Chapter 185: Rectify the Jia Mansion and capture Laida
After Lin Zhixiao left, Jia Yun sat in the "office" and thought carefully about going to Wu Qinhou's Mansion to capture Ding Chi and Gao Liang.
The process went smoother than he expected.
In his expectation, there might be VIPs or even the King of Beijing County forcibly stopping him, which would cause some trouble.
Fortunately, the result was that although the Prince of Beijing County came forward, he did not forcibly stop it, nor did any other distinguished guests.
In addition, as a second-grade military attache, Ding Chi had many personal soldiers.
When Ding Chi was captured today, there were many soldiers around Ding Chi. In Jia Yun's expectation, the people of Jinyi Mansion might have a fierce battle with Ding Chi's soldiers today.
The result was not bad. When Ding Chi saw Jia Yun arresting him forcefully, although he resisted, he ordered his own soldiers not to take action.
Ding Chi still has some sense. He knows that when Jia Yun is so strong, his soldiers taking action will only have disadvantages but no benefits. The disadvantage is that in addition to causing casualties to the soldiers, it is also likely to aggravate his crime.
Although the operation went smoothly, Jia Yun felt no sense of accomplishment, let alone pride.
This action means that his sword of Emperor Tianzhi has been opened.
Drive it loudly and have a deterrent effect.
But it also means that he has begun to offend the prince of Beijing County, the four kings who are in a group, and the powerful interest group of the Founding Martial Arts...
And this is just the beginning.
His sword of Emperor Tianzhi is bound to cut down on this road many times in the future...
well!
…
…
Zhao Xiuyuan did not disappoint Jia Yun.
It only took one afternoon for Gao Liang, the chief steward of Wuqinhou Mansion, to confess.
He not only confessed to his own crimes, but also confessed to Ding Chi's crimes.
As the chief steward of Wuqinhou Mansion, Gao Liang used his power to bully others and seized three shops in Shenjing City and many fields outside the city. He also embezzled a lot of property from Wuqinhou Mansion.
According to Gao Liang's confession, in addition to the crime of "forcibly seizing a civilian girl as a concubine, and forcing the girl's father to death if her father refused to obey", Ding Chi also committed several corruption and perversion of the law, plus the crime of condoning his servants to commit evil.
It was enough to raid the house of Marquis Wu Qin.
Ding Chi was quite stubborn and did not confess despite Zhao Xiuyuan's hard and soft tactics.
It was also because Ding Chi had a distinguished status and it was the first time for Zhao Xiuyuan to conduct such an interrogation as the envoy of Beizhen, so he did not torture Ding Chi.
However, after Gao Liang confessed, it would not help if Ding Chi did not confess.
So the next morning, Jia Yun led the Siguanmen of Jinyi Mansion to raid the Wuqinhou Mansion and also raided Gao Liang's home!
Just like when he ransacked the house in Huainan, Jia Yun was still cautious when he led the people to search the house this time. He still supervised hard and ensured that he was not corrupt. Even if it was inevitable that his subordinates would secretly "take" property, it would not be much.
Wu Qinhou's mansion confiscated property worth about three hundred thousand taels of silver.
Gao Liang's house, haha, about one hundred thousand taels worth of property was also confiscated.
When Jia Yun told Ding Chi the result, Ding Chi was shocked. He didn't expect that the chief steward in his house had so many properties, and many of them were stolen from Wu Qinhou's house. Obtained through power in the name of Wu Qinhou Mansion.
This incident also made Jia Yun very emotional!
This is true for Wu Qinhou Mansion, so why not the same for Ningrong Mansion?
The servants of the housekeepers of Ningrong's Second House, Qingke Xianggong, were also very greedy. They also did dirty things of bullying others and taking advantage of others in the name of Ningrong's Second House...
Thinking of this, Jia Yun sighed in her heart: It's time to rectify the housekeepers and slaves of Ning Rong's second house and clear the guests!
He has been waiting for this day for several years, and now the time has come!
…
…
The fourth day of October was the second day after the confiscation of Wu Qinhou's house.
In the morning, summoned by Emperor Tianzhi, Jia Yun came to the palace and walked into the Qianqing Palace.
With such an important official position as the commander of Jinyi Mansion, Emperor Tianzhi would certainly be cautious and arranged for someone to monitor Jia Yun in Jinyi Mansion.
Emperor Tianzhi already knew about Jia Yun's behavior in arresting people the day before yesterday and ransacking their homes yesterday.
Emperor Tianzhi was very satisfied, and he was most satisfied with two things.
First, Jia Yun did not give much face to Beijing County Prince Shui Rong, which meant that Jia Yun took the side of Emperor Tianzhi.
Second, when Jia Yun led others to search his house, he was not only incorruptible, but also worked hard to supervise it.
Such a commander of Jinyi Mansion is exactly what Emperor Tianzhi needs!
If the commander of the Jinyi Mansion is not loyal to him as the emperor, or is corrupt when raiding his house, then he will not only replace such commander of the Jinyi Mansion but also punish him!
