warehouse and this gold to the treasury."
Huh?
Jia Rong was stunned.
His great-grandfather is so powerful. How can his family still owe money to the treasury when they are so rich?
"Be good, hurry up and go before your father comes back!"
Speaking of this, she raised her voice to Jiao Dada who was guarding outside the courtyard: "Jiao Da, take you with me. My little master, return the money that the old man owes to the treasury."
"...Yes!"
Jiao Da hurriedly handed it over.
In those days, everyone borrowed money, and if you didn’t borrow money, you would be unsocial.
Jiao Da knew that the man was still thinking about the money before he died.
Now I finally get my wish.
"Grandma, this gold..."
Jia Rong hesitated.
“Last year, Kaifeng suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm.” Shen Ning touched her belly, “Grandma is getting old and wants to help your uncle or aunt gain some blessings. Please help me donate to the national treasury. Isn’t it better for the adults above to distribute disaster relief than to do it ourselves?”
“Grandma..., I’ll go right away.”
Shen. Ning thought of something, "You do one more thing for grandma. I'll add some of the money you borrowed to a round number and donate it to the treasury. Please ask the adults above to distribute it to the Salesian Bureau around the capital." br>
It is not impossible for an individual to do good deeds, but the Jia family is already a big family and attracting attention, and then trying to win people's hearts...
Shen Ning feels that it is better to hand it all over to the emperor.
The Emperor is still here, but the Emperor has little money and cannot do anything he wants to do.
Giving money at this time is not a help in times of need, but it also shows a little loyalty.
Although it will offend those who have not paid back the money, in the long run, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.
Shen Ning waved to Qingzhu, "Go to the room and get two thousand one hundred and forty taels of silver notes."
"Yes!"
Qingzhu hurried in.
“If the adults above ask you why you are donating money now, just say directly that your grandmother has been cursed and you feel uneasy. You want to bring blessings to your uncle and aunt and pray for peace!”< br>
If you want to hate someone who has not paid back the money she owes, then hate her!
As a woman, after hearing such a curse, it is normal for her to do any abnormal behavior for the sake of the child in her belly.
As for the Xifu next door...
If Jia She was not stupid, he would have followed suit.
Anyway, if he doesn’t pay back the money, he won’t be able to keep it.
Jia She has always been positive about things that make Jia Zheng and Wang unhappy.
