Nowadays, as a rare prince's family in Kyoto, there are only two existing male elders in the Jia family's Rong Ning mansion: Jia Zheng and Jia She. Jia Zhen, who once seized the title of Ningguo mansion and is now in a coma for a long time, is just the next descendant of Jia Zheng and Jia Zheng.
generation.
Therefore, the two of them are usually in charge of all matters of the Jia family.
Although Jia She ascended the title of first-class general, all matters of the Jia family, including finances, were actually in the hands of Jia Zheng or Mrs. Wang. In addition, Jia Zheng usually regarded himself as a scholar, so he had very strict control over the young masters and ladies in the family.
.
Even Jia Baoyu, the treasure of the old lady, was beaten many times.
If a father wants his son to die, the son must die. If the father disciplines his son, even the old lady will at most come and ask for mercy.
As soon as Jia Zheng left, Jia She only focused on walking chickens and fighting dogs all day, practicing wild grass and monuments, and was not in the mood to control it. As a result, the young ladies in the mansion roamed around in the garden as they pleased every day. It was really
The time is wasted and the years are added in vain.
Xue Pan used to be a little afraid of Jia Zheng, and his usual behavior was a little restrained, but now he can be said to be bold and wild.
In an ordinary room, Xue Pan was telling a secret event in a deep voice.
"This matter can be traced back to the day when I went to the Imperial City Department to apply to become an imperial merchant.
At that time, the palace maid raised a difficult question: Give me ten cents and ask me to buy something that she can't even lift. If I put it in front of her, what should I buy?
"Are you insulting my IQ, or are you simply lowering the supreme quality of Huang Shang?" I said angrily after hearing this boring trick.
"Never underestimate your own potential and the sincerity of others," the maid of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said calmly: "I will tell you three stories."
It seemed that she was more leisurely than me, so I sat down again.
“The first one took the money, bought a bag of seeds, planted half an acre of corn, and later harvested several hundred kilograms of corn.
"Well, then you took him and made him an imperial merchant?
"No, they have the land and the skills, but they are not as good as ours."
Hearing what the palace maid said, I actually admired her broadmindedness.
"The second interviewer bought an egg pancake for ten cents and left after eating it. He said he wanted to teach me a lesson."
Nice job! But she doesn't seem to have learned the lesson, I thought to myself.
"Actually, I had noticed his embarrassment a long time ago and bought him a full meal at my own expense."
Ah, here, I was suddenly moved by her brilliance of humanity.
"The third interviewer bought a pack of shiny paper, folded it into cute little animals at the school gate, and sold it to children for fifty cents.
He also used the fifty cash to buy a bunch of flowers from a flower farmer and sold them to scholars at the Lantern Festival in the evening, making a profit of five hundred cash."
"Then he must have been hired, right?"
"I haven't finished talking yet. He continued to buy and sell back and forth, turning five hundred coins into five guan, then fifty taels, and five thousand taels. After that, he moved to the salt field, and after several fights, he became a big salt merchant worth millions. He also bought
He became an official and later became my boss."
I restrained my mocking attitude. This Imperial City Division test, regardless of whether it was reasonable or not, always seemed to bring good luck to those who came.
It would be foolish to give up this opportunity for transfer.
But what should I do to turn ten coins into ten thousand coins?
I stood in the crowd with ten cents in my arms, and infinite possibilities sprouted in my heart.
When you have a successful career and become famous, things that you never dared to think about before suddenly become within your reach.
I recalled her three stories, her mind, the brilliance of humanity, and the accumulation of wealth. These key words kept lingering in my mind.
Finally, as if I had an enlightenment, I had an idea. I wanted to buy a life of my own!
So I walked resolutely to an old lady with a face full of vicissitudes of life. She and her flower basket were left unnoticed in the cold wind.
I bought a weather-beaten but still sonorous flower from her, and waited for the lower-ranking maid at the gate of the Imperial City.
"Hey, I bought a heavy piece of love, and I want to see if you can handle it."
"A child can be taught." She smiled casually, feeling pleased with my persistence and perseverance.
In the small house she rented, we discussed countless business transactions and had some great ideas for the future imperial merchants."
"Then you kicked in the door and came in. Everything I said is true!" Xue Pan defended loudly.
"Every time I raid a prostitute, you are there!" Jin Wuwei almost laughed out of anger.
As the capital of the world, the most profitable things in the past and today are naturally two types: gambling and gambling, not to mention casinos, and those rich but boring young masters who often go there to play.
As for Huang, he is naturally the Jiaofang Secretary.
And these prostitutes are all privately owned. One is to delay everyone's making money, and the other is that there is a mixed bag of good and bad. Some of them are even sick, so the superiors will naturally not support them.
Jin Wuwei slowly took out a spiked iron whip, which seemed to have dark red blood stains on it.
