Lin Ruhai's ancestor was a hereditary marquis, so even if there wasn't a lot of family property passed down, there would still be some.
As a civilian foreign official with a high official position, Lin Ruhai's annual income is quite high.
Moreover, Lin Ruhai’s first wife is Jia Min!
Jia Min is Jia Daishan, Jia Mu's youngest daughter and only daughter. She is deeply doted on by Jia Mu.
The reason why Mother Jia dotes on Lin Daiyu now is mainly because Lin Daiyu is Jia Min's daughter, and Mother Jia has transferred her affection for Jia Min to Lin Daiyu.
It is conceivable that when Jia Min married Lin Ruhai, the dowry would definitely be quite large, at least worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
In addition, Lin Ruhai was involved in some corruption during his several years as the Salt Censor of the Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers.
Under such circumstances, how could Lin Ruhai's property be worth only more than 10,000 taels of silver?
Considering that in the wealthy families of this era, it is very common for people under the concubine to be greedy and enrich themselves. Moreover, since Jia Min's death, the Lin family has no wife to manage the inner house...
Therefore, Jia Yun can be sure that the people in Lin Ruhai's concubine must be greedy and enrich themselves!
And Jia Yun said she would take care of Sister Lin.
Let Sister Lin, an orphan girl, have more friends in the future. This is a way of taking care of her.
…
…
The Sanjin Mansion where the Lin family lives is not far from the Qianhu House in Jinyi Mansion, only one mile away.
At this moment, under the leadership of Jia Lian and escorted by a group of cavalry in brocade, Jia Yun arrived at this three-entry house.
The third person entering the house was being guarded by ten salt soldiers.
Lin Ruhai committed suicide in the Yanzheng Yamen. After committing suicide, the prefect Luo Ruiwen did not dare to neglect and arranged for the Yamen to be taken into custody.
Later, Zou Jin came and moved into Yanzheng Yamen, and the Lin family moved into Sanjin House. Zou Jin did not dare to neglect and arranged for salt soldiers to guard Sanjin House as well.
So much so that Lin Daiyu was not allowed to live in it after she arrived.
Jia Lian went to Zou Jin, and Zou Jin allowed Lin Daiyu to live in Sanjin Mansion, but the condition was that Lin Daiyu would not be allowed to come out before Jia Yun came with the edict of forgiveness.
Jia Lian discussed it with Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu chose to live in Sanjin House. She hated living in inns, not to mention that she had already gone home. It would be shameful for her not to live at home.
Jia Lian found an inn nearby to stay.
It wasn't until Jia Yun read Lin Ruhai's edict of forgiveness to Zou Jin last night that Zou Jin was ready to cancel the salt soldiers guarding Sanjin's house. However, Jia Yun said that she would wait until he came today to cancel the order, in order to prevent the Lin family from running away.
The ten salt soldiers guarding Sanjin's house had received orders in advance, and when they saw Jia Yun coming with a group of cavalry in brocade uniforms, they all withdrew immediately.
Jia Yun arranged for the cavalry in brocade to guard the three-in-one house.
After making such arrangements, Jia Yun walked into the house and entered the second door.
At this time, Jia Yun did not bother to avoid the female relatives, but just asked Jia Lian to send her mother-in-law to the second door to inform them in advance.
Immediately, the female members of the Lin family came to greet them one after another, including several of Lin Ruhai's concubines as well as Lin Daiyu, Qian Xue, Xue Yan...
None of the concubines took the initiative to avoid it. They had all heard about Jia Yun and were looking forward to Jia Yun coming so that they could regain their freedom. When Jia Yun came today, they did not avoid it.
The long-awaited Second Master Yun is finally here!
Qian Xue and Xue Yan were very excited, and even Lin Daiyu was excited.
"Master Yun!" Qianxue was the first to greet him with a smile, followed closely by Xueyan.
Jia Yun looked at Lin Daiyu and smiled slightly: "Miss Lin."
There are no elders from the Rongguo Mansion here, so Jia Yun doesn't want to call Lin Daiyu "Aunt Lin" here, but it doesn't sound right to call her "Sister Lin", so she calls her "Miss Lin".
Lin Daiyu said softly "Hmm".
Jia Yun then looked at Lin Ruhai's concubines. All of them could be considered beauties, some were in their thirties and forties, and some were in their twenties.
Jia Yun would not be surprised by this. Given Lin Ruhai's status during her lifetime, it was normal for her to have several concubines.
At this time, a beautiful concubine stepped forward and asked Jia Yun: "Master Jia, I heard that you brought the imperial edict of forgiveness from the emperor to my master. Now that I see you, can I leave here?"
This beautiful concubine's surname is Zhang, and she is naturally called Aunt Zhang.
