Listening to Xue Baochai crying and telling what happened, Lin Daiyu frowned slightly.
The four major families are intertwined. Except for the two rare civil servants, all the high officials sitting in the court are related to each other.
With such power, not to mention fishing out a young master, but now he can't even see him. What does this situation mean?
The wall fell and everyone pushed it!
Has the situation reached this point?
After a moment of silence, Wang Xifeng, who was on the other side of Lin Daiyu, was still crying. His body was trembling, and the clothes around his heart were broken open without even realizing it. The little yellow cat seemed to feel sorry for the clothes, and his eyes were straight with anger.
"Don't worry, Sister Feng. Since there is still news about Brother Xue Pan, the crime will not lead to death, so you don't have to be too sad."
Although she didn't know why Xue Pan was arrested and why Sister-in-law Wang was so sad, the girl still tried to comfort her.
"Uuuu~" Wang Xifeng cried even more sadly.
Xue Baochai has recovered a lot now. After experiencing the world, she suddenly understands a lot. Crying cannot solve any problems.
And sadness and pain may even make enemies laugh.
"Sister Lin, Sister-in-law Wang also encountered a big event here..."
Jia Mu worshiped Buddha, so Sister Feng often went to Mantou Temple to buy some Buddhist scriptures, consecrated jade Buddha statues and the like.
The abbot of the Mantou nunnery is the nun Jingxu. This Jingxu has not reached the state of purity and nothingness that transcends the mortal world, so he actually asked Sister Feng to help with marriage matters in this world.
Jin Ge, the daughter of wealthy man Zhang in Chang'an County, was attracted by Li Yanei, the brother-in-law of the prefect of Chang'an Prefecture, and Li Yanei asked to marry Jin Ge.
But Brother Jin was already engaged to the former garrison son. Rich man Zhang wanted to join the magistrate, so he proposed to break off the engagement with the garrison family, but the garrison family did not agree, and the two families started a lawsuit.
People from the Zhang family came to Beijing to find a way out and asked Jingxu for help. Jingxu asked Sister Feng to write a letter to Yunguang, Jiedu of Chang'an, asking Yunguang to suppress the defense.
Of course, this letter naturally required writing fees, so Jingxu promised Sister Feng three thousand taels of silver.
Sister Feng had done this a lot, and without any hesitation, she wrote a letter to Yun Guang in Jia Lian's name.
Under the suppression of the Jiedushi, the Shou Bei family and Zhang Caizhu's family broke off their engagement. However, one of the parties involved, Jin Ge and the Shou Bei Gongzi, committed suicide by hanging themselves and the other by drowning themselves in the river, both of whom died in love.
Wang Xifeng enjoyed three thousand taels of silver and indirectly killed two people.
In fact, this matter has nothing to do with her. The main responsibility lies with Naoyun Bald, who was corrupt, perverted the law, and abused private power. She has been dismissed from her post and investigated. However, she was also warned by Jin Wuwei and fined her five thousand taels of silver tattoos.
The other thing was a bigger problem. The house was arrogant and luxurious, and the money spent was like running water. Wang Xifeng was in charge of the family finances, and the monthly money of everyone in the family was distributed through her hands.
She then came up with a brilliant idea, to pay the monthly money from the accountant in advance, and then give it to Wang'er, who was under her command, so that Wang'er could use Jia's name to lend money to ordinary people outside at high interest rates.
The monthly interest is three cents, and the next month's interest will be transferred to the basis, and the basis will be re-interested, which is called "lamb profit".
The key is that this is what Wang'er told Sister Feng. However, Wang'er himself lends money at an interest rate of 10%. If the money cannot be repaid, he will bring the evil servants of the Jia family and force the seller to sell his land or even his son.
Selling girls.
In recent years, there have been several murder cases that resulted in the death of others and the death of other people's families. However, the local parents and officials were afraid of the power of the Jia family, so they reported him missing.
As we all know, in the government office, disappearance is just a runaway, not a murder case!
But if people don't know it, they have to do it themselves. In addition, Wang'er is arrogant and domineering in the local area and acts wantonly. How many people know about this matter. If they want to take care of it, Jinwu Guard can easily find witnesses and physical evidence.
No, Jin Wuwei's frame sticker was delivered to Jia's house, and Wang Xifeng needed to come to the door in person to give an explanation.
How does she explain?
Na Wang'er always said that Wang Xifeng was instigating everything, and there was a lot of stolen money at home. Even if he took off three layers of clothes, he still couldn't tell.
As for those amiable uncles and uncles in the past, even the second uncle, Prince Teng, the Nine-Border Controller, received vague information and only said to investigate and ask about the situation.
How could a woman like her have such a thing happen to her? Wasn't the Jia family once the leader of the generals and a noble family? If they couldn't even settle this matter, what kind of family could they be?
too difficult!
After listening to everyone's explanations, Lin Daiyu fell into deep thought.
No matter how you look at it, this is all a problem between Xue Pan and Sister-in-law Wang, right?