"Pa~"
Kong waved his whip, causing Xue Pan's body to tremble.
"Sir, it's not necessary. I haven't done anything bad, so why should I be punished? You said, I admit it, I admit it! My family is rich, as long as you let me go, I can say anything!" Xue Pan said with a smile.
cried.
I originally thought that he would be fined just like before, and he made some flirty remarks at first, but I didn't expect that he would actually do it now.
"Oh, you all plead guilty, right?" Jin Wuwei took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and asked, "You visited prostitutes and gathered a crowd to resist. Do you admit this?"
"Admit it!" Xue Pan said seriously.
Anyway, there is the atonement silver ordered by the Supreme Emperor. If he has money, why wouldn't he dare to admit it?
Jin Wuwei smiled: "Xue Pan, Yu Jinling and Feng Yuan, the son of the Feng family, fought for the maid Xiangling, and finally let his servants beat Feng Yuan to death. Do you agree with this?"
Xue Pan was shocked: "How did you know this?"
"Snapped!"
Jin Wuwei slapped him directly: "Your name has not changed, your appearance has not changed, and you are still arrogant and domineering in the capital all day long. How do you think I know this?"
Xue Pan was slapped and fell to the ground, with tears almost streaming down his face. He was very aggrieved. Didn't the prefect's master say that this matter was over?
Jin Wuwei was angry when he saw this guy. Why wasn't he such a rich man?
"Bang!" He stepped forward and kicked me again.
"Tell me, do you admit it?"
His father died young. Xue Pan has been pampered since he was a child. He has never been beaten. No matter how he has been wronged, he nodded quickly: "I admit it, I admit it, I admit it!"
"Sign and stamp!" Jin Wuwei took out the red seal from his arms and threw the brush directly in front of him.
Xue Pan was stunned for a moment and could only sigh that he still carries this thing with him because he loves what he does. Then he quickly signed and pressed his fingerprints heavily.
After finishing his work, the young man looked at Jin Wuwei pitifully: "Sir, can I go home?"
"Humph, go home? After doing this, you still want to go home? Wait for your family to pay the money! Get into the cell and squat down! Otherwise, I will change the cell door for you to a man who likes you."
Jin Wuwei said coldly.
"Really?" Xue Pan was a little surprised.
Jinwuwei:???
"roll!"
"Hello!"
After cleaning up this disgusting thing, Jin Wuwei went to the side room, took out the pledged charges, and submitted them.
"Commander, I've got it. That guy is really stupid."
Lin Luofeng took it and nodded: "Okay, let's go down. This matter is known to heaven and earth. You know it and I know it."
"yes!"
After his men left, Lin Luofeng picked up the charges and looked at them carefully before putting them aside.
When the ink dries, this will be one of the keys that can bring down the four major families.
The so-called four major families are so stupid that they cannot see the reality clearly.
Previously, a group of people supported Chitose Yoshitaka and even conspired to rebel, but were directly suppressed by the Emperor. Later, the Emperor was merciful and thought of his ancestors' meritorious service, so he killed a group of ringleaders, and the title and family property were still inherited by them.
It's good now. The Holy One is still here, and he's on the side of King Beijing and Old Chitose Yi Zhong. Isn't this lighting a lantern in the toilet?
Dealing with such a huge interest group is very simple. If one has enough prestige to reach the level of the Supreme Emperor, who has both civil and military skills, he can directly suppress it with his backhand.
If the prestige is not enough, then we can only peel off the cocoon and slowly suppress it.
Remove his power, seize his wealth, seize his power, make everyone hate him, completely reject him, and finally take action with a thunderous strike.
Otherwise, if we take it by force, although there is a high probability of success, it will also make the loyal ministers of the imperial court perform meritorious deeds, the rabbits will die, and the foxes will be sad, and they will eventually join forces.
As the leader of the Jinwu Guards, Lin Luofeng was different from Sheng Xue's imperial mentality, and this was what he learned.
He doesn't know how to govern the world, but he deceives people. He thinks he is second in the world, and no one dares to think he is first.
"Dong dong dong~"
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the house.
Lin Luofeng, who was enjoying himself, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Come in."
Opening the door, a Jinwu guard rushed in, covered with dirt, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, that dog came to the palace to snatch things again. This time, it took away Concubine Jia's urinal. My brothers chased after me no matter what.
Not on!"
Lin Luofeng:???
Damn, this is a rip off, he seems worse than a dog. Why does this guy need a urinal? Does he still want to drink something fresh?
Isn’t the imperial concubine’s urine still sweet? Isn’t this just teasing!
He could imagine how he would be scolded by His Majesty again when he returned.
"Ah, if a dog can enter my imperial concubine's palace at will, does that mean that anyone can enter? Is it as easy as stealing a urinal if someone wants to kill me?
