Seeing the expressions of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, the Shan Daliang family was very disappointed.
If even these two people gave up on them, she really didn't know who else could save their Shan family.
So I crawled in front of Jia and Mu in tears, begging for mercy in various ways, which made me burst into tears.
Jia Lian didn't care about this, and even thought of raising his eyebrows to say hello to Tan Chun and others who poked their heads out of the inner hall, which made Tan Chun and Xichun hurriedly hide behind the nanmu block.
In desperation, he seemed to have stepped on the foot of a certain customer, causing a very cute "ouch" sound, and then a faint sound of apology...
Obviously, Sister Miharu and others are listening behind the scenes!
In the main hall, just when Jia Mu and others were feeling compassionate, Wang Xifeng's new confidant Xiaohong ran over.
She first greeted Jia Lian and the others in a polite manner, and then said to Jia Lian: "Second Master, Second Grandma said that there were too many dirty certificates in the Shan family, and it was impossible to count them all at the moment.
However, according to the mistress's rough estimate, the amount of gold tickets, silver notes, gold, silver and copper coins is at least around 8,000 taels. Other jewelry, jewelry, gold and silver vessels, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even a few land deeds and house deeds, all
Converted into something, it is worth at least ten thousand or twenty thousand silver..."
Wang Xifeng knew that Jia Lian urgently needed to copy the amount to silence Jia Mu and others, so she asked Xiao Hong to report in advance.
After hearing this, Jia Lian said: "Old lady, madam, listen, I just asked someone to search, and I was able to find such an astonishing amount. I don't know how much they spent or hid elsewhere."
.
That's it, not counting their house.
After all, being a slave in our family is much better than being an official. The annual salary of those prime ministers and ministers is only a few hundred taels. It's a pity that after working hard for twenty years as an official, their income is not as good as that of a slave in our family.
.”
When Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang heard this, their hands tightened.
The servants who have served the family for several generations, especially the housekeepers and old stewards, are rich men, and they know this well.
However, this Daliang has only been a housekeeper for a short period of time and has not experienced many major events. However, his wealth is extremely rich!
If he is like this, then how wealthy must be the families of those who have been in charge longer than him and have higher status?
For a moment, even Jia's mother couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether she, the princess of the country, had been friends for most of her life.
Seeing the situation, Shan Daliang's family hurriedly stood up and kowtowed: "Most of those belongings are rewards from the old ladies and ladies over the years..."
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were indifferent. They were crazy to reward a slave with so much real money!
Even Lai Da's mother, Aunt Lai, only rewards some clothes and some goods every year, and the total value is only a few hundred taels of silver.
What kind of person is this Daliang that can get so many rewards?
Therefore, they no longer know how their family got all their money.
"Old lady, Madam Mingjian, all this money does not belong to the slaves themselves...but...it was several relatives who saw that the slaves still had some dignity in the house, so they transported the money to the capital and paid it to them.
It was kept for us, but unexpectedly, Mr. Lian took it and found it as dirty evidence. How should we explain it to our relatives later..."
Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang's faces turned dark. Are they being deceived into thinking they are fools?
How can you, a person who has been a slave for generations, have any rich and powerful relatives? To keep your property on your behalf is really becoming more and more outrageous.
A stern look made Shan Daliang's family shut up, and then Jia Mu took a deep breath and said to Jia Lian: "Our family has a big business, a large population, and many things to do. The housekeepers and deacons sometimes make some money from it.
Money is inevitable.
It is difficult to raise fish in clean water. If you are an official in the imperial court, you should be very aware of this truth.
After all, they have been in the family for several generations and have served their masters for several generations. They have worked hard without any merit, so you should be more tolerant."
Obviously, even so, Jia Mu didn't want to do anything to Shan Daliang.
As Jia's mother who has been in charge of the family for decades, she has a strong sense of "territoriality" and knows that these servants in the family who are under her control are an extension of her power.
Once these people are gone, I'm afraid her children and grandchildren may not be as filial to her as they are now.
Therefore, in the past, neither Mrs. Wang nor Wang Xifeng dared to touch her people easily.
She didn't want Jia Lian to set this example.
But Jia Lian was not Mrs. Wang or Wang Xifeng, so he decided to set this example!
"Originally speaking of national law, those who steal and defraud the owner of property should be hanged..."