Aunt Zhang is a native of Yangzhou. Lin Ruhai took her in when she first came to Yangzhou a few years ago. She is deeply loved by Lin Ruhai.
Jia Yun smiled playfully when she heard this and glanced at Lin Daiyu: "Miss Lin, who is this?"
Lin Daiyu became embarrassed, and Qianxue replied: "Master Yun, this is Aunt Zhang."
Jia Yun nodded and looked at Aunt Zhang again: "Aunt Zhang, are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you plan to attend the funeral for Mr. Lin?"
Aunt Zhang became embarrassed: "What did Mr. Jia say? Of course I should attend the funeral for my master, but I have been locked up in this house for a long time, and I am really bored."
"My natal family is in this city of Yangzhou. I want to move there first. It will not delay my funeral for my father."
Jia Yun said "haha" in her heart.
When he had dinner with Zou Jin last night, he didn't forget to ask about Lin Ruhai's family property, and he asked in quite detail.
According to the results of Zou Jin's inventory, Lin Ruhai's property is indeed worth only more than 10,000 taels of silver, half of which was recovered from several concubines' rooms. Especially for Aunt Zhang, the property in the room is worth all together.
More than four thousand taels of silver, which is the most valuable among several concubines!
So it was easy for Jia Yun to judge that Aunt Zhang was in a hurry to move out, probably because she was afraid that her belongings would be lost, so she was anxious to take her belongings to her parents' house!
Jia Yun looked at the other concubines and asked with a smile: "Where are you? Do you all want to move out now?"
As a result, except for one named Aunt Jiang, the other concubines all wanted to move out now.
Aunt Jiang is from Shenjing City. She is the oldest among the concubines and the one who has been with Lin Ruhai for the longest time. She was originally Lin Ruhai's maid, but later became a member of the concubine, and then Lin Ruhai married Jia Min.
Similar to the attacker next to Jia Yun, Zicuckoo.
Not to mention Jia Yun, even Jia Lian who was following Jia Yun was angry now. Qian Xue and Xue Yan were also angry, while Lin Daiyu started to cry aggrievedly.
What kind of thing is this? Even before Lin Ruhai’s funeral was arranged, these concubines were all eager to move out, and each one was eager to take away their belongings...
But Jia Yun was not surprised by this.
Immediately, Jia Yun walked up to Lin Daiyu and looked at the crying sister Lin from a close distance. She felt distressed and funny at the same time. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: She is indeed the crying sister Lin!
Jia Yun had a smile on her face and said softly: "Don't cry. I told you that I will take care of you. Don't worry, I will not let you be wronged."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she cried harder and shed more tears, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
Jia Yun: "..."
Oh, forget it, Lin Daiyu who doesn’t like to cry is still Sister Lin?
Jia Yun didn't want to waste any more time. After all, his main task in coming to Yangzhou this time was to fulfill the emperor's orders, not to deal with Lin Ruhai's family affairs. What's more, he was eager to return to Beijing to figure out the mystery of his life experience.
Not to mention the Lin family's domestic affairs, even if it was the heavy imperial responsibility he was shouldering this time, he planned to handle it vigorously and resolutely, so how could he spend more time on the Lin family's domestic affairs?
So, Jia Yun stopped the smile on her face and shouted loudly: "Zhao Xiuyuan!"
Zhao Xiuyuan, the commander and envoy of Beizhen, who was standing outside the second door, immediately walked in.
Jia Yun specially brought Zhao Xiuyuan here today.
There is no use of a bull's-eye to kill a chicken, and this time to investigate the Lin family, Jia Yun will use a bull's-eye!
Jia Yun then ordered in a deep voice: "Arrest everyone in this house!"
There is no need to give detailed instructions. Jia Yun had already given detailed instructions to Zhao Xiuyuan before coming today.
As soon as the sound fell, several concubines on the scene were stunned to death, and some maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law were also stunned to death.
"Yes, sir!"
After Zhao Xiuyuan received the order, he turned around and walked out of the second door.
Immediately, a hundred people in Jinyi poured into the third-level residence, and bursts of shouting and crying suddenly rang out in the third-level residence...
Lin Daiyu, Qian Xue, and Xue Yan were all dumbfounded.
Jia Lian and the few servants he brought with him from the Rongguo Mansion were so frightened that they hid aside.
Soon, several concubines, maids, daughters-in-law, mothers-in-law, housekeepers and other male servants of the Lin family were all arrested by Jin Yi.
There was no need to arrest them and go to the Qianhu Office in Jinyi Mansion. All these people were tied up and locked up in the back room of this three-entry house.
The back room is quite large, with more than a dozen rooms, equivalent to more than a dozen prison cells.
Immediately, Zhao Xiuyuan personally "interrogated" these concubines. Naturally, this "interrogation" was not an ordinary interrogation, it was an interrogation of the Jinyi Mansion, and torture would be used if necessary...