What about the Jinwu Guard? Hundreds of people can't catch up to a dog. I spend so much money every year, I might as well feed that dog!
Chase me, check me, if you can’t catch that dog, don’t come back!”
Although every time he waited for His Majesty to take a break after a few days, he would take niece Lin to the palace and lick his face to apologize, but it was still a bit embarrassing for the dignified commander to not be able to catch up with a dog.
dog?
Commander Lin suddenly remembered the particularly edible cat in niece Lin's house. That guy must also be a strange beast.
Moreover, cats and dogs have been incompatible since ancient times. If you ask Your Majesty to make that cat the royal cat and use it to catch dogs. Plus there are so many of them, and they can surround and intercept them, maybe they can really catch the culprit.
It can be done!
After thinking about it for a while, Commander Lin suddenly felt that he was the reincarnation of Kong Ming. The world's wisest people were ten dozen, and he had a full twelve dou. The extra two dou were the people in the world who owed him!
Half a month later, Lin Mansion.
After Lin Daiyu practiced, she went to the courtyard and lay on a deck chair, leisurely watching Lele fishing by the small lake.
Xue Yan and Xiang Ling were serving melons, fruits and tea.
After enjoying it for a while, Lin Daiyu simply carried the two little ones to the chair together. They were so sweet, soft and cute that they would cry when she pinched them. They were so comfortable.
As for Lele next to it, generally you can’t catch fish.
"Bang~"
It was obvious that Lele was so angry that she jumped directly into the small lake and beat up the fish that were biting the bait but not taking the bait one by one.
"Sister Lin~" With a clear call, Lin Daiyu looked up and saw sister-in-law Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai, and Tanchun sisters coming together.
Sister-in-law Wang, who used to be arrogant, smart and capable, and several others, today have dark bags under their eyes and are in low spirits.
Lin Daiyu got up and poured tea for her sisters-in-law herself.
"Look, I said the magpies were chirping in the yard today. I thought it was something else. It turns out it's the sisters and sisters here."
In the past, when Wang Xifeng heard such words, he would have already started to joke, but now he had no energy at all, smiled bitterly, and sat down to drink tea.
A few people were chatting casually, and there was a sound of sobbing from nearby.
It turned out that Xue Baochai suddenly started sobbing. When they heard her cry, Wang Xifeng, Tanchun Xichun and others also started crying, each one more sad than the other.
"Meow~" The little yellow cat suddenly jumped on the girl's shoulder, looking around with great interest.
What's going on, why are you crying so sadly? Is there something sad that happened? Tell me about it to make me happy?
hey-hey!
Lin Daiyu turned her head and looked at each other, her eyes deep in the abyss.
Miao Le smiled so fast that he quickly closed his mouth.
Recently, this shit-shoveling officer has discovered his weak spot. If he makes a big mistake, not only will he not take a bath with him, he will even refuse to let Xi Ren, Xiang Ling, and Xue Yan help him wash.
He loves a clean kitten so much, but he doesn't let him take a bath every day. Isn't this abusing the kitten?
It is simply unforgivable to treat him like this.
hateful!
After she was subdued, Lin Daiyu drank tea and ate melon seeds and waited quietly.
She has a long life now, so there is no rush,
All the suffering that has happened or is about to happen, as time goes by and the years pass, you will find that no matter how painful and scary it was at the time, in the end, when you think about it, it is just a very ordinary thing.
Xue Baochai held her handkerchief and cried a few times. After Tanchun Xichun went over to comfort her for a while, she got up and walked to Lin Daiyu. With pear blossoms on her pretty face, she squatted slightly and saluted: "Sister Lin, please save our Xue family."
Lin Daiyu was stunned. The four major families were so powerful. Why did the dignified daughter of the Xue family still ask for her?
There must be something fishy about this!
After helping Xue Baochai up and sitting aside, the girl asked carefully what happened.
Although she didn't like the Xue family's style, when she came to Jia's house, she received a gift from the Xue family: bird's nests.
Xue Baochai cried and started to tell her the grievances she had felt these days.
It turned out that after Xue Pan was captured by the Jinwu Guards, the guy immediately confessed to the crime. He even admitted to killing Feng Yuan in Yingtian and colluding with officials and businessmen to escape responsibility.
After that, Jinwu Guard sent the post directly to Xue Mansion. Aunt Xue suddenly panicked and took the money from the mansion to Jinwu Guard to ask for mercy. As a result, Xue Pan didn't even see her, so the one hundred thousand taels of silver were gone.
Only then did Aunt Xue sense that something was wrong, and then sent someone to notify her daughter Xue Baochai, who was accompanying the palace.
Xue Baochai came out and found the elders he had known and had a good relationship with, including Jia She and Mrs. Jia. He spent a large amount of money and only received one sentence: The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. It is natural and right to kill people to pay for their lives.