"Sister Lin, we are all related by marriage, and even the broken bones are still connected. Moreover, I have also given you a bath, rubbed your back, and washed your feet.
Sister, you have a good relationship with the palace, you must help us this time!" Wang Xifeng begged.
Xue Baochai also had tears in his eyes and looked at Lin Daiyu pitifully.
In today's world, if there is no man in the family, then the mother and her son will only have one ending, that is, they will be deprived of their family by the Xue family clan members, and even the government will not be able to say anything.
And Xue Pan was her biological brother, and her mother had never done anything except dote on her. She was the one who raised him, and the brother-sister relationship was deep.
Nothing can happen to my brother!
Lin Daiyu raised her head, slowly glanced at her sisters and sister-in-law, and sighed quietly: "Sister Xue, Sister-in-law Wang, you cried and cried as soon as you came here, thinking about saving your brother and yourself.
But Xue Pan or Sister-in-law Wang are at least still intact.
But have you ever thought about those innocent people?
It's okay for Feng Yuan. Since he and Xue Pan got together to fight over a Xiangling, he must have a powerful family and he is probably not a good person. What about you, Sister-in-law Wang? So many innocent families were forced to have their families destroyed by Na Wang'er, so you and
Doesn't it matter to you?"
Wang Xifeng was overjoyed that she was saved!
Then the young woman eagerly approached Lin Daiyu, her eyes were red, and begged: "Sister Lin, I don't want to do that either. But now the finances of the Jia family have already been unable to make ends meet. If I hadn't been thinking of ways to supplement the family income, the huge Jia family would have been able to make ends meet.
It became a ruined settlement.
Moreover, Sister Lin, as long as you help me, I can swear that I will never get involved in this industry again, otherwise I will die without any body parts!"
Lin Daiyu turned to look at the little yellow cat and found that the guy was still laughing, obviously enjoying the fun.
The girl just rolled her eyes at him.
Miao Le yawned.
Humans are still interesting, with so many rules, unlike the cat tribe, where the big fist is the father.
But now, throughout Kyoto, he is the ancestral father! He can beat whoever he wants and bully whomever he wants to bully.
Lin Daiyu thought for a moment, those poor people who died are already dead, but their families are still suffering. Even if Sister Feng pays for her life, those people will not survive.
And although Sister Feng said she was arrogant and extravagant, she actually didn't do anything evil. Those people said she was harmed by Wang'er. She didn't even know what happened, but she was concealed by Wang'er's fake power.
Just plain stupid.
"Sister Feng, I can help you, but you have to agree to one condition." Lin Daiyu said in a deep voice.
Wang Xifeng was overjoyed: "Okay! Sister Lin, as long as you can save me, let alone one condition, even ten or a hundred will do."
Lin Daiyu then nodded: "Sister Feng, later I will send the family guards to Jinwu Guard to bring your files. For every family that was directly or indirectly harmed by you, if the whole family dies, you will bury them. Every year
The incense continues.
If there is still one person left, I don’t care how much money you give, I still kowtow and apologize, and let others sign a document of understanding willingly.
After each of your families has been settled, I will take you and the document of understanding to the palace to intercede for you."
Wang Xifeng was stunned.
"Sister Feng, I remind you once again that Skynet is very sparse and there are no leaks. If you continue to bully others and force others to sign letters of understanding, then I can't save you!" Lin Daiyu said in a deep voice.
Wang Xifeng fell into silence.
If this is the case, some difficult families may not be able to solve the problem with just a little money, and may even require the daughter-in-law of the noble prince's family to kowtow and apologize in person. Even so, they may not be forgiven.
In the hundred years of the new dynasty, those people, despite being poor, still had some blood. If there had not been persecution, it would have been very difficult for some people to forgive. Maybe they would be happy to exchange one life for another.
But, does she have any choice now?
In other words, does Sister Lin just want to see her jokes?
Looking up, Wang Xifeng was startled when she saw Sister Lin's leisurely expression. The bit of resentment suddenly disappeared and she gritted her teeth.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Lin Daiyu nodded and looked at Xue Yan.
Xueyan understood: "Miss, I will take the gold medal from the miss and go out to find a guard."
"kindness."
"Sister Lin?" Xue Baochai looked at Lin Daiyu pitifully again.
The little yellow cat was stepping on her head arrogantly, and the girl did not dare to move for fear of making its owner unhappy.
Now the entire Jia family knows that the Lin family loves the kitten very much. Even Lin Ruhai and Jia Min often send letters back, and less than half of the letter is spent asking how the cat is doing.
Every time I send something back, most of it is something the cat likes to eat.
Lin Daiyu stepped forward and took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe Sister Xue's tears.
The girl's neck is as white as snow, her long black hair is tied into a ball, and there are various gold, silver, and jade ornaments on it. She raises her head and stares with a pair of eyes as bright as stars.
Lin Daiyu raised the corner of her mouth, held the girl's chin, and asked directly: "Sister Xue, how much property does your Xue family have?"