Because he was very satisfied with Jia Yun, when Jia Yun walked into the Qianqing Palace and appeared in front of Emperor Tianzhi and saluted Emperor Tianzhi, Emperor Tianzhi rarely smiled at Jia Yun.
Jia Yun first handed over the list of yesterday's house raids to Emperor Tianzhi.
After Emperor Tianzhi read the list carefully, he sneered: "A Marquis Wu Qin's mansion actually has so much property. What's even more ridiculous is that a housekeeper in the mansion also has so much property!"
Emperor Tianzhi immediately announced the decision to punish Wu Qinhou Mansion.
The stolen property was transferred to the officialdom, Ding Chi was dismissed from office and imprisoned, Gao Liang was beheaded, and their family members were either sent to the Jiaofang Bureau or demoted to slavery!
Jia Yun secretly sighed in her heart: Emperor Tianzhi is such a ruthless man!
Obviously, Emperor Tianzhi punished Wu Qinhou Mansion very severely this time!
Jia Yun knew that Emperor Tianzhi was doing this to show his majesty and to warn the four kings and their cronies, as well as the powerful interest group of Founding Martial Arts!
At this time, Jia Yun suddenly knelt down and said to Emperor Tianzhi: "Your Majesty, I want to apologize to you!"
Emperor Tianzhi frowned: "What is your crime?"
Jia Yun said: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are slaves and Qingke in the Ningrong Household. They not only embezzle the property in the house, but also use the name of the Ningrong Household to bully others and take advantage of others."
"Although these are the crimes of the slaves and Qingke lords, the Ningrong and Rong mansions are also responsible for poor management."
"Although Wei Chen is just a side disciple of Rong Guo Mansion, he has also received favors from Rong Guo Mansion in recent years. Therefore, Wei Chen is also responsible for this matter, so I will plead guilty to the emperor today."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Emperor Tianzhi blinked: "..."
Well, Emperor Tianzhi thought he already knew Jia Yun very well, but he didn't expect that Jia Yun would suddenly make such a fuss in front of him today.
Emperor Tianzhi knew a lot about the affairs of Ning Rong's Second Mansion.
He has long disliked Ning Rong's Second Mansion, and has long been concerned about the huge wealth of Ning Rong's Second Mansion. And because of Jia Yun, he has paid more attention to Ning Rong's Second Mansion.
Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of his palace, had some contacts with Ning Rong's Second Mansion. He had frequent contacts with the circle of Ning Rong's Second Mansion and knew Ning Rong's Second Mansion very well.
Dai Quan told him almost everything about Ning Rong's Second Mansion.
He knew that the lives of Ning Rong and his second family were extravagant and luxurious, he even knew about Jia She and Jia Zhen's dissolute and shameless ways, and he knew that Jia Zheng was old-fashioned and ignorant of the world...
However, due to the protection of the Supreme Emperor, and the fact that there was now someone he admired, Jia Yun, he naturally would not go to rectify Ningrong's second mansion.
And now, well, Jia Yun actually took the initiative to blow herself up in front of the emperor!
After Emperor Tianzhi was stunned for a moment, he deliberately asked in a deep voice: "Is this true?"
Jia Yun said: "If it weren't true, how could I bother the emperor with such a thing?"
Without waiting for Emperor Tianzhi to continue asking, Jia Yun said with a serious expression: "Please allow your Majesty to allow me to lead the Jinyi Mansion's officers and servants to capture the mischievous housekeepers and slaves of the Ningrong and Rong Mansion, clean up the guests, and confiscate these people's homes!"
Emperor Tianzhi blinked again: "..."
Jia Yun continued to look serious and said: "Wei Chen is loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly, and now as the commander of Jinyi Mansion, Wei Chen will inevitably attract attention. If Ning Rong and Rong's housekeepers and slaves, Mr. Qingke, do not deal with them, Wei Chen may be punished by others."
You may even be impeached if you use your words, but on the contrary, the humble ministers can serve the emperor with all their might and magnanimity!"
Hearing this, Emperor Tianzhi was both impressed and moved!
Appreciation lies in the fact that Jia Yun is indeed brave, resourceful, mature and steady.
What touches me is, look, such a capable minister is so loyal to himself, the emperor!
but……
Emperor Tianzhi coughed dryly and said: "This matter requires the consent of the Supreme Emperor. I will take you to see the Supreme Emperor in person at this moment. You can truthfully tell the Supreme Emperor your thoughts."
When it comes to Rongguo Mansion, even if Jia Yun only wants to rectify the housekeepers and servants of Rongguo Mansion this time, Emperor Tianzhi will not be able to make the decision without authorization. After all, Rongguo Mansion is protected by the Supreme Emperor!
Immediately, under the personal leadership of Emperor Tianzhi, Jia Yun walked out of Qianqing Palace and went to the Ningshou Palace area on Imperial Palace East Road.
In front of the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Tianzhi, the most noble father and son in the world, Jia Yun roughly repeated what he had said to Emperor Tianzhi before.
Jia Yun also cleverly added a few words, which roughly meant that this move was also for the sake of Rongguo Mansion. It punished the unclean housekeepers and slaves and cleared away the guests to eliminate future troubles for Rongguo Mansion.