Jia Yun walked into the main hall. Except for Jia Lian, Lin Daiyu, Qian Xue, and Xue Yan, no one else was allowed to follow her.
After entering the main hall, Jia Yun sat down directly, while Jia Lian and four others stood in front of him.
Jia Yun looked at Jia Lian: "Second Uncle Lian, please sit down."
Jia Lian quickly squeezed out a smile: "I... I can just stand."
Jia Yun felt funny in her heart, knowing that his behavior today made Jia Lian, who was already in awe of him, even more awe of him.
Jia Yun smiled slightly: "Sit down."
"Then...I'll sit down then." Jia Lian then found a seat and sat down.
Jia Yun looked at Lin Daiyu: "Miss Lin, please sit down too."
Lin Daiyu said softly "Hmm" and sat down.
"Master Yun, would you like some tea?" Qian Xue asked Jia Yun.
Originally there was no need to ask about this kind of thing, but now Qianxue was in a state of awe towards Jia Yun. Out of caution and out of wanting to take the opportunity to say a few more words to Jia Yun, Qianxue asked.
Seeing Jia Yun nodding, Qianxue hurriedly went to pour a cup of tea for Jia Yun.
Lin Daiyu couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yun, why did you want to capture my family?"
Jia Yun took a sip of tea, then responded with a smile: "What? Sister Lin is dissatisfied with me because of this?"
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Yun, please don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't say that."
Jia Yun said calmly: "I'm thinking that your family's property should be worth more than 10,000 taels of silver. These aunts and servants in your family must be greedy and enrich themselves."
"Moreover, those so-called aunts just now were in a hurry to move out. I was thinking that they probably wanted to take the belongings out of their rooms. These are the belongings of your Lin family, and I will not allow them to take them away.
, I told you, I want to use these properties as your own."
"Not only will I not allow your aunts to take away the belongings in their respective rooms, I will also investigate your aunts and servants and ask them to make compensation for all the belongings they have stolen from your house.
All my property will be used as a gift for you. In this way, you will have more gifts in the future."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was moved to tears again, and this time she even forgot to wipe her tears with a handkerchief.
Qian Xue, who was standing aside, stepped forward, took out a handkerchief from Lin Daiyu's body, and helped Lin Daiyu wipe away her tears.
This detail made Jia Yun feel that Qian Xue was indeed a good maid and someone suitable to serve Lin Daiyu.
Jia Yun couldn't help but think of Zijuan, who had become a member of her room both nominally and virtually. If Zijuan hadn't followed him by chance, the maid wiping Lin Daiyu's tears would have been Zijuan.
Seeing that Lin Daiyu was only focused on crying, Qianxue couldn't help but speak while helping Lin Daiyu wipe away her tears: "Girl, please stop crying now. Mr. Yun is taking such good care of you. You should thank him."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she quickly stood up and gave a blessing gift to Jia Yun: "Thank you, Mr. Yun."
Lin Daiyu immediately said: "It's just that Aunt Jiang is a good person. I don't think she will be greedy and enrich herself. Even if she is, it shouldn't be serious. Please let Mr. Yun let her go."
Due to her withdrawn temperament since she was a child, apart from her parents and a few servants around her, she had little contact with her aunt and other servants at home. In addition, she lived in Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing City for more than three years.
The feelings of these people naturally fade away.
Moreover, in the three days since she had lived in this three-bedroom house, several of her aunts had not treated her very well, and all of them were eager to move out, which made her feel dissatisfied.
However, Aunt Jiang is an exception.
When Lin Daiyu was a child, Aunt Jiang took care of her. In the past three days, Aunt Jiang has also taken care of her. The relationship between Lin Daiyu and Aunt Jiang is still very good.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already told my subordinates not to treat Aunt Jiang harshly, but I still need to interrogate her, so I even tied her up temporarily. If she is really not seriously injured,
If you are greedy and enrich yourself, you will let her go."
Lin Daiyu said "Yeah", she now had a subconscious trust in Jia Yun's words.
After continuing to chat with Lin Daiyu and Jia Lian for a long time, Jia Yun stood up and said, "The things here will take some time. I have other important things. I will leave first and come back in the evening. I will have dinner here tonight."
Jia Yun looked at Jia Lian: "Uncle Lian, please take good care of Miss Lin. All the servants in this house have been arrested, and you have arranged the food and drink."
Jia Lian hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will make all the arrangements. If you come over tonight, I will keep a table of good wine and food waiting for you."
Lin Daiyu's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Is he coming here for dinner tonight?
She had never sat at the same table with him for dinner!
On normal days, Lin Daiyu would not easily sit at the same table with Jia Yun to eat or even drink, but the current situation was very special, so she didn't care much about this kind of thing.