Xue Baochai was startled, and after a while he calculated it carefully and said: "When I came to Kyoto, my mother sold all the shops and fields in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Including the money saved at home, the total amount was more than one million taels.
There are also some precious calligraphy and paintings, gifts from the emperor, which should be of good value.
Later, he came to Kyoto and relied on his grandfather's prestige and promised him tens of thousands more taels of silver. His brother had a false name in the Ministry of Household Affairs and received the royal grain from the internal funds.
After that, our Xue family spent tens of thousands of taels to buy four shops in Kyoto and started the imperial merchant business. We made some extra money in the past two years, but all of it was squandered by my brother.
Now, after deducting the one hundred thousand taels that my mother paid for the entry fee, and the household expenses during these days, there is still more than 700,000 taels of silver and various treasures left. If given some time to sell, even if the sale is too hasty, there should be ten
Tens of thousands taels."
Xue Baochai did not hesitate to reveal the family fortune.
At this time, there is no point in hiding it like doing business. If their brother is gone, they will have nothing.
So what if her uncle is Wang Ziteng? No matter how high the official position of the Wang family is, they can't control the Xue family's affairs.
Lin Daiyu pondered for a while and said: "I heard my mother say that when the country was founded, the Jia family borrowed a large amount of money from the court for home construction, about two hundred thousand taels. Have your Xue family ever borrowed it?"
Xue Baochai smiled bitterly: "Why haven't you borrowed it? At that time, the ancestors probably thought that if they didn't borrow it, it would be in vain, and they didn't think of paying it back. Our Xue family borrowed a total of 250,000 taels!"
The little yellow cat sipped his mouth, how long can he eat with so much money? I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it in half a month if he keeps eating!
Lin Daiyu was also speechless.
Don’t our ancestors know that sometimes cheap things in this world are often the most expensive? Isn’t this just giving the handle to others personally?
"Sister Xue, first: you will pay off the money owed by the Xue family to the court in one lump sum tomorrow; second: prepare another five hundred thousand taels of silver, and come with me to the palace to meet His Majesty's uncle in three days, and sincerely admit your mistake; third:
:When Xue Pan comes out safely, your family will move to my Lin Mansion to live for some time."
"Ah?" Xue Baochai was shocked. Although she had made some preparations, she really never thought that this day would come.
Moreover, in these days, several distinguished families actually came to Xue Mansion to talk about marriage. If they married into those families, they promised to do their best to save their brother.
Should I trust those aunts and grandmothers, or should I trust this younger sister who is just over ten years old? Moreover, why did she still come to live in the Lin Mansion after rescuing her brother?
You shouldn't be in Jia's Mansion and keep a close eye on your brother. After all, ordinary people would not come to Jia's Mansion to arrest people.
After pondering for a long time, Xue Baochai did not dare to make this decision.
"Sister Lin, can I go back and discuss it with my mother?"
Lin Daiyu nodded, not taking it seriously, and told Xiang Ling next to her: "Tell the servants to bring out some fruits and snacks. I think the sisters are a little hungry because they haven't eaten for a long time."
Xue Baochai stood up quickly: "Sister Lin, I will go back and discuss with my mother first, and we will come back for snacks next time."
After saying that, the girl said goodbye in a hurry.
Tanchun and Xichun looked at each other and remained motionless.
Although I sympathized with Sister Xue, they were really hungry after crying with her all day.
When the snacks came, Wang Xifeng looked sad and ate absent-mindedly, but the Xichun sisters devoured them. The snacks made by the royal chef in the palace were delicious.
And this is not like in the palace, where the food needs to go through multiple manual inspections before being served. It has been cold for a long time, and the fresh food is of course more delicious.
After a while, Xueyan came in with a Jinwu guard.
The guard was very respectful, bowed and held a ledger in both hands.
"My subordinates pay homage to County Master Lin. This is the case report related to Wang Xifeng of the Jia Mansion that you requested. According to the rules, in principle, the case report is not allowed to leave the Jinwu Guardhouse. I also ask County Master Lin to watch it before allowing me to take it back."
Lin Daiyu raised her hand: "Forgive me, Xue Yan, take the guard Zhan down to have a rest, eat something good, and give me thirty taels of silver as tea payment."
"Xie Lin County Lord!" Zhan Weiwei said happily.
Thirty taels, but his monthly salary is more than that.
When the guard walked away, Lin Daiyu handed the case to Wang Xifeng and said with a smile: "Take a look, Sister Feng, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself."
Wang Xifeng took it suspiciously. Soon, his face became paler and paler, and he even started to sweat all over his body.
All the secret things she thought she had done were all recorded on it. Could it be that the Jinwu Guard was under her skirt?
Tanchun and Xichun also looked at each other.
The Jinwu Guards beheaded first and then reported, and with the imperial power's permission, they were so respectful to Sister Lin.
Could it be that Sister Lin has other identities besides being the most talented woman in Kyoto?
The dignified Jia family turned out not to be as prestigious as a little girl. Is this reasonable?