"Yeah~!"
A sudden exclamation came from behind the huge wooden screen, crisp and clear, with a little sweet sound.
Jia Mu frowned and looked back, then looked at Jia Lian dissatisfied.
The old woman on the ground had a look of horror on her face, and she grabbed Jia Mu's trouser legs as if she were grasping for a life-saving straw.
"Of course, if the ancestors can't bear it, the grandson can also be lenient.
Let's do this, all the ill-gotten gains will go to the officials, and then the human hair will fall on Zhuangzi...
This is already the lightest punishment. They should be severely punished for doing such disloyal and unjust things that violate the laws of the country and ethics. Otherwise, not only will they not be able to serve as a warning to others, but they will also discourage those who are diligent, thrifty and self-disciplined.
, the hearts of slaves who are loyal to the Lord!”
When Jia Lian said this, Jia Mu could not say anything more.
Glancing at Shan Daliang's family who still wanted to ask for mercy, Jia Mu said impatiently: "Okay, that's it.
He is already showing mercy to you beyond the law. If you had acted according to the behavior of the old princes of the past, everyone would have been dead long ago. How can he still tolerate you crying here?
When you get to Zhuangzi, you should mend your ways."
After Jia Mu said these words, even though her kindness was exhausted, she gave the women beside her a look, and those people picked up Shan Daliang's family and dragged them out.
After the crying people were carried away and the hall became quiet, Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang imperceptibly.
Mrs. Wang barely spoke from beginning to end. Strictly speaking, this Shan couple should be considered her talents...
Without thinking much, Jia Mu turned to look at Jia Lian who was calm and sighed: "You ransacked the slave's house like this, aren't you afraid that the slaves below will say that you are cruel, do not follow the rules, and have lost the hearts of the people?"
"To lose is also to lose the hearts of those slaves who have evil intentions and are not loyal enough. These people will have to be eliminated one by one sooner or later.
Our Jia family has no need of disloyal servants."
Jia Lian's answer made Jia's mother feel very unhappy, as if the servants left over from her days of running the family were all disloyal and restless.
However, what Jia Lian said was right and it was hard for her to object.
"Okay, I know you have a good idea, but I still want to remind you that nothing is too much, and one day you will understand that people are rarely confused."
Jia Lian smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, ancestor, for reminding me. My grandson has remembered it. I hope my grandson can understand this truth earlier and learn a little bit of my ancestor's philosophy of life."
Jia Mu felt a breath stuck in her heart, feeling very uncomfortable, so she said angrily: "Anyway, you can't listen to what I said, and I'm too lazy to talk to you. You can go down."
"Ancestor, please calm down, and your grandson will retire first..."
After Jia Lian left, seeing that Jia's mother was a little angry, Mrs. Wang actually advised: "Old lady, don't take it personally, he has no selfish motives.
He must have seen that our family was unable to make ends meet every year, and the money in the official treasury was getting less and less every year, so he became more and more disgusted with the greed of the slaves.
If we talk about it this way, he is only doing what is best for our family, so it would be hard for him."
After hearing this, Jia Mu sighed softly, stood up, put her arm on Yuanyang's arm, and went to the inner hall.
"Mrs……"
Zhou Rui's family came up and called out when no one was waiting.
In terms of status, Shan Daliang and his wife were higher than her and Zhou Rui.
Therefore, Shan Daliang was punished by Jia Lian, which made them, these powerful slaves, feel in danger.
The key point is that it seems that my wife has no intention of being a good insurance policy... This makes her very unsure.
Mrs. Wang saw her thoughts and said calmly: "This time the Shan family went too far, so Lian'er and the others decided to punish them.
Neither Lian'er is stupid. After punishing the Shan family, they will definitely not make any big moves. As long as you behave more cautiously in the future and don't give them any excuses, I think they won't do anything to you.
"
After hearing this, Zhou Rui's family felt somewhat at ease.
Then I saw Mrs. Wang whispering: "Go out and watch, see if Lian'er and the two have sent all the copied things to the official for registration..."
Zhou Rui's family was slightly stunned, and suddenly they understood why Mrs. Wang didn't save the Shan family.
Madam, you have set your sights on that huge amount of property.
On the contrary, if you put those things into the official, it will be a very big fortune for the official!