As a result, the emperor agreed!
However, the Emperor requested that all the stolen property be handed over to Jia Mu.
Jia Yun felt happy about this request, but Emperor Tianzhi was depressed.
…
…
Is Jia Yun's act of self-destruction stupid?
Are you so cruel that you even stab yourself?
Of course not, haha, how could Jia Yun stab herself stupidly!
He had thought it over carefully beforehand, and he also had a sense of proportion!
The housekeepers and slaves of Ning Rong's second house, Mr. Qingke, must be dealt with now.
Because now, as the commander of Jinyi Mansion, he will inevitably attract attention, including many relatives of the emperor, princes and ministers, and as the commander of Jinyi Mansion, his sword of Emperor Tianzhi has begun to offend people...
One of Ding Chi's crimes this time was: condoning his servants to do evil!
Although Jia Yun is only a side disciple of Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion has been very kind to him in recent years, and he has long been tied to Rongguo Mansion.
In this case, someone might criticize the servants of the Rongguo Mansion for doing evil, and even impeach Jia Yun, saying that the Rongguo Mansion condoned the evildoings of its servants, so why should Jia Yun be the commander of the Jinyi Mansion?
Although Jia Yun took the initiative to plead guilty in front of the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Tianzhi, he plead guilty very cleverly. He said that these were the crimes of the slaves and Qingke, and that the Ningrong Palace was also responsible for poor management.
It is only the fault of poor management, not the sin of condoning the evil deeds of subordinates!
Moreover, Jia Yun said that he was just a branch of the Rongguo Mansion. Because he had received favors from the Rongguo Mansion over the years, he felt that he was also responsible for this matter, so he wanted to plead guilty.
With this said, not only his own culpability can be ignored, but Ningrong and the Second Mansion's culpability is not that big either.
As far as Jia Yun knows, neither Jia She nor Jia Zhen has committed any serious crimes so far. Their extravagance, lust, and shamelessness are not considered important to wealthy nobles like them.
What a big deal.
So now, if others want to impeach Jia Yun through Jia She and Jia Zhen, these two big cancers, it will not work.
Now, as long as Jia Yun rectifies the housekeepers and servants of Ningrong's second house and Qingke Xianggong, Ningrong's second house will not affect him for a while.
As for Jia She, Jia Zhen, Jia Yun will also take care of them if there is a chance in the future!
…
…
In the morning of this day, Jia Yun returned to the Yamen of Jinyi Mansion after leaving the palace, and immediately started to prepare for the renovation of Ning Rong's Second Mansion.
What made Jia Yun funny was that when he was preparing for this matter, Lai Da, the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion, suddenly came to the Yamen of Jinyi Mansion.
"Second Master Yun, the old lady asked me to ask you whether the case at Wu Qinhou's Mansion has been finished. If so, you can take time to see her today, either at noon or in the evening."
Lai Da smiled at Jia Yun.
Previously, Lin Zhixiao came to Jia Yun and said that Jia's mother had summoned him, but Jia Yun declined on the grounds that she was busy with the Wu Qinhou Mansion case. This was not an excuse but a fact.
Jia Yun does not want to be an ungrateful person and will not forget the kindness shown to him by Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Wang Xifeng and others.
Jia Mu summoned her. Under normal circumstances, Jia Yun would go to see Jia Mu.
It's just that he was really busy with the case in Wu Qinhou's house these past two days. He was busy until very late at night before going back to the house to rest. He had neither the mind nor the energy to deal with Jia Mu.
Jia Yun looked at Lai Da standing in front of her, and at the head butler of the Rongguo Mansion who had a smiling face but was hiding a traitor in his heart. Jia Yun felt funny in her heart.
Lai Da can be said to be the most important person he punished this time, and now this guy actually came to his door.
Jia Yun smiled and asked: "Uncle Lai, why did the old lady ask you to come to me this time? Where is Lin Zhixiao?"
Lai Da hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Yun, please stop calling me that. Aren't you trying to torture me? Butler Lin is busy with other things today, so the old lady asked me to come."
Jia Yun nodded and continued to ask with a smile: "How is your mother lately?"
Lai Da was puzzled, wondering why Jia Yun mentioned his mother Lai in front of him.
Lai Da continued to laugh with him: "Thanks to the old ladies in the house, sir, it is also thanks to the blessings of the ladies and the second master Yun that although my mother is old, her body is still strong."
Unexpectedly, Jia Yun immediately asked with a smile: "Oh? It's good to be strong, so as not to be unable to withstand the imprisonment."
Lai Da: "..."
After being stunned for a moment, Lai laughed and asked: "Master Yun, where do you start with this?"
Jia Yun said "hehe" and immediately shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"
Suddenly, two guards standing at the door of the "office" walked in: "Sir!"
Jia Yun pointed at Lai Da: "Get this person!"
Lai Da: "..."
This time Lai Da was stunned again, and then he realized what he was doing, and his expression changed drastically: "Yun...Yun Second Master, what are you doing?"
The two officers did not hesitate, they immediately stepped forward and captured Lai Da...
