Chapter 378: The King of Face-Changing Counterattacks
The incident happened suddenly. Before anyone in the room could understand it, six people had disappeared at the door in an instant.
This time, Lai Dake has finally woken up!
Jia Lian took office today for the first time. In fact, every step he took was premeditated. He was coming with bad intentions!
He had already ordered his servant to wait at the door, and he would arrest people as soon as he gave the order.
Moreover, as soon as he came up, he shot straight towards Shan Ziye with his first shot. This was a very cruel move.
Shan Ziye is not from the Jia family, and he has no friendship or kinship with Lai Da. Moreover, although he, Shan Ziye, swallowed the Jia family's money, he only took a small portion. Such a person can easily put himself in trouble.
Confess it.
If Shan Ziye bites him, then this matter will be a little difficult to handle.
Jia Lian's second shot hit the Wu Xindeng brothers, which was also a fatal move.
As soon as he came up, he asked, "Who arranged the arrangements for Xin Deng and Wu Xinzhu?" Isn't this asking knowingly? The one who put these two brothers in such a key position was of course Lai Da.
Because Lai Er’s son Lai Shangning married Wu Xindeng’s daughter, we are all one family.
Now Jia Lian has arrested Wu Xindeng and Wu Xinzhu, but instead of locking them up in his own mansion, he sent them directly to the magistrate's office. This is obviously to prevent someone in the mansion from doing anything.
Who are you guarding against? Then you must be guarding against him, Lai Da.
Jia Lian wants the people in the yamen to use various means to interrogate Wu Xindeng and Wu Xinzhu. What they want to find out is that they are also lice on the bald man's head - it's obvious. Isn't it Lai Da who Jia Lian wants them to confess?
The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. Lai Da's heart was beating wildly, and two handfuls of cold sweat were clenched in his hands, dripping down to the ground along the seams between his fingers.
.
Jia Zhen was also a little dumbfounded.
Isn’t this about the construction of the Provincial Family Courtyard? How come that not long after, three people have already been sent to the Yamen?
What's all this?
Do you still want the Jia family’s face?
Jia Zhen was about to show off her clan chief's airs and say something, but at this time Jia Lian already had a troubled look on his face, and he cupped his fist at Jia Zhen and said:
"Brother Zhen knows me best. How can I be such a troublesome person? Isn't this the case where I'm being forced into a corner?
All the daughters-in-law in the village know that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Not to mention that I am not a fairy and cannot make gold or silver. Even if my body weighs more than a hundred kilograms and is made of gold, if you smash me and exchange it for money, this will happen.
There isn’t enough to cover the garden.
For me to put you in this difficult position for the master, it’s really like driving a duck onto the shelf, roasting it under the fire, with salt sprinkled on top. I feel really uncomfortable.
If the construction of this special residence for relatives and relatives cannot be completed and it delays the mother-in-law's marriage, our Jia family will have to scold me. I am so anxious that I can't sleep. If Brother Zhen doesn't feel sorry for my brother, then I will cry to death.
Got it."
His expression at this time was exactly the same as when he was drunk and complained to Jia Zhen about Wang Xifeng's horror.
His words, coupled with this look, made Jia Zhen feel a little soft-this Jia Lian might really be driven crazy.
The house is married to a woman from the Wang family, and the immediate boss Jia Zheng is also married to a woman from the Wang family. These two Wang family women must be working together inside and outside, trying to suppress him, the eldest son and grandson of the big family, to completely drive him out of the Rongguo Mansion, which is in charge of the second family.
It’s so cruel, it’s scary to think about it.
Jia Zhen also married a woman from the Wang family, but he has seen the virtues of the women from the Wang family.
Even though Jia Zhen was so willful and used to being willful and no one dared to control her temper, she was shamelessly aggressive and shameless, and Wang Chunfeng, who was desperate for his life, was polished to the point of losing his temper.
It's God's blessing. Fortunately, Wang Chunfeng died early, otherwise Jia Zhen would definitely have a short life.
Marrying a woman from the Wang family already means life is worse than death. Jia Lian, who also marries a woman from the Wang family, has to be plotted against by Mrs. Wang every day, and is attacked day and night. It is simply a human tragedy that one cannot even imagine.
.
.
Jia Zhen, who once "was both a fallen person at the end of the world and a victim of the Wang family", developed sympathy for Jia Lian.
.
So Jia Zhen also smiled and said:
"Brother, I'm serious. This is a matter for our Jia family. Everyone must try their best. How can it be so difficult for only one brother to do it? Let's work together to find a solution for the money matter."
Seeing the grateful expression on Jia Lian's face, Jia Zhen felt a little proud - isn't this Lian Er still the little brother who has been playing with her every day since he was a child? This boy is a bit naughty, but he doesn't have much future.
If you marry Wang Xifeng, you will be even more ruined.
Jia Zhen's unhappiness gradually dissipated, and she continued to talk about Huayuanzi:
"Brother, you are too anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't make a fat man after one bite. This provincial residence has to be built one by one, right?
You also said that we are all laymen. In this garden, building mountains, digging ponds, erecting buildings and pavilions, planting bamboos and flowers all need to be planned and coordinated by knowledgeable people. Brother, we will do it as soon as we come up.
Shan Ziye has been sent to the officials for interrogation, so who will handle the subsequent matters?"
Jia Lian spread his hands:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to release that Shan Ziye."
"How do you say this?"
Jia Zhen felt that his words were confusing, but she still felt that she should remind Jia Lian, who did not know the importance of things.
"Brother, this Shan Ziye is a famous old Minggong in Beijing. Many people have invited him. He is definitely not an ordinary garden craftsman. Don't do anything wrong.
Although he is not from a famous family, he is also a descendant of an official family. I heard that the calligraphy and paintings of various famous people collected by his family in the early years are well-known in the capital, and even the princes go to ask for them to borrow.
This man was good at calligraphy and painting when he was young, and he was quite famous. Mr. Zhan Guangzhan, the Qing guest whom the master valued most, learned the fine details of the building from him.
Later, he became famous as a gardener. Nowadays, those who can hire him are either rich or noble, and all the dignitaries in the capital respect him.
Such a person, even if he cheated our family's money, just let him spit it out, but don't kill them all."
Jia Lian nodded repeatedly when he heard this, but then shook his head:
"I understand the importance.
It's just such a pity that old man Shan Ziye can't appreciate Brother Zhen's kindness."
Seeing Jia Zhen frowning in confusion, Jia Lian said again:
"Brother Zhen, please think about it. The first thing I said was that he told the young man that he had robbed our family of more than one million taels of silver, but he said that he only took one hundred thousand taels. What about the remaining huge sum of money?
?
If it is really in his hands, he can just retreat; if he has accomplices and the others steal the money, then even if Shan Ziye wants to retreat, he will not be able to retreat.
The second thing is more fatal.
Brother Zhen was kind and told me, 'Don't kill them all,' but this wild old beast from Shanzi has been bent on 'killing us all' from the Jia family since the day he entered our house. What can we do?"
